Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 92 There are bad people in the village (Thanks to the "Jieji Taotie" boss for the reward and encouragement)

Under the bright sun, Wei Donghe suddenly noticed that green shoots sprouted from the three-foot branch that had just been planted.

Then a pink, delicate little girl about 10 feet tall, wearing a red coat and a plain white skirt, appeared on the branch and seemed to smile at him.

A chill rushed straight to his forehead, and Wei Donghe, who prided himself on being full of righteousness, took two steps back in fright.

When I looked again, there was no weird little girl on the branch?

If it weren't for the slightly swaying branches, the green buds would be eye-catching.

He definitely suspected that he was being blinded.

Liu Xianfeng became invisible again and had already thrown herself into the hole of an ancient tree a few feet away. This low-level ghost that could sneak during the day was cunning and slippery and deceived her and Yuan Bao twice, making her very angry.

Both Young Master and Lao Shi were watching, it was so embarrassing.

The yellow dog slowed down for three breaths, seemingly without touching the ground, flew more than ten feet in the air and arrived, hitting the crooked neck of the tree trunk with its head.

"Crack", the sharp teeth of the dog's mouth bit out a gap in the ancient tree.

The yellow dog frantically bit into the hole in the tree, as if trying to pull out the ghost that had escaped without a trace.

Liu Xianfeng sat on the dog's back and stroked the dog's fur with her little hands to calm down Yuan Bao's angry mood: "Don't worry, you can't run away from that kid. You have a way to catch the kid."

Xu Yuanchang glanced at Lao Shi, who was running very hard beside him but was actually running effortlessly, and said, "This is a bit strange. What do you think?"

Shi Wangchen smiled and asked, "What's so strange, please tell me first?"

Xu Yuanchang has the deepest research on ghosts. In the "Notes on Mount Qishan", "Collections of Mountain and River Spirits" and "The Sutra of Cave Gods" he collected, the most talked about are all kinds of ghosts. The voice transmission said:
"The first-level ghost can appear and sneak during the day, and it is not slow. It uses the old locust tree to escape from under the noses of Yuanbao and Xianfeng. I suspect that this is a 'house ghost' that is being raised by someone in the village."

Shi Wangchen then asked: "What do you mean, the blood stains that appeared on the trunk of the locust tree several times were caused by humans?"

"That should be the case. There are bad people in the village."

In just a few words, the two of them arrived under the ancient tree.

The yellow dog bit open the hole in the tree and found nothing but tree shavings on the ground. He jumped to the ground, lowering his head and not daring to look at the two of them, like a baby who made a mistake.

Xu Yuanchang looked at Wei Donghe, who was pale and calm, a tough guy, and asked: "Young patriarch, has anyone in the village lost their pigs and sheep these days?"

He is called after Lao Ding and others.

Hearing what happened, Wei Donghe passed his fingers over his forehead and thought: "I haven't heard of anyone losing valuable pigs and sheep. How about I have someone check it out quickly?"

His eyes looked at the solidified blood on the tree trunk.

Xu Yuanchang listened to Liu Xianfeng, who was resting on his shoulder, and quickly conveyed the message and told Wei Donghe what had happened. He smiled and said to Wei Donghe: "There is no need to scare the snake. I sent the yellow dog to go around the village. I suspect that someone is raising ghosts in the village."

So far, it cannot be said.

Lao Ding and others, who had run away, came running here again.

Wei Donghe understood and said: "Please, Taoist Master Xu, conduct a thorough investigation and be sure to catch the lawbreakers."

Xu Yuanchang communicated with Liu Xianfeng via voice transmission, and waved to the yellow dog, "Go ahead."

The low-level ghost was able to escape with the help of the ancient tree by making false noises, but he and Lao Shi did not expect that as long as the person behind the raising of the ghost was dug out, the little ghost would have no choice but to be captured and have nowhere to escape.

The yellow dog carried the invisible little tree charm and ran away with its hooves.

The lost dog face must be recovered from the imp.

Shi Wangchen walked around the ancient tree, patted the trunk, and then took out a yellow paper talisman and stuck it on it to cut off the little devil's escape route through the ancient tree.

Everyone came running back, all asking if they had ever killed the dirty thing that caused the strange thing.

Old Ding dragged the excited and curious young master and pressed the handle of the knife with one hand. He had to ensure the safety of the young master in order to live up to the trust of Fifth Master Wei, so he would not care about abandoning Wei Donghe and running away.

