Chapter 88 Strange Species (Please subscribe)

"There is a Mojia Town in Yanling County. Strange things have happened frequently recently. I have a real person from Chongyang Temple who has gone there to see it and found nothing unusual. Generally speaking, there are three reasons for strange things. One is that there are strange believers secretly causing trouble; There are monsters taking shape, and third, there are monster sources.”

Master Yuyang said.

"Master, what is the source of the strange thing?"

Ye Cheng was surprised.

It was the first time he had heard the term.

"The birth of monsters is not without reason, but there are traces to follow. There is often a source of monsters first, then there are monsters, and finally there is a monster religion."

Master Yuyang explained the situation.

Ye Cheng suddenly realized.

"There are three possibilities for strange things happening in Mojia Town, because the monster can basically not be discovered before it takes shape, and the source of the monster cannot be discovered while it is taking shape. However, unlike the monster, the source of the monster cannot be discovered. After being discovered, it cannot be eliminated. All the creatures and items from the source of the monster can only be moved away. Such places often become restricted areas. There are many such restricted areas in our country, Luo."

Master Yuyang continued.

"Master, if it is the second type and monsters are being born, doesn't that mean there is a source of monsters in Mojia Town?"

Ye Cheng asked.

"That's not necessarily the case. The birth of monsters does not necessarily require the source of monsters. According to my human race's research on monsters, there is a kind of strange species wandering outside the world. It will take advantage of the situation at any time, break through the defenses of this world, and fall into the human world. Come on, if this monster falls on animals, plants, insects, fish, or special items, it will turn into a monster, plant, insect, water monster, and if the monster simply falls to the ground, it will form a source of monsters."

Master Yuyang sighed, "The source of strange things is controllable before it causes pollution, but once pollution occurs, it will be very scary, because a terrible strange tide will form."

"So, I have this consideration in sending you on this mission. If the source of monsters is really taking shape, if you can detect it in advance, you can resolve a strange tide. If it is just a simple monster taking shape, then It can also eliminate strange disasters in advance."

He continued.

"Master, am I the only one who will go on this mission?"

Ye Cheng asked again.

He felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.

"Of course not, we will definitely send someone, but you can choose a real person."

Master Yuyang said.

"Then can I choose Senior Brother, Senior Sister Qianhe, or Senior Brother Wu Mu?"

Ye Cheng was extremely surprised that he could still pick a real person and said immediately.

"Senior Brother You and Senior Sister Qianhe are about to go to Jiming City. As for Wu Mu, he has another mission."

Master Yuyang shook his head, "In this list, there are real people who don't have tasks yet. Just pick one."

As he spoke, he threw out a pamphlet.

Ye Cheng took the brochure, looked at it, and immediately saw the name of the senior sister.

"Master, I choose Master Yunlong."

Ye Cheng said hastily.

"can."

Master Yuyang nodded.

After leaving Yuqing Hall, Ye Cheng went straight to Chaoyuan Cave.

Since I have chosen the senior sister, I need to tell her first to see if she is willing to go.

Sure enough, the eldest sister stayed in Chaoyuan Cave to practice. It must be said that the eldest sister was a real ascetic monk.

"Senior Sister Yunlong."

After Ye Cheng entered, he quickly said hello.

"Junior Brother Xiaobai?"

The senior sister opened her eyes, "What do you want from me?"

Xiaobai rarely comes here, usually because he has something to do.

"My master has assigned me a Tao-keeping mission. I can choose any real person, so I chose you. Senior sister, it shouldn't affect your practice, right?"

Ye Cheng immediately explained the reason.

"When to set off?"

The senior sister asked calmly.

"Tomorrow."

Ye Cheng said.

He has to go to the second senior brother's place to eat hot pot today, so he definitely can't leave today.

"it is good."

The senior sister nodded slightly.

"Master, then I'll go first."

Ye Cheng immediately turned around and left.

When talking to Senior Sister, I only have awkward conversations, but it is much more relaxed to talk to Senior Sister Yu Zhen and Second Senior Brother.

The senior sister didn't care and closed her eyes again.

evening.

Taoyuan.

A group of people gathered around the hot pot, eating and drinking.

Senior Brother, Senior Sister Qianhe, Senior Brother Wumu, their disciples and other Yuqing Palace disciples, more than a dozen people formed a circle.

"Second Senior Brother, Junior Brother Xiaobai has already reached the ninth level of Qi Realm. Aren't you anxious?"

Brother Wumu took a sip of peach blossom wine and said frankly.

