Lord of Immortals

Chapter 17 The demon was originally a protector

The massacre of dragon spirits and monsters is still going on.

Ge Xian had reason to suspect that when Yelu Yuyan went crazy, Lu Hualong covered her behind to prevent the bloody and brutal scenes from being seen by ordinary people and county residents.

Of course, it's not because he loves the people like his own son that he is so kind-hearted.

I'm afraid it's because the county people would be traumatized if they saw that scene, and it would be difficult to keep them in captivity and sell them.

As the "initiator", Ge Xian was watching carefully at this time.

If it were a normal world of immortals and gods with the laws of heaven and the existence of divine punishment, Ge Xian would probably feel deeply guilty for causing such a disaster, and it would be time to think hard about how to remedy it.

But this world is very different after all. After Ge Xian observed it for a long time, he was sure of one thing: among the many dragon spirits and monsters he was attracted to, none of them could be called good.

Whether it was looking at the details of the traces or sensing them, Ge Xian was convinced that they had all eaten humans.

And, very fresh.

The most obvious one is a strange dragon that flew out of the well in Taimiao Lane. Almost the rest of its body has turned into a dragon, except for its head, which is still human. It looks like a big man with a fleshy face and a thick beard, flying in the clouds and mist. On one side, he grabbed a human leg with his dragon claws and bit it, causing blood and water to splash everywhere, which was very cruel.

Now Ge Xian also has some knowledge, and he immediately made a guess when he saw it.

"This evil beast must have been a human race in the past. By some chance, he got flesh, blood, and martial arts. He hid in the depths of the well and practiced. He suppressed the division of soul and soul with the breath of incense. He came out at midnight to capture the county people and satisfy his evil habits."

"Look at the demon body, only the head is left that has not completed its transformation. Once it transforms into a dragon, it will be considered that the foundation-building realm has been completely stabilized, and preparations can begin to attack the mortal transformation realm."

"Among the dragon-type monsters that pounced on Liuying Lane, this evil beast is among the top five. It is far more powerful than those unconventional spirits or the monsters who have entered the Dao realm."

"It's a pity that even if he really starts to attack the Mortal Realm, he will not be a match for a [Heart-eating Demonic Fox], and he will definitely die this time."

Ge Xian's thoughts are exactly prophecies.

Driven by greed, this strange dragon pounced on Liuying Lane.

After entering the alley, Dao Qi, the demon fox that had been condensed into essence, suddenly woke up and turned to run away.

Unfortunately, in the next breath, he was dragged in by a huge fox paw, and a cruel tearing sound was heard. However, this time, it was the strange dragon's turn to eat his thigh.

The rest of the demons met the same fate.

With less than half a stick of incense, Liuying Lane, a place called the ecstasy of fox prostitutes by many promiscuous men in Qiantang County, was already covered with corpses.

However, Ge Merchant could see clearly that the perverted couple Lu Hualong and Yelu Yuyan were well prepared. They were killing people above, while fox prostitutes, cow slaves, ghosts and other monsters below were pushing carts and holding dustpans. They kept restraining themselves. The corpses were thrown into a huge pool built at an unknown time deep in the alley.

The pool was not only filled with thick blood, but also bred with some kind of ferocious eel-like monster insect that had no eyes, was covered in mucus, had a large bloody mouth, and was covered with dragon scales.

Densely packed and unsettling.

As corpses were dumped into the pool one after another, they rushed up crazily, drilling bloody holes and gnawing them all away in the blink of an eye.

Beside the pool, Lu Hualong, who was still wearing the official uniform of the county official, stood impressively.

Looking at those insect-like and snake-like eel monsters with a greedy look on his face, his saliva was about to drip out.

"Magistrate Lu is indeed a man who knows how to live a good life."

"Knowing that I couldn't stop my 'crazy lady' from going crazy, I simply built a corpse pool overnight, destroying the corpses and eliminating traces, while breeding and feeding some kind of dragon-type Gu insects."

"Is it supposed to be a sacrifice to the [Eating Gu Spiritual God] in order to obtain more powerful power and follow-up skills and flesh and blood?"

"But if you and your wife do this, will the dragons in the Qiantang River outside the city be willing to do it?"

"Huh? Sure enough, it's here..."

As soon as the idea came to his mind, Ge Xian suddenly turned his head and looked outside Qiantang County.

Under the dark sky, at the bottom of the Qiantang River, a terrifying dragon roar suddenly sounded. It was extremely precise, passed from a distance, and resounded throughout the sky.

It seemed that he was trying to give face to the Yelu family, but none of the county residents heard anything.

Those who have entered the Tao can clearly hear every word, and can even feel an extremely frightening sense of oppression emerging from the depths of their bloodline, completely at the racial level of life.

"Gu-eating demon, heart-eating fox."

"You and your wife sent someone to my Dragon Palace during the day to borrow the [Dragon Bone Blowing]. They said they wanted to capture an ugly dragon girl who had blasphemed your wife. For the sake of Old Prime Minister Yelu, I gave it to you."

