Yue Shiru's expression and attitude were extremely polite and courteous.

The young Taoist thought about it and did not correct his mistake in addressing him. He just helped him heal his wounds. Yue Shiru sensed an extremely pure innate Qi that was definitely not from the Taoist level. He just thought that the young man in front of him was a real person with extraordinary cultivation and rejuvenation, who was playing around in the world, so his expression became more respectful.

Qi Wuhuo asked him what had happened.

Yue Shiru calmed himself down and told everything that had happened before.

However, he said that he came down the mountain on the orders of his master to look for the "person who responded to his dream" and to deliver a message for his senior sister.

Although his cultivation was not enough and he could neither control the wind nor fly into the clouds, he had the Armor Horse spell and could travel a thousand miles a day.

They had just arrived in Zhongzhou on this day, but when they settled in a village, they found that the village had changed. When they drank tea, there was miasma in the tea. There were quite a few people in the village, more than a hundred households, but it was extremely silent. There was no sound of people, no voices, even chickens and dogs.

When night fell, there was no light, and the whole village was pitch black, like a ferocious beast with its mouth open, wanting to swallow people.

Yue Shiru claims to be a Taoist and does have some skills.

Although he is not yet a Taoist master like the teacher, he is still something that ordinary people can do.

So he built an altar, summoned the ghost soldiers and generals, took out the talisman, burned it to ashes and dissolved it in water. He poured half of it on the magic sword and put the other half into the gourd, which he wore on one side of his waist. He then bit his finger and used his blood to draw the talisman on his clothes. When everything was ready, he rushed into the village and explored it.

When mentioning this incident, Yue Shiru still showed a trace of fear on his face.

Qi Wuhuo asked: "What happened?"

Yue Shiru came back to his senses from his memories, exhaled a breath, and said: "I'd like to let the Immortal know that when I went to investigate, I was besieged by many people. At the beginning, I didn't dare to take action at all. I could only tie my hands and feet and run left and right. It was really embarrassing."

"But later I found that these people were extremely swift and powerful, comparable to martial artists in the martial arts world, but they had no rules. When they attacked the disciples, the talismans on their clothes emitted a faint light. The disciples knew something was wrong, so they gritted their teeth and chopped off a man with their sword, but found that his muscles were already stiff and extremely resilient."

"When a sword cuts through the skin, the blood that flows out is all black, with a glue-like texture."

“It looks like it has been tempered.”

Qi Wuhuo's expression froze slightly.

After Yue Shiru's tense spirit relaxed, he told all the stories.

He was extremely tired that night.

After realizing that the people here had changed strangely, he considered retreating, considering that he was alone and not the kind of Taoist who could summon supernatural powers by just raising his hand. After all, he was just a Taoist, and to display his mysterious supernatural powers he had to perform rituals, which took time. Only by making preparations in advance could he bring his skills to full play. Such sudden events were not his forte, so he should have run away.

However, as disciples of the Taoist sect, we should protect the Tao with our bodies and kill any evil spirits we see.

He discovered that there were still people alive, so he had to keep dealing with them. After a night of embarrassment, all the talismans were used up. With the help of the living people, he set a trap, led all the villagers who had been killed and tempered to the middle, poured kerosene on them and burned them, and forcibly set up an altar for exorcism.

"Half of the people..."

Yue Shiru's face was filled with sadness and anger. He subconsciously clenched his hands tightly and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fully half of the people, more than fifty people, nearly three hundred people. Half of the people in this village are dead, but they are neither dead nor alive. Their bodies are dead, but their souls are trapped and cannot leave their bodies. I don't have enough means, so I can only burn their bodies to help their souls free."

"But at that moment, he was attacked by this mandrill."

"I just realized that this is the culprit. Mandrills are originally mountain monsters, but this one seems to have been infected by resentment, hatred, and evil spirits. It is no longer the original creature but has turned into a demon. However, it still retains the caution of a mandrill. I was not prepared for its sneak attack. To prevent the villagers from being harmed by it, I stabbed its waist with a sword. I didn't expect that the mandrill had such a strong evil spirit that my sword was shattered."

"I had no choice but to try to lure him away. Originally, I would have been doomed, but He seemed to be in a playful mood, teasing me instead of killing me. That's how I was able to run over a hundred miles away, see the real person, and survive."

After Yue Shiru finished speaking, he saw the young Taoist remained silent for a long time.

The young Taoist asked, "Half of the people?"

"yes……"

“It’s a remote village.”

Qi Wuhuo exhaled, and the jade book given by Tao Taigong emerged and turned into a map of the mountains and rivers of Zhongzhou. He asked, "Where is the approximate location of that village?" Yue Shiru was slightly stunned when he saw such a magic weapon for the first time, and then he quickly recognized it. After recognizing it, he pointed at a place not far from here and said:

"About here."

"Does the real person want to go to that village to take a look?"

"Um."

