Chapter 11 Slaying Demons and Eliminating Monsters

Two high beams illuminated the road ahead.

The taxi accelerated smoothly, the roads on either side stretching backward, the city nightscape quickly left behind.

Wei Yuan sat in the back seat, the long sword hidden in a package, not exposed. He already basically knew where the nascent vengeful ghost was heading. Judging from its trajectory, it was going to a mountain village called Da Zhen Village.

Souls that do not disperse become ghosts. What happened in that mountain village was the obsession of this vengeful ghost.

Wei Yuan closed his eyes, recalling the warning from the former Sili Xiaowei (Inspector of the Capital) in the Moon Dew Image.

Show no mercy, slay without pardon...

Wei Yuan's hand pressed on the eight-sided Han sword for slaying demons and ghosts, his expression gradually calming down.

As the Sili Xiaowei, he should rescue the people and slay demons.

This is his duty.

………………

The taxi driver finally stopped the car by the side of the road. Seeing that this place was neither near a village nor a shop, his scalp tingled. As he drove further and further off the beaten path, he worried if he had encountered bandits, but as a grown man, he was too embarrassed to say it, and he grit his teeth and drove here.

Only after Wei Yuan got out of the car did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The driver lit a cigarette, his lips trembling slightly as he held it in his mouth. He took two deep puffs, then immediately turned the car around, slamming on the accelerator. The steering wheel spun all the way around, and the somewhat old taxi turned sharply, roaring loudly as the engine was obviously given too much gas, quickly speeding down the mountain.

Soon, only a taillight could be seen in the night.

When facing the winding mountain road downhill, he showed no intention of slowing down. The red taillight drew an S-shaped trajectory in the night fog and disappeared.

Wei Yuan was dumbfounded.

It seemed he had scared the driver quite a bit.

He retracted his gaze, turned back to look at the mountain village, unwrapped the sword, took out the eight-sided Han sword, pinched a Poshaxiejue (Evil-Breaking and Evil-Exterminating) talisman with his fingers, brushed it over the blade, imbuing the blade with the spiritual power to slay demons and ghosts, and took out the Six Dings and Six Jias (Six Dings and Six Jias) amulet he had drawn, making a Daoist finger gesture to activate the talisman.

Only then did he step into the village.

Dense baleful aura almost surged over, forced away by the Six Dings and Six Jias amulet on Wei Yuan's body. The talisman on the sword also took effect, emitting a red light. Clearly, this village had been completely enveloped by a ghost domain. This was the place where the vengeful ghost had taken form, and where her own resentment was strongest, allowing her to exert her full strength.

The entire Da Zhen Village was deathly still.

Everything was covered in a layer of viscous, shadowy bloodstains.

Wei Yuan stepped on it, feeling somewhat sticky. Faintly, there were sounds of men cursing and women crying in the wind, not knowing from which direction they came. When he turned his head to look, the sounds would come from behind, sounding extremely eerie.

Wei Yuan's expression was calm. With his left hand, he drew the broken sword from his waist.

The Thousand Mile Tracking Talisman had been used, greatly increasing his own perception.

However, he did not immediately pursue Dong Yu's direction, but instead walked forward unhurriedly along the village, seeing that the houses in the village were still the same old low wooden houses. Looking in through the windows, the villagers had been pulled into the ghost domain, trapped in a state of being entangled by baleful aura, the three lamps above their heads almost extinguished, the other two also in a precarious state.

In this situation, it was only because they were possessed by Yin energy and baleful aura in their sleep.

A warding talisman could solve it.

And the aftereffects could be soothed very well with a mind-calming talisman.

However, Wei Yuan glanced at the villagers with painful expressions, and just turned away expressionlessly, his footsteps not stopping at all, as if he had heard nothing and seen nothing. He still held his sword and walked forward, but when he walked to one of the houses, his footsteps paused.

The baleful aura actively avoided this wooden house.

On the bed was a small baby, sleeping soundly.

Wei Yuan was slightly stunned, and then realized.

This was the child the woman had given birth to before she died.

After all, it was her own flesh and blood. Even if she was trafficked and forced, this newly born child was innocent.

Every child, before coming into this world, has no way to choose their arrival.

There is also no way to choose what kind of family to be born into.

But under normal circumstances, after being transformed into a vengeful ghost after encountering such a thing, the vengeful ghost would often devour such a child under the drive of hatred and resentment. Like now, after transforming into a vengeful ghost, she still has such restraint, not being corroded by resentment and killing this child, then she must have been a very kind-hearted person when she was alive…

Wei Yuan looked at the child inside, took out the last Six Dings and Six Jias amulet on his body, and pasted it on the door. A golden light flashed, and the ghost domain baleful aura that would have actively retreated from this place was completely swept away, and the child in the house was still sleeping soundly.

This way, even if there is a battle in a while, it will not hurt the child.

He pressed his sword and turned to walk towards the center of the village.

There was the only small villa in the village, built grandly enough, and out of tune with the surrounding backward and low wooden houses.

……………………

"Come on, drink, drink!"

"Brother Chao, I toast you, come on, drink."

Inside the villa's living room, a table of wine and dishes was set up. Compared to the time when the police and Xuan Yi were entertained a few days ago, this table of dishes was much more abundant, comparable to the big hotels outside the city. The short, thin man who beat his wife to death bowed and smiled repeatedly.

The village head of Da Zhen Village was also sitting on the other side.

At the head of the table, was a gentle man in a casual suit and gold-rimmed glasses. His temperament was like a teacher teaching classical Chinese, or a university professor, but he definitely didn't seem like someone who would appear in this kind of place. He sipped his wine and put down his glass, causing the man next to him who still wanted to persuade him to drink to awkwardly put down his hand.

