Chapter Eighteen: Ping An Village(1/2)
Lingxi was slightly startled, but she didn't know whether Huo Jingyu's words hit her mark.
She coughed lightly and said, "Brother Huo, we are here to investigate the coastal monsters. I wonder if you have any conclusions?"
Huo Jingyu whispered nonchalantly: "What else could be the reason? It is probably because the Xuanyuan Sword is about to be born, which has weakened the power of the Xuanyuan Sword array along the coast too much, allowing those monster beasts on the sea to take advantage of it."
Although Qian and Ling didn't know what was going on when Xuanyuan Sword was about to be born, they both pretended to "know".
Wen Hao touched Huo Jingyu lightly, hinting that he said too much.
Lingxi said: "So are you ready to report back to the sect?"
Huo Jingyu said proudly: "Of course not, we can't stand the refugees' pleading, and we are trying to get rid of this harmful beast!"
Hearing what he said, Qian Meier laughed out loud, "Although there are many of you, your cultivation levels are uneven. How dare you challenge a fifth-level monster?"
Huo Jingyu had always only had Lingxi in his eyes, and he thought the two were just followers, so he didn't pay attention. When he heard her speak, he was shocked to realize that this woman was charming and even prettier than Lingxi.
Seeing that he was stunned for a moment, Lingxi rolled her eyes at him, looking like she couldn't stand it. Junior sister Wenxi also pouted her lips, looking resentful.
Wen Hao helplessly poked his ribs secretly, and said at the same time: "We are just going to explore the situation first. According to the refugees, this monster lives on a small island in the North Sea. There is a mountain called Beihao on the island. We are trying to find a way
Go to sea."
Huo Jingyu came back to his senses, as if he didn't hear what Wen Hao said at all, he said loudly: "Of course we have to kill demons! To be honest, we brought an 'immortal weapon' along with us! Hum, there is no Xuanyuan Sword Formation on the sea.
With restrictions, the power of the fairy weapon can be more fully exerted, and even the monsters can be easily captured!"
When Wen Hao heard that he was "exploiting his family fortune" like this, obviously he wanted to show off himself in front of Qian Meier, he felt a headache for a moment and stopped talking.
Qian Meier pretended to be surprised and said: "Really? Can you open the little girl's eyes?"
"Hehe, that's not impossible..."
Huo Jingyu was so confused that he really wanted to get the fairy weapon out, but Wen Hao grabbed him and dragged him behind him.
"Everyone, it's getting late. We need to go to Beihao Mountain to explore as soon as possible. I wonder if some of you will go together?"
Lingxi wanted to go with them, but when she saw Qian Meier's eyes looking at Ling Ning, she held back and said nothing.
Ling Ning muttered: "I dare to ask, brother, have you been here to investigate for a long time? Have all the previous villages except Ping'an Village been attacked by monsters?"
Wen Hao nodded and said: "Yes, we only arrived two days earlier and found that among the nearby coastal villages, only Ping'an Village has not been attacked."
Ling Ning said: "I still want to take a look at Ping'an Village, but something feels wrong."
When Qianmei'er saw what he said, she naturally expressed her intention to go to Ping'an Village.
Lingxi hesitated for a while, but decided to go with Qian and Ling.
"I don't know what the surnames of brother and this girl are?"
"I am under Shui Yuetian Ling Ning. This is my fellow disciple... cough... Qian Mei'er."
Wen Hao slightly cupped his hands and said, "I'm with you Wen Hao from the Sword Forging Valley. These are my junior brother Huo Jingyu and my sister Wen Xi. Then, I'll take my leave first."
"Everyone, be careful!"
"Thank you!"
As Huo Jingyu reluctantly "wailed", the few of them parted ways.
Lingxi asked in confusion: "Why doesn't Mr. Ling go with them? Since they have found out the location of the monster, why not kill it together? Besides, the other party also has immortal weapons..."
Qian Meier naturally believed in Ling Ning unconditionally and wanted to hear his opinion.
Ling Ning shook his head and said: "I can't tell. When I looked at it from a high place, I just felt that there was a very strong demonic aura near Ping'an Village. It seemed that it was not the same demonic beast that attacked the village... Besides, those people in the Sword Forging Valley
To actually bring an immortal weapon with them, I feel like they are not just trying to 'slay demons and eliminate demons', but they must have other agendas."
Qianmei'er also nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, I can also feel that Ping'an Village seems a little different... The atmosphere of those people in Sword Making Valley is very complicated. It seems that most of them are casual cultivators. It is estimated that they will not go well. First of all,
It’s better to let them take the lead.”
Seeing what the two said, Lingxi also dispelled her doubts. However, she was also thinking about why the people from the Sword Forging Valley appeared here. Could it be that there was really any news about Xuanyuan Sword? You must know how "swordsmiths" like them are interested in immortal weapons.
The more you are familiar with, the better informed you will be.
When the three of them arrived at Ping'an Village, the sky was already dark, and smoke was rising from every house. Qian and Ling both wore veils to hide their pretty faces in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The village is not big, with about two hundred households. When several villagers saw the three people coming on horseback, they were not surprised at all. Instead, they greeted them with smiles. Among them, the strong fishermen stared intently at Qian and Ling.
