[102] Fox Hill Village, Mang Zong Grotto(1/2)
The terrain of Donghai Prefecture is very special. It is surrounded by sea-sided places, with many beaches and wetlands. At the center of the prefecture, there are mountains and clouds gathering.
It forms the peaks and ridges into veins, one after another, and one by one form a piece.
In order not to be involved in the world, all earth immortals live in the mountains, which is difficult for ordinary people to see.
Let the dragon stay outside the mountain, Ning Xiu and Chang Fenghai enter the mountain.
With Chang Fenghai leading the way, Ning Xiu was familiar with the road and walked into the mountain. The road that was originally complicated and lingering actually gave Chang Fenghai the feeling of walking in his own yard.
It was originally a place with no way ahead, Chang Fenghai made several turns, and Ning Xiu's eyes suddenly became dark and bright, and another village appeared in another new way.
"Sir, there are many caves of earth immortals in the mountains. Some earth immortals are gentle and kind, while others don't like to get close to people. Since we are here, we should pay attention. Next, please follow me and don't walk around." Chang Fenghai turned around and reminded.
Ning Xiu nodded: "Of course there is no problem."
As I went deeper into the mountains, I could clearly feel that the air in the mountains became extremely refreshing than outside.
The plants and trees are growing extremely green and vigorously, and the flowers are even green and verdant. Ancient vines fall down from the treetops above.
A stupid brown bear emerged from the bushes next to him and immediately met Ning Xiu and the other two.
It is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing to encounter a brown bear in the wild. It is the best hunter. When you encounter a brown bear, you cannot fight against an adult bear alone with your own strength.
Just as Ning Xiu was ready to take action, the brown bear nodded to Chang Fenghai in a very humane manner.
Chang Fenghai immediately replied with a greeting, and it seemed that both of them were familiar with each other.
"This is a friend of the earth immortal at home, and his seniority is not low in this mountain." Seeing Ning Xiu's doubts, Chang Fenghai explained with a voice.
The Humen Immortal worshipped by Chang Fenghai is called Hu Taigu. Although he is not as powerful as the three major monster factions and has far-reaching influence.
But in terms of strength, it is not to be underestimated in this mountain.
After the brown bear left, Chang Fenghai continued to set off. As he circled around, he ran into many wild beasts on the road.
A village located on a mound instantly emerged in Ning Xiu's eyes.
This village is full of houses made of hay and soil. There are bushes full of red flowers everywhere in the village. The scenery is quite beautiful. It looks like a paradise of fairy residence.
As soon as Ning Xiu walked into the village, he saw two foxes with yellow and red furs coming out of a bowl-shaped mud house. After seeing Chang Fenghai bring an outsider, he immediately ran over with curiosity and stared at Ning Xiu.
"What are they?" Ning Xiu asked.
"The descendants of Taigu are all kind fox monsters." Chang Fenghai took out the almond candy prepared earlier from his arms and gave the two foxes one. Seeing their eyes squinted and licked happily, Ning Xiu's impression of this demon village was slightly improved.
It seems that this place is not as smoky as I had imagined before.
There are many such little fox demons in this hilly village. According to Chang Fenghai, only those powerful and Taoist fox demons who are good at Taoist fox demons know the art of transforming into humans. This little fox demon who is weak in Taoist can't even use a decent magic, let alone local immortals, who cooperate with others and help others become witches.
After learning that Wu Zhu, who was a land fairy, came to the village, many little fox monsters ran out of the bowl-shaped houses, gathered around Chang Fenghai and sat down obediently, looking up and waiting for Chang Fenghai's almond candy to feed. The scene looked quite harmonious.
"Everyone retreated, it's so kind of decent, and it's a joke." A fox speech suddenly sounded, and Ning Xiu didn't understand what he was saying, but he could clearly see that everyone, the little fox demon immediately ran away from here in shame.
At the same time, there were still a few eyes still looking back, looking back at the candy in Chang Fenghai's hand with desire. However, due to the fox's scolding, he had to swallow his saliva and leave.
Ning Xiu looked at the sound and saw a white fox walking upright, wearing clothes and shoes on his body slowly coming. Its steps and figure were very similar. If it weren't for knowing that this was a fox village, Ning Xiu would even doubt whether someone was wearing a pair of leather covers inside.
"Mr. Chang." Looking at Chang Fenghai, the white fox actually greeted people.
