No one knows how to catch ghosts better than me!

Although Li Yan is not qualified to say this, but with Soul Hooking Chain Divine Ability, at least he will have the opportunity to say this in the future.

Yinsi Soul Hooking Chain, special gram Yin Soul Divine Soul.

The reason why some ghosts and evil spirits are scary is that they are invisible and traceless. Except for Xuan Gate People who can use Divine Ability to sense and eliminate them with magic, ordinary people have nothing to do with these things.

And the underworld Soul Hooking Chain is also invisible.

As long as it is a soul, it can be captured whether it is a ghost Yin Soul, a living person Living Soul, or a spirit Divine Soul.

According to the information obtained, even if the Daoxing reaches a certain level, even Divine Soul can be captured and suppressed!

If there had been this Divine Ability, in the Wu Family Gully ancestral hall, if the warlock dared to possess him and cause trouble, he would be sent to his door to seek death.

This Soul Hooking Chain Divine Ability is different from Yang Six Roots Divine Ability. There is no need to use Yang Seal Yin Incantation control. It can be activated with just a thought.

Wow...

The sound of chains rang in Li Yan's ears again.

Apart from him, this voice can only be heard by those who have awakened Ear Mystical Power and can distinguish the words of ghosts and gods.

With his current behavior, he can only extend Soul Hooking Chain by one foot.

However, this is enough!

Li Yan came to the tree, his left hand suddenly reached out, and pressed it on the guard's head. Controlled by his mind, the invisible Soul Hooking Chain immediately penetrated into his body.

The guard's Living Soul has been swallowed up. Inside this body, there is only a ball of tyrannical Yin Soul, which exudes a cold and putrid smell, with a hint of the fishy smell of river bottom mud.

It turns out to be a water ghost!

Li Yan knows that Rampaging Soldiers has many sources, which are not necessarily ghosts, but may also be the resentment of the birth of dark and rotten things in the mountains.

The reason why it is called Rampaging Soldiers is because it is bold, unrestrained, fierce and powerful, so it is called "rampant".

The stuff inside is equally brutal.

After being tied up by Soul Hooking Chain Divine Ability, he was like a beating beast, struggling wildly and unwilling to give in at all.

Li Yan gritted his teeth and pulled it out directly.

His left hand was trembling, and there was a rattling sound of chains in his ears. He could clearly feel Rampaging Soldiers constantly changing his shape, trying to break free.

"Daoist Priest!"

Li Yan shouted loudly.

"Coming!"

Wang Dao Xuan spread out Cinnabar Talisman Yellow Cloth, and as Li Yan pressed his hand on it, he immediately wrapped it left and right, wrapping it layer by layer, and finally tied a few knots and stuffed it into Wandering Soul Jar.

Rampaging Soldiers Although invisible, he could feel that the yellow cloth talisman bag seemed to be wrapped with a piece of solid ice, and the cold air was constantly leaking out.

Wang Dao Xuan was still worried, so he plugged Wandering Soul Jar with a cork, attached Evil Suppression Talisman, and wrapped a red rope around the outside, beating two Evil Aversion Knot.

The chill was completely blocked, and Wang Dao Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Li Yan, the smile on his face could not be concealed.

Although he didn't say it, he could guess that the trick Li Yan just used was probably the inheritance he had received before.

I am not following the wrong person...

"Is this the end?"

Sha LiFei looked at it confusedly.

In his eyes, Li Yan just scratched the man's head, then tremblingly packed a bag of yellow cloth and stuffed it into the jar.

Didn't you say that Rampaging Soldiers is very powerful?

Why isn't there even a sound...

"Wouldn't it be nice to take it easy?"

Wang Dao Xuan smiled and shook his head and said, "Without Yan XiaoGe, I wouldn't dare to come and catch Wang by myself."

He said, pointing forward, "Look."

Sha LiFei looked up and was suddenly shocked.

I saw the guard tied to the tree, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, then his head tilted, and he completely lost his breath.

