Anxi County is just a small city, and there are only more than 10,000 people in this era. There are very few elderly people who can live to the age of age, and there are only a few.

With the lights, the group visited two old men in the county, but the old men also didn't know where the place name of Danzhou was, which made them unable to get the answer.

"It's dark at this moment, and the immortal masters have not found the answer. Why not visit tomorrow morning. There is an elder in Daliu Village near our county. He has lived a hundred years old so long. I believe he can help the immortal masters gain something."

The county magistrate said kindly to Liu Zheng and the others.

"No, you can't delay, you must go now."

The bearded man waved his hand and refused to say.

"this..."

The county magistrate and several officials didn't understand why they had to go so late.

"Sir! Sir! It's not good. Li Laosi's family in the south of the city has become evil! Li Laosi's family has become evil monsters and is eating their neighbor Wang Po's family."

At this moment, a detective came here quickly and came to the county magistrate and screamed in panic.

"What?!"

When the county magistrate heard this, his body was shaking and he almost fainted while covering his forehead.

How long has it been? Another incident of being possessed by evil spirits happened. Fortunately, it was just a family member who was possessed by evil spirits and even saved the rescue.

Thinking that there was an immortal master beside him, the county magistrate then held on and looked at Liu Zheng and the others with Qiqi Ai's eyes.

"What should I do if I get an evil person in your county usually?"

The bearded man did not immediately agree to solve the problem, but asked.

"Usually, as long as someone with evil appears, they will become disregarded by their relatives and only know how to kill and eat. So whether it is a yamen runner or a commoner, everyone will search the guys and beat the evil monsters to death. But in the past, they were usually caught by one person, but today they are a family. It is estimated that there will be many casualties for everyone to go together..."

The county magistrate said in a vain and looked at the bearded man with a little look in hope.

"...Okay, I'll go there, you guys go find that centenarian, don't delay the main business."

The bearded man waved his hand helplessly, and then said to Liu Zheng and Xu Jun.

"Thank you for your actions, thank you for yourselves..."

Seeing that the bearded man agreed to take action, the county magistrate and the yamen runners became excited.

Evil monsters do not know pain, and they are fearless in life and death. It takes a huge price for them to deal with evil monsters, so the immortal masters are naturally different.

Liu Zheng and Xu Jun nodded, and there was nothing to say about the division between the troops.

"You don't need to follow us. Just tell us where the centenarian lives, and we'll go."

Liu Zheng said to the yamen runner holding a lantern beside him.

"Okay, the Immortal Master, follow this road and walk about three miles along the path, and then..."

···

"Is anyone at home? We are from the government, please come out and talk!"

The two found the place, entered the small courtyard wrapped in the fence, and shouted in front of the earthen house.

"Please wait, the old man will come now..."

The old man's voice came from inside, and the door was slowly opened, only half of his body was revealed. A white-haired old man was carefully guarding the oil lamp to shine on the person.

But the old man didn't notice that his shadow was also reflected, especially the lower body was not as human as a shadow of a worm.

"Old man, why don't you sleep so late?"

A glimmer flashed in Liu Zheng's eyes and he said to the old man gently.

"Oh, oh, I'll report to the official, the old man, my son's family died of illness recently. The old man feels sad every night, and sighs with tears and can't sleep..."

The old man's face appeared sadness and sadness, and he couldn't help but say, his old eyes blurred.

"It's really hard for the old man. I'm sorry."

Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his son and his family died of illness? Is he really dead of illness?

"It's not the official, it's the old man who can't think it through himself."

The old man wiped his tears and asked, "I haven't asked the two officials yet. What's the point of finding the old man after I'm late at night? Why not go into the house and talk in detail. There is still some wine and food at home, so I can reward the two officials who come from the county town without hesitation."

Liu Zheng grabbed Xu Jun's hand holding the knife, and said without changing his face: "There is no need to reward, but I just want to ask the old man. People say that it has been rare since ancient times. It is rare for you to live a hundred years. I believe that the experience of storms in the past is also unusual. I wonder if the old man knows that there is a place called Tanzhou in our territory?"

“Tanzhou…”

When the old man heard this, he showed a confused expression and then fell into thinking.

"If this bug doesn't know, just solve it. He probably has become an evil monster, and it's different from ordinary low-level evil monsters. It's probably a trap to let us in just now. He wants to eat us."

Feeling a fluctuation of thought, he received it with his true intention. Liu Zheng was a little surprised and replied with his true intention: "It seems that you are not just a small magic, but a great practice of practicing?"

"It's easy to say that the way of swordsman is just a sword, and you can't compare to your authentic martial arts practitioners."

