In the corner of the yard, a vague figure appeared.
"Daoist Priest, the person who came here is not a good person!"
Sha LiFei gritted his teeth and his voice was trembling.
He traveled around with a few people and saw a lot of evil spirits. Although he was not Xuan Gate People, he still knew some basics.
Yin Soul Ghosts are essentially invisible, and there are only four ways they can be seen.
The first is to awaken Eye Mystical Power and be able to distinguish yin and yang.
Second, people who are about to die or extremely unlucky will see this thing.
Third, in some special areas, such as places with strong evil spirits, even ordinary people can see these things.
And none of them have Eye Mystical Power. This yard is very popular and uses Yangzhai Feng Shui layout, leaving only the last possibility.
A demon of extremely high moral character!
Although Wang Dao Xuan was anxious in his heart, he didn't bother to speak. He kept chanting Soul Guiding Incantation and kept shaking Soul Calming Bell in his hand.
Chuling Paper Figure has followed the red rope into the room and is only two or three meters away from Black-Clothed Old Woman Rice Diviner Woman on the bed.
But at this distance, the paper man moved slower and slower.
It seems to be blocked by some force.
As for Li Yan, he held a sword in his arms, Severing Dust Blade was held across his chest, and his left hand was slightly raised, ready to use Soul Hooking Chain at any time.
Summoning the Yin soldiers takes time, and it's obvious that he can't take care of it now.
He looked wary, and the hair on the back of his neck stood on end, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
This damn thing is Netherworld Spirit Travel,
Only an old demon with profound knowledge can use it!
He should have thought of it earlier.
Ordinary mountain monsters can only use Superior Language to communicate with people, but this Tiger Demon can open his mouth and guide Wu Lao Si to break the formation, which is obviously extremely intelligent.
You know, no matter whether ordinary people or monsters, the limit they can reach is Dao Progress Third Floor.
And when you reach the fourth or fifth floor, you can Netherworld Spirit Travel and travel thousands of miles in an instant.
The higher the Tao is, the further away from the body it can be.
There must also be a superior method.
For example, "Red Woman", although his Daoism has reached Fourth Floor, he is using evil methods to break through, and the disadvantages are too great. Once Yin Soul travels, the zombie body will cause trouble.
I didn't expect Dangyang County to hide such an old monster.
Phew~
At this moment, there was a sudden Yin Wind noise all around.
The black shadow became more and more blurry, and there seemed to be a pair of blood-colored eyes flickering in the darkness, and then a cold and hoarse voice sounded in everyone's ears:
"Don't mind your own business!"
Yin Wind dispersed, and the black shadow disappeared.
The small courtyard then became quiet.
Ring ring ring!
Wang Dao Xuan continues to ring the bell.
This time, Chuling Paper Figure no longer had any obstruction, moved quickly along the red rope, and landed on the body of Old Woman.
"Ho ho!"
Black-Clothed Old Woman suddenly opened his eyes, there was a sound of phlegm in his mouth, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his body was trembling, as if he was struggling.
The copper coins placed on his body were also trembling.
Only then did everyone see clearly that the old woman's eyes were white and she was obviously blind.
Wang Dao Xuan hurriedly entered the room, chanting while making secrets. "The Lord determines the emperor's decree, sweeps the universe, Twenty-Eight Mansions, lines up the seven stars, the universe begins to fight, the flying wolf does it..."
This is Spirit Calming and Soul Fixing Incantation.
Black-Clothed Old Woman's soul has just returned to its original position and has not yet recovered from the shock. If the soul is not stabilized, it will escape from the physical body again.
As Wang Dao Xuan recited the mantra, the money spent gradually calmed down, and Old Woman no longer trembled, staring at the beam with white eyes, breathing heavily.
Wang Dao Xuan then breathed a sigh of relief, put away the copper coins one by one, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, fellow Daoist, you are back."
"Thank you, fellow Daoist."
Old Woman's voice was hoarse, with a hint of trembling.
Seeing that he was still in shock, Wang Dao Xuan didn't say much. Instead, he walked outside the door and looked at each other with Li Yan and others, all with solemn expressions.
"It's a bit difficult to deal with."
Li Yan frowned and shook his head slightly.
Tiger Demon with this kind of skill is really difficult to deal with on their own. Even if there are Yin Division soldiers and horses, they must first find the opponent cave abode and set up a formation to trap them.
"What does that thing mean?"
Sha LiFei looked at Little White Fox who was trembling in Lu San's arms, and couldn't help but ask.
Wang Dao Xuan thought thoughtfully, "Pindao feels that Headless Knight may have nothing to do with this demon."
"A few fellow Daoists guessed it right..."
At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded in the room.
But Black-Clothed Old Woman had already recovered, his face was pale, and he was struggling to get up from the bed.
Several people quickly entered the room, and Sha LiFei picked up the tea on the table, poured a bowl, and served it to Black-Clothed Old Woman.
Old Woman was obviously very thirsty. After drinking two bowls, he took a breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, fellow Daoists."
Her eyes were white and she was just staring ahead. She was indeed blind.
"Old lady Guo Wangshi, may I ask who you are?"
