The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 527 The Devil Savior (asking for monthly ticket)

Starting from Xishafang, walk counterclockwise around the inconspicuous path outside Baishi Town, and you will soon reach the village in the east.

Xiaoya looked at Xu Shu next to her and pouted, "Oh, I didn't expect that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are actually quite good at playing tricks on people."

What a joke! Why don’t you go out and ask about my name?
Xu Shu sneered.

He thought so, but said: "What you said is very harsh. What do you mean by playing with people's hearts? I call it boosting morale. I am lifting their bent spines. We are born as human beings, we should stand upright, everyone is equal, and we should have backbone!"

As he spoke, he played with the lotus stand in his hand. After examining it for himself, he quickly hid it away, keeping it for himself without giving it to Xiaoya.

Xiaoya couldn't get it, and said angrily: "Heh, they are just mortals in this ruins. They can't leave Xuanmen at all, and can't repay you. Is it worth it for you to do this? The holy water blessed by the third-level nun, even if you raise a succubus, it must not be easy to produce it, right?"

Eh? You are wrong. Can I tell you that it is actually quite easy?

Xu Shu chuckled.

Strangely enough, Alice's abilities in other aspects are mediocre, and her combat power is shockingly low, but her output of "Blessed Holy Water" is surprisingly high, as productive as a mother... ahem.

Maybe this is what they call a sacrifice for the "milk" special attack?

For a transcendent of the "Nun" path, this may not be a disadvantage, provided that one can find a sufficiently reliable partner to protect oneself.

For example, I...

Xu Shu was a little proud in his heart, and answered casually: "What's the point of being worth it? What reward do you want? Just do it if you want to. We are extraordinary people, we just do what we want, why should we be so particular? Sister Xiaoya, you are still too pedantic."

Without waiting for Xiaoya to refute, Xu Shu waved his hand and continued:
"Stop talking nonsense. We have been here for almost an hour. If we don't hurry up, someone else will get the treasure first! Let's go. If nothing else, we must get the treasure key of the Baishi Town Guard Office!"

After saying this, he stepped into the village ahead with a clear goal in mind.

On the rockery at the entrance of the village, there are two large painted characters engraved. The font is not much different from the modern one and can be clearly identified: "Huo Ji".

After entering the village, Xu Shu always felt that the name of the village might be written wrong.

The courtyards of every household here are filled with chickens.

It's not the kind that stands on the street, but a real chicken, a bird with two legs, wings, red in color, and clucking.

So this village should be called "Turkey" Village, right?
“The local villagers are so uneducated!”

Xu Shu complained.

It is worth mentioning that along the way, I saw farmers raising as few as eleven or twelve chickens, and as many as thirty or forty.

It seems that this village is quite rich.

Logically speaking, the living conditions of the residents here should be much better than those in Xishafang, right?
This is not the case.

The villagers of Huoji Village all had weak blood and swollen eyelids, and their clothes were even more tattered than those of Xishafang. The dirty clay dolls even had deformed bulging stomachs, and it was obvious that they were severely malnourished.

It was just dinner time, and when I peeked inside, I saw that the rice jar was almost clear, and there was a pile of freshly cooked rice mixed with bran on the stove.

On the contrary, in the chicken trough outside in the yard, there was a pile of cornmeal with a fine color.

The villagers ate worse than the turkeys!
They were confined in the yard, walking around and defecating everywhere, enjoying the offerings of high-quality grains with great pride, as if they were the masters and the villagers were merely servants who fed them.

Moreover, Xu Shu also noticed that the more chickens a family raised, the more difficult their life became; on the contrary, the family with fewer chickens in the yard could still have a bowl of hot porridge.

"What the hell is this? Is there something fishy about this turkey? Is it being raised to be offered as a tribute to the White Lotus?"

After all, Xu Shu was a "knowledgeable and well-read" folklorist, so he made some guesses when he saw this.

"It's possible." Xiaoya's eyes lit up and she patted Xu Shu, "Brother Xu Shu, please help me catch a few."

"Why are you catching chickens?"

Xu Shu was puzzled, but he still grabbed a few turkeys.

These chickens were as tall and strong as humans, but unfortunately they were still no match for the "Dragon Elephant" in the middle stage of the third realm, and they struggled to escape from Xu Shu's iron-like palm.

Xiaoya fiddled with it for a while and discovered the secret - the fewer chickens there are in a yard, the brighter their fur is, and the slightest pinch will cause blue flames to sizzle!

