Chapter 69 It’s not that you can’t find it, it’s that you didn’t find it
As he walked along the wilderness mountain roads, he often saw corpses abandoned on the roadside, with no one to pick them up and just leaving them in the wilderness. Whenever he came across such corpses, he would bury them properly.
"Master, why are you always sighing?" Fox Daji asked curiously.
After the people sent the Taoist priest to the city gate, they all looked at him and watched them leave. At that moment, she deeply felt how meaningful what the Taoist priest had done was.
As for whether her sister felt it or not, she didn't care at all.
Lin Fan sighed, "I came down the mountain to slay demons and monsters in order to uphold justice, not to make the people grateful to me. Now that I have become famous, our actions will be exposed to the public, which may cause a lot of inconvenience."
Fox Daji pondered, her eyes rolling, and an idea came to her mind, "But the people are grateful to the Taoist priest from the bottom of their hearts. At the same time, the Taoist priest's reputation can also be spread, which can well deter those evil people and let them know that there are people in this world who can rule over them."
"Yeah." Lin Fan nodded and agreed: "That makes sense. I was overthinking it."
Fox Daji said: "The Taoist priest has a splendid mind and a simple appearance. He does not compete with the secular world for fame and fortune. He is indifferent to fame and fortune. But in Daji's opinion, the Taoist priest's reputation should spread all over the world to severely intimidate those jackals, tigers and leopards."
“Well said. There must be a teacher among three people. I can teach you Taoism and also learn things from you.” Lin Fan said.
Fox Daji smiled brightly.
The cat Miaomiao standing by stared at her sister and the Taoist priest with wide eyes.
She couldn't get a word in.
I always feel a little out of place.
move on.
The Taoist priest walked in front with an axe and an umbrella on his back, looking around from time to time.
Fox Daji and Cat Miaomiao slowed down and followed behind.
"elder sister."
"Um?"
"Why are you always able to answer the Taoist's questions, and seem so relaxed? Can you teach me?" Mao Miaomiao was very envious and wanted to learn.
Fox Daji asked with a smile: "Do you know what kind of Taoist priest he is?"
"Merciful."
"You, don't always use standard clichés on the Taoist priest. You have to understand the Taoist priest's character, otherwise it will be difficult for your sister to teach you."
"Ah? Sister, please, tell me then."
"It's not that I won't tell you, but you need to figure it out yourself."
“…”
Without giving Cat Miaomiao a chance to act coquettishly, Fox Daji caught up with the Taoist priest. She really thought that her elder sister was stupid. She really wanted to tell Miaomiao everything. With this girl's brain, who knows if she would have a flash of inspiration one day and say something that would shake her position.
Night falls.
They didn't encounter any villages or towns. Their feet were not fast, so they just walked around and looked around. What if they missed some evil spirits? In the night, a dilapidated house came into view. It stood alone in the wilderness. Above the door, a plaque was vaguely visible with the three characters "Yiyun Mansion" engraved on it. This was their temporary place to stay tonight.
The scene inside the palace was chilling. It was overgrown with weeds, some buildings had collapsed, and the ruins looked even more eerie and terrifying under the cover of night.
Judging from the degree of desolation, it has gone through at least several decades of wind and rain.
In a house without a door, Lin Fan sat cross-legged with a solemn expression. He lit a flesh spirit incense in front of him. As the smoke swirled, he practiced the method of nourishing the mind with food. In the fragrant mist, there seemed to be a hideous and distorted face roaring silently, but it could not escape the bondage of this fragrance, and it rushed into his mouth and nose.
suddenly!
Lin Fan's speed of absorbing the Flesh Spirit Incense suddenly increased dramatically. The slow-burning Flesh Spirit Incense burned quickly, and in the blink of an eye, one stick of Flesh Spirit Incense was burned to the bottom.
Lin Fan's hands danced like a butterfly flying through flowers, and his hand gestures changed constantly. Every time the hand seals changed, a gleam of spiritual light flashed, and the invisible fluctuations of magic power spread out in all directions like water waves with him as the center.
Instantly, he took out two sticks of flesh incense from his bosom, lit them, put them close to his nose, and took a deep breath. The rich fragrance mist poured into his body like a river flowing into the sea.
"It's done."