"It's useless to be anxious. You won't be able to understand the will of martial arts if you are anxious."

Senior brother Dique picked up a piece of tofu, ate it in one bite without caring about burning it, and then said nonchalantly.

"Everyone has his or her own way to understand martial arts. Second Junior Brother, you are not in a hurry. Junior Brother Wumu, why are you in a hurry?"

The eldest brother chuckled.

"Aren't I worried for the second senior brother?"

Brother Wu Mu took a swig of peach blossom wine and let the wine drip onto his clothes, looking unruly.

"Junior Brother Xiaobai, you are going on a mission tomorrow. You must be careful and be more cautious when you go out."

The senior brother looked at Ye Cheng and said immediately.

"Elder brother, I will."

Ye Cheng nodded and said.

"Second Junior Brother, how did you come up with this hot pot? It's really delicious. It's a pity that we have to go to Jiming City. I probably won't be able to eat it for a long time."

The eldest brother ate a large piece of tripe and then said with emotion.

"Senior Brother, this is very easy to make. I made some hot pot base ingredients. Senior Brother can bring it over."

The second brother said quickly.

"Forget it, I have to do it myself. It's too troublesome. You, Senior Sister Qianhe, don't like doing this kind of thing either."

The elder brother shook his head.

It's one thing to like to eat, but it's another thing to make it yourself.

"Second Senior Brother, give me some base ingredients and I'll take them with me to eat."

Ye Cheng said hastily.

"no problem."

Senior brother Dique nodded immediately.

After eating and drinking, Ye Cheng also returned to the wooden house in the forest.

It has basically been restored to the way it was before the strange disaster, and even the bamboo forest has been completely restored.

He began to prepare various daily necessities for tomorrow's departure.

Today he did not practice any more, but went to bed early.

Early the next morning, Ye Cheng arrived at Xinhuo Valley.

All the Taoist disciples who went on the Taoist mission with him have arrived.

Ye Cheng discovered that in addition to Senior Sister, there was also Senior Brother Dique and Kong, and even Senior Sister Yu Zhen was also there.

"Sister Yu Zhen, why are you here?"

he asked curiously.

"I saw you doing the task of guarding the road, so I also chose this one. Xiaobai, what, don't you want to do the task with me?"

Senior Sister Yu Zhen chuckled.

"No, I'm just weird."

Ye Cheng shook his head.

Anyway, with his current strength, he can already protect Senior Sister Yu Zhen.

If Senior Sister Yu Zhen was asked to do other tasks of keeping the law, he would not be at ease.

"Second Senior Brother, why didn't you tell me last night that you were going too?"

Ye Cheng looked at Senior Brother Dique again.

"I have to do the task of guarding the road anyway, so I might as well go with Junior Brother Xiaobai."

Senior brother Dique chuckled.

Is this really the reason?
Ye Cheng was very suspicious.

He couldn't help but look at the senior sister.

In fact, he had known for a long time that the second senior brother seemed to be interested in the eldest sister. However, he felt that the second senior brother would not be able to succeed, because the eldest sister was the kind of person who devoted herself wholeheartedly to martial arts and nothing else.

What's more, senior brother Dique is not even a Taoist master of artistic conception, while senior sister has become a real person.

The difference between the two is too great.

"Xiaobai, let's go."

The senior sister said calmly.

"Okay, let's go."

Ye Cheng nodded, and then he couldn't wait to climb on a horse.

Suddenly, the horse's two front legs went weak and he knelt directly on the ground.

"Xiao Bai, you are too heavy. This horse may not be able to carry you."

Senior sister Yu Zhen said with a smile.

Although the war horses used in the Double Ninth Festival are extremely precise and weigh four to five hundred kilograms, according to the normal carrying capacity, it is usually about 20.00%, which means it is about one hundred kilograms.

Once the load is overloaded, running speed and sustained ability will be affected.

Xiao Bai weighs at least two hundred kilograms. It's surprising that this war horse can carry it.

Ye Cheng scratched his head.

He thought that since he had shrunk in size, he would be able to ride a horse.

It's a pity that the shrinking technique he practiced only reduced his body size and would not reduce his weight.

He now weighs more than 250 pounds, which is more than [-] kilograms.

"Forget it, I'd better take the carriage."

Ye Cheng sighed.

He suddenly had the idea to go to the mountains to catch a tiger as a mount.

The tiger is much larger than the war horse, so its load-bearing capacity should be greater.

Ye Cheng's depressed look made the senior sisters and others couldn't help but laugh.

Mojia Town.

