"Monster! Stay away from me!"
Looking at the horrid monster covered in slime in front of him, Ye Tian's eyes were filled with horror, and he even grabbed a hoe from a villager's hand and pointed it at the monster menacingly.
"My name is Chen Su, and my Taoist name is Qingchengzi. I am not the monster you call me."
"Disciple, do not be deceived by appearances."
Seeing Ye Tian's cautious expression, Chen Su, dressed in a purple robe, smiled brightly and approached Ye Tian.
Just then, Ye Tian raised the hoe high and gritted his teeth.
"Monster, don't try to harm me! If you come closer, I'll fight you to the death today!"
Upon hearing Ye Tian's words, Chen Su's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a cold smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Seeing the change in Chen Su's expression, the surrounding villagers immediately shouted at Ye Tian.
"Ye Tian, what are you talking about?"
"He's just a crazy person, Master Taoist, don't argue with him!"
"Exactly, you've been scaring people for so many years, isn't that enough? This is a highly enlightened master from Mount Qingcheng who has come to our Niutou Mountain to accept disciples. If you offend him, can you afford it?"
"Our Niutou Mountain hasn't had a Taoist master come to accept disciples for many years. Don't ruin this great opportunity for us!"
The old lady who had shown disgust towards Ye Tian at the beginning cursed him even more harshly.
"Get out! Get out of our village!"
"Our village doesn't welcome people like you!"
To the villagers, the event of a Taoist master accepting disciples was a rare and fortunate occurrence for Niutou Mountain, and it could even elevate the status of the entire village. If Ye Tian ruined this opportunity, they would rather chase him away!
Looking at the malicious crowd and the slime-covered monster that was being praised by everyone, Ye Tian gritted his teeth and grabbed Er'niu.
"Er'niu, let's go."
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Er'niu hesitated slightly, seemingly unwilling to give up the opportunity to seek immortality.
Obviously, he didn't believe Ye Tian either.
Seeing this, Ye Tian no longer lingered and turned to walk towards the outskirts of the village.
Since they didn't believe him, their fate was no longer his concern!
As Ye Tian walked away, Chen Su, the Taoist priest dressed in purple, narrowed his eyes slightly and a strange smile appeared on his lips.
...
Since Ye Tian had traveled to this world, he had never ventured too far from the village. As he walked into an unfamiliar mountain path, he got lost.
After wandering around in circles for a while, the sun had set behind the western mountains, and the moon had risen, but he still hadn't found a way out of the mountains.
Fortunately, Ye Tian's headache had slightly eased, and the pain wasn't as intense.
Just as he was preparing to climb higher to get a better view of the direction down the mountain, a dark shadow about half a person's height blocked the path in front of him.
The dark shadow bowed respectfully to Ye Tian and asked, "Young man, may I ask if I look more like a human or a god?"
Hearing the dark shadow's voice, Ye Tian felt a chill run through his body.
It was a weasel spirit!
There was definitely something wrong with this world, whether it was monsters or spirits!
As expected, as the dark shadow approached, a weasel about half a person's height came into view in the moonlight.
Seeing this, Ye Tian didn't hesitate to turn and run!
He had no desire to interact with such a creepy existence.
But the weasel spirit had targeted Ye Tian, and every time Ye Tian turned around, it appeared in the direction he was heading.
It still maintained its respectful bowing posture and asked, "Young man, tell me, do I look more like a human or a god?"
But looking at this scene, Ye Tian felt even more unease, and continued to turn around to run away.
The weasel spirit was even faster than Ye Tian, and every time Ye Tian turned around, it appeared even closer to him.
Its eyes now showed impatience, and it bared its teeth, revealing a sinister tone in its voice.
"You've destroyed my cultivation. You're going to die!"
With that, the weasel's figure flashed, and it pounced directly towards Ye Tian.
Just then, a stern voice rang out from mid-air.
"Evil beast, stop harming people!"
Before the voice finished speaking, a purple figure descended gracefully in front of Ye Tian, blocking the weasel spirit's path.
He turned back and grinned at Ye Tian.
"Don't worry, young friend. With me here, this evil beast can't harm you!"
Seeing the familiar face, Ye Tian couldn't help but freeze in place.
It was Chen Su!
However, in Ye Tian's eyes, Chen Su now appeared in a purple robe with a righteous aura, completely different from the monster he had seen during the day.
"Evil beast, retreat!"
Seeing Chen Su protecting Ye Tian, the weasel showed no fear on its face.
"Taoist priest, this guy has ruined my cultivation. I can't let him go today!"
"If he doesn't die, my demonic obsessions won't subside!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Su's face turned cold.
"You little spirit, I pity you for your hard cultivation and am willing to give you a chance to live. I didn't expect you to be so stubborn and unyielding. Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
With that, Chen Su waved his right hand, and a sky-blue sword hummed as it rose from his back and flew directly towards the weasel spirit!
The weasel spirit was also determined to kill Ye Tian, and when it saw Chen Su attacking, it didn't dodge either. With a roar, it pounced directly towards Chen Su!
In an instant, the flat ground was filled with flying sand and a cold wind blew!
Seeing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel anxious for Chen Su and began to doubt whether what he had seen in the village earlier was really Chen Su.
Or had he really misunderstood?
Just then, Ye Tian's headache started to act up again, and the intense pain made Ye Tian hug his head and crouch down.
But in the midst of the crisis, Ye Tian still forced himself to raise his head and try to see clearly what was happening in the scene.
He discovered that as his headache intensified, the world in front of him became clearer, and the howling sand couldn't block his vision at all!
However, when he saw the scene in the midst of the flying sand, his pupils couldn't help but constrict!
In his field of vision, a horrid monster covered in slime was using its eight legs to wrap around a rotten weasel, and its forked mouth was greedily gnawing on the weasel's head!
Crack!
The half-human-sized weasel couldn't withstand the monster's gnawing, and its entire head was instantly gnawed off!
As if sensing someone watching behind it, the slime monster turned around and looked in the direction where Ye Tian was looking with its three eyes. Under the moonlight, its forked mouth continued to chew on the weasel's head in its mouth, and broken bone fragments splashed everywhere.
Looking at this scene, Ye Tian felt his stomach churn, and a feeling of extreme nausea welled up in his heart.
He didn't hesitate to turn around and run away.
Just then, the headless weasel suddenly straightened up its body, and its throat kept vibrating, producing strange buzzing sounds.
