Use Qinggong to run quickly.
"Get out of the mountain and enter the city!" the little Taoist nun said weakly, lying on Xu Sheng's back.
Xu Sheng nodded and said, "Understood!"
Xu Sheng had thought before: Are the immortal cultivators in this world too weak?
But Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun have also talked a lot these days.
I know that these immortal cultivators in the Liaozhai world are actually not that strong.
They do have extraordinary power when they use their magic.
But their magic power cannot be used randomly!
They are all used with care and treasure just like poor people spend their money!
They also generally do not reveal their extraordinary qualities in front of ordinary people.
Not to mention that he will not show his holiness in front of people in the city.
Because these may become karma-ridden!
For example, after you become a saint in front of others, some dignitaries insist on pestering you to do something for them, which is troublesome.
What's more, if you are targeted by the entire imperial court's ideology, you will be in big trouble!
Can you kill one or two officials, one or two gangs of police officers, and quickly kill one or two thousand soldiers?
But what if the entire court gives you trouble?
If you're being targeted by someone, you'll be fine just by wasting your mana and eradicating the weeds.
But once you are targeted by the 'ideology' of the dynasty, it is a nightmare for practitioners in this world!
Unless you can kill everyone in the world or directly change the dynasty!
Otherwise your troubles will never be endless.
Because as long as the 'ideology' of the dynasty lasts.
When a group of officials, policemen, and soldiers die, a new group will take up their posts.
Endless!
Never stop!
How can a monk who doesn't have that much mana to use resist it? !
In short, these various factors that prevent them from cultivating with peace of mind can easily cause consumption to them and thus delay their becoming immortals.
Therefore, these practitioners basically do not show their holiness in front of others.
The reason why many people live in seclusion and cut off love is because they don’t want to be contaminated by karma!
They hope to cultivate in a peaceful environment that does not consume their potential to become immortals.
Every time mana is used, it is a waste of resources and becomes a stumbling block on the road to becoming an immortal!
It’s so difficult to be an immortal cultivator in the Liaozhai world!
If their magic power could be used endlessly, how could they be willing to huddle in the mountains?
He has come out a long time ago to use his magic power to suppress the army and unify the world, receiving the incense and worship of millions of people!
A few hours later.
Xu Sheng took the little Taoist nun into a city ruled by the Zhao warlord.
Chunyangzi did not chase him.
"How are you, Fairy Aunt, are you okay?" Xu Sheng asked the little Taoist nun he was carrying on his back as he walked on the crowded street.
"I can't die yet, I'm just exhausted of my mana and injured."
The Taoist girl said with a pale face: "Hurry up and find an inn to stay. I must absorb your yang energy as soon as possible to restore my mana and then use it to heal my own injuries. Otherwise, if I delay for too long, my Taoism may fall!"
Xu Sheng had talked a lot with the little Taoist nun before.
I know that among practitioners like the little Taoist nun, there are two concepts: Taoism and magic power.
Taoism is the realm!
Mana is equivalent to the inner strength of martial arts.
Every time the little Taoist nun used her magic power, she would absorb Xu Sheng's yang energy to restore her magic power.
But Taoism requires her to improve through her own practice.
"There's an inn over there!"
Xu Sheng nodded and said, "Xiangu, please bear with me!"
"Let's go now!" He carried the little Taoist nun on his back and hurriedly shuttled through the crowd towards the inn.
ten minutes later.
In the hotel room.
"Xu Longsheng, my limbs are a little weak now. It's inconvenient for me to move, so you can do it."
The little Taoist nun was lying on the bedside with a pale face. She pursed her delicate lips and said, "Come closer!"
"Xiangu, do you want to drink some water first?"
Xu Sheng stepped forward quickly: "Do you want me to pour you a glass of water?"
"Need not."
The little Taoist nun shook her head gently, and after speaking, she opened her lips and whispered: "Amitabha!"
In the blink of an eye, it was half a month later.
Xu Sheng carried the little Taoist nun to the gate of another city under the rule of the Zhao warlord.
At this time, the little Taoist nun has of course recovered all her magic power.
"The fight against that old guy half a month ago was the first time I used magic so unscrupulously."
The little Taoist nun, who was still brooding about what happened a month ago, lay on Xu Sheng's back and sighed: "What a pity, that old guy is too spiritual! Even if I don't begrudge my magic power, I still can't kill him!"
With a soft voice, her messy hair inadvertently pricked Xu Sheng's neck, causing a slight tickling feeling.
"Wait until we catch the Painted Skin Demon and your moral character improves before you kill him."
Xu Sheng said: "Aren't we already in this city?"
When entering the city, Xu Sheng of course put the little Taoist nun off his back.
"Xiangu, are you sure that the painted skin spirit is really in this city?"
Xu Sheng couldn't help but ask as he looked at the people coming and going on the streets of the city who were no different from the human cities he had seen before.
He had no idea before that there were goblins and immortal cultivators walking in such a city.
The same city now has a different color in Xu Sheng's eyes.
"I'm not sure either."
The little Taoist nun said: "But since there has been a corpse mutilation case here, it may be the painting spirit!"
That's right, the clue to the little Taoist nun's so-called Painted Skin Essence is a corpse case.
When Xu Sheng was on Earth, the painted-skinned demons in the movies he watched were very arrogant when they were eating people's hearts.
