No taboos

Chapter 98: Do Not Mention His Name (Part )
The old hermit took a sip from the water gourd and continued, "The snake has nine bodies in total. No one knows where these nine bodies are hidden in the mountains. Even if you kill one, you still have to be careful. It may suddenly jump out from the soil or grass at any time and bite you.

This monster's body is as hard as an iron rod. It doesn't pursue people, only souls. If you are targeted by it, even if you escape from the mountain, it can still sneak into your dreams and eat your soul bit by bit!"

"The last Haikou Toad..."

Xu Yuan's heart moved, and he finally talked about Haikou Toad.

"This monster has four mouths and four tongues. One tongue contains 120 ghost soldiers, one tongue is a five-colored poisonous mist, one tongue can cut through gold and stone, and one tongue has a bloody eye that will freeze anyone who sees it.

And as long as four mouths speak the same words, it will surely come true!"

Xu Yuan had a guess in his mind as to why the old fox wanted to use him to kill the Haikou Toad.

Finally, Bai Laoyan said: "As for their flaws...

The Locust Lady had a fight with another monster in the mountains years ago, and she has an old wound in this area of her body that has never healed."

Bai Laoyan drew a rough outline of a locust lady on the ground to mark her location.

"Because the Ghost Temple Statue was brutally slaughtered by the Mountain and River Division, the boys and girls under its command are extremely afraid of the Imperial Dynasty's talisman."

"As for the other two, I don't know what flaws they have."

Xu Yuan frowned. He couldn't find out the flaws of Haikou Toad, and it would be difficult to conclude the agreement with the old fox.

Xu Yuan put this matter aside and dealt with the problem at hand first.

Mr. Piaodang saw that he had finished his business, so he floated out and said, "I'll find a tree outside to hang it on."

"Wait a minute, sir." Xu Yuan stopped him. "Sir, you know these four monsters are all related to Qiao Ziang. Do you know the inside story of the deal between Qiao Ziang and them?"

Mr. Drifter stopped and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

"Did Qiao Ziang offer blood food to these monsters just to gain a foothold in Qihetai? Did he trade with them for anything from the mountains?"

Mr. Piaodang stuck out his tongue and said, "Everything from the mountains is sold outside through the village. The chief monsters don't want to bother with that."

Xu Yuan frowned: "Where's the cocoon food?"

"Cocoon food?" Mr. Piaodang looked at Old Bai in confusion.

The latter said: "There is no cocoon food in this mountain."

Xu Yuan and the other three were stunned: "No cocoon food?"

Mr. Yan even asked, "Do you know about cocoon food?"

Bai Laoyan said angrily: "Of course I know. If I say there is no, then there is definitely no. Don't you believe me?"

Old Yan put his hand into his sleeve and took out a piece of cocoon food.

It is a thing that looks half like a pine nut and half like a cocoon.

"Is this thing not found in Ghost Witch Mountain?"

Old Bai turned away angrily, too lazy to pay any attention.

Mr. Piaodang came over, took a closer look, and shook his head, saying, "I've never seen anything like this in the mountains."

"This..." Old Yan was stunned and speechless.

Xu Yuan also frowned deeply: There is no cocoon food in Guiwu Mountain!
The inference made by the Ministry of Removal of Impurities was wrong.

So what is the purpose of Qiao Ziang, Chen Liangxuan and others setting their sights on Guiwu Mountain?
"Let's capture Lord Qin tomorrow and we can eventually torture him to find out." Xu Yuan said gritting his teeth.

Bai Layan just lay down and fell asleep, not wanting to say another word to these people.

Before leaving, Mr. Piaodang said, "I do know one thing. The person Qiao Ziang is really looking for is the biggest one on Guanghuo Street.

I don't know what you're investigating, but what Qiao Ziang is going to do must be something very serious."

Xu Yuan wanted to ask more, but Mr. Piaodang disappeared in a flash.

It seemed afraid to mention "the biggest one" in the mountains. Xu Yuan wanted to ask Bai Laoyan again, but the old hermit turned over and snored with his back to them.

