I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 115: The Zhu Mansion Changes
While Monk Fahui was killing the poisonous insects and breaking the formation, Li Qingyun was watching coldly from the side. Although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was turbulent and full of doubts and confusion.

He is no longer the newcomer who had just traveled through time and knew nothing about the mysterious world. Under the guidance of Lu Zhen and others, he recognized at a glance that what Fahui used was the Buddhist unique skill "Vajra Fire", which meant that the monk was at least a cultivator of the fourth realm, "Vajra Realm", and had profound magical powers, and it was obvious that he was not a newcomer to this realm.

Such a person is definitely an outstanding figure even in the Daxiangguo Temple where there are so many masters. The abbot Liangran sent him out to carry out the mission, which is definitely not just to kill one or two small monsters.

Moreover, the incident happened only half an hour ago, and even the people from the Inspection Office had just arrived. How did they get here so quickly?

Could it be that Daxiangguo Temple already knew that something would happen here?
After figuring out the trick, given Li Qingyun's personality, he was originally unwilling to enter the Zhu Mansion so rashly.

The strange magic circle, the disgusting poisonous insects, the dried corpses, everything indicated that something was wrong. Moreover, it was already now, and the best time to save people had long been missed. What was supposed to happen must have happened. There was no need to rush in to explore without knowing the details.

According to his plan, since Daxiangguo Temple had been prepared in advance, he should let Fahui investigate on his own. After these monks had cleaned up everything inside, Kaifeng Prefecture could go in and finish the work. This was the safest and best strategy.

The middle strategy is to wait for Xu Liang and Bai Yunrui, and then request one or two powerful magic weapons from Kaifeng Prefecture, and then go to subdue the demons when you are sure of your success.

But although the idea was good, it could not keep up with the changes. Li Qingyun did not expect that Ai Hu, this reckless man, would rush in without saying a word. He had no choice but to follow him to take care of him.

In a hurry, he made a divination and got the revelation that dragons and snakes were entangled, yin and yang were unbalanced, and wind, fire, thunder and lightning were intertwined.

This proves that the Zhu Mansion is in extreme chaos, with unknown dangers lurking on all sides. If one is not careful, there will be a disaster.

Alas... I should not have brought these two idiots, Ai Hu and Han Tianjin... Li Qingyun complained in his heart. After stepping through the gate, he looked around and saw five monks including Fahui lined up in a row, all looking at him.

"Is this donor also an official from Kaifeng Prefecture?"

Fahui asked.

Ai Hu glanced at him and introduced:
"This Li Qingyun is a warrior who has just joined Kaifeng Prefecture and has the strength of the third realm."

Fahui nodded upon hearing this, not hiding his contempt. To him, a cultivator of the third realm was of little use and was nothing more than a pathfinder.

So he just said:
"Follow me closely, don't fall behind. This place is filled with demonic energy, and there must be many evil spirit followers hiding here. Although their realms are not high, they are elusive and are not easy to deal with."

After saying that, he strode forward along the narrow bluestone path in front of the door.

……

The breeze blew gently, the willow branches swayed, and clear springs flowed between the cracks of the rockery. All the seven people saw on the road was a beautiful summer scene, as beautiful as a painting.

But the whole house was empty and eerily quiet.

Ai Hu couldn't help but ask:
"There are two bodies hanging at the door, why is there no blood in the house?"

Fahui did not speak. A yellow-robed monk beside him answered:

"This place has become a demonic place. They treasure blood and call it a gift from the 'Lord of the Abyss.' Even if they kill someone, they will lick the blood clean and never waste a drop."

Li Qingyun also asked:

"How do you know this is the Demonic Dojo? The murder happened only half an hour ago."

The yellow-robed monk said disdainfully:
"Who told you that the murder just happened? The massacre here happened at least three or four hours ago, and it's even possible that it started last night, but the bloody smell was covered up by the formation. My master, Master Liangran, has the ability of divine eyes. If he hadn't seen the blood rising to the sky here, I'm afraid you would still be kept in the dark."

Li Qingyun was still puzzled:
"Since the perpetrator deliberately used a formation to cover up his tracks, why did he hang the female corpse outside for people to find? Isn't this a contradiction?"

The yellow-robed monk was speechless for a moment, and could only pretend to be contemptuous and perfunctory:

"The evil cultivators of the Demonic Path are all mentally unstable. They might be deliberately provoking you. Just follow them and don't ask so many questions."

