I rely on length to cultivate immortality

Song Wan, the city lord, brought a map of the surrounding area of ​​Baiyun City.

He marked the location of each time the pig demon attacked the people on it, and said:

"We have searched every location on it within a radius of dozens of miles, but we have not found the pig demon's lair."

"So there are no clues now?" Pang Yuanfu asked.

I thought I was just going to get rid of a demon, but after all this time, I didn't even know where the demon was.

Song Wan was a little embarrassed. He knew that he had brought so many victims and talked a lot, but there was almost no useful information.

He could only smile bitterly and said, "I'm sorry to bother you immortals."

Li Xiuchang saw this and gave him a way out, saying, "Of course there are clues. You can get very important clues from the map that City Lord Song brought."

"Oh?" Even Song Wan himself showed curiosity and wanted to hear what Li Xiuchang could say.

Li Xiuchang pointed at the map and said, "First of all, the pig demon always appears around Baiyun City. It can be seen that it is active around Baiyun City.

"Secondly, as mentioned just now, this pig demon is cautious and cautious. The location he chooses to launch an attack must be far away from his nest. The fact that City Lord Song did not find anything around these locations after searching around them also confirms this point.

"So if we want to find the pig demon's lair, we must first rule out the locations where it launches attacks."

Pang Yuanfu, Song Wan and others looked at each other and felt that what Li Xiuchang said seemed to make sense, but it seemed that he said nothing.

"Then what?" Several people asked.

Li Xiuchang walked to the map and drew a circle around Baiyun City with his finger, just covering all the crime locations of the pig demon.

"You can draw a circle with Baiyun City as the center and define a search range. All crime locations and their surrounding locations can be excluded within this range. The remaining blank locations are where we want to search."

Everyone looked at the map. According to Li Xiuchang's method, the area they had to search was indeed much smaller and more targeted.

"Good method!" Pang Yuanfu praised.

Song Wan's first reaction was that this method was good and reasonable, but he always felt that something was wrong.

He thought about it carefully and suddenly understood what was wrong.

He had already asked his men to search all the places where the pig monster committed crimes and the surrounding areas, which was equivalent to excluding these places.

Now Li Xiuchang asked them to search the places other than the crime scene.

Isn't this equivalent to drawing a circle and asking them to search the whole circle!

He almost got caught in it... Song Wan muttered in his heart, but he didn't say it after all.

Because he didn't have a better way, it seemed that this was the only way.

At this time, among the two casual cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion, the third-level Qi training priest suddenly said:

"I once encountered the pig monster and fought with it for a few moves. This beast has thick skin and flesh, great strength, and is very agile. I am not a match for it and can only watch it run away.

"I encountered it here. I wonder if this information is useful? "

After saying that, he pointed out the location where he encountered the pig monster.

"It's useful, very useful!" Li Xiuchang said, "The place where the pig monster committed the crime must have been carefully selected by it, so there is no clue. But it's different when you encounter it. It is very likely that the pig monster's nest is in that area. Let's start searching from this area. "

The location where the casual cultivator encountered the pig monster happened to be the largest completely blank area on the map, where the pig monster had never committed a crime.

The workload for searching is not small.

However, if we continue to discuss here, we can't discuss it in detail, so Li Xiuchang immediately urged everyone to set off as soon as possible.

...

The location that Li Xiuchang and his team were going to search was a forest.

Everyone divided the work and cooperated. City Lord Song Wan and two casual cultivators led people to search the foot of the mountain, and Li Xiuchang and his team searched the mountain.

"The three of us will act separately. Once we find the monster's nest, we will use the fire bomb talisman to shoot the sky as a signal. "

After the three of them made an agreement, Pang Yuanfu and Chi Hui searched in one direction each, leaving Li Xiuchang alone.

The place where he stood was the place where the city lord's mansion's casual cultivator encountered the pig demon.

Li Xiuchang took out a gourd and pinched a spell on the gourd.

Then he bit open the lid of the gourd and poured out a black shadow.

The shadow squirmed and turned into a giant dog more than two meters long. As soon as it landed, it spread its legs to escape.

Li Xiuchang was prepared. He pulled back the hand that pinched the spell, as if an invisible silk thread pulled the dog demon's soul, and let its four claws run like flying, but it could only flutter on the spot and could not move forward.

Seeing that it couldn't escape, the dog soul turned around and opened its mouth wide to pounce on Li Xiuchang.

Li Xiuchang stood still, but a faint light appeared on the surface of his body.

This was the protective light that came with the second-level cultivation of the "Vajra Dharma Sutra".

The dog demon bit Li Xiuchang's arm, but only heard a sizzling sound, as if red-hot iron hit water, emitting bursts of white smoke.

The dog demon whimpered and quickly let go and retreated.

There was not even a tooth mark left on Li Xiuchang's arm, but the dog demon's huge kiss was blurred and continued to emit white smoke.

The "Vajra Dharma Sutra" is a Buddhist practice, and the protective light cultivated has a natural restraining effect on evil spirits.

In addition, Li Xiuchang's physical training level was higher than that of the dog demon. Even if he stood still and let the dog demon bite him, the dog demon would be melted by the protective treasure light first.

The dog demon saw that he could not run away and could not fight, so he immediately lay down on all fours, wagging his tail wildly, begging for mercy from Li Xiuchang.

Li Xiuchang could have directly used the means of the soul control master to forcibly control the dog soul.

But Senior Brother Motu told him that it was best to subdue the ghost before using the soul control means, so that the ghost would be more loyal, easier to drive, work harder, and not easy to betray.

How to subdue?

It's nothing more than showing kindness or showing power.

Or both at the same time, hitting the dog with a stick and then giving a sweet date.

"Good dog!" Seeing the dog soul's flattering look, Li Xiuchang smiled and touched the dog's head.

Unexpectedly, the dog soul suddenly stopped wagging its tail after hearing the sound, as if it had suffered a great humiliation, and it pounced on Li Xiuchang again.

After a few breaths...

Li Xiuchang beat up the dog soul, and the dog soul finally calmed down and lay on the ground trembling.

Li Xiuchang thought that the intelligence of a first-level dog demon was not low, and it was very likely to understand human language.

So he just called "good dog" and angered the dog soul?

It doesn't think it is a dog?

"Little wolf?" Li Xiuchang called tentatively.

The dog soul heard it and rubbed its head against Li Xiuchang's hand affectionately.

"Is it really a wolf soul, not a dog soul?" Li Xiuchang was a little suspicious.

He used the common language for summoning dogs: "Suck..."

The dog soul immediately came close to Li Xiuchang's trouser leg, and when he looked at its tail again, it was almost shaking to the sky.

"It seems that it was fooled by the stall owner and really thought it was a wolf."
