"All you gentlemen, please rest in the village today. Tomorrow we will find some strong men to go up the mountain with you!"
In a small village not far from the foot of Eagle Mountain, many villagers are gathering here in the center of the village. Song Mu and others are also putting down their bags here, and Xiao Xiong is talking to the village elders.
"Master, shall we hunt monsters here tomorrow?"
Song Mu was standing next to Tao Fengming. Tao Fengming had his hands behind his back. He was looking at the people in front of him. After hearing Song Mu's words, his expression was very indifferent.
"Well, just stay here for one day. It should be worth a try."
As Tao Fengming said this, his eyes gradually looked into the distance, while Song Mu beside him breathed a sigh of relief.
I had been so excited during my conversation with the two woodcutters that I agreed to let them get rid of the demons here, and then I was warmly welcomed into the village.
Fortunately, there was nothing to worry about. Anyway, Tao Fengming said he would hit wherever he went.
Raising his head, Song Mu saw Tao Fengming looking into the distance, and immediately moved his eyes to look over there. Among the streets, there was a gravel road that could accommodate two carriages passing side by side.
In the early days of the establishment of the Wen Dynasty, the world was in turmoil. In order to maintain the lands that the humans had finally conquered and protect the many people, the human army ordered Taizu to build roads following the example of the First Emperor. This has continued for hundreds of years, and now the roads in the world are
, although it is not said to be extremely smooth, it can be regarded as connecting north and south and traversing east and west.
At this moment, on the sandy road, there are dozens of pedestrians with sallow faces and skinny faces, carrying luggage and dragging their families with them, heading north. Among them are people wearing black clothes and holding swords. They are commanding them. That is Shaozhou.
Officials were maintaining order and providing temporary accommodation for the victims from further south.
The coastal areas of Southern Xinjiang are now turbulent, with monsters and barbarians making trouble, and the Southern Xinjiang border troops have gathered at a faster pace. It is rumored that only Nanwu City in the south is still in the hands of the human race, and Guilin Mansion and Xiang Mansion further south have been
Fall, a war is about to break out.
Because of this turmoil, these people who originally lived a simple life had to leave their hometowns. Even Shaozhou Prefecture, which is close to Jiangnan West Road, felt unsafe and they had to continue heading north.
Song Mu also sighed slightly when he saw this scene.
I was born in a prosperous age in my previous life, and I was used to a plain and prosperous life. Now when I see these homeless people, I feel a little uncomfortable.
"Although there are official channels here, there are palace guards and guards, so there shouldn't be any monsters gathering here."
At this time, Tao Fengming who was standing next to him said something lightly, pulling Song Mu back from his thoughts. Song Mu turned his head. Tao Fengming had already found a place to sit down and was eating by himself.
Song Mu raised his head and glanced into the distance again. At this moment, he could only exhale, and then turned around to help the classmates pack their things.
Everyone pitched a few tents in the center of the village and stayed here temporarily for the night.
It seems that Song Mu was a little surprised about this tent, because everyone was traveling lightly, and Song Mu was the one carrying the most things. But after Tao Fengming ordered the camp to be set up, so many people appeared in the place.
If the tent is replaced on the spot and propped up with wooden sticks, it will be spacious enough.
The large, grass-grey tent looked quite sturdy, maybe it was a military tent.
Song Mu thought about it carefully and vaguely remembered that Xiao Xiong seemed to have taken it out of a small box. It was just a long, arm-shaped box.
This made Song Mu quite surprised. He couldn't get over this matter at the moment. He turned his head and saw Xue Kaiwen packing his things and getting ready to go to bed, so he immediately asked.
"Brother Ziyan, Mr. Xiao took these tents out of a small box today. How could such a big thing come out of such a small box..."
Hearing what Song Mu said, Xue Kaiwen immediately looked clear and opened his mouth to explain.
"I heard that it is a treasure made from the residue of the Sky Star. Many poems are engraved inside it with the smelted residue. Therefore, it is only one hand long, but it is extremely wide and can easily hold goods several feet long and wide."
"As for the name, it seems to be called Swallowing Heaven Ruler."
