The master and apprentice finally came to the foot of Yunshan, and a large group of villagers stood at the entrance of the village under the leadership of the old village elder Zhang Tou, and the villagers were very enthusiastic and simple, and they came forward to call "Guo Daochang", and by the way, Li Yi also mixed up the title of "Little Li Daochang".

Guo Bushou smiled, put his hands behind his back, nodded to the villagers who were making a gesture to him one by one, met the old man, and even stepped forward to greet a few words cordially.

The villagers talked about the demon encounter in the village:

It turned out that two months ago, there were some cattle and sheep lost in the village one after another, and the villagers didn't care much at first, when the beasts in the mountains were bitten, only to strengthen the precautions of some cattle pens and sheepfolds, but things still happened again and again, the villagers organized people to squat at the vigil, wanting to get rid of the beasts, but the beast seemed to know the movements of the villagers, the villagers squatted at the vigil, it did not come, and when the villagers relaxed, it came.

This was repeated several times, and just as the villagers were considering whether to ask Guo Bushou to come down and help, a woodcutter who went up the mountain to chop wood found the remains of those lost animals near Bibo Pond, and the remains of those animals had no other injuries except for two blood holes in their necks, that is, those animals were actually sucked to death.

The beasts took away the cattle and sheep in search of food, and would never only drink blood, so the villagers panicked and hurriedly asked Guo Bushou to go down the mountain to get rid of the demon.

Guo Bushou listened quietly to the villagers, stroked his beard and groaned for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Does that monster hurt people?"

"That's not true, but the monster still has some conscience. Lao Zhangtou shook his head, looking distressed, Lao Zhangtou lost an old scalper who had been with him for more than ten years this time.

..............................

Guo Bushou has lived on Yunshan for decades, but he knows where Bibotan is, so he doesn't need the villagers to lead the way. After walking for a while, Guo Bushou suddenly said to Li Yi: "Apprentice, if something happens to you, you must not leave as a teacher." ”

Li Yi saw Guo Bushou's solemn expression, and exclaimed: "Master, the monster is very good, can't even you deal with it?"

"It's not that you can't deal with it for the teacher, in this world, there are not many monsters that you can't deal with for the teacher. Guo Bushou glared at Li Yi and snorted: "It's because there is more of a burden to you around the teacher, and I am afraid that you will get in the way when the time comes!"

The master scolded the apprentice, and it was really a natural scolding, Li Yi was bored with himself, and he didn't speak.

Guo Bushou won Li Yi in a rare verbal battle, and was very proud, and asked Li Yi like a evidence: "Apprentice, you came from the village with your teacher today, what can you understand from the accounts of those villagers?"

Li Yi slowly replayed the words of those villagers, and suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in his head, and he suddenly realized: "Master, that monster only hunts horses, cows, and sheep, but not chickens, dogs, and pigs, could it be that this monster also has faith?"

It turned out that Li Yi thought that the lost things in the mouths of the villagers were all horses, cows, and sheep, but not chickens, dogs, and pigs, and they were all the "six animals" in the mouth of the world, and it was impossible for the villagers to feed only three of them and not feed the other three, which was enough to prove that the monsters were selective.

In fact, Li Yi thought of the customs and habits of some ethnic minorities in later generations, because of the totem of faith or other reasons, those ethnic groups have some taboos that are different from those of the Han people, such as Tibetans do not eat dog meat because they believe in Tibetan Buddhism, and Uygurs do not eat pork because they believe in Islam, but today's Kyushu is very different from later generations.

"Well, it's good that the apprentice can think of this!" Guo Bushou nodded, his words were amazing, and said: "But it's not because of what faith you said, the world of demons and monsters is all about the jungle, and the winner is king, where can there be any faith?"

Guo Bushou continued: "Horses, cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, and pigs are all six animals, but they are also a little different. As far as the cultivators are concerned, the upper three grades of vegetarian food only eat natural herbs and trees, and their essence and blood are pure, and drinking them is very beneficial, while the lower three grades of meat and vegetables are all eaten, and their essence and blood are not pure, and drinking them is not beneficial in the slightest. ”

Li Yi was puzzled: "Could it be that the one who came to the village this time is a cultivator?"

"Although the blood of horses, cows, and sheep is good, it is only the blood of mortal things after all, and for the Terran cultivators who are the elders of all spirits, its effect is far inferior to those Qihua Yao grass and elixirs, otherwise, cultivators don't need to cultivate hard, just get some horses, cows, and sheep everywhere to slaughter. Guo Bushou shook his head and said: "For those monsters who are in the same vein as horses, cows, and sheep, horses, cows, and sheep are fed by the human race, and they are stained with the masculinity of the human race. ”

"The monster can avoid the protection of the villagers, and the purposeful attack is enough to prove that this monster is not simple, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to deal with it!" Li Yi sighed, but he caught a glimpse of Guo Bushou's increasingly dark face, and hurriedly added: "Fortunately, there is a master with high skills, and his cultivation has reached the realm early, and this time it is just easy to take the demon, and it is a matter of catching it......

