The temple is located on a low hill. The surrounding scenery is nothing special and the temple is also ordinary, so there is basically no incense here.
As the two entered the temple, they smelled a bloody smell the first time.
As soon as I stepped into the hall, I saw two corpses with their heads ripped open. Who else could it be but Mrs. Li and Old Lady Xue?
There was also a male corpse that was completely unrecognizable, and judging by its shape, it looked like that of her eldest cousin.
She had no feelings for the people of the old Xue family. Seeing their bodies at this moment, she did not feel sad, but just a little uncomfortable. Their death was too tragic.
"Old Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Li were killed by giant ants, and Xue Zhan was beaten to death." Pei Ji made a judgment after taking a look.
The temple was not big, and the two of them walked around it quickly. Finally, they found a little monk kneeling in front of a tombstone in the back mountain.
It can be seen that the tombstone is newly erected, with two words written on it: "The tomb of the respected teacher Jingming, erected by the disciple Yuanhui."
Xue Huan stepped forward and called out, "Master Yuan Hui."
Yuan Hui slowly turned his head and saw two strangers in front of him, with expressions that showed neither joy nor sadness. "What's going on?"
Xue Huan was shocked by his appearance. One of his eye sockets was actually empty! The blood on his face had dried, and it looked really scary.
Pei Ji took a step forward and stood next to her, holding her hand under his sleeve.
"Young Master, has a giant ant demon insect been here before?"
Hearing the word "giant ant," Yuan Hui's emotions finally fluctuated. "Yes, it suddenly appeared on New Year's Eve. At that time..."
He told everything that happened after the giant ant appeared.
Finally he asked, "How did you know it?" A gleam of hatred flashed in his remaining eye.
Xue Huan said, "It transformed into Li's appearance and tried to enter the Phoenix Pond, but was revealed in its true form by the magic mirror above the city gate. We got the news and rushed over, followed its trail, found it, and killed it."
"What? It's dead?" Yuan Hui was shocked and confused. He had just sworn in front of his master's grave that he would find the giant ant and kill it to avenge him and his senior brother. He didn't expect that it was killed in the blink of an eye.
He felt both happy and disappointed.
"Is it really dead?"
Xue Huan waved her hand and took out the black iron box containing the giant ant's remains. She opened the box and said, "Here's its body."
Yuanhui walked over and saw a pile of broken bodies inside, but it was indeed the giant ant.
He was silent for a while, "Donor, could you give me a piece of its bone?"
Xue Huan: "Of course, which part do you want? You can choose for yourself."
Yuan Hui bent down and broke off a thumb-long bone from one of the giant ant's broken legs. He held it tightly in his hand and said, "Thank you very much, benefactor."
The giant ant was already dead, so he couldn't personally avenge his master and brother, but he could go hunt down other demon insects. All of these invading demon insects deserved death!
Obviously, because of the giant ants, Yuanhui hated the entire group of demon insects.
Xue Huan handed over a medicine bottle, "Here is a rejuvenation pill that can heal injuries. Take it."
Yuanhui did not refuse. He took the medicine bottle and bowed to her with one hand.
Xue Huan couldn't help but ask, "I wonder what Master's plans are for the future?"
Yuan Hui lowered his eyes and said, "Now I am the only monk left in the temple. I plan to return to secular life and become a demon hunter, hunting demon insects."
"Then I wish you success in passing the test, young master. We will meet again if we are lucky."
Yuan Hui bowed to the two of them and did not stand up until their backs were out of sight.

A year later, the Huo family formally proposed marriage to the Xue family, and the engagement process of Pei Ji and Xue Huan began.
However, she does not need to participate in these processes personally, as they are all handled by Xue's mother.
Xue Huan was impatient with all these red tapes and was happy to have some free time. No, she couldn't have some free time at all.
Refining the body, refining the energy, and refining the soul are all daily tasks. She also has to go to the soul world to attend classes every day. In addition, she also has to work hard for the cause of demon hunting.
For example, refining a magic mirror, refining various elixirs, compiling all kinds of knowledge about cultivation into a book and handing it over to the Demon Hunting Guild, etc.
It can be said that every day is busy and fulfilling.
When the school year started at Sanhuan College, Xue Huan put on the identity of "Zhao Xiaoxian" again and gave a lecture on cultivating immortals at the college.
Now there are more and more invading demon insects, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger. It is obviously unrealistic to rely solely on the power of the court and the five major families to fight against the demon insects. More people must practice martial arts and join the anti-demon army.
The martial arts academy had already offered courses, and many talented children had already started and were learning quite well.
However, cultivating immortals and practicing martial arts are completely different systems.
There is no threshold to martial arts training. Even if you have poor talent, as long as you are willing to work hard and have money to invest in resources, you will always be able to achieve something.
To cultivate immortality, one must first possess spiritual roots, just like one needs hands to learn painting.
But if you say that you can use your feet or mouth, then no one will say anything.
There are exceptions to everything, and this is certainly true for cultivating immortals. If one does not have spiritual roots but wants to cultivate immortality, there are ways to achieve it, such as taking over another person's body, setting up a formation to transfer one's soul into another body with spiritual roots, or using some method to take away someone else's spiritual roots.
This is a method of the devil.
There are also legitimate ways, such as being extremely lucky and eating some rare treasures to develop spiritual roots.
However, the above methods are either very extreme and not accepted by the general public, or very difficult to implement, and not everyone among billions of people may be lucky enough to do so.
Therefore, these methods are generally ignored. If you want to cultivate immortality, you still need spiritual roots.
After the lecture, Xue Huan took out the spirit stone and tested the students' spiritual roots.
There are only a few people with spiritual roots in ten thousand, so Xue Huan was surprised when ten people with spiritual roots were found out of the 308 students in the academy.
This probability is a bit too high.
But the more people with spiritual roots, the better.
Xue Huan opened a separate immortal cultivation class for these ten people, teaching them the knowledge of immortal cultivation every day. Of course, if others are interested, they can also take this course. There is no discrimination in teaching.
Even if other people do not have spiritual roots and are destined to be unable to embark on the path of cultivating immortals, there is no harm in knowing more about the knowledge of cultivating immortals.
In addition to the immortal cultivation class, she also added a magic insect class.
These students are not yet able to hunt the magic bugs, but it is necessary to understand them in advance and increase their knowledge about the magic bugs so that they can deal with them effectively when they encounter them in the future.
It's not just the Three-Hazard Academy. Due to the shift in the court's policies, many new academies have been added in counties and cities across the country, recruiting a large number of students to teach courses on magic insects and cultivating immortals, in order to reserve forces for the day when the magic insect army arrives.
Of course, hope will not all be placed on these students who have not yet grown up. Humanity still needs to strengthen its strength in other aspects.
Weapons, pills, defensive arrays...even the physical fitness of ordinary people must be improved.
Thanks to the efforts of various forces, Daqi's strength in all aspects is steadily increasing, and its appearance is changing with each passing day. Although the number of invading demon insects is increasing and their strength is getting stronger and stronger, Daqi has always held on and has not been defeated by the arrival of the demon insects.
Time flies, and two years have passed in a flash.
