Qin Lexin put down his chopsticks, and the worry between his eyebrows became a little solemn.

"At the beginning of this month, at the request of the villagers, the ancestor came forward to catch a resentful ghost. Accidentally contaminated with resentment, the soul is impregnated and eroded by resentment all the time, and after a long time, it will lose its original heart. Therefore, the family is very anxious. ”

Han Shengchao on the side continued: "The damage of the divine soul has always been the most tricky. The resentment condensed by that resentment is extremely vicious, and only the Yin Nourishing Pill refined with Yin Soul Grass as the main medicine is the right thing. ”

The wandering moment became clear, and he couldn't help but wonder: "That resentful ghost is so ferocious?"

"It is said to be the soul of unjust death, with deep resentment, so that the resentment is realized, and the strength is comparable to the cultivation of the foundation period of human beings. ”

You Li wondered: "Senior Han didn't go to help?"

Qin Lexin said: "Master Han is my personal bodyguard, and ghost hunting is not his specialty. What's more, the ancestor of the family is stubborn, and it is his duty to catch ghosts and demons, and he refuses to let his family interfere at all. ”

You Li said curiously: "The old man is a ghost hunter?"

Qin Lexin and Han Shengchao glanced at each other, and after getting an affirmative look, they replied: "The ancestor is a land lord. ”

"Land Lord?"

Seeing the disbelief on his face, Han Shengchao smiled and said, "Dao Xin Daoyou is not deeply involved in the world, so it's not strange that you don't know. Gods related to the blessings of the world, such as the feudal land prince, were extremely secret and important matters in the imperial court, and few outsiders knew about them.

"The ancestor of the Qin family joined the army before his death, loyal and brave, and in the process of expanding to the Western Regions at the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, he made great contributions as a pioneer general, and finally died on the battlefield. After his death, he was enshrined by the imperial court as a party of good fortune, that is, the folk said that the land and the shrine god, and the jurisdiction was several towns in the southeast of today's Shengshan County. ”

Wandering in his mind, he suddenly realized: "It turns out that the imperial court can actually enshrine the gods?"

Han Shengchao said: "The so-called 'some people have soil, and some people have wealth'. The land is closely related to the survival of people, so all dynasties will guide the people of the world to worship the land god on the Spring Festival Day in February every year. However, after all, the land in the world is vast and vast, and it cannot be worshipped, so it is necessary to seal the land as a society and divide it and worship it. The land of the party shall be handed over to the people of the party for worship. The court inherits the mandate of heaven and can enshrine a part of the gods on behalf of the people for all the people to worship, and the land belongs to one of them. ”

Qin Lexin said: "In the final analysis, the people's spontaneous worship and reverence for the land is the foundation. This is also the reason why the ancestors spared no effort to catch ghosts and eliminate demons and protect the land and the people. If no one believes in it, it will not be able to reap merit and trust, and the clay body will decay day by day. If you become a god, you can't do it once and for all. ”

After listening to it, you felt an eye-opener, "In this way, the authority of the imperial court is really not small. ”

Han Shengchao praised: "Daoxin Daoyou is extremely intelligent, and he can see the essence of problems. ”

You Li scratched his head and said modestly: "Senior Han praised it falsely. The younger generation just thinks that in this way, there will inevitably be some flies and dogs. ”

Qin Le nodded again and again, and said thoughtfully: "Dao Heart Dao Elder has said to the point. Although the military merits of the ancestors were high enough, if it weren't for General Kou, the commander of the army in the west of the town, to come forward to protect it, the quota would have almost been replaced. Among them, the intrigue and deceit are not mentioned.

"It is precisely because my ancestor has achieved the divine position that my Qin clan has become a famous family in this land. In life, if you can't cultivate and ascend to immortality, if you seal your wife and protect one party like this, it will be in vain. ”

After a full hour of supper, everyone still seemed unsatisfied, so they continued to enjoy tea and talk.

Han Shengchao took advantage of the ethereal fragrance of tea and asked, "Daoxin Daoist, how long have you been practicing?"

You said: "The younger generation has been cultivating for more than two years. ”

Qin Lexin couldn't help but say: "You have entered the realm of enlightenment in two years, you are three years younger than me, right? ”

You Mingda on the side listened to it in his ears and was happy in his heart.

The free mind was very peaceful, and he said calmly: "Qin Jushi smiled. ”

At this time, Han Shengchao was encouraged by Qin Lexin's eyes, cleared his throat, and asked, "I don't know where the master of the heart Daoist friend is?"