Song Mu paused when he heard this, and the expression on his face seemed a little surprised.
There are actually magical objects in this world that can be folded in space.
Xue Kaiwen was quite aware of this and said a few words at the moment.
"This Sky-Swallowing Ruler is still too precious. Our school only has two, which is still the lowest. But I heard from others that if you can become a Jinshi, the cultural tourmaline awarded to you seems to have such effects."
Song Mu blinked his eyes hard when he heard this, and then asked and confirmed in disbelief.
"Is what Brother Ziyan said true? Can Wenmai Tourmaline achieve such mysterious functions?"
Xue Kaiwen was stunned when he heard this, and his face was a little embarrassed. It seemed that it was just hearsay.
"What Zi Yan said is true."
The speaker was Fu Zefeng. He was about to lie down and rest in the tent. Hearing the discussion between Song and Mu, he immediately spoke.
"But even so, there are only so many of these Heaven-Swallowing Rulers. Ours is already pretty good. It's only one foot long, wide, and high. I heard there are even ten-foot-wide rulers, but they are already priceless."
"We can get something and bring it out. It's because the imperial court gave preferential treatment to Jiangnan West Taoist School."
Song Mu also nodded when he heard this, but at this moment his eyes were looking at another tent outside the tent.
That is Tao Fengming's residence.
Since Master has the Cultural Tourmaline on his body, why do he have to carry these things on his back?
A wry smile appeared on Song Mu's face, but he didn't think there was anything wrong at the moment. He just regarded this as Tao Fengming's test for him.
At night, Song Mu's sleep was not stable.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The past few days of trekking through mountains and rivers have been the most exhausting, but before Song Mu could really fall asleep, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded in the village, and then there were bursts of ten minutes.
Noisy shouts.
"A monster has entered the fields, everyone, hurry up and harvest the crops!"
The sound of gongs, drums and voices were so loud that Song Mu couldn't help but sit up at this moment. Someone had already walked outside to check the situation, and then came back to explain the situation.
"It seems that a monster has invaded the villagers' fields. The crops drying in the fields may suffer."
Song Mu also woke up a little after hearing these words, and immediately stood up and started to get dressed, and at this moment, a wave of obscure literary power suddenly spread out.
The waves kept rippling in all directions, and the next moment I heard the roars and roars of beasts coming from the mountains and forests, which seemed to be a bit frightening.
But the sound got farther and farther, and after a while, even the villagers' gongs and drums stopped.
"Those monsters retreated, it was the fluctuation of literary power released by the adults."
A scholar explained at this time. Song Mu looked outside dumbly. Tao Fengming's tent was not even lit. At this moment, a crisis was solved like this.
Everyone was speechless until a judge came in and asked everyone to take a rest early, and then they all stopped and continued to rest.
Song Mu couldn't sleep at the moment. When he was in Fucheng, some of the things he saw next to Tao Fengming were a bit one-sided. Although he knew that the other party was a very powerful scholar at the time, he was more inclined to use telekinesis.
He has extraordinary attainments.
But after getting along with each other these days, Song Mu felt that Tao Fengming was even more powerful.
Underneath his calm appearance, he actually hides terrifying and monstrous strength.
With this kind of admiration and admiration, Song Mu slowly fell asleep.
"Thank you for your help, sir. Yesterday, those monsters attacked from all directions. If it hadn't been for your help to scare away the monsters, we really don't know how much food we would have lost this time."
Early in the morning, the village chief came to thank everyone with a sumptuous meal, but everyone just smiled and did not accept anything.
Not long after, Tao Fengming also opened the tent and walked out, still looking messy and scrawled, with no sparkle in his eyes. He stretched outside and then spoke.
"Today we go up the mountain to hunt monsters. Each of the scholars will hunt three monster soldiers and lift five soldiers. We will finish before dark."
After saying that, Tao Fengming took out the teapot from somewhere and took a sip, then waved to Song Mu. Song Mu carried the baggage over and Tao Fengming chewed the dried meat and said.
"There should be a demon commander and three demon generals in this mountain. They were also killed and brought here."
