At this time, the entrance of the village was crowded, side by side in a circle, only to see a Taoist priest in a yellow robe standing in the middle, holding a two-foot long peachwood sword in his right hand, and fiddling with a few charms in his left hand, his eyes were solemn.

In front of the Taoist priest, there is a rectangular table, on the table are placed with utensils for exorcism, incense candles, the Taoist priest fiddled with the charm of his left hand a few times, recited words in his mouth, put it on the rectangular table, and took a deep breath.

An old man walked out of the crowd, and the old man walked to the long table of the Taoist priest with staggering steps, touched his beard, looked at the charm on the Taoist priest's table with cloudy eyes, and looked up at the Taoist priest again.

"The village chief can rest assured, I have been practicing in Bagua Mountain for many years, and a little powerful ghost can't stop me. The Taoist priest saw the worried look on the village chief's face, and said solemnly, before he came, he heard what the village chief said, this powerful ghost has been a disaster for many years, and every year he has invited the Taoist chief to come here to exorcise evil spirits, but every year there will be people who disappear.

Although before coming, the Taoist priest was fully prepared, but before entering the village, the Taoist eye saw that the entire village was surrounded by a thick, chilling yin qi, even worse at night, although after years of suppression by Taoist priests large and small, the yin qi has decayed, but it still makes the Taoist priest secretly frightened.

The village chief coughed twice and nodded with satisfaction, but there was a disappointment in his eyes. After so many years, he has seen this kind of scene for many years, and he has been disappointed for many years.

"What is the difference between this Taoist priest and the previous Taoist priest, he is not a pair of eyes, two hands and two feet. ”

"I heard that this Taoist priest came down from Bagua Mountain, and you don't know where Bagua Mountain is. ”

"The one who came down from Bagua Mountain must be very powerful, and this time he will definitely be able to catch that powerful ghost. ”

"Cut, I say that every year. ”

.....

The villagers were talking about the Taoist priest, pointing and discussing the Taoist priest, and at this time, the village chief exchanged a few words with the Taoist priest, nodded with satisfaction and returned to the front of the crowd, seeing that the village chief was satisfied, and the villagers were more confident.

Hey~ In the field, the Taoist priest raised his peachwood sword, dancing the sword dance that the villagers couldn't understand, while chanting words in his mouth.

"People come to separate heavy paper.. Go. I saw the Taoist Taoist peachwood sword pointing, and a spell on the table flew not far from the entrance of the village, the golden light flashed, and the spell disappeared into the air, but there seemed to be a thin barrier in the air.

"The ghost comes across the mountain... Go. The peachwood sword pointed again, and a middle flew to the west where the peachwood sword pointed, and the golden light appeared again, and the spell disappeared into the air again...

"A thousand evils can't make it... Go. ”

"All evils can't be opened... Go. After pointing in four directions, the Taoist priest slowly withdrew the peachwood sword and exhaled his true breath.

At this time, the villagers saw that their eyes were full of brilliance, some people were amazed that this Taoist priest was very good at cultivation, some people lowered their heads and recited the incantation recited by the Taoist priest, and some people looked like they didn't believe it, thinking that the Taoist priest was the same as before.

And the village chief had already hurriedly stepped forward, and his trembling hand stretched out to hold the Taoist priest's hand, with an excited expression, it could be seen that the magic of the Taoist priest had suppressed the village chief, and the disappointment in the village chief's eyes had already been replaced by surprise.

"Thank you, thank you, the Taoist is really supernatural, it's me who is clumsy, clumsy, don't blame the Taoist. The village chief excitedly tugged the left hand of the Taoist priest, burst into tears, and looked at the Taoist priest with bright eyes.

The Taoist priest twitched his hand with some disgust, and found that although the village chief was quite old, his strength was not small, and his left hand was pulled very tightly by the village chief.

"It's okay, it's okay, the village chief is a mortal, so naturally he can't penetrate my cultivation at a glance. ”

At the back of the crowd, Li Chongli was leaning on a stone pillar of a house at this time, looking at the old village chief and the Taoist priest chatting in the field, with a slight puzzle in his heart, can these invisible spell walls really block the powerful ghosts that Fang Cai Xiaoer said.

Before the villagers went to the village entrance to gather, Li Chongli and Xiao Er also learned about some of the ghosts, the ghosts appeared on the west wind mountain near the village five years ago, every year in July when the yin air was the heaviest, the west wind mountain would send out a ghost howl, and the villagers of the town did not dare to go out in the middle of July.

