Taoist priest, let’s become immortals together!

puff!

Outside the door, a long sword came through the air, like a sharp arrow, piercing through the bandit's chest. A stream of hot blood spurted out from his chest, splashing all over Li Erniu's face!

Everyone looked sideways.

I saw only a man in a blue Taoist robe.

He passed by the afterimage and rushed in in one step.

It was Chen Yuan who hurried down the mountain.

Chen Yuan frowned, his cold eyes sweeping across the faces around him. A nameless fire rose in his heart, smoldering, and he said in a cold voice, "You...are looking for death!"

Li Erniu cried,

"Little Dao Master, you're back."

Just one step away.

He's lost his head.

It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid.

After all, he was just a peasant.

I have never seen such a scene before.

I don't know where the recklessness came from just now, I was not afraid of life or death. Now when I think about it, I feel scared, my body can't help shaking, and my tears and snot can't stop flowing.

"stand up!"

"Uh-huh."

Li Erniu stood up with a determined look in his eyes.

The other bandits immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, their heads banging against the ground, blood oozing from their foreheads, but they didn't care at all.

"Little Taoist, spare my life!"

"We are possessed by evil spirits. Please spare us since we didn't hurt anyone!"

Bang bang bang.

My head was banging against the wall.

It's like he's become a different person.

Chen Yuan remained silent.

He stared at the faces of the five men indifferently, gripped the long sword, and pulled it lightly, piercing the bandit's chest. Blood splattered again, and then his pupils dilated, his throat moved, and he let out an indistinct roar.

finally.

It's black in front of you.

It hit the floor hard.

Total death.

Chen Yuan's face was as cold as frost.

Under the temptation of money, the honest farmer, who was originally a victim, instantly became a victim under the temptation of an idea.

Change of identity.

In just one night.

It's both sad and infuriating.

Then... there was a deep sense of helplessness.

In this strange world, what remains unchanged is... the strange human heart.

Puff puff!

A sword thrust out.

All five bandits died.

"Alas, young Taoist priest." The merchants sighed and walked over to Chen Yuan. The old man in the lead was hunched over and looked much older. He sighed, "These bandits... are endless. They are like weeds growing wildly. Cut them down, and another will sprout up."

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

Yes.

Kill this batch.

It won't be long before a group of bandits gather here to rob and loot. As long as there are people, they will be impossible to get rid of them.

Chen Yuan didn't say much, but gestured in a deep voice,

"Erniu, let's go."

He can't care about that much.

can be done.

Just kill it when you see it.

that is it.

"This money?" Li Erniu asked.

Not that he wanted to.

But if he left his ill-gotten gains here, he would probably quickly gather a group of bandits, who would then commit more murders, and he would feel bad about it.

Although he is poor.

But he has his own integrity.

"You... take it away." Chen Yuan looked at the businessmen beside him.

The merchants looked at each other and waved their hands, "How can this be possible!"

"that's it."

Chen Yuan waved his hand and took Li Erniu with him.

The two left the inn.

Continue towards Xiaoshizi Village.

Inn.

Only a dozen merchants were left.

"Well, pack up the money and let's get out of this troubled place as soon as possible." The leading old man stared at Chen Yuan and the other two as they left, and said in a deep voice, "Take back the ill-gotten gains... and distribute them among the people."

"Shopkeeper, aren't you staying?"

"Stupid!" the old man cursed, "You can put this money in your pocket, but you are not willing to die!"

"oh oh."

Everyone nodded.

Subsequently.

The merchants packed up their gold and silver packages, harnessed the carriages in the backyard of the inn, and hurriedly set out on their journey home before nightfall.

Behind him, flames gradually rose.

Fenglai Inn was buried in a fire.

Maybe it won't be long.

An inn will be built here.

……

As night fell, the dense forest was pitch black, and snakes, insects, rats and ants scurried out from all directions. Chen Yuan and his companions, who had been traveling all night, simply lit a fire, took out the dry food they had found in the inn, and ate it simply.

Two fast horses were tied to the tree beside him.

It was brought from a bandit's den.

With a fast horse.

The two of them traveled much faster. According to Li Erniu's judgment, it would only take a few hours for them to reach Xiaoshizi Village.

It is also the village closest to Qingfeng Town.

Solve the weirdness of Xiaoshizi Village.

He can then set off for Qingfeng Town, where Senior Brother Wuchen and his sister live. After giving them some silver for their living needs, he will continue to learn more about this strange world and find a way to get rid of the Blood Curse Sutra once and for all.

The goal is clear.

"Tell me about...the specific situation in the village."

"Yeah," Li Erniu said quickly as he munched on his rations. "There are over a hundred households in our Xiaoshizi Village. About ten days ago, babies started disappearing. And around the same time, some people heard eerie laughter."

"But the brave young man rushed out with a shovel, but there was not a single person in sight!"

"Later, babies would mysteriously disappear every night, causing panic among the people. We invited many Taoist priests, but children continued to go missing. The village chief had no choice but to send five people, including me, out to find a Taoist master to help."

Then he sighed,

"Alas, if this problem is not resolved, the entire village will be wiped out!"

Chen Yuan concentrated.

Is it an evil spirit that feeds on babies?

For now, this sounds like the most likely possibility.

But the specific situation.

We will have to wait until we get to Xiaoshizi Village to find out more.

"But now it's all good. When you, Little Taoist Priest, come over, you will definitely be able to help us solve the problem." Li Erniu looked confident and stared at Chen Yuan blankly. "You can even burn the evil spirits in the candlelight to death in an instant. The evil spirits in the village will definitely not be able to defeat you!"

Chen Yuan remained silent.

The cheeks reflected the halo of matches.

"Rest and get up early tomorrow morning."

Li Erniu nodded heavily, "Yeah."

……

The next morning.

After a night without incident, the two men opened their eyes, looked at the extinguished fire, and then stood up, packed their luggage, and mounted their horses.

"gone."

"drive!"

The two men rode their horses wildly in the mountains and forests.

After about two hours, the two horses finally emerged from the mountains and forests, and a relatively flat official road paved with sand and gravel came into view.

"Little Taoist priest, if we walk this way for another half an hour, we will reach Xiaoshizi Village."

Chen Yuan nodded, spurred his horse and galloped away again.

For a while.

The outline of a village finally emerged.

Looking at the village that gradually expanded in front of him, Chen Yuan understood why it was called Xiaoshizi Village. Because in front of the village, there were stones of varying shapes, but basically only half a person's height, standing in front of the village.

"arrive!"

Li Erniu pulled the reins awkwardly.

The horse raised its front hooves high, and Li Erniu hurriedly lay on the horse's back, holding the reins tightly with both hands. His body shook violently, but fortunately he was quick-eyed and quick-handed, so he did not fall off the horse.

But he was still scared to death and broke out in a cold sweat.

His body.

Riding a horse was still too difficult for him.

Suddenly, three strong figures jumped out from behind the bushes in front of the village. They held wooden spears and looked nervous. When they saw the newcomers, they shouted in joy,

"Erniu! You actually came back alive~"
