Clear clothes and immortals

Chapter 180 The reason
"Girl, don't be polite to me. Since you are here, you don't need to see us."

It's a pity that the thin monkey didn't feel Shuxuan's inner thoughts, and was still talking there familiarly.

"Okay, Skinny Monkey, this fellow Taoist is not weaker than you, and doesn't need your protection. If there are really strange beasts coming, you'd better protect yourself first!"

Seeing that the thin monkey was about to continue, the old man hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt him, and then said to Shuxuan, "Fellow Daoist, my residence is just ahead, come with me!"

"Ah."

Shu Xuan nodded lightly in response.

"Huh? It's not bad that old man Wu brought this little girl back this time. Although she is a little cold, it's better than the person who knows how to act like a baby all day long and deceive people to get her all kinds of things. I Just go to them and tell them that there is another beautiful girl here, so that they don't have to pay attention to that pretentious woman every day."

After Shuxuan followed the old man, the thin monkey muttered to himself for a while, then jumped off the roof and ran directly towards a place with lights on.

...

"Fellow Daoist, sit down first!"

The old man brought Shu Xuan to his room, and asked her to sit down.

"Old man, don't call me fellow daoists there. I'm not used to it. My name is Liu Shuxuan. Just call me by my name."

After hearing what the old man said, Shuxuan sat down and said.

"Okay, then I'll call you Shuxuan from now on! Don't call me an old man. My surname is Wu, and my name is Wu Shi'an. Everyone here calls me Old Man Wu. You can call me that too."

After listening to Shuxuan's words, Wu Shi'an said casually.

"How embarrassing is this! Seeing that you are older than me, why don't I call you Uncle Wu from now on!"

Shuxuan frowned when she heard Wu Shi'an's words. Although she was not very familiar with the old man, it would be too impolite to call him old man Wu like this, so Shuxuan thought for a while and said.

"That's fine. It's just a title. Since you said that, Shuxuan, I'll have the cheek to call you uncle!"

Wu Shi'an said that he flipped through his hands and took out some simple food, put them on the table and said to Shuxuan, "It's getting late, Shuxuan, you should be hungry too, why don't you eat something first, for what you want to know Let's talk about it while eating."

"Uncle Wu, do you usually eat these?"

Shuxuan saw the yellowed rice on the table, a bowl of unrecognizable vegetables, and a dark piece of meat of unknown type, looked at Wu Shi'an in confusion and asked.

"Shuxuan, I'm really sorry! In this situation, I don't have anything here to entertain you, only a little tea and light food, so you can just make do with it!"

Hearing Shuxuan's question, Wu Shi'an rubbed his hands awkwardly and said.

"Uncle Wu, don't get me wrong! I don't mean to dislike it, but I didn't expect you, as a cultivator, to eat so much, uh..."

Seeing Wu Shi'an's reaction, Shuxuan knew that he must have misunderstood her meaning, and quickly explained, but Shuxuan was a little embarrassed when she said later, he brought out his own food to entertain you, although these things are poor It's a bit too much, but it's a bit unreasonable for you to dislike others like this.

"Shuxuan, to be honest, these are the best food I can get, old man."

After listening to Shuxuan's words, Wu Shi'an heaved a long sigh, and said to Shuxuan.

"How could this happen? Uncle Wu, you can be regarded as an immortal cultivator no matter what. Even if you can't get good ingredients, you can still get some simple food. How could it be..."

Hearing Wu Shian's words, Shuxuan couldn't help asking in a louder voice in surprise.

"I think you are not in the mood to eat now, right? If so, let me tell you about the situation here first!"

Seeing Shuxuan's appearance, Wu Shi'an put down his chopsticks and said to Shuxuan.

"Originally, Heicheng was not as prosperous as the other two cities, and the temper of the city owner was a bit weird, but we practitioners with low cultivation levels can still survive, but just a few months ago, the spirit beast outside the city I don't know why, but they seem to be crazy, and they come out to attack the crowd at night, and at the beginning, many villages were directly wiped out by those spirit beasts because they were unprepared."

