Ling Chaofeng went downstairs and saw that there were a few dressed cultivators standing in front of the inn. They were the exact cultivators that Ling Chaofeng and Aunt Zhang were looking for.
But they were not acquainted with Ling Chaofeng, they merely passed by, and because they walked for five kilometers from the Baisha River Pier, they wanted to drink a bowl of water.
"There are hot tea snacks and freshly cooked rice porridge." The Aunt Zhang was very polite as she said, "Fellow Daoists, come in and rest."
"Many thanks, Mr. Manager. We still need to travel, so we don't dare to disturb you." The old Daoist in the lead had white hair and a white beard, but he was brimming with vigor and vigor. He held a long sword in his hand, and his clothes were thin.
Ling Chaofeng often said that the Taoists on the streets were liars that they could not believe in, but when Aunt Zhang said that there were cultivators in the mountains, he had true abilities. Ling Chaofeng had fortunate enough to meet a few in the martial arts world, so when the people in front of him saw them, he could tell that they had some sort of history.
Aunt Zhang and Susu brought them hot water and also filled the water bags on their backs to the brim.
Aunt Zhang pushed Ling Chaofeng and whispered: "Why didn't you keep them?
Ling Chaofeng said: "If you speak so easily, I'm afraid you might have offended you. Wait till I inquire about their whereabouts, then you can come and invite me."
The Aunt Zhang said in annoyance: "What etiquette rules are these? Xiaowan and Little Pei having nothing to do is most important."
Susu stood at the door and waved to the two of them: "Innkeeper, Aunty, look, what are they doing?"
They followed him out of the door and saw that the Daoist Elders had only taken a few steps before sitting on the ground. They seemed to have some sort of formation and were seated in a very special position. They were chanting in silence. To be honest, they were looking at those weird people who were trying to scare people.
After enough time had passed for an incense stick to burn, the few of them got up and continued to walk forward. Ling Chaofeng then followed and bowed to the Daoist in the lead.
The few Daoists looked at each other, then spoke to Ling Chaofeng: "The demonic energy in front is very deep, we just calculated that it's the version of a Living Soul demon. From the looks of it, the illness of the Living Soul is in the inn."
They gave Ling Chaofeng a few runes and hurried towards the Baisha Town. At this moment, the demon spawn that had changed from Madam Xu's life was wandering around the town, and the Madam Xu hated Mu Xiaowan the most. When they saw the girl with her age and stature, they went up to persecute his.
If there were a passerby rushing over to help, then the yang aura would have been strong enough to scare the evildoer off. However, if there was no one to help, then three or four young girls in the town would have mysteriously died in half a day.
He did not believe in ghosts or ghosts, but one after the other, strange things happened in succession, causing him to panic. However, what he could do was limited, so he could only send his men from the yamen to patrol the streets.
He also ordered the people in the town to take good care of their girls and not to leave others.
The citizens all had their own methods, some sending their children to the buddhist hall, some pasting Dao talismans on the houses, while the Madam Xu circled in the sky, seeing that she could not eat the girls, her resentment grew even stronger, her demonic powers became stronger, and she no longer stared at the young lady, seeing her, he pinch her, and even one of the Fast Catcher on patrol died.
In just half a day's time, the Baisha Town had become like a ghost city. When a few sect leaders rushed over, this place was already enveloped in demonic energy.
The Daoist Priest set up a formation to deal with them and captured a few lesser demons. However, because of this, they angered those fiendish demons, and once they built up their momentum, the Daoist Priest's mana would probably be insufficient to deal with them.
The one who captured the thief and the King, the one who stirred up all the trouble, was that set of Living Soul s in the Madam Xu, and she could not vent her resentment, which was growing deeper and deeper.
Upon learning that a master of the Dao was here to exterminate demons, he risked his life to personally greet them at the town gate. The elders said that the Living Soul came from the yamen's prison, so the county immediately sent people to ask.
Indeed, there was a Madam Xu in the dungeon who was unconscious. And these days, she would often fall asleep for no reason.
When the Daoist asked about the history of the Madam Xu, the first case he had received in Zhixian was the two families' wives abducting and selling a married woman in Qingling Village. As a result, he remembered very clearly that she had a grudge with her stepdaughter, and that her successor daughter was the owner of the Ling Xiao Inn.
The Taoists came from the Ling Xiao Inn, and all these things formed a clue.
