Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Patriarch of the Gu Family

This sudden scene made Deng An slightly stunned.

At this time, a sick and weak young scholar took the lead in coming out of the room. Behind him were an old man with a white beard and an old woman with a sallow face. He roared wildly and ran towards the young Taoist priest, "Let's kill him and avenge the dead Lan'er!"

The young Taoist priest couldn't hear the scholar's words, but he could see three zombie-like "people" killing him, and he was immediately so frightened that his face turned pale, and his legs trembled like chaff.

Before he came, his grandfather had already told the situation in the ghost town in detail, and he naturally knew what these "zombies" were, and if it weren't for his uncle's face and the chance to become a monk, he wouldn't dare to come at all.

"These ghosts have come to the ghost town for six or seven hundred years, can be regarded as early residents, originally, they are four people living together, more than ten years ago, there was a 'big immortal' came to the ghost town, because there was no spiritual grass around the ancestral hall, he went door to door to look for it, when going to their house, the two sides had a conflict, 'big immortal' with a magic mirror, the four of the named Lan'er to kill, since then, every time there is a 'big immortal' to the ghost town, they almost have to seek revenge, but the other party has the means to save their lives, and they can't get their wish again and again. ”

The middle-aged fat man was worried that Deng An didn't understand the reason, and seemed to be talking to himself.

When Deng An heard this, his heart was like a mixture. The feelings of mortals for decades are still difficult to part, let alone the feelings of hundreds of years. If you really be able to attain the Great Dao in the future and become an immortal and dead existence, will it also mean endless loneliness?

Thinking of where to go, he couldn't help but shake his head and look at the street. For him at present, these problems are too far away, not to mention, the way of heaven is the fairest, and there is only gain if there is loss.

After the young Taoist priest stayed for a while, the scholar was already less than a foot away from him.

Deng An suddenly found that the sick scholar had stopped, hesitated, and seemed to be particularly afraid of something. He quickly found the reason, the robe was painted with some strange patterns, and from time to time it glowed with a faint yellow light, protecting it in the center.

Deng An immediately understood that this magic robe should be a magic robe to ward off evil spirits, no wonder these mortals dared to break into the ghost town alone, it turned out to be something to rely on.

However, the effect of the robe only lasted for four or five breaths, and the sick scholar broke through the yellow light and pounced on the young Taoist priest, followed by the white-bearded old man and the old woman.

Seeing that the three ghosts were close at hand, the young Taoist priest took a few steps back almost instinctively, and took out a piece of black dead wood from his arms, which was only a foot long, as if it had been burned by the fire, and the surface was condensed with thick black ashes.

Seeing this piece of dead wood, Deng An almost exclaimed. Because among the several methods of condensing the ghostly fire, with the help of the Heavenly Fire Scorched Wood is one of them. As his mood stirred, a layer of yin qi involuntarily appeared outside his soul.

The ghosts in the inn were unknown to the reason, and they were almost unstable in their footing by the breeze formed by the flow of clouds, and they drifted to both sides, and they were all shocked at the moment.

Deng An knew that he was out of shape, and he hurriedly collected the yin qi into his body.

After the young Taoist priest took out the Heavenly Fire Scorched Wood, he hurriedly shook it outside his body, and a terrifying aura spread out in all directions, forcing the scholar and the other three ghosts to retreat four or five steps away, and they could no longer get close. Although the young Taoist priest saw with his own eyes that the three ghosts could not get close, he was still a little uneasy, almost subconsciously, holding the heavenly fire scorched wood in his hand, away from the house where the scholars and other ghosts came out, and retreated to the inn on the other side of the street.

The expressions on their faces were occupied by anger and hideousness, and the three ghosts followed closely and surrounded the young Taoist priest in a semicircle, and the scholar among them threatened viciously: "Throw away the wooden stick in your hand immediately, otherwise, you will not be able to survive for a while, and you will not be able to die." ”

It's a pity that these words can at most encourage the young Taoist, but they can't have any impact on the young Taoist priest, because he can't hear the scholar's words at all. Perhaps, if he could hear it, it would be possible to disarm and surrender, at the mercy of the three ghosts.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, but the young Taoist priest felt that his life was like a year, and when he realized his situation, he pondered how to continue to threaten the three ghosts with the Heavenly Fire Scorched Wood, forcing them to get out of the way, as for whether to look for the Falling Star Immortal Grass, he had already been left behind.

"Huh?" The young Taoist priest just lifted the Heavenly Fire Scorched Wood, but was horrified to find that it seemed to be stuck by something, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a strange black hand, firmly holding the other end of the Heavenly Fire Scorched Wood. He screamed and fought to get it, this day the fire scorched wood was his biggest reliance on entering the ghost town, and he couldn't lose it no matter what.

What made the young Taoist priest desperate was that he failed to take the Heavenly Fire Scorched Wood, and he smashed it twice with his big hand and snatched it from his hands. Fortunately, the three ghosts besieging him, because they were shocked by the big black hand in front of them, no one dared to act rashly.

The window facing the street of the inn suddenly opened, and the big hand quickly shrank back, and a cloud of yin qi immediately floated out of it, transforming into the appearance of a young scholar. Deng An didn't believe the words of the middle-aged fat man and others at first, and didn't dare to rashly walk on the street during the day, but when he saw the three ghosts appearing and unscathed, he finally had a bottom in his heart.

