These few people who appeared at the exit of the street... were pale and thin, with disheveled hair and faces, missing arms and legs. Everyone was holding a machete or an axe in their hands, and these weapons were covered in flesh and blackened blood. Even though they were still some distance away from the crowd in the center of the street, the breeze still brought a stench from them.
Obviously, these people did not expect to meet so many people on the street. The fierce look on their faces had not yet disappeared. When they saw the monks standing on the street, they were all stunned, then happy, and then afraid.
It was not until they saw the monks holding weapons in their hands that the fear on their faces turned into horror. It was as if some bad memories were awakened from them. Their eyes were wide open and they stared at the weapons in the monks' hands, as if they wanted to squeeze their eyeballs out of their sockets.
The stiff bodies of the men began to tremble violently, as if they had just realized something. A pool of yellow, unknown liquid appeared under the feet of the last few people. There was a loud "clang" and someone dropped the axe in their hands.
A single stone caused a thousand ripples. The last few people fell to the ground. Some of them dropped their weapons and started running backwards like frightened birds. Only the few young men who were walking in the front at the beginning were like crazy. They raised their weapons and rushed towards the monks.
Of course, this group of people was easily subdued by a group of monks.
Half an hour later, in a small courtyard in the city.
This is a small courtyard with only two entrances. All the monks are standing in the living room, filling it up.
At this time, those humans had already tidied themselves up. With the help of the monks, their complexions had improved a lot. Those who were missing eyes, ears, hands and feet were now intact and were now kneeling in the middle of the living room. Even though the monks told them not to do so, they did not listen.
Xiong Qi had a bad temper, and what he could endure until now was already the limit. He stood in front of those mortals and asked as calmly as possible: "Tell me, what exactly happened here!"
The kneeling people looked up and saw a pair of huge bear paws. They all trembled and stammered, unable to speak.
Xiong Qi was furious when he saw this. He was about to open his mouth but was stopped by Song Xunbai: "Xiong Qi, shut up."
Xiong Qi's face darkened, but under Song Xunbai's cold gaze, he retreated behind the crowd. Song Xunbai didn't speak again after that. His attitude obviously let the cultivators ask questions.
The monks looked at each other for a moment, then finally fixed their gazes on Nianshu. Nianshu's expression remained unchanged as she calmly walked over to the kneeling mortals and crouched down.
"Everyone, raise your heads. This is tiring." Nianshu's voice was steady and gentle, very soothing. She reached out and gently patted the young man kneeling in the front, and asked softly, "We are cultivators from the immortal world. My name is Nianshu. You have been very brave today. What is your name?"
The man raised his head slightly and glanced at Nianshu. It seemed that he was just an ordinary person who could read people's expressions. Seeing that Nianshu had no calculations on his face, he really straightened up slowly. Everyone could see his face clearly then. He was a young man with a handsome face. He looked to be less than 15 years old. Compared with this group of monks who had been practicing for a long time, he was really too young.
"My name is Li Changsheng." The young man answered in a very young voice.
"Okay Changsheng, can you tell us what exactly happened here?" Nianshu asked again.
"I can say it, but before that, can you promise me not to harm our lives?" Li Changsheng said hesitantly. He was carefully observing Nianshu's expression while trying to negotiate terms. Obviously, as long as he noticed that Nianshu had any unhappy thoughts, he would immediately shut up.
"I, Nianshu, swear to the Heavenly Dao that I will never harm the lives of Li Changsheng or those around him without reason." Nianshu said without hesitation, her voice sincere and powerful. "Of course, I will not allow the cultivators here to harm you and others at will. Are you satisfied with this, Li Changsheng?"
Most monks actually avoid having too much interaction with mortals, but the world still has a majority of ordinary people. Sometimes some monks pretend to be kind to ordinary people for some information, and then they will cross the river and demolish the bridge after achieving their goal. No matter what, mortals cannot compete with monks.
Li Changsheng has been hanging around in the demon world since he was a child. As an ordinary human being, he is considered to be at the bottom of the demon world. He can only survive to this day by relying on his flexible mind and cautious character.
When he saw the group of monks appearing on the street near the city gate, he did not feel much fear. When these monks gave them elixirs to heal their wounds and found them clean clothes, he knew that these monks had other intentions. This was an opportunity for him to escape from the city, and he had to seize it.
If this group of monks were no different from the ones he had met before, he had a way to wake up all the sleeping demons in the city. Since he couldn't get out alive anyway, he could just drag this group of monks to be buried with him. It wouldn't be a loss for him anyway.
But he didn't expect that reading would lead to swearing to heaven. This was completely beyond his expectations.
"I..." Li Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and his tense heart slowly relaxed. He lowered his head and dared not look at the book again. Then he slowly told everything he knew.
"As you immortals know, I'm only a mortal, and I don't know much. But I can share my experiences with you. As for what happened here, you immortals are knowledgeable and should be able to guess a little."
