Chapter 6 The sword energy is so evil and spooky!

Hongzhu used a tree branch as a crutch and limped along the mountain road, the ground covered with blood from her broken right leg.

She was deceived by that monster.

Two hours ago, the monster pretended to be frightened and disappeared into the forest.

She thought reinforcements had arrived, so she quickly chased after the monster in the direction it fled.

The chase took them all the way to the foot of the mountain, and she unknowingly broke through the maze and returned to the village.

She thought this meant the monster had been killed, and she was overjoyed.

Just then, a group of villagers came up and happily took her home, confirming her guess.

Hongzhu felt relieved. Although she was starving, she didn't think much about it and had a big meal at a villager's home.

After dinner, she lay down again under the persuasion of the villagers, ready to take a nap to replenish her energy before returning to the office to report.

Hongzhu was awakened by a sharp pain.

She opened her eyes and was shocked to see that she was tied up. Several villagers with their lower bodies turned into snake tails were surrounding her. A carpenter named Zhang was holding a saw and sawing her thigh vigorously.

His son was installing a wooden snake tail.

It was unknown what mechanism was installed on the snake's tail, but it could twist flexibly, but it was not enough to arouse her interest.

She screamed in agony, the pain making it difficult for her to even utter complete words to ask the villagers why they treated her like this.

Widow Xu, who was holding her upper body, quickly stuffed a piece of rag into her mouth and whispered softly in her ear, "Don't be afraid, your disability will be cured soon. The fake tail made by Carpenter Zhang is as flexible as the real one."

Hongzhu listened to what Widow Xu said, enduring the severe pain and connecting her discontinuous thoughts.

She looked at the wooden tail, thought about what Widow Xu meant, and suddenly understood.

The minds of these villagers have been changed by the viper. In their perception, a normal person should have a snake tail, not legs.

They thought it was for her good to saw off her legs and replace them with a tail.

Hongzhu was trembling all over, not only because of pain and fear, but also because of anger.

This monster not only wants to harm people, but also wants to play with people's hearts.

At that moment, anger even overwhelmed the fear and the intense pain.

She spat out the rag in her mouth, clicked her teeth seven times, and quickly chanted: "Refine the body to preserve, emerge from the scene to hide in the dark, the five spirits are separated, and the light is combined to fan the void. *"

Widow Xu and Carpenter Zhang paused and looked at the moving lips of the red candle in doubt and surprise.

"Is this girl possessed by an evil spirit?"

Carpenter Zhang was about to turn back and told his son to go and pray for the Snake God.

After reciting the spell, Hong Zhu's figure became vague for a few breaths. Carpenter Zhang and Widow Xu rubbed their eyes, and then saw that she had been untied and limped to the door.

Widow Xu quickly advised: "Girl, your tail has not been cured yet."

Carpenter Zhang raised the bloody saw and said enthusiastically, "Yes, don't leave in a hurry."

Hongzhu turned around and looked at them. The hand holding the talisman hesitated for a moment, then turned around and fled out of the room.

Hongzhu, who had lost half of his leg, barely stopped bleeding and made up his mind to fight the viper. However, he followed the viper's breath and returned to the Misty Mountain.

Obviously, it has found playing with the red candles fun.

"Come out if you can."

Hongzhu, who was moving forward with difficulty, took a breath, looked at the familiar snake corpses on the ground, and clenched his teeth.

…

Li Zhou walked into the thick fog and was surprised to find that the village looked different at night.

During the day, when the grandparents took her to patrol the village, the doors of every household were closed and the villagers observed them through the cracks in the doors.

At night, all the courtyard doors were opened, and everyone looked contented, some were picking vegetables, some were chopping wood, some were making fires... The smoke from the cooking stove was curling up, and if you didn't pay attention to the lower bodies of these villagers, this seemed like a very peaceful village.

Looking at the slender snake tails of the villagers swimming around, Li Zhou silently pulled out Zhibeiyou.

"You guys..." She stood at the door of a house and said slowly, "...you guys are not wearing pants."

The family was about to say something, but when they heard her words, they were stunned.

Li Zhou said sternly, "You are violating morals and bringing disgrace to the village! I will arrest you all."

The family of five looked at each other, with expressions of worry and pain flashing across their faces, as if they were being torn between two thoughts.

In the end, worry prevailed.

Five people surrounded Li Zhou and said, "Don't be afraid, girl. We are here to help you cure your disability."

They picked up axes, sickles and saws from the ground. The saw was stained with blood, as if it had been used to treat someone else.

Li Zhou had been waiting for this moment for a long time and went forward happily.

Somehow a sentence popped into her mind.

“When you have no thoughts and no worries, you will know; when you have no place and no clothes, you will be at peace with the Tao; when you have no origin and no way, you will find the Tao.＊”

What does this mean?

She was confused for a moment, then put it behind her and continued to look at the monstrous villagers.

She knew that these villagers were not evil spirits but merely victims, so she only swung her sword at their limbs and avoided their vital parts.

She felt that she was so gentle.

However, in the eyes of the villagers who were twisting their snake tails, the female swordsman in the moon-white robe strode towards them. With every step, a halo composed of worms would appear on the sword.

When she walked in front of them, the halo had already overflowed a palm's width, and they watched helplessly as she waved her hand, and the worms rushed over one after another, densely packed and flying wildly.

The fat body twisted back and forth, and the round mouthparts opened and closed, forming a soft ribbon made of worms.

What a disgusting and horrifying sight.

The snake-tailed villagers, whose bodies were covered with scales, felt their heartbeats speed up to the extreme in an instant. They screamed and avoided the worms flying like ribbons. They realized that every time they were touched, they would lose a little bit of their vitality.

Evil, evil!

The monster-like villagers were terrified and wanted to beg for mercy from the female swordsman, but they were horrified to find that the facial features of the female swordsman had melted away at some point, and she had lost her face, sometimes square, sometimes round, sometimes disappearing, and sometimes existing.

When her head disappeared, everyone felt dizzy.

Amid a burst of uniform screams, the five members of the family couldn't breathe in one breath and fainted at the same time.

At this point, Li Zhou had just raised the sword and swung it a bit.

"I haven't run into you yet." She looked at the villagers lying on the ground in confusion, "Are you trying to scam me?"

The villagers lay peacefully on the ground for a long time without getting up. She paused, looked at Zhi Beiyou who was lying quietly in her hands, and said with sudden enlightenment: "Have I reached the realm of releasing sword energy?"

This is the only explanation.

Li Zhou thought with surprise that since she had such a good foundation, she would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when cultivating to become an immortal.
