No taboos

Chapter 517 How Terrifying (8,000 words)

No one knew that the "deadly law" originated from a peasant uprising in southeastern Zhengzhou.

The impact affected two prefectures and seven counties, affecting hundreds of thousands of impoverished people.

This place was originally characterized by many mountains and little arable land, and the soil was barren.

The imperial court's taxes are already very heavy.

After a year of hard work, 70% of the grain harvested from the fields must be handed over to the state.

What's left is barely enough to feed the whole family.

Sometimes, during the lean months when food was scarce, we had to dig up wild vegetables and peel tree bark to mix with the little grain we had left to stave off hunger and get through the month.

But that year, copper mines were discovered in the nearby mountains.

They wanted to start mining, so they added a "mining donation silver".

They were driven to the point where they had no way to survive.

The people in the villages were in high spirits, and at first they simply gathered in front of the county government office to plead for their lives.

But the local officials were terrified and hid inside the yamen, refusing to come out.

The people's demands went unanswered, and they became increasingly agitated. When the local official saw this, he absconded with the money through the back door while immediately ordering his troops to suppress the riot!
This ultimately led to a massive popular uprising that spanned two prefectures and seven counties.

By the time the imperial court dispatched troops to suppress the unrest and completely quell the turmoil, half of the local population had already perished in the chaos.

One important event in this period was that the militia of a certain county broke through a fortified village belonging to a prominent family, capturing the family, the county magistrate, and a group of clerks and staff members in the county government.

Only after severe torture and interrogation did they learn that the imperial court had not actually levied any additional "mining tax silver".

Even this copper mine was never reported to the imperial court by the local authorities.

In other words, the imperial court was completely unaware of all of this.

Local people want to start mining, and starting mining requires silver.

No one could possibly pay that much money.

What should I do?
We can only make the common people suffer even more.

These woodworms are incredibly audacious!
As a result, officials colluded with local powerful clans, with the government increasing taxes and the powerful clans taking over the collection of taxes.

The so-called tax farming system for large clans was passed down from the previous dynasty.

The government would transfer the tax revenue of a certain place to a large family, for example, five thousand taels of silver.

So, the six thousand taels were given to the common people, and they didn't care how much the common people received in return.

All that's needed is for the major family to pay six thousand taels in the end.

The people who learned the truth were furious.

We are all subjects of the Ming Dynasty, born of the same parents. Why do you treat us like dirt, oppressing us at will and denying us any chance to live?
Why do people with the same talents have such different fates?!
At this time, the imperial army arrived and surrounded them.

The rebels' path to survival was blocked.

The general in charge of the imperial army sympathized with the rebels and sent envoys to persuade them to surrender, saying that they would accept the surrender if the county magistrate and the powerful families were safely escorted out.

It can ensure everyone's safety; at most, they will be exiled to the border regions to dig canals.

But that powerful family usually acted arrogantly and domineeringly in the countryside.

Seeing the imperial army outside, they felt they had something to rely on and arrogantly shouted: You lowly people are rebelling against your superiors and don't know what's good for you!
Today you have destroyed our home, tomorrow we will surely make your family ruined and your descendants extinct!
The righteous soldiers could no longer restrain themselves and swarmed forward, hacking the entire family, the county magistrate, and others to death!

When the general in command saw the heads thrown out of the fortified village, he looked up to the sky and sighed, then reluctantly ordered the troops to advance.

A bloody battle ensued, resulting in the tragic deaths of 20,000 righteous soldiers.

Strange occurrences and the gathering of countless wronged souls—thus, a new law was born in this fortified village.

Why should people with the same fate have different lives?

"Your life is precious, but mine is worthless?"

"Take your life from me!"

This law is not only for "humans", but can also be applied to birds, beasts, and evil spirits!
Luo Bei felt that Wei Jinyuan was no longer of any value.

However, in order to maintain her good image, she did not immediately drive Wei Jinyuan away, and on the surface, she still treated Wei Jinyuan with the same enthusiasm as before.

But Uncle Xi and the others had a strange feeling that Luo Bei had lost interest in their young master.

Although they didn't understand why, they did breathe a sigh of relief.

