This Liao Zhai is not right

When Su Su arrived, at least 30 to 40 percent of the dozens of households in Guojia Village had been killed or injured.

"It's no exaggeration to say that Guojia Village is now a hell."

Since he had made up his mind to gain a foothold in Guojia Village, Su Su had to eliminate the three long worms that were forming a circle and ripped open a young man's stomach and drank his blood.

If you want to achieve the effect of killing with one blow, it is obviously unrealistic to infuse stones with exorcism power and use them to smash monsters like you do during the day.

Looking around, Su Su saw the spiked rake under the eaves next to the young man who had been gutted. Seeing the rake teeth that had been wiped clean and were sharp, he was quite interested.

The three long worms were curled up in a circle. As long as the angle was right, the dozen or so sharp teeth on the rake were enough to pierce them all.

Su Su pondered in his heart, sneaked forward underground, and quietly reached out to grasp the rake under the eaves.

The three long worms that fed on human blood in unequal portions responded, and the vigorous divine power in Su Su's heart poured out.

All the divine power that had just been obtained was added to the rake, making almost the entire rake flash with dazzling white light. The divine power to exorcise evil spirits surged and smashed down towards the three long worms that were gathered in a circle.

‘Poof! ’

The sharp rake teeth hit the long snake's body right in the middle. Su Fu heard a few popping sounds and felt his palms shaking violently. Thick black smoke overflowed from the long snake's body, constantly washing away the dazzling white light flashing on the spiked rake.

The three long worms pierced by the rake teeth were frantically swallowing their tongues, as if struggling to break free from the sharp rake teeth that pierced their bodies.

It's a pity that with the blessing of divine power, the tools used by farmers for farming also possessed great power. They killed people and dug out their hearts, and the evil power obtained by swallowing human energy and blood collapsed when faced with the rake that flashed dazzling white light.

Even if you try your best, you can't get rid of it at all.

He used his front limbs to push down and support the rake, nailing the three long worms into the ground. He arched his lower limbs and slowly stepped back.

As if sensing the danger for its life, the snake's tongue moved in and out more frequently, spewing out poisonous smoke, which was quickly dissipated by the dazzling white light of the rake.

Su Su was not afraid at all and dragged the rake back and pulled it hard.

'Shh!'

All that was heard was the long insect flapping its wings, and its coiled body had been torn into pieces by Su Su's rake.

After suffering such a severe blow, the three worms resisted even more fiercely, twisting their bodies and coiling upwards, trying to bypass the rake teeth that pinned them down, and climb over the handle towards Su Fu, thus strangling him to death on the spot.

Su Su was prepared for this. He shrank back to avoid the snake's body. Then, with the help of his divine power, his fluffy white forelimbs had the effect of exorcising evil spirits. He aimed a set of military boxing at the middle section of the snake's body that had dodged sideways.

"I hit the snake at its weakest point. Let's see whether you will die or not."

The punches hit the flesh hard, and the seemingly weak forelimbs were blessed with the power to exorcise evil spirits. Every punch could break the bones of the worm and snake.

It didn't take long before three long worms, each as thick as an adult's arm, were beaten by Su Su until their bones were shattered and their flesh turned into mud.

"Huh...is he dead?"

Exhaling a breath, Su Su stopped and looked at the snake in front of him that had half of its body torn apart by the sharp rake, and then the three long worms that were blown to pieces by his military boxing.

It did not move forward until the dazzling white light from the spiked rake penetrated into the bodies of the long snakes and the exorcist's power crushed them to dust, leaving only three rice-sized pills that were completely black and tinged with blood.

"The broken inner elixir three inches below my navel is as big as a goose egg, while the inner elixirs of these three snake demons are only as big as rice grains... But it is also true that if they have also cultivated to the level of transcending tribulation and transforming, how could they be easily wiped out by a spiked rake that does not have much power to exorcise evil spirits."

Picking up three inner pills the size of rice grains, Su Su sighed and glanced at the wandering ghosts who were trying to take advantage of the situation in Guojia Village and the ghosts in the ghost market on the west foot of the tomb mountain.

"I am the land god of Baishui Village. The previous land god, Guo Yanci, left his post without permission, which led to the evil spirits causing trouble in the area. His crime is unforgivable. Now I am concurrently serving as the land god of Guojia Village."

