"That Taoist priest just now was invited by you, right?"
Qin Yao and his men had just entered the courtyard when a cold voice came from the black hole-like room.
Qin Yao said lightly: "No."
"You lied!" Liang Xiaoyan shouted.
Qin Yao looked calm: "The Taoist priest was invited by the landlord outside. Even the three of us were invited by the landlord."
Liang Xiaoyan paused slightly and said, "In other words, you are also here to conquer me?"
"It used to be, but it's not anymore."
Qin Yao said: "Because the landlord also invited the smelly Taoist priest when he invited us, so we gave up on this task."
"Since you gave up the mission, why did you come in?" Liang Xiaoyan was puzzled.
"Because we want to recruit the Taoist priest, and we need your help." Qin Yao said sincerely.
"Why should I help you?"
"He came to trouble you, but in the end he left unscathed. Are you willing to do that?"
Liang Xiaoyan sneered: "Bewitching me? It's useless. No matter what, I will not leave this courtyard."
Qin Yao fell silent and carefully recalled the plot of the original work. In his impression, this female ghost had a strong gambling habit, and even the final battle was about gambling with her life...
"Ms. Liang, how about a gamble?"
Liang Xiaoyan: “…”
She knew very well that the other party most likely had no good intentions, but the endless desire surging in her heart made her unable to refuse.
"What to bet on?"
Not long after, she asked quietly whether she could not control her gambling nature.
Qin Yao pondered for a moment and said: "Let's bet on whether we can kill that Taoist together. If we finally kill him, you win. If we don't, you lose!"
"Do you hate him so much?" Liang Xiaoyan said in shock.
Qin Yao waved his hand: "Don't get me wrong, I don't hate him, and there is no personal grudge between the two of us. It's just that this man is inhumane, leads people to their deaths, and is suspected of breeding zombies to harm others. He is actually a gangster and bully. If someone gets it, kill him!"
"It's not suspicious!"
Liang Xiaoyan said: "If my prediction is correct, this person should have used the corpse refining technique on himself, thereby gaining great strength and tenacious life.
This kind of evil power usually has serious side effects, and he probably suppressed all the side effects with a steady stream of yang energy.
Of course, having said that, if he can maintain his current state and continue to improve, he may become a corpse immortal in the future."
Qin Yao: "This can explain his relationship with the Yizhuang zombie. The three of us traced him following the Yizhuang zombie case."
Liang Xiaoyan was not interested in the 'Yizhuang Zombie Case' at all. She floated out of the haunted house and looked at Qin Yao with interest: "Let's talk about the bet. If the bet can't attract me, then no matter how much I like gambling, I won't Bet against you."
Qin Yao pointed at the entire courtyard: "If you win, how about giving this courtyard to you?"
Liang Xiaoyan pondered for a moment, shook her head and said: "Attractive, but only a little."
Qin Yao: "All the spoils of war belong to you."
"The attraction is a little stronger, but it's still not enough to make me take the risk." Liang Xiaoyan said.
Qin Yao's face darkened and he said coldly and solemnly: "What else do you want?"
Liang Xiaoyan thought for a while and smiled: "Let's play a game with me first..."
Qin Yao decisively refused: "I won't play! The bet is what I just said. If you think it's suitable, you can agree to it. If you think it's inappropriate, just reject it. In the worst case, I'll choose someone to take over. It doesn't necessarily have to be you!"
In fact, if he hadn't had the idea of luring this female ghost out of the haunted house and catching them all, he wouldn't have bothered to spare such a large circle.
After all, when Uncle Qi fought with him just now, they were watching from this yard. They knew that it was not difficult for them to deal with the rigid Uncle Qi, at least it was much easier than dealing with this female ghost.
Lure the snake out of its hole and stab the back like crazy. Solving these two problems at once is the most cost-effective option!
…
Negotiations are often extremely flexible, just like a spring. If you are weak, the other side will be strong; if you are strong, the other side will be weak.
If Qin Yao retreats again and again, Liang Xiaoyan will still feel that she has lost money, but when he expresses his love for gambling and refuses to gamble, Liang Xiaoyan thinks that she has touched the other party's bottom line, and begins to formalize the bet offered by the other party.
At this time, some changes occurred in the mentality unconsciously, and the resistance gradually collapsed and dissipated...
"If I lose, what will I have to pay?" Liang Xiaoyan finally confirmed.
"If you lose, come back with me and prepare for the second hunt." Qin Yao said seriously: "The devil who raises corpses to harm people and kills people for cultivation must be severely punished."
"I didn't expect you have such a strong sense of justice." Liang Xiaoyan clicked her tongue in surprise.
Qin Yao raised his head and said, "I am a good person."
