"Women cry?"

Sha LiFei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and whispered, "Is it something unclean?"

He also awakened Body Mystical Power. Although he did not have many mysteries, his five senses were far beyond those of ordinary people.

At this distance, if he can't hear it in his ears, there must be something wrong.

"Hmm."

Lu San nodded slightly and signaled everyone to retreat to the wall. Then he took out a dry yarrow from his arms, pinched Mystical Gestures, held it in his mouth and recited a few curses, and then blew it gently.

Phew~

The breeze blew, and the dead grass flew up and down.

Approaching the dead house Zi Hour, it suddenly twisted and was quickly covered with hoarfrost, like lumps of ice, falling to the ground with a snap.

This is a fortune-telling fortune teller.

Lu San was not good at this method, but after learning <Orchid and Iris Scripture>, he was able to communicate with flowers and plants, so he naturally learned this method easily.

"So much resentment..."

Seeing this, Lu San frowned and turned to look at Wang Tianzuo, "What is this person's usual temperament like?"

Of course Wang Tianzuo knew what he meant, and quickly shook his head and said, "Old Brother Lu is a decent man, and he will never harm others with his magic. When people ask him for help, he doesn't charge much, and his life is very miserable."

"You know people, you know faces, but you don't know hearts..."

Sha LiFei sighed, not believing it.

"Squeak!"

Before he finished speaking, the old weasel next to him became dissatisfied, jumping up and down, showing his teeth and claws, and doing various actions.

Lu San saw this and said thoughtfully, "It says that fellow Daoist Lu never harms anyone, and they are not allowed to approach the village on weekdays."

As he said that, Spiritual Light suddenly flashed in his mind, "Something's wrong, I'm afraid someone has set a trap in the house, and it's probably the person who harmed Fellow Daoist Lu!"

"What to do?"

"Use the trick!"

After several people put it all together, they immediately had an idea.

Lu San took out a straw man from his arms, pulled out a few of his hair, wrapped it in yellow cloth and stuffed it into it, and then tied it with red rope.

After doing this, he approached the courtyard wall of the house again.

The earthen walls of this old rural house were no more than a person's height. Lu San stretched out his hand and jumped over it.

When it landed, it was silent.

As seen before, the entire courtyard was dark and the door was locked, giving the impression that the owner was away for something.

Behind the courtyard gate, someone used white ash to outline a huge talisman. If you accidentally push the door and enter, you will definitely step on it.

Not only that, the white ash also exudes a fishy smell Corpse Qi.

Lu San I heard from Wang Dao Xuan that this is called "Yin Ash", which is made by burning the coffin where Old Yin Person or the zombie sleeps.

Evil folk often use this object to cast spells.

Lu San ignored it, moved his ears slightly, and listened carefully.

Soon, he turned to look at the big tree in the courtyard.

The sound of the woman crying came from under the jujube tree.

Looking more carefully, Lu San suddenly discovered that there was a string of things hanging on the jujube branch. It was made of a rope made of women's hair, and there was also a thick hemp rope hanging on it. It was stained with blood and full of yin energy.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and there seemed to be a vague white shadow under the jujube tree.

Sure enough, it's about exorcising ghosts and casting spells to harm people...

Lu San looked slightly cold after seeing it.

He has roughly guessed the opponent's methods.

That thick hemp rope was what the miserable woman hung herself on, and the innocent soul Wrathful Soul was attached to it.

Originally, this kind of thing should be sent away with magic to calm the resentment, but some people used evil magic to refine it, cultivate it and cast it Fierce Ghost.

Xuanmen, no matter Buddhism and Taoism witch, letting the soul Parthia is the rule.

This method is purely evil.

Lu San did not approach, but picked up the straw man, recited the incantation, then waved his hand and threw the straw man out.

Whoosh!

The straw man flew out and hung directly on the hemp rope.

Lu San It can be seen with the naked eye that a layer of white frost quickly adheres to the surface of the straw man, as if ice cubes have fallen to the ground.

He quickly stepped forward, planted a few yarrow sticks around, and then whistled softly toward the outside of the courtyard wall.

Sha LiFei and others also jumped in quickly.

"Look for clues first!"

Lu San whispered, "I'll watch here. If we don't find anything, we'll leave immediately and set up a trap."

"Okay!"

Sha LiFei didn't talk nonsense and rushed into the room with Wang Tianzuo.

As for Wu Ba, he scratched his head and stayed in the courtyard with Lu San.

Sha LiFei entered the room, immediately lit the torch, looked around, and immediately cursed, "You are a coward."

All I saw was a mess in the room.

The furnishings in Lu Lao Hei's home are very old. At first glance, they look like old objects that have been used for decades. The workmanship is rough and they are no different from those in ordinary people's homes.

It is pitch black in color and covered with thick dust.

Everywhere was a mess.

Sha LiFei After seeing it, he no longer had hope in his heart.

Those who come to search must be warlocks.

Even if there is something, it must have been taken away.

