With the three luck skills of two people, there is definitely no way to reach Indigo Hill in a short time. There are definitely many side quests on the way. What's more, Mengyun gave him a prop that can take more quests before he left.

The jade pendant given after the original shape is restored symbolizes not only the Dragon Palace that guards the sea, but also the "Dragon King of Taihu Lake" himself. In the future, small gods such as the Earth God and the River God may come to seek help with the breath of Taihu Lake.

"There seems to be some movement ahead."

Yingying's ears trembled and she suddenly looked up. Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, amplified the volume of what his ears could hear, filtered out useless information, and heard a sound a thousand meters away. A group of people were engaged in a fight, and one of the parties was at a disadvantage.

The weaker party had already planned to escape. The voices sounded familiar. It was the group of rangers they met in the ruined temple. They were following a caravan, but they ran into bandits who robbed them on the road.

We are out of the Taihu Lake area.

Only then did Lu Yan realize that they were already far away from Taihu Lake. There were no bandits around the big cities at all. They only dared to come out when they reached the wilderness.

"Let's go and help."

Drawing out the Bodhi Sword, he dashed forward while shaking the relic. A few seconds later, he arrived near the battle site and stepped forward with the sword in hand: "Don't panic, everyone. I'm here to help!"

The sound made by Lu Yan was extremely loud. The martial artists knew it was made by a martial artist with strong blood and internal energy.

The caravan members couldn't help but show joy on their faces, thinking that they had met a hero. The bandits sensed that something was wrong, and their leader shouted "Hurry up, the wind is blowing!" and fled at a high speed.

A scholar in white clothes, holding a white fox and holding a white sword appeared on their way. Lu Yan looked at them in surprise, and the Bodhi Sword trembled slightly, and the leading bandit's body was torn apart inexplicably.

After a "tough" battle, the few remaining bandits chose to lay down their weapons and surrender. The ranger who had met Lu Yan in the ruined temple looked at him, somewhat hesitant to confirm.

"You, you met us in the ruined temple?"

"Yes, it's me. Long time no see everyone."

Lu Yan smiled and bowed, and they hurriedly returned the greeting, each of them acting timidly and full of respect for the strong. He didn't care about it and casually asked about everyone's movements.

This group of rangers came to Taihu City just to watch the sacrifice. Now that the sacrifice is over, they decided to go home after playing for a few days. In order to return to their master later, they even prepared to take a big detour.

One of the reasons is to make some money by the way. Following the caravan and protecting the caravan can also make money. Both parties have to take considerable risks. Basically, no team will do this. There are acquaintances of the ranger in this caravan, so they will hire them.

The result was good. If it weren't for this group of rangers, the caravan might not have survived until Lu Yan came to help.

"gentlemen,"

The wealthy businessman, with a big belly, bowed to Lu Yan and asked eagerly, "Would you please come with us to the next town?"

"Okay, it's on the way anyway."

Xiang Yingying confirmed that they were heading towards Indigo Hill, and Lu Yan agreed casually. Suddenly, his left and right eyelids twitched slightly, as if something was approaching.

Chapter 391: Fortune Village.

Two days later, Fa Cai Village.

Lu Yan saw the outline of the village from afar. At noon, smoke from cooking fires was curling up, and the village seemed to be very prosperous.

The name of the village here is called Fa Cai Village, and it seems to have been changed recently. According to rich businessmen, every merchant passing through the village will be able to make a fortune in the end. Regardless of whether it is true or not, the rich businessmen think they have to believe it.

The geographical location is actually quite good, providing a resting place for tired travelers. As more merchants pass by, the village becomes prosperous and becomes rich in the true sense.

All the above statements came from wealthy businessmen. Lu Yan pressed his eyelids lightly, feeling that things were not that simple.

"So when did you change your name? What was it called before?"

In response to Lu Yan's question, the rich businessman rubbed his hands awkwardly, obviously not knowing these secrets. Lu Yan did not make things difficult for him and planned to explore it on his own.

He habitually reached out his hand to touch the demiplane, wanting to take out a piece of fish to eat. After groping for a long time without touching anything, Lu Yan withdrew his hand in distress.

The fake river god's flesh has been eaten and is gone.

Lu Yan also told Meng Yun about the fact that "the fake river god might be the result of some guys in Taihu City". After all, it might be related to those demons trying to replace the original with the fake.

The fish replaced the original river god, and the demon wanted to replace the original lake god. The connection was too strong to be ignored. After Meng Yun learned the information, he immediately notified the ground, but there was no result until Lu Yan left.

The mastermind behind this should be found in a timely manner. As a righteous god, the Dragon King has the intelligence and can definitely use his influence in the Taihu Lake system to find out more information.

"Oh, I hope there's something else to eat this time."

He muttered softly, and when the ranger next to him looked over, he pretended to be serious: "Everyone, we have to be careful. I have a feeling this village is in danger."

The rescued knights immediately became alert, but the driver in front didn't care: "You're overthinking it. There are still village soldiers in Fa Cai Village, one or two of them are very strong, and the landlord has even more powerful servants. There will be no danger."

