"Dao Chief, I have one more question." Wang Tianhua thought for a while and said the question in his heart, "Why do those paper people go to pick up relatives, and what kind of relatives do they go to?" ”

"The paper man was naturally arranged by Li Taibao." Ai Daochang smiled, "As for why you took the kiss, you have to ask Li Taibao about this." Ai Daochang quipped.

"Then how did you find out that there were paper people who went out to pick up relatives?" Wang Tianhua still didn't quite understand why Gao Daochang could find the traces of the paper man in time in the woods, thus saving himself.

Hearing this, Ai Daochang did not answer immediately, but got up slowly and walked to the temple gate, pointed in the direction of Maocun with his finger, turned his head to Wang Tianhua and said, "Look there." ”

Wang Tianhua sat by the bonfire, naturally he couldn't see the direction Ai Daochang was pointing at, and after hearing what he said, he quickly got up and looked out, but he didn't quite understand what Ai Daochang asked him to see, so he asked suspiciously: "Dao Chief, what do you want me to see?" Maocun? ”

"Hehe..." Ai Daochang smiled and said: "You see that the other side of Namao Village is full of wheat fields, and there is only this direction at the entrance of the village. Naturally, we can see it clearly. ”

After Ai Daochang finished speaking, he looked at Wang Tianhua with a sly look in his eyes, Ai Daochang was kind and kind, and in his eyes, Wang Tianhua was also a child, so he used this to tease him.

Hearing this answer, it was also unexpected by Wang Tianhua, he also thought that these two Taoist masters were magical and could perceive all the movements in Mao Village, but he didn't expect that they were completely staring at it.

"So now it's just a matter of waiting?" Wang Tianhua asked.

"That's right, this Li Taibao's spirit is not difficult to deal with, as long as my senior brother and I recover from our injuries, we can get rid of it!" Ai Daochang said categorically, it seems that he didn't take Li Taibao's affairs too seriously, as if dealing with this matter would be a piece of cake for him.

Wang Tianhua was also a lot relieved to see him look so confident, after all, no one wants to be in danger all the time, as long as Li Taibao's spirit is not removed for a day, Wang Tianhua will always live in the shadows.

"Oh, yes! I still have something to ask, Chief. Wang Tianhua patted his head, and suddenly remembered one more thing: "I saw that the people in that village were cooking. ”

Wang Tianhua pointed to the smoking chimney and continued to ask, "Why are those villagers not in danger?" ”

This is a bit unbelievable to him, because according to Ai Daochang, that Li Taibao was a ruffian and a big villain during his lifetime, and he was powerful in the village, and there was no reason to become a spirit after death, so he changed his temper and had a better attitude towards the villagers.

"What you see is just the appearance, I didn't say just now that when my senior brother and I entered the village, those villagers were all trembling. Presumably, they had already been shocked by Li Taibao's spirit, and they were all afraid. ”

"The reason why Li Taibao didn't kill them is because his current state is a spirit, if he becomes a powerful ghost, then he will definitely slaughter the village, but now that he has become a spirit, it won't be so simple and rude."

"Why?" Wang Tianhua didn't understand why he didn't kill people directly when he became a spirit.

"Powerful ghosts belong to yin and are generated because the resentment of the living is too heavy, so the sense of revenge is extremely heavy, as far as the ghosts that my senior brother and I have encountered at present, most of the ghosts are irrational, they kill people is completely an instinct, and it is the resentment in their hearts that prompts them to kill, so as long as there is an incident of ghosts killing people, they are basically irregular, because they kill people when they see them, regardless of whether they are good or bad, and sometimes even their loved ones do not let go!"

Ai Daochang stared into the distance and said lightly, but his brows were furrowed, as if he recalled something bad.

Wang Tianhua couldn't help but shudder when he heard that the ghost was so frustrated.

"So in the future, if you encounter a powerful ghost, if you can't beat it, you can only dodge, and if you can't dodge, you can only run. However, generally speaking, if it is discovered by a ghost, it is difficult for ordinary people to escape its clutches. ”

"As for the spirit, this kind of thing is very mysterious. It's hard to understand that the spirit is such a thing as a thing, and it involves the Word! Ai Daochang slowly walked back to the campfire, and was stunned for a moment, as if he was sorting out his thoughts.

Then he said: "The reason why you see smoke curling in the village is not because Li Taibao is not killing people, but because he is killing people!" ”

"Huh?" Wang Tianhua was very surprised when he heard this answer, he didn't understand what Ai Daochang meant when he said that Li Taibao's spirit was killing people!

"You know how to boil frogs in warm water, right?" Although Dao Chang Ai was asking Wang Tianhua, he didn't wait for him to answer, but continued: "Killing people with powerful ghosts will only increase their own sins, and spirit killing is to rob the living of people from their own vitality, so Li Taibao's spirit is absorbing the vitality of the villagers at this time." ”

"But the process was slow at first, and as time went on, Li Taibao's strength became stronger and stronger, and the speed at which he absorbed the vitality of the villagers became faster and faster."

Wang Tianhua was already stunned at this time, and he didn't know what to say, so he just said silently: "Crazy!" ”

"You said you noticed that the chimneys of one of the villagers' houses were smoking because they were cooking. Think about what time it is, why are they still cooking? Ai Daochang's sentence seems to be asking.

continued: "It is because after Li Taibao's spirit absorbs their vitality, their most obvious feeling is hunger, so they need to eat all the time, but eating will not relieve their hunger, and their physical strength will be consumed faster and faster, and these cannot be recovered by eating alone. ”

"Those villagers who don't have a fire at home to cook are probably because their vitality has been sucked away too much by Li Taibao, and they don't have much strength to cook anymore, and they are the first to die in this village, and they may not last a few days."

Ai Daochang was very sad when he said it, but he showed a helpless sense of embarrassment.

"So what to do?" Wang Tianhua heard that this matter was so serious, he had never heard of it, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

"At present, we have to wait, wait for me and my senior brother to recover, otherwise not only will we not be able to save those villagers, but we will also die miserably, but more people will die by then." Ai Daochang explained again.

"Senior brother and I should be able to recover tomorrow." Ai Daochang said.

Seeing Daoist Ai's current state, Wang Tianhua was very puzzled, so he asked, "But Daoist, forgive me for being rude." I don't quite understand that you and Gao Dao Chang both seem to be healthy, and if you want to cultivate, shouldn't you meditate or lie down and rest? Why are you still strolling, and Gao Daochang even went to kill a few paper figures? ”

After saying this, Wang Tianhua looked at Ai Daochang, hoping that he could solve his doubts.

"Actually, we didn't have any external injuries." Ai Daochang said.

"That's internal injury, huh?" Wang Tianhua asked.

"Not exactly."

"What's that?" Wang Tianhua didn't know why.

"Didn't you just say that things like spirits can suck people's vitality? And at the beginning, my senior brother and I underestimated the enemy and were attacked by Li Taibao, so our bodies are a little weak now. You need to recover your mana so that you can have the strength to fight tomorrow. ”

"It's just that the mana we practice is relatively special, and after Dacheng, we don't need to practice deliberately, and the mana will gradually recover." Ai Daochang explained.

"I see." Wang Tianhua nodded and said suddenly realized.
