People, You don't deserve it

"Ah ~~"

The painful screams gradually diminished, but the excited roar of the earth ghost continued.

Duke got off the dog's back and left Thirteen in the tomb chamber, then went out to the tomb chamber outside.

The Taoists who had fled in embarrassment before were now tortured beyond recognition by the earth ghost.

The brawny men who had previously looked fierce and mighty were now hunchbacked, with gray hair, and their skin was covered with patches of muddy old age spots.

When Duke came out, the earth ghost was still grabbing a Taoist and exerting force, with no intention of stopping at all.

Seeing these people's faint looks, Duke frowned at the earth ghost and said, "Okay, stop it!"

Hearing Duke's order, the earth ghost's head rotated one hundred and eighty degrees, staring at the cat with red eyes and roaring.

"What's the matter, are you so excited to play that you don't know who let you out?"

Duke took out the Tu Xing knife from the black tripod space, hooked the spiritual rhyme of the knife, and shook it hard.

The soil-yellow ring embedded at the end of the handle of Tu Xing knife had just begun to tremble, and the earth ghost let out a painful roar. Its body collapsed into a mass of turbid yellow smoke, crashing recklessly around the tomb chamber.

In the painful scream, the entire tomb chamber trembled incessantly due to the impact of the earth ghost, but Duke had no intention of letting it go, just shaking the Tu Xing knife in his hand.

The body of the earth ghost continued to coagulate and collapse, and its body became smaller and smaller, and its breath continued to weaken.

Finally, after Duke shook it for an hour, he put down the Tu Xing knife in his hand.

As soon as Tu Xing knife stopped, the earth ghost also coagulated its body and fell in front of Duke.

The ghost that was at least two meters tall before is now only three feet long.

The earth ghost with red eyes full of fear and hatred towards Duke, as soon as it appeared, knelt down in front of Duke, roaring submissions and kowtowing constantly.

"I'm not like these Taoists, you can't fool me with this!"

Duke took out the Tu Yuan bag, opened the bag mouth.

"Get in by yourself."

The earth ghost looked at Duke in fear, turned into thick smoke and drilled into the bag.

As soon as the earth ghost entered the bag, the Tu Yuan bag automatically tightened, bulging inside, but there was no substantial weight.

After weighing the Tu Yuan bag in his hand, Duke put the bag and Tu Xing knife into the black tripod space together.

After doing all this, he strode towards those Taoists.

Each of these Taoists had tears of blood on their faces, haggard in appearance, and faint in breath, not to mention extremely miserable.

The Valley Road had been beaten beyond recognition, with blood and feces drooping outside.

Seeing these people in such a miserable state, Duke also had no mercy at all. Now he needed to interrogate these guys.

Duke took out a Xueqi Dan, crushed the elixir directly, and radiated blood qi out, covering this group of Taoists.

As the mist of Xueqi Dan enveloped this group of Taoists, the Taoists who were originally faint began to turn ruddy.

Duke looked at this group of disgusting scum with flashes of recovery and asked sharply, "Is there anyone else who can open their mouth?"

"Monster...Lord, what do you want to ask?"

A Taoist opened his eyes with difficulty and gasped a few times before saying with difficulty: "As long as you don't let that evil ghost come again, let me say anything."

"When did you start stealing children from Maocheng?"

Duke didn't ask all at once, and the Taoist said directly: "It started eight days ago."

"Eight days ago?"

Duke frowned. At this time, it happened to be the period of time before he broke through to mercury and silver marrow.

It was also the day when Menghulu made a sound.

"Apart from Maocheng, have you stolen children from other cities?"

Recalling the information he had heard these Taoists say before, the cat sternly asked, "Is it to make Xuehun Dan?"

"That's right, Xuehun Dan uses human return pill, that is, the full moon baby as the main medicine, supplemented by the fetal blood of hundreds of beasts and many precious medicinal materials, using the five channels divine fire for alchemy."

"Xuehun Dan can extend the life, make people become younger again, and one elixir can extend life by six years."

"However, after eating one Xuehun Dan, you need to eat it continuously without interruption. You can't stop it. Once you stop, you will reverse the five elements and turn yin and yang upside down on the spot, your whole body will shrink and you will die turning into a child!"

Chen Daoshi said up to here, panting a few coarse breaths.

"Who is Xuehun Dan for, and who is the noble person you mentioned?"

The cat recalled and asked sternly: "Is it for the elders of the Su family?"

"There are many nobles in the court, they give us Wutong Temple money and incense, and we make Xuehun Dan for them."

"Yes, tens of millions of gold and silver flow into our Wutong Temple every year."

"I heard that the nine surnames and thirteen hopes will also get a share of Xuehun Dan from us, among which the Su family, Cui family, Wang family, Cheng family, Ye family, and Kong family ask for the most."

"Su family?!"

Duke glared, "Qingzhou Su family?"

"Are you sure?"

Duke's ears flattened back, and the Taoist who had spoken out earlier also smiled bitterly and said, "Monster lord, do you think I have any reason to lie in this state?"

"One of my concubines is the one in charge of the accounts in Wutong Temple. She told me that the Su family gives the most, at least 10 million gold per year, and one gold is enough for a family's food, clothing and housing expenses for five years."

