Before the sun sets, every household has closed their doors.
Although the village chief intended to hide the matter from these people, the villagers of Chongtou Mountain realized that something was wrong when they saw the way Shen Jinggu and his group came to the village. Regardless of the purpose of the talisman, they hid in their houses before it got dark. The village, which was originally quite lively, became completely deserted.
After distributing the talismans, the village chief looked at the closed doors and breathed a sigh of relief. He then looked at Chen Jinggu and the others, "Then I'll have to trouble you, the immortal masters."
After saying that, the village chief bent down again and bowed to Shen Jinggu and others.
"No need. Exorcising demons and defending the Way is the duty of us cultivators. You should hurry back to your room."
"By the way, remember no matter what happens outside, no matter who calls you, don't go out." Seeing that the village chief came to thank them again, the disciples hurriedly helped him up and urged him one after another.
When he stood up again, there were traces of tears on the village chief's old face. Looking at the immortal master in front of him, his voice choked several times, but he couldn't say anything. After hesitating for a long time, he walked towards his house.
He didn't know what their village had done to deserve such bad things, but it seemed that they could escape.
Looking at the village chief's staggering steps, the new disciples felt that they had been entrusted with a sacred mission and inevitably became excited.
Chen Jinggu took out the map of Chongtou Village and placed it on a wooden table in front of everyone's gaze. He then pointed out the place where monsters were most likely to appear.
The new disciples' eyes followed Shen Jinggu's hand. After a long while, Yang Huaimin was the first to break the silence, "Brother Shen, are there monsters in these places?"
Yang Huaimin's eyes lit up slightly, and his tone was filled with expectation and doubt.
When the others heard Yang Huaimin's words, they all raised their heads, obviously having the same idea as Yang Huaimin.
Chen Jinggu turned his gaze away from the map, looked at the extremely expectant crowd, and said calmly: "No, there are definitely no monsters in these places. I circled them to tell you not to waste your time going there."
The new disciples were obviously stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that the usually serious Shen Jinggu would say such teasing words. After they came to their senses, they put their eyes back on the map.
Senior Brother Shen has marked quite a few places, but there are also many places that are not marked.
The new disciples looked solemn. They didn't expect that there would be so many monsters hiding in such a place with scarce spiritual energy.
Shen Jinggu ignored the surprised looks from these people. After a brief pause, he spoke again, "The purpose of this training is mainly to help you gain practical combat experience. Although these are just a few minor demons causing trouble here, we cannot let our guard down."
"I hope you can all remain calm and take this trial seriously."
"If you encounter an emergency, crush the wooden sign at your waist. Put your life first and do not act rashly."
The wooden plaques were prepared by the disciples who practiced talismans.
By carving the formation on a wooden sign and applying a secret technique, the owner of the sign can be teleported to a safe place the moment it is crushed.
After the instructions were given, the disciples naturally did not hesitate. They turned around and went out. They took out a compass that could detect evil spirits and began to look for monsters.

He Song's matter did not get covered up as Xu Shan wished.
Therefore, when Xu Shan saw Chen Jinggu in his yard, he was stunned and stared at the uninvited guest in the yard with a dull look.
"Why is the Immortal Master here?" Xu Shan looked at Chen Jinggu who appeared out of nowhere in the yard. He no longer had the confidence to block him at the village entrance, and a little sweat appeared on his forehead.
He didn't want to see Chen Jinggu at this time, so he spoke again with a bit of flattery: "There are no monsters here, I'm afraid the immortal master has found the wrong place."
Chen Jinggu looked at the somewhat panicked Xu Shan in front of him, his eyes slightly cold, and he opened his lips softly: "I want to ask you about someone."
"I wonder who the Immortal Master wants to find out about?" Xu Shan didn't expect that Shen Jinggu would come to him for this kind of thing, but thinking of his purpose, he still spoke very politely: "I will tell you everything I know."
Seeing Xu Shan's cooperation, Shen Jinggu spoke rudely: "Yuan Qing."
Xu Shan: ...
"Master, why are you asking about my wife?" Xu Shan was obviously stunned and no longer had the mind to deal with the situation. His eyes fell on Shen Jinggu with an unfriendly look.
Chen Jinggu didn't care about Xu Shan's malicious expression. He just said thoughtfully, "I heard that she was seriously ill a few months ago?"
"This should have nothing to do with the Immortal Master, right?"
Chen Jinggu's words seemed to have crossed Xu Shan's line. Xu Shan's tone lost its previous politeness and instead had a hint of hostility. "Master, if you have nothing else to do, go catch the monster. Why waste your time here with me?"
As he said that, Xu Shan wanted to go into the inner room and lock the door to avoid Chen Jinggu, but at this moment a spiritual sword was placed directly next to his neck.
"Do you know what the consequences of harboring a monster are?"
Although Xu Shan is a hunter, he is just an ordinary person after all. He would be afraid if someone put a sword on his neck. But after hearing what Shen Jinggu said, his neck stiffened:
"What does this mean, Immortal Master? Are you suspecting Qing Niang is a monster?"
Shen Jinggu did not respond, but the sword that Xu Shan did not put down from his neck showed his position.
Xu Shan's legs began to tremble uncontrollably. He carefully raised his hand to the sword, wanting to push it away but lacking the courage. His voice trembled slightly:
