Meng Fan came to the Demon-Slaying Hall, casually accepted a mission, and went down the mountain.
As the deacon of Shushan, he needed to register when going down the mountain. Meng Fan didn't bother to make any excuses, so he simply went to the Demon Slaying Hall to pick up a mission, and went down the mountain directly.
The mission that Meng Fan accepted was a demon-slaying mission.
In Qingyue Forest, there is a monster that appears and often hurts people.
After the people around him reported this problem, he was finally assigned to the Demon-Slaying Hall of the Shushan Sword Sect.
The mission had just been posted today, and Meng Fan happened to meet him.
The reward for this task is not much, just a hundred spirit stones. The reason why Meng Fan took this task is because Qingyue Forest is not far from Huoyun Town.
On your way!
Except for Shu Changsheng and Senior Brother Luo from Jiange, Meng Fan did not tell anyone that he was going down the mountain, including Senior Brother Jin.
In fact, Meng Fan went down the mountain several times, but this was the first time he was alone.
He bought a carriage and drove alone towards Qingyue Lin.
Qingyue Forest is in the same direction as Huoyun Town.
Since Meng Fan accepted this mission, he planned to kill the monster along the way.
According to intelligence information, it was a tiger monster with strength comparable to that of a human monk in the Tianyuan realm, so the mission reward was only 100 spirit stones.
For Meng Fan, this kind of little monster is something that can be easily captured and is not worth mentioning.
The carriage ran wildly. After running for an hour, Meng Fan suddenly realized that he was going down the mountain alone this time, so why did he need a carriage?
Slow down the speed!
In the past, Meng Fan had developed a habit of buying a carriage every time he went down the mountain.
After reacting, he cut off the reins dragging the carriage with a sword energy and abandoned the carriage directly.
Then he rode directly towards Qing Yuelin at a faster speed.
As night fell, Meng Fan passed by Longyan Town and rested here for the night.
He doesn't need to rest, but the horse needs to rest, otherwise it will run to death.
For three days in a row, Meng Fan was on the road, looking for an inn to rest at night.
On the fourth day, the place where he settled was called Xueguang Town.
Here, it is close to the Huoyun Mountain Range and not far from Huoyun Town and Qingyue Forest.
After all, this place is actually the territory of Fengyun Demon Sect!
In this Xueguang Town, Meng Fan directly sold the horse.
Now that he's near Huoyun Town, he's even faster than a horse!
Meng Fan planned to go to Qingyue Forest tomorrow to deal with the monster and complete the assigned tasks, and then devote himself to finding out about his master.
In the evening, Meng Fan had dinner in the lobby of an inn.
I ordered two pounds of braised beef, two side dishes, and two pounds of roasted knives.
I have to say that the food and wine outside are much better than those in the Shushan Sword Sect’s canteen.
Although the Shushan Sword Sect is one of the three major sword sects in the Northern Territory, the food feels the same as that of the school in Meng Fan's previous life. The soup is clear and watery, tasteless, and there is not even a bit of oil or water in the stomach.
Of course, no one with a bit of status would eat the big pot rice at Shushan Canteen.
Like Liu Yanping's family, there is no shortage of cooks or servants.
But Mr. Lin is the only one who has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, so he doesn't care about this at all. Apart from him in Jiange, there are senior brothers Luo and Meng Fan.
Besides, Mr. Lin has been eating away for a long time and has no appetite!
In the lobby of the inn, Meng Fan was drinking and eating food while listening to everyone's conversations.
With his hearing, he could hear clearly even the words of the cook in the back kitchen of the inn.
Although he knew that these people could not know the information related to the master, Meng Fan was still prepared to collect this information.
"Did you hear that the concubine of Mr. Lu's wife died last night?"
"Dead, how did you die?"
"I heard that Hongxing cheated and was beaten to death by Officer Lu."
"No, you are behind on the news. The concubine was not beaten to death by Yuan Yuanwai at all, but by Yuan Yuanwai's wife."
"It's all nonsense. The latest news I got is that Yuan Lu's whole family was killed, and not a single person was left alive."
"The impact of this incident was too bad, so the government did not reveal the truth."
"The whole family is dead? How is this possible? Who is so crazy?"
"You don't believe it? If you don't believe it, go and take a look. A seal has been posted on Mr. Lu's mansion and no one is allowed to come near it."
…………
…
In the inn, because someone started this idea, almost everyone was talking about the affairs of Yuan Lu's family at this moment.
After all, this kind of tragedy of killing a family is extremely rare, so it's normal for the popularity to be high!
But listening to their conversation, Meng Fan frowned slightly.
He subconsciously felt that this matter was not as simple as an ordinary vendetta.
Intuition told him that it must be related to demons. Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a kind of professional quality.
However, Meng Fan came here to inquire about Mr. Lin and didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't bother to visit Yuan Lu's residence.
Although it is said that it is the bounden duty of Shushan disciples to subdue demons, Meng Fan is not the kind of obsessive-compulsive person who goes around actively looking for demons to surrender.
If he happens to encounter it, he will definitely not hold back, and he will not turn a blind eye when he sees a demon harming people.
But now that members of Yuan Lu's family are dead, it is impossible for him to trace them one by one. That is a matter for the government.
But sometimes, the more lazy you are about things, the more they will hit you.
This situation in the previous life seemed to be called some kind of law, Meng Fan couldn't remember it.
That night, Meng Fan, who was practicing cross-legged on the inn bed, felt an extremely obvious demonic aura.
Most importantly, he also felt the smell of blood.
This proves that a demon is harming people!
As a Shushan disciple, it was difficult for Meng Fan to remain indifferent when faced with a situation where demons were harming people.
His consciousness reached out, wanting to see what kind of demon was harming people.
If it is within the scope of his ability to attract demons under the realm of gods to commit crimes, he will definitely take action to subjugate and eliminate demons and save people's lives.
But if it is a demon that has reached the realm of attracting gods, then Meng Fan will be powerless. It is impossible for him to risk his own life just to save others. He is not that great!
Meng Fan's consciousness detected the presence of demons in the northeast of the town.
Lu Mansion!
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the residence of Yuan Wai Lu that those people in the inn were talking about during the day.
Meng Fan's intuition was correct. The Lu family was indeed killed by demons.
The most outrageous thing is that the monster killed Yuan Wai Lu's family last night, and it actually appeared at Yuan Wai Lu's house again tonight.
Is this a case of catching a sheep trying to pluck out its wool? The fur is all gone and you still have to skin it?
All members of Lu Yuanwai's family were dead, and the bloody smell that Meng Fan felt was from the officers and soldiers who were ordered to stay in Lu Mansion to patrol.
There are eight officers and soldiers in this team, three of them have been killed, and five others are squatting in a group at the gate, shivering.
It wasn't that they didn't know how to escape, but it was because they found that the door couldn't be opened at all. The wooden door suddenly became harder than the stone wall!
