After the body was properly placed, he sent people to order funeral supplies such as coffins. Some people went home and took pickaxes to dig the soil and dig the grave.

The deceased was the most important person, so he had to rely on him for everything else. Only when everything was arranged properly did he notice Quan Fu, Li Qiufan and others.

"Quanfu is back... who are these?"

The fat man said: "We are from the Qiuzhe Supernatural Agency, and we just called you."

The village chief was stunned on the spot. These people were too young, but he still asked cautiously.

"Are you really...mages?"

Before Li Qiufan could speak, Quanfu stepped forward and said, "Second uncle, don't worry, they are mages. If it weren't for these young people, Quancai and the others wouldn't be able to come back!" Li Quanfu told what he saw in the car.

To put it simply, the village chief was helpless by the monsters in the mountains, and now he can only treat a dead horse as a living horse.

After inviting everyone home, the pot was steaming and the aroma made people's stomachs growl. From yesterday afternoon to today's noon, no one had eaten and they were already hungry.

The village chief sat down with a few people, and his son and daughter-in-law served rice. Each of them had a large bowl of braised noodles. The side dishes were rich and full of color, flavor, and taste.

The village chief held up his cigarette bag and said awkwardly: "These are just mediocre meals. We rural people don't have much to entertain you..."

"It would be nice to eat some. We are not picky eaters."

A few people finished the meal in a few sips, not even the noodle soup was left. Li Qiufan burped and said, "It's been a long time since I've had such a delicious meal. It tastes very similar to what my mother makes."

The village chief's daughter-in-law smiled shyly. She cooked the rice and was praised by the Master. She was also very happy.

After eating and drinking, the village chief hesitated and said: "Master, when will we open the altar to practice?"

"There's no rush." ​​Li Qiufan waved his hand and said, "Let's let the deceased people rest in peace first." As a heavenly master, Li Qiufan was familiar with funeral rituals like this, but he hadn't done it for a long time.

"Thank you, thank you..." Upon hearing this, the village chief felt extremely grateful and thanked him repeatedly.

"It stands to reason that such young people who died in vain need to rest for three days, but they have been dead for several days, and their souls have also been sent to the underworld by me. This procedure is omitted. At three o'clock in the afternoon, they will be directly buried in the coffin. You first

Let’s see how the necessary things are prepared. Brother Qi will accompany us to the so-called ‘Mountain God’ Temple.”

"Go now? How about I call everyone to go together when we are done! What if you run into the 'Mountain God'..." The village chief was a little worried, after all, the monster had caused too much fear to them.

.

Li Qiufan smiled confidently and said: "It would be great if it dares to show up. It will save us the trouble of looking for it again. You can go about your business and don't worry about us."

After saying that, he wiped his mouth, called Quan Fu, and set off. The village chief was worried, so he called a few young men, picked up hoes and shovels, and followed him.

Walking on the narrow path, there was an eerie silence in the surrounding dense forest. Several young people were very nervous and screamed like frightened birds at the slightest noise.

Li Qiufan was helpless. These people were too timid. What on earth were they here to do?

After walking for about half an hour, we finally arrived in front of a small temple with green bricks and black tiles. The young people accompanying him were frightened, their faces were pale, they were sweating profusely, and they did not dare to take another step forward. Li Qiufan opened his eyes to see

Looking around, I saw a layer of faint red mist shrouding the outside of the temple.

"As expected, it's evil spirit!"

"It's similar to your guess. Can you tell what kind of monster it is?" Jingzhe asked.

"I have some clues, but it's hard to tell right now. I can't be sure until I see it. I'll go in and have a look. It's a temple. There must be statues of gods or something like that enshrined in it."

Li Qiufan asked Twelve to stay to prevent the demon from suddenly appearing and harming the villagers, and he, Jingzhe and Fatty walked into the temple.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw corpses of beasts everywhere. They had been dead for a long time and started to rot. The pungent stench made people almost suffocate. In the center of the temple was a stone statue of a god with an animal body and a human head. But for some reason, the face of the stone statue was

The damage was so severe that the facial features could no longer be seen clearly, and the traces looked like they had been grabbed by some kind of wild beast.

