Wu Mingdao got the task scroll from Zhao Lianghuan and didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly set off, after all, there was only one month left before the outer gate Dabi, and if he couldn't enter the inner gate this time, he would have to wait for another five years.

The last time the outer sect Dabi Wu Mingdao went to the scene to see it, all the outer disciples who participated in the cultivation were basically in the late stage of qi refining or the great consummation of qi refining period. Wu Mingdao originally had a ninety percent grip on Dabi, but after listening to Shizun's words, Wu Mingdao still felt that it was necessary to attack the foundation building period before the outer gate Dabi, so that it would be more secure.

"This mission seems to be just a simple mission to clear the evil spirits, why would it be rewarded with the Purifying Pill? I should have asked Senior Brother Zhao more at that time. Wu Mingdao looked at the task scroll and felt a little annoyed. However, isn't this Daze Township in Gufeng County, a neighboring county in our Xiangfu County? Then after this mission, I can still see my parents by the way, and I haven't seen my father and mother for nine years now. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Wu Mingdao's face.

Along the way, Wu Mingdao used the "magic technique" to hurry up, and finally came to the territory of Daze Township, Gufeng County in the evening of the next day. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the country in front of him made Wu Mingdao speechless in shock.

Although I was reading at home when I was a child, Wu Mingdao saw a lot of floods, locust plagues, droughts, etc., and Wu Mingdao also experienced the drought in Xiangfu County, but after all, he was young and ignorant at that time, and he only felt that people were pitiful. Now witnessing this scene of people's livelihood withering, Wu Mingdao's heart was like falling into an ice cave for a while, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

"Run, the plague god is here!" A red-eyed woman ran out of the alley next to her, and Wu Mingdao was startled. I saw that the man pounced on a corpse, and shouted while playing with his hand: "Run, it's too late if you don't run!" The plague god is coming, the plague god is coming! Seeing Wu Mingdao, Wu Mingdao's bloodshot eyes made Wu Mingdao feel a little stunned.

The man rushed up and grabbed Wu Mingdao's shoulder and shook it wildly: "Run!" The plague god is coming, the plague god is coming! Finally, she shouted hoarsely and fell to the ground, Wu Mingdao felt her pulse, obviously dead.

Looking at the puddles on the ground and the houses that had been washed away by the water, and then at the corpses on the ground, Wu Mingdao's mind went blank for a while.

Suddenly, a burst of crying woke up Wu Mingdao, Wu Mingdao walked a little drowsy to the alley where the sound came from, between which a little girl sat on the ground and cried, wiping her tears with her hands, her body twitching and twitching.

Wu Mingdao cheered up and stepped forward, "Little sister, you're hungry, come, eat something." Wu Mingdao took out a piece of pastry from his baggage and gave it to the little girl. Because the valley can only be completely opened after the foundation building period, Wu Mingdao still needs a small amount of food now.

The little girl glanced at Wu Mingdao, timidly took the pastry and then stuffed it into her mouth. Wu Mingdao helped the little girl up, cleaned the mud on the little girl's clothes and face with dusting, and then asked, "Little sister, what is your name?" Is there anyone else here? Can you take me to them? ”

The little girl sobbed again and said: "My name is Nannan, my mother, my mother ran away suddenly for some reason just now, I don't know where to go, my father was taken away by the 'plague god' last night, and many people have died these days, and I don't know if there is anyone now." ”

The 'plague god' in the little girl's mouth is actually an evil spirit-plague ghost attracted by the plague qi produced by the long-term "plague", and his cultivation is generally only equivalent to a monk in the middle stage of qi refining. Evil is already in the space between heaven and earth, competing with aura, where there is abundant aura, there are few evils; Otherwise, evil will run rampant.

