Self-cultivation in the world of monster hunting

After being drowsy for an unknown amount of time, the flower demon gradually woke up. He opened his eyes and looked at the tall vegetation around him, and then looked down at the hands that had turned into leaves. He knew that he had recovered his body because he was too weak.

God has eyes!The flower demon was pleasantly surprised, he was not in Lu Xiang's Qiankun bag, did he get rid of that lunatic?

The flower demon was about to cry, and stretched her stems and leaves against the sun, feeling physically and mentally comfortable, couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Xiaohua, are you awake? You have been asleep for two days." Lu Xiang's voice came without warning, and the flower demon screamed in fright. Lu Xiang also screamed in panic, and hurriedly said: " What's the situation! Are there bad guys! Where are they!"

The flower demon was horrified to find that he hadn't gotten rid of Lu Xiang, and that Lu Xiang had put him on the head!

God!

The flower demon pulled her petals in pain and said, "Why are you still pestering me!"

Lu Xiang looked around vigilantly, but didn't find anything, and no one could be seen in the wilderness.

Lu Xiang calmed down a little, raised his hand and poked the flower demon soothingly with a finger, and then said: "It's okay, Xiaohua, don't be nervous."

The flower demon took a deep breath for a long time, told herself to be calm, and said as calmly as possible: "Why are you willing to let me go?"

Lu Xiang said seriously: "I said that I will watch you. You haven't healed from your injuries before. You are too weak and impatient, so you can easily become enchanted. Now that you have changed back to your body, let's take good care of your injuries. Stay on top of your head to absorb the aura of the sun and moon."

The flower demon imagined the appearance of a young man with a small yellow flower on his head, and he felt that his mother couldn't bear it. This Lu Xiang was indeed a lunatic who was rare in a thousand years.

Lu Xiang didn't wait for his answer, but kept walking.At this point, the flower demon can neither run nor hurt Lu Xiang, no matter how hard she beats her chest, she can only accept her fate.He comforted himself with empty eyes for a long time before finally reassuring himself: Forget it, it's important to heal the wound first, at least it's safe on Lu Xiang's head and won't be beaten to death.

Seeing the flower demon calm down, Lu Xiang said, "By the way, Xiao Hua, I still have a lot of exclusives..."

"Don't call me little flower again!" The flower demon quickly interrupted Lu Xiang, and said, "What kind of native chicken's name is that!"

Lu Xiang pondered for a while and said, "Okay, since you don't like Lu Xiaohua, let's get another one, which is sure to suit you very well. How about calling it Lu Jiaohua?"

The flower demon rolled her eyes: "It's the most native flower character!"

Lu Xiang thought for a while and said, "Then call me Lu Jiaoju!"

The flower demon rolled her eyes tiredly: "Jiaozi is also very rustic!"

Lu Xiang thought for a while, and said, "Then call me Lu Xiaoju!"

The flower demon rolled her supercilious eyes, pulled Lu Xiang's hair forcefully and threatened, "Is the word chrysanthemum no longer a chicken! If you say another name that is more native, I will turn you into a bald head!"

Lu Xiang said distressedly: "Ah, little flower, how can you despise yourself so much, you are just a little chrysanthemum..."

"Okay, okay!" The flower demon interrupted Lu Xiang irritably, and continued, "I have a name, and my name is Xingyuan, the star of the stars, and the abyss of the cloud."

"Huh?" Lu Xiang was startled, and then said slowly, "Xingyuan...is such a nice name, it must have been chosen by a very learned person...is it another celestial master? Didn't you not be named?" Has the Celestial Master subdued it? Who took it for you? By the way, what is your surname? Is it the same as the Celestial Master’s surname?"

Xing Yuan refused to answer any of this series of questions, and then closed the petals and pretended to be dead. No matter how Lu Xiang poked him, he didn't respond.

Lu Xiang smiled "hehe" and said, "It seems that you are also a little chrysanthemum with a story."

Xingyuan said: "Ask suicide again!"

Lu Xiang lightly poked his bud, and said: "Okay, you rest, we continue on our way, you don't know, we have been sleeping in the wilderness for two days when we fell asleep. But it's okay, today probably You can rush to the next village before dark, and then find a family to stay overnight."

Xingyuan asked: "Where are you taking me?"

Lu Xiangdao: "I'm not taking you anywhere, but I'm going to Tianji Pavilion, I'm going to check my life experience, and take you along the way to recuperate, and keep an eye on you so that you won't be enchanted."

Xingyuan was too lazy to argue with Lu Xiang, so he simply closed his mouth. No matter what Lu Xiang said, he didn't say a word, but Lu Xiang's mood was not affected, and he kept humming and dancing all the way. Xingyuan was crushed on his head. He was so bumped that he was about to throw up, and he couldn't help but yelled loudly and threatened him with the bald head, so Lu Xiang was able to be honest for a while, but after a while he started jumping again, and Xingyuan threatened again.

