There was drizzle in the sky, and the strong wind crackled on the trees.
The Taoist priest led the thin donkey and walked quickly on the mountain road in the dense forest. The closer he got to his destination, the more nervous he became.
And I instinctively felt that something was wrong, after all, it involved the gap between the underworld.
The Taoist priest was only less than forty years old. The yellow robe on his body showed that he was from the same sect as Uncle Jiu, coming from the Maoshan sect.
Although he is called Taoist Priest Four Eyes, it is actually because his senior brothers have nicknamed him squinting due to his poor eyesight since he was a child.
Taoist Master Four Eyes took out a talisman from his arms and looked at it under the moonlight. The talisman glowed slightly red, and he was afraid that it would soon reach the border of Miao territory.
Not long ago, the incident in the underworld caused a stir in the entire Maoshan sect, but they searched everywhere but found no clues.
Only one corpse was found, but it obviously had nothing to do with the underworld, and instead seemed to be full of mystery.
Just when he was at a loss, Taoist Master Simu received a talisman message from his senior brother Lin Jiu.
Those disappearing corpses were actually involved in Miao territory.
Without any hesitation, he hurried over and made an appointment with his fellow apprentices outside the Miao territory. They could rely on the talismans to know each other well.
But there was no response from Lin Jiu, which made him worried. He could only wait until Miao Jiang could meet again.
Little did Taoist Priest Simu know that they entered Miao territory in different directions. His route was very different from that of Uncle Jiu, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to encounter them.
He climbed over another mountain, and then saw the Miao tribe in the valley, but there seemed to be fire.
According to the information I learned, this tribe's name is "Ye", which means stone in the Miao language. They have been in contact with the Han people in the past few years.
The four-eyed Taoist priest couldn't see clearly due to his eyesight, but he couldn't help but frown, mainly because he smelled the stench of burning.
"I encountered an accident when I first arrived in Miao territory. What happened?"
He quickly speeded up, but Skinny Donkey stopped in place, refusing to take another step.
"That's all, this is the end of your fate."
Taoist Master Four Eyes loosened the reins, and the thin donkey headed in the opposite direction in a panic, disappearing in a flash.
He had no choice but to walk forward and walked for more than half an hour before approaching the village where the tribe was located.
The burning smell in the air became increasingly unpleasant, mixed with the disgusting aroma of meat.
Taoist Master Four Eyes has been dealing with zombies for more than ten years, but he doesn't know where the smell comes from. It is clearly caused by burning corpses.
Thinking of this, his breathing became heavier.
After arriving at the cottage, Taoist Master Simu found that the wooden door was tightly closed and could not be pushed open easily.
Seeing this, he took a deep breath, the energy in his body began to circulate rapidly, and the muscles under his robe began to expand.
This is a divine fighting technique, barely regarded as a body-refining method. It is said to make the upper body invulnerable to gods, but in fact it is far from that mysterious.
The heavy door was pushed open by Taoist Priest Four Eyes, and as soon as he saw it, he saw charred corpses lying scattered on the street.
There were several Miao people who were moving the corpses. When they saw a Taoist priest suddenly coming to the door, they immediately put down the corpses in their hands and surrounded them with howling ghosts.
Taoist Priest Four Eyes took advantage of the divine fighting skills and rushed forward, knocking out the Miao people in just a few encounters.
He moved closer to the corpses to examine them, and felt that the expressions of each corpse were inexplicably strange.
Usually, when people are burned to death, their expressions will be hideous and terrifying, but these corpses grinned, making people shudder.
He hid in the alley between the houses and groped inside, using a charm to cover his breath so as not to be discovered by the Miao people.
However, Taoist Master Four Eyes was obviously overly worried. Even he himself became sensitive and suspicious under the inexplicable influence, let alone the others.
Moreover, the air is filled with madness, and the dead are everywhere, so naturally no one will care about the living.
He heard the deafening cheers and couldn't help but look over.
Dozens of Miao people were seen dancing around a bonfire, and a large number of corpses were burned and thrown in.
What shocked Taoist Priest Four Eyes the most was that some Miao people chose to jump directly into the bonfire, or burned themselves with firewood. This was how those charred corpses came about.
The flames grew stronger and stronger, and an old man stood up tremblingly. He took out a wooden box from his arms.
Taoist priest Si Mu couldn't understand the Miao language, but he was greatly shocked. Before he could stop him, he saw the old man opening the wooden box.
It was impossible to see what was in the box. As the old man threw it into the brazier, the fire became brighter and brighter.
