The official road is full of people.

Because Qingzhen is surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is a transportation artery connecting the north and south, so that the scale of the town has reached the level of nearly 100,000 people.

There are numerous villages in the surrounding area, scattered throughout the mountains.

As long as you are within a kilometer of Qingzhen, you can smell the smell of rotting flesh and blood, and even mortals regard the smell of corpses as a symbol of the prosperity of the town.

Merchants from all over the world like to settle in Qingzhen for safety reasons.

Although Qingzhen is on the outskirts of the Sword Tongue Sect, it is blessed by the Immortal Sect, so there is no need to worry about demons attacking the town.

Before the sky was slightly bright, there were already hundreds of people lined up at the city gate.

According to the rules of Qingzhen, the caravan could only enter the town if they got the voucher issued by the government, which attracted them to hurry in the morning.

Of course, there are also caravans that have obtained long-term certificates, and they can go directly to Qingzhen.

In addition to the caravan, in the procession at the city gate, there were also many curious-looking scholars, aged at most about thirty years old.

For some reason, all the towns and villages under the jurisdiction of the Sword Tongue Sect still retain the ancient imperial examination system.

Like the official mansion of the Heart Beast Sect, it has long been controlled by the Dao Sect branch.

Li Mo was at the back of the line, his eyes constantly looking at the people around him.

When he heard that there was an imperial examination, he once thought that the Sword Tongue Sect belonged to the Immortal Sect with a normal painting style, until he noticed the appearance of the scholars.

Their jaws are visibly collapsed, their mouths sewn up with needles and threads as children, and their nostrils are covered with lime-like powder.

The most important thing is the tongue, which seems to have been severed from childhood.

Because he couldn't speak, the scholar's eyes were full of resentment, but because of his weak body, he looked like a walking corpse.

"What is this? The son is silent, and the strange power is confused? ”

Li Mo suspected that the imperial examination system should be related to the cultivation system of the Sword Tongue Sect, and it was not a way to screen the seeds of cultivation.

"Sword tongue, could it be that the Sword Tongue Sect uses the tongue as a material for refining flying swords."

Li Mo had a conversation with others without a word, mainly for clichés.

He was dressed like a medicine picker, and his speech imitated the local accent in the Qingzhen area, and he soon became familiar with the merchants.

A moment later.

The crowing of a rooster can be heard in the town.

The city gate slowly opened, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers wearing light armor walked out.

In fact, it was easy for Li Mo to quietly enter Qingzhen, but as soon as he got close to Qingzhen, there was an inexplicable aura that enveloped him.

Since the birth of the Born Saint, his perception of danger has become more and more acute.

There is a high probability that the demon cultivator in the city is in the infancy stage, so you must be cautious.

Li Mo glanced at his body.

The five internal organs are surrounded by a long and narrow intestine, and even the multiple dantian and furnace in the chest are entangled in death.

Unable to use spiritual power, the tattoo beast also took the initiative to hide under the skin.

As for the characteristics such as the Cave God Eyes, Li Mo temporarily covered them up by surgery, and deliberately exposed some traces of decay.

If you encounter danger, you only need to move your mind to remove the blood hidden soul.

Li Mo was very satisfied with the blood hidden soul, and after being promoted to the pseudo-magic weapon, he was extremely useful, and the means of hiding his breath could not even be seen through in the Yuan infancy.

The sea of blood can also be engraved with flesh and blood spirit patterns, but the fit is slightly inferior.

Li Mo considered that as a period of knotting, if the magic weapons he held were all pseudo-magic weapons, it was indeed a bit conspicuous, and excessive consumption was not conducive to the enemy.

He didn't rashly release his divine sense to check Qingzhen, because he didn't know the reality of the demon cultivator, and if he was very good at playing with souls, he was afraid that he would be able to detect his divine sense at a glance.

What is his concept of the six realms?

Placed in the magic gate, it is definitely a unique furnace.

If the original cultivators of the Human Demon Sect could devour Li Mo, they would be able to give birth to at least four or five spells, and their strength and foundation would be earth-shattering.

"The scholar entered the city first."

Some officers and soldiers sounded the gong, and the figures of many scholars disappeared into Qingzhen one after another, and then it was the turn of the merchants and peasants who waited for most of the hour.

The leading businessman secretly stuffed the cloth bags containing scattered silver coins to the officers and soldiers.

They don't have an immortal master behind them, and they can't afford to offend such a Hades ghost as an officer and soldier.

Ordinary people only need to be examined one by one, and the officers and soldiers mainly target those under the age of 50, and the examination is on their limbs and the back of their heads.

The team did not enter the city gates at all.

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"

At this time, a cough sounded, and the voice was extremely hoarse, accompanied by the movement of scratching the wall with his fingernails, which was creepy.

Li Mo frowned slightly, and looked at a couple not far away.

The couple were wearing thick robes, their expressions looked a little panicked, the cough came from the man's mouth, and the palms of their hands were already covered with blood.

In Li Mo's opinion, their walking movements were a little stiff, as if they were suffering from a stubborn disease.

The man grinned, pointed to the basket behind him and explained: "I'm really sorry, the little girl in the family unfortunately contracted the cold, so the Qingzhen sent overnight, the villain can't pay for it." ”

The woman nodded nervously.

She put her hand into the basket, as if to soothe her daughter.

With Li Mo's eyesight, he could see at a glance that the basket was filled with a clay statue.

The cough intensified.

The guards on horseback of the caravan on the side were condescending, and their eyes looked through the man's robe, as if they saw something terrifying.

"Ash... Gray disease!! ”

The guards tightened the reins of the horses, and the people unanimously chose to stay away from the couple.

