Lingxi was slightly startled, but she didn't know whether Huo Jingyu's words hit her mark.
She coughed lightly and said, "Brother Huo, we are here to investigate the coastal monsters. I wonder if you have any conclusions?"
Huo Jingyu whispered nonchalantly: "What else could be the reason? It is probably because the Xuanyuan Sword is about to be born, which has weakened the power of the Xuanyuan Sword array along the coast too much, allowing those monster beasts on the sea to take advantage of it."
Although Qian and Ling didn't know what was going on when Xuanyuan Sword was about to be born, they both pretended to "know".
Wen Hao touched Huo Jingyu lightly, hinting that he said too much.
Lingxi said: "So are you ready to report back to the sect?"
Huo Jingyu said proudly: "Of course not, we can't stand the refugees' pleading, and we are trying to get rid of this harmful beast!"
Hearing what he said, Qian Meier laughed out loud, "Although there are many of you, your cultivation levels are uneven. How dare you challenge a fifth-level monster?"
Huo Jingyu always had only a sense of connection in his eyes, and thought the two were just followers, so he didn't pay attention. Hearing her speak, I was shocked to realize that this woman was charming, even more beautiful than Lingxi.
Seeing that he was stunned for a moment, Lingxi rolled her eyes at him, looking like she couldn't stand it. Junior sister Wen Xi also pouted her lips, looking resentful.
Wen Hao helplessly poked his ribs secretly, and said at the same time: "We are just going to explore the situation first. According to the refugees, this monster lives on a small island in the North Sea. There is a mountain called Beihao on the island. We are trying to find a way Go to sea.”
Huo Jingyu came back to his senses, as if he didn't hear what Wen Hao said at all, he said loudly: "Of course we have to slay demons! To be honest, we brought an 'immortal weapon' with us! Hum, there is no Xuanyuan Sword Formation on the sea. With restrictions, the power of the immortal weapon can be more fully exerted, and even the monsters can be easily captured!"
When Wen Hao heard that he was "exploiting his family fortune" like this, obviously he wanted to show off himself in front of Qian Meier, he felt a headache and stopped talking.
Qian Meier pretended to be surprised and said: "Really? Can you open the little girl's eyes?"
"Hehe, that's not impossible..."
Huo Jingyu was so confused that he really wanted to get the immortal weapon out, but Wen Hao grabbed him and dragged him behind him.
"Everyone, it's getting late. We need to go to Beihao Mountain to explore as soon as possible. I wonder if some of you will go together?"
Lingxi wanted to go with them, but when she saw Qian Meier's eyes looking at Ling Ning, she held back and said nothing.
Ling Ning muttered: "May I ask, brother, have you been here to investigate for a long time? Have all the previous villages except Ping'an Village been attacked by monsters?"
Wen Hao nodded and said: "Yes, we only arrived two days earlier and found that among the nearby coastal villages, only Ping'an Village has not been attacked."
Ling Ning said: "I still want to take a look at Ping'an Village, but something feels wrong."
Seeing him saying this, Qian Meier naturally expressed her intention to go to Ping'an Village.
Lingxi hesitated for a while, but decided to go with Qian and Ling.
"Don't you know what the surnames of brother and this girl are?"
"I am under Shui Yuetian Ling Ning, and this is my fellow disciple...ahem... Qian Meier."
Wen Hao slightly cupped his hands and said: "I'm with you Wen Hao from the Sword Making Valley. These are my junior brother Huo Jingyu and my sister Wen Xi. Then, I'll take my leave first."
"Everyone, be careful!"
"Thank you!"
As Huo Jingyu reluctantly "wailed", several people parted ways.
Lingxi asked in confusion: "Why doesn't Mr. Ling go with them? Since they have found out the location of the monster, why not kill it together? Besides, the other party also has immortal weapons..."
Qian Meier naturally believed in Ling Ning unconditionally and wanted to hear his opinion.
Ling Ning shook his head and said: "I can't tell. When I looked at it from a high place, I just felt that there was a very strong demonic aura near Ping'an Village. It seemed that it was not the same demonic beast that attacked the village... Besides, those people in the Sword Forging Valley To actually bring an immortal weapon with them, I feel like they are not just trying to 'slay demons and demons', but they must have other agendas."
Qian Meier also nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, I can also feel that Ping'an Village seems a little different... The atmosphere of those people in Sword Making Valley is very complicated. It seems that most of them are casual cultivators. It is estimated that they will not go well. First of all, It’s better to let them take the lead.”
