Chapter 8: Seeing the old man at the foot of Xuancang Mountain, there are powerful ghosts in Youtai Village

In a short time, he was already at the entrance of the village. Due to the heavy snowfall, the snow was white everywhere. At this time, it was noon, on the white roofs of each house, the smoke curled, life was no different from usual, Luo Zai was happy, stepping on the snow, and walked towards Aunt Zhang's house.

When I arrived at Aunt Zhang's house, I tidied up my clothes, and then pushed open the bamboo door, and the dog in the snow in the yard barked. Luo Zheng was a little surprised, when did he have another dog?

"Who?" said a puzzled inquiry from inside the room.

He was a little excited, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was Aunt Zhang's voice, and hurriedly said loudly: "I'm a robber!"

"Robber?" Aunt Zhang pushed open the door suspiciously, and when she saw Luo Zai stationed in the courtyard, her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "Robber, have you gone down the mountain?"

"Aunt Zhang, I went down the mountain to practice, passed by here, and came to take a look. What about Da Zhuang and Uncle Li?" Luo Zai said with a smile and stepped forward.

Aunt Zhang hasn't seen her for a few years, she is a little old, her hair has white threads, and the wrinkles on her face are getting deeper and deeper. Because mortals don't cultivate the Immortal Dao, after fifty years of knowing the destiny of heaven, it will be the countdown time.

"Come in quickly, it's cold outside" She saw that Luo Zai was thinly dressed, and she was afraid that he would be cold, so she hurriedly pulled him into the house.

"Aunt Zhang, don't worry, I can cultivate the Tao and am no longer afraid of the cold!" Luo Zai replied with a smile. Seeing that she kept talking to her hands, she was a little unbearable. quietly crossed some true yuan to her. It is not immortal, but it can also delay aging and resist the cold. Then he smiled and asked, "Where did Da Zhuang go?" and Uncle Li?"

"Da Zhuang went out to barter, you Uncle Li...... I'm sick and I'm lying in the house at the moment, unable to get up. Aunt Zhang restrained her smile and said in a deep voice.

Luo Zai frowned, hurriedly entered the house, and then turned around and entered the bedroom, and as soon as he entered, a smell of medicine came to his face. And Uncle Li was lying on the bed, coughing incessantly, and a towel was covered on his forehead. He hurriedly stepped forward and took Uncle Li's wrist to probe the pulse.

"Ahem, it's a small catastrophe. Are you going down the mountain?" Uncle Li felt it, slowly opened his eyes, saw him, pulled the corners of his mouth, and smiled weakly.

"Well, I'm ready to go down the mountain to practice. Luo Zheng replied, and then quietly crossed the true yuan into his body.

Uncle Li suddenly stopped, only to feel a warm flow into his lungs, his throat itched, and he couldn't help coughing violently. Then he hurriedly turned his head and choked a large mouthful of thick phlegm from his mouth.

Uncle Li instantly felt much more comfortable and stopped coughing. Aunt Zhang, who was pouring water on the side, was very happy when she saw Uncle Li's spirits, and turned her head and said, "Robber, what are the symptoms of Lao Li?"

"Long-term fatigue, depression and illness, plus infection with wind and cold. It's no big deal now, it's good to recuperate for a while later!" Luo Zai said with a smile.

"That's good, that's good. The robber has been there for a few years, but he has learned a good skill! Wait, my aunt will make you something to eat" Aunt Zhang turned around and ran out of the house and went to the kitchen.

Not long after, Da Zhuang also returned. He was very happy to see Luo Zheng, and pulled him to ask questions. It wasn't until Aunt Zhang shouted to eat that she stopped talking and sat down at the table to eat.

At the dinner table, several people pulled Luo Zheng and kept asking about his experience over the years. Luo Zheng smiled and gave them answers one by one, but Aunt Zhang and the three of them were a little sad to listen to, and it was not until he preached that he could cultivate the Tao that they all smiled.

After the meal, outside the bamboo courtyard!

"Aunt Zhang, Da Zhuang. It's cold outside, so you don't have to send it anymore. Luo Zai smiled, waved his hand at a few people, and walked towards the outside of the village.

