Fantasy: Immortality starts with absorbing demons

The entry and exit registration of these people will be handled by dedicated personnel from the outer disciples.

In just a short while, three bullock carts pulling a large iron cage came from afar.

The iron cage was covered with a thick tarpaulin.

The black cloth was caked with white snow sludge, looking like the deadly poisonous powder on the black datura flower.

What's inside is obviously the so-called live goods.

The outer disciples stepped forward and opened the tarp, revealing the men, women, and children inside.

They looked around the cage, seeming to be checking something. After checking, they quickly led the convoy, opened the door and headed for the depths of the black market.

When passing the gate of the black market, everyone respectfully said "Master Han" to Han Yi, who was standing in front of the door of the disciple's house on duty, and continued walking inside.

Han Yi looked back at the house behind him.

He didn't know if it was because of the white snow outside the house, but he only felt that the house was dark and there was no trace of light.

The cold sun shines high in the sky in winter, but the temperature outside seems to be higher than inside.

There was clearly a copper basin burning charcoal in the house, but it made people feel a little inexplicably cold.

Compassionately, like a knife scraping bones.

Han Yi remained motionless and kept looking into the room. The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong...

With the strength of his Tongmai Yijin martial arts master, although he is not completely invulnerable to cold and heat, it is not far off.

But at this time, he felt some inexplicable chills in his body, and a strong uncomfortable feeling emerged from his body, which was a strange cold feeling.

This feeling was exactly the same as when he was in Peach Blossom Village and was targeted by the peach tree demon before he could connect to his pulse.

I don’t know whether it was aroused memories of panic, or a physical omen after a similar incident had occurred.

Han Yi's muscles all over his body contracted, and he quickly left the disciple's house on duty, sat down in the guard box, and started his day's work.

--------------------------------------------------

At sunset, the twilight was as dark as blood, and Han Yi was about to get off work after a busy day.

"Master Han, you should go and rest first. I'll be watching over here, Xiaoba, and everything will be fine."

Xiaoba seemed to notice Han Yi's tiredness and stepped forward diligently.

"Just wait a little longer..."

Han Yi shook his head and did not agree. He was going to wait for Cai Yu to see what was going on with him.

.........

Boom, boom, boom...

The alarm clock rang, but Cai Yu still didn't show up.

"Could it be that something really happened..."

Han Yi frowned, feeling a bad premonition in his heart, as if a needle was pricking him.

"Cai, Master Cai!"

At this moment, Xiaoba standing next to him suddenly spoke and saluted in one direction.

Han Yi heard this and looked around. A yellow-gray carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the black market, and a familiar figure got out of the carriage.

"Brother Cai!"

Han Yi waved to him and shouted loudly.

Perhaps because of the distance, Cai Yu lowered his head and seemed not to hear at all.

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, walked closer, and shouted with a louder voice: "Brother Cai!"

Only then did Cai Yu hear the sound. He raised his head somewhat mechanically. The pupils in his eyes were slightly convex and filled with bloodshot eyes, like twisted red earthworms squirming in the whites of his eyes, which made people feel unhappy.

The line of sight finally focused on Han Yi.

"It's Brother Han..."

Cai Yu responded in a low voice.

'His energy level seems to be even worse than yesterday...'

Han Yi thought to himself, but no matter what, he finally came to take over on time.

"Brother Cai, was there something urgent last night? Why did you leave in a hurry without even saying hello? Could it be that the person in your family was afraid of missing you at home alone at night?"

Han Yi asked jokingly, keeping his body on alert intentionally or unintentionally, carefully observing Cai Yu's every move.

"I, I... I lost something. I couldn't find it. I went home last night and looked for it..." As he spoke, Cai Yu looked around, looking back and forth. crowd.

"Then...Brother Cai, did you find what you lost today?"

Han Yi thought for a while and asked tentatively.

"..."

Silence, the response to Han Yi was Cai Yu's silence. He lowered his head and said nothing.

After a while, he said in a daze: "No, no..."

"Brother Cai doesn't seem to be in good spirits. Why don't you take a rest first?" Han Yi suggested, "Anyway, there's nothing much to do all night. Why don't I take care of you for the night today, and you can pay me back for another day next time?" ”

"No, no..." Cai Yu murmured: "I'm about to find the lost thing. When I find it, I can have a good rest..."

His voice was hoarse.

"Brother Cai, you take good care of me on weekdays. I don't know what you lost. I have nothing to do at night, so I can help you look for it."

Han Yi took a step further and asked thoughtfully.

Cai Yu's pupils were wide open, showing a thoughtful look, and hissed: "What... what is it?"

Suddenly, he quickly turned his head and rushed towards the guard house, as if he had discovered something.

Han Yi looked at his anxious expression, his absent-minded look, and his figure with his head lowered and moving quickly, and his heart was filled with a strange and uncomfortable feeling.

--------------------------------------------------

After returning home, Han Yi took a bath and changed clothes, and then briefly cooked the monster meat bought from the black market. After eating, he felt much more relaxed.

Instead of going to bed in a hurry, he recalled the events of the day.

"What happened to Cai Yu..."

He sat on a chair and propped his chin with his right hand, puzzled.

No matter which way you look at it, something must have happened to Cai Yu, either something big happened at home, or something happened to him.

However, this evening, when Han Yi and Cai Yu met, no matter how Han Yi looked at it, except that Cai Yu felt that Cai Yu was not having a good mental rest, he did not see any problems in other aspects.

"Forget it......"

Han Yi decided not to think too much about the matter. What happened to Cai Yu had little to do with him. He just had to do his part, stay on guard, and report anything to the sect directly, and that would be it... ..

Immediately, he stood up and prepared to process the deer meat he bought from the black market butcher shop in the afternoon.

