Chapter 315: Shushan Disciples, Upright
Meng Fan came to the Demon Slaying Hall, took a random task, and went down the mountain.
As a Shushan deacon, he needed to register to go down the mountain. Meng Fan was too lazy to find any excuses, so he went to the Demon Slaying Hall to take a task and went down the mountain directly.
The task Meng Fan took was to kill demons.
There was a demon beast in Qingyue Forest, which often hurt people.
After the people around reported this problem, they were finally assigned to the Demon Slaying Hall of Shushan Sword Sect.
The task was just posted today, and Meng Fan happened to encounter it.
The reward for this task was not much, just one hundred spirit stones. The reason why Meng Fan took this task was because Qingyue Forest was not far from Huoyun Town.
On the way!
Except for Shu Changsheng and Senior Brother Luo from Jian Ge, Meng Fan did not tell anyone that he was going down the mountain, including Senior Brother Jin.
In fact, Meng Fan went down the mountain several times, and this was the first time he went alone.
He bought a carriage and drove alone to the direction of Qingyue Forest.
Qingyue Forest is in the same direction as Huoyun Town.
Since Meng Fan accepted this mission, he was ready to deal with the monster on the way.
According to intelligence information, it was a tiger monster, which was only comparable to the strength of a human cultivator in the Tianyuan realm, so the mission reward was only 100 spirit stones.
This kind of small monster was simply a matter of catching for Meng Fan, not worth mentioning.
The carriage ran all the way, and after running for an hour, Meng Fan suddenly realized that he was going down the mountain alone this time, so why did he need a carriage?
It would slow down the speed!
Every time he went down the mountain, he bought a carriage, which made Meng Fan a habit.
After reacting, he cut off the reins dragging the carriage with a sword energy and directly abandoned the carriage.
Then he rode the horse directly and rushed towards Qingyue Forest at a faster speed.
As night fell, Meng Fan passed by a Longyan town and rested here for a night.
He didn't need to rest, but the horse needed to rest, otherwise it would run to death.
For three consecutive days, Meng Fan was on the road, and at night he found an inn to rest.
On the fourth day, he settled in Xueguang Town.
This place is close to Huoyun Mountain Range, and not far from Huoyun Town and Qingyue Forest.
In fact, this place is already the territory of Fengyun Demon Cult!
In Xueguang Town, Meng Fan sold his horse directly.
Since he was near Huoyun Town, his speed was faster than the horse!
Meng Fan planned to go to Qingyue Forest first tomorrow to deal with the monster, complete the task, and then wholeheartedly inquire about the news of his master.
In the evening, Meng Fan had a meal in the lobby of an inn.
He ordered two catties of braised beef, two side dishes, and two catties of roasted knives.
I have to say that the food and wine outside are much better than the canteen of Shushan Sword Sect.
Although Shushan Sword Sect is one of the three major sword sects in the Northern Territory, the food feels the same as Meng Fan’s school in his previous life, with clear soup and no taste, and there is not even a bit of oil in the stomach.
Of course, people with a little status would not eat the big pot meal in Shushan Canteen.
Like Liu Yanping's family, there is no shortage of cooks and servants.
But Elder Lin is full and the whole family is not hungry, so he doesn't care about these things at all. In Jiange, besides him, there are Senior Brother Luo and Meng Fan.
Besides, Elder Lin has been fasting for a long time and has no appetite!
In the lobby of the inn, Meng Fan listened to the conversation of everyone while drinking and eating.
With his hearing, he can hear clearly even the chef in the back kitchen of the inn.
Although he knew that these people could not know the news related to the master, Meng Fan still planned to collect this information.
"Have you heard that the concubine of Mr. Lu died last night?"
"She died, how did she die?"
"I heard that she had an affair and was beaten to death by Mr. Lu."
"No, your news is out of date. The concubine was not beaten to death by Mr. Lu, but by Mr. Lu's wife."
"That's all nonsense. The latest news I got is that Mr. Lu's whole family was killed, and no one survived."
"The impact of this incident is too bad, so the government did not reveal the truth."
"The whole family died? How is this possible? Who is so cruel?"
"You don't believe it? If you don't believe it, go and see. Mr. Lu's mansion has been sealed and no one is allowed to approach."
…………
……
In the inn, since someone started this, almost everyone is talking about Mr. Lu's family at this moment.
After all, this kind of family annihilation tragedy is extremely rare, so it is normal to be so popular!
But listening to their talk, Meng Fan frowned slightly.
He subconsciously felt that this matter was not as simple as an ordinary revenge killing.
His intuition told him that it should be related to demons. Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a kind of professional quality.
However, Meng Fan came to inquire about the news of Mr. Lin, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he was too lazy to go to Mr. Lu's mansion.
Although it is the duty of Shushan disciples to subdue demons, Meng Fan is not the kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder who actively looks for demons everywhere to subdue them.
If he happened to meet them, he would definitely not hold back, and he would not ignore them when he saw demons harming people.
But now that Mr. Lu's family is dead, he can't go to investigate one by one, that is the business of the government.
But sometimes, the more you don't bother to take care of things, the more likely they will hit you.
In the previous life, this situation seemed to be called a law, Meng Fan didn't remember.
That night, Meng Fan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the inn practicing, felt a very obvious demonic aura.
Most importantly, he also felt a bloody smell.
This proves that demons are harming people!
As a Shushan disciple, it is difficult for Meng Fan to remain indifferent when encountering such a situation where demons are harming people.
He probed with his spiritual sense to see what demons are harming people.
If it is within his ability, and it is a demon below the level of the Inducing God, he will definitely take action to subdue the demons and save lives.
But if it is a demon that has reached the level of the Inducing God, then Meng Fan will be powerless. It is impossible for him to sacrifice his life to save people. He is not that great!
Meng Fan's spiritual sense detected the existence of demons in the northeast of the town.
Lu Mansion!
A closer look revealed that it was the mansion of Mr. Lu that the people in the inn talked about during the day.
Meng Fan's intuition was not wrong. Mr. Lu's family was indeed killed by demons.
The most outrageous thing is that this demon had killed Mr. Lu's family last night, and appeared in Mr. Lu's house again tonight.
This is like catching a sheep and plucking its wool. After plucking all the wool, do you still want to skin it?
Mr. Lu's family has died. The bloody smell Meng Fan felt was from the officers and soldiers who were ordered to patrol the Lu Mansion.
Three of the eight officers and soldiers in this team have been killed, and the other five are squatting at the gate and shivering.
It's not that they don't know how to escape, but because they found that the gate can't be opened at all. The wooden gate suddenly became harder than a stone wall!
