The villagers and girls raised their arms excitedly and shouted in unison:

"Sacrifice to the moon to welcome the cold, and build an altar at night. After the rituals are completed, the offerings are presented, and my lord enjoys them!"

The giant centipede had already crawled half of its body out of the deep hole, but it did not continue. Instead, it stopped and stared at Zhang Yuqing coldly.

One person and one centipede just looked at each other.

Doubts began to appear on the faces of the villagers and the girl, wondering why the master did not enjoy the offerings.

Zhang Yuqing released his spiritual thoughts, sensed the rich demonic energy in the centipede, and stretched out his hand to grab the big centipede.

The giant centipede man let out a sharp, demonstrative scream from his face, and his two tentacles suddenly stood up.

Zhang Yuqing did not stop, and his hand was almost catching the big centipede.

At this time, the giant centipede made an unexpected move.

It exposed half of its body from the hole, entered and quickly shrank towards the hole, actually trying to escape.

"This" the villagers and the girl were stunned.

The giant centipede has always been synonymous with cruelty, terror and evil in their hearts. While they are afraid of the giant centipede, they also worship the giant centipede.

However, at this time, the giant centipede actually escaped? This was the first time they had seen it.

Seeing the giant centipede retracting into the hole, it was about to escape underground.

Zhang Yuqing jumped up suddenly and quickly thrust his arm into the hole:

"Don't even think about running away!"

Zhang Yuqing's arms stirred wildly in the deep cave, causing the soil around the deep cave to bulge and break.

When he retracted his arm from the hole, the big centipede was already wrapped around it.

Zhang Yuqing pinched the big centipede's neck tightly and carefully looked at the miniature human face on its head.

Suddenly, a stream of poisonous gas sprayed out from the mouth of the man's face, and it instantly sprayed on Zhang Yuqing's face.

I saw that the skin on Zhang Yuqing's face rotted away quickly, but new skin grew back and returned to its original state.

"What are you?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

The human face on the head of the big centipede made a fierce voice: "Let me go! Otherwise, someone will definitely come to take revenge on you!"

Its voice is neither male nor female, and is extremely charming.

Zhang Yuqing said in surprise: "There's more? Call them over quickly, okay?"

The giant centipede fell silent for a moment and stopped speaking.

Zhang Yuqing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw that the big centipede was unwilling to speak. He easily crushed the big centipede to see if it would continue to speak.

The giant centipede screamed and twisted in pain, but it just stared at Zhang Yuqing's face in a twisted manner, as if it wanted to remember him, and said nothing from the beginning to the end.

The terrifying faces of the girl and the villagers were now full of fear, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

The adoring master was killed by this man like a chicken and a dog, and they felt that the sky was about to fall.

These remaining people could no longer be called human beings, but were evil vassals, so they were easily eliminated by Zhang Yuqing.

Finally, Zhang Yuqing woke up the middle-aged man who had fainted with fright:

"Hey! It's time to go!"

After the middle-aged man woke up, he was so scared that he kept away from Zhang Yuqing: "You! What kind of monster are you?!"

"I am the head catcher in Lucheng, come with me!"

Zhang Yuqing picked up the middle-aged man and headed back the way he came.

The sky in the east has turned white, and the faint light has made the surrounding area brighter.

Zhang Yuqing returned to the bushes, and the ugly woman was still standing there holding the pipa.

Zhang Yuqing glanced at her twice, and then continued to lead the middle-aged man forward.

Apart from Sun Xiaohe, this woman was the second one he had seen who was possessed by evil spirits and could not help himself.

There are exceptions to everything, and among evil spirits, they are also rare exceptions.

Zhang Yuqing had harvested enough demonic energy tonight, and there was no shortage of this ray, so Zhang Yuqing ignored her.

As he gradually moved away from the woman, the middle-aged man who calmed down couldn't help but ask:

"Who is she?"

Zhang Yuqing answered: "She is the benefactor who saved your son..."

Finally, the middle-aged man couldn't help but turn around and look at the woman.

The woman was still standing silently, as if waiting calmly.

The morning sun peeked out from the top of the mountain, its golden rays piercing the morning fog and spreading over the overgrown wilderness.

The woman raised her head and looked at the rising sun.

The warm sunshine spread all over her body, and wisps of green smoke rose from her body.

Under the horrified gaze of the middle-aged man, the woman was fragmented bit by bit and disappeared.

In the early morning, the wilderness is full of vitality, and the thick weeds are woven like a green carpet. Who would have thought that after nightfall, this place would be a terrifying and dangerous place.

The two of them walked through the wilderness and continued towards the manor.

The sun rises higher and higher, and the gentle wind dispels the cold and makes people feel warm all over.

On the way, the middle-aged man kept asking about his wife and children.

The morning breeze brought the fragrance of tea trees, a gentle slope appeared in their sight, and further away, there were green tea mountains.

The manor is not far away, just behind the gentle slope.

When the two of them walked up the gentle slope, they saw the manor down the slope and the people who had been waiting outside the manor.

The breeze blows slowly, and the flowers and plants on the slope as well as the middle-aged man's hair and beard are swaying.

A group of young men working in the tea house suddenly burst into cheers.

When Boss Cai saw this scene, he couldn't help but said with joy and annoyance: "These idiots really succeeded! They dared to coerce me last night, I will definitely deduct their wages! But as long as everything is fine, it's fine. Just fine."

The middle-aged man looked at his wife and daughter walking out of the crowd, covering his face and sobbing. His slightly stooped body felt like he could take on any responsibility.

Zhang Yuqing and the middle-aged man walked down the gentle slope.

The woman rushed forward with the little boy in her arms, and the middle-aged man held them quietly in his arms.

The couple blamed each other and shared their worries with each other.

Although the boy who was held by the couple didn't understand much about this, he saw his parents crying and cried with them.

The elegant and handsome Lu Junsheng walked up to Zhang Yuqing: "When the bloody fingerprints on Xiaolong's body disappear, I know that Brother Zhang has succeeded!"

Lucheng, patrolling the government office at night.

After a busy night, Xia Mingxuan finally walked out of the study.

The bright sunshine shone on his body, and fatigue began to flood his body.

A night guard standing guard outside the study came forward and bowed and said:

"Master Xiaowei, Master Zhou asked to see you last night and has been waiting in the side room for a long time."

When Xia Mingxuan heard this, his face was full of doubts: "Zhou Cunjian? Why did he come to me? Why didn't you inform me immediately when the county captain asked for a meeting?"

The night patrol hurriedly replied: "Master Zhou said there is no need to report in a hurry. You can wait until you are done with your work before going to see him."

Xia Mingxuan waved his hand: "I know, I'll go see him right away."

The side room was not far from the study, and Xia Mingxuan arrived outside the room quickly.

It's just that the door is closed, leaving only a gap.

Xia Mingxuan opened the door and saw that all the windows in the house were closed tightly, blocking out the sunlight and making the house dark and deep.

"Master Zhou?"

Xia Mingxuan walked into the room and shouted.

After waiting for a long time, no one answered.

Xia Mingxuan shook his head. Could it be that Zhou Cunjian has left?

Just when he was about to leave, a faint voice suddenly sounded from behind the screen: "Master Xia"

Xia Mingxuan asked doubtfully: "Master Zhou, don't you want to see me for something? What are you doing behind the screen?"

Zhou Cunjian's voice continued to come from behind the screen: "Master Xia, close the door quickly. I have something confidential to tell you."

Xia Mingxuan frowned, but closed the door and bolted it.

As the door closed, the room became darker and darker, giving people a cold feeling even in the daytime.
