Chapter 176 Cultivation in the mortal world
After sending seven or eight messages in succession, Shi Huai'an clasped his fists and hurriedly flew west, taking away the biggest harvest of the trip, the two extracted second-level witch cultivator living souls, and two important witch weapons.

At this time, the surviving Xiangqi, Lizheng and others in the town, together with several people from the Daolu branch, organized the young and strong to resettle the homeless people, treat the wounded in a unified way, collect the dead in a centralized manner, and arrange warm clothes and food. Degree and other things.

The town has suffered a catastrophe, so it is important to take care of the living first, and it doesn't matter if the dead stay there for a few more days.

The weather was bad, and it took a lot of time for You Xi and others from the nearby town and the county government officials to come quickly.

Fu Gujing put down her hands clasped in fists to salute, and now she had time to care about the pale junior sister who wiped off the blood on her face, and asked, "How is your injury? Don't hold on, why don't you go back to the mountain gate to recuperate for a while? Don't hurt me." foundation."

Yun Qiuhe rolled his eyes, and said: "Don't send a message to my master, and make her old man worry, I used the elixir, and the breathing will be fine for two days, a little injury, there is no need to make a fuss, I am not like that Delicate."

She was wrapped with an old cloak given to her by someone, covering the bloody wound on her back.

Fu Gujing had nothing to do with her, thinking about it for the past two days, and invited a doctor and monk who was good at healing from the county seat to take a look, rest assured, glanced at the direction of Xiheshan in the snowstorm, and asked: "You left the town earlier, Have you paid attention to the situation on the mountain over there?"

Yun Qiuhe snorted with his nose, "Don't worry, senior brother, those two people are doing well and have not been harmed. There was a mist rising from the mountain, maybe they were so focused on their cultivation that they didn't hear anything from us."

"Being in the secular world and ignoring the world's affairs, not wiping the dust, sharpening the state of mind, no matter how hard it is, it will be in vain."

Fu Gujing shook his head.

The distance is not far, how can you not hear the sound of the two fireworks in the town?
He was very disappointed with those two people, one of them was Xuanyun Guan's fellow sect, who had been stuck in the energy transformation state for many years, unable to break through the state for a long time, and was sent by the sect to Xiheshan to guard the enchanting flower slope.

He didn't want to mention the two of them again, seeing Guanzhu Zhang bending over to pick up things in the snow from time to time, he joked: "Brother Zhang, what treasure are you picking up? Remember the rules of the world, whoever sees it has a share."

Zhang Wenfeng tossed the thorn-hook wire vine seeds in the palm of his hand: "The spell-casting method I arranged earlier must be taken back. If you use one of these seeds and one is missing, Brother Fu will not have your share."

Fu Gujing remembered all the details of Brother Zhang's previous provocation of the second-rank Wuxiu. At that time, the situation was urgent. He didn't think carefully, and said angrily: "I was reckless. I only wanted to lure the Wuxiu thief here. It was a waste of time." You make arrangements."

"Brother Fu is also thinking of me, and I am grateful for the kindness. Besides, the result is the same, but it took a lot of trouble. Brother Fu doesn't have to be like this."

Zhang Wenfeng smiled and said polite words.

Chen Qingqiao and Zhu He came back from work, and were digging hard on the icy ground where the witch beast had penetrated with tools.

Daoist Shi said before leaving that the frozen black water was some kind of sinister water witchcraft prepared in advance, mixed with the use of quicksand witchcraft. As the witchcraft failed, the swallowed witchcraft The corpse of the beast still exists underground.

Chen Qingqiao's head no longer hurts, and he is full of energy. If he wants to dig out the corpse of the witch beast, he can exchange for a lot of rewards.

Yun Qiuhe suddenly asked: "Brother, this time the harvest is not small, right?"

She made a pun, asking about the gains from the interrogation of living souls, and asking about the booty from those Wu Xius. She didn't care too much, she was asking for some compensation for Chen Qingqiao and the others.

Look at Chen Guanzhu's unlucky situation, and also lost a magic artifact, how can he bear it?

Fu Gujing smiled and said: "It's okay, the brothers have put in a lot of effort. When I go back, I will ask the master for instructions. The spoils of war should be converted into spirit stones and distributed as much as possible to make up for the loss. The rest of the rewards will wait for the county to accept it. It will take some time to receive it."

He didn't say a word about the interrogation of the living soul, and the sudden accident before.