"I have seen Aunt Hu Ba. Today, my disciples came to take this master to visit Tai Gu." Chang Fenghai explained.
The white fox looked at Ning Xiu. Although the other party was wearing simple clothes, he immediately understood Ning Xiu's identity when he called him as a lord Chang Fenghai.
The ordinary local officials, Wu Zhu, would not have brought them here to expose the existence of this village. The only one who could make Chang Fenghai do this was the only Demon Fushi in Jingzhou.
As an existence dedicated to dealing with evil spirits within the territory of the Da Shang Dynasty, Wu Zhu dared to resist their orders and basically had half his leg on the charge of "demon man". Therefore, the earth immortals all expressed their understanding of Chang Fenghai's move.
"I have met Lord Fumowei." Aunt Hu Ba immediately saluted.
Although this fox is only half a human tall, its strength and aura are about the fourth grade. This is considered a big monster among the people.
"I'm here today. I need to ask Hu Taigu for help if I have something to do. Please introduce it to me." Ning Xiu bowed and said.
"This... OK, come here by sir." Aunt Hu Ba hesitated a little, but he agreed immediately.
It could not see through the strength of the Demon-Suppressing Guard in front of it, which means that the opponent's strength is far above him, and that is the category of the top third grade.
This strength is placed in the Demon Subduing Division, but the serious Silver Tiger Demon Subduing Captain is considered a big shot in any place in Da Shang. Aunt Hu didn't dare to neglect it, so she turned around and took Ning Xiu and the others to the mud house built on the highest hill in the village.
This mud house can be said to be the most special existence in the entire village. A large curved tree grew on the top of the mud roof. Many butterflies and dragonflies radiating various colors of light flew around the treetops, which looked very beautiful from a distance.
When Ning Xiu walked into the mud house, he saw a red fox lying on a bamboo chair, holding a cigarette in his hand, smoking a dry cigarette leisurely. This posture was much more like someone was wearing a leather cover and lying there than Aunt Hu Ba.
"Master Taigu." After seeing the red fox, Chang Fenghai immediately saluted.
This is the fox demon spirit body that Ning Xiu saw behind him when he was in his residence.
"You are here." The red fox seemed to have guessed it long ago, not surprised at all, Ning Xiu and the others came to their residence at this time, put the cigarette gun on the wooden table next to them, and stood up.
"Ma Fangfang is dead. Is this the reason why you came to the mountains to find your old age?" Hu Taigu sighed.
Ning Xiu nodded: "So you already know about Hu Taigu. So do you know who the murderer was?"
"Please tell Lao Shen what happened first. Ma Fangfang has a relationship with one of Lao Shen's children. Lao Shen also learned about Ma Fangfang's death just now, but I don't know the specific situation."
Ning Xiu told him about the fact that he saw Grandma Ma talking to the Black Hand with his own eyes and then being killed.
"It seems that there are earth immortals in the mountains that have broken the rules we have agreed on over the years. It's such a bastard." Hu Taigu said angrily.
In fact, the witch and Zhu style in Donghaizhou is said to be hidden only for ordinary people. How could the Fumosi, who supervises the entire Da Shang situation, not know?
However, after examining the situation of these demons and immortals in the mountains of Donghai Prefecture, the Demon Fushi calculated the risk assessment, and finally felt that this trend could be preserved, allowing the demons and immortals to live in harmony with the people and help the people.
This will save a lot of the frequency of sending people to Donghaizhou to deal with evil evil and harming people. These demons and immortals will be the first to come forward to help solve the problem. This trend may well evolve into a new system of Taoism in the future.
As long as these demons and immortals do not cause trouble and are willing to practice sincerely with the incense method, the Demon Subduing Secret can give them some convenience.
Therefore, the earth immortals in the mountains of Donghai Prefecture took the lead and agreed on many rules together to restrain everyone. If they do not do anything, they will lead to the punishment of the Demon-Suppressing the Demon-Secret.
This time, there were many fishing villages where children were lost, and the grandma Ma, who was Wu Zhu, was killed. It was obvious that the earth immortals in the mountains were taking action secretly, which seriously affected the stability of the mountain for hundreds of years.
If the number of victims is not stopped in time, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Hu Taigu, do you have any guesses about who the murderer behind the scenes is?" Ning Xiu asked.
