Chapter 730 Passionate Youth
In the early morning sunshine, the young coachman tightened the reins and vividly recounted his experiences of encountering the puppeteer several times before.
Although the mysterious adult in the carriage behind him was silent as usual, completely ignoring him and seemed to have fallen asleep.
But the young coachman just lowered his voice and chattered to himself.
He was amazed at the power of the mysterious puppeteer. The puppet danced lightly in the encirclement of the two nightmare ghosts, and the attacks of the nightmare ghosts could not touch her at all. However, the puppet's attack could hit the weaknesses of the nightmare ghosts with every blow.
The driver was so excited to see the monsters being killed so smoothly that he couldn't help but express his admiration and respect.
Even though the big man behind him didn't respond at all, the young man who was used to talking to himself during the long journey chattered without any care.
At the end, he even talked about his parents, family, and how he inherited this shabby carriage from his unlucky dead father.
Time passed quickly in the driver's chatter.
At dusk, they arrived at a town and stayed there temporarily.
Li Muyang rarely went offline that day, but sat quietly in the carriage and listened to the young man's self-talk outside.
Although he did not reply, he did not miss what the driver said.
The young driver's chatter was full of the struggles of the mortals in this world.
Forced to live in a world full of evil and terrifying darkness, no one can tell which will come first, the accident or tomorrow.
The stories told by mortals living in the lower world are much more vivid than those in the Hongshan Academy.
Through the stories told by the driver, Li Muyang has a better understanding of the social status of this world, and even knows some turmoil that occurred in this country a few years ago.
Although the world in the Ancient Resentment Well has a loose national organization, there are still countries and government offices.
However, the national system here is more like the Western Middle Ages on Earth in the previous life.
One by one, the princes and nobles inherit the title from generation to generation and guard their respective fiefdoms. And these fiefdoms, big and small, gathered together and pledged allegiance to the king.
The existence of evil monsters forced the mortals of Guyuanjing to protect themselves in groups, making it difficult for a well-organized and powerful superpower to emerge.
Li Muyang and his team were now heading to the neighboring Guo State.
After staying overnight in the town at the border checkpoint, the next morning, the driver took Li Muyang to pay the money and get the pass to leave the border. The leaky carriage was slowly on the road and drove out of the border in the queue of other carriages leaving the border.
Guo State, it is said that the people of this country are vicious and will eat the flesh of their enemies raw and roast them over fire.
After driving out of the checkpoint, the driver Ding Liang was a little nervous and not as jumpy as before.
Even the daily chattering to himself was lowered.
For fear that a fierce Guo person would jump out of the roadside and eat him in one bite.
Li Muyang was sitting in the carriage, looking at the path in the wilderness, and the more he looked, the more familiar it looked.
This Guo State was the place he and the Glazed Fairy Chu Qingxue had set foot on before.
At that time, they were looking for the demonized and crazy General Zhong here, met many ancient evil gods, and initially discovered the sinister truth in the Ancient Resentment Well.
All those exploration experiences at the time have now become a smooth road for Li Muyang, allowing him to walk more smoothly in this dark and dangerous world.
After another two days of travel, Li Muyang and his team arrived at their destination.
This is a city with a fairly large area and prosperous streets.
The system map shows that there are six nightmare ghosts here.
"It seems that the more prosperous and populous the place, the more nightmare ghosts there are."
Li Muyang roughly figured out the appearance patterns of these nightmare ghosts. He and the coachman found an inn to stay in, and then Li Muyang observed the movements of the nightmare ghosts in the city.
The six nightmare ghosts were red dots on the map, wandering around the city without noticing.
Perhaps because the city was too big and there were too many people going in and out every day, the nightmare ghosts did not notice that a puppeteer had come to the city.
There were no rumors of evil spirits harming people on the streets.
It seemed that the six nightmare ghosts were hiding perfectly and did not cause large-scale panic in the city.
However, after the driver Ding Liang went downstairs to finish his meal, he ran back happily and shared the new information he had found with Li Muyang.
"Sir, it seems that there are really evil spirits in this city!"
Ding Liang couldn't wait to share the information he had found.
There were several disappearances in the city not long ago, and some people speculated that it was the evil spirits that were causing trouble.
But in this chaotic world, there are also many human traffickers.
This time, the missing people were either children or women, and no corpses were found left by the evil spirits after eating people.
Therefore, there was no great panic in the city. Only the families of the victims cried and looked for people, and a small number of people in the streets speculated whether the evil spirits had entered the city.
Ding Liang knew exactly where the victims lived.
He was eager to lead Li Muyang, and even held an iron sword that he got from nowhere, saying that he would protect Li Muyang.
Seeing this young man who was full of passion and hatred for evil spirits, Li Muyang was speechless.
"... You are thoughtful, but I have found the whereabouts of those evil spirits, so you don't need to lead the way."
"Just stay in the house and don't run around."
As he said that, Li Muyang glanced at the broken iron sword in Ding Liang's hand and said, "Did you buy it?"
Ding Liang showed it like a treasure, nodding his head repeatedly: "Yes, I bought it from the blacksmith shop outside, and spent two cents of silver. It is said that it is mixed with fine steel, and it can cut hair with a blow. It is very sharp!"
Li Muyang shook his head: "You don't even know how to hold a sword, and you still want to help me protect the law?"
This guy...
Li Muyang threw a booklet directly over and said: "Practice according to it and see if you can succeed."
It is impossible to teach this kid the Nether Demonic Scripture, but he can let him try the basic introductory exercises of the Demon Refining Sect.
Li Muyang is very curious. The mortals in this world are two-sided. They are living beings during the day and evil spirits at night.
Such a special and strange existence, can they practice the exercises of the human world?
It's just right to use the boy in front of him as an experiment. If it works, this boy is full of enthusiasm and can do something good for the people.
Throwing the booklet, Li Muyang went out directly, and the boy's excited and ecstatic cheers came from behind.
Soon, night fell on the city.
Li Muyang walked in the night and found a hideous nightmare ghost in the city.
The monster was squatting in the yard of the brothel, gnawing on a white corpse of a woman.
The corpse eaten by the monster did not turn into an evil creature and stood up, but remained in the state of a human corpse.
