Chapter 654 Trial
The moment they entered, the scene around them changed.
"The first level of trial: During the next three days of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, protect the people of the entire village. The number of deaths must not exceed three, otherwise the judgment will be failed!"
Before Li Chengsheng could get familiar with the surrounding environment, a mysterious and majestic voice sounded in his mind, describing his trial mission.
The difficulty of the mission was not high. After all, it was only the first level. According to Li Zhirui, most of the enemies he had to face were first level, and only a few were second level.
A ghost of this strength poses no threat to a Jindan monk.
Just be careful not to let any villagers get killed during the Night Parade of the Hundred Demons.
"Are you the Immortal Master from Changhe Town?" A stooped, white-haired old man slowly walked over and asked in awe.
Li Chengsheng didn't know where Changhe Town was, and he wasn't going to admit it. He shook his head and said, "I'm just a wandering Taoist. I happened to pass by this place. I saw that it was full of ghosts. There may be hundreds of ghosts tonight, so I came here to help."
"Thank you, Master Immortal! Thank you, Master Immortal!" After hearing this, the old man was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.
Why does the old man trust Li Chengsheng so much? No doubt about his identity? Because he has never seen a demon cultivator, and in his long life, he has never seen a monk who did evil.
"Old man, you don't have to be so polite. Go back and tell the villagers to close the doors and windows and don't go out after the sun goes down!" Li Chengsheng warned, what would happen if he ruined his trial.
"What Master Immortal said is that I should go and tell the others now."
After the old man left, Li Chengsheng grabbed a white cloud from the sky and sat on it, waiting for nightfall.
"This Master Immortal seems to be much more powerful than in previous years."
"Yes, there will definitely be fewer people dying in the village this year." The voice was full of hope.
"Alas! I don't know when we can completely deal with those evil spirits and let us live a stable life."
"I heard from the old man that there were not so many ghosts more than a hundred years ago, but in recent years there have been more and more ghosts, and they have become more and more fierce. What a damn thief!" Angry, unwilling, but powerless.
…
All the whispers of the villagers reached Li Chengshuo's ears, which made him a little curious about this 'illusory' village.
At the same time, I am amazed that this stone tower can actually create such a real illusion! And hundreds or even thousands of them are built at the same time. I'm afraid only immortal weapons can do this, right?
The sun moved westward little by little, and the light gradually dimmed. When the last ray of light dissipated, the village that originally had some noise suddenly became dead!
Not only the one or two hundred villagers, but also the livestock they raised, did not dare to make the slightest sound! It's like this is an empty village, a village without any life!
When Li Chengcheng saw this scene, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he called Chaoyangwu out and said, "Ayang, you can transform into a sun and float above the village."
At this time, Chaoyangwu is no longer a third-level spiritual beast. In the past few years, after refining a fourth-level solar spiritual object, he successfully evolved into a fourth-level spiritual beast!
The blood of the three-legged golden crow of the sun god bird in his body has become more and more intense. The originally fiery red feathers now have a hint of golden luster, and the power of the sun spirit fire he swallows has also become much greater.
With the sun transformed into Chaoyangwu, those low-level ghosts can't get close at all, let alone enter the village. In this way, the possibility of accidents in the trial mission is much smaller.
Roar!
Along with a gust of dark wind, hundreds of strange ghosts appeared, roaring and rushing towards Li Chengsheng with green eyes.
The people in the village were shaking uncontrollably. If their mouths hadn't been tightly covered with hands, some of them might have started screaming.
He casually summoned a ball of sun spirit fire and threw it at the ghosts. Suddenly, a burst of screams echoed through the sky. The ghosts touched by the spirit fire instantly turned into a ball of ashes!
However, there are too many ghosts and they are relatively scattered, so it still takes a lot of time to deal with them.
But during this period, because of the protection of Chaoyangwu, no ghost entered the village, and naturally there would be no casualties!
After all the ghosts were eliminated by Li Chengsheng, he did not take back the Chaoyang Crow in a hurry. Instead, he waited until midnight before letting the tired Chaoyang Crow return to the spirit beast bag to rest.
The villagers have already entered sweet dreams under the warm 'sunshine'.
Early the next morning, everyone walked out of the house without talking to each other. With just a few glances, they knew that no one died last night!
"This Master Immortal is so awesome!"
"Yeah, I never thought that I could sleep on a ghost day before."
The old man and a group of villagers knelt on the ground, wanting to kowtow in thanks.
But before they could make any move, Li Chengsheng used his magic power to help them up and said, "You don't have to do this. We monks are supposed to kill demons and protect one side."
"Master Immortal, please stay a little longer." The old man prayed.
"I will stay in the village for two more days, and then I will leave after taking care of things."
When the time comes, he will leave regardless of the outcome of the trial.
"Thank you, Master Immortal!" The old man breathed a sigh of relief. According to the usual practice in previous years, the evil ghost's invasion of the village would only last three days.
The ghosts tonight are a little more powerful, but to Li Chengsheng, they are still ants that can be easily destroyed.
"It would be great if this Immortal Master could stay in the village."
"Stupid Shi, who is this gentleman? How could he stay in a small village like ours?" The person who said this didn't want Li Chengsheng to stay in his heart?
But he knew in his heart that this was impossible.
"well!"
Li Chengsheng, who was above the white clouds, couldn't help but sigh. In just two days, he couldn't tell the truth from the lies.
Facing this group of villagers who had their own thoughts, emotions, joys and sorrows, he suspected more than once that this was not some so-called illusion trial, but the real world!
But places like the Hundred Ghost Night Walk, where ghosts are rampant, have never been heard of appearing anywhere in the Xuanyuan Realm.
This made Li Chengsheng 'wake up' again, thinking that these villagers were all illusions and that it was all just an illusion.
…
"Three days have passed and no one has died. The test has been passed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengsheng felt his eyes blur. When the surroundings became clear, he realized that he had arrived in front of a small town. On the gate were three big words: Changhe Town!
"The second level of trial begins! The Ghost Division of Changhe Town is short of manpower and cannot cope with the coming catastrophe of thousands of ghosts! Protect Changhe Town for seven days. During this period, no more than nine mortals may die, otherwise the trial will be considered a failure!"