A large town located in Yanling County.

It is about two hundred kilometers away from Zhongnan Mountain where the Chongyang Temple is located, and is located in the southwest of Ximing County. Yanling County is a famous hot place in Luo Kingdom.

Even in the cold winter, Yanling County does not need to wear thick cotton clothes.

If it's summer, the hot weather can burn people to death.

The geographical environment here is very special and completely different from that of surrounding counties.

A small team has entered Yanling County, and its destination is Mojia Town.

"This Yanling County is really special. Why is it so hot?"

Senior brother Dique looked up at the scorching sun.

It's late autumn now and the weather has turned cooler.

But it's still like summer here.

Fortunately, the people in Chongyang Temple are all masters of martial arts. Not only are they immune to cold and heat, at least they are quite tolerant of cold and heat.

In the carriage, Ye Cheng was holding a melon and munching on it.

This melon is a bit like the watermelon in the previous life. You don't need to peel it, but you can peel it and eat it. The flesh is purple, somewhat similar to dragon fruit.

The taste is very sweet, especially refreshing.

"Senior Brother Dique, how long will it take for you to arrive?"

Ye Cheng asked with satisfaction after finishing a melon.

He felt that staying in the carriage was much more comfortable than being outside in the sun.

"It's almost time. After passing the hill in front, we should be at Mojia Town."

Senior brother Dique said.

After walking for more than an hour, the team finally arrived at Mojia Town.

It is indeed a big town, and it has city walls.

Although it is not high, it is quite large.Moreover, there is a deep ditch in front of the city wall, a suspension bridge, the city gate is closed, and there are soldiers patrolling and guarding the city wall.

The main reason is that in the past few years, Ximing County was full of chaos, strange disasters occurred everywhere, and rebels and bandits were raging. In order to protect themselves, many local villages and towns formed their own militia under the leadership of some warriors.

Even though the chaos has improved now, Ximing County is no longer peaceful.

After all, the Chongyang Temple mainly deals with strange things and disasters. As for rebels, bandits and the like, these are all matters of the local government.

It's just that the government has not been able to clean up the rebel bandits and the remaining strange believers are lurking. Therefore, a large town like Mojia Town still maintains the armed force of the militia.

"Who are you?"

The soldiers on the city wall shouted loudly.

"We are Taoist disciples of Chongyang Temple, and we were ordered to come and take charge here."

Senior brother Dique said immediately.

"Double Ninth Festival?"

When the soldier heard this, he immediately showed a look of surprise, because he had been informed a long time ago that Taoist warriors from Chongyang Temple would be coming in the near future.

"Excuse me, Taoist priests. I'll go ask the mayor for instructions now."

Then the soldier turned around and ran down the city wall.

After only a few minutes, the simple city gate slowly opened, and then the suspension bridge was lowered, and a group of fully armed Mojia town warriors came out.

"I am Mo Wuping, the mayor of Mojia Town. I have met all the Taoist priests."

The leader, a big man with a black beard, bowed respectfully and said, "I'm really sorry for keeping you Taoist masters waiting for so long. A banquet has been prepared in the house to welcome you Taoist masters."

There will definitely not be anyone pretending to be a Taoist warrior in Chongyang Temple.

"Mayor Mo, you're welcome."

Senior brother Dique said immediately.

Although the senior sister is a real person, she doesn't like to interact with others. The job of communicating with Mojia Town was left to senior brother Dique, and it was already discussed before coming.

Although Senior Brother Dique stutters a little, he still has a good way of communicating with others.

The people in Mojia Town didn't dare to underestimate senior brother Dique because of this.

After all, he is the Taoist priest of Chongyang Temple, which is half of Ximing County.

Whether Ximing County is in chaos or not, Chongyang Temple has the final say.

Soon, under the leadership of Mo Wuping, the mayor of Mojia Town, Chongyang Guan and his party entered Mojia Town.

With a population of tens of thousands, Mojia Town is not small.

It's like a small town.

Quite popular.

It's just that strange things have happened frequently recently, causing people in the town to panic.

Now that the people from the Chongyang Festival arrived, the townspeople were immediately excited.

Chongyang Temple is the largest Taoist sect in Ximing County and has always been a protective god.

Arriving at the Mojia Town Hall in the center of the town, this is where the mayor of Mojia Town has his office.

After all, it was a big town. The mayor was included in the official scope of the Luo Kingdom and had a rank. However, he was often autonomous and elected by the town, and was conferred an official position by the court.

When they arrived outside the town hall, the people at Chongyang Temple dismounted one after another.

