Cultivating Ghosts: There is a Pink Skull at the beginning

Chapter 360 The Outside World

The most fertile land in Dongzhou was occupied by the Zhou Dynasty for 2000 years.

In places beyond the jurisdiction of the Zhou Dynasty, small countries and villages were gradually born.

Many villages disappeared, but some villages and towns gradually became cities, and then quietly established countries.

Wei State, Lu State, Jiang Jing State, and many other countries.

Before Chen Taiyi ran away from home, there were thousands of countries in Dongzhou.

Most of these countries are located in the peripheral areas of Zhou State, some are very large, and some are very small, with only a few hundred people.

After the appearance of Guoding, Zhou Guo began to expand abroad.

There are also small countries between Zhou State and several big countries. These city-states are often crushed and absorbed very quickly.

Chen Dao Dao started from the Kingdom of Wei, away from the battles between the Zhou Kingdom and the other great powers, flew over the mountains to leave the range of the Wanmo Ridge and the Western Regions, and arrived at the fringes of the Western Regions.

Stepping on the ground, the body landed outside a wild village.

The aura here is much thinner, but there is still some.

"Rest here for one night, and then go on."

Chen Dao made a decision. Right now, Dongzhou is no longer suitable for cultivation. He must go out to find new opportunities and continue his path of longevity.

If you continue to stay in Dongzhou, I'm afraid you will soon become a victim of struggle.

Especially now that his younger brother's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, if he stays in Dongzhou, he will be "used" by the big shots in Dongzhou.

Escaping from the Sage Valley was not an easy task, but fortunately, no one thought that he would escape.

After all, Chen Daoist had a good image there, and even his master felt that this disciple could inherit the mantle.

But if Baihe Sanren or some people who used to be familiar with Chen Dao, they would understand how firm this kid's heart of seeking Tao is, and even more understand that this kid reveals a kind of indifference from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Dao took out a box and carried it on his back, and walked forward slowly like a wandering shopkeeper.

It didn't take long for barbarians near the village to notice the stranger.

The villagers went back quickly. These people thought they were hiding well, but Chen Daoist was able to detect them very clearly.

"They seem to be ordinary people. Go in and ask about things around here to see if there are any medicinal materials that can be used as medicine."

"There are very few people here, and most of the barbarians are ignorant, so it's okay to ask by the way, even if you don't have it, it won't waste time."

Chen Dao made a decision and continued walking quietly with a wooden stick like an ordinary person.

After more than ten minutes, I saw two men running over with spears and wooden axes.

One is in his 30s with a big black beard, and the other is a thin but fierce-looking old man.

When Chen Dao saw the two barbarians running over, he immediately stopped and looked at them vigilantly with a wooden stick.

The two barbarians stopped quickly and stood five or six meters away from Chen Dao, looking at him.

"Who are you?" The old man looked at Chen Daoist, confused by Chen Daoist's appearance, and felt that he was not a bad person.

Both Chen Daoist and Chen Taiyi are handsome men, and Chen Daoist seems to be a good and upright person.

Chen Taiyi is the smart and cute kind.

The two brothers are the types that are easy to get close to or believe in, and they are both very deceptive in appearance.

Chen Daoist saluted solemnly, "Two strong men, I am Chen Dalang, a wandering peddler passing by. I have salt, iron needles, painkillers, crotons and other medicinal materials on me. I want to exchange them for furs or other valuables."

"In addition to these, I also have some medical skills. I can see some superficial diseases, even the elderly and children."

As soon as Chen Dao finished speaking, the two barbarians quickly put down their guard.

One is that Chen Dao Dao doesn't look like a bad guy, and the other is that the village respects people who can cure diseases very much.

"So it's a pharmacist. I'll take you into the village. There are dozens of families in our village. I'll help you ask who wants to see a doctor and buy something."

The old man no longer held the ax in both hands, but led Chen Dao Dao with the ax in one hand.

"This is my son's belly." The old man introduced his son, who also relaxed his guard and smiled at Chen Dao.

Chen Dao said politely: "Okay, I'll just disturb you all night."

The old man quickly walked beside Chen Dao Dao, and said enthusiastically: "We haven't seen outsiders in this village for five or six years. Last time, we entertained a few hunters who went wrong. Those people said I'll come back again, and I haven't seen him again until now."

