The ninth day of the first lunar month.
Sun Mingcheng, the acting city lord of Lifeng City, hurried out of the city on a one-horned spotted leopard.
There are more than ten cultivators following him out of the city. Most of these ten cultivators are in the Yuanying stage, and only two are in the out-of-body stage.
A group of people walked in a hurry, with extremely bad expressions, as if something important had happened.
At this time, the sky was only slightly bright, and the people who had carnivaled all night were still asleep.
Last night when the people in Lifeng City enjoyed the fireworks, a remote village less than ten miles away from Lifeng City was destroyed overnight. But none of the powerful men in Lifeng City noticed it.
The small village is called Ding'an Village, and there are only thirty-six people in the whole village.
Ding'an Village is located in a remote mountain, with a cliff on one side and a dense forest on the other. Villagers living in Ding'an Village need to walk for two hours to reach the nearest neighboring village.
In such a remote Ding'an village, there is no need for people to come and go for several months. If it wasn't for the Spring Festival, and there happened to be visiting relatives, and there happened to be disciples returning home in the nearby villages, I am afraid that the news would not have reached Changsun Mingcheng's ears in just one night.
When Changsun Mingcheng and his party arrived at Ding'an Village, the village was already scorched black, and there were no colors other than black.
Everyone hurriedly dismounted from their mounts, inspected the village, and looked for living people.
The eldest grandson Mingcheng sat on the one-horned spotted spirit leopard, his brows were tightly frowned, and he did not speak.
"It's the traces of demonic cultivation. These blacks are not from fire, but corrosive demonic energy." A young man with Nascent Soul cultivation base inspected the pieces of wood that had turned into black charcoal, and made a preliminary judgment.
"The technique is like... Feiyungu." Lu Daoren, who was already out of his body, murmured, and he was not very confident after speaking, "But, this cultivation level is wrong. Isn't the smiling face and white head the middle stage of the magic baby? This magic energy is clearly coming out. It’s time for the awakening. Although the realm is not stable, it should not be long after breaking through.”
They have all heard about Feiyun Valley.
At that time, Changsun Mingcheng and others were tracking down the traces of the demon generals and were alert to the movements of the demon emperor, so they didn't pay much attention to the idle demon cultivators who were only in the infant stage of the demon with smiling faces and white heads.
It is said that because Feiyun Valley is too far away, the content of the report is seriously inaccurate. After many elders of the Liangji sect went around the rescue mission, none of the elders were willing to take it, which led to the tragedy.
Because there was no elder to take over, the head of the Liangji Sect couldn't even find a person who was punished, so he could only let the matter go.
As for the smiling face and white hair, he was put on the reward list without pain or itching. The bounty was impartially set at 300,000 high-grade spirit stones, which was about the same price as other magic cultivators who slaughtered villages and refined corpses.
But the matter of Feiyun Valley has not been half a year.
In less than half a year, the smiling face and white head broke through from the middle stage of the magic baby to the out-of-body stage. No matter how you think about it, it feels incredible.
"It must be the soul-inducing banner! At that time, the Liangji sect should have believed Feiyungu's words. They shouldn't despise them just because their smiling face and white hair are not high." When something like this happened, I couldn't help but blame the Liangjimen for their inaction.
Lu Daoren was very disgusted with Yuan Jianxiu's second-guessing behavior, and said mockingly, "Feiyungu came to report, but at that time, someone pointed at his distress letter and yelled at him, talking nonsense, nonsense."
"How much better are you, old donkey than I am? Didn't you..." Yuan Jianxiu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by acting city lord Sun Ming Chengcheng.
"Stop arguing." Changsun Mingcheng rubbed his forehead.
It's really sad that something like this happened during the Spring Festival.
But both Feiyun Valley and Ding'an Village are small remote places with a large number of mortals. Compared to the Demon Emperor's ambition to invade the Cultivator's Continent, and compared to the fugitive monsters who have committed evil in the big city many times, the matter of Ding'an Village is really not ranked.
