Chapter 240 Trajectory is also Tao

Thirty seconds later, Li Xuan and the female mountain god appeared at the crossroads. The door to one of the rooms in the wooden house was broken, and the female mountain god rushed over to check the situation...

Because the wooden house was protected by a barrier, she was unable to get close to it after several attempts, but she easily got there now and saw the headless evil god enshrined inside.

Which god is this?
The mountain goddess was born in the mountains and could not even recognize many local deities or statues, let alone deities from foreign lands.

Li Xuan walked over, saw the statue of the evil god, and a black mace appeared in his hand. He casually threw it! Bang! The statue shattered into pieces, and parts resembling internal organs flowed out. The already foul-smelling room instantly turned the female mountain god's spirit pale, and she moved away from the room to retch...

His gaze moved upwards and he saw a photo of a man and a woman.

Kotoko Higa is an exorcist who primarily practices Shintoism. During the few days Li Xuan worked with her at the Queens Building in the United States, they discussed some aspects of Shintoism...

Its doctrines are mainly derived from myths and the reverence for ancestors, and the resulting behaviors can be divided into three types.

Ancestor gods are those who categorize deities from mythology as their ancestors. For example, the Emperor believed that Amaterasu was his ancestor, so the Emperor's lineage is also known as the divine race or the descendants of gods.

The God of Spirits, or "eight million gods," can be understood as the existence of countless deities in the world.

The gods of nature, including the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers, can all become gods; therefore, we should revere the power of nature.

Through reverence for the gods, respect for nature, and adherence to rituals, one can acquire corresponding power. In addition, filial piety is of paramount importance. Without parents, there would be no offspring. Therefore, in many cases, the importance of parents even surpasses the existence of gods...

Li Xuan had seen the movie and knew that the Japanese man was eighty years old because he was born during the Japanese occupation of South Korea, specifically during the three or four decades of Japanese occupation. The portraits of the man and woman hanging on the wall were the Japanese man's parents…

He pointed with his index finger, and the black mace that had fallen to the ground tumbled up, soared into the air, and smashed two picture frames. He said, "He ran away without even taking his parents with him. It seems that filial piety is only lip service."

The female mountain god was somewhat discouraged: "It seems he got away."

Li Xuan pulled out a small, round, black compass with his left hand and chuckled, "If it travels far enough, you can only say it's lucky; if it doesn't travel far enough..."

He looked around, then nimbly leaped to the top of a large tree. The image of the Japanese people flashed through his mind, and he said, "Find Tamura Shun's location."

This compass was a gift from the ghost messenger in the world of "The Exorcist". It can locate a person as long as they know their appearance and name. It can find the person as long as they are within a 50-kilometer radius of the compass, but it won't work outside that range...

It's obvious that the doors of the wooden houses here are very new and damaged. Tamura had only left recently, so he couldn't have gone that fast, not even by car.

The compass needle spun twice and pointed northeast, indicating that Tamura had fled in another direction.

Li Xuan took out his zoom binoculars to search and quickly spotted a figure in the distance crawling on all fours like a wild beast through the forest. It was clear that it was in a hurry...

Because of the trees, its form sometimes disappeared and sometimes appeared.

Li Xuan watched silently for a while, then took out a compound bow from the gourd, nocked an arrow, aimed at the trajectory of Tamura's movement, moved two centimeters in front of him, and released the arrow!
Whoosh!
The arrow flew away with a whooshing sound...

Tamura, who was running wildly through the mountains, felt the alarm bells ringing. Relying on his instincts, he seemed to be on the ground when, thud, an arrow pierced his calf, went through the flesh and came out from the other side!
"what……"

A tearing pain made Tamura tremble all over. He looked in the direction the arrow had come from and saw a young man in a shirt and jeans standing on a tree near the wooden house, holding a bow and aiming it at them...

Bow and arrow!

That's over 400 meters away! Are you kidding me?!
And it was at night! The island nation has been practicing archery for many years; how could Tamura not know the range of an arrow? Hitting a target at long range is harder than climbing to heaven. Not only do you have to estimate the distance, but you also have to consider wind direction, humidity, the target's running speed, and the arrow's landing point, positioning yourself in advance for the shot…

They were hit even at such a distance.

Tamura broke out in a cold sweat.

He snapped the arrow in two, pulled out the arrowhead, and continued running despite the excruciating pain, letting the blood from his wound splatter onto the flowers, grass, and trees along the way...

I won't get shot anymore!
He climbed frantically, moving away from Li Xuan's position at breakneck speed.

Li Xuan glanced at the composite bow in his hand, put it away, and silently took out a heavy sniper rifle. This was a gift from Stantin when he left the world of "The Exorcist," because he believed that magic power has its limits, and sometimes the power of technology can also be used to exorcise demons effectively.

For example, this Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle.

Standin knew Li Xuan possessed a kind of personal storage device, so he brought several boxes of bullets with different uses, such as ordinary bullets, armor-piercing incendiary bullets, depleted uranium bullets, and sniper bullets, one box of each type. Although they were a bit expensive, the main purpose was to let Li Xuan have a good time...

Li Xuan had read the instruction manual; it wasn't difficult. Once he was familiar with the equipment, whether he could hit the target depended on the sniper's physical condition and prediction.

This type of gun usually needs to be mounted on a sturdy surface for sniping because of the significant recoil, and personal safety must be taken into account.

but……

Tamura glanced back, feeling a chill run down his spine, and blurted out a curse: "Baka yarou, are you kidding me!"

He saw... that young man in the tree, who had somehow pulled out a heavy sniper rifle and was carrying it on his shoulder. Regardless of how heavy it was, he should at least have found a place to set it up!

If you just hold it in your hand and aim, how can you shoot accurately?
The young man smiled, the scope gleaming coldly in the night, and pulled the trigger.

boom!
Flames shot out!

Tamura jumped to the side at the fastest speed he had ever used. While he was still in the air, his calf, which had just been pierced by an arrow, exploded without warning!
He collapsed to the ground, convulsing violently. The force was terrifying; not only his calves, but even his knees were left hanging limply.

Damn...

Damn...

Why would something like this happen?!

Before arriving in Gucheng, Mingming had already conducted a thorough investigation of the place. Apart from a neutral church and a forgotten mountain god, there was nothing that could threaten him!
The terrifying power of a sniper rifle—one more shot, and it's enough to blow someone's chest or head off...

Driven by the will to survive, he endured the pain and struggled to climb over a rock, hiding in a crater below, where he shakily pulled a cell phone from his pocket.

He dialed a number and said after the call connected, "Don't wait any longer, come to Gucheng immediately."

A man's voice came through the phone: "Perfect timing. An old woman asked me to exorcise a demon for her granddaughter. I can get there by dawn, no rush..."

Tamura said, "Use public opinion to drive that man out. He's Chinese... Even if he kills me, I still need this body. The matter isn't finished yet. I absolutely cannot expose myself to the public..."
