imperial decree arrives

Chapter 740 The Temptation of the Fox Demon
"Hey, what's the smell, why is it so fragrant?"

Scholars still couldn't block their sense of smell, so some scholars smelled the fragrance as soon as it came, so those scholars who were already hungry opened their eyes and sniffed the fragrance vigorously.As the fragrance wafted through the nose, more and more scholars gave up their cultivation and turned to search for the source of the fragrance.

"Students, I've been on this journey for a long time, and I'm quite in a hurry. Why don't I wait for a meal before practicing?"

"What brother said is very true, it is exactly what I want."

"Goodness, as the saying goes, people are iron, and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry."

"It's just this wilderness, what am I waiting for?"

"Mountain flowers and wild vegetables, pheasants and hares are all edible."

The discussion among the crowd grew louder, and some scholars who were still practicing were also awakened, and then quickly joined the discussion.

Ning Caichen was woken up by Feng Sheng and Qiao Sheng, and when the three of them were about to discuss what to eat, Pu Songling came over and said: "Brother Ning, Brother Feng, and Brother Qiao, I used to be from the mountains and fields. I am used to life in the mountains, so I am quite familiar with it. But with my own strength, it is a bit cumbersome to make some food, how about I wait together?"

"Brother Pu, please, since Brother Pu is interested, why don't we simply get some food, if you are dissatisfied with Brother Pu, the three of us were also born in poverty."

Pu Songling laughed. Among the hundred people, Pu Songling observed briefly. Just as Ning Caichen said, the clothes of the four were a little plain, and it could be seen that they were basically born in poverty.

"I wonder if I can join you?"

At this time, a voice sounded, and the four of them looked back, and it turned out that it was Li Lanling, the candidate for the imperial examination.

"Haha...I didn't expect that I, Feng Sheng, would be together with No. [-] Scholar, No. [-] and Tanhua this time. It's really my luck."

Feng Sheng laughed.

After hearing this, the rest looked at Feng Sheng and smiled.

"Hey, then I am neither the top pick, nor the second place, and I'm not the best candidate, so I don't know if I can join you?"

amount……

Cai Yanyi was like a gentleman, gentle as jade, and said with a chuckle.

"Naturally."

"Good, great good!"

Without exception, Cai Yanyi also joined Ning Caichen's team.After a few people divided the work, they each performed their duties.

After a while, Ning Caichen came back with a pheasant, and the rest came back too.

Soon, a simple small stove was set up. Although Ning Caichen and the others were all scholars, they did such things on a daily basis.

Ning Caichen started the fire relatively late, but it was the most abundant one. The rest of the people formed a group in twos and threes, and simply made some wild fruits to fill their stomachs.Some noble sons also abandoned their arrogance at this time, just like those people, eating some fruits to fill their stomachs.

The pheasant was not roasted, but boiled into a pot. Before it was cooked, Ning Caichen and the others were already staring at the chicken soup, ready to stir.

"smell good……"

"It's been a long time since I drank chicken soup, and now I'm hungry, it tastes so delicious..."

"How long is it, I can't wait!"

gollum...

Feng Sheng's stomach was already protesting, Ning Caichen lifted the lid and fished it out, and said, "It's almost done, if you're in a hurry, drink some chicken soup first."

So Ning Caichen picked up the banana leaf and filled some soup for Feng Sheng. After filling it, he said to the rest of the people, "Everyone, let's have a bowl of soup too."

After finishing drinking, Ning Caichen found that there was still a lot of soup, so he said to the others: "If you don't mind, you might as well have a bowl of hot soup."

The rest of the people looked at each other face to face, and did not speak for a while.

cough cough...

At this time, a young man in gorgeous clothes stood up awkwardly, walked to Ning Caichen, and said, "Can I have a bowl?"

Ning Caichen nodded, and made some soup for the other party without saying a word.

With the first one, there will be the second, and the third soon... In the end, only the pheasant remained in the whole stone pot, and the chicken soup has been drunk by everyone.Seeing this, Ning Caichen had to add some more water.

……

"tasty!"

After Yan Chixia ate a hare by herself, she felt refreshed. After picking her teeth, Yan Chixia thought of those scholars.

"I don't know what happened to those scholars?"

Most of those scholars are pampered, and only a few are from poor backgrounds. It may be difficult for those people to be self-sufficient.

Yan Chixia got up and decided to go back and have a look.

"Hey, what a strange smell..."

As soon as she got up, Yan Chixia smelled a strange smell.

