Late at night, the moon hangs high, the stars are dotted, the cool night wind blows through the trees to make a rustling sound, and the surrounding air is also with a trace of cold and humidity.

After entering the mountain for a few years, Hongming, who went down the mountain for the first time, frowned, and he didn't feel anything strange during the day, but after nightfall, the rich yin qi made him a little unbearable.

'With such a heavy yin qi, even if there is no secret plot of demons and monsters, it may form an obstacle such as ghosts hitting the wall. Moreover, if a person stays in this environment for a long time, the yang energy in the body will inevitably be weakened. If you don't die, you have to lose half your life, no wonder the master said that the catastrophe in the world will start. ’

Hongming thought about it, and suddenly there was a burst of "jingle bell" bells in his ears, this sound was far and near, and with the night breeze, there was also a trace of the sound of the soul lock from the underworld.

Hongming silently used Xuangong, listened carefully, and heard that there was a thought hidden in the sound of the bell.

"The yin people go on the road, and the living retreat. ”

Looking in the direction where the voice came from, Hongming saw a corpse qi surrounding the sky, and there was a strong ghost aura hidden in it. This evil qi approached Hongming with an extremely rapid reading, and just as he was about to take precautions, another ghost aura surrounded Hongming.

'Not good!' Seeing the scene in front of him, Hongming knew that something was wrong, but before he could react, a series of green and sparkling blue fires appeared, ghostly fires, floating around a few times, suddenly gathered together, and turned into a woman in a blue costume appeared not far in front of Hongming.

"Lang is in the happy place, and when the concubine is broken, the grievances are known for a month......"

The woman in the costume floated towards Hongming, and the euphemistic singing voice echoed everywhere, overlapping and overlapping, like an infinite echo, disturbing his hearing and interfering with his senses.

Hongming's heart was shaken, and he couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart, and he always felt that in addition to this female ghost, there were countless pairs of eyes watching him. In the woods, among the grass and trees, there seemed to be shadows, what ghosts and ghosts were whispering? He pursed his lips and let out bursts of joyful laughter.

"Heaven and Earth Xuanzong? Wan Qi is ...... at all"

The golden light spell blurted out, and wisps of faint golden light appeared around Hongming? A hot breath around his body? It turns into an invisible force field to block the evil things from approaching.

It's just that? Hongming's golden light mantra is completely self-cultivation, in the case of fear in his heart? Drive the Golden Light Talisman? Inevitably fell behind. It's okay to deal with ordinary ghosts, this female ghost is obviously proficient in illusion, and is very good at finding gaps in people's hearts and avoiding the golden light force field? Water sleeves up? Pinch your throat and speak.

Compared to just now, the new tune has a slight change, and it is more dreamy, just listening to two ears, Hongming will be pulled into the illusion. At this time? A gong sounded, and then a fifty-year-old? In the dry draft, in the empty eye sockets? The old man, who could not see a single remnant of his eyes, walked out not far away.

What is remarkable is that this person is holding a small yin gong? Wearing a green cloth robe? Wearing a green cloth hat? He stepped on a pair of straw sandals, tied a black scarf around his waist, hung a copper bell, and struck a gong with every step.

This is the unique costume of the corpse chaser, and with his appearance, eleven people wearing black shrouds and hats of zongye and hats on their heads slowly followed. Different from the corpses chased by ordinary corpse chasers, a black charm was pasted in front of these people's hats, which was densely painted with all kinds of strange blood-colored lines, exuding a strange aura.

"What do you mean, the corpse chaser?"

The female ghost in the costume looked at the corpse chaser with a hint of anger, and Hongming on the other side was startled by the sound of the gong, and finally reacted. He who has been studying by Yuchen's side for several years, he also guessed that he was being plotted, silently recited the golden light mantra, protected himself, shook his sleeves, and started with an oil-paper umbrella.

Gently stretched it open, held the handle of the umbrella and stood up, and the surface of the umbrella full of runes suddenly flowed one by one, leaving along the edge of the umbrella. Hongming suddenly felt a burst of clarity, and the yin qi of the outside world no longer affected his consciousness.

Then the long sleeves were flicked again, and one hundred and eight ancient copper coins flew out of his sleeves, turning into golden light and shooting towards the female ghost.

As soon as the water sleeves were raised, the sound of water sounded, and the mist rose, trying to intercept the copper coin.

But the surface of the copper coin flashed with some kind of thick red dust aura, and a little golden light flowed, piercing the yin qi and evil qi, and hitting the female ghost fiercely.

