My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 658 Praying for Rain

At the summit of Qingqiu Mountain stands the Qingqiu Palace.

The main hall was completely empty.

The tables, chairs, and benches were all cleared out, and even the decorative vases and calligraphy scrolls disappeared.

The portrait of the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor on the wall was torn down, and the altar below was replaced by a gray-white high-backed stone chair.

Lan Zhang propped his face up with his left hand, holding a white jade scroll inlaid with gold thread in his right hand, and lazily read it with drooping eyelids.

"The Exquisite Golden Chapter?"

"Is it because of this that you chose Qingqiu Mountain, this barren hunting ground?"

"You weren't fooled by that damned Green Insect God, were you?"

From the shadows deep within the main hall, countless eyes suddenly appeared.

A dark shadow, like a ribbon, rose from the ground and appeared beside Lan Zhang's right ear.

Its fist was large and its eyes were bloodshot as it scrutinized the jade slip and gold seal in Lan Zhang's hand.

"For such a flawed secret technique, is it worth you giving up the divine blood light bestowed by the Netherworld?" The Blind Child's eyes revealed incomprehension.

"That's a good thing that can refine your bloodline and suppress your madness."

"Lan Zhang, have you gone mad?!" The Blind Child looked at Lan Zhang with surprise, sizing him up.

"Then swallow me," Lan Zhang said with a smile, but his eyes remained fixed on the jade slip and the golden seal.

"Don't think I wouldn't dare!" The blind boy's big eyes widened, his expression unfriendly.

“Yes, yes, yes… Of course you dare.” Lan Zhang’s eyes darted around, and he glanced at Wu Mu with a chuckle before continuing to peruse the jade slip.

"You're bluffing me, aren't you!" The Blind Boy was a little uneasy because of Lan Zhang's attitude. He hesitated for a while, but still didn't dare to move.

I finally made it to Baiyitian, but Lan Zhang has been hiding in Qingqiu Mountain all day without showing his face. Is this "Exquisite Golden Chapter" really that good?

They didn't even want the hairless monkeys that offered themselves up. The vast sea of ​​blood devoured even less of the primordial spirits than the red-eyed water apes that came to join the fun.

"Without enough primordial spirit, and without the blood light bestowed by the Netherworld for tempering, your Blood God Children will rebel sooner or later!"

"When you go mad or become stupid, and I devour your essence, don't harbor any resentment or bitterness." After a long while, the Blind Child finally dared not make a move, only speaking resentfully.

"Of course." Lan Zhang put away the jade slip and glanced at the blind boy with a grin.

"Get ready, we should be going." He stood up, stretched, and said casually.

"Weren't you supposed to be saving that Green Worm God? Are you leaving already?" Wu Mu asked, puzzled.

"I am a demon from outer space, after all. It's only natural for me to be treacherous, cunning, and treacherous," Lan Zhang said, spreading his hands with a broad smile.

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Several black, shadowy ribbons swirled around Lan Zhang, their large and small eyes fixed on him.

"I have a feeling you're hiding something from me?" Wu Mu asked solemnly.

"how is this possible?"

“Ever since we came to Baiyitian, we’ve been inseparable. What could I possibly hide from you?” Lan Zhang said with a grin.

"But why do I always feel like I've lost something?" Hundreds of eyes were filled with doubt.

"It's definitely because of the change in environment! It's definitely because of the change in environment!" Lan Zhang said with a serious tone, "The Netherworld Heaven is bathed in bloody light, and everyone's mind is filled with the sounds of killing every day. The Hundred Intent Heaven is too quiet, you're just not used to it."

“It is indeed a bit too quiet. The people living here can’t even hear the sounds of heaven and earth? Tsk tsk…” The blind boy looked at him with pity: “That’s really pitiful.”

Lan Zhang: "..."

The cacophony of heaven and earth, which constantly spurred the battles between the demons of the Underworld, has somehow become a good thing?!

Lan Zhang's eyes widened in shock.

Having been a spirit for over a hundred years, and then defecting to the Underworld to become a member of the Underworld Clan, Lan Zhang felt he was already abnormal enough, constantly plotting, betraying, and killing.

But compared to these native demons of the Underworld...

Tsk!

……

Peach Blossom Valley, inside a square stone house.

A black-striped rat, half the height of a person, was fixed in mid-air by the air-sealing device.

Chen Mu circled the large brown rat with three glossy black stripes on its back twice, then pressed his hand against the rat's forehead.

puff!

A colorless flame suddenly rose from his palm.

The black-striped mouse, which had been constantly moving its eyes, suddenly stopped breathing, as if the power had been cut off.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work."

Chen Mu shook his head and sighed.

He caught this rat last night; it was also under the influence of sleepwalking magic.

He tried to practice using the Seven Emotions Flame to remove the evil spell, but unfortunately, just like the previous dozens of times, the Seven Emotions Flame could remove the evil spell, but the spirit was also burned to death.

"A Qi Refiner undergoing a spiritual transformation is definitely stronger than these small beasts. Are they more resistant to burning?"

Let's try catching a Qi Refining cultivator who's fallen for the trick?

