She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 13 Strange Woman

Everyone fell into a daze.

This scene was something they had never expected.

"It's okay?"

"Isn't it said that this place is the lair of evil spirits and that anyone who approaches will die?"

"What exactly happened?"

Many people were whispering.

A person who was thought to be dead actually appeared alive in front of everyone.

Especially since the other party was sleeping on the old locust tree that made everyone fearful, as if nothing had happened... What a tough guy!

Many people were shocked. Although they were strangers to Xie Lian, this man was undoubtedly a ruthless person.

It was extremely difficult to enter the ghost fog late at night, but this person was lucky enough to pass through the ghost fog and reach the ghost fog's lair. Not only did he not die, he also slept on the old locust tree until dawn...

How can normal people sleep?
Many people who enter the yard can feel a chill. This is because although the power accumulated in the Yin meridian has been drained, a small amount of fresh meridian energy is still continuously produced.

Xie Lian had absorbed a large amount of this energy through the bronze tripod, and with his special physique, he didn't feel any discomfort.

But ordinary people couldn’t stand it. It didn’t take long before they felt cold all over and couldn’t help shivering and retreating.

The closer you get to the old locust tree, the colder it gets.

But this master just sat there motionless on the tree, as if he had just woken up from a deep dream.

"Mr. Zhuang, your friend is truly an extraordinary woman."

The county magistrate couldn't help but say.

He could not understand how he could enter the ghost fog nest and not die, and was so brave that he even took a nap.

"She is indeed a remarkable woman."

Zhuang Mochen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had been worried about Xie Lian's safety and had been running around all night, but he didn't expect that she had a good sleep.

It really leaves one speechless.

However, he finally let go of his tense expression and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Mr. Xie...you slept soundly, but we stayed awake all night."

Xie Lian was stunned, having no idea what was happening in the outside world.

"what?"

The county magistrate simply condescended to act as a commentator and explained the whole story and everything that happened last night.

Upon hearing this, Xie Lian immediately fell into deep thought.

"It turned out that it wasn't a tree demon that was causing trouble, but a vicious ghost that had taken up residence in the old locust tree. I accidentally stumbled into the ghost fog's lair. If it weren't for the reliable bronze tripod, I would have probably died here... I am very lucky, but Mr. Zhuang has suffered. With his personality, he must be feeling guilty, otherwise he wouldn't have wandered outside all night."

A warm feeling surged through Xie Lian’s heart. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Nothing can reveal a person’s true character more clearly than an ordeal.

When it comes to interactions between people, it’s not about time, but about whether you’re interacting with the right person. At least in Xie Lian’s heart, he already considers this middle-aged man, whom he has only known for a few days, as a friend.

"Mr. Xie is really lucky. The City God must have come last night and destroyed the evil spirit with the force of thunder. Mr. Xie was lucky enough to save his life."

The county magistrate finally gave a summary analysis.

He was originally going to call her Miss, but when he remembered that Zhuang Mochen called Xie Lian Sir, he did the same.

Many people agree with this analysis. If it weren’t for the intervention of the City God, how could Xie Lian have saved his life?
Many people have even brought their families to pay homage to the City God.

But Xie Lian had a strange look on his face.

"That's exactly what you said, sir. This is the only possibility. Thank you, Lord City God."

Xie Lian showed a look of fear on his face.

But she knew very well that this matter had nothing to do with the so-called City God, and it was clearly something she solved independently.

But there was no need to talk about this matter anymore. If no one believed it, it would be fine. If someone believed it and regarded her as an immortal again, it would be a big trouble. It was not that she had to keep a low profile or did not like to show off in front of others.

But she is very clear about her situation. I am just a newbie who dreams of embarking on the path of cultivation...

I'm really not an immortal!

……

"This senior must be a true immortal on earth!"

A voice sounded with great certainty.

The person who said this was the City God of Xiaoning County.

At this moment, he had already retrieved the City God's Seal from the evil ghost, and thus entered the City God's Palace again.

It was very traumatic for him when the City God's Palace was breached by evil spirits before, but fortunately his foundation was still there. Now that he has taken over the Palace for the second time, he can still stabilize the situation.

The City God of the Underworld creates his own world and cannot be seen by living people.

It is just a county city god's palace, but it is full of majesty. Looking down from a high place, the entire building looks like a palace complex.

There are morning bells and evening drums, armored soldiers holding sharp weapons, and towering and steep city walls.

All the palaces stood in neat rows without a single mismatch; even the black bricks on the ground fitted tightly together without a single flaw.

This is the law of the underworld. Although the city god of a county is small, he is still majestic as a righteous god.

Who would have thought that such a place that exudes majesty at all times was actually breached by evil spirits not long ago, and even the city god was driven out...

It was such a great shame and humiliation that not only the City God, but also all the officials and ghost messengers in the City God's Mansion were holding back their anger.

So after the evil ghost was captured, it was first given a "soul-fixing pill" to prevent its soul from flying away, and then it was subjected to seventy-two kinds of torture, one after another.

It has to be said that it contains some personal emotions.

But in the end, nothing was asked. The evil ghost was like a fool, feeling no pain, with a dull look in his eyes, which remained the same throughout.

Therefore, the City God's Palace determined that although the evil ghost's true spirit had not dissipated, it had been fragmented. Even if it was released, it would not be able to cause any waves.

It was this discovery that made the City God of Xiaoning County sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Just as the City God of Changxing County said before, it is not too difficult for some masters to kill the evil ghost, but it is too difficult to destroy its Taoism and beat its true spirit into this state.

Of course, he didn't know that the reason why the evil ghost's true spirit became like this was because after his Taoism was drained by the bronze tripod, he suddenly collapsed and couldn't accept it. It was a self-destruction...

He attributed all this to Xie Lian, and felt more and more like a towering figure.

"Since we can't get anything out of him, let's search his soul. Although searching his soul will cause great harm to his body and may very likely cause his soul to scatter, he has committed a heinous crime in himself. Even if his soul scatters, it is the ending he deserves..."

The City God did not hesitate too much. Seeing that torture was useless, he took the lead and began to search the soul.

Unfortunately, the evil ghost's true spirit collapsed too completely, leaving only scattered memories.

"It turned out to be an evil ghost raised by the lame immortal Hu Yibao of Danxia Mountain. Luckily, it developed intelligence and escaped when the immortal was not paying attention, all the way to my Xiaoning County... No wonder, no wonder!"

The City God read some of the memories with a feeling of gnashing his teeth.

Why is this evil ghost so cunning? It turns out he is related to the Taoist master?
However, this Danxia Mountain is a famous and authentic family, and its alchemy skills are quite famous. The lame immortal is also a true Taoist practitioner, so why would he raise evil ghosts?
If I ever meet that lame immortal one day, I will definitely ask him for clarification!

The City God put aside the matter of the Lame Immortal for the moment. What he wanted to know most was the information about Xie Lian.

But it only took a moment from the time Sha Gui and Xie Lian met to the time they were killed, so how much information could have been retained?

The memory of that part was even more shattered. The City God didn't get any useful information in the end. He only knew to look through the memories related to Xie Lian. The evil ghost's emotions fluctuated greatly, releasing a strong sense of fear...

It’s hard to imagine what it has been through...

Therefore, the City God of Xiaoning County was under great pressure and said with a wry smile.

"This person has done me a great favor. Logically, I should repay him. Otherwise, I will be in debt to such a person. But I am just a county god. What can I do to repay his kindness? Sigh, this is really a big problem!"
