Li Huaiyun saw a middle-aged man jumping out of the house. The man looked excited, opened his hands and pressed against the door. Inside were two women who wanted to squeeze out.
One old and one young, one can tell at a glance that they are the man's wife and daughter.
"You still want to follow me, you are so shameless. What's going on at home now!"
The man shouted hysterically, "That gym is just killing people."
The two women inside the door were talking to each other but they didn't take it seriously. Their eyes were a little dull and they didn't say anything. They still squeezed toward the door like zombies.
The look of fanaticism and adoration is puzzling.
Seeing that the middle-aged man could no longer stop them, Li Huaiyun and A Tian looked at each other, then stood behind the man, and worked together to push the man and the two women into the house.
They also entered the house and closed the door.
"who are you?"
The older man asked warily. He stopped the two women with his hands. Although they were unconscious, the man still protected them in front of them.
However, the man's wife and woman ignored the obstruction and tried to bypass them and ran out the door, but were knocked unconscious by the two of them.
When the man saw this, he thought the two of them were trying to do something wrong. He immediately picked up farm tools from the wall and faced them, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
He glanced at his wife and daughter lying on the ground from time to time, "If you dare to touch them at all, I will fight you!"
Li Huaiyun picked up the token from his waist and said, "Old man, don't be nervous, we are the demon hunters of the Demon Slayer Division!"
"Demon Slayer Division!"
Hearing this, the old man tremblingly put down the farm tools and knelt directly on the ground with tears on his face. The look was touching, "Demon Slayer Division, the imperial court has finally sent people down. If we don't come, this Xiakou Town will really be over." !”
"Old man! You must give this gift!" Li Huaiyun and A Tian helped the man kneeling on the ground.
"Tell me in detail!"
This middle-aged man is a farmer in Xiakou Town. He has been farming here for generations and his life is not too difficult.
But I don’t know when a fortune teller appeared in Xiakou Town, and later he built a gym. No one knows the exact location.
At first, few people went there to burn incense and worship. However, because the yellow talismans produced there were very effective in ensuring peace, the incense gradually began to flourish.
Many people in the town go there to worship and pray for peace on weekdays.
But later, in order to attract more believers, the Taoist temple said that if the incense money given reached a certain amount, they would get a special jade product that protects peace.
At the beginning, very few people donated incense money for that object. But once someone got the thing and publicized it, more and more people would donate incense for the object.
Li Huaiyun took out the jade carving in his hand, "Old man, is this the jade product you are talking about?"
When the old farmer saw the jade carving, he had a look of horror on his face and pointed at the jade carving with his trembling arms, "Yes, this is it. I took it to the pawn shop and only got three taels of silver in exchange for it."
He covered his eyes and cried softly, "They secretly spent their family's savings for many years, but what they got in exchange is only worth so much."
Listening to the old farmer's miserable experience, the two became even more angry at the gym's practices.
"Having this thing has completely driven the two of them crazy. What they want to do every day is not to work, but to worship in the gym!"
The expression on the old farmer's face gradually turned into anger, "When the people from the gym sent them back, I saw with my own eyes that the beasts in the gym attacked my daughter!"
He could not hide his anger at this time, "I don't know why they became like this."
A Tian clenched the handle of the knife, and his anger became even more intense, "Damn it, old man, why didn't you report it to the official!"
"Report to the official? The official is also their believer and helps them. I can only stop them every day. If I don't stop them, I don't know what will happen."
Who are the people in this gym?
Li Huaiyun asked, "There are people like you who took this jade sculpture to a pawn shop, right?"
"Yes! But there are only a small number of people, and the jade carvings have no value at all! Those people basically suffered heavy losses,"
"For those who worship, there is no one working on the farmland and their family savings are all spent, but this still does not stop them from going to worship. Therefore, some people sell their wives and daughters."
"It's too much!" A Tian became angrier as he listened. He gritted his teeth and knocked lightly on the wall. "It's just like a cult. It's just knocking on the bones and sucking out the marrow."
Li Huaiyun then asked, "The people from the Taoist Hall were walking along the streets of the town with the believers just now. They were going to the Taoist Hall, right?"
"Yes, it is said that when a true king descends to earth, he needs to be greeted with the biggest grand scene once a month. At that time, the entire gym will be performing some kind of ceremony. I guess someone will give money to him at that time. "
Li Huaiyun thought to himself, once a month, could this damn true king be a woman?
"Old man, how did your wife and daughter join in? We want to get into the parade first."
The old farmer walked into the inner room and took out the gray hooded robe. "In order to prevent them from going, I hid these clothes. As long as you are a female believer, I will give you this robe."
Li Huaiyun took the handed robe and joined the team as a female believer?
He felt his anus tighten, but there was no other good way to do it now. It was almost time and the parade was about to end.
