Chapter 838 Beiliao Town (Second Update)
Most of the practitioners of the Zhongyou Dynasty practice ghost techniques, and their training resources also come from this huge Yin Spring.
The Yin Spring of Zhongyou Dynasty is the only connection between the human world and the underworld.
As the summer and winter came and went, the Zhongyou Dynasty became a place that ordinary people and most practitioners avoided.
Bailian felt that the secluded place was very intimate.
Because his mother...is there.
Therefore, when he was fourteen years old, it could be said that it was the first time he truly set foot in the world.
The long sword his father gave him is a treasure named 'Quansheng'.
The storage bag contains a lot of changes of clothes, money, and spiritual stones for cultivation.
The elixir for healing and recovery when injured, the most conspicuous one is a square crystal stone. The crystal stone Balian has seen this object in "The Book of Hundred Spirits".
This crystal is called the teleportation stone and is used to save lives during duels.
This crystal has always been a pair. As long as one of them is crushed, the owner of the crystal will be teleported to the owner of the other crystal in an instant, no matter how far away it is.
Seeing this, Balian smiled knowingly. Although his father boldly allowed him to explore the world alone, in fact, he had already made a foolproof plan.
The clothes among them do not look like the sect clothes of the Tianxi Sword Sect.
Bailian thought that this might be an ordinary piece of clothing, otherwise the Tianxi Sword Sect’s clothing would be too eye-catching.
After all, as soon as he got off the top of the mountain, he saw many farmers or women in gray clothes paying attention to him and saluting.
Due to his personality since he was a child, Baili An likes to be quiet and dislikes being watched like this, so he found a hidden place and changed his Tianxi Sword Sect clothes into ordinary white clothes. He was careful He also didn't forget to take off the hair crown engraved with the Tianxi Sword Sect's exclusive sword emblem on his head, and replaced it with an ordinary hair tie to tie it up casually.
In this way, they are not much different from the ordinary people at the foot of the mountain.
Having said that, although Bailian did not inherit his parents' talent, he did inherit their parents' outstanding appearance.
He is in his youth, and although his body has not yet fully grown, he has beautiful features, fair skin, and his eyes are particularly bright due to the aura tainted by his practice. Coupled with a long sword, He looks like a handsome young man.
Naturally, it attracted shy looks from many farm girls.
In the human world, there are not many people who get married at the age of fourteen without the matter of cultivation.
Bailian is a young man raised by Lingshan Xiushui. As soon as he was born, these girls naturally watched silently with spring, and even attracted many strong women to shine in their eyes, wanting to see this good-looking boy. Lang was forcibly tied up and taken home to be his son-in-law.
It is said that unruly people come out of remote areas, so naturally, Balian encountered troubles from bride snatchers.
Fortunately, he had some cultivation skills and showed his hands casually, thus giving up the idea of these strong women.
Although he wanted to travel down the mountain, Bailiyu didn't give him a clear goal for where to travel.
But both father and son knew in their hearts that he would definitely go to Zhongyou.
However, Baituo Mountain is separated from the Zhongyou Dynasty by thousands of mountains and rivers, and Bai Lian can only reach the first-level realm of seeking Taoism, and he cannot fly with a sword.
I can only buy a good horse and hit the road.
Although he is a fourteen-year-old boy, it is obviously very difficult for him to mount a horse with his current height, but this is obviously not a difficult task for practitioners.
Moreover, he had been practicing horseback riding and archery under his father's instruction since he was a child, so he was naturally very proficient.
He whispered a few words into the horse's ear, and even the most stubborn horse was easily trained to be obedient by him, which shocked Boss Ma.
So, when Bai Lian was the youngest, he carried a sword on his shoulder, the reins in hand and a horse on his hip, and just walked out of the foot of the mountain governed by Baituo Mountain.
However, Balian soon discovered a very serious problem.
He has never been out of Baituo Mountain and has no idea how to get to Zhongyou!
This is not flying with a sword, just choose a direction and fly straight towards it.
He had to walk through the rainforest, cross the wooden bridge, and climb the mountains.
But it seems that his father did not give him a map...
Bailian pondered for a long time on horseback, and found to his distress that he had to do what he hated most, which was talking to people. Ask for directions.
But he has already walked through the area under the jurisdiction of Baituo Mountain, and he is now in a place with no village in front of him or any store behind him.
