Paper Boat

Chapter 233 Paper Boat

Qin Mu recovered from his injury and left the village with a gift for the demon ape, heading towards the Zhenyang Palace Valley. As soon as he left the village, he saw a strange beast dragging a corpse. When it saw him coming, it hissed twice, and the fur on its neck stood up.

The river was gurgling, and several strange beasts with fish heads and human bodies jumped out from the bottom of the water. They ran towards the other corpses. When these strange beasts saw Qin Mu, they hurriedly stopped, crawled on the ground, and dared not move forward.

Qin Mu didn't take it seriously. During the two days when he was recuperating, the Yankang magical masters who were chasing him found this place one after another. Before they even entered the village, he eliminated them one by one using things that could be found everywhere in the village.

There are some extremely scary things in the village. In addition to the bugs in the clay pots, there are also rakes for raking grass, curtains from the blacksmith's shop, water tanks, the sword balls under Grandma Si's bed, the butcher's whetstone, the trough for feeding chickens, and the washbasin that was taken away by the dragon unicorn and used as a bowl.

There were quite a few people chasing Qin Mu. In addition to Long Jiaonan's group of strong men, there should be other groups of masters from various sects. During the two days when Qin Mu was recuperating, many people came here.

Canlao Village is not difficult to find. It is built along the river and is only a thousand miles away from Xianglong City. Xianglong City is not far from the border of Yankang. If you want to search, you can still find it here.

Qin Mu estimated that there were forty or fifty people who had found this place in the past two days. Of course, they were all dead now.

"Long Jiaonan didn't come looking for me. Could it be that he got lost, or was killed on the way? Or maybe..."

When Qin Mu was in the village, he always felt that there were eyes outside the village staring at him, like a big poisonous snake hiding in the dark, which could pounce on him at any time.

"Is she nearby?"

This time he walked out of the village to lure out Long Jiaonan.

Long Jiaonan had a deep hatred for him. The destruction of the Yulong Sect was caused by Qin Mu. If Qin Mu had not summoned the devil in Tianbo City and summoned the Demon King Dutian, the Yulong Sect would not have been destroyed so easily.

Qin Mu walked to Zhenyang Palace and saw many wild beasts here, but the demon ape and dragon elephant were not here.

He looked around but found no trace of them. The beasts in the valley did not know how to practice and could not speak, so he did not know where the demon ape had gone.

Qin Mu had no choice but to return to Canlao Village. After another two days, he finally couldn't sit still anymore. It was very close to the end of the year, only two or three days left, and Granny Si and the village chief hadn't come back yet!

“The elderly in the village are such a worry!”

He went to Zhenyang Palace again, but still didn't see the demon ape, and became more and more anxious.

"Fatty Long, get up!"

Qin Mu cleaned up, fed the bugs and the chicken dragon, then wiped off the word "ding" on the body of the Demon King of Dutian, summoned the Dragon Qilin, and said, "Let's go to the depths of Daxu to look for them!"

The Demon King Dutian stretched his body and sneered, "Even a demigod like the deaf man can never return after entering the Great Ruins. What's the point of you going there?"

Qin Mu shook his head: "Although my strength is not high, I have helpers. Demon King, you are also from the Heavenly Demon Clan, right?"

The Demon King Dutian said proudly: "So you want to borrow my power. If you are nicer to me, I can help you. But you hit me for no reason, which makes me feel unhappy. I will help you only if you please me."

Qin Mu asked curiously, "How can I please the Demon King?"

The Demon King Dutian became excited and was about to say what he always said, but suddenly he felt something was not good. If he said it, he would probably be the one to kneel down and get beaten.

Qin Mu said sternly: "If you work hard to help me find them, I will release you. How is this condition?"

The Demon King Dutian's eyes lit up: "Is it a deal?"

"It's a deal!"

Qin Mu packed up and walked out of Canlao Village, letting Long Qilin go up the river. The village chief and his men were going to find the whereabouts of Wuyou Township. Last time, the village chief took Qin Mu up the river, walked to the depths of Daxu, the source of Yongjiang River, and saw many strange things.

However, what they found that time was not the Worry-Free Township, but the Moon Boat in Fengdu.

The moon boat pulled the jade pendant on Qin Mu's neck, making it float, and then led Qin Mu there.

Qin Mu felt that the village chief and his men must have started their search for Wuyou Township from there, and they might have left some clues.

Long Qilin's pace was not slow, but it was much slower than the village chief's. When the village chief was carrying Qin Mu, he was like a shining god in the darkness walking in the ruins, and his speed was extremely fast.

Qin Mu could only go deep into Daxu during the day. At night, he could only look for other villages or ruins to avoid the darkness.

Daxu during the day and Daxu at night are two completely different worlds. The village chief speculates that Daxu is the real world during the day, and at night, another dark world overlaps with Daxu.

If the village chief and the others entered the world in darkness and were taken away by the darkness, Qin Mu would not be able to find them.

Now he could only hope that the village chief and his men had found Wuyou Township.

Not long after he left the Canlao Village, a girl in a dark green dress came to the outside of the village. A red earring hung under her earlobe. The earring moved and stretched, turning into an earring, which turned out to be a small red snake.

"This village is full of treasures. I wonder if I can go in and steal some?"

Long Jiaonan whispered, "Xiaohong, call some helpers."

