Chapter 582(1/2)
After getting all the information, they probably also knew that there wouldn't be any too powerful demons that would stop them halfway. After the group had finished their meal, it was time to separate.
Xu Ziqing, Yun Lie and others met up with the star slaves, and immediately after they looked at each other, they didn't say goodbye too much, and each led a group of followers, turned around and flew away.
Xu Ziqing turned into a ball of blue light and led the way ahead.
After about half a day, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the left and right, and there were more and more mountain peaks, but the towns were almost invisible. It was not until we passed through several extremely steep peaks that we could see a few small and medium-sized villages.
, and after a while, it is a rather quaint small town.
The group of people had already turned away from the clouds when they encountered the first precipitous mountain peak. Instead, they used ordinary wind control techniques to converge their aura and float.
They had just arrived here, and they had already discovered that on the top of a short peak surrounded by several high mountains, stood a rather gorgeous palace, which was incompatible with the surrounding scenery.
But in that hall, there were bursts of demonic energy, which condensed into a layer of black clouds. However, although this black cloud was filled with blood, it only pressed a few feet above the hall, and did not even cross the surrounding peaks, making it difficult for those people to see it.
People coming and going outside the mountain peak will never see the situation here.
Before anyone else could speak, the child Ranran had already lost her voice and said: "The blood is so strong. How many people did those demons kill?"
You Xiawen also frowned, and his usually gentle tone also contained a hint of anger: "The evil methods here must be cruel, otherwise the resentment will be overwhelming! He deserves to be killed!"
The other three male practitioners, Xie Tongde, Que Yuan and Xiang Man, were also very angry.
Although they are not righteous and awe-inspiring and cannot tolerate evil people at all, they do have some understanding of the evil way. As the two female cultivators said, there are probably no evil spirits who can create a black cloud filled with blood.
I have a good conscience.
This kind of demon will only hurt people and kill people if it stays. The sect issued the mission to exterminate all the demons. As expected, there is no injustice at all.
Xu Ziqing's expression was slightly solemn: "It has been stated in the mission that the demon here has reached the realm of Yuanying, but the specific number of people has only been roughly calculated, and it is more than a hundred. In order not to alert the enemy, we will first go to the ancient town to find out more, and we will wait for it later
Let’s take action again at night or when there is a better time.”
Moreover, I don’t know if there is a bigger force behind this sect, so it is always better to be cautious.
Many star disciples are not reckless people. They just lost their anger and are now very cooperative.
So everyone didn't say much, just like Xu Ziqing, they controlled the aura on their bodies and even the divine light in their eyes disappeared.
Looking at them now, they are just a few ordinary mortals. Their temperament looks like young men going out for fun. The star slaves behind them make themselves even more ugly. After covering their auras, they are like guards, without any trace of monks.
A sense of detachment.
Xu Ziqing looked at everyone carefully and nodded: "You should also be careful with your words."
These fellow juniors and juniors all smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xu, please don't worry!"
When he was ready, Xu Ziqing walked forward slowly with his expression unchanged and a smile on his lips. Several men and women gathered around him, admiring the beautiful scenery and talking to each other, as if they were really enjoying the mountains and rivers.
And those star slaves were looking around vigilantly, as if they were on guard for something, pretending to be some skilled warriors. Jia Er even revealed a little bit of aura, making it look like he was close to the foundation building stage - this kind of
It is not uncommon among mortals to invite immortal cultivators with acceptable levels of cultivation to make offerings to protect themselves.
Naturally, Jia Er's current status is just that of a well-qualified casual cultivator who needs a foundation-building pill from his clan for a family that needs those young masters and buddies.
Not far to the right is a village, which looks like it should be home to hundreds of people. But in this village, which should not be too small, there are no sounds of cocks crowing or dogs barking. This is obviously unusual.
However, a group of people playing the role of descendants of aristocratic families traveling for fun would not notice such a trivial matter.
Therefore, Xu Ziqing just ignored it and walked slowly to the entrance of the village.
Everyone looked up and frowned.
This village is so weird!
If we talk about poverty, there are quite a few mud houses in the village, one after another, and there are no thatched houses, shacks, etc. But if we are not poor, then what about the children who poke their heads out from between the mud walls?
Does your complexion turn yellow and your eyebrows darken?
Moreover, the peasant woman washing vegetables and laundry in front of the door also had a gloomy and lifeless face.
Xu Ziqing raised his eyebrows and motioned to a star slave: "Today is late, I'm going to find a farmhouse to stay overnight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Ranran wrinkled her pretty nose and shouted in a somewhat coquettish manner: "Second brother, I don't want to live here if it's so broken!"
