Longevity begins with Orion.

Chapter 129 127. Complete the exploration and move to the Shenmu Temple (big chapter - please subscribe)
Gong Shanjun died, and all the monster hunters were silent.

Ninth grade, eighth grade, dare not speak.

The seventh rank, but know that Gong Shanjun pointed a wrong way to death, this may be his way of death, so what can I say?

But the question is, how did this person know?
More importantly, what will they face?
beat?
Unrealistic.

The old monster who looked like a young man hadn't arrived before, and he defeated them in an instant with only stones, and the weight and severity were extremely delicate.

He just hurt everyone, but didn't kill.

You know, there are nine ranks, eight ranks, and seven ranks among these people, and everyone is different.

This shows that he has to instantly judge everyone's strength and apply just the right attack.

This kind of ability is even more terrifying than his ability to defeat everyone in an instant.

It's so scary that people can't resist.

At this time, Li Yuan glanced at the fresh and not yet dead sixth-rank corpse on the ground, and then at Tang Nian.

Tang Nian bit his lip, staring at Gong Shanjun's corpse in a daze, his fingers dangling on the side of his trousers slightly trembling.

Li Yuan took a deep look at his adoptive daughter, looked over her shoulder, glanced at the monster hunters behind, and then said loudly: "Follow me first."

The monster hunters didn't dare to say much, and followed Li Yuan back to the settlement step by step.

Tang Nian did not leave.

She knew what her adoptive father meant.

In other words, it was her adoptive father letting her choose.

She stood silently by the side of a wilderness road leading into the mountain, glanced at the corpse, then turned slightly to look at the puppet Tang Qiu, and then looked at the figure of her adoptive father who had gone away.

The sky is cloudy, today is a good weather.

The short-haired girl tried her best to draw a smile on her lips, but it disappeared in an instant.

She made a decision.

unpacking,
holding a knife,

He also took a small box specially for storing the hearts of monsters,
He squatted next to the corpse of the sixth-rank warrior.

The tip of the knife precisely melts away excess flesh and blood,
The girl's hands began to be stained with fiery blood.

After a while, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and the girl in white walked into Li Yuan's tent, followed by a big puppet.

Her hands were still dripping blood.

Her complexion is a little bad.

Killing people and stealing hearts are two different things.

She can control the puppets to kill those vicious thieves at will, but to get the heart, she needs to break through an obstacle in her heart.

"Daddy"

Tang Qiu lowered his head, his voice a little hoarse.

But the next moment, when she raised her head again, she grinned her lips forcefully, showing a bright smile, "I'm back.

The heart has been contained, prepare a new sixth-grade puppet material for me."

Li Yuan stood up and wanted to hold the adoptive daughter's hand, but found that the adoptive daughter was about the same age as him, so he gave up and said, "If your hands are dirty, just wash them."

"Then the heart is dirty?" Tang Nian asked suddenly.

Li Yuan glanced at her for a while, and said, "Honestly speaking, have you been peeking at your brother's "Legend of the Knights?"

Tang Nian was stunned for a moment, and said with a strange expression, "Father, how did you know?"

Li Yuan was speechless: "Otherwise you can say this?"

Tang Nian:.
Li Yuan asked, "Did you touch the corpse?"

Tang Nian:? ? ?
Li Yuandao: "It's the things in your arms. This kind of tent settlement is no better than a house. You should carry all your things with you."

Tang Nian nodded and said, "Nothing was found in his arms, but when I was doing the autopsy, besides the smell of blood, I also smelled a faint scent."

"fragrance?"

"It smells like flowers."

Li Yuan frowned slightly.

Tang Nian and the puppet Tang Qiu stood behind Li Yuan.

This time going out to practice, from the time she got off the carriage to now, it only took two or three days.

But in these two or three days of hard work, she has gained a lot, and her mind is also changing.

After a short while, a rough man stepped in, bowed down beside Li Yuan, and said respectfully: "Master."

This one is called "Wooden Dog Old Four". Li Yuan doesn't know why he is called such a strange name.
This kind of monster hunter whose name is not on the household registration book can do whatever he wants with his surname.

The fourth wooden dog has roughly told him everything.

Gong Shanjun is the leader of this small settlement, and he is the second.

