At night, half of the streets were gone, and only the screams of insects could be heard.

Xiao Lie and Zuo Tianming tiptoed out of the back wall of the inn and walked on the dark street, although it was ten years in the middle of summer, the night wind was still chilling.

According to the position mentioned by the previous people, they groped on the night road. Every time he walked through a courtyard, Xiao Lie would go in to see if there was a well, or to see if there was anything strange about the surrounding buildings. Looking for it, Xiao Lie suddenly sensed a faint resentment, followed this faint resentment, and found a small courtyard, the yard is not big, there are chickens and ducks, two or three brick houses are connected together, and next to the well in the courtyard, he saw a brand-new wooden stake, which was full of inscriptions and charms.

Xiao Lie motioned to Zuo Tianming, this is it, floated into the courtyard, the two listened to the movement in the house, heard the even panting sound and the loud snoring sound, and the two of them were relieved, and they were sure that they were sleeping very deeply.

Taking out the treasure bag on their waists, the two of them began to prepare. First of all, a circle of spiritual runes was laid on the periphery of the well, and this spiritual rune was called a soundproof note, and after forming an enchantment, the sound inside could not be heard from the outside, and no matter how loud the movement was, it would not be transmitted to the outside. An incense burner is lit, a white candle is placed on the left and right, and a soul-attracting banner is inserted on the far right. Zuo Tianming took out the gourd that Xiao Lie had prepared, which was the gourd used in the previous ghost village, pulled out the gourd plug, aimed at the soul lock pile, and nodded to indicate that Xiao Lie could start pulling out the stake.

Xiao Lie first grabbed a handful of cinnabar powder, evenly coated the entire palm, held the top of the soul lock pile with both hands, called out a breath of spiritual energy from the dantian, and pulled out the soul lock pile little by little with both hands.

Throwing away the soul lock pile, Xiao Lie chanted to the entrance of the cave: "The grievances are over, the unjust soul karma is full, there is no more concern in the world, the dust returns to the dust, drifts into the Huangquan Road with the wind, enters the reincarnation early, rebuilds the good fruit, and recounts the good fruit.

The black smoke cleared, and a thin old lady stood in front of the two, Xiao Lie only felt that the undead in front of him were extremely resentful, and the temperature of the surrounding air dropped a lot, making him shiver. Zuo Tianming vigorously urged the true qi in his body, but the gourd seemed to be out of order, and he didn't react at all, looking at Xiao Lie with a blank face.

Xiao Lie immediately knew that Aunt Wang's soul was resentful, and there was no way to put away the gourd, so he took out the soul bell on his waist and shook it a few times in front of Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang looked directly at the person holding the bell, and sneered gloomily: "Little Housheng, I will not hurt your life if you think of the credit for letting me out, but if you hinder me, I will not be polite." After saying that, another black whirlwind flew directly into the tiled house.

Xiao Lie saw that the big thing was not good, so he urged his spiritual power to expand the range of the soundproofing notes, so that the soundproofing notes enveloped the entire courtyard, in order not to alarm the surrounding residents. As soon as I got the soundproofing note, I heard the screams in the house, a man and a woman begging again and again.

The two of them made progress and entered the door. When he came to the house, the scene in front of him made Zuo Tianming vomit all the food he ate at night. I saw that Wang Dazhuang and his wife had already returned to the world, and their death was quite ugly. Aunt Wang was chewing on their internal organs, and gnawed on the meat on Wang Dazhuang's body one by one. Although Xiao Lie's concentration was much stronger than Zuo Tianming's, he was also disgusted by this scene. Blood splattered all over the bed, and the smell of blood rushed straight into the nose and made people chill.

Zuo Tianming vomited and patted Xiao Lie. Xiao Lie came back to his senses and immediately went to stop Aunt Wang, and before he could get to him, Aunt Wang said to the two people: "My grievances are really over, what do you want to do with my wife, just come." Swallowed the meat in his mouth and floated in front of Xiao Lie.

Xiao Lie was completely stupid, and he didn't know what to do.

"Auntie, we know that you have suffered and been wronged, but you can't do this, he is your son, why can you bear to swallow him alive?" Xiao Lie asked in disbelief.

Aunt Wang looked at the wreckage of the couple on the bed: "Son, I gave birth to him for 30 years, and not only did he not appreciate me, but he used that attitude to abuse me. I swallowed him alive to dissolve the resentment in my heart, and secondly, if I didn't do this, one day in the future, he, a ruffian, would definitely let others beat him to death. How can I, a mother, bear to see him beaten to death? I might as well let me eat it, so that I can feel better. After speaking, Aunt Wang cried whining, and the cry made people's hairs stand upside down, which was eerie and terrifying.

