Chapter Forty-Six: The Book of the Dead

The ruins of the Puyun Temple look extremely bleak in the autumn wind.

Mu Daoren lay in a makeshift broken shed, drank two mouthfuls of pork soup that was still hot, and lay down again.

"The ghosts of Longmen Village in Shilipo are likely to be water ghosts," Mu Daoren slowly said to everyone: "Water ghosts are those who have drowned in the river and have never floated corpses, and their bodies have borne the yin qi that breeds somewhere in the earth's crust, thus giving birth to an alternative kind of sanity. ”

"In other words, that Wang Fu'an died of drowning?" Rong Li asked.

"If he is really killed by a ghost, there is only this possibility" Mu Daoren nodded and said: "Xiao Dao has been to Longmen Village in the past, but he has never found out where the ghost's yin hole is, and now that I think about it, the ghost's yin hole is probably in a deep pool somewhere in the river!" ”

"Since the water ghost moves in the water, how did it eat those pigs and cows?" Zhang Xuezhou doubted.

"Water ghosts usually move in the water, but they are not unable to go ashore," Mu Dao said: "Once this kind of evil thing lacks the living conditions, it will inevitably come out and eat livestock and people, and they will use the essence and blood of people and livestock to extend their life in the world!" ”

"Then why did the water ghost eat a lot of pigs and cows, but never ate Wang Fu'an? Is it full? ”

"This?"

The Mudao people considered a lot of things, and they all considered the water ghosts according to the local rumors and the yin qi they were looking for.

It wasn't until he was reminded by Zhang Xuezhou that he realized the difference between the two.

The former is to let the pig and cow disappear quietly, while the latter is to leave the corpse, and the results of the two are different after they are killed.

It's a bit untenable for a single water ghost to harm people.

"There are indeed traces of the obscure aura of the Yin Thing over there, maybe there are two ghosts?" The Mudao man guessed: "There is a ghost that sucks the flesh and blood of livestock, and another ghost kills Wang Fu'an!" ”

"Two?"

Zhang Xuezhou's face was slightly ugly, and Rong Li and the others had numb scalps.

"Cousin, why don't you go to the yamen to get ten rods?" Zhang Xuezhou suggested.

"Cousin, don't bring such a pit cousin" Rong Tianding said dejectedly: "You gave me the idea of painting immortals, but now I am being beaten, or I will confess you, and one person will be divided into five rods." ”

"Then Master Bao is willing to punish him like this," Zhang Xuezhou said: "Don't you commute my sentence if you confess to me at that time, but because of the crime of harboring relevant facts in the court, you will be punished with ten more rods." ”

"I can't hold on to ten rods, twenty rods will kill me, if this is the case, I'd rather fight ghosts," Rong Tianding said worriedly.

"Dao Chief, you have a specialization in the art industry, since you have experience in killing ghosts, why don't you teach us a few tricks!"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the Mu Dao man who was still in the recuperation period, and felt that even if he gave the Mu Dao man a sum of money, this old man would not be able to contribute.

And it is not reliable to go back to the yamen to lead the fight.

Things have to be solved eventually, Zhang Xuezhou wants to see if there is any way for the Mudao people.

really let Rong Li, the butcher, take their group of weak chickens to catch ghosts, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to see ghosts, and when he found out, there was a high probability that someone had already died.

"Don't hide it from Zhang Gongzi, Xiaodao is the outer disciple of the Fierce Ghost Sect of the Corpse Sect, he has never entered the inner door to practice advanced techniques, and he has only learned the fur technique of raising ghosts with both hands, I used to use the hanging ghost to fight ghosts, but now the hanging ghost is gone, and I am helpless in the face of ghosts!"

Bai Aya raising ghosts is a technique that Mu Dao people have practiced all their lives, but this technique was instantly destroyed after being imprisoned by Zhang Xuezhou.

The Mudao people still haven't figured out the key.

He just used the ability of a ghost to manipulate Zhang Xuezhou to scare the Rong family, but he didn't expect that the frightened one would eventually become himself.

