The retreat room is cramped, surrounded by cobwebs and dust, and only two cross-window windows hang from the walls, and the warm sunlight enters through the glass, bringing a little light to the room.

A huge coffin occupies about one-fifth of the entire ashram.

“It’s all garlic, for exorcism.” The dean took the initiative to give Su Mo science popularization, and his eyes were also curious to look around.

After all, she had never actually been in this ashram.

“This is?” Su Mo’s gaze looked forward, but he just saw a skeleton in a priest’s uniform kneeling in front of the cross, his hands still seemed to maintain a prayer posture.

“Ouch.”

In the end, it was just a woman, and when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the skeleton, the dean let out an exclamation and quickly hid behind Su Mo.

“Don’t be afraid, it’s just a skeleton.” Su Mo comforted helplessly.

He looked at the picture frame hanging on the wall next to him, removed it and held it in his hand: “The clothes of this corpse are the same as in the photo.” ”

“Huh? Pray to the priest? After carefully comparing it, the dean’s eyes widened: “He is the previous missionary. ”

After determining the identity, the fear on the dean’s face actually dissipated by half, and he even dared to go directly behind the skeleton and kneel, and then began to make prayer gestures.

Perhaps, this is the power of faith.

“It turns out that you did not give up your priesthood, the church still thought that you left without permission, in fact, you have been here to fight the devil, I will help you explain to the church, you rest in peace, pray for the priest!”

The dean’s prayer voice was a little dull in the narrow space, and Su Mo looked back and forth, and his gaze finally fell on the second picture frame: “This is?” ”

The dean turned his head and replied, “He is Father Farr.” ”

“More than ten years ago, two priests came to run a church and prayed that the priest was attacked by the devil, and I think Father Farr will not escape the devil!”

“It’s hard to escape without enough mana.” Su Mo sighed faintly, and a lot of memories suddenly flashed in his mind.

Maoshan is one of the leaders of the Shangqing Dynasty, the right path, and there are doors to both the Heavenly Court and the Prefecture.

However, more Maoshan disciples did not enjoy this benefit.

Because in this world, not only cultivators slay demons and remove demons, but also demons plague the world and devour human beings.

Many Maoshan disciples died at the hands of demons, and even their souls could not be left.

For example, zombies, as long as they die in the hands of zombies, they will either become new zombies and become chaotic, or they will be destroyed by other cultivators, and their souls will be scattered!

This was originally a war between two ethnic groups, you die and I live, there is no mercy!

“There must have been a very brutal fight here.”

The dean had already stood up at this time and pointed to the messy surroundings: “Look, the Bible has been burned black, the holy water has been knocked over, and garlic is hanging everywhere, it seems that they lost the fight, and their lives were taken by the devil!” ”

“No way.” Su Mo squatted down and looked at the skeleton covered with spider webs: “If the devil killed him, how could the villagers of Quanchang Village come and go safely in the past ten years?” I see he won! ”

“It’s just that after winning, he committed suicide.”

“Suicide?” The dean frowned: “Why do you commit suicide if you win?” It can’t be. ”

“Look.”

Su Mo pointed to the cross that pierced into the heart: “This is the evidence, he held this cross with both hands and pierced his heart, which led to death.” ”

The dean looked at the cross, but Su Mo’s gaze was focused on the neck of the skeleton.

Finally, not long after, he found two tooth marks on a bone in his neck.

“Sure enough! That’s why he committed suicide. ”

“What reason?” The dean looked up and asked.

Su Mo’s fingers lightly rested on the two tooth marks, feeling the faint yin qi that had not dissipated clean for more than ten years: “After fighting with the evil dragon for a long time, it will also turn into a new evil dragon.” If you are bitten by the devil, you will turn into a new devil! ”

Hearing this, the dean fell silent, as if he had thought of something, but in the end he could not say it.

Su Mo did not continue, but looked at a black notebook in front of the skeleton: “This is?” ”

He opened his notes and found that they were densely written in English, with the time clearly recorded at the top of each page.

“It seems to be a diary written by him.”

“Diary?” The dean also looked towards the notebook, but she was dizzy from reading the English book.

Although she propagated the Western Church, she had never been to the West, and she did not know anything about Western languages.

“Dean, can you lend me this diary, and I’ll return it after reading it.” Su Mo suddenly spoke.

“Can Mr. Su understand foreign language?” The dean was a little surprised.

“I’ve learned it before, I can probably understand it.”

The dean hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: “Then, well, Mr. Su must be carefully preserved, after all, this is something left by the previous priest, and I am obliged to ensure its integrity.” ”

“I understand, then thank you.” Su Mo patted the dust on the notebook, wrapped it in a piece of white paper, and then stuffed it into his pocket.

When the two walked out of the church, they happened to meet Ninth Uncle and a group of people rushing over.

“How, what did not find?” Ninth Uncle glanced towards the church.

“Nope.” Su Mo glanced at the bats hiding on the roof in the dark without a trace, and spoke: “It’s very clean here, and no bats were found.” ”

“Strange…”

Hearing this, Ninth Uncle’s brows furrowed slightly: “I searched all around, and I didn’t find any bat dens, so where did those bats come from before?” ”

“Uncle Nine, what should I do then?” The village chief asked from behind.

After thinking for a while, Ninth Uncle replied: “Forget it, let’s ignore the matter of the bat for the time being, let’s quickly find a new water source, so as not to temporarily dig a well.” ”

The group left, but Su Mo stayed in the church, sitting on a wooden bench on the side while the sun was in the sun, and opened the notes in his hand.

Due to the long-term seal, the title page of the notebook has yellowed, a smell of decay comes from it, and the handwriting on it has become very faint, fortunately it can barely be recognized.

“July 6th: The church was built today, and it took me and Farr to spend half a year hoping to bring the light of the Lord to the people of this village!”

“July 7th: I preached with Farr in the village, but the people in this village seemed to believe in the local gods, and for a whole day, none of our believers were recruited… Alas, let’s take a look in a few days. ”

The next few pages were full of irrelevant chores, and in desperation, Su Mo could only choose to jump and read.

“August 9: Today Farr is a little strange, a man prays in the house, but when I go in, he quickly hides the prayer things, as if he is frightened by me.”

“September 15: Over the past month or so, Farr has behaved more and more strangely, often locking himself in the house alone to pray, I don’t even know who he is praying to, and Farr looks at me strangely, as if… It’s like looking at a piece of food! ”
