Longevity begins with Orion

Chapter 129 127. Complete the exploration and move to the Shenmu Temple (big chapter - please subscribe)

Gong Shanjun died, and all the demon hunters were silent.

Ninth-grade and eighth-grade people dare not speak.

A seventh-grade person knows that Gong Shanjun pointed out a wrong path leading to death. This may be his way to die, but what can he say?

But the question is, how did this person know?

More importantly, what will they face?

beat?

Not realistic.

The old monster who looked like a young man had not yet arrived, but he defeated them in an instant with only stones, and the weight and weight were all handled with great delicacy.

He just wounded everyone but didn't kill them.

You know, among these people there are nine grades, eight grades, and seven grades. Everyone is different.

This shows that he must instantly judge everyone's strength and apply just the right attack.

This ability is even more terrifying than his ability to defeat everyone in an instant.

It's so scary that you can't resist.

At this time, Li Yuan glanced at the fresh, still alive sixth-grade corpse on the ground, and then looked at Tang Nian.

Tang Nian bit his lip and stared at Gong Shanjun's body in concentration, his fingers hanging down on the side of his trousers trembling slightly.

Li Yuan took a deep look at his adopted daughter, looked over her shoulder, glanced at the demon hunters behind, and then said in a loud voice: "Go back with me first."

The demon hunters did not dare to say anything and followed Li Yuan back to the settlement step by step.

Tang Nian didn't leave.

She knew what her adoptive father meant.

In other words, this is her adoptive father letting her choose.

She stood silently by a wilderness road at the entrance of the mountain, glanced at the corpse, then turned slightly to look at the puppet Tang Chou, and then looked at the figure of her adoptive father who had gone away.

There are clouds in the sky, it's a nice weather today.

The short-haired girl tried her best to form a smile on her lips, but it was instantly lost.

She made her decision.

Unboxing,

holding a knife,

He also took out a small box specially designed to store the hearts of monster beasts.

He squatted beside the body of this sixth-grade warrior.

The tip of the knife precisely melts away excess flesh and blood,

The girl's hands began to be stained with hot blood.

After a while, the tent curtain opened, and the girl in white followed by the big puppet walked into Li Yuan's tent.

Her hands were still bleeding.

Her face looked a little bad.

Killing people and taking their hearts are two different things.

She can control the puppets to kill the vicious thieves at will, but to get the heart, she needs to break through a barrier in her heart.

"Dad"

Tang Chou lowered his head and his voice was hoarse.

But the next moment, when she looked up again, she opened her lips forcefully and showed a bright smile, "I'm back.

The heart has been contained, please prepare a new sixth-grade puppet material for me."

Li Yuan stood up and wanted to hold his adopted daughter's hand, but found that the adopted daughter looked about the same age as him, so he gave up and said, "Your hands are dirty, just wash them."

"What about the dirty heart?" Tang Nian suddenly asked.

Li Yuan looked at her for a while and said, "Honestly, have you peeked at your brother's "The Legend of Knights"?"

Tang Nian was stunned for a moment and said with a strange expression: "Dad, how did you know?"

Li Yuan said speechlessly: "Otherwise, how could you say this?"

Tang Nian:.

Li Yuan asked: "Did you touch the body?"

Tang Nian:? ? ?

Li Yuandao: "It's just the things in your arms. This kind of tent settlement is no better than a house. You should carry everything with you."

Tang Nian nodded and said, "Nothing was found in his arms, but when I was doing the dissection, in addition to the smell of blood, I also smelled a faint fragrance."

"fragrance?"

"Like the scent of flowers."

Li Yuan frowned slightly.

Tang Nian and the puppet Tang Chou stood behind Li Yuan.

This time she went out to practice, from the time she got off the carriage to now, it only took two or three days.

But in the past two or three days, she had gained a lot, and her character was also changing.

After a short while, a rugged man stepped in, knelt down beside Li Yuan, and said respectfully: "Master."

This person's name is "Mugou Laosi". Why he has such a strange name, Li Yuan doesn't know.

This kind of monster hunter whose name is not listed in the household register has such a random last name.

The Fourth Wooden Dog had already roughly told him everything.

Gong Shanjun is the leader of this small settlement, and he is the second.

