"Demon?"
As soon as these words came out, even Wei Zhentu was stunned, "Is it really what Daoist Hongluan said?"
Ruan Jiu nodded heavily, "On the night before ten days ago, on the way back from my master, I suddenly sensed a faint demonic aura in the northwest direction of Shangnan Prefecture. She immediately calculated that it was in the direction of Huayue City, and cut out a sword. Zun said that she was sure she had hit something, but when her consciousness swept over, she found nothing."
Several people showed thoughtful expressions. A small part of the demon clan was suppressed in Sanjie Temple, and the rest were sealed in Dingyao Mountain. Even if the enchantment was unreliable, there were still people guarding outside the enchantment. How could there be monsters? Silently came to the human world, is it a half-headed demon again
Ruan Jiu: "My master returned to the sect, but still felt uneasy, so he asked me to check it out. As a result, when I arrived in Huayue City, I heard that something strange happened in Qinglian Town, so I rushed over."
After that, he glanced at Wei Zhentu resentfully, "I really didn't bother you."
Wei Zhentu also knew it was a misunderstanding at this time, and handed over awkwardly, "I'm sorry."
Ruan Jiu suddenly smiled, his face was slightly red, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm also very happy to meet Daoist Wei."
Wei Zhentu: "..."
"Jingjing, that little wine must like to blow leaves!" Lan Feng leaned against Jing Yue's arms and stared straight at Ruan Wei.
Jing Yue: "Well, you guessed right this time."
Lan Feng immediately glared at Wei Zhentu jealously, "Hmph, it's not too bad to say Ye Ziyanfu, but don't worry about Jingjing, you like Jiji." After a while, he said, "The rascal also likes you, you are better than you. If he has one more, you still win!"
Jing Yue: "You don't need to remind me of this..."
A few people delayed outside the door for a while. The original team of four became five. Su Xiaocui knocked on the door in front. Although the sadness of losing her father had not faded, she was full of confidence.
After all, there are four immortals behind her!
"Is there anyone? I'm Xiao Cui, I'm back, and a few immortals are with me... "
But after half a day, there was no movement inside the door.
Jing Yue was too lazy to wait any longer. With a flick of his sleeves, the door slammed open. He saw many people in the Du family standing behind the door, all with pale faces and staring at them numbly.
Lan Feng hugged Jing Yue in fear, and the latter also felt numb. Seeing that there were all women here, he guessed that the males of the Du family were not in a good condition.
Jing Yue sighed and asked, "Where's your young master?"
No one answered, and everyone still looked at them stagnantly.
Su Xiaocui shrank her neck and whispered, "Master, he has been ill for a long time..."
Jing Yue: "He was also infected by evil?"
Su Xiaocui: "That's not true. The young master seems to be frightened, a little crazy."
She simply brought several immortals to the Young Master's Court, and the rest of the Du family did not respond to it.
When they entered the room, they saw a person lying on the bed, who looked skinny and was not conscious, and murmured, "Yue'er, I'm sorry for you..."
"Excuse me..."
"Forgive us..."
Jing Yue: "Who is Yue'er?"
Su Xiaocui's eyes flickered, and she finally said, "Yes, it was the relationship between the young master before he got married."
It turned out that the young master of the Du family had an absurd incident before he got married. He had already booked a marriage, but he had a good relationship with a girl from a family in the town. The girl was pregnant, and the family came to the Du family to discuss and ask the young master Du. responsible. Master Du originally really liked the girl, so he had trouble with the family for a while, and even eloped with the girl.
"The master and wife were very anxious at that time. They sent someone to look for them, but where could they find someone? Unexpectedly, the young master came back by himself the next day." Su Xiaocui tried her best to recall what happened at the time, "I remember that the young master was very lost. For a while, during that time, we were all trembling with fear. As long as there was a small movement, the young master was shocked and then became furious. It was not until a year later that the young master and the young grandmother got married and had a son in another year. I have completely recovered, but I didn’t expect that now…”
Jing Yue: "Obviously, Young Master Du thinks that the Du family has something to do with that girl. It's best to know what happened the day they eloped?"
Seeing that Young Master Du didn't seem to be able to speak normally, he said to Qin Yan, "The real monarch is more proficient in hypnosis than I am, so I will help you."
Qin Yan nodded slightly, knowing that Young Master Du's restless state was not conducive to hypnosis, which made Jing Yue feel embarrassed.
