In Anwu City, in an empty house, Maisui knocked down two beggars with stones who came here by mistake and wanted to kill her for a meal. Donkey Gen was also beside her, guarding her carefully.
Ye Ming and Lei Ling were not there. Maisui stood beside Donkey Gen, touching Donkey Gen's neck from time to time and looking out expectantly.
In Maisui's expectation, Ye Ming appeared outside the house carrying a big bag.
Maisui hurriedly went out with Donkey Gen, and felt relieved when she saw Leiling also on the roof on the side.
When Ye Ming saw Mai Sui, he smiled and said:
"Okay, let's leave the city too!"
This time out of town requires some disguise.
Ye Ming pretended to be an old man, and Mai Sui still pretended to be a boy. Donkey Gen's body had become thinner due to Ye Ming's spell, and he looked emaciated, as if he might fall ill at any time.
Lei Ling didn't need to pretend, she could find an opportunity to leave the city by herself.
Ye Ming held Mai Sui's hand, and they looked like a grandfather and grandson with no sense of incompatibility. Coupled with a sick donkey, this combination was enough to look fake and real.
Because there was an incident at the General's Mansion last night, the city gates are under martial law today, so it is easier for people to enter and exit alone.
Although Ye Ming and his team were not suspicious at first sight, they were checked several times, and finally they were allowed to leave after Ye Ming took away the broken silver that Ye Ming had intentionally hidden in the soles of his shoes for them...
After successfully leaving the city, Ye Ming held the ears of wheat, rode on the donkey, and walked until he reached an uninhabited village, then opened a sack full of scarecrows.
A group of ghosts flew out from the scarecrow. All of these ghosts were very weak, and several of them were obviously sick.
It stands to reason that ghosts cannot get sick, so there is no such thing as falling ill.
But they were sealed in jars of incense ash and suppressed in a place full of filth. They were invaded by the smell of filth every day. Even ghosts and gods could not stand such an environment, and only then did they show signs of illness.
Of course, the core problem is the lack of willingness to support.
After the city god and other gangsters thanked Ye Ming for his help, they explained their own experiences.
After they were deprived of the position of City God Yinzai by General Dong using a court order, they were directly captured by General Wusha and sealed there. Before Ye Ming rescued them, more than a dozen Yinzai could not bear the torture and their souls were gone. .
Ye Ming inquired and found that their understanding of the Five Evil Generals was limited to the four generals of earth, water, fire, and wind, and they knew very little about the "Bingsha Divine General" who led them.
The local city god also speculated that the "Bingsha Divine General" might be the ancient "Ye Ming General".
After the exchange between the two parties was completed, the city gods Yin Chai took their leave and wanted to find a place to rest first.
They still have a place to go. Anwu City is quite large, and there are many remote villages where few people visit, and there are also Chenghuang temples. Although they are small in size, they are enough for temporary shelter.
Seeing the City God and his agents leaving, Lei Ling said:
"Although this incense and aspiration power has great benefits, its shortcomings are too obvious. No wonder only these ghosts and gods practice it."
Ye Ming smiled: "Every way of cultivation must have its own reason. Just follow your own path."
Saying that, he took out the tortoise shell,
"Let's find out where Ye Guo and the others are first."
Ye Ming, who was originally looking relaxed, lost the smile on his face after doing the fortune telling, and suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the distance.
This was the first time Lei Ling saw Ye Ming's serious expression. Realizing that something might have happened, she hurriedly asked:
"What happened?"
Maisui on the side also became worried and asked:
"What happened to Ye Guo?"
Ye Ming did not answer them, but took the tortoise shell and counted several times in a row.
Then, he touched his chin and laughed again:
"Let's go find them."
Lei Ling and Mai Sui breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously when they saw Ye Ming regaining his smile.
It seems that the development of things is not as bad as I thought.
...
It's rare to see snowfall in the afternoon, and the long-lost sunshine in the sky shines on the vast white land, bringing the slightest warmth to people.