Ye Cheng got off the carriage.

The people in Mojia Town suddenly saw a white ape walking out of the carriage, wearing a Taoist robe, a Taoist crown, and carrying a large sword like a door panel. They were all a little dumbfounded.

Some timid people were so frightened that they took a few steps back, shouting, "Weird. Weird."

"Don't be afraid, everyone. This is my Taoist Master Yuan Bai from Chongyang Temple. Although he is a white ape, he has already entered the Taoist register."

The Dique Taoist saw the expressions of everyone in Mojia Town and immediately explained.

Yuan Bai is the name of Yecheng's naturalized Chongyang Temple.

It's just that I usually call him Xiaobai.

Although Ye Cheng's body shape has become much more normal, it is much larger than a normal ape. Coupled with this appearance, the impact on the people of Mojia Town is naturally very strong.

"Don't be surprised, Taoist Master Yuan Bai. We, the country folk, are taciturn and have little knowledge."

Mo Wuping, the mayor of Mojia Town, reacted the fastest and quickly saluted Ye Cheng and apologized.

"Mayor Mo, don't blame me if you don't know. From now on, just think of me as an ordinary Taoist priest of Chongyang Temple."

Ye Cheng spoke in ventriloquism.

The people in Mojia Town were greatly shocked.

This Taoist Master Yuan Bai is actually able to speak, which is indeed a wonder in the world.

This is the first time Ye Cheng has faced humans outside the Double Ninth Festival.

It was also his first time communicating with outsiders.

He will still be quite excited inside.

It's just that he acted very blandly.

After some pleasantries, everyone in the Chongyang Temple entered the town house under the guidance of the mayor of Mojia Town.

This was Ye Cheng's first time participating in a Taoist mission and dealing with secular people, so during the banquet, he did not speak at all and only ate.

Although the second senior brother stutters in speech, he often does tasks and deals with people, and he has long been able to do it with ease.

After drinking and eating, the mayor Mo Wuping began to talk about a series of strange things that had happened in the town recently.

"Mayor Mo, does this strange incident involve various locations in Mojia Town?"

After everyone listened, the senior sister said in a deep voice.

The senior officials accompanying Mojia Town knew that this cold and aloof-looking female Taoist Priest was a real person, so they were naturally in awe.

After all, reaching the level of real master, Ximing County is regarded as a high-end combat power.

"Master Yunlong, this is the map where strange things happened."

The mayor of the town, Mo Wuping, waved, and a servant immediately sent him a map, which marked the locations where strange things had happened.

The senior sister took it and looked at it. There were densely packed markings on it, and they were all over Mojia Town. There were hundreds of them.

This is not a small amount.

The frequency of strange things is too high.

And there are too many locations.

Under normal circumstances, there will be specific patterns in the location and frequency of strange things.

But what happened in Mojia Town seemed to have no pattern.

The only thing that is pretty good is that the strange things that happen in Mojia Town are not too dangerous and are relatively ordinary. There are strange screams, or chickens crow in the middle of the night, or there are ghost fires floating in the air. .
Although the residents of Mojia Town were disturbed, there were no accidental deaths for the time being.

Generally speaking, strange things will gradually become serious in the process of accumulation, and eventually fatalities and injuries will occur.

And this strange thing in Mojia Town doesn't seem to be in line with these common sense.

"Mayor Mo, we are temporarily aware of the situation in Mojia Town. If something strange happens again, you can just inform us directly."

The elder sister said.

"It's all thanks to Master Yunlong and all the Taoist priests."

Mo Wuping, the mayor of Mojia, stood up quickly and said respectfully.

Next, the people in Chongyang Temple left the town and moved into a nice big house that had been arranged long ago.

house.

Everyone sat together and discussed how to deal with the strange things in Mojia Town.

"The distribution of weird things in Mojia Town is a bit strange. I'm afraid it's not trivial. Starting today, we need to patrol."

The senior sister began to distribute.

Regarding the fact that Ye Cheng has super sensing ability, except for the senior officials of Chongyang Temple, ordinary Taoist disciples do not know about it, but the senior sister, as a real person, naturally knows about it.

So, she didn't say it directly.

This matter is regarded as the secret of Chongyang Temple.

She knew that the senior officials of Chongyang Temple sent Junior Brother Xiaobai to participate in this Tao-keeping mission, just to use their special sensing ability to find the source of the strange things.

After the tasks were assigned, everyone went to work.

The senior sister left Ye Cheng behind.

