A donkey cart drove slowly to the city gate.
The driver was a young man dressed as a farmer, and sitting in the car was a woman holding a child, and a girl whose dress was obviously incompatible with them.
The guard stopped them, first checked the man and the woman, and then pointed at the girl: "Who is this? A foreigner? A demon hunter?"
The man said hurriedly: "No, no, sir, this is our boss's young lady. Her horse sprained her foot when she entered the city. We happened to be passing by, so we gave her a ride to see my uncle."
"Really? Where does your uncle live?"
"Wenchang Bridge."
The guard whispered something to his companion and waved his hand: "Go in."
"Thank you, sir."
The donkey cart entered the city, and there were officials coming and going on the streets. The atmosphere felt very tense.
Bai Mengjin raised his chin: "Go and see, what happened?"
The man responded and squeezed into the crowd. After a while, he came over with a notice: "Miss, I heard that assassins sneaked into the palace last night and they are arresting them."
Bai Mengjin recognized Ling Bufei at a glance and frowned.
As far as she knew, the palace had the biggest problems there. Wasn't he just so unlucky? Could it be that his cultivation level is too high?
However, as long as he was not caught, the next step is to find a way to find the person.
The man was both afraid of and flattered by her, and continued: "They said they had just captured several of the assassin's accomplices!"
Bai Mengjin nodded: "Let's find a place to stay first!"
"yes."
The inn was not suitable, so we drove the donkey cart around the streets and finally rented a room next to the temple.
Bai Mengjin asked the man to go out and set up a fortune-telling stall and hang up a banner: Heaven's way is endless, and Yin and Yang are destined.
Then he asked the woman to go out and find out how many people were arrested today and their approximate descriptions.
In her previous life, she came to participate in a spiritual conference and only had foundation-building skills, so she was sent to a relatively remote place and was not affected by this storm. Only later did she find out that a big mess had occurred at this spiritual gathering.
"Bingyinzi, delicious Bingyinzi!"
"Amulet, the most useful amulet, if it doesn't work, no money!"
"Rice cake! Fragrant and sweet rice cake!"
There was a lot of excitement next to the temple. Bai Mengjin bought a rice cake, ordered a bowl of ice drink, and ate it slowly. Suddenly someone came over, and the shadow blocked the sunlight.
"Okay you! I'm exhausted, but you can take your time and eat and drink here."
Bai Mengjin looked up and saw that it was Ji Xingge who was looking at her with her hands on her hips.
She laughed, held up the rice cake and asked, "Would you like to eat it? It's very delicious."
"Forget it, I can't eat it." Ji Xingge sat down on the chair she pulled and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get the manpower? Why do I look at this person a little wrong?"
Bai Mengjin waved his hand and asked the man to continue setting up the stall, and replied: "He is a demon, and his intelligence is quite high. I suspect that he escaped from the demon sealing barrier."
Ji Xingge took a breath: "Demon sealing barrier? You mean there is a leak there?"
"It's just a guess. This place is close to the Ming River, and there is usually a leak of demonic energy, but this time it's a little more serious."
Ji Xingge understood the terrible inside story from her words. The demons that escaped from the demon-sealing barrier were different from the low-intelligence monsters they usually encountered. They were born from the womb of demons and were no different from humans. It's okay if one or two come out, but if there are more...
"First tell me what happened to you." Bai Mengjin took a bite of rice cake.
Ji Xingge looked around cautiously, placed the sound barrier again, and then said: "The place where I came in was a farm on the outskirts. I cleaned up two or three monsters there, thinking that there must be more in the capital, so I Came here. Who knew that when I entered the city, I would just bump into your senior sister who is in the autumn mood..."
All in all, Ji Xingge was lucky because he was a step late and saw Qiu Yinong being arrested, so he concealed his identity. When I entered the city, I found that the situation was worse than I imagined, and more than one or two people were arrested.
After talking about his experience, Ji Xingge asked: "What about you? Is this the demon that attacked you?"
Bai Mengjin nodded: "As soon as I came here, I met him and a female demon looking for food for their children. I thought I would stay here for a few days, so I simply left them at their mercy. Then I entered the city and saw the wanted poster... "
Ji Xingge felt envious: "You have a really good physique, you can control monsters."
After the exchange of information, Ji Xingge asked: "What should we do now? Do you have a plan?"
Bai Mengjin finished eating the rice cake and took out the handkerchief to wipe his hands: "Let's see how many people we can find before we make a decision."
Ji Xingge understood: "Under the current situation, we definitely can't fight alone. It's better to have more people."
The second person he found was a monk from the Seven Star Sect, his surname was Zhou and his name was Yiyuan.
Bai Mengjin stared at him for a while and asked, "I wonder who Zhou Yuehai is, a fellow Taoist?"
Zhou Yiyuan was surprised: "Does the girl recognize my sister?"
Bai Mengjin replied: "Senior Sister Zhou is very famous. Although I have never met her, I have known her for a long time."
Zhou Yiyuan smiled, quite proudly: "My sister's qualifications are far better than mine, but she asked me to attend the spiritual conference before I came out of seclusion this time."
The fourth one is a female cultivator from the Wuming Sword Sect, named He Shuangchi.
Bai Mengjin smiled when he saw her, she was really an acquaintance! He Shuangchi later became a god and became the Sword Lord. His swordsmanship was excellent, but he was stubborn, and he was always annoyed by her few words.
But she is no longer a devil now, and He Shuangchi is much more approachable.
"Are you a junior sister from the Wuji Sect? I saw the sign you put up..."
"Yes, Senior Sister He."
"Do you recognize me?" He Shuangchi was surprised.
Bai Mengjin said with a smile: "Senior Sister He is famous far and wide, who doesn't recognize her?"
He Shuangchi felt very comfortable, patted her shoulder and smiled boldly: "Junior sister, you are so polite, my nickname is not worth mentioning."
Ji Xingge felt strange. She used to think that Junior Sister Bai was easy-going and easy to talk to. Why did she look like she was talking nonsense now?
As darkness fell, they finally reached the last person.
A figure came out of the darkness and knocked gently on the door.
When the door opened and he saw Bai Mengjin, he smiled brightly: "I knew it was you!"
This person is none other than Ling Bufei.
He looked up and down: "Are you okay? I heard that many people were arrested."
"It's okay." Bai Mengjin opened the door and let him in, "We'll talk after you come in."
After closing the door and watching her open the barrier, Ling Bufei exhaled and said, "I've seen that sign a long time ago, but I'm wanted now, so I didn't dare to come out. I finally waited until dark before I dared to come out. meet."
He nodded to the people in the room: "Wuji Sect Ling Bufei, what do you call them?"
Unexpectedly, this was the young master of Wuji Sect. Zhou Yiyuan and He Shuangchi looked over curiously.
In the last chapter, I saw someone asking about the spiritual intelligence of demons. In this book, the spiritual intelligence of demons is not linked to cultivation. Usually people are parasitized because their brains are still there and carry some of their behavioral logic. If an object is parasitized, it is a monster with low intelligence. There is another type of demon that is transformed into a demon fetus, and this part of the soul has much higher intelligence.
