Chapter 434 The Source of the Ghost Lord’s Resentment

Unfortunately, the ancestor’s talent was limited, and he was unable to cultivate any spiritual roots until his death, and none of his descendants had spiritual roots.

The first ancestor feared that after his death, this secret book would bring disaster to his descendants, so he hid his identity until his death and ordered his descendants to bury the treasure with him.

In the second half of the stone tablet, the ancestor pleaded that if anyone later could break the magic circle and dig up his tomb, whether they were tomb robbers or monks, please take the treasures and never harm his descendants.

After reading Zhu Chuideng, all the doubts in my mind were resolved one by one.

It turned out that his mother had borrowed the spiritual energy from the ancestor's tomb, turned into a ghost after her death, and gave birth to him with a strong obsession.

The monk who heard the baby crying at night and carried him out of his mother's tomb accidentally discovered that there was a treasure hidden in the ancestor's tomb.

The monk hid in the mountains for several years and tried hard to break the magic circle but failed. He killed his father to force him to tell him how to break the magic circle, but he was seen by him and cursed to death.

It turns out that the Zhu family does have hidden treasures.

Is this the treasure that my uncle has always wanted?

My uncle is not a cultivator, so why does he need this secret book?

Zhu Chuideng was thinking when someone on top of the grave asked timidly, "Brother Deng, are you still alive?"

"I'm fine." Zhu Chuideng replied, wrapped the treasure box with the ancestor's robes, packed it into a package, put it on his back, and climbed out from the bottom of the grave.

It was much busier outside than before he went to the fields.

In addition to the brothers who went up the mountain with him, the village chief and several elders also came. In the outermost circle, there was a group of people who risked their lives to go up the mountain to watch the excitement.

The village chief nervously asked Zhu Chuideng, "What's so strange about your ancestral tomb?"

The village chief has been busy dealing with the monsters in the village, and his hair has turned white at the age of fifty. He watched Zhu Chuideng grow up, and he has been very caring and loving to the half-orphan Zhu Chuideng.

Zhu Chuideng didn't want to hide it from the village chief, but it was impossible to hide it. Half of the village saw something in his ancestral grave.

In front of everyone present, he opened the package on his back and let everyone see what he brought out from underground.

Simply tell the story of the ancestor.

After hearing this, everyone was amazed and proud.

A golden phoenix cannot fly out of a mountain cave. When has there ever been a monk in this area?

Monks are gods who fly around in the sky and exorcise demons. They are really good at building houses.

The village chief asked Zhu Chuideng, "What are you going to do with these treasures?"

Everyone looked at Zhu Chuideng with envy.

Although Zhu Chuideng has no spiritual roots, he can at least exchange his family secret manual for a place as an outer disciple by presenting it to the immortal sect in the city.

In such troubled times, with the protection of a sect, even if one cannot practice cultivation, one can still learn some Taoist methods to prolong life and live to over a hundred years old.

Zhu Chuideng has a good appearance and a good figure. If he can get the favor of some senior or junior sister in the immortal sect and become a Taoist partner with her, he can get some elixirs and magic medicines to eat and drink. If he develops spiritual roots, oh, that would be incredible.

Zhu Chuideng already has a plan.

"The monks from the sects are unwilling to come to our village to exorcise demons, simply because they think the benefits we offer are not enough."

"I plan to take the treasure and go to the Xianque Sect to knock on the gate and ask their monks to exorcise the demon."

Zhu Chuideng did not use the treasure for personal gain, but was willing to give up his chance to rise to prominence for the village.

The village chief and the people present were deeply moved after hearing this.

The village chief grabbed Zhu Chuideng's hand and said repeatedly, "Good, good! You are so kind. I thank you on behalf of our village."

Zhu Chuideng made an agreement with the village chief on the spot and decided to set off tomorrow to ask for help from Xianque Sect.

The villagers' hearts were filled with hope and everyone was excited.