Luo Bei needed to make some preparations, so before leaving, he feigned an invitation to Wei Jinyuan: "I am going to visit some of my father's old friends. Would you like to come along, Brother Wei?"

Wei Jinyuan waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm not going."

Luo Bei went there on his own.

As soon as he stepped out, Wei Jinyuan waited for a moment before quietly approaching the window.

He lived on the second floor of the inn, with the inn's main entrance right below his window.

He knew that Luo Bei was no ordinary person, so he dared not openly spy on him.

He pushed the window open a crack and watched Luo Bei leave the inn and walk away—Luo Bei had been in a dominant position the whole way.

Wei Jinyuan behaved very ordinarily, completely lacking the high spirits he had in Beidu.

This is because he had already been dealt with by Lord Xu, and he had calmed down.

However, Luo Bei mistakenly believed that Wei Jinyuan was just an ordinary person, and that his fame was entirely due to him being the eldest son of Lord Wei Shiqi, which was something others had exaggerated to curry favor with Wei Shiqi.

Luo Bei underestimated Wei Jinyuan and was completely unprepared for him.

Once Luo Bei was out of sight, Wei Jinyuan immediately called over Uncle Xi and whispered, "Cover me up as I slip out."

Uncle Xi was surprised, and Wei Jinyuan urged, "Quick! I need to see Lord Xu. We can't let Luo Bei find out!"

What if Luo Bei comes back if we delay any longer?

Uncle Xi nodded.

There are still people from Luobei in the inn.

But Uncle Xi was only a fourth-rate person, so it was easy for him to fool these people.

After leaving the inn, Wei Jinyuan rushed towards the Champa government office without stopping for a moment.

Xu Yuan was surprised to hear that Wei Jinyuan had arrived, but after thinking for a moment, he still instructed, "Let him in."

Wei Jinyuan rushed in anxiously, and Xu Yuan sneered when he saw his hurried appearance, saying sarcastically, "You're too devoted to Luo Bei, aren't you? I already said I wouldn't see him, and you still want to come and act as a go-between?"

Wei Jinyuan was stunned: "What? I was devoted to him?"

Xu Yuan chuckled mischievously, "Young Master Wei, there's no need to be embarrassed. I've heard that your relationship with Luo Bei is quite extraordinary. Although I can't understand it, I respect your choice. Moreover, I've heard that in Zhengzhou, this kind of relationship is quite fashionable..."

Wei Jinyuan's face visibly turned red in an instant, and he roared in fury: "Nonsense! Who spread these rumors to you!"

He understood.

Xu Yuan was stunned: "Isn't that right...?"

Lord Xu still had integrity and did not sell Nanzhenchuan.

It now appears to have been a misunderstanding.

If Nan Zhenchuan is sold, then it's like selling Uncle Xi and the other two.

"Of course not!" Wei Jinyuan denied it outright, then remembered that he had important business to attend to, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Oh, don't waste your breath on these trivial matters, I have something important to tell you—you must be careful of Luo Bei, he has ill intentions towards you!"

Wei Jinyuan quickly recounted his encounter with Luo Bei and how he was dragged back to Champa.

Finally, he said, "Although I have no evidence, I am quite certain that this guy is no good!"

No matter how good his reputation is, it's all an illusion!
Whether you believe me or not, I've already warned you.

I have to hurry back, lest he return and discover something amiss!

Xu Yuan asked in confusion, "Why...why are you being so kind as to remind me?"

Wei Jinyuan was also taken aback.

Yeah, why?

Although she and Xu Yuan hadn't completely fallen out, their relationship was far from good.

Xu Yuan also extorted money from him multiple times!
He wanted to pursue Miss Jinxi, but because of Xu Yuan, he had completely lost hope.

Finally, Wei Jinyuan realized something: "Compared to a true villain like you, I hate a hypocrite like Luo Bei even more!"

Xu Yuan's face visibly turned red.

"You come back here!"

Let's make things clear, who's the real bad guy...?

Wei Jinyuan ran away in a flash.

Lord Xu was furious. "I am an upright official, selfless, impartial, and honorable!"
How did it break?!

