Knife splashing

Chapter 250 Bo Yun is weird
In the corner of the yard, there was a blurry figure.

"Master, you are here with bad intentions!"

Sharifei gritted his teeth, his voice trembling slightly.

He traveled around with a few people and saw many evil spirits. Although he was not a Taoist, he understood some basics.

Ghosts and spirits are invisible and there are only four situations in which they can be seen.

One is to awaken the supernatural power of the eyes, which can distinguish between yin and yang.

Second, a dying person or someone who is extremely unlucky will see this thing.

Third, in some special areas, such as places with strong evil spirits, even ordinary people can see these things.

But they all had no clairvoyance, this courtyard was popular, and it also used the Feng Shui layout of a yang house, so there was only the last possibility left.

A demon with extremely high skills!
Although Wang Daoxuan was also anxious, he had no time to speak. He chanted the soul-calling spell and shook the soul-calming bell in his hand.

The Chu Ling paper figurine had already entered the room along the red rope, and was only two or three meters away from the old woman in black sitting on the bed.

But at this distance, the paper man moved slower and slower.

It seemed as if it was blocked by some force.

As for Li Yan, he made a sword flower, holding the Dust-Breaking Sword across his chest, and raised his left hand slightly, ready to use the Soul-Hooking Rope at any time.

Summoning the ghost soldiers takes time, and it is obviously too late now.

He looked alert, with the hair on the back of his neck standing on end, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

This is the damn Yin God traveling,
Only an old demon with profound Taoism skills can use it!

He should have thought of it earlier.

Ordinary mountain monsters can only communicate with humans in Shangfang language, but this tiger monster can speak and instruct Wu Laosi on how to break the formation, which shows that he is extremely intelligent.

You know, no matter whether it is an ordinary person or a monster, the limit that can be reached is the third level of Taoism.

When one reaches the fourth or fifth floor, the soul can travel a thousand miles in an instant.

The higher the level of Taoism, the farther one can be away from the original body.

There must also be superior methods.

For example, "Red Girl", although she has reached the fourth level of Taoism, she relied on evil methods to break through, which has too many disadvantages. Once her ghost wanders out, her zombie body will cause trouble.

I didn’t expect that there was such an old monster hidden in Dangyang County.

Call ~
At this moment, a strong cold wind suddenly blew around.

The shadow became increasingly blurred, and a pair of blood-red eyes seemed to flicker in the darkness. Then, a cold and hoarse voice rang in everyone's ears:
"Mo nosy!"

The cold wind dissipated and the black shadow disappeared.

The small courtyard then became quiet.

Ring ring ring!
Wang Daoxuan continued to ring the bell.

This time, the Chu Ling paper man had no more obstacles and moved quickly along the red rope and landed on the old woman's body.

"Ho ho!"

The old woman in black suddenly opened her eyes, phlegm gurgled in her mouth, her forehead was covered in cold sweat, her body was shaking, and she seemed to be struggling.

The copper coins on his body also kept shaking.

Everyone then saw clearly that the old woman's eyes were white and she was obviously blind.

Wang Daoxuan hurried into the house, pinching his fingers and chanting: "The Lord determines the emperor's command, sweeping the heaven and earth, the twenty-eight constellations, the seven stars in a row, the heaven and earth start fighting, the flying wolf Qian..."

This is a mantra to calm the mind and soul.

The soul of the old woman in black has just returned to its place, and she has not yet recovered from the shock. If her soul is not stabilized, it will escape from her body again.

As Wang Daoxuan chanted the spell, the flowers gradually calmed down, and the old woman stopped trembling. She stared at the beams with her white eyes and gasped heavily.

Wang Daoxuan heaved a sigh of relief and put away the copper coins one by one, saying softly, "Don't be afraid, fellow Daoist. You are back."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

The old woman's voice was hoarse and trembling slightly.

Seeing that he was still in shock, Wang Daoxuan didn't say much, but walked outside and looked at Li Yan and others, all with serious expressions.

"It's a bit difficult."

Li Yan frowned and shook his head slightly.

It is difficult for them to deal with a tiger demon of this level by themselves. Even with the help of soldiers from the underworld, they have to find the demon's cave first and set up a formation to trap it.

"What does that mean?"

Sharifei looked at the shivering little white fox in Lu San's arms and couldn't help but ask.

Wang Daoxuan seemed to be thinking, "I think the Headless Knight may have nothing to do with this monster."

"My fellow Taoists guessed correctly..."

Just then, a hoarse voice sounded in the room.

However, the old woman in black had recovered, her face was pale, and she was struggling to get up from the bed.

Several people hurried into the room, and Sharifei picked up the tea on the table, poured a bowl, and handed it to the old woman in black.

The old woman was obviously thirsty. After drinking two bowls of wine in a row, she took a breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, fellow Taoists."

Her eyes were white and she was just staring straight ahead. She was indeed blind.

"May I ask how many people I am, old lady Guo Wang?"