"Robber!" Da Zhuang was a little reluctant, ran outside the courtyard, and called Luo Zai.

"Huh?" Luo Zai turned his head with a puzzled expression.

"Xuan Cang can accept a registered disciple?"

"Why is this question being asked all of a sudden?"

Da Zhuang was a little sad, and said with a smile: "During this time, my father was seriously ill and my mother was sad. Although I carry the burden of my family, I have nothing to do when it comes to illness. It's just that I know that Xuancang Mountain must enter the mountain to cultivate, so I asked if I would accept a registered disciple. ”

Luo Zai frowned and thought for a long time, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "Xuancang does not accept registered disciples. ”

Da Zhuang lowered his head a little depressed.

"However, I have a way! so that you can cultivate the Tao and take good care of Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li. ”

"Huh?" Da Zhuang looked up with a happy face.

"I'll tell you when I come back!"

Luo Zheng smiled, then turned his back to Da Zhuang and waved his hand, and left calmly!

..............................

Yunzhou, located in the east of Xuanming, is said to have tens of millions of square kilometers, but there are few imperial courts, but there are countless immortal Taoist gates, and the imperial court is weak, so it is generally not big. And some of the Daomen have established cities or villages in the mortal world. It has formed: Yunzhou is full of green mountains, and it is not obvious that it is inhabited; most of them are cultivators, and it is rare to see the scene of court officials.

And in the south of Yunzhou, there is a country, called the end of the day, there is a mountain in its territory, the name of the mountain is vast, there is no faction on the mountain, but there is an inn under the mountain, which is specially used for passing porters and rangers to rest and drink tea.

"Have you heard? The yin qi of Youtai Village is still lingering, and more than 30 people have disappeared in a row!"

"Didn't you invite a Taoist priest? And the imperial court has already sent someone to go, but there is still no way?"

"yes, didn't you come out too?"

"Don't you know? I'm afraid they're all dead. I saw people entering, but no people leaving. Now that the court has bid a hundred taels of silver, as long as he dares to go in and can come out, the one hundred taels will be his. ”

"The people in the village are also weird, why did they encounter this kind of thing?"

“......”

There was a lot of talking.

Recently, I heard that because someone moved the grave and entered Youtai Village, he may have touched something unclean, and he was missing, and the people of the same village raised money and wanted to invite a Taoist priest to collect him, but unfortunately he went to three in a row, but one did not return, and even the court was alarmed, and sent someone to investigate, but unfortunately he was still missing.

"Dare to ask a few people, where is Youtai Village going?" they were chatting, and a person sitting next to them suddenly asked them

"Go out and turn left, keep going forward, see a big stone, turn right, walk about three miles is Youtai Village. What are you doing there?" someone saw him and asked for directions, and although he was puzzled, he answered him.

"Little brother, don't you want to go there to collect ghosts, do you?

"That's right. There is no way to kill so many people, you are going to die!"

The others also looked at him and persuaded him not to take any risks.

And this person is Luo Zheng, he left Yundui Village and went all the way south, and traveled here half a month ago. Hearing them talking about the tour of Tai Village, I thought about trying my hand. If he wins, he will eliminate the harm for the people, and if he loses, he will also escape. It was a smile and said, "It's okay, if I can't accept it, I know how to escape." After saying that, he dropped a piece of broken silver, opened the door of the inn, and went out against the cold wind......

After he left the inn, he followed the route and soon arrived at the entrance of Youtai Village. Although there are houses in the village, there are no people, and there are no people.

"Anyone?" said Luo Zheng and shouted outside the village, but no one responded. So I simply walked into the village, and the result was obviously different, the temperature in the village plummeted, and the cold wind was blowing, which seemed a little desolate......

After a long time, a crack opened in a house, and a voice came out: "What is the young man doing here?"

"Of course, I'm here to catch ghosts. ”

"Shaoxia, that ghost is very fierce, if we hadn't been able to get out of there, we would have all been corpses a long time ago. Go away quickly, lest you lose your life in vain!" the man in the house turned pale and persuaded him to leave.