This small settlement of demon hunters is not big, and they hunt on weekdays, and they only catch their prey at a few fixed points, and they dare not go to the setting sun rainfield.

As for family members, wives and concubines, none of these people exist.

If you want to have a good time, you will go to a nearby county with money in your pocket, have a lot of fish and meat, and then call some beautiful women, and have a good time for a few days, until you get bored of playing.

The exercises they practiced were actually obtained from the "Shan Gang" in Qiutang County next door.

Even they themselves basically split from the "Mountain Gang" a long time ago.

Li Yuan also knew about this "Mountain Clan", which was exactly the faction that was wiped out by General Gu Xiang and Zhao Xiantong's chaotic army seven years ago.

The fourth wooden dog continued to talk
They are members of the "Shan Gang", but Gong Shanjun is an outsider.

He was also the one who took the lead in doing the work of the demon hunter.

Now that he is dead, the fourth wooden dog will inherit his business, but the place to capture monsters will be further narrowed to the outside.
"Will it be impossible to hunt seventh-rank monsters in the future?" Li Yuan asked.

The fourth wooden dog said respectfully: "I will tell my master, I don't know.

Because the presence or absence of Gong Shanjun has little influence on us.

We rely on toxins.

Although the toxin formula was brought by Gong Shanjun, with the materials, we can all make it. "

After finishing speaking, the fourth wooden dog handed a leather scroll to Li Yuan and said, "Master, this toxin is called ghost incense."

Li Yuan nodded, took it, looked at it for a while, then turned around and handed it to Tang Nian.

This "ghost fragrance" is a combination fragrance.

In its formula, there are two kinds of auxiliary fragrance,

One is "Shadow Fragrance", this kind of "Shadow Fragrance" is made of the bones of seventh-grade monsters. It can arouse the blood energy of warriors and assist in cultivation, but it is not as good as eating monster meat directly.Surprisingly, this "meaty fragrance" is quite attractive to monsters.

One is "Huoliexiang", which is an extremely strong aroma that is not easily diluted.

The main incense is made of a herb called "Bingguhua".

This "ice bone flower" is also commonly known as "little ice bar". Except for the record in this recipe, outsiders don't know it at all.

It's an eerie white, cold, and extremely brittle plant.

And the place of growth is in the direction of the small village that Gong Shanjun pointed out just now.

Li Yuan suddenly said: "That small village is a ghost town, right?"

The fourth wooden dog nodded and said: "Gong Shanjun told me that it is a ghost domain, but as long as we don't enter the ghost domain, there will be no accidents. This ice bone grass is for us to run shadow blood to resist the evil spirits." Qi, picked on the outskirts of that ghost domain."

Li Yuan closed his eyes, and at this moment, he already understood the pharmacology of this "ghost fragrance".

Plants with strong yin energy are used as medicine, together with the fragrance that attracts monsters, so that after the monster smells it, the shadow blood in the body stagnates, and thus the legs become weak, resulting in a result similar to "ordinary people being enchanted by the fragrance".

"What kind of ghost domain?" Li Yuan asked again.

The fourth wooden dog said: "To my master, I didn't dare to look at it, and I didn't dare to approach it. I just heard from Gong Shanjun that it was a small villa."

Villa?

Li Yuan frowned slightly.

He suddenly remembered the villa he had seen before.

Dilapidated, moldy, like a huge corpse.

There is also a small bridge and flowing water in the village, and there are some strange black spots floating in the flowing water.

Back then, the tiger named Xiao Huang went with him, and then escaped together
The memory is so vivid that I still shudder thinking about it.

He asked the fourth wooden dog to take a sketch map of the surrounding mountains, draw the road again, and mark the approximate location of the villa.

Combining the distance and time in this way, Li Yuan found that it was the villa in all likelihood.

He looks at the map.

To the north of the map is the wilderness of Huishanbao County.

To the west, there are mountains, and after walking a long mountain road, you can go around to Qiutang County.

In the north, there will be more and more monsters.

And to the east is this villa.

Li Yuan thought about it, but still rejected the idea of ​​investigating.

It's just that this ghost domain is quite strange. There are "ice bone flowers" growing outside, this kind of plant that can restrain the shadow blood of monsters. I haven't seen it in other places.

It can also be regarded as a specialty of the local ghost domain.

