While asking for directions, we headed towards Xuanxin Zhengzong.

Chen Gou deliberately chose a slightly off-the-beaten path, with the purpose of catching a ghost that met the requirements in the wilderness to complete the task of the Soul Holder.

This world is full of monsters, but Chen Gou searched for eight or nine days in a row, but he only encountered a few ordinary ghosts whose levels were below level ten and had no characteristics at all. They were not even evil ghosts.

However, he was getting closer and closer to his destination, Xuanxin Zhengzong. On this day, Chen Gou saw the ruins of a ruined village in front of him from a distance. It looked deserted and there was nothing special about it.

But Chen Gou raised his eyebrows and walked over quickly.

These eight or nine days were not in vain. Although he did not catch a satisfactory evil ghost, he gained a lot of experience through exploration.

For example, if the whole village is completely deserted, it is most likely related to the evil caused by monsters, otherwise there will be no disaster that can drive away the whole village.

There are even cases where the whole village is completely wiped out!

The closer he got to the ruins, the more Chen Gou felt an uneasy atmosphere, and he immediately became alert.

Although the awakened person's sixth sense is just a feeling, it is sometimes very accurate.

However, Chen Gou had just arrived at the entrance of the village. Before he could walk in, he was surrounded by several figures who suddenly rushed out of the ruins nearby.

"Hey! Who is that?"

"Why are you here alone in this wilderness?"

"Don't move, just stand there!"

There were a total of three young men in Taoist robes. Each of them shouted coldly, but they almost did not directly execute Chen Gou on the spot.

Chen Gou looked at the three of them and saw the mark of the word "Xuan" embroidered on their chests. His eyes lit up immediately and he cupped his hands and said:

"Are these three disciples of Xuan Xin Zhengzong, the leader of the righteous path? I have long admired you! I am Chen Gou, a demon subduing master of the Covenant Sect. I noticed that there is a ghostly spirit here, so I came to check it out."

The expressions of the three members of Xuanxin Zhengzong softened a lot when they heard the words "Leader of the Righteous Path". When they heard Chen Gou claiming to have conquered the devil, their expressions softened a lot, and their murderous intent was mostly restrained.

However, he still pointed the spell at him and asked attentively: "Covenant Sect? Why haven't you heard of such a demon-conquering sect before?"

Chen Gou said with a smile: "Our covenant sect is just a small sect. There are less than ten masters and disciples together. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the Xuanxin Zongzong. Isn't it normal that several famous disciples have never heard of it?"

"That makes sense." A tall, thin disciple of the Xuan Xin Sect nodded and said, "But a small sect like yours, the Shengyue Sect, only helps people exorcise evil spirits in the city. Don't come to such a dangerous place again in the future.

.”

Another short fat man who looked honest and honest also smiled and said: "Don't be offended, fellow Taoist, my senior brother is just a little more straightforward in speaking, but he also thinks about you... The spells of your Covenant Sect are incomparable to those of our Xuanxin Sect.

The more powerful the ghosts are, the less likely they will be."

They had used their spiritual thoughts to scan Chen Gou's body several times to confirm that he was a human being, so they believed his words.

In fact, Chen Gou was originally a human being, but he only had demonic horns and white heart scales, two demonic things. However, under the cover of the cunning fox necklace, it was naturally impossible for these young disciples to see any flaws.

"Now that you're here, come with us to defeat the entrenched demons, but be careful. We may not have time to take care of you then."

The last Xuanxin Sect disciple, who was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, neither black nor white, gave a serious warning, then waved his hand, and together they entered the ruins of the village and searched carefully.

really!

All the people in this village died due to the evil spirits.

In the ruins of almost every house there is a dried mummy.

What’s strange is that every mummy was vomiting before death. Some were pinching their necks, some were placing their hands on the wall, and some even stuck their fingers into their throats...

The same thing is that everyone's face ended up with an expression of extreme disgust and fear.

"Could it be that I ate some poison and vomited like this, but ended up dying from the poison?" The tall and thin man made a reasonable guess and whispered.

"It's possible, but if it's poison, the expression should be just fear. Why is there nausea?"

The short fat man frowned and murmured to himself, "Is it possible that the poison was mixed with feces and forced to be eaten?"

"You...shut up!"

The rest of the people, including Chen Gou, had a throbbing in their throats and almost vomited on the spot.

I don’t know why, but after looking at the expressions of the mummies for a long time, they gradually felt disgusted.

"No matter what kind of monster it is, once you find it, the truth will be revealed!"

The disciple who was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, neither black nor white was obviously the leader among the three. He walked out of the room and stood under the sun, and said coldly: "It is daytime now, the sun is shining high, and the demon's strength will most likely be greater."

It's suppressed, so we must find it before dark and get rid of it!"

Everyone understands the truth, but not everyone can realize it.

Several people spent several hours plowing back and forth in the village, looking over and over again, but still found nothing.

Moreover, Chen Gou did not have the idea of ​​​​fishing in troubled waters, but searched for it with all his heart. Zhu Tong also used it seven or eight times, but the problem was that he could not find it.

However, they discovered another strange thing, that is, all the people who died in the village were men, not a single woman.

Either all the women ran away, or they died without even ashes.