"It's noon, can you still make trouble?" Luo Zheng asked. Because he knows that ghosts are originally cold and yin bodies, and they are transformed after death, and they are most afraid of the sun, so they dare not appear at all during the day, and it is normal for him to have doubts.

"But the ghost is a little weird, it can appear day and night, and it is not afraid of the sun at all. ”

Luo Zai smiled: "I am a cultivator, why should I be afraid of ghosts?"

At this moment, the sound of "squeak" sounded, and the doors of one house after another opened, and the people inside walked out!

"Shaoxia is an immortal?"

"Immortals don't dare to be, they just know some small skills, it's not worth mentioning" Luo Zai scratched his head, a little embarrassed. Then he asked, "Tell me what is going on?"

"This ......" Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't know how to speak.

"I'll tell you. At this time, an old man walked out of the crowd tremblingly with a cane.

Luo Zai gave a salute and asked, "I don't know who the old man is?"

"My surname is Xu, and I am the village chief of this Youtai Village!" the old man waved his hand and said, "As for that ghost, I have to blame it." ”

I only heard the old man Xu say slowly with some sadness: "That ghost's name is Zhu Zixing, but he is my son-in-law, who is a scholar, I read him some literary talents, and married my daughter to him." In a fit of rage, I ordered the villagers to seize him, punish him with a rod for thirty years, and expose him to the sun for three days. ”

When the old man said this, he hesitated a little, and then said: "A few days ago, I was in love with the scene, and I wanted to tear down the house, where did I think that his soul had turned into a terrible ghost, and he came to ask for his life, and the villagers who went with him were all killed by him, but fortunately he couldn't get out of the house, and I was able to escape." These days, we have raised money to invite Taoist priests, all of whom have been in and out, but he has become more and more powerful, and now he is not afraid of the sun, water and fire, and he has the ability to take things......"

"Why can't he get out of the house?" Luo Zai was a little puzzled. After death, the soul returns to heaven, and it is already free, but there is impermanence to ask for life, so it cannot harm anyone. Unless............ There is a grievance...... will turn into a ghost.

"We don't know. During the day, he was fine, but at night he was extremely powerful, so we didn't dare to go out for fear of being photographed and killed by him," said a villager on the side.

"That is, it used to be the same village. How can he do it?"

"Does the Immortal Chief have a countermeasure?"

Luo Zheng was also a little puzzled, but only when he went to check it out would he understand the reason. So he immediately said, "Where is that house?"

"Turn left ahead. The villagers hurried to show him the way.

Luo Zheng nodded and walked towards his destination.

In a short time, they were in front of what they called the haunted courtyard. As far as the eye can see, the ground is overgrown with weeds, the house is in tatters, and the wooden door hangs diagonally at the entrance of the room, and it is a long time away at first glance. He didn't dare to slack off, quietly picked up the true yuan as he walked, put his fingers together, and walked into the courtyard vigilantly...... The courtyard was quiet, and the silence was a little eerie, and only the sound of him stepping on the weeds could be heard......

Step by step, I finally walked to the door. "Bang dang", the wooden door was already rotten, and Luo Zheng only touched it slightly, and then fell off the door frame and fell to the ground...... Looking inside, the house was pitch black, completely invisible, like a giant beast that had chosen people to devour, waiting for him to step in......

Luo Zai swallowed his saliva, and his lips were a little dry. He went down the mountain for a long time, and although he saw a lot of customs and customs, he was actually still a rookie and had never fought with anyone at all. However, since it has come, how can this first step be taken......

"Squeak", he took out a candle from the Qiankun bag and lit it, and by the faint light of the candle, he finally mustered up the courage to enter the house...... The room was a mess, with tattered and yellowed walls, dusty desks, and cobwebs all over the corners. Narrow...... Gloomy, this is Luo Zheng's first impression.

"No one......" he muttered to himself, continuing to walk inside. Slowly, some dark spots appeared on the wall...... I don't know, it's closer...... I can finally see it clearly, it's blood...... Thirsty bloodstains...... He went further inside and saw the collapsed bed, the futon was black and red, and there was a floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror standing next to it...... There was also blood on it......

