It was supposed to be a sure thing, but I didn't expect my skills to decline after not using them for so many years.

Fairy Miaoshan couldn't care about appearances anymore. She cried out in anxious distress, flusteredly trying to catch the calamity object, but it was extremely fast and about to escape.

"Where do you think you're going…"

Just as she was in a hurry, a figure darted out from the side. It was Zhou Si姑娘 (Fourth Miss Zhou). Her skill and reaction were beyond Fairy Miaoshan's capabilities.

From more than a hundred feet away, she flashed in front of the Wuya Jun (Toothless Lord) and, with a flying kick, sent the thing that was leaping into the air back to Fairy Miaoshan.

Fairy Miaoshan was shocked and shouted, "You dare to kick anything? Take off your shoes and burn them!"

"Huh?"

Miss Zhou Si didn't react for a moment, still thinking her kick was quite beautiful.

Hu Ma flashed in front of Miss Zhou Si, removed the shoe that kicked the Wuya Jun for her, threw it into the grass, took out a fire starter from his pocket, and tossed it in.

Flames rose instantly, burning the shoe and the dry grass together. He turned to Miss Zhou Si and said, "Don't worry, I'll get you another pair later."

Miss Zhou Si had to stand on one leg, wearing only white socks, and subconsciously tried to hide her foot behind her leg, her face flushed red with embarrassment.

Looking back, she saw Fairy Miaoshan had entangled the Wuya Jun, and she shouted:

"A jar!"

"..."

Dou Guan next to her immediately threw away the gong, turned behind the tree, and then carried a large water jar and hurried over.

People in the Dao Zai Men (Disaster Stealing Sect) are good at collecting calamity objects. Some people use cloth bags, but Miaoshan specializes in jars.

The jar, from who knows whose house, was brought up by Little Dou Guan, but there was no time to care. Fairy Miaoshan flicked the silk thread and threw the strange thing, which was obviously rotten and looked like it had been dead for countless days, into the jar. Then she quickly covered the jar and chanted a spell around it.

Once the calamity object entered the jar, it could be slowly pacified with the chanting of the spell, completing the seal.

Although Fairy Miaoshan's basic skills didn't seem very solid, she had once raised ten jars of blessed corpses in the Yiqian Jiao (One Coin Sect), which was quite a large project.

Her method of capturing disaster was clumsy, but she had a lot of experience.

Now, when she chanted the spell, the effect was excellent, and the movement inside the jar gradually subsided.

But unexpectedly, just as the disaster was about to be successfully sealed, a few cries suddenly rang out from the direction of the village in the distance.

The cries were extremely sharp, abrupt, and only sounded twice before suddenly disappearing.

Immediately after, however, a gust of yin wind rolled in from the direction of the village, heading towards the mountains.

Hu Ma had just helped Miss Zhou Si burn her shoes, leaving her standing there like a one-legged chicken, but his figure flashed again and came to the doctor's side.

He had been watching Miaoshan search for and collect the disaster without saying a word, but his eyes always seemed to have a smile that was not quite a smile.

Especially when the crying sound rang out in the village, his body shook slightly, as if he wanted to leave.

Hu Ma reached out and put his hand on his shoulder, and said lightly, "You have to kill me?"

"For this, you don't hesitate to harm the people of this village?"

"..."

When the doctor saw Hu Ma came to him, he was not flustered at all. He just smiled and turned to him, saying:

"They should have died long ago. I just forcibly extended their lives to keep them alive. How can you say that I harmed them?"

Hu Ma narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Code name?"

He had already discovered the clues in the village just now.

A medical practitioner is naturally compassionate and heals the sick and saves lives, but on the other hand, he is accustomed to life and death, cold and ruthless.

The people of the Siming Men (Life Command Sect) can cure diseases and save lives. The sign of entering this sect is to be able to save a person who should have died.

And those who have entered the fu (mansion) understand what Shou (lifespan) is and can forcibly extend people's lives, allowing them to live or die with a single word.

But having this ability does not mean they will abuse it.

A person's life and death have a destiny. This doctor has been hanging on to the lives of the people in this village without knowing how to collect the disaster.

But if the calamity object is not removed, these people will die sooner or later, only to suffer these days in vain.

He has good skills, but he is doing this unnecessary thing here, there is only one reason: he is waiting for himself here.

And when Fairy Miaoshan collected the disaster, he also collected the Siming (Life Command) technique.

Therefore, the people who should have died would suddenly have their fate dissipated at this moment.

The calamity object originally did not collect their lives, so it was not powerful enough. Now that it was barely sealed, it suddenly seized their lives and became instantly powerful.

The trouble has suddenly fallen on this group of people.

"Code name Die Da Jiu (Trauma Wine), I'm honored…"

And when the doctor heard Hu Ma's words, he just turned around and smiled: "I don't have any personal grudges with you, it's just that this village was indeed harmed by your Hu family."

"If I hadn't retained their lives, they would have died silently. It is clear that your Hu family owes a debt, but I am afraid that your Hu family descendants don't even know it."

"Now I have let them wait for you to come, it depends on whether you are willing to let go of this burden…"

"..."