"No... No, I don't have gray disease, where did it come from......"

The man tried his best to defend himself, but the movement was too big and the skin in his coat was exposed, and there were indeed a little gray spots on the surface.

The officers and soldiers drew their sabers from their waists and walked quickly in the direction of the couple.

The man was at a loss and wanted to take advantage of the chaos of the crowd to rush into Qingzhen, "Don't force me, I just want to enter the city, let me enter the city ......"

The so-called gray disease continued to spread, and the man's body became withered and his forehead swollen, like countless corpses underground.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers slashed at the man's neck.

Bite.

The saber was shaken open, and the man couldn't help but show ecstasy.

Just as he was about to set foot in Qingzhen, the gray disease completely covered his body, and the man suddenly turned into a withered and deformed gray statue.

A gust of wind blew, and the man was in ashes.

The basket behind him fell to the ground, and from it rolled out the shattered idol of the god, in the image of a Taoist girl with three heads.

At the base of the statue, the name of the god is engraved with the name of "Taiyi Sanshou Zhenjun".

Li Mo's pupils dilated, and he noticed that the inexplicable aura in the city flashed, and then the statues of the three true monarchs of Taiyi turned into slag.

The officers and men couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The people looked at each other, and for a while even the sound of swallowing saliva was extremely clear, and they were really frightened by the strange scene caused by the gray disease.

"Let's go, there's still a way to live in the city."

The only surviving woman took a few steps and soon followed.

Li Mo put his right hand behind his back, and the sarcoma in his palm retracted into the flesh and blood, and the big cancer did not notice any traces of the technique.

The couple's vitality was deprived in an instant, and the magic cultivation methods were difficult to fathom.

"Sure enough, it's an evil cult, and there is obviously more than one Demon Sect monk near Qingzhen."

The idol he encountered before was the Xuanling Great-Eyed Heavenly Monarch, and now it was the Taiyi Three True Monarchs, and the relationship between the two was obviously hostile.

Li Mo listened attentively to the people's discussion of the gray disease, and noticed that the gray disease had only appeared for five or six years, and the death was abnormally terrifying.

The route of transmission is unknown, and once you become a gray patient, mental problems arise.

"There is a high probability that the evil idol is a thing made by the demon cultivator, and mortals are easily bewitched by the idol, which makes the body stained with gray disease."

Li Mo was the only one present who saw the fleeting statue of the god, and the sword cultivator sitting in Qingzhen probably didn't know that the demon gate was already all over the place.

However, it can be seen that since Qingcheng belongs to the Sword Tongue Sect, the Demon Gate does not dare to be unscrupulous.

"Where did it come from?"

"North, Fuxing Town."

The officers and soldiers simply asked a few words, whether they denied Fuxing Town, and after confirming that Li Mo did not have gray disease, they let him enter Qingzhen.

Li Mo set foot in Qingzhen and was deeply afraid of the lively streets.

For the time being, he hadn't figured out the practice system of demon cultivation, so he wasn't sure if the ordinary people were from the arrangement of demon cultivation.

On the surface, though, there is nothing suspicious about Qingzhen.

The streets are lined with vendors selling their goods, teahouses and liquor shops greet passers-by, and the doors of the flower buildings that do the wine and meat business are closed.

Li Mo took a deep breath, he thought that after being involved in evil worship, there would inevitably be a large number of temples and Taoist temples in Qingzhen.

Unexpectedly, there was only one small land temple in the entire Qingzhen.

The incense in the land temple is not very good, and people who come in and out are one or two hundred years old, who come to pray for the safety of their children and grandchildren.

"It's really weird."

Li Mo noticed that many merchants who had just come to Qingzhen would go to the Land Temple to burn incense, so he followed them to the temple.

Compared to the magnificent temples he had ever seen, the Land Temple was extremely simple, with a low old building inside.

In the Taoist temple is a statue of the god of the land, and the plaque is called "Fortune Land Immortal".

No matter what angle Li Mo looks at, the statues of the gods of the Fude Earth Immortals are all clay sculptures, and the image is just an old man with white hair and beard.

On the side wall of the Land Temple, there are four statues of gods of different appearances, which seem to be subordinate to the Fortune Immortals.

"Xuanling Big-Eyed Heavenly Monarch ......"

When Li Mo saw the statue of the Xuanling Great-Eyed Heavenly Monarch in it, he immediately realized that the magic of demon cultivation was indeed related to evil worship.

If nothing else, the demon gate he comes into contact with should have a clear level of rank.

The images of the other three gods are completely indistinguishable from demons and monsters, and it can be seen that the statues of gods should have been shaped not long ago.

They are, the "Xuanling Five Organs Immortals" exposed to the body; The body is cut off from the middle, and the flesh and blood are blurred. There is no head, and the "Xuanling Tianlong Master" with a hideous centipede grows out of the fracture.

In addition to the four subordinate idols, there are four other idle pedestals.

It was also used to place idols.

"The idol represents the Demon Cultivator, and the Fortune Earth Immortal should be the Yuan Infant Demon Cultivator in the shadows, he won't be spreading the Dao system in Qingzhen, right?"

The subordinate idols were all shaped within four or five years, and the remaining four idle bases showed that there were still four candidates for the goal of the Yuan Infant Demon Cultivator.

Qingzhen's upcoming imperial examination is to screen disciples for the Sword Tongue Sect.

"Good guy, it's worthy of a demon cultivator."

"Treat Qingzhen as your own back garden to choose disciples."

Li Mo turned around and left the Land Temple after finishing the incense, secretly thinking about countermeasures.
