Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 11: The King of Western Chu?
The essence of peach wood is born in the ghost gate and can control all ghosts. It is an excellent material for exorcising evil spirits and controlling ghosts.
This peach wood sword is made of hundred-year-old peach wood.
Its additional exorcism +1 effect means that any ordinary evil spirits will have to retreat wherever the peach wood sword is, or else they will be wiped out in a short time.
Taoist Bai Piao carried a peach wood sword with him and performed rituals everywhere. Although they were all tricks to fool people, the peach wood sword's effect of exorcising evil spirits really worked, so Taoist Bai Piao gained quite a reputation because of it.
However, the ghost that Li Laoer saw was not actually a real ghost.
The purple-blue sword light shot towards a corner .
In the eyes of Taoist Bai Piao, there was nothing unusual in this corner, it was empty.
But at the moment when Lu Qingshan's sword light flew over.
Ripples appeared in the void and spread out rapidly, like ripples on calm water.
Then a huge black rat appeared out of nowhere in the yard.
boom--
The sword light directly hit the huge black rat.
A huge roar was heard.
The black rat obviously didn't expect this to happen.
Caught off guard, he was struck by the thundering sword. He stood there in a daze, with the black hair on his body standing on end. A smell of burning leather wafted from his body.
Yes, the so-called ghost in the village is not a so-called ghost, but this huge black rat is causing trouble.
Lu Qingshan noticed that something was wrong very early on. He had never heard of any ghost doing such a thing as stealing chickens.
Later, when he arrived at the village and learned that the King of Western Chu had appeared again in broad daylight, he was certain that the evil that appeared in this small village was definitely not a ghost.
So after he climbed over the wall, he paid special attention to whether there was anything unusual in the yard, and soon discovered an illusion restriction in the corner of the yard.
When the Sky Eye Technique was performed, a lot of information appeared in front of Lu Qingshan 's eyes .

…
That’s right, the one stealing chickens and dogs in the village was a rat that had somehow become a spirit, or a monster.
If it was an evil spirit causing trouble, Taoist Bai Piao might be able to rely on the peach wood sword to be invincible, but if it was a monster, the peach wood sword's exorcism effect would be of no use at all.
He is a fake Taoist priest, but he rushed directly into the face of the monster. Isn't this seeking death?
So Lu Qingshan felt at ease to accept the peach wood sword: I help you solve the troubles that you can't solve by yourself, and in return, I accept the peach wood sword as a reward, there is nothing wrong with that.
Taking advantage of the initiative, Lu Qingshan swung his sword again without waiting for the rat demon to counterattack, slashing out a bolt of lightning.
This sword beam contains 10 points of thunder power.
The rat demon had just come to his senses when another sword flashing with purple light appeared before his eyes.
boom--
There was another huge roar.
…
The villagers gathered outside Li Laoer's house could not help but gasp when they heard the noise coming from the yard: "This should be the Taoist fighting with the ghost. Good fellow, judging from the noise, this King of Western Chu must be a formidable ghost."
Someone showed a worried look: "I just wonder if Taoist Bai Piao can defeat this Overlord of Western Chu?"
"Don't worry. Taoist Master Bai Piao is a well-known Taoist priest in Yuanshan City. He has rich experience in exorcising ghosts. No matter how powerful the Overlord of Western Chu is, he will have no choice but to surrender if he encounters the Taoist master."
…
Inside the yard.
The purple light appeared again on the peach wood sword in Lu Qingshan's hand.
"Stop hitting it, stop hitting it. The rat will be killed if you hit it again. Please spare my life, sir!" Suddenly, the rat demon, whose body had been charred by the thunder sword, made a shrill cry for mercy.
Hearing this, Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows and actually put away the thunder power on the peach wood sword. He looked at the rat demon with interest: "You have not yet transformed, but you can speak human language. It seems that you have a great opportunity. You have refined the horizontal bone in advance."
When the rat demon saw that Lu Qingshan had really put away the thunder on his sword, he patted his chest with his little paws in a very humane way, and said with lingering fear: "Master, you really have a keen eye. I was just an ordinary mouse, barely making a living by stealing the food of this owner. Not long ago, by chance, I swallowed a red spirit bead, and somehow I suddenly became intelligent and could speak. I was a good mouse, but it turned into this. I was so scared! But I dare to swear that I have never hurt anyone in the village in these days. I am a good demon. Master, please show mercy and spare my life!"
Lu Qingshan walked up to the rat demon, used the peach wood sword as a mallet, and hit the rat demon's head hard, saying as he hit it, "Good demon? Good demon keeps stealing chickens, good demon pretends to be a ghost to scare the villagers, good demon calls himself the Overlord of Western Chu, look at what you can do."
The rat demon covered his head and dared not resist, whispering to explain: "The chicken smelled so good, I couldn't help it. And I didn't mean to scare anyone, I just felt that I seemed to have some special ability (sleight of hand), so I tried to use it. Who knew that the owner of the house suddenly came out, and he happened to see it. As for the Overlord of Western Chu..."
The rat demon felt very aggrieved: "I didn't say that. At that time, he asked me what kind of ghost I was. Don't you humans all have names? I thought I was born in a cave in the west corner of the house, so I gave myself a name, the King of the Rat West. He somehow heard it as the King of Western Chu."
"It's so unfair to the rat!"
Lu Qingshan: “…”
Taoist Bai Piao, who was watching this scene from the side, was already stunned. Today, he not only saw the legendary cultivator, but also saw a rat demon that could speak human language. He had mixed feelings in his heart, shocked and scared.
…
"Where did you get the red spirit bead that you swallowed? What does it look like exactly? Tell me in detail, and then I will consider whether to let you go." Lu Qingshan's tone was calm, but a hint of purple light appeared on the peach wood sword again.
When the King of Western Rat saw the purple light on the sword, he couldn't help but shudder. It was obvious that the two previous sword beams had left him with too deep a psychological shadow.
The Western Rat King immediately pounced on Lu Qingshan's legs, his two little claws tightly grasped Lu Qingshan's trouser legs, and said in a heart-wrenching voice: "Master, please spare my life. As the saying goes, God is merciful. I am a good demon. If you kill me, how can you bear it!"
Lu Qingshan kicked the King of the Rat West away, and the purple light on the peach wood sword became brighter. "Don't laugh at me. If you don't want to answer my question, then I won't be polite."
The King of the Rat of the West looked at Lu Qingshan with some fear, and then he stammered, "Master, it's not that the Rat doesn't want to explain, it's just that the Rat doesn't know what's going on."
"Hmm?" Lu Qingshan frowned slightly.
"Oh, I don't know what to say. I'll take the real person to see it myself, and then the real person will understand what's going on."