This small settlement of demon hunters is not big. They only catch prey at a few fixed points during daily hunting, and they don't dare to go to Sunset Rain Plains.

As for family members, wives and concubines, these people have none.

If you want to have a good time, you will go to a nearby county with your money, eat big fish and meat, call a few beauties, and have fun for a few days until you get tired of it.

The exercises they practiced were actually obtained from the "shan gang" in Qiutang County next door.

Even they themselves basically split from the "mountain gang" a long time ago.

Li Yuan also knew about this "mountain gang". It was the same force that was wiped out by General Gu Xiang and Zhao Xiantong's group of rebels seven years ago.

The fourth wooden dog continued to talk.

They are members of the "shan gang", but Gong Shanjun is an outsider.

He was also the one who took the lead in this demon hunter job.

Now that he is dead, the fourth wooden dog will inherit his career, but the location for capturing monsters will be further shrunk to the outside.

"Will it be impossible to hunt seventh-grade monsters in the future?" Li Yuan asked.

The fourth wooden dog said respectfully: "I don't know how to report it to my master.

Because whether Gongshan is there or not, it doesn’t have much impact on us.

We rely on toxins.

Although Gong Shanjun brought this toxin formula, we can make it with the materials. "

After that, the fourth wooden dog handed a leather scroll to Li Yuan and said: "Master, this poison is called Ghost Incense."

Li Yuan nodded, took it, looked at it for a while, then turned around and handed it to Tang Nian.

This "ghost fragrance" is a synthetic fragrance.

In its formula, there are two kinds of auxiliary fragrances:

One is "Shadow Incense". This "Shadow Incense" is made from the bones of seventh-grade monster beasts. Its function is "when the monster meat is not enough, it can be used as a training item that can be used for a longer period of time." Once ignited, its It can arouse the blood of warriors and assist in their cultivation, but it is not as good as eating monster meat directly. Surprisingly, this "meaty aroma" is quite attractive to monsters.

One is "Fire Incense", which is an extremely rich aroma that is not easily diluted.

The main fragrance is made from an herb called "Bingguhua".

This "Ice Bone Flower" is also commonly known as "Little Ice Strip". Except for the formula, no one outside knows about it.

This is an eerie white, cold, and extremely brittle plant.

The place where it grows is in the direction of the small village that Gong Shanjun pointed to just now.

Li Yuanhu said: "Is that small village a ghost land?"

The fourth wooden dog nodded and said: "Gong Shanjun told me that it is a ghost realm, but as long as we don't enter the ghost realm, nothing will happen. This Ice Bone Grass is where we use our shadow blood to resist the evil spirits." Qi, picked at the outskirts of the ghost realm."

Li Yuan closed his eyes. At this moment, he already understood the medicinal properties of this "ghost incense".

Plants containing powerful yin energy are used as medicine, and are combined with aromas that attract monsters. After smelling the monsters, the shadow blood in their bodies will stagnate, causing their legs to become weak, resulting in a result similar to "ordinary people are intoxicated by the incense".

"What kind of ghost land is it?" Li Yuan asked again.

The fourth wooden dog said: "Master Qi, I didn't dare to look at it, nor did I dare to get close. I just heard Gong Shanjun say that it is a small villa."

Villa?

Li Yuan frowned slightly.

He suddenly remembered the mountain villa he had seen before.

It was dilapidated, moldy, and looked like a huge corpse.

There is also a small bridge and flowing water in the village, and some strange black spots are floating in the flowing water.

Back then, the tiger named Xiao Huang went with him, and then escaped together

The memory is vivid in my mind, and I still shudder when I think about it.

He asked Mugou Laosi to take a sketch map of the surrounding mountains, draw the roads, and mark the approximate location of the villa.

After combining the distance and time, Li Yuan found that it was probably that villa.

He looked at the map.

To the north of the map is the wilderness of Huishanbao County.

To the west are mountains, and then you can walk around the long mountain road to Qiutang County.

To the north, there will be more and more monsters.

And to the east is this villa.

Li Yuan thought for a while and rejected the idea of ​​investigating.

However, this ghost realm is quite strange. There is an "Ice Bone Flower" growing outside. This kind of plant that can restrain the shadow blood of monsters has not been seen in other places.