"Don't crowd around Taoist Xu and delay Taoist Xu from doing his business."

Wei Donghe shouted to stop everyone and extended his hand to invite them.

Xu Yuanchang and Lao Shi walked to the village first and found themselves in peace. The two of them talked via voice transmission, and Xu Yuanchang was puzzled. Why did that man repeatedly paint blood on the ancient trees at night to create panic in the villagers?

"Who knows, the guy who raises ghosts, over time, will be affected by the Yin energy ghosts and do some things that go against common sense. It's not surprising."

Shi Wangchen yawned and lazily transmitted the message: "When you catch that person, just knock around and it will become clear. Everything you want to know can be solved, so why waste all your energy on thinking nonsense."

It wasn't a monster causing trouble, he couldn't bring himself to have any energy.

The previous yelling was just for fun, to scare a few mortals.

If he takes action, what will happen to Gouzi?
Xu Yuanchang turned around and called Old Ding, and after asking in a low voice for a while, he learned that no one in Xiahe Village had died unexpectedly in the past year or two, which made him even more puzzled.

Before entering the village, the yellow dog jumped out of the woods, wagging its head and tail, very excited.

Liu Xianfeng landed on the young master's shoulder and sent a message: "I found it. He is an old man who lives alone. He is very sick and sneaky, and he doesn't look like a good person. The yard is full of obvious ghosts. Yuanbao and I are not alone." If you dare to disturb me, I will come back and tell you first."

Xu Yuanchang praised Xiao Shumei for being able to do things and waved his hand to the yellow dog to lead the way.

He was in high spirits, and was about to achieve another meritorious deed. He chatted with Lao Shi without saying a word.

The people following behind guessed that things were going well, and they gradually distanced themselves from Daozhang Xu while whispering to each other.

Everyone is curious, and they are worried that it will affect them when they catch ghosts, and they will be infected with bad luck. Even Wei Donghe, who had suffered a loss once, slowed down a little.

They did not notice that as the yellow dogs entered the village, the local dogs that usually ran around disappeared at some point, and there was no barking in the whole village.

The yellow dog stopped in front of an old courtyard. The brick wall had been repaired many times and was covered with mottled dry moss.

Xu Yuanchang stepped forward and pushed open the ajar door, stepped into the clean and tidy courtyard, and immediately felt the yin energy. He raised his voice and said, "Is the master here?"

There are three masters, Lao Shi, Yuan Bao and Liu Xianfeng.

There is strength in numbers, so he is not worried about suffering a loss.

Wei Donghe stopped at the edge of the yard next door, stretched out his hand to stop the people behind him, and said in a low voice: "It's Wei Mingtao. After Director Xu captures him, let's go over and ask him what happened. Why did he want to harm the village?"

On his way here, someone had already called the nurse over.

Someone cursed in a low voice: "You are a wolf-hearted old man. The villagers think that he is alone, mute, and has inconvenient legs and feet. They have taken care of him, but he dares to..."

Others were angry and yelled in agreement.

But I didn't dare to raise my voice for fear of disturbing the old man next door who was raising ghosts and causing harm to people.

A weird old man with a stooped back, leaning on an old brown cane, wrapped tightly in a brand new black robe, wearing a black pointed hat and a black scarf, shakily walked from the bedroom into the main room, raised his head and looked at the stop. Two people and one dog walking in the yard.

His sunken eyes were exposed outside the black cloth, and the skin on his forehead was withered and pale, as terrifying as a skeleton.

"It's great to find him so quickly."

The strange old man's voice was hoarse and he was out of breath, and he suddenly spoke.

Xu Yuanchang was a little stunned. He heard all the low-pitched curses of the group of people next door. Wasn't the old man in front of him mute?
Now the mute is speaking, his expression is quite calm, and he is not afraid of being exposed at all.

What a strange thing.

Shi Wangchen sent a message: "He has been losing his vitality. The ghost lives in the old man's body and survives with the old man's life essence, blood and longevity... He used to be a monk. Living like this is a miracle and even more painful. Torture.”

Facing the old man who was raising ghosts, Lao Shi unceremoniously used his spiritual consciousness to explore the old man inside and out.

The strange old man struggled to even stand, and said in a low voice: "Please call the young patriarch outside and my nephew Dongman. Before I die, I want to sit down and save some energy."

He turned around and shakily touched the chair and sat down, facing the main door.

Withered and skeletal hands supporting the cane, he closed his eyes and meditated.