No wonder Gong Shanjun wants to set up a settlement here to capture monsters. As for Gong Shanjun's other purposes, Li Yuan doesn't know
However, is there a possibility that there is a force behind Gong Shanjun.

Gong Shanjun came here to gather the demon hunters to contribute to the plan of this force.

However, according to Mugou Laosi, Gong Shanjun came here 30 years ago and has been here ever since.

Which power in the world would send a sixth-rank master to stay in the deep mountains and old forests for 30 years?Just catch monsters?
A lot of thoughts flashed by, Li Yuan put away these distracting thoughts, and then decided to go north to see if there is any place suitable for human habitation.

With the topographic map provided by the fourth wooden dog, he also has some ideas about the mountain in his heart, so he won't run around
"To the south, there are four mountain roads.

You can't go to the mountain road on the left. A certain section of the mountain road is trapped within the scope of the ghost domain, but the entrants don't know that as long as they pass through that section, it is equivalent to entering the ghost domain of the villa.

Therefore, this is a path of who goes and who dies, but it is also a place where the monster hunters collect ice bone flowers.

Fortunately, I subdued these monster hunters in advance, otherwise this place would be a dead end.

To find out by yourself is death.

I asked the demon hunter, in order not to expose the Bingguhua, the demon hunter will also use his tricks to trick you to die. "

"As for the two mountain roads in the middle, the paths are similar with minor differences, they both lead to the setting sun and rainy plains.

The monster hunters usually hunt in the open spaces, forests, or pools around these two mountain paths.

These two mountain roads should be very long, and the monster hunters only explored the small half of the front, and there should be more powerful monsters on the trail behind."

Li Yuan stared at it for a while, and felt that these two roads were a bit like "vents".

But it's not wind, it's monsters
Living in such a place, whether it is deep or not, is actually meaningless, because it is destined to face endless harassment by monsters.

"Maybe, I can use my demon taming skills to tame a few powerful monsters and help watch the house?"

After a little thought, Li Yuan shook his head again.

"This road leads to the setting sun and rain.

The setting sun and rain are known as the paradise of monsters, and there must be monsters of the fifth and fourth grades, and even higher grades.

As long as one comes, it will be a big trouble.

And I have no way to tame higher-grade monsters.

Living in the human world, at least one can predict dangers and prevent them from happening. Living in this vent, one has to worry about it every day. "

Immediately, Li Yuan looked at the mountain road on the far right again.

"This road is very strange, there are almost no monsters, but I don't know where it leads
The demon hunter went to explore the road several times, but either found nothing, or disappeared after going deep. "

"Dangerous, quite dangerous"

Li Yuan clenched his fists and supported his chin, staring at the picture and thinking for a while.

He decided to go find out for himself.

The leftmost and rightmost two mountain trails were ruled out, so he had to go to the middle two to have a look.

Afterwards, Li Yuan took Tang Nian to survey the mountains and forests, taking notes of the terrain of the mountain roads here from time to time.

Because of his ability to "read data", he can also record the situation of various monster branches.

After encountering a seventh-rank triangular cow-shaped monster on the road, Li Yuan tamed it, and then rode on the back of the bull with his adopted daughter and walked along the road.

With these seventh-rank monsters, other weaker monsters will not approach, thus avoiding some meaningless battles.

a month and a half later
The two returned to their original place.

Tang Nian was a snow-white little girl, but now she is tanned
At the same time, her eyes became sharper.

"Father, it seems that this place is not suitable for us to settle down."

Li Yuan nodded sympathetically.

The reality is really cruel.

Not only is it not suitable for living here, it is even full of danger.

In the process of deepening, he discovered an unimaginable thing: the monster is strong enough to a certain level, it can tame the weak monster, or it is not taming, but a command from the superior.

The triangular bull-shaped monster he was riding changed from "domesticated" to "wild" after entering a certain range, and it prostrated itself on the ground, begging for mercy.

No matter how much he yelled, the triangular bull-shaped monster would not get up.

Black taming. Failed.

In other words, it was interfered by a stronger force and became useless.

Li Yuan and Tang Nian turned around and ran. When they rounded a certain mountain peak, they turned their heads to look at the direction of the cliff in the distance. They saw a rumbling beast tide rushing through the canyon, and behind the beast tide was It was a huge, terrifying monster about as tall as a pavilion.

