In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

In the hall near the high platform in the village, five or six people, headed by the great elder, plus Wulonghai's Bao Huanzi, were discussing something.

"Although we took advantage of Feng Tianji's death to easily seize power in the village, the crisis has not passed yet. The people named Lu are even more terrifying than Feng Tianji. Even if they claim that they will not stay for long, we have to Be on guard." The great elder coughed dryly and said with profound meaning.

"That's right, according to the people who were sent to keep an eye on it, that Ah Hu has been deliberately trying to please them. He just hangs out at their door when nothing happens. The man surnamed Lu even taught him a powerful kung fu!" said an old man with a long beard. .

"That Ah Hu originally had a lot of influence in the village. If Feng Tianji hadn't deliberately suppressed him after his unexpected arrival a few years ago, he might have become one of the elders in the village now." Another red-faced old man also He said with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"This Ahu can't stay, even if the people named Lu really don't want to stay here any longer!" A hunchbacked old man suddenly said with a gloomy expression.

"Yes, but this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. At least let's see what Mr. Lu's plans are first. But just in case, we still have to send someone undercover to monitor and make sure nothing goes wrong." The red-faced old man nodded in agreement. road.

......

After resting for a night, Lu Yuan called Ahu, handed him a heavy water bag, and whispered a few words.

After hearing what Lu Yuan said, Ah Hu was immediately overjoyed, nodded heavily, and then left quickly.

Later, Lu Yuan found the great elder and killed Feng Tianji by mistake, weakening the village's strength. He offered to stay a little longer and help clear out some powerful Yin beasts around the village.

Although the great elder and others were doubtful about this, considering that it was also a good thing for the village, they didn't worry too much.

So for the next time, Zhang Tie stayed in the village to study the stone talismans and protect Mei Ning. Lu Yuan and Han Li took Ah Hu and some young men in the bush to clear out all the Yin beasts, no matter how big or small, within a radius of more than ten miles of the village.

After a while, not only did he harvest more than ten Yinming beast crystals of various sizes, but Lu Yuan's prestige in the hearts of these young men also increased.

More than ten days later, Lu Yuan looked at the twenty or thirty people in front of him, headed by A Hu, and each of them had increased their internal strength by more than ten years out of thin air. Ahu is even more powerful, with more than twenty years added, and with the addition of the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique, his martial arts is not much different from the original Feng Tianji.

"Let's do it!" Lu Yuan nodded to Ahu.

Ahu accepted the order and rushed towards the village meeting hall with a group of people.

Things went smoothly. In less than two hours, Lu Yuan was already sitting in the seat that originally belonged to the great elder.

"Gather the people in the village immediately, I will conquer the entire land of underworld!" Lu Yuan said coldly to the elders in the village, his words full of unquestionable tone.

More than half a month later, in a village in the northern part of the Land of Netherworld, Lu Yuan and his people easily seized control of the village. Next, when the other three routes are successful, the entire Yinming Land will be in Lu Yuan's hands.

"Starting from today, I will help you clean up all the Yin beasts around the village, so that you don't have to worry about the attacks of the Yin beasts for a few years. But in exchange, everyone in your village must start carving stones according to the patterns I gave you. Talisman. I will send someone to check the progress every month. If you fail to complete the task, I will kill you first!" Lu Yuan said coldly to the elder of the village.

Two days later, Ahu and Han Li sent people to deliver the news that they had successfully captured two villages. Only the route led by the lean man Xin Shi has no news.

Intuition told Lu Yuan that something must have happened. Lu Yuan decided not to wait and sent someone to invite Han Li and A Hu. The three groups set off separately to fight towards the last village.

Not long after they met in the middle, they met the last group of people who had retreated. Most of these people were injured, but Xin Shi, the lean man who commanded them, was not among them.

"what happened?"

"Where's Xin Shi?"

"And Huangsha Village is one of the weakest villages in the Land of Netherworld, and you didn't win!" Lu Yuan asked the leader.

"An extremely powerful person came out of Huangsha Village. We are no match for him. Xin Shi was killed by him."

"An extremely powerful person? Have you seen him before?" Lu Yuan frowned.

"That man is very young. I have never seen or heard of him. And judging from his clothes, he is probably an outsider who was sucked in during the last burst of Jue Ling Qi." The leading man said, and turned away. Leave Lu Yuan and Han Li behind.

"Young, clothes?"

"Wen Tianren!" Lu Yuan and Han Li's eyes lit up at the same time, and they guessed who it was.

......

Huangsha Village is a very small village. The total number of men, women and children in the village is only more than 200 people. This is why Lu Yuan was too lazy to attack it personally.

Standing dozens of feet away from the village, looking at the stone wall of Huangsha Village that was only less than ten feet high, Lu Yuan waved to Ahu.

"Go up and scold the formation!"

"Master Lu, they have discovered us. Is it necessary?" Ahu looked at the people running around on the stone wall of Huangshan Village and was a little confused.

