Chapter 1: The moon is dark and the wind is high

Thundered~~

Thunder roared, wind roared, and lightning tore through the gloomy night sky, turning the sky and the earth white in an instant.

The blackened pine forest was violently shaken by the strong wind, and the dim lanterns swayed left and right, turning into mottled fragments of light and shadow scattered under the eaves of the Taoist temple.

The next moment, the torrential rain poured down the canopy, like iron balls violently and rapidly hitting the eaves.

The broken and fallen green leaves continued to flow down with the stagnant water, accompanied by another flash of lightning, clearly reflecting the ghostly shadow of the cloak under the eaves.

It was a female ghost dressed in red, with white limbs, like spider silk, sticking to the wall, her eyes were full of ferocity, and through the window, she stared closely at the little Taoist priest in a blue robe and a bun on his head.

Ning Xiaochuan's whole body trembled at the moment, holding a Taoist scripture in his hand and reciting it continuously, but the voice in his head kept ringing.

【Ding! A fifteen-year-old demon is detected, and the ghost resume activates on its own! 】

[Lock the target: Open the ghost resume!] 】

[Buying ghost Su Ye, female, from Yuehe Village, 172 cm tall and weighing 54KG. 】

[Born in 701 and died in 721.] 】

[Tao Li (20 years old) was in his prime, his hometown was plagued by locusts and his family fled, and he was humiliated and died by robbers on the road. 】

[Because the resentment is too deep, unwilling to be reincarnated, deliberately throw the money on the side of the road, lure the greedy person to take the bait, and the person who picks up the money will become her substitute ghost. 】

[On the night of the third day of the sixth month of Tianyuan 736, Su Ye, a life-buying ghost, passed through Yuntianguan and was attracted by a handsome Taoist priest with soul-attracting incense, and then unexpectedly found that he met the requirements of his last substitute ghost. 】

As soon as the sound of the system fell, it was mixed with a violent thunderclap, and the closed window was blown open suddenly, and seven or eight pieces of broken gold jingled in and landed at Ning Xiaochuan's feet.

Ning Xiaochuan shuddered for a moment, trembled again, and then looked at the three incense sticks burning under the statue of Daozun with scolding eyes.

Two of them are red and one is purple.

Dead old Lu, your uncle, can you have a place for this soul-attracting incense, I fucking thought it was just an ordinary incense, and lit it casually and inserted it in front of Daozun, praying for you, is there such a pit for your own apprentices, I don't know if I have been afraid of ghosts since I was a child.

Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, I was wrong, hurry up and let Lao Lu come back.

At the same time, at the foot of Laoshan Mountain, on a rainy night, a Taoist chief about forty or fifty years old, wearing a purple yang scarf, wearing a gossip coat, and three locks of long beard, hurriedly stopped, and the blue and white Shifang shoes were already wet.

He carried a peachwood sword on his back and a compass in his hand, looking left and right with a burst of remorse.

"I actually let it escape, it's all my fault, curiosity killed the cat, if it wasn't for the widow Liu's house, seeing her stealing a man, I couldn't help but take a look at it, I would definitely be able to catch up," Lu Wenran stomped his foot violently, and quickly drew with one hand and two fingers.

"Heaven and earth are infinite, Qiankun borrows the law, increases!"

In an instant, the compass with three layers of inner and outer layers moved rapidly, the pointer rotated, and layers of energy ripples spread out, and finally pointed steadily ahead.

"Aha, look where you're running now!" Lu Wenran was pleasantly surprised, although it took him a month of cultivation in vain, he deserved it.

As soon as I looked up, I saw that the surrounding scene was somewhat familiar.

"This is, Cloud Sky View? How did I get to my house? Wait a minute! ”

As if thinking of something, Lu Wenran quickly nodded on his brows and eyebrows, shouted 'open', and then looked up at the top of Laoshan Mountain.

At the top of the mountain, it was already shrouded in a black mist formed by a yin qi.

"It turns out that this guy fled there, wait, that purple qi is...... Soul-attracting incense? Lu Wenran was stunned for a moment, and soon burst out laughing.

