After landing, I just felt the stench and couldn't help but block my nose.
Baili Chengfeng, who had always been clean, frowned slightly. Even though using his spiritual power would damage his body, he still used his spiritual power to seal his nose to avoid smelling the unpleasant rancid smell.
"Quack quack——"
The village was lifeless, without any human life. There were only crows sitting on the dead branches, squawking.
"Are all the people in this village dead?"
"Ah? Isn't it too miserable?"
"Could it be that bandits massacred the village?"
Everyone looked at the village in front of them and kept guessing.
Jiang Deng was also looking at the village. Her eyes mainly fell on the wooden door at the entrance of the village. The wooden door was tightly closed. There were no signs of forced entry. It did not look like it had been robbed by bandits.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Pushing open the wooden door, Jiang Deng walked into the village.
When the others saw that Jiang Deng, who was leading the team, had gone in, they naturally followed him. The further they walked into the village, the stronger they could smell the stench.
However, Jiang Deng remained expressionless as she followed the odor and found the source of the stench.
It is the best courtyard in this simple village. Not surprisingly, the person living here should be the village chief.
Squeak——
Jiang Deng pushed open the door and walked in. What he saw was a pile of bloody corpses. There were hundreds of corpses, which filled the yard. At first glance, it looked like a hill.
"ah!"
Everyone couldn't help but scream in surprise.
They are all teenagers under the age of thirty. Ever since they entered the Taichu Sword Sect, they have been practicing with great concentration. Few of them go down the mountain to do tasks, and their minds are relatively simple.
At this moment, seeing such a cruel scene, it is inevitable that it is unacceptable.
"vomit!!!"
"This is too cruel!"
Jiang Zhi frowned, "I searched this village with my spiritual sense and found that there are no survivors. Everyone in the village is here..."
Zhou Shan said angrily: "Those bandits who killed them are simply not human beings!"
"wrong."
The person who spoke out was Xia Chenqing.
He was in the Nascent Soul realm and had already gone down the mountain to do many tasks. He had seen a lot of dark things, so he was naturally calmer than the other disciples.
Xia Chenqing looked at these corpses carefully and found that all of them looked hideous, with their limbs twisting in extremely weird postures. The strangest thing was that all their souls had disappeared!
"It's evil cultivators who are causing trouble." Xia Chenqing came to this conclusion with a firm tone.
What?
Everyone looked at each other.
A disciple with a simple personality scratched his head and asked, "Evil cultivator? Senior brother, what is an evil cultivator?"
"Those of us who only focus on cultivating on our own and do not harm mortals are considered righteous monks, while evil cultivators will use all kinds of cruel methods, including the cruel methods of evil demons and heretics, and quickly increase their strength by killing their own clansmen," Xia Chenqing explained.
.
Feng Jiuyou wondered: "How can Xie Xiu improve his strength by killing these mortals?"
"To be precise, they are all used as food."
The one who made the sound was Jiang Deng, who was squatting on the ground and observing the corpse at close range.
Facing the hideous corpses, Jiang Deng's expression remained unchanged as her eyes fell on the abdomens of one corpse after another.
There was a big hole in the abdomen of each corpse. It didn't look like it was injured by external force, but it was damaged from within, as if something took root and sprouted in their abdomen, and finally burst their belly.
A long flesh-colored strip was vaguely visible in the organ. It was not an intestine, but seemed to be part of the thing that had grown out of it. The thing that grew out of the end was gone and seemed to have been picked off.
Xia Chenqing frowned and asked, "Sister Jiang, what do you mean by this?"
"Using the body to cultivate medicine is the blood bodhi."
Jiang Deng and Baili Chengfeng said in unison.
Realizing that someone had said the same thing as him, the two looked at each other subconsciously. Jiang Deng's eyes were panicked, while Baili Chengfeng's was confused.
"Ahem! I was just guessing."
Jiang Deng secretly thought that he was talking too much and quickly looked away, no longer looking at Baili Chengfeng.
Baili Chengfeng felt a little strange. How could Jiang Deng, a Foundation Establishment monk, know so many things?
Xia Chenqing glanced at Jiang Deng and Baili Chengfeng, and finally chose Baili Chengfeng, who seemed more reliable, "Ye Shang Envoy, can you tell me more carefully?"
Baili Chengfeng didn't hide it, "Blood Bodhi is a special elixir, bred from the blood and souls of mortals. The evil cultivators who killed them should be using them to raise the elixir."
"Then how come they are all dead?"
The disciple who spoke felt chills all over. He really couldn't figure out who could be so cruel and indifferent to so many mortal lives.
Jiang Deng stood up slowly, "The evil cultivator should have put the seeds of Blood Bodhi into the well in the village in advance. People who drank the water from the well became containers for raising the elixir."
"The elixir took root, sprouted, matured and bloomed, bursting their stomachs and causing them to die in fear. Once those elixirs, Blood Bodhi, matured, they were harvested by evil cultivators, and the remaining corpses were useless, so they
All the evil cultivators were thrown here."
When Jiang Deng said this, he couldn't help but sigh, "These villagers are dead and soulless. We can't save them. Let's burn them."
Hearing this, Feng Jiuyou looked at Jiang Deng indignantly, "It's really cruel! When a person dies, he should be buried in his grave. According to my prince, you are just afraid of trouble!"
Jiang Deng glanced coldly and said in a stern tone: "Do you know that so many people dying in vain may cause a plague? If the plague spreads to several other villages, more people will die."
Feng Jiuyou said timidly: "...I, I don't know."
In the end, everyone worked together to use a fire spell, and the fire burned the village clean, taking away all the filth.
——
On the spirit boat.
Jiang Deng looked at the glowing village below.
This village appeared on the only way to the secret realm, so she always had a strong premonition in her heart that she might meet the evil cultivator who killed people and refined medicine in the secret realm...
Because of the incident where a mortal village was massacred by evil cultivators, the atmosphere on the spirit boat became somewhat dull for two days in a row.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask the demon species in his heart, "Do you demon cultivators also do this kind of thing?"
"How can you taint someone's innocence out of thin air! Those evil cultivators are as dark and dirty as insects, and they are not worthy of comparison with us demonic cultivators!"
The demon species quickly shouted: "We demon cultivators have always been honest and honest. We will only capture these mortals to raise elixirs. Whenever they are about to die, we will revive them until they die of old age, so that we can produce another generation after another."
It’s a miracle cure for stubble!”
Xiao Yan: "..."
It doesn't sound much better, so don't laugh at the second brother.
He looked sideways at Jiang Deng, his eyes flashing.
He really wanted to get Jiang Deng's blood for verification, but if he asked directly, Jiang Deng was not stupid and would definitely not give it to him, so what should he do?
Xiao Yan sighed in his heart, struggling and struggling along the way, when he saw a towering mountain lying in front of him.
