Shura on the pillar of the blade of ghost slayer

Chapter 121
Li Qingming, led by Jiu Lang, went to the river to the east of the village.

With his seventh sense fully activated, Li Qingming sensed traces of cursed evil spirits in the gurgling river.

He looked up at the golden sun and thought about it.

Logically speaking, with such a big sun, no matter what kind of evil spirits it is, it will be completely eliminated.

The occurrence of such an anomaly can only show that the upstream evil spirits are very powerful.

If nothing else, it should be a cursed ghost.

Li Qingming said to Jiulang, "Jiulang go home and wait for brother, okay? Brother is going to fight monsters."

But Jiulang started to cry, and held on to Li Qingming's clothes, "Ahh! Brother, don't go, you won't be able to come back, and I'll be left alone in the end, woo woo woo ..."

Li Qingming knelt down, wiped the tears off Jiu Lang's face with his fingers, and said softly, "Brother promises to come back, believe me, I won't leave you alone, and I will take all the people in the village Bring everyone back, and you won’t be hungry again.”

He held out a finger, "Come on, let's pull the hook!"

Jiu Lang rubbed his eyes that were red from crying, stretched out a tender little finger, and said vaguely, "The elder brother must keep his word..."

Although he had only gotten along with Li Qingming not long ago, a helpless child had long regarded the person who suddenly appeared and offered him delicious food as a god.

He was really afraid that Li Qingming would leave like this and never come back like his parents.

With big and small hands together, Li Qingming said softly, "Jiulang listen to brother, don't cry, go home and wait for brother, let's have dinner together."

"Ok!"

Jiu Lang nodded vigorously, as if the harder he nodded, the more likely his brother would come back.

After watching Jiulang leave, Li Qingming looked up the river.

There is a forest in front of it. If there is no accident, the evil spirit is in that forest.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening, and as the sun set, the evil breath emanating from the river became more and more intense.

Li Qingming didn't touch the river because he didn't want to startle the snake.

The other party must have the ability to communicate with the outside world through water flow.

As for why he didn't choose to go during the day, Li Qingming once lived with the ghosts from the Spider's House in the Last String.He knew that during the day, ghosts had a poor sense of security. If there were almost no entertainment activities, most of the time they would be vigilant about the movements around them. If they found danger, they would probably do something similar to die together.

And the evil ghost's food intake is limited. Although the whole village is missing, judging from Jiulang's hunger, the matter should not exceed five days. The ghost cannot eat everyone.

There are still many people who are living as hostages and rations. If they go forward rashly, the evil spirits may feel that they are at the end of the road, and they will be so emotional that they will kill everyone.

Therefore, Li Qingming chose to go at night because he took all the risks on himself, which was much safer.

Li Qingming rushed into the woods and looked around, but couldn't find any clues, so he had to continue searching upstream along the river.

Just as he was about to come out from the other side of the woods, through the shadowy trees, he saw some mottled light spots.

It was as if there was another village ahead.

Quickly came to the edge of the woods, and saw a huge building straddling the river.

The building has red walls and green tiles, and is as high as five or six floors, with intricately arranged independent small houses one after another.

There are red lanterns hanging on the top of each house, and candlelight is shining through the paper windows.

A huge waterwheel was embedded under the building. Driven by the river water, the waterwheel slowly rotated, and the axle creaked.

The water splashed down and made a splashing sound.

The whole building is brightly lit from top to bottom, and Li Qingming can't help but think of Spirited Away from a distance.

At this moment, the door of the lowest floor of the building opened, and a rectangular plank fell over with a bang, just landing on the riverside.

Then a big, burly, dark-skinned man came out and shouted, "Work started, work started!"

He stepped off the board, followed by a long queue like a tail, men, women, old and young, standing on the bank of the river in a dark mass.

With his seventh sense fully activated, Li Qingming soon knew that there were 730 people in total.

Yes, all people, no ghosts.

When the crowd reached the river bank, they dispersed suddenly, rushing towards them like a forest like crazy.

Are they trying to escape?

But why did the big man say he started work?
Li Qingming decided to observe the situation before he figured it out.

As a result, hundreds of people rushed into the woods, like bandits descending the mountain, grabbing everything that could be eaten and frantically stuffing it into their mouths.

Some strong people climbed up the tree with ease, took out the eggs and stuffed them into their mouths together with the eggshells.

But some people were not so lucky, and the nests turned out to be hatched young birds.

However, Li Qingming never expected that those people would grab the chirping young bird and stuff it into their mouths, chewing desperately.

In order to prevent themselves from spitting out, they covered their mouths hard.

Under the tree, people who were unable to climb the tree cooperated with each other to catch a hare, and then swarmed up the scene, which instantly became bloody.

And those who cannot climb trees or run can only choose to chew the bitter leaves.

Some people can't even find the leaves, so they can only choose to chew on the hard bark.

Li Qingming looked at all this and felt bad.

Are these still people?

But after several confirmations, the answer is unique.

Those are all people.

But what are they doing?
While he was still wondering, the first batch of people who rushed into the woods were already full, and they began to break off some branches and branches and hold them in their arms, or put stones into their pockets like picking up treasures.

Some people couldn't grab the branches and stones, and cried in anxiety, as if they missed tens of millions of lottery tickets and didn't receive the prize.

If it wasn't for spending money in the town not long ago, Li Qingming would have suspected that the island country was famine.

After observing for a while, Li Qingming found that the burly man who took the lead did not follow the crowd into the woods, but stood at the door of the tall building, watching the crazy scene in the woods with cold eyes.

At this moment, the big man shouted loudly, "It's time for work! It's time for work!"

The sound reached the ears of people in the woods, and those who got the things ran back satisfied.

Those who didn't find anything were crying and frantically searching in the woods.

A man who had just gnawed on the bark wandered to Li Qingming's side.

The man was starving to the bone.

Li Qingming jumped out suddenly and grabbed the wrist of the man who was really looking for something.