"The wind and rain are miserable, the roosters are chirping, and I see the gentleman. The wind and rain are dashing, and the chickens are chirping. When you see a gentleman, the clouds are not bad, the wind and rain are like obscurity, and the roosters are crowing. Seeing a gentleman, don't you like it?" At this time, a man's reading voice suddenly came from the bronze mirror, as if he was happy and sad...... The voice is soft...... Very light.

Following the sound, Luo Zai approached the bronze mirror step by step, only to see that there were only blood stains on the bronze mirror, where was there anyone...... And the faint murmur was emitted by a wooden hairpin...... He breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to reach out to take the wooden hairpin, not wanting to glance at it, but saw two figures reflected in the bronze mirror in the candlelight.

One is him, the other is a little vague...... Standing behind him...... Luo Zai's heart trembled, and he turned his head slightly stiffly...... But there was nothing behind him...... When he turned his head again, he was the only one left in the realm. Suddenly, another figure appeared inside...... The figure was wearing a floral dress, and walked in one by one, but it seemed to be separated by a light veil, and it was not very clear.

He enlisted, trying to get closer to see clearly, but saw that his face was reflected in the bronze mirror...... And...... Another face...... The face was tattered and half gone, supporting his shoulders...... Smile in the mirror......

Luo Zheng's hair exploded in an instant, and he groaned in cold sweat behind his back, and he picked up the true yuan, and turned around with a punch. It's a pity that he hit the air, the back is empty, where is there someone, he doesn't dare to take it lightly, bows his back slightly, and becomes defensive. But unexpectedly, a cold hand reached out from behind and patted him gently...... Luo Zheng turned his head stiffly, and finally saw clearly...... I saw that the man was wearing a corroded scholar's uniform, full of holes, black blood oozing slightly, flowing down the broken clothes, the most terrible thing was the head, as if it had been corroded, the face was pitted, the head was attacked by some heavy object, only half of it was left, and the wriggling brain marrow in the head could be seen bleeding pus...... The other half of his head was covered with gray hair, and he was pulling his mouth at this time, showing a smile that he thought was very kind to Luo Zheng, but it looked even more terrifying!

Luo Zai's eyes suddenly glared at the boss, and he was frightened. Gripping his hand tightly, he picked up Zhenyuan and threw a punch at him, but this punch directly pierced the man's body through ....... The man looked at him blankly, then looked down at the pierced body, and his smile gradually became hideous......

"Look for death!" the scholar muttered, his body glowing red, and he waved his hand with a punch......

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out. Luo Zhengyin had studied Taoism by Yin Lingzi's side for a year, and he had some understanding of filthy things. There are five elements in the human body, and among the five elements, the heart belongs to fire, and people die like lights go out, but they don't know that the heart of the living is the fire of the heart, and death is the fire of the yin. Impermanence asks for life, and the dementor concentrates on the heart, so that it can be brought into the underworld, and there is nothing to do. Therefore, he carried the true yuan, pinched the ghost seal in his hand, and did not leave the scholar's chest step by step, attacking his heart.

The scholar is not a good type, he is not afraid of his attack, his hands are hooked, and he sticks into his eyes. The house where the two hit shook, miscellaneous items flew in the house, and roof tiles fell "in a row".

Luo Zheng was shocked, this scholar is so strong and extremely fast, if he hadn't cultivated the forbidden body technique and had the Demon Dao Technique as a foundation, he might not have been able to support it for a long time. Even so, his physical strength gradually weakened, and the scholar saw the opportunity and knocked him away with a punch...... The body flying in the air smashed into the wall along the way, was knocked out of the house, and rolled down the yard......

"Ahem" Luo Zai covered his chest, coughed twice, stood up, and was horrified. Only then did he understand that there was a ghost? It was clearly a "demon"! How could there be a ghost with a body and soul? Knowing that he was invincible, he turned around to resist the wind and wanted to rush out of the courtyard. Unexpectedly, there was a suction force from behind, and he did not obey the call with his hands and feet, like a lamb to the slaughter being slowly sucked into the house......

"Another idiot who came to die!" ......

In the distance, a man with a bronze grimace was sitting on a tree branch, looking towards the house, then sneered and turned and flew off into the distance......
