Chapter 67 The art of creating animals!

Ever since Fuxi got engaged and made the zither, humans have attached more and more importance to the issue of marriage.

By the Shang Dynasty, a series of etiquette and rules had evolved.

The bride's escort team from the general's mansion set out from Guanjiangkou, carrying a large amount of dowry and thousands of slaves, maids, servants, and family guards as dowry. The group marched northward along the official road in a mighty procession.

If it weren't for the joyous atmosphere in the team, I would have thought they were going to war.

This grand ceremony was only rushed together. If there was more time, it could have been more thoroughly prepared.

After seeing this scene, Yang Ling also had a deeper understanding of the strength of these generals of the Shang Dynasty.

As the general guarding the city, he is in charge of military, political, agricultural, commercial, etc., and can be said to be a well-deserved local emperor!

There were also some political factors involved in the marriage between the Yin family of Guanjiangkou and the Li family of Chentangguan.

Guanjiangkou is located in the eastern part of Dashang, while Chentangguan is located in the northeastern part of Dashang. The two city gates just form a horn shape with each other, firmly clamping down on Jiang Huanchu, the Marquis of Dongbo, one of the four great princes.

Yang Ling was also in the wedding procession.

In addition to attending the wedding of Li Jing and his wife, his main mission in going north this time was to eliminate the hidden danger of Yuan Hong.

Therefore, shortly after leaving the city, he left the main force behind.

Traveling with him were Li Jing and Yin Shiniang.

These two... mainly Yin Shiniang. This daughter of a general had long been fed up with curling up in the carriage. When she heard that Yang Ling was going to search for the traces of a demon fairy along the way, she immediately became interested.

Although Li Jing strongly opposed it on the grounds that Yin Shiniang was pregnant, he was ultimately unable to persuade her and could only follow her reluctantly.

Yang Ling originally didn't want to bring these two burdens, but Yin Shiniang confidently demonstrated her value - a unique secret skill to track demonic energy!

Her father, General Yin, was originally a demon catcher who knew the habits of all kinds of monsters very well.

Yin Shiniang learned skills from her father since she was young, and she has inherited the true skills.

Yang Ling had never seen Yuan Hong before and had no way to use Roaring Sky Dog to track him, so when he saw that Yin Shiniang had this unique secret skill, he immediately changed his mind.

Li Jing and Yin Shiniang controlled the sword light to form a "sphere" with a radius of ten feet, flying rapidly in the air.

Yang Ling's two Huangs were lost in the Xianglengquan Secret Realm. Now he had no mounts. The "Xing" puzzle was too fast, so he could only touch the sword lights of Li Jing and the others.

The three of them headed north.

Whenever she arrived at a place, Yin Shiniang would use her unique secret technique to detect the presence of monsters in the surroundings. It would not take long for her to accurately point out the traces of nearby mountain monsters, water monsters, and river spirits.

Yang Ling had never expected that in the prosperous and affluent human society, there were so many monsters hidden, and he had never expected that Yin Shiniang's trick would be so useful.

Immortals have their own path, and demons have their own way.

Everything in the world has its own strengths.

However, although they found many monsters along the way, they were unable to get any news about Yuan Hong.

Yang Ling was not surprised either.

Ever since Yuan Hong escaped from Heaven, Lord Haotian has sent heavenly soldiers and generals to pursue him for a long time, but there has been no news so far.

No matter how lucky he is, it is unlikely that he will find it right away.

He wasn't in a hurry either.

Anyway, Master Xuandu had helped him deduce that he would definitely be able to find Yuan Hong on the way to the North Sea, so he just had to search all the way there.

A few days later, the three arrived at Youhun Pass, which guards the important north-south road.

Li Jing saw that Yin Shiniang's excited face was a little tired, so he quickly found an opportunity to suggest, "Why don't we rest here for a night and set off again tomorrow.

By the way, you can also ask the local city god for information about Yuan Hong."

