Chapter 20 The Demon Is so Abominable
Tao Yansheng brought Huang Feng and Bai Yang back to Linping County. It was already the scheduled departure time, and the caravan was very anxious.
Seeing them, the manager hurried over: "Second Master, where have you been? I sent people to Yanchun Tower to look for you several times, but I couldn't find you."
Tao Yansheng interrupted him: "Ahem, why are you looking for me there? Am I the kind of person who goes to that kind of place? I went for a ride early in the morning!"
The manager of the caravan was very confused: "Didn't you spend the night there last night?"
Bai Yang asked curiously: "Brother, what is Yanchun Tower?"
Huang Feng explained: "It is a place for sharpening weapons, mainly guns and sticks, supplemented by whips, and needles are a minority. You are a sword cultivator, and you are still young, so it is not suitable for such a place."
"Oh." Bai Yang nodded, remembered it in his heart, and then looked at Tao Yansheng, looking left and right.
Tao Yansheng was just sighing at Huang Feng's unique understanding, when he was suddenly looked up and down by Bai Yang. He thought he was being stared at by the evil spirit again, and asked nervously: "What...what happened?"
Bai Yang said seriously: "You don't have a gun or a stick on your body, and you don't have a whip on your waist, so you must be practicing acupuncture. Where did you hide your needles?"
"I...who said I practiced acupuncture!" If it weren't on the street, Tao Yansheng would have wanted to show his weapon to Bai Yang, the little brat.
"Second Young Master, who are these two?" The steward asked Tao Yansheng.
Tao Yansheng proudly introduced: "Oh, they are two immortals who saved my life. It happened that they were going to Shulu, so I invited them to go with me. With them, we can ensure a safe journey."
"Life-saving grace?" The steward was a little suspicious. The Tao family caravan hired monks, and these two people who suddenly appeared were too young.
Tao Yansheng urged, "It's a long story. Aren't we going to set off? Let's talk on the way. By the way, prepare the carriage, wine and meat. Please get in the carriage and rest. Come on."
"Yes."
After all, Tao Yansheng was the second son of the Tao family. The steward didn't want to question the people he invited. He answered and quickly sent someone to make arrangements.
Everything was ready. Tao Yansheng invited Huang Feng and Bai Yang to the carriage. He didn't go in himself. He rode a horse beside the carriage and boasted about his experience in the morning to the guys of the Tao family caravan.
When they heard that the female ghost left him and pounced on Huang Feng, and then was killed by the sword-wielding boy, the guys were amazed.
The three monks who were hired to accompany them couldn't help but look at the carriage.
In the carriage, Huang Feng was studying the advanced skills of "Aerial Photography". Bai Yang sat by the window, looked out in the wild for a while, then closed the curtain and practiced quietly.
The carriage ran for a day and arrived at the post station at night. The steward of the Tao family had been doing business on this official road for many years and was very accurate in calculating time. That was why he was very anxious when he could not find Tao Yansheng when he set out.
If they were delayed, they would camp in the wilderness in the middle of the night. Even if they hired monks, they would inevitably feel uneasy.
After all, the people in the caravan knew that it was okay to encounter small demons and ghosts, but if they encountered evil ghosts and big demons that they could not deal with, these monks would definitely leave them and run away first.
At dinner in the evening, the steward of the Tao family took the initiative to thank Huang Feng and the others: "Two immortals, I have heard about what happened during the day. Although I am a small steward, I have been in the Tao family for many years and can be said to have watched the second young master grow up.
Such a life-saving grace, if my master knew, he would definitely be grateful. If the two immortals have any needs, just ask. As long as the Tao family can do it, I believe the master will not refuse."
Being able to make such a promise on behalf of the master of the Tao family, it can be seen that this steward has a high status in the Tao family.
Tao Yansheng also echoed: "Absolutely, if my father knew, he would definitely prepare a generous gift to thank him!"
Huang Feng thought for a long time, but he didn't think that the Tao family had anything he wanted, but it was always good to keep a favor: "If there is a need in the future, I will ask for it."
The steward was a little surprised. In his opinion, young cultivators like Huang Feng should be more arrogant. He thought that the other party would wave his hand and say "just a little ghost, a little help" and then let it go.
The steward couldn't help but look at the second son and sighed in his heart.
When Tao Yansheng was born, the Tao family asked someone to help him check his spiritual roots, but the result was naturally disappointing. Otherwise, they could take this opportunity to let him get closer to Huang Feng and Bai Yang.
It's a pity that mortals and cultivators have different paths after all. Even if they can make friends now, Huang Feng and Bai Yang may not change much after a hundred years, and Tao Yansheng is already a handful of yellow earth. How much incense can be left?
Tao Yansheng seemed very simple: "That's right, you're welcome."
The steward saw it and shook his head, thinking that the second young master still needed to be polished. It was hard to say whether he would become a talent or a needle.
After saying hello, he stopped bothering.
Tao Yansheng took out the map, looked at it and introduced it to Huang Feng with great interest: "Look, we can reach Hefeng County tomorrow. I heard that there is a lake in the south of Hefeng County with beautiful scenery. It is a good place for talented men and beautiful women to recite poems and write couplets. Why don't we go and see it together tomorrow?"
After spending a day together, Tao Yansheng no longer called him an immortal. He and Huang Feng were like brothers and were very familiar with each other.
Huang Feng originally used the "delay" tactic along the way to ensure that he and Li Motang, who was rushing back to Zhaoyang, would stagger. It was a good idea to go to the lake!
"Okay, let's go and see." Huang Feng nodded.
"Okay!" Seeing that he agreed, Tao Yansheng was very happy. He was worried that he was the only one who wanted to go, but the manager would not let him. Now that Huang Feng asked, the manager could not stop him.
…
In Hefeng County, Li Motang and Xiao Nuan had just arrived outside the county when they saw a group of scholars running back in panic, shouting "someone is dead" and "a monster is killing people".
"Miss?" Xiao Nuan waited for Li Motang's instructions.
"Stop and ask."
"Yeah." When Xiao Nuan heard what she said, she immediately stopped a scholar.
The book she grabbed almost stumbled to the ground, and her tone was panicked: "Girl, why are you stopping me?"
Xiao Nuan asked: "What's going on with the monsters you said were killing people? They've all run back to the county. What are you still afraid of? Tell me!"
Looking up from the book, I found that I had indeed run back to Hefeng County. I lost strength in an instant and was about to fall to the ground.
"Alas!" Although Xiao Nuan was able to hold on, she was too lazy to help the scholar and let him collapse to the ground. "You are so timid, please speak quickly."
The scholar tried hard to take several breaths before he regained his breath and said, "You two girls don't know something. Today, a group of us went to the lake to enjoy the scenery and write poems. Just after noon, a man and a woman suddenly appeared by the lake and wanted to play with us.
We readily agreed, but who knew that the other party was a demon, and when the fun started, he started killing people, especially those who were not married. Several of my classmates died by the lake.
Girls, are you here to enjoy the lake? The people from the Monster Collection Department should be here tomorrow, but you must not go there. "
After the scholar finished speaking, he tried his best to get up from the ground and said with a grimace, "I still have to explain to the relatives of those classmates and friends, so I need to take a step first."
"Miss?" Xiaonuan looked at Li Motang.
"Go and have a look."
…
At the same time, news was also received from the inn.
When Huang Feng heard about this, he was really angry: "It's okay for these two monsters to be in pairs, but they actually specialize in killing single dogs?
It's so abominable that I must kill him! "
