After passing through the cannon fodder in the book, my brother turned out to be the male protagonis

An Wensheng pulled a piece of grass from somewhere and put it in his mouth, then asked Jiang Mumu, "Do you think I look like the invincible swordsman who roamed the world in the human storybook?"

Jiang Mumu glanced at him and said, "First, you are a talisman cultivator, and second, you are not invincible."

"Master has returned to the sect and told us to train outside the sect first, but he didn't tell us what the training mission is?" Jiang Mumu wondered if Sui Lin's decision had any deeper meaning. An Wensheng interrupted her thoughts and said, "In that case, let's train while searching for the ball. Maybe in the end we can find the ball before Fang Yiqin."

"Why are you arguing with Junior Brother Fang about this?" Jiang Mumu couldn't help but hold her forehead, not understanding what An Wensheng was thinking about all day.

Seeing smoke from cooking in the distance, Jiang Mumu suggested, "There's a village ahead. Let's go in and get some water."

An Wensheng looked towards the village and thought of the book he had read in the past two days. He said with an idea: "Maybe when we first enter, the villagers will see that we are monks and say that there is an evil spirit invading and they need our help to eliminate it."

Jiang Mumu sighed helplessly and said, "How can there be such a coincidence? The storybook is all made up."

"I kneel down before you, please ask the Immortal Lord to save our village." The village chief was about to kneel down before the two men. Jiang Mumu hurriedly supported the village chief, but unexpectedly, the villagers behind him also began to kneel on the ground one after another. An Wensheng helped one up and the next knelt down, shouting to him anxiously: "We promised! Stop kneeling!"

Until they walked into the mountains, the two of them still didn't realize what was happening.

An Wensheng nudged Jiang Mumu's arm with his elbow and asked, "Why are we here?"

Jiang Mumu rolled her eyes and said, "Because your bad luck has come true. Why didn't I notice that your mouth was like a blessing when we were at Tianqing Peak before?"

"That's what I read in the storybooks. Wherever the protagonists go, there are always problems waiting for them to solve." An Wensheng felt a little aggrieved.

Jiang Mumu was a little annoyed and didn't want to respond to An Wensheng.

Who knew An Wensheng would come up with another guess from nowhere? He widened his eyes and leaned over to Jiang Mumu and said, "Do you think we are the protagonists of this world? Or is this world just a giant storybook?"

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and many thunder clouds gathered together, and a bolt of lightning just brushed the corner of An Wensheng's clothes, and then quickly dispersed.

Jiang Mumu looked at him in shock and took a step back.

This was the first time An Wensheng encountered such a situation, and he asked uncertainly, "Is this—Did the Heavenly Dao hear what I said?"

After receiving the affirmation from the person opposite, An Wensheng couldn't help but complain: "The Heavenly Dao must be sick. I cursed it eight hundred times and it didn't strike me. Now it's talking nonsense-"

Before An Wensheng could say anything, Jiang Mumu cast a silence spell on him and warned him, "Be careful with your words!"

An Wensheng quickly gestured "I understand" with his hands, begging Jiang Mumu to lift the silencing spell.

Jiang Mumu took out a scroll-shaped magic weapon and injected spiritual power into it. The terrain and spiritual power fluctuations within a radius of 500 miles were all displayed on the scroll.

They saw that the top of the mountain on the scroll was shrouded in dark fog, and the village where they had just stayed was also filled with gray-black air.

The two looked at each other, vaguely sensing that something was wrong with the village. Jiang Mumu summoned his natal sword, held it in his hand, lowered his eyes and whispered, "Be careful, don't let me save you."

An Wensheng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Don't worry, your senior brother has never made any mistakes."

After saying that, the two of them took out the shrinking talisman at the same time and reached the top of the mountain as quickly as possible. As soon as they stood firm, they saw a huge demon tree with lush branches in front of them. The vines hanging from the tree gathered on the ground, and the ends of the vines were inserted into the chests of the corpses lying around. Every corpse had been sucked dry by the demon tree before it had a chance to rot.

The clothes of the corpses were very similar to those of the people in the village, all of them were young and middle-aged. Remembering that the villagers they had just met were all elderly people, a guess emerged in their minds.

The demon tree sensed the breath of living people, and the vines on the ground squirmed and attacked them. Jiang Mumu cut them off with a sword. The vines stopped moving for a moment, and the limbs that were cut off on the ground seemed to have consciousness and began to attack them.

The two of them quickly jumped away to avoid the attack. An Wensheng joked, "You didn't expect your attack to be useless, did you? Stay hidden and wait for Senior Brother to show you his skills."

Although Jiang Mumu was speechless to An Wensheng, she knew exactly what he was going to do and silently took a few steps back.

An Wensheng caught a glimpse of Jiang Mumu retreating to a distance where she would not be hurt. He then conjured up four talismans out of thin air and stuck them to the tree trunk, corresponding to the four directions of east, south, west and north. He shouted "Rise" angrily, and instantly a dark blue flame spread rapidly from the place where the talismans were stuck, covering An Wensheng as well.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Mumu became anxious and shouted: "An Wensheng! What are you doing!"

The man's voice came from the sea of ​​fire, comforting him, "The talisman I've just developed will only work against demons. It's harmless to mortals and monks."

Even after hearing what he said, Jiang Mumu's tightly furrowed brows did not relax. The flames had burned for almost half an incense stick, and her eyes were fixed on the sea of ​​fire, feeling dry. Finally, she saw An Wensheng walk out of the fire scene. The moment he walked out of the fire scene, the flames behind him instantly went out, revealing ashes all over the ground.

"How about it, your senior brother showed off this skill beautifully!" An Wensheng said proudly, spreading his hands.

Seeing his nonchalant look, Jiang Mumu was so angry that she grabbed his ear and scolded him, "Why didn't you inform me in advance? I was almost scared to death when you were surrounded by flames."

"The only drawback of the newly developed spell is that the user must stand within the effective range, otherwise it will be extinguished immediately." An Wensheng explained to Jiang Mumu in a flattering manner. Suddenly realizing something, his eyes lit up. He stared into her eyes and asked excitedly, "So you were worried about me just now?"

Jiang Mumu was stunned by what he said, and turned around and said, "You are my senior brother, isn't it normal for me to worry about you? If Qiuqiu was in there, I would also worry about her."

An Wensheng's eyebrows drooped instantly, and he muttered, "I don't want you to worry about me just because of my fellow apprentices."

"What are you mumbling about? Come over and take a look at the bodies of these villagers?" Jiang Mumu turned around and shouted.

Hearing Jiang Mumu calling him, he hurried over to her side and asked her with a smile if she had discovered anything.

Jiang Mumu was searching for possible clues on the body and caught a glimpse of something in the arms of a woman nearby. Turning it over, she saw the body of a two-month-old baby. There were no wounds on the child's body, so it seemed that he had suffocated to death in his mother's arms.
