In a remote mountain village, Zhang Mingcong stood in front of the grave that puzzled him and closed his eyes.

From this tomb, Zhang Mingcong felt a strong soul fluctuation.

In fact, it is not strange that there are soul power fluctuations in the tomb. However, after the death of all living beings, including humans, the three souls and seven spirits will leave the corpse within seven days, return to heaven and earth, and re-enter reincarnation. However, the Earth Soul of the Three Souls will linger near the corpse and re-enter the corpse at midnight on the seventh and eighth days. It's just that, compared to the previous entrenchment in the sea of knowledge, this time the earth soul will only cling to the surface of the corpse like fur.

There is a saying in Xuanmen that heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. However, the way of heaven is ruthless, the common people are sentient, and all sentient beings in the world know how to repay their gratitude, let alone the soul that dominates their thoughts. After all, souls are actually more fragile than people think, and without the umbrella of the body, the souls of ordinary beings who have not cultivated and are directly exposed to the air sometimes only need a small fluctuation to lead their souls away. Therefore, as a guardian, the body that has tirelessly guarded the soul for a lifetime is certainly worthy of the soul in return. At the last moment, the earth soul attached to the body will be buried under the soil along with the body, and during this time, the earth soul will activate all the energy contained in it and turn into a protective film to continue to protect the body from all external erosion until the fifth and seventh day (i.e., "five seven"). Until then, the Earth Soul will completely dissipate into the soil and become the nourishment of the earth.

Because of this, if the deceased has not yet arrived, it is indeed possible for a cultivator or a few people with a keen sense of spirit to feel the existence of the soul in the grave.

But what puzzled Zhang Mingcong was the age of this grave - looking at the weeds and soil color of the grave, this tomb should have been some years old. It is true that there are no absolutes, and there are indeed many earth souls who have not completely dissipated when they reach the fifth and seventh levels for various reasons. However, the weeds and wildflowers on the grave caused Zhang Mingcong's doubts even more.

Flowers and grass grow on the grave, this is clearly a sign that the earth soul has completely turned into nourishing nutrients and melted into the earth, how can there be such a strong earth soul sense?

I don't understand, Zhang Mingcong really can't figure it out.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A golden light galloped in a thunderous manner, and in an instant, it had come to the back of Zhang Mingcong's head!

This golden light was as fast as a photoelectric light, and it was powerful and heavy, and because it was a sneak attack, it took the lead, and it stands to reason that there is no possibility of dodging.

But Zhang Mingcong is Zhang Mingcong after all.

As a disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion with excellent qualifications, years of hard training had already deepened into his body.

At the last moment, the body's reaction surpassed thinking, and Zhang Mingcong slid to the side at a speed that was completely invisible to the naked eye to avoid the golden light.

In the next moment, the golden light that had already passed by Zhang Mingcong reappeared!

This time, Jin Guang chose the front, and the dazzling golden light almost shook Zhang Mingcong's eyes.

Surprisingly, Zhang Mingcong, who was forced to such a state, was clear and calm in his heart.

Come to think of it, how could the other party withdraw with one blow after such a painstaking lay?

In fact, as early as when Zhang Mingcong dodged the first sneak attack of the golden light, a paper talisman appeared in front of Zhang Mingcong out of thin air and was ignited by Zhang Mingcong with his own true fire at the same time as it appeared, and when the golden light appeared in front of Zhang Mingcong, a soft light curtain blocked Zhang Mingcong's body.

But just as Zhang Mingcong thought before, how could it be so simple for the other party to lay out this game so painstakingly?

The golden light touched the light curtain, just like a pebble thrown into a lake, just after the surface of the smooth light curtain rippled like water, it hit Zhang Mingcong's door directly - the light curtain that was restored to its original state without leaving a trace was completely unstoppable!

Silent but deadly impact.

The golden light that passed through the light curtain slammed into Zhang Mingcong's eyebrows!

This moment, just like an exploding ammunition, the energy that had been restrained suddenly bloomed, just like the fireworks blooming in the sky, Zhang Mingcong's whole person was scattered into scattered embers in an instant.

The light dissipated, and Zhang Mingcong's figure had been lost in place, and all that was left was weeds.

Yes, weeds.

Although it has long been scattered, although it is already full of charred black, it can be vaguely seen that this is actually a straw man woven with dozens of straw runes covered with spell runes......

“……”

Not far from the explosion point, Zhang Mingcong reached out and touched his left ear, which was still buzzing.

Although Jin Guang's first attack was dodged by him, the strong force that rubbed against his ear not only left a scar on the epidermis, but also made Zhang Mingcong's ears feel like a drum.

"Yes, yes, it seems that your little Fu Xiu is either a disciple of Daoxiang Leaf City or Heavenly Master Mansion. ”

In the unknown, an extremely sharp voice faintly came.

There was a faint hint of anticipation in this gloomy voice. For some reason, it's a bit like a comedian looking forward to the audience's reaction after shaking off a baggage......

But Zhang Mingcong just silently put his hand into the leather bag around his waist and squeezed a few pieces of rune paper.

The scene looked a little awkward for a while.

But fortunately, as a professional comedy artist (...... Thermal skills are a must-have – such as talking to oneself.

"Originally, we followed you all the way, thinking that your kid must be from the Fu Sect, but there are so many sects in the Fu Sect, and your teacher is really uncertain for a while. But just after seeing this 'stand-in straw man' of yours, Lao Tzu understands that your kid is either from the Heavenly Master's Mansion or from Daoxiangye City. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingcong held a piece of rune paper in his right hand and carried it behind his back.

However, the gloomy voice still hasn't stopped, "But ah, what Daoxiangye City is just a little-known small sect that was just founded more than a hundred years ago, not to mention a junior like you, even if all the people from Daoxiangye City Gate are dispatched, Lao Tzu will slaughter it." But that's not the case with you kid, hehe, look at your skills, I'm afraid that the city lord of Daoxiangye City is not your opponent!

"It can be seen that your kid is definitely from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, hehe, the only problem now is whether your surname is Zhang or not!"

"Your Excellency has wasted so many tongues, don't you have the courage to show up?" At this time, Zhang Mingcong finally spoke.

"Good boy, have the guts, Lao Tzu is out!!" a thin figure appeared in the distance.