"I am Wang Daoxuan, from Guanzhong. I passed by this place and found something wrong..."

They were all from the Xuanmen sect, and after a brief introduction they knew each other's backgrounds.

It is indeed extraordinary that Guo Wangshi was able to find clues.

She was a witch who inherited her family's magic and was good at fortune-telling. She also raised a few guardian snakes and was quite famous in Jingzhou.

Knowing that Li Yan and others were appointed by the City God Temple, Guo Wang became even more respectful and told them everything that had happened.

"I was careless, old lady..."

"The Taixuan Orthodox Church was busy with the war, so they entrusted many matters to local sorcerers. I handled a few of them, gained some fame, and became a little carried away."

"I heard that the evil spirits here were impersonating Guan Yu and causing trouble, so I brought my disciples here, hoping to become famous in a battle."

"The old woman asked the county government for the clothes of the dead, and ordered her apprentice to release guard snake spirits in all directions, and then she asked for divination and spiritual communication."

"I didn't expect that the other party was more powerful than me. Not only did he harm my disciples, he also led a wisp of my soul to the immortal monster in the mountains. I almost became a scapegoat..."

Wang Daoxuan nodded and said, "It seems that our guess is correct. These two parties are not the same and are still fighting in secret."

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Senior, do you know their background?"

Mi Po Guo Wang sighed, "The origin of the tiger demon is unclear, but it has many minions under its command, and its temperament is somewhat violent. From what it has said, it has been guarding outside Guanling for decades."

"He usually practices diligently and doesn't do any evil. I don't know what he is up to..."

"As for the other group, I do have some guesses. The magic of the sorcerers is different, but they are all vicious and cruel. Maybe they are related to the evil demon hiding in the Jingchu village."

"These people are wanted by the Orthodox Church and have been causing trouble in the mountains. I have encountered them several times before. Now, taking advantage of the war, the Orthodox Church has no time to take care of other things and has mobilized in large numbers. They must have some big plans."

Li Yan was somewhat puzzled. "Although Dangyang is a small county, it is a strategic point. Could it be that the people of Jingchu Mountain want to break through from here? But why are they making such a fuss?"

"I have a guess."

The Mi Po spoke in a hoarse voice, "Have you ever heard of the story of the well being overturned on Mount Zigai?"

Wang Daoxuan became interested, "Fellow Daoist, please speak."

Mi Po Guo Wang sighed: "Zigai Cave is a blessed place. Although it is not well-known, it is also very important."

"The origin of this mountain is that the top of the mountain is drooping in all directions, like an umbrella, and the trees and rocks on the mountain are purple. When you climb the mountain, you can see a sea of ​​purple clouds, so it is called Zigai Mountain."

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ge Xianweng once made elixirs on this mountain to cure diseases and save lives. It is said that when he was making the elixir, he fed it to a rooster to see if it would work, but the rooster died..."

"In a rage, Ge Xianweng threw the alchemy furnace into the well, but then the rooster turned into a phoenix and flew away. The immortal was immediately happy and used his magical powers to turn the well upside down, pouring out the alchemy furnace, and successfully refining the elixir."

"Since then, the Bandao Well has become a scenic spot in Zigai Mountain. The water in the well is clear, and it does not rise when it rains or when it is dry. There are often clouds rising above the well mouth." "There are rumors in the Xuanmen that this well is very important. It is the first spiritual orifice in Zigai Mountain and contains the elixir of Ge Xianweng. However, no one has ever discovered it."

"Later, a rumor spread from somewhere. This Bandao Well suppressed a powerful demon. Yuquan Mountain Temple and Guanling supported each other and formed a large formation with Zigai Mountain to suppress the demon."

"Now there are tiger monsters hiding in the mountains, and evil people from Jingchu are causing trouble. Guanling is constantly struck by lightning. Could it be that these people want to activate the formation?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

I didn’t expect that such a rumor was hidden in this small Dangyang County.

It is so bizarre that ordinary people would just laugh it off as a myth, but they are all people from the mysterious world and know something.

Sometimes the truth is exaggerated and becomes a story. When the story is passed on by word of mouth, it is exaggerated again and becomes a myth.

There is always a connection between myth and reality.

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Let's not talk about Guanling. It is one of the three major Guan temples in Shenzhou. There must be someone guarding it."

"I heard that Yuquan Mountain Temple is the ancestral temple of Buddhism and Taoism. There are many Dharma lineages on Zigai Mountain. Don't they know about this?"

Old Mi Po smiled bitterly and said, "That's unclear. Although the war is tense, they only sent a few apprentices to deal with it. I'm afraid there is something fishy going on."

"Everyone, I dare not get involved in this matter anymore."

"I advise you to stop caring about it, and be careful not to cause disaster."

Her words were cryptic, but everyone understood instantly.

Although Dangyang County is small, it has three holy places, involving Taixuan Orthodox Religion, Buddhism and Taoism as well as several local sects.

For example, the Zhushan Sect built an incense hall on the mountain.