He stepped forward and pointed at Master Du's forehead. Master Du was immediately frozen, staring blankly at Qin Yanzhi, and Qin Yanzhi's eyes turned completely black, without the whites of his eyes.
After about half a column of incense, Qin Yanzhi walked back to Jingyue, "It's not an elopement. That night, he wanted to die in love with that girl in the Earth Temple in Qinglian Town, and take their unborn child with him. "
Qin Yanzhi said that he saw Young Master Du and the woman meet to drink poisonous wine. Young Master Du hesitated for a moment, but the woman was bleeding from seven orifices. Young Master Du was very frightened and suddenly did not dare to die. He died of anger shortly after seeing the woman. He panicked and wanted to escape home, but he was worried that he would not be clear about the matter. The Earth Temple was thrown into the lake not far from the temple.
"It was night and no one noticed."
"Scum!" Wei Zhentu said angrily: "Forget about the rest, why does he still destroy the corpse?"
Jing Yue asked, "Did the woman's family come to look for it?"
Su Xiaocui hadn't recovered from Qin Yanzhi's words before she said, "I found it, I found it. Later, the master paid hundreds of taels of silver, and her family didn't care about it, saying that she had never given birth to this daughter. "
Jingyue: "If the evil spirit is really transformed by the woman named Yue'er, she can still find out the reason if she wants to take revenge on the Du family, but why does she want to harm other people in the town?"
Lan Feng stuck out his head and said, "She must think that men are not good things!"
Jingyue pressed it back and said, "So many people died here, but there is no evil spirit at all. This is not normal. Since everything points to the girl named Yue'er, let's go to the lake to explore."
Wei Zhentu: "It's just right, the Temple of the Earth you're looking for is also there."
Su Xiaocui: "The Temple of the Earth?"
Jing Yue: "What's wrong?"
Su Xiaocui said: "No, it's just that the Earth Temple in the town was full of incense. After this incident, the townspeople thought that the Earth God did not bless us, so they demolished the Earth Temple in a rage."
Jingyue: "They demolished the Temple of the Earth?"
Su Xiaocui: "Isn't that enough? After all, everyone is still in awe and dare not destroy the statue, but they refuse to enshrine Duke Tudi."
Jing Yue nodded, "That's it."
Ruan Jiu said cautiously, "Can I, can I be together?"
Before Wei Zhentu could speak, Qin Yanzhi said, "Of course."
Wei Zhentu: "..."
So, a few people quickly arrived at the lake, and Jingyue released his divine sense to sweep it away, "There is no evil spirit in the lake, nor is there any demon spirit."
Su Xiaocui: "Isn't that Miss Yue'er?"
Jingyue: "Didn't you say that when the Du family died, it was as if they had been soaked in water? Regardless of whether it was related to Miss Yue'er, the evil was definitely involved with water. Is there any other lake in the town? Or the surrounding rivers and streams? "
Su Xiaocui shook her head, "No, there is only this lake in the town, or the well dug in my own house..."
There are many wells in the town, and it is a bit cumbersome to check. Wei Zhentu said thoughtfully: "Ajing, why don't I check the wells, you can go to the Temple of Earth."
Jingyue: "Alright, I will trouble fellow Daoist Wei."
Qin Yanzhi: "Fellow Daoist Ruan, let's go with fellow Daoist Wei, and it will be faster."
Ruan Jiu responded immediately, and glanced at Qin Yanzhi gratefully.
Wei Zhentu wanted to refuse, but in front of Jingyue, he couldn't make such a twisted gesture...
Since Su Xiaocui wanted to help lead the way, he also left, so only Jingyue and Qin Yanzhi were left by the lake.
The breeze came slowly, ripples spread out on the lake, and Jingyue's ink-like hair moved with the wind. He stared at Qin Yanzhi, "Did you do it on purpose?"
Qin Yanzhi calmly said, "Yes."
Jing Yue was silent, "Let's go, let's go to the Temple of the Earth."
The Earth Temple is located by the lake, less than a mile away from the lake. The temple door is wide open, and the overturned offering table in the temple can be seen in the distance, as well as a place of incense and candle tribute.
Before entering the door, Jingyue noticed the air of integrity coming from the Temple of the Earth. He and Qin Yanzhi looked at each other and walked straight in.
It was dark in the temple, all the windows were tightly closed, Jingyue looked around, and finally landed on the statue of the God of Earth in front of him.
