The Demonic Taoist Priest Emerges from the Mountain

Ning Jinrou's outstretched hand froze in mid-air as she looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong, sir?"

I shook my head.

Because the effects of cow tears still exist.

I carefully observed the entire corridor.

It's not because I'm paranoid or what.

I'm someone who really trusts my intuition.

Just as Ning Jinrou was about to open the door, I suddenly had a bad feeling.

It was as if opening this door would lead to something terrible.

But after carefully examining the corridor, I didn't find anything suspicious.

However, my sense of crisis grew stronger and stronger.

"Didn't you notice that the exorcism charm you gave me is gone?"

I finally focused my gaze on the door and said to Ning Jinrou.

The problem I just noticed is right here.

If it were just because he didn't post it, I might not have been so cautious.

The problem is that there are traces of glue on Lu Ze's door where talismans were pasted.

But the talisman is gone!

Ning Jinrou froze for a moment; she had just thought I was being too sensitive.

But when I asked that question, she suddenly realized something.

He looked carefully behind the door, and his expression changed slightly.

The exorcism spell is perfectly effective at driving away ordinary ghosts and demons.

After all, this was painted by Ning Jinrou herself, and it carries Ning Jinrou's Qi.

Moreover, tonight I only detained the soul of Lu Ze's ancestor, and using the [Exorcism Spell] to resist the Yin energy is more than enough.

Therefore, the talisman disappeared inexplicably.

Or rather... an even more powerful evil spirit entered this house right under our noses!

In an instant, Ning Jinrou and I were on tenterhooks.

"This is not good."

Ning Jinrou frowned, her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed.

It wouldn't be surprising if some sinister entity bypassed my senses and entered this house.

Because I originally had no Qi, I didn't even enter the door of a sorcerer.

Ke Ningjinrou is different.

She is a genuine sorcerer who has cultivated Qi.

She can handle most evil spirits.

But this evil spirit was able to escape her senses.

That's only one possibility.

This evil spirit is stronger than Ning Jinrou.

Also, don't forget, there's a big rooster in the room!

No evil spirit can escape the eyes of the Sun and Rabbit.

But the thing hidden on the second floor was able to be avoided, which is terrifying to think about!

"Should we open this door or not?"

Ning Jinrou turned around, glanced at me, and asked.

I shook my head.

"Let Lu Ze come out by himself."

I replied.

After all, this house belongs to Lu Ze.

Ning Jinrou and I were just guests.

Moreover, I have a strong feeling that if the two of us open this door, something very bad will definitely happen.

From a young age, I was born with the aura of the Water Official, even though Master Qin used the Soul-Concealing Nail to conceal my soul.

But I remain vigilant every day.

It was this vigilance that made my premonition so accurate.

Ning Jinrou finally believed me. She went up and knocked on the door, twice on the door and once on the door.

This is a unique trick of the Xuanmen school.

There are explanations for that.

The knocking sound is meant for the living to hear.

The lightness was a warning to the evil spirits inside.

If the ghosts persist, then we must subdue them with force.

This aligns with the traditional concept of "courtesy before force."

Ning Jinrou learned the orthodox talisman technique from Master Qin.

I know a little bit about the rules of Taoism.

Speaking of this, I must mention the Ghost-Slaying Path that I learned with Master Qin.

The Demon-Slaying Path is actually referred to as a heretical or unorthodox path within the Xuanmen (Taoist school).

Because of his excessive murderous aura, he was not recognized by orthodox Taoist sects.

Master Qin was expelled from Longhu Mountain because he secretly learned the Ghost-Slaying Path.

It's just that I'm not strong enough right now. Otherwise, why would I even bother knocking on the door? I could just kick it open. If the ghost inside is easy to talk to, I could send him to be reincarnated. If he's not, I could beat him to a pulp.

After knocking on the door, Ning Jinrou took two steps back and waited quietly for the person inside to open it.

However, this wait lasted for several minutes.

Lu Ze in the room did not react at all.

"Oh no!"

Ning Jinrou's expression began to turn serious.

"Lu Ze might be in trouble!"

Her tone was somewhat anxious.

"This guy can't get hurt; he hasn't paid me for those talismans yet!"

Ning Jinrou gritted her teeth, ignoring all taboos.

He kicked the door hard.

Despite being a woman and looking thin and frail, she was still a woman.

But the power of that kick was considerable.

She kicked the thick, solid wood door open.

"call!"

As the door was kicked open, a cold wind blew in.

The room was pitch black, without a single ray of light.

Ning Jinrou frowned. Relying on her own Qi protecting her, she walked directly into the room.

When I saw Ning Jinrou violently break down the door, I immediately sensed something was wrong. That intense sense of crisis grew stronger and stronger. But Ning Jinrou had already gone inside, and I couldn't just stand by and watch her be in danger, so I immediately followed her inside.

The room felt damp and cold.

There was also a faint musty smell in the air.

This smell is quite similar to the smell emanating from the stairwells of old residential buildings.

It's quite unusual for Lu Ze, a wealthy man, to have this kind of smell in his room.

"Boss Lu!"

Ning Jinrou called out.

But there was no response from inside the room.

The room was eerily quiet.

The effects of ox tears have not completely worn off.

Therefore, darkness doesn't have much of an impact on me.

I casually found the light switch by the wall.

It clicked down.

However, it didn't work.

The lights in the room seemed to be broken.

My brow furrowed even deeper.

There is no other reason.

I can't sense any yin energy in the room.

Moreover, I just looked around the room, and it was completely empty.

Where is Lu Ze?

I had my doubts.

Ning Jinrou also noticed that Lu Ze was not in the room.

Where will he go?

Just as we were both filled with questions.

Suddenly, the sound of flowing water rang out.

This startled us.

As the sound of running water stopped, the bathroom door inside the room was opened.

A figure walked out from inside.

This person was Lu Ze.

However, Lu Ze's current state is very strange.

He was like a walking corpse.

My limbs were very stiff.

"Boss Lu?"

Ning Jinrou called out.

Lu Ze did not respond to her.

Instead, he walked straight to the window.

Ning Jinrou and I exchanged a glance.

We all knew something was wrong.

There was no yin energy in the room.

In other words, there are no ghosts here!

How did Lu Ze end up like this?

Ning Jinrou has an impatient personality.

She doesn't want to think about things she can't understand.

He immediately walked towards Lu Ze.

She reached out and put her hand on Lu Ze's shoulder.

"Boss Lu!"

She shouted.

This slap and shout made Lu Ze tremble violently.

He seemed to have come back to his senses.

He instantly felt a surge of relief.

His empty eyes gradually regained their sparkle, and at the same time, the lights in the room came on.

"Mr. Ning...?"

He looked at Ning Jinrou, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"What are you doing here? Um... have you taken care of my business?"

He asked, puzzled.

I have no recollection of any of his strange behavior just now.

I stood by the door with a furrowed brow.

Something's not right, something's definitely not right!

Lu Ze has other things on his mind!
