At sunset, Li Chongli and the Taoist priest embarked on a journey to catch ghosts under the afterglow of the setting sun, one face was full of smiles, and the other face was full of confidence. There were bursts of warblers behind him, as if wishing the hero a triumphant return.

However, now Li Chongli has no bottom in his heart, although he has done a lot of assassination, but the first time he wants to make a move on the ghost, it really makes him feel a little uneasy, in order to keep himself from looking panicked, he can only write a smile on his face.

The Taoist priest who was more than five feet was much more relaxed than him, with a confident and calm face, and he begged that his face had long since disappeared, and he walked leisurely in front, occasionally touching the withered yellow peachwood sword.

The Taoist priest seemed to think of something, turned his head and said, "Shaoxia, I don't seem to know what to call you yet." ”

The two looked at each other, with a blank face, yes, the two of them have not introduced themselves to each other since they talked about cooperation in catching ghosts in the village, and now they have set off for Xifeng Mountain. And Li Chongli called his Taoist priest from the beginning, if this Taoist priest didn't ask, the two of them didn't know each other's names and surnames if they dispersed.

Li Chongli scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "My name is Li Chongli." ”

"Chongli, your father won't be the emperor, right?" said the Taoist priest with a surprised face, he had read the word Chongli in a book in Bagua Mountain, which meant emperor or prince.

Li Chongli was puzzled at first, Chongli gave him the name by his master, and did not tell him what the meaning of these two words was, and then asked: "I have no father and mother since I was a child, why does the Taoist priest say that my father is the emperor, do you know my father?"

"Hahaha. This is not true, but the word "double separation" reminds me of a book, which says that the meaning of the word "double separation" refers to the sun, the emperor or the crown prince, and Li Shaoxia is a human being, so naturally it does not refer to the sun. The Taoist priest explained.

Li Chongli has not read many books since he was a child, basically all of them are martial arts and mental methods, so naturally he didn't understand what the Taoist priest said. The Taoist priest also saw his confusion and added: "Don't talk about this, my name is Qingru Xu, which is the name my master gave me." ”

Li Chongli nodded, didn't answer again, thinking about the meaning of the re-separation that Qing Confucian Xu Fangcai said, the emperor or the prince. And Qingru Xu is also thinking about it, this Li Chongli does have the breath of an emperor, but why does he say that he has no father and no mother.

The two had their own ideas, and soon came to the foot of Zephyr Mountain.

The fog outside the west wind mountain was shrouded, and the yin qi was heavy, and as soon as the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, a fierce breath came, and the breath was mixed with the smell of blood, and the two of them almost turned their backs.

"It's so powerful, it seems that this ghost has sensed our arrival, be careful on the mountain road. The Taoist priest stroked the wind-blown sleeve and said.

Li Chongli nodded when he heard this, and took out his usual long sword from his waist, an ordinary long sword that could be broken at any time.

"Here, take this, if you can't beat it for a while, you can just throw it directly at the ghost, and then run away, understand?" Qingru Xu said slowly, and then handed Li Chongli a talisman with a mysterious rune on it.

"This is what you said in the village to ward off evil spirits? Li Chongli took the spell and said.

"You don't understand this, there is a supreme Dao Dharma contained in it, and people who have not cultivated the Dao Fa will naturally not be able to see it. ”

After listening to Qing Ruxu's words, Li Chongli tried to use what he had learned to explore the mystery of the talisman, but after injecting internal force, he found that the talisman did not have any reaction, and tried other methods repeatedly, but there was still no response, and a thought sounded in his heart, this talisman would not be fake.

"Don't try, that only works for goblins. Seeing that Li Chongli was there to test the authenticity of this talisman, Qing Ruxu waved his hand.

"Huh. . . Is there really such a magical spell?" Li Chongli said with a smile.

"God is not magical, you will understand in a while, let's go, go into the mountains. Qingru Xu waved his left hand forward, looking like he was directing the army forward, and he was arrogant.

As the sky grew dark, the two of them carried torches into the forest, and the mist lingered around, not daring to approach, as if they were afraid of the torches in their hands.

Li Chongli was very strange at first why he went into the mountain after dark, isn't it safer to go into the mountain during the day, and the answer given by Qingru Xu was that ghosts were afraid of light, and they were very disgusted with bright places, and they would only appear in the middle of the night.

The two of them walked cautiously, sometimes shaking the torch to the left, and the other to the right, trying to burn the fog that obscured their vision into ashes, and the fog also tried to devour the two of them, but they were afraid of the fire, and could not get closer.

After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, a strange stone appeared in front of them, the stone was two people high, and there were several carvings that resembled human limbs, as if a statue had been broken and weathered over the years, and had become the tattered appearance it is today.

Qing Ruxu stopped, circled around the tattered statue, and then crouched down again, looking for something.

"What's the matter, what's wrong with this stone?" asked Li Chongli strangely.

