Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 41 The Mountain Wolf

Wan Tiancang lived in Lichuankou for more than half a year, living in seclusion every day, seeing the green rice buds emerging one after another, he was very happy, and at night he cast the spirit rain technique on the spiritual field in the courtyard, As he crossed his legs and adjusted his breath, he vaguely heard voices boiling outside the courtyard.

He couldn't help opening his eyes, seeing the flames flickering in the dark night outside the courtyard, as if someone was running around holding a torch, his heart sank suddenly, he opened the courtyard door and looked out.

Seeing a child rushing over with a torch, Wan Tiancang hurriedly said:
"The boy! What happened!"

"My lord! The old leaf at the head of the village died. He said it was a monster and told everyone in the village to go there."

The child quickly stopped, holding the torch, looking at Wan Tiancang anxiously, seeing this immortal who had not been out of the courtyard for more than half a year frowned, took half a step towards the outside of the courtyard and then retreated.

"It happened that Li Chuankou was attacked by monsters! This spiritual rice has only been planted for more than half a year, but nothing will happen."

Wan Tiancang wanted to find Li Tongya, but was afraid that the monster would be thinking about the spiritual rice in the garden, so in a dilemma, he had to squat down and call the child:
"Go and call Chen Erniu over."

"Yes!"

The child just got up, the two saw the flames flickering in the forest, and a group of people came out surrounded by Chen Erniu.

"Master Immortal! How can this be done!"

Chen Erniu was sweating profusely. Before the people from the master's family arrived, two more villagers died in the village. Both of them had their brains gouged out. The death was miserable. Worrying around like ants.

"Has anyone seen this monster?"

Wan Tiancang looked at the sweaty Chen Erniu, and said in a solemn voice.

"No, the dead often don't even make a sound!"

Hearing this, Wan Tiancang retreated immediately. He was only a minor cultivator at the peak of Xuanjinglun. How could he have the strength to deal with this kind of monster that seemed to come and go like the wind? He smiled wryly in his heart:
"Li Tongya, Li Tongya, where the hell are you!"

"Brother Wan!"

Wan Tiancang paused for a few breaths, and just about to speak, he interrupted his words with a loud shout approaching from a distance.

He looked up, and saw a young man wearing rattan armor and holding a longbow striding forward imposingly, smiling at him with his white teeth showing.

"Young patriarch!"

Chen Erniu hastily bowed down, Wan Tiancang's mind was clear at once, he might be Li Xiangping in front of him, he cupped his hands and said:

"Wan family, Wan Tiancang, met the young patriarch."

Li Xiangping waved his hand, signaled Chen Erniu to get up, and said to Wan Tiancang:

"Brother Wan, wait a moment."

Turning to look at Chen Erniu, said in a deep voice:
"The whole village, old and weak, women and children, came to the perimeter of the courtyard together. The villagers sat in a team of ten, three feet apart, and each team ensured that there were at least five teams within the field of vision."

After saying that, he went into the courtyard with Wan Tiancang, ignoring the others.

"Yes!"

Chen Erniu immediately found the backbone, and quickly responded, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Li Xiangping just entered the courtyard, Wan Tiancang smiled bitterly and said:

"Brother Li, I'm afraid this monster's cultivation level is not low, and Tian Cang may not be able to help him."

Li Xiangping laughed and said bluntly:
"Brother Wan, you don't have to play around with me. Your Wan family wants to keep Lingdao, and my Li family wants to keep Lichuankou. My two families are still grasshoppers on the same rope!"

Wan Tiancang shuddered suddenly, complaining in his heart, if this monster is not at Lichuankou, Wan Tiancang will not care whether it eats people or not!He could laugh out loud while watching the Li family suffer while holding Lingdao, but now he had to help.

Putting away his little thoughts, Wan Tiancang pondered for a while, took out a pen and paper from the room, sat down to write something, and explained:

"The safest plan now is for me to write a book and call my Patriarch to help. It is best to resolve this matter before dawn!"

"Not bad!"

Li Xiangping nodded, and continued:
"You write three letters by hand, and I will send people out of the village from three directions, in case there is an accident on the road and you can't reach the territory of Wanjia."

Wan Tiancang nodded repeatedly, and wrote for about a quarter of an hour, but he heard screams for help outside the courtyard one after another, and it was a mess.

Li Xiangping went out to have a look with a sullen face. There were a group of old and weak women and children sitting in front of the courtyard, each of them lit a fire, and each of them raised their heads and looked into the distance in horror, weeping or marveling softly.

The villagers not far away have gathered around the most marginal group of people, holding long sticks and door panels in their hands, and staring at the nearby woods timidly.

"It's a mountain wolf."

Wan Tiancang stood beside Li Xiangping with a pen in his hand, looking at the pair of green eyes in the forest from a distance, said in a deep voice.

A giant wolf as big as an ox, covered in silver-gray fur, is walking out of the forest with dark green pupils. The gray-silver wolf has a long, pointed snout, wide corners of the mouth, erect ears and drooping tail, forcing the villagers to back up again and again. .

Raising their heads and passing the crowd, the pair of recruits stared coldly at Li Xiangping standing on the stone steps of the courtyard gate, with their pointed lips slightly raised, as if they were chuckling.

"This beast..."

Wan Tiancang was sweating profusely for a while, silently wiped off the cold sweat, and continued:
"Looking at the agile expression, at least he has swallowed the essence of the sun and the moon, and condensed the Yujinglun."

Li Xiangping faced the monster head-on, and his back felt chills. Looking at the corner of the giant wolf's slightly raised mouth, and staring coldly at his dark green pupils, he felt a bit of disdain.

"If my Patriarch loses to this monster..."

Wan Tiancang raised his head suddenly, looked at Li Xiangping quietly, his lips moved, and spoke with some difficulty.

"The monster of the first round of spirit?"

Li Xiangping narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Plan for the worst in everything. If this monster is more than Yujinglun, lead it to the southeast, bypass Lijing Village, and climb Lijing Mountain. My Li family has a formation there. Yours The Patriarch can take advantage of the terrain to kill that monster."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Wan Tiancang carefully revised the three letters and handed them to Chen Erniu. Seeing that he ordered someone to send the letter, Wan Tiancang shook his head with a wry smile and said:

"That animal has cultivated into a Yujinglun, and its spiritual wisdom has been opened. It should have eaten many people. It has already set its sights on you and me. Immortal cultivators are a great tonic. You and I have nowhere to go."

"Don't panic."

Li Xiangping waved his hands, stared closely at the monster's eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised like that of the wolf, and there was also a bit of a smile, and he said softly:
"I saw my father hunt wolves when I was young, and this animal is the most cautious. Now that it has been built into a Yujinglun, it has to be so cautious. It is a good thing to keep an eye on us. Just follow my orders."

"Chen Erniu!"

"Subordinates are here!"

Chen Erniu hurried forward and listened carefully.

"The villagers gradually retreated, surrounded us, and retreated slowly to the south. The old and weak, women and children don't need to move, and the monster will definitely come after them."

"The villagers on the outskirts threw away the door panels and held the torches to the outside. Once the monster approached, roared or yelled, scolded or scolded, there must be no half fear! If the monster comes, tie it up with a long stick. Sweeping and hitting the ground with a long knife, the wolf has slender legs, this monster must be cherished."

Taking out a polished and shiny arrow from the quiver, Li Xiangping pinched the magic formula in his hand, and a faint golden light appeared on the arrow.

Putting the arrow tail on the string, Li Xiangping said coldly:

"go!"
