She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 9 What kind of bad taste is this?

"master!"

"father!"

"Master Zhuang!"

Zhuang Mochen suddenly ran out, and Zhuang Yan and Youfu, needless to say, followed him directly.

The village elder who had just said this never expected Zhuang Mochen's reaction to be so great.

After a moment of hesitation, he also chased after him.

"Master Zhuang, you must not do that. The City God has warned us not to go out at night to avoid any accidents!"

The village elders hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Mr. Zhao, you don't know that I have a friend who is accompanying me back to my hometown. Although we have only known each other for a few days, we share similar interests and can be called a mentor and helpful friend... Earlier, when I came here to look for you, I asked her to go to the old house to rest first."

Zhuang Mochen said quickly and anxiously.

"Ah... Isn't that a dead end?"

The village elder opened his mouth wide and sentenced Xie Lian to death.

Going out at night is dangerous in itself, let alone going to a "forbidden area". Isn't this like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?
"It is not the behavior of a gentleman to watch someone in danger and not help him. If Mr. Xie were to encounter such a disaster, I would never be able to rest in peace for the rest of my life."

Zhuang Mochen shook his head. He wanted to see the body either alive or dead. He couldn't just watch Xie Lian fall into danger and do nothing.

"But there is a vicious ghost in your old house. If you go, you will just give up one more life. Why bother?"

The village elder sighed.

"A gentleman is open and honest. I am a disciple of the saint. I have studied all my life and I have a righteous spirit. No evil spirit can get close to me!"

Zhuang Mochen was determined and had no intention of backing down.

After all, the village elder was very old, and after following for a few steps, his legs became a little inconvenient. Besides, he was really afraid and didn't want to go forward.

"Master Zhuang's stubborn temper hasn't changed at all. It's exactly the same as when he was a child..."

The village elder shook his head. He had watched Zhuang Mochen grow up, and he knew that this man had always had such a stubborn temper since he was young.

This temper can be good or bad.

They are persistent and can accomplish things, but they are also prone to getting stuck in a rut and becoming overly radical.

There are always many people in the village talking about it. If Zhuang Mochen had changed his temper and been more tactful, with his abilities, he might have been more than just a fourth-rank counselor.

Now he doesn't know that Zhuang Mochen has resigned.

So he felt that this matter was extremely tricky. No matter how insignificant the Counselor was in Fengdu, he was definitely a big shot in Xiaoning County.

If such a person died here, it would be a huge event, and I'm afraid even the county magistrate would be held accountable.

It would be fine if he didn't know about this, but now that he knows, he must do something.

He didn't have the courage to accompany Zhuang Mochen to the old house, but he still had some courage to go to the county government to report the news.

He went home to get a lantern, stuffed a handful of yellow talismans into his pocket, muttered to himself, praying for the gods to bless him, and went straight to the county government office.

Although he intended to make some efforts within his ability to save Zhuang Mochen's life, he was not optimistic in his heart.

If Zhuang Mochen rushed over so recklessly, would he still have a chance to survive? I'm afraid it would be too late by the time the county government took action.

As for the "righteousness" mentioned by Zhuang Mochen, he did not take it seriously at all.

Scholars who read books thoroughly and become great scholars have upright characters and can indeed develop some "righteousness".

But this can only scare ordinary kids. When encountering some powerful ones, scholars are still weak.

Before long, Zhuang Mochen arrived at the street corner. The gray fog made it impossible for him to move forward.

He didn't have Xie Lian's "magic eyes", so he could only hold Zhuang Yan tightly and wander around in the fog.

"Mr. Xie, please don't let anything happen to you, or I will never be at peace for the rest of my life..."

He muttered anxiously.

……

At this moment, Xie Lian was in a very urgent situation.

The gate to the courtyard was sealed and could not be broken open.

She could only turn around and face the evil ghost.

Of course, she didn't know that her opponent was a demon, but a ghost living in the old locust tree. She had a preconceived notion that she was facing a legendary tree demon.

But whether it was an evil ghost or a tree demon, it didn’t matter. What mattered was that the other party wanted her life.