"I also heard that it was the elders of the Su family who wanted Xuehun Dan to prolong their life."

"Elders..." Duke's eyelids lowered, and his mind continued to search for relevant content, but he found that he had never heard of the existence of the elders when he was with the girl.

In his impression, Su Xiuming was the head of the family.

But now another group of elders has jumped out. It seems that the water in the Su family is much deeper than he imagined.

"Go on, what else does your Wutong Temple do besides making Xuehun Dan, what is the cultivation level of the temple master, and what is the five channels god?"

"Tell me everything!"

When the cat asked here, its tail beat the ground bluestone very restlessly, directly smashing the bluestone and leaving a whip mark.

Seeing the cat's attitude, the Taoists also told what they knew one after another.

"On the surface, our Wutong Temple is a Taoist hall dedicated to the Five Virtues Star Lord, but in fact it is just a den of thieves with a clean identity."

"Yes, our Wutong Temple only has one criterion for recruiting people - scumbags, scumbags and more scumbags!"

"In addition to Xuehun Dan, we are also responsible for human trafficking, finding people to abduct children from other cities and auctioning them off to noble families. Those who are not bought away are sent to those lower ninth-class gangs."

"Those children sent to the gangs have a better fate, at most they become entertainers. Those with worse fates will be stuffed into jars and refined into human medicine."

"In addition to human trafficking, we are also responsible for assassinations, manufacturing Wushi San poison, operating gambling stalls, and selling intelligence. In short, we do anything that makes money."

"We don't know how powerful the temple master is, but he looks no different from a sixty-year-old man. He has to ask the Wutong God for instructions before doing anything. It's more like the temple master is just a puppet."

"We don't know exactly what the Wutong God is either, we only know that everyone except the temple master who has seen the Wutong God has died!"

...

After listening to this, Duke pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Are there no good people in your Wutong Temple?"

"There are, most of them are young boys raised by some elders in the temple. They have pleasant looks to attract customers, so they are usually sent to serve the customers."

"Where do you keep the babies in Wutong Temple, and how many babies have you stolen? Are these babies safe?"

"The baby was placed in the underground palace within the View. We have stolen forty-six children so far."

"What about safety?"

"Although they will suffer some abuse here, when they go to the View, there will be people specially feeding and taking care of them. After all, they are the main medicine for the Blood Soul Pill, and the Ghost Eating Moon is approaching. We still can't gather enough children for the alchemy needed by the View Master, so those children will actually receive a lot of preferential treatment after arriving at the View."

"Does that mean there are still good people in your View?"

Du ke sneered endlessly, and the coldness in his eyes kept bursting out frequently.

"Monster Sir, nowadays, the world is just a layer of window paper away from the collapse of morals and ethics!"

A Daoist had just spoken out, and the other Daoists were also echoing one after another.

"That's right!"

"The world nowadays is simply people eating people. It's better for us to eat others than to be eaten by others."

"Monster Sir, you live in Mao City all the year round. Do you think this world is the same as Mao City?"

"Mao City is the Peach Blossom Spring described by the storytellers, protected by spiritual cats, and people live and work in peace and contentment, happiness and safety."

"But this world is not like this!"

"Yes, even in this Long Life Celestial Dynasty, it's layers upon layers of people eating people. The imperial relatives and kings eat the officials, the officials and scholars eat the common people, and the common people eat the livestock."

"When the livestock become spirits and turn into monsters, they will also eat the common people."

"The world is like this, how can we avoid customs?"

"Yes, it's not what we wanted!"

...

A group of people cried out, which instead made them look pitiful.

Du ke chuckled coldly a few times, took out a chicken egg-sized Solar Core Pill from the black tripod space and threw it to these people.

"You have made me feel sorry for you all."

"I'll give you guys this real yang pill, you can divide it among yourselves!"

After throwing out the Solar Core Pill, Du ke whistled, and thirteen also walked out of the room.

Du ke got on the saddle on the dog's back, and directly drove the dog to leave the tomb.

After leaving the tomb, Du ke breathed the fresh air outside, and also murmured: "I thought what I saw at Mount Yun was cruel enough, I didn't expect the world to have already deteriorated to this extent!"

"Alas, I wonder how the girl is doing now!"

"I must hurry up and finish things here, then go to the girl's side."

As the cat spoke, thirteen also left the tomb entrance and walked towards the woods.

As soon as the cat and dog left, the few Daoists in the tomb started fighting with each other for that Solar Core Pill.

"This pill was given to me by the monster sir!"

"Bullshit, it was given to all of us!"

"I spoke the most just now, so it's mine!"

"You guys, don't grab it. Let's split it up, one portion each!"

"Who wants to split it equally with you!"

"Hey, why is this pill becoming more and more dazzling?"

"Yeah, too glaring!"

"The pill cracked open..."

"Not good, it's..."

Boom!!

Golden sun fire swept everything around directly, turning everything into ashes. At the same time, the entire tomb collapsed, burying all sins and filth deep underground.

Du ke, who had walked out of the woods, heard the roar in the woods, the trembling of the earth's pulse, and also hummed.

"I wish you guys become pigs and dogs in your next life, just don't be human again!"

"You guys don't deserve to be human!"
