Thoughts flying, Zhang Yixian was a little uneasy in his heart, he was afraid that the history of the Ming Dynasty that he knew in his mind would be different from everything he was experiencing now, although he understood that after the first year of Zhizheng, the Central Plains continued to have natural disasters and people were displaced, but it had not yet reached the point of falling apart.

Moreover, under the attention of the gods and Buddhas, can the whole world still walk according to the trajectory he is familiar with?

Many things were lingering in his mind, and unconsciously, he returned to the door where Lao Qintou lived, and seeing that more than half an hour had passed, it was time for Lao Qintou to wake up. Then he took a step and pushed the door open.

In the next moment, the door was just opened from the inside, and Lao Qin's pale and weak face appeared, seeing Zhang Yixian, the city god, standing straight in front of him, regardless of his illness, he immediately knelt down for Zhang Yixian.

"Quick. Hurry up! Old Qintou, what are you doing here? Also, why are you so seriously injured, and it is not human. ”

"What the city god said is that the general night is small, and the people who pretend to be gods and ghosts have no such ability, it is the monster in Qinjia Village, and the old man not only did not catch the demon, but was seriously injured by him, and escaped to this point, so that he was able to save his life, and I hope that the city god will uphold justice for my family and other families. After Lao Qintou finished speaking, there were tears in his eyes, and his body was even more rickety.

In the end, after Zhang Yixian comforted him, he let him recuperate and go to Qinjia Village in person.

After appeasing the old Qin Tou, Zhang Yixian looked back and thought about it carefully, he hadn't been to a place far away for such a long time, and Qinjia Village was only a dozen miles away from here, and it wouldn't take long to go back and forth.

"Old Qintou, I want to ask you something, what is the name of the mountain east of Yingtianfu?" As soon as Zhang Yixian stepped out of the door with his front foot, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his mind, remembering what he had encountered when he passed through that mountain before, so he asked casually.

"Lord Chenghuang doesn't know? That's the famous mountain in Yingtianfu, called Purple Mountain!"

Old Qin Tou didn't know why, but still replied respectfully.

However, unlike Old Qintou's doubts, when he heard that the mountain was the Purple Mountain. Zhang Yixian's body was obviously shocked, and then he remembered in his mind that Zhu Yuanzhang swept Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng in Dingdu Yingtianfu (Jinling), and after Zhang Shicheng ascended the throne, set up a sacrifice to the Purple Mountain, and announced the heavenly court, mountains, rivers, and even more Kaiyuan Hongwu, which is the land of Longxing, and as a place to worship heaven and earth, the Purple Mountain must have its special features, and the unfathomable ability of the old woman alone made Zhang Yixian stop.

"Lord Chenghuang, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Zhang Yixian listened to his answer, the whole person stood stunned on the ground, motionless, Old Qin Tou couldn't help but be a little worried, and asked.

"It's not much, I'm going to Qinjia Village for a run, and you can recuperate here." ”

Zhang Yixian stepped on the fairy sword and rushed to the direction of Qinjia Village, and the sound of wind and clouds roaring along the way continued, and the entire earth was shrouded in a looming black smoke.

"There will be demons in chaos. For no reason, Zhang Yixian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After a while, he had already arrived at the top of Qinjia Village, collected the fairy sword under his feet and held it in his hand, and descended into the empty courtyard of the old Qin Tou's house.

"There are no valuable clues here, it seems that this demon is very clever and tricky. Zhang Yixian had a headache, pinched the fairy sword and went out, followed the residual breath in the air all the way, turned around, and after a long time, Zhang Yixian realized that he had turned the entire Qinjia Village all over the place, and in fact, he had been going around in circles just now.

Feeling that he was being teased, Zhang Yixian was a little angry in his heart, and then when he calmed down, he found a detail, the closer to the center of the village, the lighter the breath, and the more around the village near the mountains, forests and fields, the breath was even heavier for a while, and disappeared for a while.

He guessed that the things that came to the village to make trouble were also afraid that the great monk would come to investigate, so he did something here.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yixian was not in a hurry, put away the fairy sword in his hand, and walked according to what the old Qin Tou said, the Qin Gray Tiger family who had been attacked by demons.

Qin Gray Tiger was not far from the old Qin Tou's house, only a few dozen meters away, Zhang Yixian came to the door, directly entered through the wall, and found that the courtyard here also revealed a demonic aura, followed the eyes to look down, and found that the source of that breath was lying on a corpse in the courtyard of Qin Gray Tiger's house.

Zhang Yixian hurriedly stepped forward, stood in front of the corpse, took out the "life and death book" in his hand and found that it was Qin Gray Tiger lying here, and it was recorded that he was only twenty-seven or eight this year, just in the prime of life, he should have lived to be fifty years old, and died of illness, but at this moment he died, and there was a woman next to him with two children who were screaming and waiting to be fed hissing in pain.

Zhang Yixian found that the face of the Qin Gray Tiger was gray, the mouth was slightly open, the roots of the ears were drooping back, and the temples on both sides were slightly concave inward.

"This is caused by the soul of being sucked alive, what kind of demon is it, actually using this evil method to take people's souls. Zhang Yixian thought in his heart, according to the records in the golden seal, generally such a direct take of the soul of the demon, most of them are used to devour the soul and improve their cultivation, which is effective in a short period of time, but the side effects are also very obvious, this method is against the harmony of heaven, devouring the soul of the living can improve the cultivation in a short period of time, but the possibility of further progress in the future is relatively small, and it is easy to be detected by the righteous people in the world, and the heavenly court does not allow such things to disturb the yin and yang of the world.

Zhang Yixian guessed in his heart, what kind of monster was this, just when he was thinking in his heart, he also noticed that there were some chicken feathers in front of the cage where the chickens and birds were originally kept in the courtyard of Qin Gray Tiger's house, and then he saw a yellow hair in the nail gap of Qin Gray Tiger's corpse, and he had roughly understood in his heart.

Out of Qinjia Village, Zhang Yixian's figure went straight to the mountains and forests behind him, the forests here are not only dense and thick, even experienced hunters do not dare to set foot at will, not to mention the inaccessibility, it is more suitable for these demons and evil cults to hide.

Zhang Yixian judged in his heart that this may have been done by a fox who has been in the transformation period, and he drew his soul and devoured it, mostly to improve his cultivation, so that he could transform into a human form in one fell swoop.

And after devouring the human soul, few monsters can resist this temptation, rather than keeping, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible, so as not to bring disaster to the world.

"Bang bang. ”

"Bang. As soon as Zhang Yixian's footsteps stepped into the dense mountain forest, the breath he released startled some creatures to flee in all directions.