Even if he is filled with anger now, he will still be occupied by other new emergencies when he returns to the city.
Everyone's energy is limited.
What the perpetrator committed in a single stick of incense time required a number of orthodox practitioners to run back and forth for ten days and a half months. Even if the truth is found out after a lot of hardships, everyone may not catch the murderer who has escaped.
Not to mention that cultivators pay attention to the cycle of cause and effect.
People who believe in cause and effect often use cause and effect to cover up their laziness, thinking that if they wait a little longer, they will be able to wait for the way of heaven to clean up those villains who harm others.
Therefore, even if there are many practitioners of the righteous way, there are more practitioners who can't stand it and have nothing to do with themselves. As one goes up and down, there are fewer people who are willing to take on the task and run errands.
Changsun Mingcheng thought for a moment before deciding: "Collect the demonic energy and report it to the Lord Shangguan."
That is Shangguan Zhuqing.
"City Lord Changsun, think twice." Yuan Jianxiu immediately objected.
"That's right. Please think twice on behalf of the city lord." Even Lu Daoren, who was at odds with Yuan Jianxiu, persuaded him, "Even if you enter the country with a smiley face and a white head and suddenly rise to the level of out-of-body cultivation, you, the city lord, are in a distraction period."
If it is reported, it means that the acting city lord of Lifeng City cannot deal with a magic cultivator lower than himself. This greatly reduced their face in Lifeng City.
The rest of the worshipers in Lifeng City also persuaded the grandson Mingcheng to think twice.
"You don't need to persuade me, I've made up my mind on this matter." Changsun Mingcheng knew that everyone was still puzzled, and continued to explain, "Smiling and whiteheads dare to be so arrogant, there must be something behind them."
"At that time, the smiling face and white head was in the Nascent Soul stage, and the owner of Feiyun Valley had just broken through to the out-of-body stage, and the owner of Feiyun Valley still had a very detailed understanding of the smiling face and white head. Everyone felt that the owner of Feiyun Valley made a fuss, and in order to rescue and exaggerate the situation.”
"But what the result is, everyone knows."
Hearing what Changsun Mingcheng said, everyone was thoughtful.
Changsun Mingcheng continued: "I don't think a smiling face and a white head would be so stupid as to strike a stone with an egg."
"He took action in our Lifeng City's sphere of influence, and left such obvious traces of evil, obviously he wanted to provoke our Lifeng City and the Liangji Gate behind us."
Changsun Mingcheng asked everyone, "A demon cultivator who deliberately provokes forces stronger than himself, can there be no conspiracy behind it?"
"Reporting this matter is just embarrassing, but if it is not handled properly, it is a major event for the people of Quanli Fengcheng to be buried with them." Of course the eldest grandson Mingcheng knew that it was embarrassing, but he just felt a faint sense of unease in his heart.
If he doesn't report the matter, he will regret his restlessness for a lifetime.
Even if their matter is just a shadow of a snake, the news can be reported a day earlier, so that the Shangguan family will not be in a dazed and passive state.
Not to mention, with the matter of Feiyungu in front of him, he was already a demon cultivator on the reward list. The demon-killing deacons specially raised by the Shangguan family will no longer turn a blind eye.
"Speaking of which, there is still a survivor in Feiyun Valley, right? Let's ask him for news?" Yuan Jianxiu said suddenly.
"It's just a ten-year-old child, and his spiritual root has been abolished. How much can he know. Don't want to waste time, right?" Daoren Lu immediately objected.
If there is really any important content, the Liangji Gate has already asked, why is it like this now.
Changsun Mingcheng also felt that he shouldn't go, "Now is the busiest time in Lifeng City, and there is a shortage of manpower. If there is anything, the Liangji Gate should have finished asking. We just ask someone to get a record."
Yuan Jianxiu was extremely persistent this time, "City Master Changsun. You just said that you are so rampant with a smiling face and white hair, there must be something behind it. But the Liangjimen despised the matter of Feiyungu, so they wouldn't care about that orphan .”
"There are also a lot of doubts about Feiyungu's exaggerated rescue letter. People will indeed make things more serious at the critical moment of life, but how much Feiyungu exaggerated will make the Liangji sect at that time not understand after reading the letter. Care?"
"Yuan believes that it is very necessary to take this trip." Yuan Jianxiu said solemnly.
"It makes sense." Changsun Mingcheng nodded after listening, and arranged: "Then Hall Master Yuan, let's go."
Mo Shulin and White jade tea could only leave the clinic after drinking the morning dose of medicine.
The street was still crowded with people, full of voices. But after yesterday's latrine incident, Mo Shulin felt that any food he saw was poisonous.
Mo Shulin refused to eat any food other than Bigu Pill.
Even if White jade tea said that he would never get a stomachache if he only took a sip, Mo Shulin still resolutely resisted.
Without Mo Shulin's support, White jade tea only felt that the fun was lost by half.
Although he should eat and drink, nothing has changed.
Lifeng City is very active in encouraging marriage between men and women.
Along the way, White jade tea found three or four activity areas targeting young men and women.
Like the lantern riddle area I saw yesterday, there is also the wishing tree full of wishes of male and female believers, or guessing games where masks are matched with each other tacitly, and answering games to help understand the object.
Influenced by the cultivator's love concept of a couple for a lifetime, although ordinary people insist on the matchmaker's words, they are not opposed to free love.
It's just that mortals have a limited lifespan. If you can't find a true love lover when you are young, your parents and city lord will take certain measures to urge marriage and foster childbirth.
White jade tea watched the answering game for two rounds, and felt that the answering game was simple and interesting. The full score award was the 20% discount on the top floor of the most famous Quanjia Building in Lifeng City. With this quota, you can also order delicacies that Quanjialou can't usually make an appointment for.
White jade tea was instantly conquered by the name of the menu written by Quan Jialou.
This event is limited to one man and one woman, and they have to go on stage in person and answer questions in front of the neighbors.
Girls can wear veils or bamboo hats, but they must wear an unmarried girl bun to ensure that they are not married. And the man must show his face so that everyone can see who is on stage.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it would be embarrassing to answer the wrong question.
Not to mention, if the two don't get married in the end, today's stage will be a forbidden area for quarreling with the next one.
Therefore, no matter how generous the rewards are, there are still a small number of real couples who go to participate.
But the rewards are plentiful, but there are many fake couples who go on stage together to get the rewards.
At first, Changsun Mingcheng wanted to withdraw this event, but later found that some fake couples actually recited their true feelings because they recited the questions, and unexpectedly became a few couples. But real couples want a fig leaf, and if they marry another in the future, there is still an excuse for fake couples to get rewards.
In the end, Changsun Mingcheng did not cancel the event.
The main reason is that the cost of activities is not high.
White jade tea looked at the rules of the event, and then he turned his attention to Mo Shulin, who was only ten years old beside him.
"You want to go?" Mo Shulin felt White jade tea's gaze and asked in confusion.
White jade tea nodded, with a little expectation in his eyes.
He and Mo Shulin are as smart as they are, and how familiar they are with each other day and night, if they just scan the questions, they won the grand prize. Then those Quanjia Roast Duck, Spicy Soft Tofu, Lifeng Vinegar Fish, Huangfu Steamed Meat Cake, etc. all fell into his mouth.
Mo Shulin raised his head to indicate that this event required a man and a woman to participate.
"Don't worry. The fairy rabbit has its own tricks." White jade tea showed a firm smile.
After a stick of incense.
A handsome young man in dark blue and holding a sword, and a pretty girl in white with a white veil quietly came to the scene and signed up.
