What? 20jin?
Xiaocui stole 20jinof demonic honey??
Wei Xun was a little dazed, but he didn’t have time to think about it. He first asked Xiaocui to fill the thermos cup to deal with the urgent situation of the leaking honey and then called the young mink out. He let the mink pretend that it was sneaking out somewhere, but it actually moved beneath him. Then, using the body of the young mink as a medium, he asked the remnant spirit of the young fox to receive the rest of the honey.
After devouring and shredding the ghost hair, the young fox had indeed changed. Usually, although its belly could contain things, it could only obey Wei Xun’s orders and either take in things from the outside or remove things from its belly.
However, now the space in its abdomen had expanded by one-third, and the young fox could use its own strength to affect the items in its abdomen. For example, it could hollow out that giant white crystal block that was the size of two tables, and use it to hold the honey.
20jinof purified demonic honey was really too much, and according to Xiaocui, it was best to use pure utensils to preserve it. This purified demonic honey was very peculiar and extremely permeable, which was why it was leaking out of Xiaocui’s body. If he used an inappropriate container, he was afraid that it would not take long before it leaked out again.
That was why Wei Xun thought of hollowing out the crystal and temporarily using it as a container.
“Lama, Lama.”
He squatted down halfway, lifted the upper body of the unconscious Lama, and anxiously called for young mink and Xiaocui to trade honey under the covers of the Lama and his shadows. Of course, although Wei Xun had separated some of his attention to the matter of the demonic honey, he was also really checking on the Lama’s situation.
However, when Wei Xun’s eyes fell on the Lama’s face, he was startled. One had to say that previously, the dense black hair had been growing on the Lama’s face and he’d had a pale and dull expression. Now, Wei Xun judged that his breathing was steady, while his complexion was reddish black, as if covered with charcoal. When Wei Xun had been feeding honey to the Lama just now, his fingers had touched the Lama’s skin, leaving charcoal-like black marks on his hands.
Apart from his entire body being covered in black ash, the Lama had no other ailments. If Wei Xun hadn’t witnessed the terrifying appearance of the Lama changing with his own eyes, he would never have thought that he was still under the control of a certain force just now.
Could the act of dripping purified demonic honey on the Lama be that great?

Wait, his voice didn’t seem to be that hoarse? Why did he feel like his voice sounded as if he was full of energy?
“You saved me!”
The Lama finally noticed the person in front of him, who turned out to be the noble exorcist emissary! He found himself lying in the arms of the exorcist emissary. This, this, he was really too impolite.
The Lama reflexively wanted to sit up and found that his entire body was similarly full of strength. The current coldness in his chest was not due to the power of the devil’s curse, but because his cassock was soaked for some reason, and was still dripping water.
“You almost jumped into the ditch with some blue sheep just now,” Wei Xun said with concern, turning a blind eye to the slightly puzzled expression of the Lama, who discovered that his body was soaked in water.
Though, this happened because he tasked Xiaocui to fill the thermos cup with honey. Therefore, he had to pour all the water in the thermos cup by pretending to feed the Lama and spilt the water onto the Lama.
The Lama also knew that Wei Xun must have something to do with him being soaked, but he still thanked Wei Xun, “Thank you, Demon Slayer!”
It must be some kind of secret technique performed by the exorcist emissary to wake his mind up from unconsciousness! Most secret techniques from the legends were quite gory. Even if he was missing two organs, it was normal. But he was just soaked in water, which immediately convinced the Lama of Wei Xun’s ability. Then, he told him everything that had happened tonight.
“There were human skin monsters that sneakily attacked the scripture cave?”
Wei Xun frowned upon hearing this, and the Lama said solemnly, “Yes, the power of the devil has managed to attach itself to a human body. And it has become another human skin. In recent days, there have been traces of someone stealing from the scripture cave. It must be the devil!”
As for the Lama who had just regained consciousness, he served as a guardian to the temple with an iron rod, and he was the one who guarded the scripture cave. The power of the devil came and went without a trace, and was the best at confusing humans, making it impossible for someone to find it. But this time, the Lama realized what had happened.
“It must have been because I was in the same car as the exorcist emissary today, and I was tainted with your majestic aura…”
The Lama who protected the temple with an iron rod commended Wei Xun solemnly for a short while. Then, he talked about what had happened tonight. Making use of the time when he was under Wei Xun’s protection moments ago, he discovered that the power of the devil had possessed the old Lama who had been stationed in the scripture cave for decades. After discovering that the old Lama was secretly destroying precious scriptures, he was naturally unable to ignore it.
It was too late to summon someone to help him, so the Lama killed him with the iron rod in his hand. Although the power of the devil was stripped from the old Lama, it instead attached itself to the Lama who protected the temple with an iron rod. With the last shred of his soberness, the Lama left Xiaolin Temple in a daze and didn’t know what had happened after that.
