The sword is the devil

Chapter 88
Waiting for Tsuta to drive the horse away, her back felt a little cold.

That ground squirrel posed a very real threat to him. This is the intuition of the sword cultivator. The function of the sword gallbladder is not only to be stupid and desperate, but actually the greater function is to predict danger!
The so-called courage means that you should not be afraid of the strength of your opponent. To take it a step further, when you feel that your sword is full of courage, it often means that the enemy you are facing may be very strong.

It was the ground squirrel he had first seen.

Beasts become demons, and the realm is completely different from that of humans. I don't know much about the specific differences, I only know a few major stages in theory.

For example, the Dacheng of the monster Yaodan is probably the realm of the human golden elixir, and the transformation of the horizontal bone is the realm of the human being's understanding of the mystic. Compare.

Compared with the fine craftsmanship of human practice, monsters appear to be slower due to the development of intelligence, so they are insufficient in strength; but they rely on instinct to practice. What they lose is what they lose, and they get compensation in terms of lifespan .

Wisdom or longevity, which would you choose?There really isn't a single correct answer, it's like asking if you want to shine like a shooting star for a moment?Or live carefree like a pig?

This ground squirrel spirit has already melted into a horizontal bone. It may be that it has not been long since Xinhua. It can already be regarded as a big monster in Yinling, but somehow it still maintains its usual cautiousness. He didn't speak rashly, instead he recruited a group of goblin thugs to test him out.

So his aggressive attack on ghosts is a way of expressing his attitude: You may be in a higher realm than me, but if you really fight, you don't know who will win the battle.

He was also very afraid of this ground squirrel, and similarly, the ground squirrel was not sure about him, so he felt that this person had a very special temperament that could not be insulted lightly.

Fortunately, the result did not develop into an unmanageable situation, everyone is really good.

Hou Tiao knew very well what the monks in Yinling were guarding against. It was definitely not those little monsters all over the mountains and plains, but a very small number of them. , It is necessary to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots!

This weasel is worried that it will attract revenge from human monks, so it looks timid. Of course, it is also because the weasel breed always thinks before and after. If it is a wolf monster, it will not think so much. , take a bite first.

It was really dangerous here, but it was his first night in Yinling, and he encountered an existence that could cause him fatal damage, which was also a reminder to him.

Two days later, Hou Tiao came to a place surrounded by mountains and rivers. The mountains are earthen bumps and the water is streams, but it is also very precious in Yinling. This is the location of Fangjiawu Fort.

Wubao was built on a soil bag, surrounded by dozens of watchtowers, with amazing defense capabilities; there are hundreds of buildings inside, layered on top of each other. It is said that it has a population of nearly [-], and it is the largest human force in the surrounding area.

Most of the people here are surnamed Fang, which is a large ethnic group, and the patriarch Su Lao is also held by members of the Fang clan. This kind of social structure is very stable. Of course, it means that the power of the government is relatively weak and relatively xenophobic.

There are thousands of hectares of fertile land around Wubao, and food and livestock are not a problem. Self-sufficiency is the most common state of life for the locals. Of course, whenever a caravan comes, it is a grand festival for the villagers of Wubao.

Looking at such a complex of buildings, Hou Tiao couldn't help but lament the greatness of human beings. How much manpower and material resources would it take to build such a majestic building?Dozens of watchtowers are each tens of feet high, and the windows are perforations. Once the only fortress gate is closed, this is an independent kingdom.

Driving uphill, looking back, Wubao villagers scattered in the field, a scene of prosperity; there are more than a dozen safe houses scattered in the field, which are used for temporary shelter in case of running out in time.

In any case, it has achieved the ultimate in safety and is impeccable.

But he didn't like this place. At best it was a castle, at worst it was a prison.

"Stop! Name, household registration, directions, purpose?"

In front of the Wubao Gate, there were more than [-] Baoding, all of them were powerful, wearing armor, carrying a machete on their waists, and pointing their half-length spears at him; The cultivation base of Qi, speaking is one of them.

Dabao's ability to survive here really has a lot of background, and it seems that it is not difficult for nearly ten thousand people to cultivate some low-level monks.

Only this kind of aura can be seen as a man who has experienced fighting, even when facing monks, he is still not polite; Hou Tiao can understand, from Jincheng's description of this place, he knows that he can survive for thousands of years. The main thing to rely on is yourself, not the Quanzhen disciples who are like revolving lanterns.

To these brave souls he had no monastic airs.

After getting off the horse, he took out the sword talisman, "Quanzhen waits for Tiao, come to see Lord Yamen."

There was a half-smile in everyone's eyes. This was the first time Hou Tiao saw mortals laughing at practitioners. Although they didn't show it clearly, the meaning was undoubtedly revealed.

The leader, a red scarf, took the sword talisman and tossed it a few times in his hands, speaking frivolously,

"Senior brother Quanzhen, the Quanzhen sect in our Fangjiabao values ​​it so much, I am really grateful; the sword amulet is real, but we are not sure if there is anything unclean on your body, so we have to check it."

Hou Tiao's heart sank. In just a few words, he knew the status of Quanzhen Sect here, which may be different from other towns; the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the power of cultivation is weak. to this point.

But he doesn't want to get entangled with these people here. If something happens, everyone will be ashamed. He will stay here for at least three years, and he will have a long time to come, so he is not in a hurry.

"So, let's check."

He didn't want to explain anything. The other party knew that he was a Quanzhen disciple, and he also knew that he couldn't have any foreign objects on his body. If he still did this, narrow-minded people would think it was humiliation, but he would rather take it as a serious matter. Responsible performance.

He came here to deal with ghosts and demons, not to deal with people.

The two leading red scarves were a little surprised at his resignation. Another monk would have yelled at him a long time ago. This may be due to self-restraint, but it may also be due to his temper.

A person yelled at the top of the castle gate, and as he yelled, an ancient mirror rolled out from a window several feet above his head, and took a picture of him...

This is, the demon mirror?

The ancient mirror swept back and forth on Hou Tiao's body, but of course it couldn't show anything. One of the red scarves knew this before, and smiled slightly.
"Then, who will lead the way for this Lord Hou? The road in the castle is complicated, sir, don't get lost, it would be bad to break into the boudoir of a little daughter-in-law!"
