It is difficult to go up the mountain, and it is not easy to go down the mountain.
Although everyone didn't waste time searching around like they did when they came, it still took them more than half a month to get down the mountain.
During this long period of time, when he was about to go down the mountain, under Cao'er's guidance, You Yi didn't learn all about it, and he only learned to identify medicinal materials.
"I have seen stupid people in the world, but I have never seen anyone as stupid as you!" Cao'er gritted his teeth and said, "You are stupider than rich people!"
The little monk looked at her in surprise, and Cao'er was also wondering, "Who is Fu Nan?" she asked the little monk.
"Well, he is recognized as the stupidest guy in the inn." said the young monk.
"How stupid are you?" Cao'er asked curiously.
"You are stupid enough to eat the rats' relief food?" said the little monk.
"Haha, haha." Cao'er laughed forward and backward, "That's pretty stupid."
…
In an unknown village in the Central Plains, at the Cuntou Inn, the man who was cleaning the inn sneezed.
He was sitting on a ladder and was responsible for cleaning the roof. He looked around and asked, "Who is thinking about me?"
"You think too much." Yu Sheng asked someone to move the tables and chairs out from the door, "No one will miss you. At most, they will scold you!"
As he spoke, he asked the newly recruited group of raccoon monsters that visited the village men in the cave a few days ago to clean the ground.
"Don't let any corner go." Yu Sheng said.
The floor of his inn is made of newly paved stones, specially transported from Donghuang Stone Mountain.
The monster king responded with a yes and began to sweep seriously.
"Then who is scolding me?" Fu Nan asked again.
"Needless to say, it's just a mouse." Ye Zigao didn't give up the opportunity to tease the rich and poor, "I scold you for repaying kindness with hatred."
When Fu Nan repaired the roof, he blocked all the mouse holes and any places where mice could get in.
"Get lost." Fu Nan said.
He was once rescued by a mouse, which became a pain in his life.
…
After half a month, Cao'er and the others were finally close to Xia Jianmu.
More and more people were met on the road. They were perching on the roadside and did not dare to go into the woods. They seemed to be here for refuge.
Occasionally, people can be seen freezing to death, starving to death, or even being bitten to death by monsters on the roadside.
Everyone has seen dead people, but when they saw these, they couldn't help but feel a little sad. When they saw a woman dead on the roadside, half of her body was bitten by monsters, and only half of her infant child was eaten away.
Afterwards, You Yi collapsed.
"No, no, I won't go down the mountain. I, I will stay up there." You Yi took a step back and said.
The bamboo stick monster looked back at him, "Do you think it will be safe if you stay on Jianmu?"
It is not safe to be on top of a building. Even if you go up the mountain to collect herbs on weekdays, you still have to take great risks.
Not to mention that now, the entire building has become a complete purgatory.
They had encountered more monsters in the past few days than in the previous days combined. They were all bloodthirsty monsters that tasted the sweetness after eating people.
There are also some monsters, and for some unknown reason, they also come to the mountain to move around.
However, it was unlucky for these monsters and monsters to meet the little monk, and they were all stabbed to death by the little monk.
Doctor You also thought of this, so he felt a little relieved and decided to follow the young monk and the others down the mountain.
Further down, Jianmu is relatively safer. There are not so many monsters, but there are more people.
They all fled from the mountains. Many of them were injured and many were sick. Cao'er treated them one by one.
When asked what happened in Shennong City, these people just shook their heads. It wasn't that they didn't say anything, but that they didn't know.
They only knew that when night fell that day, the sky and the earth shook with several loud noises, the fire illuminated half of the sky, and the air was filled with smoke and dust.
After that, the monsters in the city began to massacre the city.
"They don't let anyone go, they kill everyone they see!" said the woman who had a child with a high fever and was saved by Cao'er.
These monsters also blocked the city gate, and the people could only flee to Jianmu in a hurry.
"There is a Temple of Medicine on the building..." Doctor You said, explaining to Cao'er, "It is also the Temple of Divine Farmer, but the name has been changed."
He continued: "How did you come up the mountain when the Temple of Medicine was guarding you?"
When talking about this, the woman became a little frightened.
She still remembers the scene when she went up the mountain, "The entire Medicine Temple, no, no, is gone!"
"Gone?!" You Yi was shocked, and Cao'er was also dumbfounded.
The woman nodded.
"Why is it missing?" Cao'er sat down with a look of disbelief.
Even if she lost her memory, she still remembered the place where the herbs were ground, brewed and refined, but now they were gone.
"Also." Cao'er looked at You Yi, "What's going on with the monsters?"
Doctor You was puzzled, "Isn't it normal for there to be demons and monsters in the Central Plains?"
"I'm not asking about this, I'm asking about Shennong City!" Cao'er said. She remembered that Shennong City, Buddha City and Tianzun City were also known as the three major cities in the Central Plains.
These three major cities, because Buddha and Tao are easy to fool the people, and Shennong City not only saves people, but also saves gods and monsters, so it is generally not disturbed by monsters.
How can monsters kill people in Shennong City now?
Doctor You was surprised, "When did this happen to you?"
"It's been a long time?" Cao'er didn't know.
She glanced at the little monk, who shook his head.
According to Cao'er's previous account at the inn, after she left Shennong City, she made money while wandering around.
He also didn't know how long Cao'er wandered after leaving Shennong City before arriving at Yangzhou City.
"Tianzun City and Buddha City are now controlled by the gods of the Central Plains. As for our Shennong City, ever since the demon god who called himself King Wudao discovered that selling medicine can make money, he drove away the city owner and occupied Shennong City himself." You.
Doctors say.
"The gods of the Central Plains don't care?" Cao'er said in surprise.
As mentioned before, the doctors and medicinal herbs in Shennong City not only treated diseases of the people, but also monsters and gods of the Central Plains.
Shennong City was occupied, and the interests of monsters, demon gods and even the gods of the Central Plains were also damaged.
The gods of the Central Plains would not tolerate the audacity of a demon god.
You Yi shook his head, "Other demon gods may not dare, but this demon god has a backer."
"backing?"
"His grandfather is one of the Nine Cities." Doctor You said.
"Nine cities?" Cao'er was puzzled. She had forgotten this part.
"Nine cities are nine city lords, but they are not nine city lords." You Yi said.
These are well known to everyone in the Central Plains.
After the Holy War, the gods of the Central Plains did not fall apart and turn into loose sand - if so, the current Central Plains may be even more chaotic. The gods of the Central Plains have long been fighting for their own interests. The reason why they cannot fight is because there are
Ninetowns is an organization.
The Nine Cities is an organization composed of nine city lords.
These nine city lords not only govern one city, but use one city as a radiating center to govern the surrounding territory.
Their territory combined is almost the Central Plains.
In other words, these nine city lords are the leaders of the gods of the Central Plains, and they are the ones who integrate the gods of the Central Plains.
The monster occupying Shennong City is the grandson of one of the Nine Cities. He has a backing, and the other Central Plains gods naturally dare not say anything about it.
