The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting with Gu Refining

Danhe Prefecture, more than a hundred miles outside Xishou County, Shaoshan.

There is a village outside the mountain called Yijiacun. In recent days, four madmen have appeared in the village.

The villagers were carrying logs and holding torches, making a lot of noise.

Four men in front of the crowd were tied up and the villagers escorted them toward the fields.

"Village chief, don't you need to report it to the government?"

"The official doesn't care about our small village. Burn these four lunatics to death and tell the villagers not to enter the mountain."

"The Niujia Village in the mountains has been attacked by an evil spirit. Some of the survivors are saying that evil spirits are skinning their villagers..."

The old village chief walked in front holding a torch, the villagers quickened their pace, and the four tied men were still roaring.

The four of them were kidnapped and burned to death by the villagers because they committed murder, arson, and defilement of women.

Villagers who are familiar with these four people know that before going to the mountain, the four of them were honest people, but after going to the mountain, their personalities changed drastically.

The four men had their hands and feet tied up, looking crazy and trying to bite someone.

At this time, three carriages came outside the village.

The three carriages were taking the main road in the village, and they were headed towards Shaoshan.

"Hurry up and stop them. Don't let them go into the mountain and get evil, and then come down to harm us." The old village chief greeted.

The villagers who were behind the crowd rushed to the road and shouted from a distance.

"Foreigners, please don't go into the mountains. There are monsters in the mountains that skin people."

"Everyone who goes up the mountain is crazy. There is something evil in the mountain."

They shouted loudly, but the three carriages drove straight past, ignoring their reminders.

The carriage passed through Yijia Village and entered the wild road to Shaoshan Mountain.

The first carriage was driven by a grandfather and grandson, Lao Huang and Xiao Fuzi.

Both the grandfather and grandson looked ugly. They heard clearly that the villagers claimed that there were monsters that skinned people in the mountains.

"Drive with peace of mind. When we get to the foot of the mountain, you and your grandson only need to watch the car and don't need to follow us into the mountain."

The second master's voice came from the car curtain, making the grandson and grandpa feel relieved a little.

There were four people sitting in the carriage. Shen Yushu looked out the window and said, "The villagers who entered the mountain suffered a disaster. I think there are still people who came to Baiyang Gate and stayed in Shaoshan."

Zhu Li asked: "Some of them are staying in Shaoshan. Could it be that the senior brother has not escaped from Shaoshan yet?"

According to the information discovered, the senior brother appeared in Shaoshan nearly half a month ago, and there was news that he was being hunted by the Baiyang Clan.

Now half a month has passed, and it is possible to be there or not.

"Eldest Brother may still be there, but he has probably escaped! The Baiyang Sect has left some people behind for two purposes. One is to use local materials to refine some talismans, and the other is to wait for Eldest Brother's disciples, which is the three of us. !”

"Should we disperse and go up the mountain to look for clues, or should we act together?"

"It would be safer to act together. Li Si is the only Yao Slave. There are two Taoist priests in Baiyang Gate, the two realms and two ritual realms. It is difficult to escape if we encounter him alone."

When a Taoist priest refines Qi, the first level is the one-qi level, where he can refine Qi and nourish Qi; the second level is to open two rituals and refine Yin, Yang, Water and Fire.

For example, those who refine corpses are beyond the realm of walking corpses. After refining the fire, they can cultivate corpse fire like Taoist priests.

Liu Feng had little experience in this, so he just sat aside and listened to how the two arranged it.

After completing the four or five miles of wild road, the carriage stopped.

Two people were left to watch the car, and eighteen people got out of the car. They looked around and saw the vast mountains and forests in front of them.

…

In addition to Niujia Village, there are several places where mountain people live scattered in Shaoshan Mountain.

Among the mountains, there are more than a dozen families of mountain residents scattered in one mountain.

Under the darkening sky, no one from these families went out, but smoke rose from one house.

On the mountainside, several grass and mud houses were connected closely together, and there was movement in one of the houses.

Listening to the sound, it was the cry of a young woman, and there was also the yelling of an old man.

After a while, the door opened, and a disheveled old man in green clothes walked out. His hair was half white and he was cursing.

"We spent three taels of silver to marry him back home, but now our son is gone. Serving me now is not the right thing to do."

The old man in green looked crazy, and there was still blood on his fist, but it was obviously not his blood.

He took a few steps to the kitchen, where a large pot of skinned meat was boiling.

"It still needs some heat, and it needs to be simmered for a while."

"If you keep howling, I'll stew you together."

The constant wailing in his ears made the old man in blue even more frantic. He rushed out of the kitchen and was about to teach his daughter-in-law a lesson.

"Hey, here are some outsiders. Real people have arranged treasures in the mountains, and they dare to walk on the mountain road!" The old man in green saw a group of people appearing on the mountain road from a distance, and he suddenly grinned.

On the mountain road here, there is a group of eighteen people who have been driving the mountain road for most of an hour.

When the old man in green looked at them, the eighteen people also looked up at the old man.

There is no other reason. Only one of the dozens of households in this area has smoke from cooking.

"The old man's crazy expression may have something to do with Baiyang Clan." Liu Feng saw it most clearly.

Behind the three brothers, a scar-faced bandit stood up and said, "Fourth Master, I'm going to grab that old guy and question him."

Liu Feng glanced at the scar-faced bandit and nodded lightly. Zhu Li and Shen Yushu on the side did not object.

Just the next moment, something bizarre happened.

The scar-faced bandit had not gone far, and disappeared without a trace.

The seventeen people's eyes were sharp, all staring at the position where the scarred face disappeared, and they didn't notice the slightest movement.

"Let someone else go over there." Shen Yushu said coldly.

The remaining thirteen thieves couldn't help but clenched the steel knives in their hands. The thief known as Ah Bao gritted his teeth and rushed to the place where the scar-faced thief disappeared without making a sound.

Under the dim sky, he quickly stood on the mountain path and did not disappear.

"Second Master, let me look for the scar."

After the words fell, he turned around and took a few steps, just like the thief before, he disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The number of eighteen people was suddenly reduced by two, and the twelve thieves and bandits here all had gloomy expressions.

They know in their hearts that they and others are being used as abandoned sons, so they are not afraid of a simple death, but it is still unavoidable for them to be frightened when faced with evil things.

Among the twelve thieves, the bald bandit was the leader. He said with a fierce look in his eyes: "You three, let twelve of us go there together. I don't believe that we can't take down an old guy."

Five ivy branches extended from Shen Yushu's body. He said calmly: "Tie them all with ivy and let's go there together."

Sixteen people, including Yao Nu Li Si, were tied together.

The compound eyes on Liu Feng's face opened quietly, and nothing strange was seen.

Immediately afterwards, Dharma Eye and Zen Eye were used successively to confirm that it was not a blinding method.

Unable to figure out the mystery, Liu Feng said solemnly: "How about changing positions and walking around to the mountainside."

"As expected, wherever there may be clues, the Baiyang Sect has arranged means. It is the same as not changing." Shen Yushu said solemnly.

The group of people said no more, and the sixteen people connected together through the ivy and walked up the mountainside.

As the distance slowly closed, Liu Feng could see more and more clearly that the old man in green was grinning strangely at them.
