Xianlu

Chapter 236
Entering the house, the Ratman worshiped the gods.

Xu Dao watched coldly, taking all the weird and gloomy scenes in the main room into his eyes and thinking carefully.

During the process, although he didn't say a word to the swordsman and seemed to disappear, the thoughts in his mind were spinning crazily.

Glancing at the strange runes on the surrounding beams, pillars and walls, Xu Dao understood in his heart:
"It's no wonder these Taoist priests of Shezhao have to stay here and pretend to be gods without going out. The real key to fooling the rat people is to use formations to help them refine their energy, increase their cultivation, and even condense evil spirits." Refining Gang."

Although there are 36 copper stoves in the backyard of Wutong Temple, each of which can cook flesh and blood, but most of the rat people are mortals after all, and there are even few cooks, let alone refining medicine for cultivating Taoism.

They can barely help the Taoist priests feed humans and animals, and carry out preliminary processing of "medicinal materials". It still depends on the Taoist priests' own efforts to extract the essence of the mirage from the mortal body.

And the five Shezhao Taoist priests are indeed Taoists with heels. The formations they arranged in the main room can turn the "people's fat and people's ointment" prepared by the Ratmen into pure essence and disperse in the hall for them to gulp. devoured.

Although this method is relatively slow, it is superior in that it is squeezed cleanly, and it does not require Taoist priests to do it themselves, which can be regarded as superb.

Suck, suck!

The strange breathing sound continued to ring in the main room, and the black shadows of the three statues expanded and shrank with the sound of breathing, giving people a feeling of trembling.

After arranging the offerings and getting some benefits, the Ratmen kowtowed a few times, and then lined up, walking towards the outside of the hall with surprised and excited expressions.

After leaving the main room, the swordsman who acted as Xu Dao's puppet said hello to the other ratmen, then slipped to a corner and called out, probably Xu Dao.

Xu Dao was still thinking about the three Taoist priests in the main room, and when he heard the swordsman's call, he sighed slightly in his heart and replied, "I'm still here."

Receiving Xu Dao's response, the Swordsman breathed out lightly. It had seen Xu Dao's silence just now, and thought that Xu Dao had seen something wrong and had already left here.

There was no one around for the time being. After making a few gestures, the swordsman squatted on the ground, drew the ground with his hands, and prepared to communicate with Xu Dao in words.

And the three Taoist priests in that temple had little scruples about going to the backyard, and there was no spiritual monitoring around them, so Xu Dao didn't stop it.

Written in a few simple words, the swordsman is asking Xu Daoke if there is still something to tell him to do.

After Xu Dao paused, he replied: "It's been hard work for Lao Sha, so there's nothing for now."

Immediately afterwards, Swordsman wrote a few words to say hello to Xu Dao, exchanged pleasantries, and briefly introduced the situation after it and Xu Dao separated in Sheshan.

As reflected in the scene in the backyard, the remaining 10,000+ people in Shezhao Mountain City were all coaxed and taken away by the Taoist priests of Shezhao.

Naturally, some of them sensed something was wrong and wanted to escape, but the Taoist priests naturally sealed off the city to avoid leaking the news, and it was impossible to let these people leave.

Thanks to the swordsman's vigilance, he didn't resist much, but mixed among the 10,000+ people, allowing himself to be banned and captured by the Taoist priests.

As for what happened after being imprisoned, the swordsman doesn't remember much. He only knows that in the dark, after he was released, he was already in the Wutong Temple, and the Taoist priest used magic to change the appearance of the mouse on the spot. Supervise a group of handymen who were also transformed into mice.

The Taoist priests also promised that those who had been transformed into rats would be transformed back into human form after three years of slavery, and they might even be brought into the family to teach them how to cultivate Taoism.

Xu Dao questioned the swordsman again carefully, and found that he didn't know the real identity of the livestock in the backyard.

And according to the swordsman, when he communicated with other ratmen in private, he found that most of the ratmen in the courtyard were outsiders in the mountain city, and none of them were from Shezhao.

For this, Xu Dao already knew the reason.

This is because only the Shezhao people have the thin dragon's blood in their bodies, and it must have come from the ancestors.

After the Dragon Palace's formation self-destructs, only living people with Shezhao's blood can get the greatest benefits. As for other outsiders, even if they are in the Sheshan area, they still won't get much benefit.

And in this way, because the swordsmen and the foreigners were not "useful", and the Taoists were also short of servants, they escaped and did not become animals waiting to be slaughtered.

