Chapter 72: Murder
Hearing that Xu Xian had something to do, He Liang originally wanted to go with him, but Xu Xian said that there was no need, it was better not to let He Liang get involved in these things.
He Liang saw that it was still early, and even if there were monsters, he wouldn't dare to come out and harm people, so he didn't insist.
However, before leaving, he couldn't help but nag a few words, and told Xu Xian to go back to the academy as soon as possible after finishing his errands, not to stay outside alone for too long, let alone go to remote places, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
Xu Xian smiled and agreed, and He Liang returned to the academy alone.
Xu Xian of Hangzhou City was already very familiar, and he walked towards the place where Xin Shisi Niang's soup soup was made on weekdays, and the city wall of Nanguo.
In fact, in the past month of studying in Hangzhou, Xu Xian has already gone to Xin Shiniang once, but last time it was unfortunate that Xin Shisi Niang was not there, so he couldn't meet him.
This time, luck was good.
Before entering the city wall, I saw many refugees waiting in line for help from a distance, and at the end of the line, Xin Shi Niang, who was wearing a red dress like a fairy, was still eye-catching.
Xu Xian walked in, Xin Shi Niang immediately sensed it, and after nodding slightly to say hello, she continued to work. Her personality is just like her whole temperament, she doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, and she rarely shows rich expressions to familiar or unfamiliar people.
Xu Xian was not in a hurry, and waited quietly for her to finish her work.
This time, there are significantly more refugees waiting in line for help than they did two months ago.
Some time ago, it rained heavily for several days, and a county within the jurisdiction of Hangzhou Prefecture was seriously affected by flooding, not only the fertile land was destroyed, but even many houses were washed back, and the people were displaced, so the number of refugees in Hangzhou Prefecture increased significantly.
In recent years, although there has been no major chaos in the Dali Dynasty on the whole, natural and man-made disasters have never stopped, and the signs are very bad.
didn't let Xu Xian wait too long, and after a while, Xin Shisi Niang finished distributing the porridge and steamed buns, and the refugee beggars gratefully held the bowl and went out to eat at the root of the city wall.
"When will Gongzi Xu return to Hangzhou?" Xin Shi Niang saluted and asked.
"I came back more than a month ago, and now I am studying at Hangzhou Academy. I came to see you once, but unfortunately, you weren't there at the time. Xu Xian replied.
Xin Shi Niang was very helpless when she heard this.
There have been too many refugees in recent times, in fact, the situation of these refugees in Hangzhou is already relatively good, at least they have entered the city, they can beg, occasionally meet well-meaning rich people for relief, and sometimes the government will also take action.
But outside of Hangzhou, the situation in some of the surrounding villages is even more difficult than that of these refugees, so Xin Shiniang sometimes does good deeds in other places.
Xu Xian also sighed with emotion in his heart when he heard this, this flood was nothing compared to the vast territory of the Dali Dynasty, but the disaster relief was very difficult to implement, and the court did not do much. I don't know if it's a problem with the central court or a problem with local officials.
It's a pity that Xu Xian is powerless, and now he can't manage these problems.
He is just a child now, and he is soft-spoken, even if he is talented, he can only be good for himself for the time being, and he can't help the world at the same time.
The two talked about the situation of the victims, and Xu Xiancai talked about the main purpose of this visit, and asked Xin Shiniang if she knew about the recent monster killing incident in Hangzhou.
"There are jackal demons harming people again? And it's still in Hangzhou City, this can't be, right?"
Xin Shi Niang didn't know about this matter, but she had the same opinion as Xu Xian, and felt that with the cunning of the jackal demon, it was unlikely that she would take such a risk.
She frowned and shook her head, "Moreover, that Yan Daochang has not left since he came to Hangzhou Mansion. Although he rarely showed up during this time, he was quite ruthless every time he made a move, and most of the goblins and ghosts near Hangzhou City fled when they heard the news, or hid deeply, who would dare to make trouble in the city?"
Both of them were puzzled by this and didn't understand what was going on.
However, both of them have a hunch in their hearts, I am afraid that this matter will not be simple, if it is really a jackal demon to cause trouble, the two of them may end up in it. After all, when they killed the jackal demon in the first place, both of them were involved.
......
......
Garrison House.
There were only two people in the secret room, Chu Banshan and Yan Daochang.
Yan Daochang didn't help Chu Banshan cultivate at this time, the Yin God of the Jackal Demon had been completely imprisoned in Chu Banshan's body, and had begun to fuse, and his secret method was considered a success.
However, at this time he was not so happy, but a little dissatisfied.
Although the secret method succeeded, it was not exactly what he imagined.
In just two months, Chu Banshan went from an ordinary person to a Yin God Realm monk with powerful mana in an instant, completely possessing the power of the Jackal Demon, but after such rapid progress, there were sequelae.
The Jackal Demon Yin God is considered to have been destroyed, but its murderous and brutal nature is indelible, and it constantly affects this Chu Banshan, making Chu Banshan often even uncontrollable, miserable, and even has to drink human blood to curb the pain!
Recently, there have been several monster incidents in Hangzhou City, but in fact, the culprit is Chu Banshan!
In this regard, Yan Daochang wanted to stop it, but there was really no good way. He didn't want his years of research to be ruined by just giving up.
As for Chu Banshan himself, he finally had the powerful ability he had dreamed of, and when the Jackal Demon Yin God was absorbed by him, he was ecstatic in his heart, feeling that the hardships he had endured in the past two months were worth it, and finally the bitterness was over!
But when the murderous nature of the jackal demon blinded his mind and made him almost turn into a demon to harm people, he was also really afraid.
It is true that he bullies men and women on weekdays and is arrogant, but he is not a murderous person and will not take pleasure in killing. He's killed people, but he's never killed anyone with his own hands, and he doesn't want to become a monster himself.
So, he panicked.
He wants to have great strength, but what is the point of losing his mind if this kind of price is to become a monster who is not human and demon, and loses his mind? How can he go out and show his strength openly and openly like the world? In this way, he will not have a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
In the past few days, Chu Banshan has been pestering Yan Daochang to help him resolve his ferocity, if he really can't resolve it, he even wants Yan Daochang to extract the Yin God of the jackal demon in his body. He didn't want to go out and kill people and drink human blood anymore.
It's a pity that Daoist Yan replied to him that there was no turning arrow when he opened the bow, and it was impossible for the Yin God of the Jackal Demon to pull it out.
As for how to help him eliminate the Jackal Demon's murderous and brutal nature, he will find another way.
"Dao Chief, have you figured out a way......? I can't help myself again!"
In the secret room, Chu Banshan's face was hideous, his eyes were full of blood, and his murderous aura was awe-inspiring, and his hands kept waving like wolf claws, leaving deep scratches on the wall.
Yan Daochang let out a low snort and shot a mana into his body, temporarily relieving his killing intent, and then slowly said in a deep voice: "There is a way, maybe you can try!"
Chu Banshan hurriedly asked, "What's the way?"
Yan Daochang didn't explain directly, but asked rhetorically: "Your hateful enemy, isn't there a fox spirit?"
