Luo Mingyue looked at the scene below and said, "They are hungry..."
Then he asked, "Qingrui, what do you think they eat?"
"I don't know. I think they look so ugly, neither human nor insect..."
Qing Rui shook his head, his face full of disgust, and said: "You can say they are human, but their bodies are insects. But if you say they are insects, their expressions are quite human... This is the first time I have seen such creatures. They should have become monsters... Or should we just kill them directly?"
Luo Mingyue nodded, "Okay, you do it."
"Forget it, I can't get involved in human life."
While the man and the dragon were talking, the couple in the house below where the woman with the worm was knocking on the door were awakened by the knocking on the door, and the baby in the house also opened his eyes and cried loudly.
The crying made the long insects outside excited. They gathered here and began to bang on the door in turns.
"There's a baby in there, I heard him crying!"
"The baby must be hungry too. Let's go find something for him to eat..."
"Hey, we're all hungry, where can we find milk for him? How about...how about I sacrifice myself and give him some of my blood to drink, I hope he can calm down."
"Alas, life is not easy for anyone these days, so I'll also contribute a little blood."
Luo Mingyue was stunned after hearing this. She originally regarded these human-faced worms as evil creatures and planned to catch them all and lock them up in a bucket. But now, after listening to their conversation, she felt that they... were a little kind.
At this moment, in the town, the worms were still chatting:
"Why are all the shops on the street closed? I brought five taels of silver with me before I left, but I have nowhere to spend it and can't buy anything to eat."
"How about we go outside? It's too bright in this town. It's uncomfortable to be exposed to the light..."
"Stop talking nonsense and save the baby."
The long worms banged on the door even harder. The door was shaking and was about to be broken down.
At this time, a stone basin fell from the sky.
Half of the bowl was filled with braised beef, and the other half was filled with stir-fried lettuce.
"Oh my god, there's food!"
The long insects screamed and buried their faces in the stone basin and danced wildly.
"Leave some space for me, move aside, make room for me!"
A worm sniffed and tasted the lettuce, then spat it out in disgust. "Pah, the green leaves are so disgusting. Are they for humans to eat? We are not rabbits."
"What kind of meat is this? It's so delicious."
Seeing this, Luo Mingyue placed two stone basins filled with meat nearby, one filled with sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and the other filled with braised pork.
The long insects in the town smelled the aroma of meat and crawled out from the dark corners one after another. Luo Mingyue then discovered that there were so many long insects hidden in the town. They quickly buried their faces in the stone basin and formed a circle. Some long insects were more protective of their food and would drive away other insects and would not allow them to get close to them.
Luo Mingyue simply placed several stone basins on the long street, each filled with meat.
Some of the long insects had secretly found a dog hole and were planning to sneak into someone's home, but were attracted by the fragrance, came to the street, and quickly crawled to the side of the stone basin.
Soon, all the worms started eating, and the street became quiet for a while.
Luo Mingyue murmured to herself, "These stone basins have been used to feed insects, so they can't be used to feed people tomorrow... It seems I have to make some new ones."
She took out a spoon and added some more beef to the stone basin, then asked Qingrui to help pick up some stones.
"You actually asked me to do such a trivial thing? I am a dragon..." Qingrui snorted, but still left the room obediently. After a while, he found more than 20 stones of different sizes.
Luo Mingyue used the Dust Purification Technique to wash them all clean, then took out his sword and cut the stones into stone basins of different sizes and put them into the storage space.
The long worms only eat meat. They eat very quickly and have large appetites. However, the thing that Luo Mingyue has the most is food, and he continuously adds meat to the stone basin.
Not long after, a long worm with a little girl's face stopped eating and sighed contentedly: "I'm so full... I haven't eaten this full in a long time..."
"Yeah, me too. I ate a lot. It's time to go home and sleep..."
"We should walk around the town and see if there are any living people here. The town is so big, it's impossible that we are the only ones still alive, right?"
"Oh, by the way, I just heard a baby crying. The poor little thing must be starving. If we feed him some meat, he will surely stop crying."
"Yes, we have to save the baby..."
"You guys go ahead, I'm going to sleep."
Some of the worm-faced people were rather apathetic and unwilling to participate in the rescue operation, so they crawled back into the darkness.
Some people with worms on their faces were very enthusiastic and said they must save the baby.