Wei Jinyuan, you scion of a noble family, you have such poor taste.

"No wonder you and Luo Bei hit it off!"

Lord Xu has made up his mind. Regardless of whether there was such a thing between Wei Jinyuan and Luo Bei, in his mind, that's what it was!
I'll also help you spread this word widely!
Spread this message out, spread it to the Northern Capital.

After sulking for a while, Xu Yuan began to think about what Wei Jinyuan had said.

Subconsciously, Xu Yuan trusted Wei Jinyuan's judgment.

If someone wants to harm you, you certainly can't let it go unchecked.

Xu Yuan wasn't the arrogant type; if danger arose, he needed to prepare in advance.

"We need to send someone to keep an eye on that guy in secret."

But who should we send to keep an eye on things?
He has a wealth of talented people under his command.

But they all need time to grow.

Currently, no matter who it is, anyone who follows Luo Bei for an extended period of time will inevitably be discovered by Luo Bei.

Suddenly, Lord Xu had a flash of inspiration, got up and walked outside.

……

The geese have recently become keen on marking their territory.

His Highness's building is not even finished yet, but they have already set their sights on the top floor.

Therefore, it kept circling around that building.

Although they were driven away once, they returned as soon as His Highness left.

Mr. Lan also knew that His Highness was not really making things difficult for these geese, but was just temporarily looking for someone to vent his anger on.

With the geese outside, Dafu's home became peaceful.

These past few days I've been having such a good time with the waterbird sisters—it would be even better if it weren't for that damned "dream come true" thing, and the occasional yellow-bodied warbler coming over to stir things up.

Today, Dafu was feeding the waterbird sister small fish when a yellow shadow drifted leisurely over—

The waterbird sisters immediately erupted in chaos!

That bastard is too arrogant!

However, they could only deal with minor evil spirits in shallow waters at best, and they dared not say they could easily defeat wild geese.

Against a Yellow-bodied Warbler, it would be a complete waste.

The waterbirds were so angry that their feathers bristled, but they couldn't do anything about the yellow-bodied warbler.

As a result, Dafu suffered a misfortune.

Dafu was furious and went after the yellow-bodied oriole.

It can indeed subdue the Yellow-bodied Warbler, but there is a prerequisite: the Yellow-bodied Warbler has to fight back.

In a fight, the Yellow-bodied Oriole would be no match.

But the Yellow-bodied Warbler can fly. If the Yellow-bodied Warbler doesn't fight back and just floats in the sky, Dafu has no chance against it.

Dafu tried to spit, but Huangshenying nimbly dodged it.

The waterbird sisters chirped and complained, "We chose the wrong person! You already have a family, yet you still go out and flirt with other women, attracting these vixens. Our lives are so miserable..."

Dafu was in a real bind, his eyes were red with anger—when suddenly he saw Fanzhezi coming.

Dafu pleaded for help with great enthusiasm.

Fan Zhezi was very helpful today, kicking "Dreams Come True" which was hiding outside the wall, causing "Dreams Come True" to take back the Yellow Oriole.

Dafu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fan Zhezi really delivered today!

But Dafu suddenly wondered: Why are you being so nice to me today?

Is there something dangerous I need to do?

It stared at the rice trough, pondering what benefits it should ask for.

As a result, Fan Zhezi led "Dreams Come True" away.

Dafu found it strange and quietly followed behind.

Fan Zhezi "hid" away from him and gave "Dream Come True" instructions. Huang Shenying stood on the roof of the car and nodded obediently like a mechanical bird.

Then the yellow-bodied warbler took flight—

Fan Zhezi and "Dreams Come True" then left, but Dafu seemed somewhat lost for some reason.

If you ask it to do something, it's getting a little annoyed.

But when the bird didn't go looking for it, but instead went looking for other birds, it couldn't tolerate it even more!
Dafu then quietly slipped out through the back door of the courtyard.

The yellow-bodied warbler soars high in the sky.

Xu Yuan chose the Yellow-bodied Warbler instead of Dafu this time because the Yellow-bodied Warbler can fly.