At this time, two old wolves with scorched fur walked over and quietly approached them from behind. Seeing them, the Lama immediately pulled out his iron rod, intending to sweep at the wolves’ heads. However, Wei Xun stopped him.
“Wait a minute, look, they’ve lost consciousness. They are going to commit suicide in the ravine ahead, and aren’t here to attack humans.”
Sure enough, the two old wolves didn’t respond to the Lama’s actions and continued to move forward numbly. Seeing this, the Lama who protected the temple with an iron rod backed away, and Wei Xun also wanted to inch backwards to get out of the old wolves’ path, but the snow leopard refused.
It lowered its body and let out a menacing growl from its throat, full of hostility. To it, the two wild wolves were intruding on its territory, and they were completely different from the blue sheep and wild yak just now. It was not a surprise that the snow leopard backed down when facing the first two animals, but stood forward to battle the two wild wolves.
Although it was said that one snow leopard could defeat three wild wolves attacking it at the same time, Wei Xun was afraid that whatever was wrong with them would affect the snow leopard. However, before he could make a move, the two old wolves suddenly woke up. When they saw the snow leopard in front of them, they turned around and ran away without hesitation. This surprised Wei Xun.
The Lama wasn’t surprised and said, “The Snow Mountain’s Sacred Beast has a very good relationship with the Arctic Wolf King, and the sacred beast doesn’t want to see the Arctic Wolf King’s people be deceived by the Hailuogou.”
The Lama who protected the temple with an iron rod pointed to the deep ravine, but Wei Xun didn’t let the Lama get close to it. If he was bewitched again while approaching the ditch, wouldn’t it be a waste of demonic honey!
“This isKapala’s Hailuogou.”
The Lama solemnly said, “It is the reflection of the recovery of the demon’s power. This is a place where demonic energy has been suppressed.”
The Kapala Hailuogou mentioned by the Lama who protects the temple with an iron rod was completely different from the natural scenic spot Hailuogou. The Kapala he mentioned was a god who was bothrighteous and evil, and protected the land and snow-capped mountains in northern Tibet.
He held a godly conch in his hands. When the devil was about to resurrect and his power was growing stronger, he would use the conch to call for blood sacrifices, such as those blue sheep, yak, and the like that automatically jumped off the cliff. He would use their flesh and blood as a sacrifice to offset the pollution of the devil.
However, Kapala had both good and evil faces, and he enjoyed offerings of flesh and blood normally, luring wild animals to jump off the cliff. Therefore, Black Rock Mountain had no human inhabitants for a radius of ten miles, except for Xiaolin Temple. There were no people, and there were few wild animals. This was not just because the land was barren and the vegetation was not abundant.
Wei Xun thought of the densely packed ox horns and goat horns at the bottom of the ravine. It was not a recent phenomenon that animals jumped into the ravine, but it had existed since ancient times. Perhaps in the eyes of scholars and professors, some kind of frequency wave that was unique to Black Rock Mountain interfered with the cognition of wild animals, so that they would think they were still on flat ground and would not stop, continuing to move forward, which appeared like suicide.
“Judging from how Kapala’s Conch Ravine has begun to attract wolves, we can infer that the influence of the devil’s power may already be deep,” the Lama said anxiously.
He added that Kapala would only eat deer, sheep, cows and other sacrifices. No matter how greedy he was for flesh and blood sacrifices, he would never sacrifice the offspring of the Arctic Wolf King. He would only do so when the devil was about to awaken. To eliminate its influence on the earth, sacrifices with higher energy were needed, such as the two old wolves.
Like humans, too.
“The devil’s influence on earth is silently expanding. This is the only reason why Kapala’s Hailuogou would appear. You must tell the Lama in Xiaolin Temple immediately!”
The Lama who protects the temple with an iron rod couldn’t hide his anxiety and looked at Wei Xun seriously. “As the exorcist emissary, you must not go up the mountain at this time…”
“I’ll be fine. Just be careful on your way back,” Wei Xun said decisively.
The young fox and Xiaocui had already quietly completed the transfer of the demonic honey, so there was no more need for the Lama who protects the temple with an iron rod to act as a cover for their actions. Moreover, the Lama said that he, as the exorcist emissary, should not go up the mountain at this time. This may be because he was affected by the rules of the Travel Services.
Based on their itinerary, they would officially visit Xiaolin Temple tomorrow, so how could they enter the scenic spot in the middle of the night, earlier than what was stipulated in the itinerary?
The Lama didn’t care to speak more, and left quickly, not at all worried about leaving Wei Xun beside the Hailuogou that could bewitch humans. Of course, this was because the withdrawn and proud snow leopard was following Wei Xun. Kapala’s Hailuogou would certainly not bewitch him.
After the Lama who protects the temple with an iron rod left decisively, it made it easier for Wei Xun to carry out his actions. After his figure completely disappeared into the darkness, Wei Xun turned around and did not return to the base.
