Chapter Twenty-Five: Arresting Spirits and Demons

At dusk that day, when he was walking to an empty valley, Nie Liang burned a talisman, lit a pillar of incense outside the valley, and said, "Let's rest here tonight." "They all went into the valley of Rong, and some took flints and gathered firewood to light the fire, and some set up their tents. That Han Genglou and Han Gengci put on traps to catch birds and beasts. Although they are Taoist priests, they do not abstain from meat and wine, and they do not abstain from women.

The three old Taoist priests meditated under a big stone, Lin Xi and Mo Lian stayed away to rest, and Nie Yuqing, Han Genglou, and Han Gengci went to catch birds, peel them, and roast them over fire. In the blink of an eye, the sun had fallen into the western mountains, half of the sky was dark and half of the sky was bright.

Nie Yuqing took the cooked meat and divided it among the three of Nie Liang, took two more and went to Lin Xi's side, and said, "You...... Take it and eat it!" Lin Xi took the two cooked birds, thanked them, and asked, "Master brought us here, is there any demon to get rid of?"

He wanted to leave with Mo Lian several times in the past few days, but the three Taoist priests were always not far away, so he had to pretend that Chu Gengyu followed them. It's just that he wasn't Chu Gengyu, and he didn't know what happened to Chu Gengyu and Nie Yuqing, he just pretended to be confused about everything, and when someone said anything, he only said "um" and went back, which made Nie Yuqing open his mouth several times and swallow the words back.

Nie Yuqing said: "Yes." The demon king has been cultivating here for a long time, and he is far away, so there is nothing to do. Not long ago, the demon king sneaked out of here, went to the Central Plains, and brought all the demons and ghosts who returned to the underworld here to be collected as demon soldiers. Daddy and the two uncles took the decree of Kunlun Mountain and came to subdue this demon king. ”

Lin Xi said: "So that's the case. Nie Yuqing choked up and said, "You ......" Lin Xi said, "It's okay." Do you have anything else?" Nie Yuqing said coldly: "It's okay." He turned around and walked away.

The night crept to everyone, and the sky fell silent, except for the sound of the wind in the valley.

The Taoist priests gathered around the campfire to drink.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the fire was blown several feet long. Han Genglou and Han Gengci were about to block the wind, but Nie Liang smiled and said, "Slow! Don't go." "Stand up and look around. Suddenly, he let out a "duh", took out the long sword on his back, stabbed forward, and shouted: "The little ghost is looking for death, isn't it?"

Nie Liang pointed at it with a long sword in his hand and said, "What the hell are you, how dare you come to offend me?" The ghost wailed: "Immortal spare my life, I am a wandering soul, and this is my place to live." Nie Liang laughed and said, "An has a place for you to stay." He took a small gourd and took the ghost away.

The "Wind Fixing Sword" Zhang Lieyan stood up and said, "There are a lot of ghosts coming. Said to Nie Yuqing: "Look, your master and I will beat these little ghosts out and let you recognize them." "When he walked to the edge of the cave wall, he suddenly drew his sword and stabbed it, and a ghost fell out of the wall, screaming for mercy.

Zhang Lieyan said: "Come and see, this is called a wall driller." "Call Nie Yuqing and a few people closer. Nie Liang pointed to the sky and stabbed a ghost down, and said, "This is called a wandering heavenly ghost, if I am slow to draw my sword, he will hit me in the head." "They led them out of the valley. Nie Yuqing, Han Genglou, Han Gengci, Lin Xi, Mo Lian and others followed behind, not daring to speak.

The blaze laughed, "There's a ghost." He took out the red thread rope from his bosom, unfolded it, and sprinkled it on a dead tree, biting the tip of his tongue, spurting out blood, and stabbing it with a long sword, and a terrible ghost appeared on the dead tree, and cried out, "You will be punished for breaking into my place and killing me for no reason." Zhang Lieyan also took the gourd and took the ghost.

