"According to the physical characteristics and style of action you said, there is no doubt that this person is Sun Xiangu, but I didn't expect that she would die a few days ago." Qingxu couldn't help but sigh a few times when he heard Wu Zhiyuan's words.

"God is finally kind to her, and she can spend a quiet old age." Zhang Zefang also sighed and said.

Wu Zhiyuan didn't say anything when he heard it, since the clue to the truth of Dong Zhai has been broken, isn't there still a clue in front of him? So he sorted out his thoughts and respectfully asked Qingxu: "Dao Chief, how do you know that there is something strange in the Dong Mansion of Lu Dao?" ”

Qingxu squinted and thought for a moment, and said with a long breath: "I have been in retreat for three years and have been concentrating on meditation, just a few days ago, as soon as I came out of the gate, the disciples reported to me the changes that happened in the county town under the mountain, it turned out that in the three years of my retreat, there were bad incidents of digging graves and exhuming corpses in the county, and I found that these incidents were by no means as simple as digging up graves and exhuming corpses, because all these events have one thing in common. ”

Qingxu said this, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and saw that Wu Zhiyuan and Zhang Zefang were looking at him, so he continued: "I found that after all the graves were dug up, the corpses had traces of being gnawed, and there were even new corpses that had just been put into the ground, and the gnawing was even more serious, and there was no flesh and blood left, only miserable white bones. ”

"I've seen it too, and I've heard some rumors that it's a youkai." Wu Zhiyuan said immediately.

Qingxu shook his head lightly when he heard this, and frowned: "The rumors are not substantiated, and I haven't caught the culprit of the destruction of the corpse with my own eyes, so for the time being, I can't be sure what is at work, but according to my experience, I have probably guessed its identity when I consulted various classics at the same time." ”

"What Brother Yu said, is it ...... Ghoul? Zhang Zefang said tentatively in a speculative tone.

"Yes, this corpse-eater is most likely the legendary ghoul." Qingxu nodded, a trace of anxiety flashed on his face, and he then changed his words and said, "But when I entered the Dong Mansion that day, I didn't find any trace of ghouls, but I accidentally found that there were ghosts living in the Dong Mansion. Just when I was about to subdue her......" Qingxu said this, his eyes looked in the direction of Wu Zhiyuan.

Wu Zhiyuan understood the unspoken meaning of Qingxu, which meant that just when he was about to subdue the female ghost, Wu Zhiyuan smashed a flower pot from his back.

"Dao Chief, how much more do you know about the other details of Dong Mansion?" Wu Zhiyuan cleared his throat and added, "Since I promised to send Dong Qian's bones back to my hometown for burial, I should have the necessary understanding of the situation in her hometown. ”

"Hmm." Qingxu nodded in admiration when he heard this, and said, "The rumors that this Dong Mansion is haunted have been for decades, although it has caused panic in the city, but no one has really seen it, and it has never been harmed by the ghost of Dong Mansion, otherwise Qixia County is under my Silkworm Mountain Immortal Land, how can I allow her to act recklessly and sit idly by?" ”

Wu Zhiyuan fell into thought when he heard these words, it seems that the Dong family has been ruined decades ago, but he doesn't know what the identity of the middle-aged female ghost he saw in the Dong family before his death. Wu Zhiyuan clearly remembered that Dong Qian once said that she lost her mother when she was young, and it was her father and wet nurse who pulled her up, could it be that the middle-aged female ghost was Dong Qian's wet nurse?

"Since that's the case, even if I have done all the things about Dong Qian, now the female ghost of Dong Mansion has nothing to do with me, but I have a request, if the female ghost is not harmless, can the Taoist master let her go?" Wu Zhiyuan thought that the female ghost must be Dong Qian's relative, and if she stayed in Dong's house, she could also be with Dong Qian.

Qingxu nodded and praised when he heard this: "Although you are a little naughty, but your heart is pure, my Qixia faction is mainly based on cultivating the true enlightenment, and catching ghosts and eliminating demons is not my faction's specialty, so there are many disciples of my Qixia faction who are not asking about anything outside the world, unless the evil thing is clear and the harm is not shallow, we will go down the mountain to relieve the suffering." If you want to intercede, please your master. After Qingxu finished speaking, the hearty Da Lu laughed.

The Qixia faction cultivates the true enlightenment, and the Maoshan faction catches ghosts and eliminates demons, although they both belong to the Daomen, but the emphasis is different, and the angle of cultivation is also very different.

Zhang Zefang held his forehead with one hand and answered: "Zhiyuan, this person, ghost and god are divided into three realms, each in its own way, if she is left in this yang world, I am afraid it will be harmful to the world." ”

Wu Zhiyuan knew that Zhang Zefang's mind could not be changed, since he had the heart to get rid of the female ghost of the Dong Mansion, he couldn't stop it at all, so he could only say "oh" and stop talking.

At this moment, Zhang Zefang and Qingxu's eyes looking at Wu Zhiyuan changed suddenly, the two looked at each other with puzzled faces, and nodded lightly respectively, Wu Zhiyuan naturally did not see this series of actions.

Qingxu stared at Wu Zhiyuan, while slowly picking up the teacup on the coffee table next to him, just brought the teacup to his mouth, accidentally, the lid of the cup slipped from his hand, and the lid of the cup seemed to have eyes, fell directly on the carpet under the steps, and rolled down to Wu Zhiyuan's feet.

