"Truth be told, we've been tracking this monster for over a year now." Chen Xiao said.

"This monster has been wreaking havoc here for three years, why did you start tracking it more than a year ago? Why did you know that there are monsters here, and they have been harming the lives of the people here, but they didn't kill them in the first place? Meng Ran asked coldly on the side.

"Hey! Let's ......" Xiaojing just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Chen Xiao stretching out her hand.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly, a little helpless.

"Can you talk in a different place?"

Qi Zhen and the others looked at the villagers around them who were kneeling on the ground and nodded.

"Get up, please find us a quiet place, please." Qi Zhen said.

The vast majority of the villagers had never seen these immortals flying around in the sky in their lives, and at this time, how dare they talk nonsense, they stood up one after another, and the respected old man arranged a quiet room for the immortal master to talk.

The rest of the villagers naturally ran to tell each other, and their faces couldn't hide their joy.

In a spacious and clean room, everyone sat down.

"Here's the thing......" Chen Xiao didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point.

Three years ago, the demonic energy of the Well of Gods and Demons leaked to the world, causing a big movement of monsters in the world, there are so many monsters in the world, people who cultivate immortals can't be busy at all, the most important thing is to ensure that the demons are not injured by the demons......

In short, in the past three years, these so-called immortal masters have really not had an easy time.

The only advantage is that you can use war to nourish your war and cultivate your skills.

Even so, the high-intensity combat was a bit overwhelming.

Of the three generations of disciples in Shushan, one generation is naturally the first generation in charge, and Chen Xiao and Xiaojing belong to the better one among the three generations of disciples.

Therefore, the division commander ordered the two of them to go together to deal with the monsters infected by demonic energy.

The two of them came to the vicinity of Taihu Lake more than a year ago, found a faint demonic aura here, and heard that someone was missing.

However, this beast is really cunning, and the two of them can't rely on the seemingly nonexistent demonic energy to find the location of the monster.

Moreover, its behavior is very restrained, on the one hand, it almost never reveals its true body in front of ordinary people, and on the other hand, if it is simply invaded by demonic energy, it is crazy, and it is not like it.

Naturally, there are more tricky monsters waiting for the two of them to deal with, and it is not a way to always wait for it to appear here.

The two began to take Taihu Lake as the center, constantly radiating outward, cleaning up the crazy monsters around them.

This naturally includes the immortal pit where the Mulberry Snake clan is located, but at that time, Suzhou City was still wantonly searching for Yuemeng silk, and the Mulberry Snake and humans were still safe, so the two naturally had no reason to fight against the Mulberry Snake clan.

In the following year, the two would often return here to visit the homes of the missing villagers, except for a faint demonic aura that implicated Taihu Lake and the villagers' homes, these villagers seemed to have really evaporated from the world.

Probably because the sword qi on the disciples of Shushan was too sharp, when the two of them were here, the monster never dared to make a move, and as soon as the two left, there would be disappearances in these seven villages.

However, Shushan's swordsmanship is too magical, and thousands of miles away can also be reached in an instant, and in the end, the two of them still bumped into the whole process of the disappearance.

No, it's not so much the whole process, but actually close to the end.

"Do you know how this evil animal caused the villagers to disappear inexplicably?" Chen Xiao said that it was a sale here.

At this time, Xiaojing's face was blue and very ugly.

This is actually something that Qi Zhen has always wondered about, such a huge lobster, even if it climbs ashore, it must be a scene of the wall falling down and the house destroyed, how can it be possible to let the villagers disappear inexplicably without alarming anyone?

Chen Xiao's face was also a little ugly at this time.

When they came to a house with a faint demonic aura, they saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.

Countless crayfish densely surrounded a person's body, and kept using their own small tongs to clip off the meat on that person's body little by little and put it in their mouths.

That man's body had been disemboweled, and his heart was still beating slightly!

For the other crayfish that didn't have a chance to feast, the two pincers opened and closed slightly, making a slight noise.

Countless crayfish tapped their pincers together, producing a strange rhythm.

Chen Xiao listened carefully, and almost lost his sword heart and fell to the ground.

What a sound barrier!

He and Xiaojing hurriedly closed their hearing with sword intent, so that the miserable end of fainting to the ground did not occur.

It turned out that the reason why no one noticed that someone was missing, and the villager himself did not rise up to resist, was because he was hypnotized by this illusion.

After nightfall, the crayfish quietly crawl to their target's home, and then hypnotize the target by tapping the shrimp claws.

Then hug up and enjoy the feast......

This man's body has been eaten more than half, and there is absolutely no possibility of survival.

Chen Xiao made a decision immediately and gave him a good time.

As for the crayfish that were still gnawing, Chen Xiao thought about it and still didn't choose to kill them all.

I was afraid that the villagers would panic when they saw the corpse, and they were afraid that they would lose the clues again.

With Chen Xiao's learning of Shushan-related knowledge, such a large-scale and orderly behavior is definitely a much more powerful monster command behind it.

These strange-looking things are not recorded in the Ten Thousand Demon Genealogy, and the demonic energy on these animals is not heavy, but this demonic aura does not seem to be fake, it is not like it is born with it, but it is contaminated from the outside world.

So he recalled that there was a book of "The Book of Beasts" in the Shushan Library Pavilion, as if there was a similar record of this animal in it, but he really couldn't remember it.