The living soul imprisoned in the magic weapon can't even commit suicide. With some insidious means, it can easily torture the living soul to the point that life is worse than death.

The results of the interrogation were beyond imagination, and finally figured out that Wuxiu's thieves were trying to expose, even at the expense of their lives, in order to seize the official treasure and Kanyu map, and said that they could open a hidden ruins by gathering three official treasures.

The purpose of ambushing and attacking them was to collect the blood and soul of the monks, use the corpses to sneak into Xiling County, avoid the detection and suppression of the formation, attack and kill them in one fell swoop, and then seize the official treasure that they are determined to win.

The two people who attacked Qingshui Temple and Chen Qingqiao were secretly dispatched by Xie Zhiquan, but they were captured by Wu Xiu on the way, controlled by witchcraft, and did that evil thing in order to lure them out of the city. People and boatmen have long been destroyed.

No matter how much background Xie Zhiquan has in Nine Crane Palace, its ending has already been decided, and there is no escape from the word "death". , and an explanation must be given to the Zhoucheng Daolu Branch.

Fortunately, the junior sister was able to withstand the ambush attack of two second-level witch cultivators and bought time for them.

Fortunately, Brother Zhang was able to deal with the witch beast with one move and won the initiative.

The biggest achievement is that by interrogating the living souls of two second-tier witch cultivators, they dug up two hidden lairs of witch cultivators in the remote forest in Da'an. Great gain.

It's a pity that while inspecting a blood-colored jade carving witchcraft, I accidentally triggered a trace of a deeply hidden mark inside it, destroying the evil weapon that collected the monk's soul and blood essence, and almost let the soul witch guarding it escape.

It is very possible that the witch repair master who has alarmed one of the lairs?

The junior sister is careless and doesn't know the seriousness, but Fu Gujing will not reveal a word, it has nothing to do with trust or not, it is the rule.

Yun Qiuhe heard what her senior brother said, so she didn't inquire. She flew into the air and inspected the town.

Zhang Wenfeng collected all the thorny barbed wire vine seeds scattered in the snow, found a shovel, and dug together with Chen Qingqiao and the others. The earth witch dug it out, and took out the two corpses below.

At noon, the Taoist priests from the nearby Taoist temple, Youxi and Xiangyong from the two nearby towns, and the county lieutenant from the county seat rushed over with a large number of people in the snow to take over the follow-up matters in the town.

Fu Gujing, Yun Qiuhe led a few people to drive Wu Xiu's body, spoils of war, and the remains of his martyred brothers back to the county in a carriage.

Zhang Wenfeng followed Chen Qingqiao to Qingshui Temple to rest, leaving three Taoist soldiers to assist in the town.

The two were in front, and the donkey was behind, walking on the way up the mountain.

"Guanzhu Zhang, if you are free, can you help me see the topography of Qingshuiguan, and give me some suggestions for formation?"

"...To tell you the truth, I was able to set up the big formation at the Mountain Gate of the Immortal Temple, thanks to the ready-made layout plan. If you don't mind, I can help you set up a few separate small formations on the top of the mountain. If there are thieves who dare to attack, they can use formations to fight back, or temporarily evade for a while, and then you can arrange a large formation by yourself in the future."

"Zhang Guanzhu's high righteousness, Qingqiao's inscription is five, and no one dares to forget it. Daozu is merciful!"

"Blessed Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate!"

"..."

In the evening, after evening class in Qingshui Temple, Zhang Wenfeng and Chen Qingqiao, who insisted on going to contribute, braved the snow and came to Xihezhou Town, which had regained its calm.

On the open space in the ruins of the Red Yard, the county captain had already arranged to build a shed that could cover the snow but not the wind as required.

The two Taoist priests burned incense and chanted scriptures solemnly, and burned paper to perform rituals for the souls of the dead.

Outside the shed, in the snow, there are boys and girls kneeling in mourning, one batch at a time, and each batch is only allowed to worship for one stick of incense. The most tragic song of life and death in the world.

The cold wind rolled up the fragrant mist, and it disappeared without a trace.

When the clapper sounded, Zhang Wenfeng got up and went for a walk in the snow, holding the incense alone and reciting scriptures in a mixed tone, watching the remaining souls who were washed away from their grievances, followed by the spirit incense into the realm of the underworld, and then stood up and fell to their knees Thanksgiving people in the snow.

After the ceremony was completed, he and Chen Qingqiao flew back.

Being in the mortal world, what one cultivates is to have a clean state of mind.
