The government officials used an ox cart to pull the body into the city gate, the wooden wheels creaking and leaving long snow tracks behind.

The crowd was crowded, vying to watch and whispering:

"Come on, come on!"

"Look at that skin, it's actually red!"

"Why is your head gone?"

"I heard it was Master Wang's shot..."

People's hearts are like this. If one's own life is endangered, the rumors will become more and more terrifying. But if there is no threat, beheadings, dead bodies, goblins...the more scary they are, the more they want to see them.

The picture is a stimulus.

Magistrate Li was notoriously cunning and well versed in people's hearts, so he deliberately asked the government officials to enter through the front gate in a arrogant way, so the bad effects were eliminated before they even happened.

Of course, Wang Xuan's name was inevitably mentioned again.

Prestige is like this. Although it has many wonderful advantages, it is like a castle in the air. If you can protect it, you will have both inner and outer face, but if you cannot protect it, you will lose more than just face.

After seeing the rare thing, the crowd dispersed.

For the people of Yong'an, the attacked caravan and the terrifying stone corpse spirit were just a topic of conversation after dinner. The Chenghuang Temple Fair three days later was their only source of daily necessities.

Of course, Yong'an County Government has a different atmosphere.

…

"Tang Zixiong, please show me carefully!"

In the back hall of the county government office, the county magistrate Li Siyuan stood with his hands behind his hands, his face looking rather ugly.

He once had lofty ambitions and wanted to stir up troubles in the court, but years of unsuccessful career had long since dampened his ambition, and he just wanted to retire in peace in this remote county.

Unexpectedly, Shiwa Village was massacred first, and then there were corpse spirits causing trouble, and evil cultivators were also involved. A series of events gave him a headache.

Wang Xuan was also watching from the sidelines. He had already gained fame and these things were not among his responsibilities, but he felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart.

On the wooden board under the hall, the disemboweled corpse had been completely frozen and stiff.

After carefully identifying him, Tang Zixiong said with a gloomy face and cupped his hands: "Reporting to you two adults, this person is Wu Laosan, the 'squad leader' of Shanyin County. He is vicious and vicious, and has close contacts with many underworld evil cultivators. I don't know yet."

Where did I get the inheritance to be able to seal evil spirits and ghosts on my skin with tattoos?"

"Ghost tattoo?"

Wang Xuan became interested and asked people to take off the corpse's coat. He immediately saw the black tattoos all over his back, and he looked like a monster.

During this time, he often asked Old Man Bai about the affairs of the world, and he also heard that the secret technique of ghost tattoos was passed down in many low-level trades.

However, soon, he frowned: "There is no evil spirit, could it be that someone broke the spell and backfired?"

Tang Zixiong on the side quickly shook his head: "Sir, I have also heard of this secret technique. Those who are attacked usually have skin ulcers and commit suicide madly. It should be someone else."

"That must be a vendetta!"

The county magistrate Li Siyuan looked angry and said in a deep voice to the chief clerk next to him: "I will send an official document to inform Shanyin County about this case, saying that Wu Laosan colluded with the evil cultivators to cause trouble in Yong'an. If we don't give an explanation, this county will

It is necessary to submit a letter to inform the governor!"

"Yes, County Lord." The chief clerk left in a hurry.

Wang Xuan next to him was a little speechless. Good guy, this slick guy is trying to pass the blame again.

This is a common tactic used by officials. After all, Shanyin County is a central county and has many minerals under its control. It is far richer than Yongan and has more manpower to send out for investigation.

It involves evil cultivators, and no one in the Yong'an County government wants to mess with it.

However, Wang Xuan always had a feeling that things would not stop there...

………

At night, the wind and snow became more intense.

Although what happened during the day, the training of the soldiers did not end, and they even began to gradually increase the intensity and carry out rigorous training with heavy loads.

This is the blood evil body-building technique. It relies on exercising the physical body to hone the mental will to the limit, thereby stimulating the fierce blood evil energy. The worse the environment, the better the effect.

Now, the soldiers have long fallen asleep, and the military government office is quiet.

In the backyard wing, candlelight dimmed in the wind and snow.

The "Demon Transformation Sutra" in Wang Xuan's hand has been read several times.