"Junior Brother Xiaobai, come and walk around the town with me."

The elder sister said.

"Okay, big sister."

Ye Cheng nodded, naturally knowing the intention of the senior sister.

So, one person and one ape left the big house and walked on the street.

It attracted the attention of many townspeople.

The people in the town seemed to have been warned in advance. No one dared to watch. At most, they only took a look from a distance and then pretended that nothing happened.

Even if they meet head-on, the townspeople will politely salute and then step aside.

It's just unclear how much discussion there will be about Ye Cheng behind the scenes.

Soon, one person and one ape came to a place where strange things happened.

Ye Cheng mobilized his demonic power, used the demonic eye technique, and began to observe.

After a while, he shook his head and did not notice any strange power fluctuations.

As long as there is strange power in the air, it will definitely not be hidden from his Demon Eye Technique.

As for other abnormalities, he didn't find any.

The senior sister didn't say much, and then continued shopping. It took more than two hours to walk through Mojia Town, including all the places where strange things happened.

But Ye Cheng used the demon eye technique and found nothing unusual.

Moreover, he even used the demon eye technique to look at the townspeople of Mojia Town he saw, and found no strange warriors.

However, he discovered a very strange problem.

That is because the proportion of warriors in Mojia Town is relatively high.

Moreover, there are many high-level Qi realm warriors.

He even sensed several artistic conception warriors who had understood martial intent.

For example, the mayor Mo Wuping is a warrior of artistic conception.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to judge the artistic conception warrior without releasing his martial intention.

Only by reaching the real person can you vaguely sense some clues.

However, Ye Cheng used the demonic eye technique to determine that in the aura emitted by the artistic conception warrior, in addition to the inner aura, there was also aura representing martial intent.
100% accurate.

It is even possible to judge the level of martial arts comprehension based on the strength of Qi.

The martial spirit of ordinary martial artists will be very weak and extremely illusory.

If it is a top-notch real person like Master Yuyang, the aura that represents martial intent is extremely strong, as if it is about to solidify and become real.

Therefore, this Mojia Town is not like an ordinary town at all.

Except for not seeing a grandmaster, the strength of Mojia Town is not much weaker than those powerful martial arts forces in Ximing County.

According to the information Ye Cheng has, Mojia Town is just a big town with a bit of force. Most of the people in the town have the surname Mo, and there are very few people with other surnames.

It is said that Mojia Town was originally a gathering place established by a group of people with the surname Mo who migrated more than 200 years ago, and later gradually developed into the current Mojia Town.

In the next few days, Ye Cheng and Senior Sister would go out for a walk, but no problems were found.

What's even more outrageous is that after the Chongyang Temple people arrived in Mojia Town, nothing strange happened in the past few days.

This makes people have to doubt that these so-called strange things are not caused by strange warriors secretly doing things?

Otherwise, why would the strange things disappear once the people who watch the Double Ninth Festival arrive?

In the mansion.

Everyone sat together and talked.

"There are two possibilities for the situation in Mojia Town. One is that the strange warriors are secretly doing it, and the other is that the people of Mojia Town are doing it themselves."

Senior brother Dique said.

The eldest sister said nothing and frowned, because she and Xiaobai had walked through every corner of Mojia Town in the past few days, and even looked at almost everyone in Mojia Town. If there is really a strange warrior hiding, it must be Can't hide Ye Cheng's eyes.

After all, with Xiaobai's help, Chongyang Temple eliminated the strange cult warriors hidden in Ximing County.

If there are no strange cult warriors causing mischief, there is only one last possibility left, and that is that the strange things in Mojia Town are caused by themselves.

But why is Mojia Town doing something evil?

And she also felt that the martial arts strength in Mojia Town was a bit unusual.

Although she doesn't sense it as clearly as Xiaobai, as a real person, she can actually sense some auras.

Therefore, she thinks that this Mojia Town is not as simple as imagined.

"Master Yunlong, if it is really the people of Mojia Town who are responsible for the trouble, then we might as well take down the mayor of Mojia Town and interrogate him directly. We will definitely be able to find out."

A Taoist disciple said immediately.

The others nodded.

No matter which possibility it is, they think the mayor of Mojia Town must know the real cause of the strange things?
The mayor, Mo Wuping, is the highest authority in Mojia Town. He controls a martial arts force and has strong control over Mojia Town.

Even if there are really strange warriors secretly causing trouble, I don't believe Mo Wuping doesn't know about it.

But from beginning to end, the mayor Mo Wuping never said anything.

The truth must be concealed.

What is the truth?