It can also be regarded as a specialty of the local ghost area.

No wonder Gongshanjun wanted to settle down here and capture monsters. As for Gongshanjun’s other purposes, Li Yuan didn’t know.

However, is there a possibility that there is a force behind Gongshan Jun?

Gong Shanjun came here to gather the demon hunters to add to this force's plan.

However, according to Mugou Laosi, Gong Shanjun came here thirty years ago and has been here ever since.

Which force in the world would send a sixth-grade master to stay in the deep mountains and forests for thirty years? Just catch monsters?

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Li Yuan pushed them away, and then decided to go north to see if there was any place suitable for human habitation.

With the topographic map provided by Mugou Laosi, he also had some idea of ​​the mountain, so that he would not run around everywhere.

"To the south, there are four mountain roads.

You cannot go to the mountain path on the left. A certain section of this mountain path is trapped in the ghost domain, but the entrants have no idea that as long as they pass through that section, it is equivalent to entering the ghost domain of the villa.

Therefore, this is a path where anyone goes and who dies, but it is also a place where demon hunters collect ice bone flowers.

Fortunately, I subdued these demon hunters in advance, otherwise this place would be a dead end.

To explore it yourself is to die.

After asking the demon hunter, the demon hunter will trick you into dying just to keep the Ice Bone Flower from being exposed. "

"As for the two mountain roads in the middle, the paths are similar, both leading to Sunset Rain Plains.

Monster hunters mostly hunt in the open spaces, woods, or by ponds around these two mountain roads.

These two mountain roads should be very long. The monster hunters have only explored the front half of the road. There should be more powerful monsters on the back path."

Li Yuan stared at it for a long time and felt that these two roads were a bit like "vents".

But it’s not the wind that’s flowing, but the monsters

Living in such a place, no matter how deep it is or not, is meaningless, because you are destined to face endless harassment by monsters.

"Perhaps, I can use my demon taming skills to tame a few powerful demon beasts and help look after the house?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Yuan shook his head again.

“This road leads to Sunset Rain Plains.

Sunset Rain is known as a paradise for monsters. There must be monsters of fifth grade, fourth grade, or even higher grades.

If only one comes, it will be a big trouble.

And I have no way to tame higher-grade monsters.

Living in the human world, you can predict dangers and take precautions, but living in this vent, you have to be afraid every day. "

Immediately, Li Yuan looked at the mountain road on the far right.

"This road is very strange. There are almost no monsters, but I don't know where it leads.

The demon hunter went to explore the road several times, but either didn't find anything, or he disappeared after going deep. "

"Dangerous, quite dangerous"

Li Yuan clenched his fist and supported his chin, staring at the picture and thinking for a while.

He decided to go and find out for himself.

After excluding the two mountain trails on the far left and right, he wanted to check out the two in the middle.

Later, Li Yuan took Tang Nian to explore the mountains and forests, taking note of the terrain of the mountain roads from time to time.

Because of his ability to "read data", he can also write down the status of various monster branches.

After encountering a seventh-grade triangular bull-shaped monster on the road, Li Yuan tamed it, then rode on the back of the bull with his adopted daughter and walked along the road.

With these seventh-level monsters, other weaker monsters will not approach, thus avoiding some meaningless battles.

one and a half months later

The two returned to their original place.

When Tang Nian died, she was a snow-white girl, but now she is tanned

At the same time, her eyes became sharp.

"Dad, it seems this is not a suitable place for us to settle."

Li Yuanshen nodded with the same feeling.

Reality is really cruel.

Not only is it uninhabitable, it's also full of danger.

As he went deeper, he discovered something incredible: when a monster is powerful enough, it can tame weak monsters. In other words, it is not taming, but a command from a superior.

The triangular bull-like monster he was riding turned from "domesticated" to "wild" after it entered a certain range, and it crawled on the ground and softly called out for mercy.

No matter how much he screamed, the triangular bull-shaped monster wouldn't get up.

The magic of taming monsters has failed.

In other words, it was interfered by some more powerful force and became useless.

Li Yuan and Tang Nian turned around and ran. As they rounded a certain mountain peak, the two of them turned their heads and looked towards the cliff in the distance. They saw a rumbling tide of beasts rushing through the canyon, and behind the tide of beasts. It was a giant, terrifying monster that was as tall as a pavilion.

