Chapter 37 Tengshan Chong
The official roads in the territory of the Tang Kingdom are all paved with bricks hewn from green granite, straight and wide, which can accommodate six cars to pass in parallel.
"Drive, drive!"
The coachman shouted the trumpet in his mouth, shook the horse rope in his hand vigorously, whipped the whip from time to time, made a crackling sound, and urged the horse to lead the carriage to gallop in the direction of Tengshan Chong.
Inside the car, in the center of the carriage, there is a knee-high lacquered wood small round table, on the table there are several food boxes, the food box carved tenon, and the table carved tenon, and the table carved Mao Dao tightly fit, in the shaking carriage smoothly hold all kinds of snacks.
Mei Daojia and the other five people sat around the round table, drinking tea and eating snacks, chatting to pass the time.
"This official road is really wide enough!"
Mei Daojia lowered the curtains, turned around and said, "It's just that there are fewer people!"
"Tengshan Chong, as the largest mountain treasure distribution center near Wuyang City, used to be full of traffic, goods like wheels, and the official road was full of carriages going to Tengshan Chong to bring in goods, but since the pig demon began to make trouble......"
Wang Dafu was worried, paused, shook his head with a wry smile: "The traders don't dare to go to Tengshan Chong to do business, so it's not as good as Qianluo." ”
"Senior Brother Wang, don't worry too much, the people and I will definitely get rid of that pig demon this time!"
Xiao Tianyun comforted Wang Dafu and cut the railway.
"Senior brother, I have thanked the two senior brothers first!" Wang Dafu said to Xiao Tang and the others.
Tang Guomin leaned on the wall of the compartment casually, and the corners of his mouth curled in response.
Although this matter was led by Mei Daojia, Wang Dafu did not express his gratitude to Mei Mu and the others, in his opinion, Xiao Tianyun and Tang Guomin, the two senior brothers of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, were the main forces in this demon eradication, and Mei Mu and the others were more like foils, or they were traveling to the mountains and rivers to gain experience.
Mei Daojia didn't mind much about this, she originally planned to come out to mix up some actual combat experience, and with Xiao Tang and the two of them, they must be the main force.
Dean Chen even said that he wanted to show merit for the two of them, so that the two of them had the opportunity to join Tianxing City, and the two of them who had fought chicken blood had to work harder, and Mei Mu and the two came out to experience it as the reason for their merit.
Mei Daojia wanted to use them as bodyguards for his own training, but they used Mei Mu's experience to show their merits, hehe, they are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Xiao Tianyun's words are mainly based on him and Tang Guomin, which shows that he is serious, as Dean Chen said, if he really can give them credit, it will be related to his future.
He had been stuck in the Great Perfection of Qi Refining for a while, and apart from saving money to buy the Tsukiji Dan to seek the foundation, he had no other way to join the sect to continue his cultivation.
Most of the resources in the Tang Kingdom were monopolized by the five major sects, and there was no other way than to work part-time in the academy to earn cultivation resources.
The Divine Spine Mountains, the Southern Wilderness, and the East Pole are rich in resources, but they are all dangerous places, and there are many giant demons and evil cultivators.
Although there are also many casual cultivators who have successfully built a foundation in dangerous places, Xiao Tianyun does not want to pin his future on the ethereal opportunity, but seeks a more secure way.
Saving money to buy Zhuji Dan is more like a luxury, this kind of pill is in the hands of the big sects, and occasionally one of them falls on the market, and it will be competed for by the major wealthy chaebols, and these poor ghosts don't even have the qualifications to take a look.
Joining Tianxing City is the best way out, although he is not a disciple of Tianxing, but he can do things under the Tianxing Sect, and he can make a contribution one day, and he can join the sect exceptionally!
...... ......
The Wang family is strong and powerful in Tengshan Chongcai, and has a wide range of travel, and has a friendship with the post station and horse shop near the official road, and changes horses along the way, and gallops with all their strength for six hours, and rushes to Tengshan Chong County.
