It happened so suddenly that Xia Po and the others didn't even react.
To be honest, Xia Po arranged for a demon cultivator here, or a golden elixir stage demon cultivator, and he was ready to let the other two young people see how dangerous the world of cultivation is.
But it is not in this village at all, but in a place far away from this village.
He had originally planned how to lure these two guys there, but suddenly he felt that this village was a bit strange, so he wanted to teach them how to investigate something.
But I never expected that something like this would happen.
This is true for Xia Po, not to mention He Feng.
Although He Feng usually behaves like a tomboy, there is nothing like a woman should.
But at the end of the day, she is still a woman, and her resistance to things like feelings is average.
After hearing the story of the brother and sister that Xinchen had found out of nowhere, he was immersed in the story and before he could react, the old farmer spit out a mouthful of blood.
And that's not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the blood the old farmer spit out is just a pool of black blood!
Not to mention the black color, after being sprayed into the flames, it actually started to burn.
Seeing this scene, Xia Po suddenly became serious.
Because if it is just poison, it will never achieve this effect. If it can achieve this effect, then it only means one thing, that is, something similar to a "curse" has been placed on the old farmer's body.
And this "curse" will be triggered under certain special circumstances, causing this to happen.
Then it can only mean one thing, and that is that in this area, besides the one you arranged, there is another demon!
Thinking of this, Xia Po walked up to the old man and after confirming that he was completely dead, he began to examine the body.
"What on earth is going on? Why is it for no reason..."
Xinchen was stupid. He felt that he was only one step away from investigating the news about the demon cultivator, but suddenly the person disappeared.
Didn't this reversal happen too quickly?
He Feng was also a little dumbfounded, but he was still calm compared to Xinchen.
"Maybe...maybe this old man had some serious illness, and he died suddenly. It has nothing to do with us. My spiritual eyes didn't see anything, so it must have nothing to do with it..."
He calmly comforted himself and shied away the blame.
These two guys are really too young, and it can be said that it is their first time to go out to practice, and they have little experience. It is understandable to have such a reaction.
Xia Po ignored them, because his body had been here before, and he was 100% sure that there was definitely only one demon cultivator here!
And it's not in this village, it's even some distance away from this village.
But why does such a bizarre thing happen?
If it was really a demonic cultivator who cast the curse, it would be impossible for there to be no breath or even spiritual power fluctuations, right?
Seemingly noticing that Xia Po had entered a serious state, He Feng and Xin Chen stopped talking and just looked at Xia Po nervously.
After a moment, Xia Po's brows instantly knitted together.
"No, get out of here!"
After saying that, he lay down, and Xinchen and He Feng didn't think much and immediately hid in the side direction.
Then, the old man who suddenly died suddenly opened his mouth, and a smelly liquid was sprayed out from his mouth, and a black thing was also sprayed out along with the liquid.
Then it fell to the ground, trembled twice and then stopped completely.
"Spirit worm!"
After seeing this black thing, both He Feng's faces turned pale.
Because they all thought of one thing at the same time, that was spiritual insects.
The attitude of these monks towards spiritual insects now is different from before.
What were spirit insects before?
For most monks, it feels like they would be crushed to death by one foot. It is just that the swarms of spiritual insects raised around some insect cultivators are a bit of a threat.
But it is completely different now. Spiritual insect disasters are simply synonymous with disasters. Later, several spiritual insect disasters occurred one after another.
It’s more outrageous than the last time!
Although it has been said for so many years, the world of cultivation has gained very good experience in preventing spiritual insects, and has developed a lot of things to prevent spiritual insects.
It won't be like the first spiritual insect plague, where each sect is like potato chips, breaking into pieces at the touch of a touch.
But every time there is a spiritual insect disaster, many monks will still die.
Moreover, now there are no spiritual insects that appear alone, they always appear in groups.
No wonder these two guys were so scared after seeing this thing that looked like a spiritual insect.
Xia Po frowned, and then walked to the black thing. After observing it for a while, he picked up a stick that had not yet burned out from the fire next to it.
After poking the black thing's body with the wooden stick, he let out a long breath and looked at He Feng.
"Did you just notice what the young man was holding when he ran out?"
He Feng thought for a while and then said.
"There should be no spiritual-level herbs. Mortals seem to rely on this kind of thing to treat illnesses and injuries."
Hearing He Feng's words, Xin Chen looked puzzled.
"The thing was wrapped in cloth at the time. How did you know what was inside?"
In this regard, Xia Po said calmly.
"The spiritual eye has the function of seeing through things."
"ah???"
Xinchen was shocked, and then looked down at himself.
"Don't think about the ones that are there or not. Maybe she even used her spiritual eyes to compare the size of the two of us?"
"ha???"
Xinchen was even more shocked.
Only He Feng frowned slightly: "What on earth are you talking about? What on earth is this thing if it's not a spiritual insect?"
At this time, Xia Po finally swept the black thing into the flames with a wooden stick, then slowly stood up, and his memory was pulled back to a long, long time ago.
It really was a long, long time ago, when I was still in the mortal world.
I remember that at that time, in order to get close to a person, I gave him the method of raising voodoo on Blue Star in my previous life.
As a result, that guy took this method to the Miao country and fermented it for hundreds of years, and finally came up with a method of raising voodoo.
Xia Po didn't pay much attention to it at first, but as time passed, those Miao Gu farmers became more and more outrageous, actually reaching out to the place where he lived.
Since he was a rather stubborn person, he hated such sinister things as voodoo, so he directly took action and cut off most of the inheritance of cultivating voodoo.
However, it is impossible to completely cut off this kind of thing. Just thousands of years ago, Xia Po suddenly discovered that someone actually brought this art of cultivating gu to the world of cultivation!
After some investigation, he was even more shocked. There was actually a mortal, a pure mortal, not even a warrior.
This mortal, using Gu magic, actually killed a foundation-building monk to death!
That's when he realized something was not right.
After all, Gu are raised from mortal things. Although killing a foundation-building monk involves a lot of luck, it is still shocking enough.
If voodoo cultivation continues to develop, and someone combines spiritual insects and spiritual grass from the cultivation world to raise voodoo, the consequences will be disastrous!
By then, there will probably be a lot of trouble!
Fortunately, the monks in the world of cultivation are really not interested in the things of mortals. In addition, the dead monks in the foundation-building stage had already lived long enough, so they did not attract anyone's attention.
And Xia Po just dealt with this matter, originally thinking that this was just a very small episode in his long years.
Unexpectedly, I saw Gu again now!
"Bai Hun, what on earth is this?"
Seeing that Xia Po was in a daze, Xin Chen couldn't help but urge him.
Xia Po slowly turned his head, looked at Xin Chen and the others solemnly, and then said.
"This is Gu, a mortal creature that I thought existed only in legends, so it doesn't have any spiritual power fluctuations. It's very strange. I'm afraid our investigation mission will be very difficult."
