Creation of the Universe

In the middle of the night, Shen Zhan was actually facing his master with a sword.

Tang Muqing couldn't understand what was happening in front of her for a moment. She tried her best to control her nervousness and watched silently from the dark.

At this time, Shen Zhan said: "Stop making trouble, I won't let you leave the house tonight."

Li Youcai seemed to be possessed by a demon, staring at Shen Zhan with a pair of cruel eyes, but he did not speak.

He seemed to have no idea that Shen Zhan was the guest he had invited to stay at his home. The corner of his mouth was slightly curved, as if he was mocking something.

The strangest thing is that when I met him before, I couldn't tell that he had any cultivation at all, not even a bit of spiritual power.

But at this moment, his whole body was surrounded by spiritual power, and his cultivation was at least at the peak of the martial arts realm. Although he was holding only an axe in his hand, he had an extraordinary aura and looked completely different.

In an instant, Li Youcai's figure was like a ghost. After disappearing briefly, he suddenly appeared in front of Shen Zhan, and chopped out with the rusty axe in his hand.

The speed was so fast that Tang Muqing was shocked.

Fortunately, the person standing opposite the knife was Shen Zhan, who simply leaned back and easily avoided the attack.

Li Youcai did not bother to argue and took the opportunity to run towards the courtyard gate. He was holding a knife in his hand and grinning grimly. Anyone would be scared to death if they ran into such a person in the middle of the night.

Tang Muqing suddenly connected Li Youcai at this moment with the ghosts that the villagers had been talking about during the day. Could it be that he was really related to Li Youcai?

After a moment of distraction, he looked forward again and saw Shen Zhan already chasing Li Youcai with a sword in hand. Because Li Youcai was too dangerous now, if he ran into any villagers on the way, or even rushed directly into a villager's house, it could lead to very terrible consequences.

Tang Muqing also wanted to go, but she was really at a loss on her own. After thinking for a while, she decided to go back and call her senior sister.

Xia Wenxiu finally figured out what was going on from Tang Muqing's panicked words, but when the two were about to go out to see what was going on, they ran into Shen Zhan who was walking back. The latter looked natural, as if he had just come back from a walk in the middle of the night.

"Mr. Shen..."

"Junior Sister said that Li Youcai..."

Shen Zhan glanced at the two of them and said casually, "I've tied Li Youcai up under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. Go watch him and don't let him hurt anyone. I'm going to find out why Li Youcai is like this."

"What are you doing? Is there an accident?"

Dong Ping walked over with sleepy eyes, not fully understanding the situation, but Tang Muqing and Xia Wenxiu didn't know much more than he did.

"Is this Li Youcai possessed by some evil spirit? Could it be that all the strange things happening in the village are directly related to him?"

Xia Wenxiu couldn't wait to know the truth, so she asked Shen Zhan in person.

Shen Zhan told her, "I'll have to wait until I investigate carefully to find out what exactly happened to Li Youcai, but his current actions weren't his original intention. You can just assume he's been possessed by an evil spirit."

Without further ado, the four of them immediately split up and acted separately.

Xia Wenxiu and Dong Ping rushed to the village entrance, while Tang Muqing stayed and followed Shen Zhan to investigate the Li family.

Shen Zhan believed that the fundamental reason for Li Youcai's sudden change in temperament and his sudden cultivation could be found in a corner of his home.

Just as he had inexplicably sensed something strange when he first entered the Li family's home, all signs indicated that there must be something wrong with this family, but no one had noticed it before they arrived.

Tang Muqing followed Shen Zhan cautiously, saying tremblingly, "What should we do if we really encounter something scary?"

Shen Zhan smiled faintly and said, "The key to entering Wuya Daoyuan is to remain calm and composed. How could you have forgotten this?"

"I dare not forget what I learned in the Taoist Academy, but I just can't control the fear in my heart. I have been timid since I was a child..."

"No, I think you're braver than many people. That day, for the safety of your companions, you resolutely chose to lure the Wind Beast away alone. Were you afraid at that time?"

Tang Muqing shook her head. "At that time, I was only thinking about helping my senior brothers and sisters escape from their predicament. I didn't have time to feel scared at all. But after this incident, I was extremely scared. Every time I think about it, I still feel a lingering fear."

Her answer was frank and sincere, which made Shen Zhan realize that there was something precious about this girl.

It's funny that most people in the world try their best to hide their inner thoughts, but Tang Muqing, a little girl, is so frank that it makes them feel ashamed.

At this time, the two of them walked into Li Youcai's bedroom. The layout here was relatively simple, but there was a strange atmosphere. Tang Muqing felt that after entering the room, she seemed to suddenly become cold.

She couldn't help but shiver.

"so cold!"

Shen Zhan restrained his relaxed expression and became serious.

He also felt the chill in the room, but at the same time he sensed more clearly that it was filled with a spiritual power that could not be underestimated, and it was the same aura as the one on Li Youcai.

"Miss Qing, if anything happens later, please retreat outside the house immediately. No matter what noise you hear, don't come in."

Shen Zhan's sudden words made Tang Muqing, who was already worried, feel even more stressed. But she hadn't discovered anything yet and didn't know where the danger would come from.

At that moment, Tang Muqing didn't dare to ask any more questions. She knew that Shen Zhan knew what he was doing and that if she stayed, she might just be a hindrance. It would be better for her to be obedient.

As soon as Shen Zhan finished speaking, a thin mist began to appear in the room, obscuring the view in front of him. Everything became more and more weird.

Shen Zhan turned his gaze to the screen in front of him. Behind the screen was Li Youcai's bed. Perhaps that was the root of the problem.

So he walked forward quickly, walked around the screen, and saw this ordinary lacquered wooden carved bed with a quilt and a jade pillow. Apart from that, there was nothing worth noting.

Shen Zhan walked closer and suddenly frowned. The problem was with the jade pillow carved from white marble.

The jade pillow was carved by a skilled craftsman into a baby elephant lying on the ground. It looks naive and lifelike, but if you stare closely at the baby elephant's eyes, you will immediately feel that its look is weird no matter how you look at it, and even makes you feel uncomfortable.

"I see, this thing actually ended up here..."

Shen Zhan muttered to himself.
