Those who eat qi, live long life

Chapter 157 Find the whereabouts
Taoxi Village.

Like most remote mountain villages in Jinxi Town, they are located in a remote area, but there are quite a few people.

The so-called officials are the elders of the village.

Most of the people in the mountains are dissatisfied with Wang Hua, especially the transportation in the village is inconvenient, and the town guard mansion is also difficult to control on weekdays. In the face of the epidemic, there is no protection and support for them.
These villages were the main targets of the ghost crowd on the ancient battlefield.

If it weren't for the raging epidemic, Ding Niu and his party might not be popular here, because most of these villages are closed and xenophobic.

Several village elders came out to greet them, showing sincerity and fear: "Your Excellency is here, and I am sorry to welcome you!"

"How is the epidemic in the village?" Ding Niu came here disguised as an official of the town guard's mansion.

"The plague is difficult to cure, and many people have died."

People caught by the plague were gathered in a wild temple. When Ding Niu went there, he saw mountain people dragging the sick people out of the temple and left quickly in disgust.

"... Are they all in the temple?"

"Yes, my lord." The villagers stopped far away and stopped moving forward: "The front is where the sick and sick people gather. If you want to apply medicine, please go ahead."

"Aren't you together?"

"...The old man is old and has weak resistance, so it is inconvenient to be with adults." Several villagers laughed dryly and called out one person: "Hei Wa, you lead the adults there yourself, don't dare to neglect!"

"Yes!"

A young man named Hei Wa led Ding Niu and others forward: "My lord, come this way."

Ding Niu walked over quickly, and the guards behind him followed closely. They had already followed Ding Niu to several places, knowing his abilities, and they were not afraid of being infected by the plague when he was by his side.

Ding Niu pushed open the temple door and saw that there was a lot of people lying inside, coughing constantly, seeing someone coming in, but almost no one cared, they were too busy to take care of themselves.

Ding Niu glanced around, and saw that many people inside had died, but there was no one to take care of them—these people were left to fend for themselves.

Ding Niu glanced at the surrounding atmosphere, it was dark and obscure, but many people died here, but there was no ghost breath at all.

He immediately knew what was going on.

The relatives have been busy, cleaning up the scene, boiling water to turn pills, and cooking porridge.

The latter is even more effective than the former two.

As Ding Niu took out the polished rice from the dikun bag and poured it into the big cauldron, under the high fire, the fragrance of the rice overflowed, and the person lying dead in the temple seemed to come back to life slowly, and gradually became alive.

"...Eat, eat..."

Someone slowly got up from the ground and slowly moved to the side of the cauldron, greedily inhaling the fragrance of rice, eager to see through.

Coughs and hungry grunts echoed in the temple.

"Put the porridge!"

The relatives were familiar with the road, and started to put the porridge. The Quyidan had been added to the rice porridge, and the patients ate it along with the rice porridge.

In the beginning, the patients who still had strength drank some porridge on their own, and then they began to help those who were already lying on the ground and were dying of illness to feed them.

After working for about half a day, everyone ate some porridge and anti-epidemic pill water, and the hidden boy who was eaten had already begun to control the qi of Mara and slowly pull out the qi of the epidemic.

The people in the temple gradually gained vitality.

Everyone spontaneously moved closer to Ding Niu and the others, unable to thank in a low voice.

Ding Niu asked:

""Does anyone come to deliver food on weekdays? "

Everyone was silent.

It seems not.

"...Didn't the tutelary mansion provide food?"

Ding Niu looked at the attendant at the side, who knew his identity, dared not neglect him, whispered in his ear:

"It is the full amount of food given according to the number of people reported in the villagers' newspaper. The young prince personally supervises the handling of this matter, and there will be no mistakes..."

The implication is that the rations of these patients were embezzled by the villagers like the emperor.

That's right, they are all people who will die sooner or later after being hit by the plague, so save some food so as not to waste it.

Ha ha……

Ding Niu kept his composure, found a free time to leave the ruined temple, found a secret place, stomped his foot, and shook Huang Liangtu:
"Where is the local mountain god?"

Not long after, a gust of mountain wind passed by, and a big man fell from the wind:

"Master Yuhou, the villain is here!"

It is the local mountain god granted by the Yuhou Mansion.

The mountain gods, water gods, and ghost gods from all over the country canonized by the Yuhou Mansion are Ding Niu's eyes and ears.

Wherever he goes, Ding Niu will understand the situation in detail:

Are there any wild festivals in the village recently, and what kind of spirits and ghosts nearby come to contact the villagers, etc.

But after they came for half a day, the mountain god didn't take the initiative to find him, so Ding Niu knew something was wrong.

Looking at the mountain god again, he found that his breath was stagnant and his figure was erratic, as if he had suffered serious injuries.

No wonder the sense of breath is sluggish.

