The man was stunned on the spot, his face was ashen and his eyes were filled with tears.
After pausing in place for a long time, he took wooden steps and moved with difficulty in the direction where the cry came from.
For a moment, he actually resented the immortal master in his heart.
If the Immortal Master was willing to take action, why would this happen...
But soon, the man put away his disrespect for the immortal master.
He smiled miserably. The immortal master had never agreed to his prayer, so who had the right to complain.
When he returned to the yard, he was filled with grief and grief, which made his heart feel like a knife.
Seeing his wife crying so heartbroken, the man cheered up and comforted his wife.
My daughter was not old enough to even have a thin coffin, so she just swept it with straw and moved it to the back of the mountain to dig a hole and bury it.
Before burying her, the man wanted to untie the straw mat and take one last look at his daughter.
But his wife stopped him with tears in her eyes, "Stop looking, Nannan doesn't want people to see her like that."
He felt a pain in his heart, and finally said nothing, silently covering the loess on the straw mat.
On the way back, the woman saw his distracted look and opened her mouth to tell him the truth.
But thinking of the immortal master's advice, he still endured it. In a few days, he would discover the truth. He only hoped that the evil cultivator would be caught by the immortal master as soon as possible.
The person who took the place of the little girl and was wrapped in a straw mat and buried in the ground was naturally Xu Chunniang.
In order not to alert the evil cultivators and catch them, she had no choice but to take this step and take her own life.
After the man and woman left, she used spiritual energy to dig a small hole next to it for the breath to circulate.
Although as a monk, you can hold your breath for a long time, but now you don't know when the evil cultivator will come, so there is no need to hold your breath forever.
In the atrium above the moon, a thin man took advantage of the moonlight to touch the mountain behind.
After arriving at the location of the hillock, he began to dig the soil. After a while, a corner of the straw mat that was not buried deeply was revealed.
The man was overjoyed, and dug the soil even more lightly, fearing that if he accidentally injured the corpse, even if he refined the Inferi, there would still be defects.
He took out the straw mat, covered the hole for a while, then directly held the straw mat against his body and walked quickly in one direction.
It wasn't until it was almost dawn and he entered a Taoist temple in a deserted mountain that he put down the straw mat he had been carrying.
Someone in the Taoist temple saw him and exclaimed, "Xiaohai is back!"
Others heard the sound and looked around, just in time to see Xiao Hai putting the straw mat on the ground, and couldn't help but look unhappy.
The more outstanding the newcomer Xiao Hai is, the more incompetent the old people like them appear.
One person spoke in a sour tone, with a strange look, "Okay, Xiao Hai. I just joined the alliance in just over a month, and I found good materials for you to refine the Infernal Corpse. I'm afraid it won't be long before all of us will be outclassed by you."
Already."
It's hard for evil cultivators to get along these days, and it's getting harder and harder to make some achievements to satisfy the adults.
Xiao Hai is not stupid. Hearing this, his face was immediately filled with smiles, "I am just lucky this time. How dare I compete with some big brothers?"
After hearing this, several people felt a lot more relieved. This Xiaohai was indeed a very discerning person.
A bald man stood up with a smile and patted Xiao Hai's arm, "Since you call me big brother, I wonder if you can tell me where you planted these yin seeds. Let the big brother get a few of them too, and I will force you to do so."
Show your face."
"Brother Xiong, this..."
Xiaohai looked troubled. Although there were no immortal cultivators in Yang County, a large number of people died mysteriously in a short period of time, which would most likely trigger an investigation by the government and lead to the intervention of the immortal cultivators.
He also wanted to monopolize this area of Yang County, so naturally he didn't want to reveal the location.
Seeing Xiao Hai hesitate, the bald man Brother Xiong's face suddenly darkened and his eyes were sinister.
"Why, you don't want to say it? Do you want to take advantage of all the benefits?"
Xiaohai couldn't help but tremble when he saw that look.
Although he started late, he had heard about this man's deeds. He heard that some people were dissatisfied and some were frightened to death by his methods.
Xiaohai shook his head hurriedly, "There are so many people here, I'm afraid others will hear me."
Brother Xiong was then satisfied and said, "Very good, you come out with me. Tell me alone where you planted the yin seed."
Seeing Xiao Hai leaving with Brother Xiong, the others suddenly showed excitement.
"Hehe, I bet Xiaohai will be gone once he leaves."
"Xiao Hai is still too young. Even if he has some thoughts, he can't compare with Brother Xiong."
"If you want to blame it, just blame Xiaohai for wanting to eat alone. He found a good place and hid it and refused to tell anyone, haha."
Just when they were chatting animatedly, a thin figure walked into the Taoist temple.
Seeing the person in front of them, several people were shocked. They never expected that Xiaohai would survive in Brother Xiong's hands.
Xiao Hai is back, but Brother Xiong is nowhere to be found.
Several people quickly exchanged glances. Since Brother Xiong failed to come back, he probably died in Xiao Hai's hands.
As if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, they no longer mentioned Brother Xiong, but instead smiled at Xiao Hai.
"Xiaohai has been busy all night, come here to take a break? The adults will be here soon."
"This time Xiao Hai has made a contribution and has the opportunity to show his face in front of the adults. I think it won't take long for him to be reused by the adults."
Xiaohai smiled, still looking kind as before, but no one looked down on him anymore.
Two hours later, the man everyone was waiting for finally arrived.
"Meet the adults!"
Several people looked excited and quickly stood up to salute.
This adult has a mask on his face, looks like a male cultivator, and has a hoarse voice.
"Hey, did you get anything good this time?"
They quickly took these evil and filthy things that had been refined over time from behind the Taoist temple.
Xiao Hai also brought the straw mat and placed it among the many evil things.
The adult glanced at these items with an unsatisfied look on his face.
He spoke in a sinister voice, "Blood beads, iron corpses, soul-eating nails... it took you so many days to refine these rubbish things. Are you fooling me?"
Several people's expressions changed slightly. If this person got angry, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Sir, please calm down. It's true that our cultivation level is low. We are only at the second or third level of qi training, and we are limited in doing things."
"I was afraid that my whereabouts would be exposed, so I had to act cautiously. That's why I couldn't get anything good to repay you."
"Sir, Xiaohai has made an Infernal Corpse this time. You might as well open it and take a look."
"Oh? You actually made an Inferi?"
The adult's expression softened slightly, and he glanced at Xiao Hai with approval in his eyes.
"Xiaohai, right? I remember you. It has only been a month since I joined, but you have achieved such results. You should be rewarded!"
As the adult finished speaking, a small porcelain bottle was thrown into Xiao Hai's hands.
Xiao Hai caught the porcelain bottle, opened it with a happy face, and poured out a scarlet red pill with a strong bloody smell.
Without hesitation, he swallowed the elixir in one gulp and meditated to absorb it.
Everyone looked at Xiaohai with jealousy, but in front of adults, no one dared to make a mistake.
But I made up my mind that when the adults left, I would have to let Xiao Hai spit out the Feng Shui treasure.
After the adult threw the elixir to Xiao Hai, he looked at the straw mat under him with a look of satisfaction.
