I am a fairy

Chapter 70 The Origin of Mandrill

Taoist He and a group of people arrived in Jingu County the next day. Accompanying them were not only the capable men who had previously helped him to "catch the plague ghost", but also a lot of useful supplies transported on ox carts.

In Danhe's opinion, as long as these people and supplies are brought to Jingu County, the "epidemic ghosts" in Jingu County can be suppressed immediately.

At night, they roosted in a community temple on the main road, which is the temple of the community god or the earth god.

Along the way, everyone was hungry and thirsty.

"There's a well outside."

"There is water in the well, and it is clear."

"Then get some water. We are all thirsty."

"Finally I have something to drink."

"Do you want to cook it?"

"There is no firewood here. We can't tear down the temple. Besides, there is no stove."

"This dilapidated temple has been uninhabited for a long time, nothing has happened."

Before the break, Taoist He spoke to everyone.

"Let's take a good rest here today. I will meet the magistrate of Jingu County tomorrow when I enter the city, and there will be no rest!"

"But no matter how hard or tiring it is, we have done a great good deed and will be rewarded in the future."

"The gods are watching us from the sky, the county magistrate is watching us, and the folks are watching us from below. We must not slack off."

Everyone agreed and promised to do their best when the time came.

But at midnight, there was a strange noise outside, as if someone was rummaging through something outside.

Taoist He was extremely alert and heard it the first time.

"Who?"

He immediately turned over and his ears moved.

"what sound?"

"Could it be that a thief broke in?"

The cattle and carts they brought were still outside. Those supplies were of vital importance and nothing could go wrong.

Although Taoist He stood up with an extremely sharp movement, his movements were extremely light and graceful.

Everyone in the dilapidated temple was snoring loudly. He walked quietly to the door, but without opening it, he looked outside through the crack.

The ox was tied to the well and the cart was unloaded and placed against the wall.

Taoist He could only see the cow's butt through the crack in the door, but could not see the car in the blind spot. However, he vaguely saw a human shadow projected in the courtyard, and the person was rummaging through the supplies in their car.

Taoist He became anxious when he saw this, and quietly woke up the two people nearby and whispered in their ears.

"Don't make any noise. There's a thief outside stealing our things. Let's catch him together and don't let him get away."

Then he looked around, immediately removed the stick that was holding the door, took two deep breaths, and ran out.

"Little thief, get beaten!"

Taoist He roared to boost his morale, then jumped out of the door, ready to capture the "little thief" in one fell swoop.

But when he jumped out and looked outside, He Daoren's voice suddenly went from roaring to complete silence.

That's not a little thief.

A grinning demon was standing in the corner, hunched over under the eaves, with its head almost touching the eaves of the community temple.

At first glance, this demon looked a bit like a ghost on the sacred peak, and was not like the mandrill that had appeared before, with shiny black fur and a strong build.

The only difference is that the black helmet that covered the eyes, ears and nose, making it look like there was only a mouth left, was gone, and the antenna that looked like a ponytail was gone.

The demon was destroying the supplies they brought with them. When he heard Taoist He’s shout, he immediately turned around.

With a grin and a roar, He Daoren instantly collapsed to the ground.

"what!"

The stick in his hand also fell to the ground, rolling far away.

The two people who ran out with Taoist He just broke out of the door and were about to cheer him on, but when they saw the true face of the "little thief", they were so scared that they instantly retreated back.

"Oh my god!"

By the way, he also closed the door.

Taoist He was trying to run back, but when he heard the squeak, he was so angry that he wanted to curse.

But at this moment he couldn't care less, because the demon was already walking towards him, ready to take his life.

Taoist He wanted to stand up, but he was so frightened that his whole body went limp and he couldn't get up no matter how hard he tried. He became a lamb to be slaughtered.

But at this moment, a sound suddenly came from outside the wall.

"Jiululu!"

There was a sound of bells outside, and the demon stopped immediately after hearing it.

The demon was so powerful that he lifted the cart, which could only be pulled by an ox, onto his back and swaggered out of the temple.

There was total silence in the community temple, and everyone watched the demon leave in horror.

After a while.

Then everyone opened the door and carried the frightened Taoist He in.
-
On the second day.

Taoist He did not get up again. He was so shocked and frightened that he fell ill.

But when everyone was preparing to set off for Jingu County, they found that he was showing symptoms of being possessed by a plague ghost, and the people around him fell down one after another.

Most of the people who originally went to catch the plague ghost were now entangled by it and became seriously ill.

When the guards at the city gate of Jingu County saw them in this state, they were unwilling to let them in and directly stopped them outside the city gate.

As a last resort, they had to return to the dilapidated temple.

However, compared to the illness in his body, He Daoren was more frightened and he kept shouting in his sleep.

"Ghost, ghost!"

"There's a ghost."

"The ghost is here to claim my life."

"An evil spirit is coming, just outside the door."

Late at night, Taoist He suddenly opened his eyes and woke up. He seemed to be in better mental condition, but his body was so weak that he couldn't even speak.

He quickly grabbed the little Taoist boy beside him who had not drunk the well water that day and spoke to him.

"Quick, quick."

"Go quickly..."

Taoist boy: "Go find someone quickly?"

Taoist He nodded and then shook his head.

Taoist child: "Go and ask for help?"

Taoist He spoke breathlessly and extremely weakly.

"Tell the Taoist master quickly, this matter is not simple."

"This Jingu County is not only plagued by ghosts, but also has demons that have never been seen before, and there are even people behind the scenes who control the demons."

"The water we drink is problematic. Someone tampered with the well water. They destroyed our supplies because they didn't want us to come to Jingu County to catch the plague."

"The demon was controlled by someone that day. I heard the sound of bells..."

Although his body was exhausted and dehydrated, Taoist He figured out many things in his drowsy and half-asleep state.

When the little Taoist boy heard what Taoist He said, he finally understood why he was the only one among the crowd who was not possessed by the plague ghost, because he was so tired that day that he fell asleep in the corner of the room without even drinking water.

Taoist boy: "Uncle Master, what will you do if I leave?"

Taoist He: "We have a way to cure this plague ghost. We still have some medicine left. A few people will take turns to look after it. The most important thing now is to tell the Taoist master about the situation here."

"This person controlled the demons and caused this plague of ghosts. This is a very serious matter."

"Be careful on the road and make sure to deliver the message."

The Taoist boy quickly sent the news to Xihe County. After the county lord Jia Gui of Xihe County and the Taoist master Lu Yinyang of Yunzhen Dao knew about it, the news finally reached the Divine Peak.

What they didn't expect was that before they arrived, the Yunzhong Temple and the group of witches on the sacred peak had already known the news in advance and had even made preparations.