.................................

The more you go deeper into the mountains, the more you can hear the sound of "boom", and later, Li Yi only feels that the ground under his feet is like a galloping horse, all trembling and undulating, but Guo Bushou, who is leading the way, suddenly stopped, and quietly said to Li Yi: "It's here!"

A white waterfall hangs straight down from the mountains in front of it, like the water of the heavenly river, tumbling and pouring with an unstoppable momentum, splashing and splashing jade, shrouding the entire valley in a mist of water, and even the sunlight in the sky can barely shine in. The waterfall splits a pool of more than ten zhang square in the valley, and the water reflects the surrounding green mountains, showing a dark green, and the blue wave pool is also named after it.

According to what the woodcutter in the village said, the master and apprentice found the corpses of those animals not far from Bibo Pond, there were as many as six or seven bodies, and the feng shui at Bibo Pond was good, and the corpses of these animals did not rot after more than two months. What is even more strange is that the animals are lying there in a staggered manner, as if they have fallen asleep after eating enough food, and there is no sign of fear and struggle before death.

This scene is really inexplicably weird, and Li Yi's scalp is a little numb, and he clutches the iron sword in his hand tightly.

Guo Bushou frowned, didn't say a word, and came back to Bibotan with Li Yi, looking at the environment around Bibotan. At this time, it was already noon, and a breeze blew, rolling the mist in the air and swaying, mixed with a faint smell of blood.

The six senses of a cultivator (note: eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, consciousness) are far more sensitive than ordinary people, and this smell of blood is completely different from the smell of the blood of the dead animals before, but it is wrapped in a faint fragrance, which penetrates people's hearts.

The master and apprentice looked in the direction from which the smell of blood came, but there were some rocks in the cliffs on the blue pool, almost bare except for a little moss.

Guo Bushou suddenly shouted, pulled out the Yunmeng Sword with one hand, lifted Li Yi with the other, and looked at the cliff next to the waterfall to fly away. Walking in the air, Guo Bushou shook the Yunmeng sword in his hand, and slashed it on the cliff, and the sword qi passed through, only to see a boulder rolling down in the blue wave pool, and with a "boom" sound, splashing in all directions.

A space for the two of them to stand on the cliff was exposed, Guo Bushou and Li Yi fell, raised his eyes, nodded, and said, "I see!"

There was a small stone crevice between the cliffs, and in the middle of the small stone crevice was a small blood-red vine, the small cane was divided into three sections, and there were seven verdant leaves growing on it, and the smell of blood was emitted by this small vine.

Li Yiqi said: "Master, what kind of grass is this?"

"This grass is called blood notoginseng, although it is not as precious as those thousand-year-old ginseng and iceberg snow lotus, but it is also a rare medicine in the world!" Guo Bushou said: ""Shennong's Materia Medica" has clouds: Panax notoginseng can pass through the meridians and activate the veins, stop bleeding and disperse stasis. Blood notoginseng its seedlings are like cui, in fact, like blood, it is the king of notoginseng, but all those who are injured in the meridians, all are cured, blood notoginseng is born in the dark and damp place on the stone wall, secretly in line with the way of heaven and earth yin and yang, every three years to give birth to a leaf, every seven years to grow a stem, need to live three seven twenty-one years, can become its effect. ”

"This blood notoginseng has seven leaves and three stems, and the smell of blood is permeated, I'm afraid it's not far from the maturity period!" Li Yi glanced at the blood notoginseng, and already grasped some veins in his head, and said: "Master, I'm afraid that the monster came here not to suck the blood of those animals, but for this blood notoginseng, well! That monster must be seriously injured, and needs this blood notoginseng to heal the wounds, so to speak, the things that the monster has done, although it is absurd and perverse, is not extremely vicious!"

"It is very rare for a disciple to be kind-hearted and to be able to experience that 'God has the virtue of a good life'. Guo Bushou patted Li Yi's shoulder with relief.

However, the two of them are now standing on the cliff of more than ten zhang only for standing, Li Yizhi felt that the blue waves and water were shaking in front of his eyes through those ethereal clouds and mist, and Li Yi, who had not yet learned the art of flying, suddenly felt a little dizzy, and his legs were weak.

"Master, let's go down and talk about it, right?" Li Yi took a deep breath and felt palpitations.
