After a stick of incense, Xu Yuan was already declining.

This was the biggest trouble he had encountered since he became a monk.

In terms of skill, whether it is a fox demon or a yaksha, they are far stronger than this paper ghost.

In terms of weirdness, the yaksha is better than the paper ghosts.

However, without the guidance of his master Zhang Zhenren, he couldn't even subdue a paper ghost with a similar cultivation.

Even if Xu Yuan is not a brave and ruthless person, it is difficult to accept this kind of self-evaluation for a while.

He began to take a deep breath, thinking in his mind what to do.

"Paper ghosts, paper ghosts, paper ghosts...... Wrong wrong. Xu Yuan's eyes lit up and he made a new discovery, "Why does the Zhen Mansion only purchase a large amount of paper during the autumn rainy season, so that paper is as expensive as a person?" ”

"Why don't you buy all year round?"

Soon, Xu Yuan had an answer.

In the autumn rainy season, the drizzle is continuous and the climate is humid.

Luzhen is damp, and many items such as bedding, cloth, and grain at this time of year may become moldy.

paper, even more so.

Although wet paper can also be written, the overall quality of toughness, elasticity and other aspects has declined, and the utility value of various functions has been greatly reduced.

The paper ghost used the paper to reshape his body, so that Xu Yuan's green fox bracelet could not hurt it in the slightest.

But it also reveals a hidden message.

It was the body of a paper ghost, nothing special, it was made up of paper all over the ground.

Because in the wet season, after a piece of paper is taken out, it will become wet and soft in half a day, and it will not form a shape.

Therefore, paper ghosts need a lot of paper to replace them, so as to form a new body.

This is why in addition to dry paper, there are also many moistened and wet papers in Mr. Zhen's house.

So, the water ...... It's the life of a paper ghost!

Xu Yuan suddenly realized.

It's my own photo.

With cultivation and mana, he always wants to fight with the other party in terms of magic, and ignores the reliance that he was able to kill the demon fox with a mortal body at the beginning.

What is the foundation of one's own life?

Cultivation?

No, Xu Yuan is just a beginner monk, and cultivation is by no means his strength.

Magic?

No, he is an idle cultivator, although he worships under Zhang Zhenren, but compared to the real disciples of the sect, the cultivation of magic is much inferior.

He himself really depended on...... It's wisdom and knowledge!

It's a fiery eye that can see through the roots of demons!

Paper, afraid of water and fire, this is the truth of heaven and earth.

The fire can't be summoned by itself.

But water, isn't that a coincidence!

Airplanes!

The green fox bracelet stopped rotating and flew back into Xu Yuan's palm.

"What, throw in the towel?" Mrs. Zhen said, "That's it, then I won't embarrass you, as long as you swear not to tell others what you have heard and seen today, I can let you go." ”

This Mrs. Zhen is not bad.

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Zhen, but ...... Not necessarily. ”

"Look for death!" Mrs. Zhen noticed the fluctuation of mana, and as soon as she raised her hand, the paper flying in the sky centered on Xu Yuan, rapidly rotating and cutting, like a paper tornaise.

However, in the next moment, a dark cloud appeared in the center of the paper tornado, enveloping Xu Yuan, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder in it.

"Little Cloud and Rain Technique!"

The light in Xu Yuan's hand flickered, the magic trick was pinched, and the torrential rain poured down.

The paper melts when it encounters water and falls to the ground, and there is no reaction at all.

Xu Yuan stepped forward.

Dark clouds moved with his footsteps.

Further, he seemed to have eroded a gap in the storm of paper.

Step by step, walking towards Mrs. Zhen, the paper spout collapsed.

"Don't ...... Stay back! "Mrs. Zhen wants to escape.

However, the blue light flickered, and the green fox bracelet was always able to break her up.

After she regrouped her body, Xu Yuan was getting closer and closer to her.

And because of the accumulation of rainwater, water began to gurgle on the ground. A lot of the paper was wet and could not be driven by the paper ghost, and Mrs. Zhen had fewer and fewer materials to reconstruct her body, and the speed of reassembly became slower and slower.

In the end, Xu Yuan came to Mrs. Zhen's side.

It only takes one more step to make Mrs. Zhen disappear by the torrential rain.

Defeat the enemy!

The winner is decided!

At this moment, Master Zhen rushed out of the house: "The little fairy spare his life, spare his life!" ”

Poof.

Master Zhen knelt in front of Xu Yuan.

"My wife didn't deceive me, I knew that she was a paper ghost, and asked the little fairy to raise her noble hand and spare her life." Old Man Zhen couldn't kneel and kowtowed again and again.