Liu Chao picked up a chopstick of food and said, "Zhou Er, I won't say much nonsense. I don't care what happened to your wife. You want to buy another one, and that's the price."

He raised his palm.

Zhou Lao Er grinned and said, "Still five thousand?"

Liu Chao said casually, "Fifty thousand."

Zhou Lao Er shuddered, and most of the wine in his glass spilled out. He said with a bitter face, "Fifty thousand?"

"Brother Chao, you're not mistaken, are you?"

"You could sell me and I wouldn't have that much money!"

Liu Chao said, "Who wants your stinking flesh? Fifty thousand, a fixed price. This time, I'll find you one from the village, with a gentle temperament, so she can give you a son. How about it? I have some photos here, which one do you like? I'll bring her to you."

He took out a stack of photos.

Zhou Lao Er looked at them for a while, and thought they were all good, his mouth was dry, but when he thought of the fifty thousand yuan, he felt a little unsure of himself, and said, "Like this, Brother Chao, make it cheaper, can you make it cheaper? If this thing works out, you are my own brother, I will do anything you want."

Liu Chao slowly sipped his wine, not speaking.

Zhou Lao Er became more and more obsequious, and then he smiled and slowly said, "You're almost a round older than me, I can't afford to have you as my younger brother. How about this, don't you have a daughter? You give me your daughter, and then I'll pick out a good one for you, cheaper, ten thousand, how about it?"

Daughter?

Zhou Lao Er thought of his daughter, and a hesitant look appeared on his face.

The village head seized the opportunity to persuade, "Lao Zhou, you have to think clearly, a daughter, a wife, is there even a choice? You can always have another daughter later, if you miss this opportunity, when will you be able to save fifty thousand yuan, do you still want to continue your family line?"

Zhou Lao Er struggled on his face, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay!"

"But ten thousand is too much, eight thousand!"

"Hahaha, that's right, Brother Zhou is straightforward, come on, let's drink to that."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's drink to that!"

Liu Chao laughed and stood up, the few of them clinked glasses, all smiles, suddenly, the crystal lamp hanging above the living room dimmed suddenly, the room was pitch black for a moment, everyone was stunned, the light then lit up, and everyone suddenly saw a figure appear abruptly.

It was a woman, dressed in white, with bloodshot eyes, her body somewhat twisted. Under the hideous and terrifying death, one could still see her pretty features from before.

Crack, crack.

All the lights in the villa went out.

The faces of the three people in the room suddenly turned pale.

………………

Wei Yuan stood in front of the villa, his right hand pressing on the hilt of his sword, looking up.

Resentment, baleful aura, and the stench of blood were intertwined in this villa.

From inside came the sounds of shrill screams from time to time.

………………

Liu Chao was breathing heavily, running forward in a disheveled manner.

In his hand, he was clutching a white jade amulet.

His money was tainted with blood, it was dirty.

He knew it himself.

But once you've tasted money that is so easily obtained, you can't help but stop honestly earning it, it's not my fault, you can't blame me!!

But doing too much, one becomes superstitious.

He bought this amulet.

Originally, he just wanted to spend money for peace of mind, but today, it was this amulet that saved his life.

So ghosts really do exist in the world!

Dead, all dead.

He saw Zhou Lao Er being stabbed repeatedly in the stomach by the female ghost with the knife in her hand. Pulling it out pulled out a large string of internal organs. He saw the village head try to run, but he was grabbed by the female ghost, who stabbed the knife into his neck, and blood spurted out very high.

Next, next is me?

No, no.

I don't want to die!

I won't do this anymore, I'll never do it again!

When I get out, when I get out, I will donate money to that Taoist temple, I, I will do one good deed every day, I will atone for my sins, save me, save me...

The amulet in his hand guided the way, and Liu Chao actually rushed out of the ghost wall and saw the villa gate.

He was overjoyed, and scrambled out.

When he saw someone outside, he was even more overjoyed, and ran while shouting:

"Help, save..."

He ran towards Wei Yuan.

Then he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

Wei Yuan's expression was indifferent. The heavy hilt of the eight-sided Han sword heavily struck the man's abdomen. With his current physique, this move almost took half of Liu Chao's life. He spun around, took the amulet, and then heavily kneed Liu Chao, knocking him back into the vengeful ghost's ghost domain.

Liu Chao coughed violently, seeing that the gate in front of him had once again turned into a wall.

He unwillingly threw himself on the door, only to find a hard wall. He hammered the wall heavily, roaring madly and desperately:

"No, you can't do this!"

"This is murder, murder, let me out, let me out!!"

"You let me out, I'll give you money, I have a lot of money, how much do you want, three million, five million? I'll give it all to you, save me, save me..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

Behind him, the woman's white clothes turned blood-colored, and the short knife in her hand kept dripping blood.

Outside the door, Wei Yuan slowly sheathed his sword. The Thousand Mile Tracking Talisman was still in effect, and he sensed an unusual aura nearby, his voice calm:

"Who's there?"

An old man in a simple Taoist robe turned out, looked at the ghost domain, sighed, and suddenly asked:

"Why does the Taoist priest indulge a ghost to kill people?"

Indulge a ghost to kill 'people'?

Wei Yuan's voice was calm as he responded, pressing his sword.

"You're wrong."

"That which is abnormal in the world is a demon, that which is unusual among things is a monster."

"I am merely slaying demons and eliminating monsters."

Well, in the eyes of Wei Xiaowei (Captain Wei), Liu Chao and the like can already be regarded as demons~