"It must be a ghost. If it's a demon, there's no way it won't leave traces on the ground!"

"Then we must find it before dark, otherwise the Yin Qi will prevail at night and its strength will become stronger, which will cause trouble."

The two Xuanxin Sect disciples, the disciple who is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, neither black nor white, and the tall and thin man once again made a reasonable and well-founded judgment.

But the short fat man looked at the sky and said hesitantly: "Senior brother, it's already late now, how about... let's go back today and get ready, and come back tomorrow?"

The expressions of the other two people changed, and they both knew that this was the safest decision.

But after glancing at Chen Gou aside from the corner of his eye, Senior Brother Liu Bu's gaze became firm and he said slowly: "We Xuanxin disciples take it as our duty to conquer demons. There is no reason to retreat when we can't find ghosts. Besides, if we can't find ghosts now,

What should I do if I let this evil spirit escape and go to other places to harm people?"

In fact, it's not that they are stubborn and insist on fighting with this evil ghost. If there are only three of them, leaving means leaving.

But now that there is an outsider like Chen Gou, they naturally have to take into account the reputation of Xuanxin Zongzong and don't want to leave the impression of shrinking from the battle.

"Senior brother is right, then let's continue looking for him quickly."

The three famous elites of Xuanxin Zhengzong insisted on continuing to search, and Chen Gou, who was "taking advantage of the situation", had no reason to give up halfway.

But at this time, while searching, he began to ponder in his heart.

"Since the name of this abyss world is called Liaozhai, then no matter how it is integrated, most of the powerful ghosts and ghosts should be related to Liaozhai stories."

"What kind of evil spirit targets men, but doesn't harvest yang and replenish yin like the fox demons in the White Snake World?"

"What ghosts and ghosts in Liaozhai can make people feel sick and scared before they die?"

Chen Gou recalled a dozen stories that impressed him most, but he still gained nothing.

There is nothing we can do about it. There are nearly 500 original stories in Liaozhai, and each one is an independent story, which means there are at least hundreds of ghosts that have appeared.

Those that have been made into TV series or movies are just the dozen or so famous ones. In fact, there are many less famous stories in which very vicious ghosts appear.

Thinking of this, Chen Gou became a little more alert, hoping that it was not the level of Painted Skin Ghost.

If Painted Skin Ghost hadn't been injured by Black and White Impermanence, Chen Gou might not have been a match even if he had the Brahma rosary in his hand.

Unconsciously, the sky turned completely dark. Although there was still a ray of afterglow hanging stubbornly on the horizon, the earth had already fallen into darkness.

After some discussion, they decided to spend the night in a dilapidated temple in the center of the village, waiting for the evil spirit to come to their door.

The ruined temple was filled with dust, and the doors and windows were all rotten. They would fall down with a slight push.

Fortunately, the roof and beams seemed to be fine and very strong, so there was no need to worry about being buried alive.

After the four people entered the ruined temple, they each took a corner and began to search carefully.

"Hey, this statue is so strange. Is it an Arhat or a Bodhisattva from Buddhism? Why do I seem to have never seen it before?"

The tall and thin disciple of Xuanxin Sect took a closer look at a statue enshrined in the innermost part of the ruined temple and couldn't help but become curious.

Humpty Dumpty was responsible for searching this ruined temple before. He took a few glances and found nothing wrong.

But when the tall and thin man, who was naturally suspicious, looked at it again, he always felt that something was wrong.

This statue looks vaguely like a woman in stature, but its facial features are very vague, as if it was a clay sculpture that grew naturally like this without much carving at all.

The strange thing is that this woman is still kneeling on her knees...

"No, there's something weird!"

The tall and thin disciple was suddenly startled, and hurriedly backed away while shouting.

Although he is not a disciple of Buddhism, he also knows that there is no such image of a bodhisattva or monks kneeling on their knees in Buddhism.

But it was still too late. I saw a black shadow suddenly float out of the stone statue. At a very close distance, it suddenly hugged the tall and thin disciple's head, then lowered his head... and kissed him!

Yes, this evil ghost who finally appeared did not skin and rip out the heart, did not eat the flesh and drink the blood, but kissed an authentic disciple of Xuan Xin!

Chen Gou and the other three who turned around and saw this scene were all shocked. This scene was really bizarre.

What the hell is this? You actually forcefully kiss someone??

Bang!

The disciple of the Xuanxin Sect, whose head was held by the evil ghost, panicked but slipped out two yellow talismans from the cuffs of his hands at the same time. Then he activated them with magic power and slammed them against the evil ghost who was close at hand.

The talisman burned and turned into two green lightnings that crackled and flashed wildly. However, when the evil spirit's ghostly energy swayed outward, all the talismans were easily annihilated.

"how so?"

The pupils of the tall, thin Xuanxin Sect disciple whose mouth was gagged by the evil spirit shrank instantly, and he was filled with horror, and the expression on his face became extremely frightening.

Because, from the evil ghost's mouth, there was saliva that was as cold as ice.

Naturally, he struggled wildly, but he couldn't break free even a bit. The evil ghost's hands were like a pair of iron pliers, motionless, and his mouth seemed to be growing together with his.

He had a lump in his throat, but he gasped uncontrollably, so he could only swallow the thick, sticky, indescribable liquid.