And five years ago, there were already Taoist priests from all walks of life who wanted to catch this powerful ghost and correct the road. However, the avenue was not corrected, but the Taoist priests gave their lives one by one, and in the end, only a crazy Taoist priest ran out, dressed in rags and full of nonsense.

In the following years, every year there will be villagers missing, and there are many missing, and the villagers feel that this is the work of the powerful ghosts in the west wind mountain, and the village chief has no choice but to invite Taoist priests who have done the Tao everywhere to enter the village and set up altars.

Three years have passed, and there are a lot of Taoist priests who practice the law, but the number of missing people in the village has not decreased, so that now everyone in the villagers is in danger, and every time the Taoist priest does the law, he has to collect money, and every time the village raises funds to the village chief, and then the village chief uses the money raised to invite the Taoist priest to come.

But there will still be some kind-hearted people who just want to prove the Taoist of the Great Dao with the sword in their hands. However, this kind of Taoist chief is a minority, and most of them still need to charge a fee, and they have to give more or less points.

The Taoist priest and the old village chief in the field have also finished chatting, and the villagers are scattered, discussing the wonderful spells of the Taoist priest as they walk...

Li Chongli got up and prepared to continue on the road, going to the Hidden Dragon Abyss to find the Yinlian at the bottom of the abyss.

"Hey, little brother, can you excuse me? The Taoist priest who was practicing the Dharma before appeared behind Li Chongli at some point, and called out lightly, little brother.

Compared with the Taoist priest, Li Chongli's appearance is indeed too young, with a handsome face, clear water chestnuts, and sword eyebrows and starry eyes. Li Chongli turned around slowly, looked at the Taoist priest with his sword in both hands and said, "Is there something wrong?"

"Haha. There is indeed one thing, I see that the little brother is extraordinary, I don't know which sect it is?" the Taoist priest first smiled, looked Li Chongli up and down, and thought a little.

"There is no sect, you want me to help you catch ghosts, do you? I don't know these ways. In Li Chongli's words, he made clear what the Taoist priest was thinking, and said that he would not catch ghosts.

The Taoist priest stepped forward unhurriedly, and when he got closer, the Taoist priest closed his eyes and felt that Li Chongli had an incredible imperial breath on his body, even if his cultivation was not high, the breath alone could scare the ghost by three points.

The Taoist priest pointed out three fingers with his right hand and said: "Little brother has good eyesight, I can see what I think at a glance, I want to cultivate it is not shallow, I think we can talk about this matter in detail, there will be no lack of benefits for the little brother, you see how this number is." ”

"I said I won't catch ghosts, you can find someone else, I still have something to do. Li Chongli finished speaking and wanted to leave.

"Little brother, don't be in such a hurry, I still have something to tell. The Taoist priest waved his hand and motioned for Li Chongli to come closer, and this matter could not be heard by outsiders.

Although Li Chongli had some doubts in his eyes, he still leaned his face over, and the Taoist priest leaned into Li Chongli's ear, whispered a few words, and looked at him with a hint of pleading in his eyes after speaking.

"Since you know about this, why don't you persuade these villagers to leave. After listening to the Taoist priest's words, Li Chongli frowned and asked.

The Taoist priest shook his head helplessly and said, "The people of this village, born here and died here, they will not leave." ”

After listening to this, Li Chongli seemed to understand what the Taoist priest said, the human world is huge, and there are many more villages of this kind than anyone imagined, their ancestors built homes here, and where can they go when they leave their homes. Besides, in this world, what is more terrible than ghosts is the human heart.

Li Chongli looked at the helpless Taoist priest, nodded heavily, and agreed to the Taoist priest's request, but still said: "If the ghost is too powerful, do you have a way to escape? I don't want to die young." ”

"That's natural, I asked the head for a few evil talismans before going down the mountain, and I have to hide when I see a ghost, if I can't beat it, we can use these few evil charms to get away. The Taoist priest said as he gestured with his hands.

Li Chongli nodded when he heard this, then took out a small ball from his waist and threw it to the Taoist priest: "You take this ball, if we get lost, you can shake this small ball, and I will find you." ”

The Taoist priest took the ball and looked at it, a very delicate ball, the ball has small lines, and there will be a shallow and pleasant sound when you shake it, and the Taoist priest said thank you and put the ball in his pocket.