"I know that Xiaochuan is pretending to be on weekdays, follow me to catch ghosts, look scared, dare to love me when I am not there, I secretly light soul-attracting incense to catch ghosts, you are born to catch ghosts, sometimes my compass is not displayed, but you immediately sensed the location and hiding place of the ghost and told me, I am very pleased to be a teacher."

Lu Wenran touched his beard, looking like he had a successor in his career.

"Don't worry, as a teacher, I will sneak back, watch you catch ghosts, will not help you, let alone debunk you, I know that you kid is low-key, wants to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, it is a good thing to know how to hide clumsy, and I don't know that since I picked you up, I have learned a few percent of my skills in the past three years, but I am looking forward to it."

Lu Wenran muttered to himself, and then looked at the winding path up the mountain in front of him, and felt bitter for a while.

"It's so high, it's so tiredβ€”"

…………

Gollum~~

Under the futon that Ning Xiaochuan was meditating on, the two pieces of broken gold seemed to be blown by the wind, and rolled in front of Ning Xiaochuan again, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to see it.

Rolling down to this point, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva again.

Ning Xiaochuan is not afraid of the earth, he is afraid of ghosts.

This comes from a kind of psychology, and it is blamed on those old people who always told him ghost stories when he was a child, so that they left a psychological shadow.

After getting sick and dying, he accidentally crossed over to a beggar in this world, almost froze to death, the snow was fluttering, Lu Wenran had just become a mage in someone's house, and after passing through the alley, he took him back.

Since then, there has been another person to eat in Laoshan Yuntianguan, and at the same time, the days of mutual affection have also made Lu Wenran's lonely life much more lively.

Lu Wenran taught him the Taoist method of breathing, and his body became stronger and stronger.

However, most of them wandered in the market, stepping on the point first, making the main family panic, pretending to travel here to help exorcise evil spirits, earn some hard money, and enough for two people to have a few meals.

Of course, the poor don't go, and sometimes they even take some help.

But if you're unlucky enough to encounter something really 'dirty', that's another story.

Sometimes surrendering can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people and accumulating merit.

But most of them can't be beaten, and the one where the master and apprentice run is called an embarrassment.

"Lao Lu, you know that I have been afraid of ghosts since I was a child, can you not provoke them."

"Look at what you are talking about, isn't this unlucky, and you found out and told me first, I know that there is a ghost, can you not be curious to take a look, a glance at this is not the right eye, if you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, you can run."

"I won't tell you next time I know."

"You say that every time, isn't it Lao Lu Lao Lu who calls me every time."

"That's because it's going to eat me."

"Hey, why didn't it come to eat me, think you have fine skin and tender meat? I don't know if the old bacon is the most chewy. ”

"Forget it, I don't understand it."

…………

Since Ning Xiaochuan awakened to the benefits of the traverser half a year ago, sometimes when he is invited to someone else's house to be a mage, the system will automatically warn and open the [Ghost Life Resume], detailing its life, past and purpose.

Of course, most of the purpose is to look at Ning Xiaochuan's appearance of fine skin and tender meat, so he can only find Lao Lu.

So far, he hasn't killed a single sneaky, so the system's level has always been in its initial state.

But at this moment, he really called the heavens and the earth, and the earth was not spiritual.

Lu Wenran was invited to go down the mountain to catch ghosts today, of course he didn't want to go, after all, he had been frightened enough in the past six months.

But he never thought that the careless Lao Lu would throw the soul-attracting incense on the table at will, and the color of the incense was almost the same, and he prayed for him to return it to light it when he returned safely, and then attracted this life-buying ghost.

Ning Xiaochuan hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended not to see.

The life-buying ghost wants to find a replacement for the dead ghost, and only the person who picks up her money can do so.

Drag it on, Lao Lu should be able to rush back tonight.

It's really not going to be until dawn, this cloudy sky is high in the mountains, and the sun comes out to kill you.

[The life-buying ghost is a little impatient, she is being chased and killed, she can't continue to delay, she really can't eat this little Taoist priest with fine skin and tender meat, it must be very fragrant. 】

When Ning Xiaochuan heard this, cold sweat came down on his forehead in an instant.

