Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 412 Prison Ox Palace

The demon spirit spoke again: "You and I will not invade each other, just like in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, if you are unwilling to investigate further and let my servant go, I will stay away from you."

"Three hundred miles is the boundary." Shang Liangshan gave his bottom line.

"After one month, the boundary will be five hundred miles." The Demon Spirit said readily.

"Good." Shang Liangshan nodded and ordered the Thunder Dragon to leave.

His main principle in dealing with things is: if you don’t provoke me, I won’t beat you; if you respect me a little, I will let it go.

To put it bluntly, Shang Liangshan was very wary of the evil spirit and didn't want to provoke it.

This is a master who is difficult to destroy, so don't provoke him if you can.

In order to avoid being involved in major causal relationships, he concealed the matters concerning the flying zombies and the resentful demon.

The continent is already in chaos enough, so what's the harm in having one more flying zombie and vengeful spirit?

As for the ominous aura emanating from the latter, whoever wants to care can do so. Anyway, he will not take the initiative to provoke him. The right thing to do is to stay hidden and develop.

To trace the root of the problem, Shang Liangshan has not truly integrated into this world. The hometown in his heart is still that blue planet full of material desires, not here.

"Liangshan, Liangshan." The old patriarch's call came from the pavilion on the rock peak.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Shang Liangshan came back to his senses.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" asked the old patriarch.

"I'm thinking about what to eat later." Shang Liangshan told a white lie.

"How about grilled fish?" As soon as the topic of food was mentioned, Yihuo immediately became interested.

"Grilled swordfish is good, and it would be even better if we stir-fry some wild vegetables." Liu Weizi, who has become a foodie because of his association with bad people, suggested.

"Good idea, I'll do it right away." Yihuo got up and left.

"Bring it here and I'll help you." Liu Weizi suggested.

"No problem." Yihuo's voice rang out along with his figure at the foot of the cliff.

Shang Liangshan looked at the setting red moon, turned to the old patriarch and asked, "Are there any traces of ghost beasts within a hundred miles?"

There was a vague guess in his mind.

"No, Lao Shui and his men patrolled for 200 miles and saw no trace of the ghost beasts. This shows that they have indeed suffered heavy losses." The old patriarch responded.

"This is not the style of a ghost beast. We need to be vigilant." Liu Weizi frowned.

"Brother Liu, what have you thought of?" the old patriarch asked thoughtfully.

"Passively taking a beating without fighting back is not the character of a ferocious ghost beast."

“They’ve been hit hard.”

"Both sides have suffered heavy losses. Without a strong encirclement and suppression, the ghost beasts will not stay in the ghost land obediently because they need to eat."

"Could it be because of the distance?"

"Eleven days have passed since the war. A thousand miles is not a distance at all for the ghost beasts that like to wreak havoc."

"Then there is only one possibility." A gleam of light flashed in Shang Liangshan's eyes.

"What's possible?" the old patriarch and Liu Weizi asked in unison.

Shang Liangshan took a sip of tea calmly, and when he saw the two of them looking at him, he slowly said, "The elite ghost beasts have been transferred to the mainland."

"This..." The old patriarch and Liu Weizi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Don't think about it. I'll let the Eagle Guards go to the haunted place and take a look." After Shang Liangshan finished speaking, his spiritual consciousness moved and he communicated with the divine elephant carried by the Iron Wolf Cavalry and gave a reconnaissance order to the Eagle Guards accompanying the team.

When Liu Weizi and the old clan leader heard Shang Liangshan say this, they collected their thoughts and started chatting.

August was approaching quickly, and Heizi issued orders to all major temples to eliminate the ghost beasts and resume production.

From then on, the major temples began to rebuild their homes.

It has to be said that the existence of the Flying Zombie Legion and the Ghost Army has indeed relieved most of the pressure for the New Temple Town.

There is no doubt that as the two armies continued to grow and kill more people, the high-ranking ghost beasts took notice of their existence and gathered a large army to attack them.

As a result, the new temple town ushered in a rare period of development.

Yijiu seized the opportunity and ordered all the major temples to mark out their territory as prisons, set traps on the periphery, and use rivers as main transportation routes to connect with each other.

Of course, this is all later. What the temple needs to do now is to eliminate the wandering ghost beasts, resume production, and become self-sufficient.

In the Forgotten Township, after several days of exploration by the Eagle Guards, they finally verified one thing, that is, there was no large army gathering in the ghost land to attack one side, but there were many groups of ghost beasts that rushed out of the ghost land again and wreaked havoc.

What they have in common is that they are not very strong, but are very excited, as if they have discovered a new world.

“It seems that the elite ghost beast army was really transferred away after the bloody battle.” The old patriarch pondered.

"We have become other people's grinding stones." Yihuo said depressedly.

"We can change our way of thinking. The army of ghost beasts can be our whetstone." Liu Weizi said as he closed his eyes to rest.

"Indeed." The old patriarch nodded in agreement.

"I think the army of ghost beasts can't be driven away, and the war will last at least hundreds of years." Yihuo frowned at his guess.

"We can drive away the ghost beasts, but we can't drive away the ghost tribe, so let's just develop step by step." The old patriarch shook his head.

The world is too complicated. It's not just about fighting and killing, but also about open and covert attacks.

"Haha, I'm back." Heizi roared up from the bottom of the peak.

"Heizi, when will Laojiu and the others come back?" Yihuo asked.

It had been more than a year since they left, and he missed them terribly.

"Haha, he won't be back until the end of the year. He has a lot of things to deal with."

"Have the number of ghost beasts around the temple decreased?" Shang Liangshan asked.

"Just as the wise and powerful master expected."

"This way, they can resume production." The old patriarch was happy for his colleague.

The collected materials are limited after all. If production is not resumed, the new temple town may not last long.

"Heizi, have you ever explored the situation on the mainland?" Liu Weizi sat up and asked.

Heizi shook his head to indicate that no, they had to protect the sky of the Temple New Town, so they had no time to go out and hang out.

“When Taoist Xuanzhen arrives, we will know the situation.” said the old patriarch after taking a sip of tea.

"It should be a state of confrontation, otherwise the elite ghost beasts in the ghost land will not be transferred away. They should stay to expand the territory." Shang Liangshan expressed his guess.

"It's very likely." Liu Weizi and the old patriarch nodded, agreeing with this guess.

"Master, there is an emergency." Heizi said as he drank the tea in the cup.

"What's the matter?" Shang Liangshan asked.

"The Bull-Headed Ghosts appeared in groups, and they seemed to be heading for the wandering Yin soldiers."

"It's really getting more and more chaotic. They should be the people from the Qiuniu Palace, trying to recruit wandering ghost soldiers." Liu Weizi told what he knew.

The Qiuniu Palace is said to have been founded by a captive bull. It is very powerful and is on the same level as the Xiongsha Palace and the Yeyou Palace.

"Damn it, he really thinks we in the border area can be bullied. All kinds of bull-headed monsters appear." Yihuo couldn't help but curse.

"The strength of our Border Continent is not weak, but it is just a group of scattered sand. The only imperial dynasty is in turmoil, and it is difficult to effectively organize the major forces to fight back." Liu Weizi shook his head and sighed.
