Chapter 4: Practice secretly for fifty years and amaze everyone
"It's so quiet!" The afterglow of the setting sun lengthened the silhouettes of the two of them, and the banyan tree spirit followed Yao Ranran step by step, looking around fearfully.
Yao Ranran nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.
Unlike the previous village, all the houses in this village had their doors closed, not a single tree was planted, and even the growing weeds showed signs of being pulled out.
The world of cultivating immortals is so strange!
After passing through most of the village, she finally saw an old woman in front of her.
The old lady was sitting by the campfire, eating unknown pancakes.
"Mother-in-law, is there a county town nearby? How can I get to the county?" Yao Ranran asked politely with a sweet smile.
The crumbs of cake in the old woman's mouth fell all over the floor.
She put down the pancake in her hand and wiped her eyes. Is this the Nine Heaven Fairy descending to the mortal world?
Or is a monster here to claim my life?
"Are you a demon or a fairy?" the old lady asked.
The banyan tree spirit and Yao Ranran were stunned at the same time. She replied: "I am a human and he is a tree spirit!"
"Tree spirit?" The old lady glanced at the proud banyan tree spirit, and her face suddenly changed: "Come on, come on, where are you from? The sun is going to set, you can't stay in this village!!"
Yao Ranran and the banyan tree spirit were startled by her fierce reaction.
"Is there any problem in this village?" Yao Ranran asked.
The old lady moved too much and reached her waist.
She sat back on the stone pier, her face full of vicissitudes of life, and her tone was sad: "All the villages in these ten miles and eight villages have been cursed, and now only a few old people in our Longyin Village are left."
"Run away quickly. There is something dirty in the village. Whenever the sun goes down, he will spit out black mist and eat the bodies of the villagers!"
"Black mist?" The banyan tree spirit was stunned for a moment.
What the ghost mist just sprayed out was black mist.
Yao Ranran also thought of the ghost fog just now, but he came out in broad daylight.
Her thoughts changed rapidly. According to what the old woman said, there were not many living people nearby, so she could only ask her about this matter.
Seeing that they were still stunned, the old woman stood up, picked up the crutch next to her and struck them towards them, "Go quickly, go quickly, get out quickly, and leave this cursed village!"
Yao Ranran's action of taking out the black bead was interrupted, and the banyan tree spirit stretched its branches with sharp eyes to take out the black bead.
"Grandma, look, is this the ghost mist causing trouble in your village?"
"What...what the heck..." The old lady was stunned. She saw the bead clearly.
"That's right, that's right! That's it, its eyes, I saw them once!!!"
The old woman was extremely excited and her shoulders could not stop shaking. She looked at the black bead and then looked at Yao Ranran's appearance.
"Did you kill this evil spirit?"
"Mother, my child has been cultivating for fifty years and is finally back! We will take revenge! The evil spirits will die!"
An old man with a white beard stood at the entrance of the village against the light, holding a sword in one hand and his eyes filled with crystal tears.
The old woman held the black beads and suddenly felt that it was unnecessary for this child to embark on the path of spiritual practice.
"Son! Mom misses you so much!"
The old man with white beard cried bitterly and threw himself into the grandmother's arms. He said in a choked voice: "Mother, I must kill the evil spirit that harmed the people in the village and avenge my father! Avenge all the dead villagers!"
"Um..." The old lady wiped the tears from her eyes and pushed him away, "Let me introduce to you, this is the savior of our village. The evil spirit is dead."
"Woo...what?" The white-bearded old man sniffed and widened his eyes: "Is this the Nine Heavens Fairy?"
Yao Ranran raised her hand: "Let me dispel a rumor online, I am not a nine-day fairy, I am just an ordinary little beauty, alas!"
She shook her head and sighed.
The banyan tree spirit looked at her sideways.
The white-bearded old man was stunned. Although he didn't understand what it meant to refute rumors online, he realized that Xie Sui was dead.
He took a sharp breath, "Are you also a cultivator?"
Yao Ranran tilted her head, put her jade finger on her lower lip and thought: "Well... that's right, why not?"
The banyan tree spirit rolled her eyes.
The old woman took the old man with the white beard and immediately knelt down with a plop.
"My benefactor, please accept the obeisance of the five hundred villagers from Longyin Village!"
When they lowered their heads, a tree vine wrapped around them, stabilizing their bodies.
The mother and son were stunned.
Yao Ranran shook her head, "It's too early to say this now. There may be more than one evil spirit. Let's wait until tonight is over before we talk!"
"The benefactor is right, mother, let's clean up the house quickly and ask the benefactor to stay here!" The white-bearded old man held the grandmother's hand tightly and looked at them gratefully.
The old lady shed tears of emotion and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, our village can be saved!"
Several people entered the house and after some conversation, Yao Ranran roughly understood the situation here.
This place is called Longyin Village. A hundred years ago, it was the most prosperous village in Shili and Baxiang.
However, according to the old woman's recollection, her mother had just married when a family of four suddenly disappeared mysteriously, and no one knew where they went.
The village chief lamented that it was a pity that the couple had finally had a son. They were looking forward to having a son, but they suddenly lost their lives.
Five years later, when the ghost fog came, someone picked up a longevity lock in the collapsed empty house of the Li family, with the name of the youngest son of the Li family engraved on it.
Then, the next night, someone was swallowed up by the black mist and died, with no bones left.
Rumors spread that the youngest son of the Li family had come back to claim his life, causing the villagers to panic.
During the past hundred years, they had invited many Taoist priests to come and get rid of the evil spirits, but all of them were eaten up by the ghost mist, and everyone gave up their thoughts.
Moving means moving, fleeing means fleeing.
Nearby villages gradually declined.
Longyin Village is no longer as prosperous as it once was.
"Now we are the only five old people left in Longyin Village, as well as my son." Grandma Zhang said.
Jiang Shengxiang lit the oil lamp and sighed: "In my generation, no children will stay here anymore. In order to save my life and to kill the evil spirits and avenge them, fifty years ago, my mother sent me to this place when I was eight years old.
In the nearest Yanlong County, I worshiped a Taoist as my teacher. After practicing for fifty years, the Taoist sect declined, so I returned to my hometown, thinking of avenging the people in the village!"
"But I didn't expect to meet my benefactor, and Xie Zui has been killed by his benefactor!"
Jiang Shengxiang looked at her gratefully.
Yao Ranran touched her head in embarrassment, "I happened to bump into it. It wanted to eat us, so I killed it."
Before taking action, she didn't know she had such ability.
Listening to them talk about it, this ghost fog seems to be quite powerful!
The Nine Lotus Ring is a magic weapon that the original owner kept in his Dantian. Even if his cultivation was exhausted at that time, this magic weapon was still not forced out.
She only discovered this after practicing secretly.