After the calf, I am born, my skin is good, what can I do, if I can live until tomorrow, I will sunbathe every day.

But if she pretends to be any longer, she probably has to do it to herself.

People who have died once, can you be a little patient?

Ning Xiaochuan moved, and the evil ghosts on the wall were also excited, praying to look at his feet, look at his feet.

But after Ning Xiaochuan got up, he snuffed out the purple incense.

Continue to light this soul-attracting incense, and attract more than a dozen, I won't be able to share them, and Lao Lu will not be able to fight for revenge in the future.

And at this moment, Lu Wenran finally came back out of breath, and his face could no longer tell whether it was sweat or rain.

In the past, he was very fat, and he chose such a place to cover this cloud and sky view, and he could also absorb purple qi from the east, and now he has lost weight, but every time he goes home, it is like a catastrophe.

For this reason, Ning Xiaochuan has complained about this matter no less than a hundred times.

"Good guy, the bait has been hooked, and he has extinguished the soul-attracting incense, which is ready to catch turtles in the urn, and he has not continued to attract other sneaky people, which means that he is thoughtful, steady and progressive, not greedy, good, good."

With the help of the thunder, Lu Wenran flew to a pine tree, and quietly looked at Ning Xiaochuan in the view, and the evil ghost lying on the wall.

And seeing that his apprentice was unhurried and confident, Lu Wenran touched his beard appreciatively.

"I used to be quite good at pretending, but when I met a ghost, I screamed louder than a woman, my feelings were clumsy, and I was ready to surprise me," Lu Wenran looked like I finally found out that you were making a small calculation, and then looked at it with pride.

Gollum~~

A few pieces of red gold rolled in front of Ning Xiaochuan's feet again, but Ning Xiaochuan still didn't bow his head, but after extinguishing the soul-attracting incense, he looked at the statue of Daozun with a look of worship.

But I kept praying in my heart: "Daozun bless, Daozun bless, I am willing not to eat my favorite osmanthus cake for a month, in exchange for Lao Lu At this time, he drove the colorful auspicious clouds to save me." ”

Syllable!

Originally, Ning Xiaochuan had just gotten up and put the "Tao Sutra" in front of the table and fell from the table, just next to those red gold, as long as he was not blind, he could see it.

[The life-buying ghost was excited, and now the little Taoist priest can see it. 】

Hearing the sound of the system, Ning Xiaochuan's mouth was bitter, why are you so smart, you can't let me delay it any longer.

But if you pretend to be a ghost again, you will understand that there is a cat.

Ning Xiaochuan looked at the Taoist scripture under the expectant gaze of the life-buying ghost, and suddenly exclaimed.

"How can there be gold?"

[Pick it up, pick it up, I'll be the last ghost to die, and no one can hurt me, including the stinky Taoist. 】

Ning Xiaochuan squatted down and looked at the gold with interest, but he didn't pick it up, so the life-buying ghost was anxious to bite the green brick with his teeth, like a termite, constantly dripping powder downward.

Lu Wenran, who was in the pine tree in the distance, looked at the appearance of this life-buying ghost, and subconsciously covered his loose old teeth, and was envious.

"Lao Lu is usually very good at picking the door, and he can't hide a few private money at all, they all say that there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, do you say that there is a possibility, just now the gold in it was thrown out, but what about jade, I actually like jade the most."

Ning Xiaochuan said to himself that he didn't pick up the gold, but picked up the "Tao Sutra" and shook it in anticipation.

Bang!

With a lightning flash and thunder, the life-buying ghost slammed the wall with one hand, and finally lowered his head, looking at the jade pendant on his neck, his eyes full of reluctance.

Finally, his eyes gradually became firm.

I was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, so I fought hard.

Thundered~~

Lightning and thunder, the window was blown by the wind and rattled, so that Ning Xiaochuan subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes, just wanted to get up and close the window, with the clanging, a white jade with excellent color rolled on the ground, and then ...... Shattered.