After walking around the small temple again, they found nothing but animal carcasses everywhere, so the three of them retreated.

The fat man breathed in the fresh air, almost being suffocated to death inside, and cursed: "What kind of bullshit monster is this? You are so unhygienic, how can you live in such a stinky place?"

Li Qiufan laughed and scolded: "It's not a human being. On the contrary, monsters that drink flesh and blood to practice prefer this kind of environment. It can speed up their practice. Let's go back first. It's bad luck. This guy isn't here. We'll talk about it later in the evening."

"What if it doesn't come back at night?"

"Damn it, doesn't it have to eat the blood donated by the villagers? It will definitely come out. Then we will give it a hard beating..."

Li Qiufan smiled sinisterly, and Fatty knew from this smile that the poor monster must be in trouble tonight.

After coming down the mountain, the coffin had been brought back and the grave had been dug. Li Qiufan looked at the time and saw that it was almost time, so he started preparing for the funeral.

Because funeral customs vary from place to place, Li Qiufan asked the village chief in advance and followed their customs here.

Relatives and friends paid tribute and mourned throughout the village. Once the paper carriages and horses were burned, the innocent souls could ride on them.

Under the auspices of Li Qiufan, everything went on in an orderly manner. With one nail in the seven-inch coffin, the living no longer saw the face of the dead.

The desolate sound of the suona is heard, as if it is trying to retain the soul of the deceased.

Paper money was flying, soul-calling flags were fluttering in the wind, Li Qiufan was walking at the front reciting funeral incantations, followed by a row of coffins and mourning processions, with white mourning clothes stretching for tens of meters...

Lower the coffin, enter the tomb, fill the soil...

From this moment on, there is no difference between life and death.

This ritual was kept simple. After the ceremony, the family members of the deceased came over to bring money, but Li Qiufan did not accept it because he really didn't know how to reach out to receive the crumpled money of an elderly man who was over seventy years old.

The sun was setting in the west, and it was evening in a flash. After the banquet, Li Qiufan returned to the village chief's house and started preparing various magical tools for exorcizing demons.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the village chief came in and said that the blood had been prepared. Li Qiufan opened the lid of the bucket and smelled it: "Okay, it has solidified. Add a layer of cattle and sheep's blood to the blood, and then move it to the place where it is worshiped on weekdays."

place."

The village chief nodded and asked a few young people to carry the blood to the entrance of the village. They stood there with an uneasy expression. He was completely desperate this time. If Li Qiufan couldn't hold the monster, I'm afraid the whole village would be killed by the monster!

The fat man saw the village chief's embarrassment and comforted him: "Don't worry, old village chief, as long as my brother Fan is here, I will catch the Laoshizi monster and make it into soup tonight!"

When the village chief heard this, he shook his head repeatedly and said tremblingly: "Don't drink, don't drink, as long as you can drive it away and don't come back again..."

"Don't scare him!" Li Qiufan glared at the fat man, picked up his bag, and gave each person a Qi Hidden Talisman. Then he arrived at the entrance of the village and hid in the grass. There was a stone mill five meters away. At this time, only the millstone was left.

Four large barrels were placed on top, which exuded a strong smell of blood. They were the two hundred kilograms of blood prepared by the villagers.

If you observe carefully, you can also find that there is a thicker layer of wheat straw around the millstone than usual. There are many bamboo poles stuck in the straw, and only a little bit is exposed. You can't find it if you don't pay attention.

Of course, these are all traps set by Li Qiufan in advance. Each bamboo pole is tied with a cinnabar thread and has a 'demon trap' attached to it. As long as you grab both ends of the cinnabar thread and pull hard, the bamboo pole will be gathered up, trapping the blood.

The eating monster.

The villagers are also holding weapons and hiding in the distance. Now they have everything, just waiting for the monster to take the bait.

Time passed by, and it was already ten o'clock, but there was still no movement. According to the village chief, it should come to eat blood soon.

