Chapter 4: Ghost Hunting (I)

It's been two days since the incident of the flower on the other side, and it has finally completely broken some people's thoughts under He Wenming's bad ideas. He has newly acquired a spell, and he has been practicing with his book in his hand for the past two days.

This book is about the method of using true qi to condense into soul fire to attack the enemy, and it also includes a superficial introduction to some ghosts. It's just that since the True Qi he is cultivating now is not suitable for ghost path spells, the power of this kung fu may be somewhat reduced in his hands.

There is also a small note in this book that surprised He Wenming, which reads: Enter my door, reward the good and punish the evil, punish the evil ghosts, and achieve great achievements.

He Wenming understood this sentence as, do more good deeds, don't do bad things, and catch more ghosts, so that cultivation will be faster.

It's just that it's a little difficult: ghosts are easy to catch, but hard to find.

30,000 years ago, the underworld collapsed, resulting in an imbalance of yin and yang in the human world, many ghosts had nowhere to place, and some died directly under the yang energy; some cultivated as weakness possessed by people with evil thoughts, and slowly accumulated resentment for the sake of calamity in the world; a little stronger they hid in the deep mountains and rivers, occupying the mountains as kings; and some cultivated as extremely powerful ghost kings and ghost emperors incarnated in human form and walked in the world.

Why do you say that ghosts are easy to catch, in fact, as long as you can recognize ghosts, even if they are not as easy to use as the Taoist priests of Maoshan and Longhu Mountain, ordinary monks still have the strength to fight.

It's not the big ghosts who have cultivated to the heavens that are really difficult to catch, but the resentful ghosts who hide in the streets and villages. If these ghosts are not professionally removed, some of them possessed by ghosts will not be able to see when they walk by you.

Not everyone who is possessed is as obvious as the movie - the kind that can tell that there is something wrong as long as you are not blind.

Therefore, there are many people in the world today who are in the name of eliminating ghosts, but in addition to a few well-known casual cultivators, Longhu Mountain and Maoshan are the most reliable.

Since He Wenming decided to catch ghosts, he must first find out the ghosts. Although he doesn't have the yin and yang eyes of Taoist priests, as long as there are ghosts, they will inevitably harm people, so it is not enough to carefully analyze and analyze which people died.

After making up his mind, He Tianming took out a sword from the wall with a gorgeous scabbard that was actually only worth fifty taels of silver, as well as the private money he had saved, and rode away in the direction of Yanyun City.

Yanyun City, one of the thirteen states in the world, is the second largest city in Qizhou.

As early as sixty years ago, Yanyun City was just a small city, and suddenly one day there was an ancestor of the He family in the subordinate Lotus Town, which made merchants from all walks of life travel far away to trade with the He family like the rising sun.

In just two years, Yanyun City has become the second largest city in Qizhou.

For more than 60 years, several prefects of Yanyun City have not said that they are grateful to the He family, which is also respectful. There is no other reason, as long as you don't embarrass the He family, your achievements will always rise quickly.

He Wenming rode all the way to Yanyun City and found that it was different from the past. Today, there were additional soldiers at the gates, and everyone with swords in their hands looked as if they were about to go to war. Anyone has to show proof of identity, and the checks are very strict.

After the inspection, I came to the yamen, but there was no one at the gate.

This is not in line with common sense, could it be that the officials have been transferred to the city gate to serve as officers and soldiers?

When I walked into the lobby of the yamen, I saw two young officials sitting and chatting boredly.

"You know what, there's been a lot of weird things lately. ”

"No, what family is sitting here in the Yanyun Tianli Sect and dares to make trouble under their noses, this is big enough. ”

"It's not this, you know, there have always been inexplicable homicides near Yanyun City recently, and there are all kinds of strange ways to die. I heard that the technique was done by a master of cultivation. ”

"I've heard about this too, it's not strange that it's artificial, is there anything else?"

"And the other one...... Who?"

When the two saw someone coming in, the person who had just spoken did not turn his head and said in an arrogant tone: "Recently, the yamen has been busy, ignoring civil affairs, and something will happen in a few days." ”

He Wenming disagreed, and said: "I'm not here to report the case, I just want to ask something." ”

As soon as the yacha heard the fire, he became even more angry: "Why are you here if you don't report the case?

He Wenming frowned slightly: "My surname is He." ”

The yacha was stunned at that time and didn't know how to answer this, but fortunately, the companion who had been watching the play next to him was shrewd, and seeing that He Wenming was indeed dressed like a young master from a rich family, he immediately put on a smiling face and asked: "It turned out to be the young master of the He family, disrespectful and disrespectful." Recently, the yamen has been a little busy, and my friend is a little reckless, so please bear with me. ”

I thought that it would be easier to report the family affairs, but it means that the two of them regard themselves as collateral children and still don't want to do things.

You must know that the direct children of the He family are all guests when they arrive at Taishou.

"My name is He Wenming, and this is my nameplate. After speaking, he took out his name tag from his arms and threw it over.

I don't know if I don't see it, and the two of them are dumbfounded when they see it.

The brand has a jade bottom and gold edges, and the back is engraved with a lotus flower symbolizing the He family, and the name on the front is the three words "He Wenming" inlaid with red agate. This is a treatment that only direct children have, at least in this smoke and clouds, no one dares to cheat.

