Become a Taoist from a woodcutter

Chapter 38: Ghosts and monsters become a reality

A two-meter-tall colorful tiger sprang out from the forest, and a terrifying wind followed the tiger.

The wind was shrill and shrill, like a woman's howl.

The three people had already retreated far away, and the unkempt middle-aged man was still reminding him: "Run away..."

"This woodcutter is stupid and deserves to die." The two burly men pulled him hard: "Quickly, this big insect has become a spirit."

The two-meter-tall colorful tiger came carrying the gloomy wind. The strong wind blew the surrounding weeds and fell.

Chu Jiang put down the firewood, but instead of retreating, he pushed forward, kicking the ground like an arrow from the sky.

Raise your palm and thunder will explode!
bang
The sound of thunder rises, the true sun rises, and the powerful energy and blood are like a rising sun. The red heat and high temperature burn the surroundings, and the dark wind evaporates instantly.

The tiger's claws arrived and collided with the palm.

bang
click

The moment tiger palms and human palms collided, a strong air wave spread, and some weeds were destroyed by the strong wind.

The sound of bones breaking was heard, and the huge body flew out at extremely fast speeds.

boom

The big insect hit the ground, throwing up a cloud of dust.

It quickly got up, but only stood on three legs. It looked at Chu Jiang in horror, turned around and ran away.

Chu Jiang took a step forward, leaving an afterimage on the ground, and heard the whistling wind beside his ears.

The big insect also sensed the danger, and its tail was like a whip, sweeping over.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jiang grabbed the tiger's tail and exerted force.

Roar

In the panic of the three people and the tiger demon, the big insect flew high and then hit it hard.

bang
The ground shook, soil flew, the surrounding weeds shattered, and vegetation flew everywhere.

"This this……"

"God and man!"

The three of them looked at this scene in shock.

"Could this person have already stepped into the path of immortality?" The middle-aged man looked at Chu Jiang in surprise: "Coming to the east, I can meet strangers. I am very lucky in life!"

"To defeat the tiger demon, you must have entered the path of immortality."

The two burly middle-aged men said firmly, looking at Chu Jiang with burning eyes.

Immortal way!

It has been said since ancient times that Emperor Xia searched for the immortal for more than ten years, but could not find any trace of the immortal.

Nowadays, the world has changed and all spirits have transformed, but the giant insects that can drive ghosts, gods, ghosts and monsters have turned from legends into reality.

The two people around Huang Xuan are both extraordinary in strength, but they are far inferior to this big insect.

As for Chu Jiang's ability to overwhelm this big insect, in their opinion, he should be a Qi Refiner who has already set foot on the immortal path.

Roar

The tiger demon howled in pain, its internal organs were shaking, and blood was oozing from its seven orifices.

The Yin Qi in its body was so fragile in front of Chu Jiang's powerful Qi and blood that it was completely evaporated.

Thunder exploded again, Chu Jiang let go of the tiger's tail, and struck the big insect's head with a palm.

The huge force shattered the skull and killed the big insect.

Watching the life and death of the tiger demon, the three of them hurriedly stepped forward: "Huang Xuan, I have seen the Immortal Qi Practitioner. If it hadn't been for your singing to attract us, we would still be lost in the forest. Thank you for your rescue."

Chu Jiang glanced at the three of them: "I am not a Qi practitioner, but just a woodcutter."

"Your Excellency is in seclusion, Huang Xuan does not dare to disturb you, but now there is chaos in the city, and something strange is happening in Donglin City. Huang Xuan is bold, please move to Donglin."

The middle-aged man bowed and said, "I declare that I will set up an immortal tablet and worship it for generations to come."

"How did you provoke this big insect?" Chu Jiang asked.

"There was a giant insect eating people in the east. Xuan led five people into the mountains to eliminate the insect and found its nest. However, they were defeated by the insect and three people died."

Huang Xuan didn't hide anything, he held up his hands and said: "This big insect has become a spirit. It can transform into human form with evil energy and seduce deceivers. According to ancient books, the tiger monster drives away ghosts, so it should have learned the method of ghosts."

"Where is the nest?" Chu Jiang asked.