This cycle went back and forth eight hundred times, and when it was getting dark, I finally met a person.

It was a young farmer aged [-]-[-] years old, tall and slender, he came hurriedly from the path opposite Lu Xiang, his face was slightly flushed, as if he was very anxious.

Lu Xiang bowed to the man from a distance, and said, "Hello, brother, I would like to ask, which direction is the nearest village from here? I am a passing celestial master, and I want to find a family to stay overnight."

While talking, the young farmer had already walked in front of Lu Xiang, and Lu Xiang immediately smiled at him as a sign of friendship, but the farmer didn't even look at Lu Xiang, passed him very impolitely and hurried forward.

Xingyuan gloated and said: "It seems that you are not only annoying to demons, but also annoying to people."

Lu Xiang felt aggrieved: "Brother may be in a hurry, why am I annoying?"

Xingyuan snorted.

Looking at the back of the farmer leaving in a hurry, Lu Xiang felt in a daze that there were two strangle marks on his wrist, but it was getting late at this time, and Lu Xiang couldn't see clearly. When he wanted to see again, the farmer had already left After reaching a mound, there was no trace.

Lu Xiang felt a little strange, and ran a few steps to follow up to look, but couldn't find the farmer no matter what.

Xingyuan said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing wrong! Turn around and go! It's getting dark, so hurry up and find someone else to stay overnight!"

Hearing the word "sky black", Lu Xiang showed some panic, and then immediately turned around and started to run.

After running along the path for a while, a small village finally appeared in front of them. Lu Xiang howled happily, and Sa Huan ran towards the village.

This is a small village that is not very big. You can see the end at a glance. There are only a few dozen families. The plaque of "Chenjia Village" hangs at the entrance of the village, as if it has not been wiped for a long time. Mottled rain and mud traces hang on the wall Above, it looks very down and out.

Before entering the village, Lu Xiang and his team felt that the village was a bit unusual. There was no one on the road, and every house was closed and the lights were not lit. The whole village was shrouded in strangeness and gloom.

"It's weird." Xingyuan said with some vigilance.

Lu Xiang held his arms in fear, and said, "Why don't they light up the lights, it's so dark, I'm afraid..."

Xingyuan was so angry that the petals were about to fall off, and said: "You are a celestial master and you are still afraid of the dark, I really admire you! Go forward! Look! There is an oil lamp lit in the ancestral hall in front, go there and have a look!"

Lu Xiang said "Oh", and hurried towards the place with the faint light. When he arrived, he finally heard the voice of a human being.

There seemed to be a gathering in the ancestral hall. It should be that the whole village was present. There were many people, some were crying, some were moaning, and some were talking in low voices.Because everyone was too focused, when Lu Xiang suddenly appeared, everyone screamed in shock, and Lu Xiang also screamed: "Are there any bad guys! Where are they!"

As a result, the screams one after another almost toppled the roof of the ancestral hall, and Xingyuan shouted angrily: "Lu Xiang shut up!"

So Lu Xiang shut up honestly, and the commotion in the room was reduced by half. Xingyuan stood on Lu Xiang's head to preside over the overall situation, and said very imposingly: "Everyone be quiet, don't get excited, there is no danger now! This annoying person in front of you The kid is a celestial master! Although annoying, he is not a bad person, everyone calm down!"

After listening to Xingyuan's words, everyone slowly settled down. Looking at Lu Xiang's attire and the talking chrysanthemum on his head, they finally confirmed Lu Xiang's identity as a celestial master.

All of a sudden, everyone gathered around, everyone was very excited, their eyes were full of hope, and they started arguing.

"Finally a celestial master is here!"

"We are saved!"

"Dare to ask the little celestial master Gao's name? Are you the celestial master of Wenren?"

"Tianshi, you must save my son!"

Lu Xiang interrupted the commotion by raising his hand, and replied, "I'm not Wenren's celestial master. My surname is Lu, and my name is Lu Xiang."

After Lu Xiang finished speaking, everyone who was originally excited suddenly turned cold. They looked at each other and asked the people next to him if they knew Lu Xiang with their eyes. The result was obvious.

Lu Xiang scratched his head and said, "You may not know me. I am not from a great sect, nor from a few big families that you are familiar with. That's right, I was a newcomer to the list of celestial masters last month. Bang, I’m still a rookie. But even though I’m just a rookie, I’ll still do my best to protect everyone.”

The flame of hope that everyone had just ignited was suddenly extinguished.

Chenjiacun is a small village, and the secrets of the secrets are usually spread to this village with a delay of one month, so they don't know the glorious deeds of Lu Xiang and Xingyuan's troubles in the yamen at all. If they knew, they would be even more disappointed.