Ning Xiaochuan was stunned, the life-buying ghost outside was stunned, and Lu Wenran, who was hiding, was stunned.

No, what is this operation?

You're a fifteen-year-old ghost, can you observe the surrounding environment when throwing jade, I'm a green brick, I've broken a dinner bowl before, so I can control a little bit of strength, you can use the ghost to support it.

[The life-buying ghost was a little aggrieved, and she couldn't wait to immediately eat this stinky Taoist priest alive, which was the most important thing on her body before she died, but in order to cooperate more vividly, the little Taoist shook the book and 'dropped' it down, in the form of a parabola, but I didn't expect it to be broken. 】

[The life-buying ghost has reached the verge of collapse, but the matter has come to this point, she can't waste her portable jade pendant in vain, and after this Taoist priest becomes her substitute ghost, she will have to torture it well. 】

[I haven't satisfied you with anything, hurry up and pick up the money for me, my mother's patience is also limited. 】

[I'm going to tear your mouth later, knock your head off, and bully my mother for not going to school, right, is Yan Ruyu jade, that refers to a woman, a beautiful woman like my mother. 】

…………

The system constantly monitored the mood swings of the life buyer, and Ning Xiaochuan's scalp tingled for a while.

I didn't let you throw it, you threw it by yourself, and you have culture.

But you still have to pretend to be the way you should be, and you have to delay the time you should delay, maybe if Lao Lu comes back.

"Oh, where did you get the jade, could it be that Lao Lu really hid his private money?" Ning Xiaochuan said, raising his head to look at the beam.

"I know that I have hidden private money, I always cry poor with me on weekdays, and the next trip to the restaurant seems to be dying, but it's a pity that this jade, such a good texture, the wind, come more violently, a piece."

Ning Xiaochuan said, and then stared at the beam with bright eyes, seeing that if the wind blew down again, he would catch it.

[Stinky Taoist, your uncle, the old lady only has this piece of jade, bow her head and pick up the money, you can't see the bright gold, I don't want to pick up this for the dead ghost, just eat it. ] 】

Ning Xiaochuan's body trembled suddenly, and he was afraid of slander in his heart.

Why are you still red-eyed, what are you anxious about?

Lu Wenran was even more dumbfounded, and then turned into appreciation.

"Strategy, this is a clever strategy to punish the heart, the enemy fights, whoever moves first will lose, and I can feel that this female ghost has lost her mind, and she is always on the verge of irritability, once her mind is confused, there will be loopholes in the battle, this kid is okay."

At this moment, Ning Xiaochuan looked at the beam of the house, no, and was disappointed for a while, so he lowered his head, squatted in front of the red gold again, and didn't speak for a long time.

The desperate ghost almost rushed in to lead Ning Xiaochuan's neck, pressed him to the ground and rubbed him hard.

"Are you saying this is true or false? Isn't it dyed? Ning Xiaochuan touched the gold with the book and muttered to himself.

[Fake your uncle, this is red gold, like fake red gold. 】

The next moment, Ning Xiaochuan moved, stretched out his hand and went to get the gold nugget.

The Devil craned his neck, as if to witness the most sacred of award ceremonies.

Lu Wenran was also nervous.

But when Ning Xiaochuan's hand was only 0.01 mm away from the gold nugget, it suddenly stopped.

"Do you think there will be traps, such as putting itch powder on it?"

Syllable!

The life-buying ghost that was originally attached to the wall outside suddenly fell off the wall, and the loud noise made Ning Xiaochuan stand up suddenly.

"Who? Lao Lu, are you back? ”

Rumble~~

The door of the Taoist temple, which was originally closed, was suddenly blown open by a strong wind, and the two doors kept banging.

In the midst of lightning and thunder, a woman in red stood at the door, her eyes were full of rage, and the nails of her hands were digging into her flesh, looking unbearable.

The ghostly anger of the Sen Sen made Ning Xiaochuan's back suddenly break out in a cold sweat.

"Big sister, big sister...... Humans and ghosts have different paths...... You, you are a little reserved, I, I'm afraid......" Ning Xiaochuan's voice trembled, he couldn't pretend anymore, and his face was full of horror.