"By the way, where is the baby?"
"I forgot, it seems to be around here..."
Just listening to their conversations, it seems that they are no different from normal people.
The worms with human faces seemed to still regard themselves as living people, but their brains were obviously slow and they did not realize that their current appearance was any different from that of humans. Normal people would definitely be surprised to see the stone plates falling from the sky and would not understand where these stone basins came from, but they did not think there was anything wrong at all. Even if Luo Mingyue took the stone basins away, they did not react.
The human-faced worms are not afraid of moonlight, but are afraid of the light produced by candlelight. They are slow to react and have poor memory, but are sensitive to crying, laughing and talking sounds, but will ignore snoring.
Now every household is quiet, and the human-faced worms will feel that no one is at home, but if there is any sound, they will be attracted and try to sneak into the house.
Normally, people had to keep candles lit in their homes, because these long worms couldn't find food and would be hungry and unable to sleep. They would stay up all night, searching for food in the town until they were tired. If someone's candle went out, the long worms might sneak in. But today, they were full and looked for the baby on the street for a while, but didn't find any, so they all went back to sleep.
Luo Mingyue noted down several of the rooms that the worms had entered. These rooms were dark and no one lived inside. They seemed to be the homes of the worms.
Luo Mingyue planned to wait until daybreak before checking these rooms. As for the other long insects, they crawled too fast and had already hidden in the darkness, so Luo Mingyue could not find any trace of them.
…
the other side.
In the world of cultivating immortals, outside the Mingyue Sect mountain.
Mu Lingyan walked in the forest with his four fellow junior brothers and sisters, and felt unprecedented freedom.
Ever since everyone was rescued by the Master and accepted as disciples, they have been living in the mountains and have no chance to go out, unless the Master takes the initiative to take them out, but such opportunities are very rare. Moreover, everyone misunderstood the Master before and thought that he was cruel and were unwilling to go out with him.
The four people that Mu Lingyan brought with him on this trip were his third junior brother, and his fourth, fifth, and tenth junior sisters.
Logically speaking, Tenth Junior Sister Bai Tian had just joined the sect not long ago and her cultivation was only at the first level of Qi Refining Stage, so she shouldn't have come out with them. However, Senior Brother Mu Lingyan was very kind to his fellow junior brothers and sisters. He felt that he was already at the Foundation Establishment Stage and had the ability to protect the younger Junior Sister, so he agreed to let her go out.
The third junior brother has a single spiritual root of wood and is good at healing spells.
The fourth and fifth junior sisters are a pair of twin sisters. They look very similar, but their spiritual roots are different and their personalities are also different.
My elder sister's name is Yun Jinshu. She is gentle and quiet as water.
My younger sister is Yun Xiangsi. She is warm, generous, lively and cheerful.
Junior sister Bai Tian especially likes to play with the two sisters. The three of them have a very good relationship and have become best friends.
Yun Xiangsi asked, "Big Brother, where are we going this time?"
Mu Lingyan said: "I want to go to Shacheng. I heard that there are many independent cultivators living in this city. After we go there, we can find a place to stay. There are also various bounties in Shacheng. We can take orders and do tasks. After completing the tasks, we can get rewards... With spirit stones, we can also stay outside for a while longer."
"Brother, where do you know this?"
Mu Lingyan said: "The last time my master took me to Xuanxing Gate, I met many fellow cultivators, chatted with them, inquired about relevant information, and looked at the map."
"So that's how it is... This journey is really exciting."
The few of them walked briskly, full of longing for unknown things.
However, soon, Mu Lingyan and others will suffer a "bad beating" from the world of immortal cultivation.
Mu Lingyan and the other four are all very good-looking. Although many cultivators look good, Mu Lingyan and Bai Tian are the male and female protagonists, and they stand out in the crowd.
Mu Lingyan used to be often whipped by the Frozen Soul Whip. His aura was pure, like the endless ice and snow wasteland under the sunlight, with a sense of holiness. Even if he walked in the dark, he could not conceal his aura.
As for Bai Tian, her looks are not particularly outstanding in the world of immortal cultivation. Her looks are comparable to those of the twin sisters Yun Jinshu and Yun Xiangsi. However, when Bai Tian smiles, she seems to have magical powers. She is particularly sweet and lovely, which directly raises her original appearance of 70 points to 100 points.
