Volume 1, Chapter 22: Near the Black Water Pond, a Close View of Yijian Gorge
After listening to this, Ye Tingmu seemed to be thinking about something.
Perhaps the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, such as love, hate, and vengeance, are what monsters want.
If you can't get it, then make a fuss...
The big black bull lay aside, his eyes full of disdain.
"So, Monk, what is the connection between this Willow Tree Demon you mentioned and the Fire Cloud Python?"
"Of course they are related. My master said that there was a blood evil rising from the east and a purple light invading, so he sent us out. One is to gain experience, and the other is to investigate the matter. Now it seems that there is a wind hidden here, so it must be that the cult has set up an array here. This Fire Cloud Python is very likely a gimmick they made." He lowered his tone a few degrees and spoke in a low voice.
Cult?
Ye Tingmu was a little confused. He had never heard of this before. What was this Blood Demon Formation? He felt that what the little monk in front of him said was a bit confusing.
"Little monk, according to what you said, someone is setting up a trap."
The little monk gently twisted his rosary beads.
"Indeed, I've been visiting this area for several days and have discovered that dozens of villages around here have become deserted. I suspect that a cult has set up a blood sacrifice formation here in an attempt to revive the willow tree demon. Of course, this is just my speculation and has not been confirmed yet."
"You're overthinking it." Ye Tingmu curled his nose and continued:
"Perhaps it's a demonic beast that eats people, let alone a fourth-level Fire Cloud Python. The surrounding villages must have been eaten by this snake."
The rest of the people nodded. They subconsciously felt that what Ye Tingmu said made some sense. After all, things like resurrection were hard to convince people.
They had never heard of it. They were not like Ye Tingmu who had traveled through time and space and would believe anything outrageous.
To them, it's legend.
Especially for the brothers and sisters of the Ye family, whatever Ye Tingmu said was the truth.
"Master Ye thinks so, and I can't help it. Let's read on and find out the truth."
"Okay, I want to see what kind of cult can resurrect the dead. This is a good skill, I have to learn it." He really thought so. If he could learn it, then he wouldn't have to worry about his family members dying in the future.
The ability to bring the dead back to life would be very popular.
The little monk was speechless when he heard him say this.
"A blood moon is in the sky, a sight that hasn't appeared in three hundred years. Something big is about to happen in Donghai Province. A time of chaos is about to begin. Amitabha."
Seeing the little monk mumbling like this, Jinghong stared with his small eyes and asked, "Brother, what is he talking about?"
"I didn't say anything, just some weird talk. Let me tell you, you should avoid provoking these monks and Taoist priests. They all have problems in their heads."
"Why?"
"People like him are all very strange. Their thoughts are different from those of ordinary people. You know, their minds are full of either Buddha or the Way of Heaven."
“Ohhh…”
The little monk had a bitter face and looked helpless. "Why are you talking so loudly? I'm still here."
What do you mean people like me are weird? Although I am a monk, I don’t believe in Buddhism.
No sleep all night.
The next morning.
The morning light shines down at dawn.
The demon hunters around started to move.
Ye Tingmu and others are no exception.
He asked someone last night, and they said they discovered that the Fire Cloud Python was likely lurking in the Black Water Pond.
This place is only a few dozen miles away from the Black Water Pond and can be reached in half a day.
The purpose of this trip is to make money. Now that I have decided not to personally escort Dongfang Qingzhu to Beimang City, I will not be able to earn the 10,000 silver coins.
He had to find a place to make up for it, so he had to get the Fire Cloud Mang.
Moreover, Duan Kong's sword last night was able to severely injure Ao Long, which also means that it was enough to kill Huoyun Mang.
My confidence increased greatly.
Two thousand taels, I'll take it.
Walking on the way to the Black Water Pond, people around him looked at him with pity. After all, they had never seen someone bring three children out to slay demons.
Natural novel tight.
"This scholar is so awesome! He killed a fourth-level monster and even dared to bring a child with him."
“The key is that I brought three, haha.”
"Look at the scholar with the highest realm in their team. He's only at the first level of Kaiyuan Realm. I guess this is his first time going out to slay demons, so I don't know how deep he is."
