Chapter 53
However, before nightfall, strange things happened one after another. All the roosters and hens in the village began to crow, and later the dogs also began to bark. This was the so-called chaos.
By evening, flocks of crows, forming a black mass, circled over the village.
Black crows covering the sky have been a bad omen since ancient times.
I was a little nervous and quickly called Erma and Liu Danchen. They were also quite surprised after hearing the scene I described. They told me to rush to my place immediately and not to make any rash moves before they arrived.
But until evening, I didn't even see their shadows.
I stood in Grandma Lu's yard with a heavy heart, looking at the sky.
At this moment, the lights in the house suddenly went out. I walked into the house and Grandma Lu said it seemed like there was a power outage.
When I left Grandma Lu's house, I saw the entire village was in darkness. Sure enough, the power was out. I quickly pulled out my phone, but there was no signal either.
Oops!
Liu Danchen and Erma haven't arrived yet. How can I contact them later?
A strong and cold wind blew from the village entrance. I told Grandma Lu not to come out and quickly ran to the village entrance.
Fortunately, it is dark now. After the power outage in the village, everyone has gone to bed and no one will come out. Otherwise, if I really fight with the evil creatures, I will have to take them into consideration.
When I ran to the walnut tree at the entrance of the village, I saw that the walnuts on the tree had turned into human heads growing on the tree, their bloodshot eyes glaring at me. Being stared at by so many dead eyes, I felt a chill in my heart and my hair stood on end.
Without time to think, I summoned my fire bell and set it ablaze at the walnut trees. As soon as my bell fire touched the walnut trees, the human heads on them began to laugh, and one by one, they fell from the trees, smashing the bell fire. This yin energy was so strong that it could actually extinguish my bell fire.
At that moment, I suddenly remembered how Grandma Lu said these walnut trees were this tall when she was a child. With such a powerful yin energy, they must be hundreds or even thousands of years old. I didn't dare to be careless. I immediately used bell fire to form a circle around the village entrance to prevent them from entering and harming anyone. Knowing the bell fire might not be powerful enough, I simultaneously used Golden Feather Flying Arrows to shoot eighteen golden arrows into the ground, forming a seven-step demon-suppressing formation.
I increased the fire power and continued to burn the walnut tree. If it weren't for my ghost spirit that could restrain all evil things in the world, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to cope with it.
I didn't expect to fight the walnut tree before Liu Danchen and the others arrived. The funny thing is, until now, I still haven't seen the true face of this evil creature. Could it be that the three thousand-year-old walnut trees have become spirits? That's a possibility.
As my bell fire burned, more and more heads fell to the ground. What's more, some heads actually opened their mouths, sucked in the flames, and finally exploded and died.
It seems that I won’t be able to destroy the three walnut trees unless I get rid of these heads all over the ground.
I immediately changed my mind. Such a dense crowd of people is easy to deal with, but it will require more spirits.
I withdrew the bell fire, and a lightning and fire bead emerged from my hand. I threw it directly into the center. Within the formation, a double destructive force of heavenly thunder and earthly fire shattered the human heads scattered across the ground. Those heads whimpered within the formation, eventually transforming into yin energy, attempting to enter the ground to nourish the walnut tree. However, my lightning and fire bead was extraordinary, incinerating the dense yin energy completely.
After dealing with the human heads on the ground, I used the bell fire to burn the walnut tree again.
The leaves on the trees began to rustle, followed by a shaking of the ground.
I stumbled, trying to maintain my balance, but collapsed. Then I saw the ground rising, so I quickly crawled and jumped out of the formation. When I landed, I saw the three walnut trees actually moved.
At this moment, someone outside the village suddenly shouted, "Little sister!"
Two beams of bright light came from outside the village. They were car lights. Liu Danchen and Erma had arrived.
The two of them quickly ran over and looked at the three walnut trees with me.
A large amount of evil energy gushed out from the ground, and blood began to ooze out of the ground like a spring, flowing endlessly.
"How can there be such a huge evil spirit!" Liu Danchen was shocked.
"I'm afraid the target this time is a bit tricky. Fortunately, I felt that the intelligence was wrong in advance, so I called you. Otherwise, I really couldn't handle it alone." I said with lingering fear.
While the three of us were talking, the three walnut trees actually began to move.
"What on earth is this!" Erma said in shock.
Liu Danchen and I were also so surprised that we couldn't close our mouths. These were not walnut trees at all. Their lower parts were connected together to form an extremely thick root. There were no roots at the root. It was a giant trunk that was thicker than three walnut trees combined!
Such a thick, thousand-year-old tree is just the surface.
“Boom.”
There was a crackling sound next to us.
The ground began to crack.
Landslides and earthquakes are just like this.
Then we saw a shadow as tall as the mountain emerging from the crumbling mountain.
Those three walnut trees are actually its fingers!
