Big dreamer

A few days later.

At dusk in the evening, the sun was about to set in the west, reflecting the clouds as if they were stained with blood.

The Shen family finally walked out of Qianhua County in the continuous rain, crossed Yuqian Pass and entered Yuyin County.

Shen Luo did not sit in the car to practice as usual, but drove the carriage himself. Instead, he asked the young coachman who had driven him for more than half a month to rest and sit on the other side.

The coachman's name was Wang Yuan, and he was the son of the original steward of the Shen family. When the city was destroyed, the whole family stayed in the city. Only he was brought out by Shen Huayuan at the begging of the old steward.

"Master Shenxian, is that mountain Yuqian Mountain?" Wang Yuan raised his finger and pointed to a dark, fuzzy mountain in the distance and asked.

"Yes, that's right there." Shen Luo took a look, nodded, and said.

"When I was a kid, I heard my dad tell me that this place used to be an important medicinal material producing area for the Shen family. He said that there were many elm trees growing on the mountain. When the season comes every year, the trees will be covered with sweet elm money. It looks like a trumpet. The copper coins are the same, they can be eaten raw or steamed and cooked, and anyone who eats them will be blessed with wealth," Wang Yuan said with a flash of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Yuqian... I actually ate it when I was young." Hearing this, Shen Luo couldn't help but recall the past.

"How does it taste?" Wang Yuan's eyes brightened and he asked quickly.

Seeing his expectant look, Shen Luo couldn't bear to lie to him, so he had to say: "It's been too long, I can't remember."

In fact, he did eat Yuqian rice when he was a child, but there were too many delicious things at that time. He didn't like the taste, so he didn't think it was sweet at all.

I just didn't expect that in the world a thousand years later, even such things would become unreachable delicacies.

"My dad has actually never eaten it, but every time he talks about it, it makes me salivate, but I can't imagine what it tastes like." Wang glanced at the Yuqian Mountain from a distance and said with some disappointment. .

"I remember there should be elm trees in Chunhua County, right?" Shen Luo pondered for a moment and asked.

When Wang Yuan heard this, he didn't think about why Shen Luo knew this. He just shook his head and said, "There is an old elm tree, which is more than two hundred years old. Unfortunately, it has died long ago."

After hearing this, Shen Luo fell silent.

After all, in a thousand years, Chunhua County can become a large city comparable to a state capital. What else will not change?

While the two were talking, the carriage in front of the motorcade suddenly stopped after a burst of horses. Shen Luo wrinkled his nose slightly and immediately smelled the smell of blood, and frowned.

As soon as he jumped off the carriage, he saw Shen Quan running back quickly.

"Senior Shen, go ahead and take a look, there's something going on." Shen Quan shouted from a distance, cupping his fists.

Shen Luo didn't hesitate and hurried over, but the closer he got to the front of the team, the tighter his brows became, and the bloody smell in the air became thicker.

He pushed aside the onlookers of the Shen family and saw at a glance the large blood flowers splashing on the ground. They were dark in color and had dried and scabbed. Many human stumps were scattered in the distance. The scene was extremely bloody and attracted a lot of attention. People gasped one after another, and some tribesmen ran to the side and retched.

Shen Luo looked at the severed hands and feet on the ground. Even though he was used to seeing life and death, he couldn't help but feel a little numb.

"Senior, we have done a rough inventory. There are more than ten corpses in total. Most of the people's heart, liver and internal organs are missing. It seems that they were attacked by some monster." Shen Yu stepped forward and said.

When Shen Luo heard the words, he didn't say anything. He silently leaned down, grabbed the severed hand of a young child, stared at the broken hand for a moment, then took out a yellow paper talisman from his arms and shook it in the air.

The yellow paper talisman with the mountain-passing talisman painted on it made a slight sound, but no light shone on it.

"It's not the work of monsters." Shen Luo put away the talisman, stood up and said.

"The corpse was so badly damaged that it looked like the work of an irrational monster. Why did the senior say it was not the work of a monster?" Shen Huayuan couldn't help but ask.

"I just used the mountain talisman to check, and there is no evil spirit left around. Moreover, although the corpses here are dismembered and scattered in pieces, if you look carefully, you will find the tooth marks on the broken limbs. "There are no obvious signs of the demon clan," Shen Luo said without changing his expression.

After hearing this, Shen Huayuan immediately rummaged through the stumps and quickly found an arm with tooth marks. After looking at it, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "How come this tooth mark... looks like it belongs to the human race?" ?”

Hearing this, other people also came over to check it out. After seeing it, they all exclaimed in surprise.

"Even if the human race kills people, they will not do such things as cut open the liver, heart, bones, and dismember the body. In my opinion, they most likely encountered monsters, and it is very likely that they were infected by the demonic energy and transformed from the human race. A perfect monster," Shen Luo continued.

Hearing the word "monster", the expressions of everyone in the Shen family changed slightly.

"Senior's analysis, I think it is probably the truth. If there is really a monster entrenched here, then our original plan of spending the night repairing in the town ahead may have to be changed." Shen Huayuan thought for a while and said.

"Monsters are more difficult to deal with than ordinary ghosts. We should avoid them as much as possible if we can. We will drive overnight tonight, bypassing Qingyan Town in front of us, and wait until we reach Jiuyun Mountain to rest." Shen Yu also frowned.

"That's fine." Shen Luo nodded in agreement.

As a result, everyone gathered up all the corpses on the ground and buried them. After that, they spared the Qingyan Town, which had been abandoned for many years, and left through the Ten Thousand Peach Forest outside the town.

…

Outside Qingyan Town, there are thousands of acres of peach trees.

The peach forest that should have been full of life is now dry and hardened. There are cracks and scorched black marks everywhere on the ground. All the peach trees around are completely dead. The black branches are like desperate big hands, reaching into the sky. .

Gradually, the sky darkened, and the dead trees all around were shadowy. As the Shen family walked among them, they could vaguely hear the night wind blowing through the treetops, making a whispering and whimpering sound.

Shen Luo and Shen Yu rode in a carriage together and walked at the front of the team.

"You don't need to be too nervous. It's not a good thing to be nervous for a long time." Shen Luo saw Shen Yu's expression on the side was stiff and couldn't help but remind him.

Since he began to practice the three-star demon-killing magical power and draw the star light into his body, his speed of breaking the ban in the body has greatly increased. Now he has restored the strength of the middle stage of soul condensation. His spiritual consciousness can be released a little. If there is danger approaching, he can still Be aware of it in advance.

"The habit I developed in the past, whenever I leave Chunhua City, I will always be on guard when I go outside. I can't change it." Shen Yu was startled for a moment, then smiled.
