On this side, the head of Maoshan and the great elder of Maoshan were fighting a battle of wits and courage.
On the other hand, in Renjia Town, a strange thing happened recently.
Qiu Sheng seemed to have encountered some difficulties. He was turning around anxiously, holding something in his hand, which was a paper man.
That is the communication paper figure left by Russell. If you encounter any trouble, you can contact it by just using a little magic power.
Of course, he certainly couldn't achieve a very realistic expression, after all, his magic power was not enough.
At this moment, he was thinking about something. Just as he was about to make up his mind to activate the paper man, he felt a cold air blowing on his neck.
This scared him.
According to his experience of encountering female ghosts over the years, the person blowing the air conditioner was most likely a female ghost with very big breasts.
Qiu Sheng subconsciously grabbed the Zhengtian Stone on his chest and shouted loudly.
"Demons and ghosts, please leave! My junior brother is Luo Su, the real master of Maoshan!!"
Russell: ...
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Russell shook his shoulders and looked at the bewildered Qiu Sheng, holding back a smile, as if he was not the one who had scared him just now.
Seeing that it was his junior fellow apprentice, Qiu Sheng heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with resentment.
That little look seemed to be rebuking someone for being unsportsmanlike and getting worse and worse.
Russell's eyes rolled around, looking at the paper figure in his hand, "Brother, you are looking for me, what's the matter?"
This trick of changing the subject is always effective.
This time was no exception. Qiu Sheng instantly remembered the important matter and immediately started talking about the strange things that had happened in Renjia Town recently.
Graves eat people.
A few days ago, a few kids were playing hide-and-seek nearby. While they were playing, they suddenly realized that one of them was missing.
This is no small matter. Although they are young, their elders often remind them that this world is a very strange place.
As soon as they found out their little friend was missing, they started making a fuss and went to the market to call for help from their parents.
Coincidentally, it was near the end of the year, the market was very lively, and there were many adults on the streets.
As soon as they heard that a baby was lost, they swarmed into the mountains to look for it. With strength in numbers, they found the baby in a short time.
I saw that the baby's half body was stuck in the grave and couldn't move. The grave just happened to have a crack, as if it was eating people.
Everyone present was terrified. Several strong young men pulled the baby with all their might and finally rescued it.
No matter how they burned it or poked it with a knife, it was soft inside and showed no reaction at all.
When they wanted to overturn the grave with shovels, they unexpectedly saw long tentacles emerge from it, which directly injured them severely and they dared not move forward anymore.
This strange incident scared the entire Renjia Town into an uproar, and people of all ages were talking about it.
Some say it is a tree spirit.
Some say it's a spider spirit.
Some people say that it is a wronged female ghost who wants to take someone’s life.
There are so many different opinions that it makes people shudder.
Fortunately, the mayor was experienced and directly blocked the place, not allowing anyone to approach. The things inside seemed to be taboo about something and did not come out.
After listening to Qiu Sheng's story, Russell also felt confused.
In the grave.
It has long tentacles.
Not afraid of fire or knife.
Is this a numbness
Russell had a strange look on his face and scratched his head with his little hands. He could never imagine that this was a weird thing.
He shook his head violently, exerted force on his feet, and in an instant, he disappeared in front of Qiu Sheng.
Qiu Sheng looked at Russell's departing figure with a puzzled look on his face.
"Did I forget something?"
The next moment, a figure suddenly fell from the sky.
It was Russell.
He looked embarrassed and coughed dryly.
"Well, I forgot to ask, which hill is the man-eating grave you said is on?"
Qiu Sheng: ...
...
"This grave is not simple!"
Russell walked around the grave several times, looked at the wriggling hole, and couldn't help shaking his head in amazement.
The old mayor beside him was not as leisurely as him, and asked anxiously, "What kind of monster is this?"
"Not a monster."
"What? Not a monster?"
The old mayor couldn't believe his ears. He looked at the grave in front of him and frowned when he thought of the countless tentacles that stretched out from it yesterday.
If he had not seen how powerful Russell was, he would have really thought that Russell was talking nonsense.
The old mayor saw Russell's calm expression and immediately felt that there must be something fishy about this matter.
He looked at the grave in confusion, "What is this then?"
Russell touched his chin and replied suddenly.
"Old Mayor, have you ever heard of an old saying?"
"What?"
"You are asking for trouble!"
"This..." The old mayor was also a smart man. He immediately understood what Russell said. He pointed at the grave with an incredible look on his face.
"The thing in there, is it Tai Sui?"
He was surprised, with his mouth open, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Tai Sui is a very taboo existence in the legends of the mortal world.
According to legend, there is a star in the sky called Tai Sui, and a flesh-like object grows on the ground, which is called Tai Sui.
Whenever the star Tai Sui appears in the sky, there will be great disasters in the world, no less severe than that caused by the star Yinghuo.
Because disasters always occur in places above Tai Sui, there is generally a taboo not to dig above Tai Sui's head, in order to avoid disturbing the Tai Sui star in the sky and causing disasters on earth.
Russell took a step forward, reached out his hand, and pulled something out of the black hole on the grave as the old mayor stared in amazement.
A sticky lump of stuff, long, soft, and very ugly to look at.
When he put it to his nose and smelled it, he could smell an unusual fragrance, and the old mayor standing next to him even felt several years younger.
Russell narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. This is really good stuff.
He casually threw the sticky thing in his hand to the old mayor and said, "Whoever sees it gets it. This is yours. Soak it in water. Maybe you can have another one next year!"
The old mayor's face turned red and he couldn't help but utter something with a trembling mouth.
"I'm almost fifty, why should I have another child?"
Although he said that, his hands were honest. He didn't mind the sticky thing at all and happily stuffed it into his arms.
"This thing has become a spirit, and its effect is extraordinary. Ordinary people like you can only use a little bit. If you use more, it will definitely bring disaster!"
Russell glanced at him and said, "You should know how to say it outside, right?"
"Young Taoist priest, don't worry. Although I am old, I am very tight-lipped and will not gossip outside."
Russell nodded with satisfaction. It was comfortable to talk to smart people.
This Tai Sui spirit can prolong life, it must be a good thing for ordinary people
If I tell anyone, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
Given Uncle Jiu's personality, if only one or two people came to ask for help, it would be fine, but he was afraid that if a large group came, the favor would be unevenly distributed and turn into hatred.
That's not perfect!
The tomb in front of him moved strangely, as if it was hurt by Russell's scratch just now, and the entrance began to slowly close.
The old mayor then realized that what was in front of him was not a grave, but a Tai Sui covered in dirt!
Russell stepped hard, and a Bagua formation lit up under his feet, instantly trapping the Tai Sui.
"Nine Palace Order, Fire!"
He loosened his left fist and something floated out from his hand. It was the relic that Ikkyu had given him before.
The relic merged with the huge Tai Sui, surrounded by nameless flames, constantly rotating and emitting a strange fragrance.
The old mayor standing by was watching with his eyes blurred. Is this the legendary immortal refining elixir
Wisp after wisp of fragrance continued to come and slowly penetrated into his body. His originally pale hair began to turn dark.
His hunched body, which had been bent over working in the fields for many years, now became straight.
He couldn't help but tremble all over, and slowly fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Is this the chance
He finally realized what the ancients said: When one person achieves enlightenment, the whole family will benefit!
When an immortal is refining elixir, he can gain immense blessings by just smelling it nearby. This is the blessing accumulated over countless lifetimes!
I don’t know how much time passed.
Russell slowly withdrew his hand, and a ray of light was caught in his hand.
The naked relic Gu is done!
