I can see the book of life and death

Many people think the situation in Jianyi is pretty good. At least the Wang family and the Li family think this situation is pretty good.

Zhang Mingtu already felt that there were many problems.

Many residents went to the city, selling firewood and charcoal, and many more came to the city to borrow money because their families were in distress and could not handle the cooking.

These are basically people who have sold off their family property and have no special skills.

In the past, these people were nameless, invisible and unnoticed, but now a heavy snowfall has made these people who have sunk to the bottom emerge. Forced to make a living, they have to survive everywhere.

It's just a short-term heavy snow now, which doesn't seem very embarrassing, but it will become more and more terrifying as it goes on.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra ranks among the best in the world, and it is definitely not easy to practice on the ranking list.

However, Zhang Mingtu only relied on ten years of accumulation in Jianyi, and under the corresponding interference from the wealthy gentry, he basically did not have many external things, only the salary of Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi and the pills provided by daily practice.

In this way, after Zhang Mingtu overthrew the wealthy gentry families such as Wang and Li, he was able to break through the third level overnight, approaching the fourth level, and reaching the fifth level of marrow cleansing and blood exchange.

God knows how many people in Jianyi died due to land annexation in the past ten years.

The methods of aristocratic wealthy families are never gentle, as it became clear when "Zhang Mingtu"'s family was ruined.

Zhang Mingtu was thinking, his brows furrowed suddenly, and he looked at the man who was fishing in the river.

The fishing net suddenly stopped moving halfway through dragging it. The man thought it was entangled in a rock or something at the bottom of the river. Mencius plunged into the water to pull the fishing net out, but it still did not come to the surface.

"Evil spirit?"

Zhang Mingtu was familiar yet unfamiliar with monsters.

Familiar because you can hear people around you talking about monsters and ghosts every day. Strange because Zhang Mingtu has never really had a head-on collision with a monster.

Of course, only in reality, if it is in the future fragments shown in the book of life and death, Zhang Mingtu has actually encountered many monsters.

Monsters are actually ordinary beasts that have been demonized.

If the beast lives long enough, it will gradually acquire spiritual wisdom. Through the ancient blood inheritance, it will gradually absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. When it embarks on the path of spiritual practice, its energy and blood strength will often increase greatly.

The reason why monsters are often hostile to humans is that they often prey on humans.

This is because although humans are not physically strong, they are quite intelligent. After eating human flesh and blood, the little auras in the flesh can inspire monsters.

It is even possible to further activate the bloodline of the monster beast, allowing the monster beast to obtain more bloodline inheritance.

Even ordinary beasts may become psychic and demonized if they eat enough human flesh and blood.

The intelligence of beasts is usually not high. Even after being transformed into a demon, the intelligence will not be very high. However, by using human flesh and blood, the intelligence can be greatly improved, which is a huge benefit to the demon clan.

At the beginning of the founding of Daxia, there were many rounds of wars with the demon clan.

Unless it is a remote place where humans gather, it is difficult to see powerful monsters.

However, the demonization of beasts is completely uncontrollable. Beasts will demonize from time to time. There are special figures in the six gates who are responsible for catching monsters. Even the Jin Yiwei is sometimes responsible for slaying demons.

Humans are treasures to monsters, and monsters are the same to humans.

Being a monster, chicken blood is a great tonic and strengthening for humans, Qi and blood are stable, body, flesh and blood also contain a lot of economy, bones are strong and can be used to make weapons, and fur can be used to make leather armor.

It can be said that it is quite useful from head to toe.

Feeling the demonic aura, Zhang Mingtu suddenly realized something was wrong. He took three steps and two steps at a time, and suddenly plunged into the Gan River.

Swimming is basically a necessary skill for people living in Jiangnan all year round, and Zhang Mingtu can also do it.

The water in the Gan River is quite clear. Zhang Mingtu could vaguely distinguish the corresponding situation when he opened his eyes underwater.

His legs worked hard together with his hands, and with only a few leaps between bulging muscles, he jumped all the way to the bottom of the river.

Far away, Zhang Mingtu saw a big fish more than ten feet long swallowing half of the stocky man.

The short and stocky man's legs were still flopping wildly under the water.

When Zhang Mingtu saw the fish, the fish suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Mingtu.

Zhang Mingtu was shocked. It was a large catfish that was more than ten feet long. Because he had swallowed the fisherman, his head was still twisting and trying hard to swallow, and the tentacles at the corners of his mouth kept fluttering with the water.

