Laoshan Taoist

Chapter 76: Mandrill

Views:

In recent years, Laoshan's reputation has been getting bigger and bigger, and there are basically people in the surrounding counties, villages and towns, and even state capitals.

Although it was famous in the past, it was not so wide after all.

Mainly in the past two years, there have been frequent demonic incidents in various places. Today this house has encountered a ghost, and tomorrow there will be a demon in the other house. It cannot be quiet. There are many people who ask them to subdue the demon, and the name of Laoshan will naturally spread. .

When peace is safe and worry-free, the people will not think of these things, and they are too lazy to climb the mountain to even go to the incense. Now when they encounter demons, let alone invite each other with courtesy, add incense and light candles, even if they ask for money, they will never be stingy. .

Wang Yan's retreat is almost ready now, thinking that in the past few days, he will officially retreat and refine the abnormal fruit.

The refining of the exotic fruit must be more difficult than the strange flower. He doesn't know how long it will take, and whether there will be any accidents in the meantime, so he has to be careful and prepare carefully.

It's just that before the retreat, the practice still has to be the same as before.

In the morning of this day, after only one hour of inner alchemy practice, Senior Brother Zhou Shen from the Walker Academy came to the bamboo forest in the backyard to call him.

"Junior Brother Wang, there's work to be done. At the foot of the mountain, in Linjia Village, Ning'an County, there was a demon who kidnapped children. The villagers went up to the mountain this morning to ask for help. We are already going down the mountain, how about it? Are you interested in going together?"

Wang Yan closed his eyes and opened his eyes. Hearing this, he looked up at him.

Their cultivation and Taoism, even if they are disturbed when they enter the meditation on weekdays, as long as they are not breaking the realm, they are not enough to go crazy, so they have no scruples.

"Senior brother! To be honest, junior brother is planning to retreat recently. I'm afraid it will be difficult to distract, so let's not go this time!"

"The Guard is Here"

Wang Yan smiled and politely refused.

Just because he had to practice flying swordsmanship before, whenever there was an errand to go down the mountain to slay demons, he would go with his senior brothers.

After going back and forth like this, the two sides are familiar with each other. Generally, whenever he encounters this kind of errand, the brothers will basically come and call him.

"That's it! That's fine, it's up to you!"

Zhou Shen nodded, expressing his understanding, and turned to leave.

It's just that he just walked away, but Xun Qi rushed over immediately.

"Junior Brother Wang, Master has something to ask you to come down the mountain. Boss Cao, who cooperated with us in Ning'an County, resold a batch of medicinal pills to them a few days ago. Master, let you go over and take a look."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yan's heart was slightly startled.

Taoist temples also need financial resources to support them. All disciples must eat. This has been mentioned in the previous article. Incense alone is not enough. Subduing demons and eliminating demons is part of it, and the bulk is still in medicine pills.

There is a pharmacy in Ning'an County, and they cooperate with them specially. The pure medicinal herbs refined by Wang Yan and his senior brothers will be put into practical use through the hands of middlemen to cure diseases and save people and benefit the people.

They don't show up much in these transactions, and they are all handled by middlemen, but if there is a problem, they will find them to solve it.

"Okay! I see."

Although a little helpless, Wang Yan agreed.

There are only four disciples who are proficient in Dan Tao in their Chaoyang Courtyard. Senior Brother Zhuge Changshou has not returned to his hometown to visit relatives. Senior Brother Yun Zhongliu developed a new elixir a few days ago.

The efficacy of Lingdan and pure pills cannot be generalized. Various elements are added to Lingdan, which is specially refined for practitioners, while pure pills are made from some healing medicinal materials, which are less dangerous and serve the common people. .

The medicine that Wang Yan tried before was pure elixir, but now Yun Zhongliu has tried the elixir by himself, and his courage is commendable.

Xun Qi wanted to take care of him, and it was his duty to take care of him this time.

It just so happens that the two senior brothers from the Walker Academy are also going to Ning'an County. Now that they have not gone far, they can go with them together.

Immediately after some preparations, Wang Yan picked up his sword and chased after Zhou Shen and Xiao Kui.

There are only three senior brothers with relatively high cultivation in the Xingzhe Academy. The other senior brother Chen likes to be alone. He has neither advantages nor disadvantages. Xiao Kui and Zhou Shen are partners, and naturally they are inseparable.

Although two new disciples have been added in the past few years, their cultivation is not enough, and even Li Sheng can't catch up. To let them go to subdue demons is undoubtedly a death sentence.

Lin Tiegen came to ask for help, one was Lin Tiegen, and the other was Lin Daniu who accompanied him. Both of them had children kidnapped by monsters, and Lin Tiegen had seen the monster and could describe it.

At this time on the road, Lin Tiegen told them all about the situation, including the monster's appearance, which was quite detailed.

Hearing this, Zhou Shen frowned slightly and pondered.

"According to what you said, the monster's face is terrifying, its body is huge, but it looks like an ape, so it seems that it is somewhat similar to a mandrill."

After a while, he seemed to have thought of something and speculated.

"That's right! That's what I thought too. The mandrill we killed in Dongchang Mansion had the same shape and appearance, and it also captured human beings, but that mandrill was only captured by women."

Xiao Kui, who was beside him, couldn't help but agree at this moment.

"Senior brother, what kind of monster is the mandrill you speak of?"

Hearing this, Wang Yan was also a little confused and couldn't help asking.

Regarding the mandrill, he only knew that it was a kind of monkey primate, and he knew very little about the rest. Is this monster now a mandrill

Looking at him, Zhou Shen calmly introduced him.

"The so-called mandrill here is not the same as the monkey animals seen by the world. It is a monster that exists in the deep mountains. Because it has only one leg, it is also called a 'one-legged ghost'."

"Mandrills are promiscuous and can spit out a kind of yellow mist. They are specially designed to confuse women for fun. Mandrills with advanced cultivation are proficient in the art of transformation. They are also called 'Five Ability Spirits' by the people. Moreover, mandrills like to eat the brains of children and kidnap women. Tong is not a strange thing, but right now it's just a guess, what the specific situation is, we still have to see the monster to find out!"

As soon as he said these words, both Lin Tiegen and Lin Daniu suddenly changed color. According to this, their children had already died in Huangquan.

In an instant, he covered his face and cried again, extremely sad.

"People have bad luck and good fortune, and things have come to this point. You don't have to be too sad. When you see that evildoer, the poor road will definitely cut the grass and root out the roots, and avenge the two of you."

Xiao Kui was upright and didn't know how to comfort him, so he said what was in his mind at the moment.

"You are an impulsive person. You have said that you will not change how many times you are brave. If you go on like this, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later."

Zhou Shen glanced at him and complained a few words.

"Hey! I, Xiao Kui, have never been aggressive in my life. Why do all the brothers and sisters in my view think that I love to fight fiercely? I will do my best to get rid of evil! You should all know this truth. If you talk like this, you really wronged me, Xiao. "

Xiao Kui sighed helplessly and shook his head, disapproving of his complaints.