Wang Dao Xuan looked around, shook his head and said, "This person was harmed by Rampaging Soldiers, and the evil spirits gathered grievances. This place is full of evil spirits. I am afraid that he will turn into a corpse. I need to deal with it."

After that, he called Sha LiFei to put him down, found some open space, piled some dry firewood, and lit a fire. Suddenly, thick smoke rose up along with the smell of burning.

"Where's the one in the river?" Sha LiFei asked quickly.

Wang Dao Xuan shook his head and said, "It was too late. Then Pindao informed City God Temple that they would send a mage to deal with it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he came to the Wandering Soul Jar, lit the Three Incense Sticks, and inserted it on the red string tied outside the jar. "With this Rampaging Soldiers, it will be easy to find the Cold Altar Ruined Temple."

Sure enough, when Three Incense Sticks was plugged in, the green smoke seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and flew out towards the dense forest on the right.

"Over here!"

Wang Dao Xuan led the way, with Li Yan and Sha LiFei guarding them. They got into the dense forest and gradually disappeared.

Their direction happened to be staggered from that of Lu XiaoWu and others, heading towards different hills...

Cuckoo!

The bright moon shines on the mountain forest, and Night Owl chirps.

"Arrived, right here!"

After an arduous trek, towards midnight Zi Hour, Lu XiaoWu and the group finally climbed halfway up the hillside.

But there is an open space on the mountain, which is very flat. Standing on it, there are peaks on both sides behind it, which look like a dustpan or a chair. Looking down, you can see the river below.

Lu XiaoWu's eyes were full of excitement, and he took out the roll of cloth in his arms and compared it carefully, not daring to make any omissions.

Under the moonlight, there is a sentence written next to the cloth roll: Lord Lu, I gave it to you from this point to repay your kindness, Hou FaMing.

"Right here!"

Lu XiaoWu groped around in the grass, finally touched a rusty nail, and said in a trembling voice, "This is it."

"Quick, dig seven feet into the ground."

"Also, my father will be buried vertically!"

Click!

Sha LiFei wielded his long knife and chopped off the branches blocking the road.

Li Yan followed closely, his eyes full of vigilance, "Daoist Master, it's right in front. It seems there are more inside."

The three of them have reached the top of the mountain, but it is covered by dense forests and thorns, and they can only cut a way with a knife.

Finally, the three of them walked out of the thorny grass.

I saw a small temple standing on the top of the mountain. It had no walls, only one main room and two side rooms.

The three houses were all locked, but the locks were rusty, the ground was covered with grass, and the wood-cutting axes on the rotten wooden pillars in the distance were also stained with rust.

Wang Dao Xuan shook his head and said in a low voice, "It seems that someone once lived in seclusion here. Maybe he had an accident after going out and never came back."

Li Yan asked, "Daoist Master, what should we do?"

Wang Dao Xuan said in a deep voice, "Turn over the altar and destroy the temple!"

The three people's hands and feet were pretty neat. Wang Dao Xuan took out a magic umbrella with Yin Yang Bagua painted on it, and the tassels around it were all kinds of talismans.

Poof!

He once again breathed Spraying Water to open the altar, and then Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper, holding an umbrella in his left hand, making secrets with his right hand, drawing talismans in the air against the umbrella, and at the same time chanting. "The sky is clear and the earth is clear, Xuanqi shows its power, the heavenly king protects me, evil spirits do not invade, turn over the altar and destroy the temple, calm the soul and catch the essence..."

After that, he picked up the seal, pointed it towards the sky, ducked sideways, and then walked slowly towards the ruined temple with strong steps.

Li Yan This time, I can see it very clearly.

This is Wang Dao Xuan Western Xuan Lineage's temple-breaking ritual.

It seems simple, but it is very dangerous.

Previously, when the magic altar was raised, the magic seal was drawn in the air, which was to attract the evil spirit of Xuanqi. However, this thing has the energy of Solemn and Killing Intent. You must calculate the right time to avoid it, otherwise the ritual will fail and you will be injured.