When Wu Shi'an said this, he didn't know what he thought of, but tears welled up in his eyes.

Seeing Wu Shian like this, Shuxuan was too embarrassed to urge him, and could only wait for him to recover.

"I just remembered some things from the past, and I couldn't hold back for a while, making Shuxuan laugh at you."

After a while, Wu Shi'an came back to his senses and saw Shuxuan looking at him, he hurriedly reached out to wipe away the tears from his eyes, and said to Shuxuan embarrassedly.

"It's okay, Uncle Wu is really temperamental, how could someone make fun of him!"

Shuxuan shook her head with a smile and said.

"Okay, let me tell you next! At that time, the whole villages were killed, so the news didn't come out. In the end, it was because someone made an appointment with people from the neighboring villages to go hunting in the mountains, but they waited for a long time. I didn’t wait for his companion, and felt strange, but after looking at it, I found that his companion’s entire village had been wiped out.”

"As soon as the news spread, it caused quite a stir at the time, and the city sent quite a few people to investigate the matter, but in the end, instead of finding out who was behind the matter, they also found the same people around. Many villages have experienced the same thing."

"In this way, the people who came to investigate these things noticed that something was wrong, but when they were about to go back to report the news, they were unexpectedly attacked by a strange beast. The entire team was almost wiped out. Only the captain went back, and the strange beast's And so the news spread.”

"After the city lord learned about this, he sent guards several times to investigate and eliminate these strange beasts that would attack people. However, these strange beasts did not appear when the guards were dispatched a lot, but they would come out when there were fewer people. Kill the guards directly."

"When the people outside the city got the news, they rushed into the city one after another, but the Heicheng is so big, how can all the people from the surrounding villages squeeze in? In the end, the city lord thought of a way. It is said that since the spirit beasts have mutated and will attack humans, as long as someone can kill enough spirit beasts, they can go to the city to rest for a few days. After all, the strange beasts are raging now, and the guards in the city alone cannot kill them. , Now let everyone kill the strange beasts in exchange for the opportunity to go to the city to rest, this can also be said to be a reward for these people, and it can also give those who can really eliminate harm to the people a chance to rest."

Having said this, Wu Shian stopped, and Shuxuan carefully sorted out the news she had just learned in her mind, and then asked Wu Shian, "Uncle Wu, these strange beasts should be living outside this city, right?" It’s been a young age, why did they suddenly attack humans? Has anyone found out the reason for this?”

"No one knows about this. Although many people are looking for the cause of this incident, no one can find out after a long time of investigation. At this time, everyone was disturbed by the attack of the strange beast, so now everyone I have put my mind on killing the strange beasts, I just hope that I can get enough beast stones as soon as possible, in exchange for a chance to go to the city to rest."

"Then how will your city lords tell who killed the beast? Could it be because of the strange stone that you handed over to the guard when you entered the city?"

Shuxuan looked at Wu Shi'an and asked the question in her heart.

"Well! That kind of stone can only be found in the body of a strange beast, so that the Lord City Master will not be afraid of someone cheating if he does this."

Wu Shian nodded and said.

"But Uncle Wu, this stone is just a dead thing. If someone kills a strange beast and gets the beast stone, and others take advantage of it by surprise, kill him and snatch the beast stone, how can we tell the difference? "

After listening to Wu Shi'an's words, Shuxuan thought for a while and asked again.

"There is no other way to do this. After all, there is no better way to prove it than this."

Wu Shian said helplessly.

"But Uncle Wu, there is one more thing I don't understand, that is, since these alien beasts are so powerful, why don't you unite and resist these alien beasts together? It stands to reason that if you have so many practitioners, if you unite, it is impossible not to The ability to resist!"

Shu Xuan asked strangely.

"It's not that no one has thought of this method, but it's useless at all. This strange beast has a particularly sensitive sense of smell. They usually come out scattered to attack humans, but whenever a large number of people gather together, they will They will be dispatched in groups, and no one knows how many of these things there are, so after a long time, no one dares to gather too many people together."

