Chapter 97 Who is the evil cultivator?

Tao Xian was calling out to Lin Du, but the one who took action was Xia Tianwu, who had never spoken a word to him from beginning to end.

Xia Tianwu grasped the jade buckle at her waist and pulled out a soft sword with a cold glow, which was very much like her personality.

But then the air emitted several zigzag rays of light like a dragon, and the next moment there was a crackling sound - the frost that Lin Du had left in the house had not yet completely dissipated, and the mist in the air was like falling into a hot iron pot and it boiled directly.

Lin Du did not move. Her spiritual awareness was far superior to that of ordinary people, but that did not mean she could just withdraw when she was looking at the condition of someone's soul.

What's more, this is a mortal. If he wants to check the condition of a soul, he must be more careful to avoid hurting anyone.

What broke through the ground was none other than vines.

The vines, which were eerily green in the light and rustled with a bit of dust, broke through the bricks, causing the bricks to crack, and the gravel they brought out scattered all over the ground like falling rain.

It has only been a few years since Xia Tian got the strange fire. Although it has not been fully smelted yet and he cannot do the delicate work, he is more than capable of making it. It is clearly a soft sword, and it has easily entangled itself around a vine.

When Tao Xianyuguang saw this scene, he was about to ask how this kung fu could stop the evil creature, but then he saw the woman retract her hand, and the soft sword wrapped around the vine ignited a circle of thin fire the moment it was pulled out. Although the vine was a living thing and could not be ignited, it could be pierced open, and the cut surface burned into a piece of withered yellow flour with a crackling sound.

And when he swung his sword just now, the thing was not cut so cleanly and neatly, and branches grew quickly. But after Xia Tianwu's attack, the thing did not grow back.

Although he already knew that the Supreme Sect did not support idle people, he still found it outrageous.

The pregnant woman on the bed opened her eyes in panic and kept saying, "The Moon God is here to punish me."

Lin Du turned his head expressionlessly and saw the two men holding swords and fighting against the new vines that kept growing, and then suddenly walked out.

She didn't even go through the door, but directly opened the nearest window, and jumped out with one hand. Then she had a handful of black, crooked and shattered pills in her hand.

Lin Du went straight to the well, slowly summoned out his spiritual power, then poured it all into the pill and threw it all directly into the Moon Well inside.

The handful of pills seemed to be scattered randomly, and fell into the air with a rustle, but they were all on the vines, and none of them fell into the well.

Just like the kids who are so bold during Chinese New Year that they dare to throw firecrackers into it no matter what.

A huge explosion was heard, the vines were blown into pieces, and countless green branches flew into the sky. The air was filled not with the sound of gunpowder smoke from the explosion, but with the aroma of various herbs.

The scorching fire aura hit his face. Lin Du held his breath, raised the hand holding the folding fan casually, and then knocked away the broken branch that was blown into the air.

The Moonlight Vine can regenerate after being cut, but now the vines near the well have been blown up by Lin Du, so it has to decide where to regenerate if it wants to.

Lin Du suddenly noticed that a piece of vine was hit back. His skin tensed up in an instant, and the spiritual power in his dantian surged out rapidly. He turned around to look, but there was no one.

There was such a big commotion, but no one came out.

Lin Du suddenly realized something, "Who? Is it the Seventh Senior Sister?"

"Your Seventh Senior Sister probably can't set up such a large barrier. The noise is so loud and there's no one to block out the sound for you. I'm afraid you're going to be pinned to the ground and beaten by the whole village."

The space was slightly trembling. A person who shouldn't be here was standing calmly among the corpses covered with vines. He was still wearing a bamboo hat, but apart from his sky-blue monk robe, he didn't look like a monk at all.

Lin Du heaved a sigh of relief, then raised his voice again, "What are you doing here?"

There was no respect for age, and they didn't even call each other by their names.

Wei Zhi walked up to Lin Du without saying a word, with a incense board in his hand. With a snap, a golden light flashed, and he pressed down the vine that had just sprouted new buds.

Lin Du: ...Is it still possible?

She suddenly noticed something, "Your demon mark..."

It spread again.

At least it was much larger than when I first saw it, like a wildly growing vine, and now had fine red lines extending below the collar.

Wei Zhi hummed, "There's no other way. It takes time to digest a dragon and suppress its evil spirit."

He was surprisingly calm, as if nothing had happened. Lin Du didn't want to care about him and turned to look at the real root of the vine.

"The roots are also underground throughout the village, covering the entire area."