Ding Niu knew that the mountain gods in this place were not allowed to be incensed, because they were cultivated after falling into the land of evil spirits after death. Later, they got the mountain god pills, and their cultivation was advancing rapidly. They were already at the peak of the Xiantian realm. All the mountain gods are currently canonized by the Yuhou Mansion. Among ghosts and gods, his strength is considered top-notch.

I don't want to see you for a few days, and I suffered such a serious injury.

"Who hurt you? Why didn't you report to Yuhou Mansion?"

The big man clasped his fists: "The villain remembers the master's order to arrest the new plague ghost, so as not to harm the neighbors, so he guards the ruined temple here in Taoxi Village."

"A few days ago, an evil spirit came, intending to capture the soul of the newly dead and leave, but was beaten away by the villain. Unexpectedly, in just one day, the evil spirit came with four evil spirits holding chains."

"The villain owns the Shanshen Pill, and his strength is not weaker than any of them. Unexpectedly, the four evil spirits with chains have the skill of hooking up and attacking. The iron chain is weird and seems to be able to lock people's cultivation. The villain didn't check their way for a while. , was gouged out with a lot of spiritual power, if it hadn't been for Shanshen Wan to break out of the encirclement, last night would have been unlucky."

"The villain hid himself and relied on Shanshen Pill to recover from his injuries. He didn't wake up until the adult summoned him. Please forgive me."

A demon with chains?

Ding Niu searched for several days to get rid of the epidemic everywhere, and finally found the trace of Bazibiedu evil spirit!
Bazibiedu's ghost messengers are standard possessions, and the weapons they transform are chains, shackles and the like, which have unique characteristics. No matter how their shapes change, once they use weapons and skills, they can't hide their identities.

Looking at the description of the mountain god, the four ghosts who came here are not weak in skill, they should be elites, and it is worth exploring who is behind them.

Ding Niu said: "You have tried your best, I will handle everything here."

"Yes!"

It's a pity that the big man is a ghost and a god, so he can't use the Yiqi pills that Qi practitioners usually use.

Ding Niu thought about making some nourishing qi pills that ghosts and gods can use in the future.

Right now, I can only point out a few tips about Shanshenwan to this big man, so as to help him speed up the recovery of his injuries.

In the end, I asked a question that was not relevant:
"I also know some qi-watching techniques. I came to Taoxi Village for the first time today, and I saw that the aura in this village is dark... How are the elders here?"

Hearing the words, the big man sighed: "I was also a local villager, and I always knew the power of the elders, and I took life and death in the village... This strange disease made people cough and weak, and the village missed spring plowing. I used to rely on the relief of the town guard to survive, but now the relief food is handled by the villagers... Hey, I don’t know how many people will starve to death this year!"

Ding Niu said coldly, "I worked so hard to save a few people, but it's not as easy as they killed them. No wonder the evil spirits are rampant."

The big man hesitated for a moment: "My lord, what should I do?"

"It's easy to take their dog's life, but I will take action on this matter, but it will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. In this way, I will give you a pill, which is a dream pill. Those who take this pill will enter a dream world when they dream. It can start a new life... Even a villager in the countryside may become the lord of a country, and an illiterate person can become a generation of Confucian scholars in it, and what else is in it... If you are interested, you can also explore it yourself." Ding Niu said:

"Experiencing the life in the dream world can broaden your horizons, increase your knowledge, tell right from wrong, know right from wrong, how to choose your life in the future, it's up to them to make their own decisions, isn't it oppressed by mere old folks...hehe."

"...Yes!" The big man respectfully took the pills from Ding Niu, thought for a moment, and asked for advice: "My lord, how about I give this pill to the children in the village first?"

"Alright, young man..." Ding Niu said: "You go, this pill is only effective for seven days, and you need to take it again after seven days to enter that dream... I will give it to you at the next Yuhou Mansion meeting." Some."

"As ordered!"

The big man turned into the wind and walked away.

When Ding Niu returned, before he arrived at the ruined temple, he noticed a person peeping in the dark. He pretended not to notice, to see what he was going to do. Unexpectedly, when the person saw him, he rushed out and fell to his knees:
"Immortal! Please accept me as a disciple!"

"...What do you mean?"

The person who came was none other than Hei Wa, who was assigned by the elders to accompany them.

Hei Wa just kowtowed continuously: "Please the immortal accept me as a disciple!"

"How can I be a fairy?"

"The grown-ups who came here all have abilities, but immortals are different. My eyes can see some breaths that ordinary people can't see. There is black air everywhere in the ruined temple. Those patients keep coming out. I know those are Illness, if you encounter it, you will get sick, but the immortal walks in front, and those black qi dodge one after another, so I know that you are the legendary immortal!"

"..."

Ding Niu didn't expect that this black man had such eyes, but it was an external manifestation of a keen aura, which was similar to the cow's tears qi that the old cow gave him.

A keen sense of Qi is the basic ability of a Qi practitioner, and this person has the talent of a Qi practitioner.

But this person is not young, and he has no cultivation base. His talent was buried in this small mountain village.