Lin Fan's eyes sparkled brightly, and as he took in his breath, the flames of the burning bonfire swayed wildly, and returned to normal after a moment. Although it didn't look like there was much movement, he had actually already stepped into the fourth level of Qi Refining.
"Hahaha, I am indeed a genius in cultivation. I have absorbed a large amount of high-grade flesh spirit incense and spent several months to finally reach the fourth level. I am sure that my master will be pleased with me if he is still alive in heaven." Lin Fan was in a good mood and his laughter echoed in the night sky.
The master often said that practicing is difficult.
Each level is more difficult than the last.
In his opinion, it wasn't that difficult.
Ultimately it's a question of talent.
"Congratulations, Taoist Priest. Congratulations, Taoist Priest." Fox Daji immediately congratulated.
"Me too."
At night, the cat Miaomiao just felt that his brain was not very clear.
Too lazy to use my brain.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "No need to congratulate me. I have worked hard step by step, and now my breakthrough is a natural result. From now on, with my magical power, I will see if there are any demons and evil spirits who dare to act presumptuously in front of me. Ouch... Not good."
Suddenly, his expression changed.
The two women became nervous instantly.
Fox Daji asked hurriedly: "Master, what's wrong?"
She felt that if the Taoist priest was so frightened, it must be a big deal.
Lin Fan regretted it so much that he said, "When I killed the Yinsha guardian, he said that there was a demon in the North Territory. When I was in the city, I forgot to ask Master for information. Have you heard of the demon in the North Territory?"
The two women looked at each other and felt that the Taoist priest thought too highly of them.
I don’t even know where the Northern Territory is.
How can we know who the devil is? "Master, we don't know."
Lin Fan said, "It's alright, I'm just asking. When I have the chance to meet you in the future, I'll ask you."
He then checked what he had gained in Fuling County.
Merit: 10.8
Not bad.
The merits bestowed by those three monsters were not small, but unfortunately the ordinary members seemed a bit weak. Most of them had no skills, and even if they did, it was only 0.1.
It is really shameful for you to not work hard in your cultivation and yet dare to be a demon.
Without thinking too much, I started distributing merit points.
The Netherworld Soul-Capture Eye and the Merciful Demon-Saving Spell are both still at a minor level, this is definitely not going to work, and these two main spells must be thoroughly upgraded.
Divide equally.
Improve! Improve! Improve!
Give the Taoist a big promotion.
With the investment of merit points, the insights of spiritual practice emerged like mushrooms after rain, and they could not be stopped from flowing in the mind.
He didn't know to what extent the merit points he invested could help him cultivate the two spells. The main reason was that the proficiency of the two spells was too high, with only three thousand merit points in the minor success stage.
Moreover, the level of proficiency that improves is not fixed. For some spells, only a little merit is needed to cultivate them to perfection, but for some spells, the level of proficiency that improves is very slow.
All we can say is that the limit of improvement is related to the difficulty of the spell.
In an instant.
The font in the spell column blurred and disappeared, and with a flash of light, new fonts appeared.
[Spell: Netherworld Soul Capture (Great 320/4000)]
[Buddhism: Compassion to save demons (Great Achievement 600/4000)]
"It's too difficult." Lin Fan thought to himself. If he didn't have the help of merit points, even if he had an amazing talent for cultivation, not inferior to Master Guiwu, it would take him an unimaginable amount of time to cultivate a spell to perfection.
But the life span of practitioners is guaranteed.
Master Guiwu is already this old, but he is still full of energy. Given that condition, it should not be a problem for him to live for another few decades.
…
In the darkness of the night, the sound of clear bells suddenly rang out, coming from far away and getting closer.
The sound was accompanied by a dull and rhythmic jumping sound, and soon after, a thin man wearing simple cloth and with a moustache appeared in the field of vision.
He held the bell in one hand and the wine gourd in the other, and walked leisurely to the door.
When the man saw someone in the house, a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes, but it was soon replaced by a friendly smile: "Good evening, everyone. I wonder if you can do me a favor and let me rest here for a while?"
Lin Fan looked at the other party and responded with a smile, "It's okay. This is an unowned place. It's just a first come, first served basis. Please do as you please."
"Thank you very much. Don't panic, I'll get my goods in first."
