The escape distance of the smoke escape technique is not far. This is not a disadvantage of the tiger demon's escape, but it is where Dong Zhongshu notices trouble.
He glanced at the villagers lying in the sacrificial site crying in pain, and then looked at the lights in the darkness.
"Brother Xu, does your Nong Sect have a way to find monsters and identify ghosts?" Dong Zhongshu asked.
"Aren't you capable of identifying this monk?"
The calm look on Xu Ji's face didn't last for more than a few seconds, and then it turned ugly.
Ordinary little demons don't have many abilities, they only have some strong bodies and are able to wield swords and swords, but some older demons have grown in knowledge.
As for the tiger demon that can use the magical power of demons to manipulate ghosts, the opponent can not only learn some possible human magic techniques through this magical power, but also has the ability to live in human social groups.
Looking at the many villagers who were knocked down by Dong Zhongshu's strength, Xu Ji felt that things were getting into trouble.
Several cries rang out in the village, and he had already heard the sounds of many villagers coming to this place with knives and arrows.
"I'm not very good at looking at things. It's okay to look at little monsters, but it's hard to identify old monsters that live in human villages all year round." Dong Zhongshu frowned.
His Qi Awareness Technique originated from the Qi Watching Technique of the Yin Yang Jiutian Sect. It can be learned by the Confucian lineage, so naturally this Qi Awareness Technique is incomplete.
When dealing with some low-end cases, Qi Awareness is invincible.
But when it comes to high-end problems, the effect of Qi Awareness is reduced.
The tiger demon definitely fits this category.
Although the opponent was old and frail, lacking the bravery of his youth and relying more on magic. He was defeated in Dong Zhongshu's hands with only three moves and two moves, but the tiger demon's realm was real.
"This tiger demon is good at the art of ghost hunting. I am afraid he has the ability to interchange between the demon body and the ghost ghost!" Xu Ji said.
"Not only that, he can also rely on ghosts to possess him and turn into a human being, making it difficult for us to distinguish which villagers are normal and which are abnormal!"
Dong Zhongshu shook his head.
A demon that runs away can always track down its lair, but a demon that hides in the crowd is difficult to deal with.
The other party will even borrow people to deal with them.
As long as they are law-abiding people and not unscrupulous lunatics, such people will not slaughter villagers wantonly.
And if it is another kind of person, this kind of person is more motivated by interests, and it is definitely difficult to have the idea of eliminating demons and ensuring the safety of the surrounding area.
The former can be targeted by normal people, while the latter has difficulty interacting with tiger monsters.
In this mountain village, the tiger demon is almost the uncrowned king.
Unless you can catch him and kill him with one blow, you will definitely be targeted by the tiger demon.
Dong Zhongshu snorted. When he asked Xu Ji for help to treat the merchant group, he heard the noisy sounds outside getting closer and closer.
"It's those outsiders who beat up our villagers. Everyone is lying in the ancestral hall unable to get up!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill the outsiders!"
…
Among the mixed voices were old women, old farmers, young adults, boys and girls, and young children shouting and cheering.
The sound approached quickly, and Dong Zhongshu could even see the hoe held by the young man in the lead, and someone else started to pull the string with a bow.
"Everyone, there is a tiger demon causing trouble in your village. It eats people and uses its magical powers to turn into ghosts and harm people. It also found your village..."
Before Xu Ji could finish shouting explanations, a bamboo-cut arrow flew over in the darkness.
This kind of arrow is not as good as the army's feather arrow, but it is still very lethal.
He drew his bow and fired an arrow from dozens of meters away, and one arrow hit Xu Ji's chest.
Bright red blood gushed out, and Xu Ji no longer cared about persuading the bewitched villagers. He covered his chest and quickly pushed and locked the ancestral hall door.
"You guys run away..."
The middle-aged man who had been gambling before struggled to get up and was about to utter a threat when he was knocked down with a stick by the young man Xu Ji was leading.
"Xu Yuan, you must not be too harsh. These people have no choice but to be coerced by monsters," Xu Ji said.
"In my opinion, these scheming dogs should be chopped to death," the young man said, "They poisoned passers-by, and I don't know how many innocent people have died over the years."
"As long as those evildoers are eliminated, they will no longer be able to harm others, and they will naturally become good people in the future," Xu Ji said.