The people gathered together dispersed in twos and threes, each went to the corner, those who cried continued to cry, those who sighed continued to sigh, and some people did not shy away from discussing in front of Lu Xiang, "send another letter to Wenren's family" or "Please Sijun adults."

Lu Xiang heard the word "Si Jun".

He knew Sijun, who was a legendary figure who had been at the top of the list of celestial masters for 15 years. Even Lu Xiang, who came from the countryside and hadn't seen much of the world, had heard many bizarre rumors about him.

No one knows his origin and surname, and he has never associated with any big family, he is an outlier in the Jianghu.

What is "the world is invincible but behaves indifferently and perversely", what is "never accepts monsters and only kills them if they encounter harm", what is "the object that people all over the world look up to, and the nightmare that all monsters fear".

After listening to the discussion calmly, Lu Xiang cheered everyone up: "Everyone, don't be depressed. I will protect everyone until Lord Wenren and Lord Sijun come."

Everyone looked at Lu Xiang leisurely, with resentful eyes.

Lu Xiang went on to say: "Then... someone will tell me what happened, and I will come up with countermeasures for everyone."

No one stood up to speak, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing. Xingyuan closed the petals and pretended to be dead again, but Lu Xiang didn't seem to feel such an embarrassing atmosphere at all, and still looked at everyone with innocent eyes and a smile.

Finally, someone couldn't stand the embarrassment, stood up and said to Lu Xiang: "Lu Tianshi, I am the village head of Chenjia Village, you can call me Uncle Chen, and I will tell you."

Lu Xiang saluted the old man and said respectfully, "Please tell me."

Uncle Chen pulled Lu Xiang aside and said, "Tianshi Lu should have seen it too. Our Chenjia Village is a small village. Every household is engaged in farming and raising mulberries. There is no rich family, but life is peaceful and peaceful. But in two One night more than a month ago, just after dark, the child Ali ran out of the village for some unknown reason, and then disappeared. Ten days later, the child came back by himself, but he seemed to be lost. Like a ghost, he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed, and he lay on the bed with his eyes open all day long. And on the night when Ali came back, another child ran out inexplicably. This time, many people saw it. The man who was working well in the field suddenly dropped his hoe and ran out of the village in a hurry, ignoring anyone who told him, and then he disappeared. After that, every once in a while, a child would disappear like this, and finally In the beginning, the frequency was ten days, but in the past few days... it suddenly became one person missing every night, and it has been three consecutive days."

"Oops." Lu Xiang thought of the young farmer he met on the road just now, and asked quickly, "Anyone else has an accident today?"

Uncle Chen nodded, and said solemnly: "Yes, Daniel also ran out of the village today. His mother quickly called someone when she saw that his eyes were wrong. We tied up the child and locked him in the ancestral hall, but he seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. He was so powerful that he broke free from the rope and ran away."

Lu Xiang was so anxious that he stood up and walked back and forth in a circle, and said sadly: "I saw him on the way here just now! I couldn't see the problem, so I didn't hold him back. It was my fault, I Why didn't you grab him back then!"

Seeing that Lu Xiang's face turned pale with anxiety, Uncle Chen said instead: "Master Lu, don't blame yourself. It's useless, you can't pull him back. We tried it before and thought we pulled him back, but when we pulled him back, we found out that it was A piece of wood."

"This is an illusion. It should be a very powerful demon." Lu Xiang walked around twice, calmed down again, and returned to Uncle Chen and asked, "How many people have disappeared so far?"

Chen Bodao: "Apart from Ali who ran back by himself, there are still seven people missing in the village."

Lu Xiangdao: "That is, there were eight accidents in total, so serious... Did you invite a celestial master?"

Chen Bodao: "Yes, a month ago, a celestial master was invited. That day's master followed the child who was recruited, trying to find the evil monster, but he never came back after he went. We guess that day's master also Something has happened. The person causing trouble in our village must be a very powerful demon. Ordinary celestial masters may not be able to do anything about it, so we sent a letter to Mr. Wenren, which should have been delivered long ago. So today, when little celestial master Lu came, we So I thought you were sent by the Wenren family."

Xingyuan snorted a few times on Lu Xiang's head, and then said: "Those noble families, it's bullshit to say that they protect the people. They think it's time-consuming and labor-intensive, and they don't want to come."

Uncle Chen said in a low voice: "You can't say that, I heard that your lord is busy..."

Lu Xiang said: "It's okay, I will protect you."

Uncle Chen glanced at Lu Xiang, obviously he didn't trust him, but Lu Xiang's attitude was very sincere, so he was ashamed to dampen Lu Xiang's enthusiasm.

Lu Xiang went on to say: "Then Uncle Chen, please take me to see Ali, and make sure what's wrong with him before we can prescribe the right medicine."
