Chapter 168 Lancang City
Chapter 168 Lancang City
Before setting off, Zhong Tingyu stopped the two and released another Psylocke.
The scale powder turned into tiny pieces of spiritual light and quickly melted into the air, but an invisible aura had already been transmitted out at a rapid speed and soon reached the direction of the Bodhi Temple.
The monk with drooping eyebrows under the statue stretched out his hand, and a spirit butterfly appeared out of thin air on his palm. His excited voice quickly spread throughout the temple, "Zhu Fu Zhu Fu Zhu Fu... Where have you been? Come out and play!"
"Shh—he should be in the Buddhist temple at this time. No noise should be made in the temple."
"Oh oh..." The childish voice lowered a little, Qin Baiqing became more cautious, and whispered in a low voice: "Zhu Fu, we have to go to rescue Chiwu. Zhong Tingyu said he wants to take you with him. Let's go quickly."
"You two are actually good friends, how strange..."
"Why do the monks have such a good relationship with the young master of the Beast Taming Sect? Don't you think Zhong Tingyu has a bad temper and doesn't want to play with him?"
"..."
There were constant murmuring sounds coming from the room. Zhu Fu apologized to his fellow disciples and then followed their instructions to go out and meet up with a few other people.
"Amitabha." He chanted the Buddha's name, his expression still humble, and nodded to the three people.
"Everyone is here!" Qin Baiqing led the way happily, and couldn't wait to see what the demon cultivation world looked like.
The world of cultivation is generally on a flat continent. Although the worlds of Taoism and demons do not blend together, they are not clearly divided either. For thousands of years, they have been getting along awkwardly like neighbors who dislike each other. On the surface, one can even say that there is harmony between them.
It's just that the two settlements are far apart and no one easily crosses the boundary. Perhaps it is this mutual dislike and tacit understanding that avoids a lot of friction.
So it seemed a bit abrupt that the group of four followed the trail of the Red Crow and landed in the Demon Gate city.
"Lancang City."
Qin Baiqing exclaimed in amazement and followed the crowd inside. After seeing the scene inside, she was a little disappointed.
"It's similar to the city at the foot of the mountain. There's no sign of demonic cultivators at all." She put away her expectations in disappointment and walked through the crowded streets.
"What should a demon cultivator be like?"
"There was blood and flesh everywhere, fighting and killing, and wreckage everywhere... It was so scary!"
"..."
The three of them were silent. Feng Budu sighed silently, picked up Qin Baiqing who was almost washed away by the crowd, and apologized to the two of them: "Sorry, the child has little experience, probably learned it from books."
"It's a story Yukie told me!"
"She has little experience." Feng Budu simply covered his mouth to interrupt her, stuffed a mouthful of snacks into her mouth, and followed Zhong Tingyu to continue looking for traces of Chiwu.
"I can only roughly sense the direction of Chiwu, nothing more precise, but Chiwu must be near this city."
They stood in the center of the city. Zhong Tingyu tried to find the exact location of Chiwu but failed many times. On the contrary, because he was in the downtown area, he saw a lot of the prosperity of the city.
……
"Another batch has arrived."
In the distance, the black-clothed demon cultivators were shouting their wares. Feng Budu fell into deep thought. "I've been in the city for two hours, and I've encountered cultivators selling red beads four times by chance. They were snatched away every time. What on earth are these red beads?"
He was still observing, but Zhong Tingyu's face suddenly changed. He stared at the red beads in the hands of a passerby next to him, his face visibly gloomy.
"Inside the red bead, there is the aura of the Red Crow bloodline."
He was busy chasing and did not notice the red beads, but now he was not far from the merchant, and the strong and familiar smell of blood almost made Zhong Tingyu explode instantly.
The beast-controlling magic in the body is wailing and trembling.
Another low chant of Buddhist chanting calmed Zhong Tingyu's almost violent breath. Zhu Fu held Zhong Tingyu down and asked Qin Baiqing with a heavy heart: "Can you see the abnormality of Hongzhu?"
"I--"
"Wait," Feng Budu pressed Qin Baiqing down and suddenly asked Zhong Tingyu, "If you really couldn't stand watching such an important monster in your family being tortured, why didn't your father come?"
Why else? Of course, he couldn't lose face! Zhong Tingyu roared inwardly.
But how could he say such things directly? He simply kept silent and pretended he didn't hear it.
"Oh..." Feng Budu raised his eyebrows and understood.
His house was robbed, but he refused to come and take it back in person. Feng Budu had no comment on this.
He quickly retracted his gaze and was about to remind Qin Baiqing not to be the first to stand up for the Beast Taming Sect, but when he turned around, he found that the person who had been staying in his arms just now was gone, and he was left with nothing.
Not far away, a petite figure stopped the demon cultivator who was contentedly selling all the red beads, and asked curiously on tiptoe: "Uncle, what are you selling? Is it delicious? What is it good for? Where did you make it--"
"Open up, open up."
The demon cultivator frowned, interrupted Qin Baiqing's endless questioning, and continued walking.
But just as he took one step out, he couldn't help but blurt out, "Nirvana Pill, not tasty, has a chance of improving aptitude after taking it, picked it up outside the city..."
His eyes were blank and he stood there in a daze. He answered every question Qin Baiqing asked, even telling him that he had once stolen his master's storage bag and sold it to a pawnshop, and was hung up and beaten by his master.
Qin Baiqing listened with great interest.
She grabbed a handful of fruit in her hand and munched on them while listening. The truth-spitting talisman behind the demon cultivator flashed with light and controlled his thoughts.
Let him speak out everything he knows.
"What does it feel like to be hung up and beaten? Can you show me now?"
"Oh... who bumped into me."
Seeing that the demon cultivator was about to start his performance, the demon cultivators who had been watching and looting retreated when they saw that the goods were gone, and the crowd interrupted the conversation between Qin Baiqing and the demon cultivator.
It also knocked off the truth-spitting talisman on the demon cultivator's body.
"You shameless boy dare to do something to me!" The demon cultivator reacted, shouted angrily, and decisively used a killing move on Qin Baiqing. The demon cultivator's move was ruthless and did not leave Qin Baiqing any room to react.
She had nowhere to retreat and looked blankly at the cold and silent people around her. Her motionless appearance made the demon cultivator think that she had been frightened silly.
But the next moment, Qin Baiqing stretched out a hand and gently tapped the oncoming evil spirit.
The demonic energy was annihilated in an instant, and spiritual light came to the demon cultivator with sparks and lightning. His pupils suddenly shrank, and he had no time to dodge. Before his vision fell into complete darkness, he seemed to hear the regretful voice of a little girl.
"Why are you so weak?"
She just wanted to try out the power of her new skills.
This evil cultivator simply... shattered.
"But I haven't finished asking." She looked around and saw that some demon cultivators who had bought Nirvana Pills had not left. She asked hesitantly, "Hello, who can help me--"
Before he finished speaking, the figures dispersed, leaving a vacuum zone with Qin Baiqing as the center of the circle, allowing Feng Budu to see her at a glance.
There was no one around to ask, so Qin Baiqing left with regret and had to take a few people to look for Nirvana Pill outside the city.
After the figures of several people completely left, the street gradually returned to normal. Figures appeared in the dark and then left, telling a figure whose face could not be seen everything that happened today.