"Then let's just forget about them harming people?"
It was difficult for the young man to understand Xu Ji's teachings, which made Xu Ji sigh and just tighten the door of the ancestral hall a little tighter.
"If you are not facing life and death, you will never know how low the lower limit is for survival." Xu Ji said: "If these villagers catch you and me, and they let you go out to lure a tourist and let me go, will you go and do it?"
"I……"
The young man hesitated for a moment.
If he was beaten and killed, he would not be able to say anything.
But if he really had to face the situation Xu Ji said, there was no way he would do anything wrong to save Xu Ji.
"After you did such a thing, they fed me good food and drink, but refused to let me go, and asked you to deceive another passenger. What should you do?" Xu Ji said, "As long as you have done such a thing It’s hard to guarantee that you won’t do it a second time later, and then you get used to it and become completely depraved!”
Xu Ji pointed at the villagers who had been beaten to the ground by the tiger demon, indicating that the reason for these people's depravity also stemmed from this.
Even the families of these villagers are here, and their fields are here, and they have little ability to make a living outside. They are even more tied up.
Xu Ji wouldn't be surprised if the entire village fell into it.
“Farmers attach great importance to the education of compassion for farmers!”
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou getting up from the ground and looking at Xu Ji and Xu Yuan curiously, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but shrugged.
A deranged beating is about to take place, and the peasant school is still preaching.
It would be difficult for monks from other schools to do this. For example, the Yin Yang family would not care about the villagers. They would fight if they could, and leave if they couldn't. The life and death of the villagers was not a concern of the Yin Yang family. If they encountered a military strategist, they would attack the leader of the thieves. , punish the evildoers in the first place, and beat the blind followers in the first place, but if you encounter the Legalist monks, you can't help but execute the law immediately, regardless of whether you have the power of the court to enforce the law. The Legalist monks stipulate one by one, and it is not surprising to directly execute the execution. .
Confucian people like to reason.
Dong Zhongshu rolled up his sleeves, obviously ready to 'reason'.
He couldn't persuade these villagers with his words, so he could only put them down.
"Dongfang Shuo, please stop Brother Xu's bleeding." Dong Zhongshu said: "Brother Xu, these people in our business group have some martial arts skills. Please revive them, so that our number can increase!"
"This, this, this, and this are all very good!"
After Zhang Xuezhou used Taiqing Zhenshu to stop Xu Ji's bleeding, he pointed at the two guests and the two grooms in the business group.
As a large family in Shujun City, the Zhao family is not bad in strength. Even the horseman's fists and kicks can deal with three or five villagers, and Keqing has no problem dealing with ten or eight villagers.
This is not to say that it is difficult for everyone to defeat the villagers with martial arts, but it is extremely difficult to subdue dozens or hundreds of people without killing the villagers.
A light blow has no effect, a heavy blow can easily lead to death.
They don't even have access to weapons.
In addition, one must also be prepared for possible sneak attacks by the tiger demon. It is difficult to determine the scale of attack, and there are also extremely high response requirements.
Even Dong Zhongshu was not relaxed at the moment.
He looked at the door bolts that were constantly clashing, and quickly urged Xu Ji to help.
"This purple golden vine likes to eat evil spirits, but it has no ability to subdue evil spirits, so it can only rely on us to cast spells. Xu Yuan, when you cast spells..."
Perhaps because he lacked confidence in Zhang Xuezhou's technique, Xu Ji did not pull out the bamboo arrow from his chest.
He struggled with his body and murmured about the magical effects of purple vine.
Rather than saying that this was a farmer's education, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Xu Ji lacked confidence in everyone, and it was more like explaining the aftermath.
When Xu Ji hit the green grass that he had spat out before, Xu Ji dispersed the gray mist in the green grass, then stuffed the grass into the mouths of the Zhao family, and while casting the spell, the gray mist on the grass dispersed. Keep coming together.
Zhang Xuezhou took a deep breath, and he was glad that he had some skills, so he didn't have to stuff the dumplings that others had eaten into his mouth.
When Zhang Debiao, the guest minister who was being treated by Xu Ji, screamed and rolled over, the door bolt of the ancestral hall door was cut off with a hatchet inserted through the crack of the door.
In just an instant, the door was violently pushed open, and a dark crowd suddenly poured in with various farm tools and knives.
