"What the hell!" The mountain god was surprised and stabbed his own shadow with his sword.
Just as he led Aunt Qing down the cliff, Yu Sheng, who was running on the golden roof of the temple, saw the mountain god piercing the shadow with his sword.
The shadow was safe and sound, still twisting and struggling until it reached the head of the mountain god's shadow.
A black thing seemed to want to enter the mouth and nose of the mountain god's shadow.
Seeing this, the mountain god hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, letting the shadow do the same, and at the same time stabbed the mass with his sword.
The thing shrank back into the shadow of the mountain god and disappeared. The mountain god poked it left and right, but it never came out again.
"Sir, sir." The mountain man at his feet still had a breath in his throat, and looked at the mountain god with a bloody look.
"What happened in the village?" The mountain god knelt down and asked him.
"Xu, many villagers were, were killed by the shadow, it, it followed me, we came out of the cave, out, out..."
In the end, the mountain people still didn't say what was behind the word "out", which made the mountain god full of doubts.
Just as he was about to stand up, "Be careful!" Yu Sheng reminded him.
Seeing something on the shadow go into the mouth and nose of the mountain god's shadow, Yu Sheng grabbed the mountain god's body and teleported to the side in an instant.
Yu Sheng's movement skills were inherited from King Donghuang. He didn't know why. It was different from ordinary light skills. Maybe it was too fast and couldn't leave a shadow anyway.
After the mountain god was removed, the shadow did not disappear instantly, but twisted and struggled for a long time, and then turned into a ball of white air and disappeared.
At the same time, a grimace emerged in the white air, like the soul of a fallen mountaineer, but it was somewhat transparent and broken, making it unclear for the rest of my life.
At this time, the system reminds him that there are merit points recorded in his account.
"What is this?" Yu Sheng said, ignoring the system. Everything in front of him was too weird.
The only good thing is that Yu Sheng's body skills are the natural enemies of these shadows, so he won't be at a loss when encountering them.
Aunt Qing came down at this time and said, "The shadow also has a spiritual fetus. It is called a soul slave. It is closely related to the master's soul, life and death."
These are the reasons why the insect hurts people by making insinuations, and the shadow-stepping Gu hurts people by stepping on its shadow. In addition, there are also witches in some places who use shadows to heal patients.
In Aunt Qing's opinion, this is a monster using the shadow of a person to control the person's soul to harm the deity.
This is also the reason why the thing insists on getting into the shadow's mouth and nose, and why the shadow cuts itself, but the shadow owner is injured.
This made Yu Sheng feel that maybe the mountain people had two breaths, but one was missing after being stabbed by the mountain god's flying sword.
"What is controlling the shadow?" Yu Sheng asked as he recovered his thoughts.
Now it seems that this thing is not a monster, and I will have to wait for the rest of my life to know what it tastes like.
Aunt Qing shook her head, "At least one thing we know is that this thing will disappear as soon as it sees the sun."
This reminded Yu Sheng of ghosts, but his eyes were still missing, and it was not until the shadows turned into smoke that he saw the remaining souls of the mountain people.
"How's it going?" The three-legged bird came over with a backpack on his back. When he saw the body lying on the side with the same shadow as before, he thought the monster had escaped.
"Let's go into the village and have a look." Yu Sheng suggested. The mountain god nodded and led them quickly towards the village at the foot of the mountain.
Everyone was a master who could fly, and soon they came to the sky above the village. The luck in their hearts disappeared, and the village was in a miserable state.
There was a woman who was frantically slashing at her daughter's shadow with a kitchen knife. Once the knife went down, there was a wound on the child's body.
The child cried bitterly, and the woman also cried bitterly, letting the wound on her head cut by her own shadow bleed.
Yu Sheng's body lost the power of flying and fell down as fast as possible. In an instant, he moved in front of him to pick up the woman and child, and in an instant he jumped onto the roof.
The knife in the woman's hand was slashed with inertia. Yu Sheng kicked her and struck a hen that was fluttering its wings and about to fly up to the house.
