Maybe I shouldn't die.

But now it seems that this is not the case. The black shadow yesterday was not hurting Li Niang. It is even very likely that he was treating her injuries. It was also her fault that she was too excited yesterday and did not check carefully, or she lacked experience.

She didn't show her thoughts. She let go of Li Niang's hand and said to the old woman:

"Li Niang is fine. The dark shadow yesterday did not hurt her."

Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief, as they were glad that Li Niang was not hurt. However, they were still a little frightened when they thought of the shrill scream yesterday.

The man bravely asked Fang Yue.

"I wonder if the immortal has caught up with the black shadow from yesterday."

Fang Yue shook her head and said, "No."

Everyone's faces changed instantly. Even the immortal couldn't get rid of the black shadow. So after the immortal left, what would they do if the black shadow came again?

Fang Yue noticed that the moment she heard her answer, the old woman's face relaxed a little, but soon, her face was full of anxiety like everyone else around her.

Fang Yue made note of this in her mind and then walked out of the room. Since Li Niang was fine, there was no need to stay in this room. With so many people crowded in such a small room, the air could not circulate.

When everyone arrived in the courtyard, Fang Yue asked them:

"Has anything unusual ever happened in your family?"

The immortal asked this, apparently wanting to continue looking for the black shadow. For the sake of their own safety, everyone looked at each other and began racking their brains to recall whether they had encountered anything unusual.

After thinking for a long time, no one could think of anything unusual. Suddenly, a child said:

"If it's not ours, does it count as other families in the village?"

The old woman patted the child on the head:

"The shadow appeared in our house, what does it have to do with other families?"

The child touched his head which was hurt by the beating, feeling a little unconvinced.

"Since he came to our house, it's not impossible that he has been to other people's houses."

The others nodded in agreement, and Fang Yue also said:

"tell me the story."

The child looked like a rooster that had won a battle, with a look all over his face, "You see, the immortal let me tell you, which means my guess is reasonable." When the man patted him impatiently, the child restrained his expression and said:

"It was Liuzi's house. Yesterday, he complained to me that his hens were eaten by something."

Other children also said: "I heard Liuzi say that his chickens were stolen."

Fang Yue was thoughtful. The creature that stole the poultry to eat might be a monster, but it could also be a weasel or a fox. After all, the village relies on the mountains and forests. But apart from this, there are no other clues now, so she should go and take a look first.

So Fang Yue said, "Can you take me to see it?"

The child immediately said, "No problem, I'll lead the way."

Fang Yue followed their family to Liuzi's home, which was also a shabby thatched hut. Liuzi was the only child in the family. His father died not long after Liuzi was born, so he had no brothers or sisters.

The person who opened the door was an old woman, Liuzi's grandmother. After hearing the purpose of their visit, Liuzi's grandmother looked impatient.

"No, no, my chickens were not stolen."

The child immediately cried out in dissatisfaction.

"Liu Zi clearly told me that when he was counting the chickens yesterday morning, one of the hens was missing. There were bloodstains and feathers on the ground. Was it stolen or something?"

Liuzi's grandmother became even more impatient.

"That's just kid talk nonsense. It's not true."

The child was unconvinced and wanted to continue saying something, but was stopped by Fang Yue, who stepped forward and bowed.

"Old man, there is indeed an evil spirit in your yard. Let me take a look."

When Grandma Liuzi heard that there was an evil spirit, her face changed, but she still refused. She looked Fang Yue up and down.

"Where did this quack doctor come from? He is talking nonsense here. There is no evil spirit in my house. I am afraid he is not here to cheat me out of money, right?"

She wanted to continue talking, but the old woman stopped her and whispered in her ear.

"This is an immortal who can fly. We must not offend him."

Although the voice was very small, Fang Yue heard it clearly.

After Grandma Liuzi knew Fang Yue's identity, although she was still a little reluctant, she still gave way. The immortal had great magical powers, and she really didn't dare to offend him.

Fang Yue stepped into Liuzi's house and went straight to the place where poultry were raised. The evil aura came from this direction.

The place might have been cleaned, but Fang Yue could tell at a glance that there was a faint evil spirit left. She took out a tracking talisman, contaminated it with evil spirit, and turned around to say something to everyone,

"I'm going to follow the demon spirit to take a look. Don't follow me."

Then he cast a tracking talisman. The talisman stayed in the air for a while and then floated straight in a certain direction. Fang Yue hurriedly followed.

After Fang Yue left, Grandma Liuzi pulled the old woman to a corner.

"Where did this immortal come from? Why is he looking for monsters?"

"My Li Niang gave birth yesterday, and this immortal passed by and helped her deliver the baby. He was dressed like a traveling doctor, so I thought he was a traveling doctor, so I invited him to stay at my house."

"That's not a problem. Why did you come to my house today?"

"Didn't that gentleman come to nurse Li Niang back to health last night? He was discovered by the immortal. The immortal thought it was a monster that was harming people, and beat him up."

"That adult was injured. Is it serious?"

"How would I know? When I woke up last night, I only saw the figure of the immortal flying away. But when she came back this morning, she said that she didn't find the adult."

"May the Lord of Heaven bless you, that gentleman has done nothing wrong. Even an immortal cannot be unreasonable."

"Who knows? How can we know what the immortal is thinking? I hope this immortal is kind-hearted. What's going on in your family?"

"A chicken was stolen. When I was cleaning the chicken coop, I found some raccoon hair. I guess one of the adult's tribesmen was naughty and stole the chicken."

"That's not necessarily true. That tribe has been living near us for so many years and has never stolen chickens. I guess your chickens were really stolen by yellow rats."

"What you said is indeed possible. What about the evil spirit that the immortal discovered? It's impossible that the yellow rat has become a spirit."

"Ah, who knows? I hope nothing happens to that adult."

Fang Yue was unaware of the conversation that took place in the yard after she left. She followed the tracking talisman and found the same forest as yesterday.

She felt relieved and thought that it might be the monster from yesterday, so she continued to follow the tracking talisman, taking out the talisman in her hand for precaution.

The tracking talisman took her deep into the dense forest. As she went deeper, she saw more and more traces of demonic energy around her. It seemed that there were quite a few demons. The tracking talisman led her to a huge cave and disappeared into the cave. Fang Yue could feel the strong demonic energy in the cave without having to enter it.