After saying that, the man with the mustache stood at the door, shaking the bell in his hand, which tinkled with a slight fluctuation of magic power. Then several corpses wrapped in cloth bags with yellow talismans stuck on the bags jumped into the house. With the other party's arrangement, the corpses were arranged in an orderly manner against the wall.
This scene caught Lin Fan's attention.
The scene of corpse-driving emerged in my mind.
After finishing all this, the man with the mustache began to observe Lin Fan and the others carefully. Although he had no expression on his face, he was actually surprised in his heart. The other party seemed to be wearing Taoist robes, but the color of the robes was a little wrong.
"My name is Zhong Facai. Are you a Taoist priest?" Zhong Facai asked.
"I'm Xuan Dian, from Chaotian Taoist Temple." Lin Fan nodded.
Zhong Facai said happily: "I didn't expect that he really is a Taoist priest."
This is much safer.
It is not easy to drive corpses out nowadays, not to mention what to do when encountering monsters and demons. Sometimes you may encounter a group of vicious men with knives, who are even more ferocious than monsters and demons.
At this time, Zhong Facai quietly looked at the two women surrounding the campfire. He was not attracted by their appearance, but sniffed their noses.
My heart sank suddenly.
He has been dealing with corpses for half his life and is very sensitive to smells. Although the evil smell emanating from the two women is much more subtle, it is definitely unmistakable.
He pretended to drink some wine, moved closer to Lin Fan, and whispered, "Master, are they in the same group with you?"
"Yeah." Lin Fan responded.