Surprisingly, the female ghost did not react, as if it was not her who had been hit by the magic weapon.

Hongming's face changed slightly, and with a gesture of his hand, the copper coin flew back to him, surrounded him, trembling slightly, and the faint aura was mixed with the mist falling from the oil-paper umbrella, turning into a light curtain to protect the Quartet. Then, Hongming turned over his hand and took out a gossip mirror, and was about to take a picture around, when the voice of the female ghost came from all directions: "Today is your luck, and let you live." ”

After saying that, the female ghost who was hit by the copper coin just now turned into a wisp of mist and dispersed, obviously just an illusion.

Hongming knew that the other party had left, and he didn't think about chasing, raised his hand and flicked his hand, a slender red line flew out, stringing together copper coins to form a copper coin sword that he held in his hand, and then walked to the corpse chaser, bowed down and thanked: "Thank you seniors for helping!"

"The yin people go on the road, and the living retreat. The corpse chaser didn't seem to be rational and didn't pay attention to Hongming, and after he opened his mouth, he struck the small yin gong in his hand again, and slowly prepared to leave.

However, not long after passing by Hongming's side, the corpse chaser began to return the same way.

Hongming frowned, thoughtful in his heart, silently recited the mantra in his mouth, summoned his eyes to come, and on his eyes, the gold and silver light slid through his pupils.

Looking at it again, Hongming saw that the state of this corpse chaser was very strange, obviously surrounded by dead air, but there was a glimmer of life. At the same time, there is an aura in the body of this corpse chaser, which is in harmony with this land.

After thinking about it, Hongming took out a picture scroll, bowed to it, and recited the mantra of God.

The scroll took off and unfolded on its own, with a portrait of Yuchen drawn on it, Hongming kowtowed again, and waves appeared on the painting paper, and an illusory Yuchen walked out of it, looked at Hongming and smiled: "How do you feel when you encounter a ghost for the first time?"

"The disciple is worthy of the master's love. Hongming said, bowing his head in shame.

It's no wonder that Hongming's performance tonight is not very good, since he found out that the yin qi here is turbid, he should know to be on guard.

When you hear a strange sound in the middle of the night, it is a big mistake to avoid it, but to listen carefully.

The successive carelessness made Hongming have no time to take out a few talismans given by Yuchen when facing the female ghost, and he was caught in a bitter battle. It can be said that if it weren't for the sudden intervention of the corpse chaser later, Hongming's fight with the female ghost would have to shed his skin if he didn't die.

However, Yu Chen also told them about these contents when he taught them Taoism. Hongming didn't find out in time, and now in the face of Yuchen's questioning, he was naturally very ashamed.

"I'm relieved that you can perceive your own problems. Yu Chen looked at Hongming, for this disciple who will inherit the Taoist system of Chongzhen Guan in the future, his teaching method has always been based on teaching the Taoist system of Chongzhen Guan as the core. Whether it is the practice of exercises, or supporting spells, or the concept of cultivation, it is mainly based on the original inheritance of Chongzhenguan.

Therefore, after Hongming went down the mountain this time, Yuchen also paid attention to his experience.

Tonight, Yu Chen cared more about what he could learn from it than about his mistakes.

I have to say that Hongming's performance, whether it is after discovering that something is wrong, he immediately uses the golden light spell to protect himself, and then takes out the oil-paper umbrella magic weapon to isolate the evil power of yin qi, the female ghost does not impulsively pursue when she leaves, and expresses gratitude to the corpse chaser, it is quite remarkable.

As for the change in mentality, whether there is a fear or not, or some other thoughts, Yu Chen already knew it the moment he came. Therefore, for Hongming's performance, Yuchen can't be said to be satisfied, but he can't be said to be too disappointed, it can be regarded as a qualified level.

However, in the face of Yu Chen's answer, Hongming was even more guilty, he was a little frustrated, but he didn't forget the reason why he summoned Yu Chen, and after sorting out his emotions, he arched his hand to Yu Chen: "Dare to ask Master, what's wrong with that senior?"

"The corpse chaser!" Yu Chen glanced at the departing corpse chaser, he suddenly turned around and walked in the direction of Yu Chen, and slowly stopped in front of Hongming and Yu Chen.