"Is it possible that our plan has been discovered?" the fat man asked quietly.

Li Qiufan put his index finger on his lips, signaling him to stop talking and wait quietly.

At this moment, there was a noise in the woods, like some kind of wild beast jumping. The breeze blew, and the evil spirit filled the air.

"Here we come!" Li Qiufan made a gesture, Jingzhe nodded to Twelve, and held the cinnabar thread tightly.

Under the cold moonlight, a tall monster jumped out of the woods. It smelled fishy and splashed mud when it landed.

The monster sniffed and smelled the fresh smell of blood. He licked his mouth with a blood-red tongue more than twenty centimeters long, drool dripping down. Then he jumped up and jumped onto the millstone.

Through the moonlight, Li Qiufan could clearly see what this guy looked like. It turned out to be a huge mountain monkey, but it was different from ordinary monkeys. The brown hair stood on end, like steel needles, and its mouth was full of fangs, with a vicious look.

Monkey Monster... Li Qiufan looked weird, subconsciously thinking of Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, but he was a stone monkey and later became a Buddha, so he couldn't compare.

The monkey demon opened the lid of the bucket and took a strong sniff of the smell of blood. With greed in his eyes, he actually picked up the bucket and poured all the blood in it into his mouth. It took four buckets of blood and he didn't drink any of it in three minutes.

Go down.

After eating the blood food, the monkey demon burped with satisfaction, and then a red mist emerged from the outside of its body like steam. This was because it was refining the energy in its blood for its own cultivation.

I have to say that this monkey demon is so bold that he started practicing on the spot openly. He is really confident!

Li Qiufan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Practice hard, Erluzi, this is specially prepared for you."

"Well..." Just after taking a breath of refining, the monkey demon suddenly realized something was wrong, and his body was as hot as drinking red-hot molten iron.

"Ah!!!" roared in pain, the monkey demon tore its hair desperately, then grabbed the bucket and sniffed it vigorously, then twisted its face, became furious, tore the iron bucket into pieces, beat its chest and stamped its feet, and roared.

"You dare to drink chicken blood for me! I will kill you!"

As the saying goes, "Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys." This is not to scare the monkeys, but the blood of the chicken contains the most yang and strong spiritual energy. Monkeys are the least likely to see this kind of thing, especially the monkeys who have become spirits, and they are even more secretive and very afraid.

"Now!" Li Qiufan shouted in vain. Twelve received the instruction and the two of them pulled up the cinnabar thread at the same time. The wheat stalks flew away, and the bamboo poles tightened like a cage, tightly surrounding the monkey demon who was unable to react.

"You are seeking death!" The monkey demon became even more angry, its aura boiling, and it struggled. In its opinion, such a broken bamboo pole couldn't even tie a dog, let alone it!

However, the result surprised him. The fragile bamboo pole seemed to have a strange strength, and it could keep breaking no matter what!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, my ability is not great, but my tone is not small! I am standing here, if you dare, break away and take a look!" Li Qiufan chanted the spell, and the talisman on the bamboo pole burst out with red light, forming a circle of golden hoops,

The monkey demon's skin was torn and his flesh was torn apart, and he screamed in agony.

"Master! Dear Xiangshan Village, when this mountain god comes out, I will slaughter you to death without leaving any trace!"

The trapped monkey demon was still talking nonsense, and Li Qiufan's eyes flashed coldly. He recited the spell even faster, and the golden hoop tightened, and he could even hear the monkey demon's bones cracking.

"You are so brazen that a monkey demon who has only survived two thunder tribulations dares to call himself a god! Do you want to leave no one behind, right? This Heavenly Master will kill you right now!"

"Heaven... Master!" The monkey demon was dumbfounded. How could he dare to speak harshly again? He ignored the pain and knelt down with a plop, kowtowing in embarrassment.

"Master Tianshi, please forgive me, please forgive me, little demon... The little demon is just confused for a moment, but he has never hurt anyone's life. Please consider this and spare my life! Little demon's cultivation is not easy, please!"