Lu Wenran, who was quietly observing from a distance, looked at his apprentice's acting skills and was amazed.

"I'm furious if I change it, it's too lacking in morality, but this psychological warfare is very good and successful, and it's not my apprentice."

"And although this female ghost looks unusually powerful, even I, I have already discovered her five fatal points exposed, one set, the so-called life to learn from all the time, I have to learn this."

Lu Wenran said, took out a waterproof booklet from his arms, and wrote this plan on his small notebook.

"By the way, and this terrifying performance at this moment must also be recorded, even if the victory has tilted to his side, he must create an illusion for the other party, paralyze the other party, and make the other party think that it is easy to kill him, so he will show more flaws, and he must not be complacent and expose his true purpose until the last moment."

Lu Wenran added again.

"I don't want it, I don't want anything, I want you to die, I want you to avenge my jade pendant, I want to eat you alive!" The life-buying ghost sharpened his throat, then landed on all fours, and pounced directly.

"Mom, help-" Ning Xiaochuan was so frightened that he immediately turned around and fled.

Crash~~

The desk in front of the statue was split in two by the claws of the god-buying ghost in an instant, and the incense burner shattered, and the broken gold gurgled and rolled.

Ning Xiaochuan hugged the pillar, and his heart was pounding in fright.

The life-buying ghost continued to come, Ning Xiaochuan kept dodging, and picked up his own peach wood sword on the table.

The most basic equipment of every Taoist priest is a peachwood sword, which is at least easy to convince people from the point of view.

This is still cut by Lao Lu from the peach tree in the back mountain, and on weekdays, the master and apprentice go down the mountain with their own food guys on their backs.

"You, don't come here, I'm here to take your peachwood sword, if you stab it, keep it and let your soul fly," Ning Xiaochuan held the peachwood sword in both hands, and his voice trembled.

But unexpectedly, looking at the peachwood sword, it angered the life-buying ghost even more.

"Come on, stab, it's not like the old lady hasn't been stabbed tonight," the life-buying ghost pointed to his shoulder, where there were two holes, bubbling with black water.

Ning Xiaochuan was stunned.

This is really scared of being stunned, and being stunned is afraid of dying, you are going out to fight with me to the end.

You didn't stab that wound from me, what kind of tantrum do you have with me?

Lu Wenran, who was in the distance, was a little red at the moment: "It's really old and dizzy, if you can stab a little accurately, you can kill with one blow." ”

[Ding, the system has detected that the life-buying ghost Su Ye is distracted, and the host can spend 100 initial wish value to strengthen the peachwood sword in his hand into a thunderbolt and kill it! ] 】

[Ding, the system reminds that the wish value comes from the ghosts killed by the host, which can be exchanged for the required items in the system store, and can also be blessed with personal items, and even cultivate their own bodies. 】

[Ding, the current system level is LV1, you can spend 100 wish points to open the resume of the target for the next seven days, and with the upgrade, the resume of the target future time will continue to be extended. 】

At this moment, the voice of the system sounded again, and Ning Xiaochuan was stunned.

I've never reminded myself so much before, could it be because I'm alone to face evil spirits?

He quickly found his stats panel, and the 100 Wish points underneath.

He didn't know what it was for, but it was so useful.

But what can I do in the next seven days with 100 wish values to see what she can do in the next seven days, will Lao Lu find her and dig me out of her belly?

In Ning Xiaochuan's stunned effort, the female ghost rushed over from the opposite side with red eyes again, and her black hair seemed to have turned into countless poisonous snakes and entangled.

Ning Xiaochuan immediately said: "Hurry up and give me strengthening-"

[Ding, deducting 100 wish points, the peachwood sword is being strengthened, the strengthening is completed, and it has become a thunder splitting peachwood sword. 】

Suddenly, Ning Xiaochuan felt that the peachwood sword in his hand was much heavier, and some unknown changes had occurred, and a layer of black lines appeared, as if it had been burned by lightning and fire.

At this moment, the life-buying ghost showed murderous intent on his face, and pounced directly on him.

