I am the main soul in the soul banner

Chapter 382
The Taoist stood on the hill with his sleeves tucked in, his piercing eyes overlooking the county town of Longxian County and the surrounding rice fields.

Many people in Long County also suffered from that strange disease.

The situation is even worse than in Ji County.

It's hard to imagine that two years ago this was an enviable big county.It is not so easy for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, but at least there is hope for them to live in peace and stability.

Now when it comes again, everything is dilapidated.

Weeds overgrown and rocks scattered, corpses of lingering flies were casually wrapped in straw mats and still waiting in the ravines. Those wild dogs with green eyes were full of fierce looks.

The Taoist lifted up a corner of the wasteland, dug a big hole, and threw the scattered corpses into it.

Those wild dogs were not afraid of people, and wanted to come up to bite the Taoist while he was busy, but in the end, he could only leave a few bloody dog ​​corpses helplessly, and filled them into the big pit along with the corpses.

Just after finishing these, only the screams and screams could be heard from afar.

"Don't let him run away!"

"Stop, He San, stop."

"..."

"Catch him for the reward."

The person at the front was wrapped in thick clothes, his face was bruised and purple, and he was running for his life on the ground. For some unknown reason, he was more than ten meters away from the swarming people behind him.

He San turned his head and glanced at the person who was chasing him. He didn't pay attention to his feet. He screamed and rushed forward like a vicious dog grabbing food. Fortunately, he hugged his head in the end, only to roll over several times. fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of this gap, the people behind him have already caught up with him.

One of the villagers jumped up violently and rushed forward heavily.Hugging He San who was about to get up, he shouted in surprise, "I caught him."

The villagers who rushed up from behind quickly drowned He San, pinning him down tightly.

He San struggled to stand up, but he was no match for so many people.But He San was also relentless, and all the villagers closest to him received fists.

His fist was heavy and he felt no pain.

A punch fell, and the faces of the villagers were immediately opened to the dyeing workshop.

Two or three of them grabbed He San's arm and shouted, "Break his hand off."

Then some other villagers raised their hoes high and went straight to the arm fixed on the ground.

Decisively, without any hesitation.

It's as if they weren't beating people at all but weeding.

"boom."

The imagined screams did not appear.

The villager holding the hoe looked in front of him in astonishment.A long box blocked his hoe, and that box was being held by a Taoist in an indigo robe with one hand.

The Taoist has a beard, and the years have left many marks on his face.

There is nothing unusual in appearance, but a pair of piercing eyes.

The Taoist priest in charge was Chixuan who had left Chiyang Palace. He proclaimed his title and said, "Fusheng Tianzun, benefactor, his hand will be broken when you go down with the hoe."

One of the villagers, whose face was covered with blood, said sharply, "I just want him to cut off his hand."

"Otherwise he will still resist, and the beating will hurt grandpa."

"That's right, I'm going to break his hand, so as not to teach him to run again, and we won't be able to get the reward."

The corners of Chi Xuan's eyes twitched.

Brazenly catching people to receive rewards, yet so confident.

"I'm not sick. I won't go to the county government office." He San, who was being held down, didn't yell. He wanted to preserve his strength. Being arrested for a while didn't matter. He could think of a way to escape again.

"If you get sick, you have to go to the county government, otherwise more people will get sick."

"Stop talking nonsense, tie him up and send him to the county government office to receive a reward."

Chixuan turned the sword box in his hand, stopped the villagers who were about to attack, and said very seriously: "Listen to the poor Taoist, this is not a disease."

The villager holding the hoe spat sharply: "Bah, the wild Taoist wants to meddle in his own business."

"The wild Taoist wants to stop us from receiving the reward, he wants to grab the reward money."

"I think the wild Taoist priest is He San's accomplice, and he is here to meet him." The speaker held Chi Xuan's sword case with both hands, rolling his eyes.

He just thought this box was a treasure.

Old man Wang worked hard to cultivate the land. The strength of that hoe can break even gold and stone, but this box is not unusual at all.

How not baby?

He thought it would take a lot of effort, but suddenly felt a lightness in his hand, and he almost fell back and squatted.

Taking a closer look, the box has appeared in his hand.

Before he could open the box to see what was inside, he heard a loud shout: "Well, you gang of thieves are actually blocking the way in the street and grabbing things from the poor."

Immediately afterwards, he felt his body lighten, and it turned out that he was lifted into the air.

He stared wide-eyed at the Taoist priest who lifted him up, his eyes were full of horror, and he quickly argued: "No...not..."

However, at this time, a fist as big as a casserole was already in sight.

"what!"

Looking at the villagers who moved, the Taoist shouted: "Are you all accomplices of thieves?" As he spoke, he raised his fist, and with three punches and two kicks, a dozen villagers had been beaten to the ground.

