The Bloody Taoist

In a remote mountain village outside the city, the dilapidated houses looked particularly ordinary in the sunset.

In the house, the woman stood quietly like a puppet. The Black Mountain Altar Master in her body heard the reports of Wuxi and Shixin from the entrance of the village, and doubts and surprises arose in her heart.

"You two leave quickly, don't stay, I will look for you." His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

Then, a black mucus slowly flowed out of the mouth of the woman he possessed. When the mucus came into contact with the air, it turned into a black light and penetrated into the body of a lying civet cat next to it like lightning.

The civet cat twitched suddenly, then calmed down after a moment, and its eyes became as dark as ink, flashing with a strange light.

It jumped up, with a strong and vigorous posture, quickly jumped out of the yard and ran towards the outside of the village.

At the same time, Wu Xi and Shi Xin drove a carriage aimlessly on the official road outside the village. Their expressions were solemn and their hearts were full of fear.

Not long after, the tanuki caught up with the carriage.

It jumped onto the carriage lightly. When the two saw the civet cat's dark eyes, they immediately understood that the thing in front of them was the incarnation of the Lord of the Black Mountain Altar.

"I've met the Altar Master!" The two of them immediately saluted respectfully, with awe in their voices.

"Take out the letter and let me read it."

A hoarse command came from the civet cat, which made people shudder.

Master Wuxi did not dare to neglect and quickly presented the letter to the leader of the Black Mountain Altar.

Under the control of the Black Mountain Altar Master, the civet cat stood upright on its hind legs, its two front paws expanded rapidly, and then tore apart, like human hands.

"Jie Jie Jie, that's interesting!" Heishan Altar Master looked at the letter and couldn't help but let out a burst of sinister laughter, "The food on the plate dares to talk to me? Hahaha!

Shixin, are you sure it's that child? "

"I have carefully distinguished it. The smell of blood on this letter is indeed that child's. It is correct!" Master Shi Xin said with certainty!

Zuo Yinyang had already guessed that there must be something fishy about Liu Baozi's sudden return. He was obviously designed by evil witches to lead him back to Xianshan County.

As for how these evil witches would use him, Zuo Yinyang had a rough guess in his mind.

It was nothing more than indirectly controlling Liu Baozi, the servant of Shifang Inn, through Liu Erzhu, and then using Liu Baozi to get close to him.

Therefore, Zuo Yin Yang was already prepared.

Using the cover of the blood coffin, he took advantage of the opportunity to practice in the coffin to avoid surveillance from all parties, and extracted colorless serum from the flesh and blood on his back.

Then, he scrawled what he wanted to convey on a piece of ordinary letter paper with serum. After the serum dried, he used ordinary ink to write some insignificant things about Liu Erzhu and Liu Baozi to cover up the real message.

Finally, he took advantage of the opportunity of summoning Liu Erzhu and handed him the letter and asked him to take the letter back to Zhang Mansion.

Since these evil witches are proficient in bloody sacrifices, they must have the opportunity to discover the secrets in the letter.

Of course, if these evil witches don't find out, Zuo Yinyang has prepared other methods.

Zuo Yinyang's current plan is to take the initiative and contact them secretly.

What he wrote in the letter was: "I know who you are! I am the sacrifice you want! I want to talk to you! Chat in private!"

"It seems that this kid is not simple either. He is not willing to be used as bait by others!" The leader of the Black Mountain Altar pondered for a moment and whispered to himself.

"Altar Master, could this be a trap?" Master Wuxi asked worriedly.

The leader of the Black Mountain Altar sneered, a hint of fanaticism flashed in his eyes:

"Whether it's a trap or not, I'm becoming more and more interested in this little guy.

It’s good to be unwilling, but the chess pieces that are unwilling are the most interesting! Jie Jie Jie! "

The laughter gradually dissipated, and the leader of the Black Mountain altar regained his composure. He ordered: "You should return to Xianshan County immediately and continue to implement the original plan!"

Wuxi and Shixin looked at each other. Although they had doubts in their hearts, they still responded: "Altar Master, we have been exposed, do we still want to go back?"

"idiot!"

The leader of the Black Mountain Altar snorted coldly, "Who said you were exposed? Now only that boy can guess your whereabouts. He tried his best to get this letter into your hands, so he will definitely not tell anyone else about it.