"Huh, this one with blue flames..." Xiaoya pinched her chin and thought.

Xu Shu's eyes lit up: "Is it Gatling?"

"Ah?" Xiaoya was stunned.

"It's okay, just pretend I didn't say anything." Xu Shu waved his hand.

Xiaoya looked at him strangely, and without thinking much, she whispered: "This place is located in the east of Baishi Town. According to the previous judgment of the 'Xiantian Bagua Formation', if Yang Su did not lie, the White Lotus Shrine here should have a 'Lihuo' lotus platform.

"These strange birds in Huoji Village should be related to the Lihuo Lotus Platform. They may have been infected with some special properties."

"So that's how it is." Xu Shu nodded, and asked again in confusion, "Then why don't people in Xishafang raise chickens that produce mud?"

"It's not necessary to raise chickens. Maybe the sticky, bloody bean paste they grind is the influence of the 'Duzhe' lotus platform?
"Of course, this is just speculation. Maybe it was just a coincidence before. If not, it is unknown."

Xiaoya gave Xu Shu a heads-up in advance as a "disclaimer" for her judgment.

Finally, she added: "I think there must be something fishy about this matter. What do you think, Brother Xu Shu?"

"I see?"

Xu Shu's mouth twitched, and he strangled the turkey in his hand, smashed it to pieces on the ground in anger, and said angrily, "Let me see!"

What's with Dui, Ze and Lihuo? Why should I, a "Dragon Elephant" care so much about you?

I don't like this crappy place, let's just do it!

"I think we should teach the White Lotus Sect a lesson sooner rather than later! Sister Xiaoya, don't waste time. Let's gather eight lotus platforms as soon as possible and then charge to the Baishi Town branch."

Xu Shu rubbed his fists, feeling itchy and eager to fight.

"Hmph, a vulgar wrestler."

Xiaoya secretly curled her lips and complained, but had no objection.

This time, because he had obtained enough intelligence from Yang Su and made relatively complete plans and arrangements, Xu Shu's work was much easier. He no longer had to ask around and observe in all directions like he did in Xishafang.

It only took them three minutes to find a small rocky pond to the north of Huoji Village.

This house is "the best house in the whole village" and is also the home of the shrine maiden of the Byakuren Shrine in Huozumi Village.

When the two men arrived, the witch was standing at the door, reluctantly bidding farewell to a young man in his early twenties with extraordinary aura.

Xu Shu stood quietly outside the courtyard gate and looked the woman up and down.

Although this place is said to be a cold and bitter place with "natural disasters and unrest", this woman is plump and has a beautiful appearance that is totally not something that can be raised by the hard-working poor people in this place.

Judging from her appearance alone, she must have found the right person. She is the White Lotus priestess here.

Tsk tsk, I have to admit that the White Lotus Sect is very good at training women. How can such milky white snow be produced without a lot of nutrition?
At this time, the woman had just watched the enthusiastic knight leave with reluctance and entanglement in her eyes, and it seemed that he was going to the village to inquire about something.

As a result, as soon as she turned around, she suddenly saw a man who was even more handsome and taller than before, staring at her with a teasing and amusing look, obviously with bad intentions.

"Oh!"

She was stared at so directly and nakedly that her heart skipped a beat and she felt something was wrong.

Before she could react, Xu Shu had already pushed open the exquisitely decorated courtyard gate and squeezed in from the side.

Although he was 99% sure, in order to make sure he was not mistaken, Xu Shu finally confirmed it and said, "You are the village beauty of Huoji Village... Pah, the witch of Huoji Village?"

"Yes, yes..." The woman looked a little scared, but after rolling her eyes, she seemed to have regained her confidence and said softly, "This sir looks unfamiliar. Are you a foreigner? My name is Ningxiang. We have lived here for generations. I am willing to serve you."

She has a gentle and charming appearance. Her every move, every frown and smile gives people a natural feeling of pity. Her voice is like a fledgling chick scratching people's hearts, making people subconsciously want to protect her.

It's really pitiful!
pity.

Xu Shu had been fooled once by Yang Su.

Therefore, when the woman showed such an attitude again, he smiled coldly: "Your name is Ningxiang, right?"

Ningxiang instinctively felt that something was wrong. Why was this man's reaction different from what she had imagined?
"Yes, sir. What do you want?"

Her face was slightly stiff and her red lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to show off the advantage that "women who act coquettishly have the best luck."

However, this time she miscalculated.

