Being the young master of the dead demon world has a tendency to be masochistic

Xiao Yunyi stared at the silent ghosts, their pupils turned white and they lost consciousness.With a flash of inspiration, Xiao Yunyi changed the question and said, "Does this person have any enmity with you?"

"The ceremony... made us... very painful." The ghost regained consciousness instantly, and they looked at Xiao Yunyi with extremely sad eyes, as if they were confiding to him.

It can be seen that the two ghosts in front of me, or all the ghosts in this village have been sealed by magic, so they will be in a state of chaos.But the amazing thing is that this sealing technique only blocks the ghosts' memory of the caster, while the memory of the ghost itself is still well preserved.

The group of ghosts didn't want to leave the village, but they were imprisoned here by the spell caster's sealing array.The practitioners passing by noticed the ghostly aura here, so they practiced spells for the villagers to get rid of evil spirits. The practitioners' spells turned into sharp weapons, which were also the main source of burns on the ghosts.

According to the villagers, they often resorted to tricks. After a long time, these innocent ghosts couldn't bear the pain of the fireworks, so they had no choice but to attach themselves to the villagers' bodies, trying to transfer the pain from their bodies to the villagers.

By analogy, the person who sealed the ghost deliberately sealed a certain memory of the ghost, and deliberately imprisoned them here.

What is the intention of this person?He would rather expend his own cultivation to gather ghost energy, and why?

Xiao Yunyi helped the pale boy to lie back on the bed.He turned his head and said to the anxious middle-aged woman beside him, "If you want to save your son's life, then don't perform any rituals."

Perhaps because of the influence of the long-standing ritual tradition, the middle-aged woman seemed a little embarrassed, and said with difficulty: "This...this, this immortal, why don't I try to reduce the ritual rituals as much as possible, do you think it will be possible?"

Hearing this, a wave of anger ignited in Xiao Yunyi's heart, he couldn't believe that the ignorant woman in front of him would actually negotiate terms with him, it was like betting the life of his own son.

Xiao Yunyi didn't respond directly to her, but said to the surrounding villagers watching outside the house: "If you want your home to be safe and sound, stop doing things, stop asking the Taoist priest, and put away all the magical instruments and talismans at home."

Xiao Yunyi glanced at the middle-aged woman from the corner of his eye, and said coldly: "Otherwise, you will be at your own risk." After speaking, he turned and left the middle-aged woman's residence.

Seeing his serious face, everyone didn't dare to ask more questions, they all nodded their heads, and after watching the excitement, they all went back to their respective rooms.

Xiao Yunyi and others are life-saving straws for the villagers.The villagers kindly prepared several wooden houses for them so that they could stay here.

On the way back to the wooden house, Xiao Yunyi and others passed a temple, he stopped in his tracks, and took a look.

Ji Cheng walked towards Xiao Yunyi, looked in the same direction, and asked curiously: "This temple doesn't look like anything special, why did brother Xiao Yao stop?"

Xiao Yunyi said leisurely: "I have to ask the villagers here."

Xiao Yunyi broke away from the crowd and walked into the temple alone.There is a statue enshrined in the temple, the candles in the temple are burning steadily, the incense burner is filled with burnt incense, the offerings on the god table are also freshly placed there, and the tea seems to be replaced by believers every day. , it seems that the incense in this temple is very strong.

It was dusk at this time, and there were very few believers who came to worship. Xiao Yunyi walked up to the statue, looked up at the wooden and clay statue for a long time, and then scanned the layout of the whole temple. He narrowed his eyes slightly and found the clue.

Suddenly, he felt a person standing not far behind him, he closed his eyes, turned around and found that the person was Bai Xiyuan.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Yunyi asked in surprise, he thought that all the immortal disciples and casual cultivators would go back to their rooms to rest.

Bai Xiyuan looked at him a little distantly, but said indifferently: "Just now I received some news, I heard that because of the blood river, the villagers here don't drink the river water."

"That's right, they thought that the ghost energy in the blood river would spread to the main river, so they were afraid."

"The daily drinking water for the villagers comes from a vendor, who is said to sell water outside the temple gate every morning." Bai Xiyuan added.

Xiao Yunyi kept thinking about the matter between the ghost and the sealing technique in his mind, but he ignored the sources of drinking water for the villagers.If Bai Xiyuan hadn't reminded him, he would have really put aside such important matters.

"Thank you for letting me know. I was thinking..." Xiao Yunyi originally wanted to tell Bai Xiyuan his guess, but it was just a guess. If the direction of thinking was wrong, it might mislead others.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yunyi decided to wait until the time is right before telling Bai Xiyuan.

Seeing that he was in trouble, Bai Xiyuan didn't force him to continue talking, she said: "You don't have to rush to tell me what you think. Stay here for a few more days, maybe we will find the answer."