Seeing Zhang Mingtu, the catfish not only did not turn around and run away, but swung its tail and swam towards Zhang Mingtu, while speeding up its swallowing movements.

Zhang Mingtu instantly understood what the fish demon meant. It wanted to eat another person.

"How brave!"

Although the catfish is huge, its movement in the water is not slow at all. It only took a few wags of its tail to reach Zhang Mingtu.

There was a fisherman's man in his mouth that he hadn't swallowed yet. He didn't move and turned around to wag his tail.

A huge tail headed straight for Zhang Mingtu's head, his movements were fast, accurate and steady.

And it's very smooth and fast, obviously it's not the first time.

If an ordinary person were hit by this, he would be unconscious under the water on the spot, and then be dragged away by the catfish monster.

When Zhang Mingtu saw this, he suddenly felt murderous intent in his heart.

This water demon moves so swiftly, quickly, accurately and accurately, and goes straight to the person's head. It is obviously not the first time it has done such a thing.

Zhang Mingtu wanted to get out of the way, but found that the water around me seemed to have solidified, and the whole person seemed to be walking among ice blocks.

This catfish monster born in the water also has the intelligence to control water.

It was just a pause, and the catfish's tail had already been whipped up.

Although Zhang Mingtu was not frightened, his expression remained unchanged. A black ray of true energy circulated in his body and walked between his palms. In his mind, the tiger demon roared and killed you.

In an instant, the palm of his hand grabbed it from the water flow. It was obviously a body of flesh and blood, but it was like a magic weapon made of steel, and it grabbed the tail of the catfish waist.

Bloody water spread in the water at that time. The catfish's waist and body shook violently, its body twitched, its throat retched, and it actually spurted the half-eaten fisherman out of its mouth.

The unlucky fisherman was swallowed into the mouth and struggled wildly, but now all the oxygen in his chest and abdomen was exhausted, and he was unable to struggle after being sprayed out. Instead, he sank straight to the bottom of the water.

Then he turned around and swallowed Zhang Mingtu in one mouthful. Before his mouth could reach his mouth, several water arrows had already condensed and headed straight for Zhang Mingtu's chest and abdomen.

Zhang Mingtu's body was motionless, he lowered his waist and stood up immediately. He tried his best to gather his feet and stepped on a piece of water like a steel plate. Then he twisted his waist and raised his hips, kicking on the ground to exert force.

The palm that had penetrated deep into the catfish demon was suddenly pulled out, and then it turned into a fist at a faster speed and punched it.

when!

There was a sound like gold and iron clashing, and it spread far and wide in the river.

The catfish demon seemed to have been hit by a sledgehammer while under the water, and countless powerful forces surged inside its body, as if it was being run over by a steamroller, shaking layer by layer, and then reaching its peak at the tail.

The wound on the tail suddenly acted like a high-pressure water gun, spraying blood all over the body into the wound.

The power of the fist was so superb that he poured all his strength into the body of the catfish demon without wasting any of it.

The body of the catfish demon trembled twice, and its strong vitality supported it and it continued to move, but instead of turning towards Zhang Mingtu, it turned around and tried to run towards the depths of the river bottom.

Zhang Mingtu's expression remained unchanged and he punched out again.

Having lost all the blood in its body, the catfish demon's body is no longer as hard as iron this time.

The fierce and domineering force rushed into its body without any hindrance, heading straight for its head and heart, then twisting the head and heart into a ball of paste.

The catfish's waist trembled twice, and its body rebounded once or twice, but it had lost its life.

Until then, Zhang Mingtu's expression relaxed slightly, but the unconscious fisherman was still drifting into the water without sinking to the bottom.

With just two punches, a psychic beast was killed in the water where it was best at fighting.

Zhang Mingtu was surprised. He seemed to be fighting instinctively just now, and he usually knew what to do naturally.

Every punch and kick was just right.

But now is not the time to think about this. The fisherman is already dying. If he delays it any longer, he may suffocate to death in the water.

He took three steps and made two steps at a time, shot out like an arrow in the water, and hugged the fisherman.

There were many ulcers on the man's skin, obviously burned by the gastric juice in the catfish's mouth. The steam in Zhang Mingtu's hand was intended to cover the surrounding area within a three-foot radius.

The surrounding water flow suddenly condensed into a huge water ball in his hand, and as Zhang Mingtu exerted force, the water ball suddenly sprayed out, leaving a small ball of catfish blood in his hand.

He dropped a small part of the catfish essence and blood into the fisherman's mouth, and a small part was refined by his breath and then applied to the fisherman's skin wounds.
