This northern land is vast and sparsely populated, Kong Rui is always easy to attract the attention of others when he walks alone in the wilderness, he thinks that he still needs to be in a place with relatively some people to be more convenient to walk; and he hid in the wilderness for more than four months, although he couldn't stay in that area any longer, but it was just an accident, not that the Monkey people found him for the purpose of chasing and killing, so Kong Rui was also a little slack, just be careful not to reveal his identity as a cultivator; the most important thing is that Kong Rui knew that since the Monkey people had already started a war with the Ah Simi Country, he also wanted to go to a relatively large city to see if there were any changes in the Monkey people。 The nearest big city to him is Matsuhama Castle, the capital of Bingjiang Prefecture.

After another two days, Kong Rui finally walked to Matsuhama City.

Matsuhama Castle is the second largest city in the forty-eight counties of the six states in the north, after falling into the hands of the Rogue, the Warriors also take it as a key city, and there are many military and political facilities are also located here; and Matsuhama Castle is a city without walls, and because it is very close to the Rus' country, many Rus' people fled during the early Rus' civil strife, so there are also many descendants of the Rus people in this Songhama City, and there are often some conflicts with others, fights and killings occur from time to time, and it is also a place where dragons and snakes are mixed.

Kong Rui didn't have a clear destination, and after walking south on the street for a while, he saw that the sun had set in the west, so he randomly found an ordinary inn on the side of the street and lived in. Although the guy at the inn was only in his twenties, he looked very thin, and when he saw Kong Rui coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "The guest officer, please!" Kong Rui asked for an upper room, and the shopkeeper hurriedly asked the guy to take Kong Rui upstairs to the room.

Kong Rui entered the room, took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the table, and said to the man, "Bring me two specialty dishes to the room." ”

The guy hurriedly reported the names of a few dishes, and Kong Rui ordered two dishes at random: "Tell the kitchen to hurry up, and the rest of the silver will be used as a reward." "He wants to sleep in the open these days, and rest early after eating.

The guy saw that the money was open, but he thought that Kong Rui might be going out for a walk after eating as soon as possible, and saw that Kong Rui had given a lot of rewards, so he hurriedly stepped forward and took the silver, pretending to whisper to Kong Rui mysteriously: "The guest officer must not go out after eating, there are often disappearances of young and middle-aged people from other places here, especially if you are strong and strong like the guest officer, it is more likely to have accidents." ”

"Why is this? How can it be that a strong young adult is more likely to have an accident?" Kong Rui suddenly became interested, so he asked the man.

The guy said: "I don't know about this, guest officer, you look at me weak, but it's still very good." I once encountered this strange thing at night, and once, when I came back from outside at night, I met two men in black who could fly, and flew over my head, probably because I was too thin, so they ignored me, and flew directly to the front and put a very strong young man who was walking in front of me into a bag, and then the bag disappeared, and then both of them flew away. I was so frightened that I came back and fell seriously ill. As he spoke, the guy still had a palpitating look on his face.

As soon as Kong Rui heard him say this, he immediately guessed that the flying man in black was most likely the late-stage demon cultivator of the Evil People, but they were usually ruthless and murderous, but why did they just kidnap those strong young and middle-aged people?

The man snorted and said, "Don't expect those bastards to be scheming, maybe they are the ones who make trouble, they never care about this kind of thing." The locals know these things, but they are suffering from the outsiders. "The guy saw that Kong Rui was a hunter from the countryside or something, so naturally he dared to scold the scheming people.

"Have you heard anything most suspicious about such strange things?" Kong Rui asked again.

"I don't know about this, I've heard that sometimes people disappear inexplicably during the day, and the guest officer is just very careful. "Dude.

Kong Rui nodded and thanked the man, and let him go to prepare dinner.

As soon as he heard that there were demon cultivators of the Yakini people, Kong Rui had murderous intentions, anyway, it was less than two months away from his exile period now, even if he was exposed, judging from his experience of getting rid of the tracking of the Yakini people many times, they might not be able to find themselves, and this is the so-called Yingguan Country after all, most of the spirit masters of the Yakini people are in the territory of the Yakin Country or the Great Yan Country, even if they come, it will be at least a day's work, and by then they have already run away to the unknown where, so they decided to search for these demon cultivators and see what they are doing。

After dinner, Kong Rui had a good night's rest, and then he planned how to track down the whereabouts of these demon cultivators. The hunters in the countryside usually come to the city in the morning, go back at noon, and rush home in the afternoon, while the merchants from other places basically go into the city at night, stay in the city for the night, and then go about their own business the next day.

Thinking of this, Kong Rui walked around the nearby intersection, saw the terrain, and prepared to act the next day.

Kong Rui naturally didn't want to be caught by the scrubbers and put in a storage bag, so he pretended to be a rickety old man, and sat in front of a remote house early in the morning and pretended to bask in the sun.

After more than an hour, Kong Rui knew that it should be the time for some hunters in the countryside to enter the city, so he paid special attention to any movement nearby.

Who knows, Kong Rui waited there for a long time and didn't see a lone pedestrian walk by, everyone seemed to know that it was much more dangerous to act alone, and they all walked together with each other, presumably those demon cultivators didn't find a chance to start, and they couldn't kill indiscriminately on the edge of the city, so they had to give up, and Kong Rui naturally didn't wait for any opportunity.

At night, Kong Rui pretended to be a rickety beggar again, pretending to sleep on the streets, and saw people coming and going, but they were all in groups, and he didn't see those demon cultivators appear.

For a few days in a row, Kong Rui had no gains, so he couldn't help but be a little discouraged, thinking if this kind of thing happened rarely and accidentally, or if his own method was wrong, so he didn't even see the shadow of the demon cultivator for so many days.

And now it is the season when the snow is beginning to melt and the roads are the same, many hunters from the countryside and merchants from other places are concentrating on Matsuhama City, and those who are around Matsuhama City to catch young and middle-aged people are quite frequent, and they are not afraid of anything in the daytime, but they only start to catch people in places where there are few people. As a result, since many outsiders also knew that it was not safe to act alone, most of them traveled in groups, and these demon cultivators gained very little, so some demon cultivators couldn't help but complain.

Kong Rui's luck was also good, and that night, when he was curled up in a corner disguised as a beggar, two people were whispering not far from him. Although Kong Rui didn't dare to release his divine sense to investigate, his ears were strong enough to hear the conversation between the two.

I only heard one person: "Senior brother, our brothers haven't opened for a few days, and if we don't get anything today, it's not easy to go back." ”

Another said: "I heard my senior brother tell me before, this is originally a kind of training for us, we must be patient, and we must obey orders, so I think even if there is still no gain today, as long as it can be explained, there should still be nothing above." ”

"Alas, that's all it can be, but when I go back, I have to be punished to transport corpses, and I don't feel comfortable seeing those corpses. ”

"Forget it, don't think about it, we didn't complete the task, so we should be punished. Let's go, it's time for us to go back. With that, the two of them drove the clouds south.

Kong Rui listened to their conversation, and saw the two of them drive the clouds away, so he knew that they should be the demon cultivators who were scheming, and what kind of training they were doing.
