The three Taoist priests looked at each other, unable to believe that the black shadow had actually broken the Big Dipper Copper Coin Array. The three of them each picked up a bowl of rooster blood and threw it in the direction of the black shadow, and after the black shadow was splashed by the rooster blood, he suddenly retreated back and fled back to the seven-layer red rope copper coin array.

The black shadow was still very fierce and arrogant, scurrying back and forth in the red rope array, and the copper coins on the rope shook even more violently. Suddenly, the innermost layer of red rope broke, and seven or eight copper coins fell to the ground, and then the second and third layers were disconnected together.

A Taoist priest in the middle picked up the soybeans and read in his mouth: "Taishang Laojun is as anxious as the law!" God bestows the power of God, sprinkle beans into soldiers! Sprinkled the soybeans into the red rope copper coin array, and the golden soybeans on the ground jumped up, like a gold-armored divine soldier, rushing towards the black shadow.

The three Taoist priests did not dare to slack off at all, two of them held a peachwood sword, and one of them held a seven-star copper coin sword, picking up one rune after another, burning against the black shadow, stepping on the Big Dipper, and chanting a spell in his mouth.

The three Taoist priests splashed rooster blood one after another, sprinkled beans into soldiers, sacrificed magic weapons and runes, and used all their skills to carry out, the black shadow became more and more powerful, and suddenly several layers of red ropes were broken together, copper coins were sprinkled on the ground, and soybeans were shaken to pieces. The five copper coins in the "Kaiyang" and "Yaoguang" positions before the meal have disappeared.

The formation was broken, and in an instant, the three Taoist priests were rushed away by the powerful qi wave of the black shadow, and they hit the walls and cabinets one after another, unable to move. Li Longyuan's eyes in the hall widened suddenly, his eyes were round and bloodshot, and there seemed to be only black and red left in the eye frame. At the moment when he opened his eyes, the incense burner tumbled down from the altar, and the two Taoist priests beside him were speechless in shock, knowing that it was not good. The black shadow rushed out of Li Longyuan's body, hitting the two of them, and the two Taoist priests were knocked against the wall, spitting blood from their mouths, motionless, and Li Longyuan immediately fainted and died on the chair.

Li Kun and Li Yue had been waiting outside the house, and when they saw that there was no movement in the house, they still didn't dare to disturb them. After waiting for another two hours, I finally pushed the door in.

The living room and bedroom were in shambles, and the five Taoist priests all fainted on the ground, blood oozing from the corners of their mouths. The paper piercing man burned out, and the room was full of fluttering paper ashes, which stopped in the air and could not land for a long time. Li Longyuan and the five Taoist priests, under the shouts of Li Kun and Li Yue, woke up slowly, looking exhausted and extremely weak.

The five Taoist priests recovered a little, and hurriedly said goodbye, Li Longyuan had nothing to give, thinking that there were still two pickled dried snakes that he had been reluctant to eat, leaving them to eat again, the Taoist priests refused one by one, and did not dare to stay longer.

Li Longyuan knew in his heart that although the Taoism of these five Taoist priests was not the pinnacle, it was also to the point of perfection, and the five of them joined hands to sacrifice the "Five Emperors and Seven Star Array", but they still failed to subdue and no longer planned to do so. Later, I heard that five Taoist priests died one after another after returning home, and Li Longyuan was even more shocked to be in a cold sweat, which is another story, which I won't talk about here. Li Longyuan also gave up resistance, knowing that it was easy for the black shadow to kill him, and it was not over for a long time, he was pestering and torturing him.

That night, Li Longyuan dreamed of a strange village again, and it seemed that he had appeared in the dream. It was strewn with corpses, ruined walls, and a dilapidated desolation. Since then, Li Longyuan has been mostly bedridden.

In the spring of this year, Li Kun, who was not yet 15 years old, became the pillar of the family. The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and Li Kun can only shoulder the burden of the family at the age of youth and rebellion. His younger brother Li Yue was ten years old and also took on all the housework, and when he had a little time, he helped his brother earn work together.

This day was a sting, and Li Longyuan, as usual, was lying on the bed covered in red rashes. The sky is stinging, the yang energy rises, the temperature warms up, the spring thunder moves, and everything is full of vitality. Sure enough, there was a muffled sound of spring thunder, and a snake more than one meter long appeared outside the door, and the snake body was dark brown. Motionless on the ground, Li Kun was the first to notice it, he usually likes to read newspapers, and recognized this as the terrifying five-step snake, which is said to kill people within five steps after being bitten by this snake. Although the snake was not long, it was as thick as a shovel handle, and it seemed that the snake was not young. Li Kun has always been bold, quietly picked up the hoe, and slowly approached the snake.

The snake raised its head suddenly, spat out the snake letter, and looked at Li Kun, neither escaping nor attacking, coiled in place and remained motionless. Li Kun was startled at first, but after calming down a little, he went down with a hoe and hit the snake's head, and the snake died on the spot.

Li Kun peeled off the snake skin and took out the snake meat. I found that the snake gall of this snake is still there, green and oily, and I once saw the newspaper that the snake gall of the five-step snake is a good medicine, which has a miraculous effect on dispelling wind and dampness, clearing heat and detoxifying. Seeing his father lying on the bed, the rash had not disappeared, and he immediately steamed the snake gall bladder and let his father swallow it whole.

It's strange to say, after eating snake gall, the rash on Li Longyuan's body subsided on the same day, and people also had a little energy, and they could actually get up and do some housework.

After feeling a little better, Li Longyuan leaned back in his chair and read the abandoned newspaper when he found a terrifying news that scared him and fell off the chair.

Li Longyuan is not very literate, only after learning the Tao did he read a little book, the first thing that caught his eye was a large picture of the news, the black and white picture is a village, desolate and dilapidated, although it is not a color picture, Li Longyuan can still recognize this village, it is the one that appeared many times in his dreams.

Then there was a catchy headline: Bizarre tragedy in a small village, greed or revenge! Li Longyuan looked at the other accompanying pictures, on the photos, the corpses that can be seen everywhere are horizontal and festering, although they are blurred, they are still clearly recognizable. What surprised him even more was that as long as there was a house in each picture, there were air-dried meat skewers hanging on the walls of the houses, and when he looked closely, the skewers of meat were very similar to the snake meat he had pickled.

So Li Longyuan patiently read the text, and after reading this text, he couldn't believe it, so frightened that he crawled to the kitchen and plunged into the water tank, wanting to wash off the filth and horror on his body.

The village that appeared in the newspaper was at the northern foot of Baohua Mountain. There were only about 30 people in the whole village, and because of poverty and hunger, the people in the village were looking for food. I don't know if it was good luck or bad luck, one of them dug up a hibernating snake, picked it up and cooked it and ate it. After eating, he wanted to try the snake digging place again, but he found a snake cave, and there was a nest of snakes living in the snake cave.

The man suddenly had a lot of snake meat in his home, which made the rest of the village suspicious. At last the whole village knew the news, so they probed the snake burrows in groups, and at last they dug seven or eight snake holes, and they caught countless snakes, and the snake meat that they could not eat was hung under the eaves to dry.
