Seeing the Western Rat King's hesitant expression, Lu Qingshan's curiosity was piqued.
Lu Qingshan turned to look at the restless Bai Piao Daoist and said, "I'll help you settle this matter. I'll take your peach wood sword as a reward, and we'll be even."
Bai Piao Daoist nodded calmly.
Lu Qingshan stroked his sword with satisfaction. Sword cultivators, sword cultivators. Only with a sword could they cultivate. He finally had his first sword.
After giving Bai Piao Daoist instructions, Lu Qingshan turned to look at the Western Rat King and said, "Lead the way. I'd like to see what's so strange that it's so hard for you to explain."
The Western Rat King had completely calmed down after Lu Qingshan's treatment. As soon as Lu Qingshan opened his mouth, he obediently stood up. He didn't care about the injuries he'd received from Lu Qingshan and jumped onto the courtyard wall.
Lu Qingshan followed closely behind.
The rat and the human quickly disappeared from the courtyard.
Seeing Lu Qingshan's figure disappear, Bai Piao Daoist finally let out a long sigh of relief.
When he saw Lu Qingshan unleash a bolt of lightning with a swing of his sword, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe loudly. He was afraid that this young Daoist Master would turn around and stab him in the back if he wasn't happy.
He was not a rat demon who could still be alive and kicking after taking two blows.
"Without my peach wood sword, I won't be able to exorcise evil spirits anymore. This won't do. I have to make a big profit this time to make up for my losses."
Bai Piao Daoist looked at the slightly messy scene in front of him. His thoughts stirred and his gaze drifted. After a moment of thought, he came up with a plan.
Bai Piao Daoist took some ash from the incense burner and placed it on the corner of the wall that had been cut by Lu Qingshan's lightning sword. Then, he took out a cinnabar used for talisman drawing and smeared it on the corner of his mouth.
After pretending to be injured, Bai Piao Daoist opened the tightly shut door and staggered out. His face was pale as he said weakly to the villagers, "What a powerful Hegemon King of Western Chu! This old Daoist almost got devoured by the ghost instead of killing it. "
Hearing the sounds coming from the courtyard, the villagers who had been feeling uneasy for a long time hurriedly came over to support Bai Piao Daoist when they saw Bai Piao Daoist's weak appearance.
The owner of the house, Li Lao Er, was even more uneasy. Rubbing his hands, he came forward and asked tentatively, "Daoist priest, how is the Hegemon King of Western Chu?"
Bai Piao Daoist glanced at Li Lao Er with a solemn expression. "This Hegemon King of Western Chu was a powerful evil spirit. His methods were so powerful that ordinary methods couldn't subdue him.
Helpless, this old Daoist priest had to sacrifice his lifespan and use his sect's forbidden thunder technique to kill him!
This time, this old Daoist priest lost a lot of blood essence and needs to rest well. From now on, this old Daoist priest won't accept any exorcism tasks! "
Bai Piao Daoist raised his head and looked at the villagers. He said, "Although this time the losses are not small, exorcising evil spirits is part of my duty as a cultivator. This old Daoist priest was fortunate enough to fulfill his mission.
The Hegemon King of Western Chu's soul has been scattered and turned into ashes. You guys go in and collect the ashes of the Hegemon King of Western Chu and seal them in the altar.
From now on, there won't be any more evil spirits. You can rest assured. "
Hearing the old Daoist priest's words, the villagers couldn't hold back their curiosity and squeezed into Li Lao Er's house. They wanted to see the ashes of the Hegemon King of Western Chu.
Hiss — —
When they entered the backyard, they saw that the backyard was charred black under the wall. The villagers couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Good heavens, this Daoist priest's methods were so powerful. He even split the ground into this state. No matter how fierce the Hegemon King of Western Chu was, he definitely couldn't withstand it.
Seeing the villagers' surprised expressions, Bai Piao Daoist felt proud.
That young man took my family heirloom peach wood sword for free. How could I, Bai Piao Daoist, let him suffer a loss? I'll take his credit for free.
The villagers were both scared and shocked.
Seeing this scene, Li Lao Er hesitated for a moment. In the end, he stood up and said loudly to the villagers, "Daoist priest, in order to help our village get rid of the ghost, you sacrificed so much. We have received such a great favor and have no way of repaying you. Why don't each of our families give you a bit more money as a reward for what you did and as a token of our gratitude? What do you think?"
Hearing this, the surrounding villagers all agreed.
Seeing this scene, the "weak" Bai Piao Daoist nodded with relief.
Li Lao Er, not bad. You're very smart. I didn't misjudge you!
.....
Lu Qingshan followed the Western Rat King along the mountain path into the city for nearly two hours.
Finally, at the foot of a small hill, the Western Rat King stopped and turned inside with Lu Qingshan.
After walking for a while.
In front of them was an open space filled with scattered rocks.
Lu Qingshan looked at the Western Rat King, waiting for its explanation.
"That Li Lao Er has business dealings with a restaurant in Origin Mountain City. Therefore, every once in a while, he would have to transport a cart of wine to Origin Mountain City."
"That day, I was greedy and secretly drank some wine. In a daze, I got on the cart and followed it halfway. Suddenly, I smelled a strange fragrance. Out of instinct, I jumped off the cart and followed the source of the smell all the way here.
Then, I found my way here. At that time, I found a blood pool here. The pool was filled with scarlet blood.
When I went forward to take a look, I found that the blood in the pool was thick and there were many red pearl-like objects rolling in it.
Strangely, the strange fragrance came from these red pearls. I couldn't help but eat one.
Speaking of which, it's strange. That bead doesn't look big, but after I ate one, I felt very bloated. Then, I left in a daze. As a result, I began to slowly develop spiritual intelligence. I could even speak human language, and I became like this. "
"Later on, according to my memories, I went back along the path, wanting to find the blood pool again. However, the blood pool turned into the stone forest before me. It was as if everything was a dream. However, the changes that happened to my body clearly told me that everything that happened was not an illusion."
The Western Rat King carefully looked at Lu Qingshan, afraid that Lu Qingshan would not believe its words.
Lu Qingshan did not move. He looked at the stone forest in front of him with a gloomy expression.
Not only had he seen the scene described by the Western Rat King, he also understood it very well.
[Blood Pool Reincarnation]!
Collect the heart blood of countless people and gather it in a blood pool. Then, through the blood pool, a Devil Child with the bloodline of Demons would be reincarnated!
This was also the ultimate goal of the Devil Cultivators when they started the Corpse Puppet Rebellion.
But wasn't this something that only started to appear after the Corpse Puppet Rebellion?
Lu Qingshan's heart suddenly sank.
What was going on?
Lu Qingshan understood that the stone forest in front of him was in fact an illusion created by a high-grade illusory formation.
However, with his current cultivation, he had no way to break the formation and enter it.
That day, it was unknown what had happened to the illusory array, causing it to temporarily lose its effect. This allowed the Western Rat King to discover the blood pool and secretly eat a Blood Spirit Pearl, thus awakening the illusory rat bloodline in his body.
"Let's leave this place first."
Lu Qingshan said to the Western Rat King.
He didn't know why such an important thing like the blood pool would suddenly be left unguarded, allowing a large rat to walk back and forth without losing a single hair.
However, no one knew if a Devil Cultivator would suddenly return.
With Lu Qingshan's current cultivation, if he ran into the Devil Cultivator who built the blood pool, he would die without a doubt.
He didn't dare to take the risk, so he didn't dare to stay here for long.