Wang Tianzuo looked around and found the same ugly face.

"Squeak!"

Just when the two were about to leave, the old weasel ran up to a Jujube Wood Cabinet, sniffed it carefully, and squeaked.

"Quick, Lao Huang has discovered something!"

Sha LiFei quickly asked Lu San to translate.

Lu San listened to the old weasel's Superior Language and said at the same time, "This Jujube Wood Cabinet, Lao Huang saw it before. It was on a nearby mountain. It used to grow in an old temple and was occupied by a nest of Yin Soul."

"Fellow Daoist Lu took them to salvation Yin Soul, then cut down the jujube wood, and then ordered them not to come near."

Sha LiFei After listening, he thought thoughtfully and said, "Since you have been saved, you are not allowed to get close. Maybe there are clues."

"Let's arrest people first to see who is doing the trick, and then go check it out."

"Okay!"

Lu San didn't waste any time. He pulled up the red rope, tied the four limbs of the straw man with yarrow, and jumped out of the courtyard wall with everyone.

They left the village and quickly came to the nearby mountains.

Lu San found a bamboo forest, buried the straw man in it, and then lurked nearby with Sha LiFei and others.

To prevent accidents, Li Yan has given "Wish-Fulfilling Pearl" to Lu San for safekeeping, which comes in handy now.

Lu San set off the "Wish-Fulfilling Pearl" seal, and a force like moonlight immediately covered their auras.

Even if there are warlocks, they can't detect their location.

Before I knew it, it was already late at night.

Several people remained motionless, hiding in the dense forest and waiting.

When it was almost dawn, Rat One, who was hiding in Lu San's arms, suddenly stood up and squeaked twice.

"Coming!"

Lu San immediately reminded in a low voice.

Rat One Rat Two has been following him all year round, and his moral conduct has also improved.

It was originally a rat that absorbed incense in the temple all year round. If not discovered, he might even be able to impersonate the rat god in the future.

In the wild, almost all rats nearby obey his command.

If there is any trouble, you can find it immediately.

Sure enough, several figures appeared at the foot of the mountain.

Sha LiFei narrowed his eyes slightly and picked up Divine Firearm.

Wang Tianzuo also restrained murderous intent and held the long knife tightly.

However, Lu San's expression changed and he reminded in a low voice, "Something's wrong, there are people on the other side, don't take action yet!"

I saw a few black figures walking around at the foot of the mountain, and it took a long time to arrive nearby.

The leader was a Daoist with disheveled hair and a sinewy face. He was holding a compass dangling in his hand and looking at the surroundings with vigilance.

At first glance, this person's appearance indicates that he is of the evil way of the Loose Hair Sect.

What's even more shocking is that there are more than a dozen people following in the distance.

Standing in the center is none other than "Faceless Young Master".

The old guy's appearance has not changed, he still looks the same coquettish. On a cold day, he is swinging the folding fan back and forth in his hand and talking to the person next to him.

The man was wearing leather clothes, with a gloomy face, and carrying a musket. He was Demon Hunter Tang Ling from the Meishan Sect.

This Demon Hunter didn't know why, but he had a cold face, and even though Faceless Young Master was talking next to him, he didn't pay any attention to him.

After Lu San saw it, his pupils shrank and he immediately made a gesture.

The straw man buried under the bamboo forest spontaneously ignited in the absence of wind, first turning into charcoal, and then quickly disappearing into ashes.

He has decided to abandon the plan.

There are too many people on the other side, and they are probably all masters of the Chengdu underworld.

With just "Faceless Young Master", they may not be able to win, let alone Demon Hunter Tang Ling.

Li Yan has said that this man's marksmanship is terrible.

As the grass man in the earth was destroyed, Loose Hair Sect the evil cultivator was stunned for a moment, looked at the compass in his hand, then looked around, and said coldly, "Forget it, the rabbit has run away."

While he was talking, the people behind him also followed him.

"Lin Daoyou, didn't catch it?"

Faceless Young Master shook the folding fan and asked.

Master Loose Hair Sect shook his head and said, "The other party is very smart. He is probably a spy from Shu King Residence. He has already fled after discovering us."

"That's a pity..."

Faceless Young Master sighed, "Let's go first."

After that, he led everyone and left quickly.

Watching their figures disappear, Wu Ba just wanted to get up, but was held down by Sha LiFei, who shook his head slightly.

Sure enough, in less than half a pack of cigarettes, the group turned back again and scattered around to search.

"Not here!"

"Nothing heard here!"

The sky was dim, and it was foggy today, so the visibility was not good. The searchers used Divine Ability to search, but naturally they did not find Lu San.

"It looks like he really ran away."

Faceless Young Master sneered, "Shu King Residence's people have suffered a loss in our hands. I guess they won't trouble us again until reinforcements arrive."

As he said that, he turned to look at Tang Ling, with a kind smile on his face, and persuaded him, "Brother Tang, since you have offended Shu King Residence, why are you so stubborn? Why don't you join us so that we can take care of you."

