In Li Congyan's opinion.

The little Taoist priest of immortality is enthusiastic and full of a sense of justice. But after all, he is young and too simple, and he handed over the key to the Taoist temple just by the words of others, and he is not afraid that people's hearts will be separated from his belly?

Fortunately, he Li has no evil thoughts. Just help dry the books, and find a few books of interest to read by the way.

For several days, Li Congyan went back and forth between the Taoist temple and the Zhao Mansion, skimming off the obscure and incomprehensible Taoist scriptures, and reading all the other classics such as Zhiwei, travelogues, and naturalist classics.

If the book is to be believed, then he has some understanding of what happened to him.

There are ghosts in the world, and there are thousands of kinds of ghosts.

There is a type of ghost named "Charm", which likes to eat people's hearts. According to the book, the succubus has a single ability, and there is no other means of harming people except for changing the appearance of a beautiful woman to seduce people, and those who are determined can not be afraid.

It's just that, like him, the encounter of being locked away from afar has never been heard of.

Li Congyan thought about it for a while and felt that the problem might be in that painting. Most of the scrolls are strange objects such as "magic weapons" recorded in the book, and the succubus parasitizes them, and they can use the treasure to exert incredible power.

But he studied the scroll repeatedly, but he couldn't see the reason, only that the big locust tree on the painting belonged to a kind of yin wood. The word "locust" is separated from "wood" and "ghost", so the locust tree is also called ghost wood, which has the ability to gather yin and raise ghosts.

It's a pity that until I finished reading all the books in the view, I couldn't find a way to crack the succubus in the painting.

In addition, Li Congyan regretted that he could not find the information related to the "Seventy-two Earth Evil Techniques".

Since the crossing, he has turned over the ancestral booklet of the Li family countless times, and he has not gained anything except for being endowed with the technique of "Secret Communication". Judging by its name, the book may record seventy-two kinds of supernatural powers, if you can learn them all, where will you be afraid of this little ghost, and you can burn the demons and monsters clean with a mouthful of samadhi true fire.

It's just that how to practice is not lawful.

......

In just five days, I read all the books.

Li Congyan has gained a lot, especially a travelogue called "Strange Power and Chaos God", which is very popular with him.

The book records the experience of a swordsman who was born with yin and yang eyes, traveled all over the world, and killed demons with one sword and one person. People are mortals, and swords are mortals, but they kill the demons and ghosts in all directions, so they are not happy.

"Whether it is a ghost or a goblin, but the methods are weirder, not as terrifying as imagined, and mortals can kill them. Isn't it said that people are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are afraid of people for seven points, so there is this truth in it. ”

Figured this out.

Li Congyan felt that he didn't have to blindly escape, he could try to fight with the succubus.

That swordsman has yin and yang eyes, and he has a supernatural power "Youtong", and his abilities are similar.

It's just a sword and swordsmanship.

======

Since the immortal little Taoist priest gave two talismans, Li Congyan pasted the evil charm on the picture scroll, and he temporarily stayed away from the harassment of the succubus.

This day, early in the morning.

When he got up, he checked the scroll as usual.

After a closer look, I saw that the evil spirit exorcism talisman was more than half shorter than the beginning, and there were obvious scorch marks on the edges, as if it had been burned by fire.

The talisman is constantly being eroded by the ghost qi, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the ghost will make a comeback.

However, it is gratifying to know that the succubus's ability must not be strong, otherwise it would not be limited by an ordinary evil charm.

......

"Is my uncle going out again?"

At the gate of Zhao's mansion, the little maid chased after her and asked.

"Go out and walk around. ”

"Can I bring the fish?"

"Not very convenient. ”

"Oh. The little maid bit her lip, looked like she wanted to say something, and finally hesitated for a moment, and said, "If my uncle goes to Yixianglou, it's best to dress up in disguise, otherwise it will be bad to be recognized and told to Miss." ”

After going out early and returning to the Taoist temple for a few days in a row, this girl thought he had gone to the Qinglou.