Li Yuan could see clearly that the data similar to Elder Zhu's was floating above the monster's head. Obviously, it was a fifth-rank monster.

Maybe it was because Li Yuan was not weak, or maybe it was because of his affinity, the terrifying monster just glanced at them, and then continued to move in the original direction.

The plan to use the south as a retreat is a failure.

Li Yuan decided to return to Shanbao County.

Before leaving, he took "ten sticks of ghost incense" from the settlement, and a box of about a thousand taels of gold ingots, which were regarded as spoils of war, and then set up a "secret code" with the fourth wooden dog for joint use in the future.

After leaving a demon sparrow to observe the situation, he returned to the carriage, and the royal carriage left.

After half an hour.
The settlement is completely invisible.

In the car, Tang Nian asked, "Father, are we going to Mianzhou Road?"

While raising the reins, Li Yuan said, "When we go back, the first batch of news should come."

Tang Nian responded.

Li Yuan suddenly said: "Do you still remember when we first came here, I asked you to go to that settlement for experience?"

"remember."

"Now. Any new ideas?"

In the carriage, Tang Nian paused for a moment, and then said, "I shouldn't be going."

"Why?" Li Yuan smiled.

Tang Nian said: "Because I just heard what my father said about the situation there, but I don't understand it at all, but I am full of confidence and self-righteous.

I'm not an assassin, and I'm not good at sneaking into camps, let alone poisoning people secretly.

I'm a puppeteer, and my fighting style has never been about being on the front lines.

Why should I sneak into that settlement?

Why should I go in person?

Even if my father gave me this task, I should fight for it because...that is not a task suitable for me. "

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I have made progress."

Tang Nian also smiled and said, "It's my father who taught me well."

In the past two months, she and Li Yuan have been together day and night, and she has been taught by her adoptive father's words and deeds, and she has been influenced a lot by her ears and eyes.

The way of doing things and the way of thinking have also begun to change.

Li Yuandao: "Will your heart still be dirty?"

Tang Nian said speechlessly: "Father, don't laugh at me anymore. It's not that I haven't fought in actual combat and I'm ignorant, so I'm hypocritical."

Li Yuandao: "If you go back and stay with Xiao Jin, remember to teach Xiao Jin by the way, you spend more time with her than my father."

"Got it, Dad."

a few days later.

Li Yuan returned to Shanbao County.

The proprietress brought a lot of information from Mianzhou Road.

"Mianzhou Road is a poor place with many forests.

Therefore, among the forces in the rivers and lakes of Mianzhou Road, the biggest one is the Gang of Beggars.

When people from Ningyu Chamber of Commerce, Hengwu Restaurant, and Baihua Restaurant entered Mianzhou Road, there was a gang of beggars blocking the way, asking for money and even women.

Fortunately, Yan Mu showed his identity, so he was able to pass smoothly. "

"There are eight mansions under Mianzhou Road, and the Yuantian Mansion where the Shenmu Temple is located is at the core.

In Yuantian Mansion, there are far fewer beggars, and even if they are there, they dare not act presumptuously."

"The inner city of Shenmu Temple is quite large, larger than the three Shanbao counties, and it is the most prosperous and safest place on the entire Mianzhou Road.

It is not easy to live there and do business there.

If our people didn't have the golden words of the aunt master, they would never even think about opening a shop, let alone doing business. "

"There is a very famous forbidden area on Mianzhou Road, it should be a big ghost area.

The locals call it Blissland. "

"Bliss Field?"

"Well, because there are a lot of laughter coming from there, the locals call it Paradise over there.

And because the Land of Bliss is very large, many people know about it.”

The proprietress said it one by one.

Li Yuan thought for a long time and wanted to make a decision, but he still hesitated.
Because Yan Niangzi was restricted by the ghost domain, she couldn't leave with him.

That night, after Li Yuan fell asleep, he went to the grocery store on Ghost Street.

Before he could speak, Lady Yan had already spoken.

"Sir, you have Yin energy on your body."

Li Yuan was stunned.

Yan Niangzi said again: "It's the fragrance of flowers from the flower shop."