Yue Shiru breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I am also worried that there are other demons left. It would be best if you could go..." Seeing Qi Wuhuo looking at him, he said, "My injuries are fine. This place is not far from Zhongzhou City. The city has a strong aura of humanity, and ordinary demons dare not enter. After I enter the city, I will have a place to stay."

He paused and saw the young Taoist nodded slightly, then disappeared.

He couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. After a long time, he sighed and said, "...It's really a real person's method."

"Teacher has been in the innate Qi for thirty-six years, but he still can't do this."

He stood up by holding the tree next to him, jumped over and picked up his sword. He regretted that the baboon was destroyed by the thunder magic. Otherwise, even if the sword was broken, he would have pierced a few holes in the baboon's body to relieve his hatred.

Yue Shiru gritted his teeth, swung his sword fiercely, and then left.

"Aqi Aqi, did that big thing kill someone?"

"Um……"

The little peacock thought for a moment and asked, "How many are there over three hundred people..."

The young Taoist paused and replied, "A lot."

"It's heavy."

Wrapped in flowing light, he used the method of escaping underground like a god of earth and soon arrived at the village. In fact, it was already very obvious that a thick black smoke rushed up to the sky. It was previously only blocked by the mountain, but it became very clear when it got closer. There was a burnt smell in the air, especially the stench.

There even seemed to be a faint smell of meat, which made people even more nauseous.

The village was in ruins and charred everywhere.

There are many traces of fighting and burning.

The people passing by had numb faces. They were picking up broken things, patching up the holes in the houses, and tidying up the messy things. They kept those that were still usable, and were reluctant to throw away those that were no longer usable, so they had to put them aside. The whole village looked like an ant nest that had been doused with boiling water.

Chaos, death, numbness, and the need to continue living.

The young Taoist stood here quietly. He saw a shrine to the land god on one side. Originally, there was a clay statue of an old man sitting there, but now it was headless and there were marks of claws on its body. This kind of village had only a hundred households and a few hundred people. The land god was just an ordinary person. He was probably attacked by the mandrill at the first moment and died on the spot.

This kind of environment made Qi Wuhuo recall what happened in the past.

A woman saw Qi Wuhuo in a Taoist robe and walked over to ask, "Master Taoist..."

She looked to be about 20 years old, carrying a backpack with a sleeping child inside. She didn't know what to say, so she just said, "Just now there was also a Taoist priest who said he was a disciple of the Taoist sect and saved us." She paused, as if she remembered that the arsonist was also that Taoist priest, but she still asked:

"The Taoist priest, he led a monster away, I don't know if he..."

The young Taoist replied: "He is still alive."

The woman murmured: "That's good, that's good..."

"Ah, little Taoist priest, please wait here for a while."

"Wait a moment."

She turned around and ran into the house. When she came out, she had two steamed buns in her hands.

He patted the dust off the steamed bun, then carefully handed it to the young Taoist, saying, "Thank him. We don't have much else here but these. If you don't mind, please take them." When he stretched out his hand, he saw that the steamed bun was already burnt and covered with dust, so he was frightened and wanted to take it back.

The young Taoist took it and thanked him.

The woman went back.

She also had to help clean up the house, and there were many other things to do. Qi Wuhuo saw the corpses of the burned people gathered together, and there was probably no way to identify who was who, so he had to dig a big pit and bury them all.

A talented child of three or five years old suddenly started to make noises, "Sister, sister, where is mommy? Where is daddy?"

"Weren't we supposed to play hide and seek? Why haven't they come out yet?"

"Huh?! I smell it!"

“It’s the smell of meat.”

"We need to eat meat today, sister."

The woman who had given Qi Wuhuo the steamed bread earlier suddenly looked sad, and then she comforted him, "No."

"How about eating wowotou today?"

"It's steamed bread."

The child refused to give in and cried, "No, I won't!"

"I can clearly smell it, such delicious meat!"

"I want to eat meat!"

"Eat meat, eat meat!"

The woman looked extremely sad. She comforted the child for a long time, but the child became more and more noisy. So she slapped the child on the face as if she couldn't control herself. The child was stunned by the sound. But she saw that her sister was crying even harder than she was. So she stretched out her hand and put it on her sister, saying, "Sister, don't cry."

“I don’t eat meat anymore.”

"No, wait until Daddy and Mommy come back, then we'll have something delicious."

"We'll eat when Daddy and Mommy come back."

The woman was crying so hard that she was unrecognizable.

Burst into tears.

The young Taoist lowered his eyes, broke open the steamed bun, and gently placed it in front of the shrine of the land god who was killed for the village.

He walked in the village, which was not big, with only one main road, but he saw men numb and daughters suffering, children running around, endless sword marks and ashes, and no one to collect the bones in the village. He saw children sitting there, people coming and going without anyone caring, people crying and looking for their families, black bloodstains, and Yue Shiru's broken sword.

I saw the Taoist's severed head, and saw someone holding the head and crying, resenting the Taoist.

It was that Taoist who killed his mother, and it was that Taoist who saved him. He couldn't tell whether it was a favor or a hate, and could only burst into tears.