Ning Xiaochuan immediately took a step back, holding the Thunder Splitting Peach Wood Sword.

"Heaven and earth are infinite, Qiankun borrows the law, the sword is unsheathed, the demon is killed, and the divine soldier is as urgent as the law!"

A wave of Haoran Qi erupted from his body, these all originated from some Taoist scriptures and self-defense swordsmanship instilled in him by the master in the past three years, but he didn't expect that he was used to practicing bells and whistles on weekdays, and today he was in a hurry to run directly.

Ning Xiaochuan dodged, stomped on the ground with the soles of his feet, and slashed down with a perfect turn.

Jingling!

The thunder splitting peachwood sword collided directly with the yin qi, but soon, the thunder and lightning flashed on the peachwood sword, and the female ghost came with a miserable howl of pain.

She looked at the peachwood sword in Ning Xiaochuan's hand incredulously, and then became even more angry, her eyes were sharp and cautious, and her body rushed out, and above the claws, the wind was fierce, and there was a poisonous gas, and she tore it directly at Ning Xiaochuan.

Lu Wenran, who was in the distance, was also on full alert at the moment, in case his own apprentice was entrusted, he had to go to the rescue at all times.

And Ning Xiaochuan was also moved when he saw this, but at this moment, his mind calmed down even more.

It's really that this female ghost has been carried away by anger, and there are too many flaws in front of her.

He directly illusory his figure, and then held the thunder splitting peachwood sword in his hand, and a leaning slash slashed under the body of the female ghost who pounced, and aimed at the vital point, and stabbed her heart with a sword.

"Good!" Lu Wenran outside clapped his hands excitedly.

This raptor's method of crossing the river was still what he showed at the beginning, but he didn't expect this kid to learn so smoothly with the assistance of the voice.

Not bad, it's time to get out of the school.

And the life-buying ghost let out a terrible howl, which rolled upside down and hit the door and window.

She looked at the huge gap on her chest, her eyes were full of unwillingness, she pointed at Ning Xiaochuan with one hand, wanting to catch him, and finally hung down weakly, slammed, and turned into a wisp of green smoke.

At the same moment, eight white air currents came out of her body, looking at Ning Xiaochuan, and saluted in unison.

Ning Xiaochuan knew that these were the eight substitute ghosts she had found before, and with a sigh, she recited the death spell to help him escape.

"The edict of the Taishang, the lonely soul of Chaoyou, the ghost of everything, the four lives are ......"

In Ning Xiaochuan's spell, the eight figures slowly became transparent, and then disappeared, escaping into reincarnation.

The same is true of Lu Wenran outside.

The deceased is gone, and after all, dust returns to dust.

Ning Xiaochuan slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly a burst of cheers jumped.

It was not easy for him to really kill a fifteen-year-old demon by himself.

But if he could do it again, he would rather go down the mountain with Lao Lu than dare to stay alone, it was too scary.

At the same time, the voice of the system sounded in his head.

[Congratulations to the host for destroying a fifteen-year-old demon, rewarding a wish worth 500 points.] 】

Ning Xiaochuan was overjoyed, 500 wish points were enough for him to show a little miracle, after all, not only could he exchange things in the store, but he could also see the sneaky situation in the next seven days, looking for a way to solve it.

You said that if there was any chance, wouldn't it be ......

Ning Xiaochuan thought of this, complacent, then looked around, his eyes fell on the few pieces of red gold on the ground, and he squatted down, hesitating for a while.

Then, under Lu Wenran's incredulous gaze, Ning Xiaochuan, who was more greedy for money than him on weekdays, actually swept the red gold into the dustpan with a broom and treated it as garbage, and finally came out with an umbrella, a perfect parabola, and threw them all out of the courtyard wall.

Then he hurriedly ran in and closed the door, for fear that there would be a life-buying ghost to find him.

"My fool, you're too vigilant, the sneak has been removed by you, which means that the broken gold has become ownerless, and it is the real money that can be used to buy things, just throw it away, loser-"

Lu Wenran jumped down with the help of the strong wind.

"Oops~, Nima who put the mouse trap-"
