Liu Yu invited Ai Yuanmu back to the room and asked Xiaoguo to prepare wine and food. Eight years ago, after Ai Yuanmu was expelled from Huang Shengzong, the two lost contact. They finally met today, so naturally they wanted to get together and have a few drinks.
The two of them were a little reserved at first, but after a few glasses of wine, they started to talk. When we talked about their respective experiences in the past eight years, we couldn't help but lament the uncertainty of fate. Liu Yu naturally had nothing to say. Before coming to Yannan City, he had been staying in Huangsheng Mountain.
Ai Yuanmu's experience over the years is a bit sad. After being expelled from Huang Shengzong, Ai Yuanmu first went back to his hometown and practiced for a year. After taking care of the family affairs, he went out to seek for immortality. Ai Yuanmu did not give up his pursuit of Taoism.
Years of aimless wandering were extremely difficult and often dangerous. The terrifying scar on Ai Yuanmu's face was caused by being struck by a knife during a fight. The situation was very dangerous at that time. If the knife had penetrated a little deeper, Ai Yuanmu's life would have been sealed.
Liu Yu looked at the centipede-like scars covering Ai Yuanmu's face, and could imagine how dangerous it was at that time, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken for Ai Yuanmu.
"Later, Brother Wei came to Gaoyang City by chance. It happened that the sect was recruiting Celestial Masters, so Brother Wei went to apply. The sect thought of Brother Wei's special status and gave priority to the recruitment. He was assigned to Pinghu County to be a Celestial Master. , it has been more than two years." Ai Yuanmu continued to narrate.
"Brother Ai, how far is Pinghu County from here?" Liu Yu asked. Pinghu County is definitely not under the jurisdiction of Yannancheng.
"Pinghu County is under the jurisdiction of Fengshan City. It is about ten days' journey from Yannan City, which is not too far." Ai Yi replied after taking a sip of wine.
"Brother Yu slayed demons last time, and it was very beautiful. It was only after I heard about it that I realized that you were in Yannan City, so close. I have always wanted to come to you, but I was delayed by things." Ai Yuanmu Then he said.
In fact, if he didn't have something important to do and had no choice but to come to Liu Yu for help, Ai Yuanmu would never come to see Liu Yu. He didn't want Liu Yu to see him in such a mess.
"Brother, you can send someone to write me a letter. I have nothing to do on weekdays, so you can go to Pinghu County to find your brother!" Liu Yu said regretfully. If he had known that Ai Yuanmu was so close, he would have gone there long ago.
"Brother, I forgot about it for a moment." Ai Yuanmu replied awkwardly, and could only evade it by saying that he didn't expect it.
"Brother, I came here this time because I have something important to ask Brother Yu for help." Ai Yuanmu decided to explain his purpose.
"Brother Ai, what's going on?" Liu Yu asked curiously.
One day, villagers from Daniu Village under Pinghu County came to ask for help, saying that more than ten people had disappeared in the village in a row, and the whole village was panicked. The more than ten missing people were all hunters in the village, and they had not returned for half a month after entering the mountains.
Several cattle were also lost in the village. When the villagers woke up one night, only a pool of blood was left in the cattle shed, and the cattle were missing. Some villagers heard the painful cry of the cattle at night, and cattle disappeared for several days. This frightened the villagers, who thought there was a monster at work, and quickly sent people to Pinghu County to report the incident.
Ai Yuanmu, as the Celestial Master of Pinghu County, quickly arrived at Daniu Village with the police. Daniu Village is a relatively large village with more than 200 households. It is located at the foot of the mountain. The villagers mainly rely on hunting and farming to make a living.
There is a big mountain in front of the village, shaped like an ox, which is called Daniu Mountain by the villagers. The mountains are densely forested, overgrown with weeds, and have a lot of game. Villagers go hunting in the mountains and often get big harvests.
After asking many villagers in the village, Ai Yuanmu thought that there might be zombies appearing in the mountains. This zombie would come to the village every now and then at night to hunt and kill cattle. Ai Yuanmu decided to wait and wait, ambush in the village at night, and kill the zombie.
At the end of the village at night, an old scalper was tied up under an old tree. Ai Yuanmu and a group of detectives were hiding in a small forest not far away. The sky is not good, there is no moon in the sky at night, the night is so dark that you can't see anything clearly just a few steps away, and the surroundings are silent except for the chirping of insects.
Suddenly, there was a sound of "sand, sand". Ai Yuanmu's heart skipped a beat and he secretly told the detectives to get ready. Ai Yuanmu asked the detectives to prepare several large nets in advance. The large nets were made of strong hemp rope.
In the dark night, two red dots appeared, getting brighter and brighter from far to near. They were eyes the size of a pair of fists, accompanied by the sound of heavy breathing. The old scalper circled uneasily around the big tree, making a rapid "moo" sound from his mouth.
Ai Yuanmu became increasingly uneasy, something was not right. The object was not a zombie, and Ai Yuanmu realized that he had guessed wrong. The thing approaching in the dark was very large, with blood-red eyes, making people cautious.
The old scalper was thrown to the ground with a bang, kicking all four legs and making fierce sounds. Although I didn’t know what was coming, I had no choice but to take action.
Ai Yuanmu rushed out suddenly, the real flame knife in his hand exploded into a flame, and the detectives also ran over carrying the big net. As Ai Yuanmu got closer, the huge figure in the darkness slowly became clear. A giant wolf, bigger than an ox, bit the old ox's neck with its huge mouth, and pressed its body on top of the old ox.
The giant wolf faced Ai Yuanmu and let out a loud roar that shook the forest.
"Get back!" Ai Yuanmu shouted, telling the approaching agents to retreat quickly. This giant wolf was not something they could handle. Ai Yuanmu also stopped and looked at the giant wolf not far away, not daring to move rashly. The pressure the giant wolf gave him was too strong and very dangerous.
The giant wolf slowly stood up and walked toward the mountain with the old ox in its mouth. He walked slowly, looking back at Ai Yuanmu from time to time, very wary.
"You guys go back first, I'll follow up and take a look." Ai Yuanmu ordered the approaching policeman.
"Don't talk nonsense when you go back. Remember it." After thinking about it, he ordered again. He mobilized his body and chased after the giant wolf in the direction where it disappeared.
Soon after, Ai Yuanmu kept up with the giant wolf from a distance. The giant wolf was very fast, but because it was carrying the old ox in its mouth, it would sometimes stop to rest for a while.
Ai Yuanmu didn't know whether he should take action or not, and was a little hesitant. The terrifying giant wolf in front must be a spiritual beast, but I don’t know what kind it is. It puts too much pressure on him, and I don’t know if he can beat it.
The whole body of a spiritual beast can be filled with treasures, and its flesh and blood can be cooked and eaten, which can greatly promote cultivation. Fur and teeth are materials for making magic weapons, and they can be exchanged for a large amount of spiritual stones when sold in the market.
Ai Yuanmu has three mixed spiritual roots and poor qualifications. His clan members are just ordinary secular businessmen and cannot be of much help to him. The resources for cultivating immortals are extremely scarce, and the cultivation level has only reached the fourth level of Qi training so far, so the road to cultivation is very bumpy. There are no resources in hand, and his cultivation level has stalled.
The situation of being kicked out of the Huang Sheng Sect was still vivid in his mind, and it often appeared in front of his eyes, urging Ai Yuanmu every moment to work harder in cultivation and not to relax and give up.
Ai Yuanmu's heart was cruel, he picked up the knife and chased forward quickly. The road to road construction was already full of dangers. In his current situation, if he didn't seize the opportunity and give it a try, there would be no hope of building a foundation.
