The wooden staircase creaked because it could not bear the weight of a few people, and it resounded in the silent and eerie room, like rubbing a saw against the heart, and it made people feel like crazy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Xiaoding felt that if he stayed in this environment for a few days, he would definitely go crazy, and he didn't know what happened to Xiaomeng, thinking of this, he couldn't help but scold the three people in front of him in his heart.

After Yang Xiaoding and Mo Wensheng followed the three of them up to the second floor, the lights were also turned on by Shang Ran, and everything in the room was presented in front of everyone.

Mo Wensheng and Yang Xiaoding also really saw it for the first time, and they had only seen the ghost Xiaomeng in dreams and fantasies.

The second floor was also unfurnished, only a wooden table and a carpet were placed in the empty room, and a girl with a pale face and closed eyes was lying motionless on it, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep and could never wake up, only the slight rise and fall of her chest was announcing to people that she was still alive in this world.

There were a circle of white candles densely placed around her body, the flames beat from time to time and burned very vigorously, Yang Xiaoding counted seventy-two, this number is very mysterious.

Taoism has seventy-two immortals and seventy-two blessed lands, so it is extremely sensitive to this number.

Yang Xiaoding remembers that once when he was learning to draw talismans from his master, he heard him tell a story.

It is said that they have an ancestor, when traveling, met a dying girl, her soul is out of the body for some reason, so her body can not support the danger of death, but she is not a normal death, there should be a glimmer of life to save, as long as you find her lost soul, in the spell to let it return to the body.

In order to prevent the girl's physical vitality from dissipating before retrieving her soul, the ancestor placed seventy-two candles around her body, and used the light of the candle flame to renew her life, with special spells, these candles will form an interdependent relationship with the girl's body, as long as he can bring back the girl's soul before the candle burns out, the girl can be rescued and reborn.

In the end, the ancestors tried their best, and sure enough, they found the girl's soul, it turned out that she was greedy for the beauty of the valley, unwilling to leave, and her parents were afraid that she would be in danger and refused to let her go again, she missed every day, pursued, and was obsessed with too much, but she broke free from the shackles of the body, and played in the valley in the way of the soul, nostalgic and forgetful, but fortunately, in time to find it back, the ancestors cast a spell to let her return to the body, which saved a fresh life.

Yang Xiaoding was thinking of the situation in front of him and the loss of Xiao Meng's soul, it seems that this is the white-bearded old man who is afraid that Xiao Meng's soul will be lost, and the body will lose its vital signs in advance and be noticed by the underworld, so he deliberately placed seventy-two candles to give her life!

However, Yang Xiaoding felt strange, how could his master know what he had told him, this old Taoist seemed to know the same, and he was also a cultivator, and he also liked to wear a Taoist robe all day long, and even the style of combing his hair was exactly the same, did he have any intersection with his own master before?

The more Yang Xiaoding thought about it, the more he felt that there was this possibility, but even if there was an intersection, it would definitely be an enemy, although his master couldn't say that it was a white lotus that saved the suffering, it could be regarded as a good person who accumulated virtue and did good, no matter how he said it, he would not be a good friend with an evil way that does not take human life seriously.

It seems that when I go home this time, I will ask my master to see if he has ever had a grudge against such a person before.

The white-bearded old man and Shang Ran stood still beside Xiao Meng, and Shang Ran was the first to speak.

"Master, will we attract the ghost judgment of the underworld like this!" His voice was slightly uncertain, if he really fought with the ghost judgment of the underworld, they would definitely not be each other's opponents, although he believed in his master's ability, but he hadn't lived enough, and he didn't want to lose his life early.

"What are you afraid of, as long as she doesn't die, the people in the underworld won't notice it at all, I've considered all kinds of possibilities, and I've taken precautions one by one, it's imperative to take the ghost power contained in her soul, it's a good thing that is rare in a hundred years, with it, my baby ghost king can be easily refined successfully, even if the judge of the underworld finds out that she is passive, there is nothing to be done, the underworld and the heavenly court have an agreement, they must not meddle in the affairs of the world, no matter what happens, In that case, why be afraid of them! ”

The white-bearded old man interrupted Shang Ran's doubts, and said his plan in a firm tone with a contemptuous expression, because he was too excited, his expression was too violent, and a wrinkled face was distorted together, which actually made Shang Ran feel a chill seeping down from head to toe.

"Then Master, what should we do next, I don't know where to throw a part of this woman's soul, no matter how I find it, I can't find it, and the souls left in my body are useless." Shang Ran took his gaze away from his master's hideous face and asked again.

"Well, this is indeed very tricky, but as long as her body is with us, it will be easy to handle, Ah Ran, you go and set up the soul conjuring array, and I will personally summon the soul as a teacher, otherwise the lonely soul will not take the initiative to appear." The white-bearded old man looked imminent.

Refining a ghost king is his lifelong wish, he has done it twice before, but in the end he failed for various reasons, and the completed ghost king either did not obey the order and desperately wanted to eat him, or because the soul absorbed was too much and too miscellaneous and could not be dissolved perfectly, and finally all kinds of procedural thoughts broke out and broke the body.

And this third time, he was so lucky, he found a ghost man who had only heard of in legends, and there was supreme power hidden in their souls, as long as he could get these powers, he would have enough nutrients to supply the ghost king, and these nutrients were pure and essence, and there were no side effects at all after absorption, he would definitely be able to refine the most powerful and unique ghost king in the world!

It seems that he thinks of the good life after getting what he wants, and the white-bearded old man's expressionless face is faintly proud, this is really God helping him!

However, this girl is really witty enough, and she can react to the danger that has not yet happened, and let the soul containing some ghost power break free in advance, which led to his current embarrassing scene, but it doesn't matter, anyway, he will definitely try his best to catch that remnant soul.
