Chapter 532: Ghost State Customs
Leng Ningshuang was about to walk in carelessly, not caring at all about the big word "凶" on the stone tablet. However, Li Yanmo did not act immediately. He glanced at the territory of the fierce demon tribe and then at the stone tablet in front of him.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yanmo turned around immediately.
Leng Ningshuang naturally didn't think that Li Yanmo was afraid, so she quickly followed him and asked, "Brother Li, did you find anything?"
"It's not like I discovered anything, but I'm a little surprised why there's no one guarding this demon-suppressing pass."
"That's because there's no need to worry about the evil demons crossing this border."
Li Yanmo pinched his chin, thought for a moment and asked, "Although the word 'Xiao Yao Clan' begins with 'Xiao', they are demons, not monster beasts, and they know what to do and what not to do."
"Of course, even though the monsters were arrogant in the past, they are very smart and know who to offend and who not to offend," Leng Ningshuang raised her finger and shook it left and right. "The ruler of this world is the Dayu Dynasty. If we piss off the Dayu Dynasty, we will really face a catastrophe. On the contrary, the Taoist sect looks united, but they are all two-faced. It is impossible for them to unite and wipe out the monsters."
"So the demons are only arrogant in front of Taoist monks, but are quite well behaved in front of Dayu. Sometimes they even try to show goodwill to Dayu by undermining the arrogance of Taoist monks."
This is the biggest difference between demons and monsters.
When monsters transform into human form, they not only have the same appearance as humans, their way of thinking is no different from that of humans. However, monsters are still influenced by their animal nature, and coupled with the three thoughts of greed, anger, and ignorance, monsters and unusual wild beasts can easily get out of control, so they must be heavily guarded.
But no matter what, it's not necessary to just erect a monument.
Not to mention that the word "凶" on the monument is facing Guizhou, so who is it trying to scare?
Seeing Li Yanmo's thoughtful expression, Leng Ningshuang knew that Li Yanmo had some ideas, so she didn't urge him to go to the territory of the fierce demon tribe quickly. Instead, she put her hands behind her back like a young man who came to travel, whistling and admiring the scenery along the road.
The Xiong Yao tribe was located between Guizhou and Juezhou. To reach the Xiong Yao tribe, they had to cross the entire Guizhou. Guizhou was a truly large state. It would take a long time for a Yuanying stage cultivator to cross the state, so they had been sitting in the carriage all the way. Although they would look at the scenery outside the window, with the speed of the carriage, they could only see lines of various colors.
After walking for about half an hour, Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang arrived at a town called Yinmu Town.
The layout of Yinmu Town is similar to that of Luoyang Town. It takes an ordinary person a month to take a horse carriage along the road heading north to reach Sanmu City, which is similar to Risheng City.
The buildings here follow the consistent style of Ghost State and are all made of fine wood, but their shapes are completely like large coffins. No matter how many people there are, they cannot conceal the gloomy atmosphere.
The residents all had pale faces, and although they were walking under the sun, they still felt a little cold.
When Li Yanmo first arrived in Guizhou, he felt that the architectural style here was very gloomy and he didn't want to stay, so he didn't deliberately observe the people of Guizhou. Now, the more he looks, the more he feels something is wrong.
Leng Ningshuang noticed the strange look in Li Yanmo's eyes, and leaned over to whisper in Li Yanmo's ear, "Brother Li, these people are native to Guizhou, so don't give them strange looks. It's impolite."
"Of course I do."
Although he agreed verbally, Li Yanmo always felt something was strange, so he sent a message to Nuyao in the Foundation Building Tower, asking her to check out the situation. Nuyao's answer made Li Yanmo suddenly feel a chill.
"There are no living people here."
"Are you sure there are no living people here?" Li Yanmo asked immediately.
Although their cultivation was in a mess, Li Yanmo asked himself if he was still able to judge whether the other party was a living person. Although these Guizhou people were pale, their blood was surging in their bodies, and they were obviously living people.
Nv Yao poked her head out, looked around, and her sight fell on the person from Guizhou who was closest to her. "This blood and qi... is from a living person, but the karma on this person is too heavy. He doesn't look like a living person at all. He looks more like a ghost."
After observing for a while, Nv Yao also became a little uncertain.
"It feels a little off. It seems like the Great Wilderness Sect, but not entirely. Do you have any way to get the golden elixir or Nascent Soul from this sect?"
"The Ghost Sect's disciple's Golden Core and Nascent Soul? That shouldn't be a difficult task," Li Yanmo pinched his chin and thought for a while before nodding.
Surrendering and confiscation does not mean that all previous actions will be wiped out, so many disciples of super sects have been thrown into prison, including the Ghost Sect. It is not difficult to capture two people at random.
But there is a more convenient way.
While waiting for someone, Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang decided to go to a restaurant and eat while waiting. With their level of cultivation, they could have practiced fasting long ago, but eating is a normal human nature, and they are not a fasting sect.
But when the restaurant brought the rice, Li Yanmo lost all appetite.
Two pitch-black chopsticks stood upright on the crystal clear rice. Even though it was steaming, Li Yanmo still felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Li Yanmo looked elsewhere. Regardless of whether there were guests or not, there was food on every table, and chopsticks were placed upright on all the rice.
Even Leng Ningshuang paused for a few seconds before pulling down the chopsticks and started eating as if nothing had happened.
During the period, customers came in from time to time. They did not greet the store owner and went straight to find a seat to eat. The waiter did not pay any attention to them. Everyone was doing their own thing.
Li Yanmo ate his meal in a subtle mood. It was not that he was afraid of ghosts. There were two female ghosts living in his foundation-building platform.
In the world of cultivating immortals, ghosts were an element that had to be evaluated, but this strange atmosphere of not knowing whether they were alive or dead made him feel quite uncomfortable.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the food, and I didn't realize I was eating toad worms while eating.
Soon the person Li Yan was waiting for arrived.
Xiao Yun clasped his hands together and said respectfully, "Master——"
"Come on, sit down and eat together," Li Yanmo waved with a smile.
"Okay—" Xiao Yun's eyes lit up and he sat down with anticipation.
Soon a bowl of rice with chopsticks was placed in front of Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun was silent for a few seconds, then looked around and his expression suddenly became strange.
He had heard people talk about Guizhou, but he only knew that the customs of Guizhou were strange. He didn't expect them to be so strange that it was creepy.
The shadow of the Eight Desolate Emperor emerged from behind Xiao Yun. He was extremely surprised by the customs of Ghost State, and he quickly noticed the abnormalities of the people of Ghost State.
"What the hell is going on in this ghost state?"
