Chapter 1: Thunder on a Dry Day
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu initially set the country, and the national order was still developing in an orderly manner.
Northeast Hecheng, where most of the Han people live, sometimes there will be ethnic minority tribes outside the city to trade here, of course, there are some troublesome Xiangma bandits.
There are 10,000 Dingliao guards stationed in the city pass, and from the generals to the soldiers, there has never been a single troublemaker.
With such an iron army guarding, the people in the city naturally lived in peace and happiness. Man-made cholera can be pacified by ordinary people, but non-man-made cholera is not something that ordinary people can deal with.
There is a village in the city, which is usually a place where the bodies of the dead are placed. But once all kinds of supernatural events occur, the people will also ask the people of Yizhuang to help deal with it.
After the old owner of Yizhuang died, Yizhuang was handed over to his only apprentice, Xiao Lie, to take charge. Xiao Lie's parents died when he was a child, and he was brought up by the old owner. Xiao Lie is also very smart, at the age of fourteen, he learned the skills of the old owner, and at the age of twenty, he was already a household name in the city.
Since then, whenever there is something in the city, the old owner of the village will let Xiao Lie deal with it. The old farmer also ended up enjoying his old age and enjoying two years of happiness, and suddenly one day, he called Xiao Lie to his side, told him that his anger was at the end of his life, and told Xiao Lie what to do after his death. Xiao Lie wrote them down one by one, and never left the master for half a step in the next few days. Finally one day at noon, the old farmer Xiao Lie drank wine and bought meat, and after the two drank a few glasses, the old farmer returned to the world and passed away.
Xiao Lie cried a lot, and took care of the aftermath according to the master's instructions. After the coffin of the old farmer was buried in the ground, Xiao Lie called the guys of Yizhuang to the main hall and told everyone the last words of the old owner. These guys have been doing things in Yizhuang for more than ten years or even decades, and they also know Xiao Lie very well, and none of them have a rebuttal to this. What's more, Xiao Lie is still the only apprentice of the old owner.
Within a month, Yizhuang returned to its previous state. At this time, Xiao Lie was bored, and happened to find that there were not many herbs in Yizhuang Pharmacy. I immediately decided that I was going to the mountains to pick some herbs and come back, and I should be relieved of my boredom.
Xiao Lie walked to Nanshan Mountain in the city alone, in order to understand the natural unhappiness of boring, when he arrived at Nanshan, it was already noon, after entering the mountain, Xiao Lie swept away the haze in his heart and played with it. Running all the way from the bottom of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain, teasing insects and catching butterflies, catching birds and catching snakes on the way, not at all like a young man in his twenties, but like a teenage naughty boy, who has forgotten about collecting medicine on the mountain.
I was playing happily when I suddenly heard an earth-shattering thunderclap. It was originally a sunny day, and it was impossible to thunder for no reason, and it was so loud, Xiao Lie contained the mood of being crazy, stopped and looked up at the sky, and said secretly in his heart: "Thunder on a dry day, could it be that there are monsters here?" Just as he was about to check the reason, there was another thunderclap, followed by a roar, Xiao Lie ran in the direction from which the sound came.
The thunder of the dry day followed one after another, each time becoming more and more violent, Xiao Lie accelerated the speed of the pursuit.
Not far away, a young man sat under a pine tree, holding a golden spear in his hand. Xiao Lie hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"
When he found that someone was coming, he struggled for a while, but he didn't stand up because he was too tired, so he had to sit up straight under the tree and replied: "There are two monsters that ran to this mountain, so I chased after them." I've been chasing it for a day and a night since I found it out, and I can't run anymore, so I'll take a break here. Brother, don't be afraid, now that the thunder is tight on a dry day, the monsters can't come out to harm people, and when the rest is good, I will remove these two monsters. This young man didn't see that he was also a cultivator, and he regarded Xiao Lie as an ordinary person.
While the two were talking, Xiao Lie carefully observed this person, this person was dressed in white, the blue pattern was embroidered just right, and his already handsome face looked even more heroic. The most important thing is that Xiao Lie finally saw the weapon in the young man's hand, and the barrel of the gun was printed with a pear blossom logo.
"Pear Flower Gun, brother is a member of the Changbai Mountain Pear Flower Sect?"
"Exactly, how does Brother Tai know?" the young man looked at the ordinary person in front of him in surprise.
"My name is Xiao Lie, and I am now the owner of Hecheng Yizhuang. When he was young, his teacher visited famous mountains, traveled all over the world, and learned martial arts. After I started, my teacher told me a lot about what I had seen and remembered. Haven't consulted my brother's daimyo yet?"
"My name is Xing Hao, Brother Xiao is right, I am a disciple of the Changbai Mountain Pear Flower Sect. Blame me for being too tired, I didn't see that Brother Xiao is also a fellow practitioner, there were many rudes in his words just now, forgive me!"