The hen was pinned to the ground and could not move. The twisted shadow struggled but did not dare to leave because there were no other shadows around.
The woman looked at Yu Sheng blankly, but Yu Sheng ignored her because a systematic voice sounded in his mind, reminding Yu Sheng to get two hundred merit points.
Yu Sheng went to catch another little boy. Just as he stood firm, he suddenly saw a group of shadows under the wall entering his shadow through the overlapping shadows.
Yu Sheng stopped and watched as a black mass twisted and prepared to enter his shadow's mouth and nose, but as soon as he tried it, it turned into a ball of white smoke.
At the same time, the system sounded a reminder in Yu Sheng's ears to obtain fifty merit points.
I was happy for the rest of my life. After teleporting the little boy away, I walked into the village unscrupulously, letting the shadows hidden under the wall and the shade of the trees penetrate into it.
I received a steady stream of merit points, and the system kept reminding me. Finally, I got tired of it and started a strike. "Just take a look at it for the last time."
Yu Sheng did not care about it and continued to save people in the village. However, these shadows soon realized that Yu Sheng could not be offended, and they would never fall into his shadow again.
I was a little disappointed for the rest of my life, but I still concentrated on rescuing people in the village. I quickly rescued three or four young men and two old people, and received 500 merit points.
Yu Sheng placed them on a roof that was isolated from the sun. Just as he was about to search deeper, he suddenly heard the scream of a three-legged bird.
Looking back, I saw the woods outside Zhuangzi, the shadows on the walls were all distorted, the three-legged bird, Aunt Qing and the mountain god were also affected.
As a sword fairy and a mountain god, Shadow couldn't do anything to them for a while, but they couldn't do anything to Shadow either.
I cared about my little aunt for the rest of my life, so I turned back and quickly came to my little aunt, taking her away from the woods.
Then the three-legged bird and the mountain god were rescued.
After seeing that everyone was temporarily safe on the roof, Yu Sheng boldly searched deeper into the village and soon returned with the dying woman.
Seeing Yu Sheng's face turned pale, Aunt Qing supported him and said, "What's wrong? Take a rest quickly."
Yu Sheng waved his hand. He was not tired from saving these people. He was made a little uncomfortable and vomited by the tragic situation in the village.
The town was littered with broken arms, bloody corpses, and dead heads, not even chickens or dogs left alive, and the blood flowed like a river.
"Only, this is the only one left." Yu Sheng helped his aunt stand upright and pointed at the dying woman.
At this time, the mountain god was surrounded by the surviving people, kneeling and worshiping, crying and begging, "Sir, please save my son", "Save my man".
Faced with this, the mountain god is powerless. The cycle of life and death is governed by heaven and is beyond his power.
Even if he had a mirror with him for the rest of his life, the mountain god would not have such an idea. This is against the law of heaven.
"What's going on?" The mountain god looked at the kneeling people and asked.
"It's all the cave's fault." An old man pointed angrily at the top of the mountain to the west.
It turns out that there is a cave on the high mountain to the west of the village. The cave is very big and goes all the way down and then to the west. No one in the village has ever reached the end.
In other words, no one who has been to the end has come back.
Regarding the cave, there are two legends circulated in the village.
There is a legend that the depths of the cave lead to a very tall palace, which contains treasures left by the gods.
Another legend says that there are monsters deep in the cave.
However, because the legend has been around for a long time, the young people in the village only remember the treasure and forget about the monster.
When Taotie passed through the border a few months ago, the whole village hid in a cave and stayed there for three days and three nights.
Some young people stayed in the cave for half a day and felt bored. Three brave ones went deeper into the cave together.
"We were gone for three days, and finally only Mu Zha came back, and his brothers Jin Zha and..."
The name sounded familiar, Yu Sheng was excited and interrupted the old man, "Wait a minute, the other one won't be called Nezha, right?"
King Donghuang is revered as the King of Ten Thousand Dragons among the dragon clan. As the son of the Dragon King of the Four Seas, he was very concerned about this issue for the rest of his life.
