Gu Changsheng's body had not yet fully recovered and he needed to find a place to rest for a few days. Hearing from the tea shop owner that there was a large town walking north along the ancient road, he took Zhang Lei on the road.
After walking for a long time, I suddenly felt that there were more and more pedestrians on the road. I looked forward and saw that there was a small town in front of the ancient road. Although it looked small, it might be a caravan passing by on the ancient road.
There were a lot of pedestrians.
Zhang Lei felt happy in his heart and temporarily forgot about his worries. After witnessing his last master's unjust death, he took the initiative to withdraw from Baijiang Pavilion and hid in the sparsely populated mountains to be alone and depressed. When he saw such a small town, he felt that
Let him cheer up.
Walking closer, I saw a stone tablet standing on the roadside at the entrance of the town, with the three words "Nanqin Town" engraved on it, which I guess was the name of this town.
Zhang followed Gu Changsheng and walked into the town. He heard the voices of people gradually getting louder. The ancient road ran straight through the town. There were houses with eaves and some shops beside the road, but there were more
, but there are some vendors who set up stalls directly on both sides of the road. Walking along the street, the sound of selling is endless, which is really a picture of the world.
Just as the two of them were walking through the crowd, there was a sudden commotion in front of them.
"Dang, clang, clang, clang, clang..."
A loud sound of gongs came from the street, startling him, and then he saw the surrounding townspeople speeding up their pace and moving to both sides of the street. From time to time, he heard a few people walking and talking:
"Look, Qingyuan Mountain is going to clear out demons again. I wonder how many people will go up this time?"
"I heard that the two demon foxes in the mountains started causing mischief again this time, and gathered many demons and ghosts!"
"Yes, the Lord of Luoyun City has mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers, and also invited hundreds of immortals to help out. This time, we must wipe out this nest of vixens to prevent them from getting bigger here!"
"I hope we can kill those monsters as soon as possible, otherwise it will be impossible to live this life, and we will still be collecting mountain goods to eat!"
…
Zhang Lei stood behind Gu Changsheng and listened to the words of the townspeople. His curiosity was aroused, and he followed the crowd and looked towards the front of the street. He saw that the doors and windows in the attics on both sides of the street were opened one after another, and many people stretched out their arms.
Head out and watch the fun.
Not long after, a group of officers wearing official uniforms and riding high horses came through the street. Behind them were rows of government soldiers holding swords and guns, and the procession passed through the market neatly.
Zhang Lei stood in the crowd and looked towards the street. He saw a sturdy middle-aged man walking at the front on horseback. He looked very mighty. Behind him were three people on horseback, two old and one old.
Young Master, I think they are the Lord of Luoyun City and his entourage that I heard about just now.
Watching the large group of soldiers and horses passing by, the townspeople waved and whispered something in low voices, as if they were no longer surprised by everything in front of them.
"They are all young people in their twenties. I don't know how many people will be killed by those goblins this time. Alas..."
There was a burst of sighs from the surrounding townspeople, and a few even cursed loudly.
Zhang Lei understood most of it in his heart, but he still didn't know what the monster was, and he actually wanted to send out soldiers to destroy it. Isn't it a matter that should be solved by cultivators to eliminate monsters?
At this time, I heard a town citizen next to me say again: "Those big monsters are driven by immortals, but we are not afraid of them being rampant. Only those little monsters will appear all over the mountains and plains every once in a while."
"No ordinary mountain people can defeat them, and the immortals can't kill them all. We can only rely on these soldiers to surround and annihilate them all. Only then can Qingyuan Mountain live a peaceful life."
"It's just that so many soldiers have to die every time. They were all born to their parents, so they only have lives. It's such a pity!"
As soon as this person finished speaking, the surrounding townspeople said one after another: "This is reasonable, but I don't know how many immortals will come to help this time?"
Zhang Lei was hesitating when he suddenly heard a sudden uproar among the surrounding townspeople. He quickly looked up and was surprised. He saw a group of giant men stepping on magic weapons. Wherever they went, there was a golden light and a powerful aura.
Oncoming.
When the crowd saw some immortal cultivators, they waved and saluted the giant men as enthusiastically as if they were boiling a pot.
Zhang Lei saw it clearly, and saw that the man in the lead looked not very old, around twenty at most, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a square face and wide ears. Among the group of giant men, the tallest one was only as tall as him.