Liang Xiaoyan: “…”
So the question is, will good people say that I am a good person?
at the same time.
The night is hazy.
A man wearing a Taoist robe and holding a wooden sword, with a cold air all over his body, pushed open the door of the apartment No. 17 on Tianxiang Temple Street and went straight to the door numbered No. 13.
"Crack."
Taking out the key and unlocking the door, he strode to the altar with two burning sticks of white wax.
On the altar covered with a white tablecloth, there was a field of white flowers. The flowers were round and surrounded a three-foot-long white sarcophagus. The light of candles illuminated this small area, but it added a bit of eerie atmosphere out of thin air. .
Uncle Qi conveniently placed the wooden sword on the table beside him, took out three sticks of incense, lit it, inserted it into the incense burner in front of the flowers, and called softly: "Zombie Ancestor."
The cigarette floated onto the sarcophagus, and the coffin trembled slightly, and then a hoarse voice sounded from inside: "You are injured..."
"yes."
Uncle Qi exhaled a breath and said: "I was injured by a female ghost..."
"Do you need me to help you get rid of her?" the sarcophagus corpse ancestor asked.
Uncle Qi shook his head and said: "No, my disciple is waking you up this time to take you out of here."
"Leave?" Corpse Ancestor was surprised.
"I felt uneasy and had obvious heart palpitations."
Uncle Qi said solemnly: "I suspect that I have become the target of some people. This ritual to eliminate ghosts is just a test. If I don't leave quickly, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."
Corpse Ancestor: "Then run away quickly. Saving your life is the first priority at all times."
Uncle Qi nodded, picked up the sarcophagus, put it on his shoulders, and quickly walked out of the room.
"This is it." When the cold light fell from the sky, Aru and Ayou led a group of gods and ghosts to the apartment. Aru pointed to the door of the apartment and said: "Uncle Qi lives in this apartment. In Room 13, you go find him yourself, and we won’t hold you back."
Qin Yao nodded slightly and took the lead in walking into the apartment building with large cracks in the wall, walking through the quiet and deep corridor until he reached the door number 13.
To his surprise, the door was ajar, and opened with a slight push, and a rich aroma of burning oil suddenly spread across the door.
"Uncle Seven..."
Qin Yao drew out the sword that was carried on his back and slowly stepped into the room.
The room was completely silent, except for the light of the white candle swaying.
"There is no one in the house. It seems that he came back to get something and ran away, otherwise he wouldn't have even closed the door." Liang Xiaoyan said.
Qin Yao looked sideways at Zhang Ling: "Is there any way to track his location?"
Zhang Ling looked around the room, walked to the desk, reached out and picked up Uncle Qi's peach wood sword, slowly closed his eyes, and counted with his fingers.
Suddenly, her eyes widened with surprise on her face.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yao asked.
"No such person found!"
Zhang Lingdao: "In my deduction, there is no trace of this person's existence in the world."
"What could be the reason for this?" Qin Yao asked again.
Zhang Ling: "If the other party's cultivation level in Tianji is higher than mine, this situation is very likely to happen. In addition, the other reason I can think of is that a strong person intervened and hid his fate."
"This guy is not a simple person..." Qin Yao sighed.
"Don't worry about him. I just want to know now, should you win this bet or should I win?" Liang Xiaoyan, with green eyes, asked quietly in the dim room.
Qin Yao glanced at her, took out the magic spirit bead from his pocket, and said softly: "Come out, red and white evil spirits."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Seeing the red and white ghosts that suddenly filled the room, Liang Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment and said in amazement: "What does this mean?"
"Catch her." Qin Yao said indifferently.
Dozens of evil ghosts, led by their respective leaders, pounced on the female ghost and submerged her like a flood in the blink of an eye.
Without the "combat power amplifier" of the haunted house, the female ghost would only be a top-notch ghost, far behind the peerless twin evil spirits.
"Why do you do this to me?"
Soon after, the female ghost, whose body was tightly bound by red and white spiritual ropes, struggled desperately and screamed crazily at Qin Yao.
Qin Yao looked directly into the other person's eyes with a calm gaze, and said calmly: "Let me introduce myself formally, I, Qin Yao, am currently the Yeyoushen, the Evil Punisher of Fengdu. Do you have any questions?"
Liang Xiaoyan: “…”
Although she has never been to the underworld, she still knows that the commander of the Punishment Department is Zhong Kui.
And what is the most talked-about thing about Zhong Kui?
Ghost hunting!
The priests under Zhong Kui hunt ghosts in the world. This is a reason in itself, and it is also an answer!
Qin Yao took out the demon spirit bead, took in the female ghost and the red and white demons, and turned to look in the direction of Huo Zhu: "What a pity..."
