It stands to reason that people and ghosts have different paths, and before people die, they can rely on that breath of resentment to keep their souls immortal after death.

But if the resentment is insufficient and there is no place to possess it, wandering in the world will always end up with the passage of time.

Unless there is a strong enough grudge to support the ghost to absorb the yin qi and cultivate, it will eventually become a great climate and bring disaster to the world.

The old ghost who can reach more than a hundred years has a very powerful evil spirit, and it stands to reason that there are not many such ghosts in the world.

"She mentioned Shen Zhuang......"

Linked to the massacre of Shenzhuang a hundred years ago, which caused the death of a large number of people in the city, it is also the origin of this haunted incident, so Song Daochang guessed:

"This female ghost may be from Shen Zhuang."

Speaking of this, a trace of worry appeared between the old Taoist's eyebrows:

"If that's the case, Shen Zhuang is in danger."

According to the death records of the year, if the ghosts who died in the city did not go to the underworld to report, and then reincarnated, it is conceivable how many powerful ghosts above the hundred years level exist in the city.

The most important thing is that others think that he has great powers, but only Song Daochang himself knows that he did not kill the female ghost.

The silver mirror he took out only temporarily suppressed the ghost, but in the end, the female ghost was killed by other unknown beings.

What made the old Taoist priest feel uneasy was who killed the ghost? And why did you strike at this time? Who was the object of her mistaken confession before she died? And for what are you crying for?

What kind of existence can make old ghosts more than 100 years old feel afraid?

"Is it a coincidence that she is possessed by the Shen family?"

All kinds of questions came to the old Taoist priest's heart, making him let out a long sigh.

"It may have something to do with Aunt Wu's birth in Shenzhuang."

Song Qing glanced at the old Taoist priest with frowning brows, and said his previous opinion.

"What?" The old Taoist priest said these words, but it was because there were many twists and turns at the beginning of this journey, and he felt depressed in his heart.

When he said this, he didn't expect his little apprentice to be able to answer.

Unexpectedly, Song Qingxiao didn't say anything at this time, and gave him an unexpected answer.

"The first time the ox cart had an accident, when everyone got out of the cart to help push the cart, maybe Aunt Wu had already been tricked at that time."

In order to avoid the suspicion of the old Taoist priest, Song Qingxiao really said what happened at that time in the form of speculation:

"The first time I got off the bus, everyone was pushing the cart and not moving."

The carriage is not heavy, with the cultivation of Song Daochang and Song Changqing, not to mention that the ox cart fell into the puddle, it is easy for the two of them to lift the entire ox cart with everyone.

But no matter how hard the two of them tried at that time, the carriage did not move at all, until someone in the back joked, saying that it was because Aunt Wu was too heavy, and after she got off the ox cart, the stuck ox cart was pushed up again effortlessly.

At that time, everyone laughed and said that this matter was as coincidental as an evil one, which made Aunt Wu blush.

Now it seems that where it is like hitting an evil, I am afraid that it is really hitting an evil at all!

Song Daochang actually had some suspicions that he was recruited at that time, but after thinking about it at this time, he felt more and more that maybe things were just as Song Qingxiao said.

"There were nine people in the car, except for the three of us and the driver."

Among these nine people, there are seven men and two women, "some visiting relatives, some looking for friends, some doing business, and some returning home." ”

Song Qingxiao analyzed softly:

"Except for those who went to Shenzhuang for other reasons, the only ones who really went home were Aunt Wu and this Uncle Zhang."

Song Daochang didn't think much of her words at first, but when he heard this, his expression became solemn.

On this trip, his former cute little apprentice seemed to have opened his mind in an instant, changed into a person, and peeled off the cocoons of the incident.

"Uncle Zhang has only moved into Shenzhuang for a few years, strictly speaking, he is not a real old Shenzhuang person."

On the contrary, Song Qingxiao turned her head and glanced at Aunt Wu, who was still asleep and had not woken up:

"Although Aunt Wu is married, her maiden family is in Shenzhuang and she grew up there, maybe because of this, she will be possessed by that female ghost."

When the old Taoist priest heard this, he nodded: "It makes sense." ”

The people around who listened to the conversation between the two masters and apprentices with their ears pricked up all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

"If according to what the little lady said, we people have nothing to do with Shen Zhuang, is it okay?"

Another woman in the car asked, and everyone held their breath and stared at Song Daochang with expectant eyes.

