Chapter 170

Doukuangzong mountain gate.

After Huo Xiumao showed his identity token, he was graciously welcomed into the main hall of the sect by the members of the Doukuang sect, and met the head directly.

In front of the identity of Taichu Guan's direct disciple, even the head of the Doukuang Sect who has a real cultivation base, would not dare to be negligent.

Huo Xiumao was not too polite, and asked straight to the point about the tragedy that happened in his hometown many years ago.

The reason why I came to inquire about Dou Kuangzong is because that village belongs to the jurisdiction of Dou Kuangzong.

"That day I sneaked out of the house and went up the mountain to hunt birds, and I was able to escape. When I returned home, I witnessed the evil deeds of that man. The village is full of mortals without cultivation, and it is unlikely that I will offend such a powerful monk. I couldn't figure out why the other party did such a murderous act, so I had no choice but to visit the door to bother you. I wonder if your party has any clues about what happened back then?"

The head of the Dou Kuang Sect pondered for a while, and said: "I do have an impression of this matter. Later, I sent my disciples to investigate and found that all the villagers were buried by Haosheng. I was very puzzled. It turned out that Fellow Daoist Huo did it. According to the disciples As a result of the survey, the other party only slaughtered people and destroyed the village with one move, which shows that the cultivation base is not weak. Based on this, I asked people to investigate the powerful monks who appeared in the area during that period, but found nothing."

Huo Xiumao pondered for a while, and said, "Are there any active evil cultivators in the land under the jurisdiction of your sect?"

Head of the Dou Kuang Sect: "Evil cultivators have always existed. There is an evil cultivator organization called Luo Wangmeng, which specializes in intercepting Taoism. It became more and more rampant, killing people frequently, and even some disciples of our sect were brutally murdered. However, their whereabouts were extremely secretive and slippery, and it was difficult to get rid of them due to the lack of strength of our sect. A few days ago, we had already asked for help from the Wufeng Sword Sect. The advance disciples sent by the Edge Sword Sect to investigate the situation will arrive in a few days."

Hearing this, Huo Xiumao raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and then inquired about Luo Wangmeng's information.

The head of the Dou Kuang Sect informed a lot of relevant information about Luo Wangmeng, and then asked: "You suspect that what happened back then was done by members of Luo Wangmeng?"

Huo Xiumao shook his head and said, "I just think that if I ask Xie Xiu, there may be unexpected gains."

Just as he was talking, a disciple came in to report that the Wufeng Sword Sect had arrived.Huo Xiumao took his leave and left without hesitation, and declined the invitation of the head of the Dou Kuang Sect to persuade him to stay.

……

Deacon Lin came forward to deal with the complaint, and then warned Jing Yingrong:

"Miss Mirror, since you won't be affected by the patient's inner voice, then you should listen more and talk less. Remember, if you can't mention this kind of suggestion, don't mention it."

Jing Yingrong: "Why?"

Deacon Lin held the jade slip in one hand, and tapped on the palm of the other hand, "First, you have not been trained in what to say and what not to say, and you don't know the tricks. Second, there are many people here , They actually know it in their own hearts. What they want is not analysis and advice, nor an answer. They just want to find someone to confide in. Of course, it would be better if you can say some useless words to comfort them , but..."

Deacon Lin looked Jing Yingrong up and down, "I don't think you are good at this either."

Jing Yingrong nodded: "Understood, I will try again."

"Just don't get complained anymore, it's very troublesome to deal with complaints, and I don't know who the other party is, so I can't do it privately..."

Deacon Lin walked away chattering.

Not long after, the second patient arrived.

A blurry human silhouette appeared on the light curtain.After the other party sat down, he said, "I killed someone."

Jing Yingrong: "Yes."

Her short and plain response seemed to reassure the other party a lot, and she poured out all her thoughts:
"She is a friend I have known for many years. Some time ago, I went abroad with her. We met monsters that shouldn't exist there... The monsters are very strong. We couldn't fight them, so we had to run away, but the monsters chased us. Let go. She and I were seriously injured, and the life-protecting spiritual seal planted by the sect was also used up. In the end, the monster rushed towards me. I was so scared that I... actually pulled her over to block it. in front of……"

The voice from the opposite side of the light curtain became hoarse, and the voice trembled violently, like a candle in the wind.

"She died just like that, the monster crushed her body and devoured it mouthful after mouthful... Her eyes kept looking at me, bleeding, staring at me...I didn't dare to look, so I took the opportunity to escape It's..."

The silhouette of the human figure became shorter again, and the other party seemed to have lowered his head.

"After I came back, I didn't dare to close my eyes. As soon as I closed my eyes, I would remember her appearance at that time. I told others that it was her who unfortunately died at the mouth of monsters, and I couldn't save her. I never thought that I would To do such a thing, I don't even have the courage to tell the truth. I entered the sect together with her, we have known each other for so long, and we have such a good relationship, but I actually..."

Words turned into muffled cries.

Jing Yingrong's expression remained unchanged, and she replied with a faint "um", proving that she was listening.

The crying became louder and louder, and the other party almost broke down crying: "I'm so scared, I feel like she's looking at me all the time, I dare not close my eyes, and I dare not practice. I don't know what to do, I knew I was wrong, and I was also forced to be helpless!"

The other party was crying so hard that the following words were fragmented and he couldn't speak a complete sentence.

Jing Yingrong never interrupted.

Finally, the crying gradually subsided, and the other party seemed to have stabilized his emotions, sobbing, he asked, "I'm done talking...can you help me?"

Jing Yingrong: "Isn't your mood much better already?"

The other party froze for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Indeed, it's much more comfortable to say it. You...you don't know how to say it?"

Jing Yingrong: "No."

The other party breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Although I feel much more comfortable, I still feel... How can I get rid of this shadow, do you know? If this continues, it will affect my cultivation too much."

Jing Yingrong was silent for a moment, then said: "It may be useful to kill that monster."

"Kill the monster?"

The other party murmured, like a flash of inspiration, and the voice was unconsciously louder: "Yes, I will kill the monster and avenge you. In order to avenge, I have to work hard, so don't look at me, Don't hate me, forgive me. We are good friends, you will forgive me..."

The other party talked to himself like this for a long time, and finally let out a long breath, and when he spoke again, his voice was already brisk:
"Thanks, I know what to do."

Jing Yingrong: "You're welcome."

The silhouette of the human figure behind the light curtain disappeared, and Jing Ying looked thoughtful.

Jijie Pen: "What's wrong?"

Jing Yingrong: "His good friend is dead, so he won't look at him. The source of his fear doesn't exist."

Jijie Pen: "This is the so-called inner demon."

Jing Yingrong: "Do you have any demons?"

The three spirits said in unison: "No."

"I do not have either."

Jing Yingrong whispered.

"It's something I never had. People, why do you have demons..."
