I didn't notice it before, but when I got closer, I immediately noticed something unusual.
"The seal is gone?"
I quickly opened the door and went in. The place that should have been filled with Yin Qi was very light and empty, with not even a single person anywhere.
"Damn, where is James?"
Furious, he turned around and came out to find the old priest, but he had been dead for a long time.
Roar.
The furious roar instantly shattered the newly installed glass.
Many residents around the church heard it, but there were so many missing people in the town these days, and strange noises appeared frequently in the church that no one dared to come out to check.
Hula.
Countless bats swarmed out and flew towards the west.
After the old priest's body was discovered the next day, there was naturally some turmoil.
Let’s go back to Xu Rui and Lin Fengjiao.
With General Zuo on his behalf, it only took half a day to arrive at Baishui Town.
Compared with Jiuquan Town, which has prosperous commerce and a prosperous population, Baishui Town is not inferior at all. Although it is not as advantageous as Jiuquan, it is indeed a commercial thoroughfare.
In order to avoid the highly exploitative banknote tax card hundreds of miles away, many small and medium-sized businessmen choose to take a detour through Baishui Town.
As time goes by, this place becomes more and more prosperous.
There is no shortage of teahouses, restaurants, inns and brothels in the town.
"Brother Dao, look."
Lin Fengjiao looked in the direction of his finger, and a building that looked like a church came into view from a distance.
"Let's go and have a look."
The two of them walked away.
As I got closer, I realized that this was indeed a church, and it was much larger than the one in Jiuquan Town.
Except for the main building in the middle.
There are two annex buildings with a height of four meters next to it.
The whole body is built with bluestone, which is extremely solid.
However, except for the two auxiliary buildings which are still intact, the main building seems to have been damaged by fire.
The walls were blackened, and except for the stone walls which were intact, the roof was completely burned out.
The two walked inside and walked around, but found nothing strange.
Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them found an inn to stay.
After ordering some food and drinks, we took them to the room and chatted while eating.
"Baishui Town is so big, if you search aimlessly, it will be difficult to gain anything," Xu Rui said.
Lin Fengjiao nodded and said: "So much time has passed, and some clues have long been broken. And whether the vampire's body is still there is another question."
Xu Rui nodded. Although he judged that the vampire who was killed was the big boss in the movie "One Eyebrow Taoist Master", he was not sure whether it was or not.
"Let's take a look outside the town tomorrow."
"That's all we can do for now." Lin Fengjiao said.
After finishing the meal and sending Lin Fengjiao out, Xu Rui sat cross-legged on the bed, looking thoughtful.
After a while, he took out the magic bean from the spiritual cage and had a flash of inspiration.
Li Xiaohong appeared in front of her.
"master."
Take out the Hundred Soul Banner and pass it over.
"Take my magical weapon and go around the town to see if you can catch a few ghosts."
"As commanded."
Li Xiaohong turned and left.
Ghosts can cultivate and have abilities that ordinary people do not have. Especially those ghosts who have practiced for many years may be able to know some clues about the vampire.
Of course, after practicing for a long time, it may be difficult to deal with it.
This is also the reason why he gave the Hundred Soul Banner to Li Xiaohong.
Paired with her soul-catching bell, she can protect herself even if she encounters the evil ghosts in the late stage of foundation building.
Time passed little by little, and Li Xiaohong left and returned.
The aura was floating, and it was obvious that he had experienced a great battle.
Present the Hundred Souls Banner.
"Master, I'm lucky to have fulfilled my destiny and captured a fierce ghost and a spirit."
"That's right, let's go back and rest."
Li Xiaohong turned into a magic bean again and flew into the spiritual cage.
Divine consciousness invaded the Hundred Soul Banner, and in addition to the dozens of souls collected earlier, there was also a ferocious-looking old ghost, and a woman wearing red clothes with a weak breath.
The two people have completely different breaths.
The old ghost was full of ghostly energy and full of resentment. He was already a powerful ghost in the middle stage of foundation building. But the woman in red had a stream of green flowers blooming from her head. She was obviously a spirit made of vegetation.
With a thought in his heart, two puppet seals flew into the bodies of the two ghosts.
The power of Lingbao Puppetry directly distorted their will.
As soon as the spiritual flag shook, the two ghosts rolled to the ground.
"See you, sir."
"Get up."
"Thank you, sir."
"What are your names?"
"The little old man is called Wang Laosi. He hanged himself to death and has been a ghost for thirty-one years."
"The little girl Ye Suo is the spirit of a century-old banana plant in the banana forest east of the town. She has never killed anyone else."
Xu Rui couldn't deny it.
"How many years have you been awakened?"
"It's been ten years." Ye Suo said quickly.
"You have been practicing for many years, but do you know why the church in the west of the town was abandoned?"
Ye Suo shook his head.
She is the spirit of banana tree achievement and will never leave her roots easily.
"Young man, you know a little bit about it."
"explain."
"About nine years ago, the foreign monks in the church started making trouble among themselves. Two of them fought each other, and many people died. I took pity on several foreign women. They were quite handsome, but it was a pity that the two foreign monks did not understand the style.
