Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 54: Shushan disciples, the evil ghosts show their teeth!

It was evening.

It's getting dark.

On a fairly wide hardstone road.

Two men, one tall and one short, one strong and one thin, were walking quickly on the road.

The short figure was the transformation of the sparrow monster snake. He looked middle-aged, not tall, with two small mustaches on his mouth. Although he was not thin, he looked smaller than the tall and strong Qi Hu next to him.

As for Qi Hu, he was tall and strong, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looked fresh and handsome, just like the handsome guy in his previous life, except that he was not as tall or strong as he is now.

He is just dressed like a snake eater, and looks like a businessman.

The young and handsome Qi Hu walked beside him, and he seemed like his nephew. People would believe that they were his son or his father.

It seemed that he was a generation shorter than before, which was something Qi Hu did not expect.

But he didn't care either.

As they approached the city gate with some mortals carrying families, pushing carts, and carrying things on their shoulders, the snake-eater suddenly approached and whispered, "Qishan Jun, don't talk or ask questions for a while. Just follow me and do what I say."

"it is good"

Looking at the four characters "Western Liang Women's Kingdom" written above the city gate in the distance, Qi Hu nodded.

Snake Eater has been to the Kingdom of Women many times, and he believes in Snake Eater.

It’s almost time for the city gates to close.

Many people were in a hurry to get into the city.

There was a long line in front of the door.

Qi Hu stood behind the Snake Eater and after some observation he found that he only saw people entering the city and almost no one leaving the city.

I was about to ask a question, but then I understood.

This is not the previous life. This world is not short of monsters and demons.

After all, he himself is a monster.

It’s okay to travel on the avenue during the day, but at night, all kinds of things will probably come out.

Waited patiently for a while.

Finally it was Shishe and Qihu's turn.

There are three city gates under the huge city tower in front of you, the largest main gate in the middle, and two small gates next to it.

But the small door on the far right was closed, leaving only the big door in the middle and the small door on the left.

There are two groups of gatekeepers.

One group is soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons, including female soldiers. They all have rough looks, tall stature, and are strong and sturdy. They are covered with thorns and armor, and look very intimidating.

This made Qi Hu, who was looking forward to seeing a group of beautiful female soldiers in various poses, a little disappointed.

But it’s normal if you think about it carefully.

Shishe had said before that in Xiliang country women are superior to men, and men can generally only stay in the outer city and cannot even enter the inner city.

The female soldiers on duty at the outermost layer are naturally tall and mighty, so as to intimidate everyone.

The effect is really good.

At least Qi Hu didn't have any thoughts after seeing it, and his filter for the Kingdom of Women was beginning to fade.

The second group is next to the small door on the left, with a long desk.

There were three people behind the desk. A male monk in a blue robe sat in the middle, and two female monks in white robes stood on both sides.

As the female soldier checked in front of the gate, she saw Shishe and Qi Hu.

The blue-robed male monk behind the desk suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Qi Hu and Shi She, and immediately said, "Wait!"

When the immortal stationed at the Shushan Immortal Gate spoke, the female soldiers guarding the gate immediately reacted.

"Whoa Whoah"

The female soldiers on both sides changed their expressions, and immediately stood with spears in their hands, blocking the way to the city gate.

The solemn sound of metallic weapons clashing immediately made the crowd in front of the city gate nervous.

Looking at the snake in front of him, he didn't move.

Although Qi Hu was extremely alert at that moment, he did not take any other action.

The male monk at the side said, "You two, come to this side of the path."

Only then did Shishe take Qi Hu to the side.

Snake Eater came forward, and suddenly a wooden box appeared in his hand. He walked forward and said with a smile: "Why don't you see Li Fang and Li Daoyou? We are from Jindou Mountain in the east, and we often come here to buy some wine and supplies."

As Snake spoke, he handed over the wooden box without any expression.

The blue-robed monk also took the wooden box quietly and said calmly, "So you two know my Senior Brother Li. Senior Brother Li has to go back to the sect for some business. I am Chen Xiang, and I will take over Senior Brother Li's position for the next few years."

When the snake-eater was greeting the blue-robed monk.

Qi Hu, who was standing behind him, was also looking at the three people in front of him who were rumored to be monks from the Shushan Immortal Sect.