Li Yuan could see clearly that data similar to Elder Zhu's was floating above the monster's head. Obviously, it was a fifth-grade monster.

Perhaps because Li Yuan himself was not weak, or perhaps because of his affinity, the terrifying monster just glanced at them and continued to move in the original direction.

The plan to use the south as a retreat was in vain.

Li Yuan decided to return to Shanbao County.

Before leaving, he took "ten ghost incense sticks" from the settlement and a box of about a thousand taels of gold ingots, which were regarded as trophies. Then he set up a "secret code" with Mu Gou Lao Si for future use.

After leaving behind a sparrow who was observing the situation, he returned to the carriage and drove away.

Half an hour later.

The settlement was completely out of sight.

In the car, Tang Nian asked, "Dad, are we going to Mianzhou Road?"

Li Yuan raised the reins and said, "When we go back, the first batch of news should also come."

Tang Nian responded.

Li Yuanhu said: "Do you still remember when we first came here, I asked you to go to that settlement for training?"

"Remember."

"Now. Any new ideas?"

In the carriage, Tang Nian paused for a moment, and then said, "I shouldn't go."

"Why?" Li Yuan smiled.

Tang Nian said: "Because I only heard what my father said about the situation there, but I didn't understand it at all, but I was full of confidence and self-righteous.

I'm not an assassin. I'm not good at sneaking into camps, let alone poisoning.

I'm a puppet master, and my way of fighting has never been to be on the front lines.

Why should I sneak into that settlement?

Why should I go in person?

Even if my father assigned me this task, I should still fight for it because it is not a task suitable for me. "

Li Yuan smiled and said, "I've made some progress."

Tang Nian also smiled and said, "My father taught me well."

In the past two months, she and Li Yuan had been getting along day and night, and she had learned a lot from her adoptive father's words and deeds.

The way of doing things and thinking also began to change.

Li Yuandao: "Is your heart still dirty?"

Tang Nian said speechlessly: "Dad, don't laugh at me anymore. It's not because you have no experience in actual combat and is ignorant, so you are being pretentious."

Li Yuandao: "If you stay with Xiaolu when you go back, remember to teach Xiaolu by the way. You spend more time with her than I, my father."

"Got it, Dad."

A few days later.

Li Yuan returned to Shanbao County.

The landlady brought a lot of information from Mianzhou Road.

“Mianzhou Road is a poor place with many forests.

Therefore, among the Jianghu forces in Mianzhou Road, the largest is the Beggar Gang.

When people from the Ningyu Chamber of Commerce, Hengwu Restaurant, and Baihua Winery entered Mianzhou Road, a gang of beggars formed a group to block the road, demanding money and even women.

Fortunately, Yan Mu showed his identity and was able to pass smoothly. "

"There are eight mansions under Mianzhou Road, and Yuantian Mansion, where the Shenmu Temple is located, is at the core.

In Yuantian Mansion, there are many, many fewer beggars, and even those who are here don’t dare to act recklessly.”

"The inner city of Shenmu Temple is quite large, larger than the three Shanbao counties. It is the most prosperous place with the best security in the entire Mianzhou Road.

It is not easy to live there and do business there.

If our people didn't have the golden words of the aunt, we wouldn't even think about opening a store, let alone doing business. "

"There is a very famous forbidden area on Mianzhou Road, which should be a large ghost land.

The locals call it the Paradise of Paradise. "

"Ultimate Paradise?"

“Well, because there is a lot of laughter coming from there, the locals call it the paradise over there.

And because the Paradise of Paradise is very large, many people know about it.”

The landlady told me one by one.

Li Yuan thought for a long time and wanted to make a decision, but he still hesitated.

Because Lady Yan was restricted by the ghost realm, she could not leave with him.

That night, after Li Yuan fell asleep, he went to the grocery store on Ghost Street.

Before he could speak, Lady Yan had already spoken.

"Ms. sir, you have Yin Qi in you."

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Lady Yan added: "It's the fragrance of flowers from the flower shop."

Flower shop scent?

when?