"Three miles south, there is a stone cave with no less than ten bones inside." Huang Xuandao.

Chu Jiang picked up the corpse of the insect, carried firewood, and headed south.

"Dare I ask for your name..." Huang Xuan shouted and hurriedly followed. Chu Jiang didn't respond. He walked very fast and ran like the wind.

To him, a three-mile journey was only a matter of moments.

Under a hill, there was indeed a cave, which was very cold.

Chu Jiang entered the cave, where there were piles of bones. There were more than ten bodies, at least twenty-six, and a pile of damaged clothes.

A cold breath came from the depths of the cave.

Chu Jiang came to the depths of the cave. There was a huge stone with a long black knife stuck on it.

The long sword is slender, similar to the Tang Hengdao in the previous life. The blade is surrounded by gray airflow and exudes a cold atmosphere.

Chu Jiang looked at Hengdao and felt a chill all over his body, the cold breath, the biting cold.

"Huang Xuan said that three people were sacrificed, but there are no fresh corpses here, they are all bones."

Chu Jiang frowned and looked at these corpses.

Maybe it's a problem with the knife?
He thought for a moment and placed the insect corpse next to the black knife.

The next moment, a shocking scene happened. The gray air flow wrapped around the black knife turned into threads and wrapped around the corpse of the big insect.

The flesh, flesh, and fur of the big insect are rapidly melting away, and in the blink of an eye, only the white bones are left.

The black knife trembled, and three blood lines flew out from the blade, floating above the black knife.

Chu Jiang looked at the three blood lines, which were as thick as hair, and he could feel the majestic energy inside.

A knife that swallows the essence of living beings!

Is it similar to the effect of blood beads?
Chu Jiang pondered for a moment, picked up a piece of clothing and wrapped the handle of the knife.

Holding the handle of the knife, without any accident, he used a little force and easily pulled out the knife.

Returning with the knife, I found that the huge insect skeleton had lost its energy and was useless.

Picking up firewood and leaving the cave, he quickly left when he heard footsteps.

He didn't meet Huang Xuan and the others again, and walked away through the forest.

It was already late at night when we returned to town.

Chu Jiang did not go to sell firewood, but put the knife aside and slept peacefully.

Early the next morning, Chu Jiang checked his fortune, and it was another peaceful day.

Instead of going into the mountains, he went to the town to buy live fish and a live chicken.

He wrapped the handle of the knife with cloth and pressed the blade against the chicken and fish, but there was no reaction.

Then he chopped off the chicken legs with a knife. The blood flowed away and the chicken feet quickly turned into bones.

The chicken's body was not affected because the chicken was not dead yet.

"It should be the same as the blood beads, which can only swallow the essence of dead things."

Chu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right. If it can devour living creatures, it is impossible for the big insect to improve with the help of this knife."

He untied the clothes wrapping the handle of the knife and reached out to hold the handle.

Three blood lines actually penetrated the skin, and a large amount of essence poured into the body.

The gray airflow surrounding the blade also penetrated into his body.

It was still biting to the bone, but it was instantly evaporated by the blood.

The black knife vibrated, and the gray airflow surrounding the blade quickly shrank into the knife, not daring to erode him any more.

"The method of killing ghosts should also be due to the gray airflow on the blade."

Chu Jiang frowned and said: "This air flow should not be a good thing, otherwise it will not be wiped out by the blood."

He took out the blood beads again and put them together with the black knife, but there was no reaction.

"This time the good omen is bright and dazzling. Is this knife really just like a blood drop?"

He looked at the sharp blade, thought about it, and still had no idea of ​​​​experimenting with ease.

He took out the hatchet and lightly chopped on the black knife.

嗡

Silently, without a clank, the hatchet split in two.

Looking at the sharp blade, he instinctively felt a sense of danger. He was glad that he did not test it himself. This knife might be able to break his defense!
"I don't know how the big insect can do this method of killing ghosts. I think it relies on the Yin Qi of this sword."

Chu Jiang thought: "Anyway, I have the sword in my hand and slowly study it. Even if I can't figure it out, the defense of this sword alone is still a magic weapon."