, showing a greedy expression.
The leader was a stooped little old man who said cheerfully: "Are some of you also cultivators? Are you here to investigate the monsters?"
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then thought that since Qi State had issued a bounty on monster beasts, many monks must have settled here recently, and these villagers had long been accustomed to it.
Lingxi asked: "Have many monks come to this village recently?"
The little old man said: "Exactly, hey, do you want to stay here? We have opened a special inn in the village for all the immortal masters to stay."
Qian Meier said: "No, we are just here to investigate and we won't stay long."
The little old man said "Oh", "My name is Li Youfu, and I am the village chief of this village. The villagers here are simple and honest, why don't you let me take the immortal masters around the village?"
Qianmei'er said: "Then it will be hard work."
"But, hey, this fee..."
Ling Ning secretly asked for money as soon as he came up. It turns out that the people are simple and honest...
Lingxi took out a gold ingot without hesitation, and Li Youfu said with a smile: "Fathers of immortals, please come! That little bitch, please lead the horse to the immortals and feed them the best feed! All immortals, please come!"
"
Li Youfu was leading the way while introducing this small village. There were seven or eight young men around them, most of whom were attracted by Qian and Ling. Beautiful women are beautiful, even if their faces are covered, they are still very charming.
If they weren't monks, these people would have pounced on them long ago.
"Our village is called Ping'an Village. People have been fishing for generations. Although this is a small village, the folk customs are simple and very good..."
Ling Ning listened to what he said but didn't make any point, so he couldn't help but interrupt: "Village Chief, I heard that several nearby villages were attacked by monsters, but our village is the only one safe?"
Li Youfu chuckled, took a puff of dry tobacco and said, "Well, it's because our village has a god!"
Lingxi said: "You have a god in this small fishing village? Who do you worship?"
"Of course it's Poseidon!" Seeing the beauty asking for information, a young man couldn't help but steal the village chief's words.
Qianmeier asked in confusion: "But all the nearby villages worship the Poseidon, what's special about you?"
"Of course our Poseidon is different!" Another young man said first.
"Our Poseidon Queen can fly!"
"The one with wings has also shown his spirit. He is very divine!"
Several people were talking at random, but the three of them only heard a general outline.
Lingxi asked: "Spiritual manifestation? How to manifest the spirit?"
"One night, it was raining really hard! I saw two monsters fighting on the sea with my own eyes!"
"That's right! I saw it too..."
The three of them wanted to ask more, but the village chief said loudly: "Shut up, you little bastards! Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful that the Goddess of Poseidon won't spare you!"
His voice was so frightening that no one dared to speak.
Seeing this, Lingxi quickly handed over a piece of gold secretly, "Village Chief, you also know that we are here for the monsters. Can you explain it to us in detail?"
Seeing that he had money, Li Youfu immediately grinned, revealing his yellow-orange front teeth, "That's enough, that's enough, Master Immortal, you are too polite. Do you want to know what else can I hide? I'm afraid that the children will say it."
I don’t know... our Poseidon, she really showed her spirit! That night, there was a violent storm, and several people in our village could see clearly that there were two monsters... ah, it’s Poseidon.
Ah! The Goddess of Poseidon is fighting with a monster in the clouds! The monster looks like a chicken head and tiger claws, very fierce. The Goddess of Poseidon has great magical powers! It has wings and can fly! Suddenly it turns into a dragon!"
"No! It's not a dragon! It's... it's like a snake..."
"No, no, it's obviously...a big carp! It has wings!"
"No, no! It's a human! It's a woman!"
"Are you crazy about women?"
"You only want women!"
Everyone was quarreling non-stop, but Li Youfu showed the momentum of the village chief, "Damn it, stop arguing! I am the village chief, listen to me, and what I say is what I say! Get out of here! Get out of here!"
Ling Ning coughed lightly and said, "Village chief, can you take us to see the Poseidon?"
Li Youfu nodded, "Okay, okay, let's go this way."
The place dedicated to the Goddess of Poseidon is in the center of the village. A small pavilion has been built, and inside is the statue of the Goddess of Poseidon. Apparently because of the recent outbreak of monsters, the statue of the God of Poseidon is full of tributes, which can be said to be "prosperous."
.
The facial features of the statue of the Goddess of Poseidon have been somewhat blurred due to long-term exposure to wind and rain, but she looks like a girl in her late teens, and she actually has wings like bird wings on her back.
Lingxi said: "Why is the Poseidon Queen so young? I see that the Poseidon Queens enshrined in other villages all look middle-aged."
Li Youfu said: "This, we made it according to the appearance of the Goddess of the Sea when she appeared. Back then, I saw the Goddess of the Sea clearly when she appeared for the first time!"
At this time, someone suddenly yelled: "What Poseidon! Bullshit! Don't pull me! I'm not... not drunk! She was the one who caused... killed me... my brother Li and his family! Damn it! Don't pull me