The clay statue is painted with colored lacquer, and an old man with beard and white hair is sitting in the center, holding a cane in one hand and the palm of the other hand facing upwards.
Jingyue looked at the kindness of the statue, and after a while, he hinted Qin Yanzhi with his eyes, and the latter understood, and the two retreated from the temple together.
Just as they turned around, the statue of the land man in the shadow suddenly moved, and the corner of his mouth evoked a wicked smile.
As soon as he left the temple gate, Qin Yanzhi asked, "Aren't you looking for the mother bamboo?"
Jing Yue took out the dead branches given to him by the old man Tianzhu, "The old man Tianzhu said that if there is the smell of the mother bamboo nearby, it will be withered in the spring, but there is no movement now, which means that the mother bamboo is not here."
Qin Yanzhi: "After all, 8,000 years have passed, and this place is not full of spiritual energy. Either the mother bamboo has been intercepted, or it doesn't exist anymore."
Jing Yue: "Forget it, let's help the old man think of a way in the future. It's not difficult to transform the avatar into the main body. What is difficult is that the avatar completely separates from the main body and becomes another self, and finally it can be integrated with the main body."
Qin Yanzhi: "Just like you and me."
Jing Yue said with a smile, "We came out of the altar that day, and I went to Clear Sky Realm to pick up Jiji. The disciples in Xiaohan Yunzong miss you very much, and Song Xiaobao asked you specifically."
Qin Yanzhi remembered the fat goose who was chasing "he and me" and calling the beautiful lady, and his expression was blank for a moment.
Seeing Jingyue jokingly looking at him, he knew that the other party was saying this on purpose, and his heart was amused, "Unfortunately, I have already entered the cave and can't go back, but I will never forget what happened in the Haotian world."
Qin Yanzhi looked at Jingyue seriously while speaking, as if the distant mountains and lakes were not in his eyes, and there was only one person in his eyes.
Originally, he thought that Jingyue would avoid talking about it, but the other party said, "Well, I won't forget it either."
Qin Yanzhi was stunned, "You..."
Jing Yue: "Huh?"
Qin Yanzhi immediately smiled, "No, it's nothing."
He just felt that Jing Yue was getting closer to him, as if everything had changed since the day Jing Yue confessed his secret.
However, they were supposed to be close.
The two stood quietly by the lake. Although they were separated by a distance of one person, the wind kept stirring their sleeve robes. The sleeves were always next to each other, and there was an indescribable ambiguity.
After waiting for a while, Wei Zhentu came from a distance, "Ajing, I checked and there is none."
Jing Yue nodded and transmitted a voice to the other party, "We have clues, we'll talk about it later."
At night, the moon is in the middle of the sky.
Qinglian Town was brightly lit, and no one dared to fall asleep.
It was quiet in the Temple of Earth, and when I entered the temple, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the temple, which made the temple door collide back and forth, making a "dong dong" sound.
The gust of wind quickly swept out, and the lake water also made waves under the wind, making a small whimper.
The ground in the temple suddenly split open from the abdomen, and a slender figure emerged from it. But seeing that she was wearing a red dowry, her body was wet, and water was dripping from the corners of her sleeves and skirts. As she moved, a long string of water stains was left on the ground.
The figure smiled slightly, bowed to the Lord of the Earth, and quickly floated out of the temple gate.
Suddenly, a beam of white light came straight at her, and the figure was caught off guard by the white light pierced through her shoulders, and she immediately let out a scream.
The wind blew more violently, and the shadows of grass and trees wriggled under the pale moonlight. When the figure looked up, she saw four Taoist priests standing in front of her. She said angrily, "It turned out to be you stinky Taoists!"
She knew when the Taoists came to Qinglian Town, but she didn't worry at all, because she knew that these people couldn't find her, but she was blessed by God. Sure enough, several Taoist priests searched all over and couldn't find her. She was a little proud at the time, but she didn't expect that these people were actually trying to lead her to appear.
snort! Just a few Taoist priests, not her opponents at all!
The figure formed claws with five fingers and rushed directly to the shortest-looking Taoist priest. Before she could rush to the front, a person beside the short Taoist threw out Zhang Changjuan and pinned her on the spot. With great strength, she helped her break through the confinement.
Once the figure was able to move, it quickly fled to the temple of the earth.
But when she entered the temple, she saw a Taoist priest standing in front of the statue of the earth god.
Five Taoists? how is this possible? There are only four Taoist priests entering the town today!
