Take out the reddish-brown scabbard from the Qiankun bag, Xueqin has not yet slashed the evil beast, so it needs to be protected with a scabbard.

According to Zhang Banxian's experience, whether it is an immortal weapon or a treasure weapon, as long as it is a sharp weapon, it must be put away with a special color scabbard before seeing blood for the first time.

The jade sword needs to be equipped with a black or brown scabbard, the metal sword is mostly blue and green, and the bone sword is mostly red, which is used to reconcile the five elements of yin and yang, and protect the sword owner from being injured by the sword's own strength.

And what he was happiest about was not just his natal refinement, but that the masked one had no reason not to use the sword anymore.

It's just that the masked god is haunting, and Mu Chen doesn't know when he will see him again.

"Now that the refining is over, I can explain to my uncle that I will go to Bayi County under the mountain to inspect whether there are any demon beasts and people. ”

"If a demon beast appears outside the city, you can give Xueqin a blade, and by the way, try how powerful Xueqin is with the swordsmanship I have realized in the past few months. ”

Thinking of this, he returned to the front mountain and found Xuan Qingzi who was meditating in the meditation hall.

When Xuan Qingzi saw Mu Chen, he still didn't have any good feelings, but he didn't say anything else, and directly sent him down the mountain to patrol, which made the frightened Mu Chen breathe a sigh of relief, and Edgeworth left Zhushan.

Bayi County is the largest county town in Shu, and it is very close to Zhushan, and Edgeworth can enter the city in ten minutes.

However, Mu Chen took back the blood on the mountain outside the city, after all, the immortal cultivators were mysterious and rare, he didn't want to be too ostentatious when he patrolled, he just wore civilian clothes and wandered around Bayi City like an ordinary person.

Drink tea in the teahouse and listen to any strange stories in the community.

When I heard this, I heard some news.

"Hey, have you heard, there was a strange incident outside the city recently, a farmer surnamed Wu was sleeping at home, and when he woke up the next day, he lost an ear, or his wife found it, and he didn't feel it at all. ”

"A few days later, this farmer surnamed Wu lost another finger, and he woke up and disappeared, do you think it's strange?"

"This can't be, he lost his ear, he won't know?"

"That's right, don't say I lost my ears, it's just that I usually scream in pain when I accidentally touch the meat when I chop vegetables, doesn't this surnamed Wu know that it hurts?"

There was a loud and noisy discussion in the teahouse, and even the teahouse owner and the shopkeeper came over to guess why the farmer surnamed Wu had lost his ears and fingers, and why he had not even felt any pain, so he lost a part of his body for no apparent reason.

Mu Chen sat in on an adjacent seat, and the discussion in the teahouse continued.

"Maybe this farmer surnamed Wu has a strange disease, I heard that there is a disease like him in this world, and the body of the sick person will rot little by little, and he is unconscious. ”

"I think there is another possibility, a while ago there was a gambling hall in Dongshi, and many people lost their fortunes there, even their pants were lost, maybe this surnamed Wu secretly gambled and borrowed usury. ”

"The loan shark couldn't afford it, and his ears and fingers were chopped off by the casino people, and he didn't dare to tell his family, so he pretended to fall off suddenly. ”

"It's also possible......"

When Mu Chen heard them guess like this, he couldn't help but wonder why these people didn't guess that it was a monster, so he interjected.

"I think this strange thing is done by demon beasts, there are nearly 20 kinds of man-eating monsters recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" alone, some monsters have poison on their bodies, which will paralyze people's perception, and they can be eaten by them without people noticing. ”

As soon as he said this, the faces of the people gathered around the tea table changed.

The middle-aged man who talked about this at the beginning looked Mu Chen up and down a few times, and saw that he was wearing civilian clothes, his face was white and pure, thinking that he was the son of a rich family, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"This son, I advise you not to guess, the Immortal Sect is on the mountain not far away, how can we have demon beasts here?"

"But the situation you are talking about is very likely to be ......"

"Oh, I'm sorry guys, but I have something to do in the afternoon, so I'll go first. ”

"Me too, me too, boss checkout!"

"Oops, my stomach hurts so badly, I have to go to the hut......"

However, in three or five minutes, the people who had originally gathered in the teahouse to join in the fun hurriedly dispersed, leaving only Mu Chen with an inexplicable face, and the tea in his hand was also a little cold.

Mu Chen thought about it, but he still felt that this kind of strange thing was very likely to be done by demon beasts, he didn't know what other monks would do if they encountered this kind of thing, since his uncle asked him to track down the traces of demon beasts around Bayi County, he couldn't sit idly by.

Putting a few copper coins on the table, Mu Chen set off for the outside of the city.
