The two of them went all the way east, and at noon seven days later, they arrived at a poplar forest, and suddenly the forest was filled with thick fog, and the two of them lost their way.

The miasma in the forest is rampant, covering the sky and the sun, and it cannot be seen by the eyes ten steps away. The sun hanging high at noon was also blocked, and the forest was now dark, the heat was gone, and the cold invaded the body, like a storm was coming.

The miasma became more and more intense, and he couldn't see his five fingers, Xu Daoyun only felt that the sky was dark, and in a trance, he saw a golden and brilliant hall standing in front of him, with glazed cornices, golden lacquer columns, golden light and thousands of red neon, and thousands of rui qi spraying purple mist.

In the middle and there are two great gods, the sun is dazzling, the one on the left is full of auspicious clouds and colors, and the one on the right is demonic.

When Xu Daoyun's eyes were dazzling, he suddenly heard the loud sound of sword roaring from the sword box, and his spirit was lifted, and the glow and Qionglou Yuyu in front of him all disappeared, replaced by a bottomless abyss.

Xu Daoyun = swallowed his saliva, he was only one step away from being crushed, and he rushed to the sword and alerted him in time.

Xu Daoyun was busy running the dragon armor scale turtle to protect the outside of the body, and said to the iron bull who had already supported the true qi of the body: "It's weird, you follow me,"

The two groped in the fog, casually found a bright direction and kept going, and walked for half an hour, when the fog around them gradually faded, and a huge village appeared not far away.

At this time, the sky was dark and oppressive, dark clouds covered the sky, and a heavy rain was about to fall, so the two had to settle in the village first.

Xu Daoyun saw many figures walking around in the village from a distance, he was happy in his heart, and when he got closer, he twisted his sword eyebrows, because he found that the villagers here were all bloated. Could it be that the wind and rain here are smooth and the products are abundant, so the villagers are fat?

The two walked into the village, but Xu Daoyun's expression changed greatly, because none of the villagers here looked like people, specious, and nondescript!

They have noses and mouths, big ears, and extremely bloated bodies, and they are like pigs with hands and legs, walking upright.

Xu Daoyun was running his true qi, ready to summon Chonghe Sword to kill the enemy at any time, and he asked coldly, "Are you humans or demons?"

Several village names turned around, and one of the men said: "What are we not demons, and we don't pee and take pictures, aren't we the same?"

"Same?"

Xu Daoyun was confused, and subconsciously looked sideways at Tie Niu, and was stunned in place.

......

At night, Xu Daoyun and Tie Niu lived in an uninhabited fenced courtyard, and the two sat around the campfire, staring wide-eyed.

Xu Daoyun sighed and said, "What is this called, let... How did we become pigs?"

Tie Niu said: "Big brother, don't worry, we have been here for a short time, and we haven't completely changed." ”

Xu Daoyun absentmindedly flipped over the two roast chickens on the bonfire, and then handed one of them to Tie Niu, "It's all a conspiracy, otherwise why would we be walking so well that it suddenly became foggy? And why did we come here?"

"What do you mean, big brother?"

"I mean, our brothers have really fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes!" Xu Daoyun rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I knew that I would have called Lord Zhao Qi to accompany me, but I wanted to see how she would react after she became like this, I think she would definitely not be able to accept it, draw her sword and kill herself, hahaha." ”

Tie Niu smiled and asked, "Big brother, what should we do now?"

Xu Daoyun shook his head, "I'm helpless, I can only take one step at a time, I heard the old village chief say that the villagers living here are still in human form before the age of seven, and they will slowly turn into pigs in the future." But one thing doesn't make sense, you and I are both outsiders, and you can turn into pigs, what does that mean?"

"What?"

"It means that this is not caused by their bloodline inheritance, but that there is something strange about this place, maybe someone has put an evil spell, or it is possible that we are in some kind of formation, and if we want to restore our human body, we must find clues to break it. ”

"That's... Big brother has a clue?"

Xu Daoyun smiled bitterly: "Tie Niu, do you really regard me as an immortal who can pinch and calculate? The villagers who live here have been pursuing a way to break the curse for generations, and there have been no clues for hundreds of years. ”

Tie Niu said: "But big brother, there is only one month left for the selection of Zhongmiao Xuanmen, and we still have to hurry, what if we delay it for too long and delay?"

Xu Daoyun said distressedly: "I'm also worried about this matter, it's dark tonight, sleep well after eating and drinking, and think of a way tomorrow." ”

"Good. Iron Bull nodded.

