The ruins of Puyun Temple looked extremely desolate in the autumn wind.
Mu Taoist lay in a makeshift shed, drank two mouthfuls of pork soup that still burned his mouth, raised his body and lay down again.
"The ghosts in Longmen Village, Shilipo, are probably water ghosts," Mu Taoist said slowly to everyone: "Water ghosts are those who drowned in the river and never floated. Their bodies withstood the yin energy that grew somewhere in the earth's crust, and they were born.
If you are walking by a river and are seen by a water ghost, it will pull passers-by into the water when it finds an opportunity."
"In other words, that Wang Fu'an died of drowning?" Rong Li asked.
"If he was really killed by a ghost, that's the only possibility." Mu Taoren nodded and said, "Xiaodao went to Longmen Village to perform rituals in the past, but he never found out where the ghost's vagina was. Now that he thinks about it, the ghost's vagina is very close.
It may be in a deep pool somewhere in the river!"
"Since the water ghost is active in the water, how did it eat those pigs and cows?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.
"Water ghosts usually move in the water, but they are not unable to come ashore," Mu Dao said: "Once these evil creatures lack the conditions for survival, they will inevitably come out to eat livestock and humans. They will use the essence and blood of humans and livestock to continue living in the water."
Human lifespan!"
"Then why did the water ghost eat a lot of pigs and cows, but never ate Wang Fuan? Is it full?"
"this?"
Mu Taoist considered a lot of things about water ghosts based on local rumors and the yin energy he was looking for.
It wasn't until Zhang Xuezhou reminded him that he realized the difference between the two.
The former makes the pigs and cows disappear quietly, while the latter leaves their bodies behind. The two have different consequences after being killed.
It is somewhat untenable that a single water ghost can harm people.
"There are indeed traces of the evil spirit over there, maybe there are two ghosts?" Mu Taoist guessed: "One ghost sucked the flesh and blood of livestock, and the other ghost killed Wang Fu'an!
"
"Two?"
Zhang Xuezhou's face turned slightly ugly, and Rong Li and others' scalps went numb.
"Cousin, why don't you go to the Yamen to get ten sticks?" Zhang Xuezhou suggested.
"Cousin, you don't want to trick me like this," Rong Tianding said in frustration, "You gave me the idea of a fairy painting, and now I'm the one getting beaten. Otherwise, I'll confess to you and give each of you five sticks."
"That depends on Mr. Bao being willing to punish me like this," Zhang Xuezhou said, "If you don't get a reduced sentence by confessing me, you will get an additional one level for concealing relevant facts in court, and I will receive ten more canes."
"I can't stand even ten sticks. Twenty sticks will kill me. If that happens, I'd rather fight ghosts," Rong Tianding said worriedly.
"Taoist Priest, there are specialties in martial arts. Since you have experience in killing ghosts, why not teach us a few tricks?"
Zhang Xuezhou looked at Mu Taoist, who was still recovering from his injuries, and felt that even if he gave Mu Taoist a sum of money, the old Taoist would not be able to contribute.
And it is not reliable to go back to the Yamen to get beaten.
Things must be solved eventually, and Zhang Xuezhou wanted to see if Mu Taoist had any solution.
If Rong Li, a butcher, were to lead a group of weak chickens like them to catch ghosts, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would not even be able to see the ghosts. By the time he found out, someone would most likely have died.
"To be honest with Mr. Zhang, Xiaodao is an outer disciple of the Menggui Sect of the Corpse Jiao Sect. He has never entered the inner sect to practice advanced magic. He only learned the superficial magic of raising ghosts with both hands. I used to use hanging ghosts to fight ghosts, but now I hang myself.
The dead ghost is gone, and I am helpless when facing the ghost!"
Bai Ling's technique of raising ghosts is a technique Mu Taoist has practiced all his life, but this technique was instantly destroyed after Zhang Xuezhou imprisoned him.
Mu Taoist still hasn't figured out the key.