Therefore, they were targeted by the evil cultivators just after they came out for one night.
Most demon cultivators are insidious, cunning, cruel and cold-blooded. Some of them look ferocious, making people think they are bad guys at first glance and stay away from them.
But many demon cultivators are good at disguise. They wear white clothes and swords at their waists, and look like disciples of famous and upright sects.
——For example, in this sect named "Yeguangju", all the disciples are dressed in snow-white clothes when they go out.
Recently, twenty disciples from Yeguangju were nearby. They were tracking a medicinal herb. This medicinal herb gained consciousness and hid in the woods. Mu Lingyan was lucky, as the medicinal herb fell directly into his arms.
"What... is this?" Mu Lingyan was slightly shocked. He was already a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but when the black light hit him just now, he had no time to react.
Mu Lingyan looked down and saw a black sesame seed looking at him with innocent eyes.
Normal sesame seeds are relatively small, but the black sesame seed in front of him is bigger than Mu Lingyan's palm. It has a sesame fragrance and has two eyes and a mouth. It has no nose and ears. It looks a bit like a stick figure. The mouth is a curved arc that rises upward, forming a smiling face, which looks quite cute.
"Help me, a group of bad guys are chasing me."
Heizhimali's voice is crisp and sounds a bit childish.
"Bad guy?"
Mu Lingyan's mind was a little confused, and he and Hei Zhimali stared at each other.
Bai Tian came over and asked, "Big Brother, what is this?"
Mu Lingyan thought to himself that he had never seen one before, "I don't know, maybe it's a monster?"
Black Sesame corrected him, "It's not a spirit, it's a magical medicine."
After it finished speaking, it crawled into Mu Lingyan's clothes, trying to hide.
At this moment, the disciples of Yeguangju tracked over and shouted, "Daoyou, help us catch it, don't let it run away!"
Mu Lingyan didn't even need to reach out to grab it, because the black sesame seeds had already penetrated into his clothes on his chest.
"Hello, fellow Taoist. We are disciples from Yeguangju. My name is Lishu Qi. Where are you from?"
Before Mu Lingyan went down the mountain, he had already told everyone that the purpose of this trip was mainly for training. The Mingyue Sect was too famous, so they had to hide the origins of their sect. They also thought of a fake name for the sect, which was Luoshan Sect.
The word "Luo" is easy to understand, as it is the master's surname. And because there are many mountains in the Mingyue Sect, they named it "Luoshan Sect".
Mu Lingyan said: "We are disciples of Luoshan Sect. The ones next to us are my junior brothers and sisters. My name is Mu Lingyan. I am the first disciple of our master and the eldest senior brother of the disciples."
"Luoshan Sect?"
Li Shuqi turned around and looked at his fellow junior fellow apprentices. None of them had ever heard of the name of this sect, so they thought it was a small sect and not worth mentioning, so they felt relieved.
Li Shuqi smiled slightly and said, "We have a senior sister in our sect. She was injured by thieves and her life is in danger. We followed the order of our master to come out to find medicine for her. This black sesame seed is the key to saving her. We have set up a formation in this forest so that it can only stay in the forest and cannot escape. Who would have thought that it would run to you..."
When Mu Lingyan heard this, he didn't expect that these black sesame seeds were used to save people's lives. Although he felt that the black sesame seeds were destined to be with him, he still took them out and prepared to return them to the original owner.
"Don't hand me over, they are bad guys and want to eat me!" Black Sesame was very emotional.
Li Shuqi said, "How about this, we only need a fingernail-sized crumb. The black sesame seeds grow so big, losing a little crumb shouldn't have any impact. As for its body... leave it with Fellow Daoist Mu Lingyan. There is a saying that a gentleman does not take away what others love. Anyway, we only need a little black sesame crumb as a medicine, and it would be a waste to give us any extra."
Hearing this, Black Sesame Seed was still not satisfied and shouted, "Don't eat me! Stay away from me!"
Li Shuqi said again: "Excuse me, I see it likes Fellow Daoist Mu very much, could it be that Fellow Daoist has wood spiritual roots?"
Mu Lingyan shook his head, "No."
He also found it strange. Third Junior Brother was the one with wood spiritual roots. Could it be that Hei Zhima had bumped into the wrong person?
