Chapter 699 Return to the original owner, the ancient lamp is on
"Stupid scholar."
Some people joked in front of Confucian scholars.
The Confucian scholar was not angry about this, but was very anxious in his heart. He kept chanting: "The evil cultivator is coming."
The people in the town are living a peaceful life as before, unaware that danger is slowly approaching.
The Confucian scholar is called Mo Xuanzhi. He is over 20 years old. He has lived in the town since he was a child and studied Confucianism and Taoism intensively. There is no slight fluctuation in his cultivation. He is thin and unable to do hard work.
At the entrance of the town, Xu Changge came wearing a light blue gown. His consciousness scanned every place in the town and got a general understanding of the situation here.
"Scholar, what is your name?"
Xu Changge appeared behind Mo Xuanzhi.
Mo Xuanzhi turned around, looked at Xu Changge carefully, and replied politely: "Xiaosheng Mo Xuanzhi, the young master looks a bit unfamiliar, he is not from the town, right?"
"He's from out of town." Xu Changge examined Mo Xuanzhi. His meridians were blocked and his spiritual energy could not enter his body.
However, Mo Xuanzhi has a pure heart, clear eyes, and is not tempted by worldly things, which is extremely rare.
"Master, please get out of here quickly!"
In the past few days, Mo Xuanzhi went from door to door to inform his fellow villagers, asking everyone to leave here as soon as possible. However, Mo Xuanzhi's actions not only failed to attract people's attention, but also labeled him as crazy.
Of course, there were also a few people who believed in Mo Xuanzhi. They quickly packed their luggage and went out, heading towards the nearest city, where powerful human monks were stationed.
"Why are you leaving?" Xu Changge asked knowingly and wanted to test Mo Xuanzhi's talent.
"I have a hunch that something big is going to happen to the town."
Mo Xuanzhi has always had a feeling of heart palpitations. It only happened occasionally before, but recently it has become very strong.
"In that case, why don't you leave?"
Xu Changge glanced at a mountain forest next to the town and noticed the movements of some monster creatures. He turned to Mo Xunzhi and asked.
"The folks haven't left yet, I can't let it go." Mo Xuuzhi's face was full of anxiety. He wanted to help the people in the town, but his own strength and status were limited, and few people believed him.
"As you said, this town is going to be in trouble. If you don't leave, you will probably die. Aren't you afraid?"
Xu Changge glanced at the passers-by, and then lowered his gaze to the ground at his feet.
Spiritual veins!
There is a deeply hidden spiritual vein under the town, which should be the reason why the demon clan is about to come.
"I'm just an ordinary person, so of course I will be afraid." Mo Xuanzhi smiled bitterly: "But if you are afraid, you must not shy away from what you should do. Even if I really die, I will not regret it."
Mo Xuanzhi bowed his hands in front of Xu Changge and said in salute: "Young master, you should leave as soon as possible! I still have things to do, and I have no time to chat. I'll take my leave."
After finishing speaking, Mo Xuanzhi quickened his pace, looking for a street with a larger flow of people, and advised everyone to leave quickly and not stay in the town.
In addition to this approach, Mo Xuanzhi also went to the county magistrate's office many times to report the matter. If he could get the county magistrate's order, the people in the town would definitely not doubt it.
However, the county magistrate ignored Mo Xuanzhi, thinking that Mo Xuanzhi's brain had been damaged by reading books for many years.
In the dead of night, Mo Xuanzhi was sitting at the door of the county government office with a look of despair.
Mo Xuanzhi looked up and found that it was terribly dark tonight and there was no light from the stars. In the past, the sky was full of stars, so bright and dazzling.
Nowadays, even the moonlight is particularly dim, as if it is blocked by dark clouds.
"Scholar, this is for you." Throughout the whole day, Xu Changge had been observing Mo Xuanzhi's every move, and at the same time, he also used secret methods to learn about Mo Xuanzhi's life experience.
Xu Changge handed the ancient lamp from the Confucian sect to Mo Xuanzhi.
Mo Xuanzhi subconsciously took the ancient lamp and looked at it carefully, not understanding what it was: "You are the young man from the daytime, what does this mean?"
"The property returns to its original owner."
Xu Changge smiled slightly.
"Ah?" Mo Xuanzhi's face was full of confusion and he didn't know why.
"I hope we can meet again one day." Xu Changge turned around and walked away: "At that time, we will make tea and discuss the Tao, and give guidance to the country."
"Sir, what do you mean by these words?"
Mo Xuanzhi took a few steps towards Xu Changge and found that Xu Changge's figure had disappeared and his whereabouts were unknown.
Immediately afterwards, Mo Xuanzhi looked around with a stunned expression.
Finally, Mo Xuanzhi's eyes fell on the ancient lantern in his hand.
Half a month later, hundreds of monster monks rushed out from the mountains and forests next to the town and rushed into the town at extremely fast speeds. Many people suffered disasters and lost their lives.
"Run quickly!"
"It's a demon clan, it's really a demon clan!"
"We are in a remote and remote area, how can a demon clan come here?"
"What Mr. Mo said is true, we wrongly blamed him!"
At this moment, everyone had no way out and looked desperate. Everyone regretted it. If they had known that this would be the result, they would have run away long ago.
Many people ran to the county government and wanted to beg the county master to arrest the demon monks, because the county master was one of the few practitioners in the town. When these people arrived at the county government, they found that the county master had been killed and his body was buried by a group of people.
The wild wolf is gnawing, which is shocking.
"It's over!"
Many people were frightened and fainted, and some were hiding in corners of their homes shivering, closing their lips tightly and not daring to make the slightest sound.
Although Mo Xuanzhi was afraid in his heart, he was able to overcome the fear of mortals and face the demon monks head-on.
"Bang!"
Mo Xuanzhi took a bamboo stick and hit a wild boar with red eyes hard.
The stick broke, but it didn't hurt the wild boar at all, just like scratching an itch.
The wild boar pounced on Mo Xuazhi, trying to bite him into pieces.
Suddenly, the stone lamp hanging on Mo Xuanzhi's waist burst out with a mysterious light, directly killing the wild boar. The body was intact, but the vitality in the body had dissipated.
"This is......"
Mo Xuanzhi saw hope.
The demon cultivators in the town smelled a hint of danger, and they all rushed to where Mo Xuanzhi was.
"Since it's a lamp, why doesn't it have a wick?"
Mo Xuanzhi looked at the ancient lamp suspended in front of him. He didn't know whether it was an instinctive action or something he read from the sage's book. He saw Mo Xuanzhi bit his index finger and used the blood as lamp oil. He tore a strand of long hair.
, to serve as a wick.
"The hope of all living beings is the light."
Later, Mo Xuazhi found that he saw a strange scene. People in despair, eager to survive.
Everyone's belief is like a firefly, floating in the sky over the town.
Mo Xuanzhi waved his hands gently, gathered the fireflies of hope in one place, and lit the ancient lamp.
The ancient lamp of Confucianism and Taoism, which had been extinguished for countless years, is now on.
The light may seem weak, but it can drive away all ghosts, demons, demons and desires.
