Before Ning Caichen arrived at Qingshui County, there was someone who arrived before him.
It was Yan Chixia.
It turned out that after the reputation of Montenegro and Montenegro specialty shops spread through traveling merchants, ordinary people were just curious about how these shops could find so many stunning beauties to show up in front of them, and they wanted to come and see them with their own eyes.
But people in the Xuanmen are different.
The reputation of Black Mountain and the Black Mountain Old Demon is well-known in the Xuanmen.
However, the Xuanmen and the demon clan have always kept to themselves. If these monsters had not stepped out of their own territory and caused trouble in the human world, the Xuanmen would not easily cause trouble for them.
These unusual actions of the Black Mountain Old Demon naturally attracted the attention of the people in the Xuanmen.
Yan Chixia has always been a straightforward and strong-willed person, and he likes to travel. When he heard about this, he took the initiative to volunteer.
Before entering Qingshui County, Yan Chixia felt the evil spirit and spooky ghostly aura rising from the front.
His heart sank: Judging from the scale, this so-called Black Mountain specialty must be full of monsters and demons. He just hoped that these monsters would behave themselves.
He followed the guidance of the evil spirit and stopped in front of a shop.
This shop is huge, occupying several rooms, and is built in a very grand style. On a plaque in the middle are six large characters written in iron and silver: "Montreal delicacies from Montenegro".
Yan Chixia glanced at the words and walked into the gate.
He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, wore tight clothes, and had a long sword on his back. One could tell at first glance that he was a knight.
Most of the residents of Qingshui County live in small mountain villages all year round and rarely see this kind of thing, so they all looked over with curiosity.
Yan Chixia didn't have time to deal with them, but instead glanced around the shop.
The shop was huge, and the items were neatly arranged in grids for customers to choose from. He set his eyes on the goods and was very surprised to find that, unlike what he thought were tricks, these things were real and good stuff.
Especially the one on the east side, the tonic herbs sold there are all genuine and excellent products of excellent quality and age.
Even he himself almost couldn't help but took out money to buy something.
Yan Chixia cursed himself for being short-sighted. When he looked up, he saw a pretty girl in pink clothes staring at him at the counter.
Just as the people in the Xuanmen sect are particularly sensitive to monsters, the monsters are also particularly sensitive to these Taoists.
According to A Yu, these Taoist priests with big noses have a special sour smell on their bodies, which I can smell from a long distance away.
As soon as he saw A Yu's eyes, Yan Chixia knew that the other party had discovered his identity.
He simply walked over.
There were other customers waiting to pay next to them, and they couldn't help but shout in dissatisfaction: "Hey, young man, get in line, get in line, don't cut in line!"
Yan Chixia: “…”
A Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled.
She waved and called a puppet to help her pay the bill, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, guests. This is a distant relative of mine who came to see me. I will go and entertain him first and come back later."
When they heard that it was the boss lady's relative, the people who were dissatisfied just now immediately changed their tone:
"So he's Miss Ayu's relative. I was talking about a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, handsome and handsome!"
"Miss Ayu is so pretty. Last time, her sister was also very pretty. Now her relatives are also so handsome. They are really a family of beauties."
"… "
Yan Chixia silently watched A Yu chatting with these mortals. One could tell without even looking that she had a very good relationship with these mortals.
This puzzled him a little.
"Cousin." A clear and pleasant voice sounded in his ears.
Yan Chixia looked up and saw the little fox demon named A Yu staring at him with a smile. "We haven't seen each other for so long. Come with me in and have a cup of hot tea."
Yan Chixia didn't say anything. He watched her lift the curtain and the two of them entered the backyard.
There are people behind me sighing:
"Wow! Miss Ayu is so cheerful and loves to laugh, but her cousin is a quiet person."
As soon as she entered the backyard, the smile on A Yu's face faded. She wrinkled her nose and said, "What is this stinky Taoist doing here?"
Yan Chixia said coldly: "You Black Mountain, what are you planning by making such a big fuss?"
A Yu looked at him like he was crazy: "What's your plan? Our Black Mountain has plenty of spiritual energy. Sir, you don't want it to be wasted, so you let us grow some good things ourselves and open a shop to sell the good things in the mountain. Does that bother you?"
"Your sir? The Black Mountain Demon?"
Ah Yu's expression was originally okay, but when he heard this, his face suddenly fell. He put his hands on his waist and raised his eyebrows: "You are old! The master is in his prime, much younger than you!"
Nowadays, which girl in Montenegro is not a die-hard fan of Jiang Lin
Whoever dared to say something bad about Jiang Lin in front of them would definitely be criticized.
Yan Chixia was bullied for a bit, but he was not angry. He continued to ask his own questions: "You monsters, just stay in your own territory. Why are you stirring up trouble in human territory?"