"Now that I have blown half a stick of incense, all the dragon monsters that should come within a hundred miles have arrived. No matter whether you and your wife get what you want, the treasure must be returned."

"If you blow it for a while longer, my children will be restless and come looking for it, so be it."

This obviously came from the roar of an old dragon.

In an instant, the horn sound that caused dragon monsters and monsters to run amok also stopped.

The treasure called [Dragon Bone Blowing] rolled on the spot and transformed into a mottled bone dragon about nine inches long, flying towards the Qiantang River.

Without the treasure for detention, Yelu Yuyan had to stop killing even though she was reluctant in every possible way.

But she did not recover her body immediately. Instead, she used the body of a demon fox to jump on the spot and go crazy. Regardless of whether the old dragon could hear it or not, she screamed and said angrily:

"God damn you, Old Ghost Qu, for being so stingy. If it hadn't been for the help of that old bastard Yelu Tianzheng, how could you have become the God of the Qiantang River?"

"Hmph, be careful in the future and don't ask me to catch my sore feet..."

What followed was Yelu Yuyan's incompetent rage. Ge Xian didn't dare to look any further and quickly got off the roof of the revolving room.

This time, I saw a familiar scene again.

The glow of the oil lamp swayed and shone, and the house that was once a mess and filthy became clean and tidy, with no trace of flesh, blood, impurities in dirty water, fragments of water tanks, etc.

On one side of the bed, a pretty young woman stood, looking over with her head slightly raised.

Obviously, waiting for praise.

Ge Xian was naturally amazed. This world is really strange. There are not only demon dynasties, but also various strange creatures with magical abilities, such as this broom spirit.

She is also a rare spirit in this chaotic world who has never harmed anyone.

Ge Merchant couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't harvest her on the day he was reborn.

At this time, he praised the pretty young woman with great sincerity:

"Sister Bai is so awesome."

"It seems that in the future, whether Master Ge is cultivating at home or traveling abroad, he will inevitably have Sister Bai accompanying him."

Compared with the demons and evil gods who continue to practice and become increasingly powerful but have many evil habits, it is much simpler to be a broom spirit.

He was very happy when he heard the praise and smiled brightly.

In the past two days, Ge Xian, who was reborn in this world, was tense and had a lot of thoughts. It was rare for him to relax and rest. He also temporarily forgot his worries and chatted happily with the strange sister of the Bai family.

Even if this broom spirit knows very little, if I ask a little more in-depth questions, she can only respond with a silly look on her face: I'm just a broom and so on.

Even so, Ge Xian doesn't mind.

Unfortunately, she was exhausted even after she came out, so she returned to the Soul Mansion to rest soon.

Ge Xian was practicing "Transforming the Dragon" while thinking about the situation he would face next.

He knew that he was in danger. Qiantang County and all the county residents, including him, might still be packed up and sold by Lu Hualong at any time, and Yelu Yuyan didn't seem to be willing to give up. [Dragon Bone Blowing] didn't succeed, who knows what dirty tricks will come out next time.

Unfortunately, he couldn't leave. The trip to Jiudao Village during the day was enough to make him realize that the wilderness was dangerous.For the current plan, I have to continue to explore and use various methods to strengthen myself.

Fortunately, he is different from most ignorant county residents. He knows part of the truth, and there is a spiritual path ahead, so he has the strength to struggle after all.

……

The next day, at the gate of the city, the propaganda team gathered again, and no one was missing.

There was no fear on the faces of all the salesmen and traders, because they had all received rewards yesterday.

Including Ge Xian, in addition to money and food, each was given a few kilograms of pork. In this age, it was clearly a generous reward.

In particular, the two generals also said that the more refugees and savages they brought back, the more generous the rewards would be, and everyone's interest was high for a while.

So the two ghosts took advantage of the situation and said that this time they were going to not one place, but two places, and it would take a whole day to travel.

Compared with yesterday, today is much smoother.

Because Ge Xian no longer has to worry about being exposed, he can use his super-sensory abilities blatantly.

In addition to helping the team avoid inexplicable disasters such as [Meng Po Feng], [Burning Heart Fire], [Bottomless Pit] and other inexplicable disasters, it can also assist the escort team in hunting.

That's right!

It's hunting.

Although there are countless dangers in the wilderness, there are also many benefits.

Even low-level monsters like the Tsubaki-tailed Ghost Jackal have merits.

Ge Xian was also helpless. He was completely regarded as a "radar" by the escort. As he moved forward, he hunted monsters and monsters everywhere, obtaining various rare objects, including flesh and blood containing Dao Qi, or materials for refining treasures.

Of course, Ge Xian also shares the benefits.

Even with Ergui's insistence, he, Ge Merchant, got the first choice.

The corpses of the spirits and demons were all sucked dry by Zhang Yu and Zhao Wuyou.

Obviously, this is how they practice as ghosts.

The more blood food they eat, the stronger their evil ghost appearance becomes.