Except for one person and one horse, there is nothing else but mountains and trees, the occasional howl of wolves and the chirping of bright insects.
Bailian sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to dismount, feed the horse well, let the horse rest for a while, and then continued on the road along the mountain trail.
He usually sleeps very rarely, only sleeping for an hour every day.
So even though the moon and stars are sparse and everything is quiet at this moment, he still moves forward tirelessly.
With Ma'er's efforts, Balian finally saw a small town.
Bailian's immature face was slightly raised, and he looked at the word "Bei Liao Town" in front of his head. A happy smile appeared on his immature face, and he tucked the horse's belly with his legs and entered the town.
There are many entrances in the town, but there are very few residents. Even the vendors setting up stalls are weak in their calls.
Even in their eyes, there was a faint look of sadness.
Bailian was very puzzled. This Beiliao Town seemed much more developed and prosperous than the rural tribes he had seen along the way.
But why are the people here so downcast?
Fortunately, Balian has a calm temper. If it were any other young man with martial arts skills and passion, he would have been unable to resist and would have dismounted and captured someone to find out.
But Bailian heard the tired snoring of the horse beneath him, so he first found an inn, placed the horse in a comfortable stable, and fed it some fodder.
I also took a refreshing hot bath and changed into clean clothes before going downstairs and ordering some food.
Bailian was eating his first dinner in the world. He placed a silver ingot on the table and motioned to the waiter to take it.
Sure enough, the second brother, who had a tired face and couldn't bring himself to have any energy, suddenly lit up his eyes and quickly picked up the silver ingot.
With a smile on his face, he said: "I have noticed how extraordinary the young master is the moment he walked in. He can tame such a strong horse and make it obedient at such a young age. He must have excellent riding skills. I admire him." I admire him.
Does the young master want to inquire about people or things? "The young master said everything." Brother, I admire you so much.
I think this person can communicate so easily and smoothly with people he doesn’t know, and he is a master. He coughed lightly and asked nervously: "Then... I am named An in Baili, with the courtesy name Zangfeng. I have just come to Guibao Land, and there are many things I don't understand. I hope my second brother can help me clear up my doubts."
This time, it was the waiter's turn to be stunned, because this was the first time that he asked someone so kindly after seeing someone reward him with money, without any pretentiousness.
However, as a result, the waiter also had a great impression of the young man, and responded with a smile: "If there is anything you don't understand, young master, just ask."
Bailian grew up in There are many people in the sect who are ridiculed and ridiculed by the disciples in the dark. Even when they face their father, they mostly treat him with a cold face. Very few people talk to him so kindly.
Of course, at this time, Balian didn’t know that most of the waiter’s pleasant appearance came from the silver ingot he gave him.
"Well, when I first entered Beiliao Town, why did I see everyone in the town looking sad, but there was no white silk hanging anywhere in the town. Obviously nothing happened. Heart-wrenching things.
But why are everyone in the town so depressed? Even the second brother, you... were listless just now. What happened in the town? "
The smiling waiter twitched his face, and his face that was forcing a smile fell down as if he thought of something sad. He sighed for a long time.
"This matter said It's a long story. Young Master, would you mind sitting down and talking to you in detail? "
Bailian nodded hurriedly and moved the chair out of the table for him.
After the second brother sat down, he poured himself a cup of tea very familiarly and took a swig. , as if to swallow the bad breath in his chest.
He said with hatred on his face: "Young master, you don't know something. Our town has been plagued by evil spirits recently..."
Bailian said in a daze: "Evil evil spirits? Where do you start talking about this?"
>
This is not surprising to him, because he is a practitioner and can sense evil spirits, monsters and even ghost spirits.
But so far since he entered the town, he has not noticed anything strange.
The second brother sighed and said: "Alas, just a month ago, the daughters-in-law of every household in our town disappeared inexplicably."
Balian's eyes were solemn: "Brother, please continue."
"At first, the daughter-in-law of Mr. Wu's family, who was selling pig heads on the street, disappeared at night. At that time, we didn't take anything seriously. After all, the daughter-in-law of the Wu family is famous for being coquettish..."
This second brother is obviously a talkative person, and he can't stop talking once he starts talking.
When he said the word "coquettish", he suddenly realized that the person sitting next to him was still a child. This didn't seem good.
But Bailian's face remained normal, as if there was nothing unusual about those two words, and he said calmly: "What then? Has the Wu family's daughter-in-law not come back yet?"