Xu Dao didn't tell the swordsman immediately for this reason, lest the other party couldn't accept the truth about the livestock for a while and missed the matter.

After some exchange, Xu Dao asked again: "How is the layout in the mountain, do you have a way out?"

Hearing this question, Swordsman's expression immediately became agitated. It squeaked several times before remembering to write and communicate on the ground.

Because of his excitement, his handwriting was scribbled, and Xu Daolian understood the meaning of the other party only after guessing, and he didn't let the swordsman repeat it.

Although there are formations inside and outside the Wutong Temple, and the miasma is thick on the mountain, which is quite weird, but except for the main room where a few Taoist priests stay, there is no forbidden area around. access.

If a swordsman wants to get out of the Wutong Temple, or even go down the mountain, it is easy.

This is because the rat people need to burn fire to make flesh and blood, but the amount of firewood is small and not resistant to burning. They have to go to the mountainside to cut wood from time to time. Sometimes the rat people are short of food, so they have to disguise themselves and go to the nearby Villages and towns buy food.

To put it simply, the Taoist priests have a free-ranging attitude towards the Ratmen, and the entire Wutong Mountain is strict and wide.

The real limiting factor for the rat people to escape is the rat skin on their bodies. Once they leave the Sheshan boundary, unless they enter the mountains to join the snakes and insects and become savages, they will be beaten to death by mortals as monsters.

Even if there are ratmen who want to escape into the forest, with their abilities, they often can't run very far, and they will be caught by the overseers or Taoist priests with magic.

Coupled with other methods of Taoist Shezhao, such as small favors and benefits, etc., the rat people have already accepted their fate, but they are just looking forward to the three-year period, so that Taoist Shezhao can transform them back into human forms.

Seeing this sentence, Xu Dao couldn't help sneering in his heart, and said, "Three years? I'm afraid there will be none left in less than three years."

The swordsman nodded when he heard it, agreeing with what Xu Dao said.

In its narration, there were thousands of people who turned into rats at the beginning, but in just one year, [-] to [-]% of the rats died of exhaustion.

What scares them even more is that as the number of livestock in the courtyard decreases, the Taoist priests' attitude towards them becomes more and more indifferent. At first they were only used as slaves, but now they are also gnawing on them, causing people to panic of.

That's why the swordsman was so excited when he heard Xu Dao ask how it went down the mountain.

Although it is cautious and possesses mana, in the eyes of Taoist priests, it still has the same status as a chicken or dog, and it can be killed at will.

Startled, the swordsman moved his fingers and drew a few large characters on the ground: "When, go?"

Seeing the expectant yet frightened look of the other party, Xu Dao laughed and said via voice transmission: "It's not too late, let's go now."

Plop!When the swordsman heard it, he fell to his knees and kowtowed.

It was Xu Dao who told it to restrain itself so as not to attract the attention of others, so it quickly got up from the ground again.

After a few squeaks, Xu Dao told him to quickly find a way to go down the mountain, so as not to disturb too many people, just go down to the middle of the mountain and get out of the range covered by the miasma.

The swordsman nodded. After erasing the traces of scribbling and painting on the ground, he suppressed his excitement and walked out of the corner, and immediately hooked up with the other ratmen.

Finally, it secretly carried a few empty wine bags in its pocket, and walked down the mountain by itself.

The swordsman used the excuse of being addicted to alcohol and sneaking down the mountain to drink.This kind of behavior is not doing business properly, so naturally too many people can't know about it, and the other ratman supervisors have to cover it up for a while.

Even if it didn't come back later and was exposed, there was barely a reason to explain it. The rat people might think that it was beaten to death as a monster at the foot of the mountain.

This kind of thing is not without precedent. The Taoist priests didn't bother to take care of it after they found out. At most, they could use a spell and send a few ratmen out to inquire about it to see if they were really beaten to death.

Smoothly slipping out of the Wutong Temple, the swordsman went straight all the way, running wildly in the miasma, if Xu Dao hadn't reminded it not to use mana and alerted the Taoist, its movements would have been even faster.

Two or three quarters of an hour later, one person and one Yinshen completely left the area covered by the miasma formation and escaped.

Not only the swordsman breathed a sigh of relief, but Xu Dao also felt relieved for a while.

After all, it is risky for him to spy on Wutong Temple.

Especially after entering the shrine, seeing the appearance of the three Taoist priests "with his own eyes", and identifying each other's cultivation level, Xu Dao realized that the risk of this trip was greater than he expected.

Fortunately, there were no accidents during the process, and he also thoroughly ascertained the plots and plans of the five Shezhao Taoist priests.

