Wang Daoren went down the mountain with the old man, and Chen San's soul was collected by the old man into the gourd and taken down the mountain together.

When going up the mountain, because of looking for people and the rugged mountain road, Wang Daoren walked for nearly two days, and the descent was much smoother, and he had arrived in Chenjia Town in less than a day.

Back to Chenjia Town, Wang Dao and the old man were stunned by the scene in front of them, the old man gasped, before he arrived in Chenjia Town, the fog in the mountains and forests was getting bigger and bigger, as soon as he stepped on Chenjia Town, the white mist was like cotton stuffed throughout Chenjia Town, and there was not much difference between the situation at night when he couldn't see his five fingers, the old man and Wang Daoren were frightened and frowned.

Wang Daoren had no idea, "Dao Chief, this, I have only been gone for three days, and the town has been filled with such a thick fog, which is even colder than before, it seems that this hexagram is correct, there must be a big demon here." ”

The old man frowned and looked at the mist in the distance, "Let's save Chen San first, he has to merge his soul immediately, otherwise it will be too late, go to Chen San's house first, and I will prepare the soul merging technique." ”

"Okay, Dao Chang is going here, Chen San's family is near here, and before I leave, I entrusted a mother and daughter in the town to take care of his body, hoping that nothing happened. ”

Wang Daoren walked forward, and the old man followed behind, thoughtfully, and did not speak along the way.

Soon the two arrived at Chen San's house, Wang Daoren knocked on the door, and Chen Xin greeted him.

Opening the door, Chen Xin saw Wang Daoren and an old man, the tiredness and sleepiness on his face disappeared in an instant, and he was excited, crying and saying: "Wang Daoren, you really brought back the Taoist master, is Chen San saved?"

Wang Daoren nodded, "Yes, saved, Chen San will not die, Chen Jiazhen is saved!"

Turned around and respectfully invited the old man into Chen San's house, the old man entered the house, looked at the empty house and shook his head, the old sister-in-law also got up to greet him, the two nodded, full of tiredness and vicissitudes of life, so that the old sister-in-law has been several years old in the past few days.

The old man walked up to Chen San, looked at Chen San's body, and then made a handprint in his right hand and dotted it on Chen San's forehead.

He looked at Chen San in surprise and said to Wang Daoren, "Why does he have heaven and earth fortune on him, did you use any spells before leaving?"

Wang Daoren shook his head ashamedly, and replied with a wry smile: "Dao Chang smiled, I don't know the art of yin and yang, when I was learning Taoism in Maoshan, the master gave me three ancient coins of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, these three ancient coins have the luck of opening the world, I stuffed one in Chen San's mouth, thinking that there was a chance to protect the other souls in his body." ”

The old man nodded clearly, "Dao Elder has a heart, with this heaven and earth luck, this Pure Land can temporarily protect them from being disturbed by demonic energy, without further ado, let's start." ”

The old man untied Chen San's clothes, took off the square scarf on Chen San's mouth, bit his fingers, and quickly drew a rune on Chen San's upper body with the blood on his fingertips.

After drawing the rune, he took out a yellow talisman from his bosom and pasted it on Chen San's forehead, this yellow talisman is a soul suppression talisman, the soul in Chen San's body is unstable, and the old man pasted a soul suppression talisman in order to be foolproof.

After untying the gourd from his body, he looked around, no sunlight came in, only two oil lamps flickered and burned, and then opened the lid of the gourd and released Chen San's soul, and Chen San fell to the ground.

When I looked up and saw Chen Xin's mother and daughter, I was very happy, and I got up to hold Chen Xin's hand, but Chen Xin and they couldn't see Chen San in the soul state, Chen San also shook it before reacting, smiled embarrassedly, and then looked at the old man.

The old man smiled slightly, closed his eyes, raised his hand and began to form handprints, and recited the spell of the Soul Fusion Spell in his mouth.

"The Tao is natural, the soul returns to its body, the three souls are one, the seven spirits are gathered, the upper surface is heavenly, the lower surface is the netherworld, and the urgency is like a law. ”

While reciting the mantra, the mantra is completed with a step.

The old man was a little bit on the yellow talisman on Chen San's forehead, and Chen San was still looking at Chen Xin's pitiful pretty face stupidly, although he was a little tired, but his cute appearance had not changed much.

He was fascinated by it, but before he could see enough, he was sucked into his body by a powerful suction.

