On a moonlit night, Moxiang private school, in the courtyard.

A tall Yaksha peeked out of the shadows of the ground, and the green flames above his head were three feet high.

Xu Yuan stood in front of the earthly yaksha, like a child.

However, the moment he stretched out his left hand, Yaksha's body began to shrink and eventually became like a normal person.

The green flame above the Yaksha's head became more and more green, Xu Yuan's hand passed through it, and stroked the Baihui acupoint on the top of the Yaksha's head with his own Laogong acupoint, and recited in his mouth: "Through the calamity of the color of the package, life and death depend on each other to return the soul, the waterway is eight hundred, the dry road is three thousand, and the great treasure of heaven and earth is as urgent as the law!" ”

After a spell, a rune appeared between the eyebrows of the Earthwalking Yakshas.

There was a clear hint of impatience in the eyes of the earthly yakshas.

It's as uncomfortable and humiliating as being chained to a dog.

This is a normal emotion, and it does not mean that the earthly yaksha will do anything bad to Xu Yuan.

Of course, he was by no means convinced.

Sou!

The contract between man and ghost was completed, and the earthly yaksha jumped directly into Xu Yuan's shadow, slowly sinking, and finally disappeared completely.

It doesn't want to stay longer, it needs to digest the sorrow of losing its freedom.

"Thank you, Master." Xu Yuan bowed towards Zhang Zhenren's room.

If there was no Zhang Zhenren to suppress it here, how could this Yaksha sign the contract willingly?

Don't even think about it.

The monks who died in the ritual of signing a contract with a vicious and vicious spirit like Yaksha are not a small number of them throughout the ages.

"Rest early, tomorrow you will go to Zhoujia Village, so you can deal with this matter, and you must not be slack." It is important to know that there is no road to practice in vain, and every step counts. Zhang Zhenren's voice came out, "But if you lose one step, then all the roads in the past will be in vain...... Gone in vain......"

"You have Yin Soldier Eighteen, and I also happen to have a trapped array spell that turns Yin Qi into chains, and I will also grant you a technique for self-defense."

Regarding the fact that he left in vain, Zhang Zhenren seemed to have a lot of feelings.

Xu Yuan sighed slightly and returned to his room.

Yes, if you lose one step, you will lose everything, even if you are the Jindan Dharma Minister.

The path of cultivation is so cruel.

……

The next day, Xu Yuan went to Zhoujia Village.

The entire Zhoujia Village is now filled with an air of panic.

A few days ago, many people suddenly fainted, and when they woke up and learned what had happened through the mouths of those who had survived, they were all terrified.

These days, almost every family goes to the City God Temple to worship the City God.

During this period, Chenghuang Ye and Xu Yuan breathed, and also dreamed of a few old men, wanting to help Xu Yuan find out the news.

But unfortunately, none of these people knew the origin of the drought.

But it's not all without results.

At least, the reason why children in Zhoujia Village are generally only 10 years old and under has been found.

Ten years ago, there was a large-scale disaster in Zhoujia Village.

Whether it was a natural or man-made disaster is no longer known.

In short, overnight, almost all the children in Zhoujia Village disappeared.

In addition to traveling.

The case once shocked Lu Town, but the government investigated many times, but it was never fruitless.

After that, the villagers of Zhoujia Village gradually accepted this cruel fact and began to renew their babies.

Therefore, all the children in Zhoujia Village are under the age of 10.

"Travel." Xu Yuan came to Zhou You's house.

Zhou You's father and mother were about to kneel when they saw Xu Yuan, but they were stopped by Xu Yuan.

After being polite for a long time, we got down to business.

"Travel, ten years ago......" Xu Yuan just got up.

It's hard to look at the complexion of the tour.

In the past ten years, the villagers who have lost their children have had a hard time, but the days of traveling around are also not good.

Who made him the only "survivor"!

At that time, there were people who said anything, and some people even thought that if Zhou You was gone, maybe their children would not disappear. Zhou You was bullied by many people because of this, and even his father and mother were helpless, so they could only be a man with their tails between their legs.

The family had a miserable life, and they could never hold their heads up in the village.

"Think about what you did before that day." Xu Yuan firmly believes that there must be a reason for everything.