Beside them, a large man couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, don't underestimate this man. You can't afford to offend him."
"Why do you say that?"
"A big event happened in Willow Town last night. You should all know about it, right?"
"I heard it. Rumor has it that someone beheaded three hundred bandits from the Black Wind Valley with a single sword strike. The Black Wind Valley was completely wiped out, and the Bloody Hand Butcher died tragically on the streets."
"I think it's exaggerated. Only half of the rumors should be believed."
The big man didn't take it seriously and looked in the direction of Ye Tingmu's team with fear in his eyes.
"I saw it with my own eyes. That sword strike was done by this scholar. So do you still think he's here to make fun of you?"
"What........"
"That's true."
The news quickly spread among the team of hundreds of people.
The crowd looked at them from time to time, whispering to each other, with fear in their eyes.
And I kept a certain distance from them.
Ye Tingmu was speechless. What was wrong with these people?
He looked at Dongfang Qingzhu beside him and asked, "Is there nothing on my face?"
Dongfang Qingzhu looked confused. Why did he suddenly ask this?
"No."
"That's strange. Why are these people looking at me?" He scratched his head and said puzzledly.
"Brother, is there a possibility that you are just too handsome?"
Hearing Jinghong say this, Ye Tingmu's body trembled and he straightened his back subconsciously.
Dongfang Qingzhu covered her face and chuckled when seeing this scene.
Ye Tingmu's eyes were blurred and he sighed softly.
“Being handsome is also a kind of trouble.”
"narcissism."
"Isn't it?"
"Yes, you are handsome."
"That's right, my eldest brother is the most handsome, the most handsome in Kyushu."
"You know what I like about you, Jinghong? You always tell the truth."
"Puff~"
The group of people were talking and laughing, and the journey didn't seem so tiring.
The little monk was often amused by several people in the team, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This world is still better. It’s not like Kongling Temple, where a group of people only know how to chant scriptures, discuss Taoism, and worship Buddha.
Every day I eat steamed buns, pickles and cabbage.
Very boring.
Soon the group approached the Black Water Pond.
I saw someone in the team pointing forward and shouting.
"Look, the Yijian Gorge is ahead, and after crossing the gorge is the Black Water Pond."
Ye Tingmu looked up and saw several huge mountains rising from the ground in front of him, stretching endlessly.
From a distance, it looks like two giant dragons extending to the horizon.
And between the mountains, there is a canyon extending inward.
Ye Tingmu couldn't help but frown. Is this black water pool actually in the mountains?
The little monk said, "This is where the six sect masters killed the willow monster. Donor Ye, look, aren't the willow trees around here a little denser?"
Ye Tingmu felt around and found that the closer he got to the place, the denser the willow trees became.
The mountains and rivers before us are even more covered with willows, even from a distance.
He couldn't help but tilt his head and look at the little monk.
Could it be that what the monk said was true, and there really was a big monster in Liushu Town?
The young monk disagreed and continued, "Look at this Sword Gorge. It is said that it was created by the Qingshan Sword Sect's Qinglian Patriarch when he was young while fighting a willow monster. That's why it is also called the One Sword Gorge."
Looking up, this canyon is indeed strange. There are groups of high peaks on both sides, but the canyon appears here like this, and the two sides are unusually flat, as if it was cut out by a sword.
But this sword is so stunning.
It seems that this little monk may not have spoken nonsense.
However, he remained skeptical about the cult's resurrection of the willow demon and did not fully believe it.
After all, resurrection from the dead is against the will of heaven.
You said I believe in reincarnation, but when a person dies, it is like a light going out. Even God cannot escape the cycle of reincarnation.
If it is really possible to come back to life from the dead, then if one person can attain enlightenment, the whole family will live forever.
It's inevitably a bit absurd.
Not everyone can be like me, traveling through time and space, and having a system.
Although everyone says that there are immortals in this world, that is just a rumor. Who knows? Anyway, I have never seen one.
Those books record that the last person who ascended to the immortal world was three thousand years ago.
He even suspected that these were all nonsense.
But this is not important. As long as I study hard, breaking through the ten realms is only a matter of time. When the time comes, I will give them a try.
