I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 1000 Alien Beasts
The three of them set off, but Li Ming went to Chamdo City first. He and Xu Daoxian got along very well, so he went forward to say goodbye to him.

The auspicious cloud that the three people were riding on landed at the City Lord's Mansion. The people in the courtyard were all dumbfounded when they saw the auspicious cloud slowly descending from the sky. Although there were some rumors recently that the City Lord knew the old immortal in the mountains, no one had actually seen him, so everyone was skeptical. However, after seeing him today, everyone was convinced.

Some of the servants and maids in the mansion were already kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and shouting "Gods, Gods!"
Such a commotion naturally quickly attracted Xu Daoxian to come out. Seeing that it was Li Ming, he was naturally overjoyed and hurried forward to say.

"I've seen the immortal!"

Li Ming smiled slightly and said, "I have been traveling around a lot and never stay in one place for long. Now that the matter with the Song family has been resolved, I am about to set off. I came here to say goodbye to Mr. Xu."

Xu Daoxian was shocked when he heard this and quickly said, "Master, you have been in the mountains for these days, but I have not fulfilled my duty as a good host. Are you leaving now? I was able to take up my post safely because of your help. No matter what, please stay and let me practice for you!"

Li Ming smiled and shook his head, saying, "We have long since withdrawn from worldly affairs. Besides, you are busy with mundane affairs in the city, so there is no need to be so. As long as we handle government affairs well and benefit the people, it will be our repayment."

"The Immortal Master is indeed generous. But..." Xu Daoxian looked embarrassed.

Li Ming said, "Just say it if you have anything to say."

Xu Daoxian didn't beat around the bush and simply bowed again, saying, "I've just arrived in Changdu City and have just gotten familiar with government affairs. I'm not afraid of anything else, but there's one thing I can't handle with my mortal body. Please, Immortal, give me some help. The people of this city will surely be grateful!"

Hearing him say that a mortal body couldn't solve it, Li Ming smiled and asked, "What's the problem? Tell me first."

Xu Daoxian nodded and said, "Three Immortals, this is a long story. Please come in and have some tea. We will talk about it slowly."

Li Ming looked at Gusong and Li Tianyun, and they looked at each other. They didn't seem to have any objection, so the three of them followed Xu Daoxian into the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion.

After a few people sat down, Xu Daoxian asked someone to make tea, and he began to complain.

"My fellow immortals, you may not know this, but Changdu City is located in a remote area, beyond the reach of the imperial court. As the saying goes, high mountains and distant waters breed monsters. At first, I was a little skeptical, but in recent days, a strange thing has happened. Changdu City is well-developed due to the Yinsha River, which is very popular with merchants and tourists. But just seven days ago, a monster appeared in the river!"

"Are there monsters?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows. Although there are many monsters and demons in this world, there are few that harm people openly. Even if there are some who occupy the mountains and act like kings, they will not act recklessly in such a densely populated area.

After all, not to mention the law of reincarnation and karma, the cultivators everywhere are not pushovers either. They are all waiting for their good deeds to be rewarded. If there are any foolish people who mess around, they would have been gone long ago!
After all, this is still a world dominated by humanity, and the two main camps are good and evil, not humans and monsters!

Seeing that Li Ming wanted to ask more questions, Xu Daoxian immediately followed suit.

"I didn't believe it at first, but then the river froze over, making it difficult for boats of all sizes to sail. Even though it's winter now, there's not a single snowflake in the sky. How could it freeze all of a sudden?"

"Not only that, but due to the ice, ships couldn't cross, so some people bravely used ice skates to travel. However, the once solid ice surface would inexplicably crack as soon as someone crossed it, and those who fell through never came back up. Hundreds of people are missing now!"

Li Ming showed a thoughtful expression, then looked at Gusong and Li Tianyun.

"I want to investigate a little. What do you two brothers think?"

Putting aside Gusong, Li Tianyun is a righteous young man, and he has always been close to Li Ming, so he would never say a word against him. If he didn't know about this incident, it would be fine. But if he knew about it, even if Li Ming didn't mention it, he would have to take a closer look.

"As cultivators of Taoism, we are supposed to subdue demons and monsters. Let's go now without further delay!" Li Tianyun said with a smile.

Gu Song said, "It's just a small matter. It doesn't matter whether you go or not."

At this time, the maid who had gone to make tea had just brought the tea over. Seeing that several people had already stood up to leave, the maid quickly knelt down and apologized.

"It's okay, it's no problem. Go and prepare the horses and inform the others that the immortal is going to subdue the demon!" Xu Daoxian didn't care and gave another order.

However, Li Ming and the other two had already left on the auspicious clouds. When Xu Daoxian came out again, there were already a large group of officials outside the door. They had heard the news and rushed there just to see the immortal.

Seeing this, Xu Daoxian simply smiled and said, "I have asked the three immortals to come here to subdue the demons in Yinsha River. Everyone, please come with me!"

On the banks of the Yinsha River.

"The River God appeared in my dream last night. He told me that if I offered him a pair of pure women, he would relinquish his magical powers and bless us with good weather and good harvests."

In front of the ice, an old man with colorful paint on his face was muttering to himself.

There was a large group of villagers below him, and they were also talking about it.

“Are there really river gods?”

"Never heard of it before?"

"Who knows? But Old Man Wang is quite capable. He was the one who settled the matter when Widow Zhao's family was in trouble."

"Oh, there are a few children without parents in our village. Why not just send them there first?"

……

It is so rare that the river is frozen and can eat people, it is hard not to believe it.

Besides, the candidates were originally a pair of helpless sisters, and there was no other choice, so they took a wait-and-see attitude towards this.

At this moment, a group of auspicious clouds appeared in the sky. Li Ming and the other two looked down from the cloud and saw that the entire Yinsha River had frozen into ice, and the cold was overwhelming!

"There's no demonic aura?"

Li Ming said softly.

Li Tianyun nodded and said, "Although this place seems a bit strange, there isn't any bad aura. As for the ghosts and evil spirits, they shouldn't be completely devoid of any aura, right?"

At this time, the lone pine tree, which was the oldest and looked the youngest, smiled.

"You only know one side of the story. The demonic energy must first become established, and a non-human being with awakened intelligence must have achieved success in cultivation. Only then can it be considered a demon. However, there are countless exotic beasts in this world, and many have special abilities. Even if they haven't awakened their intelligence and rely solely on instinct, they still have powers beyond the imagination of ordinary people. However, they are still only beasts, not demons. Seeing this scene, I remembered a record in the "Atlas of Exotic Beasts". There is a beast called 'Qi' that looks like a giant salamander with seven tails. Wherever it goes, it turns water into ice and enjoys eating people's hearts and livers."

"'Qi'? There is such a strange beast!" Li Tianyun looked like he had learned something new. Li Ming also laughed. Although he has a good cultivation base and extraordinary magical powers, his understanding of this world is still a little lacking. He doesn't know many secrets, so he can only smile politely.

PS: I'm on vacation at home and busy with mundane things. I'm sorry to everyone for taking the time to write.
