Chapter 17 The Village That Does Not Exist
The middle-aged man had a very respectful demeanor, and after saluting several people respectively, he said, "Daoist Master Withered Wood, Taoist Master Yuanmu, Young Master Xu, and this Taoist priest from the ancient city of Taichu. Completely resolve the matter of the Thatched Village, otherwise the villagers of the Weed Grass Village will have trouble sleeping and eating.”
The Taoist Yuanmu, who was in the first realm of the Nascent Profound Realm, waved his hand and said impatiently: "Village Chief, you can rest assured. According to my opinion, this matter is at most a ghost in the upper realm of the Nascent Profound Realm. The two of them made a shot, but they were caught."
Ji Yuenian's eyes moved slightly, as if he suddenly thought of something, but he never said a word, but stepped out of the house and stared at this peaceful and peaceful grass village.
Cooking smoke curls, autumn water people.
"Little Daoist," a sweet voice came to my ears, the girl with braided braids stood a few meters in front of her, looking at Ji Yuenian anxiously, "Leave quickly, we have a matter of thatched village. You can't mix it up."
Ji Yuenian frowned slightly, quietly looking at the girl with braided braids, and there was a sense of omission in her heart.
What's wrong?
Suddenly, a shocking thunder flashed through my mind!
She said "our thatched village"!
This is not a barren grass village at all, but a thatched grass village where hundreds of people in the village have died!
In other words, there is no grass village from beginning to end!
"Why is the Taoist chief standing here? Hurry up and rest in the house." The village chief's voice sounded in his ears.
Ji Yuenian turned his head and saw the village chief walking out of the main room and walking towards him.
"Why don't you go quickly!? As long as you leave the thatched village, you can get rid of this terrible curse!" The girl with braided braids said more anxiously.
Strangely, the village chief did not seem to notice the existence of the braided girl at all, and turned a blind eye to her.
Ji Yuenian thought for a moment, and without saying a word, turned around and walked towards the outsider of the village.
The braided girl accompanied him with a worried look on her face.
"Master! Master, please stay! Stay!"
The village chief's voice gradually distorted in his ears, getting smaller and smaller.
"Come on!" The braided girl stretched out her slender jade hand, grabbed Ji Yuenian's wrist, and pulled him towards the outside of the village.
Ji Yuenian remained silent, letting the girl lead her to run faster and faster.
Finally reached the entrance of the village.
The braided girl let go and said anxiously, "Little Daoist, go out quickly, it will be too late!"
Ji Yuenian turned around, looked at the deserted grass village that had become dead silent at some point behind him, nodded and said, "Okay."
But there was no movement in his footsteps.
"Little Daoist, let's go! Let's go!"
The braided girl seemed to be very anxious, urging Ji Yuenian from time to time.
"Go? Where are you going?" Ji Yuenian looked at the young girl's beautiful face, and said with a light smile, "Forgive me, the girl's disguise is extremely clumsy."
The girl was stunned for a while, and asked in doubt, "What is the little Daoist saying?"
Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly, flicked his sleeve robe, and a stream of golden profound energy flowed out, breaking all the obstacles in front of him.
The barren grass village behind him has regained its faint popularity and noise, and just one step in front of him is the truly dead thatched village!
This is the road on the west side of the grass village. After the accident in the grass village, no one dared to come here again. As long as Ji Yuenian took one more step, he would step into this strange grass village!
"How can you see through?" The girl's face gradually calmed down.
"It's very simple, although I didn't see through the blinds directly, but your flaws are too obvious," Ji Yuenian pointed to the thin coarse clothes on the girl with braids, "The wind and torrential rain just passed two days ago, and the weather It is extremely cold, and your cloth alone cannot keep out the cold, but your hands are extremely warm."
The girl looked at Ji Yuenian quietly, without saying a word.
"Also," Ji Yuenian looked at the Thatch Village, which was completely filled with strange aura, "I am 80% sure at this time that the matter of the Thatch Village should be related to the ghosts in the two days of heavy rain. The shape is very special, but it has something that other ghosts can't match."
"Let's hear it." The girl with braided hair was expressionless.
Ji Yuenian nodded and said, "I just saw a wooden statue of a mountain god at the village chief's house. Along the way, I have also seen the same mountain god vaguely through the doors of other people's houses that are occasionally opened. Statues, this is the key to reincarnating ghosts."
The girl whispered: "Every mountain god is a god of heaven and earth who protects one side. What does it have to do with ghosts?"
"Although this is a good statement," Ji Yuenian put on the sleeves of the Zhanqing Taoist robe, "but the mountain gods worshiped by these two villages for generations do not exist at all!"
"Even the righteous god of heaven and earth with the lowest rank is an imperial god who protects the territory of thousands of miles, just like the god of the land of Taichu enshrined in the ancient city of Taichu."
"This mountain is only one of the outermost mountains of the Qingluan Mountains. It is extremely small. How could there be a mountain god enshrined here? If it is really protected by the mountain god, it is impossible for this place to be so desolate and uninhabited. There are only two It's a small village that seems to be isolated from the world."
"Their so-called mountain gods are just imaginary."
The girl looked at Ji Yuenian strangely and said, "The little Daoist is really smart, but even if the mountain god does not exist, what does this have to do with the ghost?"
Ji Yuenian stepped out, only one foot away from the girl, looked down at her and said, "Although the mountain god does not exist, the statue of the mountain god has absorbed the will of the villagers for an unknown number of years, but it starts from the beginning. In the end, no intellect was born."
"There were many ghosts in the pouring rain in the past two days. It should be that a ghost came to the thatched village and noticed the abnormality of the mountain god statue, so it was divided into hundreds of mountain god statues in the village. The willpower accumulated in the body will be transformed into birth, and will no longer be trapped by the sky, completely free from the body of ghosts, and become a ghost that can truly practice."
"Girl, am I right?"
The girl didn't say a word, just looked at Ji Yuenian and fell silent.
Ji Yuenian smiled and continued: "Unfortunately, after you were born, although you lost the body of a ghost, you also lost all kinds of strange abilities as a ghost, and became a pitiful person who disappeared. Ghosts, they can only lead me to this place by being obstructed."
"Even if you guessed it, so what?" The braided girl was filled with a strong ferocious ghost, and condensed the figure of a woman in the void, "It's a pity that you didn't guess my cultivation level, it's going to die. !"
The violent ghost power swept out, and this ghost was actually a terrifying cultivation realm of the upper realm!
At the same time, after the girl with the braided braid lost her body, her eyes became dull, and gradually turned into a pile of scattered bones under the pervading ghost energy.
