A thatched shed stands alone beside the official road leading to Datong County.
The official road has been in disrepair for a long time, and the ground is full of pits and deep marks left by the wheels.
It was midday, and there was no sign of any pedestrians on the road. Old Zhang stood in front of the shed and looked around, with a look of disappointment on his face full of ravines.
There doesn't seem to be much business today.
He touched the head of his grandson who was dozing next to him and sighed softly.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew into the hut.
There is a crisp ringtone in the wind.
Old Zhang's head suddenly perked up and he immediately looked around to follow the sound.
I saw Big Green Donkey coming from a distance, and there was a young Daoist sitting on the back of a donkey.
The donkey's hooves clattered and his steps were brisk, and he arrived in front of the hay shed in a blink of an eye.
Old Zhang nodded and bowed in greeting. "Master Daoist, the weather is so hot, would you like to have a sip of cold tea and rest?"
Southern Shao and Four Seasons are not clear. Although it is late autumn, the temperature is still very high.
"Ah uh~"
Before the Daoist Master could speak, Big Green Donkey nodded in agreement - he was so exhausted!
"You lazy ass!"
The ordinary-looking young Daoist priest flashed his eyes, smiled and patted the green donkey on the head.
He turned over and jumped off the donkey's back. "Then let's take a rest and drink some tea, and then feed my donkey some fodder."
"Okay!"
Old Zhang smiled and took the reins, tying the green donkey next to the shaded hay shed.
He said loudly, "Xiao Liu, hurry up and get bales of fodder to feed the donkeys!"
The half-grown boy woke up from his dream, hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and ran to grab the fodder from behind the shed.
Old Zhang diligently wiped the table with a rag and poured a full bowl of tea for the Daoist who had just sat down.
"Daoist Priest, this is my home-brewed herbal tea. It clears away heat, detoxifies, reduces fire and removes dampness. Would you like to try it?"
The ordinary-looking young Daoist priest, Wang Chen, picked up the stoneware teacup, brought it to his mouth and took a big sip.
He nodded. "Not bad."
"Drink more."
Old Zhang smiled and narrowed his eyes, "I just picked the melon this morning, do you want one?"
He pointed to the fruits piled nearby.
Wang Chen asked with great interest, "Old man, does your melon stay ripe?"
Old Zhang was stunned for a moment. "Look what you said, I, who sells melons at a stall, can I sell you raw melon eggs?"
"That's impossible to say."
Wang Chen said meaningfully, "I don't think you are human. This melon may not be a ripe melon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Zhang's expression suddenly changed, veins sprouted on his forehead, his face that originally had a flattering smile suddenly distorted, and his eyes revealed a bloodthirsty ferocity.
"Daoist Master, don't drink tea carelessly, and don't speak carelessly!"
His whole body was trembling, the fingers of his hands were clenched into eagle talons, and his nails silently became long and sharp!
"Ha!"
Wang Chen opened his mouth and laughed.
A water arrow shot out from his throat and instantly hit Old Zhang's head in the face.
It was the tea I just drank!
"Ah!"
Old Zhang's head suddenly let out a shrill scream, and the skin on his face was torn and bloody, revealing white bones.
He staggered back a few steps, suddenly jumped into the air, and flew towards Wang Chen.
His movements are as quick and agile as those of an ape!
However, a large net appeared out of thin air, completely covering Old Zhang's head.
He suddenly fell to the ground, rolling and wailing loudly, with traces of gray smoke coming out of his body.
At this moment, Old Zhang's grandson appeared behind Wang Chen like a ghost, holding a dagger and stabbed Earth Spike hard on Wang Chen's vest.
But Wang Chen seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He waved his sleeves sideways and slapped the opponent hard.
The half-grown child suddenly flew upside down like a kite with its string broken, and countless bones in his body were broken.
"Ah~"
He fell to the ground and let out a miserable howl that was not like a human being. Sharp white bones protruded from his body. Black air lingered on his originally pretty face, and his eyes turned crimson!
Wang Chen shook his head and reached out to take back Evil-Exorcising Net, which had "digested" Old Zhang's head.
He shrank his right hand and released Evil-Exorcising Net again.
Let the grandparents and grandchildren be reunited.
In fact, it is not very accurate to say "people", because they have long been possessed by Evil Spirits, and there is not much humanity left.
When all humanity is eliminated, you will become the real Evil Spirits!
Wang Chen took back Evil-Exorcising Net and sat down again at the small table.
You can't drink herbal tea. It's obviously mixed with something similar to sweat medicine.
Because herbal tea itself is made from herbs, ordinary people cannot drink it at all and it is very easy to get drunk.
After thinking about it, Wang Chen photographed a melon on the ground.
He held up his finger as a blade, cut open the fruit and tasted it.
The melon is ripe and the taste is still very sweet. Even Wang Chen, who has long since left the world, does not feel uncomfortable eating it.
What a pity!
Being able to grow such melons, I guess this old man is also a good hand at farm work.
As a result, both grandfather and grandson were killed by Evil Spirits.
He thought to himself that the melon meat in his mouth was no longer so sweet.
"Ah uh! Ah uh~"
Big Green Donkey's call made Wang Chen suddenly wake up.
He laughed dumbly and threw the remaining half of the melon at Big Green Donkey's feet.
The latter immediately started to feast.
This guy was bought by Wang Chen in the donkey and mule market half a month ago. After feeding a Spirit Peach, he actually became somewhat spiritual, and then followed him throughout the three counties of Southern Shao, Taide County, Three Rivers County and Zeyang.
In the past half month, Wang Chen based on the intelligence investigated by the Exorcism Hall, cleaned up many Evil Spirits in Southern Shao.
And these Evil Spirits have all become the spiritual power in Heavenly Net to Punish Evil!
Evil Spirits in the human world is undoubtedly an extremely terrifying existence to ordinary people, but in the eyes of Wang Chen, it is just a cultivation resource that can be easily harvested.
His next stop is the last Datong County city that he has not been to yet.
When Big Green Donkey had filled his stomach and Wang Chen was about to hit the road again, he suddenly felt something in his heart.
He reached over the bundle of fodder that was thrown on the ground and sniffed it.
Wang Chen smelled a very faint smell of corpse.
He immediately came to the back of the hay shed and soon discovered the clues.
Underground covered with weeds, there were dozens of corpses buried, most of them dressed as farmers, and a few strong Martial Artist. All of them had been sucked dry of Essence Blood, and their deaths were very miserable.
Apparently he was victimized by Evil Spirits.
Wang Chen sighed, dug them all out and put them into the hay shed.
If these corpses are allowed to be buried here, sooner or later new Evil Spirits, wandering spirits or walking corpses will be born.
A huge Fire Crow was thrown into the hayloft, and blazing flames shot into the sky.
"Ashes return to ashes, soil returns to earth, dead souls return to thick soil..."
Wang Chen silently recited Rebirth Incantation in his heart, and prayed for these victims.
This life is all suffering, may you enjoy peace in the next life.
He rode on Big Green Donkey and walked along the official road towards Datong County city.
The world of mortals is a vast mist. I am looking for a way to find my own way. I ask who is good after a thousand miles. The windy road is the future...