"The matter has come to this, and we can only wait for the fate of the city god. You enter the gourd, and I will take you to the Chenghuang Yamen. Xiao Lie took the gourd in Zuo Tianming's hand and aimed it at Aunt Wang's soul, and was just about to urge the aura when he heard a voice outside.

"Such a chore, don't bother Xiao Ye, just leave it to me, I'll take her back to the Chenghuang Yamen. ”

Xiao Lie looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a person dressed as a servant walking in from outside the door. first looked at Zuo Tianming, who was vomiting wildly, and then looked at Xiao Lie: "I said Xiao Ye, is this person your newly recruited buddy? This is too useless, just tossing him like this with such a little storm, it seems that you have to teach him well, this line is not so easy to do." ”

"Yo, who should I be, it turned out to be you, Fifth Brother, why did you come out on an errand today?" Xiao Lie greeted him with a smile on his face.

The person who spoke was Diao Wu, the head of the local Chenghuang Yamen Soul Hooking Division: "Isn't it because of this old lady Wang's business, when the people under his hands came to hook the soul, they found that the soul was not here, go back and tell me, I think there must be a problem here, besides, his son Wang Dazhuang's behavior is really not very good, no problem is strange." I'm going to come here today to take a look, and I'll see you. After speaking, he took out the chain used to hook the soul, and locked up Aunt Wang.

Diao Wu pulled Aunt Wang out, and Xiao Lie helped Zuo Tianming to follow behind. When he came to the courtyard, Diao Wu said to Xiao Lie again: "Okay, the soul of this old lady Wang can be regarded as being captured, and the souls of his son and daughter-in-law have also been escorted back to the Chenghuang Yamen." Are you going to go back and rest, or do you want to go with me to the Chenghuang Yamen for a walk. Let me tell you, Lord Chenghuang has been talking about you for the past two days, saying that you haven't come to us anymore, and he misses you. Actually, what he thinks most about is when you can be a ghost general. ”

"Don't don't, I understand Lord Chenghuang's kindness, I'm still so young, I don't want to eat this imperial food so early. I've always asked you before, look at how old I can live in the book of life and death, and I'm so prepared in my heart. Xiao Lie took the opportunity to ask an important question.

Diao Wu replied lightly: "Leaking the book of life and death, I am going to hell, and we can't see the life and death of your cultivators, only the book of life and death in the hands of the judge of the capital city can see it." ”

"Okay, okay, don't ask, don't ask, so as not to embarrass you. Zuo Tianming, who was originally holding him, actually lay on the ground and fainted while they were talking. Xiao Lie and Diao Wu checked it, there was nothing serious, it was just a coma caused by excessive fright, and they woke up at dawn, and Xiao Lie didn't pay much attention to it.

Diao Wu hehehe sneered and said: "You can't do this trick, let's train and train well in the future, it's always too troublesome, it's better not to want this person." ”

Xiao Lie's face was red at Diao Wu's words, and he thought that this Zuo Tianming was not afraid of goblins and ghosts, which was really embarrassing. looked at Zuo Tianming lying on the ground, and didn't answer Diao Wu's words.

"Okay, there's nothing to do, I'll leave first, and I'll have time to think about coming to see Lord Chenghuang. Diao Wu pulled Aunt Wang and walked in the direction of the Chenghuang Yamen.

Looking at the unconscious Zuo Tianming, Xiao Lie was so troubled, he was tired all night, and he had to get him back in the end, I really don't know which life owes him. Troublesome and troublesome, Xiao Lie still picked up Zuo Tianming and went back to the inn.

The next evening, Zuo Tianming woke up. Xiao Lie said a few words to him, and the two went to dinner, Zuo Tianming originally wanted to ask about what happened after he fainted yesterday, but when he thought of that scene, his stomach went up and down, and he couldn't help but ask after eating.

After listening to Xiao Lie, Zuo Tianming was extremely admired, he didn't expect that his eldest brother Xiao would have such great ability, even the city god was so optimistic about him, he felt that he was with the right person, and he would definitely develop in the future with Xiao Lie.

Xiao Lie told him that after returning to Yizhuang, when there was no business, the task of the two of them was to concentrate on cultivating the mental method, otherwise the current cultivation would not be bullshit. Even if you are a ghost general, you can only be an inferior ghost general, and you can't lift it up to the big picture. After chatting for a while, both of them were tired, so they went to sleep.

The next day, the rooster crowed three times before they got up. Xiao Lie's heart was like an arrow, he didn't know what was going on at home after coming out for so long, and after settling the store money, the two of them rode back to Hecheng.