Chen Dadao comforted: "The road here is not easy to travel, and the family can live a stable life. They don't want to go out to do business, and they don't go so far for hunting."

The old man sighed, "Yeah, it's really not peaceful here. There is a young man in our village named Erdan. He was going to catch fish in the nearby water. Who knew that he got lost a while ago and didn't see anyone for a few days. Lidu started to do things for him, and he came back in the end."

Chen Dao said: "It's good to be able to come back, this is a great fortune."

What the old man wanted to say was obviously not a happy thing, and he sighed: "How can there be such a great blessing, Erdan, who came back, went crazy, and everyone in the village said he was possessed by a demon, the little master will see if he is ill. meeting?"

Chen Dao felt that this was not an ordinary thing, and said frankly: "I also know some methods of preventing ghosts. I often walk outside, and I must have some methods of exorcising ghosts and demons."

The old man was overjoyed immediately, "Okay! I'll take you to his house right now, and I'll also show it to mine by the way. I always feel uneasy when I sleep lately."

"Okay." Chen Dao agreed steadily.

Zhang Duo soon went to the village to shout. The people in this village were very close to each other. It didn't take long for the whole village to get out of the hole in the hut.

Chen Dadao found that the people here are very short, there are almost no ones who are 1.7 meters high, and most of the men are around 1.6 meters, or even 1.5 meters.

Women are also a head shorter than Jiangdong's, generally around 1.4 meters [-], or even shorter.

Under the explanation of the old man and the man, everyone knew that the handsome and mighty man in front of him was a doctor.

There was no other entertainment in the village, and everyone quickly followed Chen Daode to a hut.

As soon as Chen Dao approached here, he felt a gust of wind blowing.

"Stand back, there is a monster here!"

Everyone in the village was at a loss and stood there for a while, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, a black figure suddenly rushed out from the dark and damp low house.

This black shadow is a man with disheveled hair and four limbs on the ground.

There was a roar from his mouth, and he was about to crawl out of the village after his body came out.

Chen Daoist was even faster, and soon stepped on his back.

It was like stepping on a big mouse that came out of a hole.

Everyone in the village was terrified by this man who looked like a human but crawled on his hands and feet.

"Is this a dog egg? He is really possessed by a ghost!"

"It's a monster! It must be a monster!"

Chen Dao felt that the man under his feet had a brute force, so he quickly squatted down and put his head on the ground with his hands.

"Is this what he looks like when he comes back? Did he hurt anyone?"

Chen Dao felt that this was not a powerful monster, and wanted to investigate the source of this man's monster.

The old man said in horror: "We don't know that! After he came back, he hid in this house and didn't go out. There seems to be no shortage of people in the village. Let's see if there are any people in the house..."

The old man's words caused panic, and soon every household started counting their own people.

Chen Dao asked, "Aren't his parents here?"

The old man cried: "How can he have parents? There was a catastrophe in our area more than ten years ago. There was no food in the mountains, and the water was dry. At that time, no child survived for a year."

"If I didn't know how to hunt, I would have died at that time. It was hard for everyone to survive."

Chen Dao didn't want to hear this, so he interrupted the old man's memory and said, "If his parents are dead, how did he survive?"

The old man was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said: "His parents and the people who died of starvation in the village were all thrown into the stagnant water behind the mountain. If we have a stutter, we don't go to fish in the stagnant water, but he has used it since he was a child." Go there and get something to eat."

"We don't care about him, so we don't care. He looked normal before, but this time he came back and stopped talking, crazy."

The nearby villagers also expressed emotion and sadness, and some fell silent.

In this world, only some fertile areas can guarantee a good harvest every year, and many places in the frontier are actually not suitable for survival, and there is not so much output.

Either the environment is harsh, or it is fickle.

Sometimes a disaster can wipe out all traces of local human activity.

Hunger is the most normal and most helpless disaster in these places.

Whenever the harvest is bad and wild animals in the mountains will starve to death, there may not be a single baby in the dozens of nearby villages and towns.

With the desire to survive, it is not surprising to do anything.

Chen Dao frowned and looked at the man under his feet, "Can you understand what I said? Tell me now, what's your name?"