Seeing that the technique was successful, the old man quickly tore off the yellow paper, broke Chen San's mouth, took out the ancient coin and returned it to Wang Daoren, Wang Daoren wiped it on his clothes, and stuffed it into his arms, Chen Xin also very obediently returned the ancient coin in his hand to Wang Daoren.

The moment Chen San's soul returned to his body, an unprecedented feeling of weakness quickly spread throughout his body, the bones in his whole body were sore and painful, and he had no strength yet, and after adapting to it for a long time, he barely opened his eyes and shook his hand.

When the old man saw that Chen San had woken up, he instructed Chen Xin's mother and daughter to prepare something to eat for him, so that those who had not eaten for three days could recover.

Chen Xin saw that Chen San woke up, and ran out with a nod while wiping her tears, and Wang Daoren also looked at Chen San happily and smiled.

The old man was not idle, he went out around Chen San's house, used Taoist charms and red ropes to arrange a forbidden formation, and was busy with half a burnt incense, at this time Chen Xin had already returned, she took some dry food from her house and ran back.

Although he was also startled by the white fog outside the house, he had lived in this place for almost twenty years, and he could run home with his eyes closed, poured a glass of water, and helped Chen San get up and eat.

The old man entered the room and looked at Chen San, except that he was a little weaker, it was fine, and nodded reassuringly.

Chen Xin asked in surprise: "Why is there such a big fog outside, if I hadn't lived here for so many years, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to find my home." ”

"Yes, that's why I went up the mountain to ask the Taoist chief, who came down this time for the sake of the ghosts and evil things in the town. Wang Daoren replied in frustration.

The old man pinched his fingers and said: "This fog is unusual, maybe it is related to the ancient succubus, if I guess correctly, the ancient succubus is sealed under Chenjiazhen." ”

Wang Daoren swallowed his saliva and listened carefully, Chen San slowly ate the dry food.

Chen Xin asked in surprise, "Then is my father's death also the work of the ancient succubus?"

"This ancient succubus is still in the seal, if it has come out, there will definitely not be a living person left in Chenjia Town, besides, I can't deal with this ancient demon, it should be that the seal has been loosened, which has led to the leakage of the evil spirit of the succubus, or it may be other ghosts, what is the situation, we have to see first, who is the first to die, and where does it live?"

"It was my father, who collapsed in the hall when he got up at night, and we found out in the morning that he was out of breath, and we lived in the first house on the roadside at the east end of the town. ”

"Who is the second to die, and where does the family live?"

Wang Daoren said: "The second is their neighbor, named Chen Wanfu, who died on the bed. ”

"The third one is Chen San?" the old man asked suspiciously.

Wang Daoren nodded, "Yes, the third one is Chen San, I don't know if it has something to do with him carrying the coffin for the elderly." ”

"What do you say? He carried their coffins?"

"Yes, there was one less person to carry the coffin at that time, and he said that he came to carry the coffin for the elderly, and I had no other way to make him carry it, thinking that it was important to be buried first......"

"Then it's no wonder, it should be the coffin that rushed to the eight characters, let's go out and have a look, you mother and daughter don't leave, stay in this house with Chen San, there is my formation outside the house, there is no danger here for the time being." ”

Chen Xin's mother and daughter nodded and mumbled, Chen San just regained some strength, nodded and did not speak.

"Okay, I'll lead the way. ”

The two of them walked out of the house one after the other, and although it was daytime, it was still white fog outside, and the old man picked up two small sticks from the cowshed outside, and tied some thatch.

With his right hand, he took out a yellow charm from his pocket, and put the yellow charm between his two fingers in front of the two wooden sticks, and his mind moved.

With a "boom", the thatch on the two wooden sticks caught fire, and the two of them walked towards Chen Xin's house.

Although the folk customs of Chenjia Town are simple, the town has not been peaceful recently, and every household has locked the door, but there is no one in Chen Xin's house, and Chen Xin and her mother did not lock the door when they came out before, but just closed the door.

The two pushed open the door and went in to take a look, and they didn't see anything abnormal, just a little cold, but for the current Chen Jiazhen, this cold is normal.

When passing by the road between the two houses, the old man stopped, looking at the road leading to the back mountain, black and white, and a gust of cold wind blowing, but the thick fog did not mean to blow away.

The old man didn't do anything, "The trouble may be on this road to the back mountain, look at Chen Wanfu's house." ”

Without taking two steps, Wang Daoren nodded, knocked on the door of Chen Wanfu's house, and buckled it several times, but no one in the door responded.