The next thing is how to destroy the other party's plot and profit from it, or in other words, to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and save the remaining Shezhao mortals!
Thoughts rolled in his mind, Xu Dao quickly collected his thoughts and suppressed these thoughts first.

He emerged from the cuttlefish sword, bowed his hands towards the swordsman, and said in his mouth: "Old Sha, long time no see."

"Squeak!" The swordsman squealed, still unable to speak human words

Xu Dao smiled lightly, and replied: "Let's go back to the mansion with the poor Dao and talk about it."

As soon as he flicked his sleeve robe, the cuttlefish sword would vibrate, and the surrounding air would stir, making the sword cry.

Before the swordsman could get used to it, the sword energy enveloped its body and lifted its feet off the ground.

The cuttlefish sword did not rush straight into the sky, but swam swiftly and nimbly through the mountains and forests, rushing straight towards the direction of Jiangzhou City.

The flying sword is fast, and the land of a hundred miles passes by in a flash.

When Xu Dao approached Jiangzhou City with the swordsman, he used several concealing spells on the swordsman, and made him wear a black robe at the same time, so as not to be noticed by others.

After returning to the talisman store, nothing happened in the store, and Xu Dao's physical body was still peacefully staying in the quiet room.

He directly left the swordsman in the backyard, called out Su Jiu, and after explaining a few words to the two, he escaped into the quiet room by himself.

As for Su Jiu and the Swordsman meeting each other, they were surprised and reminiscing about the old days, so it's not his business for the time being.

The yin spirit returned, and Xu Dao's body in the quiet room opened his eyes violently, and the teeth and scale soldiers guarding all around violently flapped their wings, making a welcome gesture.

With a thought in his mind, he turned the teeth and scale soldiers into teeth and scales, and put them on his body.

After putting away the Yajianglinbing, Xu Dao did not immediately walk out of the quiet room, but sat cross-legged alone, silently sorting out what he had seen and heard in the Wutong Temple.

Recalling the aura displayed by the three statues of Taoist priests in the temple, Xu Dao secretly said in his heart: "Of the five Shezhao Taoist priests, there are two in the early stage of foundation establishment, two in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and one with majestic mana that is close to the foundation of the foundation. It's the late stage..."

In just one year, three of the Shezhao Taoist priests successfully condensed the evil spirit.

One of them is even on the verge of the realm of refining gang, perhaps already in the realm of refining gang.Even if not, according to the progress of a few Shezhao Taoist priests, it may not take several months to truly break through to the realm of refining Gang, and it will be enough within one month.

With such a speed, the Taoist priests of Shezhao really have accumulated a lot of knowledge and made great efforts!
Xu Dao sighed in his heart: "Obviously the Taoism of these five people was indistinguishable from each other before. They were all in the early stage of foundation establishment, but now the span is so large..."

He now had to admit that without his intervention, there might really be a Golden Core Realm among the Shezhao Taoist priests!

"No!" Xu Dao thought carefully: "We can't let this group of people continue to break through, maybe after they refine the whole family, they still have ways to continue to improve their cultivation."

It should be known that on Sheshan, apart from 10,000+ living people, there is also a spiritual vein that has lasted for thousands of years, and it has disappeared.

It's just that even if the cultivation base of the Shezhao Taoist priests does not continue to increase, according to the current cultivation base of the five Taoist priests, it is still not something he can deal with now.

Many plans flashed through Xu Dao's mind one by one.

Suddenly, he whispered three words:

"Yasha Gate."

The head of the three major powers in the southwest region, there are not only Taoist priests in the foundation realm, but also ghosts and gods who are extremely suspicious of the Jindan realm in the Yakshamen. It should be enough to deal with five Shezhao Taoist priests whose cultivation base has greatly increased.

"How can you allow other people to snore and sleep on the side of the couch? If you tell the Yachamen about the plan of the Taoist priests, even if the five Taoist priests keep a low profile, the Yashamen will not be able to sit still, let alone there are benefits."

Xu Dao's idea took shape: "It's better to invite the Taoist priests from the Yasha Gate, and also come to the Demon Hall to make a name..."

Although this move may be to lure wolves into the house and cause him to be ostracized as a demon swindler, but only if the situation is muddied can he have a chance to fish in troubled waters.

Xu Dao had a certain thought in his mind: "It's not impossible to give up the position of the demon swaying envoy."

Even if it really lures wolves into the house, the demon hall is not the house of someone like him, and if someone breaks it up casually, if he feels sorry for him, he will lose!
