"Damn it! Why did you disturb the sacrifice and disturb the river god? What crime should you take?"

"Where did this evil spirit come from? He deliberately disturbed the river god's sacrifice. Is he trying to cause a flood?"

For a moment, many villagers angrily cursed the young Taoist priest, and some even picked up weapons, ready to kill this evil Taoist priest!

"Shut up!" The young Taoist's eyes became fierce, and his angry voice was like thunder, exploding in the ears of every villager. For a moment, all the villagers shook their bodies and felt like they were about to fall to the ground at any time.

"What river god? It's just a river shrimp that has become a spirit. It's ridiculous that you people have made it into a so-called river god!" the young Taoist scolded.

Afterwards, the young Taoist held up the two children in his arms with one hand, and with the other hand he pinched the Taoist formula. The long sword behind him was immediately unsheathed and shot directly into the river, causing the water to immediately roll.

Less than an incense stick of time had passed, and the young Taoist's sword broke out of the river, with a river shrimp as big as three meters hanging on the sword!

However, at this time, the so-called river god had been casually beheaded by the young Taoist.

After the river shrimp was chopped off, the boiling river water slowly subsided and became calm again.

"This is what you call the river god." The young Taoist looked at the villagers with disdain in his eyes.

He didn't want to care about the shocked and horrified villagers. Since he came down the mountain, he had encountered countless so-called river gods and mountain gods.

At first, he was still in the mood to explain to those innocent villagers, but he found that persuading them kindly would only make them worse. Since they had chosen human sacrifice, a ritual that had long been replaced, there would be no innocent people!

He had only been down the mountain for less than three months, and now his temperament was much colder than when he was in the mountains.

At the beginning, he still had an illusion that nothing would become a spirit forever. As long as he kept killing, he would be able to restore peace to this land sooner or later.

But after he killed batch after batch of monsters, monsters still continued to be born, and he realized that there was something wrong with human nature.

The so-called mountain gods and river gods were originally just small things.

But many people at the bottom of society were living in dire straits during this era of war among nations, and those at the top did not care about their lives at all. In this situation, they had no choice but to believe in the so-called gods in order to seek spiritual comfort.

The worldly affairs of the world are the most interesting things. Even an ordinary piece of rock will become extraordinary after being exposed to the worldly affairs of the world and the baptism of the wishes of ordinary people for a long time.

The mundane world and the will of ordinary people are never pure. Everyone's distractions are different. Of the spirits nurtured by these distractions, only a very small number still maintain their innocence and protect the common people.

Most of them have been corrupted by distracting thoughts and turned into evil spirits! If they are called evil gods, these monsters are not qualified!

For example, the river god believed in by this fishing village is nothing more than a river shrimp that has transformed into a spirit.

For these monsters, the human body is the most effective resource. After all, humans are the leaders of all spirits and have a lot of spirituality.

This river shrimp monster, corrupted by distracting thoughts and eager to become even more powerful, demanded that the villagers sacrifice young boys and girls. However, it was a bit clever and would offer small favors, knowing not to exhaust the resources.

Since the young Taoist came down the mountain, he has encountered countless monsters. He has also seen many more ferocious monsters than this river shrimp monster, which directly slaughtered the entire village.

There are also kinder ones than this river shrimp monster, such as a tiger he once encountered. That tiger chose to protect the villagers and there was no need for sacrifice.

At first, when he didn't know how to deal with it, Zeng Feishu asked his master, and his master told him to just go with the flow.

The young Taoist also killed two kind-hearted monsters at the beginning. He thought that these monsters would cause trouble sooner or later, but the villagers who lost their protection would live an even more miserable life.

Let him ponder, and later he will not act rashly, but will set a limit, which is people-oriented!

In his opinion, as long as there is no human sacrifice, it doesn't matter even if three animals are sacrificed, but as long as there is a human sacrifice, he will take action!

The young Taoist looked at the villagers without saying much. He just glanced coldly at the witch and the village chief, thought about it, and decided not to kill them.

"I will carve a magic circle here, and these disasters will never happen again. So stop believing in evil spirits." The young Taoist stared at the village chief, his tone somewhat cold. "If I see you using living people for sacrifice again, I will destroy you with my own hands."

"What the immortal said is right." The village chief and the witch knelt down hurriedly and said respectfully.

"No need for that." The young Taoist waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to salute.

He then broke open the shell of the river shrimp monster and threw it into the river to set up an exorcism formation, powered by the blood and essence of the boy and girl he had rescued.

"They will lead your village to a better future. It will be good if the troubled times are over." The young Taoist sighed and then left in a somewhat dejected manner.

……

The young Taoist priest was the Yin-Yang Heavenly Master when he was young, and his face looked worried at this moment.

"Countries are at war with each other, people are living in misery, all kinds of evil spirits emerge one after another, how can it end?" sighed the Yin Yang Taoist priest.

As a Taoist descendant, he is currently unable to achieve the state of being indifferent to emotions like his master. He still has flesh and blood and will still get angry when he sees sad things.

But he also knew that he was powerless. Although he seemed powerful to ordinary people, he was still very weak in front of the Seven Kingdoms and could not change anything.

All he could do was to try his best to save the people he saw. Although the number of people he saved was insignificant compared to the entire Jiuzhou, it was good to be able to save one person.

"When will the hundred-year Warring States period end?" Yin Yang Taoist sighed again.

In this era, rituals and music are in decline, and it is more chaotic than any previous era.

There are seven countries standing side by side, and small countries are trying to survive in the cracks.

In this situation, all countries began to believe in gods and picked up things that had been abandoned.

With the whole country praying together, the veins of the earth in the entire Kyushu were awakened, nourishing countless monsters.

He could only kill a small handful of them. For example, in Chu, with the whole country praying, the gods they believed in were extremely powerful. The former Emperor of Heaven and the Supreme God were not something he could contend with.

This is just the Chu area, the same is true for other countries, and Qin is the most severe among them, with the most replicated beliefs, from gods in heaven to gods on earth, and even including ancestors.

Even the top leaders of several countries are like this, so it is conceivable that the lower-class people will naturally believe in some gods and seek protection.

"But these are not your own things after all. Even if they protect you temporarily, they will eventually bring cholera in the future!" Yin Yang Taoist whispered as he looked at the bonfire in front of him.
