Yang Chenglin smiled beside me and persuaded me:

"Brother, don't be angry. This old Taoist seems to have a hard time, let's take a look first, don't hurt him first. ”

I think it's strange that Yang Chenglin has never been a soft-minded person, although he can be regarded as an upright and kind person, but he never easily pities anyone in small things, so he shouldn't have taken the wrong medicine today.

So I asked:

"When did Yang Daochang become so bodhisattva-hearted?"

Yang Chenglin smiled awkwardly and said:

"No, no, it's just because this living corpse is extremely difficult to form, and the most important thing is to have a great obsession. I don't know what this old obsession is? Why was obsession able to support him to exist as a living corpse for hundreds of years, guarding this group of lonely souls and wild ghosts, struggling to support. I wonder why. ”

I see, hearing Yang Chenglin say this, I looked back again at this old man, and watched him and the old monk compete with each other.

Because this elder good Taoist tried to absorb the evil qi released by the evil spirits released from the ghost city to strengthen the chains without success, the power of the chains became weaker and weaker.

The souls of the dead who were bound by the chains also sensed this, and began to struggle harder, and with the blessing of the old monk's scriptures, they stalemate for about ten minutes, only to hear the sound of metal shattering.

The long chains that connected the souls of hundreds of Qing soldiers shattered in an uproar, and hundreds of souls broke free in an instant.

Elder Changshan was shocked, and hurriedly put his sword across his chest and made a defensive posture, probably fearing that this revenant would turn to take revenge on him.

However, under the power of the scriptures recited by the old monk, these hundreds of Qing soldiers had no idea of seeking revenge from the old Taoist priest, but they all stood quietly in front of the old monk.

The souls of the Qing soldiers disappeared one by one under the illumination of those golden runes, and the souls of the dead were overtaken one after another.

This old monk is really powerful, it seems that he has cultivated into a Buddha.

Only then did I know that the old monk had stayed in this ghost market for three hundred years, just to overtake these souls, but the souls had been bound by the soul hook rope of this good old way, and for three hundred years, the excess was useless, and the souls could not be sent away, and the monk did not leave.

The behavior of this old monk is really touching.

Seeing that the souls of the Qing soldiers were all overtaken away, Changshan Lao Dao was furious, and waved his sword and went straight to the monk.

Seeing that the sword was about to approach, I was about to start to stop it, but I saw the Buddhist beads in the monk's hand thrown out and hung in front of me, and the golden light on the Buddhist beads was shining, resisting the sword stabbed by this old way.

This old Taoist surrounded the monk and killed him, but he could not hurt the monk in the slightest, and the monk never fought back except for resisting with Buddha beads.

At this moment, perhaps sensing the transcendent scriptures recited by the monks here, countless powerful ghosts also began to slowly gather here.

Elder Changshan was extremely angry, he glanced around angrily, and the dust in his hand shook a few times towards the surrounding ghosts. Immediately, a white power restrained all the ghosts like ribbons and pulled them back.

Under this restraint, the ghosts seemed to be in great pain, and let out all kinds of wails, and more resentment rose to the sky.

I think it's a little incredible, how can this withered old way restrain so many evil ghosts and ghosts with the power of one person? Even if I borrow the power of the Black Taiji Realm, it is estimated that it will be difficult to do it.

"This elder good old man has two strokes, and these few times have bound so many dead souls, and it is estimated that the two of us will not be able to do it together."

I looked at the bound ghosts and said.

Yang Chenglin's face was solemn, and he spoke for a long time:

"This Changshan Daoist has used the Fortune Exchange Technique, and he will not be able to achieve the Great Dao in the rest of his life. This technique goes against the sky and reverses luck, which is a taboo for those who learn the Tao. ”

I've never heard of the exchange technique, I don't know what it is, so Yang Chenglin explained it to me.

In order to perform the Fortune Movement Technique, one must have an extremely advanced cultivation and carry profound blessings in oneself, which is expected to achieve the achievements of heaven and man, so that it can be used successfully.

With one's own cultivation and the blessings of one's life and life, he traded with the evil spirit, in exchange for the power of the evil ghost, and his wish has been fulfilled, and once his wish is completed, the blessing of his cultivation will return to the evil ghost.

"Then what do the demons want these things for?"