They were casting spells and exorcisms everywhere in the town, but the Madam Xu was full of grievances, and did not hesitate to be hostile to a few young Daoists. The young Daoists' cultivation was too shallow, and they almost lost their lives.
They devoured each other, and then absorbed the Yang energy of mortals. If this continued, the old Taoists would not be able to resist.
Madam Xu was extremely cunning and did not directly confront any of the Dao Elders. She roamed all over the Baisha Town and the Dao Masters were tired from chasing her down. After one or two hours, they were already exhausted. Even though they had cultivation experience, they were still mortal after all, so how could they fight against demons and demons?
Within the Ling Xiao Inn, Xiaowan waited quietly inside the house with Little Pei in her arms. Yellow talismans were pasted on the windows and on the doors, since Little Pei's body was that of a deity, he was not afraid of these Daoist magics, but he understood that these talismans were already unable to stop the increasingly stronger Madam Xu.
Mother and son came to look at each other, then came out to look. They saw that the young Zhixian had brought the two Dao Elders here personally, his attitude was humble and polite, and was discussing something with Ling Chaofeng.
When Xiaowan saw her husband's solemn expression, she shook her head as if she had rejected something. It was a pity that she couldn't hear what they were saying clearly.
But Little Pei heard it clearly, magistrate had actually brought along a few Dao Elders. He wanted to invite Mother to be the bait and lure Madam Xu out, so that the Dao Elders could cast a technique to eliminate the Spirit Demon.
He looked at his mother, his heart filled with reluctance. He decided that if his mother were to go, he would transform into a Golden Dragon and be ready to save her, even if … He would never be a mother and son in his life, even if he had to return to the Heavenly Court.
Everyone suddenly looked up, as if they knew that the mother and son were here. Aunt Zhang said emotionally: "No no, she is carrying a child, if something were to happen …"
"This junior doesn't believe in ghosts either, but more and more people in the town are dying. I beg Manager Ling and Madam …"
Ling Chaofeng helped him up, and said: "Master, allow me to discuss this with my wife."
very obediently moved to the side. He knew that he wouldn't be able to stop them, his parents had their own calamities and wanted them to help themselves.
Naturally, he couldn't just sit by and watch his mother die. If there was a chance, he would definitely make his move.
After the Xiaowan finished listening to Ling Chaofeng, the people downstairs wanted her to go to town to lure in the Madam Xu's Living Soul.
These words sounded unimaginable, but Xiaowan had actually been strangled twice. When she found out that the innocent girls in the town had also been strangled to death, she felt great pain, so she unwaveringly said, "Husband, I'm not afraid."
"Late …"
"Since it has been to this inn, it will come sooner or later." The Xiaowan said resolutely, "With the Dao Elders here, I will be fine. I cannot let more people die."
The people below saw the delicate young lady bravely walk down the stairs, arriving in front of them. She asked calmly and gently: "Daoist, what should I do?"
Xiaowan didn't need to do anything. She just needed to stand on the streets of Baisha Town. The Taoist Elders would naturally protect her from the side.
After arriving at the Baisha Town, the bustling and bustling town became miserable and deserted. Even the Xiaowan, who was born of a mortal body, could feel the waves of yin aura around her. She couldn't see those monsters circling in the sky, and naturally, she couldn't see Little Pei, who was protecting her from afar.
Ling Chaofeng followed right behind his wife. No matter what, he could not let the Xiaowan face the danger alone, he held the sword in his hand, but he did not know what happened.
The yin aura above Xiaowan's head grew stronger and stronger. Madam Xu had smelled her aura and as expected, she, who had been fleeing and avoiding the Daoist Priest, quickly arrived in front of Xiaowan.
"Mu Xiaowan, Mu Xiaowan..." She roared sinisterly, rushed down and grabbed Xiaowan by the neck.
A feeling of suffocation came from all directions, and just like before, the Xiaowan fell to the ground with her neck held tightly. Seeing that, Ling Chaofeng was startled, he brandished his sword and rushed forward.
But in front of him, it was as if there was an invisible wall, and no matter what, he could not take a single step.
The Taoists did everything they could, but what they did not expect was that even they were blocked from the barrier.
"Late …"
"Husband, I'm feeling … terrible …"
In the sky far away, Little Pei saw everything as he rushed down recklessly, "Mother!"