"Sorry, with just a black claw, Laozi could not get any useful clues from it, nor could it be determined which immortal in this mountain. However, Laozi had a way to communicate with Ma Fangfang and let her tell us what she knew."
"Oh!" Ning Xiu's eyes lit up: "Please speak with Mr. Hu."
"The Python Sect Cave has a 'first seven soul-returning technique'. As long as the dead person dies for less than seven days, his residual soul can be condensed and recalled, and then let her say the best farewell to her relatives during her lifetime. As long as she performs this technique, we can talk to Ma Fangfang. Who is the identity of the Black Claw? The truth will naturally be revealed at that time."
"Okay, it's not too late, let's hurry up and head to the Python Sect Cave."
...
There is a village in Donghai Prefecture that has become rich in recent years. This village was poor a few years ago and even caught very little fish. In the end, there was no way, so it had to rely on the surrounding fishing villages to provide relief.
But I don’t know why in recent years, this village has become a complete transformation. Every time I go overseas, I can always make a fortune, and I can also catch some rare hard goods and sell them to high-ranking officials and nobles. Basically, I can make money while lying down.
Because of getting rich, the originally dilapidated fence walls of this village have been replaced with stone walls, and the dilapidated wooden houses in the village have been transformed into two-story and three-story exquisite buildings.
The people in the surrounding villages were very surprised by the changes in this village, but it was difficult to find any problems.
After all, you can't just doubt the reason behind the other party because others got rich inexplicably.
Fengmeng Village.
Wu Zhu Pang Chao was sitting at his home and preparing herbs. Once this herb was applied, he could cure any soreness, illness and injury, and the effect was excellent.
So Wu Zhu took it out and sold it everywhere. Over the years, he made a lot of money by selling medicine. His family even raised horses and carriages, and enjoyed the excellence when traveling.
Just as Pang Chao was focusing on pharmaceuticals, a dark figure suddenly appeared behind him and made a voice and said, "Go to do something for me quickly, don't delay."
When Pang Chao heard this voice, he was so scared that he was clever and quickly stood up: "Master Shan, why are you here suddenly?"
"Don't talk nonsense to me. Now go to the easternmost village immediately and destroy the corpse of Wu Zhu in that village. You must not give her the first seven chance to return to her soul."
Seeing the figure's tone was very ferocious, although Pang Chao didn't know what was going on, he could feel the seriousness of the matter from it, so he immediately responded: "Okay Grandpa Shan, I'll go now."
"In addition, during this period, you asked the villagers to be smarter and not have any contact with the mountains anymore. No one is allowed to go to my place. If anyone comes to your village to ask, he will have to answer all of them.
"I understand that Grandpa Shan, I will definitely let everyone keep their mouths tight."
After Pang Chao confirmed, the black shadow disappeared.
"What a big deal happened, this is it." Pang Chao couldn't help but wipe his face. Before, Grandpa Shan had never acted so panicked. Pang Chao knew very well that this was definitely a reaction that something big happened.
Thinking of the activities that the village has done for this Shan Majesty over the years, Pang Chao couldn't help but sweat from his forehead and said inexplicably: "It's not about our village, what should we do now?"
He quickly walked out of the house, and Pang Chao called out a few villagers who obeyed his orders the most on weekdays and rushed to the fishing village where Grandma Ma was.
...
If the mountain is divided into three parts, the area occupied by the Python Sect Cave is really called a gloomy and unseen.
According to Hu Taigu, there are clouds covering the sky all year round to prevent the sun from illuminating the ground. At the same time, the vegetation in this area is very lush. Even if the sunlight shines, it will be blocked by the branches and leaves of the trees, and it will be difficult for the sun to fall to the ground.
This makes the python cave gloomy and humid, not suitable for most demons and immortals to live in, but it is very suitable for snakes and pythons to live here, and it is simply the perfect habitat for cold-blooded animals.
Looking at the dark forest atmosphere and the occasionally seen wild beast skeletons on the ground, Ning Xiu’s first impression was that this python sect cave did not look like a good thing.
This time, when we came to the territory of the Mang Sect Cave, Hu Taigu only went with Ning Xiu and Chang Fenghai, and did not bring other fox fairies in the Hu Sect, so as not to cause the unhappiness of the Mang Sect Cave.
Not long after entering this dark forest, I saw a large number of snakes suddenly appearing on the nearby trees, red, blue, white, mixed colors. This was completely about entering a snake cave.
