As soon as the old mayor entered Ping Yichang's room, he saw Ping Yichang sitting cross-legged on the bed and doing exercises to heal his injuries. His face was pale and he didn't look as energetic as he had in the previous days.
The old man noticed someone entering his room, and slowly opened his languid eyes. He knew it was the old mayor, and he was about to stand up and salute the old mayor to say hello.
Upon seeing this, Mayor Yu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Taoist priest, please come and sit down to rest. There is no need to be so outspoken. The old man heard that Taoist priest was seriously injured while fighting demons in Fengling Town. He felt very uneasy, so he specially Come to visit, I wonder how your injury is doing now?"
Hearing this, Chief Ping thanked him: "Pindao has gotten much better. Mayor You, the mayor has taken note of it."
"Taoist Priest, please don't say that. You did it for our Fengling Town. I'm really ashamed, but I can't do anything to help Taoist Priest."
Chief Ping said with a guilty conscience: "I am ashamed of myself. I did not kill the monster. I failed the mayor and the people of Fengling Town to live up to their hopes for me."
The old mayor comforted Chief Ping and said: "Master Taoist, you don't have to blame yourself for this. All the people in Fengling Town know that the chief has tried his best. Speaking of which, the people of Fengling Town are still ashamed of Chief Taoist. If we hadn't invited him If the Taoist priest comes, the Taoist priest will not wade into this muddy water, nor will he be seriously injured."
Ping Yiyi said: "It is the bounden duty of us cultivators to eliminate demons and protect the Tao. Even if the old mayor comes without inviting Ping Yi, Ping Yi will come uninvited and will not stand idly by if he knows this."
The old mayor saluted politely and said: "I would like to thank the Taoist priest on behalf of the people in the town. I hope the Taoist priest will recover soon."
"Thank you, old mayor. Please thank all the people in Fengling Town for me and thank them for their concern for Pindao."
"I will." The old mayor hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, after I came to visit the Taoist, there is one more thing I want to ask the Taoist for advice, and I hope the Taoist will not hesitate to enlighten me."
Chief Ping said modestly: "Old mayor, you don't have to be so polite. If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it."
The old mayor said: "The Centipede Spirit was injured by the Taoist Priest. I don't know where he is hiding. He is secretly recovering from his injuries. This morning, several hunters in the town went hunting in the mountains and accidentally discovered a wild deer and a deer that had been harmed by the Centipede Spirit. The carcass of an antelope..."
When the old mayor said this, Du Xinrui, who had been squatting in the Bell and Drum Towers all night last night, thought to herself: "No wonder I waited all night in the Bell and Drum Towers but didn't see any trace of the monster."
Du Xinrui asked very curiously: "How does the old mayor know that those two wild animals were killed by the centipede spirit and not by other monsters?"
The old mayor said: "Because when the centipede spirit first came to the town, it didn't hurt anyone, it just targeted some livestock and birds. The livestock and birds killed by it all have one thing in common, that is, the bone marrow and All the brains have been sucked out, leaving only a shell of a corpse."
Hearing the description of the old mayor, everyone couldn't help but trembled and got goosebumps all over their bodies. Daoxin asked doubtfully: "Listen to the old mayor's words, this monster doesn't eat people, so why did it cause such harm later on?" Someone is here."
The old mayor recalled: "About a month ago, missing people began to appear in our town. Later, the government checked and found the missing people in the deep mountains, but they had been sucked out of their brains and marrow. , only an empty shell was left. Later, the monster became more and more courageous and acted more and more aggressively. It often went into the town at night to kill people and suck their marrow. It pitied the women and children who were killed. I think the reason why it killed people was Maybe it’s because the essence of human beings helps its cultivation! After all, human beings are known as the spirits of all things and have endless aura and wisdom.”
He said resolutely: "This beast is so heartless that he actually committed such a destructive act."
Du Xinrui had not slept all night, and she was feeling very sleepy at this time. She couldn't help but yawned and said: "The monster is indeed cunning. It knows that it is injured. It is no match for us at this time. It does not dare to risk entering the town to commit crimes with its injuries. They were afraid that we would catch turtles in a jar, so they could only go up the mountain to hunt wild animals to satisfy their hunger."
The old mayor said: "What the girl said is absolutely true, so everyone thinks this is a good time to eliminate it. If we wait for its injury to recover before dealing with it, it will not be so easy. So I would like to ask Chief Ping for advice. , is there any good way to kill this harmful monster now?"
Hearing this, Chief Ping shook his head helplessly and said: "It's a pity that I was seriously injured and can't be of much help. If I do it forcefully, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive and cause the people in the town to lose their lives in vain. My senior brother Yunyou has disappeared, and water from far away cannot quench his thirst. Alas... I couldn't think of any good way to deal with this monster. "
Hearing Chief Ping say this, the old mayor's only life-saving straw also sank. The old mayor said in fear: "It seems that Fengling Town is about to be in disaster. Chief, are you injured?" After you feel better, you’d better leave Fengling Town as soon as possible! Otherwise, you’ll lose your life here.”