I don’t know how many years this ancient book has been passed down. The pages are rotten and the handwriting is mottled. Only the middle chapters can be roughly read, which are about the art of preparing demon pills.

The trend of cultivation is prevalent in this world, and various inheritances are complicated. For example, the art of external elixirs has also evolved into grass elixirs, human elixirs, demon elixirs, ghost elixirs and other techniques.

Grass elixir is the most common herbal elixir. It collects the essence of heaven and earth and blends it into one furnace. It is then mixed with monarchs, ministers and envoys, and refined with fire and water to make elixirs. Each family has its own secret recipe.

Human elixir is a completely evil magic. It is inspired by evil spirits, or collects river carts, or steals babies, or collects flesh and blood souls to refine elixirs. It advances rapidly. After all, elixirs of heaven and earth are not available everywhere.

Those who practice this technique are called evil cultivators. They are the key targets of the court and various sects. The blood-clothed thieves and those who dissected the corpse and removed the internal organs today are all evil cultivators.

Ghost elixir is relatively mysterious and not known to outsiders.

This demon pill is used to feed the spirit beast, so that it can absorb and absorb spiritual energy and continue to grow, so that it can be used by its master without having to transform into a demon.

"The Four Yun Pills are made from the evil spirit of the four attributes of earth, water, fire and wind, and are planted in the bodies of rats and frogs. They are placed in an urn and buried deep in the earth's energy orifices to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. After seven or seventy-nine days, they are dried in the shade and ground into powder..."

"It's quite troublesome."

Wang Xuan looked a little speechless. It took a long time to cultivate spiritual beasts. No wonder the Hou family was gradually declining. It seems that from now on, he will have to find someone to do this...

At the foot, a four-eared black dog curled up and lay down, opening its bright eyes from time to time and looking up.

This little guy is very shrewd. He already knew who the boss was within half a day after arriving at the military mansion. He followed Wang Xuan every step of the way, showing his true nature as a licking dog.

After watching for another half an hour, Wang Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

In the list at the bottom of the Tiandao deduction board, the "Demon Transformation Sutra" (remnant) suddenly appeared, and at the same time a lot of information flooded into my mind. Not only did it include the method of configuring demon pills, but there was also an additional general outline:

Demons, the way birds and beasts transform, sense the essence of heaven, absorb the essence of earth, just like sailing against the current, life and death depend on one mind...

Wang Xuan looked through it carefully, his eyes thoughtful.

No wonder this inheritance is called "Monster Transformation Sutra". It is a method of artificially cultivating monsters, but it also uses the bloodline secret method to change the process. It is somewhat similar to weapon refining, but it is a spiritual beast.

The most precious thing about this method is that it can directly tame ordinary beasts through blood contracts, and use various means to make them become monsters without demonic nature, and evolve into beings that are no less than natural spiritual beasts.

Moreover, military strategists can also practice martial arts.

Ordinary beasts…

Wang Xuan lowered his head and looked at the two-eared black dog at his feet.

"Afu, come here."

"Woof woof!"

………………

At the beginning of winter, all things are collected and the people recuperate.

The annual City God Temple Fair was held as scheduled. All the businesses along the street were decorated with lights and colorful decorations. A group of naughty children were behind the vendors walking down the street. They set up stages to sing in the streets of South City and North City. Hundreds of men selected from the city carried the shrine in procession...

On New Year's Eve, people stay at home and watch the New Year's Eve. Beginning of Winter is considered the most grand festival at the end of the Yan Dynasty. After the excitement, the streets will gradually become deserted until the beginning of next spring.

The Evil Army Mansion in Yong'an Town was also much more lively than in previous years. Wang Xuan was granted a day off and sent Liu Shun to buy a few fat sheep and some melons and fruits to reward the soldiers.

"Get out of the way, this mutton soup needs to be boiled with cold water to remove the smell..."

Several large pots were steaming in the courtyard, and Zhang Heng's rough voice was the loudest.

Today, most of the soldiers in the government army are refugees from Shiwa Village. With Zhang Heng as a rough guy to make jokes, the pain of missing your loved ones is lessened.

Wang Xuan carried the little black dog and headed towards Nancheng.

The Chenghuang Temple congratulated Li Shouxin on his return from the wild before the temple fair. After hearing about the corpse spirit's troubles, he sent a Taoist boy to invite him to his door.