"Evil spirits are mostly evil doers in life, and after death, they go through thousands of calamities in hell, and someone must surpass them. But these people did a lot of evil in life, and no one will pity them after death, so most evil spirits have no one to overdo for them. If they want to get out of the sea of hell suffering, in addition to being humanized, they have to exchange luck with people who have advanced cultivation and great blessings, and help these people fulfill their wishes with their evil powers, and then they can get the opportunity to get out of the evil path and re-enter the cycle with the luck they have obtained. ”

"So that's the case, this Taoist family still has this kind of anti-heaven spell!" I couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a pity that this Changshan Daoist can perform the Luck Exchange Technique, and his Dao method will never be under my master Qingyunzi during his lifetime, he may have already passed the thunder tribulation, and if the tribulation is successful, he will be able to autopsy into an immortal immediately, I really don't know what kind of obsession will make him come to such a point, hey!"

As soon as the old monk saw the silver ribbons of light, which bound thousands of evil ghosts, his expression was suddenly full of grief, and he turned to me and Yang Chenglin and said:

"Bother the two Dao Masters, help me stop the Changshan Daoist."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and recited, and suddenly sat down and gave birth to a lotus flower, holding the monk to rise slowly, and at the same time, the sound of the monk's mouth chanting scriptures became louder and louder, and the sound was like a bell, echoing over the entire ghost market.

All of a sudden, the golden light shone brightly, enveloping the entire ghost market in it.

As he recited the scriptures, the prayer beads in the monk's hand shattered one by one, and each time they shattered, thousands of points of light fell on the heads of the evil ghosts in the ghost market.

Suddenly, all the evil ghosts in the ghost market stood quietly, looking up at the old monk in the air, it seemed that the monk was overtaking the evil ghosts again.

At this time, Yang Chenglin said lightly beside him:

"The old monk is now using, which is also equivalent to the exchange of luck, the string of Buddhist beads in his hand is his own life and merit, the Buddha beads are broken one by one, falling on the head of the evil ghost, which is equivalent to sharing his fortune and merit to the evil ghost, in exchange for the fortune of the good Taoist, so that the good Taoist will not be torn apart by the evil ghost, otherwise the good Taoist will be robbed, and the cultivation will be divided, and the soul will be scattered. But in doing so, the old monk may pass away from then on. ”

At this moment, I noticed that as the Buddhist beads in the monk's hand in mid-air shattered one by one, his soul seemed to be about to break away from his body.

Looking at the monk and the shattered Buddha beads in mid-air, the Changshan Daoist below seemed to have woken up, and he wanted to rush over to stop it, but I hurriedly released two black and red mist in my hand to bind this person to death.

The man shouted into the air:

"Huiyuan, I don't need you to do too much, you stop it!"

But the old monk seemed to be completely inaudible, and continued to recite the scriptures without stopping.

As the beads shattered more and more, the number of demons on the ground gradually decreased, and it seemed that they had been tempered and left.

There are fewer and fewer evil spirits in the ghost market. It was not as bustling as before, and the Changshan Daoist on the ground began to howl like killing pigs in the air, while the old monk in the air was unmoved.

At this time, I only felt that the power that bound this Changshan Daoist had a slight fluctuation, and when I turned around, I saw that the ghost of the Changshan Daoist had actually left the physical body.

"It turns out that I have really been dead for nearly three hundred years!"

Changshan Daoist looked down at his body, and then at his own body that was bound by me, and stood in place and muttered.

The expression on his face was cloudy, as if he remembered something, and then he looked at the monk in the air, and his expression became extremely sad, and he just shouted over and over again:

"Huiyuan, stop it, I already know it's wrong, let me pay my own debts, you don't care anymore."

The old monk hanging in mid-air remained silent and continued to recite the scriptures.

Strings of runes glowing with golden light kept appearing from his mouth, accompanied by the broken golden light of the Buddha beads, and they sank into the evil spirits below.

The old monk used his life to transcend the evil ghosts, and in the process of dying, he overtook all the evil ghosts in this ghost city, sending them out of hell and entering reincarnation.

Yang Chenglin and I looked at the scene in front of us, but we were helpless, we could only quietly watch the last Buddha bead in the old monk's hand being crushed.

There were no more demons on the earth, and even the ghosts that accompanied Tabel had left with this transcendent light.

In the end, only Tabel was left.

