Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 944 Blessed Land Fourth Round

"Hum hum……"

"It hurts."

The painful groans of the elderly echoed in the main hall of the county government office on the first floor.

Wu Xian, covered in dried blood, sat in the magistrate's chair behind the magistrate's desk, looking up at the ceiling filled with corpses, his eyes somewhat vacant.

At this point, the fourth cycle of the blessed land has been activated.

But Wu Xian had no motivation whatsoever.

Only six elderly people remain among the newcomers, and none of them have yet participated in the exploration of the blessed land.

Wu Xian had considered that these elderly people might not be as reliable as the youth and middle-aged groups, but he never expected them to be this unreliable.

The fourth round has just begun, and two elderly people have already lost the ability to explore the blessed land!

The newlyweds were initially suspended upside down from the ceiling. Wu Xian could use a yellow slip of paper with the word "release" written on it to lower them down from the ceiling.

The release wasn't fast, so the newcomers, although they all fell slightly, were not seriously injured and could get up and move around immediately.

But this time, the newcomers are all older.

Although the elderly are full of energy, have the stamina to travel around, dance, and rush to catch the bus with great vigor, and seem never to get tired when doing chores...

However, even minor injuries can cause their physical condition to deteriorate rapidly.

So just by lowering them off the ceiling, two of them got into trouble: one twisted his back, and the other fractured his leg...

Of course, the elderly can't be blamed; the blame lies with the "blessed land" that brought them in, since everyone grows old eventually.

But Wu Xian's eyes glazed over, and he suddenly became somewhat pessimistic about the four directions of the blessed land...

……

However, despite this, the blessed land must continue.

The biggest change in the main hall of the county government office on the first floor of the blessed land is that the gate to life has been opened, and they can enter and explore at any time.

Furthermore, all the items that Wu Xian had taken from the case earlier have reappeared in their original positions, indicating that these items are refreshed every round of the blessed land.

Because of his severe injury last time, Wu Xian didn't have time to store the props in the left corridor on the first floor, so some things were lost and he had to find them again, such as the chains used to bind the cage and some small props like corpse oil.

But items like the petition drumsticks and blank documents were still in Wu Xian's pocket.

Then there's the issue of newcomers.

Last time, during the third playthrough of the blessed land, there were six newcomers in the middle-aged group, and now three of them are still alive and hanging from the ceiling.

They are Fang Aimin, Qi Liang, and Luo Caixia.

Xu Dayu and Wan Siming, who were killed by the evil spirits of cattle and horses when the gate of death was opened, are completely dead. Cao Yuan, Fang Aimin's wife who was frightened to death, also did not come back to life.

When Fang Aimin woke up and saw his wife's cold body, he burst into tears. Tears streamed down his temples and into his hair. The grown man cried like a child.

He had initially hoped for his wife's survival, but now that hope was completely shattered. Even if she survived in the blessed land, the future seemed bleak to him.

Wu Xian thus confirmed that being frightened to death by evil spirits was considered murder, not natural death...

The three mentioned above, along with the previously surviving murderer Wang Wei, music teacher Shi Yan, security guard Yang Lin, gossipy Hao Ze, bassist Liu Nana, tourist Miao Yue, jogger Chen Chao, and tour guide Hu Zhongjian, now make a total of eleven living people hanging from the ceiling.

This time, Wu Xian wasn't in a particular hurry.

He exchanged a few simple pleasantries with the newlyweds, introduced the current progress of the blessed land, and reassured them that the blessed land was almost finished and they had a high chance of surviving, giving them hope for survival.

Then, Wu Xian looked at the elderly people.

At this point, the elderly men and women had started arguing.

For Shi Yan and the others, the situation in the blessed land was no longer a mystery; they knew what kind of predicament they were in.

But for these elderly people, they were just in a music museum, and when they woke up, they were hanging upside down from the ceiling, surrounded by corpses, and then they were mercilessly thrown down to the ground where a wounded young man was standing. It would be difficult for anyone to remain completely calm in this situation.

The most excited of them all was Li Weigong, an old man dressed in a beach outfit.

Old Li pointed at Wu Xian and questioned him, wanting an explanation. This old man was an old acquaintance of Wu Xian's, and he had a very stubborn temper. Every time he opened his eyes, he would curse a few times. Therefore, in the forgotten blessed land cycle, he had already been scolded quite a few times...

A similarly dressed old woman was standing next to him, holding Old Li's hand and patting his back, afraid that he would get too excited, his blood pressure would rise, and he would faint. This was Jiang Li.

The third elderly man, wearing a white short jacket and with a middle-part hairstyle, was the calmest-looking among the six and also in the best physical condition. He was Lei Weiguo, who lived in a neighborhood near the museum. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, he would lead a group of elderly men and women in practicing Tai Chi in the square.

The fourth person was a thin, hunchbacked old man wearing a blue shirt. His skin was sallow and loose, and he had almost lost all his hair. His name was Feng Yu. He used to work in a theater troupe, and after retiring, he would teach young people to play musical instruments on the third floor of the music museum... Of course, it was a paid course.

The two remaining elderly people both had some injuries on their bodies.

One of them was An Guiying, an elderly woman with a sorrowful expression, wearing an orange reflective vest. She was a sanitation worker from the neighborhood and was caught in the mud while she was working. She twisted her back when she landed on the ground.

The other was a stylishly dressed elderly woman with curly hair. She was one of the tourists that Luo Caixia had brought to visit the music museum. She had broken her leg as soon as she landed, and her face was contorted as she groaned in pain.

Wu Xian's eyes held a complex mix of pity and helplessness.

However, he couldn't use this compassion for exploring the blessed land, so he put a four-eyed corpse exorcism mask on his face and activated its intimidating effect.

The corpse demon mask suddenly transformed into something resembling a vengeful ghost, and the six old men fell silent, trembling with fear, no longer daring to shout at Wu Xian.

Then, just like before, Wu Xian quickly introduced the blessed land and led the elderly to the table where the statues of the gods were placed, and led them to worship the gods together.

Even the two injured elderly people were moved to the wooden table by Wu Xian.

After an incense stick had burned down, seven familiar worship items appeared before Wu Xian's eyes. Without any hesitation, he reached out his hand directly towards the "Long-burning" character...

The Dragon and Tiger Tonic Pills are right next to it!

Yes, Wu Xian did not choose the "Jiu Ran Ran" character this time.

There are three reasons:
First, the enhancement of the "Long-lasting Burning" character has reached its limit.

Secondly, Wu Xian's injuries were too severe. The newcomers' injuries would be fully restored after they died and were resurrected, but Wu Xian could not die, so he needed to be healed.

Third, among the seven items used for worshipping the gods, only the Dragon Tiger Tonic Pill, which enhances physical fitness, can be taken to the final battle!

Wu Xian swallowed the Dragon Tiger Tonic Pill in one gulp, and immediately felt an unbearable itch all over his body. His bones made cracking sounds, and the flesh that had been cut off by the Lingchi Ghost was regenerating at a rapid pace. In just a few breaths, he returned to his peak condition, and his body was even getting stronger.

The Dragon and Tiger Tonic Pill can double a user's strength and speed within one minute, while the Dragon Tendon and Tiger Bone Bracelet can permanently preserve this effect.

With Wu Xiandao in his body, his physical condition was already slightly stronger than that of ordinary people. After taking the tonic pill, his strength and speed doubled. With the amplification from the bracelet, his strength and speed were now more than three times that of ordinary people!