After smelling it carefully, Yan Chixia winked, picked up the thing and was ready to do it: "It's the fox's snail smell!"

"Come on, it came from the direction of those scholars!"

Yan Chixia's face turned pale with shock, she turned into a black shadow and disappeared.

……

"Help me..."

The voice is miserable, touching the heartstrings.

The people who were still drinking the soup smelled a scent in a trance, floating in the air. This smell was different from the smell of chicken soup, it seemed to be a woman's fragrance.

"Caichen, did you hear any voice just now?"

Pu Songling stopped moving, listened carefully, then looked at Ning Caichen and the others, and asked.

Ning Caichen shook his head and said no, Feng Sheng joked: "Brother Pu, did you hear that?"

A trace of doubt flashed across Pu Songling's face, and he said blankly: "I seem to have heard it, it seems to be a woman's cry for help!"

Feng Sheng immediately interrupted: "Impossible, there are no women in this barren mountain. Brother Pu, you should restrain yourself."

Pu Songling: "...?"

At this time, other scholars also began to discuss, because they also heard the woman's cry for help by accident.Pu Songling looked at Feng Sheng, Feng Sheng was taken aback for a moment, so he calmed down and listened carefully. After listening, he heard the woman calling for help.

"There is really... the source of the sound, it seems to be over there!"

As he spoke, Feng Sheng pointed in a direction with his finger.

"go!"

"Go and see..."

The cries for help are getting louder and getting closer to everyone.

Some scholars had already stood up, ready to rescue them. Feng Sheng looked at Ning Caichen, seeing that Ning Caichen and others were indifferent, so he pulled everyone up and said: "Human life is at stake, let's go and have a look."

Ning Caichen asked back: "Don't you think it's strange, why is there a woman's cry for help suddenly coming from this place? Besides, haven't you smelled the smell in the air?"

"What's so strange about this? Maybe the robbers took the woman to this ghost place, and she escaped later. As for the taste you mentioned, aren't we cooking chicken soup? It's normal to have a taste."

Feng Sheng was puzzled, this was different from Ning Caichen who was old-fashioned and kind-hearted in the past.

Pu Songling and the others reacted, and Pu Songling asked: "Brother Ning, what do you know? You might as well tell me."

Ning Caichen didn't intend to hide it from them, so he said: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. This woman is probably not human!"

hiss……

Qiao Sheng nodded, and said, "Nowadays, many students have been bewitched. What should we do? Should we find Commander Yan?"

Li Lanling suggested: "It happens that I have learned the law of luck, how about I get rid of the demon?"

Feng Sheng's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

Cai Yanyi was a little worried, and said: "If this demon's skills are advanced, wouldn't it be self-inflicted for me to go there? It's better to divide the army into two groups, some people go to find the leader of Yan, and some people go to see it, and let us know about it by the way. Other colleagues, just in case."

Ning Caichen and others nodded in agreement, only to hear Pu Songling say: "How about this, Brother Qiao, Brother Cai and Brother Li went to look for Commander Yan, Brother Ning, Brother Feng and I went to find out."

"Okay, you three, be careful."

After finishing speaking, the three of Pu Songling turned around and left with the rest of the scholars.

"Young masters, save the little girl..."

When Ning Caichen, Pu Songling, and Feng Sheng arrived, they realized that there was not just one woman, but seven or eight women. These women were plainly dressed, but they were naturally beautiful. One glance will fascinate all beings.

Dozens of scholars surrounded a woman and began to greet these women. Ning Caichen couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene.

"Brother Ning, what did you find?"

Pu Songling turned to Ning Caichen and asked.

Ning Caichen shook his head, the fragrance was indeed emanating from these women, but that was all.Ning Caichen didn't dare to say whether these women were human or not, Ning Caichen secretly felt that there must be something strange about this matter.

"Hey, Caichen, these women are even more beautiful than your little Miss Xie."

Swish!
Ning Caichen suddenly realized when he heard it, and said in a deep voice: "These women are not human."

This time, Ning Caichen's voice was very firm.When Pu Songling and Feng Sheng heard this, the former smiled and nodded, while the latter was a little surprised, then lowered his head in thought, then stared at these women intently, and said while watching: "Don't worry, wait for me to take a few last glances, we will have a look later. Subduing the demon."

"Ahem, are you not afraid that I will tell Qiurong about this?"

"Hmph, then I'll tell Xiao Xie that you watched it with me."

Pu Songling was a little envious, but kept silent to deal with it.

"But if we expose them now, how should we get rid of the demon?"

Pu Songling made the point.

