Journey to the West: Asking the Heavens

Chapter 175 Lan Ruo
King Jing didn't know about exorcising hundreds of demons with a flick of a finger, but Daoren Zhang, who is also a practitioner, could see clearly.

He had a more intuitive understanding of Mo Yuan's strength in his heart, and he was more confident about the next trip to Kyoto.

In the early morning of the second day, everyone left from Hezhong City. Compared with the caravan escorted by more than a hundred people when they came, this time, there were only about [-] people left by King Jing, and the team was reduced by more than half.

In that attack and killing battle, although Mo Yuan and Zhang Daoren fought successively, the assassins were numerous and powerful after all, and such damage was not enough.

Regardless of Hezhong County Sheriff's persuasion, Prince Jing's team all rode fast horses, let the horses gallop when they left the city gate, and galloped towards the north, but it was His Royal Highness who was worried about the death of the old Heavenly Master. , There was an accident in Kyoto, and it was like an arrow to return.

Kyoto is more than a thousand miles away from the river, and even if you take the official road quickly, it will take five days without sleep.

Along the way, Mo Yuan could see what is called the end of the dynasty. Originally, he thought that Hezhong County was so miserable only because of the floods, but in these lands without floods, the lives of the people were extremely difficult.

On the official road, hordes of refugees dragged their families and headed towards the capital, ghosts and ghosts mixed in, eating people and drinking blood from time to time, and there were even more bandits and robbers.

Even the second prince's team of more than [-] imperial guards riding in the palace was attacked by robbers several times, and even some monsters made plans, but they were all dismissed by these imperial guards and Taoist Zhang.

On this day, when the sun was setting in the west and the sky was dim, everyone dismounted slowly, and the prince who served King Jing said, "Your Highness, it's getting late, shall we go to the city to rest, or sleep in the wild?"

If a person does not rest, the horse must also rest, and the horse cannot bear to continue on the road.

King Jing said: "Is there a city ahead? If so, let's go to the city to rest. Everyone must be tired after driving for three days."

"Seven miles ahead is Guobei County, Your Highness, do you want this old slave to inform the county magistrate to prepare in advance?" Wang Gonggong replied.

Guo Beicheng!
Mo Yuan in the horse team heard this name, and his heart moved!
"No need, let's go directly to the city and find an inn to rest, and we have to hurry tomorrow morning, there is no need to disturb the county magistrate!" Jing Wang refused.

In his capacity, the county magistrate learned that a grand welcome banquet was indispensable, and he had no time to waste time with a small county magistrate.

"Hurry up, everyone, and rest in the city ahead!"

King Jing yelled, and he rode forward at the head of the horse, and everyone followed up with their horses. After a while, they arrived at the gate of Guobei City.

A group of more than [-] people, each riding a steed, is extraordinary, and the gatekeepers who are used to exploiting merchants did not dare to make things difficult. They checked the road guides and let them into the city.

Everyone searched for the best inn in the city, and rushed there. After they settled down, the sky had already darkened.

After finishing the meal, Mo Yuan came to Daoren Zhang's door, knocked on the door and said, "Friend Zhang, I want to ask you something, can I go in?"

"Mr. Mo please come in quickly!"

Zhang Daoren's voice came from the room, Mo Yuan opened the door casually, but saw the Taoist meditating.

When he saw Mo Yuan coming in, he hurriedly got up and bowed. After the two of them saw the ceremony, he said in doubt: "Mr. Mo, with your morality and deeds, do you have anything to ask the poor Taoist for advice?"

Mo Yuan smiled and said, "I'm alone, so I don't have as much experience as the Heavenly Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain. I hope fellow Taoists will give me some advice."

"Don't dare, Mr. Mo just ask, as long as it doesn't involve the secrets of the Tianshi's mansion, the poor will naturally know everything." Daoren Zhang expressed his position.

Now he is still pointing at Mo Yuan to avenge his master, so he dare not offend him.

Mo Yuan immediately asked: "I wonder if there are any records about the four great monsters in the underworld in the Tianshi Mansion?"

"The four great demon kings of the underworld?"

Daoren Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "There are records, after the great change of the world a hundred years ago, the gods disappeared, and the underworld was in chaos. Among them, there were four demons who were the most tyrannical, and divided the underworld. For four yuan, it is rumored that they are all powerful existences at the peak of Yuanshen, one step away from true immortals."

"Fellow daoist, please explain in detail!" Mo Yuan said.

Zhang Taoist nodded, and said: "The four great demon kings, the one who controls the Eastern Region is the old Black Mountain Demon, with a mysterious origin and powerful mana, and no one in the world knows what it is; the one in the Western Region is a monkey monster called Jin. Eye demon king, with his supernatural powers, the scarlet golden pupil, has the power to destroy the world!"

"The one occupying the southern region is the Red Chain Demon Lord. His pair of fangs are extremely poisonous. It is said that even the real immortals are no match for him; while the Northern Territory is ruled by the Black Tiger Demon Lord. Among the four monarchs, he is the weakest. , the smallest area."

"It turns out that these are the four great demon kings of the underworld."

Mo Yuan's eyes flashed, and he said: "Zhang Daoyou, I don't know if you dare to go with me to experience the power of the old black mountain demon in the Eastern Region?"

……

"Xiaoqian, let me ask you, why didn't you take that scholar's life!"

In a certain corner of Lanruo Temple, a bewitching tree spirit was sternly asking a beautiful female ghost.

The female ghost's face is like a fairy in the sky, with a beautiful face and beautiful appearance, peerless beauty, it makes people's hearts intoxicated like the bright moonlight.

It's just a pity that this kind of beauty, the demon who has become a spirit from the locust tree, doesn't show any pity at all, and his face is full of murderous intent!
"Grandma, listen to me, it's Yan Chixia, that smelly Taoist priest stopped me, I'm really no match for him!" Xiaoqian confided pitifully.

"Yan Chixia!"

Grandma's evil spirit became even stronger, she said: "Go again, I will watch in person, if that stinky Taoist makes another move, I will kill him as well!"

Xiaoqian felt a little reluctance in her heart, but her fate was not something she could control, so she could only obey.

The beautiful ghost stood up and walked slowly towards the main hall of Lanruo Temple, while Grandma Shu looked at Xiaoqian's back, her eyes flickering and said: "Bitch, I really think I can't see your thoughts, if not Tomorrow night I will send you to Master Heishan, I must take good care of you!"

"What, you said she is a female ghost who eats people?!"

In the dilapidated Daxiong Palace, a scholar was extremely surprised when he heard the words of the bearded swordsman in front of him. He said, "How is it possible, Xiaoqian has such a gentle temper, how can she be a fierce ghost?"

"Hehehe, Scholar Ning, don't be fooled by appearances. I've been here for so many years, but I've seen her kill people and drink blood!" The sloppy beard laughed.

"No, I don't believe it. How is it possible? Xiaoqian said that she is from a nearby family!" Ning Caichen said angrily.

"Beautiful and charming..."

The bearded Yan Chixia sighed, said no more, took a sip of wine, leaned against the haystack, closed her eyes and fell asleep...