In Zhong Facai's mind, there emerged a picture of a young Taoist priest with no Taoist skills being bewitched by two demons. Not knowing the other party's true identity, he became the fish in the eyes of the two demons, and was just about to be sucked away by the demons when the two demons got tired of playing with him.
Thinking of this, Zhong Facai's head began to buzz.
He is good at driving corpses, but his skills are much weaker when dealing with goblins.
但想了想，钟发财还是贴着林凡的耳朵道：“小道士，你知不知道她们不是人，他们是……”
林凡笑着打断他，“是妖，对吧。”
“啊，你知道？”钟发财连连后退，离得林凡远远，似乎做好随时爆发冲突的准备一般，既然知道是妖，为何还会待在一起，结局只有一种，那就是，他们是一伙的，而他们待在这里，就是等猎物上钩。
猎物是谁？
显而易见，就是他钟发财。
林凡见对方面露警惕，笑着道：“自然知道，她们是跟随贫道修行的信徒，施主无需害怕，我们没有恶意。”
钟发财没有因为林凡说没有恶意，就放下戒备，出来混就得警惕，否则死都不知道怎么死的。
“妖与人怎么可能在一起，你们别以为我钟发财是愣头青，我见过的场面比你们多得多，休想骗我。”钟发财大声说话，以此来给自己打气。
林凡道：“贫道玄颠，来自朝天道观。”
钟发财道：“你别颠颠的，就算你是痴，你是傻，也别想让我信你们，想我钟发财赶尸这么多年，方圆几十里的妖魔都被我杀的干干净净，你们最好赶紧离开。”
“唉。”林凡轻叹着，“你不认识贫道？”
“老子认你奶奶的腿，与妖混在一起，能是什么好人。”
片刻后。
“哎呀，我一看到道长就知道道长出自名门正派，朝天道观我早有耳闻，威名了不得的，要不是方圆几十里就我一个赶尸的，我早就去朝天道观拜访一番了。”
钟发财满脸笑意，对着林凡就是大吹特吹，吹的同时余光悄悄的瞥了一眼正在外面飘荡的魂魄们。
好家伙，他就想问问，你们有谁经历过数头青摄鬼飘在面前的场景？那沸腾的鬼气，吸一口就觉得通体发寒。
林凡笑道：“钟施主平常一直在外面，不怎么去附近的城里吗？”
钟发财道：“没去过，我就赶尸的，如今这世道每天死的人太多，我这业务都被排的满满，忙的那是晕头转向，连歇息的机会都没有。道长你瞧这些尸体，都是死在外面的，我就送他们回家乡落叶归根。”
“落叶归……”林凡感叹道：“钟师傅让客死他乡的亡人回归到家乡，倒也是一件善事，不知道钟师傅是如何操控尸体的，莫非是什么道术？”
“不瞒道长，道术不敢说，就是一门小术而已，名为控尸术，手持控尸铃，贴上特定的符纸，铃铛一响，他们就会动弹。”钟发财谦虚的说道。
“术无小术，钟师傅的这门控尸术神奇的很，不知能否传授给贫道。”林凡问道。
“啊？道长，这是我吃饭的家伙事啊。”
钟发财惊愣，他觉得对方想学控尸术，不会是想抢他的生意吧，以道长的能耐，到哪混不开，真没必要的。
林凡道：“钟师傅别紧张，听贫道说完，贫道愿意拿别的法术与钟师傅相互交流，甚至是钱财都行。”
听到这番话，钟发财琢磨着，人家道长说愿意用别的法术交流，也不是不行的。
就算人家强取豪夺，又能如何。
他还能有反抗的能力不成？想通后，钟发财试探性的问道：“那道长能不能用刚刚控阴魂的法术换呀。”
“好，没问题。”林凡笑道：“那法术名为炼魂术，倒是不难修炼，你整日跟尸体打交道，难免也要跟阴魂频频碰面，贫道先传授给你。”
说完，他也不给钟发财说话的机会，将炼魂术的修行之法全盘说出。
修炼这么多年的钟发财还没到炼气一层，说明资质是有限的，但学习新的法术，只要将修行之法牢记在心，慢慢也能修成。
随后钟发财将控尸术的修行法说出。
林凡听得很仔细，片刻后，法术一栏将其记录下来。
【法术：控尸术（未入门0/30）】