Now Wang Dao Xuan is stepping on the Gang Steps, using the Dharma Umbrella to protect the body, and the Dharma Seal is pulling the Xuan Qi Shensha, just to break open the cold temple altar in front of him.

As for the Xuan Qi Divine Sha, it is unique to Western Xuan Lineage and is equivalent to the divine power of the Patriarch God.

Finally, Wang Dao Xuan arrived at the gate of the ruined temple.

Bang bang bang!

The dharma seal was shot three times in a row, and the dust shook.

Li Yan can smell that the decaying cold smell that originally enveloped the ruined temple has completely dissipated in the vibration of the divine seal.

Then, Wang Dao Xuan raised his foot and kicked him.

Bang!

The rusty lock broke and the temple door was kicked open.

Huh~ A rotten Yin Wind roared out.

Wang Dao Xuan's magic umbrella was blowing loudly, but he was not afraid at all. He strode into it, recited a few mantras, and slapped the seal on the altar table.

In an instant, Yin Wind stopped.

Li Yan Without saying a word, he strode into the temple.

When he opened his eyes and took a look, he saw that the statue was a Double Pupil Daoist holding a compass and carrying Treasure Sword on his waist. However, due to decay, the patent leather on the statue had fallen off.

On the altar, there are a row of five Wandering Soul Jar, three of which have been broken, and two are intact, but the talismans on them are withered and yellow, and it seems that they will break at any time.

"It's Jiangyou Ganzhou Baoxiang Sect."

Wang Dao Xuan looked at the image and said, "This method is firstly proficient in Feng Shui, and secondly, it is good at controlling Rampaging Soldiers to do things."

As he said that, he picked up a yellow copy of the scriptures on the table, looked at the name on the title page, and read, "Hou FaMing... It seems that he is still a direct disciple. I don't know what happened to this Daoist friend."

After a brief inspection, Wang Dao Xuan cooperated with Li Yan to seal the remaining two Rampaging Soldierss into Wandering Soul Jar.

"Okay."

Wang Dao Xuan was in a good mood, "These three Rampaging Soldiers, after returning home, just need to offer incense in front of Ancestor Altar, and train them, they will be good helpers."

Li Yan smiled and said, "Rampaging Soldiers is very vicious. The Daoist priest had better find something to suppress him in order to be obedient."

"Hahaha, that's natural."

Wang Dao Xuan smiled heartily and searched with Li Yan.

Although there are some incense and sacrificial instruments, they have decayed over time, and the Incense Divine Firmness attached to them has long since dissipated and is of no use.

The two of them didn't care. With these three heads of Rampaging Soldiers, it was already a big gain.

"Huh?"

After walking out of the small temple, Wang Dao Xuan looked at the hilltop opposite and couldn't help but praise, "I said that the location of the Baoxiang Sect must be extraordinary. There is actually a high-grade treasure cave hidden here, which may be the aftertaste of the Dragon in the Qinling Mountains."

As he spoke, he pointed forward, "It hides the wind, absorbs the energy, collects the water to form a force, and is surrounded by mountains on three sides. This is called the Huilong Throne. If the ancestors were buried in it, the descendants would be extremely valuable."

Sha LiFei's eyes lit up, "Is this treasure cave very valuable?"

Wang Dao Xuan laughed dumbly and said, "It depends on who you are, if you get Chang'an, those wealthy and noble people will be willing to pay one hundred thousand taels of silver for this treasure cave."

"Ten... ten thousand taels?"

Sha LiFei was confused and said in a trembling voice, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and take it."

"Wait, don't rush..."

However, Wang Dao Xuan frowned, observed it carefully for a while, and even took out the compass to look at it, and then sighed, "It's a pity, this treasure hole can no longer be used."

Sha LiFei was stunned, "Ah, why?"

Wang Dao Xuan pointed forward and smiled bitterly, "Did you see it? The mountain floods have destroyed the foundation. It looks good on the surface, but if you bury your ancestors, there may be big problems."

"What's the problem?"

