"Mass Burial Grounds?"

Li Yan was stunned when he heard this, "That's West Traveling Beggars's territory. It's not a good place for Yin Energy to gather. Is President Heavenly Spiritual Treasure in that kind of ghost place?"

Zhao the Donkey scratched his head, "Brother Li doesn't know something. Heavenly Spiritual Treasure is just a unified name, which means spiritual creatures born and raised by the earth, but not all of them are good things."

"Some can be used to refine magic tools, some can extend life and heal people, and some can form their own situations. They can be placed at home to regulate feng shui... Anything that is beneficial is a blessing to the world."

"So after we get the treasure, we all shout, 'We have received a blessing'!"

"On the contrary, they are called unlucky things. Not only are they harmful, but some of them can turn into ghosts and monsters, and you have to ask the Daoist priests to suppress them."

"You may have heard of something. Tang Era Guanzhong There was a severe drought. Wei River A treasure dragon bone appeared on the reef. People thought it was the bones of Dragon King. They burned incense and worshiped it. As a result, sand and rocks flew that night, and countless people died in the surrounding villages. That is an ominous thing."

"Later Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect Wei Yangzi set up altars and offered sacrifices, set up prisons to collect evil spirits, fell from the sky Thunder General and destroyed them, and spread to the people, becoming Wei Yang Immortal Slaying Dragon God."

"That's it..." Li Yan suddenly realized.

He had also heard of this play and thought it was just a folk tale, but he did not expect that there was a prototype.

Thinking of this, he asked again, "Then Mountain Tai Sui, what is it?"

Zhao the Donkey didn't hide anything and replied, "The name Tai Sui originated from the star of Sui, which has the image of a king, and is not something that the common people dare to use, so there is a saying to avoid Tai Sui."

"Taisui underground has both blessings and misfortune. Some are called meat mushrooms, and taking them can prolong life. Others absorb the earth's veins Yin Energy and turn into ominous objects. People occasionally dig them up. In mild cases, they will become seriously ill, and in severe cases, they will die on the spot. It is called Taisui's head."

"And 'Mountain Tai Sui' grows in the center of a mountain's acupoints, or absorbs Innate Firm Qi, or gathers Innate Fiend Energy. Over time, it can even perform Spirit Transformation Gang and occupy the position of the mountain god. It is extremely dangerous to violate it rashly."

At this point, Spiritual Light suddenly flashed in Li Yan's mind, and said in a deep voice, "We went to Mass Burial Grounds to invite the Yin God. According to Daoist Wang, there should be a mountain god there to control the Yin soldiers, but there was no movement. Could it be this thing?"

Zhao the Donkey nodded, "Yes, that's it."

"The news from Xianyang City is that there was a mountain god in Mass Burial Grounds, and it was also a place with good feng shui. However, too many dead bodies were buried later, and a large number of Yin Energy gathered together, which polluted the mountain god's temple. In addition, the incense was cut off, and the spirit no longer appeared."

"According to the leaked information, the Beggar Leader Mountain Lord who traveled west was originally a foreign magician who stole the position of Beggar's Head and waited on Mass Burial Grounds for several years just to seize this treasure."

"The thing of restraint is the broken Cloth Bag passed down from generation to generation by the beggar. In a few days, Double Ninth Festival will return to his true nature and start with one yuan, then Mountain Tai Sui will vomit all the Yin Energy in his body and try to return to the throne of God."

"At that time, as long as you calculate the time correctly, you can retrieve the treasure. The greatest effect of this item is to heal injuries. No matter how severe the injury is, it will be restored to the original state."

"It's so magical?"

Li Yan's face was full of surprise, but in fact he was no longer interested.

The effect of Mountain Tai Sui is definitely not as good as that of Great Luo Dharma Body. Although Great Luo Dharma Body can be repaired after absorbing the blessings, in the current situation, many experts are competing for it, so I'm afraid it won't be his turn.

"Come on, come on, drink!"

Thinking of this, Li Yan directly pulled Zhao the Donkey to drink.

Mountain God Temple It was disrespectful to drink alcohol and eat meat, so they lit a bonfire on the hillside outside the temple, and Zhao the Donkey roasted two hares that they had brought.

It was already the rising moon, and beside the campfire, the two of them exchanged cups and chatted about various interesting things.

Zhao the Donkey knew that Li Yan was interested in holding back treasures, so in addition to inheriting it himself, he told the remaining allusions, taboos, and ancient stories without reservation.

Li Yan also talked about a lot of secrets in the world.

Before I knew it, it was already late at night, and the bright moon hung high.

On the dark mountain, the bonfire flickers with laughter...

Xianyang City Outside, on a hillside, the same fire flickered.

Two rows of braziers were placed around them. The mountain breeze blew by at night, and the pungent smell of grease spread with the flickering firelight.

In the open space in the center of the brazier, a temporary altar stands.

Different from the altar that Wang Dao Xuan once set up, there are not only incense candles, water, fruits, etc. Five Offerings placed on it, but also a Bagua bucket with a command flag, a method seal, and a Peach Wood Sword. It is also surrounded by talismans.

