Chapter 25 25. Weird
There was fire in Xu Qing's eyes.

Look in all directions and observe the various kinds of "Qi" that are constantly flowing and constantly arising and perishing.

"what happened?"

After a while, Fatty Li noticed the change in Xu Qing's expression and asked hurriedly.

"Something is wrong." Xu Qing's eyes flickered with something strange: "The atmosphere here is a little bit wrong. Maybe in this incident, it's not monsters or ghosts that are causing trouble."

"If it's not a monster? Then what could it be?" Chen Ziming asked.

Xu Qing's eyes suddenly fixed: "It should be a monster, and it should be a newly unearthed burial object."

"Monster?"

"Hmm?" Xu Qing said as he walked, "As the saying goes, things become strange when they get old. Some strange things formed by objects are called monsters."

Fatty Li's eyes flickered. "Do you suspect that the one causing trouble in this village is not a monster, but a monster transformed from an object?"

"But Xu Qing, how do you know it's a newly unearthed burial object?"

Xu Qing did not hide it: "I have the ability to observe Qi. Although the Qi around me is very complicated and difficult to distinguish, I still caught a trace of the strange Yin Qi."

Everything in the world has its own unique atmosphere.

such as,

People have their own popularity, monsters have their own monster aura, and demons have their own demonic aura.

Only the strange air is divided into yin and yang.

The strange air of Yang refers to the air emitted by those ancient ingenious objects.

The so-called ingenious objects are those things that the makers have poured their heart and soul into making.

Some of these things have some magical properties from the moment they are created because the makers themselves have skills that are close to Taoism.

But more,

In fact, they have been passed from one person to another, from one generation to another, over the course of thousands of years since they were made.

Influenced by the strong emotions of generations of owners, intelligence was gradually born and supernatural powers were awakened.

This kind of monster is born mysterious because it carries the emotions and desires of countless people, so its aura is the most intense and colorful.

The strange and evil air mostly refers to the air emitted by burial objects and objects that are permeated with evil spirits.

Funerary objects are buried deep in tombs, accompanying the dead day and night.

Long-term exposure to negative energy, deathly energy, and even the resentment of those who died unjustly or suddenly, may lead to certain evil things if the chance arises.

And now, there is a hint of strange and gloomy energy in this place.

The reason why Xu Qing directly guessed that it was a ghost weapon instead of another possibility was because the entire process of the monkey demon harming Shazhu Village was not violent.

Moreover, objects that are permeated with evil spirits are rarely seen, while funerary objects are relatively more common.

For example, a villager accidentally bought something that a tomb robber dug out from a cemetery.

Following the guidance of that strange yin energy.

Xu Qing walked to the door of a house, stood at the door and looked at the grass in the corner. After two or three breaths, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up:
"caught you!"

The moment the sound fell.

A dark shadow suddenly jumped out from the bushes.

There were flashes of red and cold light in the dark shadows.

Xu Qing's expression remained unchanged. He stretched out one hand like a dragon's claw and pressed down the head of the monkey demon that suddenly jumped out of the bushes.

And then stick to it!
boom--

The wind howled strongly and the wild grass hunched low.

Xu Qing looked at the monkey demon that he had pierced into the ground and smiled, the blood in his arms surging.

The qi and blood are masculine and naturally restrain the evil spirits in the world.

So next we can see,
The moment the monkey demon touched the blood and energy stimulated by Xu Qing's hand, it twisted its body wildly as if it had touched a burning flame, and let out a series of miserable cries.

At the same time, wisps of black gas visible to the naked eye rose from the monkey demon.

The monkey demon in his hand struggled more and more violently, but Xu Qing remained motionless.

Just keep stimulating the qi and blood in your hands.

As time went by, the monkey monster under the palm's hand became weaker and weaker, and its body gradually shrank.

When Xu Qing let go of his hand, he saw a palm-sized stone monkey statue covered in blood lying in the grass.