Soon, the man disappeared from the crayfish gnawing.

Yes, gone.

Even the hardest bones of the human body are eaten by these crayfish.

Not even a single corner of this man's clothes remained.

Chen Xiao's heart was a little chilly.

No one can take this scene calmly.

After the crayfish finished eating, they began to retreat in an orderly manner and retreated into the Taihu Lake.

Chen Xiao's sword sense swept across the lake, but found nothing.

This situation is the most troublesome for these Shushan disciples, and it seems that they can only ask for help from the Taoist friends of the Penglai Immortal Domain.

It's just that...... I'm afraid that the situation on the coast of the East China Sea is even more severe than that in the interior, and I wonder if they will have time to come here.

A sword book flew northeast.

It seems that at this time, we can only pay more attention to this place and do our best to obey the destiny of heaven.

In order to avoid causing panic, Chen Xiao did not make a big deal about it.

But since then, the surrounding villages have gradually lost their traces of demonic energy.

Without much effort, Chen Xiao found out that the villagers spontaneously became lake bandits to sacrifice the lake demon, but he didn't pay attention to it.

"You mean, in fact, you already knew about this matter, but you didn't inform the villagers to leave, and after learning that these villagers robbed money and killed people, you didn't stop it in any way, I didn't understand it wrong?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked.

Chen Xiao seemed to know what Jiang Yan was thinking, and still maintained an elegant and easy-going appearance, and said lightly: "Yes." ”

If a person does something wrong, he will self-deny, self-doubt, and lack of confidence when he speaks, then the tone and tone of speech will be unnatural, which is the reaction that normal people should have.

So since Chen Xiao's voice is so indifferent that it should be, there are only two possibilities, either he really thinks that this matter is right, or his acting kung fu has reached the point of perfection.

But when she heard Jiang Yan's question, even Xiaojing on the side looked disdainful, and Qi Zhen knew that it must be the former.

"I want to hear about it." Qi Zhen stopped Jiang Yan, who was about to erupt, and said to Chen Xiao.

There has to be a reason.

Chen Xiao stretched out a finger.

"Shushan is originally a sect of cultivating immortals, and it is its responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the Tao, there are too many things of life and death in the world, if you take care of everything, I am afraid that you will not be able to manage it at all."

He held out his second finger.

"We informed the villagers that there were monsters in the lake, but it didn't really work. The migration and resettlement of the people should not be done by us, but within the scope of the responsibilities of the human government. ”

"Then why don't you see your subordinates showing mercy when you get rid of demons?" Jiang Yan asked.

Chen Xiao glanced at Jiang Yan and stretched out her third finger.

"Although the ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people, immortal cultivators cannot judge good and evil, nor can they arbitrarily determine life and death on behalf of the government, the so-called good and evil things are just different positions."

Qi Zhen nodded, understanding that in fact, these immortal cultivators actually had similarities with their own mentality.

Qi Zhen's team is also extraordinary to this world.

Seeing the girl from a good family living in the Qinglou, she was beaten by the bustard every day because of her poor hospitality, does it matter?

Kill the bustard and demolish the green building, what will these women do after that? Does it matter?

There is a drought in the northwest, and countless people have died, do you know that there has been no rain here for three years, how to remind you?

After you reminded you, the people fled the famine on a large scale, and the government could not implement disaster relief management, who is to blame?

Do you see that some people get on their horses and become bandits, dismount for the people, burn, kill and loot, and do all kinds of evil, but feed hundreds of people, do they kill to stop killing, fight evil with evil, and kill the first bandit, or are all the co-defendants sent to the government to wait for the holy judgment? How can those hundreds of people make a living, and they don't care?

This lobster kills people, although the means are cruel, but only two lives are taken in ten years, although the lake bandits are excusable, but the number of lives that harm people is more than that, how can the disciples of Shushan stop?

There was a lot of blank space in Chen Xiao's words, but the people present were not stupid, and they all thought silently.

In the end, Chen Xiao made a summary, which can be regarded as a final conclusion on this topic: "The world has its own law, the way of heaven has its own reincarnation, Shushan is originally a sect of cultivating immortals, but it never dares to claim to be the right way in the world, and the way to eliminate demons is the rule of Shushan, and the disciples of Shushan should live up to their mission." However, if you are chivalrous and righteous, or set the country safe, you can't do it if you don't want to. ”

"How does the Dao of Heaven determine good and evil?" Qi Zhen muttered at this time.

"When you practice hard, don't give up day and night, and wait until you soar to the immortal realm, you can get a glimpse of one or two." Chen Xiao replied.

"Teachable." Qi Zhen clenched his fists and arched his hands.

"Where." Chen Xiao returned the salute.

"But we still can't turn a blind eye to this." Qi Zhen continued.

"The head of the family once said that one person has a person's fate, and it is not easy for a person to live a lifetime to do what he wants, and it is even more difficult if he can not exceed the rules, and it is the choice of countless individuals to have this great world due to fate."

"So it's great to be able to do what you think."

Chen Xiao said earnestly and sincerely.

"You are indeed different from the other Shushan disciple I met." Qi Zhen said with a smile.

"Oh? Have you ever seen other Shushan disciples? Chen Xiao was surprised.