He warned, "If you want to remove it, this village will be gone."

"Is this the reason why they can't leave the village?" Lin Du knew that Wei Zhi and Lin Tuan were probably related in some way, so he was not as vigilant as last time.

"Almost." Wei Zhi paused and turned to look at Lin Du. "The person we caught last time pointed to this place, so I came to take a look."

Lin Du frowned slightly, and his mind quickly started to work, "But..."

"It's not that this place was destroyed by that person. He was here before and made an advancement." As soon as Wei Zhi saw her frown, he knew that this person was going to think about a lot of things again.

"It's strange, isn't it? I succeeded in advancing by hiding the secrets of heaven." He smiled, with a hint of self-mockery on his face, "So I came to see how they conceal the secrets of heaven. This thing is useful to me."

He stated his purpose straightforwardly, fearing that Lin Du would ask again, "What good will it do for you?"

Lin Du asked again, "What kind of evil thing is this vine?"

"It's not an evil thing. Don't you find that this vine is full of vitality and spiritual energy? How can it be an evil thing? It's more like a spiritual thing." Wei Zhi answered her question in a good temper. After all, it is normal for children to be curious.

He paused, "You are a formation master. I don't know what Yan Ye taught you, but the Feng Shui of this village was revitalized because of the veins of this vine."

Lin Du nodded, "I know this."

"But you're right to say it's an evil creature." Wei Zhi changed the subject, "Because it's constantly draining the vitality of the villagers."

Lin Du's mind had already changed. "It's not an evil creature, but the person who uses it is an evil cultivator?"

Wei Zhi swung the incense board in his hand down again. This time, the vines that had just popped out were directly turned into fine mist.

Lin Du roughly knew what this thing was. It was called an incense board, but it was actually a ruler. He was indeed a good teacher.

Wei Zhi looked down at the child. "It is the vine's instinct to absorb spiritual energy and extract vitality because it needs to grow. If it is planted in a person's body, it will become an evil creature if it is not an evil creature."

"The fruit of the moonlight vine." Lin Du has figured it out.

The entire village was originally built on the hillside and beside the water. It seemed to have excellent feng shui, but it was still a dead place. Only with the well as a living source and the moon vine as a formation, did this beautiful place come alive.

But the people behind this are certainly not doing charity, the village needs to pay a price.

The price is human life and freedom.

Men who eat the fruit become a contribution of vitality, while women become a tool for reproduction.

Just like cattle and sheep kept in a pen, the bulls are eaten for meat and the cows give birth to calves.

"But... why is it the life force of men... and what are the women chosen by the Moon God?"

Lin Du frowned, and suddenly a laugh sounded above her head, and the ruler fell on her forehead, "Why do you always like to frown at such a young age? You think so much, and look, you have white hair."

She was stunned and subconsciously retorted, "You don't even have any hair."

…

Wei Zhi withdrew his hand, then turned sideways and hit the well hard with the board again. This time, not only the new vines and branches that emerged were cracked, but also the ground and the well.

Lin Du's voice weakened a little, "Monks don't tell lies, how could I have white hair?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Wei Zhi was amused. He raised his hand and took the water from the Moon Well and made a mirror. "Look at your hair and see if it's white. You can't say you dyed it with frost."

He was afraid that the child couldn't see it, so he also made a water mirror behind her head. The moonlight fell, making the water mirror a little hazy.

However, Lin Du still saw a strand of lifeless white hair exposed under the neatly tied bun on the left side of his head.

It's awful.

"It's not ugly...it's actually quite...playful," the Danger Stopper broke the mirror, and was afraid that the child would lose his temper, so he comforted him, "I just want you to think less at your age..."

Lin Du said quietly, "I think it's this vine that has drained the vitality from my hair."

She turned her head, stared at the vine, and said in a sinister tone, "It's better to remove it."

Wei Zhi: Who is the evil cultivator?

This kid is clearly overusing his brain. Why doesn't he look for the reason within himself?

Wei Zhi's expression suddenly froze as he looked at the well that had clearly cracked just now but was now intact.

This stone... has a lot of secrets.

He wondered why such a village that made deals with the "evil god" had not been discovered by the Heavenly Dao. It turned out that it was the material for this eye of the formation.

Otherwise, this kid would have blown up the vines, revealing the stones, and also blown away the aura of the Heaven-Fixing Stone, and he still wouldn't have noticed.

He glanced at the child who was about to frown again and said, "Okay, I'll remove the vines."

It is impossible for Lin Du alone to remove the vines that cover the entire village.