The man's mouth was still full of wow, and the next moment, the originally chaotic roar suddenly became clear.

"Wow ~ wow ~ woo wow ~"

A weak but clear piercing voice sounded like a baby.

The nearby villagers were a little scared, and looked at the humanoid monster with human voices in horror.

Chen Dao scolded: "Monster!"

He jumped out of the man suddenly, and when his body fell to the ground, there was already a talisman with strange symbols in his hand.

After breaking free from the restraints on his body, the possessed man did not flee directly, but lay down on the spot, continuing to make weird baby sounds with his mouth open.

"Wow ~ wow ~ woo wow ~"

Chen Dao frowned, and couldn't think of the reason for a while.

The nearby villagers saw the man's appearance at this time. Under the messy long greasy hair, they could see a pair of green eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

"Wow~Wow~Wow~" The monster opened its mouth hard and made a baby sound.

Its voice began to grow noisier, louder.

The old man shouted eagerly: "Kill this monster quickly! Does it want to attract monsters?!"

The nearby villagers became even more anxious. At this time, no one regarded this man as a human being.

From the strange behavior before to the appearance of this monster now, everyone thinks it is a monster!
"kill him!"

"Kill him! Get rid of this monster!"

"Get out! Get out!"

"This damn monster, we kindly give you food, I'm really blind and feed you this monster!"

Chen Dao suddenly noticed something, and while listening to the human being making a baby voice, he looked at the other side of the room.

At this time, after concentrating on the blessing of mana, Chen Daoist could clearly see what was in the low, dark room not far away.

In the messy and smelly thatched hut like a kennel, in addition to mud and urine, there were some rotten fruits, vegetables, sweet potatoes and leaves like branches.

"Wow~Wow~Wow~" The monster's voice became more anxious and harsher.

The ears of the villagers were pierced by the monster's roar, and soon some people couldn't help but took up weapons.

Chen Dao realized that as long as these villagers took up arms, they would quickly become perpetrators.

If it was a normal monster, there would be nothing wrong with it, but now this monster made Chen Dao feel weird.

"Wait a minute!" Chen Dao stopped the villagers who were about to attack, and unbuttoned the back box under the surprised eyes of the people around him.

Chen Da Dao prepared some disguised things this time, including water and bread that a normal traveler would carry.

He quickly took out a piece of dry and hard bread from the cloth bag, and under the nervous gaze of the rest, he approached the monster.

The monster was still crying, but when it sensed the food approaching, it stopped crying very quickly.

Da Dao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and was even more sure that the monster was not calling for its companions, but that it was crying like that because it knew from somewhere that the cry of a human baby would attract human feeding.

He didn't cry before, probably because the food was abundant recently, and he was a villager, so the rest of the village gave him some food.

On the premise that there was food in his belly, the human being possessed by a demon maintained restraint, followed his instinct and began to wait for the meal.

Chen Dao put the bread in front of the man, poured water into a clay bowl, and took a few steps back.

Soon the man started eating quietly like an animal.

"This person has been possessed by a demon, and he cannot be rescued." Chen Dao looked at this person's body and said affirmatively, "I will rest here for one night today, and when I leave tomorrow, I will take him away from here and go back to a faraway place." Where he doesn’t come, let him fend for himself.”

Chen Dao looked at the rest of the people, "If you have clothes and food for him, prepare them. I will take them on the road tomorrow, and I will treat everyone here today, and there will be no charge."

Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man said directly: "That's how it is. We are all from the same village. The Erdan child has been pitiful since he was a child. I didn't expect that he would still be able to escape. If he didn't get married and left a baby, he would suffer."

Chen Daoda didn't talk nonsense, and then began to diagnose people in the village, and exchanged the rare iron needles and laxatives in the village for some medicinal furs.

The rest of the people also took edible wild vegetables and clean fruits in return, and the full Erdan became extraordinarily honest.

The next day, Chen Dao left this wild village with Er Dan.

Only he knew that this bastard was not possessed by a demon, nor did he eat something unclean, but that the blood of the demon in his body had been revived.

"It's a long road, and it's good to have one more companion. You will be my disciple from now on." Chen Daoist looked at the unconscious bastard seriously, "I think you are extremely powerful. From now on, you will be called Wanli."