Li Qingyun chuckled secretly and did not refute. He followed the team quietly, observing carefully and looking for a medium that could be used for divination.

No matter what the monk from Daxiangguo Temple's intention was in coming here, he had only one purpose, which was to find out what happened to the Zhu family and what its relationship was to the Demonic Way.

The crowd walked through the front yard and into the second courtyard, where they saw three large water vats more than one meter tall.

This is an everyday item used for storing and drawing water in the mansion, but at this moment, a sharp creaking sound like a mad dog scratching the door came from inside.

Seeing this, Fahui stopped, looked at the water tank with a serious expression and said:

"There are resentful spirits here. I need to open the water tank to purify them. You must be careful of their attacks on spirits."

After saying that, he stretched out his finger and pointed in the air. His true energy spread everywhere, and a water tank broke. A translucent figure with disheveled hair and a livid face suddenly floated out from it.

As soon as it appeared, it let out a shrill howl towards everyone.

The scream was sharp and high-pitched, like a blade cutting through the air, piercing people's eardrums, almost penetrating the spirit, and making people's minds go blank.

If an ordinary person were here, even if he covered his ears, he would not be able to resist the screaming and would probably collapse on the spot. At best, he would become an idiot, and at worst, he would bleed from all his orifices and die.

However, the people present were at least cultivators at the third level. Even if the vengeful spirit howled with all its might, it would not be able to hurt them at all. It would just sound hoarse and unpleasant, causing everyone to frown.

Fahui waved the staff in his hand and shot out a "Vajra Fire". The power of the karmic fire instantly ignited the resentful soul in front of him. Amid screams, the resentful soul quickly turned into light smoke and disappeared.

Li Qingyun felt the "Soul Devouring" magical power in his body being naturally stimulated, and he actually absorbed several strands of essence.

[Remaining Qi and blood: one hundred and eight souls].

Judging from the growth of Qi and blood, this resentful soul's cultivation is not high and it may not have entered the country yet.

I only heard Fahui say:

"The yin energy contained in this resentful soul is pure, and it is transformed from the resentment of living people. It is a good material for the devil to refine "servants". According to my estimation, this resentful soul has been sealed here for a few days, and it will soon become a real servant."

How many days has it been?
Li Qingyun felt more and more puzzled. Judging from the time, the vengeful spirit had been sealed in the Zhu family's water tank long before and after Zhu Chengxi was attacked. These two events were probably closely related and could not be a coincidence.

But how come no one noticed anything unusual? Even if the master of the Zhu family ignored it, there would always be servants and maids who would come here to fetch water and use it, so they would not fail to notice the noise inside.

While he was thinking, Fahui had already done the same thing, breaking the other two water vats and purifying the resentful souls in them with the same method, then stretched out his hand and called out:

"This is just a minor character. There should be stronger evil creatures behind. Everyone, be careful."

Everyone followed Fahui and walked through the courtyard. Going forward, they saw a nine-curve corridor with a lotus pond below.

The emerald green lotus leaves cover the water surface, layer upon layer, full of greenery, and the pink lotus flowers stand tall and graceful, competing for beauty.

However, in the center of the blooming lotus petals, there were bloody human heads...

Among the heads were men, women, old and young, all of them died with their eyes open. Tears of blood flowed from their staring eye sockets, dyeing the water in the pool red.

Heads in all directions were staring silently at the group of people on the promenade in the middle of the lake, with strange and dark smiles on their faces.

Even though Li Qingyun was used to all kinds of strange things in the mysterious world and was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene before him.

The next moment, he had a bad premonition and subconsciously drew out his precious sword to break evil and held it in his hand.

At this moment, the sky, which was originally sunny, suddenly darkened. Dark clouds rolled in, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. Everyone was suddenly plunged into pitch darkness!

All present were well-trained masters. Although the unexpected happened, they did not panic at all. They drew their weapons and protected their bodies.

Monk Fahui shouted loudly, and the staff in his hand emitted a strong light, immediately illuminating the surroundings.

Suddenly, translucent figures emerged from the pool. There were men and women, old and young, and even various animals such as chickens, ducks, and mice. They looked so dense that they were difficult to count.

The aura of these souls was not weak. Most of them were at the first and second realms of cultivation. Some had already become "demons" at the third realm, and they all pounced towards the crowd.

Suddenly, a chilly atmosphere filled the air, and sharp laughter echoed around the lotus pond, as if invisible hands were stirring the air wantonly...