It stands to reason that Zhang Xuezhou has the ability to destroy hanged ghosts in an instant, and he should have the ability to kill ghosts.

Hearing Zhang Xuezhou's inquiry, the Mudao people immediately waved their hands again and again to shirk it.

"You can think of a way again" Zhang Xuezhou said: "Don't look at me, I just have some connection with the Northern Military Region, and I am not as professional as you in catching ghosts!" ”

Mu Dao people are open and honest in their words, and Zhang Xuezhou can only say his origins, so as not to make the other party cranky.

He really can't do it, and he can't stand to fight ghosts.

As for why the Mudao people cast spells to attack themselves, Zhang Xuezhou still hasn't figured out the connection.

In short, the Mudao people thought that Zhang Xuezhou had defeated him, and Zhang Xuezhou didn't know how he had defeated the other party.

In their own eyes, the Mudao people think that Zhang Xuezhou is the pride of heaven in a certain holy land, and Zhang Xuezhou knows very well that his ability is far inferior to the Mudao people.

He is a budding newcomer who has just started his cultivation, and no matter how unique he is, he is unlikely to be the opponent of a 'Blood Piercing Realm powerhouse' like the Mu Dao people.

This was the only inbound cultivator that Zhang Xuezhou knew and knew in Rongcheng, and it was impossible for him to go to find anyone else.

That's why Zhang Xuezhou asked the Mudao people to help again and again.

"But the trail is ...... Xiaodao is really poor, by the way, you raise your buttocks, open the box below, and I will rummage through the corpse book inside to see if there is any suitable method for catching water ghosts! ”

"Oh!"

Mu Daoren pointed to the box where Zhang Xuezhou was sitting, which made Zhang Xuezhou get up suddenly.

He pulled the bolt from the box, and rummaged through the pile of clothes before he found a book of animal hides.

Looking at the extremely scribbled words 'Corpse Treasure Book' on the animal skin book, Zhang Xuezhou took a look at some of the remaining handwriting in the ruins of the Taoist Temple.

"This is Xiao Dao's painstaking and painstaking efforts, and I heard from the senior brothers and sisters of the sect that I heard about catching ghosts and controlling ghosts!"

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou's attentive gaze, Mu Daoren's old face turned red.

"There are a lot of these magic techniques, why do you only raise ghosts?" Zhang Xuezhou doubted.

He flipped through the treasure book of corpses, and saw that one after another ghost catching techniques were recorded on the animal skin, and he saw that the description was better than the ability of the wooden daoist.

"First, Xiaodao's qualifications are limited, and secondly, ...... The second is that these techniques are incomplete" Mu Daoren said helplessly: "My senior brothers and sisters have repeatedly sent me to work, but the techniques I told me are all cut by piece, and they have never been complete!" ”

"Then your senior brother and sister are really good to you!"

Zhang Xuezhou flipped through the corpse book, only to feel that Mu Daoren's early life was not easy, and there was not much difference between him being treated by Li Jiao.

The art of hiding and tucking is naturally difficult to cultivate to a high level, and it is better to be specialized and refined than to be broad and complex.

This may also be the reason why the Mudao people concentrate on raising hanged ghosts.

It's just that the 'essence' of the Mudao people is limited, and the single-minded technique is broken, and the remaining abilities are uncountable.

Zhang Xuezhou flipped over, and the wooden Taoist also kept explaining the relevance.

It wasn't until more than 20 pages turned that the two saw a technique.

"Why don't you practice?"

Mu Daoren looked at Zhang Xuezhou.

The cultivation entry seeds are different, the techniques that are suitable are different, and the end points that can be reached by cultivation are also different.

But the art on the corpse book is not to mention the end, and even the content of the starting point is incomplete.

In this case, it is not important whether the cultivation is compatible or not, and whether the cultivation can be achieved to perfection.

If Zhang Xuezhou wants to have one more temporary means, Mudao people feel that the other party can practice.

For some gifted and intelligent people, it is entirely possible to learn an entry-level technique in a short period of time.