Liu Zheng understood this way. Although this guy was skilled as a martial artist, he was proficient in spells.

Swordsman and sorcerer have many appearances in folk stories, and their appearance frequency is more than those who have cultivated the truth and attained the Tao. They also have more human feelings and fireworks than them. They are more like a group of mortals who master magic and martial arts, who only practice skills but not minds. It is not enough to say that they are just strange people or folk traditions.

"But are you using a knife?"

"There is no difference, the sword is just like a deviant move. I am a deviant move."

"I think he can tell us the answer."

"I can see that you are not a ruthless person. You are more cruel than anyone else. Why are you feeling compassion now?"

"No, the old man didn't hurt people at the first time, which means he was unwilling to harm people. As for his son's family, he might have died of illness. It was just that he was not like cheating. So what if he spared his life? I am serious and have a bottom line principle in doing things. How can you say that I am cruel and ruthless?"

"Haha, you are really a cunning master. In your own world, you may not be a king or a lord, or a person with great power, and life and death are all in your hands and people cannot guess their personality. People like you are really scary, and no one knows whether you are a hero or a bad guy."

"Wearing these masks for a while and changing them is really not as good as your facial paralysis, which makes people afraid to touch the depth."

...

Just as the two of them were chatting with each other, the old man woke up from his thoughts and said, "Old man, I thought about it, but I really remembered what the old man told me when he was young."

"Oh, I hope to hear it carefully."

Liu Zheng and Xu Jun ended the conversation and looked at the old man.

"Our ancestors said that many years ago, the nearby Heishui River was not a river, but a big river. There was a city called Tanzhou City. Later, the river flooded the entire city. Later, the river was redirected and did not pass here, leaving a black river behind."

The old man sorted out the information he recalled and said.

"That's true?"

"In other words, there is no Tanzhou City at all now. If you want to find it, you can only go to the bottom of the river to see the ruins?"

Liu Zheng and Xu Jun both frowned.

"This... the old man doesn't know what the two officials have to ask?"

The old man shook his head and said.

"No more, thank you for your answer. We will leave now."

Liu Zheng bowed to the old man and turned around and left.

"Old man, I'm weak and can't stand the wind at night, so I won't send you two officials..."

Seeing the two of them turn around, the old man slowly closed the door.

The moment the door crack closed, a shadow of the insect body flashed by.

The two outside the yard stared at the dirt house, and Xu Jun opened his mouth and said, "What should I do now? Do you think the words of a bug can be believed?"

"So what if I don't believe it? According to what the old man said, I guess the river we crossed when we came was the Black Water River. Think about what the old monster in the evil monster village said before, and this location really matches the situation. I'm afraid the place where Tanzhou City is located is really that river."

Liu Zheng said slowly with his hands behind his back.

"This mission is very strange. No wonder we call the conscripts. If ordinary travelers were probably dead, a hundred times would have died. But then again, even if we were not killed by evil monsters, we would not be able to find a place like flies."

Xu Jun said as he took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Don't you?"

"I just finished the method at that time and I had a ban on it."

"Nothing really is true."

"Let's borrow your words, and each other."

"There is no other way now. Call the beard. Let's go back and take a look. Maybe there is something in the river."

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard noisy and messy sounds sounding in the distance.

When I turned around, I found that it was the direction of the county town, and the firelight reflected the sky red.

"What happened?"

“Like.”

The two quickly left here and headed towards the county town.

Not far from the county town, I found that at night, countless people were holding torches and lanterns, dragging their families with their families, and big and small cars came out of the city. The sad voices of women and children kept coming, and the men looked at their hometown from time to time.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Jun asked by grabbing a man's arm.

The man said sadly: "Anxi County is over. Just now, the county magistrate and the Immortal Master destroyed the family that turned into evil monsters. Unexpectedly, several families appeared and were caught in evil. There was also the evil monster as big as the city collided in from the north of the city. The Immortal Master couldn't stand it, so run away quickly!"

After saying that, the man struggled out his arms and quickly rushed into the escaped abortion with his baggage on his back.

Liu Zheng and Xu Jun both changed their expressions, and they rushed into the county town with a glance.

At this moment, the city was wailing everywhere, and the sound of sadness was bursting. The fire ignited and connected the flammable houses, but it could not stop the evil monsters from wantonly harvesting life and eating living creatures.

Liu Zheng stood on the top of the city and saw it clearly. The little evil monsters turned from humans were all deformed and ugly.

Those who are not worth worrying about are the evil monsters that cannot see clearly and can only see vaguely. They stretch out thousands of tentacles and twitch their teeth and claws to destroy them, releasing black gas to corrupt all substances. They are constantly squirming and moving forward, coming towards this side.

It's it!
