Looking at the Wuzhi-like water ghost, Muchen felt sure.
"Brother Mu, we are here to help you."
After getting rid of the old man, Song Hu and Ling Huaiyuan rushed over. The three of them used talismans together, and soon the water ghost who didn't know how to dodge and just attacked blindly was blasted into pieces alive.
"I really didn't expect that a seemingly insignificant task could be so difficult. If it weren't for Brother Mu's talisman, we really wouldn't be able to solve this old guy."
Huaiyuan said with lingering fear.
"These talismans are really useful."
Song Hu nodded. This was the first time he squandered the talismans like this. It was as if he had no money at all. It was so satisfying.
"This is the old guy's storage bag."
Ling Huaiyuan handed a storage bag to Muchen.
Muchen took the storage bag and glanced at it. There were some strange and weird things in it. At first glance, they were only used by heretics. In addition, there was a method of refining corpses.
"You guys should divide these things."
Muchen took away the corpse refining method from it and handed the storage bag back.
"Then we won't refuse."
Ling Huaiyuan took the storage bag and divided it up with Song Hu happily. There were not many spirit stones in it, and they couldn't use those weird materials, but they could sell some spirit stones, which was a big gain. Compared with
It's more than one mission for them.
"Everyone is exhausted tonight. Let's go back and have a rest. We will have another day of rest tomorrow. We will set off to those towns the day after tomorrow."
After Muchen finished speaking, he took out the flying magic weapon and returned to Qinghe Town.
Song and Hu, who were still distributing the harvest, saw this and looked around at the darkness. Thinking that the noise of the battle just now might attract some monsters or other things, they followed Muchen, planning to wait until they returned.
Continue to divide.
Returning to the residence assigned by Wang Youcai, Muchen was not in a hurry to rest, but took out the only gain from the old guy, the corpse refining method.
The method of refining corpses does not use jade slips as a carrier, but a book.
Muchen looked through it and found that there were many types of corpse refining methods recorded in it, not only the ordinary corpse refining methods, but also the Yin soldiers, hanged ghosts, water ghosts and other types mentioned by the old guy.
There are many kinds, but the cultivation methods are all cruel and require specific death methods to refine them. Moreover, the growth potential of these refined corpses is far inferior to the methods recorded in the Corpse Raising Sutra.
Generally speaking, it doesn't have much effect, it's not as good as the Sutra of Nourishing the Corpse.
Muchen read the end and was about to put the book away, but found that there was another paragraph at the end of the book that was added later.
This passage was written by the old guy, and it actually records the origin of the water ghost.
What surprised Muchen was that the water ghost turned out to be the old guy's Taoist companion. According to what he said, his Taoist companion died tragically in the river during a battle. He snatched the body back and used the corpse refining method recorded in the book to transform his own.
The Taoist couple was refined into a water ghost.
What makes Muchen most embarrassed is that the old guy's purpose of refining the Taoist monks into water ghosts was not to obtain powerful helpers, but to resurrect the dead Taoist monks one day.
I never thought this old guy could be so emotional.
It's a pity that his idea is just wishful thinking.
Muchen didn't know if true resurrection from the dead existed in the world of immortality. Even if it existed, it could only be done by the legendary immortals, not just a small Qi-training monk.
"That's all, since you are a pair of fateful couple, I won't let you expose your corpses in the wilderness."
Muchen said and flew out of the room and returned to the lake in the mountains.
The old man's body and the remaining fragments of the water ghost are still there, but they have attracted some wild animals to eat them.
Muchen waved his hand to drive away these beasts, gathered the two bodies together, buried them in the soil, and made a simple grave.
"Everyone in the world is suffering. Who told you to kill me? Otherwise, I might as well have spared your life."
Muchen sighed, if there was a second time, he would still kill him.
The reason is very simple. People who want to kill him must not be merciful no matter what the reason is.
When we returned to our residence again, it was almost dawn. Early the next morning, Wang Youcai personally came to invite Muchen to have breakfast, but he refused.
Time flies and one day passes.
The three of them left Qinghe Town and set off again, heading to a village where several children were missing.
According to Muchen's guess, it was most likely done by a monster. He had encountered a similar situation when he was in Fengyang Imperial Capital.
Thinking of this, he thought of Gongsun Yuan again. He didn't know what he was like now. He was probably still working as a coolie in the spiritual mines under the Tianlan Sect. He could only spend his whole life in the mines.
It didn't take half a day for the three of them to arrive at the village.
"Immortal, there is an immortal in the sky!"
The villagers were all astonished as they looked at the three Muchen people falling from the sky.
"Hurry up and come over to greet the immortal. What are you looking at randomly? Aren't you afraid that the immortal will chop off your heads?"
An old man summoned the villagers and scolded those who looked at the sky in a daze. He seemed to be quite prestigious in the village.
As soon as Muchen and the others landed on the ground, all the villagers knelt down and worshiped, as if they were kneeling before the emperor.
"Everyone, get up, who of you is the village chief?"
Muchen asked as he glanced at the villagers.
"The younger one is the village chief."
The old man walked up with his back hunched over.
"How to call it?"
"Ah." The old man was stunned for a moment and then said quickly: "Immortal, just call me Old Man Cheng."
"Yeah." Muchen nodded and said, "Old man Cheng, tell me about the situation in your village."
"Sir, you must save the dolls in the village. I don't know why. A few days ago, the dolls in the village were lost one after another. I couldn't stop them. Several of us were together day and night.
Keep an eye on the child, but at night, the child is also lost."
Old man Cheng said in despair.
In this barren village similar to the ancient Dragon Kingdom, population is extremely important, especially young adults. Only with strong labor can we grow food and serve the corvee. Once there are no young adults, not only the food will be gone, but also the food will be gone.
The corvées were levied above, and women, the elderly, and children up to half the age were all taken away. It was extremely cruel.
Children are the guarantee for the next generation of young adults. Once there are no children, a village will lose its vitality and will be finished sooner or later.
This point is the same regardless of whether there are immortal cultivators in the world or not. It's the same fuck.
It can only be said that today's Dragon Kingdom has ushered in an unprecedented good era.
"I see."
Muchen nodded. He didn't have much hope that he could rescue those children. If those children were kidnapped by monsters, they would have been eaten without even their bones. No matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to save them.
If it's impossible, you have to come back.
What he said at this time was just to comfort the other party.
After understanding the general situation, Muchen asked the villagers to tell their experiences in detail one by one, especially those families who had lost their children. This chapter has been completed!
