Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea is seven thousand miles into the sea. It is a long way. With the cultivation levels of Xu Ran and Lu Xueqi, it would take ten days to fly with a sword. This is still a short time because they are located in the Central Plains and are thousands of miles away from the East China Sea.
miles distance.
Moreover, it is impossible to fly day and night. Long-term sword flying consumes a lot of spiritual energy, so every time you fly for two or three hours, you have to stop and take a rest.
At night, we rest in the nearest town.
Along the way, I spent a lot of time admiring the scenery along the way. Fortunately, not only were there scenery along the way, but I also had beautiful women following me around, so Xu Randao didn't feel bored.
Day 4, afternoon.
Xu Ran stood high in the sky, overlooking a small town below. He turned to Lu Xueqi and said to Lu Xueqi next to him: "Senior sister, we are approaching the East China Sea soon. We will recharge here today and rush on our way tomorrow."
After rushing for several days without taking a long break when stopping, Lu Xueqi's bright and pretty face showed a trace of fatigue. She didn't make any sense to Xu Ran's proposal and nodded.
To avoid attracting unnecessary attention, the two of them descended outside the town and followed a stone road into the town ahead. At the entrance of the town, there was a stone tablet named Xiaochi Town.
"Xiaochi Town"
Xu Ran felt a little familiar when he saw these three words.
After thinking about it carefully, I remembered that in the original work, there were monsters in Xiaochi Town, and Zhang Xiaofan got the Xuanhuojian, the valley-suppressing artifact of Fenxiang Valley, by chance, which was a stroke of luck.
I don’t know if Zhang Xiaofan came here in advance. If not, he might be able to get a treasure, which is no less than a treasure like the Dragon Slaying Sword. Xu Ran rubbed his chin and thought.
"Junior brother, what's wrong with you?" Lu Xueqi couldn't help but asked when she saw Xu Ran was silently on the spot.
"Oh, it's nothing, let's go in" Xu Ran came back to his senses and said with a slight smile.
The two of them entered Xiaochi Town along the path. Although the two of them had put on ordinary clothes before arriving, the two of them came in and attracted sideways glances from the onlookers.
No matter how they conceal their ordinary appearance, they cannot conceal the unique temperament of a monk. Moreover, Lu Xueqi's face is so beautiful that it is difficult not to attract others' attention.
Most of the people in Xiaochi Town wore coarse clothes and had simple folk customs. They looked at the two outsiders curiously.
The two of them walked along the path in Xiaochi Town. Finally, Xu Ran faced an inn called 'Sanli Inn' and said, 'Sister, let's settle in this inn tonight.'
"Junior brother, just make the decision." Lu Xueqi pursed her lips.
The two walked into Sanli Inn together, Xu Ran asked for two guest rooms, dropped four taels of silver, and the innkeeper happily went to arrange the room for Xu Ran.
After asking for a room, Xu Ran ordered some more food and ate with Lu Xueqi in the lobby. Halfway through the meal, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded outside.
"The mayor has called for everyone to gather."
"Let's get there quickly"
Then the two of them saw many people running on the street, running in the direction of the gong, looking eager.
"Shop, what are the villagers in your town doing?" Xu Ran asked curiously.
"Hey, you are not locals, are you?" When the store owner heard Xu Ran's question, he said with a sad face: "We in Xiaochi Town have always been peaceful, but recently a monster came here, ten miles away from our Xiaochi Town.
They live in black stone caves, and every once in a while, they come to our Xiaochi town and kidnap cattle and sheep, causing us misery."
The store owner looked like he was spitting: "This monster has great magic power and profound moral principles. As ordinary people, we naturally can't do anything about it. Recently, this monster has become more and more unscrupulous. It kidnapped our cattle and sheep and killed them when we found them resisting."
We, the villagers of Xiaochi Town”.
"This monster is giving us a huge headache. The mayor is calling everyone together to discuss how to get rid of this monster. He hopes to find a way to get rid of the monster and give us a peaceful life," the store owner said with a depressed look.
"Now that the righteous path is flourishing, evildoers dare to come out to cause trouble and harm the people. The crime should be punished with death," Lu Xueqi said with a cold face.
Growing up in the Qingyun Sect, the sect instilled in Lu Xueqi the idea of slaying demons and doing justice for heaven, so when encountering this kind of thing, the justice in Lu Xueqi's heart was inspired.
In fact, every righteous disciple has been instilled with this concept.
As for Xu Ran, he didn't think about getting rid of the demon now, but was surprised. If the prediction was correct, the demon in Xiaochi Town should be the fox demon in the original work.
Logically speaking, this monster will be eliminated by Zhang Xiaofan and others, and the treasure will also be obtained by Zhang Xiaofan.
Could it be that his arrival changed the plot of Zhu Xian, and Zhang Xiaofan did not pass by here.
"Little girl, be careful, that monster has great powers, don't let that monster listen to what you say." The store owner said nervously when he saw Lu Xueqi, a little girl, saying such disgusting words about monsters.
The monster has killed several people and made people in Xiaochi Town panic. There is no reason why the store owners should not be afraid.
"Junior brother, let's go out and see what evildoer is causing harm here." Lu Xueqi turned her head and asked Xu Ran for her opinion.
"Forget it, let's go out and take a look," Xu Ran thought for two seconds and said.
If the monster in Xiaochi Town is a fox demon, it is necessary for me to go this time, because the fox demon has a Xuanhuo Jian in his hand, which is regarded as an artifact in the world of Zhu Xian.
If you don't go, wouldn't you be losing an artifact in vain?
The two got up and walked outside.
The shopkeeper watched the two people walking out of the shop and shook his head speechlessly. He just regarded the two as a man and woman who loved to join in the fun. When he actually saw the monster, he knew he would be afraid.
After the two went out, they walked a short distance and saw a large group of people in front of them. Three or four of them were in charge, standing on a high platform, facing hundreds of Xiaochi Town villagers below.
"Dear villagers, that monster is really powerful. Ordinary people like us are far from being the opponent of the monster. A month ago, the monster didn't hurt people, but only took some cattle and sheep. But recently, the monster started to hurt people, and several people died.
In the hands of monsters, I am anxious for you to come here today so that you can come up with ideas on how to subdue the monsters in Black Rock Cave." A man on the high platform said impassionedly to the villagers below.
"Mayor, what do you think we should do?"
"I think we can move out of Xiaochi Town"
"But our ancestors have lived here for generations. This is our root. Even if we move away, where can we move to?"
"That's right, I don't want to move away."
There was a heated discussion among the villagers below. Some agreed to move, while others disagreed.
"Everyone, be quiet." The mayor pressed his hands down and said to everyone: "I discussed with Li Baozhang and Fan Xiucai to put up a notice asking cultivators to come and catch monsters, but this will cost a lot of money, so I ask you all to do your best.
Help”.
"What do you think of my proposal?" After a pause, the mayor looked at everyone and asked.
