Cultivation is too difficult, and people will die if they do the tasks.

Chapter 170: Get rid of the sneaky

70 years ago, when the world was first settled, there was still no peace, and horse thieves and bandits often invaded the place.

One day, bandits and horse bandits came to rob Tea Tree Town.

At that time, a military household and his family happened to pass through Chashu Town. The mayor led the entire town and knelt down to beg the military household to help resist until reinforcements came to rescue.

The situation was critical, so the military household agreed.It was not until the last person fought that reinforcements arrived, that the lives of the people in Tea Tree Town were saved.

However, the military family, including two husbands and wives, five sons, and eleven nephews, were all killed in the battle, leaving only an orphan girl.

The people in the town felt the great kindness of the military family, so they buried them generously and built temples and monuments on the cemetery.We promise that the incense will continue year after year and be worshiped from generation to generation.

"You gave them a grand burial, just to bury them in mass graves?" Bai Wan'er was furious.

"Of course not. It used to be a geomantic treasure land, with mountains on its back and rivers on its side. People in the town specially built a luxurious cemetery there and offered sacrifices every year. But who would have thought that there would be a flood in the fifth year and the river would overflow and wash away the temple? All that land was buried.”

"Didn't everyone repair it again?"

"Hey..." The old man shook his head.

"After the great disaster came the great epidemic. For three years, people in the town were walking around and dying. Who could care about the land? It would be good if they could survive."

"It has been only in the past 50 or [-] years that we have become peaceful and happy. Not many people know about this matter anymore, and even fewer people know about it now."

"Since the floods washed away the hills, and the rivers occasionally overflowed, that place became a mass grave. The people buried there were all poor people or homeless people. No one remembers this anymore."

"Where is the orphan girl?" Bai Wan'er asked.

The old man was stunned for a moment, with a look of sadness on his face.

"The mayor originally decided to take in the orphan girl and treat her as his daughter. Who knew that on the day of the burial, the orphan girl bumped into the coffin and went with her parents."

"Is the orphan girl called Mei Niang?"

The old man lowered his head and thought for a long time, then asked with a surprised look on his face: "How did the immortal know about it?"

Bai Wan'er glanced at Shopkeeper Li and asked, "Is the mayor at that time the elder of Shopkeeper Li?"

Shopkeeper Li nodded: "It's the old grandfather."

Bai Wan'er and Leng Zijiao looked at each other, and everything clicked.

After the matter was clarified, Bai Wan'er called shopkeeper Li aside and muttered for a long time.

Shopkeeper Li's expression changed drastically, and after a while he bowed his head and begged Bai Wan'er.

Bai Wan'er nodded and said a few more words.

Shopkeeper Li nodded repeatedly, turned around and left.

Bai Wan'er turned around and saw Leng Zijiao's eyes twinkling, half-smiling but not smiling, and asked, "What do you think, Fellow Daoist Leng?"

Leng Zijiao smiled and said, "I really admire you for your skill in talking. Now we have to see how your cultivation is."

Bai Wan'er looked up at the setting sun and sighed.

"Fellow Daoist Leng, please."

The two flew out of the town.

It was getting dark, so Bai Wan'er and Leng Zijiao sped up their movements.

Bai Wan'er flew into the air, muttering something in her mouth, waving her hands, and beams of golden light shot around the cemetery.

Not long after, a barrier was set up.

Leng Zijiao walked around the entrance of the cave and sprinkled a bag of powder around the cave.Then chant the incantation and draw a formation diagram on the ground.

Bai Wan'er put the soul-suppressing charms on more than a dozen tombstones near the cave.

When everything was ready, the two of them stood aside quietly, looking at the cemetery and waiting.

Bai Wan'er sighed: "This family is so miserable. Heroes really have to pay for their lives."

"Having said that, this family saved the lives of the entire town after all."

Bai Wan'er sneered: "So what, no one remembers them now, and they don't want to turn into ghosts to harm people. Therefore, both humans and ghosts value fame and wealth."

