Qingyu Village is an ordinary small fishing village on the seaside, built with high walls.

The wall is made of bluestone, five feet high and five feet wide, and is as strong as a fortress.

The fish village is very lively. A dozen masons are repairing the wall, and large flat bluestones are being hoisted to the top of the wall.

The bluestones were all polished and polished in the city, and the masons were among the highest-paid craftsmen in the city. Each piece of bluestone fit tightly together after it was built, and it looked strong at first glance.

The masons were talking and laughing while working.

"Qingyu Village is really cautious. It strengthens its walls every year. I think it will take less than two years to catch up with Wanghai Town's city wall."

"After the reinforcement this time, the height alone is almost the same. The city wall in Wanghai Town is only a little over two feet tall, and the one here is about two feet tall."

"If it weren't for being so far away, I would even want to move here. Let alone wild beasts, I have to stare at ordinary monsters when they come."

"Isn't that right? Old village chief, your Qingyu Village is planning to build a fortress."

The old village chief sat at the entrance of the village, basking in the sun and supervising the work. His face was full of pride and he said: "Build a high wall to guard against wolves. This is the ancestral teaching. Don't forget it. The world is not at peace."

A big black dog lay at the feet of the old village chief, barking at the strange craftsmen from time to time, as if approving of the old man's foresight.

"The area around Wanghai Town is pretty good. There have been a lot less monsters in recent years. Otherwise, we wouldn't have dared to come to your Qingyu Village from the city to build a wall."

"I heard from my cousin that there were a lot of monsters on the road from Wanghai Town to Qingyu Village more than ten years ago. You could see a skeleton within ten steps of the roadside, which would scare you to death."

"Ten paces and a skeleton is an exaggeration, but few people dared to walk this road before."

"The rumors must be true! The demon herders must have driven away the nearby monsters so that we can live a peaceful life."

"Endless Sea, Demon Shepherd, can the legend be true..."

The young bricklayer named Da Zhuang stopped what he was doing, his eyes full of curiosity.

The sea outside Yu Village is called the Endless Sea. It is said to be endless and never-ending. Wanghai Town is the largest town on the seaside. It belongs to Wu State and is half a day's journey from Qingyu Village.

The legend of the Demon Shepherd is widely circulated near Wanghai Town. Some people have seen mountains of monster bones in the deep mountains. Others have seen a figure driving groups of monsters into the mountains from a distance. Some people have heard monsters in the forest.

They whimpered like cats and dogs.

Various legends are so mysterious that it seems that there really is a demon herder who makes the demon clan fearful.

Although no one has seen the rumored demon herders, it is a fact that the number of demon clans around Wanghai Town has been decreasing year by year. In the past two years, it has even been rare to see them. Otherwise, the craftsmen in these towns would not dare to cross the mountains to come.

Qingyu Village.

There are many demons in Hezhou, all over the mountains, rivers and swamps.

The demon tribe is the natural enemy of the human race. It eats people like grain. Only strong city walls can resist them. Even with the fighting power of the Wu Kingdom, the city can only defend itself.

Some people living in big cities and towns have never even left the city for half a step in their lives. For them, the beautiful mountains and rivers outside the city can only be viewed from a distance, not up close.

Because you are so close to the mountains and rivers, you can not only see the beautiful scenery, but also the fangs of the demon.

The demon clan is scary and powerful, but there are also cultivators among the human clan. They collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures, melt fire to cast weapons, kill demons and refine elixirs, and pursue the way to immortality. The accomplished cultivators can fight with them by their own strength alone.

Powerful monsters compete with each other.

People use demons to make elixirs, and demons use humans to eat. For thousands of years, the feud between the two families has continued.

"The demons are not cows, sheep, pigs and dogs. They cannot be grazed. If the wall is high, the demons will not come. But it must be repaired. This wall is the lifeblood."

The old village chief doesn't care about the demon herders. He has heard many legends at such an old age. What he likes to see most is the high fence. The original Qingyu Village only had a fence. Every year, unlucky children were caught by monsters.