Seeing what the two said, Lingxi also dispelled his doubts. But she was also thinking about why the people from Sword Forging Valley appeared here. Could it be that there was really any news about Xuanyuan Sword? You must know that "swordsmiths" like them are much more familiar with immortal weapons, and they are naturally better informed.
When the three of them arrived at Ping'an Village, the sky was already dark and smoke was rising from every house. Qian and Ling both wore veils to hide their pretty faces in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The village is not big, with about two hundred households. Several villagers were not surprised when they saw the three people coming on horseback. Instead, they greeted them with smiles. Among them, the strong fishermen stared intently at Qian and Ling. , showing a greedy expression.
The leader was a stooped little old man who said cheerfully: "Are some of you also cultivators? Are you here to investigate the monsters?"
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then thought that since Qi State had issued a bounty on monster beasts, many monks must have settled here recently, and these villagers had long been accustomed to it.
Lingxi asked: "Have many monks come to this village recently?"
The little old man said: "Exactly, hehe, do you want to stay here? We have opened a special inn in the village for all the immortal masters to stay."
Qian Meier said: "No, we are just here to investigate and we won't stay long."
The little old man said "Oh", "My name is Li Youfu, and I am the village chief of this village. The villagers here are simple and honest, why don't you let me take the immortal masters around the village?"
Qianmei'er said: "Then it will be hard work."
"But, hey, this fee..."
Ling Ning secretly asked for money as soon as he came up. It turns out that the people are simple and honest...
Lingxi took out a gold ingot without hesitation, and Li Youfu said with a smile: "Fathers of immortals, please come! That little bitch, please lead the horse to the immortals and feed them the best feed! All immortals, please come!" "
Li Youfu introduced this small village while leading the way. Several of them were surrounded by seven or eight young men, most of whom were attracted by Qian and Ling. Beautiful women were beautiful, and they were still very charming even with their faces covered. If they were not monks, these people would have pounced on them long ago.
"Our village is called Ping'an Village. People have been fishing for generations. Although this is a small village, the people are simple and very good..."
Ling Ning listened to what he said but couldn't help but interrupt, "Village Chief, I heard that several nearby villages were attacked by monsters, but our village is the only one safe?"
Li Youfu chuckled, took a puff of dry tobacco and said, "Well, it's because our village has a god!"
Lingxi said: "You have a god in this small fishing village? Who do you worship?"
"Of course it's Poseidon!" Seeing the beauty asking for information, a young man couldn't help but steal the village chief's words.
Qianmei'er asked in confusion: "But all the villages nearby worship the Poseidon Goddess. Is there anything special about you?"
"Of course our Poseidon Queen is different!" Another young man said first.
"Our Poseidon Queen can fly!"
"The one who has wings has also shown his spirit. He is very divine!"
Several people were talking about it, but the three of them only heard a general idea.
Lingxi asked: "Spiritual manifestation? What kind of spiritual manifestation method?"
"One night, it was raining heavily! I saw two monsters fighting on the sea with my own eyes!"
"That's right! I saw it too..."
The three of them wanted to ask more, but the village chief said loudly: "Shut up, you little bastards! Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful that the Goddess of Poseidon won't spare you!"
His voice was so frightening that no one dared to speak.
Seeing this, Lingxi quickly handed over a piece of gold secretly, "Village Chief, you also know that we are here for the monsters. Can you explain it to us in detail?"
Seeing that he had money, Li Youfu immediately grinned, revealing his yellow-orange front teeth, "That's enough, that's enough, Master Immortal, you are too polite. Do you want to know what else can I hide? I'm afraid that the children will say I don’t know... Our Poseidon Queen, she has indeed appeared! That night, there was a violent storm, and several people in our village could see clearly that there were two monsters... Ah, it’s Poseidon Queen. Ah! The Poseidon is fighting with a monster in the clouds! The monster looks like a chicken head and a tiger's claws, very fierce. Poseidon has great magical powers! She has wings and can fly! She suddenly turns into a dragon!"
"No! It's not a dragon! It's... it's like a snake..."
"No, no, it's obviously...a big carp! It has wings!"
"No, no! It's a human! It's a woman!"
"Are you crazy about women?"
"You only want women!"
Everyone was arguing non-stop, but Li Youfu showed the momentum of the village chief, "Damn it, stop arguing! I am the village chief, listen to me, and what I say is what I say! Get out of here! Get out of here!"