"Naturally use it."

With the yellow talisman in hand, I own the world.

Ning Caichen had already learned the method of the yellow talisman, and Yan Chixia also taught everyone, but they didn't know how to be lucky at that time, but now they have learned how to be lucky, and they only need to input Wen Qi to drive them.

"It's not too late, and the late will change. In my opinion, it's better for me to take action directly, so that these evildoers can be revealed?"

Feng Sheng said seriously, already eager to try.

"Put the yellow talisman on them and you'll know."

As he said, Ning Caichen took the yellow talisman and prepared to do it.

Pu Songling stretched out his hand to stop it, and said: "No, we only have three people, and the opponent has seven people, if the monster sees his companion exposed and kills him directly, wouldn't it be a disaster for the innocent."

Ning Caichen nodded, Feng Sheng also thought of it, and couldn't help but slapped his mind. When everyone was thinking hard, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Ning Caichen: "I wonder if the four of us can help?"

"You are?"

Although the four looked familiar, Ning Caichen really didn't know their names. Pu Songling had no choice but to introduce to Ning Caichen: "This is No. 5 Wu Chengde, and this is No. 6 Cao Zhan." , this is No.7 Shi Yanduan, this is No.8 Luo Xian, they are..."

Wu Chengde said with a smile: "The four of us know each other, Brother Ning Caichen, and Brother Feng Sheng, I wonder if what I'm saying is right, Brother Pu?"

Pu Songling nodded.

"Including me, there are exactly seven people, why don't we all do it together and let these monsters show their true colors?"

Luo Xian suggested.

Everyone nodded, put the yellow talisman in their hands, and then divided into eight directions, walking towards the seven monsters.

"Heaven and earth have righteous energy, mixed with manifold..."

At this moment, Ning Caichen and others suddenly chanted the song of righteousness. The voices of the seven people were weak, but they were full of momentum.

Edict!
Swish!
When it was too late, the seven of Ning Caichen took advantage of the stagnation of the other scholars and hurriedly pasted yellow talismans on the girl. Although they were a little caught off guard, all seven of them succeeded.

"what……"

In an instant, seven horrific screams sounded.

"Go back!"

The seven of them took the lead, standing in front of the rest of the scholars, watching these women warily.

"It's a fox demon..."

In a trance, the fox demon showed its original shape, and was discovered by a kind of scholar, who screamed and backed away quickly.

Seeing that he had been exposed, the fox demon completely showed his fox face. In the blink of an eye, the seven foxes bared their fangs and glared at the seven of Ning Caichen fiercely.

"You dare to spoil my good deeds?"

"court death!"

After finishing speaking, the seven fox demons were ready to attack, and Ning Caichen saw this, so he shouted loudly: "Everyone, read along with me."

"Heaven and earth have righteous energy, mixed with manifold..."

All of a sudden, the whole world was filled with righteousness. The fox monster did not expect that these ordinary scholars could explode such terrifying power. For a moment, the fox was accidentally entangled in the righteousness, and the righteousness penetrated into the body of the fox monster. The fox demon's body split and disintegrated.As Ning Caichen and the others read louder and louder, they only heard an explosion, and the seven fox demons emerged from their real bodies.

"This... is this really what I've been waiting for?"

Some scholars couldn't believe it, they never thought that they were so powerful.

"Hahaha...well, well, the Holy Majesty did not misjudge you."

At this time, Yan Chixia's voice sounded, and then, Yan Chixia fell from the sky and landed on a tall tree, looking at everyone with a smile on her face.

"Humph, this is the first lesson for you. If you are only so vigilant in the vast wilderness, wait for me to collect your corpse. Monsters are ever-changing, sinister and vicious. This is just a simple fox monster. If you meet those beasts The monster, with your strength, I am afraid that it will also turn into loess in the end."

Yan Chixia said in a cold voice, she came down after seeing all the scholars in a daze.

"It's almost time, let's go."

After Yan Chixia finished speaking, she cast a spell to envelop everyone with spiritual energy, and then left.

"Come on, I haven't eaten the pheasant yet."

……

After three days on the road, Ning Caichen and his party were reduced from a hundred people to less than 70 people. The ghosts and ghosts they met on the road caused heavy losses to these scholars.

The most serious one was passing through a mountain temple, where everyone slept in the open, but woke up the next day and saw Yan Chixia covered in blood and the corpses of some companions.

Only then did Ning Caichen and the others realize that the world far away from the hustle and bustle was so cruel. For a moment, the atmosphere of the whole team was a little silent.