Both female cultivators were very young, one was pretty, the other was average looking, their cultivation was slightly weaker, both were below the spiritual realm.

However, according to what Snake Eater told him, the human race calls the Spirit Awakening Realm the Qi Refining Realm, and the Spirit Communication Realm the Foundation Building Realm.

The two women in front of me are at the Qi Refining level.

The young male cultivator in the middle who was greeting the Snake Eater and casting his gaze upon him from time to time was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but judging from his aura, he should be in the initial stage of Foundation Establishment.

But don’t think that there are only these three monks from Shushan stationed in the Western Liang Kingdom of Women.

Having talked with the Snake Eater, he knew very well that there seemed to be Yuandan realm cultivators here. In the words of the Snake Eater, there were great Jindan realm cultivators of the human race stationed here all year round, and there were more than one.

Quickly detected the cultivation level of the three ethnic cultivators.

Qi Hu no longer paid attention and looked around.

But he didn't know.

The two female cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage retreated to the back and were watching him and the Snake Eater whispering.

"My brother's demon-detecting stone just lit up. These two are definitely monsters."

"I noticed that, too. Look carefully at the old man. Doesn't he look a little strange?"

"The young one looked pretty good, but I don't know what kind of monster he was."

"I heard from my master that appearance is determined by the heart, but I don't know if it's the same for monsters."

"Whatever, I'd like to know what species these two monsters are and what their abilities are."

"Just wait until they leave and ask Senior Brother. He will definitely know."

When the two female disciples were whispering to each other.

The snake-eater and the male monk in front had almost finished their greetings.

"Since we visit each other frequently, I won't elaborate on the rules."

After recording the information of the two demons, Snake and Qihu, the male monk Chen Xiang put down the ink pen in his hand, looked at Snake and said, "It's fine for you two to do business normally in Xiliang Country, but if you cause trouble..."

Chen Xiang didn't finish his words.

Snake immediately interrupted and said with a smile: "Understood, we have always followed the rules and we will definitely follow the rules."

Hear this.

The male monk Chen Xiang said no more and gestured to the small door beside him, saying, "You can leave now."

The Snake Eater then called out to Qi Hu, and the two monsters walked quickly towards the city.

Watching the two figures go away.

The two female Qi-refining disciples at the back immediately stepped forward and asked, "Brother, what were those two monsters just now?"

Male monk Chen Xiang: "The old one should be a sparrow that has become a spirit. As for the young one..."

At this point, Chen Xiang shook his head and said, "Senior brother can't tell either."

"Even senior brother can't see it?" the female cultivator asked curiously.

"What's weird about this"

Chen Xiang shook his head and smiled, "Those monsters that can transform into humans must have reached the foundation-building stage at least. The old one's cultivation is comparable to your senior brother, but the young one should be stronger than me."

"What if they cause trouble?"

"Don't worry about that. We have our uncle and the formation. These monsters can't cause any trouble."

"Brother, I just saw you collecting that monster's things."

"Junior sister, let me tell you, this is the benefit of coming outside to gain experience."

Qi Hu naturally had no idea of ​​the arrangements that the Shushan disciples would make toward him and the Snake Eater.

Walk into the tall city gate.

Then he saw a large number of people coming and going, a lot of lights, and a large number of vendors of various kinds passing by on both sides of the city gate, and noisy hawking sounds one after another.

It feels like coming to a large vegetable market.

Further ahead is a long street with densely packed shops on both sides, leading all the way to the inner city wall in the distance.

Looking at Qi Hu's dazed look.

Snake thought it was the first time he saw such a prosperous scale in the human world and was shocked, so he smiled and said: "This is a view that we can't see on the mountain. Let's go. The outer city is also very lively at night. I'll take you around."

Hear the words of the snake eater.

Only then did Qi Hu come back to his senses.

He was indeed shocked by the scene before him, but not stunned.

After all, I have seen all kinds of scenes in my previous life.

Instead, thirteen years passed in a flash, and he suddenly saw a very familiar scene in the human world, which inevitably made him recall his past life.

But everything in the past life has become the past.

shook his head.

Qi Hu smiled and said, "Indeed, our mountain is not so prosperous. This time I have broadened my horizons."

