Chapter 85 Wizards
In the post house, the dinner atmosphere of Xin Sheng and others became more and more enthusiastic.
The various miracles of the White Wolf God make the other merchants feel envious. After hearing that the Wolf God had gone south, they sighed even more.
Although Xin Sheng didn't tell them their experience of how the Wolf God killed the Red Lady, the Wolf God's wine alone was already worth their hype.
The other businessmen were itching and envious in their hearts as they heard.
However, although the atmosphere was lively, the red-haired woman by the window shook her head.
After sitting beside and listening for a while, the woman stood up and walked straight out after confirming that she could not hear much more useful information.
The steward standing in the distance hurriedly gathered up and obeyed the orders.
Standing at the entrance of the stairs, the red-haired woman looked back at the chatting people, thought for a while, and said, "These people's stories are interesting, so they don't have to pay for their meals tonight."
She smiled and said, "It's hard to hear such interesting stories, hahaha…"
With that, the red-haired woman laughed and left.
The steward was a little confused. Although he didn't know what happened, he waived the cost of the meals for Xin Sheng and others obediently.
The red-haired woman didn't go far after leaving the post, but walked directly into the Fire God Temple opposite the post.
She walked in the Fire God Temple like wandering in her own garden, and no one dares to stop her at all.
A quarter of an hour later, dozens of white figures soared from the Fire God Temple, turned into dozens of ethereal white smoke and disappeared into the night in the south of the city.
All the guards of the whole city are out of the city at this moment.
In the wilderness, Lu Heng found a cave with good luck. Although the space in the cave was not large, it was enough to avoid the wind.
After the campfire was lit, Xiao Ai caught a pheasant in the mountains and prepared dinner for Lord Wolf God.
As for Huo Feng, he is not interested in this kind of cooking that takes a lot of time. He took out the dry food carried in his luggage and chewed it for a while. After filling his stomach, he sat cross-legged and continued to try to gather spirit Qi in his body.
Although there is almost no effect, it is already the homework that Huo Feng has to do every day, and he has never skipped a day due to slacking off.
Lu Heng closed his eyes and continued to study the art of hiding spirit and Qi. But so far, there was still no result.
He didn't know if it was because the heavenly thunder was too special. But the research and development of the technique of hiding his spirit Qi proved much more difficult than Lu Heng thought.
He tried almost all the methods he could think of, but he never made any breakthrough.
At night, the cave was quiet, only the burning fire crackled from time to time.
Occasionally, the shrill howling of beasts will ring out from the distant forest. It is probably another battle of the jungle.
Wild beasts ravaging the barren forest, will not be quiet even at night.
Nocturnal beasts lurked in the dark mountains and forests, trying to hunt fresh prey. The night is a bloody arena for them.
Occasionally, predators will encounter a more powerful beast and turn into another's prey, swallowing its last breath in a shrill howl.
The wilderness after night is such a wild and fierce primitive world. The law of the jungle is the only one in this dark mountain forest.
And the flickering light of the bonfire in the cave will occasionally attract a couple of wandering beasts.
However, if these wild animals rampant in the mountains and forests want to get close, the little girl beside the campfire just needs a cold look, and the fierce and bloodthirsty beasts will be startled, and hurriedly flee here, never daring to get close again.
In this way, the little girl waited silently for the tranquility in the mountain, and didn't let these beasts disturb the Lord Wolf God's cultivation.
But after midnight, there was a change.
Silently, a wisp of cold air drifted outside the cave. The little girl who closed her eyes and began to cultivate suddenly opened her eyes, but she saw a pale translucent figure standing outside the cave for some time.
When the they saw each other, the translucent pale figure had no intention to hide, but arched hands at the girl and wolf by the campfire, and silently dissipated.
This strange scene made the girl a little confused.
She subconsciously stood up and wanted to go out to see what was going on.
The pale translucent figure reminded her of the ghosts she had seen before. But there are differences between the two.
The ghosts enslaved by the Red Lady are gloomy and strange, full of unpleasant cold air.
But this translucent pale figure is different. Although it was also wrapped in cold air, the overall feeling is magnificent and righteous.
But even if the other party was not evil, Xiao Ai didn't dare to ignore it.
But as soon as the little girl stood up, Huo Feng, who was near the fire, opened his mouth.
The pale figure didn't hide its breath, and Huo Feng also felt it.
Huo Feng said, "Xiao Ai, don't be nervous. That pale figure is just a wandering wizard of Baishi city."
"This wandering wizard's true body sits in the Fire God Temple, but he can use the wandering soul condensed by wish power in the temple to wander inside and outside the city to search whether the evils are hidden."
"Although it's not a powerful magic, it's pretty useful."
"This wandering incarnation is condensed by wish power, and has a strong induction ability to demons. If there are demons in the places it passes, it must be able to detect them."
"And even if this wandering incarnation is killed by the demons, it will not cause any damage to the true body of the wizard."
"Their duty is to patrol the four directions within the boundary monument of Baishi city. They may pass by here and see a fire in the cave, so come in and have a look. Don't be surprised."
Huo Feng said with a smile, "Lord Wolf God has the keepsake from Master Gong Shu Jie. This wizard must have been aware of it, so he withdrew directly."
"It knows that we are not demons, otherwise it won't be so polite."
Xiao Ai was stunned by Huo Feng's words.
It turns out that in the land under the protection of Wuzhu, there are wizards patrolling day and night, protecting the safety of people's livelihood?
Such a thing has never been heard of in the remote Hanyu mountain.
However, Xiao Ai also understands that such service is not without a cost.
Living under the protection of Wuzhu, people need to provide a fixed amount of taxes to the Fire God Temple every year. And there is unavoidable corvee to be served every year.
Therefore, there are pretty much remote villages like Shuisheng village, which are far away from the cities and are not under the protection of Wuzhu.
Most of them were built near the road not far from the boundary monument. While avoiding corvee taxes, they could also get some protection from Wuzhu.
After all, in a place not too far away from the city, even in the wild where monsters are rampant, evil spirits and demons are rarely encountered.
The existence of evil things is always rare.