All the Miao people jumped into the fire, and the grease made a crackling sound as the high temperature turned into fuel for the flames.
Taoist Priest Four Eyes did not hear any screams, and even faint laughter could be heard.
His mentality was strange in such an environment. His spirit was greatly frightened and he would collapse at any time.
The several Miao people who had been knocked unconscious also rushed over carrying the scorched corpses, and they jumped into the flames together with the corpses.
Although Taoist Master Four Eyes was able to stop him, he remained unmoved at all, as if he was forcibly held in place.
The entire Miao people in the village were swallowed up by the flames. Taoist priest Si Mu regained some strength and approached only to find that the flames were gradually extinguishing.
But in this short period of time, not even ashes were left on the body, and there was only a white egg the size of a head left in the basin.
Taoist priest Four Eyes bent down and picked up the white egg. After wiping off the dust on it, he saw the weird and mysterious patterns on it.
He felt like he was struck by lightning, his stomach was churning and he couldn't help but retching.
The four-eyed Taoist priest endured the discomfort, dropped the white egg and stumbled towards the outside of the village. After walking a few steps, he heard the sound of heavy footsteps.
At the end of the street, a short figure was walking step by step.
The child looked to be only four or five years old. He was naked and his skin was covered with runes.
What frightened the four-eyed Taoist priest the most was that the child's appearance was similar to the one in amber, but there were three pairs of eight eyes on his face.
On the forehead above the three pairs of eyebrows, there is a red waning moon hanging upside down.
However, only six eyes were open, and the other two eyes were closed tightly, with blood and tears always flowing out.
The child paid no attention to Taoist Priest Four Eyes, and only turned to look when the two passed by.
Under the gaze, the latter had the idea that everything was seen through.
"Hey, my name is Dansheng, what's yours?"
Taoist Master Simu had no intention of answering, but he opened his mouth involuntarily and said, "Chen...yes..."
"Are you also a Taoist priest?"
"Yes Yes…"
"Very good!!"
Dansheng clapped his hands and said excitedly, then bowed respectfully to Taoist Simu with his hands clasped in fists.
He said with a playful smile: "Taoist Master Chen, a Taoist friend with similar interests will come to ask for advice soon. What if he asks what Taoism I study under?"
Taoist Priest Four Eyes opened his mouth. He hesitated in his throat and wanted to say something, but his mind went blank.
"Forget it, let me think about it..."
Dansheng squatted on the ground and thought seriously. If he didn't look at the weird appearance, he would just think he was an ordinary child.
The four-eyed Taoist priest's body was unable to react at all, standing motionless like a log.
After a long time, Dansheng patted his head as if he had figured something out, and said in a high voice: "It means that Master is the reincarnation of an immortal from heaven, and he should have red hair..."
As he described the words in his mouth, Taoist Master Four Eyes felt itchy all over, and he couldn't help but make a gurgling sound in his throat.
The originally short black hair grew longer at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its color also turned dark red.
Wrinkles appeared on the skin of the four-eyed Taoist priest's face, and the same marks as Dan Sheng appeared on his forehead, and he gradually turned into a strange old man.
Dansheng scratched his head and ignored Taoist Priest Four Eyes.
He jumped to the white egg that fell out of the bonfire, then carefully peeled the eggshell open and took out an amber.
You can clearly see a child swimming inside, as if ready to escape at any time.
Dansheng smiled and held up the amber, placed it under the weak sunlight, and then swallowed it in one gulp under the astonished gaze of Taoist Priest Four.
Because Amber's size was a bit larger than Dansheng's, his mouth opened several times wider than a normal person's.
Dansheng swallowed it with difficulty, his face turned red.
Then he touched his belly, and the waning moon on his forehead became even brighter red, looking like he was full.
Dansheng's three pairs of eyes kept blinking, and after a few breaths, the seventh one opened, and his momentum surged.
The air around him was distorted.
Dansheng looked at Taoist Priest Simu with a strange face with satisfaction and said, "Let's go, Master, let's go back to the Taoist temple."
Taoist Priest Four Eyes nodded calmly. He was like a puppet leading the way. Even people he knew well might not recognize him.
The two quickly left the village and headed to the depths of Miao territory.
As the four-eyed Taoist walked by, Zhang Maoshan's talisman fell on the ground, and the engraved talisman was still glowing slightly red.
Most of a day later, two more yellow-robed Taoist priests, a man and a woman, came.
They had obviously been working hard for a long time, and their faces were full of exhaustion.