The three Taoist priests had sharp eyes, and they had already seen that there were a lot of ghosts and monsters hidden in this valley, and they were not surprised at the moment, but they were even more happy. Zhang Lieyan saw Han Genglou and the others retreating in fear, glared at him, walked over, pointed to a hole next to him, and said, "Do you know what this is?"

Several people shook their heads again and again, and Nie Liang walked over and said with a smile: "This is called a sleeping ghost, and he is sleeping in a cave at this time." Zhang Lieyan said: "I'll let him wake up and play." He took out a bamboo tube from his bosom, lit a fire and threw it in. The bamboo tube exploded as soon as it entered the hole, and a gloomy wind suddenly appeared, which only frightened Nie Yuqing and the others to retreat again and again.

Lin Xi was also stunned when he saw this, and said secretly: "These Taoist cultivators are not weak, I can't show my feet." The sleeper crawled out of the hole, and suddenly turned around and changed into seven or eight feet, his eyes were as big as lamps, and his mouth was full of fangs, and he shouted, "Stinky Taoist, you are looking for death!" Zhang Lieyan raised his sword and stabbed.

The sleeping ghost was injured in the hand, and turned into a yin wind to pounce, Zhang Blazing's long sword turned sharply, stabbed a few times, and injured the sleeping ghost again. Seeing that he couldn't help him, the sleeping ghost was furious, and turned around and pounced on Nie Yuqing and the others. Those apprentices were shallow, and when they saw that this evil ghost was already stunned for seven points, how could they still have the power to resist?

Nie Liang shouted: "More rain! Out of the sword!" Lin Xi was stunned, the ghost had already pounced in front of him, he lifted the chain to move, and remembered that the soul chain could not be taken out, so he drew his sword and stabbed. Seeing that he was young, the demon flashed and reached out to grab him by the chest.

Lin Xi hurriedly used the long sword away, but he used the iron chain, but the sword couldn't be used, and he was forced to retreat step by step. Nie Liang said sharply: "Talisman!"

What kind of talisman will Lin Xi'an make? Suddenly remembering that Chu Gengyu seemed to have two talismans on his clothes, he hurriedly took them out. It's just that the talisman is broken, and when it is taken out, it is rotten.

Nie Liang hurriedly took the sword and pierced the ghost, put the ghost away, and sighed: "Still can't work!" changed his face and shouted to Lin Xi: "Why did you make the sword look like that?"

Lin Xi secretly screamed badly and said, "I'...... I'm in a hurry and can't do it......," Nie Liang snorted and said, "When I saw this little ghost, I was scared like this, and I even forgot to use my sword." Seeing that Han Genglou and Han Gengci had retreated further, he was angry in his heart: "These three apprentices usually practice diligently, but they are afraid as soon as they go into battle, how can they catch ghosts? ”

Zhang Lieyan said: "There's something wrong in front of that, let's take a look." "Go ahead. The wind moves the forest and grass, and the forest trees are shady. On that day, the crescent moon spat out half of its head, and the moonlight of the cold veins sprinkled on the forest, and hairy white silk grew on the trees, leaves, and branches.

Nie Liang walked to the side of a mound and said, "This is the tomb keeper!" Standing on the mound, he raised his sword and stabbed it. A demon rushed out of it, and shouted loudly: "You are so bold, you dare to stand on my grave!" Nie Liang turned the long sword back into the sheath and said, "I will teach you to use talismans." "Cut a spell and put it in the demon's mouth, and pour out the demon's light.

The three old Taoist priests led the way, teaching the art of catching ghosts while catching ghosts, and when they hit the depths, their spirits became more and more vigorous.

A cold wind blew from the depths of the forest, and three ghost dogs pounced out, followed by a ghost king, who shouted loudly: "Who are you? How dare you break into my country and kill the people of my country?" Zhang Lieyan smiled and said: "I am the people of Feiyun Mountain, who are you?"

The ghost king said, "I am the ghost of the previous dynasty, and I am here to guard the door." The "Wind Sword" Bai Yun said: "I'm too lazy to talk to you more!" The ghost king hurriedly took the halberd and held it up. The two of them fought for more than a dozen rounds. Bai Yun shouted "fall", threw the long sword up, fell from the sky, and swung the ghost king into two parts.