"You know nothing! This is called getting the upper hand, otherwise you are waiting for others to scold you!"

Ahu was scolded and shrank his head without daring to ask any more questions. He trotted forward for about ten steps and cursed at Huangsha Village at the top of his lungs.

Of course, Huangsha Village quickly responded with all kinds of obscene remarks, and some people even shot out bows and arrows. However, Ahu is no longer what he used to be. He dances with a bone knife so airtight that he sweeps away all the arrows that were shot.

Most of the people in Huangsha Village were shocked when they saw this, so someone picked up a long spear and prepared to attack again. But at this time, a young man wearing a high crown and sackcloth climbed onto the stone wall and waved to stop them. And behind him, there was a stunning girl in white, who was Zi Ling.

"It's you!" The young man with a high crown took a quick look and saw Lu Yuan and Han Li in the crowd, as well as more than a hundred young and strong men behind him. This power was not something Huangsha Village could compete with.

Similarly, after seeing Lu Yuan and the other two, Zi Ling's eyes kept flashing with surprise.

"Young Master Wen, you're fine! We survived the catastrophe, why don't you come out and reminisce about old times!" Lu Yuan sneered.

"Reminiscing about the past? I'm just waiting here to see if you have the ability to come in!" Wen Tianren also said through gritted teeth. The two sides were already fighting to the death, so there was no need to beat around the bush.

Although Lu Yuan and Han Li brought more than a hundred people with them this time, they still had the advantageous location. There are more than two hundred people in the village, and with this stone wall, all they have to do is hold on.

Even though he was defeated miserably at the hands of Lu Yuan outside, now that both sides could not use their magic power and were back on the same starting line, he did not believe that Lu Yuan could attack easily.

"Okay!" Lu Yuan grabbed a few spears from the hands of people around him, gestured first, and then threw them out with all his strength.

The sound of "whoosh" shot through the air made Wen Tianren on the stone wall change his expression.

Fortunately, it seemed that Lu Yuan's aim was not very accurate. The spear, with an afterimage, was nailed in the middle of the stone wall, still four or five feet away from the top of the stone wall.

However, from the fact that the spear penetrated several feet into the stone wall and the tail continued to tremble, Wen Tianren was horrified. If this shot is successful, it will be considered as if he is wearing an indestructible iron armor. But with this strength alone, once he is hit, there is absolutely no chance of his own survival!

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan also possesses peerless martial arts!

Another sound of "whoosh" and "whoosh" pierced the air, awakening Wen Tianren. Lu Yuan below threw several more spears in succession, this time the target was clear and clear, it was Wen Tianren.

Wen Tianren didn't care about his face, he quickly squatted down and hid behind the crenellations of the stone wall. However, he did not notice that after Lu Yuan threw a few spears, they immediately turned into a puff of smoke and headed straight for the stone wall of Huangsha Village.

Qing Yan arrived at the foot of the stone wall in a blink of an eye, paused on the spear inserted in the stone wall, and immediately climbed to the top of the stone wall.

"Puff! Puff!" Several spears were driven in and Shi Qiang's voice sounded. Wen Tianren, who was hiding behind the stone wall, also felt the vibration of the stone wall, which showed Lu Yuan's strength.

Before Wen Tianren could breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes flashed, and Lu Yuan's sneering face appeared in front of him like a ghost.

"How did you get up here!" Wen Tianren was so frightened that he turned pale. He would not wait to die where he was so frightened and angry. Immediately, his body suddenly swayed, and at the same time, he exerted force on his feet, and the person was shot backwards, showing that his skills were extremely strong.

Lu Yuan looked at Wen Tianren's flying figure coldly, with a trace of sarcasm on his lips, and he disappeared like a ghost again.

Wen Tianren immediately felt something was wrong. He immediately twisted his body and wanted to change his body shape in the air, but it was already too late. Suddenly a gust of breeze hit him, and his neck tightened instantly, and a big iron-like hand strangled his neck.

Before Wen Tianren could say anything else, Lu Yuan suddenly exerted force.

With a creak, Wen Tianren's neck was directly twisted.

Wen Tianren tilted his head and his body immediately softened. The eyes on his face were wide open, as if he still didn't believe that he was going to die like this.

Lu Yuan lifted Wen Tianren's body with one hand and threw it out of the stone wall.

"Elder Lu is mighty!" Seeing Wen Tianren's body falling heavily to the ground, causing dust to rise everywhere on the ground, Ah Hu took the lead and raised his arms and shouted.

Han Li's eyes flashed, and he turned into a puff of smoke and came to the corpse. He unceremoniously grabbed a belt around his waist and took it into his hands. At the same time, he searched the corpse without any taboos and got a piece of green inner armor and several other treasures.

Han Li smiled and was about to put these things in his arms. Suddenly his expression changed and he stopped moving, then raised his head and looked up.