Such a big incident happened, but everyone turned a deaf ear and dumb. There must be more going on behind the scenes.

The fortune-teller was old and had just regained consciousness, so she was a little tired. After saying this, she fell into a deep sleep.

Li Yan and others returned to their rooms.

They looked at each other in silence.

Sha Lifei cursed directly: "Damn it, there are evil spirits causing trouble in Dangyang County, but they are all pretending to be deaf and dumb. It must be related to the internal strife of Xuanmen."

"Brother Yan, let's not get involved in this mess!"

"No."

Wang Daoxuan shook his head and said, "Firstly, I have already promised Gu Hanzi and the Guan family that there must be a beginning and an end. Secondly, the evildoers are causing trouble, harming the people and tarnishing the good name of Guan Shengdijun."

"Many things are like this. If everyone pretends to be ignorant, it will only allow the evildoers to succeed. We must investigate thoroughly and report the matter to the City God Temple."

Li Yan also nodded in agreement, "Since you have agreed, you must keep your promise."

"Ah, okay."

Sharifei was somewhat helpless, "There must be a rule for this matter, otherwise we will not get anything done but get cheated by others."

Li Yan seemed to be thinking about something, and said in a cold voice: "The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light. Those who know the inside story are pretending to be deaf and dumb. Do you know why?"

Wang Daoxuan smiled and said, "They have something to hide!"

"That's right!"

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "He has something to hide, so he naturally acts in a secretive and sneaky way, which is why there are so many mysteries."

"Whoever it is, they will definitely have some concerns when taking advantage of the chaos in the southwest. We just need to act openly and honestly. Regardless of whether it is the Buddhist or Taoist lineage, if we don't want to attract punishment from the higher-ups, we can only cooperate."

"Tomorrow we will go to Guanling, then visit Yuquan Temple, and finally go to Zigai Mountain to find out who is behind this."

"We're all ready. If someone gets desperate, we won't hold back!"

"Row."

The plan was set and everyone did not hesitate any longer. They first went to tell Grandpa Guan that the people had been rescued. Then they prepared the magic tools, went to bed and rested enough.

…………

"Everyone, something happened!"

As soon as the sun rose, Master Guan came to everyone with a face full of anger, and cursed: "That fellow Wu Laosi is obsessed with money. He left his family in the middle of the night and ran away with the money."

"I sent people to search the road, but they only found the silver that had fallen, but the person was gone. The road was muddy, but there were still footprints. It looked like he had gone to the mountains."

Wang Daoxuan was speechless, then shook his head, "If it was a blood ghost, I'm afraid he would be dead by now."

Li Yan seemed to be thinking about something. "Let's go and take a look."

Everyone packed up their weapons and followed Grandpa Guan out of the village.

At this moment, the sky is still gloomy, with dark clouds. Although it has not rained yet, the road is muddy and footprints are clearly visible.

"I was bewitched by a vampire."

Wang Daoxuan checked it out and pointed at the footprints on the ground and said, "Look at these footprints. They first moved around in the same place, which means they hit a ghost wall. In the end, they were just walking on tiptoes. They must have been possessed by a ghost."

Li Yan looked in the direction of the footprints.

Seeing that this half of the footprints led straight to the nearby forest, he asked, "Have you sent anyone to search?"

Mr. Guan looked embarrassed, "This... no one dares to go."

"The old man did the right thing!"

Li Yan nodded and looked at Lu San.

Lu San immediately understood. He raised his hand and waved it. The falcon soared into the sky and hovered in the nearby mountains and forests.

Soon, there were discoveries, flying up and down.

"Over there, not far away."

Lu San raised his hand and pointed to the northwest corner of the forest.

Without saying a word, everyone immediately entered the forest.

Before he got close, Li Yan's face turned gloomy and he sneered, "It seems that more than one family came to see us last night."

Old Master Guan and his clansmen didn't understand what he meant, but after walking for a while, they immediately understood what Li Yan was talking about.

I saw a dozen people hanging densely on the branches in an old forest. They all had pale faces, wide-open eyes, and their tongues were stretched out.

What’s even more bizarre is that their faces and skin are covered with black and blue human handprints.

That Wu Laosi was also among them.

The rest were all men in black holding sharp blades.

"What's going on?"

Mr. Guan felt uneasy when he saw this.

Li Yan seemed to be thinking about something. He suddenly jumped up, stepped on the tree trunk to gain leverage, flew into the air, and cut several ropes with one knife.

clap clap clap!

Several bodies fell.

Li Yan ripped open the chest of one of them.

On his chest, there was a tattoo of the ferocious beast Qiongqi.

"It turns out that the Tiansheng Cult is behind this!"

When Mr. Guan saw it, he immediately understood and gnashed his teeth in anger.

Li Yan and others looked at each other with serious expressions.

Their guess is a bit conservative.

It’s not just the tiger demon that’s watching in secret.

I'm afraid there is still an old ghost in the tomb!

What secrets are hidden in Dangyang County?