There is no need for flesh and blood containing Dao Qi, nor is there any need for advanced techniques or the like. It is simple and quick, and there are no unbearable evil habits.

But when Xu Bailian, Wang's wife-in-law, the second shopkeeper of the Gong family, Song Zhengxing and other evil cultivators looked at them, there was no look of envy in their eyes.

The reason is easy to guess. No matter how powerful the two ghosts are, they will be trapped by Lu Hualong for life and will never be freed.

After getting acquainted with each other, Xu Shi was defenseless, and unexpectedly Ge Xian got a glimpse of another secret related to them, the scoundrels, and Lu Hualong himself from the conversation along the way.

"Lu Hualong is of the blood of a distinguished family. He was a genius when he was young. He was fond of being a knight and attracted many young knights to join him. Gongsun Xing, who was whipped before, was one of them. Zhang Yu and Zhao Wuyou were also the so-called 'young knights' Member Two.”

"Later, this guy joined Zhen Yelu's family and became a [Gu-eating spirit demon]. He simply ate all his childhood friends and turned them into ghosts."

"Those who surrendered, such as Zhang Zhao and the other young heroes, all benefited and became Lu Hualong's generals."

"Those who do not surrender, like Gongsun Xing, will be punished forever."

"In a sense, this group of people has fully realized the brotherhood of living and dying together."

"Of course, it only helps Lu Hualong."

Just as Ge Xian guessed, the first boundary arrived.

Thirty miles outside the city, Nantai Town has a population of more than several thousand. Due to the silk industry in the town, it is relatively prosperous and prosperous.

Even in these troubled times, this town showed no signs of decline, so when the propaganda team arrived, they hit a wall.
No matter how well the salesmen described how well Qiantang County was, how kind Lu Hualong was, and how generously he gave away money and food, only the poor people in the town who were living a more miserable life were moved.

Most people remain motionless.

Ge Xian is also in the team. He is well-born and has strong rap skills. He attracts the largest crowd of onlookers, but there are still only a few people who are interested.

He was not overjoyed to see this. He knew very well that since this town could survive in troubled times and was not targeted by demons like the "Nine Knife Village", it must have something to rely on.

Turning his eyes, he landed on the most conspicuous place in the town.

There, there was a rather luxurious palace and temple. On the plaque, four large ancient seal characters were very eye-catching.

Sanniangniang Temple!

In Ge Xian's perception, there are clearly three powerful Dao Qi in the temple.

After careful analysis, none of them are good, and the cold and bloodthirsty aura cannot be concealed at all.

"I see!"

"The people of Nantai Town worshiped monsters and spirits as their gods and worshiped them diligently. They were protected by the three-headed monster with powerful energy."

"In other words, this town has been regarded as the territory of the three demons, and the thousands of townspeople are their stored blood food. If other mountain spirits, wild monsters, and evil spirits dare to offend, they are their enemies."

"It's just that the demons have a huge appetite. What can the people of Nantai offer as sacrifices to feed them?"

"But no matter what, now that the escort is here, even if it seems to have an owner, won't the two evil generals and a group of evil cultivators rob it?"

Sure enough, he hadn't even finished these thoughts yet.

Two wild laughters resounded in the town. It was still Zhang Yu and Zhao Wuyou. The two ghosts were also very smart. They could see where the problem was with just a few glances. So they strode to the temple, and everyone The evil cultivators also laughed and rushed into the temple.

The townspeople who were still laughing and joking felt that something was wrong, but they did not dare to stop him forcefully, so the mayor stepped forward to greet him.

In the temple, there are three clay sculptures of goddesses.

At first glance, it looks quite impressive.

The one in the middle is a beautiful woman with light makeup and red face, and her eyes are like silver stars; on the left is a young beauty with green clouds in her hair and white snow on her skin; on the right is a woman with white hair like silver and skin like old pine.

While everyone was looking at it, the mayor stopped in front and introduced him respectfully:
"For your information, Shangguan, this is the temple of the three empresses: the red face, the green scales, and the silver hair."

"With the protection of Sanniang Niang, we in Nantai Town have been able to..."

Before the old mayor finished speaking, he saw that the two ghosts didn't even show their true colors.

They each took action and slapped the altar.

With a loud bang, the stone platform collapsed, immediately revealing a mountain of corpses and bones underneath. Some were old and had turned into white bones, some were fresh and still flesh and blood, and there were even half-parts of human bodies. The victims It's not dead yet, and it makes wailing sounds from time to time.

When this scene appeared, all the townspeople screamed, but it was not a howl of surprise, but a subconscious reaction after an ugly or evil thing was exposed.

Ge Xian could see clearly that many townspeople who were already parents covered their children's eyes and looked at Zhang Yu and Zhao Wuyou with angry eyes, as if blaming them for destroying the altar of the gods.

At this point, Ge Xian finally understood why Nantai Town had fed three demons.

There was a chill in his heart, and he said in disbelief:
"The entire town, thousands of people, worshiped the demon as their god."

"Capture passers-by and use them as blood sacrifices to seek blessings."