The ranger did not reply and kept staring at Lu Yan. Lu Yan could not explain what was going on at the moment, but just asked them to notify the rich businessman and be prepared to deal with danger.

Leave the rest to fate and do your best.

It was just his eyelid twitching. Lu Yan didn't feel any strong danger, at least no threat to his life. He would save the rest of the people if he could, and forget about it if he couldn't.

As they approached the village, people came out from time to time and passed by the Shang Yi team. Lu Yan found that everyone had a happy look on their faces, with rosy cheeks, as if their vitality had been replenished.

But he narrowed his eyes. The energy flow was not right. Hidden beneath the vitality was negative energy.

It is not the negative energy carried by corpses or undead creatures, but life energy with malicious intent. It is violent and restless. If it were not forcibly bound to each person, it would probably take away everyone's life immediately.

Not only the original life energy, but also the vitality that a person possesses will be taken away as time goes by and the assimilation phenomenon deepens.

Monsters related to vitality, tree spirits, flower spirits, blood monsters?

Lu Yan made an estimate and got out of the car directly after entering the village. He watched the villagers and passers-by coming and going, and quietly summoned Daisy.

What is the condition of their souls?

【It's normal, there's no problem.】

They are all living people, and they can move independently. They also feel that they are living well, and in fact, they are all living well.

But what about those passers-by who leave the village? Do they live to old age with their vigorous vitality, or do they have their lives quietly taken away at the peak of their vitality, and eventually die of exhaustion and premature death?

Lu Yan didn't know that his in-depth exploration would determine whether he could get better food.

Following the caravan to an inn in the village, the merchant booked the best room for Lu Yan. Unable to refuse the kindness, Lu Yan agreed and joined the merchant's banquet.

The table was soon filled with food. When the last dish was served, the leading merchant of the caravan was about to say a few words as the host, but the waiter brought a plate of red meat slices.

What was strange was that as soon as the dish was served, everyone's attention was drawn to the meat slices. They kept swallowing their saliva, and the aroma seemed to rush into their noses consciously.

smell good.

"What is this? I don't think I've ordered this dish before."

It was just the allure that allowed even the merchant to maintain his composure. He blinked and asked. The waiter bowed with a smile:

"Sir, you may not know this, but this is the custom of Fortune Village. Everyone who passes through Fortune Village for the first time can get this 'Fortune Pork Slice' for free. Feel free to eat it. It won't cost you anything."

Lu Yan looked at the slices of meat and tapped the table lightly with his hand: "Can I ask what kind of meat this is made of?"

"It's our village's lucky pig. Look outside."

The waiter opened the window naturally. Lu Yan looked in the direction he pointed. The pigs in the pig farm were fat and strong. He could tell that they were indeed pigs, not transformed humans.

But the vitality in its body is still the same, violent and extremely aggressive. It is estimated that it has eaten something.

After the waiter left, he picked up his chopsticks and tapped the people who were trying to pick up the meat slices. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't touch it. There's something wrong with this meat. Tell everyone that we believe in Nimaism and don't eat pork."

Not only this meat, other meat dishes also have alien vitality, but compared with the meat slices, there are not many of them. Only the meat slices are special, and the Fortune Pig should eat more of them.

As for the Nima religion, it is indeed a small sect in this world, an extension of Buddhism. They believe in the true God, and one of their doctrines is not to eat pork.

"Sir, may I ask why?"

The merchant couldn't help swallowing, and so did the others. Lu Yan glanced at them and said, "Eat if you want. Your chances of survival might drop by 50%."

Lu Yan was not sure whether killing the mastermind behind the incident could completely eradicate the "Curse of Flesh and Blood". The mortality rate would definitely increase greatly after eating it.

Fortunately, after he spoke, the people here were smart enough to hesitate for a moment and think that it was okay not to eat the meat. If something really happened, it would be over.

After lunch, the waiter came to collect the plates and saw the "Fa Cai Pork Slices" still intact on the table. He was a little confused.

After learning that they were members of the Nima religion, the waiter did not force them to eat, but happily collected them, apparently intending to take them back and enjoy them himself.

After leaving the single room, Lu Yan waved to the rangers and asked them to check who owned the pigs that were being raised in batches.

As expected of the oldest street urchins, they came back with a report in just half an hour. It turned out that those pigs were raised by the largest local tycoon. They were of good quality and cheap, and he often gave them away for free, under the pretext of letting more merchants spread the word about the fortune pigs.

Chapter 392 The statue of God is the flesh.

The fat, white domestic pigs lowered their heads to eat. Lu Yan magnified his perception and felt the strange energy in the air.

The situation here is similar to that in "Ghost School" and "Taihu Lake". The entire village is connected by some invisible things. The difference is that the connection between the villages is deeper and is related to vitality, an energy with a substantial carrier.

Life force can be simply transformed into blood. As long as the person behind the scenes slightly triggers the violent life force, the people in the village will definitely explode in an instant, turning into blood and bones, and all their vitality will be sucked away along with the blood.

But the monster didn't do so, or the bloody and evil aura that Lu Yan had expected was not as strong, there was only a little negative aura in the air.

This means that the monsters don’t kill a lot, and even their actions are in line with the “cycle of nature,” which seems a bit too bizarre.

