Before Han Li entered the village, he saw a moss-covered stone standing on the roadside with three words engraved on it.

"Lakeside Village."

The name is really random. If it's near the lake, it's called Hubian Village. But if it's on the mountainside, should it be called Shanjiao Village?

After Han Li entered, he found that the situation in the village was a little different.

Most of the villagers had very dull expressions on their faces, and only a few looked at Han Li with eyes shining.

"Where did this young man come from? How dare he come into our village."

"That's not what happened. Didn't you see that Li Laosi's family has already given him a shout?"

"Well, there are too many monks and too little rice to eat. How can one person divide the lives between the two families?"

The villagers' comments reached Han Li's ears, causing him to frown.

What kind of village is this, and why is it still keeping an eye on you?

Han Li then opened the Void Child and saw that on the lake on the other side of the village, resentment and evil aura almost covered the entire lake.

Han Li didn't want to ask about the boundary here for the time being. The speed of his feet became faster and he arrived at the lake in the blink of an eye.

This large lake that can be seen with the naked eye has sparkling waves on the surface and looks calm.

The area around the lake is dotted with white soul-calling flags and all kinds of paper money and incense ashes that have not been blown away.

When I think about what the villagers said, is there a monster in this lake that wants to offer a 'life sacrifice'?

At the moment, he used the Child of the Void to look at the bottom of the lake, and saw a huge catfish in the mud at the bottom of the lake with a bloody light. It was estimated that this was the real culprit of Suo Yaoshengji.

If you didn't see it, forget it. Since you saw it, just kill the culprit.

But the water was not his home court, so Han Li could only wait for the catfish to come out by the lake.

I saw a dilapidated thatched house not far from the lake, surrounded by weeds.

Han Li came to the thatched house and found that not only did the house have a big hole on the top of its head, but also one side of the wall began to leak.

It's better when the weather is nice and sunny, but if it's windy or rainy, this thatched house won't be much better than the outside.

Following Han Li's thought, all the dead branches, rotten leaves, dust and mud in the room were thrown out of the room one after another.

A breeze blew by, and the original rotten smell in the room disappeared.

Han Li collected all the dead branches from the surrounding trees into the house, and the bonfire soon started burning.

Just when he was taking out things from the space and putting them on the barbecue, he felt that many people were coming from a distance.

The leader was a white-haired old man, followed by a group of villagers from the village.

Then a slightly older voice sounded outside.

"Excuse me, where did this young master come from and why did he occupy the house in our village?"

"This old man came from Qiantang County. When he passed by your village, he found that the lake was filled with evil spirits."

"So I will stay here for a while, get rid of the monster in the lake, and then leave."

After Han Li came outside to talk to the group of people, the old man at the head quickly saluted Han Li.

"It turns out it's a big city like Qiantang, and it's a young man with magical powers. I'm being polite. I'm the village chief of Hubian Village."

The village chief was so polite that Han Li naturally ignored the hostile looks from the crowd.

"You're welcome, old village chief. It was me who disturbed your village rashly. I hope the old village chief won't take offense."

"Don't be surprised, there are very few outsiders coming to our village."

"It's too late for us to be happy that the young master can pass by our village. How can we be surprised?"

After saying this, the village chief felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that no one dared to pass by his village, which was an extremely shameful thing.

But Han Li could understand his mood, it was the same in every village in that world.

If there are outsiders walking around frequently, it will definitely make the people in the village look good.

On the contrary, if there are no outsiders visiting the village for a long time, it is inevitable that people will comment and think that the village is not good.

The old village chief: "To tell you the truth, a monster suddenly appeared in this lake just two years ago."

"I don't know how many people who were doing the laundry and washing vegetables by the lake were eaten by the water demon while fishing in the lake."

"I found a monster and asked our village to hand over a boy and a girl every six months for him to enjoy, otherwise he would drown us all."

"We also used the whole village to find many experts, but the results were not ideal."

"I thought I had found a reason, which made everyone panic all day, and everyone who had connections outside the village temporarily moved out of the village."

"If the last group of villagers who went to find the master hadn't come back yet, even us old and weak women and children would have to leave here."

"If the young master comes at that time, I'm afraid he will only see an empty village."

Then Han Li asked about some monster methods, and the old village chief also knew everything about them.

After some understanding, the old village chief took all the villagers back.

Han Li looked at their departing figures with a sneer on his lips, and directed his telekinesis in the direction they left.

When the old village chief heard that he wanted to get rid of the demon, he never gave him any advice.

Maybe in his opinion, it would be best if Han Li could kill the monster, and his village would not have to pay a penny.

If they are killed by monsters, the people who die will not be from their own village, and they will have nothing to lose.

After the group of people got far away from the lake, they really started asking the old village chief these questions.

His answer was exactly as Han Li expected, except that he mentioned Han Li's age.

"This half-year-old child is definitely capable of traveling alone in the wild."

"It's the best. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter to us."

Then the group of villagers began to use the best words they could think of to flatter this person. Han Li felt disgusted and withdrew his telekinesis.

After Han Li finished eating, he sat on a tree on the lake.

It's a good night today, and the moon's clear light illuminates the lake.

The moonlight shines on the rippled surface of the lake, as if it has been covered with a layer of sparkling broken silver.

If it weren't for the soul-calling flags floating in the wind by the lake, this would really be a beautiful sight.

As Han Li opened the Void Child, he saw wet figures standing stupidly in the lake.

Among these figures were men and women, old and young, and they should all be villagers from Hubian Village.

"Oh, these are probably the water ghosts that the villagers turned into after death."

These water ghosts are insignificant, and they have never done any evil. It is just that the evil demon is not dead yet, so they cannot go to reincarnate for the time being.

Once someone kills the evil demon, their bondage will be released, and they can then go to the underworld and reincarnate.

At this time, fog suddenly appeared above the lake, and the thick fog covered the entire lake almost instantly.