You said: "The family teacher is a hermitage, the four seas are home, two years ago Yun traveled here, and then built a meditation on the Yuyu Mountain, because of the lack of a sprinkle cleaning and miscellaneous trial Taoist child, he accepted me." ”

After hearing this, Han Shengchao pondered for a moment, hugged his fists and said, "Can Daoist friends take a step to speak?"

You Li left the table with Han Shengchao and came to the secret room next door.

"What's the matter with Senior Han?"

"That's right, Young Master Lexin's great-grandfather, Yongyi Gong, once had a plan to wipe out the demons in his jurisdiction, and that place is called Fog Demon Ridge ......"

Han Shengchao explained like this, and said with great anticipation: "Originally, I thought that I would start it at the beginning of spring next year, but with the injury of Yong Yigong, it will have to be postponed to the year after next at the earliest." I would now like to invite you to participate. With the growth rate of Daoyou, I'm afraid that after a year, it will be okay for me to catch up with and surpass my cultivation-of course, it would be even better if the Venerable Master could also join in......"

You Li groaned for a while, and replied: "I, as an apprentice, naturally can't be the master's master." I'll have to go back and ask Master about this first, and I'll give you an answer at that time. ”

Han Shengchao was not surprised by such an answer, but said sincerely: "The Fog Demon Ridge lies on the great plain less than a hundred miles south of the Holy Mountain City, and there are a lot of demon beasts and poisons, and they often come out of the mountains to cause trouble in the township, which has a great impact on the surrounding villages and towns. The imperial court ordered Yong Yigong to take the lead and complete the purge within five years. ”

Wandering nodded, but did not answer.

So, the two reflexively returned to the table. Seeing that the time was not early, everyone went back to their rooms to rest under Yang Bocai's arrangement.

Early the next morning, he resigned from everyone's retention and embarked on the return journey with his father.

Looking at the two of them who were leaving briskly, Qin Lexin asked softly, "Master Han, are you sure he will come?"

Han Shengchao looked at the thin and fallen figure, which gradually disappeared at the end of the street, and said calmly: "Wait and see." This son seems to be peaceful and humble, but his fighting style is crisp and neat, brave and fierce. With such an excellent sense of battle at a young age, whether it was cultivated by his own will or not, it was difficult to resist the desire to fight and fight during the period of rapid cultivation. ”

After all, the first level of heart refining is not only the first realm of the Qi refining period, but also the first realm of all cultivators cultivating immortals and entering the Dao, how can it be so good? Han Shengchao was very confident in his judgment, and he was also quite looking forward to this young man with great potential.

The father and son did not go home directly, but stayed at the blacksmith shop for a while. You Mingda took the package handed by Shi Songhan - it was the bag of silver that was left in the guest room - and took out a letter of thirty taels of silver from it, and insisted on rewarding this friend.

The self-brought blanket was too small, and he and his father each carried a heavy package, which can be said to be full of loads.

Out of town, my father wanted to go back along the road he was accustomed to—the main road, but in fact it was only a trail at the foot of the mountain that he had carved out for only two people to walk side by side.

Youli grabbed his father and took him into the deep mountains and old forests.

Although You Mingda was puzzled, after this incident, he knew that his son had grown up and had his own plans, so he tacitly did not ask why.

Holding a small firewood knife in his hand, he opened the road in front of him, and the speed under his feet was not slow. Although You Mingda is old, after all, he is a hunter who is used to crossing mountains and mountains, and he can keep up with his son's pace.

It's just that his son hasn't spoken, and he seems to be quite alert, so he can't help but guess wildly, did Han Xianshi say something bad to his son last night?

You are walking in front, but your mind is completely on something else.

——That night, he was secretly put with a cold arrow in his backyard, and he originally thought it was the handiwork of the master and servant of the Qin family. But after dealing with them last night, I directly denied this idea.

When I think of this, I can't help but feel a chill down my spine. Afraid that there was something else hidden in this matter, he did not hesitate to plan for the worst, so he insisted on taking a more hidden mountain road. If you are really targeted by an unknown enemy, there is still a chance to escape.

Despite this, Youli still didn't want his father to worry, and was ready to press this matter to the bottom of his heart first.

"Who could it be?" You was at a loss, so I could only find a chance to ask Master. ”

Thinking like this, You Mingda suddenly shouted: "Be careful!"

After listening to it, a subconscious right dodge was able to dodge the sneak attack from the tree overhead.

His father protected him behind him, took the knife from his hand, lowered his body, and stared ahead with all his body guarded.

After relieving himself, he realized that he was just thinking about things, and he was a little distracted, and he didn't realize that they were surrounded by a group of snow-spotted leopards.