Seeing the old mayor's nervous and frightened expression, Miss Mulian asked uneasily: "Why did the mayor make such remarks?"
The old mayor said: "Miss Mulian doesn't know that the monster has suffered such a big loss. After it recovers from its serious injuries, it will kill all the people in the town frantically and take revenge on Fengchi Town."
Hearing this, Miss Mulian said anxiously: "What the old mayor said is absolutely true, but now we have no better way, and no one has the ability to eliminate the centipede while it is still seriously injured. .”
The old mayor said helplessly and lostly: "It seems that the people of Fengling Town are unable to resolve this disaster. I'd better go back quickly and let the people of Fengling Town run away if they should and leave if they should, lest their lives be saved later." .”
After hearing the old mayor's pessimistic words, Dao Xin suddenly thought of Du Xinrui. He said to the old mayor: "Actually, the old mayor doesn't need to be so pessimistic..."
When the old mayor heard this, he said happily: "Listen to the little Taoist priest, do you have any clever ideas?"
Dao Xin said: "My master is seriously injured now, so naturally he can no longer do his best to eliminate demons for Fengling Town, but there is one person who can solve this problem for Fengling Town."
Mayor Yu said: "Excuse me, who is this little Taoist priest? Where is he? I will send someone to ask for him immediately."
Dao Xin smiled and said: "This person is far away in the sky and right in front of you."
Everyone looked around, but they didn't see anyone with such a strong Taoist skills who could compete with Centipede Jing.
Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Dao Xin smiled and said, "This person is our Miss Du."
Miss Du pointed at herself and said in surprise: "Me?" She didn't expect that Dao Xin would think so highly of her.
Ping Yiyi's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes! Why did I forget about Miss Du?" He said to the old mayor: "I think the only person who can save Fengling Town now is this Miss Du. .”
The old mayor looked at the frail girl in front of him and couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Heiichi Chang with a pair of unbelievable eyes.
Chief Ping looked at the old mayor's eyes, understood his meaning, and said: "Old mayor, don't underestimate this Miss Du, don't look at him as weak. Although Miss Du is young, her cultivation level is not low. It has far surpassed Pindao. If Miss Du hadn't helped us, the three of us, master and disciple, might have perished long ago."
The old mayor immediately turned around and knelt down to Du Xinrui and begged: "Girl, please forgive me for my blindness. I didn't realize that the girl turned out to be a hidden expert. It's true that people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. Please save our wind chime, Miss Du." The people of the town were saved from the catastrophe."
Du Xinrui hurriedly supported the old mayor and said: "The old mayor is trying to break his heart. I will do my best to deal with Fengling Town. I will never let that monster run rampant here and do whatever he wants."
When the old mayor heard this, he was very grateful. He shed tears of relief and said to himself: "The people of Fengling Town are finally saved."
After Mayor Yu left the inn, Chief Ping asked: "Miss Du went out late at night last night. What did you gain?"
Du Xinrui was very surprised when she heard this. She secretly left the inn through the window last night. Although Ping Yi Chang's room was not far from her room, it was not close either. It was separated by two rooms. How did Ping Yi Chang know this? Where did she go out?
Ping Daochang said: "Although I was injured, there is nothing wrong with my ears. The moment you jumped out of the window, I knew you must have gone to the street to spy on the whereabouts of monsters. In fact, what the mayor said today , I think you must have thought of it a long time ago, otherwise you wouldn't have gone out in the middle of the night and didn't return to the inn until dawn."
Du Xinrui said uneasily: "Taoist Master, I also understand that now is a good time to get rid of that monster, but I'm afraid that my cultivation level will not be able to defeat the centipede spirit. Although it is injured now, after all, its cultivation level is not good enough." Low."
Ping Daochang said: "Miss Du, I think with your current cultivation level, you must have entered the mid-level fusion stage. If the monster was not injured, you might not be able to hold it, but now that it is injured, you will not be able to hold it. Coupled with your intelligence, I believe you can defeat it and eradicate it."
Hearing this, Du Xinrui's momentum and confidence increased greatly, and she said: "After listening to the Taoist priest's words, I already have the confidence to deal with the monster, and I have also figured out a strategy to deal with the monster. Let's just wait for it to fall into the trap!"
Chief Ping asked curiously: "What good way did the girl come up with to deal with the centipede spirit? Can you tell me about it?"
Du Xinrui smiled mysteriously: "The Taoist Master will naturally know when the time comes. Why should the Taoist Master be so impatient?"