The old man's expression became more and more serious, and he frowned, "Either the people inside moved away, or they died inside." ”

Wang Daoren's eyes widened when he heard this, and he kicked the door open, and the two walked around without seeing anyone, so they walked towards Chen Wanfu's house.

As soon as he reached the door, the old man felt a spirit wandering in the room, and the old man kicked open the door, only to see a woman lying on the bed with the smell of decay, and her soul floating beside her.

Wang Daoren couldn't see it, he only saw that it was Chen Wanfu's daughter-in-law Fu Sister-in-law lying inside, and as soon as he wanted to go in, he was stopped by the old man raising his hand.

The old man said to the soul of Sister-in-law Fu: "I am a Taoist priest, I don't know why you died on this bed. ”

Wang Daoren was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, the old Taoist should have seen the soul of Sister-in-law Fu, talking to Sister-in-law Fu, and then was stunned again, this Taoist chief can see the soul without opening the magic of the eye of heaven, isn't it the legendary natural ghost eye, can see through yin and yang?

Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he worshiped the old man in his heart.

Sister-in-law's soul didn't speak, the soul just floated around beside the corpse, as if it had no consciousness or consciousness, and it didn't look like it wanted to speak.

Then he asked, "Do you know who you are?"

Sister-in-law's soul continued to float back and forth, there was no change, and the old man waited for a while without responding, and then took out the gourd from his waist.

Biting his fingers, he smeared the blood between his fingers on the black and purple charm, and as soon as he finished wiping it, Sister-in-law's soul was sucked into the gourd, and he closed the lid and told the royal Taoist what had happened.

Wang Daoren secretly rejoiced, fortunately, he found this master, otherwise Chen Jiazhen would really be finished.

"Let's go to the mayor, in the few days you go up the mountain, the mayor of the town should know best, let's ask him, we should know a rough idea. ”

Then the two of them walked towards the mayor's house on the west side of the town, and it was very quiet along the way, and Wang Daoren felt very strange, so he asked the reason.

The old man said calmly: "It is indeed lifeless, what the Taoist chief said should be the voice of domestic animals, birds and beasts." ”

"Yes, it's the sound of birds, and when I came here before, the birds in the town died one after another, is it possible...... The birds are dead?"

"Judging by the mist, I'm afraid it's not just the poultry in this town that are dying...... Hey~ Let's go to the mayor's house first. The old man shook his head halfway through his words, and then the two of them quickened their pace.

Through layers of fog, fortunately, Wang Daoren came to Chenjia Town to do more things, he had been to most places, and he arrived at the mayor's house after groping.

The doors of the rows of houses were closed, and no one was wandering outside except for the two of them, and Wang Daoren knocked on the door, but there was no response, and he slapped it a few more times.

"Who?"

Wang Daoren breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "It's me, Wang Daoren, I found the Dao Master." ”

I only heard a rush of footsteps from the door, and with a "creak", the door opened, and the mayor saw Wang Daoren and the old man, and his haggard and restless face showed a look of surprise.

Before they could speak, the mayor carefully pulled them to close the door and went inside.

In the hall, the dim oil lamp flickered and burned, and Wang Daoren introduced the old man beside him to the mayor, who arched his hand, sat down with the two of them, and poured two cups of tea.

"You have finally gone down the mountain, if you don't go down the mountain again, I'm afraid there will be no Chenjiazhen in the future." ”

The old man asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The mayor shook his head and sighed, "After the royal people went up the mountain, several people died in our town that night, or they died in sleep like that, when their families came to inform me, I had no choice but to let them put the dead people in their own homes first, thinking that they would wait for you to go down the mountain and deal with it. The mayor was very distressed and patted his thigh.

"Mayor Mayor, how many people are there in that town?

Wang Daoren was also in a hurry, "Yes, didn't I say when I left that I would let you go to other villages to take refuge?"

"Left, left, but left late, and saw that so many people had died, mainly because they were unwilling to leave the town, and they didn't expect the matter to be so serious, and now there may be only twenty or thirty living people left in the town, most of them are some old people and some people who have not taken refuge. ”

The old man frowned when he heard this, and there were hundreds of families all the way, and in just a few days, there were only twenty or thirty living people left.

"Things seem to be much more serious than we thought, and we have to go from house to house to get these living people out and gather them together to settle them down for a while. ”
