Opposite Zhang Jianfeng and the old man, the little girl lowered her head, neither smiling nor moving.

"Xiaomin, you're causing trouble for me again!" Suddenly, the old man broke the deadlock between the three of them. Zhang Jianfeng on the side was surprised, he looked at the old man with wide eyes, could it be that the two of them knew each other?

"Hehe, little brother, this girl is my closed disciple, her name is He Huimin. The old man's explanation made Zhang Jianfeng understand, no wonder this little girl didn't say anything since the old man appeared, and she didn't move, so she stood stupidly like this.

"This ......" Zhang Jianfeng didn't know what to say.

"Little brother, I apologize to you for the recklessness of the apprentice just now. The old man was very polite, "My name is Yuan Xuanqi, I am older than you, if you don't mind, you can call me Grandpa Yuan or Senior Yuan." ”

Such an old man who was more than forty years older than himself apologized to himself, Zhang Jianfeng was also embarrassed, his face was flushed, and he said: "Senior, I didn't blame the little sister, but why did she appear there?"

Yuan Xuanqi laughed and said, "This qiē is all a misunderstanding......

Under the explanation of the old man Yuan Xuanqi, Zhang Jianfeng finally understood why the little girl appeared at that crossroads.

It turned out that the little girl He Huimin was Yuan Xuanqi's closed disciple, she was smart and clever, and she had already learned most of Yuan Xuanqi's Taoism at a young age.

Although He Huimin is proficient in Taoism, he is young and lacks experience, so Yuan Xuanqi personally took He Huimin out to travel and exercise. When the master and apprentice came to Hongcheng County, they happened to encounter this incident, so Yuan Xuanqi ordered the apprentice to catch this monster that preyed on human souls.

By mistake, when Zhang Jianfeng saw He Huimin dressed in black and carrying a white lantern, he thought that He Huimin was the monster that preyed on human souls. Zhang Jianfeng, who wanted to capture He Huimin, was restrained by He Huimin in turn, and was almost injured by this little girl.

"It turns out that Xiao Min is also a Taoist priest who catches ghosts, I hid in the dark, and saw Xiao Min sitting at the intersection with a white lantern, I thought she was looking for someone, thinking that she was preying on the souls of those people nearby. Zhang Jianfeng finally understood.

"Haha, it's over, it's a misunderstanding. Yuan Xuanqi touched the white beard on his chin and said with a smile.

"Misunderstanding, since it's okay, then senior, I'll go back first. That soul-hunting monster stole the soul of one of my relatives, and I must retrieve Uncle Xiao's soul. Zhang Jianfeng said hello to Yuan Xuanqi and prepared to leave.

"Little Brother Jianfeng, wait a minute. Yuan Xuanqi called out to Zhang Jianfeng, who was about to turn around and leave.

"Is there anything else going on with the seniors?" Zhang Jianfeng stopped and looked at the old man opposite.

"Don't hide it from my little brother, after the verification of the old way, I have already determined that this ghost that preys on human souls is a soul eater, but I am afraid that with your kung fu alone, you will not be able to clean up this soul eater. Yuan Xuanqi told the truth.

"Soul Eater?" Zhang Jianfeng said puzzled.

"That's right, it's a Soul Eater. Yuan Xuanqi explained, "This Soul Eater is a ghost creature that has stolen from Hell to the present world, it looks like a cockroach, but it only has four legs, and the two front legs are claws like silver hooks. This thing is very powerful, it may be that the Qingming Festival is approaching, and the ghost gate is about to open, and these ghost things take this opportunity to sneak into the world. ”

For this soul devouring beast, Zhang Jianfeng has also seen it from the Taoist book, this kind of ghost creature is born in the grave gathering place of human beings, and it is born by gathering the anger and resentment of human beings after death.

Generally speaking, shortly after the Soul Eater is formed, it will be taken away by the soul-attracting lamp of hell, or black and white impermanence, and will be imprisoned in hell and never be able to come out.

Zhang Jianfeng knew that he was not the opponent of this kind of ghost at all, and when he was hesitating, Yuan Xuanqi said: "If the little brother doesn't dislike it, just follow the old way, although my criminal is still young, but it is more than enough to deal with a mere life-eater." As long as the little brother follows us, we will surely be able to catch that Lifeeater tomorrow, and if you are lucky, maybe your Uncle Xiao's soul has not been digested yet. ”

Zhang Jianfeng was moved when he heard this: "Senior Yuan, we can deal with that Soul Eater now, why wait until tomorrow?"

Yuan Xuanqi laughed and said: "Little brother doesn't know, the lantern in the hands of the gangster is called the soul-attracting lamp, and we must use the power of this soul-attracting lamp before twelve o'clock to make my disciple invisible." ”

"Invisibility?" Zhang Jianfeng wondered, "I have seen the power of this white lantern, but I can't see that it has the effect of making people invisible, and I have been looking at it for a long time just now, but I haven't seen Xiao Min and her invisible?"

Yuan Xuanqi was very patient and slowly explained: "The fire of this soul-attracting lamp was originally a flame from hell, and it has magical power that can attract human souls. The invisibility I'm talking about here is just for ghosts and spirits and things like that, you're human, and of course you can see the apprentices. ”

"Senior, are you saying that if Xiao Min sits at that intersection with a soul-attracting lamp before twelve o'clock, although the human eye can see her, the demons and monsters can't see her?" Zhang Jianfeng seemed to understand.

"Yes, but there is still some stealth in this. Yuan Xuanqi replied.

"I see. Of course, Zhang Jianfeng understands that all sects of Taoism have their own secret techniques and beliefs, and some things are inconvenient to say directly, just like this method of invisibility, Yuan Xuanqi just skipped it slightly.

"Today, because there is a misunderstanding between the little brother and the criminal, this method of stealth is invalid, and we must wait until tomorrow. Yuan Xuanqi touched his white beard, "This Soul Eater is extremely cunning, if you don't stealth to it, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to catch!"

Until this time, Zhang Jianfeng has solved all the confusion, today's best time to catch the Lifestealer has passed, and it will only wait until tomorrow.

"Then there are senior Lao and Xiaomin Daoyou. Zhang Jianfeng knew very well in his heart that he would not be able to capture this Lifeeater with his own strength, and the only way now was to follow the master and apprentice of Yuan Xuanqi and He Huimin, and wait for the Lifestealer to be captured tomorrow to see if the souls that were hunted by it had been devoured and digested. xh118
