For this Zhongyuan ritual, Xuan Xia deliberately learned the method of opening the heavenly eye from Yan Wentao in advance, just to see what Li Qiaozhen would become after being saved.

After Yan Wentao finished teaching seriously, he asked Xuan Xia hesitantly: "Boss, have you never participated in this kind of ritual?"

During the two days when Xuan Xia went to Jiang City to work, Yan Wentao got to know Xuan Xia better while chatting with Uncle Zhong.

Among them were things that Xuan Xia had no contact with before receiving the Immortality View.

When he learned about this situation, Yan Wentao was depressed for a long time. Without him, he couldn't believe that Xuan Xia hadn't been exposed to these things since he was a child.

After all, she is very proficient in talismans.

However, there are many aspects that can prove that she is indeed not exposed to these things since she was a child. Just like when Yanjing dealt with the Ding Lu family matter before, she didn't know how to defend herself.

So when Xuan Xia wanted to learn spiritual vision and wanted to meet Li Qiaozhen who had been saved, Yan Wentao had such a guess.

Xuan Xia nodded and said, "Yes."

The guess was confirmed, Yan Wentao couldn't explain his mood, and his expression became complicated.

Xuan Xia looked at his expression and asked doubtfully: "Why is it like this?"

Yan Wentao said quickly: "It's okay. Just...Boss, are you sure you want to ask for help when you do something?"

"Are there any taboos or taboos? You can't open your eyes when doing things?"

"No, there is no such thing as that." Yan Wentao thought for a while, and quickly said self-deprecatingly: "Hey, it's just me who bothers me. Boss, it's not like you haven't seen dead souls before."

Xuan Xia raised his eyebrows.

Weird.
-
When the ritual ceremony began, Xuan Xia invited the divine eye on his own and watched Yan Wentao preside over the ritual ceremony with Taoist Qin in the courtyard.

This was the first time that Yan Wentao had presided over this kind of ritual ceremony. He was still a little stressed before the start, fearing that he would lose his place. However, when he stood on the altar and officially started to ask for the chanting, his pressure completely disappeared. All that's left is complete selflessness.

As the ritual process progressed, Yan Wentao released Li Qiaozhen, who had been imprisoned for many days.

Li Qiaozhen's appearance still looked scary, but her mood was quite stable. She even showed a little piety after hearing Yan Wentao chanting sutras.

Although she was restrained, Yan Wentao had given her some advice in the past few days, and she also learned from Yan Wentao that Shen Jiabing had surrendered.

Her resentment had dissipated.

At the same time, following Yan Wentao's prayer, many dead souls came into the Taoist temple.

These are the ancestors of the believers and pilgrims. Because they were asked to worship their ancestors in the temple, all the ancestors came to the temple.

Xuan Xia looked at the small place, suddenly full of ghosts.

But this is not over yet. In addition to worshiping ancestors, today's rituals also include worshiping the souls of the dead. In other words, lonely ghosts can also come to receive fragrant food.

Compared with the ancestors who were neatly dressed and had peaceful faces, there were more lonely ghosts in the back.

This richness is present in all aspects.

And in terms of number, it is obviously more than the ancestors who were prayed for.

Fortunately, these lonely ghosts were still in order, ranking behind the ancestors of the believers and pilgrims, and did not run around randomly.

Xuan Xia ignored these lonely ghosts and focused his attention on the ancestors in front.

She specifically learned how to ask for help from Yan Wentao. In fact, she didn't just want to see Li Qiaozhen, she also wanted to see her great-grandfather.

But when she finished identifying all the ghosts of her ancestors, she didn't see her great-grandfather.

She didn't give up and searched again, but still couldn't see him.

Xuan Xia couldn't help it anymore, lowered his head and asked Qin Taoist beside him softly: "Have you seen my great-grandfather?"

Daochang Qin raised his eyes. Compared with Xuan Xia, he still looked calm and calm.

"No, Mr. Xuan didn't come."

"Are you late?" Xuan Xia asked him, "Or did Taoist Yan not pray for me?"

Xuan Xia thought that she had made an agreement with Yan Wentao on the day she came back from Jiang City. During the Zhongyuan ritual, he would also pray for her that her great-grandfather would come back to Guanli.

Today is not the day for local officials to release spirits full of karma from the underworld. Xuan Xia felt that based on what her great-grandfather had done before him, she did not believe that her great-grandfather was dissatisfied with his merits.

She thought so and told Taoist Master Qin so.

Taoist Master Qin agreed with her, and then comforted her: "So there is another possibility. Mr. Xuan has completed his merits and has been reincarnated long ago."

When Xuan Xia heard it, he felt it was very reliable and reasonable.

"you're right."

The anxious mood that was originally felt was relieved.

The ritual was still going on. After Yan Wentao offered incense to the souls present, he began the final ritual of salvation.

Xuan Xia asked Taoist Qin about these ghosts again. If she hadn't seen them with her own eyes now, she wouldn't have known there were so many ghosts in Ningzhou.

And these are definitely not all, because tonight Baoyiguan and other Taoist temples will also use their methods to worship lonely souls.

Taoist priest Qin looked at the lonely ghosts in the yard and said thoughtfully: "There are indeed many more than in previous years."

And as Yan Wentao's rituals progressed, more and more lonely ghosts arrived late, and the entire courtyard could hardly stand.

Uncle Zhong and the others were also in the temple. They couldn't see what was happening in the temple, but they could feel that the temperature inside the temple suddenly dropped a lot.

Fortunately, the three men in Li Xinze are strong in yang energy, and the older Uncle Zhong didn't feel any discomfort when he was with them.

