Chapter 125: The Pig in the Road
Song Wuji frowned.

Although the pig demon was dead, something was very wrong.

Using the stove fire to refine the pig demon's corpse, nothing was produced, only a wisp of original demonic energy and the aroma of roasted pork.

After a brief thought, Song Wuji sighed, "Dad! Mom! Brother! Sister-in-law! Your great vengeance has finally been avenged!"

Then he helped Lin Pandi out of the Wild Boar Hill Pickled Corpse Forest.

Chen Xiu was surprised when he saw Song Wuji helping someone out. "Where's the pig demon?"

"I've killed it." Song Wuji said, "I was going to kill it for you, but that pig demon was cunning. But it doesn't matter. I can find another eighth-grade demon for you."

Chen Xiu sighed, "If I had known earlier, I would have gone in with him. What a pity!"

Behind the forest of pickled corpses, the pig demon's figure gradually rose from the ground: "Luckily, I, the old pig, have a magical power of form substitution. I hope that faking my death can delay this killer for a while. Once I, the old pig, comprehend the relic treasure, there will be no need to be so frustrated!"

No wonder I can't see the name!

Song Wuji's ears moved slightly. Ever since he comprehended the magical power of calling the wind, he could hear news from far away through the wind. It was what was called a wind-hearing ear.

The nameless pig demon is actually a fake puppet.

Song Wuji thought there was some method to conceal his real name, just like the spell [Hide the Soul].

This pig demon is really cowardly. He knows illusion, formation, puppetry, and earth escape... He is just like the protagonist of Gou Daowen, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and he will keep pretending to be a pig to the end.

That's right, if he didn't know the puppet technique, how could he have successfully refined these pickled corpses?

After leaving the Pickled Corpse Forest, Song Wuji whispered, "This demon is incredibly cunning. I've expended so much energy just to kill its fake body, yet it still refuses to engage me head-on."

"So what are you going to do?" Chen Xiu asked, "How about we go in and deal with him again?"

"This demon is nearly as intelligent as a demon. The tiger demon is intelligent, but arrogant. The Luohu python is intelligent, but ambitious. These two demons have weaknesses in their character, but I haven't seen this demon's weaknesses. In the early days, he served under the tiger demon, not in hiding. Instead, he tried to get the tiger demon to invest in him, opened a meat market, and raised the people. He even became the second in command."

"Once the tiger demon is weak, this demon will choose its prey. Later, when it saw me, it was willing to give up its own interests and run away. After returning to its lair, it made various arrangements and even thought of faking its own death to escape."

Chen Xiu took a deep breath and said, "How could this monster be so magnanimous?"

Song Wuji nodded. "If you don't remove the roots, they will grow again in the spring breeze. So, in addition to us, we should find a few more capable and resourceful people to encircle and suppress them together. There is even a secret realm in this forest of pickled corpses. I haven't found the entrance to enter the secret realm and reach the pig demon's lair."

"Where can we find some capable people?"

Song Wuji said, "Indeed, there are. The three elders of the Caisheng Sect and the three evil beggars from Baliting Charity Manor have asked me for something. I'll see if there's any way I can persuade them. County Lieutenant Chen, you continue to observe here for a while."

Chen Xiu said, "It's not that troublesome. We are really in a mess. Fortunately, we have over 200 soldiers in the city. We can surround the corpse forest."

"If it were an ordinary demon, you could do this, but the Seven Souls and Seven Poisons are really vicious and can take advantage of human weaknesses, which is enough to make you kill each other." Then he controlled the smoke and dust and fled to the Baliting Charity Cemetery.

The battle to defend the city resulted in many people being disabled. Except for the Kitchen God who could walk, most people were eligible to join the Beggars' Sect and learn the Beggars' mental skills, martial arts, and spells. Therefore, Baliting Charity House has gradually become a "Beggar Village".

Although it is a beggar village, it is actually a "dog farm" for beggar disciples.

Compared to the saying "A Taoist priest has fifteen dogs and can walk around the whole area sideways", here it is just one beggar and three dogs. The beggars need dogs to raise dogs, eat dogs, and learn animal-making techniques.

In addition to the dogs and beggar disciples, there are also stove disciples here. After all, beggars also need to eat and get supplies. Song Wuji looked at the new stove that was built by imitating his own method of building a stove. Although it was not a well-organized structure, it had become a place for people to live.

Looking at the Hungry Ghost Tree again, there were only a few more hungry ghosts around it, and some high-level hungry ghosts appeared. Originally, the hungry ghosts were not up to the ninth level, but now there were taller hungry ghosts with bigger stomachs. They looked a bit like the mountain demon Bogang, sitting on the ground and eating non-stop.

[Big-bellied Hungry Ghost]
Song Wuji looked at the name of the hungry ghost, and then looked at the whole tree of "Hungry Ghost Road. Hungry Ghost Wood", which seemed to have grown a lot bigger.

"The tiger demon and the python are dead, and the pig demon will soon be dead. The next step is to open up transportation and communicate with the capital. Otherwise, without information, it will be difficult to develop faster."

When they stepped into the charity cemetery, they found that the three Beggars' elders had become fat.

Their faces had changed from being pale and thin to being fat and big-eared. If they were not dressed in tattered clothes, Song Wuji would not have recognized them.

Is this because every disciple who came to join the Caisheng Sect was given five-spiced dog legs as an offering, and the three of them were fed until they became fat?

There were also a few disciples who were good at talking, serving the emperor and pouring tea and water.

There was even a blind street singer singing a little tune with some color.

The elder who was teaching the skills even commented, "Indeed, your singing skills are good enough to join the Beggars' Sect's Quyi School. We brothers have come to the right place. In just half a month, we have already recruited seventy or eighty disciples."

He immediately said, "In addition to the Can Yi Jing, I will also teach you a new method, Lotus Fall. This method is passed down by the Quyi School. Through words, it sows the seeds of confusion and control of the mind. Those who fall under this method are bewitched by ghosts. They will do whatever you say. If you want money, you will give it. If you want sex, you will give it to them. They are very carefree and unrestrained. It is really amazing."

The blind singing man was delighted after hearing this. He not only played his musical instruments but also sang and tried his best to please the three beggar elders. He immediately began to learn the Lotus Falling technique.

"The Lotus Falling Heart Technique originated from the White Lotus Sect. Once a lotus falls to the ground, it takes root and grows into a white lotus..."

Since the Beggars' Sect worships the God of Poverty, Song Wuji is unable to learn the Beggars' Sect's martial arts, but he also feels that all of them are unorthodox and evil ways, even the White Lotus Sect has appeared. However, Song Wuji has always been a take-what-you-need approach. Now that the world is in chaos due to demons, anyone who can kill demons can unite.

As they walked into the charity cemetery, the three elders instantly became more aggressive and countered Song Wuji's momentum.

It turned out that Song Wuji's walking posture used the stance training from the Wind Tiger Killing Fist, walking like a dragon and a tiger, to maximize his power.

However, it turned out that these three Beggar Sect elders were indeed at the eighth level, not the seventh level. They could be dealt with, but there was no need.

"Eh? Kitchen God Cult kid, you've reached the eighth rank so quickly? Are you planning to descend into the netherworld, pass the five levels, and become a seventh-rank Divine Ghost Chef? It's just the right time to bring up the rare treasures of my Beggar Sect founder. We can tell you the whereabouts of a Kitchen God Cult treasure, the Ruyi Rolling Pin!"