As soon as he said this, A Yu looked at him strangely, as if he was some idiot with a brain disease.
"What you say is really strange." A Yu frowned and looked at him.
"If we just stay in our own territory and don't go out to earn money, you will pay for us to buy beautiful clothes and jewelry?"
"There are so many delicious snacks in the world, are you going to spend money to treat me to them every day?"
"I want to live in a beautiful big house. Can you help me hire workers to build it for me?"
"… "
A Yu said a lot in one breath, and finally concluded: "If we don't come out to earn money, we will have no money. If we have no money but want something, we can only steal, rob, cheat, or even harm others."
She looked at Yan Chixia with disdain in her clear eyes: "Are you trying to encourage our Black Mountain monsters to do this?"
Yan Chixia: “…”
He found himself speechless.
It’s no wonder that he is ignorant. Who has ever encountered a monster like this
He retorted in his dying breath: "But by doing this you have disturbed the order of the world."
Ayu: “???”
"Where did we cause any trouble?" A Yu didn't like to hear such words. "We are honest and fair in everything we sell at Heishan. The things in the specialty shop are all grown by me personally, and they are of first-class quality. The things in other shops are also made by the sisters who spent a lot of time, energy and hard work."
"Our charges are lower than those of other shops!"
“Absolutely great value for money!”
A Yu was very angry: "You Taoist priest, if you keep talking like this, I will call the puppets to chase you away!"
The puppets were all made by Jiang Lin himself. They had formations carved by him and a trace of his power mark on them. Their fighting power was even higher than that of A Yu and the others.
Yan Chixia couldn't argue with A Yu.
Even secretly, he felt that what the other party said seemed to... make some sense.
When a Taoist like him encounters an evil demon, he usually just rushes forward and subdues the monster with one strike of his sword.
But although the girl in front of him was a fox demon, she did not have much resentment and her murderous sins were light.
And now they are not doing any evil, they are doing business honestly.
He didn't know what to do.
After thinking for a long time, Yan Chixia snorted coldly: "We will stay in Qingshui County for a while and keep an eye on you. I hope you are as honest as you say."
Yan Chixia really settled down in Qingshui County.
He not only kept an eye on these shops, but also traveled all over Qingshui County and found out a lot of things.
This Black Mountain shop has been open for more than half a year.
The people of Qingshui County are simple and honest. In the past six months, not to mention any bizarre murders, even non-bizarre ones have not occurred.
However, in the past six months, even various petty thefts have become much less frequent.
This can also be attributed to Jiang Lin.
He told the girls in Black Mountain: Although they were forced in the past, they still had karma on their shoulders. If they can't show it now, they will know the difficulty when they go through the tribulation in the future. Do some good things now, and offset as much as you can.
So when the girls have nothing to do at night, they can hide and help the detectives patrol.
Last month, Qingshui County repaired the county road, and Jiang Lin donated a large sum of money in the name of the people of Heishan.
The more he understood, the more strange it seemed to Yan Chixia.
He initially suspected that the monsters in Black Mountain were deliberately setting up a trap.
They must be plotting a bigger conspiracy and pretending everything is fine.
But after observing for so many days, it was found that these shops in Montenegro are just ordinary shops, and there is nothing strange happening in Montenegro.
What kind of big conspiracy is this, could it be possible that it doesn't reveal any clues at all
Moreover, the mysterious "Mr. Jiang" has never shown up.
Yan Chixia was almost certain that this Mr. Jiang was the Black Mountain Demon.
He decided to go to Montenegro to take a look.
Yan Chixia rested well, drew enough talismans to save his life, and wrote a letter to his master, detailing his various discoveries in recent days and his decision to go to Black Mountain to explore.
Black Mountain is not very far from Qingshui County. With Yan Chixia's walking speed, he can reach there in just half a day.
But at this moment, he stood at the foot of the Black Mountain, looking up, stunned.
As a member of the Xuanmen sect and an authentic descendant of Taoism, he has made some progress in the Taoist technique of "observing qi".
Based on the various rumors about the Black Mountain Demon, he thought he would see a demon's lair with raging flames.
But now, what is going on with this scene in front of me, with white mist, full of spiritual energy, and faint auspicious air
The location of Xuanmen is very particular, and most of them are located in the mountains. The more sparsely populated and the more spiritual the place is, the more popular it is.
If he had not been sure that this was Black Mountain, and had not heard of any Taoist master driving away the Black Mountain old demon and occupying his mountain, Yan Chixia would have almost doubted which authentic Taoist temple this was.
With such a magnificent scene, it is impossible for the person living inside to be some evil ghost.
Yan Chixia gave up his previous thoughts and put away his prejudice.
He stood solemnly at the foot of the mountain and said in a clear voice: "Yan Chixia from Kunlun Mountain, please meet the Lord of Black Mountain."