The young Taoist wanted to help, but the village did not seem to welcome him. Yue Shiru saved them, but it was also Yue Shiru who "killed" their relatives. These people could not tell the difference, or even if they could, the pain made it difficult for them to accept such a thing.

Qi Wuhuo saw the tragic scene, closed his eyes, felt the energy of the demons, thunder ran in his palm, swept his sleeves, and the evil spirits in the village dissipated. This was to prevent the dead bodies from reviving and turning into zombies. Only the thunder was huge and upright, and the heart was bright, which could destroy all evil.

"The miasma, evil spirits, hatred and other evil spirits are spreading, attracting all living beings into the barrier, turning them into demons and slaughtering all living beings..."

The young Taoist spoke each word with emphasis.

There is murderous intent in the words.

"Jinghe Dragon King..."

Should be executed!

He suppressed his emotions, left here and came to a nearby mountain. The escape of demonic energy would most likely lead to the escape of all evils, and even if the Arctic Exorcism Institute took action, it would be impossible to cover all the demons immediately and comprehensively. Their target must be the many big demons.

This can notify the gods of the earth and make them more vigilant, which is also a method.

The young Taoist bowed towards the mountain, held Yuan Qi in his mouth, and said slowly: "Qi Wuhuo, the mountain god of Helian Mountain in Beijun, Zhongzhou, is here to visit the other mountain gods." The mark of the mountain god was already outlined in his voice, and then the voice echoed, and a burst of earth god's energy spread out, and suddenly there was a stream of light, and a god general appeared majestically, wearing armor, and was extremely mighty.

He first looked at Qi Wuhuo, bowed slightly, and said politely:

"I am the guardian general of this place."

"I didn't know you were coming. May I ask what's your business?"

The young Taoist directly pointed out the importance of the matter and replied:

"The evil spirit has spread. This is a serious matter. Please see the mountain god of this place."

The god will ask: "Do you have a visiting card?"

The young Taoist shook his head.

The divine general paused, as if waiting for Qi Wuhuo to speak, but when he saw that the young Taoist did not respond, he patiently asked, "Your Excellency has come from afar, what [items] did you bring? How about I take them?"

Qi Wuhuo knew that this was a bribe, so he raised his eyes slightly, took out a pot of pills and handed it over.

The general held up the pill, weighed it, and shook it slightly, his expression showing a hint of contempt, and said:

"Please wait a moment, my dear guest."

"I will go and report to the mountain god."

After that, he did not invite the young man to the official residence of the earth god. He disappeared and followed the ground veins and went straight into the official residence of the earth god. There were sounds of stringed instruments and beautiful women singing and dancing. A middle-aged man, holding a fox beauty, was drinking with the guests. Hearing that the mountain god was coming, he waved his hand to stop singing and dancing and asked, "Do you have a visiting card?"

Seeing that the god shook his head, he asked again: "Did you bring any gifts?"

The general said, "It's just a furnace of Qi-nourishing Pills."

Then the middle-aged mountain god relaxed, looked around with a glass of wine in hand and said with a smile:

"Alas, you are just a poor mountain god from Northern County, who came here to seek refuge with me."

"I don't know what the matter is, but he has come to my house without a visiting card or a generous gift. I don't have the leisure time to meet him. Please don't mind it."

"Besides, what about the demonic energy he mentioned? There has been a demon appearing recently. I am afraid it will be another troublesome matter. He wants to come and look for me."

"It's better not to meet."

Then everyone raised their glasses, beauties sang and danced, with fine wine in the cups, wasn't it a peaceful and happy time?

Qi Wuhuo stood with his eyes closed, his mind seemed to have calmed down. After a moment, the god returned, but with a look of regret. He bowed and replied, "I'd like to let you know that my mountain god is now in seclusion, practicing and comprehending the profound Dharma. He really doesn't have the time to meet you."

"If you have anything to say, you might as well write a letter. My master will read it if he has time."

"Please leave, my dear guest."

"Practice in seclusion..."

Qi Wuhuo muttered to himself, he smelled the scent of wine, so he opened his eyes.

When Qi Wuhuo opened his eyes, the general saw that the young Taoist had peaceful eyes.

Taoism disciples should always have peaceful eyes.

But for some reason, it is extremely deep, like layers of clouds reaching high into the sky.

The young Taoist said, "I understand."

Then, without observing the etiquette, he slowly took a step forward in front of the divine general. The innate Qi in his body suddenly burst out, and endless thunder was fierce, outlining the [Five Thunder Judge Seal]. It was clear that the [Five Thunder Judge Seal] did not have the slightest magical power, but at this moment, Qi Wuhuo seemed to fit some characteristics of this seal, and the seal suddenly lit up and shook violently.

The thunder and lightning were running, and due to the means of the earth god, they went straight into the earth veins.

The young Taoist said, "The Jade Festival Mountain God..."

The voice fell peacefully.

Then there was a violent lightning, shining brightly on the earth and shaking the surrounding areas——

“Get out!!!!”