After eating the roast chicken, the two were about to go back to the room to rest, when they suddenly heard the alarm bell ringing in the village, and the shouts and shouts of the villagers came and went, and it became a mess.

Xu Daoyun and Tie Niu rushed out of the fence courtyard, only to see the fire in the village, and the sound of swords colliding could be faintly heard in the distance.

The two glanced at each other, followed the sound and rushed over, and saw that the villagers were fighting with a group of Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes with hoes and firewood knives, which was extremely tragic.

Xu Daoyun saw the village chief in the crowd, and he ran up and asked, "Village chief, what's going on, who are those people?"

The village chief said: "They are spell masters, they think we are demons, and they want to kill all the people in our village." ”

"How can this work, indiscriminately, don't worry, the village chief, I'll stop them, Tie Niu, go!"

With that, the two of them swept towards the Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes, and the iron bull landed between the two groups of people and horses, and with a loud shout, a wave of qi spread on itself, shaking all the people around them.

Xu Daoyun jumped onto a board car, cheered up, and shouted: "Stop, listen to me." ”

One of the middle-aged spell masters shouted, "Demon, what do you have to say!"

Xu Daoyun twisted his sword eyebrows and said coldly: "I'm not a demon, I'm a human." ”

"Shut up, you beasts, you don't deserve to speak human words, junior brothers, kill me!" and with his command, all the spell masters waved their blades.

Xu Daoyun was annoyed in his heart, this guy didn't even let him finish a word.

Iron Bull stood in the middle of the crowd and knocked several spellers out with three punches and two kicks.

Xu Daoyun shouted, "Iron Bull." ”

Tie Niu stopped, without saying a word, jumped out of the crowd, came to Xu Daoyun's side, and asked, "Big brother, why aren't these people the same as us?"

Xu Daoyun said: "Maybe this is the breakthrough, but these people have lost their minds at this time, and I am afraid it is not so easy to talk to them." ”

"So what are we going to do?"

Xu Daoyun pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "You can only use violence to counter violence, but you have to remember that you need to be measured and don't kill people, you know?"

"Got it. Iron Bull agreed, and jumped into the crowd again, he was tall, especially conspicuous in the crowd, rushing left and right, and when he landed, he knocked a large number of charmers to the ground, and the situation in the field was reversed.

The villagers raised their hoes to mend their knives, but Xu Daoyun hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, so that they could stop after saying anything.

The middle-aged spell master wanted to come forward to rescue his junior disciples, but was stopped by Tie Niu, he had some ability, and he could fight with Tie Niu for dozens of moves without being defeated.

At this time, the village chief said: "Young Master Xu, let's take these charmers back to the ancestral hall in the village, and you can communicate with him." ”

Xu Daoyun only wanted to ask the middle-aged spell master about the curse at this time, so he casually agreed, stretched out his hand to stop Tie Niu, and said, "This senior, you calm down first, let's have a good chat." ”

Seeing that the villagers carried all his junior disciples into the village, the middle-aged spell master screamed, and threw out three pieces of rune paper like crazy, the runes on the paper flashed with light, and finally three raging flames were superimposed together, spraying towards Xu Daoyun and the others.

The fire spread so much that it burned all the weeds on the ground.

Xu Daoyun was about to summon the Chonghe Sword, but when he saw Tie Niu take a step forward, an invisible force separated the flames to both sides, and then he punched out, sending out a shockwave, and directly knocked the middle-aged spell master who was urging the fire talisman out three zhang away, and fell unconscious on the spot.

Xu Daoyun asked Tie Niu to step forward and carry him on his back and go to the ancestral hall to find the village chief.

Came to the outside of the ancestral hall, but heard the terrible screams of the charmer inside, Xu Daoyun hurriedly rushed in, only to see all the villagers kneeling in the courtyard, on the stone platform is an iron tripod, below the burning fire, the center is full of boiling golden objects, I don't know what it is.

Just as two villagers were pressing the bound spell master to come to the Ding furnace, the village chief stood on the high platform and shouted, "Release!"

The two village names next to the Ding Furnace immediately shook the wooden poles, and the Ding Furnace tilted over, and poured the gold juice on the spell master.

The spell master let out a terrible scream, and the flesh and skin of his body were melted by the golden juice immediately, and then the golden juice instantly cooled and formed, and actually poured a living person into a golden man.