"No wonder that punch just now didn't blow your head off." Xu Qing picked up the palm-sized stone monkey statue, "It turns out that your real body is a stone." From the time Xu Qing walked to the door to the time he attacked, all the changes took just a few breaths.

Before Fatty Li and Chen Ziming could react, the battle was over.

"Xu Qing, is this thing the monster that is harming the village?" Fatty Li walked forward quickly.

"Yes." Xu Qing nodded. "The monkey demon that I just fought with that warrior named Liu was actually transformed from it."

"During the fight just now, the strong smell of blood on this thing covered up its strange aura. If you don't observe carefully, at first glance you would think it is just a monster in the form of a monkey."

“I was almost fooled by it.”

"No wonder the government officials have never been able to catch the monster before." Chen Ziming sighed, "It turns out that they were deceived and mistook its true identity."

"You need to ask the villagers how they got this thing."

Xu Qing knocked on the door, but there was no response.

Considering the series of bad things that have happened in the village recently, perhaps this family has temporarily moved to a relative's home in another village.

Xu Qing and the other two went to the village chief's house.

When they learned that the monster that had been harming the village had been captured, the village chief and his wife were so excited that they could not express it in words and almost knelt down on the spot in front of Xu Qing and the other two.

They have been living in fear these days and have not had a single peaceful day. Now they can finally put their uneasy hearts at ease.

The most important thing is
It also saves a lot of money on hiring a ghostwriter!

"Thank you, three Taoist priests. Thank you, three Taoist priests." The village head and his wife responded in unison.

"You're welcome, Village Chief." Xu Qing waved his hand. "I have something I want to ask you."

"what's up?"

"Village chief, do you know this thing? I found it at the door of a house near the forest."

"this."

The wife of the village head next to her thought it looked familiar, and after thinking for a while, she said, "This seems to be something from Zhang Qing's family."

"Zhang Qing's family?" The village chief was stunned.

"Yes." The village head's wife nodded. "When Zhang Qing went into the mountains to chop wood before, he picked up a stone monkey statue. It looked pretty good, so he took it home for his youngest son to play with."

"Didn't the youngest son die of illness later?"

"Zhang Qing thought this thing was unlucky and threw it away."

"A child died?" Xu Qing's eyes were serious.

"Yes. The child seemed quite lively before, but he suddenly fell ill one day. He died after one night of hard work."

After listening to it, Xu Qing roughly understood the whole thing.

It is estimated that a tomb in the mountains was destroyed by rain, and the funerary objects inside were washed out by the rain and mud flow.

Zhang Qing, a villager from Shazhu Village, picked up a stone monkey statue used as a burial object. He thought it looked good, so he took it home for his children to play with.

As a result, not only did he lose his child's life, but also the livestock of many families in the village and the elderly man who lived alone died.

Think about this.

Xu Qing felt that the evil scourge in Shazhu Village might be far from over.

If that tomb could produce a strange funerary object, there might be other strange funerary objects as well. In addition, the corpse in the tomb
It seems we have to notify the authorities to search that forest.

"Master, is it this thing that has caused unrest in our village?" The village chief looked at Xu Qing's face and asked uncertainly.

Xu Qing shook his head and said no.

"It's just that I think it's beautiful, and I don't understand why such a delicate object would be thrown on the side of the road."

Xu Qing said this out of concern.

Although the village head and his wife appear to be friendly in front of him, they may change their expressions when facing the villagers.

In addition, if other villagers knew that they were harmed by this thing all these days, they might not blame the dead thing. Instead, they would blame Zhang Qing for bringing the stone monkey statue back to the village.

In the end, there is a high possibility that the family will be destroyed and all their property will be taken away.

Xu Qing was born into a farming family in this life. He had lived in a mountain village for more than ten years and had seen many similar incidents.

Xujia Village is barely okay, after all, it is a village of the same clan, every household has a certain blood relationship, and the village is small.

Liujia Village, where Xu's mother Liu Fang lives, is a large village with about 500 households, just like Shazhu Village. Some things that happen there are truly outrageous.
