We are cannon fodder, and we are leading the way in cultivating immortals.

Chapter 48 The harming fox monster
It was late at night when they left Luoxia Valley. The three of them flew in the air for a long time, and it was not until dawn that they finally found a town to stay.

As soon as Wen Xiangyi stepped into the town, she felt that it was very weird. As for what was weird, she couldn't tell.

If I have to give a reason, I can only say that this place is lifeless and quiet, as if there are no living people living there.

This town is neither too big nor too small. It seems that only mortals live there. Normally it would have become lively at this time, but here it is unusually quiet. Most of the shops on both sides of the street are closed, even for breakfast. The shops were not open either.

If it weren't for the lanterns still lit on the street and the occasional person or two passing by in a hurry, Wen Xiangyi would have doubted whether he had entered a ghost town by mistake.

They walked for a long time without finding an open inn. The only one open was a funeral shop.

And they also noticed that many houses on this street had white lanterns and white silk hanging at the door.

Generally, hanging them like this means that the family is having a funeral, but there are so many white lanterns and white silk hanging on a street, which makes it look very strange.

The three of them took it together and decided to go to the funeral shop manager to inquire about the situation in the town. Unexpectedly, just as they were about to walk over, the shopkeeper looked like he had seen a ghost and was so frightened that he quickly closed the door.

Wen Xiangyi stepped forward and blocked the door, smiling at him, "Shopkeeper, why are you closing the door and not seeing any customers?"

When the shopkeeper saw that his wooden door was stuck, his face turned pale with fear and he shook off the chaff.

He quickly knelt down and kowtowed a few times, "Hu Daxian, please have mercy on me, Hu Daxian, please have mercy on me! The little old man has no children or daughters at home, and he is alone! Please go to another house to see Hu Daxian!"

The three of them were stunned by this series of operations. Ling Lan frowned and bent down to help him up. The shopkeeper was even more frightened when he looked at his face and almost fell to the ground unable to get up. Come.

Jiang Shaobai thought for a moment, and raised his cold brows slightly, "We are not the Hu Daxian you said, we are immortal cultivators who slay demons and demons."

The shopkeeper was startled for a moment, then raised his head suddenly, his voice trembling, "Seriously?"

Wen Xiangyi showed a gentle smile and helped him up, "Don't be afraid, shopkeeper, we are serious immortal cultivators and we will not harm others."

Ling Lan also smiled and said, "We are disciples of the Chongyun Sect Sword Sect. We happened to be passing by here and wanted to take a rest. If we wanted to harm others, would we still listen to you talking so much?"

After hearing this, the shopkeeper quietly observed the three of them and saw that they had gentle smiles and were carrying swords behind their backs, and his expressions softened slightly.

Then he bowed and gave a big salute to the three of them, "It turned out to be the Fairy and Tao Lord of the Chongyun Sect. It was just the old man who was rude."

"Shopkeeper, is it possible that the Hu Daxian you just mentioned is a fox demon?" Wen Xiangyi asked.

As soon as the shopkeeper heard the word "Fox Demon", he started to tremble again. He quickly invited the three people into the house, and after closing the door tightly, he said in a lower voice, "Fairy, please keep your voice down, that Fox Demon is often in the town." Haunting, if she hears it, it will be a big deal!"

Jiang Shaobai's frown deepened and he said in a deep voice, "It's just a fox demon. If she dares to show up and harm anyone, we will kill her on the spot."

The shopkeeper didn't speak, just sighed and shook his head. It's not that no immortals had come to their town before, and they also said they would help get rid of the demon, but in the end they all died at the hands of the fox demon.

And because of this incident, the fox demon became even more aggressive, going to the town to kill anyone who was unhappy.

He has been closed for more than half a month. If Dr. Zhang's family on West Street hadn't sent someone to tell him to pick up things today, he wouldn't have opened the door.

After all, not making money is only a small matter, but if you meet a fox demon and lose your life, it is a big deal!When Wen Xiangyi saw this, he knew that the fox demon had caused a great psychological shadow on the shopkeeper. After Wen Sheng comforted him for a few words, he continued, "Shopkeeper, please tell us everything about the town from beginning to end. This way we can plan how to get rid of this fox demon."

The shopkeeper nodded and hurriedly invited the three of them to sit down in the back room. After pouring them a cup of tea, he started talking about what happened in the town.

Perhaps because of the shock, his hands were still shaking so much that he spilled the tea on the floor.

What happened in the town was actually very simple. In short, it was the story of a fox demon who was deceived into his feelings, and then turned evil and went on a killing spree.

The incident happened three years ago. Xu Song, the eldest son of Shopkeeper Xu of the East Street Rice Shop, came back from doing business in other places and brought back a young woman named Hu Yu'er.

Hu Yu'er looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. She was extremely beautiful, with skin as white as snow, a willow-thin waist, and a pair of eyes like hooks. A casual glance could make a man's body tingle.

Xu Song, perhaps intending to show off, did not let Hu Yu'er ride in the carriage, but carried her for a swaggering walk down the long street. This caused quite a sensation.

But Xu Song had a family, so everyone thought he wanted to take Hu Yu'er as his concubine.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the Xu family, he announced that he would divorce his first wife and marry Hu Yu'er.

Although his first wife was an orphan, she had a strong temper and committed suicide by hanging from a beam that night.

The Xu family were all fascinated by Hu Yu'er, and they hastily arranged a funeral for their original wife. They arranged to carry her in just after the first seven days.

I thought that the matter would be over, but Gao Bing, the uneducated third son of the mayor's family, fell in love with Hu Yu'er.

Gao Bing thought about Hu Yuer day and night, so he coerced the Xu family and asked Xu Song to divorce Hu Yuer.

Xu Song was reluctant at first, but as time went on, he couldn't stand it anymore. In addition, Gao Bing specially sent him several beauties, so he finally relented reluctantly.

However, he was not divorcing his wife but planned to send Hu Yu'er to Gao Bing's house, stay with him for a few days and then take her back.

After all, Hu Yu'er was so charming and seductive that he couldn't bear to part with her.

Gao Bing agreed, and the two of them worked together to stun Hu Yu'er with sweat medicine, and then secretly sent her to Gao's mansion.

Unexpectedly, Hu Yuer woke up as soon as she arrived at Gaofu, and revealed her true form. She was a white fox with two tails!

She killed Gao Bing's family, and when she returned to the Xu Mansion, she found that Xu Song was having an affair with two beauties. In a rage, she killed everyone in the Xu family, and disemboweled Xu Song in the street, eating his heart. !

Since then, the fox demon has come to the town to kill people from time to time. She especially likes to kill grooms in other people's bridal chambers.

Now she is no longer satisfied with killing the groom. Instead, she selects a daughter of a family every once in a while, and asks that family to send the daughter to the mountain in marriage and then kill her.

At the beginning, their town was not only populated by mortals, there were also some monks who cultivated their bodies with pseudo-spiritual roots.

They were all as strong as bulls and powerful, but without exception, they were all killed by the fox demon and their entrails were eaten.