好简单的法术。
就这熟练度连扎纸术都不如，不过他是绝对不会瞧不起任何法术的。
只要不断进阶。
甭管法术都将蜕变成惊天动地的神通之术。
“钟师傅，你走南闯北，你觉得周围那个村镇或县较为混乱？”
想要继续斩妖除魔，除恶扬善，凭借自己寻找，那是万万不行的，得从他人口中得知，可以省去很多弯路。
钟发财道：“道长，你这就问对人了，要说这周围，我第一个劝不要去的就是涪陵县，那地方的崔家跟黄天教可不是好惹的，一般我都不接送到涪陵县的尸体。”
林凡道：“以后你可以接了。”
“为什么？”钟发财好奇道。
林凡道：“因为那地方的崔家跟黄天教已经被消灭了，近期之内肯定是没问题的。”
“还能有这好事？谁干的，这胆子未免也太大了吧。”钟发财惊呼着，崔家跟黄天教可不是谁都能得罪的。
“就是贫道。”林凡淡然说道。
钟发财惊愣片刻，随即道：“道长，佩服。”
林凡摆手道：“你接着说。”
此时的钟发财好像有些拘谨了，不像先前那般的大大咧咧，道：“道长，除了涪陵县，那剩下的就属黄沙镇了，那地方有妖，还是大妖？”
林凡想到在黄天教找到的册子，“黄鼠大仙？”
“对，对。”钟发财连连点头道：“就是黄鼠大仙，有着可怕的妖法，能够操控黄沙，将人变成沙人，那地方我是去都没去过。”
说着说着，钟发财的脸色就变得惶恐起来。
“多谢钟师傅，贫道倒要去看看这黄鼠大仙有何本事。”
“道长，那你可得小心啊。”
“无妨。”
……
次日，晨光初照，双方分道扬镳，钟发财继续赶尸，而林凡带着两女朝着黄沙镇的方向走去。
随着他们逐渐接近黄沙镇，林凡注意到了路途中的不寻常之处。
地面上布满了无数鼠洞，周围的树木似乎也遭受了啃食，树根处留有道道口牙的痕迹。
在田地间，百姓们正弯腰劳作，种植着作物。
林凡站在田边，发现田地里有许多老鼠肆无忌惮地流窜，它们将未收割的庄稼压倒，咯吱咯吱地啃食着上面的粮食。
这些老鼠似乎并不怕人，甚至在看到林凡时，还昂着头，用绿豆般的眼睛盯着他，发出啾啾的叫声。
似乎在说：看你妈呀！！！
但当它们的目光转向猫妙妙时，却立刻露出了恐惧的神情，仿佛见到了天敌一般，灰溜溜地逃回了田洞中。
田地间的飒飒声引起了百姓们的注意，他们起身迷茫地四处张望，只见黑压压的鼠群正朝着远方涌去。
“道长，这些老鼠是什么情况？”猫妙妙好奇地问道。
林凡微微一笑，回答道：“因为你。”
“我？我又没吓它们，它们跑什么呀。”猫妙妙疑惑的很，我就往这一站，还什么都没说呢。
狐妲己轻轻地敲了敲妹妹的脑袋，“妹妹，你傻呀，你是猫妖，猫，猫呀。”
“对哦。”猫妙妙恍然大悟，嘿嘿笑道：“它们是老鼠，见到我的确要跑。道长，妙妙要主动请缨。”
林凡瞧着猫妙妙，笑着道：“你请什么？”
猫妙妙昂首挺胸，“一直以来，都是道长斩妖除魔，妙妙也想斩妖除魔。那黄沙岭的黄鼠小妖就交给妙妙吧。”
一旁的狐妲己听懵了，瞪着眼瞧着妹妹。
6◇9◇书◇吧
我的天？自家妹妹何时如此凶猛了。
能占据一个镇的妖，那可不是她们这种小妖所能相比的，虽然她们这段时间随着道长吸收了不少精气血神，但跟那种活了好几百年的妖相比，那是没有可比性的。
“好。”林凡笑着，“既然妙妙也想斩妖除魔，那黄鼠小妖就交给妙妙。”
“谢谢道长。”
林凡走到一位正在田地间劳作的百姓面前，问道：“这位施主，田地间如此多的老鼠，你们这样种粮食，岂不是被这群老鼠给嚯嚯掉了，为何不将老鼠给清掉呢？”
这位百姓听到林凡这番话，目光浮现恐色，没有理睬林凡，拿起种田的工具，一句话没说，匆匆的跑了这感觉就好像林凡他们是吃人的猛虎似的。
别的百姓似得到消息一样，全都一窝蜂的朝着远方跑去。
林凡瞧着他们逃离的背影，自言自语道：“贫道浩然正气浑厚的如汪洋大海一般，出现在任何人面前，就能让对方放下戒备，可这群百姓见贫道如见妖魔，足以说明那妖对他们的迫害有多么的大。”
狐妲己道：“道长所言极是，妲己觉得她们心中似乎仅有恐惧了。”
猫妙妙继续昂着脑袋，道：“道长放心，妙妙一定要替这群百姓祛除恐惧，让他们知道，道长来了，青天就来了。”
诶！诶！诶！妹妹你怎能抢姐姐台词。
“好，好，妙妙随贫道修行，如今也有斩妖除魔之心，贫道甚是欣慰，走，咱们去黄沙镇。”林凡从不会打消她人的冲劲，有想法是好事。
至于结果如何，那不重要。
