wave!

Wei Ding landed outside an abandoned construction site. According to his investigation, this is the area with the strongest evil spirit within a hundred miles.

The yellow-green halo above the head was constantly flickering, and the rancid and salty smell permeated the dilapidated building in front of him.

Wei Ding moved his footsteps, and the surrounding withered and yellow trees made a 'swish' sound, and a black shadow emerged from the wild grass and swam around.

Wei Ding ran after the black shadow with sharp eyes, grabbed the void with one hand, and grabbed a red lizard from the yellow mist that was almost invisible. The lizard raised its tail high and slapped Wei Ding. , Wei Ding just glanced at it, and made the little demon unable to move.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his eyes, and five-petal golden flowers bloomed.Like a tamed pet, this originally vicious little bastard twisted its body and acted obediently in front of him.

Wei Ding let go of the Salamander, and the guy looked back at him, then quickly crawled on the ground towards the abandoned building.

As soon as Wei Ding stepped into the building, black dense air flowed from the ground under his feet, and after a while, a huge magic circle smeared with rotting blood was revealed.

There was a strong stench floating above the magic circle.Wei Ding blinked his eyes and took a closer look, the magic circle in front of him turned into a rancid black pool of blood, with blood bubbles of all sizes bubbling inside, and every time a bubble burst, there would be deformed dead souls struggling to get out of it. escaped from inside.

Wei Ding frowned, alarm bells ringing in his heart.This monster from the lower world can still do this kind of sorcery?

If he is not mistaken, what is trapped in this formation is the soul of a person who has just died, and he is tortured and killed with extremely cruel methods. When he is dying, the soul is drawn out of the body, and then he is trapped in this place where he cannot escape no matter what. In the formation, by means of 'storage', the 'bad energy' collected in this way will be faster, more and purer than usual.

This is a typical spell practiced by evil spirits. Looking at the tumbling blood bubbles in the formation, there must be at least a dozen dead souls here.

"It's really a crime!" Wei Ding said silently in his heart, first crossed the formation temporarily, and went upstairs.

Starting from the second floor, on every even-numbered floor, a tortured body was found.Judging from their attire, they are all very ordinary low-level people. On the sixth floor, the corpses turned into two teenagers, and Wei Ding stopped to look at the death conditions of these children. , every child is missing the same part of the internal organs - gallbladder, from the perspective of wound incision, the hands are very professional.

Wei Ding stared at the corpses of the six teenagers in rapt attention. One of the half-closed eyelids suddenly opened, and the black eyeballs just looked back at him with a dead light, as if there was a lot of unwillingness and hatred.

Wei Ding sighed, took out a stack of 'Purification Curse' talismans, and stuck them on the foreheads of the two corpses.

The extremely depressed, suffocating feeling in the air disappeared instantly.

Wei Ding raised his head again and looked at the top of his head. There is no need to look at the top, there will be younger children on every Saturday, until...babies.

This kind of sorcery was mentioned by fellow Taoists when he was practicing in 'Taixu'. It's called 'Magic Formation'. The corpses of adults are just the introduction, and the corpses of teenagers and children are the highlight. The younger the soul, the easier it is to manipulate. , the more difficult it is to be restricted by heaven and earth spiritual law, artifacts and treasures, because they are small, pure, easy to love, easy to hate, easy to resent, why do ordinary evil cultivators choose children to practice, it is like this.

Wei Ding returned to the first floor, faced the black blood pool, and made a decision.

The reason why the changes in the celestial phenomena are caused is that the bad energy accumulated in this 'Magic Formation' has reached its peak.Affected by the overflow of misfortune, it will cause chaos in this world.

Soon, the evil spirit who set up this formation will come to absorb the 'bad energy', his chance is now, he must get rid of that guy, and resolve this 'mechanism formation'.

Wei Ding covered up his aura, transformed into a real body outside the abandoned building, took root in the ground, and quickly entangled the roots, weaving a dense giant net under the ground, sealing off the entire area around the abandoned building. stand up.

The fire lizard was the guard here before, but now it has turned into Wei Ding's pet, obediently lying beside Wei Ding, turning its little head around.

"Hiss~~" Salamander stuck out his tongue, sounding a warning.

Wei Ding held his breath and restrained his emotions, waiting for the arrival of the monster who set up this formation.

A car drove over from the dirt road not far away and stopped at the entrance of the abandoned building.

Wei Ding was surprised in his heart: mortal? !

He didn't sense any evil smell, only the breath of ordinary people in the lower world.It's just that the qi on these people naturally has a rancid smell, presumably they have been affected by the 'bad qi'.

The car door opened, and two men in ordinary work clothes jumped out of the car. The two walked to the trunk and carried a struggling woman to the building.

Wei Ding's heart tightened.Oops!Are these people going to continue to kill and seize souls to fill this evil formation?

The front co-pilot's door opened, and a tall, slender figure in a white windbreaker came out from inside. The other person was carrying a box in his hand, and followed the person in front into the abandoned building.

Wei Ding is now facing a dilemma.Should I wait for the evil spirit that sucked the evil spirit to show up, or... save people first?

He had a premonition that the monster who set up this formation would appear soon.If he rushed out to save someone now...he would be the first to be exposed.

However, if he didn't save people, but waited to get rid of the demon, another ordinary person would die tragically in this place.

While Wei Ding was hesitating, a woman's terrified scream came from the abandoned building.

"what--!!!"

This voice provoked Wei Ding's will, making him unable to calm down at all.