"Kill it!"

At Fahui's command, everyone immediately took action. In an instant, the flashes of swords and the chilling aura were everywhere.

Except for Li Qingyun, the other six are all masters of Buddhism. They have the power of transcendence and purification. Even when facing the "demons" of the third realm, they have the power to restrain them and do not suffer any loss. However, there are too many evil spirits here, and they cannot be killed all, so it is quite difficult to deal with them.

Ai Hu held the Turtle Spirit Seven Treasures Sword in his hand and chopped off an "evil spirit" head-on. He then turned sideways to avoid a servant who was about to launch a sneak attack. He then slapped the evil spirit with his palm, and released infinite Buddhist power, instantly liberating the evil spirit.

But at this moment, a ball of oily green ghost fire silently ignited the hem of his short coat and burned his skin.

The young hero screamed in pain, and a protective golden light emerged from his body, instantly extinguishing the flames. However, even so, a large charred wound was still left on his waist.

Just as he was distracted, an extremely solid evil spirit pounced on Ai Hu from behind.

She was a young girl, dressed as a maid. On her pale and clear face, there were densely packed bright red bloodstains, which looked very scary.

She exuded a sinister aura, and was actually a "demon" of the third realm.

"Master Ai, be careful!"

Monk Fahui still had enough energy to observe the situation around him during the fierce battle. He saw an evil spirit attacking Ai Hu and warned him immediately. However, he was too far away and was entangled by two powerful demons, so he was too late to rescue him.

Ai Hu felt a chill on his back, and then his head became dizzy, and he cried out in his heart that something was wrong.

The situation is critical at this time. Once possessed by the devil, you will fight him for control of the body. Although you will not die immediately, if your limbs are not under control, you will be attacked by other evil spirits, which is very dangerous.

At this moment, a sword energy containing the true evil of heavenly thunder came at the right time and hit the demon girl accurately.

The light blue electric snake jumped, bringing destructive power, instantly piercing through the demon's body, causing her to scream miserably. After a moment, it turned into a green light and dissipated.

The person who drew the knife was none other than Li Qingyun. He used the "Eight Trigrams All Saints Sword Technique" and took the heavenly thunder and evil spirit as his main means of attack. With the support of his powerful true energy, he was invincible.

This was his favorite war of attrition. Every time he killed an evil spirit, his energy and blood power would grow stronger. Instead of being consumed, he became braver and braver as the battle went on, and he had almost endless power.

Therefore, he killed people without any scruples, fighting in and out of the group of evil spirits, and resolved Ai Hu's crisis in the process.

Seeing this, Fahui in the distance looked at Li Qingyun in surprise. He didn't expect that this young and handsome boy had such strength.

His cultivation level far exceeds that of his peers. His swordsmanship is integrated with a unique aura of heavenly thunder. At the same time, his breath is long and tireless. Even when besieged by countless evil spirits, he still has the energy to keep an eye on all directions and rescue at any time... When did Kaifeng Prefecture have such a young master?
What is even more incredible is that Li Qingyun does not seem to be afraid of being possessed by evil spirits!

Whenever an evil spirit tried to launch a sneak attack and got within a few inches of him, it would be pulled directly into his body by a strange force, unable to even scream, and would fall into silence.

What kind of weird secret technique is this? It is simply the natural nemesis of all kinds of spirits!
Just when Fahui was puzzled, he suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from the sky, and the power of thunder descended from the sky like a giant dragon, rushing down.

Li Qingyun was seen holding a precious sword in his hand, his eyes flashing with ice-blue light, his whole body wrapped in flickering electric light, as if he was the god of thunder, insolent and invincible.

The next moment, violent lightning power exploded around his body, forming a huge circle of light with Li Qingyun as the center, spreading out in all directions...

Within twenty steps, all the evil spirits had nowhere to hide under the pressure of the thunder. They let out miserable screams and then turned to ashes.

The air was filled with a burning smell, as if it had just experienced a divine punishment.

For a moment, there was silence all around, and everyone was shocked by this horrifying scene. Only Li Qingyun stood quietly where he was. The light blue light in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he stared coldly at the mess around him.

Seeing the evil spirits being quickly eliminated, even the conceited monk Fahui could not help but sigh in admiration:
"Master Li is very capable!"

Li Qingyun glanced at him, without any trace of pride on his face. Instead, his face was as gloomy as water, and he said very seriously:
"We were supposed to be seven people, but now there are only six left, one person is missing..."
