It was still the small courtyard, and the walls were still covered with torches, illuminating the small courtyard with a bright light.
At this moment, in the courtyard, a middle-aged Taoist in his forties was standing with his hands behind his back. The courtyard door was tightly closed, and there was no one nearby. So the middle-aged Taoist finally no longer had to pretend, and there was a trace of pride on his face.
, and the joy of impending success.
The middle-aged Taoist's name is Xu Gui. Gui Gui has just turned forty this year. If you look at his appearance alone, even if he is not handsome, people will not think of him as a bad person at a glance. But in fact, he is looking for money.
He has done a lot of things like killing people and oppressing good people.
Even the female ghost he is raising now is a member of the family who brutally killed the woman, then tortured the woman to death, and the resentment broke out. She was then enslaved by him using ghost control methods and became his accomplice.
Moreover, Xu Gui had done this kind of thing at least three or five times, but he only succeeded once. This time he was passing by a small town, and by chance he discovered that there was a pure Yin energy lingering in the backyard of this house, so he quietly commanded the woman
The ghost came in to check the situation.
When he saw Nian Nuer, he was immediately overjoyed. A ghost like Nian Nuer who did not lose his sanity was a rare thing to see and had a strong ability to grow. It would not be impossible for him to evolve into a ghost king in the future.
And a ghost king, even if it is not enough for him to dominate the human world, can still become a supreme master. When the time comes, whether it is power, wealth, or beauty, he will be able to take it any way he wants, and he may not even care about the laws of the world.
, do whatever you want.
Xu Gui was originally a scholar. He had great ambitions but did not work hard. He always thought about taking advantage of opportunities. It was not until he failed many times that he came to regret. However, his so-called repentance did not mean that he would sink his mind and study hard on articles, but that he would spend his family wealth on it.
After all the money was gone, he exchanged it for a scroll of Taoism from a wandering Taoist priest.
That Taoist teaching was about the art of controlling ghosts. Strangely enough, he had no achievements in reading and learning, but he was actually a genius in cultivation. In just a few years, he had thoroughly understood the Taoist method and learned how to control ghosts.
The technique is also becoming more and more proficient.
However, although he learned Taoism, his nature did not change. Instead of doing good deeds, he began to think about how to harm others. Moreover, using this method, his wealth accumulated more and more. Finally, he began to no longer do good deeds.
Satisfied, he began to think about becoming a more powerful ghost.
That's why we have this female ghost next to us. Unfortunately, although this female ghost is powerful, her mind collapsed because she was tortured too much by him. She only has the simplest consciousness, and even her growth space is very limited. Until he discovered the idea of mind.
Slave.
At that time, he swore that no matter what method he used, he would definitely get Nian Nuer. This kind of madness even made him willing to destroy everything, even the entire Su family.
It's just that the Su family is a powerful family with many servants and bodyguards. It would be difficult to wipe out the entire Su family, and accidents would easily occur. Therefore, after several failed attempts to capture the female ghost, he finally began to plot against the Su family.
Facts have proved that his calculation was very successful. Although it wasted some time, as long as it can succeed, it will be worth it.
At first, he did not jump out, mainly because he was afraid of making the Su family suspicious. His original plan was to wait for the Su family to be helpless before coming as a savior, but unexpectedly, before he could jump out, he suddenly
A Mu Yi appeared, and this Mu Yi was not an ordinary Taoist priest who was bluffing and cheating, but rather had some real ability.
This can be seen from the fact that most of the Yin Qi in the old lady of the Su family has been eliminated.
After realizing this, Xu Gui was also startled, and even felt a little lucky in his heart. Fortunately, Mu Yi was not very capable, otherwise he might really have ruined his good deeds.
However, he also found out the details of Mu Yi from Zheng Zicong and knew that Mu Yi was young and lived on Funiu Mountain.
After knowing this, Xu Gui had an idea in his mind. He only exchanged a roll of Taoism from the wandering Taoist priest, but with this roll of Taoism, he got to where he is today. He wanted to continue practicing, but he couldn't
There was no suitable method of cultivation, and he had been searching for it for so many years, but he never caught his eye.
And that Mu Yi was already so powerful at such a young age, so he must have profound Taoist knowledge, and he might even have treasures. This was undoubtedly what he wanted, so he decided to go find Mu Yi after catching Nian Nuer.
Yi, and then forced him to learn the Taoist method.
The more Xu Gui thought about it, the bigger the smile on his face became. If it weren't for the wrong place, he might have laughed out loud.
Because he was so happy at the moment, and even had an unprecedented excitement. That excitement was stronger than the first time he visited a brothel, much more intense than the first time he killed someone, and the first time he fought ghosts.
.
Behind Xu Gui, an illusory figure stood in the sky. Her appearance could be vaguely seen. Although she was not as good as Su Yingying, she still looked pretty and pleasant. She was dressed in white and had long hair, but her face was
His expression was dull and motionless.
For a long time, Xu Gui put away the excitement on his face and turned his gaze to the bamboo forest in front of him. Because of his ghost control skills, he was more sensitive to ghosts and Yin Qi. In the entire yard, this bamboo forest was the only one with the most Yin Qi.
Heavy.
And he could tell at a glance that this bamboo forest was not simple. At this time of year, the bamboos could still grow so green, which was obviously abnormal. Even these bamboos were not ordinary bamboos, but a kind of cold bamboo, which could also be called Yin bamboo.
bamboo.
"Come out, how long do you think you can hide?" Xu Gui looked at the bamboo forest and said loudly.
However, after he finished speaking, in addition to the crackling sound of the burning torches around him, there was only the swishing sound of the bamboo leaves shaking, intertwining with each other.
"Hmph, do you think you can escape by hiding?" Seeing this, Xu Gui snorted coldly, and then commanded without looking back: "Go in and force her out."
After Xu Gui finished speaking, the female ghost standing behind him suddenly moved, like a phantom, flashing away and entering the bamboo forest.
Afterwards, the Yin Qi in the bamboo forest was stirred up, and then there were violent fluctuations, but Xu Gui always stood calmly. Although he was extremely eager for Nian Nuer, he would not take risks easily.
It is said to be cautious, but in fact it is also a sign of fear of death.
And even if the female ghost is no match for Nian Nuer and the big ghost, there is still no problem in forcing them out.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, a phantom jumped out of the bamboo forest, followed by two more shadows, it was Nian Nuer and her mother.
Xu Gui's eyes shone brightly, and his hands grasped together unconsciously. (To be continued)
