The Demonic Taoist Priest Emerges from the Mountain

A dozen or so [Puppet Talismans] were rapidly searching in different directions.

At this moment, cold sweat had already broken out on my forehead.

The ghost energy within the body is being consumed very quickly.

Within minutes, a dull ache began to throb in my lower abdomen.

Seeing this, Ning Jinrou looked worried and was about to say something when Yan Jingxia covered her mouth.

"Don't bother him. No amount of persuasion from us can change this."

Yan Jingxia said.

Ning Jinrou was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.

"Are we just going to watch him destroy himself?"

Ning Jinrou was really anxious and looked up at Yan Jingxia.

Yan Jingxia shook her head and looked at Ning Jinrou with curiosity.

"Junior Sister, you seem to have a special interest in this guy."

He raised an eyebrow; Ning Jinrou's current behavior was almost unrecognizable to Yan Jingxia.

Is this still the same junior sister who is obsessed with money and doesn't care about anything else?

Yan Jingxia was deeply puzzled.

Could it be that I've been possessed?

Ning Jinrou gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Of course it's different. This guy still has to come with me to make money from rich people. If he ruins things here, what will happen to my business? You're coming with me?"

Ning Jinrou rolled her eyes at Yan Jingxia.

Yan Jingxia quickly waved her hand and said, "I can't do that! The old man said I'm only good at feng shui and arranging layouts. You want me to catch ghosts? I really can't do that."

Yan Jingxia took several steps back.

Ning Jinrou rolled her eyes even more fiercely and said irritably, "Second Senior Brother, you're rather cunning. You always leave things unsaid. Do you have a way to find Qin Fang's father's corpse?"

"If you have any, don't hide them. If this guy keeps going like this, he'll be ruined! If he's ruined, I'll call you every time I get a job!"

As Ning Jinrou spoke, Yan Jingxia sighed silently.

"I can't stand you, you little brat!"

"Since you know how to hide your skills, can't you at least let your second senior brother have some peace and quiet?"

"I do have a way to find his father's body, but it will come at a high cost."

"This is the first time I've met him, and he's not even from our sect. Why should I bother?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Jinrou suddenly looked up, grabbed Yan Jingxia's arm, and shook it.

"Second Senior Brother, he's one of our Guanshanlou people, so why don't you help him out?"

She acted coquettishly, which was uncommon for her.

I, who was concentrating on controlling the [Puppet Talisman], also raised my head and looked at Yan Jingxia.

"If you can find my father's body, I will repay you twofold, no matter the cost."

When Yan Jingxia heard me say that, she touched his chin, her eyes darting around, and said, "There's no need to repay double. You just need to agree to one condition."

Without the slightest hesitation, I nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Yan Jingxia smiled faintly: "It's not the right time yet. I will come to find you when the time is right."

"make a deal."

I readily agreed.

Yan Jingxia is a sixth-grade array master, and he has almost reached the Refining Self and Transforming Qi realm. His strength is far greater than mine.

Therefore, something that even he couldn't handle must not be a simple matter.

But I still didn't hesitate.

Right now, finding my father's body is the most important thing!

Seeing that I readily agreed, Yan Jingxia chuckled.

He then took a compass out of his bag.

This compass is different from those on the market.

It's all black.

All the patterns on it were painted with vermilion pigment.

The most amazing thing is that there is a recessed groove on the back of this compass.

Yan Jingxia looked up at me and said, "Go get something your father usually uses, but it shouldn't be larger than this slot."

I nodded quickly and then ran into the room.

I don't know what my dad usually uses, but I suppose we have some at home.

Soon, I took out an old-fashioned Shanghai watch from my father's room.

I remember this watch; I saw my dad wearing it in a dream before, so it must be his.

Moreover, the size of this table is not much different from that of the card slot.

Yan Jingxia inserted the watch into the slot, then closed her eyes and murmured, "Seek the root of the upper Qi, find the source of the turbid Qi. The upper is clear and the lower is turbid, leaving no trace of Yin."

"Charge!"

As the last two words were uttered, the compass in Yan Jingxia's hand suddenly lit up with a red light.

Immediately afterwards, the compass needle in the center began to spin wildly, eventually landing in the southwest direction.

"Over here."

Yan Jingxia glanced at the pointer and headed southwest first.

Ning Jinrou and I quickly followed.

They walked all the way to the foot of Changsong Mountain, and the compass needle began to turn again.

Yan Jingxia waited quietly for the pointer to stop, and then headed southeast again.

We stopped at least five times along the way.

The direction is different each time.

Moreover, the mountain roads are becoming increasingly difficult to traverse.

I even suspect that Yan Jingxia is leading the way randomly.

Ning Jinrou, who was standing to the side, shook her head and said, "Second Senior Brother's [Yin-Seeking Compass] has never made a mistake."

"All those missing dead people were found thanks to Second Senior Brother's [Yin-Seeking Compass]."

"This mute monk is quite cautious."

Ning Jinrou frowned.

Before we knew it, we had ventured deep into Changshan Mountain.

Changsong Mountain is very large, and many parts of it are still undeveloped.

Therefore, the level of danger is very high.

But as we delve deeper...

The three of us had questions in our minds.

What exactly does the mute monk want to do by bringing my father's corpse to this place?

Perhaps only by finding the mute monk can we find the answer.

We walked further in for about ten minutes.

Yan Jingxia suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Although his back was to me and Ning Jinrou, we could clearly feel that Yan Jingxia's body was taut.

I quickly stepped past Yan Jingxia and stood next to him.

When I saw the scene in front of Yan Jingxia, my brows furrowed immediately.

There was a huge tree ahead.

This tree looks to be at least a hundred years old.

The most crucial thing isn't the size of the tree, but the fact that a person is hanging from it.

That person was none other than the mute monk!

The mute monk was covered in bloodstains.

Upon closer inspection, there are more than ten paths.

The most fatal wound is probably on the neck.

There was a gap there, about a finger's length long.

Fresh blood was constantly oozing from these wounds, dripping onto the fallen leaves on the ground.

Holding a compass, Yan Jingxia slowly walked to the mute monk's body, bent down, and touched the blood on the ground.

The blood was still slightly warm.

He died about ten minutes ago.

Yan Jingxia said.

I stared at the mute monk's corpse and fell silent.

Shouldn't he be carrying my father's body? How did he end up dead here?

Moreover, apart from the vegetation, I did not see my father's body.

Where exactly did my dad go?

I was getting anxious and looked again at the [Yin-Seeking Compass] in Yan Jingxia's hand. At this moment, the pointer on the compass was pointing directly at the mute monk's corpse, and it was not moving at all!
