Taoist He led a group of people and rushed to Jingu County the next day. Along with them were not only the capable men who had previously "caught the epidemic ghosts", but also a lot of useful materials transported in ox carts.

.

In Danhe's view, as long as these people and materials are brought to Jingu County, the "ghosts of disease" in Jingu County can be suppressed immediately.

At night, they roosted in a temple on the avenue, which was the temple of the social god or the earth god.

Along the way, everyone was hungry and thirsty.

"There is a well outside."

"There is water in the well, and it's still very clear."

"Then bring some water, everyone is thirsty too."

"You have something to drink."

"Would you like to cook it?"

"There's no firewood around here, so we can't demolish the temple, and there's no cooking stove either."

"This ruined temple has been unoccupied for a long time and nothing happened."

Before taking a break, Taoist He also talked to everyone.

"Let's have a good rest here today. When I enter the city tomorrow, I will see the magistrate of Jingu County and I won't have any rest!"

"But no matter how hard or tiring it is, we have done a great good deed, and we will be rewarded with blessings in the future."

"The gods are watching in the sky, the county officials above are watching, and the folks below are watching us. We must not slack off."

Everyone said yes again and again, and they would do their best when they said it.

But in the middle of the night, there was a strange noise outside, as if someone was rummaging through something outside.

Taoist He was alert and heard it immediately.

"who?"

He immediately turned over and his ears twitched.

"What sound?"

"Maybe a thief broke in."

The cattle and carts they brought are still outside. Those supplies are crucial and cannot go wrong.

Although Taoist He stood up very sharply, he moved around very lightly.

Everyone in the ruined temple was snoring like thunder, so he quietly walked to the door without opening the door, so he looked out through the crack in the door.

The cattle were tied to the well, and the carts were unloaded and placed against the wall.

He Daoren looked through the crack in the door and could only see the cow's butt, but could not see the car in the blind corner. However, he could vaguely see a human-shaped shadow projected in the courtyard, and the man was flipping the supplies on their car.

Taoist He suddenly became anxious when he saw it. He quietly woke up the two people nearby and whispered in his ear.

"Don't make any noise. There is a thief outside who is stealing our things. Let's catch the thief together and don't let him escape."

Then he looked around, immediately took off the stick holding the door, took two deep breaths and ran out.

"Little thief, watch and fight!"

Taoist He roared angrily, and jumped out from the door, ready to capture the "little thief" in one fell swoop.

But when I jumped out and looked outside, Taoist He's momentum went from roaring to silence in an instant.

Then where is the little thief?

Under the corner stood a grinning demon, hunched over under the eaves, with its head almost touching the eaves of the temple.

At first glance, this demon looks a bit like a ghost on a sacred mountain. It is not like the mandrill that appeared before, with its shiny black coat and strong body.

It's just that the black helmet that covered the eyes, ears, and nose was gone, making it look like there was only a mouth left, and the antenna on the head that looked like a ponytail and bun soaring into the sky was gone.

The demon was destroying the supplies they had brought, and when he heard Taoist He's shout, he immediately turned around.

Grinning and roaring, Taoist He instantly collapsed to the ground.

"ah!"

The stick in his hand also fell to the ground and rolled away far away.

The two people who ran out with He Taoist had just burst out of the door and were ready to cheer him up. When they saw the true face of the "little thief", they were instantly frightened and backed away.

"My mother-in-law!"

By the way, the door was also closed.

"Squeak!"

Taoist He rolled around trying to run back. When he heard the squeaking sound, he was so angry that he wanted to curse.

But he didn't care so much at the moment, because the demon was already walking towards him, ready to take his life.

Taoist He wanted to stand up, but he was so frightened that his whole body became weak and he couldn't get up no matter how hard he climbed. He became like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

But at this time, there was a sudden sound from outside the wall.

"Chu Lulu!"

There was a bell ringing outside, and the demon immediately stopped after hearing it.

The demon's power was so powerful that he directly carried the cart that could only be pulled by an ox on his body and walked out of the temple in a swaggering manner.

There was total silence in the temple, and everyone watched in horror as the demon left.

After a while.

Only then did everyone open the door and carry Taoist He in, who was paralyzed with fear.

——

On the second day.

Taoist He did not get up again. He was frightened and fell ill.

But when everyone was about to leave for Jingu County, they found that he was showing symptoms of being possessed by a plague ghost, and the people around him also fell one after another.

Most of the people who originally went to catch the plague ghost were now entangled by the plague ghost and became seriously ill.

When the city gate guards in Jingu County saw them like this, they were not willing to let them in, so they stopped them outside the city gate.

As a last resort, they had no choice but to return to the ruined temple.

However, compared to the disease on his body, He Dao was more threatened in his heart, and he kept shouting in his sleep.

"Ghost, ghost!"

"There is a ghost."

"The ghost is coming to take my life."

"There's an evil spirit coming, right outside the door."

Late at night, Taoist He suddenly opened his eyes and woke up. His mental condition seemed better, but his body was so weak that he could not even speak.

He quickly grabbed the little Taoist boy next to him who had not drank well water that day, and said to him.

"Quick, quick."

"Go quickly..."

Taoist: "Go find someone quickly?"

Taoist He nodded, then shook his head.

Taoist boy: "Go and invite someone quickly?"

Taoist He was panting and said extremely weakly.

"Tell Tao Master quickly, this matter is not simple."

"There are not only plague ghosts in Jingu County, but there are also demons that have never been seen in Jingu County, and there are even people controlling demons behind the scenes."

"There is something wrong with the water we drink. Someone has tampered with the well water. They destroyed our supplies because they don't want us to come to Jingu County to catch epidemic ghosts."

"The demon was controlled by someone that day. I heard the sound of bells..."

Although his body was exhausted and dehydrated, Taoist He thought about many things while he was half asleep and half awake.

When the little Taoist boy heard what Taoist He said, he understood why he was the only one among the people who was not possessed by the plague ghost, because he was so tired that day that he lay down in the corner of the room and fell asleep without even drinking water.

Taoist boy: "Uncle, I'm leaving, what will you do?"

Taoist He: "We have a way to cure this epidemic ghost. There is still some medicine left. It is enough for a few people to take turns to take care of it. The most important thing now is to tell the Taoist about the situation here."

"This man controlled demons and caused this plague of ghosts. This is a huge event."

"Be careful on the road and be sure to bring the news."

The Taoist boy quickly sent the news to Xihe County. After the county official Jia Gui of Xihe County and the Taoist master Lu Yinyang of Yunzhen Tao knew about it, the news finally reached the Shenfeng.

What they didn't expect was that the Yunzhong Temple and the group of witches on the sacred peak had already known the news in advance and had even made preparations before they came.