Wu Mingdao thought of the woman before, and was silent for a while. The little girl cried for a while and said as if remembering something: "The county magistrate invited a few Taoist priests to come to our Daze Township, and a Taoist priest came to our village last night, but he was injured by the 'plague god' and ran away, I don't know where he is now." ”

Wu Mingdao thought for a moment and asked, "Does the 'plague god' come every night?" ”

Nan Nan thought for a moment, "Yes, he said that last year, our village did not listen to his words and obediently offered sacrifices, and this year we will slowly die no matter what." ”

Wu Mingdao was a little surprised, Daze Township has been rainy since ancient times, which he knows, but there has never been a flood for many years. However, this 'plague ghost' also appeared again last year, apparently because the plague was rampant after the flood, and the evil qi gathered to attract the 'plague ghost'. Thinking of the year-old drought in Xiangfu County, Wu Mingdao's heart was gloomy, and then his fighting spirit ignited in his heart, "Didn't I enter the Qingyun Sect to cultivate just to help the common people?" This is a test of my cultivation results. ”。

Wu Mingdao piled up all the corpses he saw along the way and burned them together to reduce the evil spirit. Wu Mingdao picked up the little girl and said, "Nannan, let's go to your house first, and my brother will avenge your parents tonight." ”

Wu Mingdao came to the little girl's house, and as night fell, the atmosphere in the village became more and more eerie. The wind gusted, and there was a burst of gloomy laughter outside the house, "There are two little things, let you go to see your parents tonight!" After saying that, he couldn't stop laughing.

Nan Nan was so frightened that she hid in Wu Mingdao's arms, Wu Mingdao felt that Nan Nan kept shaking, and her face became grim. "You have to fight quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome to be caught by this thing and hurt you." Wu Mingdao pulled out an appendix from his sleeve, in which he drew the Water Curtain Technique in advance and put it next to Nan Nan just in case.

Wu Ming walked out of the gate, and saw a mass of things floating in the air without facial features like "rotten meat", and his heart felt nauseous.

"Then eat you first, and then enjoy the little girl with fine skin and tender meat." The 'plague ghost' didn't take Wu Mingdao seriously at all.

"Housheng, retreat quickly, and let the old man deal with him." Wu Mingdao was about to make a move, and an old man in a Taoist robe appeared in front of him with a middle-aged man.

"Master be careful, this thing doesn't have to be in previous years, it's very fierce." The middle-aged man in the back said to the old man.

The old man's face also became more and more serious, and he threw out a few talismans to test the reality of the plague ghost, and the talisman turned into a fireball in the air and smashed on the plague ghost, the smoke dissipated, and a few pieces of rotten flesh on the plague ghost fell to the ground, but it didn't seem to be harmed.

The plague ghost let out a sinister laugh, and drew a meat whip from his body to hit the old man, who dodged his body for a moment, and then drew the sword he was carrying behind his back, jumped up and stabbed at the plague ghost.

The old man gathered his aura on the sword body, and the sword emitted a turquoise 'firelight' all over the sword, "Death!" The old man shouted angrily.

"This old man should be a cultivator in the late stage of qi refining, this sword is infused with the aura of the whole body, and it can be killed with one blow." Wu Mingdao looked at the old man and thought to himself.

However, to everyone's surprise, the plague ghost's 'body' suddenly doubled in size and grew a corner to look at everyone at a glance, and let out an oozing voice, "Even a mere Qi refining stage cultivator dares to be so arrogant!" His eyes opened suddenly, and a blood-red pillar of light burst out and met with the blade of the sword, the old man's face became more and more ugly under the stalemate, and he turned his head and shouted back: "Sheng'er, take that little brother and the little girl in the house and run quickly, this evil thing has now reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period, and it is not something I can deal with!" ”

"Young man, you run quickly, and the master and I will give you the queen of the palace." The middle-aged man also looked anxious.

Wu Mingdao was also shocked when he saw this scene, and quickly settled down. Secretly praised Chen Sheng's morality, pulled out the streamer sword and swung out a few sword qi in a row, the plague ghost did not expect that Wu Mingdao, who had never made a move, was actually a monk, and he was injured for a while, and the old man was also relieved.