Yang Ling nodded. He also felt that Yin Shiniang was pregnant after all, so she shouldn't work too hard. The three of them entered Youhun Pass and went straight to the largest restaurant in the city, where they sat down by the window.

The restaurant was brightly lit, bustling with people of all kinds coming and going, making it extremely lively.

The three of them were wealthy and ordered a table full of delicacies from land and sea.

Yang Ling and the other two were enjoying the delicious food in the restaurant when suddenly there was a commotion at the door and five large men in black arrived.

Behind them were more than a dozen fat lambs, and they were instructing the waiters at the restaurant to vacate the stable for them to accommodate the lambs.

Seeing the plump lambs, Li Jing smiled and said to Yang Ling and Yin Shiniang beside him: "These lambs look really good. Why don't we buy one to try."

After saying that, Li Jing stood up and walked towards the men in black, took out a golden melon seed, and said with a smile: "My fellow warriors, can I trade this golden melon seed for a lamb?"

The leading man in black looked at the golden melon seeds in Li Jing's hand and shook his head expressionlessly: "No."

Li Jing thought that the other party felt that it was not enough, so he quickly expressed his willingness to add another golden melon seed, but the big man in black still refused coldly: "I said I won't change it, don't come and disturb us while we are drinking!"

Li Jing was still young at that time, and was somewhat embarrassed by being rejected coldly twice in a row.

At this time, a waiter in the restaurant saw this and hurried over to whisper: "These guests are not ordinary people, they are all the general's personal soldiers.

In recent years, he has become particularly fond of lambs, and has specially sent his personal soldiers to search for lambs for him..."

Hearing this, Yang Ling frowned slightly.

It's understandable that he likes to eat mutton, but isn't it a bit too strange to specifically ask his soldiers to search everywhere for lambs?

Could it be that General Xu only loved a certain part of the lamb, just like the "Chicken Tongue Prime Minister" who preferred to eat chicken tongues and was willing to kill hundreds of chickens at a time to make a chicken tongue banquet?
However, no matter how extravagant General Xu was, it had nothing to do with him.

He patted Li Jing's shoulder gently, signaling him not to bother him anymore.

Li Jing was still somewhat indignant.

He will soon inherit his father's mantle and become the general of Chentang Pass. Moreover, he is a disciple of Master Du'e from West Kunlun. Could he be afraid of General Xu?

Seeing this, the clerk whispered again: "It is said that General Xu of our Youhun Pass is a master of cultivating immortals. When he was young, he worshipped the immortal of Jiejiao as his master and learned a lot of skills!
Even his personal soldiers learned some strange magic skills. Each of them became extremely powerful, invulnerable to swords and spears, and extremely powerful!
These guests seem to be from other places, so it is better not to offend them."

Hearing that General Xu was a disciple of Jiejiao, Li Jing sat back at the table and looked at Yin Shiniang and whispered, "I'm not afraid of them, but they won't exchange the lamb, so we can't take it by force, right?"

Yin Shiniang: “…”

The noise in the restaurant did not diminish because of this little incident, and the diners continued to talk and drink.

At this time, Yang Ling noticed that the lambs in the stable were a little unusual.

They first bumped and jumped around in the stable, and then they piled up like a human pyramid, with seven or eight lambs forming a platform at the bottom, and the rest of the lambs stepped on their backs one by one to cross the fence and escape from the stable.

Yang Ling began to feel suspicious.

Such behavior is not something an ordinary lamb could do.

At this moment, the lamb that escaped from the stable first ran straight to a small water tank next to the restaurant door and lowered its head to drink a sip of water.

The next moment, the lamb was distorted by the fire, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a child of six or seven years old, with tattered clothes and a frightened face.

Afterwards, several other lambs that escaped also rushed over to drink the water, and their bodies all twisted and deformed, regaining their human form.

Yang Ling suddenly realized.

Make animals!

This rumored evil magic can turn people into various beasts.

It was obvious that all these children had fallen under this evil spell.

In this case, it seems that General Xu of Youhun Pass may not like to eat lambs, but these young children!
