Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 186 Divine General
The pale evil spirit flowed out of Long Zongshu's nostrils like snot bubbles.

Ran Qing, whose energy and blood were depleted, felt a little dizzy, and hurriedly asked Mo Li to bring the black earthenware jar containing the ghost.

He pinched one end of the white "snot bubble" with one hand, pulled the evil ghost out of the dragon tree, and stuffed it into the black clay pot.

At this time, the evil ghost had been tortured to death by the [Exorcism Spell] and was completely unable to resist.

Ran Qing pulled it out continuously and stuffed it into the clay jar.

Finally, all the pale mucus was stuffed into the jar, and Long Zongshu, who was possessed by a ghost, had his eyelids trembling, as if he wanted to wake up.

Ran Qing carefully helped him wipe the incense ash off his body, zipped up his clothes, and untied the ropes on his hands and feet.

Only then did he look at the coffin beside him.

"You can get ready to go."

Ran Qing walked to the coffin and carefully pushed open the heavy coffin lid.

From the coffin lid, the candlelight of the soul-guiding lamp emerged.

But Ran Qing hid aside in advance to avoid being illuminated by the candlelight, and he sprinkled a handful of red rope figurines in.

Those little red rope figures that were babbling and screaming jumped into the coffin and ran quickly inside.

Soon, little red rope figures began to wriggle out of the coffin.

They shouted "hehe" and crawled out together, dragging an ancient copper coin which was a bit heavy for them.

Seeing this copper coin, Ran Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

“…Really.”

He reached out and took the ancient copper coin, then put the red rope figures into the canvas bag, and then looked at Mo Li and Long Zongshu.

At this time, Long Zongshu has awakened.

He sat beside the coffin, rubbing his head in pain, looking a little dizzy.

"Is it...done?" Long Zongshu, who was possessed by a ghost, looked confused and had no idea what was going on.

When he just woke up, he felt sore all over and his hands and feet were weak, as if he had run two kilometers.

Ran Qing nodded, indicating that he had caught the ghost: "We should return to the human world."

Looking at the cold fog around him, Ran Qing said, "But if we go up, we might face that huge snake directly."

The giant snake was probably hiding in its lair, waiting for Ran Qing and the others to return.

Long Zongshu rubbed his swollen eyebrows, feeling inexplicably nauseous, and his nose felt cold, as if he had a lot of snot.

He took a breath and said, "But that snake doesn't seem very powerful..."

If that giant snake was really scary, it could rush out and bite everyone present to death.

But this giant snake chose to lie dormant and did not attack for a long time. Perhaps it was not as powerful as imagined.

Or maybe...

"It might be afraid of the soul-guiding lamp," Ran Qing looked at the coffin, which contained the body of Taoist Zhang who died hundreds of years ago, and the slowly burning soul-guiding lamp.

"We can use this light."

Ran Qing pointed at the coffin lid and said, "The lid of this coffin can block the light of the soul-guiding lamp."

"We took the coffin lid away separately, and several people stood under the coffin lid to carry it away, while the soul-guiding lamp was placed on top of the coffin lid."

"This way, the evil monsters in the cave won't dare approach us, and we can carry the coffin lid and keep walking out until we're out of the tiankeng."

This is the safest and most reliable method that Ran Qing could think of.

He couldn't solve the evil power of the soul-guiding lamp, but he could use this method to use the soul-guiding lamp to deter other evil spirits.

Mo Li looked at him with a strange expression and said, "You are really clever. You can even come up with such a clever idea... But this coffin lid is a bit heavy. How long can we hold it up?"

"What if the lamp oil is spilled during the process? Will it cause any trouble?"

Ran Qing walked to the side of the coffin, gently lifted the misplaced coffin lid, and said, "It's a bit heavy, but it should be no problem for the three of us to lift it together." "It's not like we can't rest if we get tired in the middle of the journey."

"We carried such heavy backpacks here. Now we can throw away the backpacks and just carry the coffin lid. We should be able to carry it out."

Ran Qing's idea was well thought out.

The coffin lid, which had been left to dry in the nest for hundreds of years and had long since dried and decayed, was much lighter than an ordinary coffin lid.

It's no problem for three people to lift the coffin lid together.

The only thing you need to be careful about is not to spill the lamp oil in the middle of the process.

After listening to Ran Qing's plan, Long Zongshu nodded without hesitation: "Let's do it this way. Just be careful. I think this method is feasible."

Now that the ghost in the coffin has been dealt with, there is no problem in lifting the coffin lid away.

Mo Li looked at Ran Qing and said hesitantly, "But...if we encounter something blocking the way, it will be troublesome."

"Once we start carrying this coffin lid, our hands will never be free."

The girl has something to say.

Ran Qing and Long Zongshu both looked at her.

Ran Qing was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

Mo Li pointed at Ran Qing's canvas bag with a dry laugh and said, "The ghost in your jar... Although you have captured it, if it was really a Taoist priest from the Beidi Shagui lineage in its lifetime, then it will be a bit troublesome."

"The Northern Emperor's Black Law is very strict. This Taoist used heretical and evil methods and violated the Northern Emperor's Black Law. According to the law, he must be buried in the Iron Wall Mountain after his death."

"You might not be able to bring it back. Maybe we'll just be halfway there..."

Before Mo Li could finish his words, a cold and fierce wind suddenly blew from the edge of the fog.

The next second, the heavy and harsh sound of war drums rang out in the fog.

A breath as hot and fierce as the scorching sun that Ran Qing had never felt before came from the fog, accompanied by heavy footsteps and the sound of armor colliding.

The expressions of the people beside the coffin changed drastically.

In the thick fog, two rows of burly and strong figures appeared vaguely.

They are wearing armor and beating war drums, like soldiers going to war in ancient times, with a terrifying aura that makes people shudder and panic.

Mo Li immediately dragged Xiao Mianhua to Ran Qing's side and asked in surprise, "You came so quickly?"

Long Zongshu was still in a daze, looking at the heavy sound of war drums suddenly approaching in the fog, not knowing what was happening.

"What is coming so fast?" Long Zongshu asked hurriedly.

Mo Li said anxiously: "The Beidi evil ghost lineage, the righteous god of the Exorcism Institute!"

"According to the laws of the Northern Emperor, if a Taoist priest or a magistrate practices evil methods and violates the laws, they will be dragged into the Iron Wall Mountain after death and suffer endless torture."

"These are the righteous gods who are here to capture the Taoist ghosts!"

Mo Li looked at Ran Qing: "Throw that jar away! You can't afford to offend the righteous gods!"

Mo Li was a little anxious, fearing that Ran Qing would be reluctant to part with the evil ghost he had just caught.

But Ran Qing has never been a reckless person who refuses to listen to advice.

The moment he saw the shadows in the fog, he took out the black can from the canvas bag without hesitation and threw it forward.

At the same time, he pulled Mo Li and the others back to the side of the coffin, and looked at the burly figure in the fog with vigilance and panic.

The righteous god of Beidi Exorcism Temple?

Isn't it the evil master worshipped by those in the left path...

He had never seen a true god, but the description of the true god in "The Trial of the Second Sister and the Demon Slayer" didn't seem very friendly...