The group went into the depths and saw that the tomb cave was gradually opening, the forest was a pillar, the heaven and the earth were a temple, and a kingdom was born in the middle of the illusion. And from that side slay many evil spirits. Nie Liang, Zhang Lieyan, and Bai Yun looked at each other, and said, "How can there be so many ghosts?" hurriedly swung his sword to kill.

Three clouds of yin wind came out of the palace, and three ghosts and gods came out, and one shouted: "Feiyun Mountain, my lord has decreed, my country has no grudge against you in the past, and there is no enmity in recent days, and you have repeatedly killed my subjects, which is really hateful." Crush you under Qingzhang Mountain!"

Nie Liang felt that something was wrong, and said in his heart: "How can there be a bearded country? Could it be that we are going to the wrong place?" Just as he was about to retreat, the big ghost came to kill with a sword. Zhang Lieyan faced a ghost king, and Bai Yun also faced a head. The remaining ghost soldiers scattered Nie Yuqing, Han Gengci and others.

Nie Liang raised his sword to kill the ghost king, seeing that he couldn't win for a moment, those ghost soldiers were killed, and the fearful disciples were injured. I didn't pay attention and was bitten in the left leg by the ghost king. Nie Liang hurriedly slashed his sword away, took two steps back, and gradually panicked, and said: "I came here by the decree of Kunlun Mountain, and it was clearly said that there is only one ghost king, why are there a group of ghosts here, and there is still a ...... of the country."

Hurriedly took a plate of sand, fell to the ground, turned into a stand-in, and killed some of the demon soldiers. The real body caught up with the two junior disciples and said, "Most of us are in the wrong place. Gradually, he gradually retreated, but when he turned around, he couldn't see his disciples, and his stomach was full of bitterness. Suddenly, seeing that Han Gengci was surrounded by ghost soldiers, he hurriedly killed with a sword, killed more than ten ghost soldiers in a row, rescued Han Gengci, and asked, "Where is your senior brother and sister?"

Han Gengci's face was pale and panting, and he said, "I don't know, they don't know where they fled to." Seeing the ghost soldiers coming, the four of them hurriedly retreated and left.

But it was said that Lin Xi saw that many evil ghosts came out of that kingdom, and hurriedly used his sword to protect Mo Lian. Next to him, Nie Yuqing and Han Genglou got together and barely resisted. Nie Yuqing suddenly saw that Chu Gengyu only protected Na Mo Pian, but didn't take care of herself, her face turned white with anger, she gritted her teeth, and all thoughts were scattered for a while, and she just wanted to die here.

rushed out of a ghost king again and killed Lin Xi. Lin Xi fought with the ghost king for a while, but when he turned around, he couldn't see Mo Pian, he was anxious, and he slashed indiscriminately with his sword. Gradually retreated to Nie Yuqing's side, seeing that she was tired, half-kneeling on the ground, a ghost soldier raised his spear and wanted to stab, hurriedly swung his sword to cut the spear, took her hand, and shouted: "Hurry up!" The three of them killed and retreated, but there were many ghost soldiers, like a surge. Killed under a dangerous wall, Lin Xi was really angry, poked his soul out, opened his eyes, and said sharply: "You dare to chase me?" He was originally a ghost envoy, and he showed the ghost appearance, which immediately frightened the ghost soldiers. Turned around sharply and escorted Nie Yuqing and the others away.

After the three of them left for a hundred feet, they didn't see the ghost soldiers chasing after them, so they dared to stop and rest. Lin Xi looked up, but Mo Lian had long since disappeared, she was anxious in her heart, and thought: "Although her cultivation is weak, those ghost soldiers must not be able to help her, and it should not be difficult to escape." ”

Feeling a little relieved, and just about to rest, a group of ghost soldiers came out of the forest, and the ghost general led by shouted: "Come to my land, and don't want to leave!"
