MTL - Demon Slayer Starts From the Proficiency Panel-Chapter 102 [102] Fox Hill Village, Mang Zong Cave
Chapter 102 [102] Fox Hill Village, Mang Zong Cave
The terrain of Donghai Prefecture is very special. The surrounding area is surrounded by the sea, with many beaches and wetlands, and the center of the prefecture is the gathering of mountains and clouds.
forms peaks and peaks into veins, one after another, forming a piece.
All earth immortals inhabit the mountains in order not to be involved in the world, which is difficult for ordinary people to see.
Let Jiaolong stay outside the mountain, while Ning Xiu and Chang Fenghai entered the mountain.
With Chang Fenghai leading the way, Ning Xiu walked into the mountain, who was familiar with the road. It was a complicated and winding road, but it gave Chang Fenghai the feeling of walking in his own yard.
This is a place with no road ahead. Chang Fenghai took a few turns, and Ning Xiu suddenly saw a new village in front of him, and a brand new way appeared.
"Sir, there are many earth immortal cave dwellings in this mountain, some earth immortals are gentle and kind, and some don't like to be close to people. Since we are here, we still need to pay attention. Next, please follow me closely. Walk around." Chang Fenghai turned around and reminded.
Ning Xiu nodded: "Of course there is no problem."
As you go deep into the mountains, you can clearly feel that the air in the mountains has become cooler than the outside.
The vegetation is extremely green and vigorous, the flowers are even more verdant, and ancient vines hang down from the treetops above.
A dull-headed brown bear emerged from the bushes next to it, and immediately met Ning Xiu and the others.
Encountering a brown bear in the wild is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing. He is the best hunter, and when he encounters a brown bear again, he cannot fight an adult bear by himself.
Just when Ning Xiu was ready to shoot, the brown bear nodded to Chang Fenghai in a very humane way.
Chang Fenghai also immediately returned a salute, it seems that the two are familiar with each other.
"This is a friend of the Earth Immortal in the family. In terms of seniority, it is not low in this mountain." Seeing Ning Xiu's doubts, Chang Fenghai explained aloud.
Chang Fenghai enshrined the Hu Family Earth Immortal, known as Hu Taigu, although not as powerful and far-reaching as the three major ghost factions.
But in terms of strength, it is also an existence that cannot be underestimated in this mountain.
After the brown bear left, Chang Fenghai continued to set off. As he turned around, he bumped into many wild beasts on the road.
A village located on a mound instantly came into Ning Xiu's eyes.
This village is full of houses made of mixed hay and soil. There are bushes full of red flowers everywhere in the village, and the scenery is quite beautiful. It is like a fairy house in a paradise.
As soon as Ning Xiu walked into the village, he saw two foxes with one yellow and one red coat coming out of a bowl-shaped mud house. After seeing Chang Fenghai bringing an outsider, he immediately ran away with curious eyes. Come over and stare at Ning Xiu at the same time.
"They are?" Ning Xiu asked.
"My aunt's children and grandchildren are all kind-hearted fox demons." Chang Fenghai took out the marzipan candy prepared earlier from his bosom, gave one to the two foxes, and watched them squinting and licking happily. Ning Xiu's impression of this demon village was slightly improved by the appearance of the lick.
It seems that this place is not as smoky as I thought before I came here.
In this hilly village, there are many such little fox demons. According to Chang Fenghai, only those fox demons who are powerful and virtuous can know the art of transforming into a human. Decent magic can't be used, let alone local immortals, cooperate with people and help them become witches.
After learning that Wu Zhu, who had a land immortal, came to the village, many little fox demons ran out of the bowl-shaped house one after another, gathered around Chang Fenghai and sat down obediently, looking up and waiting for Chang Fenghai's marzipan candy. Feeding, this picture looks quite harmonious.
"Everyone step back, what kind of decency looks like this, people will see a joke." A fox voice suddenly sounded, Ning Xiu didn't understand what he was talking about, but he could clearly see that all the little fox demons were immediately disheartened. ran away from here.
At the same time, there are still a few eyes that are still staring, looking back at the candy Chang Fenghai is holding in his hand with longing, but because of the scolding of the fox who spoke, he had to swallow his saliva and leave.
Ning Xiu looked around, and saw a white fox walking upright, with clothes and shoes on his body, walking slowly, his steps and posture were very human-like, if he hadn't known that this was a fox village, Ning Xiu would even I wonder if this guy is wearing a holster inside.
"Mr. Chang." Looking at Chang Fenghai, the white fox said hello.
"I have seen Aunt Hu, and today the disciples came here to bring this lord to meet the aunt." Chang Fenghai explained.
The white fox looked at Ning Xiu, although the other party was dressed in simple clothes, but he said this to Chang Fenghai, and it instantly understood the identity of Ning Xiu in his heart.
Ordinary local officials, Wu Zhu would never bring them over to expose the existence of this village. The only person who could allow Chang Fenghai to do so was the Fumo Division in Jingzhou.
Fu Mowei is an existence in the territory of the big business that specializes in dealing with evil spirits. If Wu Zhu dared to resist their orders, he would basically have half-legged into the crime of being a 'demon'. All said they could understand.
