The population of deserted villages is declining.
Looking around, there were not many people in sight, and many houses collapsed and no one cared about them.
However, this small village is full of hope. Men are planting rice in the fields, and children are fishing and catching shrimps in the nearby stream.
"I think it was my colleagues who took action to clear away all the evil spirits and restore peace and harmony to this place."
After finishing his words, Gao Qian sat cross-legged on the ground and adjusted his breathing.
After all, flying a gourd overnight, even if it's not extremely fast, is still extremely grueling and exhausting.
Lu Li agreed with his statement.
On the way here, he used the moon-taking technique many times, not only to explore Pengcheng, but also to monitor the scene near Pengze and beyond.
The more remote and isolated the place, the harder life is for people. Groups of horse bandits are everywhere. They attack villages and counties. Countless people flee into the mountains and forests. Some become delicacies in the mouths of monsters, while others choose to fall into the grass. Become a bandit and join the plundering ranks.
What impressed Lu Li the most was that in a remote mountain village in Lingnan, there was a group of wild dogs that became sperm. The people who had raised them were all sallow and thin, but these beasts were fat and strong, with red eyes and fierce expressions.
Needless to say, they have naturally tasted rice meat, and the scene manifested in the moon wheel also confirms this. They have a clear division of labor, and they form groups of three to five, besieging adult men, accompanying them in pairs, biting women, and even children. Children are not spared.
Regarding this, Lu Li wished he could see these monsters through the screen formed by the moonlight.
However, Lingnan is located in a remote area, thousands of miles away from here, and the clone of King Mingling, who is in charge of the entire southern Zhili, cannot enforce the law across the border.
"The gods in the ten directions, as numerous as sand and dust, have transformed into the realms of the ten directions, helped and saved the heavens and people, gathered their merits, and worked together to save..."
Fortunately, a passing Taoist priest wielded a sword to slay demons, and recited the "Singing Sutra" to save the wronged souls, resolve their grievances, and order them to be reincarnated.
And this incident also strengthened Lu Li's belief.
Just as he was thinking about this, Gao Qian, who was sitting on the ground, finished adjusting his breath, stood up again, and suggested:
"Boss, let's go find a villager and ask about the situation."
"Walk."
At night, Lu Li used the moon harvesting technique to explore the area around Hongze for a long time within a hundred miles, but could not find any trace of anyone. Therefore, he needed to get information from nearby villagers.
Shortly after.
A thin man wiped his forehead, picked up a bowl of water from the ridge, handed it to Gao Qian, who was dressed as a Taoist priest, and said with a simple smile:
"My family is poor, so I can only ask the Taoist priest to drink a bowl of water with salt."
Although the thing was not worth mentioning, it was the only way for the farmers to replenish their strength. Under such tired conditions, they gave it away without any hesitation. Their admiration was beyond words.
To repay the favor, Gao Qian took out a blood pill from the yellow-skinned gourd, and then used his palm to summon a wisp of fire to refine the evil spirit in front of his face.
There are no auxiliary materials in it, just dragon blood. Therefore, the effect is relatively simple. It can strengthen the user's vitality and eliminate various accumulated injuries.
Just like that, after a few words of explanation, the farmer swallowed the hard-looking and fragrant blood pill without any hesitation, sat in the field, and answered Lu Li and Gao Qian's questions seriously.
"The old village chief of our village who was rich and unkind has been found dead. His nails were so long, his teeth were so sharp, and he would spray smelly black mist from his mouth..."
"Fortunately, several Taoist priests arrived in time and subdued it in a few seconds."
"Then I went to the rich family's house to grab some glutinous rice and brought it back to help the injured get rid of the corpse spirit."
After some calculations, Lu Li understood the situation, which was not much different from what he expected, so he asked, "What do those fellow Taoists look like and what are their methods?"
"One uses a yellow talisman, one can shoot thunder in his hands, and the other is riding a striking white-fronted tiger. He is about the same size as the black bull behind you, like a small mountain."
"It's just as expected." Gao Qian nodded, looked at Lu Li, and continued, "It's really Duke."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man, who was gradually getting stronger and stronger, added: "The other two Taoists called him Pan..."
After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't say his name.
Lu Li couldn't help but ask: "Pan Ming?"
"Yep!"
The man couldn't help but nod.
Gao Qian's eyes widened. How could the boss have such wrong information?
Of course, whoever it is, it’s good news and has no impact on the situation.
what happened?
Is the mysterious light mirror in the Lingwang Palace not working?
Obviously, Lu Li didn't want to believe it, so he immediately lifted up the soil on the ground with his hand and made two human faces. It couldn't be said to be lifelike, it was simply vivid and lifelike.
On the left, Pan Ming.
On the right, Duke.
The details of the face are extremely detailed, almost indistinguishable from the original figure.
"which one?"
"Left."
“How does this person behave?”
"He is enthusiastic and talkative. After killing the zombies, he made the decision for us and punished the squires in the village who were unkind for their wealth."
"Um."
Hearing this, Lu Li nodded and said nothing, while Gao Qian next to him was thoughtful.
"Do you know where they went?"
"Hong Ze."
The three of them stood up. The man felt the changes in his body and added seriously:
"There is a dragon demon entrenched there. Several Taoist priests went to get rid of the demon, but they have not returned yet."
"Jiao?" Lu Li was surprised, "Is there any strange phenomenon?"
"It was windy and rainy, and huge waves were set off on the lake. We didn't dare to get close to fish. About half an hour later, the rain subsided, the sun appeared again, and the lake was extremely calm."
The two looked at each other and said nothing.
This scene is very familiar to them. Isn't it a replica of the two-clawed green dragon that killed the Yangtze River Dragon God?
It's just not clear why the wrath of the sky was calmed down so quickly, and who should replace the original Dragon God.
"All doubts cleared. Thank you for your answer, fellow man. Let's say goodbye." Lu Li already had the answer in his mind and was unwilling to wait any longer. He turned around and prepared to leave.
Gao Qian's face was full of excitement: "It seems that we are in good luck, and we have to go to the Dragon Palace again."
"Please leave your names so that I can set up a memorial tablet for immortality at home so that future generations can worship it day and night to repay your great kindness."
The farmer who calls himself "Little Old Man" is not old at all now. His muscles are taut and bulging out of his previously loose clothes, and this is all due to the magical effect of the dragon's blood.
"No, no need."
"Now you have the power of nine cows and two tigers. In the eyes of ordinary people, you can be regarded as almost a god. In the future, you will benefit your father and fellow villagers, open more roads and build bridges, and protect one side."
The sound came from far away.
Gao Qian didn't take any credit. He raised and lowered his steps, and in an instant, he appeared at the entrance of the village.
In the next moment, he completely disappeared from the sight of the strong man.
"Moo!"
In a few moments, the Bull Demon carried Lu Li to a giant lake.
As the fellow villagers said, the fish were playing and jumping out of the water from time to time. It was so peaceful that it was hard to imagine that there had been a scene of world destruction here not long ago.
"Get in the water, hehe, this guy Duke always has some new tricks up his sleeve."
"I actually pretended to be Pan Ming this time."