Although Dafu has the characteristic of "ignoring stealth", it is easy to lose track of it when it runs on the ground.

From its high vantage point, the yellow-bodied warbler could see most of Champa at a glance.

Before long, they found a target that matched the master's description.

It looked down and saw everything, but somehow it completely missed Dafu.

The yellow-bodied warbler chased after Luo Bei, while Da Fu, with its head held high, followed it from the ground.

I accidentally bumped into a pedestrian's leg. The person cried out and looked down to see a large white goose running past.

But in an instant, he forgot all about it and looked completely bewildered: "What just bumped into me?"

……

The craftsmen in Luobei are only of fifth-rate quality.

He built a "Wanqiao Building" in his hometown of Xiangyang. It has seven floors, and each floor has a different kind of mechanism.

Used for recreational purposes.

It's free, open to the public, and anyone can go in and broaden their horizons.

Outsiders only know that he is skilled in mechanical arts, but they don't know that his real strength is in crafting flesh and blood objects.

Like Sun Shou.

After leaving Luobei, he first took a stroll around the city.

Although it was daytime, he had already figured out the situation of evil spirits on several main streets in the city.

Then he selected an area in the southern part of the city.

This place is called Bitter Water Cellar.

It's inside the southeast corner of the city wall, a little to the west.

When Champa was first built, for some reason, the water from every well you dug was bitter.

Thus, this place became the settlement of the poorest people in Champa.

This has remained true even now.

Luo Bei circled around this place several times.

Not only to find out the evil spirits lurking in this place, but also to lure out some villains who "make a living through poverty and wicked schemes".

Luo Bei knew very well that his fine clothes made him an easy target in this kind of place.

He circled around several times, and while the residents did look at him with strange eyes, no one secretly followed him, wanting to rob him, this fat sheep.

Luo Bei muttered to himself, "This Xu Yuan really has done a good job maintaining order in Champa..."

No one took the bait, and Luo Bei didn't care. He walked out of the south gate and strolled into the wilderness.

He knew that this place, near the river and mountains, was teeming with evil spirits.

He continued his search in the mountains.

Although it was daytime, all sorts of evil spirits would emerge as soon as they arrived at the deserted place.

Luo Bei passed by a melon field.

The watermelons have green rinds and black stripes, and each one is about the size of a human head.

But the melon patch was littered with bones!
Some are human, some are wild.

They were just passing by and thirsty. After eating the melon, the seeds grew from their bodies.

Their flesh and blood naturally became the nourishment for this melon.

As for why people would still dare to gossip after seeing so many skeletons—that's because ordinary people and beasts can't see them. Luo Bei is a powerful cultivator with his own tricks, which allow him to see through certain "illusions."

He was very interested and went over to pick a melon.

The vines and leaves throughout the entire melon field trembled and shook with excitement.

Good heavens, Uncle Gua has been occupying this mountain for far too long.

Everyone who comes and goes knows this place is strange. Uncle Gua hasn't given out big prizes in a long time.

Today, finally, someone blind has appeared, and I, the Melon Master, have found my match!
Luo Bei picked a melon and cut it open with one slap.

The flesh of the melon is reddish-brown, very juicy, and exudes an enticing sweet aroma.

But Luo Bei remained unmoved, searching through the melon pulp and scooping out all the seeds.

Luo Bei assessed the situation but ultimately shook his head, muttering to himself in disappointment, "Not suitable."

Wei Jinyuan once said that Xu Yuan was exceptionally capable.

His goal was to befriend Xu Yuan and become his "closest friend," so he couldn't reveal any flaws.

If Xu Yuan sees through me, I'll have no friends left.

He stood up and threw the sunflower seeds away.

But the sunflower seeds stuck to my hands.

Each seedling is sprouting strong and ready to burrow into the flesh of Luobei!
Gua Ye couldn't take it anymore.

After months of waiting, we finally get this one prey; we can't let him escape no matter what!
Luo Bei sneered and then clenched his fist again.

The melon seeds turned to ashes and slipped through his fingers.

The vine from which he picked the melons also withered and died quickly!
However, Luo Bei did not touch the other melons and vines.