The three of us were shocked beyond words. Who could have imagined that such a huge evil god would be hiding here?
I quickly took out my cell phone, but there was still no signal. It seemed that it had already locked onto this place.
The three of us looked at it warily. It slowly revealed its entire form. It was so tall that people would believe it was a mountain god.
Only after it fully transformed and appeared before us did I get a clear look at its full form. The entire evil god must have been over fifty meters tall. If it moved a finger, it would have been enough to kill the three of us.
"Retreat!" Liu Danchen spoke first.
The three of us quickly retreated outside the village, but it had already set up a barrier there.
The three of us could clearly see outside the village entrance, but unfortunately we couldn't get out.
I immediately condensed a lightning and fire bead and blasted it towards the barrier. Seeing this, Liu Danchen and Erma also used their best abilities to attack the barrier together with me.
With the combined efforts of the three of us, we broke through the barrier and ran out quickly.
I quickly took out my cell phone to make a call, but before I could, several extremely powerful righteous energies appeared around me!
I looked around in surprise, and after a few moments, several figures appeared in front of us.
He is actually the elder of the Xuanzhen Bureau!
They looked at the evil god at the village entrance with the same fear, and said to us at the same time: "Leave this place quickly, leave this place to us!"
It seems that the elders of the Xuanzhen Bureau also noticed something was wrong, so they rushed over quickly.
When the evil god saw these heavenly masters, he began to feel uneasy and raised his other arm.
That's not an arm. When I saw it, I remembered the story that Grandma Lu told about the big snake drinking water. It seems that it was not a rumor, but a fact, because its other arm is the giant snake.
"Elder, there are still villagers in the village!" I said anxiously.
"Go!" The elder shouted loudly when he saw the evil god making some moves.
The three of us knew we couldn't help them and would become a burden, so we left immediately.
I drove away quickly, but before I had driven a hundred meters, I felt uneasy, so I immediately turned the car around and drove south along the river outside the village.
Because I heard from Grandma Lu that the big snake was drinking water in the river in the south. Although we can't help the elders, we can take the opportunity to rescue the villagers.
"Where are you going?" Liu Danchen said in a serious tone.
"There should be a shortcut to the south, and we can rescue the villagers!" I stepped on the accelerator and the car drove quickly towards the confluence of the rivers in the south.
Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, we saw a river in front of us with a bridge across it, which looked like it had been built not long ago.
I drove over the bridge, turned off the highway, and headed north. In three or five minutes, I reached the southern entrance of Sanhetao Ridge. I parked the car, turned on the high beams, and rushed into the village with Liu Danchen and Erma. Worried about Grandma Lu's safety, I headed straight for her home. Liu Danchen and Erma went door to door, calling the villagers out from south to north.
The noise made by the evil spirit had already startled the villagers out, but since they had no good lighting and couldn't see what was in the distance, they all thought it was an earthquake. I went to Grandma Lu's house and found her hiding in the yard. I grabbed her and walked out of the village.
"Hurry up, there's an earthquake, leave the village!"
Hearing my calls, most of the villagers came out, with only a few stubbornly hiding in their homes. I had no choice but to let Erma drive ahead while Liu Danchen and I led a large group of villagers south.
When we arrived at the new bridge, a dazzling light came from the village.
It seemed that the elders of the Xuanzhen Bureau and the evil god had already started fighting. We quickened our journey and finally called the bureau to ask them to properly resettle these villagers.
The violent energy fluctuations made it impossible for us to get close, and we could only watch them fight from the outside. After an hour of fighting, their battle had reached a fever pitch.
After seeing the position of the elder of the Xuanzhen Bureau, I exclaimed, "Eight-Direction Demon-Slaying Formation!"
"What!" Liu Danchen was shocked.
The Eight-Direction Demon-Exorcising Formation requires eight Heavenly Master-level figures to stand in eight directions and use eight different spells to exorcise demons.
Only the Xuanzhen Bureau could create such a formation. Even the Taoist Tianshi Mansion, the most powerful one, only has three Tianshi-level figures!
"What kind of evil creature is it that requires the use of such a formation?"
Just as Liu Danchen was sighing, eight colors of light converged in the center, and the eight elders, each holding a magic weapon, slashed at the evil god below together.
We were blown away at the same time, and the shock wave from the outside alone made us vomit blood.
With such a huge amount of energy, even if the evil god is a thousand-year-old monster, he will be destroyed both physically and spiritually.
As I expected, the barrier set up by the evil god was broken, and the evil energy began to dissipate. It seems that it is really dead.
We helped each other up, and surprisingly, the elders who were supposed to show up did not show up.
"Go and save people!" I had a bad feeling and quickly ran to the center of the battle.
After hearing my shouts, they came to their senses and followed me to the village entrance.
At this time, the evil god had disappeared without a trace, and the eight elders were lying on the ground, breathless and unable to move.
We didn't have time to be surprised and quickly rescued the person.
