I wonder if the opponent is too cunning. No matter whether it is investigating Cui Shu or investigating the exorcism seal, there is no progress at all.
According to Ning Chenhao, who went to find Cui Shu himself, Cui Shu had no food or salt at all, and he didn't know anything he asked.
Cheng Yingying, who went to the villagers to inquire about Cui Shu, came back with even more outrageous results. All the villagers had the same comments about Cui Shu.
This is a hard-working child, diligent and grateful.
This is outrageous.
Pei Jitong felt a little irritated and at the same time had an ominous premonition.
Tonight is the third night in Anping Village. There is no moon, not even the glimmer of stars.
The dark wind in the mountains gusted like a wandering ghost whispering. The entire Anping Village was asleep, without a trace of light or sound.
"ah----"
A blood-curdling scream broke the silence of the night.
Hua Wanzhao immediately opened her eyes and recovered from her meditative state.
Cheng Yingying, who was staying outside, had already rushed out.
As soon as Hua Wanzhao left the room, she heard a low voice: "All Qi Refining disciples stay in the room and are not allowed to move rashly!"
This is Pei Jitong's voice.
When the incident occurred, it was Ming Yiqian's turn to be on duty. As soon as the news broke out, he rushed to the scene of the incident.
It's the Yang family whose son is home on vacation today.
When Ming Yiqian arrived, there were only bloody rags left there, not even the broken limbs or arms.
The woman who warmly invited Hua Wanzhao to be their guest during the day was sitting on the ground with a horrified look on her face, trembling in her bed, and muttering: "Don't eat me...don't eat me..."
Seeing that there was no hope of chasing the evil creature, Ming Yiqian gave the woman a calming technique and asked another disciple to help her into the room to prevent her from breaking down again after seeing the tragic image in the courtyard.
Pei Jitong and Li Muhan arrived.
Li Muhan cast a spell on the blood cloth on the ground. After casting it three times in a row, he only caught the remaining soul.
"this……"
The remnant soul couldn't tell them what happened.
Pei Jitong and Li Muhan both looked bad. This unknown evil creature not only eats people, but also doesn't spare their souls.
Suddenly a woman screamed in the room: "I don't know anything!"
"Don't eat me!"
"none of my business……"
"That vixen brought it upon himself..."
There was no sound after that. Ming Yiqian must have knocked her unconscious when he saw that she was too excited.
The two people who originally planned to go to the house to ask witnesses about the situation stopped.
"Did Fellow Daoist Pei find nothing?"
Pei Jitong frowned: "The evil spirit moved too fast, and my consciousness only caught a black shadow heading southwest."
"So, tomorrow we will focus on exploring the southwest."
Li Muhan looked around: "It was such a commotion here just now. These people didn't come out to help, and no one even opened the door to ask. Fellow Daoist Pei, what kind of evil thing is it that makes these villagers so afraid?"
Not only that, since the commotion started, Pei Jitong's spiritual consciousness has been covering the whole village. Not to mention anyone who came out to inquire about the situation, there was no one who even opened a crack in the door.
This is so strange.
The woman's words were also puzzling.
What secrets does this small village on the edge of the sect hide?
***
The next day, only after dawn did the villagers come out for activities.
The house where the man died last night had already hung up white lanterns. The woman was sitting at the door burning paper silently with a dull look on her face. Next to her was a three or four year old boy kneeling.
Seeing Pei Ji walking towards them, the woman stopped burning the paper in her hand and a crazy look flashed in her eyes.
She rushed to Pei Jitong and shouted hoarsely: "Aren't you immortals? Why didn't you kill the monster?"
"Please have my condolences." Li Muhan's voice was calm, as plain as saying "The weather is nice today."
"Didn't I ask you to come here just to kill that monster? You can't even do this well, so why should I provide for you?"
Pei Jitong tried to reason with her: "Even if we want to eliminate evil spirits, we must proceed step by step. We don't want what happened last night to happen. We will step up vigilance..."
"Then my head's death was in vain? Damn it, I know that you immortals don't take the lives of us mortals at all. You are using my head's life to pave the way..." The woman couldn't help but sit down.
Crying and howling on the ground.
When the boy saw the woman crying, he started to cry too.
"Calm down first..."
The woman's cry suddenly stopped: "I know, it must be because you saw that everything was fine in the past few days, but you didn't protect us seriously yesterday! What do you immortals think of us mortals?"
She has begun to speak fluently.
The villagers did not agree with the woman's words, but their eyes slowly changed.
One of the grumpy Yijian Fengsha disciples couldn't help it: "What did you say, you ignorant village woman? I came here with good intentions to drive away evil spirits. I didn't say that you were waiting for me and I should be grateful, but now I'm talking about it!"
"
Even the disciples of Beidousha, who cultivated the ruthless path and always dealt with things indifferently, looked worried.
"What did you say!"
There was a heavy sound of a cane hitting the ground, and it was the village chief who arrived belatedly.
"village head……"
When she saw the village chief coming, the woman did not dare to be arrogant and murmured without making a sound.
After intimidating the mischievous village woman, the village chief licked his face and apologized to Pei Jitong: "Master Immortal, please don't blame me. The Yang family's men are gone and they are unconscious. Please have more of them, Master Immortal."
"Of course we won't embarrass a woman whose husband just died." A voice said unhurriedly.
[Hey, Mu Linxiao, don’t forget that you are only a disciple in the Qi refining stage now, why do you want to attract so much attention? 】
Hua Wanzhao was so angry at Mu Linxiao. Why didn't the novel say that this person was indiscriminate in his behavior?
Pei Jitong frowned: "He Xi, pay attention to your wording."
Ning Chenhao and Ming Yiqian suddenly looked at Mu Linxiao, obviously recognizing his identity from the disinterested tone and the name Pei Jitong shouted.
"I just have a few questions." Mu Lin smiled innocently.
I don't know whether it was because of the village chief's scolding or because Mu Linxiao looked a little scary at this time, but the woman said tremblingly: "Immortal...immortal master..."
"You said it had nothing to do with you last night. What does it have nothing to do with you?"
The lady trembled and turned pale.
"And what's a vixen?"
These questions are also what Pei Jitong and others want to know.
Although Pei Jitong prohibited the Qi Refining Stage disciples from going out last night, he did not stop them from using their spiritual senses. They could detect the situation at that time with their spiritual senses.
The woman looked very frightened, but she never spoke.
"If you refuse to speak, the monks have many ways to make you speak obediently." Mu Linxiao said slowly.
The village chief hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Everyone Yang is in a bad mood right now, I'll ask someone to comfort her. How about you immortals go check it out first, and then listen to her words when you come back?"
There is nothing wrong with Mu Lin's smile.
Some people wanted to ask more questions, but were stopped by Pei Jitong and Li Muhan.
After the woman caused such a scene, the atmosphere in the team became even more solemn.
Pei Jitong divided his disciples into five groups and cast a net throughout the southwest, hoping to find clues of evil spirits.
Hua Wanzhao, Mu Linxiao, Ming Yiqian and two disciples of Beidou Sha were in a group.
When leaving the village, I met Cui Shu who was also going out.
After a few miles, Ming Yiqian stopped and turned to look at Cui Shu, who had been following them at a short distance: "Why are you following us?"
