Jiugong Mountain was located in Si Province.
The weather in this province was originally good, but ever since the seal of Jiugong Mountain was loosened, it suffered from famine and many people fled.
Chung Shen-soo passed by several villages in a row and saw that they were all empty. Only a few wild pheasants were leisurely walking among them, pecking at some insects to eat.
There were even some sects hidden among the refugees and began to stir up trouble.
"When the world is in chaos, all kinds of demons and ghosts have come out..."
Seeing this, Chung Shen-soo could only sigh.
His escape technique was too fast. In just a few days, he arrived at the border of Si Province. What he saw and heard was such a scene of people living in misery.
"My escape technique is too fast. With the speed of a Divine Ability cultivator, it will take me ten days to reach Jiugong Mountain. I can't go too early..."
After thinking about it, after entering the boundary of Si Province, Chung Shen-soo landed and put away the Poison Dragon Sword. He turned it into a black hairpin and put it on his bamboo crown.
At this time, he was wearing a yellow Daoist robe, ten square boots, and a bamboo crown on his head. He looked like an ordinary Daoist.
At this time, in the Si Province, there were at least eight hundred wandering Daoists dressed like this. Most of them did not have an official identity certificate. Chung Shen-soo mixed among them and was not conspicuous at all.
"I will just walk slowly all the way, and I will almost reach Jiugong Mountain."
Chung Shen-soo casually rummaged through the Qiankun Sleeve that he used to kill people and seize their treasures, and found a small banner.
This banner was a magic tool, and the restrictions had reached five layers. It was already considered a high-quality item.
However, its appearance was not good. It was dark and swarthy. With a shake of the banner, there would be black smoke that could enchant the soul. With a slight hook, the soul could be drawn back into the banner. Then, he would use various secret magic to refine it into Yin Soldiers and Yin Demons. The more the better. Over time, the power of this small banner would increase.
Zhong Shenxiu disliked the ugly appearance of this banner. She poured a trace of magic power into it and instantly refined the small banner again, causing it to become as white as the clouds. She even used a flamboyant handwriting to write the words' Iron Mouth Divine Judgement, Slaying Demons and Exterminating Demons'. She made it a little bigger and held it in her hand. A billboard that included fortune-telling, seeking medical advice, killing demons and other Daoist services was freshly made.
On this day.
Zhong Shenxiu crossed over a barren mountain. Along the way, she dealt with a number of tiger and wolf demons that didn't know what was good for them, several zombies, and a dozen or so bandits that took advantage of the burning house. Then, she saw a village.
Looking from afar, there was smoke rising from the chimneys in the village. There were farmers farming in the surrounding terraced fields. It gave people a sense of familiarity.
"In this year of great desolation, all the people in the village have fled. There are not many villages that can still maintain peace."
Chung Shen-soo muttered to himself. He held the white banner and walked to the entrance of the village.
When the farmers saw him dressed like a Daoist, they could not help but step back.
Only when he walked past did they point at him from afar.
The Daoists in this world did not only have a glib tongue. Many of them knew one or two spells.
Therefore, regardless of whether they were good or evil, ordinary people would not dare to provoke them.
"This Daoist, are you here to travel?"
When Chung Shen-soo walked to the entrance of the village, he suddenly heard a series of footsteps.
A guard who was dressed in bright and extraordinary clothes and had a bulging temple made him seem like a martial arts expert immediately ran over. He wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed. His words were very clear.
"I am Cloud Dreamer. I came from another province. I could not bear to see the chaos in this world, so I am traveling around to expiate the souls of the dead …"
Chung Shen-soo made a Daoist incantation gesture and answered in a sage-like manner.
If it were not for his young face, there might have been people who would have kowtowed to him.
"Daoist Cloud Dreamer, you have come at the right time. My master has been troubled by some inconvenient things recently. He is looking for extraordinary people. Would you like to stay at my master's place? The best house in the area is my master's house … Please stay here, Daoist Master. All expenses will be covered by my family. "
The strong man said quickly.
"Oh? That's good. "
Although the other party seemed to be desperate, Zhong Shenxiu's lips curved into a smile. She followed behind the big man and walked into the village.
As they walked, Chung Shen-soo asked some questions, "What is the name of this village? Most of the villages I saw before were dilapidated. Only this place can be regarded as a paradise … "
"You flatter me. This village is called 'Treasure Light'. It is said that it was built by a few Zen masters … Because it is located in a remote area, outsiders rarely come here. That is why we can barely enjoy peace."
The guard was called 'Zhang Tiezhong'. He seemed to have traveled in Jianghu. He had an extraordinary way of talking. It was unknown why he had lowered himself to be the guard of a rich man in the countryside.
After walking for a short while, Zhong Shenxiu saw a large mansion with several entrances.
The red bricks and green tiles were mottled and covered with moss. It had a trace of ancient charm.
To be able to build such a big house in the countryside, one must be very rich.
At least, it was not something that the hundreds of acres of fields outside the village could support.
Chung Shen-soo showed a look of interest and followed Zhang Tiezhong into the gate.
As soon as he entered, a layer of sandalwood fragrance greeted him, calming his mind.
Vaguely, Chung Shen-soo seemed to hear the chanting of scriptures.
It was just a very ordinary scripture. It was not the Black Lotus Evil Scripture that made him shudder.
"My master is a devout Buddhist and chants Buddhist scriptures every day. Please wait for a moment, Daoist."
Zhang Tiezhong led Chung Shen-soo to a side hall to wait. He excused himself and left. Not long after, a smiling maid served tea and snacks.
She met Chung Shen-soo's eyes and smiled sweetly at him.
"Ordinary rough maids in the countryside have this kind of color. It is really strange."
Chung Shen-soo knew that he had encountered something strange, but he did not panic. Instead, he immersed himself in it with great interest. It was as if he was playing a role-playing game.
He looked around and found that there were other people in the hall besides him.
One of them was a middle-aged monk wearing a monk's robe. God knows how many times it had been washed and the corners were a bit white. He was sitting in meditation and chanting scriptures at the moment.
Apart from this monk, there was also a young Confucian scholar with a long sword on his waist. Obviously, he was not a poor scholar, but a well-educated man who knew martial arts. He was a wandering swordsman who traveled around the world with a sword.
Just as Chung Shen-soo was about to greet him, he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind.
The strong wind poured into the hall, causing the door to sway and everyone's clothes to flutter.
"This wind smells fishy. It is not a good wind..."
Chung Shen-soo shook his head. He knew that a cultivator had come, and it was a cultivator who was not very good at Dao. This Soaring Wind Skill did not contain any Yang Astral Qi. Instead, it was bone-chilling. Obviously, it was still in the category of Yin Evil Skill.
"Haha, I am a bit late."
Amidst the laughter, a black-robed Taoist flew down from the sky.
Although in Chung Shen-soo's eyes, it was only dozens of feet high, all the mortals in the village were waiting solemnly. Some even knelt down and called him immortal master.