"So, you evil creatures who are causing trouble for others, do you want to die? Or do you want to die?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the wandering ghosts who had been trying to take advantage of the situation in Guojia Village and the ghosts from the Ghost Market on the west foot of the Grave Mountain were so frightened that they wanted to escape from Guojia Village immediately.

However, at this moment, in the eyes of the remaining five or six villagers in Guojia Village, the identity of Su Su, who appeared to eliminate the demon, was made public.

A warm and moist current, even greater than before, surged into the body and sank into the heart.

The gods return!

On Su Su's first day as the land god of Baishui Village, he was not able to receive incense and worship at the village's land temple, but instead successfully returned to his position in the neighboring village.

It feels like being in Huangmao's world.

Looking at the scattered ghosts, Su Fu snorted, "Humph, you want to escape?"

Chapter 10: Divine power is like water in a sponge. If you squeeze it, there is always some.

By the time Su Su had cleared out all the ghosts and spirits in Guojia Village, it was already late at night at 1 a.m. He then slipped underground without stopping and reappeared on the western foot of the grave mountain.

Unexpectedly, the ghost market, which was like hell on earth and was previously full of people slaughtering human flesh, dismembering corpses and draining blood, was now just a mess.

The graves were turned inside out, with dead bones scattered all over the ground. Apart from the pungent smell of blood, there was not a single ghost to be seen.

"Sure enough, the news leaked out from Guojia Village, allowing this group of evil spirits to escape." Su Su sighed lightly.

There were numerous ghosts and spirits who broke into Guojia Village to fish in troubled waters. Even though Su Su's spirit returned to its place after he revealed his identity in Guojia Village, and the remaining five's divine power almost soared tenfold, it inevitably wasted a lot of time, causing it to come up empty-handed at the western foot of the tomb mountain.

However, considering the impact caused by Su Su's slaying of demons and ghosts tonight, this ghost market will probably never be opened on the western foot of the grave mountain again.

"Logically speaking, these evil ghosts shouldn't be able to get far. Sooner or later, we'll catch them and kill them all."

The bloody scenes like hell on earth in the ghost market and Guojia Village had a great impact on Su Su's psychology. It seemed that as long as he closed his eyes, the bloody picture would emerge from the depths of his mind again, making him instinctively feel nauseous.

Instead of returning to Guojia Village from the western foot of Fen Mountain, Su Su walked along the winding mountain road back to Baishui Village, intending to forget the bloody scene in his mind as soon as possible.

Silent all night.

As the morning smoke rose, the farmers of Baishui Village went to work in the fields in groups of two or three, and the sound of banging came from the land temple where the foundation had just been dug.

Last night, a family member was killed by a snake demon. Villagers from Guojia Village, who were related to Baishui Village, came to seek refuge with sad looks on their faces. They brought the news that Guojia Village was brutally massacred by demons and monsters last night, and more than half of the villagers were killed or injured.

Some time ago, someone from Guojia Village went into the mountains to collect herbs and was killed by a monster. Now the monster has broken into the village and started killing people. Such a tragic scene is really chilling.

Guojia Village and Baishui Village are only a few miles apart. If the monster can break into Guojia Village and kill people today, it can run to Baishui Village and harm people tomorrow.

The simple truth that the lips and teeth are interdependent is quite easy to understand.

Later I heard that fortunately the land god of Baishui Village arrived in time, who was also the land god of Guojia Village. He not only killed the three snake monsters on the spot, but also scared away the wandering ghosts that had sneaked into the village.

This made the villagers, who were worried that the snake demon would come to Baishui Village to harm people after it had wreaked havoc in Guojia Village, feel relieved.

"May the God of Land bless you. It's really the God of Land who bless you."

"Who said it wasn't true? These years I was wondering why the village land god was not effective, and fewer and fewer people were willing to burn incense and offer sacrifices. It turned out that the original land of our village belonged to Guo Yanci, who was killed by bandits a few years ago."

"I don't know what he did in the underworld to become the local god of our village. Brother Wang, you said that Guo Yanci was killed by bandits when he was still alive. How could he be a match for the monsters in the underworld after his death?"

"Ahem... Don't say this outside. Mr. Yanci did a lot of good things when he was alive, building bridges and paving roads. We can't speak against our conscience."