Before she could finish her words, Xu Shu grabbed her neck and said fiercely, "Stop talking nonsense. Hand over the Lihuo Lotus Platform and I will spare your life!"

"Ahem... ahem! What did you say, sir? Lotus platform? I don't know..." Ningxiang was horrified.

"How dare you pretend to be stupid?" Xu Shu swung his fist as big as a casserole and beat the woman to her knees without saying a word. Her face was swollen and her teeth fell out. It was a horrible sight.

"?"

Xiaoya, holding the "optical prism", opened her mouth slightly and stared blankly at Xu Shu beating the witch Ningxiang. She was dumbfounded.

No...wait a minute...

What's wrong with you, brother Xu Shu? Weren't you very kind to Yang Su before?
Isn't it said that 'all are born equal and should stand up straight'?

Why are you so violent towards Ningxiang?

Although she seems to have no children, what's wrong with not having children? Does that mean she is not suffering from being persecuted by the White Lotus Sect?
Damn it, what's the difference between her and Yang Su?
Why do I suddenly have an inexplicable sense of crisis?
Damn it! Brother Xu Shu, tell me! Tell me why!

……

All this happened so suddenly that Xiaoya was unable to react for a moment. She was only focused on watching “Xu Longxiang’s iron fist was invincible, beating the witch to the point of screaming.”

The next moment, before she could open her mouth to dissuade him, she saw a figure rushing in from the foot of the mountain, shouting:
"You thief, why don't you stop! Let go of Miss Ningxiang!"

It was the young man who had just left.

He swooped over like a giant bird, holding a strangely shaped weapon that looked like a hook or a hatchet, and he aimed at Xu Shu's head at a sharp angle.

Jam!

The sharp blade hit Xu Shu's neck, and it was like hitting gold or iron, sparks flew everywhere. Not only did it fail to pierce Xu Shu's skin, but it also left several cuts.

"Hmm? The power of human armor? A master of the second realm!" The young man's eyes fixed, he felt sorry for the damage to his weapon, but his eyes were full of vigilance.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shu twisted his neck and looked at him.

Human heel?

This is the ancient name for "iron clothes"...

It seems that this is not a transcendent person coming in from outside, but another "local native"?

I don't know what the origin is...

As Xu Shu was thinking, he saw a little pink hidden under the skin at the man's chest collar. It was inconspicuous and could not be seen at all without careful observation.

But there is no doubt that this is another unlucky guy with an overflowing kindness. During his contact with the White Lotus priestess, he was infected with the "Blood Jade Mustard", which is the "Slaanesh Poison" with slightly weakened power but greatly enhanced transmission method!
"You idiot, you don't even know you've been sold! This evil woman is a spy of the White Lotus Sect and has harmed countless people. Young man, you have been deceived. Do you know that you will not live long? According to my estimation, it won't be long before the extradition envoy of the White Lotus Sect will come to take your head!" Xu Shu said immediately.

"What? White Lotus Sect? This..."

The young man was startled.

Being addressed as "young hero" by Xu Shu, who looked a few years younger than him, he felt a strange sense of disharmony.

However, what surprised him even more was what Xu Shu said.

The White Lotus Sect extradition envoy is here to kill me?

The White Lotus Sect...isn't this a rural cult that spread among the people by deceiving poor disaster victims?
I heard that a rare treasure has been born here. Could it be...

The man's expression suddenly changed.

However, before he could think about it, Ningxiang started crying like she was grabbing a life-saving straw: "Master Shi, save me...save me..."

The weak and helpless crying instantly stimulated the man.

He fixed his eyes and said, "I am Shi Yifei, the true disciple of Laoshan Sect! I don't know whether what you said is true or not, but please let Miss Ningxiang go first, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!"

His aura was no longer concealed and burst out with a roar.

The extremely powerful "Qi" firmly locked onto every corner around Xu Shu, making him feel as if he was being attacked from every corner from all directions, with no way to escape.

It's the "Weapon Master"!
Moreover, his Qi is perfect and has almost reached the level of "Qi Yin". He is actually a "Weapon Master" at the peak of the second stage!
"You evil creature, why don't you let go?" Shi Yifei's eyes flashed with anger, and he was angry at Xu Shu's ignorance.

He attacked with all his strength, and pointed the strange hook sword at a place as if he was about to get furious for his beloved.

So Xu Shu also got angry.

"It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with good words, you damned devil, die now!"

He acted decisively, swinging his fist and striking, with the tip of his fist colliding head-on with the tip of the sword.