What a simple child.
Looking at those clear eyes, the second brother smiled awkwardly and continued: "The daughter-in-law of the Wu family has always been a coquettish and wild woman, and she often hooks up with men.
But her family has such a bad attitude. The man has a weak character and would not even dare to kill a pig.
It is said that a son inherits his father's legacy, but he does. Fortunately, he was idle all day long, not doing his job, and all the work of killing pigs fell on his wife.
In this regard, he never mentioned his wife's idea. At first, his wife Wang Chunhua disappeared and we didn't. He took it too seriously and just treated it as a daily affair. He went to another town to find food and came back after a few days.
I never thought that it would never appear again. Nowadays, the Wu family's pigs are all strong but no one kills them. Old man Wu is old, and killing pigs is a laborious job. Although he has the intention, he doesn't have the strength anymore. "
Uh... why did Xie Sui talk about killing pigs? Bailian coughed lightly and asked: "Then what? Did Old Han Wu’s wife never come back? "
"Isn't it? It's been two months and I still haven't returned. Only then did Mr. Wu and his family realize that something was wrong, and later they told everyone about it.
Only then did I realize that in the past two months, in addition to his daughter-in-law, married women from other families also often disappeared for no reason. "
Bailian frowned and said: "So it should be a case of missing persons, but why are some married women missing? How can you conclude that there is something evil going on? ”
"Yeah, at first everyone thought they were dirty human traffickers who came to our town and reported the case.
But when I thought about it carefully, I felt something was wrong. Why do these traffickers who kill thousands of people only kidnap those adults?
There are so many virgins in the town that they are all intact. . "
Speaking of this, the second brother suddenly lowered his tone: "Until one day, the stupid scholar from the Zhang family got up to relieve himself in the middle of the night and saw a shocking scene. "
Bailian also. Involuntarily following his movements, she moved closer and lowered her voice and asked, "What did he see?"
There was fear in the eyes of the younger brother, with a hint of hatred, and he shook his body and said: "Shusheng Zhang saw a burly and strong monster with a human body and a pig's head sneaking into his home silently that night. He was frightened. Hiding in the Mao He didn't dare to go back to his room all night, and even that night, his wife didn't disappear."
Bailian thought for a while and said, "You mean...this is the pig demon's trouble. ?”
The younger brother nodded and said: "Yes, the next day Shusheng Zhang told the whole town what he saw with his own eyes. The pig demon abducted people and was not careful in what he did.
As soon as he said this, Many people said they had seen the pig demon, and then things got out of hand.
When the pig demon knew that his identity was exposed, he became more and more unscrupulous and came out to cause harm to people during the day.
Although he does not kill people, he will forcibly abduct married women.
After two months, he took away all the old women in our town, whether they were old women who had been married for many years, or young newlyweds, and would not return them. Even..."
< br>After saying this, the second brother, a seven-foot-tall man, had tears rolling down his eyes: "Even my little wife who just passed away was kidnapped by the pig demon. ”
Bailian felt relieved for a while when he saw that he was so sad.
No wonder, no wonder everyone in this town is dejected, and except for young girls, the female adult town It is extremely rare for people to do so.
But this pig demon's character is really deformed. He doesn't pick anything, and just packs up everything he gets married.
An old woman who has been married for many years can be in her seventies or eighty, and a newlywed young lady can be as old as him. The difference between them is not a small one.
Bailian came to the conclusion that this was a very hungry pig demon.
“This pig demon is really hateful!” Balian sighed angrily.
The second brother clenched his fist and said: "No! He just kidnapped the woman, even the woman who was still in confinement not long after giving birth to the child.
There are so many babies in the town who are crying for food and have no milk to support them. They can only drink goat milk. The poorer families can only drink dog milk. It is really sad and tearful! "
Bailian's expression changed, and he said: "I remember climbing over the hill in front of the town, and walking three hundred miles further is Baituo Mountain. There is a sect of cultivating immortals on Baituo Mountain. Why don't you Go there for help? "
The second brother said dejectedly: "Why didn't we think of this? It's just that the pig demon was really cunning. Knowing that his identity was exposed, he gave everyone in our town a slap on the wrist.
As soon as we leave Beiliao Town, we will have a splitting headache, nausea and dizziness, and we will not be able to go very far. ”