能有这种敢想敢干的想法，最为重要。
想他砍死师傅，就是因为有了想法，随即付出行动，才能有所收获，否则仅想不心动，那就是纸上谈兵，没半点鸟用。
……
黄沙镇的街道上，阳光透过尘埃，洒在一位骑着马的中年男子身上，他腰间配着刀，神态从容，眉宇间透露出一股威严。
镇里的百姓见到他，纷纷低下头。
这骑马的人可不是他们能招惹的。
人家可是监察司的监察使。
杨蜀的眉头从进入到黄沙镇就没松开过，整个镇里散发着一种难以忍受的臭味，还时不时的有老鼠到处乱爬，导致他连这里的半点食物都难以下口。
鬼知道这些食物是不是老鼠吃剩下的。
忽然，一声凄厉的惨叫划破了镇子的宁静，“啊啊啊……我的儿啊。”
杨蜀顺着声音看去，就见一位妇人悲痛欲绝，抱着一个刚出生没多久，还在襁褓里的婴儿，他不知发生何事，靠近询问，妇人将襁褓打开，只见其中婴儿血淋淋，触目惊心，身体被咬的稀烂，甚至连眼珠都被啃掉了一只。
啾啾！
老鼠的叫声传来，一只肥大的老鼠从婴儿的脑袋里钻了出来，叼着似脑子的东西，飞快的跑掉。
周围百姓不敢动弹，见鼠也不敢打，看向妇女的目光中透露着无奈。
杨蜀眉头凝成川字，骑着马来到一间屋前，下马后，他将马绳缠绕在一旁的柱子上，这时，又有几声啾啾传来，数只眼睛通红的老鼠不知从何处窜出，围绕着马儿，虎视眈眈。
马儿受到惊吓，抬蹄躁动。
“滚！”
一声呵斥，吓退这些老鼠。
杨蜀吐出一口气，他最不愿来的地方就是黄沙镇，可惜没办法，此地是他负责之地，就算不来都不行。
走到门前，伸手推门，门吱呀作响地敞开，一股浓郁的血腥味扑面而来，他不由自主地捂住口鼻，挥手驱散面前令人作呕的空气，随后定神看去，在那桌前，坐着一位身穿宽松灰袍，露着鼠脑袋的妖。
粗长的鼠尾巴从灰袍落在地面，时不时的扫动了两下。
桌上摆放着一道道人类佳肴。
清蒸脑袋，红烧后腿肉，爆炒肘子，心肝脾肺大杂烩。
鼠妖拿着一条血淋淋的肉腿，两颗大门牙锋利无比，吭哧吭哧的啃着肉，将肉啃干净，又贪婪地吸吮骨髓，随后，它扭过那颗鼠头，用一双狡猾而残忍的眼睛，打量着站在门口的杨蜀。
“呦，我说是谁呢，原来是杨兄，来，请坐，到了兄弟这边无需见外，随便点。”鼠妖咧嘴微笑，露出一排沾满血迹和肉渣的牙齿，缝隙间还残留着人的毛发。
杨蜀强忍着胃部的不适，迈步走进屋内，他从一旁拉出长条凳坐下，目光扫过桌上的食物，只觉得一阵反胃，即便是见过无数大场面的他，也难以容忍这样的情况。
“我说鼠兄，你该管管你的子孙后代了吧。”杨蜀的声音低沉。
“你教我做事？”
鼠妖的眼神瞬间变得凶戾，死死地盯着杨蜀，仿佛是在说，注意你的身份，认你才会与你说两句，不认你就是桌上的盘中餐。
杨蜀没有说话，而是盯着鼠妖。
屋内昏暗而血腥，一片死寂中，只有一只胆大的老鼠顺着桌腿悄悄爬上桌面，瞧了眼鼠妖，抱着一块肉啾啾的跑开。
突然，鼠妖爆发出一阵大笑，打破了屋内的宁静，“杨兄，你这人平日可从不会来我这里，今日什么风把你吹来了，有话就说，我最喜欢与你们人类打交道。”
鼠妖一边说着，一边抬手擦去嘴角的血迹，随意地往自己早已沾满斑斑劣迹的灰袍上抹去。
杨蜀掏出一张通缉令，放在桌上，“想让你找个人，他是个道士，道号玄颠，惹了不少事情出来。”
鼠妖用爪子抓起通缉令，漫不经心地看了一眼，随后将其随意扔到一旁，歪着脑袋，目光中透露出贪婪：“好处呢？”
想让它找人轻而易举。
要说现在什么最多，那肯定是老鼠，想要找一个人，除非他在天上，否则难逃鼠眼。
“你说。”杨蜀带着命令过来，是有底线的，但他不会说出来，而是让鼠妖自己提。
鼠妖的眼珠狡猾地转动着，咧嘴笑道：“我要山平县。”
“呵呵！“杨蜀大笑着，实属被逗笑了。
而鼠妖同样嘿嘿笑着，它最喜欢的就是跟人类提要求，有的时候人类为了满足自己的目标，可以付出很多东西，就比如这黄沙镇，就是它跟人类谈判得到的。
当初它在黄沙岭作威作福，人类突然找上门，竟然是希望它能派老鼠去一处地方取件东西。
它当然得提要求。
所以黄沙镇归它了。
“别笑，杨兄，行不行，我可喜欢县城了，我的那些子孙后代，到了城里也能安家，说实话，这黄沙镇太小了，你瞧瞧兄弟吃的这些肉，都是老肉，前段时间黄天教给我送来的那些女傀，味道美极了，就是不耐吃。”鼠妖想到那些美味，粘稠的口水哗啦啦的流淌下来。
