Chapter 171: The drunkard doesn't mean to drink
As soon as the old mayor entered Pingyichang's room, he saw Pingyichang sitting cross-legged on the bed and doing his work to heal his wounds, his face was pale, and his whole person did not look as energetic as he had been a few days ago.
Lao Dao noticed that someone had entered his room, and slowly opened his languishing eyes, knowing that it was the old mayor, and he was about to get up to greet the old mayor.
Seeing this, Mayor Yu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said: "Dao Chang Kai came to sit down and rest, there is no need to see him like this, the old man heard that the chief was seriously injured for the demon removal in Wind Chime Town, and he was very uneasy in his heart, so he came to visit, I don't know how the long injury is now?"
When Ping Yi heard this, he thanked him: "The poor road is much better, and the mayor of Lao Town has remembered it." ”
"Dao Chief, don't say that, you made it like this for our Wind Chime Town, it's really ashamed to be old, but you can't help Dao Chang with anything. ”
Chief Ping Yi said guiltily: "Poor Dao is ashamed, I didn't kill that monster, and I failed to live up to the hope that the mayor and the people of Fengjing Town had for me. ”
The old mayor comforted Ping Yi and said, "The Taoist chief doesn't have to blame himself for this, all the people of our Wind Chime Town know that the chief has done his best." Speaking of which, the people of our Wind Chime Town are ashamed of the Taoist, if we hadn't invited the Taoist to come, the Taoist would not have waded into this troubled water, and he would not have been seriously injured here. ”
Ping Yi said: "Destroying demons and defending the Dao is the duty of our cultivators, even if the old mayor does not invite Heiyi to come, Heiyi will know about this, he will come uninvited, and he will not stand idly by." ”
The old mayor politely said: "I thank the Taoist chief for the people of the town, and I hope that the Taoist chief will recover soon." ”
"Thank you, old mayor, please thank all the people of Wind Chimes for me, thank you for their concern for the poor road. ”
"I will. The old mayor hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, in addition to the old man coming to visit the Dao Chief, there is one more thing to ask the Dao Chief, and I also ask the Dao Chief to give him advice. ”
Captain Ping said modestly: "The old mayor doesn't have to be so polite, you have something to say, but it doesn't hurt." ”
The old mayor said: "The centipede spirit was injured by the Taoist chief, and he doesn't know where to hide, and he is secretly recuperating from his injuries. This morning, a few hunters in the town went up to the mountains to hunt, and stumbled upon the carcass of a wild deer and antelope that had been plagued by centipede spirits......"
When the old mayor said this, Du Xinrui, who was squatting in the bell and drum tower all night last night, said secretly in his heart: "No wonder I waited in the bell and drum tower all night last night, and I didn't see any trace of that monster." ”
Du Xinrui asked curiously, "How does the old mayor know that those two wild animals were killed by centipede spirits and not by other demon beasts?"
The old mayor said: "Because when the centipede spirit first came to the town, it didn't hurt people, but only targeted some domestic animals and birds. The animals and birds it killed had one thing in common, that is, all the bone marrow and brain juice were sucked out, and only a shell corpse remained. ”
Hearing the old mayor's description, everyone couldn't help but tremble, goosebumps all over their bodies, and Dao Xin asked suspiciously: "Listening to the old mayor's words, this demon originally didn't eat people, why did he harm people later." ”
The old mayor recalled: "About a month ago, there began to be a disappearance of people in our town, and later the government checked, and found the missing people in the deep mountains, but they have been sucked out of their brains and marrow, only an empty shell skin is left, and then this monster is getting bolder and bigger, and its actions are becoming more and more rampant, often entering the town at night to kill people and suck the marrow, and pity those women and children who were killed." I think the reason why it kills people may be because the essence of human beings helps its cultivation! After all, human beings are known as the spirits of all things, and they have endless spiritual energy and wisdom roots. ”
Resolutely said: "This animal has simply lost its conscience, and it has done this thing of destroying heaven and earth." ”
Du Xinrui didn't sleep all night, she was sleepy at this time, she couldn't help yawning, and said: "That monster is really cunning, it knows that it is injured, it is not our opponent at this time, and it does not dare to risk entering the town with injuries to commit murder, and is afraid that we will catch turtles in an urn, so we can only go up the mountain to hunt wild beasts to satisfy hunger." ”
The old mayor said: "What the girl said is very true, so everyone thinks that this is a good time to destroy it, if you wait for it to heal from its injuries before dealing with it, it will not be so easy." So I'd like to ask Ping Yichang, is there any good way to ambush this harmful monster now?"