"Without the foundation, it will naturally be extinct."

"Maybe Prosperity for a while, but Lineage has lost its incense, it's very, very fierce..."

Li Yan shook his head slightly, "Feng shui is just a small trend. Since it is worthless, let's not delay and go back to Lantian as soon as possible."

After that, the three of them walked through the thorny jungle and headed towards the mountains...

The cold wind howls and the mountains are desolate.

Hu Lulu!

On Official Road, three horses galloped past with their feet in the dust.

"It's weird, why haven't there been any pedestrians for a long time?"

"Today, during the Yuan Dynasty, when Shui Guan was relieved of his calamity, the common people worshiped their ancestors at home, and Daoist temples and temples set up restaurants and rituals. There was no time left."

"Tsk, tsk, I'm confused due to freezing, thank you for reminding me."

Those who came were none other than Li Yan and his party.

They crossed the Qinling Mountains, Li Yan and then returned to Li Family Fortress for a circle. The three of them rented horses in Lantian and traveled through the stars and nights.

After several days of trekking, we finally arrived at the feet of Tai Bai Mountain.

After riding half a stick of incense, Sha LiFei shouted again, "Yan XiaoGe, Old Sha I can't bear it anymore. You see, Master Dao's face is purple from the cold. Let's find a place to rest."

Winter had already entered at this time, and the weather was getting colder. Although it had not yet snowed, the cold wind was so strong that Wang Dao Xuan, Li Yan and Sha LiFei were all numb from the cold as they rode.

Li Yan looked into the distance, but saw a high mountain wilderness. He stopped his horse and handed the wine bottle on his waist to Wang Dao Xuan, "We have to find a sheltered place to warm ourselves by the fire. Master Dao, how about we go to Mei County?"

"No need."

Wang Dao Xuan took a few sips from the wine bottle, rubbed his numb cheeks, and pointed to the dirt road on the left:

"It's a long detour after entering the county town. Ten miles further from this road, there is an old Wubao. Many people who go up the mountain rest there."

"There's an inn over there too, just hold on and we'll be there in a while."

"Okay, just listen to Master Dao."

Li Yan and Sha LiFei are not familiar with the road. Only Wang Dao Xuan has been here before, so he shows the way.

Everyone rode forward again, and sure enough, after walking a few miles and turning a corner, they saw a piece of Wubao standing under the vast mountains.

The so-called Wubao, also known as the dock wall, has been in existence since the Han Dynasty. If there is a famine or a dynasty collapses in the north, there will be unrest. In order to protect themselves, the landlords and gentry have built Wubao defenses one after another.

Wubao There are large and small ones, but usually there are high-walled corridors built around the perimeter so that people can walk on them. There are even holes for bows and arrows and watchtowers, which are equivalent to small city walls.

Once this thing is built, it will be a small fortification. Since Guangwu, emperors of all dynasties have ordered its demolition, but they have been repeatedly banned.

The Wubao in front of me is unknown in what era it was built. It is quite large. The city wall on the left has long since collapsed, and the watchtower above has no roof. There are only charred wooden pillars. It has obviously experienced war.

If it weren't for Wubao there were several carriages parked outside, with lanterns hanging high and wine flags waving, Li Yan would have just regarded it as an abandoned historic site.

Before getting close, I saw a tall wooden pole erected outside Wubao, with a yellow flag hanging on it.

"This is called Heaven Pole."

Noticing Li Yan's line of sight, Wang Dao Xuan explained, "Putting Heaven Pole up indicates that there are Daoist believers. At night, three Heavenly Lanterns will be hung on the top of the pole to serve as the three officials for eating, drinking and fasting."

The three people arrived without attracting any attention.

This is because many people have gathered in Wubao, including traveling merchants and vendors, as well as incense-burning groups, and even many Buddhism and Taoism people and strange-looking witches and gods.

Li Yan was surprised and looked at Wang Dao Xuan.

He could smell a lot of abnormal smells from a distance. There were actually a lot of Xuan Gate People gathered in this small place!