Li Yuan's expression condensed slightly, and then he suddenly thought of the "light floral fragrance" mentioned by the rebel woman. Could it be that Gong Shanjun was really a little weird?

Mrs. Yan said: "There is an item in the flower shop called resentful soul incense. It is a kind of fragrant powder. Once it is sprinkled on someone, that person can be found anywhere in the world.

If this person is killed, the resentful soul incense will attach to the person who killed him. The person who uses this resentful soul incense will be able to follow the route to find you. "

Li Yuan's pupils narrowed.

Obviously, Gong Shanjun has the fragrance of resentment on his body.

He killed Gong Shanjun, and the incense came to him.

What my adopted daughter smelled was the residual fragrance.

"Then should I go to the flower shop?"

"No need." Lady Yan said lightly, and then she raised her hand to grab Li Yuan's face.

The hands were ice cold and very white.

With a pull of his five fingers, a faint red smoke was pulled out from between Li Yuan's eyebrows.

Lady Yan clenched her fist, and the red smoke dispersed immediately.

"It's okay now," Lady Yan said, "but there will still be some minor troubles."

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure in green appeared on the pale and winding path outside the grocery store.

It's a Tsing Yi hawker.

With a warm smile on his face, the hawker walked quickly to the grocery store. When he reached the house, he did not enter the house. He just stood motionless at the door.

Feng'er, the clerk in white behind the counter, suddenly walked to the door. After making a "clucking" sound all the way, she stood still.

After a while, a little flower seller wearing a blood-red scarf and carrying a basket appeared on the road outside the door.

The little girl ran to the grocery store quickly with an expressionless expression, then clenched her fists and started to smash the door.

Boom, boom, boom!

Boom, boom, boom!

There was a loud knock on the door.

Then the vendor opened the door.

The little girl twisted her lips into a weird smile, reached out and grabbed the vendor, and then tried to drag him out.

No dragging.

The Tsing Yi hawker and the little flower girl were in a stalemate for a while, and then suddenly separated again.

The little flower girl turned and ran away.

After a while, the Tsing Yi vendor turned around and went to the counter, took out new rouge and gouache from the cupboard, and ran to the front street to sell things again.

Lady Yan said: "I directly removed the Yin Qi from your body and attracted the ghost from the flower shop.

But because you don't have much Yin energy, only one ghost came to the flower shop.

It attacked the grocery store, but was blocked by the Tsing Yi hawker, so it went back again. "

Li Yuandao: "Sister Yan, do you know where the ghost realm of this flower shop is?"

Madam Yan said: "In the southeast of Xiaomofang, it should be the place where my husband met the evil before."

After becoming an evil ghost, Lady Yan suddenly knew a lot of things.

Li Yuan was silent for a moment.

Huge corpse-like villa

Could it be that it was really a corpse?

Does the flower shop sell corpse flowers?

No wonder there are Ice Bone Flowers blooming next to the Ghost Domain. It turns out to be a flower shop.

No matter how virtuous or capable I am, I encountered a "double ghost shop" when I was in the ninth grade.

However, here comes the problem.

"Flower shop ghost land", "Ice Bone Flower", "Gong Shanjun's resentful fragrance from the flower shop", these things are connected and seem to form a mysterious clue.

Where does this clue lead?

Is it the fishing line from the fishing rod?

Or is it one of the many threads crisscrossing a large web?

At that time, he also felt that "Gong Shanjun should not be sent by some big force." After all, which big force would let a sixth-grade strongman become a demon hunter for thirty years?

Now it seems that he still underestimated the danger of this world.

etc!

The black lotus that stopped the pursuers and poisoned a village until it melted.

Wait for a flower to bloom.

Black petals.

A lot of information, a lot of words can't help but pour in, and it seems that they are beginning to build a large network that is vague, unverifiable, and seems to be just a conjecture.

"What's the matter, Mr. Yan?" Lady Yan asked.

Only then did Li Yuan come back to his senses and told what happened during this period, what he knew, and the speculations in his heart.

Lady Yan said: "If this is the case, you really have to leave."

She leaned against the man, her whole body pale.

"Take Xiaolin and leave. Our children should live in the human world, not in the ghost world."

“As a mother, I wasn’t able to give her eyes.