The old monk's body slowly fell from mid-air to the ground, and at the same time, his soul also came out of his body, stood next to him and gave me and Yang Chenglin a deep salute, and said:

"Thanks to the two Dao Masters for being able to come here today and help me, I can break the painful cycle of reincarnation for three hundred years, and today I can finally pass away with peace of mind."

This Changshan Taoist stood beside him, his face full of remorse and guilt, and said to the old monk:

"Master, it's all my fault for being obsessed with my thoughts, and causing you to plan for me for three hundred years. I know that I am wrong today, and I wish to follow you to listen to the teachings from now on. ”

But so far, Yang Chenglin and I have never known what the reason for this Changshan Old Dao is, and he has such a big obsession that he even uses the Luck Exchange Technique even at the cost of dying.

So Changshan Dao Chang told us about the past.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the rebels attacked on a large scale, overthrowing the Ming Dynasty and establishing the Qing Dynasty.

This Changshan Dao was born in the Ming Dynasty, he became a monk since he was a child, he was extremely intelligent, and he completed the tribulation at a young age, and he was only one step away from the immortal road.

However, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he could not accept the fact that the mountains and rivers changed hands, and whenever he thought of the old country, he was unwilling and hated the Manchu government very much.

Suddenly, one day, he suddenly had the heart to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and this idea was out of control as soon as it came out, so he used all his life to learn and build an army to overthrow the Qing regime.

But after all, the power to control this paper man and grass horse came from him alone, and his strength was limited, not enough to resist the Qing Dynasty army.

He turned to think that in the early years, he was blocked by evil ghosts on the road to the middle of the map at night, and he fought with the evil ghosts for almost a night before he barely subdued them. He suddenly thought that if he snare thousands of undead demons and then attack the Qing army with the power of evil ghosts, he would definitely be able to overthrow the rule of the Qing Dynasty, rebuild the old country, and restore the old homeland.

Thinking of this, he was excited, so he began to prepare. He first chose the foot of a desolate mountain with extremely heavy yin qi, and then summoned the nine demons with a talisman and cast a fortune exchange spell on these evil ghosts. Naturally, the demons agreed.

Since then, he has driven evil spirits to continuously attack the Qing army, and the Qing army has also suffered a lot of damage under his harassment. He even tied up the souls of hundreds of Qing soldiers here for his use.

However, due to getting along with these evil spirits day and night, the yin and evil invaded the body, and the body of this Changshan Taoist was also greatly damaged, and suddenly one day, the Changshan Taoist died in a dream.

But he was immortal, with a strong obsession with the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, he made himself a living corpse, and his soul continued to stay in the corpse. At first, he also felt that his body didn't seem to be very controlled, but it would be good to use some solid spells for himself.

In this way, his soul has always existed in the dead body, and he continues to run around the world with these evil ghosts and souls, and nearly three hundred years have passed before he knows it.

During this period, his best friend, Monk Huiyuan, repeatedly persuaded him, and then saw that he was dead, but he became a living corpse, and he wanted to let go of his obsession.

Even though the Changshan Daoist was dead, he still controlled those dead souls and imagined the restoration of the Qing Dynasty, and the monk Huiyuan chased him and persuaded him for nearly three hundred years.

At this point, the matter has become clear, and Monk Huiyuan reminded me and Yang Chenglin:

"I and Changshan Dao people have always been at the foot of a mountain thousands of miles away from here, I don't know why, I was brought here by a strong force last night, in this ghost city, I am afraid that there are people behind the plot to do bad things, you two should pay more attention."

Yang Chenglin and I nodded in thanks.

The monk Huiyuan also left with Changshan Taoist.

But just after a few steps, the man turned to look at us again and asked:

"I don't know if you can tell me, what year and month is it now, have I returned to the country?"

Yang Chenglin laughed and said:

"Don't say it's your Ming Dynasty, even my Qing Dynasty is dead, it's now the eighteenth year of the Republic of China, many forces are fighting, and it's a troubled time again."

I really want to tell him that after the Republic of China, it will be New China, the world will be reunified, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, food and clothing will be worry-free, and there will be no wars again.

But after thinking about it, he didn't say anything, because he didn't want to explain to Yang Chenglin again.

After listening to Yang Chenglin's words, this Changshan Taoist didn't know whether he was happy or sad, he suddenly lowered his head and covered his face with his hands, his shoulders trembled violently, and his mouth made a sound of "hehehehehe", and for a while he couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing.