Chen Mu slowly shook his head.

"We can only rely on the methods of the Thousand Machines Sect."

Over the past ten days, the number of people falling victim to the sleepwalking sorcery in Peach Blossom Valley has been increasing. The number of surviving disciples of the Hundred Illusions Sect was already small, and now, with repeated attacks, their numbers have dwindled to less than a hundred.

Taoshan Temple was also severely damaged, and the Inspection Institute was the first to be hit.

With a wave of his hand, Chen Mu tossed the black-striped rat into the Five Ghosts Bag and stood by the window looking towards Peach Blossom Valley.

The valley was completely silent, with only occasional suppressed roars of things being smashed or broken.

Despite it being a bright and sunny day, the valley seemed to be shrouded in an invisible shadow.

……

Three more days passed, and things finally took a turn for the better.

Deep within Peach Blossom Valley, a wide stone staircase leads straight to the mountaintop. The small and elegant Peach Mountain Temple appears and disappears on the summit.

The valley below the mountain seemed to be blessed by the power of the "Thousand-Mile Courtyard Law". More than a thousand Qi cultivators who were summoned here early in the morning stood two or three meters apart from each other, but there was no crowding at all.

No one was in the mood for idle chatter; their expressions were all numb. The vast, secluded valley was eerily quiet and oppressive.

Not long after, a flash of azure light appeared, and a middle-aged man dressed in a gray undergarment and black armor appeared in mid-air. The newcomer was none other than Yan Ming, an elder of the Thousand Machines Sect.

"The evil magic that was rampant before has been identified as the Green Worm Gu." His voice wasn't loud, but with the aid of a secret technique, everyone could hear him exceptionally clearly.

"The poisonous Gu is so small that it is difficult to detect, and it has been spread throughout Haizhou by extraterrestrial demons."

"To completely eradicate this poison, all of you must work together with one heart and one mind, and together with me cast the Demon-Sealing Spell, offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for rain, and ward off disaster and remove the poison."

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion erupted in the valley.

The previously numb and indifferent crowd was suddenly filled with surprise and delight.

Chen Mu, who was mixed in with the crowd, also breathed a long sigh of relief.

"The Thousand Machines Sect has finally found a way to deal with this."

He had the Seven Emotions of Delusions to save his life, but others didn't.

If too many people are infected while he remains unharmed, it will surely attract others to investigate.

"Sealing spell, activate!" Yan Ming uttered softly in mid-air, simultaneously raising his hand to release a fiery red command flag as tall as a person.

Having already practiced before, everyone immediately activated the Demon-Sealing Spell.

The emerald green energy surged into the sky and quickly merged into the fiery red flag.

An unseen force burst forth, and a dark cloud instantly appeared in the sky above Taoshan Temple.

brush brush...

Almost instantly, a light drizzle began to fall.

Squeak!

A series of short cicada chirps suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

Everyone immediately felt a lightness in their bodies, as if they had just changed out of their heavy winter clothes in spring, feeling incredibly relaxed.

"I never imagined that these people, who seemed completely unharmed, had already been infected by this strange poisonous Gu!" Chen Mu glanced at everyone's reactions and couldn't help but feel astonished.

"Thanks to the Thousand Machines Sect for intervening, otherwise everyone else would have been hit and I would have been the only one unharmed. I would definitely have been in trouble then!" He said with lingering fear.

The rain-praying ceremony lasted all day, with a light drizzle emanating from Taoshan Temple and spreading in all directions.

According to Elder Yanming, this rain-praying ceremony was not only attended by Taoshan Temple.

Near the ninety-nine sects of Haizhou, elders of the Qianji sect presided over the same ceremony.

Together, they cast a spell to dispel the Green Worm Gu, and the fine rain quickly spread in all directions, slowly covering the entire Haizhou.

……

Two days later.

The Taoist soldiers and Qi cultivators within Taoshan Temple, organized according to their respective divisions and banners, gathered together at the entrance of Peach Blossom Valley.

Hu Buwei, who had not appeared for a long time, showed up in the Hundred Illusions Department, followed by seventy or eighty disciples of the Hundred Illusions Sect.

"The Thousand Machines Sect is finally ready to make its move." Chen Mu, who was mixed in with the crowd, breathed a sigh of relief.

The demons have been rampaging for nearly two months. If we don't take action soon, Haizhou may become a paradise for demons from outer space.

only……

"Shouldn't the task of exterminating demons be the soldiers' job?"

"What's with me, a mere auxiliary soldier and butcher, being forced to charge along with them?!" Chen Mu stared at Hai Ming, the Thousand Machine Sect elder at the very front of the column, his heart sinking.

He never expected that Haiming would take everyone into the Misty Forest with him.

The previous green worm poison was already terrifying enough; if we were to encounter demons head-on, who knows what kind of evil secret techniques we would run into.

Moreover, the one who occupies Qingqiu Mountain is Lan Zhang, who was extremely crazy back in Mingmotian.

His surging sea of ​​blood contains countless Blood Gods. Can their mere thousand or so Qi Refiners really withstand it?!

Chen Mu was filled with worry.

"Maybe... I should just run!"