I don’t know his specific plans, but I’m sure that he and the forces behind him are not of the same mind.

Go back as soon as possible, I will make my own arrangements for the next thing. "

Although the two felt that something was wrong, they could only bite the bullet and said: "As you command!"

"Keep staring at the inn and don't expose any flaws again!" The leader of the Black Mountain Altar said in a cold tone that left no room for doubt.

Before he finished speaking, the civet cat turned into a puddle of black water.

······

A few more days passed.

On this day, Jiang Lingzi came back in a hurry from outside, his face full of helplessness.

He walked straight to the backyard and called out Zuo Yinyang and He Qingni.

"You two, would you like to go out of the city with me to perform a mission?" Jiang Lingzi's voice was low, with a hint of displeasure.

Zuo Yinyang stood aside with a calm expression and did not answer immediately.

However, He Qingni's face was full of confusion and asked: "Senior Jiang Lingzi, Fellow Daoist Zuo and I have not taken over any tasks yet, so why do we need to leave the city?"

In the past few days, He Qingni went to Qintian Prison many times, but every time he brought back a mission, Zuo Yinyang refused for various reasons, which made He Qingni feel quite resentful.

When Jiang Lingzi saw this, he didn't beat around the bush and explained the whole story in a few words.

As Zuo Yinyang expected, Jiang Lingzi also joined the Qintian Prison of Nanchu Kingdom on the recommendation of Pei Xingmou.

He originally planned to take this opportunity to directly participate in the strange situation, but Pei Xingmou arranged for him to go to Shifang Inn to take charge of Zuo Yinyang's safety.

He originally thought that this was just a temporary arrangement. After staying in the inn for a few days, Pei Xingmou would return.

However, more than ten days have passed, and there is still no news from Pei Xingmou, with no sign of his return.

Early this morning, he suddenly received an urgent notice from the Qintian Prison and was assigned to perform a mandatory task.

As a newly promoted patrol envoy, Jiang Lingzi naturally could not refuse, otherwise he would not be able to live in the Southern Chu Kingdom in the future.

After weighing the situation, he felt that the most appropriate way was to bring Zuo Yinyang with him to complete the task together.

After listening to Jiang Lingzi's explanation, Zuo Yinyang frowned slightly and asked: "Since it is a mandatory mission, it is really hard for me to refuse, senior. I wonder what the content of the mission sent by Qin Tianjian is?"

Jiang Lingzi smiled, glanced at the two of them, and said, "The mission is quite simple, and it has some relevance to you two."

He Qingni's heart tightened when he heard this. Thinking of the last encounter, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened. He hurriedly asked: "Aren't you going to check out that strange place again?

"Hmph, you think it's quite beautiful. It would be great if you could let me go to the treacherous realm." Jiang Lingzi glanced at him with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

He paused and then said:

"Remember that demon snake you let go last time?

After the monster escaped back to Cangmang Mountain, it leaked the news about the strange situation.

Nowadays, many big monsters in the Cangmang Mountain already know that this strange place may be the cemetery of the ancient monster clan, and naturally they want to get a piece of the pie.

Now, a tiger demon has come to Heiyun Mountain. I heard that he is the son of Lord Lu Shan. This demon not only has profound cultivation and has reached the realm of the unity of Gang and Sha, but also brought several powerful demon clans in the mountain.

At present, they are confronting the human monks near the strange environment, and the entire Black Cloud Mountain is already full of dangers. "

He Qingni's face turned pale, and he was filled with fear. He couldn't help but ask: "Are we going to go to war with the demon clan? This mission is too dangerous!"

Jiang Lingzi sneered, shook his head, and said: "Haha, the various sects have to worry about starting a war, and it has nothing to do with you casual cultivators.

Moreover, the two tribes of humans and monsters have not had any large-scale conflicts for thousands of years. How could they start a war over a small strange situation? It's just a small-scale fight. "

He paused slightly and then said: "My mission here is only to protect a group of mortals and move them safely from Black Cloud Mountain to the towns behind.

This task is not difficult to say, as long as 80% of the population survive.

As long as you two are willing to go with me, there won't be any big risks in this mission. "

Hearing that there was no need to confront the demon clan head-on, He Qingni breathed a sigh of relief and put a smile on his face again.

"This is a good mission. It's the easiest to escort a mortal. Fellow Daoist Zuo, please get your identity card quickly. This can be considered a stable job."