Qing Ruxu stood up and thought about it for a while, this statue was too tattered, he didn't see anything wrong, even if there was something wrong, it was okay to be tattered like this now.

"It's a statue, but it looks like I've seen it somewhere. Qingru Xu replied.

"Statue?" Li Chongli said with a puzzled expression, slowly stepped forward, reached out and touched the statue, and felt the depths of the statue, and there was nothing strange about it.

"Maybe I'm overthinking, let's go. Qingru Xu continued to walk forward and looked back at Li Chong next to the statue.

The two continued to walk forward, but just after the two disappeared into the mist, the statue that had just been touched by Li Chongli suddenly trembled, and silver light burst out from it, illuminating a large area, and the mist dispersed where it was illuminated by the silver light.

"Do you feel it. Li Chongli suddenly stopped and asked Qingru a word.

"What do you feel?" Qingru Xu said as he looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he was talking about.

Li Chongli turned his head and looked at the road he came, as if there had been a change, but the fog was too heavy, and he couldn't feel where the change had occurred, only that he had always felt a feeling in his heart.

"It's nothing, it's probably an illusion. Li Chongli turned around, said a word to Qing Ruxu, and continued to walk forward.

Qingru Xu also looked back, and didn't see any changes, maybe there were really changes, they didn't do enough, they couldn't feel it, Qingru Xu shook his head and followed.

In this west wind mountain, where the moonlight is difficult to penetrate, two torches with only a faint light are walking among the mountains, but what they don't know is that the mountains are also moving, and the two torches stopped after making a few circles here.

In front of the two of them, another large stone appeared, almost the same as the previous broken statue, except in one place, the limbs carved in a different direction than the previous one, the previous limbs were carved on the left side of the statue, and the current one was carved on the right.

Qing Ruxu was puzzled: "Why is this happening? This statue has appeared again. ”

"I have to ask you, aren't you a profound Dao Fa, what kind of magic circle you can't see?" Li Chongli asked lazily.

"Circle, circle, come, take the torch first. Qingru Xu said as he handed the torch to Li Chongli, and then took out a compass engraved with the image of gossip from the cyst.

I saw Qingru Xu slowly turning in a circle, and the compass pointer was also turning slightly with his rotation, and Li Chongli looked at it with a blank face on the side.

"Go this way. Qingru Xu stopped turning, put away the compass, and pointed to Li Chongli behind him.

"Isn't this the road we just walked on?" Li Chongli said as he handed him the torch and frowned.

Although he was at a loss, he still followed Qingru Xu on the way back, and the two faintly shiny torches set off again....

The two of them walked for another stick of incense, and the tattered statue appeared in front of them again, this time the statue was exactly the same as the first time they met, and even the carved arm was the same, located on the left.

"Qingdao Chief, we won't be trapped in this West Wind Mountain like this. Li Chongli walked to the statue, looked up at the statue, and then turned his head to look at Qingru Xu Dao.

"No, it should be like this, how can it be wrong?" Qing Ruxu lowered his head, took two steps forward, turned around and took two steps forward, and muttered in his mouth.

Li Chongli sat beside the statue helplessly, looking at Qingru Xu, who was walking around and thinking about what went wrong, he took out the wine gourd in his hand and drank it slowly.

During this period, Qing Ruxu handed the torch to Li Chongli again, holding the compass in his left hand, and gesturing something with his right hand, as if calculating the direction given by the compass.

And Li Chongli took two torches, stood up and stared at this strange statue, why are the limbs carved on the left, and the limbs are still broken, does it mean to go this way?

"Qingdao Chief, do you see if this statue is showing us the way!" Li Chongli shouted at the top of his voice, pointing to the limbs of the strange statue. Woke up Qing Ru Xu, who was still calculating, and Qing Ru Xu raised his head and looked at the place Li Chongli was pointing to.

A word woke up the dreamer, Qingru Xu patted his head in fear, why didn't he think of this strange statue, since the two of them encountered the strange statue, they began to get lost, and they couldn't find the direction of the mountain road.

"Li Shaoxia's discerning eyes!" Qing Ruxu looked at the limbs of the strange statue, laughed and praised Li Chongli.

After Qingru Xu finished speaking, he picked up the torch and took the lead in walking in the direction pointed by the limbs of the statue, and Li Chongli hurriedly followed when he saw this.

The two walked for about a stick of incense time, and a deserted temple appeared in front of them, two stone lions in front of the temple, the stone lion after years of weathering, only the lower body of the stone claws and part of the stone teeth remained, but it still did not lose the sense of majesty, and further on, there was a stone step, the stone steps had nearly ten sections, extending to the temple gate.

"Finally came out. Qingru Xu exhaled and said.

And Li Chongli, who was standing next to him, seemed to sense that something was wrong, and said softly: "There is an evil aura in this abandoned temple, and it is very strong. ”
