Chapter Twenty-Six: Descending the Mountain and What I Learned(1/2)
Chen Siyu flew up unsteadily, but was only a few meters above the ground.
"Ouch!" Inadvertently, he fell off the sword and was covered in mud.
Chen Siyu did not believe in evil and wanted to continue trying, but found a dark cloud floating over his head and thunder rumbling.
"It seems that there was thunder the day my brother broke through before." Chen Siyu thought as he looked at the dark clouds above his head.
Just when he was about to accept the baptism of Thunder Tribulation, he saw Feng Youzui flying in from a distance at high speed. With a wave of his hand, it seemed that the entire Jianfeng shook, and the dark clouds seemed to have no target and dispersed after a while.
Already.
Immediately afterwards, Feng You drunkenly fell beside Chen Siyu.
He surrounded Chen Siyu with some surprise, as if he didn't expect that Chen Siyu had already reached the foundation building stage.
Chen Siyu used his magic power to clear away the mud, and then looked at Feng Youzui with a smile, as if waiting for him to praise himself.
Unexpectedly, when the other party opened his mouth, although he was praising him, it was not pleasant to hear.
"That's good. You've broken through to the foundation building stage in one month. It's really beyond my expectation. I thought it would take you a year to break through with your talent."
"..." Chen Siyu felt uncomfortable after hearing what the master said.
"Just in time, since you have broken through to the foundation building stage, you should go back to Quanlong City. Don't you still have a friend there? It's not safe to leave the beast egg there, so let's bring it back together."
Chen Siyu nodded. He had been away for a month and didn't know how Luo Ping'an was doing.
"By the way, since you're going, bring back some porcelain green wine from Quanlongcheng."
"Okay, master, you also know about my friend's situation. Is there any elixir that you can help him with?" Chen Siyu scratched his head in embarrassment. He had already taken a bunch of things from the master when he first started, and now he's asking for it.
He blushed.
"Here!" Feng Youzui thought for a while, then threw out a bottle of elixir, "This should be enough. It has the effect of restoring human flesh and white bones to ordinary people. It can also cleanse the marrow and cut the tendons for ordinary people."
Chen Siyu solemnly took the elixir with an excited expression, "Thank you, master!"
Feng Youzui didn't care, raised his sword and left.
After he left, Chen Siyu remembered that he had just forgotten to ask about his eldest brother and why everyone on Jianfeng had gone out.
The most important point is that he just wanted to ask how to control the flying sword!
Although I already have the method of wielding a sword in my mind, having it and learning it are two different things!
But in this case, Chen Siyu doesn't plan to ask anymore, and will just study it slowly by himself.
I just happened to go to a nearby town for a visit. It would definitely be impossible to return to Quanlong City to use my sword. It was too far and I would have to take the teleportation array.
As for why Feng You refused to sit down when he was drunk in the first place... it was purely because he didn't want to sit down. According to him, it was because Yu Jian was so handsome!
Chen Siyu followed the path down the mountain and came to the Jianzong stone tablet again.
"Where should we go? I heard Grandpa Bai say that there is a small town if you go south. Go and have a look first."
Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Siyu studied the technique of wielding a sword as he walked, flying unsteadily for a while, and then headed south.
…
…
…
In Yangsong Town, most of the people in the town are gathered in the square, densely packed and noisy.
I saw that the middle of the square was empty, and a simple platform was set up. On the platform, a man in ragged clothes and stained with blood was tied to a wooden stake.
Someone was vaguely heard discussing on the square: "I heard that people in our area have been dying unexpectedly recently because of this guy."
"He came to my restaurant for dinner a few days ago. He seemed quite normal." Someone replied.
"You're wrong. You know people but don't know their hearts! Some people may look like dogs on the outside, but they're actually full of evil on the inside."
"That's true. Then how was he caught?"
"Well, look at the immortal master standing next to her. She was the one who caught him. You didn't see the scene at that time..."
"Why is this immortal master still a little girl? Is he really so capable?" someone asked doubtfully.
"Shh! Don't talk nonsense, the immortal master has real skills."
"What are you capable of? Did you see her when she arrested someone?"
"...I didn't see this, but I heard it from Lao Wang next door."
"Did he see it with his own eyes?"
"That's not true...he also heard what the widow next door said."
