Strengthening starts from the county magistrate

Chapter 464

A man's choking voice came from the firewood room.

What Cao Bi was talking about was snot and tears, as if pouring out all the bitterness of these years.

"My lord, it's a hard life for the little one... And I'm a bandit, just to scare people, get some property, and never kill innocent people indiscriminately. The rumors on the road are not my doing at all, they are all other people from Xiaosongshan. It has nothing to do with me...you see how pitiful I am...let me go..."

Cao Bi knelt down and begged.

Just this moment.

Shen Mu, Zhao Taiji and Li Tieniu all fell silent after hearing Cao Bi's passing.

I have to say, this person is indeed... miserable.

J.

Cao Bi was originally a talented scholar in the county town of Dalibian County. He entered the literature and Taoism at a young age and became a Qi trainer in the Furnace Realm.

Although the county seat of Bian County is small, it is still relatively well-known, so Cao Bi at that time can be said to be high-spirited.

Originally thought that the future would be a broad road, and after reaching the Zhongwu Realm, he would be able to honor his ancestors, but when he came back from a long trip to study, he met a woman.

This is what he met when he came back from the ferry in Yuncang Port.

The two hit it off, and went to work after getting off the boat.

After not leaving the inn for half a year, the woman seemed to be pregnant with Cao Bi's child.

At that time, Cao Bi was very happy, thinking that he could take his daughter back to his hometown to get married and live a happy life.

As a result, one day, the woman said that she wanted to go for a walk around to see the scenery.

Cao Bi took her to the surrounding mountains and forests, and finally entered Xiaosong Mountain by accident.

This Xiaosong Mountain is also strange to say, it looks like a few low mountains from a distance.

But when you walk into it, you find that the road in the forest is winding and winding, and the deeper you go, the more you will get lost in it.

At that time, Cao Bixiu was not very high, and he was still a scholar of literature and Taoism. He hadn't entered the hall yet, and he couldn't get out of the maze of mountains and monsters.

In desperation, he could only take the woman to settle down in the mountains.

As a result, this residence lasted for several years.

And in the past few years, many strange things have happened.

First of all, the woman has been pregnant for several years, but she just does not give birth.

Secondly, the vitality in this mountain is quite abundant, but Cao Bi's cultivation base seems to never be able to improve at all, and has been stagnant.

In addition, there are many wild cultivators in this mountain, but none of them wanted to help Cao Bi and the others leave the maze in the mountain.

Cao Bi guessed at the time that everything in front of him might still be caused by illusion.

So he felt that as long as he cultivated to a higher level, he could escape.

As a result, there has been no change for several years.

Until one day, the woman's stomach finally moved!

But the sad thing is that instead of giving birth, the woman's bulging abdomen gradually receded and eventually returned to its original shape. What changed along with it was the woman's appearance!

Only then did Cao Bi understand that all of this was a trap set by the woman!
No wonder he entered Xiaosong Mountain, and it was no wonder that he could not improve after so many years of cultivation. He also understood why those mountain monks turned pale and turned away when they saw him and the woman.

It turned out that it was all because of this witch.

All the fruits of my cultivation over the years have been taken as nourishment by this witch.

And the thing in the belly is not pregnant with a child at all, but the pure yang energy that the witch has not yet digested.

According to Cao Bi.

At that time, after seeing the demon girl's transformation back to her original form, he didn't even want his 'Second Brother' any more.

Although the description is very brief.

But it is enough for the three of Shen Mu to imagine that this woman's true form is a horrible existence.

This is why Shen Mu and others sympathized with Cao Bi.

You know, he hadn't been out of the inn for half a year at that time, and his heart was not broken by this experience, but it is worthy of praise for his heart and tenacity.

Originally, Cao Bi wanted to fight to the death.

But that big monster's strength, after absorbing it, has reached the peak of Longmen Realm, he is not an opponent at all.

In the end, she could only be humiliated as a tool for her to collect Yang Qi under the lustful power of the witch.

I don't know how many years of torture, Cao Bi finally cut off Qi training because of the prosperity of yin and the decline of yang.

Therefore, if he wanted to survive, he had to obey the witch's words, and like other wild cultivators in the mountains, he took a different method.

Many of the side doors do not cultivate the Dao Qi Palace, and they do not even have the Longevity Stairway.

Most of their longevity methods rely on killing to take shortcuts.

Cao Bi, who later cultivated a side door, also found the right opportunity and escaped from Xiaosong Mountain because he broke through the Sea Viewing Realm.

Until he was captured alive by Shen Mu last night.

Shen Mu kicked away Cao Bi who was hugging his thigh and weeping bitterly. He thought for a while and asked, "So, according to your opinion, this Xiaosong Mountain has a certain scale now, and has gathered a lot of mountain monks?"

Cao Bi nodded: "Yes, there are many cultivators in the Middle Martial Realm like me, and there are also some monsters with strange movements."

"So, the person at the helm of Xiaosongshan is your old...cough, that big monster?"

"So far, yes."

Shen Mu was a little strange when he heard the words: "What do you mean?"

Cao Bi: "This big monster seems to be sitting in Xiaosong Mountain, but it seems to be avoiding something, and it regularly retreats in the cave on the top of the mountain every year, but once I sneaked in to see, she is not retreating at all, but It is in the depths of the cave, and there is a mysterious cave society, and then there will be voices from the cave, like some instructions, so I think, there must be someone behind her."

Shen Mu: "So, according to your opinion, does this banshee come to Xiaosongshan for another purpose?"

Cao Bi said helplessly: "I really don't know about this. My lord, I have said everything I need to say. Please let me go. It has not been easy for me these years. If I hadn't been murdered, I wouldn't be so inhuman now." Ghost or not."

Shen Mu suddenly laughed, kicked him unconscious, and then asked Zhao Taiji to put it back in the box: "I have to take this kid with me, maybe it will be useful in Xiaosongshan."

Zhao Taiji: "My lord, don't you want to take Xiaosongshan too?"

Shen Mu shook his head: "If there are enough benefits, I can consider it. If not, I don't have so much free time, but considering that Xiaosongshan is so close to Yuncang Port, it will always be affected, so it's better to find out more .”

...

The next day.

Everyone got up early.

Finally got a good night's sleep and recovered well.

Steward Sun took the young woman and the boy out of the inn, and after casually looking at Shen Mu and the others, he said: "The road ahead is going to be urgent, the eldest lady is going back to pick up the family business, so don't delay, the next county town Don't stop here, just go around, and when we can pass the Xiaosong Mountain, we will be at the place."

The coachmen nodded in response.

Then the team set off again.

But this time it's a little different.

The old man surnamed Sun didn't let Shen Mu's ox cart continue to follow behind.

Instead, let them follow closely behind their carriage.

"Three brothers, after what happened before, the old man still feels sorry, just to be on the safe side, follow us." The old man said very sincerely.

Shen Mu looked at him, but did not refuse.

Let Li Tieniu lead the bullock cart and follow.