“不可能。”杨蜀果断回绝。
鼠妖起身啪的一声，按着桌子，硕大的鼠头贴着杨蜀，“你这不行，那不行，那你找我干什么，你们自己能找，那就自己找去，我在黄沙镇安心的很，不想劳累。”
杨蜀凝视着鼠妖，缓缓道：“二十个女傀。”
听闻此话的鼠妖贼溜溜的转动着眼珠子，伸出尖锐的鼠爪，“不够，不够，我一天得吃两个，一个月就得六十个，你得让我吃满一个月，六十个不讨价，不然没得谈。”
“三十。”
“六十。”
对他们来说女傀就是数字而已，也是监察司与黄天教跟妖勾结的筹码。
就在此时，一只老鼠从门外溜了进来，指着身体啾啾的发出声。
杨蜀看着这头老鼠，听不懂叫唤的什么，反倒是鼠妖听得明白，“有人来咱们黄沙镇了，还有头猫妖，有意思，真有意思。”
……
镇口。
“道长，怎么了？”狐妲己见道长脸色凝重，就知道此地不得了，而她也嗅觉到这镇里的妖气好重。
林凡凝视着眼前的镇，在功德之眼的情况下，所有的虚假都将消散，显现出来的便是真实一幕。
“区区一个镇，竟然有着如此浑厚的妖气，而妖气中更是包含着无穷的怨气。”
林凡深吸口气，看向破烂不堪的镇。
就这样的镇哪能算是镇。
简直跟狗窝没什么区别。
林凡带着两女走进镇里，一些百姓们迷茫的看着他们，不明白他们为何会敢来这里，想他们逃跑的心思都想破了，可是谁能逃得掉。
曾经有人想逃，可是没逃多远，好多老鼠冲出，就将那人淹没，片刻后，就剩下一具骨头。
此时的猫妙妙有些炸毛。
因为这里给她的感觉非常的不好，有种想要爆发天性的感觉，喉咙里发出如同蛇类的嘶嘶声，有种紧张跟不安的感觉。
“妙妙，忍住你的天性，你虽是妖，但想要修成正果，就必须摆脱掉妖的本性，记住曾经有百姓可是叫过你为妖仙的。”林凡说道。
猫妙妙听到道长的话，强忍着，那种嘶嘶声消散。
“是，道长，我能做到的。”猫妙妙憋得好难受，但她很听道长的话，此时的她便是天性与意志的碰撞。
随着走到深处，到处可见老鼠活动的迹象，有在房屋上跑动的，也有从垃圾堆里跑出来的。
同时有悲伤的哭泣声传来。
林凡他们顺着声音走去，来到那位妇女的身边，眼前的一幕吓得两女紧闭眼睛，浑身微颤，虽说她们见过很多惨烈的一幕，但是婴儿这般模样，还是头一回。
林凡蹲下来，施展讨亡托生术，为其超度，使其怨气消散。
“施主，人死不能复生，贫道已经为你孩子超度，无需受世间种种痛苦。”
他轻声说着。
他知道自己的三言两语并不能让妇女从悲伤里走出，随后看向猫妙妙，“妙妙，贫道答应你，让你斩妖除魔，但此时此刻，贫道变了想法，那妖还是交给贫道来除吧。”
“是，道长。”猫妙妙应道。
忽然！
一道戏谑的声音传来。
“哪来的臭道士，竟然在爷爷地盘给人超度，你可有拜过黄鼠爷爷我？”
在那前方，出现两道身影，其中身穿宽松灰袍的鼠妖大摇大摆的走来，粗长的尾巴在地面拖行着，留下道道痕迹。
身旁的杨蜀看到林凡时，脸色微变，一眼就认出对方就是他们要找的道士玄颠。
还未等杨蜀开口。
只听一道如雷鸣炸裂的怒喝声响彻。
“孽畜，贫道收了你。
就见林凡一步踏出，浑厚的浩然正气从体内爆发而出，拔出斧头，隔空朝着鼠妖投掷而去，鼠妖一惊，急忙侧身躲避，泛着光辉的斧头贴面而过。
When the rat demon was about to turn over and prepare to roar, two bloody red lights shot towards it, preventing the rat demon from avoiding them. It was horrified and its pupils suddenly shrank. With a puff, half of the rat demon's body was blown to pieces.
"ah……"
The rat demon screamed, it never imagined this would happen.
Defeated after just one encounter? "Descendants, serve our ancestors." The rat demon roared, and its demonic energy spread.
