The copy has 0 error tolerance, and the last words on the ground are all wrong for me.

Chapter 31 It turns out to be you!

Wu Chang asked, "What do you mean?"

Liu Shan looked into the distance and recalled:

"Two and a half years ago, a monk passed by the village. His skin was as black as coal, his nose was flat as garlic, his lips were as thick as goat intestines, and his hair was naturally curled into a ball, like the topknot on the top of the Buddha's head in the statue. He stayed in the village for three days and claimed that he had a method to eradicate evil spirits."

Wu Chang raised his eyebrows. Oh, this copy is an international server, and a foreign monk has come.

"Sure enough, the foreign monk can chant. He asked you to give it a try, so you let him try?"

"It is said that if a person has unusual signs in his life, he must have extraordinary powers. The black monk had unusual signs all over his body, and he was very skilled. We thought he must be an extraordinary person, so we let him give it a try."

Liu Shan regretted, "Many people came here before to subdue the evil spirits, but they failed to exorcise the evil spirits and did not bring disaster. Who knew that the black monk would go into the mountain alone holding a cross-shaped wooden stick with a little man nailed on it, and that night the mountain shook violently."

"Not only did they fail to exorcise the evil spirit, but they also attracted a mad mandrill, which chased the Black Monk all the way here. In front of everyone outside the village, it broke the Black Monk's cross magic weapon and beat him to death."

Wu Chang curled his lips and said, "This is what it means to cross the line."

The cause of the copy contamination was found. In order to complete the task, Lao Hei wanted to get rid of the sealed evil BOSS, but his actions were too big and attracted other monsters in the mountain.

Not only did the seal on the evil BOSS loosen, but his death also caused Baili Huaishan to be polluted by players, and the copy gradually got out of control, leading to the current situation step by step.

Liu Shan continued, "Since then, the evil spirit has been out of control. Many people have come to exorcise it, but none of them succeeded. Some people were even affected by the evil spirit and went crazy, killing and injuring many villagers."

"It wasn't until a year ago that a scholar passed by and helped us improve the New Year's Eve festival, and only then was we able to regain control of the evil spirits."

"The scholar said that it is most effective to hold the New Year's Eve ceremony at the end of each year, when the old year turns to the new year. However, with the frequent appearance of monsters in the mountains, the improved New Year's Eve ceremony is difficult to maintain. There is still a month left before the date the scholar said, but the evil spirits have already frequently attacked the villagers."

Wu Chang felt that this was very normal. Over the past year in Huaigu Village, the pollution level of the dungeon had increased a lot, and the difficulty of the dungeon had naturally increased as well, heading straight for level B.

Will it work if I use a C-level seal to seal a B-level BOSS?
The principle is simple, but if Wu Chang wants Liu Shan to understand it, he must translate it into terms that the natives of this plane can understand.

"Now that spiritual energy has reappeared, the world has undergone tremendous changes. Monsters are becoming stronger with the nourishment of spiritual energy. It is naturally difficult to restrain the monsters of today with the methods of the past."

Liu Shan suddenly realized, "So that's why. I was afraid of repeating the same mistake as the Black Monk, so I didn't dare to disobey the scholar's instructions. And Liu Wei, whom the hero just met, thought that we couldn't delay any longer, and kept asking me to hold the New Year's Eve ceremony in advance."

"From what you said, the hero, it is not impossible to hold the New Year's Eve celebration in advance?"

Wu Chang said slowly: "To exorcise demons, one must be flexible and adaptable. I think it is feasible to remove the New Year's offerings in advance."

After hearing what Wu Chang said, Liu Shan felt relieved and said, "If that's the case, I'll notify everyone tomorrow and discuss bringing forward the New Year's Eve celebration."

Before Liu Shan left, Wu Chang suddenly remembered something and asked:
"There are many reasons for the formation of ghosts and monsters after birth. Village chief, do you know what caused the evil spirits in the mountains to form in the first place?"

Liu Shan frowned and shook his head. "I've never heard of him. Liu Wei is the most powerful hunter in the village. He knows the most about what's going on in the mountains. Maybe he knows something."

After Liu Shan left, Wu Chang lay on the bed, thinking about what to do next.

Moonlight Sanatorium was the only instance he had ever been through, and it had a great impact on him. In particular, the act of hiding a time limit for clearing the instance still left him with lingering fears.

