Rebirth of the Totem Pole, I became a taboo

Chapter 24: The Night of Liuzhai, the Divine Mirror
into the night.

Liuzhai, in a candlelit room.

"Boss, why are the people in Liuzhai a little different from the warm and hospitable people described by the Traveling Merchants Association? Why do I feel a little... numb?"

Qi Xingjun's deputy Yao Chengjin spoke in a low voice.

"Well, after scouting the village, did you find anything?"

Qi Xingjun carefully wiped his evil-suppressing knife and asked without turning his head.

"We did find some things. It seems that Liuzhai had experienced a battle, and some courtyards were damaged. What's strange is that the people in Liuzhai did not repair the damaged areas."

Yao Chengjin said with a frown.

Qi Xingjun put away his knife and looked at Yao Chengjin.

"These villages in the Shiwan Mountains are not like our Daxia villages. The law of the jungle is the rule they believe in. In a few years, this Liuzhai may no longer exist."

Yao Chengjin nodded.

"That's right. The village chief who received us today only looked like he was at the Bone Refining Stage. He couldn't even meet the entry standard of our Evil Suppression Division. The only reason he could survive in these Hundred Thousand Mountains was because of the Willow God they talked about, right?"

Yao Chengjin's words were full of disdain.

Qi Xingjun shook his head.

"Don't underestimate these gods in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Moreover, we are still under their protection. Do you believe that as long as you take action, the village chief will be able to burst out with the strength of the Transcendent Realm?"

"It's not something he cultivated himself, it's something external after all. Could it be that he will never leave this village in this lifetime?"

Yao Chengjin did not recognize the strength of the leader of Liu Village.

Seeing this, Qi Xingjun stopped talking about this topic.

"Have you figured out the location of Willow God?"

"Yes, it's at the back of the village. I wanted to go take a look today, but was stopped by the village chief."

Qi Xingjun nodded.

"We will take action later in the night. If God Liu has no problem, we will talk to the leader of Liu Village tomorrow."

"it is good!"

The two didn't speak again after that, and Yao Chengjin did not leave Qi Xingjun's room.

Midday on the moon.

Liuzhai was as quiet as a deserted village.

Suddenly, two figures jumped out silently from a house somewhere and sneaked towards the rear of the village.

Not long after the two men left, doors opened one after another in Liuzhai, and figures quietly gathered around the rooms where the people from the Evil Suppression Bureau were staying.

……

"Is this Willow God?"

Yao Chengjin looked at the willow tree not far away with hundreds of clay sculptures hanging on its branches, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Are all the willow trees in the Shiwan Mountains like this?"

Yao Chengjin's words made Qi Xingjun frown.

Anyone who sees this willow tree will not think it is a normal willow tree.

But it is normal for the wonders in the Ten Thousand Mountains to be a little strange.

"It doesn't matter."

After Qi Xingjun finished speaking, he took out a palm-sized bronze mirror from his arms.

This is something that the Evil Suppression Division prepares for all the messengers who enter the mountain, and it is called the God-Jiang Mirror.

It can identify whether the monster in the mountain is surrounded by human blood evil.

If so, blood will appear on the divine mirror.

A line of blood represents a life.

Although the divine mirror in Qi Xingjun's hand can only trace back the blood evil formed in the past year, it is enough.

If it weren't for the lawful gods in the mountains, he would have been contaminated by the blood of the human race within a year.

Looking at the intricate patterns around the Divine Mirror, Qi Xingjun's mind turned, and the energy and blood in his body surged towards the mirror.

In the blink of an eye, the patterns around the divine mirror lit up one by one, emitting a faint red glow in the night.

When the pattern was fully lit up, Qi Xingjun took out a transparent stone and placed it into the groove at the bottom of the handle of the Divine Mirror.

There was a slight clicking sound.

The stone fits into the groove.

The red glow around the mirror disappeared, replaced by a faint fluorescent light. Looking at the ready-made divine mirror in his hand, Qi Xingjun pointed it at the Willow God in the distance, silently reciting the formula.

As the last word "Jian" fell, the fluorescent light on the Jianshen Mirror floated towards the God of Willow and disappeared into the void halfway.

After a few breaths, the fluorescence returned and there was a reaction on the Divine Mirror.

"Ok?"

Qi Xingjun frowned because a streak of blood had appeared on the divine mirror.

If this is the case, then it means that this Willow God is not completely lawful.

However, if it is just a wisp, then it is easy to deal with.

Just turn a blind eye and let it go.

Just as Qi Xingjun was thinking this, the divine mirror suddenly reflected his face and the face of Yao Chengjin who was approaching him, in blood red!
There was no longer any trace of blood on the mirror.

At first glance, it's all blood!
"This... this Willow God is an evil god! How many people has he killed? The blood has already connected into one piece!"

Yao Chengjin, who was standing by, was also seeing this situation for the first time.

They went all the way from Daxia deep into the Shiwan Mountains, where they stayed in dozens of villages. They used humans as sacrifices, and some killed humans, but the largest number of lives lost was less than a hundred.

But now, the entire mirror is filled with blood, which may mean no less than thousands of lives!

"Retreat! Record this place in the book, send it back, and ask the Silver Order to suppress evil envoys or higher-level ones to come!"

Qi Xingjun put away the divine mirror, turned around and retreated quietly with Yao Chengjin.

On the way, Yao Chengjin couldn't help but say:

"Boss, now that we know that this Willow God is an evil god, do we still need to live here?"

"We have to stay here. The Copper Order can only protect us for two hours in the Strange Night. Without the Copper Order, we will be exposed to the Strange Night and in even greater danger!"

Qi Xingjun's face looked serious.

"As long as the people in the village don't attack us, we will stay put and leave early tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!"

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had arrived at the courtyard where they had stayed before.

"Go and tell them to all get up and keep watch today. There will be no rotation."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Yao Chengjin turned around and walked towards the rooms of his teammates.

But when he got closer, Yao Chengjin frowned.

Qi Xingjun had a rule that no matter which village they stayed in, someone had to keep watch at night and remain vigilant.

But when he was almost at the door, there was no movement in the house.

Thinking of the blood on the divine mirror just now, Yao Chengjin slowly drew out his evil-suppressing knife.

After approaching the door with a knife, Yao Chengjin stretched out his left hand holding the scabbard and pushed the door.

There is resistance!
A blood-red mist appeared on his left hand and seeped into the door.

Click~
The bolt was opened.

When he pushed the door again, Yao Chengjin's face was even more confused.

"There's still resistance? Multiple bolts?"

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard the sound of strong wind whistling behind him.

Before he could react, he was taken away by the collar.

After seeing Qi Xingjun from the side, Yao Chengjin was about to speak when he heard a series of clicking sounds.

Turn around.

The door of the room that he had previously opened with the bolt using the power of qi and blood was now bulging outwards.

It seemed as if something inside was pushing out.

The sound just made was the sound made by the wooden door unable to withstand the pressure.

Click, click.

There are more and more cracks on the wooden door.

With a loud bang, the wooden door exploded and flew everywhere, but the thing that was squeezing the wooden door finally came out.

After seeing clearly what was rushing out and covering the ground, Yao Chengjin's face changed.

The things that squeezed out of the room were none other than the ones they had seen during the day... people from Liu Village!