Following the snake, they walked towards the city. At this time, two half-grown boys in thin clothes jumped out and shouted to the two demons: "My lords, is this your first time here? We can lead the way for you."

"Go! Go! Go"

But before they could say anything, Snake immediately waved his hand and said, "We don't need it."

After driving away the two children, the Snake said, "Many of these human children are liars. I have been deceived before. Qi Shanjun, be careful if you encounter them in the future."

Qi Hu nodded and said, "I see."

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "Snake Food, before at the city gate, I saw you give something to that Shushan disciple?"

Snake Eater: "Well, there are two magical herbs in it, one for you and one for me. This is the fee for entering the city."

Upon hearing this, Qi Hu was about to return it to the snake.

The snake eater shook his head and smiled, "It's just a spiritual medicine that's less than five years old. Qi Shanjun, don't take it to heart. By the way, Qi Shanjun, do you know what people in the human world use to exchange for things?"

"What."

Although he knew it in his heart, Qi Hu acted very well and said with a smile: "I know it is definitely not a magic medicine."

Snake nodded and said, "These are the ones."

As he spoke, a small piece of silver and two gold beans appeared in his hand.

Explained it to Qi Hu.

Then, the snake said: "There is not much gold and silver left from the last exchange. Let's go and exchange some first."

Qi Hu understood immediately: "What do you want to exchange for? Maybe a magical medicine?"

Snake nodded: "Yes"

Half an hour later.

Qi Hu followed the snake out of an alley.

Looking at Qi Hu, who was touching his purse without saying a word, Shishe laughed and said, "What is Qi Shanjun thinking about?"

Qi Hu shook the heavy money bag in his hand and said with a smile: "This time I have really broadened my horizons."

The snake said with a smile: "There are more monsters hiding in Xiliang Women's Country than you and I imagined. As long as we find them, we can save a lot of trouble."

"Now that the human race's money has been exchanged, I'm going to take Qi Shanjun to have some fun."

Speaking of it.

Snake suddenly grinned.

Qi Hu saw this and immediately had a bad feeling, because when he was on Jindou Mountain before, his elder brother Changya had the same expression when he mentioned the female bull demon, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's the fun?"

The snake-eater immediately laughed and said, "Just follow me. How can I deceive Qi Shanjun?"

Having said that, Qi Hu didn't ask any more questions, so he followed Snake Eater towards the most prosperous street.

Not long after.

As Qi Hu was walking, he suddenly smelled a fragrant breeze.

The fragrance was strong and pungent. Qi Hu's nose was extremely sensitive now, and he immediately felt uncomfortable and shook his head violently.

"Hey, it's always like this for the first time."

Looking at Qi Hu's appearance beside him, Shishe immediately smiled and pointed to the front and said, "It's right in front."

At this time, the not-so-wide street was already bustling and noisy, with a constant flow of people.

Qi Hu immediately looked up and saw that the road ahead was even more congested. The street was full of men of all ages, each of them craning their necks to look up at a three-story building in front of them that was brightly lit.

Qi Hu looked up and saw several young girls standing on the outer railing of the high-rise building. They were wearing scanty clothes, showing their white and tender arms and thighs. They were waving handkerchiefs in a childish voice and shouting to the people below: "Come and play, uncle!"

"Master, come up quickly. I have some beautiful treasures for you to see."

"Look here, sir."

"Master, come up quickly"

In the environment of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom where women are superior to men, how could a group of low-class men resist such blatant seduction and hawking?

"really."

Looking at the magnificent scene ahead, Qi Hu knew that his guess was correct.

The snake-eating guy really brought him to the seafood market.

"hey-hey."

Seeing Qi Hu's look, Shishe laughed and said, "How can the women here compare to those in our mountain?"

"It just so happens that the restaurant we are going to is closed at this time and will not open until tomorrow. Let's go, Qi Shanjun, let's enjoy the night here."

As he said this, Shishe was about to pull Qi Hu forward.

Qi Hu smiled and shook his head and said, "Snake Eater, I would like to go, but you know, I can't have fun here."

Hearing Qi Hu's words, Shishe was slightly stunned, and then reacted: "Yes, Qi Shanjun is different from me. With Qi Shanjun's current strong physique, how can an ordinary human woman withstand his impact."

Although it may not seem very friendly to think this way, it is the fact.