Based on the battle between Uncle Qi and the female ghost, Qin Yao originally thought that the female ghost would be more difficult to deal with, so he let Uncle Qi go and lured out the female ghost, hoping to catch them all.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Qi was so vigilant that he packed up his things and ran away. This is very similar to those fateful protagonists in cultivation novels...
Thinking of this, Qin Yao suddenly realized that if Uncle Qi had not lied to him at the beginning, then all the adventures in the ruined temple were true, and the other party really seemed to have taken the protagonist's script.
After all, in his previous life, there was a long time when the old man's cultivation of immortality became a trend of Internet articles!
"How's it going? Is it solved?"
On the eve of dawn, the couple, who were stamping their feet in the cold wind, saw the people walking out of the apartment and immediately greeted them with expectant faces.
"The female ghost has been solved." Qin Yao said.
"That's good, that's good."
A'ru breathed a sigh of relief and just patted his chest twice when he suddenly realized: "Wait a minute, where is Uncle Qi?"
"Uncle Seven ran away." Qin Yao shrugged and said, "That's why we didn't see him at all."
Aru's expression changed and he stammered: "He, he, won't come back to us again, will he?"
"Probably not." Qin Yao said lightly.
He was worried about the couple's face, so he didn't say that you were unworthy.
"Don't do it. How can we make sure he won't come to us?" Aru said hurriedly, confused.
Qin Yao: "Haven't you noticed that all the people who get into trouble are basically bad gamblers? As long as you two don't go to casinos anymore, stop thinking about getting rich overnight, and live your own lives peacefully, you won't
Encounter such a bizarre thing again."
The couple looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't dare to agree.
Gambling has unknowingly penetrated into the depths of their souls and become the biggest addiction in their lives. It is even more uncomfortable for them to say goodbye to the casino than to kill them.
Qin Yao also knew what it means to have an unchangeable nature, so he didn't say anything more and asked instead: "Is there a Ksitigarbha temple nearby?"
He remembered that there were still good things in "A Good Life", such as the robes enshrined in Ksitigarbha Temple.
As long as you wear this robe, even if you sing or dance in front of ghosts, they won't be able to see you. The effect is extraordinary...
If I could get my hands on this robe, wouldn't it be of endless use in the underworld?
early morning.
The sun shines on the earth.
Inside the Ksitigarbha Temple.
Qin Yao held a pile of cassocks in his arms and smiled brightly.
The old monk opposite held a stack of banknotes in his hand and looked charitable.
Of these two people, one did not expect that cassocks would be sold so cheaply, and the other did not expect that people would actually spend money to buy cassocks...
For a while, both parties enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
"Donor, besides the cassock, see if there is anything else you like. As long as the price is right, everything can be discussed." The old monk said sincerely as he stuffed the banknote into his pocket with a smile.
Qin Yao laughed: "No more for now, thank you, master."
He is rich, but he is not stupid.
He had confirmed when he came here that even the red and white demons could not see these robes, so he was willing to spend money to buy them.
And other Buddhist items, even if they have been tainted with a trace of Buddha nature over time, are not attractive to him as a Taoist priest...
"Mr. Qin, can I ask, what is the function of this temple robe?" Aru couldn't help but ask after leaving Ksitigarbha Temple.
"It can cover ghost eyes."
Qin Yao said: "To put it simply, after wearing this kind of robe, ghosts and monsters will not be able to see you."
"Wouldn't that be great?" Ayou said subconsciously.
"What's so cool? What else are you thinking about?" Aru asked suspiciously.
Ayou chuckled and put his arm around her shoulders: "I mean it feels good to escape."
Qin Yao was not in the mood to listen to the couple bickering, so he waved his hands and said: "You two will argue slowly, and we will leave first. We will go shopping in Jinling City today and check out early tomorrow morning."
The couple nodded and looked at each other after watching them leave.
"I know there is a Maitreya Temple."
"I know there is a Guanyin Temple."
The two said in unison.
On the other side, on the street.
Qin Yao put the pile of robes he bought into the space bag and said in a solemn voice: "Tomorrow morning, we will go directly to the northeast."
"ah?"
Zhang Ling was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment: "Shouldn't it be Beiping?"
"Beiping is the imperial capital, there is no need to lay hidden stakes." Qin Yao thought of the prosperous China of later generations and smiled slightly: "In other words, we don't need to worry about the affairs of the imperial capital."
Zhang Ling was stunned.
They are not the only practitioners in China. The imperial capital gathers Chinese power, and some are guarded by monks.
"I heard that the horse fairy from the Northeast is very powerful. I must try it when I go there this time..."