"Oops." Qingxu let out a slightly exaggerated exclamation, and his eyes looked at the lid of the cup at Wu Zhiyuan's feet at the same time.

Wu Zhiyuan also saw the lid of the cup rolling under his feet, he bent down unexpectedly to pick up the lid of the cup, and before he could straighten his waist, two figures suddenly approached, these two people were none other than Qingxu and Zhang Zefang.

Qingxu made a sudden move, and his right palm gently slapped on Wu Zhiyuan's heavenly spirit cover, Zhang Zefang struck out with his right palm at the same time, and hit Wu Zhiyuan's back with one palm, and there was a copper coin hidden in his palm.

Wu Zhiyuan didn't react yet, he only felt a phantom on his chest, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Dong Qian actually standing in front of him!

"Evil obstacles, Daomen Holy Land, you dare to come here to spread wild!" Qingxu was very angry, and as soon as the rat's eyes glared, he picked up the dust and attacked Dong Qian.

Seeing this, Dong Qian hurriedly hid beside Wu Zhiyuan, Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly blocked Qingxu who rushed over, and pleaded: "The Tao is long and slow, listen to me first." ”

"Zhiyuan, do you know that she is a ghost?" Zhang Zefang blamed on the side.

"Dao Chief, Master, she is Dong Qian, I know that she is a ghost, but she is not an evil ghost, although she destroyed the ancestral tomb and ancestral hall of Wujia Village, but it was because of the grievances of the ancestors, and later she has reformed and saved the lives of me and my master, please forgive her." Wu Zhiyuan begged with sincere eyes.

"It turns out that you are Dong Qian, we have dealt with each other, but we didn't see your true face at that time." Zhang Zefang suddenly realized, of course he remembered that he had fought with Dong Qian when he summoned Wu Zhiyuan's soul at the foot of Longshan Mountain before. Zhang Zefan changed his words and said sharply, "When Zhiyuan first entered the door, I found something attached to him, you said it yourself, what do you want to do with Zhiyuan?" ”

"The two Taoist chiefs, please spare their lives, the little woman was trapped at the foot of Longshan for more than 100 years, and missed the time to report to the underworld, so she stayed in the yang world, hiding in the brocade box left by her childhood, and later Wu Zhiyuan promised to bring my bones back to my hometown for burial, so I put away the brocade box and took it with me, so I have been following him, it is really a last resort. Please be gracious to the two Taoist leaders. Dong Qian begged.

"Yes, Master, Dong Qian has not harmed anyone, so you can spare her." Wu Zhiyuan also echoed the plea.

Zhang Zefang nodded slightly, turned to Qingxu and said, "Brother Yu, what do you think?" ”

"It's not that we have to accept you, but people and ghosts have different paths, you are a ghost in the underworld, he is a man of the yang world, you follow him like this, and it will hurt him after a long time." The anger on Qingxu's face gradually subsided, and he was angry because he mistakenly thought that this female ghost did not take this place of silkworm immortal cultivation in his eyes, so he was furious, and when he knew the real reason, he retreated from his anger.

Wu Zhiyuan looked at Qingxu when he heard this, and then looked at Zhang Zefang, and then turned to look at Dong Qian behind him, so this is really a tricky thing.

Dong Qian turned out from behind Wu Zhiyuan, made a gesture again, and said softly: "The little girl can come to the Immortal Mansion this time, and she also wants to take this opportunity to ask the two immortals for help, the little woman feels that the fate of the yang world is not over, so she wants to ask the two Taoist masters to think of a way for the little woman." ”

"Think of a way? What can be thought of here? Qingxu replied a little angrily.

"The fate of the yang world is not over? Do you want to return to the yang? Zhang Zefang grasped the meaning of Dong Qian's words, asked a question, and before Dong Qian could answer, he continued, "The only way is to borrow the corpse to return the soul." ”

"Resurrection of a corpse?" Wu Zhiyuan and Qingxu asked in unison, although Wu Zhiyuan is already a disciple of the Maoshan faction, but he has not learned the soul control technique of the Maoshan faction, and although Qingxu is also a member of the Taoist sect, he is not proficient in the soul control method, so he is also a layman in this regard.

"Yes, borrowing a corpse to resurrect the soul is against the way of heaven, but it can also be done within one's means, and it is very difficult to achieve it." Zhang Zefang sighed and said, his implication was that it was almost impossible to borrow a corpse to resurrect the soul.

"What are the difficulties?" Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly asked, since there is this way, there must be a way, as long as the difficulties are solved, it will naturally succeed.

"First of all, there must be someone who is the same time as her birth and who dies within three days, and secondly, there must be a superior guide, because the time of resurrection is the most important time, and the best time is only a few seconds, and if you miss the time, you will fail. As for how to return the soul, I can achieve it with the Maoshan Sect spell. Zhang Zefang stated.

"The only thing missing now is to find such a woman and such a master." Zhang Zefang saw that Wu Zhiyuan, Qingxu and Dong Qian were silent, so he continued to explain.

"There is one master, but it's a pity that ......," Qingxu sighed.

"What a pity?" Wu Zhiyuan and Dong Qian asked in unison.

"It's a pity she's dead." Qingxu sighed and said.

"Deceased?" Wu Zhiyuan asked in astonishment.

"Yes, she is the mysterious old woman you said, that is, Sun Xiangu, who is good at divination, can walk the yin, and summon the yin spirit." Qingxu replied lightly.