"Hey, Brother Wang, you are from another village, but you don't know that the old man Guo Yanci lends money in our village at an interest rate of 30% per year. When he borrows money and pays grain, he uses a small bucket, and when he pays back the money and pays back the grain, he uses a big bucket. How many families have been ruined by him?"

"This time it's finally the turn of Guo Yanci, the wicked old man with pus flowing from his feet and sores on his back, to be finished. The God of Land said that he was absent from his post and his crime is unforgivable. He will definitely be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell and will never be able to turn over."

Listening to the whispers in Baishui Village, Su Su was overjoyed.

Ever since the people who came to seek refuge in Guojia Village entered the village, similar rumors have been quietly spread in the dark. Although the land temple in Baishui Village has not yet been built, these rumors have attracted a lot of incense and blessings for Su Su, allowing the divine power it has accumulated to break through the integer mark of fifty in one fell swoop.

【Name: Su Su】

[Superior power: fifty-six]

[Status: Severely injured (Inner elixir shattered, the statue is not formed, both body and soul are injured)]

[Clergy: Temporarily taking over the land of Baishui and Guojia villages under the jurisdiction of Guobei County, Jichuan Prefecture]

[Lifespan: Three years and eight days]

"Divine power is like water in a sponge. If you squeeze it, more will come out. Do you want to try to follow what is written on this piece of cloth and use the divine power to condense the divine body to feed back to yourself and repair the inner elixir?"

The point of refining the divine body is easy to understand.

After seeing the reactions of Mr. Zhao, the old man in the straw raincoat and the villagers of Guojia Village last night, Su Su knew very well that in their eyes he was just a ball of white light wearing the same crimson robe as the fox's body.

The so-called condensed divine body is to constantly use divine power to bless this ball of white light wearing the same crimson robe as the fox body.

If other gods who had become gods from the underworld could condense their divine bodies and reach the level of appearing in broad daylight and showing their divinity in front of people, it would be extremely difficult. But for Su Su, who had the body of a fox, it was as easy as eating and drinking.

Moreover, Su Su noticed that although the handwriting on the cloth said that the former land god of Guojia Village, Guo Yanci, had deserted his post, it gave it the opportunity to replace the land god of Guojia Village.

But judging from the comments of the villagers who fled to Guojia Village, and the fact that the Guojia Village Land Temple was in ruins last night and there was no trace of divine power left.

The former land god of Guojia Village, named Guo Yanci, probably did not abandon his post without permission, but died completely like the former land god of Baishui Village, Guo Zhongdao.

This made Su Su's thoughts run wild. "Normally speaking, the incense and prayers provided by dozens of villagers in Guojia Village would be enough for me to kill the three snake monsters with a sneak attack, and then sweep away the lonely ghosts and evil spirits that were trying to fish in troubled waters in Guojia Village. So how could this land god named Guo Yanci disappear without any reason, leaving no trace of his existence?"

When you look into it more deeply, it's really terrifying.

Despite this, the divine body still needs to be condensed.

The divine power marked on the cloth quietly dropped to thirty. A huge and majestic heat current flowed out from Su Su's heart, then spread to the surrounding area of the fox, triggering bursts of white light.

But soon, the white light dissipated.

Squinting his eyes, Su Su seemed to see an extremely vague human figure looming beside him. The outline of this figure was roughly similar to the image of the land god holding a fox in the land temple under construction.

Su Su could clearly feel that he had an ambiguous connection with this extremely blurry figure. The divine power in his heart was surging, maintaining the existence of the blurry figure, and the blurry figure aroused some warmth, sinking three inches below Su Su's navel, slowly and continuously piecing together and repairing the broken pieces of inner elixir.

The whole morning passed in the blink of an eye, until Su Fu noticed Zhao Xiucai's figure appearing in Baishui Village. He suddenly came to his senses, "Hey, Zhao Xiucai has returned to the village, but where is the Taoist priest he invited to exorcise evil spirits?"

Only Zhao Xiucai and two or three of his followers returned to Baishui Village, and most of them looked exhausted and embarrassed. No one knew what had happened to them that caused them to return empty-handed from Guobei County.

He moved quickly and followed behind them.

Zhao Xiucai went straight to the land temple under construction, then avoided the young men who were working on the temple construction, hid in a secluded place and shouted in a low voice: "Land God! Land God!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Su's figure, with a faint outline, appeared in Zhao Xiucai's sight.

