Chapter 149: The Missing Child
When Black Eagle returned to Black Rock City with the news, the first person to reply was not his master, but fell leisurely on Meng Fusang's arm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yongyi Zhenjun's handling is not satisfactory, otherwise, he really doesn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
The black eagle called twice, as if urging something, Meng Fusang bent his lips and chuckled, his fingertips picked, and two blood beads appeared on his fingertips in an instant, Meng Fusang fed the blood beads to the black eagle's mouth, and the black eagle licked it clean without a drop, and finally flew away satisfied.
After waiting for five days, Mu Changning's cultivation was almost complete, and he was quite surprised to hear Meng Fusang talk about the follow-up of this matter.
Tao Ze dared to play yin in secret, and he was indeed innocent, but it was unexpected that Yongyi Zhenjun could ruthlessly eliminate all of them, especially Tao Zhixin was also among them.
To be honest, Mu Changning admitted that he had never taken the initiative to provoke Tao Zhixin, but unfortunately this person seemed to be tired of making trouble with her.
Tao Zhixin is a disciple of the Xinjue True Monarch of the Formation Peak on the one hand, and an elite disciple of the Tao family of the Royal Beast Peak on the other hand, and there are two peak masters to support her, and no one says a word about her when she wants to walk sideways in the sect.
Now that there is less maintenance of the Tao family, Tao Zhixin has failed to build the foundation several times, whether it will have an impact, think about it with your toes.
Mu Changning remembered Meng Fusang's previous promise, and said suspiciously: "What has Senior Brother Meng done?"
He shrugged his shoulders and blinked, "It's a secret. ”
"......" doesn't say it, in short, it gets rid of a trouble.
After being delayed for more than ten days before and after the City Lord's Mansion, Mu Changning was about to say goodbye, and Qiu City Lord appeared in front of the two with a smile on his face, looking at the smile that he couldn't hide from the corners of his eyebrows, it was estimated that Qiu Ziyi's physical condition had improved greatly.
"The two little friends are leaving?"
Mu Changning nodded and said, "This time I also came out to practice, it's time to go around other places." ”
The city lord of Qiu knew this, and beckoned Pink Butterfly to bring a tray over, on which was a jade bottle, as well as five pieces of pale yellow crystal clear and fragrant resin.
"What is in the jade bottle is beast blood, and Qiong resin is rare, and there are only so many that have been mobilized from the Shenzhou Branch, so I will practice it for the two little friends. ”
Mu Changning said in his heart that this hatred of the city lord is really generous, but he will never take this thing in his eyes, so he accepted it unceremoniously, "Thank you for the city lord's hospitality these days." ”
"You're welcome. The Qiu City Lord seemed to be in a very good mood, glanced at Meng Fusang lightly, looked at Mu Changning again, and said: "This seat is very close to the two little friends, and I believe that there will be a chance to meet again in the future." ”
Not to mention, if Su Neyan really broke through the gods, he thought that the Cangtong faction would definitely hold a ceremony for him, and the guests would come from all directions, and if he was free, he would also participate.
Mu Changning nodded with a faint smile, and politely declined the Feiyun Boat ticket offered by the city lord to fly directly to Daze.
Although their destination is Osawa, they are not only going to Osawa, and there are many scenery to see along the way.
In this way, Mu Changning drove all the way south.
According to their speed, if they fly non-stop, it will take more than a month to reach the territory of Daze, not to mention that the two of them will stop and stop, encounter interesting cities, and stop to take a stroll and replenish supplies, and the journey is much slower.
Of course, when you go out, you will inevitably rob money halfway, but with Meng Fusang, a reliable partner, the two of them work together, even if they don't use these things like bloodthirsty vines and big mouths, those people basically can't help them.
Moreover, Meng Fusang's knowledge is also extensive, especially in all kinds of demon beasts, he knows a lot, Mu Changning often asks him for advice, and he is not bored at all along the way.
After flying like this for three months, it is almost in the territory of Daze.
On this day, Mu Changning refined two more furnaces of pills and filled a few bottles for Meng Fusang, "Daze is a swampy wetland, there are often miasma, snakes, insects, rats and ants, and all kinds of poisonous plants. ”
Meng Fusang put it into the storage bag, and seeing that she didn't seem to leave a little for herself, she said curiously: "Why doesn't Senior Sister Mu prepare a few bottles for herself?"
Mu Changning was stunned, and said with a sneer: "I still have it." ”
In fact, those poisons were useless to her at all, and her own physique was invincible to poison, and she couldn't use those pills.