The two villagers will tie up the golden people who have not completely warmed up with iron cables and drag them to the side hall, Xu Daoyun looked around, only to see that the side hall was full of such gold people, piled up inside and out, the golden light was shining, but it made people shudder.

The villagers continued to take a charmer to hold this strange memorial ceremony, Xu Daoyun was furious, flew forward, kicked the two villagers away with a punch and kick, and glared at the village chief on the high platform, "Village chief, what are you doing!"

The village chief did not panic, but said in an extremely calm tone: "We are paying tribute to the gods, so that the curse may be resolved." ”

Xu Daoyun refuted: "Sacrifice to the gods? You are simply crazy, how can there be any gods, even if there are gods, they will never accept this kind of miserable sacrifice, you are doing this!"

The village chief said: "Strangers, you are new to the country, you don't know anything, you don't understand. How many years have we lived here for generations, and our ancestors have not been able to break the curse in their lifetimes, which is the wish of all of us, and also for the benefit of future generations. Although you are strangers, you have the same appearance as us, which means that you are of the same kind as us, and the gods will not accept the sacrifices of the same kind, so you can only use these charmers to please the gods and lift the curse. ”

Xu Daoyun laughed angrily: "This is nonsense at all, the reason why our appearance will change, there must be another reason, curse or something, it's just nonsense, you guys stop it quickly!"

The village chief's face turned cold, and he said coldly: "Strangers, if you try to stop the sacrifice, then you will no longer be our friend, you will be our enemy!"

Xu Daoyun sneered, turned his head sideways and shouted, "Iron Bull." ”

Tie Niu understood, flew up to the stage, grabbed the village chief, and threw him directly into the Ding Furnace.

With a terrible scream, the village chief was burned to death with a whimper.

When the villagers saw this, they were all shocked, screaming and rushing to the outside of the ancestral hall.

Xu Daoyun stopped a "pig" who looked relatively old, and forced him to ask: "Where are all the charmers just now, have they all been built into gold by you?" You tell the truth, if you dare to tell half a lie, I will also throw you into the Ding Furnace." ”

The villager was so frightened that his soul was scared, and his fingers pointed to the main hall of the ancestral hall, and he stumbled: "Zong... There is a secret room under the ancestral hall futon, and a charmer is locked inside. ”

Xu Daoyun nodded, and immediately slapped him on the neck with a palm, directly knocking him unconscious, and then said, "Tie Niu, go into the secret room to save people." ”

The two rushed into the main hall, Xu Daoyun lifted the futon, and sure enough, he saw an iron ring, he pulled the iron ring to open a stone slab, and it was pitch black under the stone slab, and it was indeed a secret passage.

Jumping down the secret passage, seeing the faint flickering fire in front of him, and the screams of the charmer, Xu Daoyun quickened his pace and hurried up.

The vision in front of him suddenly widened, several torches were lit on the stone wall, four cages were placed in the center of the secret room, and the charmers were all locked in cages, handcuffed and handcuffed, flesh and blood blurred, like a gossamer, dying.

When they saw someone coming, they subconsciously began to cry for help, "Help... Help me..."

Xu Daoyun couldn't bear it, summoned the Chonghe sword, several white lights flashed, and the upper part of the iron cage was directly lifted out.

At this time, Xu Daoyun saw clearly that these people were not only handcuffed and shackled, but also had iron hooks pierced through the pipa bones, which was extremely cruel. He swung his sword again, severing all the handcuffs and shackles, then pulled out the iron hooks and carried the charmers to the ground with the iron bull.

At this time, there was a sudden crying sound outside the main hall, Xu Daoyun walked out and saw that the person who was crying was the middle-aged spell master, and at this time he was holding a golden figure and crying, tears flowed down his face, and he was heartbroken.

Xu Daoyun was very guilty, if he hadn't let Tie Niu knock these spell masters unconscious, they wouldn't have ended up like this, it's no wonder that he didn't know anyone, and he didn't see the evil intentions of these villagers.

Tie Niu asked, "Big brother, what now?"

Xu Daoyun sighed, came to the middle-aged charmer, and said, "Seniors, juniors act impulsively and make big mistakes, please punish the seniors." ”

The middle-aged spell master glanced at him and said coldly, "You... Are they the villagers of this village?"

Xu Daoyun shook his head, "The seniors really misunderstood, my brother and I were originally rushing to Qingping Mansion, but when we walked to a poplar forest, there was a sudden fog, and the two of us couldn't tell the opposite, so we came here inexplicably." ”
