After hearing this, Gao Anhe, Luo Jincheng and others raised their heads: "I see."
Chen Shilan's eyes were a little red and she asked Lin Xiaodong: "Can she still be saved?"
Lin Xiaodong thought about it. Yu Fengjun and Yinghua both practice water magic to replenish a woman's yin energy, so it shouldn't be a problem.
He said: "Let's catch this man-eating monster first, and then find a way to cure her."
Several people returned to the courtyard again, and Lin Xiaodong said to Lin Tanghua: "Maybe I can cure you."
After hearing this, Lin Tanghua's empty eyes glowed again: "Really?"
Xu Guangming also said excitedly: "Really?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "When we catch this man-eating monster, I will come back to you."
Xu Guangming and Lin Tanghua said happily: "Thank you, sir!"
Gao Anhe said to Lin Tanghua: "Take us to the place where you fainted."
Lin Tanghua and Xu Guangming led everyone to Lanchang Mountain outside the village.
Everyone came to an osmanthus tree. Lin Tanghua pointed to the ground and said, "It's right here. I remember it very clearly. I picked up a mushroom and stood up. As soon as my eyes darkened, I fell asleep."
Lin Xiaodong looked around. This place was vast, sparsely populated, and full of spiritual energy. It really seemed like a place where evildoers could breed.
But when he glanced around, he saw that the place was still clean, without any trace of evil, evil, evil or blood.
Luo Jincheng, Xu Simin and Chen Shilan also looked around and found nothing suspicious.
Lin Xiaodong said: "The monster is definitely not here. You should go back first. I will use my power here to check again."
Gao Anhe led everyone back to the village, while Lin Xiaodong stayed alone under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and sat quietly with his eyes closed.
Back outside Lai'an Village, Dong Yangde led the team back and said to Gao Anhe: "Sir, I just asked someone for questioning in Qudu Village and got some news."
Gao An and Angtou: "What kind of news?"
Dong Yangde said: "There is a man named Tian Chengan in Qudu Village who went crazy a year ago."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Gao Anhe said: "Go and ask Mr. Lin to come back."
Xu Simin returned to the mountain and saw Lin Xiaodong sitting quietly under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, as if asleep.
Xu Simin is less than thirty, slightly older than Lin Xiaodong. Although his personality is dignified and quiet, his cultivation is still shallow and he is not sure yet.
So seeing Lin Xiaodong turning a blind eye to what was going on outside, he couldn't help but be curious, so he crept up to him, knelt down in front of him, and held his chin in his hands to look at him quietly.
Lin Xiaodong knew that Xu Simin was coming. When he saw her sneaking up and staring at him, on a whim, he suddenly stretched out his claws and rushed towards her, scaring her: "Ah!"
Xu Simin was so frightened that her face turned pale, her hair was thrown up, and she staggered to sit on the ground, about to fall back.
Lin Xiaodong hurriedly reached out and grabbed her arm.
Xu Simin came back to her senses, blushed, and hit Lin Xiaodong on the arm: "You scared me to death! I thought I met a monster!"
Lin Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and smiled: "What are you looking at?"
Xu Simin lowered his head and said, "I see you meditating.
You are so young, how can you sit still? When I sit down cross-legged, I feel uncomfortable all over."
Lin Xiaodong said: "My Ding Gong is at the level of a mud-legged person, and I have random thoughts all day long."
Xu Simin asked: "Have you found any clues?"
Lin Xiaodong shook his head: "It's clean here, there's nothing."
Xu Simin said: "Master Gao is calling you. A madman appeared in Qudou Village a year ago. Let's go and see."
Hearing that it happened a year ago, Lin Xiaodong stood up quickly: "Let's go."
When the two returned to the entrance of the village, Xu Simin groaned, threw herself into Chen Shilan's arms, pointed at Lin Xiaodong and said, "He was scaring me! He scared me to death! I thought I was going to be captured by a monster too!"
Chen Shilan pouted at Lin Xiaodong: "Why are you so bad!"
Gao Anhe took people to Qudu Village and called Li Zhengding Zhengye.
Gao Anhe said: "Take us to see Tian Chengan."
Ding Zhengye was puzzled: "Why would these adults find a madman?"
Gao Anhe did not explain and said: "Where are the others?"
Ding Zhengye wondered: "Sir, we don't know where he is either."
Dong Yangde said gloomily: "You are Li Zheng, don't you know?"
Ding Zhengye grinned, tilted his head and said, "Sir, Tian Chengan is crazy. He walks around all day long. I can't always keep an eye on him."
Gao Anhe asked: "Do you know why he went crazy?"
Ding Zhengye said: "How could he be so crazy? He caught too many snakes, so he got retribution."
Gao Anhe, Lin Xiaodong and others' eyes sharpened, they looked at each other and smiled, and finally found some clues.
Gao Anhe asked: "Tian Chengan was catching snakes before he went crazy?"
Ding Zhengye nodded: "Yes, he caught all the snakes in the village. Later, when all the snakes in the village were caught, he went to the village to catch them. If he couldn't catch them during the day, he caught them at night, and then he killed them."
Gao Anhe said to Dong Yangde: "Send someone to find Tian Chengan."
Officers, soldiers, and villagers searched all over the mountains and fields, and finally found him in the Temple of the Four Heavenly Kings in Wennan Mountain in the north of the village.
Lin Xiaodong, Gao Anhe and others rushed over immediately and saw Tian Chengan with disheveled hair, tattered clothes and bare feet. While kowtowing to the statue of the King of Heaven, he was pulling things off his body, scratching his arms and legs until his arms and legs were bloody.
Ding Zhengye pinched his nose and shouted: "Old Tian?
Stop kowtowing, these are the eunuchs who want to ask you a question."
Tian Chengan turned around, trembling all over, his eyes full of fear, turbid and lifeless, and said blankly: "There is a snake! There is a snake!"
Lin Xiaodong squatted down, stared into Tian Chengan's eyes and asked, "What kind of snake?"
Tian Chengan opened his arms and stretched out his hands to measure: "The big snake is as long as two feet. In one bite, it can eat my head!"
Lin Xiaodong asked: "Where did you meet him?"
Tian Chengan pointed to the west: "At Heping Mountain!"
Gao Anhe looked at Dong Yangde, who said: "Heping Mountain is about five miles west of Wenfu Village."
Gao Anhe nodded: "Let's go!"
Everyone arrived at Heping Mountain without stopping.
Lin Xiaodong raised his head and looked at the top of the mountain. It was still clean and without a trace of evil, and there was even a faint golden light.
Luo Jincheng, Xu Simin, and Chen Shilan were also a little disappointed when they saw this: "Not here."
Gao Anhe said: "Let's go up and have a look."
A few people walked up the mountain and saw a Tianwang Temple on the top. Other than that, it was lush and green, without any suspicious traces.
Chen Shilan said anxiously: "Tomorrow is the third day. If we can't catch this beast tonight, I'm afraid someone will die tomorrow night."
As the sun set and the sky grew late, Gao Anhe said: "At least we have made progress and know that it is the snake monster that is causing trouble. As long as it still does evil, it will definitely show its flaws.
It’s getting late, let’s go back.”
Lin Xiaodong glanced behind him, followed unwillingly down the mountain, and returned to the inn.
In the evening, Gao Anhe called everyone to dinner and talked while eating: "Thanks to Daoist Lin, I finally found a clue today."
Lin Xiaodong looked at Xu Simin and Chen Shilan and said, "I have to thank Miss Xu and Miss Chen for this. If they hadn't taken me out shopping, I wouldn't have thought of this."