The little red snake under her earlobe hissed and spit out its tongue. Large red-crowned snakes swam out from the woods. One of the snakes swam into the village. Just as it entered the village, suddenly a black spider lying on the leaves of a magical medicine in the herb garden beside the village jumped up, landed on the snake's head and bit it.

The big snake died instantly, its flesh and blood rotted into water and was sucked dry by the spider, leaving only a snake skin.

The spider grew bigger and bigger. After drinking the big snake dry, it spewed out balls of real fire, burning itself smaller and smaller, and then jumped back into the medicine garden to hide.

Long Jiaonan's eyes twitched, and he immediately turned around and walked away. The snakes behind him scattered in all directions, and he said, "Even the gods can't enter this village!"

Long Qilin went upstream along the river for 6,000 miles. Qin Mu looked up and saw that it was getting late. He immediately looked around, trying to find a place to stay.

"The Daxu geographical map says there is a place called Siguai Palace nearby. It might be a place where we can stay."

Qin Mu recalled the geographical map of Daxu and searched for the direction. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he ordered Long Qilin to go ashore. Not long after, they found the ruins of a palace and saw that some strange beasts were hiding there.

Qin Mu walked into the ruins of the Siguai Palace, but saw the skeletons of many giant beasts lying in the ruins. These strange beasts were very quiet and did not move when they saw him coming.

Qin Mu raised his head and looked around. The skeleton of the giant beast in the Monster Palace was so huge. After being transformed into its complete form by the Dragon Kirin, it was dozens of times larger. If it were alive, it would be more than a thousand feet tall, like a moving mountain!

Not long after, a few more Taoists came to the ruins. They should be masters who came to Daxu for training. When they saw Qin Mu, they were surprised, but they all kept silent and made fires to cook.

Qin Mu also cooked some food, had dinner, and then lay down next to Long Qilin and fell asleep.

The Taoists looked at each other without saying a word and wrote on the ground. As they were writing, the earth suddenly shook, and roars were heard outside. Then, obscure voices came from the darkness, as if demons were whispering.

Qin Mu sat up and saw that the giant beast skeletons in the ruins suddenly shone with divine light. The ground shook more and more violently, and then he saw the giant beast skeletons slowly raising their legs from the ground. One by one, the giant beast skeletons seemed to come alive and walked out of the ruins.

There were earth-shaking roars coming from outside the ruins, and occasionally a divine light would break through the darkness and shine through. Through the divine light, one could see that the dry bones of several giant beasts had actually grown flesh and blood, transforming into several beast gods, which were fighting with the monsters in the darkness.

Those Taoists were in confusion and the Demon King Dutian was also shocked.

Qin Mu was not surprised at all. He lay down again and whispered, "Dutian, don't look at it. I have seen stranger things."

The Demon King Dutian whispered, "Those Taoists are a little weird."

Qin Mu didn't care: "I know. One of the female Taoist priests is Long Jiaonan."

After a while, his snoring was heard and the Demon King Dutian had to hold it back.

The battle outside the ruins lasted all night. In the early morning of the next day, the earth shook. Several towering mythical beasts walked out of the darkness, entered the ruins, crawled down, and their flesh and blood disappeared. They turned into several dry bones half buried in the earth, and then returned to normal.

The darkness receded like a tide, the sunlight shone down, and the other strange beasts in the ruins rushed out of the ruins and scattered.

Qin Mu started a fire and cooked, and the Taoists also started a fire. Everyone didn't say a word and ate breakfast.

Long Qilin had no idea where he had hidden Canlao Village's washbasin, but now he took it out and placed it in front of Qin Mu, waiting to feed him.

Qin Mu poured half a bucket of Red Fire Spirit Pill, then took a basin and poured half a basin of Jade Dragon Lake water into it.

After eating and drinking, Long Qilin continued on his way. The Taoists looked at each other, put out the fire, stood up and followed Qin Mu.

Qin Mu stopped, looked back, and said with a smile: "Is there anything I can do for you, brothers?"

One of the Taoists shouted, "Daxu is so big, is it yours? We'll go our way, you go your way, I won't hinder you from walking!"

Qin Mu smiled slightly and continued walking forward.

They started early that day and finally reached the end of Yongjiang River before sunset. Qin Mu saw a dilapidated village by the river, his eyes lit up, and he asked Long Qilin to go over.

The Taoists also followed in and saw that the village was in ruins, with spider webs hanging everywhere, and even the stone statues in the village were broken.

The strange thing is that in other ruins, strange beasts went in to escape the darkness, but there was not a single monster in this village.

The Taoists were in doubt. Long Jiaonan, now a pretty female Taoist, whispered, "There's something strange here..."

As they were talking, darkness fell and the weather suddenly became extremely cold. A solitary boat drifted slowly, coming from another world. A lantern was hung on the bow, and under the lantern was an old man making paper people, paper horses, and paper boats.

The old man came to the village and got off the boat. Everyone shuddered and felt as if their souls were frozen.

The old man put down a paper boat, which floated up. One of the Taoists suddenly found himself in the paper boat without knowing when, and it floated into the darkness.

He was surprised and looked quickly, only to see another self still sitting in the village.

That was his shell.

"Brother Dao."

Qin Mu used his Zhenxing Dihou True Skill and transformed into a human-headed snake-body form. The Chengtian Gate appeared behind him. He saluted the old man and spoke a sentence in Youdu language. He took out the portraits of the village chief and the pharmacist and asked, "Excuse me, brother, have you seen them?"