"So no one has seen it with their own eyes? By the way, what is his relationship with the widow?"
"Hey! Why do you have so many problems!" The man turned around to see who was arguing with him.
I saw a man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes answering him while sticking his head and looking inside.
Seeing that the other party was a little unhappy, Chen Siyu said repeatedly: "Hey! Look, the immortal master has moved!"
The other party's attention instantly shifted to the stage and he turned his head to look over.
Chen Siyu murmured softly: "Don't let anyone talk anymore..."
"I want to see what's going on."
I saw everyone retreating wherever the female fairy passed by. She walked straight to the man and whispered a few words in his ear.
The man suddenly raised his head and let out an inhuman cry. His hands and feet were struggling, but he didn't care about the bleeding marks from being strangled, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
The female fairy took a step back and let him take a breath of air. Then she turned to face the townspeople and said in a light voice, "Don't panic, everyone. There have been so many things happening in your town recently, all because of this person. No, it should be said
This demon! It’s him who sucks the spirits of the townspeople in order to practice demon magic.”
"Fortunately, when I was passing by this place, I found that there was a strong evil spirit here, so I took action to stop him in time, thus averting a catastrophe."
"No wonder so many people have died recently! For example, the old Liutou from the town died peacefully at home two days ago. He must have been sucked dry by monsters."
"Let me tell you! Why did my husband-in-law disappear in the middle of the night two days ago? He must have been caught by a monster!"
"Yes, yes! I also heard strange noises coming from the widow's house next door two days ago. It must be a monster, but I am too timid to listen carefully."
Chen Siyu sneered and couldn't help but said: "Why do you blame other people for everything?"
The man then turned around and glared at him fiercely, "This little kid knows nothing. The immortal master has said it, so how can he still be lying?"
Chen Siyu remained silent, wanting to see what the so-called immortal master would say next.
"Quiet! Let Master Immortal finish his words." An old man came out and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
The old man seemed to have some authority and quickly became quiet.
The female immortal smiled with satisfaction and said, "He is a scorpion spirit practicing nearby and has been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years. If he continues to suck the townspeople's energy, I might not be able to deal with him."
"The Immortal Master is mighty!" Many townspeople shouted.
"But...I was also injured because of my dealing with this scorpion spirit. I hope I can use your place to recuperate for a while. When I regain my strength, I will leave naturally..."
Before she could finish her words, the townspeople shouted spontaneously: "Master Immortal saved our lives. Not to mention staying here for a while, even asking us to build a temple to worship you is not an exaggeration."
"That's right!"
"that is!"
"This..." The female fairy seemed to have never seen such a scene before, and was a little stunned for a moment.
"Master Immortal, since everyone welcomes you so much, if you don't mind, you can stay in the little old man's home." The old man saluted and said respectfully.
"Well, I'll be disrespectful." The female fairy seemed a little hesitant, but finally agreed because of the old man's enthusiasm.
Then the female immortal master looked solemn and said, "Then I will act for heaven today in front of you all and kill this monster to eliminate the disaster."
The female fairy immediately took out a talisman, stuck it on her hand, muttered something in her mouth, and after a while, she patted the man on the head.
In an instant, the man screamed, "Ah!"
All the muscles in his body were tense, trying to break free, "Monster! You dare to be so presumptuous!"
The female immortal master shouted and threw the Taoist talisman in her hand. Suddenly there was a burst of thunder in the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck down with lightning speed.
The man's struggling movements paused, and green smoke kept rising from his body.
After a while, the man became motionless.
When the smoke cleared, everyone took another look and saw that there was no man on the stage anymore, but a scorpion corpse as big as a calf.
Everyone took a few steps back and said in an uproar: "Look, I'm just saying, it must be a monster!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look, how could this guy be so big if he wasn't a monster!"
"I can also say that I have seen monsters when I go out in the future. Damn it, this is the first time I have seen one in my whole life."
The man who was arguing with Chen Siyu also turned around. He was about to argue with Chen Siyu, but he didn't find him. "Hey! He must have run away because he knew he was in the wrong."
After the initial fear, the townspeople became more curious and came closer to observe the corpse of the scorpion. The square was extremely noisy for a while.
But the old man did not stay any longer, but took the female fairy back home.
