Chapter 1220: Doubts About Survival

The miners in the Rolling Stone Valley were all strong men. Fu Liushan used their yang energy and the blood energy of the garrison at the entrance of the village to set up several ghost-control formations. In fact, it is not necessary to defeat the enemy, as long as it is delayed until the reinforcements arrive.

The corpse puppet of the ghost king did cause a lot of trouble for everyone.

At the critical moment, the mine cave came in handy.

Jiang Lishui and others who went out of the village to welcome He Lingchuan were still in fear: "The signs were not right, so we hid in the mine cave. It was hard for the soldiers of the Situ family. I heard that there were some casualties. By the way, the corpse puppet was also knocked down on both ends."

"Normal." Are there still immortals in war?

"Later, I don't know why, the corpse puppets that besieged us suddenly fell to the ground, and the other evil ghosts turned around and fled and never appeared again."

Checking the time, it was exactly when He Lingchuan killed the Xuanlu ghost king.

The ghost king disappeared, so did the ghosts that were originally controlled no longer work for it?

"The ghost king should not appear again, you can work with peace of mind." He Lingchuan comforted everyone and gave some instructions to Jiang Lishui, who nodded and turned back to the village.

Now, the village is cleaning up the mess. There are not many villagers, and it is basically the Situ army who took action.

From the entrance of the village, Fu Liushan lit the heart-covering candle and locked himself, He Lingchuan, and Dong Rui in the candlelight range.

They all held their breath.

The Yangshan Chamber of Commerce and the Situ army had received orders long ago and buried their heads in their own work, pretending not to see them come in.

Fu Liushan and the other two held the heart-covering candle and slowly approached a private house.

The owner of the private house was a skinny man in his fifties, a widower, with nowhere else to go. The other villagers in Jishi Village fled, but he stayed.

When the three approached, he just pushed the door and walked out, but he didn't seem to see the three people.

Jiang Lishui came over and dragged him: "Come here, I just need to find you for something!"

"What is it..."

"Good news, great news!" Jiang Lishui dragged him away without saying anything, and turned back to look at He Lingchuan.

Fu Liushan raised his finger to his lips and made a gesture of silence.

This heart-covering candle can only block the sight of ghosts, but cannot block the sight of people. The widower can't see them, which means there is something wrong with him.

He Lingchuan still remembers that when he had a village banquet last night, this man seemed to be sitting at the next table and eating heartily, and he also heard his conversation with the people of Yangshan Chamber of Commerce.

The three of them walked in through the open door under the cover of the heart-covering candle.

The ground was surprisingly clean, without any dust, otherwise it would be embarrassing to leave footprints after walking a few steps.

The room was small, and it was barely separated into the front hall and the back hall by a large piece of wood, but there was no statue of the Xuanlu Ghost King in either place.

There were some round burn marks on the table, and He Lingchuan saw that it seemed to have been burned by fire.

Is this the original place for offering incense and candles?

Fu Liushan also came over and reached out to wipe the corner of the table. There was some powder.

Incense ash.

He looked around and saw that several places in the room were covered with gray cloth. He didn't know whether it was to block the ash or hide things.

The three of them didn't dare to stretch their minds here, for fear of attracting unnecessary attention.

Fu Liushan took out a bottle, dripped two drops of medicine into his eyes, and rubbed them. When he opened his eyes again, he could see through the curtain and see what was inside.

This kind of perspective can only last for a short time and has many restrictions, but it is enough for now.

He raised his eyebrows when he saw the curtain, and Dong Rui quickly gestured to him:

If you have such a good thing, give us some too!

The Heavenly Master really has many tricks.

Fu Liushan had to hand over the bottle, and both of them dripped medicine into their eyes.

It was cool and comfortable, and it effectively relieved visual fatigue.

When they opened their eyes and looked at the curtain again, they saw a palm-high statue sitting inside. It was indeed the Ghost King Xuanlu, but his posture was one hand holding up the sky and the other hand holding the ground, with a mighty look.

Judging from the material and the carving, it should be the same as the statue in Li Pozi's house.

Most importantly, after dripping the potion, the two could still see a faint black smoke lingering on the statue, just like light ink dissolving in water, with thin threads.

After watching, the three of them left the house and walked to the outside of the village before taking a breath.

"The old widower is still worshipping Xuan Lu at home." Dong Rui spat on the ground, "Look at the posture of the ghost king statue, holding up the sky and the earth, hehe, he really thinks he is a god."

"You are right to worry, the original Xuan Lu is still there. The one we killed in Mian Village may be another clone!" Fu Liushan just looked carefully, "The evil spirit on the statue is very weak, either Xuan Lu deliberately restrained it, or the power was greatly weakened."

How can the ghost king Xuan Lu, who has been a scourge to the central and western parts of Shanjin for more than 300 years, be eliminated so easily?

"This clone has killed one after another, won't it ever stop?" Dong Rui was irritated, "Has it used this trick before?"

"How should I know? I don't live in the Howling Forest, so how can I count how many clones the Ghost King has used?" Fu Liushan pondered, "But now that you mention it, I remember the clan records that more than 160 years ago, our clan leader Fu Xiong defeated the Xuanlu Ghost King and was also very proud of it, saying that he had eliminated a great scourge for the local area. At that time, he was wearing Luosheng Armor and could do what others could not, but was deceived by the Xuanlu Ghost King's fake death. After Luosheng Armor was sealed by Fu Tianlin, the Ghost King reappeared."

"But it has indeed become weaker and its vitality has been greatly damaged. This time, in order to snatch Luosheng Armor, it must have sent out its strongest clone." He Lingchuan said firmly, "Otherwise, why would it let this widower hide the statue and fake his death? This shows that it doesn't want to conflict with us again, at least not in the short term."

"It's time to go to the Howling Forest." The enemy is weak and we are strong, how could He Lingchuan miss such a good opportunity? "Kill it while it's sick. Otherwise, when it recovers, it will definitely come back."

Xuan Lu has the strongest desire for revenge, and he will probably start with the people of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce in the Rolling Stone Valley.

If this beast is not eliminated, the subsequent development of the Yangshan Islands in this area will not be peaceful.

Fu Liushan sighed, knowing that things are not that simple:

"From the current point of view, this guy is not difficult to deal with, but it is difficult to eradicate. Wait for me to check some information and think of some solutions, which may take a few days."

They are going to the Howling Forest, how can they not prepare well?

Dong Rui is eager to try: "Hurry up!"

He can't wait.

...

The news that the ghost king Xuan Lu has died spread like the wind throughout Bixia and the surrounding areas.

The Howling Forest has always been like a malignant tumor. The surrounding forces of all sizes are jealous of it, but they can never do anything about it. In the past, Gaopu State regarded Xuanlu Ghost King as a threat, but unfortunately, several attempts to eliminate him failed.

Unlike the White Hair Mountain, the Howling Forest is too special.

No one expected that after the destruction of Gaopu State, there would be a strong man who could get rid of Xuanlu Ghost King.

And it happened at this time!