Chapter 11 Lanruo Temple outside Guobei City

Without waiting for Su Su to ask, Mr. Zhao told him what had happened: "Yesterday, we left the village and headed straight for the county town. On the way, we ran into Mr. Tan from the county school. He thought he had mastered Qigong and planned to come here alone to exorcise ghosts. I tried hard to persuade him, but failed to stop him."

"Then we went into the city. We heard that there was a master at Miaolin Temple in Guobei County who was good at exorcising evil spirits. But halfway through, we met someone outside the city who reported that a hermitage fifteen miles east of Guobei County had been robbed by mountain bandits, and eighteen monks who were staying there had died. All the famous masters and witches in the county had been called away to organize funerals and save the souls of the dead. They had no time to care about our remote village."

"I have wasted a long time. It is getting dark and I am afraid of getting into trouble on the road at night, so I have to stay in the county town. As soon as the sun rises, I pack my bags and rush back to the village. I feel ashamed for failing to live up to the trust of the land."

Lanruo, fifteen miles east of Guobei County?

The word "Lanruo" generally refers to a Buddhist temple located in a quiet place, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

But in Guobei County, it has only one meaning, that is, the Lanruo Temple where Nie Xiaoqian is.

Especially when Mr. Zhao said that eighteen wandering monks had died suddenly, it further confirmed that the Lanruo he mentioned was the Lanruo Temple.

"How did those eighteen monks die suddenly?" Su Su asked.

Zhao Xiucai recalled briefly and said in a horrified tone, "The messenger said that some were pierced through the soles of their feet and bled to death, and some had their chests and abdomens cut open, with their hearts and livers broken. This group of bandits is so cruel, they are no less cruel than the demons."

nonsense.

How bored must the bandit be to stab a robbed fat sheep in the soles of his feet and watch him bleed to death...not to mention cutting open his chest and abdomen and crushing his heart and liver. If he had the time, wouldn't it be better to do a few more big scams?

Only monsters need the essence and blood of living people, devouring their hearts and livers to steal their popularity.

Before one problem is solved, another one arises. When Su Su learned that his Baishui Village was located in Guobei County, he began to think about the issue of Lanruo Temple.

I just didn't expect this problem to come so quickly.

In its impression, the tree demon who occupied Lanruo Temple and controlled many ghosts to lure passers-by into the temple to suck their essence and blood and dig out people's hearts and livers has transformed into a monster in human form. It is unknown how much stronger it is than itself, a fox with a broken inner elixir.

If we go forward rashly, there is no chance of success.

Thinking hard, recalling the chapter about Nie Xiaoqian in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, Su Su suddenly had an idea, "Oh, right, Yan Chixia in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio is much more fierce than the one in the movie. He didn't even make a move, but only left a sword bag to kill the tree demon grandma!"

In this way, as long as they can hold on to Yan Chixia's thigh, the so-called tree demon who has transformed into a human form will not be a problem to fear. As long as they don't go to the east of Guobei County, they can just wait for this evil tree demon to seek her own death.

When I lay down and thought about it, I suddenly felt that the world was vast.

I, Su, can’t defeat you, a tree demon, but I can’t escape from you?

His mind relaxed and his mood became more relaxed. Su Su said seriously, "The evil spirit that haunted the graveyard west of Baishui Village was struck by lightning yesterday and is dead. You don't need to worry about finding a Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirits."

"Thunder strikes the top of the head..."

When Su Su said this, Zhao Xiucai subconsciously thought of the rumbling thunder that resounded throughout the night of Jingzhe. He didn't know what he imagined, but another ball of white light the size of a palm floated over, accompanied by a warm current, and sank into Su Su's heart.

"With the divine power of the God of Land, it is no problem for him to subdue even a mere evil spirit." Mr. Zhao bowed solemnly.

When he looked up again, Su Fu's white light had faded, and his silhouette had disappeared without a trace.

Mr. Zhao sighed deeply, his expression dazed: "Alas... the years are becoming more and more uneasy. Even if the Baishui Village land god is still alive, I don't know how long these days will last."

Now over fifty years old, he witnessed with his own eyes how the world had changed from a place where people could still get by to a place where taxes were increasing day by day, refugees gathered in the mountains and forests, some were bandits, some were thieves, and they would kill and rob people at will, regardless of whether the people they killed were good people or not.

Anyway, it’s better to live a miserable life than to die. No matter who you are, I’ll just rob you.
