Chapter 647: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 19

Both sides were reluctant to give up the prey in front of them, so both Ruyi and the four monsters stayed in Guobei City tacitly, without any intention of leaving.

Mrs. Huang's plan to collect the souls of the wrongly dead went very smoothly. In the beginning, it took her several days to collect one soul, but now she can collect several in a day if she is lucky. The progress is quite fast.

However, such a high frequency of homicides happening in a not-so-big county like Guobei City eventually attracted the attention of righteous people. In the world of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", the emperor is incompetent and favors treacherous ministers, and the entire government is in a mess. If it weren't for the fact that there were many good officials in the Ministry of War who cared about the people and were working hard to support it, the world would probably be even more chaotic now.

Many righteous people who care about the future of humanity have transformed themselves into rangers, like Yan Chixia, and go wherever there is injustice or something wrong.

The current situation in Guobei County is clearly what is wrong in the eyes of righteous people.

In a teahouse at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, two escorts were drinking tea and talking about the news of Guobei County. One of the older escorts said to the younger one with a serious face.

"Guobei County has seen a lot of murders recently. According to local residents, both the victims and the murderers behaved very strangely before the incident, as if they were bewildered."

When the young escort leader heard the news, curiosity immediately emerged on his face. He approached the old escort leader and asked cautiously, "Brother Li, do you think this was done by a human or a monster?"

"I think this method is definitely not something that an ordinary person can do. It must have been done by a monster! I don't know whether those beautiful vixens who repay favors in those storybooks are true or false. If I can also meet a beautiful and considerate woman, I don't care whether she is a human or a monster!"

Listening to the young escort leader's ignorant words, the old escort leader was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He picked up the tea bowl and took several gulps. Then he sighed, looked seriously into the young escort leader's eyes, and emphasized: "Xiao Wang, listen carefully, a monster is a monster. No matter how beautiful or ugly she looks, monsters will eat people."

"If you still want to learn some storybooks, and lose your vigilance against monsters, you won't know how you will die!"

"I, I get it, Brother Li, I won't think that way anymore." The young escort leader was frightened by the old escort leader's aura, and finally listened to what the old escort leader said. However, after what happened before, the two of them didn't have the mood to continue chatting. They drank the tea in silence, gave the copper coins, and got up and left.

The young Taoist priest Zhiqiu Yiye at the next table heard the conversation between the two people clearly. Zhiqiu Yiye had just come of age this year. He had been learning skills from an old Taoist priest in the mountains since he was a child. He finally graduated and could go down the mountain. Now he is full of energy and his mind is full of thoughts of slaying demons and killing people everywhere.

Originally, Zhiqiu Yiye was planning to go to the capital to deal with the most powerful evil monk in the dynasty - Pudu Cihang. However, he would have heard the news from Guobei County just after he came down the mountain.

"Perhaps this is fate. Since I, Zhiqiu Yiye, heard this news, it must be God's will!"

Zhiqiu Yiye decided to take a detour to solve the monster in Guobei County first, and then go to the capital after accumulating fame. There are many Taoists and monks in the surrounding counties who have the same idea as Zhiqiu Yiye, but most of them are young people with little experience but full of enthusiasm. The experienced old people have basically heard of the legend of "there is no return" in Guobei County.

After all, Guobei County is located right between two big mountains, one of which is Qingshan, also known as Monster Mountain. Not only are there three major monster clans, the weasel Huang family, the white snake Bai family, and the fox spirit Hu family controlling it, but there are also many little monsters born from animals living in Qingshan. Ordinary Taoists and monks may be able to deal with one or two little monsters, but what about ten, a hundred, or a thousand?

In addition to Qingshan, another big mountain, Black Mountain, is even more terrifying. Although there are no other monsters on Black Mountain, anyone who encounters the Black Mountain Old Monster, a ten-thousand-year-old monster, will die. What's more terrifying is that the Black Mountain Old Monster also occupies a City of Wrongful Death in the underworld. People who are unlucky will not even die in peace if they encounter it.

Only young Taoist priests like Zhiqiu Yiye who have no experience and do not understand the situation would think that there is no danger in Guobei County. However, he came at the right time. There were two big mountains blocking the way of Guobei County. The Black Mountain Old Monster was now sending people to find the traces of Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen and had no time to pay attention to Guobei County. The old monsters on the Green Mountain were collecting the souls of the dead, and the little monsters had almost been killed by Ruyi. Zhiqiu Yiye came to Guobei County at this time.

On this day, Ruyi was still practicing in the dilapidated temple when suddenly a strange little Taoist priest appeared in front of the door. Seeing that there was someone in the dilapidated temple, the little Taoist priest immediately smiled and walked forward to greet Ruyi enthusiastically.

"Hello, I didn't know anyone was already here."

"My name is Zhiqiu Yiye, I'm a demon hunter, and I'm here to get rid of the demons in Guobei County."

"......" Zhiqiu Yiye? This name sounds strange... strangely familiar! Isn't this the character in the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" played by the God of Songs?

Ruyi was full of questions. How come this world is still a comprehensive one?

"Why are you ignoring me? Can't you speak?" Zhiqiu Yiye's personality is as eccentric as in the original plot. Just because Ruyi didn't respond to him for a while, he started to make wild guesses.

"You...came down from Kunlun Mountain?"

"You know me? Are you from Kunlun Mountain too? Senior sister, senior sister!" Upon hearing Ruyi tell him his master's sect at a glance, Zhiqiu Yiye circled around Ruyi in surprise. Without waiting for Ruyi's answer, he made a random guess and actually recognized Ruyi as a fellow disciple.

"No." Ruyi shook her head helplessly, "I'm not your senior sister."

"I see from your appearance that you have just come down the mountain not long ago. Take my advice, the monsters here are not as easy to deal with as you think. You'd better leave quickly!" Seeing that Zhiqiu Yiye was still young and immature, Ruyi kindly reminded him to leave quickly.

If it was the previous Guobei County, with Zhiqiu Yiye's cultivation level, as long as he didn't go towards Qingshan, he might be able to leave safely. But in the current Guobei County, because he had attracted many monsters with high cultivation levels here, with Zhiqiu Yiye's current cultivation level, he would only die if he encountered any.

"What do you mean, you look down on me!" Zhiqiu Yiye could not see the gap between himself and Ruyi. He just thought that Ruyi was also a cultivator who came to slay demons and eliminate evil. After listening to Ruyi's persuasion, he thought that Ruyi had tricked him away in order to steal business.

"Hey, I'm telling you, don't try to steal my business. Or do you want to keep it all for yourself?" There have been frequent homicides in Guobei County, and the county magistrate is unable to find out the truth. He has to post a list and seek help from all parties. Zhiqiu Yiye has loved money since he was a child, and now he has already received the official list and is waiting to get the money.

Ruyi looked at the official list that Zhiqiu Yiye took out from his arms, and felt that the style of this world suddenly changed from a documentary horror novel to a comedy movie. No, it should be said that the style of the world changed after Zhiqiu Yiye appeared.

She rolled her eyes speechlessly and said to the vigilant Zhiqiu Yiye: "Forget it, it's up to you, but don't blame me for not warning you if you die!"