Then, before leaving, I painted it for her myself. "

Li Yuandao: "I will wrap a thousand miles around Yu Chaojin. No matter where I am, I will come to the ghost world of the black market to find you. Just Xiaolu."

"Take her away."

Madam Yan's expression softened. She glanced at the little girl playing far away in the grocery store and said, "She shouldn't be here."

One month later.

Gu Xuejian arrived in person to pick up her precious disciple.

And Li Yuan has also made various preparations.

He went to Shexiang once. Xu Lan and Xu Sheng from Shexiang had already reached the seventh level and were now on their way to the Great Perfection.

He copied the "Picture of a Thousand Miles of Knights" and "Picture of Ghost Rain in Nanshan", handed the former to Xu Lan and the latter to Xu Sheng, and then left.

He placed another copy of "The Young Master Riding a Deer" in Wu Lu and gave it to Zhao Chunxin.

As for the original, he placed it in the ghost world of the black market. After all, this kind of thing cannot be carried around.

Li Yuan knew very well what the three visualization pictures outside would bring.

However, what he brought was what he expected.

He also went to meet General Gu Xiang, but he was Mr. Mu and had nothing to do with the departing Blood Knife Ancestor.

at this time

The river thawed.

Li Yuan took his family and left with Gu Xuejian.

As for Hengwu Restaurant and Baihua Winery, they continue to operate in the same place, but these restaurants and wineries have become the properties of Xuedaomen.

Li Yuan was walking with the boss's wife, holding his daughter's hand at the same time.

Xiaolu "grew" a pair of beautiful eyes.

Behind him were his adopted daughter and a puppet whose appearance was unclear, wrapped in a cloak.

Pang Yuanhua sat in a wheelchair and followed him.

Then there are Mei Lan, Zhu Ju, Aunt Wang, Wang Dalang, whose original nickname is Xiao Sheng, and Wang Chuliu, whose nickname is Niu Niu.

In the distance, there is the laughter of Gu Xuejian and Xiaopingan.

The deputy palace master is cultivating a relationship with her precious apprentice.

This long team, stop and go, stop and go, gradually goes away

Li Yuan looked back in the direction behind him.

And south of the Changmian River, further south in Shanbao County, which is a borderland.

A man and a woman were walking in the wilderness.

The man was burly, dressed in red, and looked very calm.

The woman was dressed in snow-white robes, her hair disheveled, and her face was so pure that it made her feel ashamed, but her eyes were mixed with "stagnation caused by being too focused on research" and "madness."

If Li Yuan were here, he would recognize this man as the owner of the Ghost Street Zhong Mansion.

If Pang Yuanhua were here, he would recognize this woman as her "roommate", the woman named Long.

The two of them were walking in the wilderness, showing no signs of worrying about their own curse.

Obviously, their curse has been lifted long ago, not only once, but maybe twice or three times.

The master of the Zhong Mansion said: "Gong Shanjun was killed, and the resentful soul incense on his body was also cut off."

The woman surnamed Long said: "I haven't been out for a long time. If you ask me, I can't guess who it is."

The master of the Zhong Mansion said in a calm tone: "I'm just saying, no matter who kills Gong Shanjun, no matter how the resentful soul incense is cut off, it doesn't matter. We will know sooner or later."

"What are you going to do about the outsiders? Just keep pretending and coaxing?"

"It's not coaxing."

"Oh, obviously you can strangle them to death by raising your hand, but you have to tolerate everything."

"It's not them I let go, it's the Ming Yi Zhai behind them."

"Mortgage Room? I haven't left the house for a long time. Please tell me."

"Do you know the Tsing Yi hawker? Do you know that grocery store that suddenly appeared on Ghost Street?"

"I haven't been in there, so I don't know."

“It was a perfect fusion of human and ghost, an existence that absolutely cannot be copied.

There should be one in the grocery store, and there should be a stronger one in the funeral home."

"interesting."

The two strolled for a while.

The master of the Zhong Mansion suddenly raised his head and said calmly with a slightly intoxicated expression: "The lotus is about to bloom.

This is our unprecedented masterpiece.

This is a masterpiece that contains the power of a flower shop and the power of a garden of strange beasts. "

After saying that, he raised his head and finally smiled and said: "The relationship comes from the heart, everyone is a beast."