"Wang Dao Xuan, from Guanzhong, passing by here, found something wrong..."
Both of them are Xuan Gate People, and after a brief introduction, we knew each other's background.
This Guo Wangshi can find clues, which is indeed extraordinary.
She has witchcraft inherited from her family. She is good at asking questions about rice. She also raises a few housekeepers Snake Spirit and is quite famous in the Jingzhou area.
And knowing that Li Yan and others were appointed by City God Temple, Guo Wangshi is more respectful and will tell the truth.
"Old lady, I was also careless..."
"Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect was busy with the war, so she entrusted many things to the local sorcerers. The old woman did a few things and gained some fame, but then she became a little forgetful."
"I heard that the evil spirit here was pretending to be Emperor Guan to cause trouble, so I brought my apprentice here, hoping to become famous in a battle."
"The old lady asked for the deceased's clothes from the county government, ordered her apprentices to send out housekeepers Snake Spirit in all directions, and then asked rice for divination."
"I didn't expect that the opponent's moral character was higher than mine. Not only did he harm my disciples, but he also led the old woman to the Mountain Immortal monster with a trace of Divine Soul, and she almost became a scapegoat..."
Wang Dao Xuan nodded and said, "It seems that our guess is correct. The two parties are not the same thing and are still fighting secretly."
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Senior, do you know their base?"
Rice Woman Guo Wangshi sighed, "The origin of Tiger Demon is unclear, but there are many Chang Gui under his command, and his temperament is somewhat violent. According to his wishes, he has been guarding the outside of Guanling for decades."
"I practice with great concentration on weekdays, and I don't do anything evil. I don't know what my intentions are..."
"As for the other group of people, the old woman has some guesses. The warlocks have different skills, and they are all sinister and vicious. Maybe they are related to the evil demons hiding in Jingchu Village."
"These people are wanted by the Orthodox Church and have been causing trouble in the mountains. The old lady has encountered them several times before. Now that the Orthodox Church has taken advantage of the war and has no time to care about them, they have gone out in large numbers. They must have some big plans."
Li Yan was a little confused, "Although Dangyang is a small county, it is a strategic hub. Could it be that Jingchu Mountain People wants to make a breakthrough from now on? But why is it causing such a fuss?"
"The old lady has a guess."
Rice Woman had a hoarse voice and said, "Have you ever heard the story of Purple Canopy Mountain on Inverted Well?"
Wang Dao Xuan became interested, "Fellow Daoist, please tell me."
Rice Woman Guo Wangshi sighed, "Purple Canopy Mountain Cave is Blessed Grotto-Heavens. Although his reputation is not obvious, he is not trivial."
"The origin of this mountain is because the top of the mountain hangs down in all directions, like an umbrella cover, and the wood and rocks on the mountain are cyanotic. Purple Haze Cloud Sea can be seen when climbing, so it is called Purple Canopy Mountain."
"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ge Xianweng once made elixirs in this mountain to cure diseases and save people. It is said that when he was making elixirs, he fed the elixirs to the rooster to see the effect, but the rooster died..."
"In a fit of rage, Ge Xianweng threw Pill Furnace into the well, but then the rooster turned into a phoenix and flew away. The immortal was immediately happy and used Divine Ability to turn the well upside down and pour out Pill Furnace. The alchemy was successful."
"Since then, Inverted Well has become a scene of Purple Canopy Mountain. The well water is clear, it does not rise when it rains, the sky does not fall when it is dry, and there are often clouds and steam above the well mouth."
"There are rumors in Xuanmen that this well is not trivial. It is the first spiritual orifice of Purple Canopy Mountain and contains the Ge Xianweng elixir. However, no one has ever discovered it."
"Later, rumors spread from nowhere. This Inverted Well was suppressing a powerful demon. Yuquanshan Temple and Guanling were the horns of each other, forming a large formation with Purple Canopy Mountain to suppress the demon."
"Now Tiger Demon is hiding in the mountains, and there are evil demons in Jingchu causing trouble, and lightning strikes in Guanling are constantly happening. Could it be that these people want to open a big formation?"
After everyone heard this, they all looked at each other in shock.
I didn't expect that this little Dangyang County would hide such rumors.
It is so bizarre that ordinary people would just laugh it off as a myth, but they are all Xuan Gate People and know something.
Sometimes the truth is exaggerated and turned into a story. The story is spread by word of mouth and is exaggerated again and becomes a myth.
There is always a connection between myth and reality.
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Not to mention Guan Ling, he is one of the three Lord Guan Temples of Divine Land. There must be someone to protect him."
"I heard that Yuquan Mountain Temple is the ancestral temple of Buddhism and Taoism. There are many dharma lines in Purple Canopy Mountain. Don't they know this?"
Old Rice Woman smiled bitterly and said, "That's not clear. Although the war is tense, we only sent a few young apprentices to deal with it. I'm just afraid that there is something fishy."
"Everyone, I don't dare to get involved in this kind of thing anymore."
"I advise you not to worry about it, or you may cause disaster."
What she said was cryptic, but everyone understood it instantly.
Although Dangyang County is small, there are three holy places, involving Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect, Buddhism and Taoism and several local method lines.
