Early the next morning, Liu Qiao left the town again, followed a small road, and headed south through the thin morning fog.
From then on, I would walk on small roads during the day, watch the sun set, then go to the main road, go to a post station, or find a cottage to stay overnight, and then leave again the next day.
After walking like this for four or five days, I estimate that I have traveled seven to eight hundred miles from Chaoge. The pursuers will not pursue me this far.
Only then did he walk on the official road with confidence and boldness. He was not as anxious as before. Instead, he looked for mountains and rivers along the way to see if there was any secret practice place where wind and energy could be hidden.
It’s not that there were no famous mountains on the road before, it’s just that under the rule of the Yin Shang Dynasty, there were densely populated areas for hundreds of miles around. The famous mountains are good, but they still have the atmosphere of the world, but it is not a place of retreat.
It wasn't until we traveled these seven or eight hundred miles that the population gradually became sparse.
On this day, we will reach the afternoon, and finally emerge from the plains, and some small ridges and hills gradually appear in front of us.
Liu Qiao stopped to rest and thought to himself: "We are finally out of the Central Plains. There are gradually more mountains. It shouldn't be difficult to find a good mountain."
"Rumble..."
While I was sighing, there were bursts of thunder in the sky, dark clouds were gathering, and the wind and sand were blowing on the ground, making it look like it was going to rain.
Liu Qiao didn't dare to delay, so he was busy and immersed in his journey. In this barren mountain and wilderness, he hoped to find a resting place before it rained.
However, things went against expectations, and after walking only a few miles, raindrops began to fall all over the sky, like pouring water, making the leaves in the forest crackle.
It was a sunny day while traveling these past few days, and he didn't bring an umbrella. Soon he was soaked in the rain, and the rain was accompanied by fog. The forest was hazy for a while, and he could barely see a dozen steps in front of him.
"Seeing that the sky is getting dark, what should I do..."
Fortunately, we didn't go far before we saw a dark building in front of us, with the tile corners of the roof vaguely visible, as if there was a home.
Liu Qiao suddenly felt at ease and hurriedly walked over. As expected, he saw that there were several green brick and tile houses with courtyards built outside.
"Inn? It's great. I can go in to dry my clothes and have some hot food."
I hurriedly entered the inn and saw that the eaves of several wing rooms were covered with spider webs and there were holes in the roofs. I realized that it was an abandoned inn and there were no troops stationed inside.
Although it was dilapidated and leaking, it was still covered by some tiles. I looked left and right and found a side room to live in that was relatively less leaky.
This inn was abandoned. The dust inside was two fingers thick, and the ground was covered with snakes, insects, rats, and ants. The walls on all four sides were leaky, but at least it was able to provide some protection from the wind and rain.
It was already dusk outside, and Liu Qiao didn't mind the dust, dirt, snakes and insects as long as he had a place to stay. He brushed aside the cobwebs and found a desk to put down his luggage.
I found some hay and lit it with flint. I split some tables and tables in the room with my sword and used them as firewood.
"In the barren mountains and ridges, the houses have been uninhabited for a long time. I'm afraid evil spirits may easily arise. I won't sleep tonight. As long as I'm sheltered from the rain and there's moonlight outside, it's easy to travel. I'll find an inn to have a good rest tomorrow."
After making up his mind, he drew the sword and held it in his arms. He sat next to the fire, burning his clothes with the fire, closing his eyes and falling asleep, deduce the Qi Men Dun Jia.
"翛翛...touch...pop..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as I closed my eyes, a strong wind blew outside. The doors and windows were blown open and closed, making a lot of noise.
"This wind is not right, the smell is unpleasant, it is a bad wind, there are either ghosts or strange things coming."
Liu Qiao was startled, stood up instantly, took the sword in his hand, and looked out through the wooden lattice on the door.
After a while, the wind and clouds outside subsided, the sound of rain stopped, and the thin moonlight shone in the courtyard, revealing a dark shadow, about ten feet high and three feet thick.
"Is there someone outside?"
"The poor road passes through expensive land, no intention to disturb..."
Liu Qiao shouted several times, and even called himself "Pindao" to show that he was not an ordinary person, but the dark shadow outside did not respond.
Seeing this, Liu Qiao felt a little worried, so he apologized and said: "I didn't mean to disturb you, I'm just going to leave now..."
After saying that, he was about to pick up his luggage and head out. At this moment, the black figure seemed to suddenly realize something, and took big steps towards the room.
"Bangdang...bangdang..."
Hearing the footsteps approaching, Liu Qiao's face turned serious. No matter if he was a demon or a ghost, he had to give it two swords first.
Even if a god wanted to eat me, he would have to put a few holes in my body first.