What's even weirder is that there is a row of puppets in front of the altar, all of them lifelike, with facial makeup painted on them, including Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, Chou.

Chen FaKui was dressed in a white Daoist robe with a strange style, similar to mourning clothes. There was also a white scarf tied on his forehead, but there was a big gossip embroidered on the back of the clothes.

In the distance, Yuan Qu and several of his subordinates, as well as Zhou PeiDe wearing a hood and cloak, all stood quietly and watched.

Yuan Qu looked at Zhou PeiDe with a gloomy face, and suddenly whispered, "Has everything been done?"

Zhou PeiDe said coldly, "Don't worry, I didn't disclose the name. The Chang'an Ge Gang I'm looking for are the two people who work most efficiently under Tu Lao Er. I guess they have been sent to Menggu Village by now."

Yuan Qu heard this and sneered, "You are so cautious, are you afraid, Senior Brother Zhou?"

Zhou PeiDe glanced at him coldly and said nothing.

He is not a fool. In fact, after returning to the house and thinking for a long time, he guessed that this guy Yuan Qu had evil intentions and wanted to drag him into the water.

Zhou Pan doesn't care about him, nor does Zhou Bai.

But behind them is the entire Zhou family.

Yuan Qu definitely wants to get some leverage so that if something happens, he can threaten Zhou Pan not to betray himself.

But even though Zhou PeiDe had figured it out, he still insisted on taking action.

Because, he also knew the news about Mass Burial Grounds Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.

Chen FaKui will go to get the treasure. He will bring people to help him and he will get a share afterwards.

This is Zhou Bai's only hope!

What is the Zhou family?

Zhou Bai was abandoned in an accident. Of all the older generations, who would be willing to come out and say something fair for their father and son?

Seeing Zhou PeiDe's face, Yuan Qu smiled sideways and said no more.

At this moment, Chen FaKui in the distance suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the bright moon in the sky, picked up Peach Wood Sword, and while making the secrets and reciting the incantation, Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper was under his feet.

Poof!

He picked up the Bagua water bowl on the altar and sprayed water into mist.

This is called "Spraying Water".

Water conservancy is similar to that of all things, and the "Spraying Water" method can remove dust, remove dirt, and relieve atmosphere. It is also a key step in opening the Dharma altar.

In an instant, the wind and water began to rise, and the Dharma altar Gang Qi gathered momentum.

Of course, Yuan Qu they couldn't see all this, they just noticed that the wind suddenly started blowing around the altar, and suddenly turned into a whirlwind, causing the surrounding braziers to sway unsteadily.

And this is just the beginning.

At this moment, Chen FaKui seemed to be a different person, with a tall and straight figure and a deep gaze. Peach Wood Sword held a few sword flowers in his hand. He picked up the decree with the other hand and pointed at the sky. Then the steps under his feet changed again, as if he was avoiding something...

After completing this set of procedures, he slapped the seal on the table, then picked up an order flag and threw it out, pinched the seal and said, "Jiuyuan Guizhen Sanyou Shenjun ordered all the soldiers and horses of the camp - urgently like a law!"

After saying that, Peach Wood Sword pointed forward.

Phew~

In an instant, Yin Wind was everywhere.

I saw a Huadan puppet enshrined on the altar, squeaking and turning its head slowly, as if being pulled by invisible threads, and stood up with stiff hands and feet.

This scene made Yuan Qu and others feel horrified.

Chen FaKui glanced lightly and said, "Let's get going. Follow the instructions in advance and take the puppet outside Shangyi Village. When the puppet comes back, leave immediately."

Yuan Qu nodded and immediately looked to the side, "Zhu TieDan, it's up to you!"

The man he was talking about was a strong man with a sinewy face. He was known as the most daring person in White Ape Gang. He once drank a human liver with his face without changing his expression.

However, at this time, the man's face was also pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. Seeing Yuan Qu's gloomy eyes, he had no choice but to step forward and pick up the puppet carefully.

Wow...

Unexpectedly, the puppet crawled along his arm and onto his back like a spider.

"Ah! Ah!"

Zhu TieDan was suddenly so frightened that his whole body was covered in hair and he was scratching everywhere.

Chen FaKui frowned, "Don't worry, just don't move."

Yuan Qu also scolded in a cold voice, "Zhu TieDan, if you dare to do bad things, I will throw you into a grave and bury you alive tonight!"

Under the scolding of the two men, Zhu TieDan had no choice but to cry sadly, speed up his pace, jump on the black horse next to him, shake the reins, and go towards Shangyi Village.

Along the way, he felt his back getting colder and colder, as if someone was blowing in his ear, making him tremble all over.

Fortunately, he was brave enough. After he got used to it, he stopped thinking about it and muttered, "Burned meatballs, haggis, donkey meat roasted..."

The journey was so fast that we arrived outside Shangyi Village without even realizing it.

Zhu TieDan felt a sudden lightness behind his back, swallowed his saliva, turned his head carefully, and looked at his back.

The puppet on the back has disappeared without a trace...