His task was only to participate in the New Year's Eve festival, and he did not consider what would happen in the village after the festival.

Things should not be delayed, otherwise things will change.

The villagers are not ready, and the dungeon boss is definitely not ready either.

Another important reason for supporting the early holding of the New Year's Eve Festival also comes from the Moonlight Sanatorium, and that is the first law of mysticism.

The more people believe in its existence, the stronger its power becomes.

It is not difficult to hear from Liu Shan's description that the evil spirit was not very powerful at first. When it was not trapped by the New Year's Eve festival, it only made children and the elderly sick, and its targets were mostly this type of people.

But now, even though the evil spirit was suppressed by the New Year's Eve festival, it can still make adult villagers lose their souls.

The huge gap between the past and the present is definitely not just caused by the contamination of the copy.

The villagers' long-standing fear of evil spirits will also make the evil spirits more powerful.

One month before the New Year's Eve Festival, the seal is loosened and the villagers' fear is the strongest. The longer the delay, the more powerful the evil spirit will be. From any perspective, the New Year's Eve Festival should be held in advance.

Wu Chang exhaled and closed his eyes.

Due to lack of energy, driving the Soul-Cleansing Flag consumed a lot of his energy, and he had to recover through sleep or the meditation method taught by Chi Yuan.

He followed the method Chi Yuan taught him, closed his eyes, and emptied his mind, trying to separate his spirit from his body. He wanted to feel the spiritual energy floating in the air, and use it to nourish his spirit and replenish the loss.

With the blessing of high inspiration, his comprehension was extremely high and he quickly entered a state of meditation.

In a trance, his spirit left his body and rose higher and higher, with a sense of out-of-body experience.

However, due to the lack of Taoist methods, he was unable to control his soul that had left his body. He could only be in a half-asleep and half-awake state, letting his soul act according to the guidance of inspiration.

The soul floated aimlessly, and when passing by a forest, it heard a conversation coming from below.

"Brother, this guy is different from those useless people who came to the village before. He has real skills. Shall we take action?"

"Don't worry, keep him until after the New Year's Eve."

"I'm worried that he'll run away..."

"You are too hasty. He is so proud of his master and his ability that he would not run away even if he was defeated by the evil spirit. You are too hasty, especially what happened today. Don't do it again in the future."

"clear."

Hmm? It seems someone wants to deal with him.

The voice sounded familiar, but Wu Chang was in a half-asleep state and couldn't hear it clearly.

He wanted to concentrate on looking down, but he concentrated too much, and the attribute of will directly woke him up from meditation.

When he entered the out-of-body state again, the two people who had conspired had disappeared and could no longer be found.

Who is that person speaking?
"Who is that person who is speaking?"

"Mr. Wu, what are you talking about? Is the problem with the stones in my house very serious?" a middle-aged female villager asked anxiously.

Wu Chang shook his head and said, "I was thinking about something else just now, don't worry about it. Your child's soul is just a little unstable, and he has caught a cold. I helped him to stabilize his soul, and you can go back to find a doctor for normal treatment."

It is no wonder that many people in the village agreed to hold the New Year's Eve festival in advance. Many villagers have been possessed by evil spirits these days, and when they learned that Wu Changyou had real abilities, they all came to him.

In just one morning, he saw seven patients, the longest of whom had been possessed by evil spirits for two months.

But none of them had as serious a condition as Liu Ning, and no red lumps of flesh were seen during treatment.

However, what he was more concerned about at the moment was not whether the evil spirit had escaped, but who the voice was that he heard when his soul left his body before going to bed last night.

In a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, what he heard was not clear to begin with, and those few unreal words became increasingly blurred as time went by.

If he hadn't kept thinking about it, he would have completely forgotten about those two voices.

Forget it, just let those two go this time. He will be on guard now, and there will be plenty of opportunities to catch them in the future.

After seeing off the villagers, before I could catch my breath, the village chief Liu Shan came to my door.

"Master Wu, are you available now? Liu Wei and his men will be here soon and would like to discuss bringing forward the New Year's Eve celebration."

"no problem."

As he was talking, Liu Wei came over with a few prestigious villagers and greeted them:
"Master Wu, are you used to the rest you had yesterday?"

Hearing Liu Wei's words, Wu Chang clapped his hands and said happily:

"Oh it's you!"
