After leaving Wuling City, Su Ming and Monk Wangchen rested in the wild for a few nights.
Although he now wants to figure out how to increase his own luck, he can't rush it. Besides, he had a feeling that day and knew that he would naturally find a way soon, so he is not in a hurry.
Along the way, Su Ming did not rush forward like a cloud.
The world of mortals is also a practice, so he is also trying to be an ordinary person. Of course, if it is time to take action, he will not hesitate.
Along the way, he lingered among the natural mountains and rivers, and the beauty of nature. Together with Monk Wangchen, he watched the sky high and the sea vast, the sunrise and sunset. He also lay on the bluestone, washed his feet in the stream, or walked with the wild. The deer and mountain birds are playing and chanting to the plants and trees.
He did not deliberately practice, but as Su Ming became more and more simple and ordinary, and gradually became no different from ordinary people, in him, the impetuous, gloomy, dull and other negative emotions gradually disappeared, and his whole person was like a man wiped away from the dust. Bronze mirror, shining brightly.
This is also one of the purposes of Su Ming's trip. The key to spiritual practice is to cultivate the mind. Only by truly freeing one's mind can one control the power.
In the past, he was always cautious, and once he ascended to the position of national master, he had been suppressed for too long. Invisibly, there was depression and twilight in his heart that even he himself was not aware of. The way of cultivation was too stable. Losing one's edge is not a good thing either.
One piece and one piece of relaxation is the majestic road.
A few days later, they came to a county town.
This county town is not that big. There is a big river outside the city. Irrigation is convenient, agricultural harvests are good, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The whole town has always been bustling with people, and it can be considered very lively.
But today, on both sides of the street, most of the doors were closed and no sound was heard. A few pedestrians came and went, but they also looked nervous and did not dare to stay longer.
As soon as he stepped into the town, Monk Wangchen felt the faint evil spirit in the air, and he understood why the prosperous town became like this.
Suddenly, an unknown fire ignited in his heart, and he said in a deep voice, "Master, there are monsters causing trouble here, let me go and eliminate them for the people!"
"Well, that's why we came here this time. It's not too late to take a rest first and then get rid of the demons." Su Ming nodded. In the process of traveling these past few days, they also settled a lot of things. Monsters that have taken human lives are no different than this one.
Later, Su Ming found a restaurant, and he could smell the aroma of food from a distance away. He had been sleeping outdoors for the past few days, and he was a little tired of the food, either wild fruits or all kinds of game. He occasionally changed to other flavors. Not bad.
Compared with the sparsely populated main street, there are many pubs and restaurants here. It is meal time, so there are many diners walking on the street.
After entering the tavern, Su Ming and the two found a table by the window and sat down, ordered a pot of sake and four side dishes, and drank by themselves, leisurely and contentedly. By the time he reaches this state, he has long since gone without food, but the world of mortals refines the mind, and it is normal to have some cravings for food and drink.
Monk Wangchen, who was sitting opposite him, closed his eyes and meditated without moving his chopsticks. Unlike Su Ming, who did whatever he wanted and didn't stick to external things, his cultivation was still shallow, and he had a sudden enlightenment on Buddhism, and he had just stepped into the realm of golden elixir. , it was the time to consolidate his cultivation, he could try not to touch these things without touching them.
When the diners around saw the arrival of such a handsome monk, their eyes lit up at first, but when they saw him drinking wine and eating meat, he looked like a meat-and-wine monk.
After examining it for a moment, they all shook their heads and looked away, while secretly cursing in their hearts, fake monk!
Su Ming turned a blind eye to their gazes, which did not affect him at all.
"good."
After taking a bite of the food and drinking a glass of wine, Su Ming relaxed his brows, full of joy. Once in a while, he relaxed and felt really comfortable and refreshed.
However, at this moment, bursts of noise came from downstairs, and he couldn't help but frown, put down his wine glass, and leaned forward to watch.
On the street outside, eight big men were seen carrying a black coffin. Folks used black coffins for burials. The dead were usually those who died violently.
Behind the team followed a group of people, men and women, old and young. They were all dressed in mourning clothes, crying, looking sad, with their heads hanging down. Occasionally their eyes glanced at the coffin, with a hint of fear in their eyes.
People were playing and singing along the way, paper money was falling everywhere on the empty streets, and the wind was blowing.
Standing at the front of the team was a pretty young woman. She was dressed in white and had a slim figure. She was holding a three or four-year-old child in her hand. She was an orphan and a widowed mother.
When pedestrians on both sides saw this scene, their scalps suddenly went numb. They took a deep breath, glanced at it, and left quickly, for fear of getting dirty things.
"This is?"
Su Ming glanced at the coffin in front of him, and the surprise in his eyes flashed away. He saw that the coffin was covered with a thick layer of resentment, and there were traces of evil energy surrounding it, with teeth and claws.
He counted it with his fingers, and found that the secret was obscure and difficult to distinguish. But even so, Su Ming also knew what happened in the town.
It turned out that during this period, a total of thirty people died in the town. They all died violently in the wild, and these people were all strong and powerful men. They were either hunters, butchers, bodyguards or He is a charlatan.
Moreover, when these people died, their bodies were covered with dry flesh and blood, and they still had satisfied and excited smiles on their faces, which was very strange.
Just yesterday, another hunter died in the town, the same family that just walked past.
This man also died in a strange way. He died in exactly the same way as the others, which is chilling.
People were killed one after another, causing great panic in the town. The wealthy businessmen in the town donated money and efforts, and found many monks and Taoists to perform rituals, but it still didn't work, and some even helped themselves. .
Now, many people in the town have moved away to other places. If this matter is not resolved, the large town may be abandoned.
After having enough wine and food, Su Ming left the restaurant and walked out of the town after paying the bill.
Since the human life was lost in the wild, the monster was naturally also in the wild, and the destination of his trip was in the mountains outside the city.
This town is surrounded by mountains and has rivers passing through it. There are mountains and water, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. However, dozens of lives have been lost in a row, and there is no one around for hundreds of miles.
The mountain road is rugged, full of steep cliffs, dense forests and thorns, and sometimes wild animals. The entire mountain range stretches for hundreds of miles, and it is also a place where many hunters make a living.
But even in such a deep mountain, dozens of lives have been lost. Since one person died yesterday, no one dares to enter the mountain anymore.
Su Ming and Monk Wangchen climbed up a mountain peak and stopped to look into the distance. They saw mountains stacked on top of each other, lush and green.
But in his eyes, the entire mountain forest was shrouded in a faint layer of Yin Qi, and the wild beasts that appeared in the forest were also strong and strong, and many of them had already activated their spiritual intelligence.
This is a place where yin and yang conflict, and there is a place of yin and tide deep in the mountains. Therefore, monster beasts were born. Otherwise, how could ordinary beasts unlock their intelligence so easily.
Su Ming came here just to seal off the Yin Tide Land and try to gain luck. However, if monsters caused trouble, he didn't mind slaying them.
He had seen that the secret of heaven was obscure before, and it was because it involved the land of yin and yang that he couldn't see clearly.
As they gradually stepped into the mountain forest, the yin energy around them became heavier and heavier, and the air was filled with a vague evil spirit, mixed with resentment, which was the same as what he saw outside the restaurant.