The night is deep, cold and moonless, under the dark night, only a few torches are sporadically inserted on the head of Tengshan Chongcheng, which is blown by the whistling cold wind, and the hunting sounds.
"Whoever comes, report the name!"
The night watchman Ding on the city wall of Tengshan Chong leaned over, holding a tasseled gun, rubbing his cold hands, looking at the approaching carriage and shouting loudly.
"Phew!"
The carriage slowly stopped by the moat, and a blazing torch was inserted in the front and back on either side of the carriage, illuminating the city gate and bridge holes.
The coachman raised his horsewhip and shouted at the city tower: "Wang Dafu, the eldest prince of the Wang family, has come back with the immortal master of the Wuyang Alliance Academy to eliminate the demons, open the city gate quickly!"
When Wang Dafu heard this, he opened the curtain and leaned out half of his body, and the soldiers guarding the city carefully identified it by the light of the fire, and hurriedly put down the drawbridge and opened the city gate.
The carriage drove across the drawbridge and through the doorway into the city, and a strong smell of blood came to the face.
The carriage was relatively closed, and the air was already turbid, and the smell of blood was even more unpleasant.
Mei Daojia lifted the curtains, the cold wind blew into the car through the window, and the temperature of the warm car dropped a lot in an instant, although the turbidity was blown away, but the smell of blood was stronger.
Mei Daojia shuddered, shrunk her neck, shook her body to adapt to the cold, and looked out with a curious probe.
In a clearing under the corner of the city wall, there were more than a dozen corpses covered with white cloth or straw mats, the soil on the ground soaked with blood, slightly blackened, and smelling of choking blood.
Some family members, dressed in sackcloth and white silk, knelt on the ground, sobbing in low voices and looking sad, throwing paper money into the brazier from time to time.
Wang Dafu stood on the car, looking at the tragic situation in front of him, his face was solemn, he frowned, and beckoned to the night patrol soldiers who were hiding in the doorway not far away to avoid the wind and steal, and the night patrol soldiers quickly ran to the carriage.
"What's going on?"
"Back to Wang Gongzi, it's not the pig demon who made trouble, most of the deceased, their families have been carried home, these people who don't have coffins will be mourned on the spot, and they will be disposed of tomorrow when the coffins are placed!"
The Wang family is a well-known wealthy man in Tengshan Chong, and has a deep friendship with local officials, and Wang Dafu is also an immortal cultivator.
"The pig demon has not appeared in the past few days, and everyone thought that it had gone to other places to forage for food, so they relaxed their vigilance!"
"This evening, the sky has just darkened, and the captain of the city gate saw that the pig demon had disappeared for several days, and announced that the city gate would be closed at two quarters of an hour in the evening, and the traders in the market outside the city also wanted to take advantage of this short time to dispose of the backlog of goods due to the pig demon for several days as soon as possible. ”
"Who would have thought, in this short period of two quarters of an hour, the pig demon came out of nowhere through the dim light, and rushed directly to the crowd of people who were doing business, alas, didn't you see it, it was miserable at that time......"
The night watchman was articulate and spoke vividly, and explained the matter clearly in three or two sentences.
The stakes were so important that everyone didn't dare to slack off, Wang Dafu jumped out of the carriage, Mei Daojia and others followed, standing next to the car in a row.
"Go on. Wang Dafu said.
The night watchman was not frightened, and gave everyone a salute, and then said: "After the pig demon scourge the people in the market, he still wants to storm the city gate, Captain Hu saw that the situation was urgent, and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed and the suspension bridge was raised, and the pig demon was shot with the city crossbow machine, and the pig demon wandered outside the city but could not enter the city, and did not want to be beaten in vain, so he retreated into the mountain. ”
"Is the pig demon hurt?"
Xiao Tianyun was very concerned about this, if the pig demon was injured before they could fight, it would definitely be good news for them.
"It should ...... It's not hurt!" The soldier frowned and scratched his head in a slightly embarrassed way.
"Should?"
The soldier was hesitant and couldn't speak clearly, Xiao Tianyun was dissatisfied in his heart, his face was grim, and he glanced at Wang Dafu coldly.
