Master Xiantu

Chapter 141
Thinking of the three thousand newly recruited disciples of the sect, these people rely entirely on the supply of elixirs from the alchemy room, which is really hard for them.

"Thank you for your hard work." Qi Ji comforted him.

Miao Qingdan bluntly said that this was his responsibility. While the two were chatting, a disciple hurriedly came to report: "The leader is in trouble. There has been a death incident among villagers in Golden No. [-] City. Ten people have been killed."

Qi Ji was immediately shocked. These newly accepted villagers were the foundation for the future of the human race and there was no room for any mistakes.

Especially when they moved here, everything was not yet stable. The death incident at this time was extremely ineffective in stabilizing the situation, and so many people died at once.

"Why did so many people suddenly die? Have you found out the cause?" Qi Ji asked the disciple.

"The reason is unknown at the moment. President Huo is investigating there. I came here to report the matter to the leader on the order of President Huo," the disciple replied.

Hearing that Huo Qihai was there, Qi Ji didn't even bother to greet Miao Qingdan. He flashed and disappeared in front of the two of them without any warning.

Jinzi City No. [-] was numbered by Qiji according to the directions of the five elements. Qiji arrived at the location of Jinzi No. [-] City almost in the blink of an eye.

There are now 20 villagers settled in the city, which is already considered a large city.

Qi Ji went directly to the city lord's mansion.

At this time, the mansion was full of people. There were three corpses placed in the middle of the hall. A man who looked like he was doing an autopsy was doing an autopsy. Huo Qihai sat in the chair with a gloomy face, waiting for the results.

Seeing Qi Ji arrive, Huo Qihai hurriedly stood up and came over. Also coming with him was a middle-aged man in his early forties, who was chosen by Huo Qihai to be the city lord in charge of Golden Number One City, Wang Xin.

"Master Qi." The two of them saluted Qi Ji at the same time.

"What's going on?" Qi Ji returned the greeting to the two of them, and then asked about the specific things here.

"We don't know the reason yet. I just know that these people were fine the day before, but somehow fell asleep overnight. No external injuries can be seen on the bodies for the time being." Huo Qihai replied.

"City Lord, President Huo, judging from the marks on these people's bodies, it is clear that they have been dead for many days, and they cannot have died just this morning." After a while of inspection, he came over and reported back to Wang Xin and Huo Qihai.

"This is impossible." Before Huo Qihai and Wang Xin could speak, a sad woman in the crowd said with tears: "My husband-in-law was fine yesterday, how could he have been dead for many days? He has been in and out these days, left and right. The neighbors also see it.”

As she finished speaking, more than a dozen people in the crowd nodded, indicating that what the woman said was true.

This is strange.

Qi Ji murmured in his heart that there could be no mistake in Gu Zuo's determined look, but what the woman said and there were so many neighbors testifying didn't seem to be false, but this contradiction was too weird.

Thinking of it, they walked slowly to the ten corpses and examined them one by one.

The ten dead people were all young and middle-aged men. Seeing all the deeds made me feel even more angry. They singled out all the young men to kill them. This was to eliminate the incense of the human race!

"Can the cause of death be found out?" Qi Ji asked Wuzuo.

Wuzuo shook his head, and Qi Ji heard this and uncovered the cloth covering the deceased's body. Suddenly, a purple mark on the heart of the deceased caught Qi Ji's attention.Qi Ji used his eyesight and looked carefully at the purple seal, which looked very much like a corpse stain. At this moment, Qi Ji's spiritual energy focused on his eyes, and he realized that the purple seal was still somewhat different from a corpse stain.

He pointed at the purple seal, and a black blood arrow shot out from his heart. A stench suddenly spread through the hall, and a crowd of people watching the excitement retreated a dozen steps away.

Qi Ji looked intently and saw a hole the size of a fist suddenly appeared in the heart of the deceased in front of them, and a heart with black smoke jumping out of the hole.

Qi Ji reached out and grabbed the black heart in his hand.

He took up the real fire and burned it towards the black heart, and the heart turned into a piece of silver.

This scene made everyone's expressions change drastically.

They all walked towards the second corpse, also uncovered the gray cloth covering their bodies, took off their clothes and looked at the heart, there was also a purple mark.

This time, Qiji followed the law and used his magic power to point at the purple mark. It was like popping a balloon. The purple mark on the man's heart exploded with a soft sound, and a hole the size of a fist also appeared. .

Black blood flowed from the hole, and the stench in the hall became stronger for a while. Many people couldn't bear it and ran out to vomit.

Qi Ji took out the man's black heart and burned it with his true fire. This time, what was revealed was a pink puppet, carved of a beautiful woman.

The carvings of the puppets are extremely exquisite. Although they are only the size of a palm, their facial features are so pretty that they seem to have come alive.

Qi Ji opened all the purple marks on the hearts of the remaining eight corpses one by one. The hearts of these people had all been replaced. Some were imperial jade seals, some were beauty puppets, and most were silver ingots.

Huo Qihai looked at what Qi Ji took out from the corpses, and said with a solemn expression: "It's the Demon Clan's 'Six Desires Leaving Soul Curse'."

This was the first time Qi Ji heard about the demons and the "Six Desires Leaving Soul Curse". Demonic things actually appeared on his territory. Doesn't this mean that the demons have penetrated into Qianshui River?
"Why do you think these people are under the demon's spell?" Qi Ji asked Huo Qihai.

"Look at the hearts of these people burned by real fire, and they turned into jade seals, beauty puppets and silver ingots. These things represent power, beauty and money. They are all manifestations of people's inner desires. And the people in the demon clan are the best at following others. Starting from the seven emotions and six desires, people control their bodies with their own desires. The way these people die is the unique feature of the 'Six Desires Leaving Soul Curse'." Huo Qihai traveled far and wide, and saw more things. Qiji was very interested in him. The words created some trust.

"How will someone who has been cursed by a demon react?" City Lord Wang Xin suddenly asked.

"The demon's spell is to infinitely magnify people's inner desires, so people who are under the demon's spell can remain somewhat awake in the first few days, but they will show irritability because they have to fight against their inner desires. After waiting for a long time, his heart was eroded by his own desires. Although he looked normal on the outside, his whole heart became as bloodthirsty and murderous as the demons."

Huo Qihai looked at the row of dead bodies in front of him and continued: "Some of these people's hearts have turned into puppets, some have turned into silver ingots, and some have turned into jade seals, which shows that what these people desire most in their hearts is beauty and money. and power.”

At this point, Huo Qihai murmured with some confusion: "People who have been cursed by demons, unless the person who cast the curse wants to take the life of the cursed person, they will never die for no reason. These people are cursed. The demons tried their best to cast spells on these people, so they must be saved for future use. It is really puzzling to die in such strange ways."

"I think I know the reason." Wang Xin said with a cold face.

Qi Ji and Huo Qihai both looked at Wang Xin with doubts. Wang Xin pulled open his clothes in front of their eyes. Qi Ji and Huo Qihai's expressions suddenly changed. They saw that there was also a purple mark on Wang Xin's mouth. It's just that his mark is much lighter, almost invisible.
