Author: Really the younger brother among younger brothers
Chapter 115 I really can’t tell the difference
On the way to the slaughterhouse.
Tang Wu leaned against the wall and smoked dry cigarettes, smoke spewing out from the hole-riddled pipe.
Ma Weigong endured the discomfort. At Tang Wu's age, the dry cigarettes he smoked had to add some poison, otherwise his body would not feel at all.
"Cough cough cough..."
It was rare for him to see Tang Wu so deflated, so he softly recounted Li Mo's deeds.
Tang Wu's face was complicated, and he stretched out his rotten tongue to lick his lips, "He has a dual body of nature and nurture. He will be weak in the middle stage before the age of thirty. He is a middle-grade weapon refiner, and his medical skills are second only to Han Cai."
Any one of Li Mo's talents is surprising, but when combined in one person, it's even more incredible.
"Li Mo, four-legged Taoist, layman of mountains and seas, tsk tsk tsk..."
Tang Wu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He lost face because of Li Mo's relationship, but he did not feel angry or angry. Instead, he regretted that Li Mo was not from a government office.
No wonder Tian Changwen placed the calligraphy and painting hall far away from the slaughterhouse. It would be a pity if Li Mo was accidentally damaged by an animal disaster.
With the qualifications of Li Mo's dual body, the golden elixir will surely condense within a hundred years.
The future chief of beast cultivators.
Tang Wu closed his eyes and rested his mind. The yamen building where he was sitting was the "Prison Temple", and the black goat monster was imprisoned under the statue of Zhong Kui.
There was a storm outside the window, and soon we arrived at the town outside the slaughterhouse.
The Yamen has lifted the warning to the monks in charge and the town has returned to normal, but corpses can still be seen being transported out of the building.
The death condition of the corpse was similar to that of Kou Gang, both were attacked and killed without any defense.
The black goat monster swallowed the hearts of eight people. Perhaps it felt the seductive aura emanating from Li Mo before leaving the slaughterhouse.
Li Mo looked around the town in the courtyard and was very curious about the strange beasts inside the slaughterhouse.
The intelligence of the Black Goat Monster was extremely dull at first, but after its sudden anthropomorphism, it was obvious that its intelligence was constantly improving.
If it were not difficult to resist the temptation of the roe owl, the black goat monster would probably choose to escape from the painting and calligraphy hall.
"The monsters are becoming more and more human-like?"
The Painting and Calligraphy Hall slowly parked in the hinterland of the slaughterhouse. The Yamen was only ten meters away. Tian Changwen obviously planned to protect the Painting and Calligraphy Hall.
Countless eyes looked towards the calligraphy and painting hall.
Even though the calligraphy and painting hall has been rebuilt, the plaque hanging in the entrance hall has not changed. The monks in charge soon realized that it was Li Mo inside the house.
There was burning passion in their eyes, and they were eager to make friends with Li Mo.
Nowadays, the beast disaster is becoming more and more serious. If you can obtain a medium-grade magic weapon refined by Li Mo, your chances of survival will definitely be much higher.
I heard that Li Mo's younger brother Li Zhuang escaped from death in the slaughterhouse by relying on a low-grade Taoist robe to protect him. This shows the importance of magical weapons.
Of course, Li Mo is not the only one who can refine medium-grade magic weapons.
But unlike other weapon refiners, refining a medium-grade magical weapon requires a very long time of preparation, and the finished product generally takes more than half a month, and it is also easy to be damaged halfway due to spiritual control.
Unlike Li Mo, making instruments and practicing medicine is as simple as eating and drinking.
They generally have a understanding that Li Mo's behavior of distracting himself from refining the weapon is because the difficulty of the middle-grade magic weapon is too low, so he seeks excitement.
Li Mo has long been accustomed to others peeping at him.
Under Yuwu's greeting, he carried the black goat monster toward the slaughterhouse and walked into the tightly packed warehouse before the beast's disaster.
Ma Weigong directed the police officers to guard around the warehouse, while he stood at the entrance and exit, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.
The walls of the warehouse were engraved with cooling and anti-corrosion arrays, and a chill came to my face.
Li Mo couldn't help but lose consciousness for a few breaths.
There are actually dozens of magic weapon cages hanging in the warehouse, which are specially used to imprison black goats. The sheep's screams are endless.
The dim candlelight provided light, and the black goat monsters all looked at Li Mo and the two.
Empty eyes make people's scalp numb.
Tang Wu took over the black goat beast that was restrained by the clavicle sealing chain, while Li Mo was still looking at the cages in the warehouse with a bitter look on his face.
Li Mo noticed.
Each black goat monster has a human face, and its appearance is different, and the degree of anthropomorphism is either light or heavy.
The human face seems to come from the monks who surrounded and suppressed the monsters in the slaughterhouse. Li Mo even found a black goat monster that was similar to Hu Wen.
Li Mo came to the black goat, the most human-like monster.
This strange black goat beast was naked and huddled in the corner. Except for the sparse fur on its back, it looked almost like a real person.
Li Mo moved closer to check, but his movement accidentally awakened the black goat monster.
The black goat monster opened its eyes and quickly moved in front of Li Mo. The clavicle sealing chain rubbed against the ground, and the sound of metal collision echoed.
He held the cage with both hands, as if he had seen a savior, "Senior Li, no, senior Shanhai, senior, do you still remember me? Have you met me several times in the calligraphy and painting hall?"
"I am Cheng Qi, Cheng Qi..."
"you……"
Li Mo did recognize Cheng Qi and recalled relevant memories with his photographic memory.