Elder Yan pulled Xu Yuan back and whispered, "If it's just the biggest one, we in the Extermination Division will know."

Xu Yuan slapped his forehead: The Mountain and River Division of the Canal Yamen couldn't deal with the biggest guy back then, so the canal bypassed Guiwu Mountain. Naturally, they knew that.

This kind of news will naturally be reported to the Department of Elimination of Filth.

"That thing... is the ancestral spirit of the Nguyen Dynasty of Jiaozhi. It fled into Ghost Witch Mountain and merged with the mountain god who had been stripped of his divine power and the last trace of dragon energy of the Nguyen Dynasty. It is an evil creature.

The outside world calls him 'Ruan Tianye'! It is said that..."

Old Yan lowered his voice and leaned close to Xu Yuan's ear. His eyes had turned blood red at some point, his mouth was cracked to his ears, full of sharp fangs, his tongue was sticky and dripping with black saliva, and he bit Xu Yuan's neck.

Click!

Biting Xu Yuan's knife.

Xu Yuan stretched out his hand, and the animal tendon rope slipped out from his sleeve, tightly tying his head into a ball.

Old Yan's eyes were filled with fear, but he was still conscious. He kept signaling Xu Yuan to save him with his hands, but he couldn't control himself and pounced on Xu Yuan again and again, trying to bite him!
Xu Yuan himself is not afraid of the evil spirit's invasion, but he doesn't know how to save Mr. Yan.

After dodging several times, he suddenly shouted, "Senior!"

The old hermit had already sat up, but refused to move.

"Ten big iron pots!" Xu Yuan promised.

The old mountain runner jumped up, grabbed the back of Old Yan's neck, pressed him to the ground, then rummaged through his feather cloak, plucked out a bloody red feather, cut it off, and with a hiss, inserted it into Old Yan's tongue.

Purple-black blood flowed out through the capillaries, and only after it had flowed enough to fill a bowl did it turn red.

But Old Yan's eyes were still bloodshot and his mouth was full of fangs.

Bai Laoyan plucked out three more black feathers and threw them to Xu Yuan: "Put them in the bowl and burn them to ashes!"

Who still carries a bowl?!
Xu Yuan took out a knife, cut off a piece of wood and quickly made a wooden bowl. According to Bai Laoyan's instructions, he burned the feathers into ashes and collected them.

Bai Laoyan took half of the liquid and smeared it on Yan Lao's face, and mixed the other half with Liujicun wine and gave it to Yan Lao to drink.

After a while, Mr. Yan vomited violently, spewing out a bunch of smelly strange insects, rotten meat and the like. He was almost exhausted, but finally he returned to normal.

Bai Laoyan said angrily: "Don't mention that name in the mountains!"

Fu Jingyu helped Elder Yan drink some water, and Xu Yuan's eyes lit up: "Senior can cleanse the infection..."

Bai Laoyan shook his head: "This is a folk remedy from the mountains, and it only works in certain situations."

Xu Yuan couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Old Yan recovered and clasped his fists towards Bai Laoyan and Xu Yuan: "Thank you very much. If it weren't for you two, I would have lost my life inexplicably in this remote mountain area."

Although he could no longer speak, Xu Yuan knew the origin of that person from what Mr. Yan had already said, and could roughly infer some of his abilities.

"Why are you thinking about this?" Xu Yuan shook his head secretly: "We absolutely cannot provoke something that even the Mountain and River Division is helpless against.

Even...if I can't stop Lord Qin and his gang outside Guanghuo Street tomorrow morning and make them go out onto the street, I will turn around and run away without wasting a moment!

There are things that can be done and things that cannot be done.”

Xu Yuan spewed out the "fire in his belly" and completely burned away the dirty blood and filth on the ground to prevent further trouble.

Lu Laodao: "You guys take a rest, I will watch over Lao Yan at night."

Fu Jingyu said: "I'll come in the second half of the night."

Only then did Xu Yuan lie down and sleep peacefully.