Xianque Sect is the most famous sect of immortal cultivation in this area, and legends of them slaying demons with swords and upholding justice are spread everywhere.

If the cultivators from Xianque Sect are willing to come, Chepan Village will definitely be able to escape the predicament of being eaten by monsters and beasts.

Ye Xiaoman watched in the crowd, feeling somewhat sad.

She was very sure that the secret book that Zhu Chuideng dug out from the ground was definitely not the treasure that Jing Zhui had been looking for.

The Zhu family's ancestral tomb had been dug up by Jing Zhui a long time ago. If the treasure was this secret book, Jing Zhui would have taken it away long ago.

Jing Zhui simply looked down upon this kind of thing.

This book "The Art of Longevity" records the method of quickly improving the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Stage. It was very precious to the small casual cultivators thousands of years ago, and it was also very precious to small local sects like the Xianque Sect.

But in the Qingzheng Sect where Ye Xiaoman was, a truly famous and prestigious sect, it was just an ordinary cultivation instruction manual. Every outer sect disciple had one, and they used it to pad the corners of a broken table.

Jing Zhui showed Ye Xiaoman the memories of Zhu Chuideng when he was still alive, and she knew how things would develop later.

Zhu Chuideng took the family heirloom to Xianque Sect, but what he encountered was not a savior, but misfortune.

Xianque Sect received offerings from Zhuchuideng and sent people to subdue the demon.

The monks thought it was an ordinary monster, but after arriving at Chepan Village for an on-site investigation, they suddenly discovered that the monster was the legendary ancient supreme ferocious beast: the Taotie beast.

The Taotie beast was born just half a year ago, less than one year old, and its strength was still weak. Of course, it could be killed with the combined strength of the entire Xianque Sect.

However, the leader of the Xianque Sect changed his mind after receiving the information sent back by his disciples.

Not all monsters can be included in the wanted list.

The reputation of the Taotie beast has shaken the world throughout history, but if it is kind-hearted, does not kill and only eats vegetarian food, or does not kill many people, monks cannot kill it at will because of its preciousness.

Even if an ordinary monster is unknown, as long as it has killed thousands or tens of thousands of people, it will be directly put on the wanted list and hunted down by cultivators all over the world.

The Xianque Sect calculated that the gluttonous beast in Chepan Village had only eaten two or three hundred people, which did not meet the standard for killing. They could only beat it up and then suppress it back underground.

If this Taotie beast had eaten thousands or tens of thousands of people, the nature of the situation would be completely different. The Xianque Sect could have killed it directly, and because of the Taotie beast's outstanding status as an ancient monster, killing one would be worth 100,000 times the points of an ordinary monster.

With the help of this gluttonous beast, the sect leader can change his unknown status in this life, rank higher than millions or even tens of millions of cultivators of the same level, step onto the Kunlun Mountain Heavenly Ranking, and become famous throughout the world.

The physique of the Taotie beasts that eat a large number of people will become more superior. He can also use the corpses of the monsters to bribe the Taoist ancestors of the big sects. If he can become an inner disciple, his path to Taoism will be smooth from then on.

Gain both fame and fortune!

The sect leader was overjoyed. With a single order, the Xianque Sect committed a heinous crime.

The monks first blocked the news so that outsiders could not know the situation in Chepan Village.

They captured the Taotie beast and used magic to make it fall into a state of extreme hunger.

Then they used a magic circle to seal off the village, cutting off all escape routes for the villagers and trapping them in the tomb-like village.

Finally, the weapons used by the villagers to resist the monsters were confiscated.

Release the Taotie beast into Chepan Village to face the unarmed mortals.

It took the gluttonous beast, which was less than one year old, half a year to eat more than 6,000 people.

Chepan Village became a hell on earth.

For half a year, each day felt like a year. The living watched their relatives and friends being eaten one after another, and perhaps they would be the next one to be eaten. No one cared about how the person who survived and was eaten would feel.

Only Zhu Chuideng knows.