Chi la la!
Seven or eight blood-red mists emerged from the locust tree. Each mist was as thick as a baby’s arm. They looked like seven or eight ropes, coming from all directions and instantly hooking onto Xie Lian’s body.

Then he dragged it towards the old locust tree.

The human faces on the bark all showed greedy looks.

Even drooling fishy saliva.

“It wants to eat me!!!”

Xie Lian immediately understood what he meant.

But what she didn't know was that evil ghosts don't actually eat humans, only monsters like to eat humans.

But there was no way. Her body had been transformed by the cloud energy and had been reborn. In the eyes of the evil ghost, it was a great tonic. If she ate Xie Lian, she might be able to condense her true body and have the hope of becoming a ghost fairy in the future.

No ghost can resist this kind of temptation.

Therefore, the evil ghost would rather interrupt his practice temporarily in order to capture Xie Lian!
Xie Lian didn't know many things, but she was very clear about one thing: she didn't want to die! Especially she didn't want to be eaten alive!
In extreme fear, she burst into intense anger.

"Why!"

"As soon as I crossed over, I was stabbed for no reason at the execution ground!"

"You just walked into a random yard, without any grudges or hatred, and you want to eat me!?"

"I haven't offended anyone, why should I suffer this?"

"If you want to eat me, I will fight you to the death!"

Xie Lian gritted his teeth, his face looking somewhat ferocious.

Having been beheaded before and experiencing the terror between life and death, I absolutely do not want to experience it a second time.

Moreover, compared to her helplessness when she was in danger last time, she may not be powerless to fight back now!

She flipped her hand and the bronze tripod fell into her palm.

The bronze tripod was somewhere between reality and illusion, so normally only Xie Lian could see it. A mere evil ghost would naturally have no way of discovering it.

But Xie Lian held back and did not act rashly.

When she was dragged to two steps away from the locust tree, she suddenly jumped up, grabbed the bronze tripod and threw it towards the hateful human face.

"Life or death depends on this one gamble!"

She placed all her hopes on the bronze tripod.

Although the bronze tripod seems to have no offensive power, it is a divine object after all, and it may have miraculous effects.

call out!
The bronze tripod came flying like an arrow, and the evil ghost was completely unprepared and was hit head on by the bronze tripod.

But the bronze cauldron itself really has no attack power. The evil ghost was even wondering what this "food" was doing. Why did it make a throwing motion at me for no reason, but ended up throwing air?

Ok?
wrong!

But the next moment, it produced a pain that was almost like losing the soul.

The bronze tripod did not have any offensive power, and it did not intend to use it as an object to smash people, but it seemed to be very interested in the Yin veins under the roots of the locust tree. The moment it came into contact with the tree, it almost embedded itself into the bark...

The power in the Yin Meridian was instantly drawn out and continuously poured into the bronze tripod.

The remaining cloud in the tripod leaped for joy. The newly entered power seemed to be of great benefit to it. Although it did not make it stronger, the rust on the bronze tripod began to fall off a little...

With the help of the locust tree roots and the City God's seal, the evil ghost was able to absorb a large amount of Yin Vein power. But at this moment it was horrified to find that the bronze tripod's absorption capacity was more than a hundred times greater than its own!
In almost an instant, the power of the Yin Meridian was drained away.

This kind of greedy demand was even indiscriminate. As it practiced Yin Meridian cultivation, its body was of course full of Yin Meridian power. When the bronze tripod absorbed it, it also took away the power in its body indiscriminately!

"How can this be!!!"

The evil ghost was on the verge of collapse, and there was a look of intense horror in his eyes as he looked at Xie Lian.

What method is this?
Who on earth did I offend?

Even the "Danxia Mountain Immortal" who had previously made me unable to move, definitely did not have such incredible means!

Thinking of the fear that Xie Lian had "deliberately" revealed before, it felt that hell was empty and the devil was in the world.

With such means, he still pretends to be a weak little woman to seduce me. What kind of evil taste is this?

The human race is truly terrifying!