"I have seen Lord Fu Mowei." Aunt Hu Ba immediately saluted.
Don't look at this fox, which is only half the height of a human, but has about 4th rank of strength and aura, which is considered a big monster among the people.
"I'm here today because I need to ask Mrs. Hu for help. Please introduce me." Ning Xiu cupped his hands and said.
"This... ok, my lord is here." Aunt Hu Ba hesitated a little, but she agreed immediately.
It couldn't see through the strength of the Demon Demon Commander in front of him at all, which meant that the opponent's strength was far above his own, and that was the category of the top three.
This strength is placed in the Fumo Division, but the serious silver tiger Fumowei can be regarded as a big man in any place in the big business. Go to the mud house built on the highest hill in the village.
This mud house can be said to be the most special existence in the entire village. A large curved tree grows out of the mud roof. Many butterflies and dragonflies emitting various colors swirl around the treetops. It is very beautiful from a distance. .
When Ning Xiu walked into the mud house, he saw a red fox lying on a bamboo chair with a smoking gun in his hand leisurely smoking a dry cigarette. This posture is far more like a person lying there wearing a leather cover than Aunt Hu Ba.
"Master Tai Aunt." After seeing the red fox, Chang Fenghai immediately saluted.
This is the fox demon spirit body that Ning Xiu saw behind him when he was treating patients in his residence.
"You are here." The red fox seemed to have guessed it long ago, and was not surprised that Ning Xiu and the others came to his residence at this time, put the smoking gun on the wooden table next to him, and stood up.
"Ma Fangfang is dead, is this the reason why you came to the mountains to find your old man?" Mrs. Hu sighed.
Ning Xiu nodded: "It turns out that you already know Mrs. Hu, so do you know who the murderer is."
"Please tell me what happened first. Ma Fangfang became attached to a child of Laoshen. About Ma Fangfang's death, Laoshen also learned from the child just now, but I don't know the specific situation."
Ning Xiu told the story that he saw Granny Ma talking to the black hand and then being killed.
"It seems that there is a land immortal in the mountains that broke the rules that everyone agreed upon over the years, what a bastard." Taigu Hu suddenly said angrily.
In fact, the shamanistic atmosphere of this place in Donghaizhou is only hidden for ordinary people. How could the Fumo Si, who supervises the internal affairs of the entire big business, not know it.
But after examining the situation of these demons in the mountains of Donghai Prefecture, Fu Mosi has calculated a risk assessment, and finally felt that this trend can be retained, so that the demons can live in harmony with the people and help the people.
In this way, it can save a lot of the frequency of the Fumo Division sending people to Donghai Prefecture to deal with the evil and harmful incidents. These demons will be the first to help solve the problem, and this trend may evolve into a brand new one in the future. The Dao system is also not necessarily so.
As long as these demons don’t commit troubles and cause trouble, and are willing to practice with the way of incense, Fu Mosi can give them some convenience.
Therefore, the Earth Immortals in the mountains of Donghai Prefecture, led by the three major factions, agreed a lot of rules together, so as to restrain everyone and not do anything that would attract the Fu Mosi to punish them.
This time, many fishing villages have lost their children. In addition, the mother-in-law Ma, who is a witch, was murdered. It is obvious that a mountain immortal made a secret move. This move has seriously affected the stability of the mountain for hundreds of years.
If it is not stopped in time, the number of victims will continue to increase, and the consequences will be disastrous.
"Taigu Hu, do you have any guesses about who the murderer is behind the scenes?" Ning Xiu asked.
"Sorry, my lord, I can't get any useful clues from a single black claw, nor can I determine which immortal in this mountain, but I have a way to communicate with Ma Fangfang and let her tell us about her what is known."
"Oh!" Ning Xiu's eyes lit up: "Aunt Hu, please speak."
"The Mang Sect Grotto has a 'first seven soul-returning technique'. As long as the deceased has been dead for less than seven days, the remnants of the soul can be condensed and recalled, and then let her say goodbye to her relatives before her death. With this technique, we can talk to Ma Fangfang, who is Black Claw's identity, and then the truth will be revealed."
"Okay, it's not too late, let's go to the Mang Sect Cave."
…
There is a village in Donghai Prefecture that has become rich in recent years. This village was poor a few years ago, and even caught very little fish. In the end, there was really no other way, so it had to rely on the surrounding fishing villages for relief.
But I don’t know why in recent years, this village seems to be reborn. Every time I go out to sea, I can always collect a lot of nets, and I can also catch some rare hard goods, which are basically sold to dignitaries. Lie down and make money.
Because of the rapid wealth, the original shabby fence walls of this village have been replaced by stone walls, and the dilapidated wooden houses in the village have been transformed into exquisite two-story and three-story buildings.
The people in the surrounding villages were very surprised by the changes in this village, but it was difficult to pick out any problems.
After all, you can't always suspect that there is some ulterior reason behind someone else's inexplicable wealth.
Feng Meng Village.