As he spoke, his shoulder sank, and a white light suddenly flew out of his sleeve, forcing Hu Ma to retreat, while laughing loudly:

"We doctors also make a living with knives…"

"..."

If Hu Ma took action at this time, he could still catch him, but he had already caught a glimpse in the corner of his eye. In the direction of the distant village, accompanied by the night that had descended on the world, shadows were floating.

Looking closely, they were all the appearance of the seriously ill villagers.

After a person dies, they should enter Zhong Yin (the intermediate state between death and rebirth), and then the seven corporeal souls dissipate and the three ethereal souls leave the body.

However, these people were attracted by the calamity object, and their souls had not completely dissipated, and their consciousness had not been born, so they were attracted here.

Once they approached the big jar, they would be devoured by the calamity object in the jar, and from then on, they would be completely destroyed in this world.

Hu Ma narrowed his eyes, without wasting any time, he reached out from Little Hong Tang's basket and took out a bell.

It was the one that Miss White Wine had lent him when he returned to Laoyin Mountain.

He shook the bell in the right direction, that is, clockwise, and it could add lifespan to the people around him. In the sound of the tinkling bells, the speed of those souls approaching suddenly slowed down.

Even an invisible force was pulling them, back into their bodies.

"When have a group of people who only want to become immortals cared about the lives of the people?"

"Reborn in this world, we have long known that this place is hopeless, it is better to cut the flesh with a quick knife."

"Since you have already boarded the ship of the Daluo Fajiao (Great Luo Dharma Sect), why are you still pretending to be concerned about the people?"

While Hu Ma was shaking the bell, forcibly extending the lives of the villagers, the doctor slowly raised his hand as he walked.

With a swing of his sleeve, clusters of fire flew into his sleeve.

Each cluster of fire was a hidden oil lamp around the village, which he had set up to extend the lives of the people in this village.

As one lamp after another went out, more people in the village could not hold on to their lives and died instantly.

In this instant, the calamity object in the jar struggled even more fiercely, and the bell in Hu Ma's hand had become hoarse.

After all, this Shou (lifespan) Cutting and Life Adding Bell was not Hu Ma's own thing, he could only borrow it and use it reluctantly.

Now that he was about to be unable to stop the souls of these dead people from leaving their bodies and coming to the jar, if he was not careful, the calamity object would become powerful in an instant.

I am afraid that both Fairy Miaoshan and Miss Zhou Si would be affected by this powerful calamity object.

The villagers would only become food for the calamity object.

"Quick, abandon the disaster and leave…"

Someone came running from afar, calling loudly. It was Old Suanpan (Old Abacus), who had noticed something was wrong, shouting loudly.

With Hu Ma and others' skills, it was not enough to save the lives of the people in this village, but it was enough to avoid this disaster, but should he avoid it?

But at this moment, Hu Ma seemed to see the doctor's sneer in the surrounding shadows.

This matter was caused by him. If he didn't catch up, didn't know, it would be fine.

Now that he knows, how can he avoid it?

He took a deep breath, his eyes stern and shouted in a deep voice: "Miaoshan, Miss Zhou Si, leave quickly."

"And protect me, don't let anyone mess up the direction within a hundred zhang (333 meters)."

"..."

Fairy Miaoshan and Miss Zhou Si nodded urgently when they heard the words. When they dispersed to the left and right, Miss Zhou Si turned back and said: "Call me Yingying from now on!"

"Yingying, my ass, what time is it?"

Hu Ma was speechless, but he flew forward, seeing the shadows of the villagers being attracted from the village, he simply came to the front of the big jar.

He quickly took out something from his sleeve, which was a bag with gold silk threads wrapped around the mouth.

It was the one that the crazy son-in-law of the Disaster Stealing Sect in Laoyin Mountain gave him in order to redeem his life.

Now that he knew that this place was related to calamity objects, Hu Ma naturally brought this thing with him.

But he also felt a little strange in his heart, did that crazy son-in-law know that he would encounter this kind of thing, so he gave him this bag?

Thinking in his heart, but he didn't delay, he smashed the big jar with one palm, using his strength skillfully, just enough to make a fist-sized hole.

The calamity object inside immediately drilled out of the hole. Hu Ma greeted it with the bag and directly packed it up.

The mouth of the bag tightened, and the things inside jumped around for a while, and then quickly became silent.

The things given by the daughter of the Zao Fu Sun (Blessing Sun) family's son-in-law are indeed stronger than Miaoshan's skills, and they easily suppressed the calamity object.

And with the calamity object collected, those souls who floated out of the village had nowhere to go, confused and wandering aimlessly in the forest.

Hu Ma raised the bell again and shook it in the right direction, and the villagers were all sent back into their bodies, waking up in a daze.

"Good Hu family descendant, good tool for killing evil!"

But while protecting the lives of the villagers, the doctor's laughter also followed: "Your fate is naturally heavy, one person is more than enough to top the entire village!"

"But I want to see if you really have the courage to carry the lives of the entire village on your back…"

"..."

In the shout, a fierce wind suddenly blew in the mountains. In the faintness, there was a strangely shaped, hazy snake that was raising its head under deliberate guidance.

In the wind, it seemed to smell Hu Ma's scent, and it was overjoyed, wagging its head and tail, and swam over, as if it had met its wet nurse.
