Encounter...The Rainy Night Butcher?

Ling Xiao's pupils shrank, and he was shocked.

The cruelty and horror of the Rainy Night Butcher has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Ma Ying was able to save her life after encountering this monster. I don't know if she is unlucky or lucky!

While he was sighing, a hearty voice came to his ears.

"Brother Ling, you are here too!"

Ling Xiao looked back and saw that it was Mr. Hong. He was slightly startled and then suddenly realized, "Hong is looking for Brother Ma?"

In recent years, Zifengtai and the government have invested countless manpower just to catch the Yuye Butcher.

However, things went against expectations. Not only did Rainy Night Butcher fail to subjugate the demon, he didn't even know what the demon looked like, whether it was male or female, and what his level of cultivation was.

"yes!"

Hong Shaotou sighed, "It's a pity that the trip was in vain, and Taoist Master Ma Ying never saw the appearance of this beast clearly."

Ling Xiao couldn't help but ask: "This demon is so cunning, why don't you apply for more foundation-building monks to take action?"

So far, the number of innocent people who have died tragically at the hands of the Rainy Night Butcher ranges from one hundred to eighty. There are increasingly signs of a repeat of the serial tragedies thirty years ago. Logically speaking, the foundation-building monks should have been alerted long ago.

Capt. Hong smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know. Maybe the foundation-building monks have already taken action, or maybe they haven't yet. The news about those seniors is not something that a little captivity like me can get involved in. Moreover, I'm afraid things are about to go wrong.

The worst-case scenario has developed..."

"What do you mean?" Ling Xiao asked.

"The soul-destroying sword is a murderous weapon. It will subtly affect the mind of the person who controls it, causing him to fall into the abyss and find it difficult to suppress the urge to kill. But this generation of rainy night butchers are more cunning and tolerant than the one thirty years ago, and commit crimes more frequently.

It’s not high! I’m worried that if this demon knows how to control the magic weapon, it will break!”

The expression on Mr. Hong's head was unprecedentedly serious and worried.

Generally, demon cultivators are unable to restrain their murderous impulses in the end, and will take desperate risks, leaving clues that can be traced.

But this characteristic is not reflected in Yuye Butcher.

This person's killings follow no rules, and every time, he leaves no trace!

Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel worried.

There is no monitoring to check, and it is difficult for the public to report. Trying to catch a demon cultivator that is not visible on the surface is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

No wonder so many manpower has been invested in it, and so far it can’t even catch the butcher’s clothes on a rainy night!

Hong Baotou sighed for a while, then said goodbye and left. Ling Xiao had no choice but to pack up his mood and step into the Taoist temple.

It was extremely quiet inside the temple. Almost all the Taoist priests were doing their morning classes and no one was walking around.

Arrive at Zhifu Small Courtyard via a familiar road.

【Huh? A rare visitor is here!】

The old locust tree said jokingly.

Feeling the long-lost shade of the trees, Ling Xiao felt relieved for a while, holding the second-level spiritual stone in his hand and using his magic power.

After so many days of no practice, Ling Xiao's understanding of the Fire Snake Technique has not deteriorated. With only two casts, he successfully condensed the Fire Snake, which snaked around in the air with extraordinary agility.

puff!

Ling Xiao cut off his magic power, and the fire snake immediately turned into sparks and dissipated in the air.

He cast the spell again, executing every step meticulously.

[Hey, by the way, when the magic power is in the body, you have to simulate the movement of the fire snake. 】

[You don’t have to worry about the overflow of mana. If you can condense the fire snake at this stage, it is a success! 】

[Where is your spiritual consciousness? Your spiritual consciousness should be like a tail, always attached to the back of mana. What do you do when you let go of your spiritual consciousness?]

Laohuaishu spoke earnestly and pointed out every problem of Ling Xiao in detail.

Perhaps because of the long absence, the advice given by the old locust tree was more detailed than ever before, from simple to profound, and every word made Ling Xiao feel enlightened.

He followed suit, and his familiarity with the Fire Snake Technique continued to soar!

An hour later.

Ling Xiao's magic power was exhausted.

The Fire Snake Technique consumes more mana than the intermediate spell. Even if Ling Xiao holds the second-level spirit stone and continues to recover, he can only last for an hour.

He was about to restore his magic power when he saw Xuan Jizi stepping in.

"Donor Ling is here."

"Taoist Priest!"

Ling Xiao stood up and saluted.

"Have you brought any fish?"

Xuanjizi's first question was actually this. Ling Xiao couldn't help but smile, took out the molten crucian carp and handed it to the other party, saying: "Of course!"

Xuanjizi's eyes lit up and he accepted it.

For some reason, the molten crucian carp sent by Ling Xiao is sweeter and more delicious than the ones on the market. The taste is unforgettable.

Of course, Xuanjizi couldn't always catch the fish in vain, so he muttered: "The donor wants to restore the mana? In that case, just restore it and sweep the mountain at the same time!"

"ah?"

Ling Xiao was stunned.

What does this old man mean?

Unexpectedly, the old locust tree smiled and said: [Haha... you are quite lucky! After sweeping the mountain, your ability to understand magic will be improved to a higher level! ]

When Ling Xiao heard this, he was secretly shocked.

It seems that there is another mystery behind this so-called mountain sweeping.

No wonder, all the people in Qingfengguan have to take turns sweeping the mountain.

Xuanjizi took a broom from the corner of the yard, handed it to Ling Xiao, and said with a smile: "Go, Donor Ling. When you see my scoundrel, you say you will sweep it for him and let him come back to recover quickly!"

"good!"

Ling Xiao didn't waste any time, just took it and left.

"Ah, Donor Ling!"

"Why are you here?"

Along the way, the Taoist boys I met were overjoyed and looked at Ling Xiao with extremely respectful eyes.

Ling Xiao greeted them with a smile and walked out of the view.

[Hey, why is he holding a spiritual broom? 】

[You’re not asking him to sweep the mountain, are you? What’s Xiaoji doing? 】

The old cypress tree was extremely shocked.

Cleaning broom?

Ling Xiao looked at the broom in his hand and couldn't help but be surprised.

He did realize that this broom contained a touch of spirituality, but the spirituality was too weak, not even as good as a primary magic weapon.

"No matter what, just sweep it away!"

He took a deep breath and ran down the mountain steps. After a while, he found Ma Ying who was cleaning.

After explaining her purpose, Ma Ying raised her eyebrows and looked at Ling Xiao with a look that was a little more complicated.

"Since it is the master's order, then there is the donor Laoling."

After all, Ma Ying didn't say much, nodded, and went up the mountain.

After walking for a while, Ma Ying suddenly stopped and looked back.

Under the cover of branches and leaves, you can vaguely see Ling Xiao standing still.

"Even if Master wants to take you in, that thing will never be given to you..."

Ma Ying murmured to himself in a low voice, with a slightly twisted and ferocious expression on his face. It looked very different from his usual amiable self!

…

Ling Xiao didn't hear Ma Ying's words, he was studying the spirit broom.

Injecting mana into it, Ling Xiao showed a surprised expression.

The movement of mana in the magic weapon was extremely weird, different from any magic weapon he had ever come into contact with!

"How strange. Is this a magic weapon?" he said to himself.

Immediately, the surrounding trees rushed to tell the story.

【Did you find it?】

[The Spirit Broom is a good thing. It is not a magic weapon, but it is better than a magic weapon!]

[Its main function is to express the resonance between mana and the monks themselves, so that the monks can better understand the rules of mana! 】

[The more you scan, the deeper your understanding of mana will be!]