"There is a wrong, and there is a debtor." Song Daochang responded, "If it stands to reason that these unjust souls come from Shen Zhuang, they may indeed only find out the troubles from Shen Zhuang's bloodline. ”

As soon as his voice fell, the eyes of the others lit up, but before he could speak, he continued:

"But the ghosts and ghosts are usually shrouded in resentment, so where is the reason?"

The words made everyone's hearts fall to the bottom, and after a while, someone spoke in a trembling voice:

"Forget it, anyway, when I get nearby, I'll go back with the car, and I won't go to Shenzhuang."

Song Qingxiao smiled faintly when she heard this, and got into this car, where could she go back so easily.

"It's just that the ghost is gone, who the hell is he/she mentioned earlier? Is it a human or a ghost? What kind of character was he in the massacre a hundred years ago? ”

She paused, then continued:

"And the soul who died a hundred years ago has been keeping to himself in the middle, but why will it reappear in the world after a hundred years?" At the same time, there was such a big commotion.

Shen Zhuang itself is extremely wealthy, and he is famous all over the world for the massacre of the city back then.

As a city with a developed mulberry sericulture, its wealth has attracted many merchants from all over the country, and such a serious haunted rumor in such a town will surely spread throughout the country, attracting monks, Taoist priests and practitioners from all over the country to exorcise evil spirits and demons.

Before leaving, Song Changqing once said that Shen Zhuang had already offered a sky-high price to recruit talented people, and there were many monks like Song Daochang who went to Shen Zhuang with his apprentices.

Did the old ghosts in Shen Zhuang who had been dormant for a hundred years expect such a result?

Or maybe they had expected it, but these ghosts didn't care?

"Alas......"

The old Taoist priest let out a long sigh: "Actually, there is a problem with Shen Zhuang's own location. ”

"Before the massacre a hundred years ago, my master used to go there, saying that it was a place to raise evil, and sooner or later something would happen."

When Daochang Song said this, he saw a look of 'willing to hear it' in the eyes of the little apprentice.

Her eyes were slightly wide open, and her eyes were clear.

Under the dim sky, her surroundings were extremely gloomy, and her cheeks were slightly moist, like a bright color in this gloomy environment, especially vivid.

Even if the old Taoist priest was extremely irritable because of this Shen Zhuang incident, when he saw the serious eyes of the little apprentice, he was extremely satisfied with her 'studious' energy at this time, and immediately explained in a gentle voice:

"The location of Shenzhuang is good, surrounded by water, north of Yongqing River, south of the inner canal."

The Yongqing River connects the major river and sea basins, and the water transportation extends in all directions, which is destined to the prosperous trade of Shenzhuang.

But it just so happened that these two very different rivers were within them.

"My Yunhu Mountain lineage has been the most effective astrological divination since ancient times." Even if it is an old Taoist priest with a serious personality, when he mentions the master, a trace of obscurity still flashes on his face:

"Up the north, down the south! According to the inheritance of Feng Shui secret techniques of Yunhu Mountain, the Yongqing River is in the north, and its water belongs to Yang; The inner canal on the south side is located below, which is yinshui. ”

Shenzhuang is located between the confluence of two waters, like a little land mixed between yin and yang, forming an excellent special terrain.

"If this place is used to build a mountain and establish a sect, its heart is upright and yang, then the sect will multiply, and the future achievements will be limitless."

According to what his master said back then: "That is, if you are a cultivator in the sect and your heart is oriented to the Great Dao, it is possible to be reborn and rank in the immortal class; And if the heart is to the mortal world and go to the world, it is not a problem to raise the talent of the emperor and general. ”

This is a big rebellion, and when it was still during the reign of the late Jin, it was naturally not good to talk nonsense.

"And if this place is used to nourish evil and gather the qi of yin and yang, it will raise the demons of the Three Realms."

Only by taking the balance of the middle and developing slowly can there be much to be done.

Therefore, real people of insight have been observing Shen Zhuang all along, and Shen Zhuang's prosperity and wealth are not accidental.

When Daoist Song said this, he glanced at Song Qingxiao:

"More than a hundred years ago, when your ancestor and his old friends passed through Shen Zhuang, they sensed the extraordinary luck there, and it seemed to reveal a trace of strange red qi."

Taoism emphasizes 'qi'.

In the practice of Yunhu Mountain, purple qi is the best, after all, the Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu rode a bull through Hangu Pass, and purple qi came from the east, so purple light is a good omen.