Go on, even adults are often attacked by monsters.

In the opinion of the old village chief, only by building the village into a real fortress can we have peace of mind.

Laughter and laughter resumed at the entrance of the village again. The craftsmen were working hard, the strong villagers transporting bluestones were sweating, the women in the village were busy making fires and cooking, children were running around and playing in the village, and cats and dogs were chasing each other under the inconspicuous roofs.

Call.

Qingyu Village is not big, but it is full of fireworks unique to the human world.

The sun was setting and dusk was approaching, and a young man carrying a bamboo basket stepped into the fishing village.

“What a big shrimp!”

The bricklayer Da Zhuang exclaimed, and the young man who walked into the village smiled at him.

The children cheered and gathered around. Brother Yun kept shouting, and the old village chief's smile became even more proud. The villagers greeted the young man, and everyone seemed very cordial.

It must be that the boy who is the best diver in the village has just returned from fishing. Da Zhuang thought to himself, he wonders if such a big shrimp will be used as dinner to reward craftsmen like them.

After installing the last piece of bluestone, Da Zhuang climbed down the ladder and found that the big black dog that had been barking at him for a long time had made no sound.

When I turned around, I saw that the black dog was still where he was. He was lying on the ground motionless without any of his previous power.

"It's true that dogs rely on human power. They bark when strangers come, and don't say a word when acquaintances come back. They are good at looking after homes and homes. I will also get a dog to look after the house later." Da Zhuang felt that raising dogs needed to be put on the agenda, and after earning this

If you have enough money, you will definitely buy one when you go back.

You have to choose the best and most ferocious one, even more powerful than the big black dog in Qingyu Village.

The young craftsman only saw the big black dog's honesty, but ignored one thing.

Half of the fireworks in the entire fishing village suddenly disappeared when the boy returned.

The village is still full of children's laughter, and the rice is fragrant. It looks the same, but if you look closely, you will find that the cats, dogs, chickens and ducks in the village are all motionless, as if they have been immobilized.

Under the eaves of an empty house, an old cat stretched out its four claws and pounced on a mouse. The strange thing was that neither the old cat nor the mouse moved, their bodies were trembling slightly, and the cat's eyes and the mouse's eyes showed the same fear.

The young man's figure walked into the house, and the door creaked shut.

As the wooden door closed, the old cat's four paws shook. The mouse took the opportunity to break free and crawl into the wood pile. The chickens and ducks lowered their heads again to forage. The big black dog at the entrance of the village flicked its tail and walked away with trembling legs, leaving behind

Water stains everywhere.

Dang dang dang, the sound of chopping vegetables is even and crisp.

The remaining lobster shrimps are first cooked, then cut into thin slices, drained and put in a dustpan, waiting until dawn to dry them into dried shrimps for portability.

"It should be good weather tomorrow."

Yunji looked at the setting sun on the horizon, put a piece of shrimp slices in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and said to himself: "Sixty-seven slices, only enough for more than two months, and three shrimps were wasted."

After swallowing the shrimp meat, Yunji sat cross-legged on the couch, carefully adjusted his breath, and waited silently.

"here we go……"

Not long after, a heat wave suddenly exploded in Yunji's belly!

This heat wave burned like a raging flame, invading the whole body along the limbs and bones, and soon wrapped all the meridians. An ordinary person would have been completely roasted by now.

But Yunji is different.

The moment the heat wave formed, an extremely cold force emitted from his heart. This force was like a greedy monster python, constantly eating away at the heat wave.

Extreme cold and scorching heat, two conflicting forces, raged inside Yunji's body. He should have been in extreme pain, but he had long since become accustomed to it.

After the cold air swallowed up all the heat waves, it retreated back to the heart. Yunji's meridians and bones were filled with a strange feeling, numb and cold.

This feeling is the remnant of extreme cold and burning heat biting each other. It is uncomfortable and can even be called painful.

But Yunji felt it quietly, as if he had been looking forward to it for a long time.
