The person who took action was an old Taoist priest in shabby clothing.
The old Taoist priest killed hundreds of corpse soldiers and fought with the headless general for a full day and night.
He happened to pass by Peach Blossom Village and saw that the place was haunted by ghosts and filled with blood. He knew that a big disaster had happened here, so he took action boldly when he saw injustice.
After a day and night of bloody fighting, the old Taoist priest exhausted his magic power, but the headless ghost general became more and more fierce as he fought.
The old Taoist priest knew that he was unable to kill the ghost, so he sighed and used his secret method, determined to die together with the monster.
He spent his whole life cultivating, burning essence and blood, cut off his own head, and placed it on the neck of the headless ghost general.
He used his own life to seal and suppress this evil monster.
When the disaster was over, the reinforcements from the three major sects arrived.
When they saw that the ghost spirit dissipated, they turned around and left without taking another look.
The old Taoist priest just happened to pass by, but he saw injustice on the road and risked his life to eliminate evil.
The people of Hehua Village were grateful for the old man's kindness and buried his body properly.
During the burial, the remnant soul of the old Taoist priest suddenly appeared.
He told the villagers not to dispose of the headless general's body carelessly, but to bury it properly in a geomantic treasure land.
At the same time, every ninth day of June, the general’s birthday, one must go there to pay homage.
When worshiping, one should recite the sacrificial inscription to tell the headless general that his Dali dynasty has been destroyed, and that the new dynasty will be prosperous and the country and the people will be safe. He can no longer bring harm to the common people based on his own grievances.
This zombie monster has a lot of resentment, and it will take a long time to eliminate the resentment, let him let go of his obsession, and be reborn in the netherworld.
The villagers remembered the words of the old Taoist priest and have been worshiping the headless ghost general in accordance with his instructions for the past sixty years.
Seeing that a period of time has passed, the last year of worship has been completed, and the headless general will soon rest in peace.
But on the day the festival ended.
Suddenly, a city man came to inquire about the treasure armor on the headless ghost general.
This time, it has aroused the greed of many people.
They felt that the headless general's soul had rested in peace, and it would be fine if they moved the body now.
Several people sneaked into the forbidden tomb that night and dug up the body of the headless general.
Everyone has heard the legend of the Headless General since childhood and knows that the fire dragon's red gold armor cannot be peeled off.
So I made another plan, and wanted to package the corpse and armor together and sell them on the black market.
However, when they had just lifted the body, the head of the old Taoist priest that had been placed on his neck to suppress his resentment suddenly opened its eyes.
Everyone heard the old Taoist priest sigh, and the head that was firmly attached to his neck fell off.
At the same time, there was a strong wind and ghostly aura all around. The lying corpse stood up again, carrying an even more terrifying and fierce resentment, and shrill ghostly roars could be heard from all around.
This scene scared everyone!
The reawakened headless general's magic power is not as good as before, but his resentment is stronger than before!
Those greedy people were directly torn to pieces by him.
Then the monster started causing trouble in the village again.
In just a few days, many villagers were poisoned and died miserably, with their bodies and heads separated.
Hearing this, the little Taoist priest was very angry: "Why don't these people know how to learn lessons?"
Then he shook his head bitterly: "Poor that old man! He sacrificed his life to eliminate evil, and all his hard work was in vain!"
Those who took action back then drew their swords to help when they saw injustice.
When the little Taoist priest heard the legend of this senior's heroic appearance, he was filled with admiration and admiration.
I was really angry when I saw that the important task of eradicating evil that the other party wanted to accomplish at the risk of his own life was ruined by a group of greedy people.
"Alian, tell me, why are these people so stupid? Why are they so greedy? Isn't it good to live? What's the use of piles of gold and silver? Isn't it just enough? Do you have to go after the headless general?
"
The little girl's name is A-Lian. She grew up in the Guanyin Temple. The master took her in but did not give her a Buddhist name.
"Master said that the world's three poisons are greed, anger and ignorance, and greed is the first of the three poisons."
Alian shook her little head, "A greedy mind will make people lose their minds. When greed comes together, there will be no smart people."
"The only lesson that people can learn is that they can't learn any lessons." Fang Li said calmly.
The young Taoist priest Ling Xiaoyi nodded.
"I think the people from the Demon-Conquering Division may not be able to defeat the headless ghost general who is making a comeback!"
"When I first entered the village, I saw a lot of corpses being carried out. The Demon-Conquering Division suffered a lot of casualties. I'm afraid the tragedy of the year will happen again!"
Ling Xiaoyi stood up: "I feel like there is an invisible hand pushing me into this lotus village. It seems that the senior master I have never met appears and asks me to eliminate these monsters!"
Alian glanced at him, a little disbelieving: "It's just you?"
Ling Xiaoyi looked solemn: "I am a descendant of the Demon-Suppressing Sect's Shenjian Peak lineage. It's enough for me."
At this moment, Fang Li also received the task prompt of "Kill the Headless General".
"Count me in." Fang Li stood up gently.
"Brother Fang, that headless general is very ferocious. If his cultivation is not at the level of foundation building, he may not be able to save his life against that monster."
Ling Xiaoyi's advice was very serious.
Fang Li stood up for justice, which made him admire and admire him, but he had to act within his ability in everything.
"Young Taoist priest, you haven't reached the completion of foundation building yet, have you?" Fang Li asked with a smile.
He could see that the little Taoist priest was only level 60.
Generally speaking, NPCs of this level are basically in the realm of basic foundation building, and their cultivation level is not too high.
"Since I am a descendant of the Demon-Suppressing Sect, I naturally have ways to deal with ghosts. Conquering demons and eliminating them is my specialty." Ling Xiaoyi's eyes were bright and he was quite confident.
"Then how do you know that there is nothing I can do?"
Fang Li smiled slightly, and the blood corpse puppet behind him walked slowly, exuding a strange and ferocious aura.
"This brother...is he an evil cultivator?" Ling Xiaoyi stared at the bloody corpse puppet with only one pair of eyes exposed.
"He is my personal guard and can deal with the headless general for me."
"Why, you think he is an evil cultivator. Do you plan to exorcise my guards first?"
Originally, Fang Li had no intention of forming a partnership.
But the mission required him and Ling Xiaoyi to go into battle, so it was just a matter of cooperation.
"Brother Fang, what are you talking about? Even if he is an evil cultivator, as long as he does not do evil things, he is not evil. He is just your personal guard, not a man-eating monster. Why should I attack him?"
He looked up and down at the blood corpse puppet: "Your personal guard seems to have practiced some advanced body refining techniques, tempering himself with the essence of monster flesh and blood."
"Friend, I would like to advise you that you'd better not practice this body-refining technique in depth, otherwise the demonic energy will enter your body and turn into a monster that is neither human nor demonic. Sooner or later, you will be controlled by murderous thoughts and evil thoughts, and you will never recover."
However, the blood corpse puppet is just a puppet, how can one understand Ling Xiaoyi's words.
"Your eyesight is very good." Fang Li smiled half-heartedly.
"When we deal with the headless general, you should hide nearby and don't let the monster find out." Ling Xiaoyi kindly reminded Fang Li.
Fang Li smiled and said nothing.
Later, the two stayed in the small temple guest room.
At midnight.
Ling Xiaoyi, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, suddenly trembled slightly.
"The ghost energy around us is extremely strong, and a powerful ghost is about to appear. It must be the headless general who is causing trouble!"
Fang Li also opened his eyes and felt it too.
The spooky atmosphere around Hehua Village has reached an unprecedented intensity, and evil spirits are coming!