Ye Ming and Mai Sui rode donkey roots and walked on the snow.
Shaking the empty gourd with some worry, Ye Ming sighed:
"Too little good wine, too little pleasure in life, it's really not fun."
"With your drinking capacity, even if you drink a river of water, I'm afraid it won't be enough for you to drink for a year!"
Lei Ling couldn't help but complain.
"Nonsense, the water in one river is enough for me to drink for at least a year and a half!"
Ye Ming retorted confidently.
In response, Lei Ling just rolled her eyes and turned away from Ye Ming.
This old devil kept pliing her with wine. How could she, a cat, drink wine?
If it weren't for his cultivation, he would have been raised to death long ago!
Bah bah bah! Why should I raise one? I am a noble cat demon, a wild cat demon, not a domestic cat, so I don’t need to raise one!
While Lei Ling was thinking this, she was comfortably held in Maisui's arms, feeling the warmth of the sun, which was very comfortable.
After traveling a certain distance, Donkey Gen came to an abandoned mountain pavilion.
Just as he was about to leave the mountain pavilion, Ye Ming suddenly patted Donkey Gen on the back.
Donkey Gen understood the meaning and stopped.
Ye Ming came down with a smile and went to the mountain pavilion.
Seeing this, Maisui came down with Lei Ling in her arms.
Everything seemed to be normal in Shanting. Just when Ye Ming was about to enter Shanting, he suddenly saw Ye Ming taking a step back and pulling Mai Sui back together.
But the mountain pavilion suddenly turned into a big mouth and took a bite. However, because Ye Ming retreated quickly, the bite was in vain.
After one bite, the mountain pavilion disappeared, and a monster appeared on the spot, a monster with the head of a tiger and the appearance of a gray donkey. It was the gray tiger spirit.
It's just that the Gray Tiger spirit looked a little miserable at this time. Not to mention there were many wounds cut by sharp blades on his body, and his right front leg was missing.
The gray tiger spirit who had not eaten Ye Ming immediately realized that he had kicked an iron plate this time. Without hesitation, he turned his head and turned into a cloud of gray smoke, trying to escape.
But when he turned around, Lei Ling, who was in Mai Sui's arms, had already rushed out of Mai Sui's arms, pounced on him, and pressed her claws on the gray smoke.
The gray tiger spirit was pinned to the ground and forced to change back to his original state.
The gray tiger was shocked. It didn't expect that Lei Ling was so powerful. If it was not injured, it would still have the confidence to fight. But now that it was seriously injured, it was no match for Lei Ling and was easily defeated. .
"Spare your life, my aunt, spare your life!"
The gray tiger spirit decisively begged for mercy.
Ye Ming asked with a smile:
"You have met Liu Yuanze, right?"
Hearing Ye Ming's question, Gray Tiger Spirit was shocked and didn't know how to answer.
"Don't want to answer? It seems that you have a good relationship? In that case, I will kill you first and then go to Liu Yuanze to settle the score."
Upon hearing Ye Ming's words, Gray Tiger Spirit immediately realized that this was Liu Yuanze's enemy. Only then did he "know" in his heart, and thought he knew how to answer.
The awakened Gray Tiger Spirit began to take the initiative to explain the previous events, which was generally similar to what it said. Only about the conflict with Liu Yuanze, it was pushed to Liu Yuanze, describing Liu Yuanze as a heinous monster.
After listening to what Gray Tiger Spirit said, Ye Ming had a rough idea of the truth of the matter.
Especially after hearing the description of the Black Feather Flying Sword, Ye Ming felt that the world was really small.
When he was looking for black bears to refine treasures in the Liangyin Mountains, there was a bird demon before him who asked the black bear spirit to refine his true feathers into flying swords.
That bird demon was the Black Crane who attacked Liu Yuanze and the others this time. As for the purpose of doing so, perhaps it was just to sacrifice the sword, as Black Crane himself said.
As for why the gray tiger spirit turned into a mountain pavilion to attack people here despite being seriously injured, it was because a spirit like it couldn't rely on practice to repair its body.
