The two hurriedly left the teahouse and rushed to Taiping Town, complaining about Old Man Yu.
Taiping Town is the second stop for the two.
Daomen is located in the middle of Dongling Continent, and Taiping Town is in the northwest of Daomen. It is far away, but compared to other mission places, it is close.
The second mission of the two is to eliminate the demon in Taiping Town.
Taiping Town has a slight lack of spiritual energy. Most of the people in the town are ordinary people. The highest level of monks is only the second level of Zhimort, and that is the mayor.
In the past, this place was peaceful and peaceful, and it could be said that the house was never closed at night and no items were picked up on the road.
In addition, there is no pressure to survive, so Yihongyuan is the only pastime and generally accepts men.
Later, a series of foreign men died in the town, suspected of being sucked away by a demon and died.
Yihongyuan was affected and its business became increasingly sluggish.
Lin and Tian came to Taiping Town. The town was not big and most of the people living here knew each other.
As soon as they entered the town, they saw that there were few people on the road, and most of them were women. After pedestrians saw Lin Tian and Li Chengdao, they hurriedly avoided them.
"Brother Lin, they seem to be afraid of us?" Li Chengdao said.
Lin Tian nodded, "It should be that monster murders have occurred one after another in the town. Local residents will be on guard when they see outsiders. Anyone who fails to protect them is the monster in disguise."
"Let's go to the mayor's house first and ask about the situation."
"Okay." Li Chengdao agreed.
The mayor's courtyard is the largest in the town and is easy to find.
When the two entered, Lin Tian shouted, "Is the mayor at home?"
An old man walked out of a side room in the courtyard, "I am Shang Ping, the mayor of Taiping Town. Who are the two immortal chiefs?"
Lin Tian took out the Taoist token and flashed it.
"It turns out to be the Immortal Chief of the Taoist Sect. Please come in quickly." Shang Ping greeted him warmly.
The two of them followed Shang Ping into the main hall. The decoration in the main hall was simple and simple. Except for a picture of a woman leaning against a rock, there was nothing outstanding about it.
After Lin Tian took his seat, he went straight to Huanglong and said, "The two of us are here to slay the demon. Please tell me, Lord Shang, what you know."
Shang Ping cupped his fists and bowed, "Thank you two immortals. This matter needs to start with the origin of Taiping Town."
"Taiping Town was originally called Stone Town. It is located at the foot of a mountain. During the rainy season, rocks roll down from the mountain and destroy houses. However, the local residents have been here for generations and do not want to leave."
"Until a young man named Zheng Shan appeared in the town. He was the son of an Orion. His parents were stoned to death for going up the mountain, so he changed his name to Zheng Shan, which means 'Zhenshan', and he determined to move the mountain."
"But there is only one person with the strength to move this mountain. It will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse. At that time, many residents laughed at him for not overestimating his own capabilities. Some wise men in the town said to him, "It's so bad. It's not good for you!"
, once I could not destroy a single hair of the mountain, how could it be like earth and stone?"
"But Zheng Shan didn't care at all, and even said that wise saying..."
Hearing this, Lin Tian thought of the allusion of Foolish Old Man Who Moved the Mountain, which was very similar to this one.
Then Lin Tian suddenly said: "So, Zheng Shan has been determined to move mountains for generations."
"He said the wisest saying is, even if I die, my sons will survive; sons will beget grandchildren, and grandsons will beget sons; sons will have sons, and sons will have grandsons; there will be endless descendants, and if the mountains don't increase, why bother?
Rather than being unfair?"
"In the end, with the efforts of generations, the mountain was moved away, and Luanshi Town was changed to 'Taiping Town'!"
Shang Ping's eyes widened and he stared at Lin Tian closely, this...
After a long while, he said: "Immortals grow up to be talented. Such a famous saying, and such an ending can be said to be quite educational."
"But, why do we have to move from generation to generation?"
"The reality is, after Zheng Shan listened to the wise man's words, he sneered and said, "Mortal power can't move mountains, but what about the power of immortals? Three years at the foot of the mountain, three years at the top. When I return from cultivating immortality, I can level this broken mountain. Good to teach."
You know, the ambition of a sparrow and a swan is as great as that of a swan!"
"Three years later, he really came with a flying sword and moved mountains with one sword."
"Zheng Shan changed the name of Luanshi Town to Taiping Town, and then left with his sword in style."
"..." Lin Tian couldn't calm down for a long time after listening to it. He thought it was a fable about perseverance, but it turned out to be a cool story with pretentiousness and slap in the face???
"Although, but, how does this relate to the human life case in Taiping Town?" Lin Tian asked while complaining.
Shang Ping rationalized his thoughts and said: "Don't be anxious, Immortal, the monsters harming people are closely related to this matter!"
"After Zheng Shan left, even though he said he was different from immortals, he was still kind-hearted and left a spiritual stone puppet to protect the residents of the town forever."
"And this stone puppet was not a living creature at first, but later it got a strange fate, became a spirit through cultivation, and developed spiritual intelligence."
After hearing this, Lin Tian glanced at Li Chengdao. At that time, he and Li Chengdao were in the cemetery. He was surprised that phosphorus fire turned into spirit. This guy said, "Stones can turn into spirit", and it turned out that his prophecy came true.
"So, that stone puppet is..." Lin Tian originally wanted to say that the stone puppet was a monster that murdered foreigners, but he thought of Shang Ping's unconventional explanation just now.
So he changed his mind and said, "So, how did the stone puppet become a spirit?"
"The Immortal is smart and asked the key." Shang Ping flattered, and then continued, "At that time, there were monks fighting outside Taiping Town. The spiritual blood spilled on the stone puppet, and then absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, cultivated the Tao, and opened spiritual wisdom.
."
"But spilling spiritual blood is both a good thing and a bad thing."
"The good thing is that the stone puppet has opened up spiritual wisdom, greatly increased his cultivation, and can better protect the local residents."
"But the bad thing is that the spiritual blood also nourishes another creature, the snake."
"There was a snake who also practiced Taoism and developed spiritual wisdom. His strength was comparable to that of the Stone Puppet. It was also at that time that one after another foreigners were sucked dry of their Yuan Yang and died, and there were snake monsters everywhere, but the Stone Puppet was
I don’t want to do anything with her.”
"This snake demon is hiding in Yihongyuan..."
After listening to this, Li Chengdao said: "So, that stone puppet has spiritual wisdom and knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. He can only protect the residents of the town as much as possible, while outsiders are unable to protect him?"
Shang Ping was not sure and said vaguely: "Probably."
"Then let's go to Yihongyuan first to find out what's going on?" Li Chengdao asked Lin Tiandao.
Lin Tian shook his head, "Wait a minute, since Shi Puppet knows about this, why didn't he tell that Zheng Shan."
Shang Ping sighed and said: "Shi Puppet has no way of contacting Zheng Shan, and Zheng Shan has achieved great success in cultivation. There is no place in the world that he cannot go to, and it is difficult to find him."
"In that case, let's go to the stone puppet first." Lin Tian said.
"Mayor, does he know where the stone puppet is now?"
Shang Ping said: "In the forest one mile in front of the town, stone puppets generally absorb the essence of plants and trees there to practice."
"Thank you."
Lin Tian then took Li Chengdao to the woods one mile away.
"Brother Lin, why don't we go to Yihongyuan? Isn't that snake demon in Yihongyuan?" Li Chengdao asked curiously as he walked out of the mayor's yard.
