Mirroring the changes

The next day, early in the morning.

A group of three people walked out of the Killing Temple.

"Hahaha, finally out!!"

Li Geng had been locked up since the battle with Li Chen a few years ago.

This prison lasted for three years, and he just came out not long ago.

I didn't expect that as soon as I came out, I could go to the foot of the mountain to get some fresh air. It was really a blessing~

And following behind him was Chen Dong, who led Qiao Shan into the temple.

He had never traveled far since he entered the Wulu Zen Temple.

This trip to Qiaojia Village was probably the farthest place.

He had heard of this senior brother Li Geng in front of him.

To be the chief disciple of the Sanbao Zen Temple, he must be unusual, so he said politely: "This time I went down the mountain, it was all thanks to my senior brother's care."

Li Geng looked Chen Dong up and down, and couldn't help but secretly called out "What a bad guy" in his heart.

Chen Dong himself looked rough, and with a scar on his face left by the battle with the sea tribe, he looked even more ferocious.

At first glance, they looked like bullies from nowhere. The two of them were walking on the road, and it was not clear who was protecting whom.

"Okay, okay~"

As the former chief disciple of Sanbao Zen Temple, Li Geng was indeed qualified to make such a boast.

Seeing this, Qiao the Hunter, who was following behind the two of them, also hurried to flatter.

According to Muramasa, if they could invite a monk to help this time, Qiaojia Village would be saved.

This time, not only did they invite a monk, but they also got a lay disciple. I think the result will be satisfactory.

"There are 231 people in my Qiaojia Village. Thank you two masters for your rescue!"

"Mr. Qiao, it's too early to thank you now."

"It's not too late to thank you after we capture the fox fairy!"

Speaking of Qiaojia Village, it is a small mountain village in Lihuo Town, not far from the Killing Temple.

The three of them had the help of the spirit beast Baigu Lingxi, and they arrived at the village in less than half a day.

Although it was daytime and the sun was hanging in the sky, the village seemed dead.

"Is this Qiaojia Village?"

Li Geng looked around and felt that there was something strange in the village.

Qiao Shan nodded timidly: "Yes, this is Qiaojia Village."

"I think the fox fairy has come to the village again these days."

"Two masters, follow me."

After saying that, he took two steps at a time and walked in front of Li Geng. Instead of going to the entrance of the village, he led the two of them around the forest.

Qiao Shan is a hunter in Qiaojia Village. He makes a living by hunting all year round and is most familiar with the mountains and forests here.

This is also the reason why the village sent him out of the village to seek help.

In order to prevent the fox fairy from being alarmed, he did not dare to take the main road, but took the small path in the mountains and forests.

Li Geng and Chen Dong naturally did not dare to take it lightly. They followed Qiao Shan honestly and went around the forest.

It was not until near noon, when the sun was at its strongest, that they entered the village.

"Two masters, the yang energy is the strongest at noon, and the fox fairy will definitely not dare to show up."

Li Geng curled his lips. I came here to catch the fox fairy, but you didn't even let me see him...

However, after entering the village, Li Geng and Chen Dong looked at each other and saw some caution in each other's eyes.

It's strange to say, it was obviously noon, and the temperature was the highest.

The three of them were sweating all over as they walked through the mountains and forests.

But the village was filled with white fog at this time.

"This fog came strangely."

While Qiao Shan was leading the way, Chen Dong whispered in Li Geng's ear.

Li Geng nodded secretly.

With such a large area of ​​fog, I think the fox demon must have set up some kind of barrier in the village.

Just thinking about this, the three of them had already entered the village.

Qiaojia Village is located in a remote area and is a well-known ruined place.

The houses in the village were crooked and looked extremely simple.

After about a cup of tea, Qiao Shan finally stopped.

Li Geng looked up and saw a bamboo fence in front of him, and a house made of adobe inside the yard.

This is rare in the village, and it should be a wealthy family.

I think this is the Muramasa family mentioned by Qiao Shan.

The three of them hid behind the fence secretly. Qiao Shan looked around, lowered his voice, and imitated the cat's cry a few times: "Meow meow meow~"

Not long after, the sound of the door opening came from the house.

I saw an old man tiptoeing out his head, following the sound of the cat's cry, and soon found the direction of Qiao Shan and the other two.

But he didn't rush to open the door, but after looking around, he waved to the three people.

Qiao Shan was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately led the two of them to cross the fence and followed the old man into the door.

As soon as he entered the door, Qiao Shan couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle San, how is the village these days?"

The old man didn't answer but turned around and picked up a lamp from the table behind him and brought it to his eyes.

Four figures huddled together under the orange candlelight.

The old man was the village chief of Qiaojia Village and Qiao Shan's third uncle. The villagers called him "Mr. Qiao Sanye" and made decisions on all matters.

Mr. Qiao Sanye was hunched over and ignored Qiao Shan, but his eyes lit up.

The bald head always attracted attention at this time.

"Master, I wonder which monk from the Killing Temple you are?"

Li Geng was very proud when he heard this, and hurriedly put his hands together and saluted: "I am Li Geng, a disciple of Master Jiemie."

"Oh, I have heard of you for a long time~"

The old man Qiao's face was full of admiration, which made Chen Dong on the side laugh.

This senior brother Li Geng was imprisoned for three years and just got out of the temple.

Three years ago, the Shasheng Temple was still closed.

But I don’t know when the village chief had ‘long admired’ this senior brother Li Geng.

As if he had noticed Chen Dong’s abnormality, Li Geng’s face also blushed.

He quickly changed the subject and said: “Old man, do you know what’s going on in our village?”

Upon hearing this, the old man Qiao’s face suddenly turned bitter: “Alas, it’s not human, it’s not human~”

But seeing his reaction at this time, Li Geng knew that the fox demon might have done something weird again.

It released fog to trap the entire village.

Every three days, the villagers were required to offer a pair of boys and girls as tribute.

If they couldn’t get what they wanted, they would have to have ten strong men to eat.

“Tonight is the deadline, where can I find a pair of boys and girls for it?”

There are more than 200 people in Qiaojiazhuang, and there are indeed many boys and girls.

But the small village itself is a village, and there are more or less blood relations.

The palm and the back of the hand are all flesh, and he can't choose anyone to do it.

Seeing that the deadline is approaching, when Muramasa was looking at how to deal with it, Qiao Shan finally came out with reinforcements.

It was like grabbing the last straw, how could he not be happy?

"What a hateful fox demon, dare to eat human lives!"

Generally speaking, there are many taboos for the demon clan to practice against the sky.

Especially in the first step of transformation, you have to endure the heavenly tribulation, and only after passing it can you practice the Tao body.

And if you want to shed your demon body, the first step is to get rid of your beast nature.

Once you can't restrain your beast nature, it will be difficult to survive the transformation thunder tribulation.

Not to mention the subsequent practice.