Xuan Xia didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, as Taoist Qin said that there were more lonely souls than last year. He could only say: "It seems that Taoist Yan is quite capable of attracting so many lonely souls."

Yan Wentao on the stage didn't know what Xuan Xia said, so he continued to chant the ritual.

After being saved by Yan Wentao, Li Qiaozhen lost all her anger and returned to her former appearance.

Just like what Xuan Xia had seen in the fantasy scene at Aunt Feng's house. Li Qiaozhen's face was calm. Knowing that Xuan Xia was at the scene, she turned back to look at Xuan Xia, grinned and moved her lips.

Judging from her lip movements, she should have said the word "thank you".

Xuan Xia nodded at her, although he didn't feel that he had done anything to deserve her gratitude.

The ritual of salvation reached the final step, and along with the last verse of the lyrics, Yan Wentao rang the bell in his hand.

After the Dharma bell rang, a strong wind suddenly blew into the temple from outside. The strong wind blew Yan Wentao on the stage, and the decorations on the stage were also blown away.

The long flags moved rapidly with the wind, and the burned money and silk were also swept into the air by the strong wind. Because they had not been burned out, the sparks flickered in the wind.

"wrong."

Taoist Master Qin suddenly said something, and Xuan Xia's heart skipped a beat.

"what?"

Just after this sound, the courtyard suddenly changed.

There was a faint ringtone in the wind.

Those lonely souls who had been transcended by Yan Wentao suddenly changed back to their original appearance, even more terrifying than their original appearance.

Their eyes all turned into bloody pupils without pupils, and those red pupils seemed to glow in the night.

These dead souls even showed their form. Uncle Zhong saw clearly what was going on in the yard in a few moments, and his expression changed.

Xuan Xia's eyes widened.

This is not "wrong", this is "bad"!
Yan Wentao, who was on the stage, also stopped moving and looked at the scene below the stage in a daze, suddenly suspecting that his ritual had failed.

Instead of saving these lonely souls, he inspired their ferocity and turned them into... ghosts? !

Now these evil ghosts were in complete disorder. Some attacked the souls of the ancestors who had completed their careers, and some scattered in all directions. Some of them rushed towards Yan Wentao, some towards Li Xinze and others who were far away, and the rest towards Xuan Xia. The edge is coming.

Xuan Xia and Daochang Qin started at the same time.

At the same time, Taoist Master Qin said to Uncle Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, you go into the Lingguan Palace."

Almost as soon as Taoist Master Qin finished speaking, Uncle Zhong and others immediately reacted, turned around, entered the nearest Lingguan Hall, and closed the door again.

Those blood-eyed ghosts stopped in front of the palace gate. They were still afraid of the main hall where the priests were enshrined.

"How could this happen, Taoist Master Qin?" Xuan Xia admitted that he had very little knowledge. Could the Zhongyuan ritual be done like this?
Taoist Qin didn't say anything. After controlling the wave of ghosts, he cast his gaze into the night sky.

The strong wind had subsided by now, and there was no more interference from the wind. When the bell rang again, it seemed so abrupt.

Xuan Xia's eyes followed the sound, and he soon saw Taoist Master Qin go together.

I don’t know when a figure stood on the gate of Changsheng Temple.

The figure held a thin stick in his hand, with a string of small bells hanging on the end of the stick. The bells Xuan Xia heard came from there.

It was also because of the decoration on the thin stick that Xuan Xia and the others were able to discover the existence of the figure.

Otherwise, the other person will be like melting into the night.

"It's that person!" Yan Wentao also spotted the figure, and he quickly identified the other person, "Ren Yaozhe!"

Ren Yaozhe! ?

Xuan Xia shuddered.

Ren Yaozhe had been in Ningzhou for so many days, and had been playing hide and seek with Gong Ziliu for so many days, but he took advantage of the night of Zhongyuan to come to Changsheng Temple.

This is obviously...the one who came here is evil!
But it's a good thing, after searching for it for so long, it finally appeared.

Xuan Xia thought and slowly ground his back teeth.

When Ren Yaozhe heard that he was recognized, he stopped covering up, raised his chin, exposed his eyes, then revealed his whole face, and then smiled evilly at Xuan Xia.

"I know you've been looking for me, so I'm here."

It was the first time that Xuan Xia heard Ren Yaozhe speak. His voice was just like his smile, with an evil energy.

Daochang Qin took the wheelchair one step forward and stood in front of Xuan Xia, not forgetting to say: "Be careful."

Xuan Xia said "hmm" and stared at Ren Yaozhe.

"Did you do these lonely souls?" After watching for a few seconds, Xuan Xia suddenly asked Ren Yaozhe.

Ren Yaozhe chuckled twice and replied to her: "Don't you Taoist priests really like salvation? These are given to you. How do you like them?"

As he said that, Ren Yaozhe waved the thin stick in his hand and the bell dinged. The evil ghosts who had been restrained were aroused again and struggled towards Xuan Xia and the others.

Taoist Master Qin raised his hand and drew a talisman in the air with his fingers. Once the talisman was completed, it immediately glowed with golden light and flew towards the fierce ghosts rushing over.

As soon as the evil ghosts ate the talisman, they flew out instantly and fell to the ground unable to get up.

Such a fierce attack also made other ghosts feel timid. They roared one by one, but they did not dare to approach.

Upon seeing this, Yan Wentao restrained the wave of ghosts at hand, quickly jumped off the stage and ran to Daozhang Qin.

It would be safer to stay with my master.

"You are just a Taoist priest, and your whole family is a Taoist priest!" Xuan Xia snorted.

Ren Yaozhe: "..."

Ren Yaozhe had never experienced this kind of quarrel, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Xuan Xia also said, "I prefer to save you than to save them. Why don't you die quickly and let me save you?"