Anyone who dares to offend this young master will be severely punished!
But I will not destroy this evil spirit.

This evil spirit is "fair" to all living beings that come and go.

If this evil spirit is eradicated, then no living being passing through this place will be harmed by it—wouldn't that be unfair to the piles of white bones in the melon field?

The melon patch rustled again.

This time, however, I was terrified.

Luo Bei dusted off the ashes on his hands and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Before long, he found another blind snake.

This snake has no eyes on its head, but seven strange mouths grow on its back.

These strange mouths can perform "ventriloquism" and imitate various sounds.

It hides in the thick fog of the mountains, using its ventriloquism to lure passersby, causing them to slip and fall off cliffs, where they become its food.

The blind snake has a layer of mucus on its scales, making it exceptionally sensitive.

I could sense something dangerous approaching from afar.

The blind snake darted into the thick fog.

It has three nests deep in the fog.

They are all very deep stone caves.

The blind snake thought that hiding in the thick fog would keep him away from that guy.

Unexpectedly, Luo Bei chased directly into the thick fog.

The blind snake was terrified, and this time it clearly sensed that the other party was coming for it.

It quickly hid in the deepest of the three caves.

But soon, in despair, they heard that the guy had already blocked the entrance to the cave.

The entrance to the cave was only the size of a human head; Luo Bei couldn't get in.

But Luo Bei is still a divine cultivator.

He beckoned to the shadow at his feet, and a huge demon with a tiger's face and a human body, wearing armor and a blood-red cloak, stepped out.

Then, with a tiger's roar, it transformed into a cloud of black mist and rushed into the cave.

They quickly captured the blind snake, which had resigned itself to its fate and was now limp and lifeless.

Luo Bei pried open its mouth, pulled out its tongue, and knocked out its teeth.

He held it in his hand and examined it for a while, then shook his head in disappointment: "It still doesn't work."

Watermelons and blind snakes can be used to create bizarre cases, but they are easy to expose flaws and be seen through by Xu Yuan.

He tossed the blind snake aside, put his hands behind his back, and left the thick mountain fog.

The blind snake lay frozen on the ground. It took Luo Bei a long time to recover before it shakily retreated into the stone cave and dared not come out for several days.

In this way, Luobei goes very deep into the mountains.

He encountered seven or eight strange things along the way, but none of them satisfied him.

As dusk approached, Luo Bei grew increasingly anxious.

He didn't want to spend the night in the mountains.

This place is very close to Ghost Mountain.

Even if a truly powerful evil spirit were to emerge, he would find it troublesome.

After walking in the mountains for a while, a mosquito suddenly landed on his neck.

Luo Bei's eyes lit up, but he remained motionless, pretending not to notice.

The mosquito bit him, and just as it was about to fly away after sucking its fill of blood, it was enveloped by a gloomy aura.

The mosquito was unable to move.

Standing beside him was the Yin General with a tiger's face and a human body.

With its tiger's mouth open, it spat out a long, sinister tongue resembling that of a hanged ghost, which wrapped around the mosquito and brought it to Luo Bei's eyes.

Luo Bei observed carefully.

"It really is an evil spirit."

But this mosquito is not the evil spirit itself.

Evil spirits are the "plague" on this mosquito.

After a moment, Luo Bei nodded in satisfaction: "Just right."

He thought for a moment, then pulled another ghostly soldier out of the shadows beneath his feet.

Unlike the tiger soldiers, these ghost soldiers had human faces but bat-like bodies.

"Follow it," Luo Bei ordered, then commanded the tiger soldiers to release the mosquito.

The mosquito escaped and quickly flew away.

With ghostly soldiers following him from the sky, Luo Bei was not in a hurry and walked slowly through the mountains with his hands behind his back.

The mosquito flew all the way to the edge of a stinking pond.

There is a crooked, dead tree here, with a shadow beneath it and a writhing dark shape in the center.

Ordinary people wouldn't notice anything amiss.

But Luo Bei could tell that there were countless extremely tiny strange insects in the shadows.

This is the "epidemic".

The mosquito swooped into the shadows and spat out the blood it had just sucked.

Shadows slithered, and the plague insects feasted.