Chirp, chirp! Dense rat calls were heard, and the guided rats rushed out from all directions, with red light in their eyes, and rushed towards Lin Fan.
"Evil beasts, they are all evil beasts."
Lin Fan pinched his fingers and used the sore-removing technique and poison technique. His magic power fluctuated and spread rapidly.
Under the influence of the rotten sore method, the group of rats screamed and pustules appeared on their bodies, some growing from the abdomen, and some from the eyes and heads.
At the same time, the snakes and insects in the town were controlled by the poison. They all appeared from the dark corners of the walls, rushed towards the screaming rats, and began to bite and devour them.
The townspeople watched the scene in amazement.
They have seen monsters and ghosts, but they have never seen a fight between magicians.
Lin Fan walked up to the rat demon, which only had half of its body left, and looked down at it from above. "Evil beast, you are full of resentment and have committed many evil deeds. I don't know how many innocent people you have harmed. I will extract your three souls to see how cruel you are."
"Soul-stealing."
His eyes widened.
The rat demon screamed continuously, and felt that its soul was flying out of its body uncontrollably. Even though it used its demonic power to suppress it, it was still unable to stop it. The three souls flew out and landed in the palm of its hand, which it swallowed in one gulp. In an instant, all kinds of shocking and cruel scenes appeared in Lin Fan's mind.
He wanted to know how serious the sins committed by the rat demon were, and also wanted to use this to sharpen his spiritual heart.
But... the scene that appeared shocked Lin Fan's mind, and he actually took a half step back. A dark and righteous aura rose into the sky, and a faint light appeared in his eyes. Suddenly, one bloody red light burst out after another.
It bombarded the rat demon like a violent storm.
Blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and there was not even a complete body left.
[Merit +2.5]
Yang Shu, who was standing aside, stood there in a daze, his hand on the hilt of the knife trembling. He felt as if he had seen a devil from the world. The aura that was emitted from it made him tremble with fear, and he even wanted to vomit out of terror.
At this moment, Lin Fan's eyes were filled with black mist and boiling.
He turned and looked at Yang Shu.
"You are a human, why would you collude with demons? You even cooperated with demons just to find me. If you really want to find me, just tell me. How could I avoid you?"
"ah?"
Lin Fan scolded.
Yang Shu never thought of himself as a coward, but now, for some reason, facing the Taoist priest emitting thick black mist, his strong heart was completely shattered.
Plop! "Master Xuandian, I'm just following orders." Yang Shu said fearfully.
Lin Fan took a deep breath and took off his Taoist robe. "I am following orders. I don't blame you, but... I will kick you to death."
Wearing his Taoist robe inside out, Lin Fan kicked him to the ground, picked up the axe with big strides, turned around and walked towards Yang Shu with murderous eyes.
Yang Shu, who was kicked to the ground, looked pale. He explained tremblingly: "Master, I am really just following orders. I..."
"Shut up, old man."
Snap!
Lin Fan grabbed his hair and roughly dragged him to the baby, pressing his head in front of the baby. "Open your eyes wide and look carefully, you bastard. This is the result of your collusion with the demons."
"Master, I..."
"Watch with wide eyes."
Lin Fan threw the axe to the ground, straddled the other person's back, and used both hands to pry open Yang Shu's eyes, staring at him intently.
"Master, I am following orders. I am insignificant and have no right to make decisions. I..."
"Shut up. I'm asking you, do you know Master Guiwu?"
"Yes, I know." Yang Shu answered tremblingly.
"You bastard, it's fine if you don't know me, but you know the existence of Master Guiwu, why don't you go find Master Guiwu and come to Huangsha Town to slay the demons and monsters."
"I...I can't find it."
"Bullshit, it's not that you can't find it, it's that you didn't find it, fuck..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan pressed Yang Shu's head to the ground. His palm suddenly burst out with strength, and a creaking sound of bones breaking was heard. Yang Shu screamed, his eyeballs bulged, and blood gradually overflowed from his eye sockets.
"Ah..." Yang Shu opened his mouth and screamed. With a bang, his eyeballs exploded and his head was crushed.
Lin Fan stood up, shook the blood off his palm, and looked at Yang Shu's body with cold eyes.
Close your eyes slightly.
But when I opened my eyes.
The black mist in his eyes dissipated.
Instead, there is clarity.