Among the three "gentlemen" next to them, except for one who seemed to be in love with another gentle girl, the other two also agreed: "Brother Xu, Sister Tong doesn't want to live here, let's find another place."
Got it!"
Xu Ziqing sighed: "That's fine."
The star slave who had just been signaled immediately took a few steps forward. He was relatively strong, and he grabbed an old man who was about to go back to the house and said: "Old man, I wonder if there is a better place nearby? A certain family.
The young master and young lady can’t get used to this miserable place. Please show me the way and I’ll give you something as a reward!”
The old man was very thin. He took a few puffs from a dry pipe to suppress his panic: "Go southeast for a hundred and twenty miles to Luojia Town. If you go there, you can always find a place to rest."
, it’s much better than this place..."
The strong star slave let him go, dusted his sleeves impatiently, and was about to leave.
The old man said anxiously: "Reward, reward?"
The strong star slave laughed ferociously and kicked the ground, causing a few cracks to appear there: "Hey, you still dare to ask for a reward from me? I can't beat you to death!"
The old man turned pale and did not dare to speak.
Xing Nu did the whole show and hurried over to say a few words to Xu Ziqing.
Xu Ziqing and his party seemed to have done nothing, but when they glanced at the villagers, they all looked a little arrogant. Tong Ranran, in particular, was even more disgusted.
Soon they didn't stop and left quickly in the direction pointed by the old man.
When they had completely left the village behind, Xu Ziqing's expression changed slightly.
In fact, everyone also put their spiritual consciousness out. They heard the words of the villagers behind them, and even their expressions and movements could be "seen" clearly.
It turned out that after they left, a tall and thin man walked out of the door behind the old man and held the old man in his arms.
The timid peasant woman next to her said hesitantly: "Village leader, none of the outsiders who went to the town have come back. You, you just let them go... isn't this killing your life?"
Before the old man said anything, the tall and thin man became unhappy: "It's that foreigner who doesn't give me face! He didn't give me the reward he promised, and he even threatened me. He deserved to be sacrificed to an immortal! Don't be nagging, be careful of the immortal."
Listen, I won’t wait for three years before I use you as a sacrifice!”
When the peasant woman heard this, she lowered her head and continued washing vegetables, not daring to speak.
The old man took another puff from his pipe: "It's a pity for those young masters. If you don't give rewards, you don't have to mention them. These days, who cares about whom? I might have to get beaten, old man, I won't live long, no.
Dare to go against the immortal!"
The slender man also snorted: "You deserve it! If the immortals like those outsiders, our village can save the trouble of holding a festival every three years. Although it is for the immortals to have the power to protect our soil and water, but recently
There are fewer cubs being born, and if the immortal doesn't find one he likes, the harvest will be bad for another two years..."
As these intermittent words passed by, Xu Ziqing and others were all thoughtful.
Those evil demons have indeed taken root here for a long time. Not only are the mortals in the village very accustomed to their existence, they even regard this obviously inappropriate "three-year sacrifice" as normal... It seems that those evil demons will
The people in the village treat them like livestock and pretend to be "immortals" to coax them. There is no intention of "fishing in the lake".
The group of people roughly understood some of the devil's methods and continued walking forward.
They met several more villages on the road, and without exception, they all directed them to the nearby county and town. Moreover, these villagers, like the first village, regarded the devil as a fairy and were used to offering sacrifices.
From the mouths of these villagers, everyone knew some things.
Approximately every three years, these demons will ask many villagers to send their five-year-old children to the town. At that time, the demons will come to investigate, and each village will choose one person to sacrifice.
Take away. If a child in the village is not chosen, an adult man or woman will take his place.
These sacrificers never returned, but every time after the sacrifices were taken away, the devil always showed some means, or made it rain, or adjusted some other weather conditions, so that the villagers worshiped them as gods.
.
Xu Ziqing and others vaguely guessed that the newborn children who were taken away were probably people born with spiritual roots. If no one with spiritual roots was born in a village within three years, the adult men and women who were taken away might be someone else.
An encounter.
It’s just that no matter which one, it’s definitely not a good thing…
However, the villagers did not know much about more information, and they seemed very ignorant.
And if it is said that every time foreigners come, they disappear in the county or town, and the devil also chooses the sacrifices in the county or town, I am afraid that the county or town is the weirdest place.
If you want to know more about the devil, you have to investigate in the county and town.
Soon, the town was in sight.
At this time, everyone was more cautious and did not want to show their feet here.