Ling Ning coughed lightly and said, "Village Chief, can you take us to see the Poseidon?"
Li Youfu nodded, "Yes, yes, let's go this way."
The place dedicated to the God of Poseidon is in the center of the village. A small pavilion was built with a statue of the God of Poseidon inside. Apparently because of the recent turmoil between monsters and beasts, the statue of the Goddess of the Sea was filled with tributes, which can be said to be "at its peak".
The facial features of the statue of the Goddess of Poseidon have become somewhat blurred due to long-term exposure to wind and rain, but she looks like a girl in her late teens, and she actually has wings like bird wings on her back.
Lingxi said: "How come the Poseidon Queen is so young? I see that the Poseidon Queens enshrined in other villages all look middle-aged."
Li Youfu said: "This, we made it according to the appearance of the Goddess of the Sea when she appeared. Back then, I saw the Goddess of the Sea clearly when she appeared for the first time!"
At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "What Poseidon! Bullshit! Don't pull me! I'm not... not drunk! She was the one who caused... killed me... my brother Li and his family! Damn it! Don't pull me !”
The three of them looked for the sound and saw a rough man in his late forties, dragging the wine jar with one hand, smelling of alcohol and extremely drunk.
"Quick, quick, quick! What else are you looking at? Take me away, take me away! Damn Wang Laosan, he drank like a bear before he got dark, he doesn't make any progress! It's embarrassing for me!"
Under Li Youfu's loud shouts, the drunkard was pulled away.
Ling Ning said: "Village chief, what does he mean? Li Er's family..."
"No, no, no, it's nothing! Let's go, let's go somewhere else! Don't listen to his nonsense!"
The three of them glanced at each other, as if this Wang Laosan knew something.
Everyone was passing through the fish market, and the fishermen were closing their stalls. Suddenly, Ling Ning noticed a mother-in-law with a wrinkled face and a stooped back. Qian Meier obviously noticed something unusual and looked at her.
I saw that the mother-in-law was wearing a gray cotton coat, but it had been dyed black by dirt. She wore a white scarf on her head and carried a basket covered with blue cloth. She seemed to look no different from the elderly people in the village.
Lingxi looked at the two of them strangely, then stopped and looked in that direction.
Li Youfu was talking endlessly about how the village had developed rapidly under his leadership. Suddenly he saw three people stopping and staring into the distance. He couldn't help but ask, "Master Immortal, what are you looking at?"
Ling Ning asked: "Is that person from your village?"
Li Youfu narrowed his old eyes and looked in the direction he pointed, "Oh, that person. She is not from our village. I heard that she lived in the old village with a little girl, and the little girl didn't know it was her. who."
Ling Ning said: "What does old village mean? When we came here, you were the only village nearby."
Li Youfu said: "It's like this. In our village, there was a tsunami eight years ago. The water was so strong that it destroyed the whole village and killed many people! Later we took the rest with us. People are moving here.”
Qian Meier said: "That's it. I remembered that when I came here, I saw a ruins..."
Ling Ning asked: "What is that mother-in-law's name? How long has she lived in the old village?"
Li Youfu thought for a while, and then asked a young man next to him, "Goudan, do you know what her name is?"
Goudan shook his head, "I don't know, do you know?"
"We don't know either! She is very strange. She brings a basket of fish to sell every day. She seldom talks and does not allow any counter-offering!"
"Yes, but the fish she sells is very good. She comes to exchange for some rice and noodles every now and then, and she doesn't say anything. She is a weirdo!"
Lingxi said: "Isn't there another little girl? Doesn't that little girl speak?"
"Don't mention it! That little girl is quite pretty, but she is trapped at home every day and never leaves the house!"
Lingxi asked: "How do you know there is a little girl next to her if she never leaves the house?"
"We just took a peek! We were curious, so we took a look secretly. There was a little girl lying on the bed every day. Later, we were discovered. The old woman was very powerful! As soon as she stretched out her hand, she pushed me! On the face! His expression is like eating someone!"
"Haha! Bamboo pole! I think you just can't do it! You can't even handle an old man. You're such a bear, and you still want to get a wife? Hahaha!"
A few young guys got into a fight, but Ling Ning didn't think so. The young man named "Zhugan" was thin and tall, and his muscles were clearly visible from working frequently in fishing. How could he be easily pushed over by an old woman?
After the three people left the village, they quietly found a cave nearby, then arranged the ban, lit a bonfire, and then sat around to discuss.
Qian Meier opened her mouth and said, "That old lady is weird!"