Da Hei lay beside her, rubbing her with that single horn, the palm-sized foraging ant lying on its head, Meng Fusang named it Hongyu, the big and the small stared at her, Mu Changning said helplessly: "You take the pill too often, you have to take it slowly." ”
Da Hei lowered his head with a "whoosh", and Hongyu also drooped down his tentacles and lay on top of his head.
Mu Changning only felt funny, and immediately remembered his spirit beast.
In the past, Thunderbolt didn't like to stay in the spirit beast bag, preferring to come out to bask in the sun, but since it came out of Black Rock City, it has been drilling into the spirit beast bag all the time, refusing to come out, and I don't know what kind of temper it is making.
Mu Changning saw a big mountain in the distance from afar, according to the map, this mountain is called Dawan Mountain because it resembles an inverted big bowl, after the big bowl mountain, and then fly on the two days, it is the Daze range.
There is a town at the foot of Dawan Mountain, named Xingping Town, Mu Changning was thinking about whether to rest in Xingping Town, but saw a beam of spiritual light enveloping the entire Xingping Town, rising to the sky, after the spiritual light dissipated, a huge shield was like an inverted bowl, covering the entire Xingping Town, and the shield fluctuated twice, and then disappeared into invisibility.
Mu Changning and Meng Fusang got up and looked at it from afar, she frowned and said, "It's a formation, someone has set up a formation in the entire Xingping Town." ”
"What formation?" Meng Fusang asked.
Mu Changning shook his head, "You have to feel it up close to know it, but the light just now is very soft, it shouldn't be a killing formation, nor a trapped phantom formation." ”
The two looked at each other and decided to find out.
Xingping Town is an ordinary mortal town, and the spiritual energy in this vicinity is thin, even if there are monks with spiritual roots, they generally do not stay here to cultivate, and only then do they see that burst of spiritual light, presumably it must have been done by foreign monks.
After the two of them got off the cloud boat, Mu Changning studied the ground, there was not the slightest trace of formation on it, if it wasn't for the spiritual light just now, Mu Changning wouldn't have noticed that someone had set up a formation here, and after feeling it carefully, her face suddenly became a little strange.
"What's wrong, what's wrong with this formation?"
Mu Changning was silent and said: "There is no problem, this formation is actually an isolation formation, but it is not people who are isolated, but goblins and ghosts, as long as you feel a trace of demonic energy, the formation will start on its own." ”
Meng Fusang raised his eyebrows, "So, you mean, there are monsters here." ”
Demon beasts also have to cultivate, so their territory is generally selected in a place with a strong aura, like this remote mortal town, if it is not passing by, the demon beasts are too lazy to come here.
"The formation skills of this array person are very good, and they have surrounded the whole city, I'm afraid this monster who is making trouble is not simple. Mu Changning came to this conclusion.
Meng Fusang became interested, "Go and see?"
Mu Changning has this intention.
When the two arrived at the gate of the town, they found that the supervision here was quite strict, and there was an octagonal mirror hanging on the town gate, Meng Fusang raised his head and looked at the mirror, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Xuantian Eight Treasure Mirror?
Mu Changning has also heard of the Xuantian Eight Treasure Mirror, perhaps it is more appropriate to use another name to describe it, looking at the demon mirror, the monster has to show its original form under it.
The formation just now, as well as this demon mirror, it seems that this "demon hunter" has a lot of money!
Meng Fusang smiled and said, "Although the Xuantian Eight Treasure Mirror is good, it is useless to meet an old goblin who knows how to collect breath with profound Taoism. ”
The Isolation Array is the first line of defense, and the Xuantian Eight Treasure Mirror is the second line of defense, in order to prevent the monsters from infiltrating the city in human form.
In fact, demon beasts can only transform into the eighth order, and there are some special demon beasts that can transform into human form in advance, and there are also those like Black Eagle who benefit from the Transformation Pill, and a very small number of them can be born and transform.
If this evil goblin can really turn into a human form, it is very likely that his strength is not bad, if this is the case, what can the little Xuantian Eight Treasure Mirror do?
Should this monster hunter be too innocent, or should he be confused?
Guarding the town were two young and strong young men, and they saw from a distance that they had come down from a large ship flying in the sky, and their eyes were immediately round, vigilant and vigilant, but there was a faint expectation of some emotion.
But seeing that they did not change in the slightest under the demon mirror, the town keeper breathed a sigh of relief, and one of the black young men asked with bright eyes, "Are the two of you also immortal elders?"
Mu Changning raised his eyebrows, "Immortal Chief?"
The young man nodded, "A few immortal chiefs came yesterday, just like the two of them, they all came on a big flying boat, and several immortal elders have promised to help us catch demons, are the two of them together?"