No, the Taoist priest in front of me is exactly the same as the one born before, twins
The figure was in shock, but he heard the Taoist say, "Don't think blindly, even with your shallow knowledge, you can't understand it. Don't try to escape, with your poor cultivation, even Daoist Wei can easily step on you. Rubbing on the ground."
Wei Zhentu, who just followed up: ? ?
Qin Yanzhi couldn't help but chuckle, while Ruan Jiu whispered comfortingly, "Friend Wei, you are very talented, and your cultivation will surely catch up with us soon."
Wei Zhentu: "..."
The Taoist priest in front of the statue of the land is of course Jing Yue's clone. When his body moved, he merged with the clone, and several other people surrounded him.
The figure knew that he was invincible, and said angrily: "You have cultivated the authentic Xuanmen, do you want to help Zhou to abuse?!"
Jingyue: "Aren't we here to catch you? Huang Yue'er, are you really evil?"
The figure was not surprised to see the Taoist call out her real name, and said, "Of course I am right! Not only did Du Lang lie to me, but he also destroyed my body and threw me into the lake. Shouldn't he die?"
Jingyue: "But you didn't kill him, you just killed his parents, wife and children who didn't know anything about it, as well as so many innocent people in Qinglian Town."
Huang Yue'er suddenly let out a shrill laugh, "Isn't it cheap to kill him? I just want to make him suffer and make him despair! His parents are blocking my marriage, damn it! That woman took away my position that should have belonged to me, If you give birth to a bad seed again, you should be damned! You men don't have a good thing, you should all be damned!"
When Lan Feng heard this, he was a little scared and immediately said, "Jingjing! Jiji's wise eyes have already seen through everything!"
Jingyue: "..."
Huang Yue'er said again: "If I am not righteous, why does this land protect me!"
Jingyue: "Yeah, I don't understand, why are you protecting her?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yanzhi grabbed with one hand in a very tacit understanding. Huang Yueer felt that her strength was rapidly draining. Then, she saw a golden light being caught from her body, and she herself became much more transparent.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" Jin Guang shouted struggling.
Qin Yanzhi flicked his hand, and Jin Guang turned into a little boy with a tiger's head and a head, and fell on the ground and rolled a few times. When the little boy was released, he was about to burrow into the soil immediately, but found that the ground beneath his feet had frozen into ice at some point.
The little boy pouted, stood up and helped the crooked hat, when he heard Huang Yueer startled: "Who are you?"
Huang Yue'er was shocked. Although she felt a mysterious power in her body, she didn't expect it to be a person.
The little boy raised his head and said, "Sister Yue'er, I'm a land baby!"
Four Taoists & Yifeng: "..."
Huang Yue'er was also stunned, only to realize that although the boy was small, his clothes were exactly the same as those of the earth god statue in the temple, and he was holding a short cane in his hand, just... earth baby?
Little boy: "Sister Yue'er, don't you remember? You used to send me flowers every day."
Huang Yue'er didn't answer, but said, "Are you protecting me?"
It was Jing Yue who answered her: "If you didn't have the will of the land to cover you up, you would have already been wiped out by other Taoist priests because of your evil spirit. How could you allow you to harm so many people?"
It turned out that as soon as he and Qin Yanzhi entered the temple in the daytime, they felt that the Lord of the Earth had given birth to a spirit, but the spirit was wrapped in a mass of evil spirits. The land is covered with its own righteousness, so there is no evil in Qinglian Town.
Of course, it was also because the Taoist priests who came before were not enough, that Huang Yueer was hidden for so long.
The land public life relies on the power of human will, and the power of the will is very troublesome for Taoist cultivators, because once the power of the will is attacked, it will be contaminated with all the causes and effects of the power of the will. Now that Duke Tudi's spiritual consciousness is hidden in the statue, the only way to force the evil out is to destroy the statue. The statue absorbs the power of vows over the years, and neither Jing Yue nor Qin Yanzhi want to do it lightly.
Therefore, they pretended to be unaware and tried to lure evil spirits away from the statue.
Unexpectedly, the land spiritual consciousness also came out with the evil spirits, but it saved them a lot of trouble.
Huang Yue'er said angrily, "You talk nonsense, I'm not evil!"
Jing Yue: "Well, you are right, you are not only evil, you are also a demon."
Ruan Jiu also stepped forward and said: "You have a strong demonic energy, you are neither human nor ghost, say, what are you?"