So the snake could only smile and say: "Sorry, Qi Shanjun, I didn't think of this."

Qi Hu smiled and shook his head: "Nothing, Snake Eater, go and have fun by yourself, I also want to go for a walk, how about I come here to find you tomorrow morning?"

Snake nodded: "That's it."

soon.

After saying goodbye to Qi Hu, Snake walked quickly towards the brightly lit seafood market.

Watching the snake being welcomed in by the enthusiastic madam.

Qi Hu turned and left.

Opening a brothel in a country where women are respected and men are inferior is indeed a huge business.

But Qi Hu was not interested in this.

He is now a leader in the Spiritual Realm, which means he is in the Foundation Establishment Stage according to the realm of human cultivators. How could he go to a brothel to find women, let alone a brothel in the mortal world?

Exit the street where the seafood market is located.

Qi Hu was just about to go forward to try the snacks of this world, but suddenly he found that there seemed to be two people hanging far behind him.

"Hey"

"I don't want to cause trouble, but if trouble comes to me, it's not my fault."

Qi Hu reacted instantly and grinned, then pretended to cover his stomach and walked quickly towards a dark and narrow street.

"Follow up quickly!"

"Did that kid discover us? Or is he trying to run?"

"Don't worry too much. I just thought the fat sheep was gone, but it turns out that this guy didn't go to that brothel to play with women. It's not our fault."

"This kid is strong and might be a little difficult to handle. For safety's sake, go call your brothers and I'll follow you."

The two sneaky figures quickly separated, one turned around and left, and the other followed Qi Hu into the alley.

The alley was dark.

Liu Bin quickly turned into the alley and saw a tall figure in front of him holding his stomach and walking into the darkness, so he hurriedly followed.

He had seen the sturdy young man playing with the purse in his hand before. With his eyesight, the purse alone was worth a lot of money. As for the money inside, it was probably at least fifty or sixty taels. If it contained valuable things, it would be even more. If he could succeed this time, it would be worth more than ten times the usual amount.
Liu Bin's heart was burning with excitement. He carefully hid in the darkness and followed quickly.

But as he walked, he suddenly realized something was wrong. The boy was gone.

"It doesn't make sense."

Liu Bin drew out the dagger from his waist and moved carefully in the dark alley with his eyes wide open.

"Are you looking for me?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Liu Bin's ears. Liu Bin subconsciously turned around and saw a terrifying monster standing behind him. It was taller than the roof, with a hideous face and a bloody mouth, looking at him quietly.

For an instant.

Liu Bin suddenly opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth, and without saying a word, he fell backwards.

Looking at the pale shadow with a dull face emerging from the fallen body, the pale shadow looked exactly like the fallen man.

Qi Hu was stunned: "Did he scare himself to death?"

But looking at the dull soul emerging from the other person, Qi Hu had no choice but to admit it.

Immediately, Qi Hu felt a surge of hunger in his heart. It was not that he was hungry, but that he was longing for the magical power "Ghost".

"You want to capture this mortal who was frightened to death by you and use him as your accomplice?"

Looking at the soul in front of him, Qi Hu subconsciously resisted, but he couldn't help but think that he would be staying in the human world for a long time. With such a special local talent following him, many things would be much easier.

Moreover, the life and death of the ghosts is in the control of one's own thoughts. If they are useless, just kill them directly. Moreover, the energy consumed in controlling such mortal ghosts is almost negligible.

Apart from your own face, it is completely beneficial with no harm.

Thinking of this.

Qi Hu did not delay any longer, fearing that he would be found by the underworld if he continued any longer, so he immediately opened his bloody mouth and sucked the soul in front of him into his mouth.

But soon.

Qi Hu opened his mouth again and spit out a blurry figure, which looked exactly like the corpse lying on the ground. However, this time the face of the shadow was much clearer and more vivid than the previous dull soul.

"Owner."

As soon as the phantom stood firm, it turned around and bowed to Qi Hu.

Qi Hu didn't say anything, just looked at the other person's faint and trembling figure, then opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of spiritual energy.

Impacted by the spiritual energy, the kneeling shadow suddenly became much more solid.

“It’s right here.”

"Brother Bin has already followed."

"That kid can't run away."

Just then, a sound suddenly came from the alley in the distance.
