When I was a Taoist

Chapter 643 Room for Choice

"The whole village? Do you mean..."

I was stunned for a moment, and the village chief nodded and said with a smirk, "That's right, in fact, you didn't realize that the entire Richest Village has become the owner's domain. And everyone here, like me, has set their own I have dedicated my soul to my master, and I am willing to give my life for my master's rebirth!"

"What a bunch of lunatics!"

I kicked the village chief straight away, then dragged Tingting to a nearby house, knocked on the door frantically, and growled, "Open the door! You are all in trouble, so I can open the door quickly." Save you!"

But no matter how I knocked on the door, no one in the house answered me.My heart skipped a beat, and I kicked the door open. The scene in the room completely shocked me!
I saw that the walls around the room were covered with various patterns, which were very similar to the spirit devouring array upon closer inspection.And in the deepest part of this house, I also found the forbidden talisman.It's just that the banning talisman here seems to have been destroyed, so I have no way of knowing what is sealed behind the banning talisman.

I searched the whole house and finally found the body of an old man in the bedroom.Although he has lost his vitality, it seems that it was only a few hours ago.Recalling what I have experienced before, maybe after I uncovered the banning talisman of the village chief's house, he died here.

"Could it be that I killed him?" I muttered to myself, clenching my fists involuntarily.If his death is really related to me, I am afraid that even if I solve the trouble of the Devouring Formation, I will never forgive myself for the big mistake I made here.

Tingting took my hand and said softly: "Don't blame yourself so much, it's not your fault, but the fault of the mastermind behind the scenes. I think the villagers here have already been possessed like the village chief, even if you If they didn’t do this, they would also die when the Spirit Devouring Formation is completed.”

"But if I hadn't lifted the banning talisman, things wouldn't have developed to where they are today."

I gave a wry smile, and after walking out of the house, the village chief was still lying there like a dead dog, and sneered when he saw my dejected look: "How about it, have you seen your masterpiece, all this is caused by you Yes! If it wasn’t for you, they would all be able to follow their master to the Land of Ultimate Bliss two days later without any pain. But your intervention caused them to die here. You are responsible for their deaths!”

I didn't open my mouth, but Tingting stared and said, "I think your skin is itchy, do you still want to experience the pain just now?"

Now the village chief was too frightened to speak any more, he just lay there and hummed.I sighed and walked to the next house, the result was the same, the villagers were all turned into corpses.

In the entire richest man's village, there may be only a few of us alive.As for the village chief, he has already been possessed by a ghost, so he can't be considered a living person.

"Don't be discouraged, we still have a chance now! As long as we can decipher the Devouring Formation, we may be able to save everything!" Tingting gently held my face with both hands and said.

I gave a wry smile and said: "But the whole village is dead, only us are left. Even if we can break the spirit devouring formation, it only saves our lives. How can we let these innocent villagers What about resurrection from the dead?"

After a pause, I sighed again, and continued: "It's the first time I realize that I'm so useless. I thought I could help others as much as possible after practicing for so many years. These villagers couldn’t be saved, but they killed them themselves.”

Speaking of this, my heart is full of bitterness.I think, if Master and Shangguanmu knew about my current state, they would be very disappointed.

Tingting was silent for a moment, her voice suddenly became cold, and she said slowly: "I have always felt that nothing can be difficult for you, and I will never let you back down. And this time it is not your fault, here The villagers in the village are greedy for profit, so they let the black hands behind the scenes take advantage of it, which led to today's mess. We have worked hard to find the source of all this and have a chance to end it. This can be regarded as giving them an explanation and letting them rest in peace. But now you have become negative and pessimistic, pushing all the responsibilities on yourself. If you are really like this, how can you reach the height expected by Master in the future?"

"Dazhi, cheer up, you are the backbone here now, you must not give up lightly!"

I looked up at Tingting in surprise, her eyes were full of distress and tenacity, which made me extremely ashamed.That's right, even she hasn't given up yet, so why am I complaining and being so pessimistic here.

Taking a deep breath, I stood up slowly, hugged Tingting into my arms, and said softly: "I understand, Tingting thank you, I will not be in this state again in the future."

After speaking, I took Tingting back to the guest house, and found that the village head had already got the strength to get up and was limping and trying to escape.I stepped forward and kicked him to the ground again, and the village chief screamed again, "Ouch".

"Tell me the secret about the Devouring Array and how to crack it, otherwise I will never let you go!"

The village head glanced at me, and said with a sneer, "You have already discovered it? They have all contributed their souls to the master, so that the master will come faster. You can't stop it, and I will never tell you about the spirit devouring." The solution to the array!"

After finishing speaking, the village chief turned his head away, as if he would rather die than surrender.Tingting and I looked at each other, and without further ado, we tied up the village chief and dragged him towards the ancestral hall.

We called the names of Wang Tian and others along the way, but we never got a response.However, the village chief also confessed that he wanted to sneak away while Wang Tian and the others were leaving, and then I bumped into him.As for where they went, even he didn't know.

When he arrived at the ancestral hall, the village head immediately showed a look of awe and fear, and began to struggle crazily. While struggling, he roared: "Let me go, I will never go in! This is the master's house." Forbidden place, if I go in, the master will let me never be reincarnated!"

"You will end up in the same way if you fall into my hands. You have no choice."

I indifferently pushed him into the ancestral hall and brought him to the front of the Devouring Formation.The village chief took a look at the spirit devouring array, and knelt down directly, kowtowed and howled: "Master, I didn't mean to offend you, but these guys forced me! If you see it, you must Take revenge for me and make their lives worse than death!"