Huang Yueer's phantom laughed, "I am a demon? Although I am dead, when did I become a demon?"
Ruan Jiu had to argue again, Wei Zhentu said impatiently, "What are you talking about with her, just kill it!"
"Don't, don't destroy!" The land baby shouted: "Sister Yue'er is a good person!"
Wei Zhentu sneered: "She's a good person. Could it be that the other people in Qinglian Town who ask for your protection are all bad people?"
The land baby jumped up and said, "Young Master Du is a bad person. It is Master Du who is sorry for Sister Yue'er and the baby! They agreed to let the baby witness their whole life, but Master Du betrayed Sister Yue'er!"
Wei Zhentu: "Even if Du Gongzi betrays her, he will not die. Huang Yueer committed suicide. Although Du Gongzi is a scum, he did not kill anyone. Besides, why do you avoid talking about other people?"
The land baby twisted: "It's Sister Yue'er who awakened the baby's spiritual consciousness. Sister Yue'er is kind to the baby, and those townspeople also ruined the baby's tribute!"
Jing Yue knew in his heart that there was no one to guide the spiritual knowledge of the land, and now he has gone astray, and said: "You are the condensed will of more than ten generations of people in Qinglian Town. Although Huang Yueer was devout before her death, she was only the last person to help your life. With a little strength, you put all your kindness on her alone and hurt a whole town. If their ancestors knew it, they should regret building a temple for you and shaping your body. You are so kind and revenge, even without us, it won't be long, Your will power will also dissipate, and you will also completely perish."
The land baby panicked, "You, you lied to the baby!"
Huang Yue'er also understood why she was blessed at this time, and quickly said: "Land, you are one of the gods, they don't dare to hurt you at all, they only dare to threaten you, you are up to me to wake up, I am your only one benefactor."
Jing Yue: "Humph! Stubborn!"
He pressed his hands to the ground, and the entire temple was shaken, only to see wisps of black mist emerging from the ground and condensing into vague human figures.
Those people surrounded the land baby, bared their teeth and claws at him, and roared.
"Land, my Chen family has enshrined you for generations, why do you condone evil to kill my Chen family's children and grandchildren?"
"Land, when my ancestors led the townspeople to shape your mud body, paint you with colorful paint, and let you enjoy the incense offerings, why did you want to harm my Qinglian town?"
"Land, I will copy and read the scriptures for you every day. Please keep my grandson safe. Why do you want him to die tragically on the day of marriage?"
"land!"
"land!"
…
They are all Yin spirits who have not yet been reincarnated, and they asked with anger and pain, which made the land baby in a turmoil, "There is no baby! The baby didn't do it on purpose!"
He looked around in confusion, trying to find Huang Yue'er from the resentful spirit, and getting a little comfort and affirmation from sister Yue'er, but when he saw Huang Yue'er opening her mouth to swallow a ghost, the hideous appearance made the land baby feel extremely strange, not at all. In my memory, the young lady who sent him flowers every day.
At that time, when he had just given birth to his spiritual consciousness, he saw a young lady with a bun head holding a small orange flower in the palm of his hand. After that, the young lady came every day and brought flowers to him every time. . At that time, the land baby couldn't appear, but he had already secretly decided to marry this young lady named Yue'er, but she didn't know that Yue'er grew too fast and gradually lost the aesthetics of the land baby, so he didn't want to marry.
But he still hoped that Sister Yue'er would be happy and healthy, and he was very happy to witness the happy event between Sister Yue'er and Du Gongzi.
That night, Sister Yue'er and Du Gongzi knelt in front of him together, making a promise of a lifetime. Later, Sister Yue'er drank a glass of wine and shed a lot of blood. He wanted to save Sister Yue'er, but he couldn't. from the idol.
Sister Yue'er died, Du Gongzi threw Sister Yue'er's corpse into the lake, and at that moment, he felt light on his body and was finally able to escape the bondage of the idol.
It's a pity that it's too late, and Sister Yue'er will never send him flowers again.
He knew that Sister Yue'er committed suicide, which was also a serious crime. If she was reincarnated, she could only be a beast. But Yue'er sister is so good, and he has touched him again, how can he make his benefactor turn into a beast
He didn't know what to do, but he could only use his will to protect the corpse of sister Yue'er, so that her body would not rot and her spirit would not be separated.
Three years passed in this way. Ten days ago, the lake water suddenly changed, and Sister Yue'er climbed up from the lake.