He just used the power of a ghost to control Zhang Xuezhou and scare Rong's family, but he didn't expect that he would be the one who was frightened.
Logically speaking, Zhang Xuezhou has the ability to instantly destroy the hanging ghost, so he should have the ability to kill ghosts.
Upon hearing Zhang Xuezhou's request for advice, Taoist Mu immediately waved his hands to shirk him.
"You have to think of something else," Zhang Xuezhou said, "Don't look at me. I'm just related to the Northern Military Region. I'm not as professional as you in catching ghosts!"
Mu Taoist spoke openly and honestly, so Zhang Xuezhou could only tell his background to prevent the other party from thinking wildly.
He is really too weak to fight ghosts.
As for why Mu Taoist cast a spell to backfire on himself, Zhang Xuezhou still hasn't figured out the connection.
In short, Mu Taoren believed that Zhang Xuezhou defeated himself, but Zhang Xuezhou did not know how he defeated the other party.
In their respective eyes, Mu Taoist believed that Zhang Xuezhou was the proud son of a certain holy land, while Zhang Xuezhou knew very well that his abilities were far inferior to Mu Taoist.
He is just a newbie who has just started practicing. No matter how unique he is, he cannot be an opponent of a 'blood-penetrating realm strongman' like Taoist Mu.
This is the only inbound cultivator that Zhang Xuezhou knows and knows in Chengdu. It is impossible for him to find anyone else.
That's why Zhang Xuezhou asked Mu Taoist for help again and again.
"But Xiaodao... Xiaodao is really lacking in skills. By the way, you raise your butt and open the box below. I'll look through the Corpse Manual inside to see if there are any suitable methods for catching water ghosts!"
"oh!"
Mu Taoren pointed to the box where Zhang Xuezhou sat, which made Zhang Xuezhou stand up immediately.
He opened the iron bolt on the box, then rummaged through the pile of clothes, and finally found an animal skin book.
Looking at the extremely scrawled words "Zhi Jiao Booklet" on the animal skin book, Zhang Xuezhou then looked at some of the remaining writings on the ruins of the Taoist temple.
"This is the wonderful technique of catching and controlling ghosts that Xiaodao learned from the brothers and sisters of the sect after painstaking efforts!"
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou's careful gaze, Mr. Mu's face turned red.
"There are so many wonderful skills, why do you only know how to cultivate ghosts?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.
He looked through the corpse book and saw one after another of ghost-catching techniques recorded on the animal skins. The descriptions were much better than Mu Taoist's skills.
"Firstly, the qualifications of the minor Taoists are limited, and secondly... secondly, these techniques are incomplete." Mu Taoren said helplessly: "My senior brothers and sisters have repeatedly asked me to do work, but the techniques they told me were all piecemeal.
Not complete!"
"Then your senior brother and sister are really nice to you!"
Zhang Xuezhou looked through the Book of Corpse Masters and realized that Mu Taoist's early life was not easy, and it was not much different from how he was treated by Li Jiao.
It is naturally difficult to practice the art of hiding and hiding to a high level. Rather than being broad and miscellaneous, it is better to be specialized and precise.
This may also be the reason why Mu Taoist concentrates on raising hanged ghosts.
It's just that Mu Taoist's "spirit" is limited, and the single-minded technique is broken, and the remaining abilities are countless.
Zhang Xuezhou turned over the pages, and Taoist Mu continued to explain the relevant issues.
After turning over more than twenty pages, the two of them saw a technique.
"How about you practice?"
Mu Taoren looked at Zhang Xuezhou.
The entry seeds for practice are different, the applicable techniques are different, and the end points that can be achieved through practice are also different.
However, not to mention the ending point of the spells in the Corpse Book, even the starting point has many imperfections.
In this case, it is not important whether the practice is consistent and whether the practice can be achieved.
If Zhang Xuezhou wants to use another temporary method, Mu Taoren thinks that the other party can practice it.
For some talented people, it is entirely possible to learn an entry-level technique in a short period of time. This chapter has been completed!
