Chapter 85 Parade

Inside the post house, the atmosphere at the dinner between Xin Sheng and others became increasingly lively.

The white wolf god's various supernatural powers made the businessman named Liu envious. After hearing that the Wolf God had left south, he sighed even more.

Although Xin Sheng did not talk about the most bragging experience of the strange beast Xiqu and the red lady, the fact that the wolf god gave him wine was worth boasting about.

The efficacy of the peach blossom wine was even boasted to be rare in the world, making other merchants feel itchy and envious.

However, although the atmosphere was lively due to the exaggerated bragging among businessmen, the red-haired woman by the window shook her head.

After sitting there and listening for a while, after confirming that she could no longer hear any more useful information, the woman stood up and walked straight outside.

The steward standing in the distance quickly came over and obeyed the order.

Standing at the top of the stairs, the red-haired woman looked back at Xin Sheng and the others who were chatting animatedly, thought for a while, and said, "These people have interesting stories to tell. Let's give them free dinner tonight."

She smiled and said, "It's hard work to make the story so interesting, hahaha..."

After saying that, the red-haired woman laughed and left.

The steward was a little confused. Although he didn't know what happened, he still obediently waived the bill for Xin Sheng and others.

The red-haired woman did not go far after leaving the inn, but walked directly into the Fire Temple opposite the inn.

The Fire Temple, which was inaccessible to ordinary people, was like strolling in her own garden in front of her, and no one dared to stop her.

A quarter of an hour later, dozens of white figures soared out of the Fire Temple, turning into dozens of misty white smoke and disappearing into the dark night south of the city.

All the parades in Baishi City all left the city at this moment.

In the wilderness, Lu Heng and the others were lucky enough to find a cave. Although the space inside the cave is not large, it is enough to provide shelter from the wind.

After lighting the campfire, Xiao Ai caught a pheasant in the mountains and prepared dinner for Lord Wolf God.

As for Huo Feng, he has no interest in this kind of cooking that takes a lot of time. He took out the dry food he carried in his bag and chewed it for a while. After filling his stomach, he sat cross-legged and concentrated, and continued to try to gather the spiritual energy in his body.

Although it had almost no effect, it was already a task that Huo Feng had to do every day and he never slacked off.

Lu Heng closed his eyes and practiced quietly, continuing to study the art of hiding spirit and energy. But so far, there are still no results.

I don't know if it is because the power of the sky thunder is too special, but the research and development of the technique of concealing energy is much more difficult than Lu Heng thought.

He tried almost every method he could think of, but still couldn't make any breakthrough.

At night, there was silence in the quiet cave, except for the beeping sound of the burning fire from time to time.

Occasionally, there will be screams of wild beasts howling from the distant forest. It seems that it is another battle between the weak and the strong.

This wild forest where beasts rage is never quiet even at night.

Those beasts with good eyesight at night lurk and wander in the dark mountain forests, trying to hunt fresh blood-eating prey. Night is a more bloody arena for them.

Occasionally, a predator will encounter a more powerful beast, and will turn into its blood-eating prey, and breathe its last breath with a shrill howl.

The wilderness after completely darkening is such a wild and brutal primitive world. The law of the jungle is the only order in this dark forest.

And the swaying light of the bonfire in the cave would occasionally attract one or two wandering beasts.

But if these beasts raging in the mountains and forests want to get close, the little girl by the campfire only needs to look at them coldly, and the ferocious and bloodthirsty beasts will be frightened, flee from here, and never dare to come near again.

In this way, the little girl silently watched the tranquility in the mountain, not letting these wild beasts disturb the Lord Wolf God's peaceful cultivation.

But in the middle of the night, something changed.

Silently, a wisp of cold air drifted outside the cave. The little girl who had closed her eyes to meditate suddenly opened her eyes, only to see a pale, translucent figure standing outside the cave at some unknown time.

When the little girl saw the other person, the translucent pale figure had no hidden intentions. Instead, it cupped its hands towards the two people and the wolf beside the campfire, and disappeared silently.

This strange picture made the little girl a little confused.

She subconsciously stood up and wanted to go out to see what was going on.

This 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, filled with an unpleasant and cold air.

But this translucent pale figure is different. Although it also has a slight cold air, the overall feeling is that it is dignified and righteous, not a ghostly thing.

But the appearance of such a foreign object in this wilderness, even if the other party is not evil, people dare not ignore it.

But as soon as the little girl stood up, Huo Feng beside the fire spoke.

The pale figure did not hide his aura, and even he who had lost all his cultivation could feel it.

Huo Feng said, "Don't be nervous, Miss Ai, that pale figure is just a traveling wizard from Baishi City."

"The body of this wandering wizard is located in the Fire Temple, but he can use the body of the wandering soul condensed by the incense in the temple to wander around the city and outside, searching for evil spirits."

"Although it doesn't have very powerful magical powers, it still has some mysteries."

"This wandering soul incarnation is condensed by the power of incense and wishes, and has a strong sense of evil spirits. If there are evil spirits in the place where it passes, it will definitely be able to detect it."

"And even if this wandering soul incarnation is killed by a big evil demon, it will not cause any harm to the body of the patrolling wizard."

"Their duty is to patrol the four directions within the boundary of Baishi City. They may pass by here and see the fire in the cave, so they come in to take a look. There is no need to worry."

Huo Feng smiled and said, "Lord Wolf God has the token of the Thousand Needle City witch uncle. The patrol must have noticed it, so it retreated directly."

"It already knows that we are not evil spirits, otherwise it would not salute."

Huo Feng's story made Xiao Ai stunned.

So in this land under the protection of the witch, there are patrolling wizards who patrol day and night and guard the safety of people's livelihood?

Such a thing has never been heard of in the remote Hanyu Mountain.

However, Xiao Ai also understood that such waiting was not without cost.

Living under the protection of the witch, a fixed amount of taxes must be paid to the Fire God Temple every year. During the slack season, there is unavoidable corvée labor to be performed.

Therefore, there are actually quite a few remote villages like Shuisheng Village that are far away from the city and not under the protection of the witch.

Most of them are built near the road not far from the boundary marker. While avoiding corvée labor and taxes, they can more or less benefit from the witch.

After all, in such a place not too far from the city, even in the wilderness where monsters are rampant, it is rare to encounter evil monsters.

The existence of evil things is always rare.