Flowers from the florist?
when?
Li Yuan's expression froze slightly, and then he suddenly remembered the "light fragrance of flowers" that the righteous girl said. Could it be that Gong Shanjun is really weird?
Yan Niangzi said: "The flower shop has a kind of item called Resentful Soul Incense, which is a kind of incense powder, once it is sprinkled on someone's body, even if this person is in the ends of the world, he can also find it.

If this person is killed, the resentful soul incense will be attached to the person who killed him.Afterwards, the person who uses this incense of resentful souls will be able to find you along the route. "

Li Yuan's pupils shrank slightly.

Obviously, Gong Shanjun has the fragrance of resentful souls on his body.

He killed Gong Shanjun, and the incense came to him.

What her adopted daughter smelled was the residual fragrance.

"Then shall I go to the flower shop?"

"No need." Yan Niangzi said lightly, and then she directly raised her hand to grab Li Yuan's face.

That hand was icy cold and very fair.

With a pull of five fingers, a faint red smoke was pulled out from between Li Yuan's eyebrows.

Yan Niangzi clenched her fist, and the light red smoke immediately dissipated.

"It's all right now." Yan Niangzi said, "But there will still be some small troubles."

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure in Tsing Yi appeared on the pale and winding path outside the grocery store.

It's a hawker in Tsing Yi.

With a warm smile on his face, the peddler walked quickly to the grocery store, and did not enter the house, but stood motionless at the door.

And Feng'er, the white-clothed clerk behind the counter, also came to the door suddenly, and stood still after the sound of "cackling" all the way.

After a while, a little flower seller wearing a blood-red scarf and carrying a basket appeared on the road outside the door.

The little girl was expressionless and indifferent, and quickly ran to the grocery store, then clenched her fists and began to knock on the door.

Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
There was a loud knock on the door.

Then, the peddler opened the door.

The little girl grinned at the corner of her mouth, showing a weird smile, reached out and grabbed the peddler, and then wanted to drag him out.

But no dragging.

The peddler in Tsing Yi and the little girl selling flowers stalemate for a while, then suddenly separated again.

The little flower girl turned and ran away.

After a while, the Tsing Yi peddler turned around and went to the counter, got new rouge powder from the cupboard, and went to sell things on the front street again.

Yan Niangzi said: "I directly took off the yin energy from your body and attracted the ghost of the flower shop.

But because you don't have much yin energy on your body, only one ghost came to the flower shop.

It attacked the grocery store, but was blocked by the Tsing Yi vendor, so it went back again. "

Li Yuandao: "Sister Yan, do you know where the ghost domain of this flower shop is located?"

Yan Niangzi said: "In the southeast direction of Xiaomofang, it should be the place where you bumped into the evil spirit before."

After becoming an evil ghost, Lady Yan knew a lot of things all of a sudden.

Li Yuan was silent for a while.

huge corpse-like villa
Could it be a dead body.

Does the florist sell corpse flowers?
No wonder there are ice bone flowers blooming on the edge of Huangquan, it turns out to be a flower shop.
He De He Neng, I met a "Double Ghost Shop" when I was in Ninth Grade.
However, here comes the problem.

"Flower shop ghost land", "Binggu flower", "Gong Shanjun's body comes from the flower shop's resentful fragrance", these things are linked together, it seems to form a mysterious clue.

Where does this clue lead?

Is it the fishing line of the fishing rod?

Or is it one of the many lines that criss-cross on some web?

At that time, he still felt that "it is impossible for Gong Shanjun to be sent by a certain big force". After all, which big force would let a sixth-rank strong man become a monster hunter for 30 years?

Now it seems that he still underestimated the danger of this world.

and many more!

The black lotus that stopped the pursuers and poisoned a village to the point of melting.

Wait for a flower to bloom.

Black petals.

A lot of information, looking for more words, can't help but swarm in, and it seems that it has begun to build a big network that is vague, unverifiable, and seems to be just imagination.

"What's the matter, Mr. Yan?" Lady Yan asked.

Only then did Li Yuan come to his senses, and told what happened during this period, what he knew, and the guesses in his heart.

Lady Yan said: "If that's the case, you really have to leave."

Leaning on the man, she was pale all over.

"Take Xiao Jin and leave. Our children should live in the world, not in the ghost world."

"As a mother, I failed to give her eyes.