He secretly investigated many times and confirmed that Zhou You and his father and mother were indeed just ordinary people.

"I herded the cows...... Then I went home and fed the pigs...... I also sent food to my grandfather...... Because I ran several times that day, I was sleepy early in the morning and went to bed early...... By the way, the day before was the day of the meeting, and I went to Luzhen City with my grandfather and worshiped the city god. Zhou You said, "My grandfather has always said that it was Lord Chenghuang who blessed me. ”

"That day, I also picked up an incense candle stick in the Chenghuang Temple when I was distracted, pasted a hand of red candle oil, and thought that I could add a candle to it when I went home, and it could be brighter for a while...... As a result, when Ah Gong found out, he also reprimanded me, saying that I did not respect Chenghuang and asked me to kowtow and admit my mistakes. ”

As a result, this happened in Zhoujia Village the next day, and it went back and forth for several days, but the government never found out the problem. Later, some people said that it was the evil spirit, and that the city god could not protect us, so they no longer worshiped the city god. ”

"The City God Temple was abandoned because of this, and no one took care of it after the death of the previous generation of temple Zhu."

"This ......" Xu Yuan was stunned, there is such a tragic and untold story with the City God.

He also said that it was the water ghost who was haunting him and blocked his incense.

There are even earlier internal causes in this.

That's right, this kind of trouble, Lord Chenghuang will not take the initiative to mention it, so as not to lose face.

It's no wonder that he was enthusiastic about helping Xu Yuan to find out the news in his dreams before, I'm afraid this pimple has been in his heart for a long time. Now that Xu Yuan is going to investigate, he may be so happy.

This old fox, full of fasting, can't he be sincere?

I, Xu Yuan, promise not to laugh at you.

"Wait a moment and don't disturb me." After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep in the courtyard.

As soon as he fell asleep, the voice of the city god appeared.

"Good boy, murderer, Daye Chenghuangye? Do you dare to shout, do you know who the other person is? You've caused a lot of trouble to the deity! Lord Chenghuang was indignant and took a bite of Xu Yuan first.

"That's not what you've always entrusted me with? Since it's a big trouble, I can't afford it even more if I have a small casual cultivation, Lord Chenghuang, you can work hard, and you will be recognized by heaven and earth, but you are still afraid of a hundred ghost mansions? "Xu Yuan is not fooled, this matter should be the responsibility of the City God.

"Forget it, let's talk about it in the future, let's talk about the matter in front of me first." Seeing that Xu Yuan was not involved in cause and effect, and did not entangle, Lord Chenghuang took the initiative to confess, "What Zhou You said is true. ”

"However, as a city god, although it stands to reason that I should protect the entire Lu Town, because of the limited mana, the area that the city god can really protect is often only in the city."

"This is a defect in the architecture of the Daye City God Temple, which cannot be repaired. I can only barely communicate with you here, and I can't form a dream. ”

"I was able to keep that trip with incense candles and sticks, and I did my best. I, the city god, really have no dereliction of duty, and I am indeed beyond the reach of the whip. ”

Xu Yuan realized this.

I see.

The further away from the construction scope of the temple, the weaker the influence of the temple.

At the beginning, there were indeed monsters to make trouble, and the city god was not able to catch it, which is why such a natural and man-made disaster occurred.

"Then do you know the roots of the other party?" Xu Yuan asked.

Lord Chenghuang said: "I can't say that I don't know...... The monster was so weird that it had already happened that night after hearing a cicada chirp, and I didn't have time to stop it, and I didn't meet the other party. ”

"I guess that's a very powerful time-type supernatural power! The cicada chirping was only a moment in Lu Town, but in fact, the night had passed, and everyone was frozen in time by the cicada's chirping, unconscious. ”

"It steals everyone's time! Taking advantage of this night, it took away all the children in Zhoujia Village. ”

"But since Zhou You is fine, it means that the other party does not dare to offend me easily, its cultivation should not be high, it is just unpredictable. Because of the movement, the incense candle stick must have reacted, thus waking me up from the stagnation of time. ”

"There are a lot of demons and monsters with this kind of magical power, but there are not many of them, the seven-seven-eighty-eight that I have investigated over the years have roughly locked its true identity!"

Xu Yuan's spirit was shocked: "What is it?" ”
