Chapter 78: God of Land
"Who? Come out!"
Li Daoxuan snapped his fingers and the Chixia sword ball shot out, turning into a red sword light and shooting towards the figure in the corner.
clang!
The Chixia Sword penetrated deeply into the wall, and the sharp sword energy pierced the wall with holes.
But there was no one there.
Li Daoxuan activated his Dharma Eyes and looked around, but did not see any clues, as if everything before was an illusion.
"Want to hide?"
Li Daoxuan sneered. No matter who that black shadow was, he might know something about the destruction of Xiaosha Village.
Li Daoxuan raised his left hand, the rune pattern on his palm became hot and emitted a brilliant light.
"The soldiers are fierce and powerful, and they are always powerful and majestic. They hold spears and swords, and they kill without hesitation. They are angry and vicious, and they are rampant and ferocious. They cut off heads and bleed, and they eat ghosts and swallow gold. Hear my call, come quickly!"
The Five Demons' Soldiers and Horses Talisman was activated, breaking the barrier between Yin and Yang and summoning the ghost soldiers from the underworld.
Fifty Yin soldiers held spears in their hands, lined up in neat formation, and stared at Li Daoxuan quietly with their eyes flickering with ghostly fire.
"Surround this place and search the entire village. Don't miss any corner!"
"promise!"
At Li Daoxuan's order, the ghost soldiers quickly mobilized and searched house by house. Not long after, they found the person hiding in the dark and brought him to Li Daoxuan.
He was a short old man with a fluttering white beard, his body still covered in mud. He was dug out from the ground by the ghost soldiers, and held in the air, kicking his feet wildly with a look of fear in his eyes.
"Please spare my life, Immortal, please spare my life!"
Li Daoxuan looked at him coldly and asked, "Who are you and why are you spying on me?"
The old man said aggrievedly: "I am the land god of Xiaosha Village. I did not secretly spy on the immortal, but I just happened to meet the immortal and disturbed him..."
God of Land!
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up. Although the immortals and Buddhas had disappeared, the mountain gods and land gods were still there. They stayed in the human world all year round and were unaware of what was happening in heaven.
However, when it comes to human affairs, I'm afraid no one knows more than them!
Especially the God of Land, although he has low Taoism and little fighting ability, he is well-informed, knowledgeable, and knows local affairs like the back of his hand.
Li Daoxuan signaled the ghost soldiers to let him go and said, "Tell me, why were the villagers of Xiaosha Village hung on the tree? What monster harmed them?"
The Earth God looked embarrassed and asked, "Does the Immortal want to get rid of the demon?"
"Why, is it possible that the monster has a history with you and you want to protect him?"
The Earth God shuddered and quickly shook his head, saying, "No, the villagers of Xiaosha Village usually respect me very much. Now that they have been harmed by that monster, I can't wait to kill that monster!"
After a pause, he sighed, "But that evildoer is extremely powerful. Although the Immortal can command the Yin soldiers, he may not be its opponent!"
Li Daoxuan understood what he was worried about. He was worried that he would fail to exorcise the demon and be harmed instead, and that he would be implicated in the end.
"Listen carefully. I am the ninth generation disciple of Mount Longhu. I walk the earth under the guidance of the Green-robed Lady. I specialize in slaying demons and monsters. I have my own methods. You don't need to worry."
In order to make him believe, Li Daoxuan took out the phoenix jade pendant given by the Green-robed Lady. As soon as the jade pendant with the aura of ghosts and immortals appeared, the gloomy ghost aura that permeated Xiaosha Village dissipated in an instant, and a sacred and vast aura emerged.
The earth god's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "This... this is indeed the jade pendant of the Qingyi Lady!"
He bowed deeply to Li Daoxuan, tears welling up in his eyes, and said, "Please, Immortal, help these innocent villagers!"
"What happened?"
The God of Land finally told everything he knew.
It turned out that just a day ago, a terrible evil spirit suddenly enveloped Xiaosha Village, and then screams continued to be heard in the village.
As the land owner of Xiaosha Village, he had enjoyed incense and offerings for generations, and he should have appeared to protect it. However, his magic power was too weak, and as soon as he appeared, his body was destroyed by the monster.
Fortunately, he had accumulated some divine power from incense and praying over the years, and after consuming it, he managed to reshape his true body, thus saving his life.
"So, you didn't even see the monster clearly?"
Li Daoxuan frowned. The useful information provided by the land god was too little.
The old face of the land god turned red, and he said with some shame: "I am useless. I really didn't see the appearance of the monster, but through the evil spirit, I could vaguely see three shadows."
Three shadows!
Li Daoxuan's heart trembled. Could they be three monsters?
Although there are demons in the Tang Dynasty, they are never so rampant, otherwise the human race would have perished long ago.
Three monsters descended on Xiaosha Village at the same time. This is so strange!
"Where did they go after they massacred the village?"
"To answer the Immortal, it should be... the direction of Xinyang County."
Li Daoxuan was shocked. Was it not enough that they massacred Xiaosha Village and they also wanted to massacre Xinyang County?
"You buried the people of Xiaosha Village well. I will go to Xinyang County to take a look!"
Li Daoxuan put away his ghost soldiers and hurried towards Xinyang County.
He had a vague premonition that these three monsters were probably not simple people, and that the massacre of the village was definitely not just for the sake of killing satisfaction.
A moment later, Li Daoxuan arrived at the city gate of Xinyang County.
The city gates were closed and the entire Xinyang County was shrouded in darkness.
But this low city gate certainly could not pose a problem for Li Daoxuan now. He had practiced the Purple Qi Nourishing Essence Technique successfully, and his body was filled with pure energy, so he easily flipped over it.
Walking on the street, there was no smell of blood, which made Li Daoxuan breathe a sigh of relief.
He first returned to the Zhenyang Taoist Temple and wanted to talk to his master about this matter.
However, there was no one in the Zhenyang Taoist Temple, and the coffin was empty except for a letter.
There was a note from the master on it, saying that he had gone into the mountains to collect herbs and might not be back in the short term, so Li Daoxuan didn't need to worry.
There is also a picture of a coffin at the end, which is to remind Li Daoxuan to buy a new coffin, because his old coffin is too hard and hurts his butt.
This made Li Daoxuan a little worried.
Without Master around, if those three monsters really want to start a massacre in Xinyang County, can I stop them?
What if they all have Huang Sanlang's skills? If I'm alone, wouldn't it be like throwing a meat bun at a dog, with no chance of coming back?
Finally, he decided that when in doubt, he should ask the boss!
He took a spoonful of well water in the yard and sprinkled it on the bronze mirror in the phoenix jade pendant. Li Daoxuan kept chanting the name of the goddess in front of the bronze mirror.
"Madam Qing Yi, Madam Qing Yi, Madam Qing Yi..."
As he chanted, a faint mist began to appear on the surface of the bronze mirror. Not long after, the mist dissipated, revealing a beautiful figure.
The lady in green was wearing a moon-white long skirt with a green robe on the outside. She seemed to be combing her hair just now, but now her black hair was loose and fell on her shoulders.
There was a faint glow flowing through her body, as if she was a jade figure cast by moonlight. When she looked around, she was dignified, holy and elegant.
Her cold gaze swept over Li Daoxuan and softened slightly.
"What's the matter, you sly fellow?"
