No taboos

Chapter 82: Heartworm

When Lord Qin went out, several of his men were already ready, so they still pretended to be a caravan, harnessing horses and carts. Each cart was very large and heavy, with a very high carriage, covered on all sides with thick, opaque cloth. No one knew what the "goods" were inside.

He left the city gate and chased after the Exorcism Department.

The team of thirteen people reached a deserted section of the road, and Lord Qin casually ordered, "Zeng Si, distribute the Yishi Dan to everyone."

Zeng Si was the man staring at the city gate. He was an alchemy practitioner.

The first few people swallowed the "Yi Shi Dan" without hesitation, but one craftsman hesitated.

When Lord Qin opened the clothes on his chest, everyone saw a hideous evil insect lying quietly under the skin at the position of Lord Qin's heart!

Everyone knows this insect, it is the "Wuhui Gu", also known as the heartworm.

Sacrifice your beloved things and feed them to the insects.

The insect will burrow under the skin and hug the heart. Once things fail, it will instantly bite through the heart and suck the soul!
Planting this vicious poisonous insect in yourself means that you will never regret what you are about to do, and you will never look back!
"There's no need for me, Qin, to tell you how important this matter is."

"Qin has already cut off my own escape route!"

"If it works, you'll be rich for generations. If it doesn't, don't drag your family down with you!"

Only then did Jiang Xiu swallow the "Yi Shi Dan".

Lord Qin came up and opened his mouth, carefully checking it to confirm for himself that he had indeed eaten it.

The team continued to set off. Halfway through, the brother who was exploring the way ahead hurriedly turned back and said, "Sir, they turned and went to the village next door."

Zeng Sidao said, "Ahead is Miaopo Village, but...what are they doing in the village?"

Lord Qin responded to all changes with the same attitude: "Continue to monitor them, the other brothers, stop and rest."

The one who was exploring the way went forward again, but when he reached the outside of the village, he didn't dare to go any closer. He hid behind a small mound, and occasionally poked his head out to take a peek.

The team from the Ministry of Exorcism was very strange. A horse-drawn carriage was parked beside the official road.

The team consisted of more than 30 people, most of whom stayed on the official road to protect the carriage.

Only an old man and a young boy, along with two captains, entered the village, and no one knew where they went.

Xu Yuan did not wake up Fu Jingyu, but asked Mr. Yan to bring someone to accompany him into the village.

Xu Yuan has always known this "Miaopo Village" because Erliang is from Miaopo Village.

Erliang also told Xu Yuan that Miaopo Village was called this name because there was originally a small temple on the slope at the entrance of the village.

It is said that the temple was still there during the generation of Grandpa Erliang.

However, the temple seemed to be worshipping a local god from Jiaozhi. After the Ming Dynasty came, no one worshipped it anymore.

The small temple collapsed decades ago, and in recent years it has been overgrown with weeds, with even the foundation no longer visible.

The village was not big. Not long after Xu Yuan entered the village, he met an old man who was leading a cow and carrying a plow. When he saw the official uniforms of the Exorcism Department on the three Yan brothers, he immediately lowered his head timidly, led the cow and stood by the roadside, asking the "noble man" to go first.

Xu Yuan stepped forward and bowed: "Uncle, I'm looking for Wang Laoshi..."

The old man's eyes were filled with fear: "I don't know what Wang Laoshi is..." Then he quickly whipped the old cow with the reins: "You beast, go away!"

Xu Yuan: “Huh?”

The old man waved his hands repeatedly without turning his head: "I don't know, I don't know anything."

The man and the cow ran away quickly.

Xu Yuan frowned, and Old Yan said with a smile: "The person you are looking for is not simple, as he can make his neighbors fear him like snakes and scorpions."

Neither of them would think that "Wang Laoshi" was a villain who was bringing disaster to the village just because of the old man's attitude.

The villagers had little experience, and many of the cultivation methods of the Seven Great Sects seemed extremely terrifying to them. For example, if Xu Yuan practiced by feeding on food, he could even swallow the old man's cow in one gulp.

In the old man's eyes, isn't it as scary as evil spirits?
Xu Yuan changed his mind and knocked on a door, asking, "Auntie, we are from the Extermination Bureau. May I know which house the village chief is at?"

The old woman pointed to the location of the village chief's house.

After Xu Yuan found him, he put on a tough attitude again: "Old Village Chief, the Extermination Division is looking for Wang Laoshi on official business. No need to ask any questions, lead the way immediately!"

The village chief, who looked to be in his forties or fifties, grimace at the mention of "Wang Laoshi." He dropped to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly, "Sir, it's forbidden to go near the river today. Who dares to go find Wang Laoshi?"

"Why can't we go look for Jin Linhe... He lives by the river?!" Xu Yuan was surprised. When he entered the village, he heard the faint sound of flowing water. There should be a river behind the village.

"Yes!" The village chief raised his hands above his head and pointed in a direction. "She lives over there. You can see her house if you walk five miles."

Xu Yuan did not force the village chief to lead the way.

As soon as they came out, the village chief quickly closed the door and bolted it, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Old Yan frowned and said, "Dare to live by the river... The person you are looking for is really not simple!"

Xu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go over and take a look first."

The four of them followed the direction pointed by the village chief and walked up a dirt ridge. Sure enough, they saw a small river winding a few miles away.

It’s not that the villagers don’t want to stay away from the river, but because there are so many rivers in this place that it is impossible to avoid it.

There is also a river outside Qihetai.

Because it is forbidden to go to the river today, even in the daytime, there is still a layer of hazy black fog covering the river from a distance.

The black fog twisted and struggled from time to time, like a vicious dragon about to soar into the sky.

But there was a house built by the river.

The house was built in a very grand style, with walls painted white. It was 12 feet high and 30 feet wide, a large tiled house with three bays.

The black fog covering the entire river was cut into two sections right here at the house.

Even the river water in this section flows more gently.

Living by the river, yet still able to suppress!
Old Yan was amazed and said, "This person... is very extraordinary!"

For some reason, Xu Yuan thought of the villagers in Wangxiang Village.

Mr. Yan said "this person", but Xu Yuan did not agree. Looking at the situation... it is hard to say whether he can be considered a "person".

Xu Yuan walked down from the earthen ridge: "Let's go take a look first."

The four of them gradually approached the stream. Suddenly, a middle-aged woman came down from the upstream bank. She walked quickly and looked anxious. "You must not cross this path!"

"That house will eat people!"

"It's only grown this big because it's eaten hundreds of people in recent years! Beneath the foundation of the house wall are nothing but bones!"

"The owner of this house has long since become a monster. Think about it, how could she live here otherwise?"

Old Yan's expression became serious. In fact, when he heard that this "Wang Laoshi" lived by the river, he had already had some doubts in his heart.

The middle-aged woman took a few steps closer, her body swaying as she continued quickly, "Come with me, I'll lead you out of here."

"You have been targeted by the evil spirit in the house. You can't leave without a local to lead you!"

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