And in the sky-high purple qi of Shen Zhuang back then, it seemed to be mixed with a trace of red shadow, which was a little ominous.

"His old man is afraid that this red gas is unlucky, and he is afraid that something big will happen." Sure enough, more than ten years later, Shenzhuang was slaughtered and became a dead city.

Although it was not long before Shen Zhuang rose again because of its special terrain at the junction of yin and yang, this did not reassure Daoist Song's master.

"Before his old man Xianyou, he told me to keep an eye on Shen Zhuang, I am afraid that the red aura back then will cause another incident."

When everyone on the ox cart heard this, they couldn't help but exclaim in unison:

"The old immortal is really a living immortal, and it's not bad at all."

"With a god like the old immortal here, Shen Zhuang is saved."

Everyone, you and I are touting, and the originally quiet ox cart is actually lively.

"Master, his old man thinks that his cultivation is low, although he calculated that Shen Zhuang had a catastrophe, but he thought that the opportunity to solve this catastrophe was not on him, so more than seventy years ago, when he took off his mortal womb and ranked in the golden body, he handed over this matter to me to do."

In the face of everyone's compliments, the old Taoist priest did not show his color, but sighed, shook his head and said:

"It's a pity that my cultivation is less than half of his old man's, and it's really a shame for his old man."

When Song Qingxiao heard him say this, he couldn't help but move in his heart:

"This is why you went to Shenzhuang this time?" Do you want to solve this 'robbery' in Shen Zhuang?

As soon as her words fell, a trace of complexity flashed in the eyes of the old Taoist priest, and he looked at her deeply.

This look seemed to contain fear, reluctance, heartache, hesitation, etc., and finally turned into a trace of decisiveness:

"Yes and no."

He wanted to speak and stopped, as if he wanted to talk to Song Qing, but in the end, he didn't know what to worry about, and swallowed the words that were about to come to his mouth back into his throat.

"The reason why I went to Shenzhuang, in addition to the entrustment of your ancestor back then, naturally has other reasons."

Song Qing looked down at his tone and expression, and faintly felt that this reason might be related to him.

She immediately thought of the difference between her identity and the past in this trial, and immediately asked:

"Why?" After she asked this, she saw that Song Daochang pursed his lips tightly, his expression was stern and he didn't speak, and he looked very stubborn.

Although he has only entered the trial scene for a short time, as the saying goes, the old Taoist priest's eyebrows and eyes reveal firmness and determination, and at a glance he knows that he has a stubborn personality and may not succumb to strong strength.

If he is forced to ask, I am afraid that he will not be able to ask anything good, but it will make him close his mind and find it difficult to ask words.

She hesitated for a moment, then tentatively stretched out her hand and grabbed the sleeve of the old Taoist priest:

"Master."

This gentle call was accompanied by hesitation and hesitation.

The old Taoist priest glanced at her, and when he saw her talking, he looked stunned, as if he was not used to doing such actions.

The little girl lowered her eyebrows, her expression was cold, and her lips were pursed, which was both a little awkward and seemed to have a determined color.

Such a contradictory demeanor fell in the eyes of the old Taoist, but he felt extremely cute.

"Alas!" He sighed again, with pity in his eyes, and wanted to reach out and touch the little apprentice's head, but it may be because the previous stern image was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it was not customary to make such a move, so he stretched out halfway, and slowly paused in midair.

"You little girl!"

The old Taoist priest shook his four fingers, stretched out his index finger and nodded at the corner of Song Qingxiao's forehead:

"Your three brothers and sisters are destined to have a big death, and when I adopted you back then, I calculated it for you."

The warmth of his fingertips, matched by his tone, carried a kind of pity and care that made Song Qing come out:

"Seven years ago, I pushed your fate out with Ziwei, and the doom of your fate will appear before you are eighteen years old. If you pass this calamity, you will be smooth in the future, and it will naturally be extraordinary......"

And if you can't get through this calamity, then you will naturally die, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter reincarnation.

It's just that Song Daochang didn't say this, he just said softly:

"You're going to be eighteen this year."

He paused, suppressing the churning emotion in his eyes: "I calculated a hexagram half a year ago, and this calamity happened to be in Shen Zhuang." ”

Perhaps he said these words because he was afraid that the little apprentice would be worried and afraid, but he said with a firm expression:

"Before we went out, we burned incense to our ancestors, and with their blessings, this trip will be thrilling."