When he left the black market in the afternoon, he went to the meat shop again. This time, he was cruel and bought a large piece of deer meat.

But sure enough, when he bought it, not only were several onlookers a little dissatisfied, but even the butcher shop owner was a little confused about his move.

After all, it stands to reason that based on the consumption of a blood refining warrior, the ten kilograms of deer meat bought yesterday would be enough to last a week, and Han Yi...

Fortunately, Han Yi still found an excuse, saying that he bought it for relatives and friends, and put it off for the time being.

"But this is not a solution...we still have to find a stable channel..."

Han Yi quickly cleaned, blanched, cooked, and preserved the remaining half of the deer meat that he had eaten tonight. Thoughts were still running through his mind.

Reasons like this to deceive people will eventually be seen.

And if you use the secret skill of Yueyin to hide your identity and go to the black market to buy it, you won't be able to buy better quality meat.

This time, Han Yi was in a dilemma.

"That's all, just be patient for now, there will always be bread and milk..."

In the darkness, Han Yi sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes flashing from time to time.

--------------------------------------------------

Time is like running water, flowing endlessly, very quickly, and several days pass quickly.

Han Yi has also finished his black market duty this week, and the next week will be his day off.

It's strange to say that since Cai Yu showed abnormality last time, he returned to normal in the next few days, lazily touching fish and saying hello to Han Yi as usual.

It seems that Cai Yu behaved in various strange ways a few days ago because of something that caused him to be in a bad state.

Han Yi didn't ask him, and he didn't tell him either.

In this way, a week passed, and the entire black market was in a calm calm, as if Han Yi's abnormal feelings in the past few days were just his illusion.

.......

At night, the moon is at its peak.

"Is this Yuhe Town, Yingjiabao?"

Under the moonlight, a small silver-ribbon-like river meanders down from the cliff in troubled times. Despite the cold spring, the ice and snow have already melted away.

As for Han Yi, following the location mentioned by Huang Ze, he compared the map in his hand again and again.

According to Huang Ze's introduction, outside Anyan City, on every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, a large number of individual warriors organize gatherings here in Yingjiabao... With a wooden certificate, you can take a wooden bed from the river. , enter it.

And here, there are a large number of individual warriors who sell things that cannot be bought in the city. There are also several forces that have been excluded by the four major forces in Anyan City who have set up strongholds here to sell resources!

At this time, Han Yi had naturally changed into night clothes and a cloak, making it impossible to see his figure and face clearly.

Under the cloak, he used the secret skill Yueyin to transform himself into a tall and thin blood-refining warrior.

As for the black iron sword and other conspicuous weapons, he did not bring them with him.

Anyway, most of his current strength lies in the strength in his body, and it doesn't matter whether he has it or not.

When he arrived at the Lesser River, he saw several awning boats waiting on the shore.

"Who is coming?"

On the boat, an old man holding an oar asked loudly.

"People who go to Yingjiabao."

Han Yi responded.

"Do you have the token certificate?"

"Get it!"

Han Yi casually threw the green wooden sign over.

This is the access voucher Huang Ze gave him. It is a green wooden sign with the word 'ying' engraved on the front and the word 'fang' on the back.

The old man took the green wooden sign, looked at it for a few times, returned it respectfully, and let Han Yi get on the boat.

There were already a few people on the boat. They were all dressed in black. They were standing in the corners, keeping distance from each other. They said nothing to each other and the atmosphere was silent.

‘Is Elder Huang Ze reliable or not? Didn’t they say that this is just a market for independent warriors to exchange materials and purchase resources? Why is it so mysterious...’

After Han Yi got on the boat and stood still, he found a corner and complained in his heart.

It was clearly the market that Huang Ze mentioned, but after arriving, the people coming and going were more cautious than each other, hiding in the dark and alert.

It was just like soldiers opening up new territories, and there were dangers ahead!

In contrast, in Anyan City, the black market under the management of the Chiyan Sect was full of people shouting and bustling...

Han Yi only felt that the black market under the jurisdiction of the Chiyan Sect should be renamed as a market, and this place... should be called a black market!

But even though he complained, Han Yi still understood where these people's vigilance came from.

There is no other reason. Those who come here to attend the gathering are all casual martial artists, without any sect or school, or some desperate criminals, mountain bandits and the like.

After all, whether it is a robber who burns, kills, rapes and plunders, or a strong man on the wanted list, they will have the need to increase their strength and purchase resources.

And in the city, there are wanted portraits on the wall, so it is not easy for them to sneak in. Even if they can get in, the things they buy and sell will be controlled.

Therefore, who knows whether the people who come here to attend the gathering are human or ghost. In addition, most casual martial artists are born to be careful and cautious, which leads to a good market being turned into a "black market" transaction.

'Maybe, there are some big bandits on this small boat...'

Thinking of this, Han Yi pretended to be careless and quickly scanned the surroundings.

Fortunately, they were all low-level martial artists such as refining bones and refining blood.

He was relieved at once.

After waiting for another stick of incense, the old man set sail with the oars. The black-sailed boat left with a circle of ripples under the moonlight.

The location of Yingjiabao has a very peculiar terrain.

The Yu River flows down from the mountain and downstream, but it suddenly turns here and flows northward into the Nanhuze, thus forming a small "concave"-shaped plain basin.

And Yingjiabao was built in this basin.

In front is the official road, and behind is a river like a city wall. It can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain is excellent.

From the main road, entering the front of Yuhe Town, there are some streets, houses and shops, which are regarded as the window for Yingjiabao to communicate with the outside world.

And the real core area is all near the river.

When Han Yi visited Huang Ze, he heard him talk about these things in general.