The two are of the same age, and they are both cultivators, so they get acquainted very quickly. Xiao Lie took out a pill from the treasure bag on his waist and handed it to Xing Hao: "This is my own medicine, I can recover my strength after eating it for a quarter of an hour." When you regain your strength, let's go find those two monsters. ”
Xing Hao took the pill and swallowed it without thinking much about it. Sure enough, as soon as the pill was entered, Xing Hao felt that the speed of physical recovery was particularly fast, and he was already full of physical strength in less than a quarter of an hour. stood up, shook off the floating soil, and bowed to Xiao Lie: "Thank you Brother Xiao for the medicine, I'm fine, without further ado, let's hurry up and catch up." This dry day thunder has the meaning of stopping, waiting for the two monsters to come over, it will be difficult to deal with. ”
Xiao Lie got up and saluted: "That's true, but where did this monster go? If you continue to look for it like this, I'm afraid you will miss the best opportunity." ”
"Don't be afraid, I have a compass here, and there is a spirit search talisman in it, as long as you follow the compass, there will be no problem. ”
The two of them didn't talk nonsense, tidied up their clothes, and followed the instructions of the compass to chase down.
According to the instructions of the compass, the two chased all the way to the top of the mountain, and the compass's pointing stopped at a cave, and the two knew that the monster was in the cave.
At the same time, the thunder on a dry day stopped abruptly, and the monsters in the cave were overjoyed when they saw that the thunder had stopped, and they both breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so dangerous, if it weren't for the two of us running fast, this thunder on a dry day would have to kill the two of us." ”
"But it's not, this thunder tribulation is too powerful, this is only a thunder tribulation once in five hundred years, if it is the thousand-year-old thunder tribulation with our current skills, it will definitely not be able to bear it, and when we have enough spirits, we will first supplement some nutrition, and then make two chicks to play, we are also happy, happy and happy, hahaha......"
"Very good, very good, it's good to recover your strength after entering the blood food, foolish brother, I haven't been a woman for a long time. ”
The second monster said this, and laughed. The two brothers outside the cave have long been quietly hiding at the entrance of the cave, and the conversation just now is in their ears, when they hear the blood collection and food, close to the woman, the anger in the chest has been burned, the two of them looked at each other, and clenched the weapon in their hands.
The two monsters were laughing, Xiao Lie and Xing Hao rushed straight into the cave with the weapons in their hands, Xiao Lie shouted angrily: "Good monsters, the thunder just now didn't kill you, you should practice hard and enter the right path, and he can also fall into the realm of an earth immortal one day." But you have no repentance, and you have no good thoughts in your hearts, and you cannot be left today, and my brothers and sisters will do the right thing for heaven, so that you will not be able to continue to do evil. ”
The two monsters were stunned for a long time, looking at the two of them, they were not idle people. Because he had just escaped the thunder tribulation, his spiritual power and essence were very weak, and his reaction was a little slower, and it was too late to wait for the two to react.
I saw Xing Hao holding a gun in one hand, stabbing straight into the chest of a monster, and the tip of the spear skewered out from the back, and the monster died without a sound. Another youkai saw it and shouted, "Brother." grabbed the weapon on his waist and was about to hit Xing Hao, how could Xiao Lie on the side give it this opportunity and cut it into two pieces with just one knife.
The two smiled at each other, tacitly. Xiao Lie burned the corpses of the two monsters with the True Fire Talisman, and incinerated the Inner Dan of the two monsters with the Spirit Robbery Talisman, which was considered to have completely eliminated the hidden danger.
Walking out of the cave, Xiao Lie asked Xing Hao: "Thanks to these two monsters, they have just been robbed by thunder, so we can destroy them so easily, otherwise it must be a vicious battle." What are the next plans of the brothers? If there is nothing important, I don't want to come to the cold house to get together. ”
"Then it's bothering, I just want to ask Brother Xiao for advice or two. Xing Hao clasped his fists and saluted.
"Don't be so polite, if you do this, I'm a lot more restrained. We are the same age, you still call me by my name, one by one Brother Xiao, I'm really a little uncomfortable. ”
Xing Hao relaxed when he saw Xiao Lie so hearty: "Okay, then please lead the way, I'm hungry." ”
The two of them also laughed out loud as they had seen the monsters before, and walked out of the cave, Xiao Lie took Xing Hao and walked in the direction of Yizhuang.
When I returned to Yizhuang, it was already approaching dusk, Xiao Lie asked the room to arrange some wine and food, and after three rounds of drinking, Xinghao found an opportunity to raise a toast: "Thank you for your hospitality, I really have a limited amount of alcohol, and I am full, this glass of wine will be used as the end bar." ”
"Since you can't drink anymore, I won't force it, come and do it!"
Putting down the cup, Xing Hao then asked, "Is the mountain we went to just now a heavy mountain?"
"No! Chongshan is on the west side, and the one we went to is Nanshan. What's wrong with this heavy mountain, is there still a monster?"
"There are no monsters, there is a big event going to happen, and I came down the mountain for this purpose. ”
Hearing the word big thing, Xiao Lie looked at Xing Hao with bright eyes: "What's the big deal?"