Monk, I don’t know what kind of vampire they are, but they were beaten to death. It’s really a waste of natural resources. It’s okay to leave one of them to warm my feet..."
Xu Rui twitched the corner of his mouth, but he was still a talkative person.
"To tell the important point, what happened to those foreign monks in the end?"
"have no idea."
Xu Rui became so angry that he barely managed to slap the old bastard to death.
Seeing that he was really angry, Wang Laosi quickly explained.
"Those foreign monks were so powerful that I didn't dare to get close. I finally watched them go north."
"Didn't you catch up and take a look?"
"No no."
Xu Rui waved the Hundred Soul Banner and took the two of them in, and at the same time dispersed the puppet marks in their bodies.
There are only a few puppets that he can afford, and unnecessary puppets are basically taken back after they are used up.
"North. Finally there is a direction."
Early the next morning, the two of them had breakfast.
"Brother Dao, let's look north."
"North?"
"I caught a local old man last night. According to what he said, a few foreign monks fought with each other ten years ago and ended up in the mountains to the north. Moreover, those foreign monks mentioned the word 'blood clan', which should be what we wanted.
Looking for a monster."
Lin Fengjiao's eyes lit up.
"Fellow Taoist is still very thoughtful. In this way, it can save us a lot of effort."
"It's just a little trick, let's go."
Lin Fengjiao nodded, the two of them packed up, turned and walked towards the north of Baishui Town.
After passing through large areas of farmland, the terrain becomes rugged.
Soon, a mountain stream twenty meters wide appeared not far away.
A somewhat rotten vine bridge spans the mountain stream and connects the two sides.
The mountain wind is howling, the dead trees are withering, and the gloom is thick.
"What a wonderful place in Shanyin."
Lin Fengjiao looked at it for a while and then said.
Xu Rui walked to the edge of the mountain stream and looked down. The sides were steep and straight, and the ravine up to a hundred meters deep was filled with rugged rocks.
If he really fell, he would just die.
I remember that in the movie "One Eyebrow", the female vampire fell here.
He fell directly to death.
"Fellow Taoist, go to the other side and have a look."
Xu Rui nodded, and the two crossed the vine bridge to the opposite side.
There are broken walls and ruins everywhere, and it can be vaguely seen that this place was once a magnificent temple, covering an area of at least ten acres.
But I don’t know why it’s in a state of disrepair.
After moving to the back of the temple, the two of them frowned at the same time.
A half-rotten corpse appeared in front of him. Judging from his clothing, he was a skinny old man.
Xu Rui patted the magic bag and threw out a fire talisman.
The flames ignited and engulfed the body.
Soon they encountered more corpses and bones. It was obvious that the people of Whitewater Town had treated this place as a mass grave.
"Brother Dao, continuing to search like this is not the way to go."
Lin Fengjiao also frowned.
Although the direction was determined, the north of Baishui Town was still too big for them.
"It's a pity that we don't have any skin, flesh, essence and blood from that vampire, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome." Lin Fengjiao said helplessly.
Why doesn't Xu Rui think so?
He also knows the technique of 'Flying Crane Search'. As long as he has a little bit of skin, flesh, essence and blood, he can find the other party within a hundred miles.
But ten years later, there was no hair left in the church that suffered a fire.
They also went to see the zombie-infested room in the movie "One Eyebrow".
Except for an empty sarcophagus, no bats were seen at all.
"Brother Dao, why don't we come back tonight?"
"night?"
"There are dozens of ghosts in my Hundred Soul Banner. They have the ability to pass through walls and enter the earth. We should search this place carefully at night. Maybe we can find some clues."
Lin Fengjiao had watched Xu Rui use the Hundred Soul Banner to remove the souls from the corpses, and now she also realized it.
"Just follow what fellow Taoist said."
Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the inn, he didn't hear the footsteps coming up behind him.
He turned around in surprise.
Xu Rui smiled.
"Brother Taoist, I also want to practice a spell that I can use at night."
"Right here?"
"Right here."
He nodded affirmatively.
In the cultivation world, it is very impolite to watch other people practicing, Lin Fengjiao nodded and said consciously.
"Then I'll come back tonight."
"That's fine."
Lin Fengjiao turned and left.
Not long after, General Zuo came galloping in.
When he got close, he rolled to the ground and turned into a human form.
"master."
"Is there any harvest?"
"I walked around Whitewater Town, and there were a total of two rivers passing through it."
"Two?"
"Yeah. One originates from behind this mountain, rushes down, surrounds Baishui Town and goes south. The other is located in the mountains to the east of the town, flowing east to west, and the two rivers meet in the south of Baishui Town."
Xu Rui frowned. He vaguely remembered that in the movie "One Eyebrow Taoist Master", the place where the Western zombies last appeared was not far from the river.
Then General Zuo was asked to look for him.
Looking at the mountains behind.
"In the north, not surprisingly, it is the river where the mountain sun is located."
"Master, do you want me to look for you again?"
"No, you stay here and wait for Taoist Lin."
"yes."
Xu Rui activated the Ape Strike Technique and jumped up to the bottom of the mountain.
The place is full of rocks and weeds, mixed with white bones, the yin energy is strong, and poisonous insects are infested. Although it is not a desperate place, it is not a good place either.