As soon as they said this, they understood, and sure enough, there were monsters to haunt them, and then a few monks who passed by saw the injustice and drew their swords to help.
"Sort of. Mu Changning smiled and said, "Is something happening here?"
She looked into the city, it was nearly dusk, and it was supposed to be the time when the lights were noisy and lively, but there were few pedestrians on the streets, and there was a dead silence. Combined with the monster that is haunting, it can be understood.
Speaking of this incident, the two young men sighed for a long time, and the black young man said: "This incident has happened for more than a month, and the babies under the age of three in our city have disappeared one by one, and they all fell asleep in the room that night, but when they woke up the next morning, they saw no one, and the parents of the children were going crazy. ”
Another tall and thin young man also continued: "The people in the city suspect that it is a demon and a monster, and they have spent a lot of money to buy rune paper to stick in front of the door, and there are babies in the house, and there are people who guard them when they sleep at night, but Rao is so, and the next morning, the night watchman fell asleep, and the child was gone." ”
"It's been more than a month, and every night a child goes missing, and people in the city are panicking. ”
"I invited the old Taoist priest to do it, but it didn't have any effect. ”
The two of you said a word, and told me the general thing, Mu Changning pondered, what only catches children and not adults? Is it really a monster, or is it artificial?
After all, there are some evil cultivators, and they also like to catch children and practice evil skills.
"Senior Brother Meng, what do you think?" If it was really a demon's doing, then Meng Fusang knew a lot more than her.
Meng Fusang shook his head and said, "I'm not sure." ”
The two of them were thinking about it, and one of them came over from a distance and shouted, "Hey, it's getting dark, close the town gate!"
Hearing this, the two young men hurriedly closed the town gate, and Mu Changning looked over, the one who shouted was a Qi refining cultivator, needless to say, it must be one of the people who came yesterday.
When the Qi Refining Cultivator saw that Mu Changning and the others were also monks, he was immediately startled, pointed at them "you" for a long time, and hurriedly turned around and ran, as if there was some flood beast chasing behind him.
Mu Changning was speechless, touched his face and said, "Do we look terrible?"
The Qi Refining Cultivator went straight to a large inn, ran upstairs, stood in front of the largest room, and gasped a few times.
The room was brightly lit, and the Qi Refining Cultivator rushed in the door and shouted, "Thirteen Shao, it's not good!"
The man in white, who was called the thirteenth young man, was lying on the beauty couch on his side, and two beautiful and identical-looking Qi refining female cultivators accompanied him on the left and right, one peeling crystal grapes, and the other handing over wine and delicacies.
The Qi refining monk was so babbling, the thirteen young people sprayed a sip of wine directly on the purple-clothed female cultivator, the purple-clothed female cultivator screamed, her face was full of anger, and the thirteen young people coaxed: "Jiaojiao, this young man will help you punish him!"
As he spoke, a bundle of immortal ropes flew out of his cuffs, tying the Qi Refining Cultivator tightly.
"What kind of body is it that is shouting!" The middle-aged Zhuji male cultivator behind the thirteenth young man scolded.
The Qi Refining Cultivator was strangled with pain all over his body, and his mouth was guilty, but he still hurriedly said: "Thirteen Shao, the younger one just saw a man and a woman at the gate of the town, both of them are monks, they should both have foundation building cultivation, could it be that they are also coming for that monster?"
"What?"
Thirteen Shao jumped up when he heard this, "Where did you come from, dare to rob Ben Shao's prey!" His face sank, loosened the tie of the Qi refining cultivator, and said angrily: "Lead the way, Ben Shao will meet them!"
"Thirteen young men!" the purple-clothed nun called Jiaojiao had a sparkle in her eyes, "Jiaojiao also wants to go." ”
When the red-clothed nun heard this, she said in a flattering voice: "Qianqian also wants to go and admire the heroic appearance of the thirteen young men. ”
Thirteen Shao laughed, "Okay, look at how Ben Shao cleans them up!"
Mu Changning and Meng Fusang were wandering the streets of the city, at this time, all the shops were closed, there were still few lights on in every house, the night was getting thicker, the cold wind was blowing, and the streets were surprisingly quiet.
Mu Changning's eyebrows were lightly raised, and he suddenly flashed sideways, dodging a subtle aura attack.
The aura attack was as thin as a needle, urgent and fierce, formless and phaseless, if she hadn't been paying careful attention to the movements around her, she would probably have been hit.
Meng Fusang stretched out his hand, and the lanterns on both sides lit up in an instant, but there was no one on the empty street.
"Who is sneaky, come out!" (To be continued.) )
