Although he did not succeed, Xu Shenxing still breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, when the girl came to discuss with him, he felt that there should not be so many supernatural situations in the world, so he was relieved to let the girl receive the celebrity alone.
If something really happened to Song Yu because of this, Xu Shenxing was afraid that he would really have to spend ten years practicing cutting the timeline...
As for the matter of the thing escaping, our protagonist did not care too much about it.
Although Xu Shenxing could completely follow the karma line on the corpse and cut off all the things that had a certain karma with it, after a moment of consideration, he gave up the idea.
First of all, the scope of this move was relatively large. It should be known that the human skin coat used by the demon did not appear out of thin air, but was really made by killing and skinning a human.
Although the female celebrity was still alive, and the origin of this human skin might just be an innocent person who looked more like her, there was no doubt that this human skin was still entangled with the karma of the deceased when she was alive.
If Xu Shenxing really did not ask whether it was right or wrong and directly cut off the corpse, the demon behind the scenes would definitely die, but the parents and even the nine generations of the deceased would die together with it, and it would be troublesome... He did not want to see news like "a shocking massacre happened suddenly, the cause of death of the deceased is still unknown, what happened to our country" in the newspaper the next day.
Secondly, Xu Shenxing's strength had been slightly out of control recently. Although his current performance was only to crush plates, break tables, and explode coke, it was to the extent that it would not affect his life as long as he paid a little attention. However, he was not sure what would happen if he really took out the Holy Sword of the End, Rolandur.
Fortunately, the current situation was not so bad that he was confused about the enemy.
And the biggest contributor to the intelligence was Qin Xingyan, who had finally returned from the Bailu Temple.
"Half a month ago, the Bailu Temple was traveling at the expense of my grandfather... Uh, I mean, the traveling uncles found some very strange phenomena."
Now that even Song Yu was involved, Qin Xingyan naturally wouldn't continue to pretend that he didn't want to trouble Xu Shenxing. That wasn't being reserved, it should be called seeking death. Instead, he honestly told Xu Shenxing and the others what had happened recently.
"Strange deviations have appeared in the beliefs of the world … Senior, you should know what beliefs are, right?"
"Probably something like incense?" Xu Shenxing answered with uncertainty.
"Oh, you're half right. Apart from incense, the strong trust and longing for a certain creature from the bottom of one's heart could also be considered faith. In this era where spiritual energy is scarce, the heterogeneous spiritual energy produced by faith is also an important way of religious cultivation. "
Qin Xingyan continued, "What my Senior Uncles found was that the amount of faith received by the Taoist temples and temples all over the country has strangely decreased."
"Your martial uncle is a Daoist priest, right? Aren't you afraid that you'll be beaten to death if you go to a monk's temple? "
Xu Shenxing asked curiously.
As soon as he said this, he found that other than Mo Li, who was still stroking the cat, Song Yu and Qin Xingyan were looking at him strangely.
To be precise, it was probably filled with a sense of helplessness that said, "Can't you focus on something more normal?"
"Go on, go on …"
So Old Xu could only scratch his head and awkwardly say with a dry smile, "I'm just a little curious …"
"At first, the head of the temple and the elders thought that because of the prosperity of science and technology in this era, people naturally ignored religion, so there was a phenomenon of a decrease in faith. Although it was uncomfortable, it was inevitable for the development of the world. It was something that couldn't be helped. "
Qin Xingyan adjusted his state of mind and then said in a storytelling tone, "However, as more and more reports were sent back to the Bailu Temple, gradually, the elders found that something was wrong. Many Taoist temples in remote areas had a lot of people attending, but there was a decrease in faith."
"There are even remote areas, and there are a lot of them … How many Senior Uncles do you have outside? Your temple is too rich, no, too free, right?"
Xu Shenxing couldn't help but complain.
"Senior, if you have any opinions, please tell my teachers. If there's nothing else, can you listen to me before you interrupt?"
Xingyan smiled like a flower, but for some reason, Xu Shenxing shivered.
"Okay, I'll stop talking. Yes, I'm serious. Please continue. "
Old Xu zipped up his mouth, indicating that he would stop talking nonsense in the future.
However, he couldn't help but feel that Qin Xingyan, who was usually as gentle as water, had become so anxious. It seemed that this girl had accumulated a lot of pressure while investigating this matter …
"After investigation, we found that the faith in those religious places didn't really decrease, but there was a 'deviation'."
Qin Xingyan continued, and probably because she was talking about a more important part, her expression became more serious. "Those deviated faith all gathered on human celebrities … This is incredible because humans can't directly absorb and use faith. Even in some Western religions, clergymen have to use some special methods, such as applying ointment like holy water to convert faith into foreign spiritual energy to absorb."
"So, we conducted a more in-depth investigation and found that those celebrities had unknowingly been replaced by a type of demon that we had never seen before..."
"Those demons would secretly learn and imitate the expressions, movements, behaviors, voices, and language habits of the victims. When all this was done, they would tear off the victims' faces, starting from the brains, and eat the victims until only a layer of skin was left. After that, they would live in symbiosis with the skin and live as victims. When the time was right, they would kill other victims for parasitic reproduction. "
"Because they used the victims' skin and flesh as camouflage, those demons didn't have the slightest bit of demonic aura. Without using magic treasures like the Demon-revealing Mirror, we couldn't even tell whether they were humans or demons!"
"Without a doubt, the purpose of these demons was to collect the faith of human beings, and then in this era of spiritual energy shortage, they could reach the threshold of God again!"
When Qin Xingyan said this, Xu Shenxing suddenly realized something that had been strange to him before.
No wonder these demons attacked the earth loli. Since their goal was to become a god of worship, they naturally couldn't miss the opportunity to study the earth loli — who knew how many earth gods left in the celestial empire who had survived the spiritual energy shortage. Maybe the earth loli was the only one left …
