Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 242: Daoist Priesthood
call out--

A faint red light shot out from between the eyebrows of the young man in Taoist robes.

This is what he learned in his dream, a unique method of opening the Yin-Yang Eyes, which can see through certain illusions!

At this moment, he saw a bloody world, as if the sky and the earth were dyed red, with bright red and enchanting blood flowing everywhere.

He looked horrified. What on earth was going on?
This can't be an ordinary ghost!

It could be an evil ghost, or even a fierce ghost, or even a vicious ghost!
This world not only has ghosts and evil spirits, but also mutated evil ghosts, fierce ghosts, vicious ghosts, and even great evil spirits at the level of great scholars.

"Brother, it, it's coming."

Mao Xiang pointed at the bloody footprints on the ground nervously and quickly hid behind the young man in Taoist robes.

In the eyes of the young man in Taoist robe, those pairs of bloody footprints looked like a faint black shadow, emitting a strange aura. It must be the work of evil spirits without a doubt.

It seems to devour people's vitality.

At this moment, the black shadow was devouring the vitality of the two of them in big gulps, and it seemed that every time it swallowed a mouthful of vitality, the black shadow would become a little more solid.

The young man in Taoist robe glanced around, immediately stretched out his right hand into his arms, and pinched out a yellow talisman with his index and middle fingers.

"disease!"

The talisman flew out and suddenly burned in front of the black shadow, turning into a blazing fire cloud.

This is a low-grade fire cloud talisman that can transform into a fire cloud.

"ah"--

The black shadow was burned by the fire cloud, making a series of sizzling sounds, and then turned into a puff of green smoke.

There was a wisp of strange black air in the green smoke.

"It's really an evil ghost!"

The young man in Taoist robe had a serious expression on his face.

This is not an evil ghost, it just has a hint of the evil ghost's breath.

If it was that terrifying evil ghost, how could it be burned by an ordinary yellow talisman?
In his dream, it seemed that talismans could be divided into five levels: gold, silver, purple, blue, and yellow, and each level could be divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower.

Among them, the golden talisman is the most powerful, roughly equivalent to the level of a great sage, but it requires the caster to have the highest level of Taoism and consumes the most energy.

The power of some high-quality golden talismans may reach the semi-saint level.

The power is extremely terrifying.

The silver talisman comes second.

Roughly equivalent to the power of a great scholar.

Purple and blue talismans are next in importance.

It is roughly equivalent to the level of a minister of literature and a literary master. Some of their talismans may reach the level of a great scholar, but there are also some talismans whose power is only equivalent to that of a scholar.

The least powerful talisman is the yellow talisman, which is also the most common talisman.

But the more powerful ones can reach the level of scholars, and can even kill several scholars in seconds with one talisman.

If you forcefully cast a high-level talisman, in most cases you will not be able to cast it due to insufficient mana. If by chance, even if you succeed in casting it, you may still suffer the backlash of the talisman's mana.

In mild cases, the meridians are disordered and hemiplegia occurs.

In severe cases, blood will flow from all seven orifices and the patient will die on the spot.

Maoshan, that is, the Huoyun Talisman of the young man in Taoist robe, is a mid-grade yellow-level Huoyun Talisman, and its power is almost equivalent to that of the Wencai realm.

Talismans and spells are mostly the same.

For example, the Fire Cloud Talisman was derived from the Fire Cloud Curse. Drawing the spell on the talisman naturally saves time and effort. Moreover, many yellow-level talismans can be used without the need for Taoist practice, and ordinary people can also exert their power.

Currently Maoshan can only draw medium-grade yellow-level talismans.

However, when the time, location and people are right, it is possible to get lucky and occasionally draw a top-grade yellow-level talisman.

Although he is not yet able to draw a top-grade yellow-level talisman, he can successfully cast a top-grade yellow-level spell.

This is the confidence that gives him the courage to come to Tonggu Village.

The power of the top-grade yellow-level spell can allow him to reach the level of a scholar.