He is a cultivator without much experience in eliminating demons and defending Taoism.After all, he spent most of his time in the 'Taixu Academy', basically an academic school.

From the perspective of the overall situation, the most important thing is to solve the evil here.Since civilians who died in vain did not die at the hands of practitioners, they would not cause "crime karma". If they were in the upper realm, almost most cultivators would choose to sacrifice their ego to save their ego.

Wei Ding was very hesitant.It was also the first time he had encountered such a situation, the first time he had to face such a realistic and cruel choice.

The surrounding wind direction changed, and the dark wind that originally hovered around the abandoned building spread out, and the air was faintly filled with a strong evil spirit.

Without looking around, Wei Ding knew that the evil spirit was coming.

Now, time is running out.Whether to choose to eliminate demons or save people... a decision must be made immediately.

The fire lizard under his feet hissed again into the air, Wei Ding looked into the abandoned building, sighed, turned into a figure, and rushed towards the abandoned building under the cover of the 'invisibility technique'.

"Hiss~" Salamander's warning sound became more and more anxious.

Wei Ding rushed into the building. Beside the formation, he saw the three ordinary people who entered before were about to torture and kill the girl. Among them, the man in the white trench coat with his back to him showed a sharp scalpel in his hand. He gestured towards the chest of the girl who was tied up into a rice dumpling.

Wei Ding kicked out, sending the man in the white trench coat flying.

"Who?!" The two men responsible for holding down the girl exclaimed.

Wei Ding kicked them to the ground one by one. Looking back, the man in the white trench coat got up from the ground and ran out.

Wei Ding wanted to chase out, but a strong pressure on the top of his head quickly pressed down. He immediately trembled all over, and had to use all his strength to resist the invisible coercion.

With a sound of "bang--", powerful sparks burst out after the collision of the two forces.

When the two ordinary people on the ground saw the blue flames bursting out in the air, they cried out in fright, crawled on the ground and fled subconsciously.

Wei Ding raised his head to look at the ceiling above his head, the demon has arrived!And found his existence.

The hard concrete floor under his feet suddenly melted away, and the black blood pool roiled with rancid blood bubbles and wrapped around his feet. The dead souls who were forcibly detained inside poked out their terrifying and hideous heads one by one, and opened their black holes. With a big mouth, he jumped towards Wei Ding's calf and bit it.

Wei Ding stomped heavily on his feet, a flash of spiritual light flashed, and countless spirit discs burst out, densely enveloping the dead souls, opening their mouthparts, eating food to their heart's content...

Wei Ding stepped up to the top of the building, looked around, and said through voice transmission: "Where is the monster, show up soon!"

"Oh?" The voice that responded to Wei Ding sounded, his voice was muffled, and his tongue was still twirling a little: "If you don't show up, how can I show up?"

Wei Ding heard the voice as if it came from all directions at the same time, and he couldn't get the direction for a while, "Then don't blame me for being rude!"

Just how deep this monster's cultivation is, you will know by testing.

Wei Ding folded his hands in front of his chest and recited the formula silently in his heart. His root net that had been laid out earlier was arching under the ground, and suddenly drilled out. Countless roots squirmed and moved towards the sky, bringing a lot of spiritual power , lit up half of the sky here.

There was a 'clang' sound of gold and stone in the south, Wei Ding looked back, there was a faint blue smoke coming out of that piece of sky, and he was fleeing outside his encirclement net.

want to run? !It's not that easy!

With Wei Ding's thought, all the rhizomes changed direction, and each of them chased the direction of the green smoke and quickly surrounded them as if they had independent consciousness.

Stepping on his well-developed root system with one foot, Wei Ding chased after him at the same time, "Spinning Leaf" followed his call, and a blue flying knife with seven leaves flew out of the 'Naxu Realm', chasing after Qingyan. Then fly up and down.

The sound of gold and stone resounded in the air again, and every time it sounded, a small spiritual light exploded.

Wei Ding already knew it in his mind.This evil spirit has just become popular, but its cultivation base is not advanced, so it is easy to deal with.

Just thinking about it, the 'Rotary Leaf' danced several dazzling 360-degree loops in the air. The spiritual power in the center of the seven leaves swelled and exploded like a bomb. At the same time, the seven knives spread out and rolled up the surrounding air. , Crackling, bombing again and again with the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops.

I saw a piece of turquoise and blue light intersecting each other, and the deep voice that responded to Wei Ding before sounded—forgive me!

But everything was too late.

A lot of brownish-yellow powder layers floated down in mid-air, and something fell out of the powder layer.

Wei Ding stretched out his hand to catch the little black thing that fell from the sky, and appeared on the spot.

There was a strong wind blowing from all around, quickly blowing away the yellow haze in front of him, and gradually, the sky began to return to normal.

Wei Ding looked down at the thing he caught, and his heart sank heavily.

this?It's a seed! ?

Wei Ding suppressed his pounding heart, and kept looking at the blue and green seed in his palm, which was the size of the belly of a thumb.

This should be the 'mustard seed' left by a real grass-tree cultivator like him. The so-called 'mustard seed' is equivalent to the knots that grow on the tree. As they grow, these knots will fall off by themselves. This kind of tree knot will be collected by himself to refine medicine and transform into pills. Unexpectedly...a 'mustard seed' mutated, gave birth to spiritual wisdom, and became a evil spirit on the side of disaster.

A deep uneasiness rose in Wei Ding's heart.In this world, would there be someone of the same kind or even the same family as him who possessed the 'mustard seed'?