He San stared dumbfounded at what happened in front of him, forgetting to run away.When he saw the Taoist's eyes, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Master Dao, I'm not with them..."

Chixuan picked up the box with his toes, patted the dust on it and said, "Of course the poor know."

"You will be smashed by them, how can you be with them."

"Daozhang, stay here."

Chi Xuan looked back and saw an old man with a cane.

The man seemed to have just arrived, and after slightly cupping his hands, he said: "Master Dao, we have no other choice. I don't know what happened to the water in the Long River, and the crops irrigated are all dead."

"When locusts crossed the border again, the crops planted in spring and summer died completely, and there was no harvest for a whole year."

"People always have to eat. We are not as capable as the Taoist priest, so we can only make a bad plan, otherwise the whole village will starve to death."

"It's ten taels of silver to catch a person. Ten taels of silver can't buy much food, but it can keep people in the village alive."

"you are?"

"This old man is the head of Xiaotian Village."

"Master Dao, you also saw it."

The old man pointed to a house not far away. There were a few timid eyes hidden behind the half-closed door. The shriveled woman led the children. Those children were naked and skinny, hiding in the door frame. inside.

Chi Xuan responded silently, in the face of life and death, there is no such thing as benevolence, righteousness and morality.

It can only be said that this kind of turbid world that eats people turns people into people who are neither human nor ghost.

"We still want to get sick, but we don't know how to get sick, and just getting sick is not enough, we have to survive, and such a person is worth ten taels of silver."

"It's not that no one in the village got sick and didn't survive."

Chi Xuan listened to the description of the head of Xiaotian Village, and felt that this world was hopeless.But the people are innocent, and if they want to, they don't want to become what they are now.

Taking out 15 taels of silver, Chixuan handed it to the village head: "Poverty bought his life."

"The remaining five taels are a gift from the poor."

The village head of Xiaotian Village knelt on the ground with a puff, kowtowed and said: "The Taoist priest Gao Yi, the little old man is ashamed to receive the money from the Taoist priest."

Chi Xuan helped the village head up and turned away. He came here to solve the source of the epidemic.

……

"What are you doing with Pindao?"

Chi Xuan stopped and looked at He San who was following behind him.

He San said: "He San's life has been sold to the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest, where can I go?"

Chi Xuan waved his hand, as if he wanted to drive He San away, he said: "What do you want your life to do, the poor way, leave you quickly, find a place to hide, don't be caught again. The poor way can There is no time to save you again."

"The world is so big, there is no place for He San."

"I beg the Taoist priest to show mercy, let He San follow the Taoist priest, and let me do whatever."

He San, who was about to kneel down, was immobilized by mana.

He San was surprised to find that he could no longer kneel down, and the gaze he looked at Chi Xuan was even more shocking.

"I don't know if I can survive this poor way. If you follow me, it's just adding dust."

Chi Xuan sighed, but He San was right, those who survived the disease would be wanted by the court no matter where they went.

The final fate will not be much better than that of the children in the karst cave of Longxian county government.

But what can he do as a qi cultivator?
I can only ask the Demon King again.

"Also ask the devil to show his supernatural powers again."

Tu Shanjun made a move indifferently, turned over the seal in his hand, and extracted the power of the incense and wished to cover He San's body.

Red-yellow light enveloped He San.

He San suddenly felt a warm current in his body, flowing through his limbs and bones, his body was no longer tired, and even the injuries on his body no longer hurt.

He was surprised to find that he seemed to be able to control that power.

This is very similar to the internal force mentioned by those heroes, but he has never seen internal force, and he doesn't know if it is.

Chixuan nodded deeply, and actually thanked Tu Shanjun through sound transmission, and said to He San: "Go to Chiyang Palace in Ji County, there are people like you there, go find them."

"What is the Taoist priest's name?"

"The poor Taoist Zhang Tianbao, whose Taoist name is Chixuan, Chiyang Palace is the Taoist temple of the poor Taoist."

"Go."

After dismissing He San, he walked for another half an hour and finally arrived at the place Tu Shanjun told him.The name of this mountain is Longqiu, which is composed of many hills. It is said that the hills are actually taller than Jishan.

There is a temple on the mountain called "Jiming Temple". It is said that there are more than a dozen strange monks in the Jiming Temple.

"Is the source in the Taoist temple?"

"No."

Upon hearing these two words, Chixuan suddenly asked: "Is it still underground?"

"Not underground but inside the mountain."

In fact, Mr. Tu Shan didn't know too much from those people's memories, but when he stood here, the Lingguan Dharma Eye was working, and all the movements of Longqiu were reflected in his eyes, and there was nothing to hide.

Chixuan carried the wooden box and the bundle on his back, climbed up Longqiu along the path, and went straight to the Jiming Temple.

Of course, I didn't come to worship the mountain gate, but wanted to sneak in.

However, a pale light curtain blocked Chi Xuan's way.

"Formation?"