Bang bang bang!
In the unpretentious collision, continuous explosions and shattering sounds suddenly rang out.

The sword let out a long and mournful cry, and broke into pieces.

The man's breathing stopped suddenly and he opened his mouth to scream.

"Wait a minute! You're a b—"

Shi Yifei seemed to want to say something, but what answered him was an unstoppable and devastating fist.

Boom!

The gust of wind passed like a long dragon, sweeping away the entire forest at the foot of the hill, and naturally also swept away the enemies who were trying to stop the chariot in front of them.

Just like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, Shi Yifei was completely destroyed.

The world is quiet.

"There are two kinds of people I hate the most in my life: fickle women and men who can't tell right from wrong. You two have both."

Xu Shu shook his hands and blew on his fist like a Western fast-paced sniper blowing out the smoke from the muzzle of his gun.

Miss Ningxiang, with a bruised face and nose, stared blankly at the hillside that looked like it had been hit by an earthquake, and was so scared that she peed her pants.

She was horrified and aggrieved, saying, "I... I'm not... fickle..."

"Stop talking nonsense. Did you forget what I said I wanted?" Xu Shu looked down on her like a strong man.

"Yes... I understand. Please wait a moment, sir." Ningxiang nodded.

As the saying goes, violence cannot solve all problems, but it can solve most problems.

Xu Shu deeply agreed with this.

After witnessing with her own eyes such horrific destructive power comparable to that of a natural disaster, Ningxiang no longer had any hope of luck.

In order to save her life, she went straight into the dark room pointed out by Xu Shu, and did the same thing as Yang Su.

A few minutes later, Ningxiang, who looked more than ten years older, walked out of the house, bringing with her a flaming lotus platform with the word "Li" on it.

"Not bad, not bad. Wouldn't it have been better if you had been so obedient earlier? You've suffered so much in vain!"

Xu Shu was very satisfied. This time he asked Xiaoya to check the characteristics of the lotus platform.

Ningxiang leaned against the wall and cried, thinking to herself, who knew you were so vicious?

She trembled and said, "Sir, I have already done what you asked. Can you please let me go..."

"Reject." Xu Shu shook his head. "You still have to die. The difference is that now you can die more comfortably."

“Why! I have clearly handed over my mother’s divine gift as you requested. How can you go back on your word? No, sir, you can’t do this. You can’t fucking do this~”

Ningxiang was simply in disbelief. She couldn't understand what she had done wrong to deserve being treated like this.

Xu Shu did not explain, but pointed down the mountain and said: "But they will be buried with you."

As they were talking, they could see a group of White Lotus sect members in mourning clothes coming to Huoji Village by the stream at the foot of the mountain.

Their purpose was clear, just like before. While chanting the slogan "Please have mercy on the people of this world and the gods have descended from heaven, the Mother of No Birth has created her homeland of emptiness", they headed straight for the place where the "Blood Jade Possa Mustard" was.

with a clear purpose.

Obviously, the fishing-style killing of "the witch poisons and the White Lotus takes lives" is the means by which the witches in the surrounding villages contribute to the White Lotus Sect!
The witch is the bait, Shi Yifei who claims to be from the Laoshan Sect is the fish on the hook, and the White Lotus Sect's extradition envoy is the fisherman.

Now that the fish has taken the bait, it's time to harvest.

But this time, the group of fishermen came up empty-handed.

Because when they just arrived, they found that the "baited fish" was dead.

This "extradition envoy" also had a graceful figure with a curvy figure and a pair of strange vertical eyes.

She got off the sedan chair and looked at Xu Shu, then at Shi Yifei who had turned into meat paste, and then at the witch Ningxiang who had aged a lot. Her pretty face revealed a deep sense of confusion.

what happened?

Where are the medicinal herbs?
Where did it go?

And what's going on with this witch? Why does she seem to have lost the aura of her mother's blessing?
A series of questions came to his mind. The extradition officer paced back and forth, and couldn't help but utter a slogan, preparing to question Xu Shu.

"Mother of No Birth, True Emptiness..."

The beautiful extradition messenger, who seemed to be wearing nothing at all, flicked the whisk in her hand and just as she started to chant a slogan, she was interrupted by Xu Shu.

"Alright, alright, forget the polite words. Now that we're here, let's die together."

As he spoke, Xu Shu grabbed the extradition envoy's hair and pressed his entire beautiful face onto the millstone.

boom!
On the hillside, blood flowers exploded as bright as fireworks.