That, before leaving, I painted for her myself. "

Li Yuandao: "I will wrap a thousand miles around Yu Chaojin. No matter where I am, I will come to the black market to find you. It's just...Xiaojin"

"Take her away."

Lady Yan's expression softened, she glanced at the little girl who was playing in the distance of the grocery store, and said, "She shouldn't be here."

A month later.

Gu Xuejian came in person to pick up her precious disciple.

And Li Yuan has already made all kinds of preparations.

He went to Shexiang once, and Xu Lan and Xu Sheng of Shexiang had already broken through the seventh rank, and now they are on the way to Dzogchen.

He copied the [Picture of a Thousand Miles of Knights] and [Picture of Ghost Rain in Nanshan], handed the former to Xu Lan and the latter to Xu Sheng, and then left.

He put a copy of "Picture of Young Master Riding a Deer" in Wulu and handed it to Zhao Chunxin.

As for the original, he put it in the ghost domain of the black market. After all, this kind of thing cannot be carried with him.

Li Yuan knew exactly what the three visualization pictures outside would bring.

However, what he brought was what he expected.

He also went to see General Gu Xiang, but he was Mr. Mu and had nothing to do with the blood knife ancestor who was about to leave.

at this time
The big river thawed.

Li Yuan took his family and left with Gu Xuejian.

As for the Hengwu Restaurant and Baihua Winery, they will continue to operate in place, but both the restaurant and the winery have become the property of the Xuedaomen.

Li Yuan and the proprietress walked together, holding his daughter's hand at the same time.

Xiao Jin "grew" a pair of beautiful eyes.

Behind him is the adopted daughter, and a puppet wrapped in a cloak whose appearance cannot be seen clearly.

Pang Yuanhua was sitting in a wheelchair and followed behind him.

Then there are plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, Aunt Wang, Wang Dalang who was originally nicknamed Xiaosheng, and Wang Chuliu who was nicknamed Niuniu.

In the distance, there are the laughter of Gu Xuejian and Xiaopingan.

The deputy hall master was cultivating a relationship with her precious apprentice.

This long line, stop and go, stop and go, gradually go away
Li Yuan looked back at the direction behind his eyes.

And in the south of the Changmian River, in the south of Shanbao County, which is a border land.

A man and a woman are walking in the wilderness.

The man was tall and burly, dressed in red, with a calm look on his face.

The woman was dressed in a snow-white robe, her hair was disheveled, and her face was so pure that it made her feel ashamed, but her eyes were mixed with "stagnation caused by too much focus on research" and "crazy".

If Li Yuan was here, he would recognize this man as the owner of the Zhongfu on Ghost Street.

If Pang Yuanhua was here, he would have recognized this woman as her "roommate", the woman surnamed Long.

These two people walked in the wilderness, not at all worried about their own curse.

Apparently, their curse has been lifted not only once, but maybe twice, three times.
The master of Zhongfu said: "Gong Shanjun was killed, and the incense of resentful souls on his body was also cut off."

The woman surnamed Long said: "I haven't come out for a long time. If you ask me, I can't guess who it is."

The master of Zhongfu said in a calm tone: "I'm just talking, no matter who kills Gong Shanjun, no matter how the incense of resentful souls is cut off, it doesn't matter. We will know sooner or later."

"Xingke from outside, what are you going to do? Just keep pretending and coaxing?"

"It's not coaxing."

"Oh, you can strangle them to death by raising your hand, but you have to be patient."

"It's not them that I let, but the funeral room behind them."

"Shouyi Zhai? I haven't been out of the house for a long time, please tell me."

"Do you know the Tsing Yi hawker? Do you know the grocery store that suddenly appeared on Ghost Street?"

"I haven't been in, so I don't know."

"It is the perfect fusion of human and ghost, and it is an existence that cannot be duplicated.

There should be one in the grocery store, and a stronger one in the mortuary.”

"interesting."

The two strolled for a while.

The owner of the Zhong Mansion suddenly raised his head, and calmly said with a slightly intoxicated expression: "The lotus is about to bloom.
This is our unprecedented masterpiece.
This is a masterpiece that contains the power of a flower shop and the power of a strange beast garden. "

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and finally smiled and said, "Everyone is born from the heart, everyone is a beast."