Especially if one leg is missing, it can only be restored by eating a large number of children.
This is one of the reasons why the Gray Tiger Spirit cherishes his life and is unwilling to fight to the death with his opponent.
In order to please Ye Ming, the Gray Tiger Spirit scolded Liu Yuanze as harshly as possible.
When it was done scolding, Ye Ming said lightly again:
"I'm lying to you, actually Liu Yuanze is my prospective son-in-law."
Gray Tiger Spirit:? ? ?
Lei Ling:......
As expected, this old devil is best at inflicting mental torture on people.
The gray tiger spirit wanted to say something else, but under Ye Ming's "eyes" signal, Lei Ling opened its skull with one claw...
The gray tiger spirit screamed and died on the spot, leaving behind a cloud of gray smoke that floated in the air and did not dissipate.
Ye Ming stretched out his hand and the gray smoke fell into his hand.
This gray smoke can temporarily turn the user into ashes, and can reach various places with the help of wind.
In addition, there is also a small function that can expel dust and keep it clean.
After figuring out its purpose, Ye Ming put it into a small simple sachet and hung it on Wheat Sui's waist.
"Girl, I'll give this to you too."
Maisui touched the small sachet on her waist and nodded happily.
Seeing this, Lei Ling looked at Mai Sui with some amusement.
Not jealous, not at all. How could I, a majestic wildcat witch, be jealous of a little human girl?
Not jealous, really!
Lei Ling's mouth made a "whoosh" sound unconsciously, her eyes widened, and she looked very resentful.
Ye Ming suddenly hit Lei Ling on the head with a violent shock. The pain made Lei Ling almost burst into tears.
"What are you doing?"
Lei Ling looked at Ye Ming with 100% dissatisfaction, tears streaming down her face, whether from pain or anger, she didn't know.
"Speak for yourself, how many demon pills have you taken and how many benefits have you received? It's just a cloud of gray smoke, and you're still jealous!"
Ye Ming picked up the back of Lei Ling's neck and stroked Lei Ling's hair backwards, causing Lei Ling to almost explode.
"No, who is jealous? Who is jealous? It's nothing!"
Lei Ling kicked her legs wildly and said something against her will.
In fact, what Lei Ling likes most about Gray Smoke is that it can avoid dust. As a cat who loves cleanliness, is there anything wrong with wanting to avoid dust?
Seeing Lei Ling's look, Mai Sui stepped forward, took off the small sachet and handed it to Lei Ling:
"Lingling, if you like it, I'll give it to you."
Seeing Mai Sui acting like a young adult, Lei Ling suddenly felt ashamed, stopped her head unconsciously, and said sheepishly:
"He gave this to you, just keep it, I don't need it..."
...
Maisui hung a sachet on her waist, held Leiling in her arms, and sat on the back of the donkey with a very relaxed expression.
Lei Ling also felt much happier, and Mao Sheng felt like a family member for the first time.
Not long after, they came to an empty village with no one around.
Donkey Gen's nose twitched and he took the initiative to find a way to the best house in the village.
Outside the house, the sound of donkey hooves had already alarmed the people inside.
Ye Guo walked out with a wooden stick in his hand and a nervous look on his face.
The moment he saw the night light, Ye Guo let go of the wooden stick in his hand and couldn't help crying "Wow"...
Liu Yuanze was seriously injured and has not woken up since last night.
Ye Guo fell down many times trying to carry him into the house, and finally managed to carry him in.
Ye Ming checked Liu Yuanze's condition and found that he was relying entirely on the life force of his snake demon. If he could not get treatment, he would die in half a month at most.
"Dad, can he be saved?"
Ye Guo asked, pulling Ye Ming's sleeve.
Regarding this goddaughter, Ye Ming stopped joking and said truthfully:
"I don't have any magic medicine on hand. I need to find some magic medicine or a doctor who can treat him."
"Then let's go quickly!"
...