Leng Zijiao smiled and said: "Isn't fame and fortune what mortals pursue in this world?" "But we helped the people in the town drive away the ghosts of resentment and solve the problem. Who will give us any benefits? We have no fame or fortune." Bai Wan'er said Face depressed.

Leng Zijiao was startled: "Fellow Daoist Bai, how come we, outsiders, value fame and wealth so much?"

Bai Wan'er rolled her eyes at Leng Zijiao: "Why do fellow Taoists practice?"

"Improve your cultivation and become a god!"

"It is so difficult to attain enlightenment and become a god. Why do fellow Taoists still have to practice hard?"

Leng Zijiao's chest puffed up: "Of course, after he attains enlightenment and becomes a god, he will be respected by the world and admired by his peers."

"Isn't this just fame and fortune? Fellow Daoist Leng values ​​it equally!"

"you……"

Leng Zijiao was speechless for a moment and couldn't speak. He took a deep breath and said, "Why does Fellow Daoist Bai practice?"

"Wan'er..."

Before Bai Wan'er could finish her words, the tombstone affixed to the soul-calming talisman began to shake violently.

Bai Wan'er and Leng Zijiao flew to the edge of the cemetery, focusing on dealing with it.

The soil under the tombstone kept arching upwards, and something was about to break out of the ground.Unfortunately, the soul-suppressing charm on the tombstone is suppressing it, and I can't get out.

After a while, the tombstone stopped moving, and a shrill scream came from the entrance of the cave.

"The villain of Tea Tree Town, take your life! The villain of Tea Tree Town, take your life!"

The soil at the entrance of the cave broke open with a bang, and a huge column of black smoke came out.But thousands of golden threads appeared on the ground around the cave, forming a network that covered the entrance of the cave.

No matter how hard Hei Yan tried, he was firmly suppressed by the golden mesh and could not get out of the hole.

Bai Wan'er smiled and said, "The formation at the entrance of Fellow Daoist Leng's cave is so good that the evil spirits can't get out."

"Fellow Daoist Bai's soul-suppressing talisman has suppressed the other tombstones. I can use the formation under the bone-eroding powder to trap the evil spirits in the cave."

Bai Wan'er nodded.

Bone-eroding powder, just hearing the name, carries an evil aura, and it is worthy of being a product of demon cultivators.

Seeing that Hei Yan couldn't get out, he retreated into the hole.

Bai Wan'er and Leng Zijiao were standing by.

At this time, a dark cloud floated over, and gradually the dark clouds accumulated more and more, a flash of lightning flashed, and heavy rain poured down.

"No, the rain will wash away the bone-eroding powder, and the formation will be broken."

Leng Zijiao shouted and flew over.

Bai Wan'er wiped the rain off her face and cursed her in her heart.

I’ve heard that to get rid of demons, you need to look at the auspicious days of the zodiac, but I’ve never heard that you need to look at the weather forecast.

This rain came at a damn good time!

A stream of black smoke had already emerged from the cave over there. After it dispersed into the air, it turned into more than a dozen strands and attacked Bai Wan'er and Leng Zijiao respectively.

Bai Wan'er's Ruyi Locks transformed into more than a dozen strands, and they rushed forward against the black smoke, fighting each other.

On the other side, Leng Zijiao waved his hand and held a fan in his hand. He fanned it towards the black smoke and the black smoke dispersed.

When the black smoke saw that it was no match for the two of them, it flew apart towards the edge of the cemetery.As soon as he reached the edge, he was blocked by an invisible wall.

Black smoke drifted rapidly along the edge of the cemetery.

Bai Wan'er waved her hand and swung the Ruyi Lock on her other hand to chase the black smoke.While shouting loudly: "I'll come this way. Fellow Daoist Leng will go to the tomb and destroy the ghost body."

Leng Zijiao turned around and jumped into the cave.

The black smoke seemed to sense something and circled in the air, avoiding the Ruyi Lock and rushing towards the cave.