Ding Niu asked:

"Why do you want to worship me as a teacher?"

Hei Wa's eyes turned red and she shed tears: "I...I want revenge!"

He was afraid that Ding Niu would not agree, so he hurriedly said something: "The villain was originally a hunter in the village, with a wife and son. A few days ago, in the middle of the night, the villain fell into a drowsy sleep, as if he heard someone whispering in a dream: Don't be greedy for yang qi, quickly disperse the disease, and go to the next house!"

"A few voices were low and chattering. The villain woke up suddenly, looked around but saw nothing, and didn't think much at the time."

"Unexpectedly, on the second day, the villain found that all his wives were pale, weak and sick."

"The villain hurriedly went to the village to find a doctor, only to realize that overnight, many people had a cold...It was later discovered that it was a plague."

Hei Wa wiped her tears as she spoke: "It was too late when I found out. The villain's wife and son were seriously ill and died of coughing up blood. It's a pity that my wife has not had a good life for a few days after marriage, and my son is only two years old!"

"The villain's eyes were almost blinded by crying, and suddenly he could see the black air. Remembering the experience of that night, the villain asked around, only to know that the strangeness of this plague was spread by evil spirits."

"The villain was determined to take revenge, so he took the initiative to ask to be taken care of at the ruined temple. These days, he lay in the crowd of the ruined temple and pretended to be sick. At night, there were many ghosts, coming roaring in, roaring away. The villain Pretend not to know, but observe secretly."

"There were a few fights the day before yesterday, and I don't know who won. The villain lay there and suddenly felt cold. There were rustling sounds in the ruined temple. I heard someone urging to hurry up."

"The villain heard them saying: The mountain gods in Yuhou's Mansion are a bit difficult to deal with, and this place will definitely attract attention in the future, and take these plague dead ghosts away quickly."

"Another voice said: "What are you afraid of? The Yuhou Mansion has pulled out the plague qi here, and it's time to disperse it again. The cure is always slower than our dispersal of the plague..."

"..."

To Ding Niu's surprise, "ordinary people" saw this incident.

Hei Wa continued: "Today, the villain heard from the village elder that a medical officer from the Marquis of Yu's Mansion came to apply the medicine, so he paid special attention to it, so he can see that the lord is an immortal... Immortal, please accept me as an apprentice!"

Ding Niu said: "You look right, this time it is indeed evil spirits who harm people, but cultivation is not accomplished overnight, you want to take revenge, but you can't right now, you will just lose your life for nothing..."

"Villains are not afraid of death!"

"...Our Yuhou Mansion is hunting down the culprit of this disaster. I think you are talented. How about this? Since you are a hunter, go to Jinxi Town to report to Yuhou Mansion first, be a geomancy school, and do some errands The matter of communication also contributes to our actions."

"The villain still wants to..."

"Ok?"

Hei Wa gritted her teeth: "I listen to the fairy!"

"Go, take off your clothes, and go right away."

Ding Niu took out a set of clothes for him.

When Hei Wa heard this, she immediately took off her clothes and put them on, then turned around and ran out of the mountain.

Ding Niu admired him for being so decisive.

He collected Heiwa's clothes and returned to the ruined temple. The plague qi in the ruined temple has been removed, and the matter has come to an end.

But if the plague ghosts go and come back, these ordinary people are still unable to guard against them.

Ding Niu and the town guard rushed to the next village as planned.

In the evening, "Heiwa" rushed back to the ruined temple... It was Ding Niu who came here in disguise.

Taoxi Village left the people here to fend for themselves, and Heiwa left and returned, no one paid any attention to it.

Although Ding Niu explained that the plague was gone, the village elders said they had to observe for a few more days before releasing them back to the village, so these people still lived in the temple.

In the evening, I brought some food.

At night, Ding Niu wrapped his clothes and found a place to lie down in the temple.

Snoring gradually started around.

Ding Niu closed his eyes, feeling the flow of breath around him.

In the middle of the night, the dark wind howled, and after a short time hovering nearby, a gust of wind was blown into the temple.

Ding Niu "saw" that an erratic figure was hovering in the sky, spewing black air continuously.

This figure is thin and erratic, and the qi qi it carries is also weak, obviously it is a newly-dead plague ghost.

Ding Niu sneered: "As soon as the epidemic qi left here, these evil spirits came, how brave they are!"
Make a little movement while turning over to attract the ghost's idea.

Ding Niu secretly said:

"The man turned over has a lot of yang energy, which is a bit conspicuous among these patients."

A wave of yellow beam energy had already played a role, the plague ghost had no idea that he had been tricked, so he approached carefully.

When he got close, Ding Niu raised his hand to let out his lost qi, and beat the new ghost into a daze.

After a while, the cloudy wind outside realized something was wrong, startled and suspicious:
"The plague ghost is gone in the temple! Is the mountain god still here?"

"Go, I will kill him this time!"

Four gusts of dark wind entered the temple aggressively.

I looked around, but found nothing!