When Ping Yi heard this, he shook his head helplessly, and said: "It's a pity that I'm seriously injured and can't help much, if I force it, I'm afraid it will backfire, but it will kill the people in the town in vain. Ay... Poor Dao couldn't think of any good way to deal with this monster for a while. ”
Hearing what Chief Ping said, the old mayor's only life-saving straw also sank, and the old mayor said in a panic: "It seems that this Wind Chime Town is about to come to a catastrophe, Dao Chief, after your injuries are better, you should leave Wind Chime Town quickly! ”
Miss Mulian looked at the old mayor so nervous and frightened, and asked uneasily, "Why did the mayor say this?"
The old mayor said: "Miss Mulian doesn't know, that monster has suffered such a big loss, and after it recovers from its serious injuries, it will definitely slaughter all the people in the entire town in a frenzy, and take revenge on Wind Chime Town frantically." ”
When Miss Mulian heard this, she said in a panic: "What the old mayor said is extremely true, but now we have no better way, and no one has the ability to destroy this centipede essence while it is seriously injured." ”
The old mayor was helpless and said in frustration: "It seems that this catastrophe is difficult for the people of Wind Chime Town to resolve, so I should hurry back and let the people of Wind Chime Town flee and go, so as not to save their lives if it is too late." ”
Hearing the old mayor's pessimistic words, Dao Xin suddenly thought of Du Xinrui, and he said to the old mayor: "Actually, the old mayor doesn't need to be so pessimistic......
When the old mayor heard this, he said happily: "Listening to the words of the little mayor, is there any clever plan?"
Dao Xin said: "My master is seriously injured now, so naturally he can't do his best to get rid of demons for Wind Chime Town, but there is one person she can solve this trouble for Wind Chime Town." ”
Mayor Yu said: "May I ask who this person is Xiao Dao Chief, and where is he? I will send someone to invite him immediately." ”
Dao Xin smiled and said, "This person is far away in the sky, close in front of him. ”
Everyone looked around, but they didn't see such a person who was strong enough to compete with the centipede essence.
Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Dao Xin smiled: "This person is our Miss Du." ”
Miss Du pointed to herself and said in surprise: "Me?" She didn't expect that Dao Xin would look up to her like this.
Ping Yichang's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, why did I forget Miss Du." He said to the old mayor: "I think the only person who can save Wind Chime Town now is this Du girl." ”
The old mayor looked at the weak girl in front of him, he couldn't believe his ears, and he looked at Hei Yichang with a pair of disbelief eyes.
Captain Ping looked at the old mayor's eyes, understood his intentions, and said: "The old mayor don't underestimate this Miss Du, don't look at him so weak, although Miss Du is young, but his cultivation is not low, and he has far surpassed the poor road." If it weren't for Miss Du's help, the three of us master and apprentice might have died in Huangquan a long time ago. ”
The old mayor immediately turned around and knelt down to Du Xinrui and begged: "Girl, please forgive the old man for being clumsy, I didn't see that the girl was actually a hidden master, she was really unseemly, and the sea water was incomprehensible, and I asked Miss Du to save the people of our Fengchi Town from catastrophe." ”
Du Xinrui hurriedly supported the old mayor and said: "The old mayor is going to break Xinrui, I will do my best to do the things in Wind Chime Town, and I will never let that monster run rampant here and do whatever he wants." ”
When the old mayor heard this, he was very grateful in his heart, and he shed tears of excitement with relief, and said to himself: "The people of Fengjing Town are finally saved." ”
After Mayor Yu left the inn, Ping Yi asked for a long time, "Miss Du went out late yesterday night, what did she gain?"
When Du Xinrui heard this, she was very surprised, last night she secretly came out of the inn from the window, although the long room of Ping Yi was not far from her room, but it was not close, it was separated by two guest rooms, how did Ping Yi know that she went out?
Ping Yi said: "Although I was injured, but there is nothing wrong with my ears, the moment you jumped out of the window, I knew that you must have gone to the street to spy on the whereabouts of the monster, in fact, what the mayor said today, I think you must have thought of it a long time ago, otherwise you would not have gone out in the middle of the night, and did not return to the inn until dawn." ”
Du Xinrui said uneasily: "Dao Chief, I also understand that now is a good time to get rid of that monster, but I am afraid that my cultivation will be no match for that centipede essence, although it is injured now, but after all, its cultivation is not low." ”
Ping Yi said with a long voice: "Miss Du, I think with your current cultivation, you must have stepped into the realm of the middle grade of the fusion period, if that monster is not injured, you may not be able to hold it, but now that it is injured, coupled with your ingenuity, I believe you can definitely defeat it and eradicate it." ”
When Du Xinrui heard this, her momentum and confidence increased greatly, and she said: "After listening to the words of the Taoist, I already have the confidence to deal with that monster, and I have also come up with a plan to deal with that monster, just wait for it to fall into the net!"
Ping Yi asked curiously, "What good way has the girl come up with to deal with the centipede essence?"
Du Xinrui smiled mysteriously: "When the time comes, the Daoist will naturally know, why should the Daoist be so anxious?" ”