Tang Ling already had a gloomy face, but a trace of anger flashed in his eyes when he heard this, "It's not you who deliberately leaked my whereabouts. How could Shu King Residence's people find out my name?"

"It's unjust."

Faceless Young Master said with an aggrieved face, "It's just my subordinates who are messing around. If I had known this earlier, I would have sent Brother Tang away directly."

"Hmph!"

Tang Ling snorted coldly, obviously not believing it at all.

After the Marquis Wu Shrine incident ended that day, he followed Faceless Young Master and secretly sneaked into Chengdu Prefecture.

Relying on his hunting experience, he observed for a long time, completely determined the whereabouts of Prince, laid an ambush in advance, and shot directly to kill him.

Originally, after taking revenge, he would leave Chengdu Prefecture.

However, this matter was intentionally leaked, and Shu King Residence pursued him vigorously. He was unfamiliar with the place, so he could only follow Faceless Young Master for the time being.

The leak of the news made him very angry, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Don't mention this beforehand."

Faceless Young Master Seeing this, he quickly changed the subject and said confusingly, "Fellow Daoist Tang is also naive, Shu King Residence, even if we don't make any mistakes, do you really think they can't find out?"

Seeing that Tang Ling was silent, he rolled his eyes again, smiled and said, "Brother Tang doesn't look down on me, so it's okay."

"But now that you are wanted by Shu King Residence, I am afraid you will have to stay in the mountains and forests from now on. You will not be able to go to the city to take jobs. It is even more impossible to build a building in the mountains."

"I heard that in the Dragon Palace's treasure house, there are not only countless treasures, but also magical tools used for practice, each of which is priceless."

"This thing cannot fall into Shu King Residence."

"If we win, you can take your share and build the Shanmen Mandala even if you return to the old forest in western Hunan."

"Catching ghosts is not a skill. If you have money, you can still let ghosts push you around!"

"Hmph!"

Tang Ling snorted, "I'm afraid you'll trick me again then!"

"Hahaha, fellow Daoist Tang is worrying too much."

Faceless Young Master flicked the paper fan and said with a smile, "We are talking about Jianghu Rules. Everyone who sees it has a stake. If I cheat you and ruin my reputation, who else will dare to cooperate with me in the future?"

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist Tang!"

At this point, Tang Ling stopped entangled and said in a deep voice, "Those Meishan Brothers are extremely respectful to Erlang Zhenjun. If they really have the Dragon Palace treasure in their hands, they must hide it in the temple."

"If you really want it, you can follow this clue to find out."

After hearing this, Mr. Wuxiang said thoughtfully, "There are many believers of Erlang, Lord of Sichuan, here. There are Erlang temples in almost every village, and there are many along both sides of the river. It is not easy to find them."

"That's all, even a stupid solution is a solution, here it is!"

After that, he took his men and left here.

Sha LiFei and the others still did not move. When the sky was bright and falcons were inspecting the sky, they only left the dense forest after confirming that the other party had left.

"It turned out to be looking for the Dragon Palace Water Mansion!"

Wang Tianzuo said in a deep voice, "I don't know who spread this news. From the year before last to now, many people have been secretly looking for it."

"Old Brother Lu must have been plotted by them because of this matter!"

Sha LiFei saw this and quickly comforted him, "Brother Wang, don't worry, we will definitely find an opportunity to take revenge."

"Go to the temple first, maybe there will be clues."

Half an hour later, several people came to a mountain col.

However, there are dense forests ahead and thick snow has blocked the road. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to find this mountain col.

"Squeak!"

The old weasel pointed forward and swooped out, leaving a series of footprints on the snow.

"It's right in front, let's go take a look."

Lu San raised his hand, put the falcon into the air for reconnaissance, and then led a few people through the dense forest and snow.

I saw an old temple suddenly appearing in the mountain col.

This dilapidated temple has been around for a long time. All that remains of the outer wall are broken walls, entangled with dead vines, and covered with snow. The shape is no longer distinguishable.

As for the temple inside, the wings and side halls on both sides have collapsed, and even the main roof is overgrown with weeds and half of it has collapsed.

Sha LiFei stepped forward, pulled out a large wooden board from the snow at the gate, and swept away the snowflakes on it.

There are four words written on it, "GuanKou God Temple."

"It should be right here!"

Seeing these four words, Wang Tianzuo was thoughtful and said, "I once heard Old Brother Lu say that long before Dujiangyan was built, the people nearby believed in the god of drinking water, and later it gradually became known as Erlang Zhenjun."

"Go check it out!"

Sha LiFei took out Flintlock Firearm and walked into the hall first.

The hall was also in a mess, and a stone statue fell to the ground. It was completely different from the Erlang God they had seen.

The statue's face is blurry, but its eyes protrude outward.

Sha LiFei and Lu San winked at each other.

This statue is exactly the same as the one they found in the ancient village of Ghost Qiang...
