No taboos

Chapter 209 Regret Road

Di Youzhi stood on the path in front of the mountain gate, lifted his legs and then put them back.

He lifted up the other leg, then put it back down.

He scratched his ears and cheeks, shaking all over with anxiety.

Others saw that the road was right in front of him, but he couldn't walk on it.

But only he himself understood that he "wouldn't" leave suddenly!
Just like Xu Yuan wanted to see the sword under the bridge before.

If someone else wanted to take this path, the same situation would occur.

Fu Jingyu and the other two each chose a direction and walked out of the temple.

He also raised his foot, and although he was clearly taking a step forward, his body turned half a circle uncontrollably. When he took this step, he was not walking outward, but walking into the temple!
Everyone looked solemn and quickly returned to the Taoist temple: "We can't get out!"

The evil spirit was very proud and said across the carriage: "Here, you can only escape from here like me if you obey the rules."

Lang Xiaoba said angrily: "If my lord burns you to death, everything here will disappear and we will get out!"

"You little loser, you have such a poor talent for swordsmanship! You are so stupid and self-righteous!" The evil spirit said, "Burn me to death, and it will be a relief for me.

You must stay here for me!

If you want to get out, there is only one way, which is to find a new scapegoat like me.

You have to continue to find new scapegoats for your scapegoats.

The more I find, the more it proves that everyone will do the same thing, and the more it proves that I am not wrong - hahahaha!"

Lang Xiaoba didn't believe it and looked at his master.

Xu Yuan was thinking about something, frowning and not reacting.

Lang Xiaoba's heart skipped a beat; what the evil spirit said was actually true!

Fu Jingyu and other inspectors could also guess that it was probably true!

People like us will be trapped in this desolate, boring and weird scene forever!

As time goes by, maybe I will become like this evil spirit, trying every possible means to trick people into coming in and replacing myself!
Everyone in the Extermination Department felt a chill down their spines and their hair stood on end when they thought of this.

If that's the case, I might as well just die!
The evil spirit became more and more arrogant and arrogant: "Hahaha, you are unwilling to fulfill your oath and slay demons and monsters. You are all treacherous people!

Don’t even think about getting out! Never, ever, ever get out!”

Xu Yuan suddenly asked, "Is it true that we can never get out?"

"You can't go out, so stay with me, hahahaha!"

Xu Yuan asked, "Then why did you leave that footprint on the road?"

"Footprints? What footprints?" There was a hint of unnaturalness in the evil voice.

"Hmph!" Xu Yuan sneered and knew that he had guessed right.

I always thought that there was some mysterious secret hidden in the footprints on that path.

But until now, the so-called "tricks" have not been used.

Xu Yuan just thought about it carefully again and had another guess about these footprints.

Xu Yuan waved his hand and the carriage flew up.

Xu Yuan carried the carriage towards the mountain gate.

Fu Jingyu and others followed immediately.

Xu Yuan stood on the path in front of the mountain gate, suddenly turned his back to the road and backed away.

"You did something wrong back then, and you're suffering because there's no way to regret it in this world. I'm asking you to go back and correct your mistakes."

"So you left this road of regret."

Xu Yuan walked backwards: "This road is also proof that you have long understood that you were wrong. Otherwise, why would you regret it?"

As he spoke, Xu Yuan had already retreated more than ten steps.

Fu Jingyu's eyes lit up, and he immediately followed Xu Yuan's example and walked backwards onto the path.

Inside the carriage, the evil spirit roared crazily, "No, it's absolutely not like that... I'm a demon slayer, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that!"

"I never regret anything, and there is no such thing as regret in this world!"

It rammed around like crazy trying to break out.

"Don't run! Don't run! Stay with me!"

This behavior further proved that Xu Yuan's guess was correct.

If you can’t move forward, it means your method is wrong.

So how can we embark on the so-called "road of regret"?
Let everything follow its original trajectory and return to the original starting point. The old Taoist priest must have longed for this.

So Xu Yuan tried to retreat to the small path.

When my father was telling Xu Yuan the stories of the Seven Great Gates, he talked about this kind of obsession and evil spirits.

And he said that "a friend" had encountered a similar situation.

Sure enough, it worked on the first try.

Xu Yuan had already retreated to the stone bridge and suddenly blew out several mouthfuls of anger into the carriage.

But this evil is no small matter.

After repeated collisions, the carriage was almost unable to hold on.

"Stay! You all must stay! How can I escape if you run away—"

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Slamming into the carriage.

Xu Yuan wrapped the outside of the carriage with Pidan again.

"It still needs to be burned as soon as possible."

Xu Yuan retreated while spewing fire into the carriage.

The flames were billowing, but the evil spirit was too powerful. Black wind and black sand were flying everywhere in the carriage, consuming the fire in its belly.

When Xu Yuan retreated halfway, the fire in his belly had been exhausted.

Xu Yuan gritted his teeth and applied the last plaster on his belly button.

boom--

The fire in the abdomen surged.

Xu Yuan continued to spit out flames and retreated quickly.

Soon everyone retreated out of the strange scene and returned to the mountains.

Fu Jingyu and others breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel weak all over and couldn't help but sit on the ground.

"It finally came out..."

"Fortunately, my Lord saw through that evil trick, otherwise what would have happened to us would have been disastrous."

In everyone's eyes, the path was shrouded in a layer of fog.

The fog grew thicker and thicker, gradually covering the entire path.

Suddenly a mountain breeze blew, the thick fog dissipated, and the strange path disappeared.

But the strange scene obviously has not disappeared, and who knows whether in the future some unlucky guy will accidentally enter the mountains and take this road again!
Xu Yuan was still spewing flames.

Obsessions and evil spirits are difficult to refine.

When the effect of the dog-skin plaster had been mostly consumed, a final roar was heard in the carriage, and then there was no more sound.

A puff of green smoke drifted out of the carriage.

Various memory scenes, like layers of fading shadows, slowly dissipated.

He was poor when he was young, and he had neither enough food to eat nor enough clothes to wear.

The father worked hard in the fields and the mother worked diligently in weaving, raising three children.

The brother is friendly and the sister is well-behaved.

Life is hard but full of joy.

My father often said that in a few years, when my brother grew up and the family had a strong laborer, he would be able to feed himself and buy a new jacket for my sister.

But that winter, a rat demon appeared in the village.

Eating food is more like eating people!

The entire village gathered their remaining food rations in the ancestral hall. Everyone held a kitchen knife, a hoe, and a dung fork, ready to fight the rat demons to the death.

There is only one way to go under the evil spirit's disaster, and we have no choice but to fight.

My father, mother and brother were all among them.

But the rat demon, as huge as a tiger, with dozens of small demons as big as hunting dogs, was invincible to the villagers.

His situation that day was exactly the same as that of the little boy and the villagers when the dragon was walking.

My father died, my brother died, my mother died, my sister died... everyone in the village died.
