The sky gradually darkened, and just after the sun set, the convoy arrived in front of a bamboo forest next to the main road. There was a road several meters wide extending into the bamboo forest, and a small village was vaguely visible not far away, not far from the main road.
Less than a hundred meters.
The village is very small, with only about a dozen households. There are scattered lights from a distance, but no one can be seen.
Shopkeeper Li took one look and said to the leading escort:
"Headguard Lu, let's stay in this village for the night."
The bearded escort named Lu stared at the small village for a long time. He felt a little bad in his heart for some reason. He hesitated and said:
"I think the village is too small to accommodate so many of us, so we should build a camp next to the road."
Shopkeeper Li thought for a moment and agreed, then turned around and loudly ordered the convoy to turn around and enter the bamboo forest.
Ye Chen got off the bullock cart, looked at the small village with narrowed eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
In other people's eyes, this is just a normal small village, but in his eyes, it is a cemetery, and the small houses are graves. Yin energy gathers over the cemetery and floats, slowly towards them.
Come floating.
This yin energy cannot be seen by ordinary people. Only ascetics can see it after opening their spiritual eyes. However, if they are the kind of warriors with strong qi and blood, they can vaguely feel it. The road guard is a warrior and has sufficient qi and blood, so he can vaguely feel it.
It's wrong to go to a small village, but I don't know what's going on.
The Yin Qi floated and enveloped the bamboo forest. Everyone did not notice it and just continued to build the camp. However, unknowingly, some people slowly put down their hands and walked towards the small village. No one noticed anything unusual except Ye Chen, who deliberately looked like he was being attacked.
As if confused, I walked towards the small village unconsciously.
Walking into the cemetery, ghost figures floated out from the grave bags, and they took out skulls filled with squirming earthworms, centipedes and other poisons and handed them to the confused clerk.
In the eyes of these deluded people, they were introduced into the village by hospitable villagers and presented with various delicacies. A young waiter saw a beautiful young woman handing him a bowl of noodles and touching him with her smooth and slender hands.
hand and said softly:
"Brother, hurry up and have some breakfast!"
The woman's suggestive words and actions excited him so much that he picked up a handful of noodles with his chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth.
But suddenly a stone hit his hand, and the severe pain caused him to loosen his grip and drop the bowl and chopsticks to the ground. He turned around and saw Ye Chen, and said angrily:
"You little Taoist priest has a good heart. Do you feel jealous when you see that I like a beautiful woman?"
Ye Chen smiled, curled his fingers, and a clear light flashed, pointing at him and saying with a smile:
"Look at your beauty again!"
The clerk turned his head subconsciously, but saw that the beautiful young woman in front of him was gone, replaced by a female ghost with a rotten face. He screamed in fright, jumped back and fell to the ground, and saw a half-skull on the ground.
There was a group of wriggling earthworms drilling in and out of the skull's eye sockets and nostrils. Thinking that this was what he wanted to eat noodles, he immediately vomited.
While vomiting, he crawled towards Ye Chen on his hands and feet, crying with tears and runny nose:
"Taoist Master, save me!"
When the evil ghost realized that he had been exposed, he stared at Ye Chen with rotten pupils and said viciously:
"Little Taoist priest, please don't meddle in other people's business, otherwise your life will be at risk."
Ye Chen stood tall with his hands behind his back and laughed:
"Our duty is to subjugate and eliminate demons. There is no reason to ignore ghosts when they see them harming people. Even if we see them today, we won't be able to survive even if we wait for one."
This evil spirit raised its head and screamed:
"You are asking for death!"
When the surrounding evil spirits heard the screams, they all suddenly showed their true colors. The caravan guys or escorts who were confused by them suddenly changed before their eyes, and fell from heaven to hell in an instant, especially an eager escort who had already taken off his clothes.
Something was exposed from his pants, and when he saw the beauty in front of him suddenly turned into a ferocious evil ghost, the something instantly softened and shrank into a little bit.
More than a dozen evil ghosts surrounded Ye Chen from all directions. He snorted softly, and suddenly milky-white magical flames spurted out from his body, turning into a layer of white armor to protect his body. As soon as the evil ghost touched his body, his whole body smoked and screamed.
.
He stretched out his hand and the talisman held between two fingers burned into a golden light and flew out, passing through an evil ghost's chest. A trace of pure yang magic flame in the golden light met the yin energy like fire meeting grease. It burned instantly and turned the evil ghost into a ball.
Fire, burn to ashes.
These ghosts are very weak in strength, the strongest ones are only at the level of evil ghosts, and the weak ones are only Yin ghosts. If they can't withstand the burning of his pure Yang mana, most of them will die quickly.
Just as he offered a fire talisman to wrap up two ghosts at the same time, a scream suddenly came from the innermost part of the cemetery:
"stop!"
A stream of Qing Ling containing strong Yin Qi flew out and hit him.
"The real master finally came out!"
Ye Chen clapped his hands, and a large ball of flames exploded, burning the two demons into ashes. He raised his head and let Qing Ling fly around and wrap it around him, feeling like a popsicle wrapping around him.
At this time, the master of Qing Ling appeared. She was a beautiful female ghost in a blue skirt. The yin energy of this female ghost was quite condensed, and her aura was not inferior to that of the female ghost encountered in Qingshan Town, but it was stronger than that of the female ghost.
She is much prettier, and her face is still as normal under his spiritual eyes, unlike his evil ghosts who are extremely ugly before his spiritual eyes.
The female ghost in green appeared and waved her hand without saying a word. The green silk that tied Ye Chen shook, and the Yin Qi surged like a tide, contracting rapidly as if to strangle him to death.
But the next second, pure Yang magic flames burned on Ye Chen's body, and the Qing Ling immediately made a crackling sound. The face of the female ghost in green changed, and she took the Qing Ling back with a trembling hand, only to see that there were scorch marks on it.
The female ghost in green stared at Ye Chen coldly and said:
"Little Taoist, do you know that I belong to my grandma, and if I dare to meddle in my own business, I will die quickly."
He spread his hands and said:
"I don't care about grandma, you were the one who hurt me first."
The female ghost in green frowned slightly. Although she was a female ghost, to be honest, she was very beautiful. She said in surprise:
"Where did you come from, little Taoist priest, and you don't even know who your grandma is?"
"Why should I know who grandma is? Is she so powerful?"
The female ghost was stunned for a moment and said:
"Grandma is the master of Lanruo Temple. This Jinhua City is famous far and wide within a hundred miles of Jinhua City. You are a little Taoist priest who has some abilities, but you are still far behind grandma. If you don't want to die, you'd better leave early, otherwise you won't wait until grandma knows that you want to escape the capital.
late."
"Lanruo Temple?"
Ye Chen was very surprised to hear this familiar place name from the female ghost in green.
"Jinhua City, Lanruo Temple, grandma, Xiaoqing, the female ghost in green, could this be the world of Liaozhai?"
After surprise, he was delighted. He looked at the female ghost in green with gleaming eyes and asked:
"Is the grandma you are talking about a thousand-year-old tree demon?"
The female ghost in green looked at him like a fool and said:
"Who told you that grandma is a thousand-year-old tree demon? Who doesn't know that grandma is a disciple of the Ghost King of Black Mountain in the City of Death? You don't even know this and dare to meddle in other people's business. Are you tired of living?"