"This guy is also a poor man, he drove the corpse well, but he encountered an explosion of yin qi in the underworld, and he was directly dissipated by yin qi in the mountains. But he didn't know it, he thought he was still alive, holding the yin gong and ringing the bell, walking back and forth in the mountains, trying to bring back the dead bodies. ”

"And I don't know if this guy's luck is good or bad. His zodiac is a rat, and the zodiac of the eleven corpses is exactly in the same round. When he died, the twelve corpses still touched each other, forming a sub-rat stealing bureau, so that the death qi and corpse qi on the other eleven people all converged on him, and gradually became the climate. ”

Yu Chen walked in front of the corpse chaser, stretched out his hand and touched his eyebrows, wisps of black gas gushed out, Yu Chen looked back at Hongming, and said: "You see, this guy is now a corpse, and he is in good spirits, and he can easily leave this land, which is why he has been wandering around here." ”

Hearing this, Hongming gritted his teeth and arched his hand: "Master, when you preached in the past, you once said that the obsession of the Yin Soul can turn it into an earth-bound spirit. This senior's state seems to be somewhat similar, so he will be like those earthbound spirits, because his obsession cannot be completed for a long time, and he will fall into the devil's path. ”

"Yes!" Yu Chen nodded, and said calmly: "His obsession is very simple, that is, to return to his hometown with these corpses, if you want to help him, one is to replace him and send the corpses back." The other is to subdue the female ghost just now. ”

"This senior's affairs have something to do with that female ghost?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just about the same time. As for why you submit, it can be regarded as a test for you, you submit the female ghost, and I will help you send these corpses back. How?"

Hongming naturally did not refuse, after he agreed, Yuchen dispersed his form, and the scroll returned to Hongming's hands. Putting the scroll away, Hongming bowed down to thank the corpse chaser again, and then walked towards the nearest nearby town, wanting to find out the origin of the female ghost.

Hongming, who has magic and practices martial arts, is still very fast, but he came to a town in half an hour.

At the front of the town, there is a tall and old stone archway, and the two pillars are carved with various wonderful patterns.

And below the archway, one left and one right, there are two large fires burning respectively, and there are people guarding the fire, and from time to time one or two firewood are thrown into it to keep the flame vigorous.

Hongming stepped forward, and the two people guarding the fire turned their heads at the same time and looked over, and one of them stood up and walked towards Hongming.

As the man walked, there was a subtle sound of metal colliding, apparently carrying something.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! The Poor Dao Lingbao Sect Chongzhen Hongming Daoist dares to ask if this place is Renjia Town. ”

Seeing Hongming wearing a Taoist robe and performing Taoist etiquette, the man who stepped forward to check was also stunned, and then hurriedly replied: "I've seen the Taoist chief, I am Wang Qiang, a disciple of the Mai Sect in Xiamaoshan." ”

"Oh! It turned out to be a fellow Daoist of Xia Mao Mountain, but you have arranged the formation of this place? Fix the earth qi with spirit runes, use the earth qi to protect the ten directions, and after nightfall, block nine entrances and exits, but leave only this place, forcing ordinary evil creatures to enter the town, they must pass through here, but it is also quite mysterious. Hearing this, Hongming smiled, and opened his mouth to communicate with Wang Qiang.

In fact, in Hongming's view, this formation has a lot of mistakes and omissions, but when everyone meets for the first time, it is naturally a sedan chair person carrying people.

"The Taoist is too famous, how can I have this ability!" Wang Qiang was embarrassed, touched his head and said: "This formation was arranged by my teacher, he used seventy-two spirit runes to fix the dragon vein of Renjia Town, and then arranged this formation based on the dragon vein." According to the teacher, this archway is the seat of the dragon's head, and I will wait to light the fire, which is equivalent to putting the finishing touch, so that the whole formation is the heaviest place of righteousness, and the yang energy is stronger. In this way, even if a powerful ghost who has been practicing for a hundred years comes here, he will be suppressed, and his cultivation will not be one out of ten. ”

"Senior brother, what are you talking about? Don't come back soon. Another man guarding the fire shouted, but there was no movement.

When Wang Qiang heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come back." ”

After speaking, Wang Qiang said to Hongming: "That's my junior brother Ren Hao, and the two of us were ordered to guard these two fires to prevent ghosts from entering the town." Come in with me. ”

Hongming nodded when he heard this, followed Wang Qiang into it, and after watching Hongming walk through a while, Wang Qiang and Ren Hao inside were relieved. Hongming smiled, he had already seen that there was another small situation here, which could detect the identities of outsiders, but it was just difficult to point out.
