Chapter 44
Silently mourning for a few minutes, Su Yuanshan took Xia Buqian and the little white fox to patrol the village again, and found that everything was as the Well God said, and there were no survivors in the village.
The hazy sky, the sound of the wind, the clothes hanging on the drying rack rustling, everything seemed so quiet, so cold.
This must have been a lively place, but at this moment it was a dead silence, lifeless.
The centipede demon and his gang seemed to have gone far away without a trace.
Su Yuanshan's eyes narrowed, thinking in his heart.
This centipede demon actually dared to kill a god and kill the Well God. This is no longer a small matter.
And this Well God happened to be his subordinate divine official, and this Liu Sang Village was also his jurisdiction. They dared to act wildly on his territory, clearly not putting him, the County City God, in their eyes, otherwise they wouldn't have committed the evil act of slaughtering the village.
Su Yuanshan looked at the hazy sky, his expression becoming colder and colder, thinking.
Good you centipede demon, you are hitting me, Su Yuanshan, in the face!
He absolutely cannot tolerate these evildoers acting outside the law. Since removing this blood slave can weaken the White-Browed Demon King, how can he let go of this opportunity?
Su Yuanshan closed his eyes and attached his divine sense to mountains, rivers, lakes, rivers, grass, trees, mountains, stones, birds, and beasts.
Finally, he expanded the range to the entire Nanliang County to search for the traces of the centipede demon, but strangely, the great demon seemed to have disappeared.
What on earth is going on?
Su Yuanshan was puzzled.
Could it be that this centipede demon has special demonic arts, or perhaps it has a magic treasure that can hide its body and avoid tracking?
This is not impossible!
…………
It has been three days since returning from Liu Sang Village. Su Yuanshan almost sent all the underworld ghost servants of the Inspection Division to search for the traces of the centipede demon, but in the end, he found nothing.
Outside the window, the full moon was bright, and the moonlight was like silver.
Su Yuanshan sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and quietly operated the Art of Perceiving Spiritual Qi, sensing the spiritual Qi between heaven and earth.
Spiritual Qi is like smoke and mist, winding and flowing in grass, trees, beasts, birds, mountains, rivers, soil, and broken stones, endless.
He constantly urged the Art of Perceiving Spiritual Qi.
Once, twice, three times...
After urging it hundreds of times, he sensed several small golden characters appearing on the spirit bead at his cuff.

After urging the Art of Perceiving Spiritual Qi thousands of times and sensing enough spiritual Qi, Su Yuanshan put away the Art of Perceiving Spiritual Qi, displayed the Art of Swallowing Spiritual Qi and Refining Qi, and started to swallow the spiritual Qi around him with full horsepower. The scene was extremely spectacular.
It seemed that the spiritual Qi of the entire Nanliang County was sucked here, causing the moonlight to ripple and the wind to blow. This was an abnormal celestial phenomenon produced by the flow of spiritual Qi between heaven and earth. The spiritual Qi of Nanliang County became thinner and thinner, most of which had been sucked away by Su Yuanshan.
So a short-term spiritual power "vacuum" was produced here, and naturally, spiritual Qi from other places would come to supplement it. The high-pressure area of spiritual power flowed to the low-pressure area, thus forming the wind!
Moreover, the wind became stronger and stronger, rolling up fallen leaves, sweeping across mountains, forests, houses, cities, and gate towers, gathering in the Huangliang County Chenghuang Temple, and all sucked in by Su Yuanshan.
This scene alarmed even the Civil Judge who was still working, and he seemed to be startled when he sensed the surging spiritual Qi.
He couldn't help but put down the scroll and brush and walked to the window, talking to himself.
"Which colleague is absorbing the spiritual Qi between heaven and earth? The cultivation method is so domineering?"
He clearly felt that the concentration of spiritual Qi in the Chenghuang Temple was soaring, and he couldn't help but operate his cultivation method to absorb some, but it was just a drop in the bucket for Su Yuanshan and didn't have any impact.
Actually, he was not the only one who sensed the abnormal fluctuation of spiritual Qi in the temple. Some ghost servants with decent cultivation also sensed it and shared a piece of the pie, and their cultivation improved slightly. Although they were not very sure who did it, they were grateful in their hearts.
Until the spiritual Qi returned to normal, they dispersed with regret. Although absorbing spiritual Qi was not as effective as directly absorbing incense Qi for them, it was better than nothing.
While Su Yuanshan absorbed the spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, he also refined it, and at the same time, he sensed that the golden characters appearing on the spirit bead seemed to have changed.

With the urging of the Art of Perceiving Spiritual Qi and the Art of Swallowing Spiritual Qi and Refining Qi, Su Yuanshan suddenly had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
Suddenly, a larger golden line jumped.

Su Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, pushed open the door, and walked outside.
Silver candlelight, cold painted screens, under the blowing of the autumn wind, the little white fox was chasing fireflies in the courtyard.
But soon it gave up the chase, lying on the steps, staring blankly at the Cowherd and Weaver Girl stars in the distance.
Su Yuanshan walked over, squatted beside it, looked at the cool night like water, and asked softly.
"Why, missing your parents?" The little white fox nodded and said in a low voice.
"I have had no father since I was born, and now my mother is missing too."
It raised its furry little claws, pointed to the Cowherd and Weaver Girl stars in the sky and the other two small stars beside them, and said enviously.
"Look how happy their family is! But I don't know. When will I be able to see my mother."
As it spoke, its voice lowered, and its eyes were a bit crystal clear.
Su Yuanshan was silent, stroking the little white fox's head silently, and suddenly said.
"I have decided, I will go to the Gumu Jinxu tomorrow. See if I can find your mother's whereabouts. Didn't you say she went missing in the Gumu Jinxu? Perhaps she is still inside, just because of some reasons she can't get out of the Jinxu."
At that moment, the little white fox's eyes lit up, and it was a bit happy. Looking at Su Yuanshan, it asked.
"Really, Prefecture Lord?"
Su Yuanshan smiled and said.
"Could I lie to you about this kind of thing? Prepare yourself. We will set off early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you Prefecture Lord!"
The little white fox's spirit was lifted, and it was clearly much happier.
The sky was as blue as a wash, and the sunlight sprinkled on the rippling lake through the thin cicada-wing-like clouds. A young man in white was walking by the lake, and a little white fox was following closely behind him.
The young man in white was Su Yuanshan. He planned to try his luck at Yunmeng Lake before heading to the Gumu Jinxu, to repair the broken sword he had obtained.
He remembered that the fisherman had told him that there was a sect of immortal cultivation near Yunmeng Lake, perhaps this sect could provide him with help.
Although he was a City God, he knew nothing about refining weapons.
However, where is that sect? It is said to be near Yunmeng Lake, but this Yunmeng Lake is huge.
Is it possible to find it bit by bit?