For example, Bamboo Mountain Sect, there is Branch Hall built on the mountain.
There's such a big thing going on, but everyone is pretending to be deaf and dumb. It's definitely not that simple behind the scenes.
This Rice Diviner Woman was old and had just regained consciousness. His spirit was already a little tired. After saying this, he fell into a deep sleep.
Li Yan and others returned to their rooms.
They all looked at each other in silence.
Sha LiFei scolded directly, "Damn it, Dangyang County evil spirits are causing trouble, but they all pretend to be deaf and dumb. It must be related to internal fighting in Xuanmen."
"Yan XiaoGe, let's not get involved in this nonsense!"
"No."
Wang Dao Xuan shook his head and said, "First of all, we have agreed to Gu Hanzi and the Guan family lineage, and there must be a beginning and end. Secondly, Evil Creature is causing trouble. It is the people who are harmed, and Lord Guan's name is stained."
"Many things are like this. If everyone pretends to be confused, the monster will only succeed. We must investigate clearly and report the matter to City God Temple."
Li Yan also nodded in agreement, "Since you have agreed, you must keep your promise."
"Oh, okay."
Sha LiFei was a little helpless, "There must be a charter for this matter. Otherwise, I didn't get it done, but I was cheated."
Li Yan thoughtfully said in a cold voice, "The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. Those who know the inside story are pretending to be deaf and dumb. Do you know why?"
Wang Dao Xuan smiled and said, "There is something wrong in their hearts!"
"That's right!"
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "There is a ghost in my heart, so I act secretly and sneakily, which is why there is so much confusion."
"No matter who it is, taking advantage of the chaos in the southwest, they must have some scruples. We can just do things openly. Regardless of Buddhism and Taoism's dharma lineage, if we don't want to attract punishment from above, we can only cooperate."
"Tomorrow we will go to Guanling, then visit Yuquan Temple, and finally go to Purple Canopy Mountain to see who is causing trouble."
"Everyone is ready. If someone jumps over the wall in a hurry, we don't need to hold back!"
"Okay."
With the plan made, everyone no longer hesitated. First, they went to tell Lord Guan that the person had been rescued, then prepared the magic weapon, went to bed, and recuperated their spirits.
"Everyone, something happened!"
Just after dawn, Lord Guan zi came to everyone with a face full of anger, and cursed, "That guy Wu Lao Si is obsessed with money. He left his family in the middle of the night and ran away with the money."
"I sent people to search on the road. They only found the fallen silver, but the person disappeared. The road was muddy and there were still footprints. It looked like he had gone to the mountains."
Wang Dao Xuan was speechless, then shook his head, "If it is Blood Ghost, I'm afraid he is already dead at this moment."
Li Yan said thoughtfully, "Let's go and take a look."
Everyone packed up the guys and followed Lord Guan zi to the outside of the village.
At this moment, the sky is still gloomy and the clouds are like ink. Although it has not rained yet, the road is muddy and the footprints are clearly visible.
"I am fascinated by Blood Ghost."
Wang Dao Xuan checked it out, pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "Look at these footprints. They were wandering around in place at first, which means they encountered Ghost Wall, and finally they were only walking on their toes. They are already possessed by Fierce Ghost."
Li Yan Looked along the footprints.
Seeing that half of the footprints led straight to the nearby mountains and forests, he asked, "Have you sent anyone to search?"
Lord Guan zi looked embarrassed, "No one dares to go here..."
"The old man did the right thing!"
Li Yan nodded and looked at Lu San.
Lu San suddenly understood. With a wave of his hand, the eagle soared into the sky and wandered in the nearby mountains and forests.
Soon, there was a discovery, and it was flying up and down.
"It's over there, not far away."
Lu San raised his hand and pointed to the northwest corner of the forest.
Without saying a word, everyone immediately entered the forest.
Before he even got close, Li Yan's face turned gloomy and he sneered, "It seems that more than one family came to see us last night."
Lord Guan zi and his tribesmen were puzzled by his meaning, but after walking for a while, they immediately understood what Li Yan was talking about.
In an old forest, there were about ten people hanging densely on the branches. All of them were pale, their eyes were wide-eyed, and their tongues were hanging out.
What's even more strange is that the skin on their faces is all covered with black and blue human handprints.
That Wu Lao Si is also among them.
And the rest are all men in black holding sharp blades.
"What... what's going on?"
Lord Guan zi was heartbroken after seeing this.
Li Yan was thoughtful, jumped suddenly, stepped on the tree trunk to use his strength, flew into the air, and cut several ropes with a knife.
Click, click, click!
Several corpses fell one after another.
Li Yan ripped open the chest of one of them.
On his chest, he could see strange and vicious beasts tattooed on his chest.
"It turns out that Heavenly Saint Sect is causing trouble!"
Lord Guan zi saw it and suddenly understood, and he gritted his teeth angrily.
Li Yan and others looked at each other with solemn expressions.
Their guesses are somewhat conservative.
It's not just Tiger Demon who is peeping in the dark.
I'm afraid there is another Old Ghost in the grave!
Dangyang County, what secret is hidden...