He grabbed the person's heart directly with his sharp claws, dug it out, ate it, and then just left the body there.
When a person sees a corpse like that, he will exclaim that it is a monster.
As a result, the ending of the movie is of course that this arrogant painted skin spirit is killed by a team of human warriors and Taoist masters.
Before he died, the painted skin spirit was still crying and touching himself, saying that he sacrificed for love.
Xu Sheng really wanted to say that it was obviously because you didn't have enough strength and yet you were arrogantly committing suicide, okay?
Xu Sheng originally thought that the painters in this world were the same as those in the movies.
I thought that when I arrived in the target city, I would see residents talking about the terrifying incident of monsters eating people’s hearts.
At that time, he and the little Taoist nun stood up and showed off their power, causing the people to exclaim "Master" and then worshiped them one by one!
It's a pity that people here are not discussing Hua Pi Jing at all!
They don't even know that Hua Pi Jing exists.
Because this skin-painting spirit is not that stupid or arrogant at all!
The bodies of those who died after its hearts were eaten were minced!
It used very clever means to disguise it as an ordinary murder case of corpse dismemberment.
A few hours later.
"Our next step is to get the detailed information on the case of corpse dismemberment in the Yamen!"
The little Taoist nun said solemnly: "In this way, we can more accurately determine whether this is a corpse mutilation case made by humans, or a corpse mutilation case disguised by a painting spirit for food. Let's do this..." She planned all kinds of things.
"Want the dossier?"
But Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Why bother? It's just a matter of words."
"you mean?"
The little Taoist nun was stunned: "Do you have someone in the yamen here?"
"I remember there should be!"
Xu Sheng nodded: "Give me some time, I'll contact you!"
When Xu Sheng left, Xu Huateng gave Xu Sheng a list.
Xu Sheng, Xu's lurking personnel spread all over the world, can be mobilized at will.
It was night in a blink of an eye.
"Is this a dossier? Did you really get it?"
The little Taoist nun opened her cherry mouth wide again when she looked at the file handed over by Xu Sheng.
"Damn warlord brother!" she snorted.
Of course Xu Sheng just smiled at this.
He knew that the little Taoist nun certainly didn't think he was really hateful.
Rather, she was expressing her envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Xu Sheng, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
But how did she know that Xu Sheng's current noble background was also the foundation laid by him in his previous life.
If he hadn't accumulated a lot of wealth in his previous life, gave birth to a large number of descendants, and scattered the descendants and wealth all over the world.
How and where did the Xu family warlord, one of the seven major forces in the world, come from? Where did he get the origin of the noble warlord son he is now?
A quarter of an hour later.
"It should be made by Hua Pi Jing."
After reading the dossier carefully, the little Taoist nun said: "That's right!"
"Why? How can you tell?"
Xu Sheng asked doubtfully: "I have read this file several times, but it seems to me that it is no different from a corpse dismemberment case committed by an ordinary human murderer?"
"Intuition!" the little Taoist nun said confidently.
"???" Xu Sheng opened his mouth wide: "That's it?"
"Can't you?" The little Taoist nun said confidently.
"..." Xu Sheng.
Later, the little Taoist nun explained that she did not have any special magic weapon to sense the existence of demons.
"I can only rely on my own senses. But that has to wait until the demon uses its demonic power!"
The little Taoist nun continued: "She is just like an ordinary person when she doesn't use her demonic power. I have no way of telling whether she is a human or a demon. Especially the Painted Skin Demon, its ability to disguise itself is second to none among the demons. .”
"That's it." Xu Sheng nodded.
Thinking about it, it's no wonder that he, Lu Chengzhong and others had been following Hu Xinfeng and Xiaoyou for several years, but the two monsters didn't notice them!
It is very likely that Hu Xinfeng and Xiao You did not use their magic power at that time and lived like two normal ordinary people.
That's why they didn't realize that Xu Sheng and the others were watching.
Xu Sheng and the others were completely unaware of anything unusual between Hu Xinfeng and Xiao You.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past month, Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun have visited dozens of nearby cities.
We obtained the files related to corpse mutilation cases from the yamen in various cities.
Most cities directly used Xu's hidden personnel to take out the files.
In some cities, Xu Sheng could only use his super martial arts skills to sneak in late at night and steal.
There are some mechanisms that cannot be opened by martial arts or would cause too much damage if opened, so the little Taoist nun can only use magic power to open them and obtain them.
In short, they successfully obtained all the files they wanted.
Because I can’t find the demon!
It's quite a monster hunt, so we can only investigate the case first!
Then the two began to analyze the files and look for clues.
However, no special clues were found in the end.
In the end, the little Taoist nun told Xu Sheng that they could only try their luck in cities where the Painted Skin Demon might be based on some small clues in the files.
"Fairies are very hidden in human cities! Those fairies who don't have super strength but are very arrogant and don't hide themselves or don't know how to hide themselves have long been dead! Either they were strangled by the army or they were collected and refined by human immortal cultivators. !”
But the little Taoist nun explained: "Conquering demons depends on a certain amount of luck. Otherwise, why would those practitioners walk around the world? You should have seen some monks and some old Taoist priests walking around in various cities. Right? They are just trying their luck!"
Xu Sheng opened his mouth wide.
But he was speechless.
Because what the little Taoist nun said makes sense.