In his impression, Cheng Qi had a two-finger scar at the corner of his eye, and most of his back molars were rotten due to the erosion of the disease.
The strange beast in front of me has all the details of Cheng Qi. When it is completely anthropomorphized, it is impossible to recognize whether it is a beast or a human.
Or even say, have the beasts and the monks been replaced?
Li Mo turned to look at Tang Wu, with uncontrollable fear in his eyes.
The black goat monster who called himself Cheng Qi begged for mercy: "They all say that I was transformed by a monster, but I am not at all."
It scraped open its arm with its nails, revealing the bloody muscle tissue, and the wound did not heal as quickly as the monster.
"Look at me, layman Shanhai, I'm not some strange beast!"
"Help me, help me!!!"
The other heavily anthropomorphized black goat monsters also started to defend themselves, as if a group of wronged monks were being held in the warehouse.
Li Mo felt a chill running down his spine and stepped back several meters to stand next to Tang Wu.
Some of the cages are soundproofed, making it difficult for human voices to spread, and all you can see is their hysterical begging for mercy.
"He, they are..."
Yuwu chewed tobacco leaves and put the escaped black goat monster into a cage. Although the latter's strength broke through to the weak crown stage, it did lose the monster's ability to recover.
"Don't ask me, I can't tell the difference either. I really can't tell..."
After Tang Wu repeatedly confirmed that the clavicle sealing chain would not be broken off, he motioned Li Mo to the corner of the warehouse away from the cage.
"The thing in the cage should be a monster. No, it must be a monster."
Li Mo did not interrupt, and only listened to Tang Wu continue: "You know, once a monk goes to the slaughterhouse, a strange beast will be born in the outside world, and the two are closely related.
Tang Wu's face was solemn, "As long as a monk is injured in the slaughterhouse, the wound will heal and it will transform into a beast. The beasts in the outside world will do the opposite and transform into humans."
"The monster has the memory of a monk, but the monk becomes a monster with bloodthirsty instincts."
Li Mo nodded.
He saw with his own eyes that the black goat monster suddenly had multiple injuries on its chest and abdomen, and it became more and more human-like in a short period of time.
"Senior Tang, can't the monks in the slaughterhouse escape from the beast disaster?"
"Quiting? It's not that easy."
Tang Wu said helplessly: "After leaving the slaughterhouse, although the monsters in the cage disappeared out of thin air, the monk's monster transformation did not decrease but increased."
"What is the origin of the strange beast in the slaughterhouse?"
"Goat, goat monster."
"I don't know the specific situation, but please listen carefully, no matter how human-like the things in the cage are, they cannot be released."
Li Mo agreed with Tang Wu's view. He looked around and said, "Taoist Qingfang also entered the slaughterhouse. Which strange beast is related to him?"
"No."
"No." Li Mo couldn't help but repeat.
Tang Wu explained: "Perhaps because Qingfang Taoist's strength far exceeds that of the goat monster, it is true that it was not born with the monster beast."
"Just wait until Master Qingfang kills the beast. I believe the situation will improve."
The Yamen did not dare to kill the strange beast in the cage for fear that it would affect the monks, so the most appropriate way was to ban it until the beast's disaster was over.
While the two were talking, they walked out of the extremely depressing warehouse.
The monsters still kept crashing into the cage.
In their eyes, he was imprisoned for no reason. Although the alienation in his body was gradually fading, he was regarded as a strange beast by the Yamen.
In the process of transforming from a monster into a human, it will inherit the monk's memory, skills, and even the seven emotions and six desires.
"Shanhai layman, it's best to strengthen the warehouses, including the warehouse, to prevent any more monsters from escaping. Alas..."
If an accident happens, Tang Wu must be to blame.
He did not expect that the monster's legs turned into elephant feet, and the policeman guarding the warehouse failed in his duty and failed to replenish the spiritual power of the clavicle sealing chain in time, which caused it to break free from the cage.
"Leave it to me and let this junior figure out how to restrain the monster."
Li Mo couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that he didn't have to go to the slaughterhouse.
"Senior Tang, how many days will An Baotou go to the slaughterhouse?"
"It's been more than ten days."
Li Mo remembered that An Gang had contacted him once, asking about the subsequent refining of spiritual materials from the secret bones of the Shingon Sect. Now it seems that it was probably the unconscious behavior of the black goat monster.
"Senior Tang, do you know how many monks have been to the slaughterhouse?"
"Three batches, seventy-six people."
Tangwu reacted, "I understand your concerns and think there will be monsters wandering around the town, but don't worry, they have all been temporarily transferred to Laurel Bridge by Shopkeeper Tian."
"Laurel Bridge..."
Li Mo didn't say much anymore. With Qingfang Taoist taking action, it should be safe.
He bid farewell to Tang Wu and returned to the Painting and Calligraphy Hall, planning to use Qingya Zhai as a prototype to build a house to accommodate an iron cage. The iron cage would also have to be replaced later.
For spiritual materials, you can apply directly to the Yamen. Tian Changwen is not so stingy.
In the following days, monks kept coming to visit me.
Li Mogan realized that the monks there had a strong demand for magic weapons, and he couldn't help but have the idea of opening a weapon refining shop again.
By the way, it can digest the low-grade spiritual materials produced by the Corpse Mountain.
He shamelessly asked Tian Changwen, and the latter's lack of response was regarded as acquiescence. Seeing this, the Yamen followed the trend and allowed Li Mo to trade magical artifacts in private.
Li Mo transferred Jin Li to manage the weapon refining shop, and he openly took over as the shopkeeper.