After they had all eaten, Luo Bei walked out with his hands behind his back and a big smile on his face, and asked, "Was it delicious?"

"Would you like some more?"

"I have plenty of blood, eat as much as you want."

The plague insects surged up like a cloud, and the entire area around the pond was filled with a grim and ferocious atmosphere, with a stench that filled the air!

Luo Bei opened his arms and rolled up his sleeves.

A swarm of mosquitoes flew up from the pond and landed on Luo Bei's arm.

Instantly, his arms were covered with mosquitoes, making anyone who saw them feel a chill run down their spine.

But Luo Bei was still all smiles.

The mosquitoes jostled and pushed each other, vying for a spot.

Some of them don't even land on the skin; they fly in the air and impatiently insert their long, sharp mouthparts to drink a mouthful of blood, and their bellies quickly swell up!

The buzzing of mosquitoes was incessant.

Luo Bei's arms were soon covered in bites.

He still had a smile on his face.

More and more mosquitoes flew out of the pond, forming a cloud of black smoke around Luobei!
One group of mosquitoes ate their fill and flew away, and a second group immediately landed.

So many mosquitoes, they practically want to suck Luo Bei dry!
Luo Bei's arms quickly swelled up.

The blood-sucking mosquitoes were thrown into the plague-causing evil spirits, which then feasted on them.

Gradually, Luo Bei's body became somewhat emaciated.

The plague-causing evil spirits also discovered that after the mosquitoes had sucked blood once, they became listless and soon died.

After sucking up all the mosquitoes, Luo Bei was exhausted and felt like he had lost more than ten pounds!
His back was somewhat hunched and bent.

But his smile remained unchanged, still as warm as a spring breeze.

“If you want to drink my blood, I will let you. Friends should share their wealth, and I have done so.”

He stepped forward and raised his hand: "As a friend, I'll take something from you too, that's fair."

A gaping maw appeared in his palm, revealing menacing fangs as the "Deadly Technique" was activated!
The yellow-bodied warbler, perched high above, saw everything clearly.

In these mountains, there are many malevolent birds of prey. After discovering the Yellow-bodied Warbler, they repeatedly attacked it, but all their attacks passed right through the warbler without causing it any harm.

……

Having found what he wanted, Luo Bei had the bat soldiers carry him and quickly flew out of the mountain, returning to Champa before nightfall when the city gates closed.

He didn't go to the Bitter Water Cellar right away, but returned to the inn first.

I checked my room and none of the hidden features were triggered.

He nodded, indicating that no one had come in while he was away.

Then, during dinner, he quietly inquired with his subordinates.

I learned that Wei Jinyuan had not left the house.

Luo Bei sneered, "As expected, he's a piece of trash."

In the middle of the night, Luo Bei suddenly opened his eyes and quietly sat up.

The bat soldiers crawled out from under the mosquito net and attached themselves to his body.

He was like a ghost soldier, able to vanish into thin air and pass through walls!

The yellow-bodied warbler, its wings tucked in and feathers tucked, was dozing on the roof of the inn when it suddenly shuddered and opened its eyes, only to see a shadow slipping out of the inn.

Along the way, Luo Bei did not stop when he encountered any evil spirits and quickly arrived at the Bitter Water Cellar.

He had already identified his target during the day.

The earliest well dug in Kushuijiao has completely collapsed.

It formed a crater.

There was once a local bully who got drunk, fell into a well, drowned, and turned into a corpse demon.

It still occupies this territory to this day.

Its survival for so long is due to one principle: bullying the weak and fearing the strong!

There was also a forked snake by the pond.

This is a small evil spirit, with a slightly smaller head growing out from the side of its head.

It is always oppressed by ghouls.

The ghoul will insist that he likes to eat snake meat.

Every few days they would catch the forked snake, cut off its small head, and chew it raw.

Unfortunately, this snake dies instantly if its large head is cut off, but if its small head is cut off, it can grow back in a few days.

It tried to hide, but as long as it was in the city, no matter where it hid, the corpse demon would drag it out.

It dared not leave the city.

The evil spirits outside the city are too ferocious; you might really lose your life if you're not careful.