Then he did not retreat but moved closer, jumping to the door. The black figure outside stretched out his hand and was about to push the door open. Liu Qiao was the first to pierce the door with his sword. "Stab...puff" the sound of the sharp blade entering the flesh was heard, but it hit the door.
The black shadow cattail palm has a big hand.
"Errrr..."
The strange figure was in pain and hurriedly withdrew its hand, making a strange cry like a baby, stamping its feet and crying outside.
The sound was so harsh that it made Liu Qiao dizzy and almost fell down. He bit the tip of his tongue quickly before he could steady himself.
Seeing the strange figure holding his hands and stomping and wailing outside, Liu Qiao hurriedly kicked out the room, spat on the bloody sword on his tongue, and without taking a closer look, he directly cut off the monster's head with a sword.
"thump"
Douda's head flew up and immediately landed on the ground and rolled a few times before settling on the edge of the courtyard wall. It looked like a bird's head.
Just as Liu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, a bright red light suddenly appeared from the headless cavity, and in the blink of an eye, another head grew.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey..."
The strange scream started again. Liu Qiao couldn't bear to be frightened and raised his sword to strike again. The monster stretched out his hand to block it, but unexpectedly the sword was sharp and tempered with Zhenyang Dan. He directly cut off his head and hands.
"Pfft..." Another head flew up.
The headless body panicked and quickly turned around and ran outside. A red light came out of its cavity, and in the blink of an eye, another bird's head sprouted out.
"What a monster. If you dare to scare your Taoist master, don't leave..."
Liu Qiao was victorious and refused to spare anyone, so he hurriedly chased after him with his sword. There was such a monster at the post station, so it would be best if he could kill it, so as not to harm the passers-by in the future.
"Blooming…"
Suddenly there was a loud gust of wind, but it was the strange man who saw Liu Qiao chasing after him, who was so frightened that he lost his mind.
Busily using his magical power, a demonic aura suddenly rose up, wrapping his body and flying up.
"Go there..."
Although the surroundings were foggy, a gust of evil wind could be faintly seen, carrying the monster flying several feet off the ground. Liu Qiao shouted loudly and threw his sword towards the monster as if it were a hidden weapon.
"Pfft...ouch...yiyi"
But the sword hit the monster's back, causing it to scream in pain, and it suddenly fell down from the clouds and fell heavily to the ground with a "plop".
There were no weapons around, so Liu Qiao directly pulled out a stick of firewood that was burning brightly, and hurried forward to catch up.
The monster was also miserable. He was hit by a sword and couldn't stand the evil wind. He was thrown into confusion.
Just as he was staggering about to get up, Liu Qiao hit him on the head with a firewood stick. There was a "thud" sound, and his brain immediately burst.
"Let me see how many more heads you can grow..."
Seeing the red light coming out of the broken cavity again, Liu Qiao learned the lesson now. He directly grabbed the sword in his hand and cut off the monster's limbs with several strokes.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, another head sprouted, and Liu Qiao, who had been prepared for it, chopped it off with a sword.
In this way, it grows one, and Liu Qiao cuts one.
It wasn't until the ninth time that the bird's head was cut off that there was a sound of "thorn!", and the monster finally stopped growing its head, and instead, three feet of blood spurted out of its cavity.
The blood flowed for a long time, and then it gradually stopped after about a cup of tea. This time he must have really died.
Liu Qiao wiped his sword on the fur of the corpse, and gradually regained his composure. Although he was calm on the surface during the whole process, it was impossible for him not to panic when he was killing a demon for the first time.
"I don't know what kind of monster this is. It has the head of a bird and the body of a human body. It is covered with hair, has wings on its ribs, sounds like a baby, is good at deceiving people's spirits, and has nine lives..."
"It's not like a goblin. Although the immortal martial arts I practice makes me afraid of being cruel, there's no reason why the goblin can't help but beat me. It's a bit like the strange beasts that the master said..."
To sum up, this monster can blow wind and rain, make clouds and fog make the surroundings hazy, make people fascinated by its screams, has nine lives, and can also make the demon wind fly, but its fighting ability is not very good, or
It is said that it is a monster that does not know how to use martial arts.
Liu Qiao thought for a while, and then used his sword to dissect the monster's body, head and body, but after searching for a long time, he could not find the monster's inner elixir mentioned in the novels about cultivating immortals in his previous life.
Seeing that the rain had stopped and the moonlight was good enough to illuminate the road, he packed his bags and left the inn to take advantage of the moonlight.
As for the monster's body, it's a joke. Chan taught his disciples not to bury it but to kill it and let it lie there to dry in the sun.