On top of the stone wall, Lu Yuan was looking sideways at him.

"I really didn't expect that Young Master Wen, who had always claimed to be the number one in forming pills, would die in this way at the hands of fellow Daoist Lu. If other people knew about this, I'm afraid most people wouldn't believe it." Zi Ling Ming's eyes turned, he glanced at Lu Yuan a few times, and said with a wink.

"I can only blame him for his bad luck." Lu Yuan said calmly, suddenly his expression became serious, and he waved a palm to the side with one hand.

There was a muffled groan, and several men from Huangsha Village who were trying to get closer to Lu Yuan were slapped and fell to the ground.

"Go and open the door, and then gather everyone in the village. I have something to announce!" Lu Yuan ignored the people who fell to the ground and said to the white-haired old man who was obviously the person in charge.

......

A few days later, Red Earth Village.

Although the surrounding area is also protected by a stone wall, the wall is not only only seven or eight feet high, but is also in many tatters, as if there is no time to repair it.

There are only about a hundred people living in this village, and the population is pitifully small. At first, Lu Yuan didn't waste a single soldier. He just killed a few green toad beasts and let the village surrender.

"Elder Lu, the things are inside. Go and see for yourself." A strong man pointed at a larger stone house. He apologized and asked Lu Yuan and the others to see it on their own.

After rummaging around the room for a while, Mei Ning looked at a tattered and blood-stained piece of clothing, her face suddenly turned pale, and her beautiful eyes became a little distracted.

"Is it your brother's thing?" Lu Yuan asked subconsciously.

"I personally sewed this shirt for my brother. The storage bag next to it also has our brother and sister's unique marks." Mei Ning's eyes were reddish and she murmured with a little choked up.

Lu Yuan didn't know what to say to comfort him for a moment, so he could only hold him in his arms after hesitating for a moment.

Zhang Tie and Han Li saw this and exited the room very wisely.

Mei Ning could no longer control her emotions at this time. She hugged Lu Yuan and buried her head deeply in Lu Yuan's arms. After a while, intermittent sobs came out.

"You will still have me in the future." Lu Yuan sighed softly and patted the woman's shoulders twice. Mei Ning cried even harder, and after a quarter of an hour, she raised her head with slightly swollen eyes.

"Since brother is gone, let's go to Storm Mountain."

"Of course we are going to Storm Mountain, but before that, we still need to collect some Yinming beast crystals and prepare some other things. It is estimated that we will stay here for a few months." Lu Yuan glanced at Mei Ning and said softly.

"Everything depends on you." Mei Ning said calmly, hiding the pain of losing her brother in her heart.

"Come here and pack up the belongings of Elder Lu's uncle. We're going to take them away." After Lu Yuan and Mei Ning walked out of the room, Han Li called the strong man from before and whispered.

......

Two months later, Lu Yuan and the others were in the cave where they were when they were sucked into the Land of Netherworld.

Dozens of stone plates of different sizes are placed in a certain pattern, and each stone plate is inlaid with a thumb-sized Yinming beast crystal.

Suddenly, a black energy appeared inexplicably and instantly filled the entire cave.

"Here he comes!" Outside the cave, Zhang Tie looked stern.

Then he sat down with his eyes closed, holding a palm-sized stone plate flat in his hand. A wisp of purple energy rose from the stone plate and floated into the cave.

Not long after, purple energy suddenly flourished in the cave, intertwined with black energy.

......

After a while, Zhang Tie collapsed on the ground sweating profusely.

"The Jue Ling Qi has subsided, and the experiment has basically been successful. Although there are still some imperfections, I already know how to change it." Zhang Tie said, breathing heavily.

"Well, that's enough. Come in with me and take as many fish and shrimps as you can!" Lu Yuan looked at the hundreds of men, women, and children behind him who were getting ready to go. He waved his hand and took the lead into the grotto.

At the same time, almost all the villages in the land of Yinming were mobilized. Under the leadership of several powerful people such as Han Li Ahu, they rushed to several other places where the spiritual energy broke out, seizing the time to snatch food.

Half a day later, in the village square. The villagers gathered together to sing and dance. Among them, fish and shrimps were piled as high as a hill.

Later, Lu Yuan told the elder to let each household receive it on a per capita basis.

Soon the whole village was filled with smoke, and the villagers happily lit fires to cover up the smoke and began to make smoked fish and other things to store food for a long time.

"Have you seen it? As long as you give them a full meal, they will recognize you, not to mention I will give them a year!" Lu Yuan glanced at Han Li.

Although since Lu Yuan unified the Yinming Land, he has issued extremely demanding tasks to each village. But this harvest is enough to ensure that each village will no longer have to worry about food in the next six months.

This has never happened before.

In addition, Lu Yuan promised that in the next few days, he will lead the youth of each village. Come on a big hunt near Storm Mountain in the Land of the Underworld. Strive to collect a year's rations for everyone, which makes the villagers in each village even more grateful.