The shoulders really have the aura of overlooking all living beings.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the townspeople, the giant man who took the lead laughed and suddenly shouted: "Do you want to see the magic of the immortal family?"
The sound was like thunder, and Zhang Lei's ears were actually buzzing. Not to mention the other townsfolk, all of them lost color at first, but within a moment, they all started roaring with excitement.
I saw the giant man frowning and crossing his hands, forming a seal with one hand, chanting a short mantra in a low voice, and shouted: "Long!"
"Whew", a gust of wind suddenly came from around the giant man, whizzing past the ears of the townspeople. It was almost unbearable, and everyone lost their temper. They all held on to things next to them to stabilize themselves.
I saw the golden light rising, and the giant man suddenly sacrificed a huge golden wooden fish, which lay horizontally in the air with a bright golden light. The two words "broken heart" were engraved on it, which looked a bit solemn.
Everyone cheered immediately, but Zhang Lei stood in the crowd, but frowned. He was from the exorcism clan, and he knew a little bit about Buddhist cultivation methods. The wooden fish sacrificed by the giant man in front of him had a solemn golden light. Look at this
I'm afraid most of the hand gestures used by people to cast spells have some connection with the Buddhist line of cultivation.
This golden wooden fish is extremely huge, and it seems to be even bigger than its owner. At this time, it is held in the air by the giant man, and the golden light shines brightly. The giant man opens his eyes wide, and points out the magic formula, and the wooden fish
The stick whistled in the air and hit his head.
"Dong dong dong dong..."
"Boom", amidst the loud noise, dust flew up, and the tiles and small objects in the house that were originally motionless began to beat in a moment, driven by the magic power.
"Wow..." The townspeople present were all dumbfounded, and then they all smiled. Since this giant man has such power, it is naturally easy to get rid of the monsters on Qingyuan Mountain. Lord Luoyun first clasped his fists towards the giant and laughed.
He kept saying, "Master Kongming of Tiannan Temple is very capable. I leave it to you to eradicate the great demon."
The giant man nodded and led his monks, turning into rainbows and flying towards Qingyuan Mountain.
Zhang Lei listened to the giant man's words on the side, and for some reason, he felt a surge of excitement in his heart. He felt very ashamed at the moment. He only felt that he and his master had been so prosperous in the past. How could he be so decadent now? He had really embarrassed his master.
s face.
Thinking of this, his blood surged, and he felt that he was a descendant of the exorcist clan. How could he ignore this matter? He thought about it and took a step forward, revealed his identity, and went to exorcise the demons together with the giant man.
Unexpectedly, he had only raised his feet three points, and the moment he had just left the ground, he suddenly heard a voice beside him, which was a bit sarcastic and a bit cold, saying: "Zhang Lei, I see you are covered with dark clouds and the hall is dark.
There is an evil spirit on his face, and his luck has been extremely bad!"
Zhang Lei was originally full of confidence, and when the words reached his throat, he was about to speak out and do something righteous. Unexpectedly, someone said these words in his ear. He was shocked and choked on the words.
I walked back. I didn't pay attention to my step, staggered, stepped on the wrong place, and actually stepped over a swill bucket.
This step was no small matter, and the surrounding townspeople jumped up when they heard the sound. They all looked at the stinking troublemaker. Although they were separated by a short distance, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. They were all worried about Zhang Lei, who was covered in filth.
They all avoided it.
Zhang Lei immediately turned his head angrily, only to see Gu Changsheng pinching his nose and looking at him with disgust on his face.
Zhang Lei was momentarily restrained by his new master and couldn't curse anymore. Just as he was thinking about what to say, he saw Gu Changsheng retreating with the crowd. Not only did he not help him out, but he even looked at him with a look on his face.
With a lively look, he said: "Look, look, I'm right, I told you that you are going to be in bad luck!"
Zhang Lei was surprised and said: "What?"
Gu Changsheng glanced at him and said seriously: "What are you asking? Find a place to clean it up quickly. Don't you think it's embarrassing?"
Zhang Lei was speechless and said in a daze: "But I don't have any silver..."
At this moment, the shopkeeper rushed over and was about to curse, when he heard a "pop!" and a small ingot of gold was slapped on the palm of his hand.
"Two bedrooms, right away!" Gu Changsheng pinched his nose and said.