For Bai Xiyuan's understanding, he thanked him from the bottom of his heart, and said, "Please help me, Junior Sister Bai Ning, to tell everyone that if you encounter ghosts by accident, you will almost cast spells on them. I can't come to a conclusion on some things, so please do me a favor." Pass this on."

"Okay." Bai Xiyuan nodded in agreement.After speaking, she turned and left.

Seeing Bai Xiyuan's back gradually going away, he finally couldn't help asking: "What have your senior brothers been doing recently?"

Hearing that, Bai Xiyuan was startled, she stopped, turned around and said to Xiao Yunyi: "I heard that the sect master has an errand for senior brother to complete. As for where he went, I really don't know."

Xiao Yunyi smiled and said: "I see, thank you."

After watching Bai Xiyuan leave, Xiao Yunyi couldn't help but give himself a punch. He didn't understand why he asked Bai Xiyuan such an embarrassing question.Besides, how could someone know where her senior brother was and what he was doing? This obviously had nothing to do with her.

Xiao Yunyi returned to the house with complete regret.This night, he was tossing and turning, wishing that when he woke up, Bai Xiyuan would not remember what he had said.

In the early morning of the next day, there was a lot of people outside the temple. The villagers all carried large buckets and formed a long queue outside the temple.Xiao Yunyi deliberately got up early to find out what happened. He passed the long queue and walked to the front, only to see a water merchant had already set up a stall, prepared enough water sources, and started business here.

"Ten liters of water is worth forty copper coins." The water seller said.

Hearing this, Xiao Yunyi listened carefully to the words with a surprised face, fearing that he had heard something wrong.When the merchant again emphasized the price of water, he couldn't believe it.

In this village, ten liters of water can buy a bucket of rice, and the water sold by merchants is called "holy water", which is more precious than gold.

Xiao Yunyi didn't go forward to question immediately, but only went to inquire after he finished his business.When the businessman saw Xiao Yunyi, he asked enthusiastically, "Master, do you want to buy water?"

As the businessman said, he smiled and pushed the bucket full of water towards Xiao Yunyi.Seeing this, Xiao Yunyi stretched out his hand to block the barrel heading towards him, and said, "You don't need to buy water, but I have a few questions to ask you."

Hearing this, the businessman's complexion turned pale, he hurriedly packed his things, and was about to leave.

"Why leave in such a hurry? Where did this water come from?" Xiao Yunyi asked slowly, with an unknown smile on the corner of his mouth.

In an instant, the copper coins in the merchant's hands were scattered all over the ground, making a clanging sound.He quickly bowed down to pick it up, but Xiao Yunyi stopped him.

"I'd like to see whether money is more important or your life." Xiao Yunyi offered Li Yuan, and carefully placed it on the merchant's neck.

The businessman felt a chill spread into his body from his neck, and couldn't help shivering.Seeing that he couldn't escape from the palm of the person, he quickly knelt down and said, "Whatever you want to ask, Young Master, I say yes, I say yes!"

"Where did this water come from?"

It is difficult to supply this astonishing amount of water to the villagers, not to mention that the village is in the wilderness, and it takes at least several hours to walk to the nearby small town.What method does the merchant use to transport the water so that it can be sold regularly every day?Xiao Yunyi felt that something was wrong.

"This water is from the bloody river near the village." The merchant's voice was trembling with fear.

Regarding this, Xiao Yunyi already had an idea in his mind, so he didn't seem very surprised even when he heard such frightening news.

Seeing Xiao Yunyi's silence, the businessman panicked even more. He said, "I swear, the water I took is from the main river, not from a branch. I've already drank it, so there's no problem."

"Since you know that the villagers are afraid of drinking the water from this river, you still take it and sell it. If the villagers know about it, how do you let them live?" Xiao Yunyi said.

"I...I...I think that as long as the villagers don't know about it, there will be no 'river of blood', and the villagers will be able to live in peace as usual." The businessman explained.

Xiao Yunyi sneered: "You dare to quibble, you want to take the opportunity to make a fortune! Don't tell others about the source of water. But your water price must be reduced."

The businessman nodded frequently and said, "Surrender...surrender...must be surrendered!"

"That's good. You do business as usual, and only you and I know what happened today." Xiao Yunyi moved Li Yuan one step closer to the merchant's neck to act as a threat.

He couldn't imagine that if one day these superstitious villagers knew about it, they would definitely do many unreasonable things.If, as the businessman said, the river water is fine and can be drunk normally, then he just needs to find a way to stop the villagers from superstitiously believing the rumors about the blood river.

into the night.

Today's night was unusually quiet.Maybe some kind of external force made the cicadas' chirping extremely depressing, and it was out of tune when you listened carefully, or it was the sound of hurried footsteps wandering back and forth in the street, which seemed very abrupt at first glance.

Xiao Yunyi, who was sleeping, noticed the abnormality in the moon night, and woke up suddenly. He quickly changed into his coat, and gently pushed the wooden door open.

The creaking sound from the dilapidated wooden door brought the cicadas back to their original tune, and the footsteps stopped instantly.