The two searched for the traces of Taoist Master Four Eyes and found the talisman. They also accidentally discovered burnt ashes in the cottage.
Half a day later, they also left the village and headed towards the depths of the Miao border.
………
At the same time, Qin Bai under the deep water had arrived at his destination, but it was already evening.
Several people looked through their swimming goggles at the villages covered in water plants not far away, and couldn't help but feel surprised.
The original wooden structure of the building can no longer be seen because the surface is covered with a thick layer of algae and there are also some aquatic insects.
A large number of mermaids surround this place, and you can even see fields.
What is cultivated inside is not food, but dozens of giant white flowers.
Qin Bai frowned and looked at this scene of living and working in peace and contentment, feeling a strange sense of dissonance.
Uncle Jiu couldn't help but tightly grasp the pea shooter in his hand. Although he had never seen a similar creature, the attack showed that the threat was great.
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were both worried about the double-headed sunflowers rising up.
As Tool Crocodile continued to move forward, the murlocs soon discovered a few of them.
The strange thing is that not only did it not cause panic, but the fishmen surrounded it and stared at it with curious eyes.
Mermaids are all women, with flawless white skin. If they were not in a crazy state, they would indeed be pretty in appearance and exude an ethereal temperament.
Wencai touched his chin and looked at the fish man in a daze.
Good guy, Qin Bai is such a good guy, he waved his hand and gave Wen Cai a slap on the head. Can he be in heat? ! !
He released his spiritual thoughts and swept across the entire area.
Finally he landed in the field, his expression became playful.
One of the most beautiful ones swam out from the group of mermaids. He made a gesture of invitation and guided the crocodile towards the tribe.
The Tool Crocodile curled his lips in disgust. He felt that these fish looked weird, and their bodies were all bones, and probably not much meat.
However, under Qin Bai's signal, the crocodile obediently followed the mermaid group and swam over.
They came to the tribe's open space, and the fishmen returned to the house one after another to take out food, which were all aquatic plant fruits.
Master Jiu and his disciples were not used to the hospitality of fellow villagers, but Qin Bai did not stop them from taking the food.
He grabbed a pear-like fruit and took a few bites.
Although the taste is not very delicious, it is indeed very fresh and sweet, and it melts in your mouth, and it seems to have some medicinal properties.
Seeing this, Uncle Jiu's master and apprentice also tasted it, and they couldn't help but feel puzzled by the fish-man's behavior.
Could it be that the previous attacks were all misunderstandings? In fact, they were not monsters. Maybe they entered the territory by mistake and frightened the opponent?
Qin Bai secretly marveled. He found a large number of corpses in the fields. The number was astonishing and far beyond imagination.
These corpses support white flower bones, forming a strange balance. It seems that only a slight change will cause waves.
And change is close at hand, the sun is about to set under the mountains and rivers, and night is coming soon.
Of course he could use the scent of sunflowers to speed up the process, but he always felt it was unnecessary.
Qin Bai saw that Wen Cai and the fishmen ladies were communicating in sign language normally, while Qiu Sheng was still enjoying his meal.
Uncle Jiu was finally able to rest, so he simply crossed his legs in the water and practiced Qi.
Qin Bai couldn't help but laugh. They were all still too young, and how could they be as experienced as me?
He took out the poisonous Gatling peas, but the flames of the torch stump were extremely uncomfortable in the water, so he gave up the combination.
Then Qin Bai began to count silently in his heart.
nineteen……
The water temperature began to drop, and the entire tribe was shrouded in shadow.
Eight...seven...
I don't know if it was due to the light, but the fishman's white skin began to turn slightly dark.
six...five...
The flowers in the field turned black instantly as if they were soaked in ink, and bloomed in the blink of an eye.
In the center of the flower are actually half-fish, half-human monsters, and they fight with each other for no reason.
The corpses were torn into pieces and eaten by the same kind, and the characteristics of the half-murlocs became more and more similar to those of the fishmen.
three two……
Both Uncle Jiu and Qiu Sheng were aware. After all, the fish-man in front of them began to grow scales, and the teeth in his mouth became sharper.
Only Wencai remained silent in the gentle village. He didn't even notice that the eyes of the fishmen around him were filled with the desire to devour.
Qin Bai raised the highly poisonous Gatling pea towards the fish-man, and Uncle Jiu and his uncle followed suit.
Yin energy emanated from the field, and the fish-man girl turned into a monster.
At the same time, the sound of ammunition flying out also sounded, like a rhapsody.
Wen Cai was still making love to each other just now, but when he turned around, his face was splashed with blood, and he was stunned.
