We walked back from the temple and encountered the dead turtle again. It pretended to sleep and didn't even dare to say hello to us. When we got back to the door of the inn, the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master were waiting there. They said that Xiaoxue had noticed that the group of people in Shiyuan Village were in danger and rushed there in advance, asking us to follow.
As Grandpa Taizu didn't know whether he had found the Shangyang Sword, he returned to Shangcheng Town first, and I followed Grandpa Qi and Grandpa Ba to release the dead. On the way, they told me that Grandpa Taizu and I had entered the temple after passing through three checkpoints. When the Chief Executive learned about this, he and Judge Cui hurried over. They hid in the temple and heard our conversation with Mei Ruoqi. The Chief Executive immediately came to his senses and immediately ordered Judge Cui to recall Xiaoxue from hell and pardon all our sins.
As for Mei Ruoqi's escape and what we said to the Chief Executive, the two brothers didn't know. But before we returned to the inn, Judge Wu had his Demon Slayer Sword confiscated and was detained in the Niliwan Water Prison. Of course, Feng Chen and Fu Xueman, the two lackeys, were also thrown into prison.
I was surprised to hear that Fu Xueman was not dead. I thought Feng Chen would beat her to death when he caught up with her, but I didn't expect she was still alive. Fuck him, I despise Feng Chen, this bastard, who can't even handle a bitch. He was a hero when he was alive, but a coward after he died.
It was just past two in the morning, the time was just right. The Seventh Master and the Eighth Master were afraid that I had not lit the guiding light when I came, so they personally led me out of the release port and led me all the way to the cave outside Shiyuan Village. The moment I was resurrected, I opened my eyes and saw a bonfire burning on the ground. Xiaoxue was having a great time fighting with the dough machine. It seemed that they were evenly matched and neither of them had the upper hand. Shen Bing and the Shar Pei dog were struggling to resist the attack of the dead skin, and it seemed quite strenuous. The dead Zongzi was lying outside the cave entrance, and I didn't know if it had been dealt with.
"Stop!" Master Ba shouted coldly, making everyone's ears buzz. They all stopped and stepped back.
The dough-making machine turned around and saw that it was the Black and White Impermanence. His face suddenly changed, and he smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, it's the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master who are here. I am sorry for my rudeness."
"Fox-faced Princess, I advise you to stay out of this, otherwise we two brothers will take you back to Niliwan Prison right away!" said the Seventh Master with a sneer.
The dead woman rolled her eyes a few times, revealing a cunning look, and nodded, saying: "Seventh Master and Eighth Master asked me to stay out of it, so I will listen to you two masters. I'm leaving now, bye!" After that, her figure turned into a black gas and disappeared on the hillside in an instant.
But the dead skin was still hanging outside the cave, so the Seventh and Eighth Brothers suddenly flashed outside, one hand on the left and one on the right. They were too fast, and before they knew what was going on, the dead skin screamed, turned into a shriveled black skin and fell to the ground, dead!
I don't know if this thing is male or female. I diverted my attention in the village. I killed one of the dead zongzi, and now the skins of the two dead people are all gone. I got up and ran out, and looked at the dead zongzi lying on the ground. There was a corpse-suppressing talisman on its forehead. I asked and found out that it was drawn by Shen Bing. This made me look at her with new eyes. I didn't expect her to be more capable. Later I found out that it was not the case. This girl had an authentic corpse-suppressing talisman drawn by Ma Yunxi hidden at the bottom of her bag. She turned it out when she was rummaging in her bag, and the dead zongzi happened to catch up with it, so it came in handy.
Shen Bing and Shar Pei pulled me aside in surprise and asked about my trip to the underworld. I briefly told them a few words, but of course I didn't mention the contents of my trip to the temple and my conversation with the Chief Executive, lest it spread among the people and I be convicted again.
Xiaoxue looked at the Seventh and Eighth Masters and snorted coldly: "Since you are all here, why don't you capture Fox-masked Princess?" Her words were full of blame.
The Eighth Master's face darkened, and he was a little unhappy. The Seventh Master smiled and said, "You know, she is an old ghost, so we have to give her some face. Besides, she didn't hurt any of you. If she is captured, it will anger the Ghost Fox Society."
"Hmph, what Ghost Fox Society? You're just looking for an excuse!" Xiaoxue said indignantly, and suddenly disappeared.
"Hey, Xiaoxue..." I called out, but she didn't respond and I don't know where she ran off to.
Shen Bing asked curiously: "What is the Ghost Fox Society?"
Qi Ye said, "The Ghost Fox Society is a group of fox demons that have become spirits in the mountains and the ghosts of dead foxes. Hu Mian Ji is a very prestigious leader of the Ghost Fox Society. If we bring him back to the underworld without orders from above, it will probably anger them and cause trouble in the underworld, and we will be in trouble."
So this is what is going on. It turns out there is a Ghost Fox Club. I just don’t know if the fox spirit in Qu Mo’s body is a member.
Seeing that we were no longer in danger, the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master said goodbye and returned to the underworld. I looked back at Gu Xiaoning, who was half lying in the cave. She looked pretty good. But the Shar Pei dog was injured and fighting the dead human skin. Now he was lying on the ground and couldn't move. I helped him lie down in the cave and asked Shen Bing how she dealt with the dead Zongzi.
She told me that she would learn from me how to sow discord, so that the dead skin would remember the hatred of his companions being killed, and fight with the dead zongzi. She took the opportunity to stick this talisman on the dead zongzi's spiritual point, otherwise even if Xiaoxue involved the dough paste machine, the two of them would not be able to defeat the dead zongzi and the dead skin.
I couldn't help but wonder, how did the dough-making machine collude with the dead Zongzi? It was supposed to be a jade-refining blood beast made by Gu Qinglin, and what connection did it have with a painted-lip zombie? With this question in mind, I bit my finger and sealed the seven orifices and the spiritual orifice with blood. When I looked at the zombie outside, it turned into an ordinary corpse. The face looked exactly like that of the old man Miao. It seemed that he had died a long time ago, but he had been controlled by the jade-refining magic to confuse the eyes of the world.
In fact, there are too many scenes in the world that may be illusory and unreal, but we cannot see the truth with our naked eyes. If it weren’t for my great grandfather’s reminder, I would still not understand what was going on.
At dawn, the Shar Pei dog slept for half the night, and after I used the Taoist Qi to help, his injuries improved greatly and he was able to get up and move freely. Gu Xiaoning's injuries were also relieved day by day because of his pills. After hearing that women were not suitable for practicing the jade refining technique, she told me sadly that she actually knew it a long time ago because Uncle San had warned her that she was strong-willed and must practice. Uncle San was also racking his brains to find a way to solve this problem.
I sighed and said, "Even if we get the jade refining technique, it will be of no use to us. Let's take the old man Miao's body back to the village, tell Miao Fengyi the truth, and let her bury her father's body. Let's go to Death Valley now."
I carried the body back to the village and found a group of people gathered outside Gu Qinglin's door. Among them, I saw Miao Fengyi kneeling on the steps, crying like a tearful person. I had an idea and asked everyone to go over there and take a look.