With his fingertips lightly tapping, Lu Yan continued to sense when he was alone, and confirmed that the entire village was full of monsters. He decisively took out the jade pendant given by Meng Yun, and shook the jade pendant to release a little bit of the aura of the righteous god.

This aura is not easily detected by monsters, but the ones who can keenly sense it are the minor gods and fairies who are also righteous gods.

A breath passed, and the floor of the guest room suddenly arched up. Energy gathered towards the wooden structure, and finally a human form appeared on the human-shaped puppet. A greasy-faced, white-haired old man appeared in the guest room with a cane.

He glanced at Lu Yan curiously, then bowed respectfully: "Greetings to the Taihu Divine Envoy, may I ask your name?"

"No need to be so polite, God of Land. Just call me Xiao Lu."

Lu Yan bowed and got straight to the point, saying awkwardly, "I've observed the aura and discovered that in the area under your jurisdiction, some inexplicable vitality seems to be entering the human body. It comes from those so-called 'Fortune Pigs'. What is this? Could it be a demon causing trouble?"

"If this is the case, you can tell me and I will slay the demons and monsters myself."

"The Taihu Divine Envoy has misunderstood, misunderstood!"

The God of Land waved his hands and told Lu Yan the story of the Fortune Village. It turned out that all this came from a good monster called the Ginseng Spirit, at least in his opinion, it was a good monster.

The ginseng became a spirit, and it received help from several generations of the landlords in the village of Fortune. Therefore, after becoming a spirit decades ago, it came back to help the village, giving the entire village its own vitality and allowing everything to thrive.

The same was true for both animals and plants. The one that attracted the most attention was naturally the landlord's family. Upon discovering that the landlord's family was showing signs of decline, he immediately used his magic power to fatten the pigs with more vitality, and also told the landlord in a dream how to make the village rich.

With its help, Fa Cai Village becomes more and more prosperous, and the incense of the God of Land becomes more popular.

As for the violent vitality, the ginseng spirit does not have the ability to retract vitality over a long distance, so people who walk out of the Fortune Village can spend several months slowly swallowing up the alien vitality and use it for themselves, and there will be no problem in prolonging their lifespan.

It naturally did so for selfish reasons, in order to obtain the long-term incense power of Fa Cai Village and the short-term worship of the passing caravans.

Now it has its own outdoor worship in the village of Fortune, and calls itself "Sancai Gong". It plans to seek the position of god in heaven once it becomes a little stronger.

Well, it’s a very good story told by the God of Land, but after Lu Yan summarized it briefly, he still felt unreassuring because the uncertainty was too high.

He had heard Meng Yun tell many stories. There were good monsters and bad monsters as well. This was the case when they gained intelligence. If they were slightly guided by certain things, their nature would shift from good to evil.

The probability of plants producing bad monsters is actually not high. As long as there are no corpses buried where they originally stayed and they are disturbed by negative energy and resentment, they will basically remain lazy after becoming spirits.

If it was planted by humans during its lifetime, it will most likely become a guardian god. In short, eating some flesh and blood and committing some murders after becoming a spirit will not affect its mind.

But if it eats flesh and blood filled with resentment on the way to becoming a spirit, it will most likely turn into an evil monster.

Lu Yan was worried that kindness was just a disguise of ginseng. After all, judging from the energy fluctuations in the air, it must have killed people before.

Looking at the kind-hearted Earth God, he used his spiritual consciousness to call Daisy back, and then said to the old man: "I understand. Thank you for telling me this..."

After politely sending the Earth God away, Lu Yan, who could not sense any prying, gestured for Daisy to come out. The apprentice little Death God from a different system frowned and conveyed what he saw to Lu Yan:

"His spirit and body are not compatible. He is being controlled by his own 'flesh'."

From Daisy's soul perspective, the normally normal Land Justice was shouting loudly, his face full of fear, but his body made of wood grown from the ground completely ignored him and was reconciling accounts and telling stories with Lu Yan in an orderly manner.

When the incarnation retreated, its screaming soul was taken away with it, as if something had completely bound it.

"The Earth God doesn't have a physical body, right?"

"The statue."

Yingying reacted quickly and knew the common sense of believing in God.

"Oh."

Most of the land gods were simply deified through incense offerings. Regardless of whether they were conferred titles after death or became village gods through the condensation of many beliefs, their physical bodies have actually been replaced by statues, and only one statue can be used.

Its current situation is probably that the statues have been controlled, and there is no guarantee that external evil will invade, and the interior is filled with flesh and blood.

"Can you see the trajectory of the power of faith? The mastermind behind this must be trying to replace the Earth God. Why are all the demons and monsters that I encounter along the way replacing the righteous gods? This rootless little god is so pitiful."

Lu Yan shook his head. Daisy didn't respond and fell into his arms, resting her head on Yingying's fur. She closed her eyes and carefully felt the flow of faith and spiritual power.

The noisy voice of the soul sounded in her mind, and Daisy repeated some information. The temple of Shencaigong mentioned by the "Tudigong" did exist, and the incense was quite strong, but the final destination was not a temple.
