Qi State, Haiyang County, Luqu County.
Luqu County is the largest of the nine county towns in Haiyang County. With 100,000 households in the city, it is the most prosperous place in Haiyang County.
Because the waterways are extremely developed, large ships of merchants traveling from the north to the south and from the southern counties to the north often berth at the wharf outside Luqu County.
Su Fan was sitting on a carriage, dozing off as the carriage bumped.
"Old Su, Luqu County has arrived..."
Hearing the shouts, Su Fan trembled and looked around blankly.
He realized when he saw a middle-aged strong man waving to him.
Su Fan picked up the sword beside him, jumped out of the carriage with his hands, and came to the middle-aged man's side.
The other party patted him on the shoulder and laughed and said: "I will take you to the city for dinner in a while. The river delicacies in Wangjiang Tower are excellent."
Su Fan chuckled and declined: "I won't go..."
"That can't be done. Let's have a nice drink together today and find a hotel to relieve your fatigue. I'll personally take you to the ship tomorrow morning."
Su Fan couldn't resist him, so he had to be pulled into the city by the strong man.
After leaving Heixuan City, Su Fan drove the "Yinfeng Boat" all the way east, flying for more than a thousand miles.
He didn't stop until he saw the mortal town.
Su Fan pretended to be a martial artist and lived in a mortal town for a few days.
Su Fan's original idea was to find a place in the secular world and stay comfortably for a few years.
But since he moved into a mortal town, he gave up this idea.
The mortal world is very prosperous and lively, much more exciting than the place where monks gather.
But for monks, it is really not suitable for long-term living.
First of all, the spiritual energy was very thin. Even if Su Fan practiced with a small spirit gathering array, after a few days, the progress would be almost nonexistent.
The aura of mortal towns, not to mention Heixuan City, even the shanty towns outside Shaoyangfang City is several times richer than here.
Fortunately, he still has the Guiyuan Pill in his hand. Taking one every day can improve him a little bit.
The cost-effectiveness ratio is really low, better than nothing.
Furthermore, secular society is filled with all kinds of turbidity, and ordinary people have no feeling at all.
However, the monk's five senses of consciousness are extremely sharp and he can feel it clearly.
It's okay if you're in the wilderness, but once you enter the city, it becomes unbearable for a long time.
No wonder those poor casual cultivators in Shaoyangfang City would rather live in shabby shantytowns than return to the mortal world.
Although there are monks in the mortal world, they are all older casual cultivators.
Either there is no hope of breakthrough, or the end is approaching.
In this world of cultivation, people with spiritual roots can be said to be rare.
Even if you have spiritual roots, more than 80% of them are miscellaneous spiritual roots.
As for the descendants of monks, the probability of being born with spiritual roots is much higher than that of mortals.
Therefore, these monks in the mortal world would marry wives and concubines and have a lot of children.
I just hope that before I die, I can leave one or two descendants with spiritual roots for myself.
During the few days Su Fan stayed in the town, he studied the Liangzhou map carefully every day.
The top priority is to get out of the True Demon Sect's control area as soon as possible.
Continue all the way east, anyway, the closer to Yongzhou, the better.
Wang Zhi's disappearance will definitely attract the attention of their family.
As long as we go to Shaoyangfang City to investigate, we will definitely find him in the end.
For the sake of safety, Su Fan decided to hide in the mortal world before leaving the area controlled by the True Demon Sect.
He also needs to use the "Void Spirit Technique" and "Invisible Spirit Technique" to completely cover his aura.
Even if the True Demon Sect sent people to hunt him down, it would be almost impossible to find him in the vast crowd of secular society.
There happened to be a caravan recruiting guards in the town, so Su Fan went to apply and became a guard of the caravan.
In the next few months, he followed the caravan all the way to Luqu County in Qi State.
According to the map of Liangzhou, if you take a boat in Luqu County and sail along the Qingcang River for several hundred miles, you will arrive at the border of Zhao State.
When they arrived in Zhao State, they were out of the True Demon Sect's sphere of influence.
Su Fan's destination was Cangjiu City, thousands of miles away, which was within the sphere of influence of the Demon Sect Yinluo Sect.
He wanted to settle down in Cangjiu City temporarily, wait for the situation in Yongzhou to stabilize, and then find a way to return to Yongzhou.
Su Fan was pulled by the strong man towards Luqu County, not far away.
This strong man's name is Hu Guanghai, he is also a guard of the caravan, and he is a native of Luqu County.
He is a generous and righteous person, and he gets along particularly well with Su Fan. The two of them have been getting along well in the past few months.
Su Fan walked into Luqu County. The streets were quite wide, with restaurants, inns and other shops lined up on both sides. People came in and out, creating a bustling scene.
The streets were crowded with people, and there were large green cloth umbrellas held up by various stalls on both sides of the road. It was bustling and very lively.
The two came to Wangjiang Tower and asked for a private seat by the window.
Hu Guanghai ordered a table full of dishes, and the two of them drank and chatted while admiring the beautiful scenery of Qingcang River.
"Lao Su, you will be leaving tomorrow, so I would like to toast you with this drink..."
Su Fan quickly raised his glass and clinked it with Lao Hu.
"Brother, thank you for taking care of me along the way..."
Lao Hu raised his head and drank the wine, then wiped his mouth.
"Brother, if you have the opportunity to come to Qi again in the future, you must come to me..."
Su Fan smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a heartbreaking wail coming from the street outside.
The two looked at each other, quickly stood up and walked out of the private room.
The windows facing the street on the second floor were already crowded with people, all of them diners coming here to eat.
Hu Guanghai and Su Fan were both tall and strong, so they squeezed in within a few seconds.
They looked down and saw pedestrians running away in all directions, crying, and the stalls on both sides of the street were knocked upside down.
"Look at that person..."
A waiter in the store suddenly shouted and pointed to the street.
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a person running towards here.
Strictly speaking, this is no longer a person.
This is a monster that looks like a human and an animal. It is more than two meters tall and is covered in scarlet red, as if it has been skinned alive.
The monster lay on all fours, its back arched, and a long tail behind its butt, making it look like a beast preparing to attack.
A pair of cold-blooded green eyes, with a strange smile frozen on the corner of his mouth, revealing sharp fangs.
Ouch! !
The monster looked up to the sky and howled wildly, making a blood-curdling roar.
The figure lunged forward, and several passers-by who had no time to escape were instantly thrown to the ground by it.
A burst of crazy biting, tearing several passers-by to pieces in just a few strokes.
The monster jumped violently, and in an instant it had jumped dozens of meters away. It rushed into the crowd ferociously, biting wildly and wantonly.
From time to time, people would be torn to pieces by it, leaving corpses everywhere.
Hu Guanghai was angry at that time. He raised his feet and jumped downstairs, hoping to fight the monster on the street.
But before he could jump, Su Fan reached out and pulled him back.
Su Fan held Hu Guanghai firmly and shook his head at him.
"Old Hu, if you continue to stand still, you will die. We will wait until the officials come."
Lao Hu's eyes suddenly turned red, and he struggled hard to get out of Su Fan's control, but he couldn't break free after being stunned for a long time.
"Old Su, those people below are all my fellow villagers, please let me go..."
