The Beast Controlling Family: I have an illustrated book of all spirits

Baiyun Town during the autumnal equinox this year is more desolate than before.

Heavy frost covered the mountains early, covering the entire wilderness with a layer of white.

There were very few pedestrians on the street, and they were all walking in a hurry.

A figure walked on the street. He walked very slowly, as if his body was frozen by heavy frost.

He looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and felt everything unfamiliar.

This person is Ye Jingcheng who came down from Lingyun Peak.

Before leaving Lingyun Peak, he upgraded the spiritual veins in the cave and prepared the spiritual food for the spiritual beasts, so he delayed until now.

He didn't fly all the way, he just walked, walking all the way from Lingyun Peak to Baiyun Town.

He just wanted to see the place that had been ravaged by monsters from a mortal perspective.

In my memory, this street should be very lively at this time.

The lanterns in the restaurant will fly with the wind, and the waiter will bow enthusiastically at the door and keep shouting.

The bun shop at the corner can blow the smoke far away, and there are children playing among the adults.

The man who sells candied haws will also hold a rattle and shake it towards the children's ears.

Maybe the former Baiyun Town residents moved away, or maybe the town became silent after the beast wave.

Everyone's face was full of wind and frost, and their eyes were filled with too much exhaustion.

Ye Jingcheng walked through every corner of the town. When he saw the tall courtyard, the stone lions in front of the door were replaced, the lanterns under the green tiles were replaced with darker red lanterns, and even the couplets on the door were replaced with new ones. Extremely.

Without his spiritual consciousness, he could no longer see inside the courtyard, but he could see that the old tree in front of the old mayor's wicker chair was no longer there.

He knew in his heart that this was no longer the old mayor's family.

When he goes in, he won't see anyone he knows.

However, he still stood in front of the yard for a long time. It was not until noon that the sun came out, the fog in the mountains dissipated, the frost slowly disappeared, and there were more birdsong in the sky.

He let out a long sigh. It had only been a few years, but the feeling that things were different and people were different pervaded every corner of the town.

His steps picked up again.

Finally, he stopped in front of the Immortal Hall.

I saw that the Immortal Hall was still the same as before, with tall buildings and secluded halls.

He went in again.

He started to take out the tools and started making candied haws.

He didn't use magic, but relied on his dexterity to set up a fire and take out a big black pot.

In the Immortal Hall, brown sugar began to be cooked.

Ye Jingcheng made candied haws on the spot, which was different from the elixir and spiritual meal. Ye Jingcheng was more careful when making ordinary candied haws. He was afraid that the candied haws would be spoiled or not cooked well enough.

After it was cooked, he took out a straw man and inserted the candied haws on it one by one.

In the Immortal Hall, there are no immortals today, only the candied man making candied haws.

Ye Jingcheng waited for everything to be finished, then picked up another rattle, followed the shadow in his memory, and started shaking the rattle.

Shaking and shouting.

"Candied haws on a stick, fresh candied haws on a stick!"

His voice was still full of penetration. Maybe it was because the town was too empty and there were fewer people coming out.

But he still shouted and shook.

After a while, several children finally ran out of the yard.

"Be careful, there are monsters outside, don't go out casually!" Behind the child, his mothers warned.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

He didn't say much. Today's situation was originally because of the Ye family.

These mortals all migrated from Buqing Mountain. When they saw the empty Baiyun Town, they naturally felt that the town had been bloodbathed by the beast tide.

"Grandpa, how much is a bunch of candied haws on a stick?"

"One penny for one bunch, two pennies for three bunches." Ye Jingcheng looked like an old man at the moment. He tried his best to smile, letting his wrinkles squeeze together, making him look more kind.

"Mom, this candied haws on a stick is even cheaper than it was many years ago!" The child jumped happily.

He could no longer remember where his old town was, let alone the last time he saw candied haws on the street.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the child who was smiling again, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

The candied haws on a stick sell very well.

From then on, Ye Jingcheng lived in front of the Immortal Hall and sold gourds every day.

There seemed to be more sunshine gradually, or perhaps because of Ye Jingcheng's prosperity, more and more people came out to shout and set up stalls.

There are candy sellers and chestnut sellers. The streets are getting hotter and the noisy atmosphere is gradually returning to Baiyun Town.

Children's play has returned to the town.

Their innocent smiles seemed to be able to dilute even the morning frost.

The restaurant next to the street opened at some point, and a strong aroma of wine attracted pedestrians who left early and returned late.

On this day, in front of the Immortal Hall in the town, Ye Jingcheng had already sold out early.

A crowd of children gathered around Ye Jingcheng. They wanted to listen to Ye Jingcheng's stories.

I want to know even more, why is this palace in front of me called Immortal Palace?

"Because there are immortals living in the palace!" Ye Jingcheng recalled what the old mayor once told him and couldn't help but answer.

"But why we never saw it."

"Yes, Grandpa Cheng, this place is obviously empty."

"And you are the only one living in it, Old Man Cheng!" Some children immediately started chattering, and a naughty one called Old Man Cheng.

Ye Jingcheng was not annoyed by this, but smiled and said:

"You will know later!"

"Then we also want to live in it, and we also want to ascend to immortality!" the children said one after another.

"It's not that easy to ascend to immortality!"

"Old man Cheng, it's because it's not easy that we want to ascend to immortality. If it were easy, why would we ascend to immortality?"

"Yes, sooner or later we will be able to become immortals, and we will have to live in a larger immortal palace than this one!"

Ye Jingcheng smiled slightly and then stopped talking. Instead, he waited until dusk came and walked into the Immortal Hall.

When the children couldn't hear him, he murmured:

"It's not easy to ascend to immortality!"

The road to immortality is unpredictable, and no one can really guarantee that they will reach immortality. Only those children can say such words.

Even he himself can truly guarantee that he will be able to reach the immortal road.

But soon, Ye Jingcheng's wavering disappeared.

Even though there are many difficulties and dangers, why would a monk give it a try?

He has treasure books, the Ye family, the accumulation of ancestors of all generations, and the animal pattern, why not?

When Ye Jingcheng thought of this, his eyes became brighter.

Mortal children dare to say this, how can monks give up!

Ye Jingcheng started a fire again and burned the pot, but this time, he no longer made candied haws, but used sugar to dip four characters on the pillar!

"Ascend to immortality and live forever!"

……

The next day, looking at the increasingly lively streets, Ye Jingcheng still sold candied haws on a stick, but after selling out, he no longer returned to the Immortal Hall, but walked towards the outside of the town.