"Old man, do you know the route?"
"They all left at the entrance of the town!"
"Okay! I'll leave it to our Demon Slayer Division later. We must destroy this evil gym."
With tears in his eyes, the old farmer knelt on the ground again, and then thanked him, "You two, we must destroy this gym. We cannot let them continue to harm people."
The two of them reached out and pulled up the old farmer, "Don't worry!"
Li Huaiyun and A Tian walked out of the house and looked in the direction of the parade. They turned into the alley, ready to put on their hoods and blend in.
A Tian was a little timid, he knew what he was facing.
"Ah Yun, we should notify the Demon Slayer Department first! It would be very dangerous to sneak in so rashly."
Li Huaiyun explained, "The main reason is that the round trip time is too long. Even if we don't stop for a moment, it will take nearly half an hour."
"As long as they leave the town, they have to wait for a month. The people in the town can't wait, let alone the real king who just ran away."
He looked around this desolate street with solemn eyes, "We can wait, but the people in this town can't wait. The longer they wait, the more vigilant they will be."
A Tian still insisted on his own opinion in his heart and felt that it was too dangerous to sneak in rashly. After all, they were now isolated and helpless. If they were discovered, with their cultivation, they would not be crushed into pieces. The monster was so powerful that they Already seen it.
"I still think it's inappropriate to sneak in like this. It's too dangerous! It's only right to inform the Demon Slayer Division first."
Li Huaiyun frowned and looked at the gray robe in his hand, "That's it. You go back and report first, and let the Demon Slayer Division send someone over, while I sneak in alone."
"This... this is inappropriate. You are alone and without care, and it is even more dangerous!"
Li Huaiyun smiled calmly, "It's okay! Don't worry about me. After all, I still have a secret weapon on me. It won't be a problem to last for an hour or two. Just leave as soon as possible. The sooner you come, the safer I will be."
A Tian pondered for a moment, and then nodded, thinking that this guy had to adapt to circumstances before and avoid many dangers, so this time he should not be in trouble.
"That's it, I'll leave here first, you be careful."
"Well! If you go from other places in the town, if you meet someone at the entrance of the town, you will be in trouble!"
At this time, a crow stopped on the edge of the house and made a shrill cry.
Li Huaiyun looked at A Tian's back and thought that since A Tian's accident in the water prison, he has become much more timid than before and no longer has that kind of impulse. In other words, he is stable.
Maybe it’s because of this woman Fang Yuan!
He put on his hood, then jumped to the roof. With his quick skills, he ran on the eaves and quickly approached the parade.
Then he hid on a roof. After observing the route of the team, he chose to hide in an alley that must pass through the street.
As long as the parade passed by there, he could blend directly into the procession.
Dark crows circled overhead.
After waiting patiently for a while, he finally found an opportunity and got into the team.
At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and the breeze kept blowing paper money and leaves on the ground.
Li Huaiyun pulled his hood down and lowered his head so that no one could see his entire face. In order not to be seen through, he also deliberately imitated the way a woman walks and twisted his hips.
This woman is really having trouble walking!
The parade was relatively long, and the people around him were all dressed in this way, and these people were basically women. Their eyes were dull and their faces were a little flushed. Like he has experienced something.
Li Huai used his peripheral vision to look around the team and saw those men with strong muscles who maintained order. From time to time, they left the team and came to the house on the street. They were holding cloth bags in their hands. Someone threw silver taels into the bag from the crack in the door. , and soon the bag was filled to the brim!
The people in this town are already very embarrassed, and they still have to come up with money! This gym is too evil.
He became more and more curious about who the fortune teller who built the Taoist temple was, and what his relationship was with the man in black robe. They were probably the same person. .
After the parade arrived at the entrance of the town, they took a short rest and then walked out of the town.
At this time, those who looked like guards took out a commonly used bell from their pockets and began to shake it. The clear ringing sound echoed in their ears, as if they were summoning something.
Then, a lot of white talismans floated down from above the team's heads, and heavy fog gradually appeared in front of them, making it difficult to see the surroundings.
Accompanied by the ringing of bells and talismans, the team entered the heavy fog and walked forward.
After walking in the fog for a while, I finally arrived in front of the gym when the fog dispersed.
Li Huaiyun wondered how he could pass through the fog when he couldn't see anything in the fog. He turned his head and glanced back, and found that behind the team was a narrow and winding mountain road.
When we came here, the road was obviously flat, but why was there this mountain road behind us?
He raised his head full of doubts and looked at the archway in front of the steps up the mountain. It was covered with moss, overgrown with weeds, and dilapidated. The carvings and writing on the archway were blurred.
When Li Huaiyun saw the stone statues on both sides of the archway, he felt a little uncomfortable.