The old man glanced at Wu Mingdao and exclaimed, "Good cultivation!" Sheng'er, let's join forces with this young man to get rid of this evil. ”

Chen Sheng was shocked by Wu Mingdao's strength, and when he heard his master's words, he hurriedly nodded, and pulled out his matching sword to join the battle.

"Water droplets!" Because Daze Township has just been flooded, there is a lot of water vapor nearby that can be used, which is a battlefield with natural advantages for Wu Mingdao. Dozens of water droplets mixed with spiritual energy appeared around the plague ghost, and suddenly exploded, and the plague ghost's body was suddenly hit with thousands of holes.

The plague ghost angrily threw his whip at Wu Mingdao, and Wu Mingdao basically completed the "Water Curtain Technique" to defend with little effort. The old man and the apprentice also attacked the plague ghost from behind, and for a while, Wu Mingdao had the upper hand. Wu Mingdao took advantage of the attack on the plague ghost, and a set of "flowing water sword technique" rushed up and cut the plague ghost scattered, and large and small pieces of meat fell to the ground.

Chen Sheng stepped forward with the sword in his hand to check if the plague ghost was completely dead, and when he flicked the piece of meat that fell to the ground a few times and saw no response, he couldn't help but smile, turned to the master and said, "Master, this evil is dead. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Kaishan saw the master shouting at him anxiously: "Sheng'er, be careful!" Come back! ”

I saw a crack suddenly appear on a piece of meat behind Chen Sheng, like a mouth, spit out a mouthful of dark yellow mist, the mist surrounded Liu Kaishan, Liu Kaishan instantly pinched his neck with his hand, his face was red, and he fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Wu Mingdao hurriedly used a spell to blow up a gust of wind to disperse the smoke, stepped forward to give Chen Sheng an antidote pill refined by Qingyun Sect, carried him back to the house, and put him on the bed. The old man checked the pulse of his disciple, breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed to Wu Mingdao, "Thank you Immortal Master for your help." ”

Wu Mingdao replied: "Don't dare to be, I am a disciple of Qingyun Sect, and I am ordered by the master to go down the mountain to get rid of the 'plague ghost' that appeared in Daze Township, this is a matter of duty." Mr. is the real heart, and he has not yet asked Mr. for his name. ”

The old man waved his hand again and again, "Don't dare to be a common man, and you will be promising in the next office." In my early years, I happened to be taught by an immortal master and gave me a book of qi refining methods, so I became a casual cultivator. Over the years, he has been making a living by dealing with evil things for the local government. ”

Wu Mingdao listened, and continued to ask: "Does that gentleman know anything about the evil that has appeared in Daze Township in recent years?" I learned from the records of the master that this 'plague ghost' should only be at the level of the middle stage of qi refining. ”

The old man sighed when he heard this, "I came here last year to get rid of the evil spirits once, and there really was no such tricky situation at that time. This year, the county magistrate of Gufeng County found me, and I just acted separately from my disciple as I did last year, and killed the evil when I saw it. The first two days went well, until yesterday when the apprentice was injured and found me, saying that the evil cult in Buffalo Village was afraid that he had the strength in the late stage of Qi refining, and I realized that something was wrong. Then there is today's matter, looking at the strength of that evil spirit, I am afraid that it has reached the level of the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period. ”

Wu Mingdao was still puzzled when he heard this, "Sir, do you know the reason?" ”

The old man shook his head when he heard this, Wu Mingdao frowned, and he didn't have a clue for a while. Suddenly, Wu Mingdao glanced at Nannan, who had a worried expression on the side, and also thought of Nannan's uneasiness in his heart, "For me, everything is fine after dealing with the evil and becoming evil." However, for Nannan, the days of helplessness in the future will be more tormenting. ”

Wu Mingdao thought about it, and said to Nan Nan with a smile: "Nan Nan, do you want to go to my brother's house to live, my brother's father and mother like Nan Nan is such an obedient good child." ”

Nan Nan stared at Wu Mingdao with big watery eyes, her eyes were full of expectation, but she never spoke. Wu Mingdao touched Nannan's little head, "Sleep, my brother will take you back to your new home tomorrow." ”