"Don't think about it. Li Congyan smiled, "Let's go." ”

With that, he turned around and went out the door.

The collection of books in the Taoist temple has been read, and I will not go there today.

It didn't take long.

Li Congyan appeared outside the city, carrying a wine jar in his hand, and came to a tiled house in the field.

Strange to say, there is no grass in a radius of ten steps around the house, only bare black soil. When you step on it, there is a sticky feeling on the soles of your feet, which is wet and soft, and it also emits a foul smell.

This is Yizhuang, a place where coffins are usually placed. Due to disrepair, large chunks of lime fell from the walls, revealing potholes of red bricks, and only half of the gate remained, and the other half was missing.

From a distance, you can see that twenty or thirty coffins are placed horizontally and vertically on the ground.

"Anyone?"

Outside the door, Li Congyan shouted.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one answered, he walked in.

Crossing the threshold, the vision suddenly darkened, and there were several large holes in the roof, but the light seemed to be invisibly blocked, and it could not shine in. The sun is shining outside, but the inside is gloomy and dark, revealing a clammy chill, like a haunted house in a horror movie.

The strong smell of corpses choked people and made them want to vomit, so he covered his mouth and nose and asked again.

"Anyone?"

After waiting for a while, no one responded.

"It seems that no one drinks this good bamboo leaf green. ”

Li Congyan seemed to be talking to himself.

After that, the hand that carried the wine jar loosened.

Syllable!

The wine jar was torn apart, the wine flowed all over the ground, and the strong aroma of wine diluted the smell of corpses a lot.

Then.

There was a sudden noise in Yizhuang.

"Click-click-"

Li Congyan looked at it, and saw that the lid of a coffin in the corner of the wall was slowly lifted.

A pair of sleek, swarthy palms protrude from the slit. Then, the lid of the coffin was pushed open with both palms, and a thin and old figure sat up, with his back to Li Congyan.

Li Congyan watched quietly, only to see the man's head slowly turn around, looking at him at an angle of almost half a week, his shriveled lips opened and closed, and he made a hoarse sound.

"Something?"

"Apprentice. ”

"Get out. ”

......

Li Congyan inquired in advance.

The little old man in front of him, who was less than one meter six tall, had gray hair, was dry and thin, and had a lame leg, named Jia Wude.

When he was young, as his name suggests, he relied on his own unique skills to do some things that bullied men and women and bullied the weak, which was really "immoral". However, I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet, and once I encountered hard stubble and was knocked off a leg.

After that, he took his heart and became honest. With his amazing sword skills, he went to the yamen to become an executioner. Even if he was lame, his knife was still fierce and fast, and he never cut off his head a second time.

Beheading is an evil craft, and there are a few sayings circulating in the industry: "Kill ninety-nine, and stop when the time comes." Killed more than 100 people, cut off children and grandchildren. "However, Jia Wude is a bold person, he doesn't believe in this evil, he doesn't listen to the persuasion of others, and he has two or three hundred severed heads.

When his wife died violently and his children died, he suddenly woke up and regretted his mistakes, but it was too late. In his later years, Lao Jia bought drunk all day long, borrowed alcohol to kill his sorrows, gradually squandered his savings, and sold his real estate to buy alcohol.

In the end, he was penniless and had nowhere to live, so he hid in Yizhuang and spent his days with corpses.

It can be said that the end is very bleak.

......

The little old man limped to Li Congyan, picked up the broken wine jar on the ground, and licked the remaining liquor away with "sucking", his dry cheeks showed an intoxicated redness, and his mouth was muttering.

"The stinky boy spoils the wine, and he deserves to be struck by lightning. ”

Li Congyan squatted down, faced Lao Jia face to face, and said seriously:

"I want to learn from you how to cut people to death with a single sword. ”

"Fuck off!"

"You teach me, and I will buy a jar of wine every three days to honor you. ”

"Do you have any money?"

"My mother-in-law has a lot of money. ”

"Hey, you eat soft rice. ”

"To teach or not to teach?"

"Old man, I want to drink Fenjiu. ”