Xu Yuan's face sank because of this.

Does Master Zhen know?

So...... Master Zhen helped the paper ghost collect paper while helping him find children to eat?

This......

Heinous!

Or is this paper ghost also proficient in the art of bewitchment and messed up Master Zhen's sanity?

"How many children have you killed!" Xu Yuan spoke.

"Harm?" Master Zhen's mind was racing, and he already knew what was wrong, so he quickly explained, "There is no harm, it is not harm." Little fairy, you have received the magic power first, let me come one by one. My surname Zhen swears to the sky, my husband and wife have accumulated virtue and done good deeds all their lives, and they have never done anything that is sorry for the conscience of heaven and earth. ”

Seeing that Master Zhen's expression did not seem to be fake, and he had a flying star as his last support, Xu Yuan also received his magical powers.

No matter how fast the paper ghost is, it can't be as fast as a flying star.

Let alone...... His true yuan is really not enough for him to continue to maintain the Xiaoyun Rain Technique.

In the past, I always felt why the immortals and spirits in the stories of Zhiwei always did not use magic and magic until the critical moment, and had to go around in such a big circle to do all kinds of things.

Now Xu Yuan gradually realized it.

The cost of the spell is too great, and if it is not necessary, ordinary monks will not easily use it.

If he didn't have the true yuan of that Jiazi, even if he mastered the Xiaoyun Rain Technique, he might not be able to persist until the moment when all the papers in the courtyard were wet.

Ordinary techniques are still like this, and the techniques of chasing stars and chasing the moon and moving mountains and reclamation are even more than ordinary monks can think of.

……

It turned out that Mr. Zhen and his wife were famous for doing good deeds, but unfortunately Mrs. Zhen suffered from a vicious illness ten years ago.

Seeing that he was about to die in Huangquan, a warlock who had been saved by Master Zhen came to repay his kindness and helped Mrs. Zhen shape the body of a paper ghost, so that she could continue her life and continue to accompany Master Zhen until a hundred years later.

However, this paper ghost body has two major death holes.

It's fire and water.

Therefore, Master Zhen strictly forbade an open fire in Zhen's mansion, and then let Mrs. Zhen stay away from the room, and it would be fine.

Can be water...... The sky of Luzhen is like this, no matter how capable Master Zhen is, he can't change the climate of a place.

Therefore, he can only prepare more paper in the autumn rain season for Mrs. Zhen to replace in time.

As for the children in Dongcao Village mentioned before, it was because Mrs. Zhen knew that she could not give birth to an heir for Master Zhen. Master Zhen was determined not to marry another wife and take a concubine, so he could only raise children.

But Master Zhen is not willing to be raised, he would rather have no children under his knees, and his daughter can be dispersed, except for Mrs. Zhen, he really has nothing that he can't let go.

For this matter, the two have quarreled for many years, and recently Mrs. Zhen forced each other to die, so Master Zhen compromised.

"Little fairy, you are affectionate and righteous, and you have received the grace of the city god here, and you want to repair the temple for it. As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, the little fairy made a move to subdue my wife, and the original intention was also for Zhen's good. Master Zhen said, "So the repair of this City God Temple, you can rest assured that you will leave it to me." ”

"From now on, Zhen is willing to pay tribute to the city god, repair the temple for him, and add incense. Let its incense continue, the candle will not be extinguished, the golden body will be molded, and the good name will be spread! ”

Xu Yuan nodded and said, "That's it, great goodness." Your husband and wife will be blessed if they do good deeds and accumulate virtues. ”

After some politeness, Xu Yuan said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Zhen.

But back in the courtyard, Xu Yuan thought about it, and always felt that this matter was not quite what he wanted.

He went back several times and finally found the problem.

At the beginning, it was he who asked for Zhen's mansion.

Later, after a fight with Mrs. Zhen, Master Zhen helped him solve the problem of the City God Temple.

But what did he give?

Could it be that just because he is stronger than Mrs. Zhen, if Master Zhen does not obey, he can kill Mrs. Zhen?

In order to protect himself, Master Zhen paid tribute to the City God.

This kind of forcible behavior is not the way that Xu Yuan wants to cultivate.

If there is no exchange, he will not repair this City God Temple!

Call!

The cold wind howled in the courtyard, like the wail of the city god.

Coincidentally, at this time, Zhang Zhenren came back from outside.

In recent days, he has been out a lot.

Xu Yuan's eyes rolled, his own difficulties, Shizun may have a way.