Tonight, the forked-headed snake was caught by the corpse demon again, and its newly grown head was chopped off and eaten with wine.

The forked snake, bleeding profusely, whimpered and retreated to its lair.

Suddenly, it saw a fleeting shadow on the broken wall not far away.

The shadow swayed, as if it possessed a captivating and alluring power.

It was drawn in and stared at the shadow for a moment before it drifted toward it.

Then, a voice echoed in its mind: "We are all evil spirits."

"To make a living in this city, one must indulge in the mundane pleasures of life."

Why do they all have to bully you?

Do you want to defy fate and change your destiny?

The forked snake was bewildered; blood was still gushing from the seven-inch mark on its severed head.

"I?"

"Can I... do it?"

The shadow suddenly swelled to a height of three zhang (approximately 10 meters) and became incredibly wide.

The voice rang out again: "Why not?"

"Little evil spirit! I see you have extraordinary bones, and evil energy is breaking through your crown chakra. You must be a cultivation prodigy!"

"Here is an opportunity for you, which will surely help you defy fate and from now on trample all those who once oppressed you under your feet!"

The forked snake had been bewitched and lost its mind; it opened its mouth, revealing its venomous fangs, and hissed loudly.

"it is good!"

"We are all evil spirits, why am I always the one being oppressed? I will defy fate and change my destiny!"

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the shadow, with a wriggling dark shadow in the palm!

Luo Chuan sneered in the darkness.

This "plague worm" is perfect.

Because they are so small, the marks are also very faint.

Even with a thorough investigation, Xu Yuan found it difficult to uncover anything.

He took the "life" of the plague insect and merged with this little evil spirit, and soon he will be able to unleash a plague disaster in the Bitter Water Cellar!
Xu Yuan will definitely be extremely busy at that time.

And if I take the opportunity to help him, I won't have to worry about not being able to forge a deep friendship with him!
As for how many of the poor people in this bitter water cellar will die because of this epidemic—what if they all die?

Luo Bei didn't care.

Birth, aging, illness, and death—these are fair to everyone.

It's a pity that Xu Yuan refused his visit for some reason, even though he had attached a gift list to his invitation card.

Worth a fortune.

If he accepts, it's customary for friends to share money, and before long, I can take his life.

As expected, evil spirits are easier to deceive than people.

The life of the plague insect in Luo Bei's palm was about to be delivered into the mouth of the forked snake.

Suddenly, a "chirping" sound came from the side.

The sound seemed like a natural nemesis, drilling into the forked snake's ears and causing it to shudder and retreat.

With a whoosh, it darted back into its nest.

"Huh?!" Luo Bei was surprised, and anger rose in his heart: Who ruined my good time!

He looked around and saw two little foxes standing on the broken wall he had just come down from, holding their tiny front paws and meowing at him.

Luo Bei frowned, puzzled. What was so scary about two cute and silly little foxes?

Even in terms of the level of evil spirits, it is not high.

Luo Bei ignored it; the most important thing now was to get the forked snake to accept the fate of this swarm of plague insects.

He then said to the forked snake in the cave, "You're afraid of them? They're weak. If you seize this opportunity, you can devour evil spirits of this caliber in one gulp!"

But the forked snake in the cave trembled, its body coiled up, and its voice filled with great fear as it replied, "No! You're talking nonsense! You don't understand! They—are terrifying!"

"I believe you when you say I can defy fate and trample the ghouls under my feet, but you say I can devour them... You must be lying to me, you liar! I will never believe you again!"

Luo Bei was stunned. "You idiot!"

No wonder you always get bullied, you're as stupid as a pig!
What's so scary about these two little foxes?!
He was unaware that the Fox Sisters and Dafu were notorious in the Champa evil circles!

They were known as the "Three Tyrants"!
Xu Yuan didn't let Dafu come because Dafu was his goose, and almost everyone in Zhancheng knew about it.

Lord Xu was worried that Dafu's appearance would expose their existence.

So I sent two little foxes over.

The fox sisters were also filled with fear, and they blamed the villain again and again...

That dark figure not far away is terrifying.