Wu Shi'an sighed helplessly and said.

"This? Is there no way to deal with these strange beasts?"

Shu Xuan frowned and asked.

"No one can do anything now. We can only unite some people to build some gathering places outside the city, arrange some simple formations to resist the attacks of alien beasts, and then we will go out to kill these alien beasts during the day. I hope If you can get enough beast stones, you can exchange for a chance to enter the city and take a little rest."

Wu Shi'an said helplessly, he didn't know when such a desperate life would end, maybe the day he died, he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore!
"But with so many strange beasts, when did you kill them like this? Don't you think about leaving here and living in another city?"

Shu Xuan was a little puzzled by everyone's behavior.

"Where can I go? Don't there be strange beasts in other cities? Even if there are not, who knows where these strange beasts will be? If you encounter strange beasts on the way to other cities, when the time comes I'm afraid I'll die faster if I'm alone!"

"But so many of you can go together! Why do you go alone?"

Shuxuan felt very strange. Since there are strange beasts sneaking up here, why does it have to be here?Isn't it good to leave here and go to another city?

"Hey! To put it simply, the people who are still here are either because they are old and do not want to leave their hometown, or because their relatives were killed in this strange beast attack. They are all suffocated and want to kill Strange beast, so that you can avenge your relatives! How can you say leave so easily!"

Wu Shian said with a sigh.

"That's right!"

After hearing Wu Shi'an's words, Shuxuan suddenly realized that there is no way for some people not to want to leave their hometown.

"Forget it, I can't control the attack of the alien beasts. I can't let me kill all these alien beasts, right? Who knows how many alien beasts it will have? Or go out and kill them at dawn tomorrow." Strange beast, try to get enough beast stones as soon as possible, so that you can go to the city to find out the news."

Shuxuan thought about Xiaobai who was still waiting for her outside, so she decided not to meddle in her own business.

"Shuxuan, let's stop talking about this, let's eat something while it's still early! We have to go out to watch the night later, there may be strange beasts attacking here at any time, since you want to live here , Naturally, a vigil is required."

"Uncle Wu, I am very grateful to you for bringing you to this gathering place. Where can I eat your food? I brought a lot of food when I went out this time, so I will eat the food I brought this time. Come on! You should keep these things for now!"

Shuxuan looked at the food on the table that she didn't know how to describe, but she still didn't have the courage to put down her chopsticks, so she quickly took out the food in her own space. There is always food ready in the space, and there are quite a few of them, otherwise I really don’t know what to do now, I can’t take out the materials and make it now!People have already told you that time is very tight now, and you are still wasting time here, isn't this promoting hatred?
"Shuxuan, this can't be avoided. Since the appearance of those strange beasts in the current Black City, many foods have become inedible, and the price of food has also risen. You should keep these things for yourself! Give me This old man is wasting his food."

Wu Shi'an was stunned when he saw all kinds of carefully cooked dishes and exquisite snacks brought out by Shuxuan, and then looked at his shabby food, and hurriedly put the meals he took out to his side After a while, she waved her hand at Shu Xuan and said.

"Uncle Wu, look what you're talking about. I call you uncle. You are my elder. What's the matter if you eat me? Besides, you took me from the gate of Heicheng. I brought it here and told me so many things that need to be paid attention to. I just took out a little food, how could it be as serious as you said! And the food is ready for people to eat, what is there? Waste or not! If you really don’t want to eat it, I won’t be able to finish eating so many things, so I have to throw the rest away, and that’s the real waste!”

Shuxuan knew that Wu Shi'an was an upright person, so she no longer tried to persuade him directly. Instead, she directly said that if you don't eat, I'll lose the rest. Shuxuan believed that he would be reluctant, so No need to persuade him to eat it.

"Old man Wu, I heard from Slender Monkey that you kidnapped a cute little girl outside, why did you hide her when you came back, you are not doing justice..."

Just as Shuxuan finished speaking, before Wu Shi'an could speak, he suddenly heard a man's voice from outside.
