Li Daoxuan returned to the room again, thinking to himself.
The most important thing the empress sent him here was to find Zhao's soul. Although the strangeness of this village made people want to find out, it was not the most important thing.
The most urgent task is to find Zhao's soul first, so that he will not resort to traps and can take bold action.
After thinking for a moment, Li Daoxuan used his earth magic power.
His body suddenly disappeared into the room, escaped into the ground, and headed outside the house.
Xue Rengui frowned slightly outside the door. For some reason, he just had an illusion, as if something was passing by underground.
Shaking his head, he felt that this Yaowang Village was getting weirder and weirder.
But no matter what, he will try his best to protect his husband and repay his life-saving grace!
With this thought in mind, he found a piece of wood in the courtyard and prepared to make a bow. His original iron bow was destroyed while fighting the red-haired monster.
If he had a bow and arrow in hand, he would boast that he could pierce a poplar with a hundred steps without missing a beat!
…
Li Daoxuan escaped all the way and came to the ground after a while. He looked around and saw no one, so he took out a crane and demon-seeking talisman.
Maybe it can bring you some clues, just try your luck.
"The white crane spiritual bird is the species of the white crane, the spiritual talisman god drawn by the spiritual talisman. The great white crane will fly away in the clouds, and it will not teach the demons to escape their true bodies, Ji!"
The talisman turned into a crane, circled a few times, and began to fly towards the east.
Li Dao
After the crane arrived here, it stopped moving forward and turned into light spots and disappeared in the air.
Li Daoxuan looked at the lake, his eyes flashing slightly. It seemed that there was something hidden under the water, which attracted the attention of the crane's demon-seeking talisman.
At this time, he suddenly remembered his conversation with Zhao's daughter.
"Where is your mother?"
"It's soaked in water."
…
Li Daoxuan looked at the lake in front of him, and his heart moved. Maybe he and Xue Rengui had misunderstood. The so-called soaking in the water did not refer to the water tank, but falling into the lake?
Li Daoxuan walked to the lake and stared at the rippling water.
The next moment, he opened his eyebrows.
The Sky Eye looked directly through the lake and saw the bottom of the water. There was a lot of mud there, and deep in the mud, there was a female body.
She was wearing common clothes, and her body was swollen. Although she was dead, she was still hugging a statue of a god.
That is the statue of the Empress in Tsing Yi!
Although the statue was stained with mud and had many cracks, Li Daoxuan still recognized it at a glance. It was the statue of the Empress in Tsing Yi.
Without hesitation, he jumped into the water with a plop.
The only pity is that he has not yet mastered the Water Element Chapter of the Great Five Elements Escape Technique, otherwise there would be no need to go to such trouble.
Li Daoxuan swam downstream and soon came to the side of the corpse.
People who drown in the river will most likely turn into water ghosts, but there are no other corpses here except her, so there are only two possibilities.
One is that she did not become a water ghost, and the other is that she became a water ghost but did not choose to harm others.
Master once said that the soul of a drowned person is trapped in the water and cannot be reincarnated unless another scapegoat is found.
Therefore, water ghosts often drag innocent people into the water and drown them so that they can be reincarnated.
Li Daoxuan came to her body and reached out to touch the statue she was holding. Before he could touch it, he saw countless black hairs pouring towards him like water plants.
A pair of gray-white pupils suddenly opened and stared at Li Daoxuan.
Li Daoxuan looked at her without fear. After so many storms and waves, a little water ghost couldn't really make him feel nervous.
Li Daoxuan even smiled slightly, showing his white teeth.
next moment.
boom!
The water surface trembled, and a figure rushed out, it was Li Daoxuan.
If anyone saw this scene, they would be scared out of their wits, because he was holding a swollen female corpse in his hand, and the female corpse had its pupils open and was struggling hard.
"Don't scream!"
Li Daoxuan put a holding charm on her forehead, and her ears finally became quiet.
He threw the woman's body to the ground and asked: "I am a poor Taichong, the empress in blue sent me here. Let me ask you, are you Zhao Chenjie? If so, just blink three times."
When the female corpse heard the words "Empress in Tsing Yi", a glimmer of light shone in her muddy eyes.
She blinked three times in succession.
Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, finally finding the target.
The next moment, he separated into several incarnations and began to cross his legs and recite the "Supreme Suffering Sutra" to resolve the pent-up resentment in her body.
No matter how kind-hearted a person was during his lifetime, he would not be without resentment if he died suddenly. If he were truly without resentment, he would not become a water ghost.
This is just for the sake of the Queen in Tsing Yi. If it were any other water ghost, Li Daoxuan would have hit him with a Five Thunder Talisman.
Half an hour later.
A stream of black energy dispersed from the female corpse, and a soul floated out of her body.
Jingchai cloth skirt, beautiful face and dignified temperament.
She bowed to Li Daoxuan Yingying and said, "Thank you, Immortal!"
Li Dao
There was a hint of excitement in Zhao's eyes. She knelt down and knelt down towards the east, which was the direction of Yuzhang City.
"By the way, Mrs. Zhao, I heard from your mother-in-law that you originally planned to run away with your daughter. What happened? How did you drown in the water?"
Faced with Li Daoxuan's inquiry, Zhao naturally did not dare to deceive and told him one by one.
"If we go back to Shangxian, the reason why the folk girl wants to escape is because a monster appears in this village!"
"monster?"
"Yes, the monster looks like an ape and is covered with red hair. At first he often ate the cattle and sheep in the village, but then he slowly started to eat people!"
"We went to the mountain temple to burn incense and pray for the mountain god's blessing to capture the red-haired monster. But the temple's blessing, Yang Er, said that the red-haired monster is a mandrill. It is extremely powerful and even the mountain god can't control it!"
Li Dao
Xue Rengui once said personally that the red-haired monster was very burly, more than one foot tall, and was very different from the image of a mandrill.
Zhao nodded and said: "We didn't understand at the time, so we asked Yang Er what to do. Yang Er said that the mountain god had already discussed it with the monster. Every other month, the village would sacrifice one person to be eaten by the mandrill. Then everything will be fine.”
Li Daoxuan asked doubtfully: "Has no one ever thought about escaping?"
"Some people tried to escape at first, but soon they got into the monster's belly. Yang Er said that the mandrill lives around the village, and anyone who escapes will be eaten by it!"
Li Daoxuan finally understood why the people in this village were in a state of mental numbness.
He then asked: "How do you decide who to sacrifice to the monster?"
Zhao said: "By drawing lots, whoever is drawn will be the food of the monster."
"At first, medicine dealers often came to Yaowang Village. In order to prevent their relatives from becoming sacrifices, some families who were selected made the medicine dealers their scapegoats. As time went by, no one dared to enter the village anymore. .”
"Everyone thinks that with so many people in the village, they might not be hit. Although I'm scared, I slowly accept it."
Li Daoxuan looked at her and said, "Until one day, you were drawn, right?"
Ms. Zhao shook her head, with a firm look in her eyes, and said, "It's not me, it's my daughter!"