The sixth young master of the He family!

Those who do what they do must be ready to deal with big names at any time, how can they not know the names of the young masters and ladies of the He family?

Frightened, the man hurriedly handed back the name tag, bowed and said flatteringly: "It turned out to be He Liushao, you see that we are not sensible, you don't remember the villain, don't worry about us." ”

The one who rolled up his sleeves before had already put his sleeves down, and the brutality was gone, and he echoed it beside him. I didn't know where to put my hands, and I kept rubbing them nervously in front of me.

He Wenming waved his hand and said, "I just want to check the case in the past month, I don't know if it's okay." ”

The one who rolled up his sleeves wanted to make up for it, and said, "No problem, don't say that the master is not there, even if he is not there, he is not as big as you." I'll get it for you, you can wait a minute. After saying that, he ran to the back hall.

He Wenming remembered the situation when he entered the city, and asked the other person: "What happened to Yanyun recently, and why is the city gate much more heavily guarded than before?"

"This is all caused by the Tenrikyo Sect. Recently, local reports have discovered several large-scale gatherings, and I heard that there are several famous masters of the Tenri Sect. The guard of the city gate is to prevent anyone from entering the city, and the entire Yamen officials except for us have been sent to the countryside to cooperate with the army to search for the Tianli cultists. ”

"Where's your county master?"

"The lord and the county lords from all over the country have gone to the prefect for a meeting, and that's it. ”

Tianli Sect, one of the three sects of the Demon Gate. If the Lingxiao Hall is the greatest inheritor of the Heavenly Court, the Three Sects of the Demon Gate are the greatest inheritors of the Demon Realm.

Since the Demon Gate was divided into three 10,000 years ago, the ambition to compete for the world has not stopped, although it has been stopped by the righteous path forces, but every time it is a spring breeze blowing and rebirth. They have been present in many uprisings over the years.

The more chaotic the world, the more nourishing the demon gate can live.

Among the three sects, the Tenri Sect is responsible for demagoguery, and it is the most troublesome one. You don't know when it's going to start a rebellion, and the dynasties are so burned by it. Once a Tenri cultist is discovered, it is like a mosquito in a mosquito net, and the mosquito must be killed even if he does not sleep.

So the entire Smoke Cloud City now has a bit of a smell of grass and trees.

At this time, the yacha who took the document also came back, and seeing that the thickness of the document was not too much, the yacha said flatteringly: "Sixth young master, the cases in this month are all here, you have seen it." ”

He Wenming sat on the master's chair and hung the saber next to the chair, flipped through it quickly, and finished reading it in a short time. On the surface, he was unsurprised, but in fact he was disappointed.

Most of these cases have nothing strange about them, except that they were killed by whom with a knife, and as a result, the murderer was sentenced to death after being caught; some of them have not yet been caught, but looking at the murderer's information, they have killed people by mistake, and there is no feeling that evil ghosts have killed people.

He Wenming didn't give up and asked the two of them: "Have you received any cases with strange deaths recently?"

"Yes!"

He Wenming was overjoyed.

"Tell me!"

"Recently, I heard that there are always inexplicable homicides near Yanyun City, and the way the dead die is quite strange, some seem to have lost their souls, some seem to have been bitten by animals, and some have turned into dried corpses. I heard that it was done by a monk from the left side of the door. ”

When He Wenming heard it, if he was really lucky to meet a ghost cultivator, he could barely do it.

"Do you know what kind of cultivation it is?"

"If you have the courage to commit murder near the smoke clouds, I heard the old man in the yamen say that at least it is also in the Yuan Qi realm. ”

He Wenming summed up in his heart: Then forget it. Although the three realms of cultivation, body refining, vitality, and divine soul often have successful cross-border challenges, but it is also the fivefold refining body that is one or two of the upper vitality, and a rookie like him who has not even gone out of the novice village in the fourth level of the body refining realm should stay honestly.

There is nothing to gain in key places, and He Wenming is ready to try his luck in restaurants and teahouses.

"I'll go first, you guys put the papers back, excuse me. ”

"Don't bother, don't bother. Walk slowly. The two of them hunched their waists and kept sending He Wenming out of the yamen before they stopped.

He Wenming didn't go far with the horse when he went out and suddenly remembered that the sword fell on the old man's chair in the yamen, so he walked towards the yamen again.

When I walked to the door of the yamen, I heard the two of them still talking about what had just happened.

"Didn't you have a strange thing just now, why didn't you tell He Liushao. ”

"He Liushao is looking for strangeness, how can I have the strange killing method of that side monk. It's just that there have been people selling their sons and daughters recently, and there are almost a dozen of them. ”

He Wenming came in from the door and said, "You tell me about this." ”

"Hey, Sixth Young Master, you already know that you are interested in this, I told you just now. Don't worry, listen to me slowly. ”

After a while, He Wenming came out of the yamen satisfied. At least this time the news still sounded a bit ghostly, and he led the horse towards his destination.

Walking and walking, He Wenming always felt as if he had forgotten something.

So he walked slower and slower, slower and slower, and finally simply stood there and thought. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to him, and He Wenming rememberedβ€”β€” his sword didn't seem to have been taken away......

So he turned back to the yamen.