"Where does this evil ghost aura come from? Is it really coming from an evil ghost?" Mao Shan stared at the evil ghost aura floating up and said, "Second sister, do you remember how to use the Fire Cloud Talisman?"

"remember."

Mao Xiang nodded and asked, "Brother, do you want to use it now?"

"It's not needed now, but you take it out first. If you find anything wrong, use it immediately." Mao Shan reminded, fearing that he would not be able to take care of it for a while when the evil ghost appeared.

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiang immediately took out a mid-grade yellow-level talisman.

The Fire Cloud Talisman can restrain evil spirits, and the top-grade Yellow-grade Fire Cloud Talisman can even burn evil spirits, so Maoshan has painted quite a few mid-grade Yellow-grade Fire Cloud Talismans.

There was also a top-grade yellow-level Fire Cloud Talisman. This was obtained after hundreds of failures, and it was extremely precious, so Maoshan left it to Mao Xiang.

At this time, the world was still bloody.

Maoshan frowned tightly. Could it be that the evil ghost slaughtered the entire village?

He vaguely recalled more scenes from his dream, and it seemed that there was an even more terrifying existence behind it, and in the end, he would need to send out the Yin soldiers to resolve it...

However, there seems to be no ghost soldiers in this world.

There are no heavenly soldiers either.

Ever since Maoshan woke up from the dream, he began to try to find the Yin soldiers.

Although the ghost soldiers in Youdu are also called ghost soldiers by the world, they are not real ghost soldiers, and it seems that they do not have the duties of the gods in the underworld.

In his dream, after the Taoist priest gave him the ordnance, he had the power to dispatch a certain number of magical soldiers and ghost generals.

Therefore, we can slay demons and evil spirits, save lives, and relieve those in distress.

Without receiving the ordination and official position, one has no authority to command gods or ghosts.

The so-called bestowal of the ordination certificate means that one can be listed in the Heavenly Court or the Earthly Court and have a Taoist position or divine duty, and is considered a person of the Heavenly Court or the Earthly Court.

But there is no heaven or underworld in this world.

This made it impossible for him to use most of the powerful spells he had learned from his dreams, and he was unable to obtain a Taoist priesthood, or have his name ascended to heaven or earth.

And this time he traveled west, he heard that the City God of Qingshan had descended to the world.

The name of Qingshan City God always gave him a familiar feeling, as if in that mysterious dream, he was a non-staff member of Youfang Palace under the Qingshan City God's Mansion.

That is to say, he is called Deng Di Cao, and can command certain evil soldiers and ghosts by being granted the ordination certificate.

So he came to take a look.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

At this time, Mao Xiang also found that something was wrong. He looked around and said quickly, "If you can't win, you'd better leave quickly."

Mao Shan came back to his senses and nodded, saying, "Let's go."

"Where?"

Mao Xiang asked.

"Let's check the situation first."

Maoshan looked around and walked out quickly.

After a while, the two returned to the well, both frowning as they looked at the two bright red bloody handprints on the edge of the well, as if an evil ghost had just crawled out of it.

"flutter!"

"flutter!"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of water splashing in the well, as if someone was struggling in the well.

"Brother, there is a ghost in the well!"

Mao Xiang quickly reminded him, holding the middle-grade yellow-level Fire Cloud Talisman tightly in his hand, and hesitated before asking, "Could it be a human?"

"Second sister, cast the Fire Cloud Talisman."

Mao Shan hesitated for a moment and said, "There is no human in the well, but a ghost."

This time he did not take action, but instructed Mao Xiang to take action. After all, Mao Xiang learned spells from him, and he could not do everything by himself.

In this way, Mao Xiang will never be able to leave the mountain.

"it is good!"

Mao Xiang nodded quickly, not feeling timid at all.

There was some excitement mixed with the tension.

"disease!"

The talisman that Mao Xiang was holding flew out and fell into the well.

wow——

The talisman suddenly ignited and turned into a cloud of fire that burned into the well.

"what--"

Screams were immediately heard from the well.

It seemed as if some evil spirits were being burned by the fire clouds, turning into bursts of green smoke.