Deng An played with the Heavenly Fire Scorched Wood in his hand, felt the Yang breath coming from it, and his heart was shocked, if he hadn't become a meditation cultivator now, he really wouldn't dare to approach this inconspicuous wood, the Heavenly Fire Scorched Wood had a strong restraint effect on ordinary ghosts.

"Where did you get this Heavenly Fire Scorched Wood?" Deng An looked at the terrified young Taoist priest, trying his best to make a kind expression on his face. Ordinary ghosts can't communicate with mortals, but for Deng An, who is a meditation cultivator, it is no longer a problem.

Although the young Taoist priest had never seen pork eaten, he had also seen a pig run, and immediately guessed Deng An's identity, and he was so frightened that he couldn't say a word.

Deng An frowned, unwilling to waste time, and threatened repeatedly: "If you don't answer, or if I don't answer satisfactorily, I will leave you to them." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the three ghosts staring at him.

This method really worked, the young Taoist priest's face, which had lost his blood color in fright, became even more white as paper, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded: "Great Immortal Calm Anger!"

"Do you want me to repeat what I just said?"

The villain answered Daxian's question. ”

After the young Taoist priest's questioning, Deng An was slightly disappointed.

It turned out that this person was from a small Xiuzhen family in the northeast of Ju Kingdom, the Gu family. The Gu family has a total of five Qi cultivation period cultivators, and the highest cultivation is the patriarch, but he has only practiced Qi at the sixth level, and that Heavenly Fire Scorched Wood is the inheritance of the Gu family, not something he found in a certain place. According to the Gu family's ancestors, this Heavenly Fire Scorched Wood was found by chance in a primeval forest, and because it could not be refined into a magic weapon for monks, it was temporarily stored in a storehouse.

The young man is the nephew of the current Gu family patriarch, and he has good qualifications, and he is most likely to embark on the immortal path, in order to let him go to the ghost town to try the immortal fate, the patriarch in addition to giving him the Taoist robe with the effect of warding off evil spirits, he also lent this heavenly fire scorched wood.

Originally, Deng An wanted to inquire about the discovery of the Heavenly Fire Scorched Wood, so that he could find some more to increase the success rate of condensing the Ghost Fire, so it seemed that this idea was completely frustrated. Seeing that he couldn't ask for any more useful information, he glanced at the three ghosts on the periphery lightly, made a decision in his heart, and said to the young man of the Gu family, "You can go." ”

"Thank you Daxian for your kindness!" The young man was relieved, turned his head and left, for him, saving his life first was much better than the distant immortal fate.

Seeing this, the scholar and the other three ghosts hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Senior, you can't let him go." Because Deng An made a promise in front of them, they didn't dare to stop the young man, so as not to anger this meditation practice, so they could only cry out and plead.

Deng An's face was displeased, and he said in a deep voice: "I have already promised this person, do you want me to go back on my word? I understand the grievances between you and foreign mortals, the so-called injustice has a head, and the debtor has a master, you can find the original person to seek revenge." ”

In front of absolute strength, although the three ghosts were extremely reluctant, they had to lower their heads and acquiesce to the facts. They stared at the young man with resentment until the other disappeared outside the ghost town. Losing the support of the belief in revenge, the three ghosts returned to the house.

Deng An separated a ball of pure yin qi and wrapped the Heavenly Fire Scorched Wood and sent it into the soul body, which, like the corpse demon bone, was temporarily stored above the soul core. Before meditating and cultivating the body, when carrying items, this clumsy method was basically used, although it was convenient, but the security was low, and it was very easy to lose items, and Deng An was helpless about it.

As for the aura emanating from the scorched wood of the heavenly fire, Deng An was not worried at all. Because the number is too small, not only is it not dangerous, but it can play a role in exercising the soul body.

Deng An entered the inn and went straight back to the guest room to cultivate, and a few of his ghosts did not bother, and each returned to his favorite position and entered sleep.

"It's the fellow Daoist in the town, can you come out and see it?"

A few hours later, Deng An was startled out of his cultivation state by a shout, and a trace of anger appeared on his face. Judging by the penetrating power of the voice, the person who came should be a monk. Could it be that someone from the Gu family is looking for a place? He quickly guessed the reason and went out of the room again.

"These people are still endless, why are they here again. ”

The ghosts in the inn were apparently awakened, and they were all cursing incessantly. For them, if it is a monk, they don't have to worry too much, because these monks can't enter the ghost town at all, and they don't have to pay the consequences for the addition of evil words.

Deng An walked out of the inn, and soon saw that in the direction of the entrance of the ghost town, there was a white-haired old man in a blue shirt standing there, and behind him, it seemed that it was the young man of the Gu family just now. The strength of the old man is higher than that of Deng An, and he is about the sixth level of Qi cultivation.

"Old man Gu Jinsong, the current head of the Gu family, I don't know what to call your friend?"

I'm afraid that the old one is coming out for the younger one, Deng An couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, and after floating a distance towards the exit of the ghost town, he replied lightly: "Under Deng An." ”