Wu Zhu Pang Chao is sitting in his home preparing herbal medicines. Once this herbal medicine is put on, it can cure any soreness and injury, and the effect is excellent.
was taken out by Wu Zhu and sold everywhere. He has also made a lot of money by selling medicines over the years. The family even raised horses and carriages because of this, and traveled in style.
Just when Pang Chao was concentrating on making medicines, a dark figure suddenly appeared behind him, and he said in a voice, "Quick, do something for me, don't delay."
When Pang Chao heard this voice, he was instantly frightened and got up quickly: "Master Shan, why are you here all of a sudden."
"Don't give me nonsense, go to the easternmost village right now, and let me destroy Wu Zhu's body in that village, and definitely don't give her the chance to return to her first seven souls."
Seeing this figure's tone is very ferocious, Pang Chao didn't know what happened, but he could sense the seriousness of the matter from it, so he immediately responded: "Okay Mr. Shan, I'll go right now."
"In addition, during this period of time, you asked the villagers to give me a little bit of wisdom. I don't want to have any more connections with the mountains. No one is allowed to go to my place. If anyone comes to your village to ask questions, they must always answer that they don't know."
"Understood Mr. Shan, I will definitely make everyone keep my word."
After Pang Chao confirmed it, the shadow disappeared.
"Something has happened. This is it." Pang Chao couldn't help but wiped his face. Before, Mr. Shan had never acted so flustered. Pang Chao knew very well that this was definitely a response to something major.
Thinking of what the village has done for this grandfather over the years, Pang Chao couldn't help sweating from his forehead, and inexplicably said to himself, "It won't involve our village, what should we do now."
Quickly walked out of the house, Pang Chao called out to the villagers who obeyed his orders the most on weekdays, and went straight to the fishing village where Granny Ma was.
…
If it is said that the mountains are three-thirds of the world, the area occupied by the Mang Sect Grotto is really called a gloomy place where the sun cannot be seen.
According to Mrs. Hu, there are overcast clouds that cover the sky all year round to prevent sunlight from reaching the ground. In addition, the vegetation in this area is very lush, and even if the sun shines, it will be covered by the branches and leaves of the trees. It was eight or nine, and it was difficult for the sun to fall to the ground.
This makes the Mang Sect Cave gloomy and humid, not suitable for most demons to live in, but it is very suitable for snakes and pythons to inhabit here, it is simply the most perfect habitat for cold-blooded animals.
Looking at the dark forest atmosphere and the skeletons of beasts that can be seen occasionally on the ground, Ning Xiu's first impression was that this Mang Sect Cave didn't look like a good thing.
This time I came to the site of the Mang Sect Cave, not to seek revenge, so Taigu Hu only went with Ning Xiu and Chang Fenghai, and did not bring the other fox immortals in the Hu Sect, so as not to cause the Mang Sect Cave to be unhappy.
Not long after entering this dark forest, I saw a large number of snakes suddenly appear on the nearby trees, red, blue, white, mixed colors, this is completely into a snake cave.
Each snake spit out a snake letter to Ning Xiu and the others, twisting its body, sending out a warning signal.
That scene looked a little creepy.
"The Mang Sect Grotto doesn't like to meet outsiders very much. Their witches rarely come here on weekdays. They all rely on the spirit body of the snake fairy to negotiate." Chang Fenghai introduced.
Although Taigu Hu has a third-rank strength, she will not easily come to the site of the Mang Sect Grotto. Today, with Ning Xiu as the backing, she is naturally full of confidence.
He took the initiative to take a step forward and said: "The old man has no intention of committing the crime, it is true that there is Lord Fu Mowei here, and I need to find the Great Immortal of the Mang Zong Cave to do something, please let me know, but I dare not let Lord Fu Mowei wait for a long time. ."
The group of snakes hissed, some snakes turned around and crawled away, and some snakes remained in place, raising their heads and staring at the outsiders.
Soon, there was a monstrous wind in the mountains and forests in the distance, and a gray giant python at least ten feet long crawled over quickly against the ground.
Compared with other ordinary snakes, there is a ray of wisdom in the eyes of this giant python, which proves that it has a spirit.
"Mangqiuliu, the cave of the Mang Sect, I have seen Master Fu Mowei." Like Aunt Hu and Aunt Hu, this giant python also spoke words.
Ning Xiu would not be surprised if he saw it beforehand.
"Your lord is here today, for what reason, if you can help, the Mang Sect Cave will definitely contribute your own strength." Giant Python said.
"Recently, there was a demon in Donghai Prefecture who was secretly rioting and stealing innocent children. I now need the first seven revival techniques from your Mang Sect cave to investigate the situation. You only need to send a clansman who can use the first seven revival techniques to go out with me. Just one trip."
The python was covered in white smoke, and soon a young man in a robe walked out of the white smoke, he bowed his hands and said: "That's the case, then you can go out with your lord, you don't need to find me any more. tribe."
Monsters can transform into human beings, which is a symbol of the third grade. Aunt Hu and Taigu can do this, but they are accustomed to acting like monsters, unless they want to step into the mundane world, so as not to attract too many people's attention. Pay attention, otherwise it will not be easily transformed into an adult.
"Happy, it shouldn't be too late, I'll be out of the mountain." Ning Xiu nodded in response.
