I slightly turned my head, and I could see the scene in front of the house.
Shen's physique is somewhat plump, about forty years old. His eyes are widely spaced, and his eyebrows are long and slender.
As he spoke, his expressions on his face were rich.
"Mr. Min, I will have a serious talk with you about Luoxian Shen, the Ghost Niche, and his old feud. However, those who have been involved with him have not had a good outcome. Despite Jin Yang's formidable Ghost Niche and close ties with Tian Shou Daoist Temple, he did not spare a single force originally allied with him and completely destroyed it."
"Oh right, he also has a solar god ghost by his side, the mysterious Xianden with golden features like a deity, have you heard of him?"
Mr. Min, with a tall and slender physique, stroked his chin and said, "Wu Zhongkuan, the reputation of Yin-Yang world is not small. However, he died in ignominy. Hahaha, his wife was wronged by others and he killed them. But in the end, he buried himself with a living corpse."
"Indeed, he was somewhat pitiful, but his abilities were undeniable. He was raised by Luoxian Shen. In the end, this man should not be provoked. We are in a three-province intersection, so let's enjoy ourselves here. The last time, I almost got tricked by Mr. Luo. He insisted on surrounding Ruohe Daoist Temple and fortunately did not face Luoxian Shen directly. This man harbors a grudge." Shen continued his speech.
The rest of the ghost niches remained silent.
Even the others next to Shen's side, all dressed in luxurious attire, didn't speak.
However, their expressions seemed to indicate deep agreement.
My eyebrows furrowed slightly, and indeed, the situation at four guidelines mountain is too big.
In just two days, it had spread all the way to Guanyao City.
However, that's understandable.
Even without these incidents, any major event at Four Guidelines Mountain would attract the attention of countless eyes in the Yin-Yang world.
In addition, the people of this Guanyao City Ghost Niche organization are not weak.
Even if the talisman had been broken, Yu Xiu's own abilities would have been enough to severely injure the ninth elder of Tian Shou Taoist Temple. Yet, they managed to confine Yu Xiu to this small courtyard.
Was it through sheer strength, or some kind of method from Mr. Min?
Just as I was pondering how to proceed, I noticed that Lao Gong's eyes were constantly changing, and his complexion turned green, looking even more unpleasant.
The next second, Lao Gong's head suddenly hit the ground and rolled towards us.
I immediately followed Lao Gong, leaving the yard behind, and soon I couldn't hear any voices.
The night silence was as calm as water, and Lao Gong was rolling faster and faster. I kept following him closely, determined not to lose sight of him.
Suddenly, Lao Gong stopped, and in front of him was a small courtyard. To his astonishment, there was a scarecrow wrapped in black dog skin in the yard.
"I knew that that dead thing didn't have such great abilities. It just stabilized the energy in this village," Lao Gong said with a stern expression.
My eyelid twitched slightly, and my heart sank a little with a touch of suspicion.
"Dead thing" must be referring to Mr. Min.
Lao Gong's anger was undoubtedly caused by Mr. Min saying that Wu Zhongkuan died in ignominy.
However, how could this qi kou be related to Yu Xiu?
While I was asking Lao Gong, he told me to get some thunder and burn the scarecrow.
I chanted the landmine spell, locking the energy on the scarecrow. Suddenly, there was a spark as the ground and the scarecrow came into contact, and an arc of electricity appeared.
The black dog skin and straw began to burn immediately.
Lao Gong immediately jumped onto my shoulders, reminding me to go to the next location.
Without hesitation, I followed Lao Gong as he left.
During that time, he explained the reason to me.
According to his explanation, the widowed young woman may be fierce and has the talisman's blessing, but Liu family's Taoist priest is not one to be taken lightly. He estimated that after eating a defeat, Liu ZiYu and others must have gathered quite a few people, and they fought until all of Yu Xiu's souls were condensed together. Even Yu Xiu had eaten the ghosts of all the villagers, achieving a certain balance between them.
The Liu family, unable to capture it, will surely retreat.
With Yu Xiu having become one with the villagers, there would definitely be a struggle for control over the mind.
The Guanyao City Ghost Niche, coupled with a Yin-Yang Master, first broke the talisman to weaken Yu Xiu. Then, taking advantage of Yu Xiu's own "internal strife", they sealed off the energy flow in the village, using the malevolent qi of black dog skin to interfere and prevent Yu Xiu from absorbing vitality. This is akin to letting him consume his own essence and preventing his ghostly qi from being replenished.
Gradually, Yu Xiu's space of movement would become smaller and smaller. She would gradually consume herself empty, and she would also lose her ability to move. Of course, the mind of a ghost is solidified, and the more she faces such danger, the more Yu Xiu's different mind will struggle to find a resolution.
With internal and external troubles, the Guanyao City Ghost Niche and Mr. Min must have some abilities to curb Yu Xiu.
If we hadn't arrived in time, Yu Xiu might have been taken away by the Guanyao City Ghost Niche and become a tool in their hands.
While explaining, Lao Gong led me to the remaining seven directions, where indeed there was a scarecrow wrapped in black dog skin in each one.
After burning all of them, the village road began to fill with a white mist.
Yes, the fog in this village is already quite heavy. It does not make sense for the mist to disappear when the talisman is broken.
Yu Xiu's strength is not solely due to the talisman, but because she faced this kind of trial and happened to be targeted.
These white mist, continuously flowing towards the direction we came from.
Lao Gong let out a sinister laugh.
"Boss, let's play something exciting."
"Those people will definitely get chaotic. Some will come back to check these places, and some will continue to guard the Widow and Little Lady. We can take advantage of their confusion and kill a few along the way."
I narrowed my eyes slightly and nodded, agreeing to it.
Then, Lao Gong directed me on the way.
I didn't know the direction, but I knew that he led me back to a courtyard that I had passed through earlier.
Indeed, there were shadows moving inside the courtyard, and they had heard my movements, exclaiming: "Go notify Mr. Min! The scarecrow has been burned! Something seems off in this village!"
I made no sound and walked straight into the courtyard.
Only when I got close could I see the face of the person, which was an ordinary Ghost Niche person.
He froze when he saw me, clearly not recognizing who I was.
Without hesitation, I formed a hand seal with one hand and swung the copper sword with the other.
"Killing is just a drop in the ocean. We must not kill innocent people. I have never stained the blood of an innocent person."
The distance was too close, and the Taoism had a natural suppressive effect on ghosts. These ordinary Ghost Niche people, whose strength was comparable to when I was learning the Nine Streams Arts, were not weak. However, for a Daoist priest, they were far too weak!
With one sword strike, I ended his life.
Suddenly, a ghost shadow appeared on his body, and he panicked and tried to run away.
Before I could use stronger Taoist spells, Lao Gong's head swelled against the wind! He swallowed that ghost shadow in one breath, gnashing and chewing!
Then, Lao Gong directed me to the next location. Sure enough, someone had just entered the courtyard, and with another spell, I cleanly killed another Ghost Niche person without any resistance from them.
After a few more times, I realized that Lao Gong was having me move back and forth between these few directions.
In the first two instances, I only encountered one person each time. After that, it was two or three people, but it was no effort to take them out.
I just realized that, unknowingly, there had been a huge gap between me and these Ghost Niche people!
