The world of Taoism

Chapter 16 Lingguan (recommended for collection)

Zhou Xuan drove back to Jingtiansi.

The color of Jingtiansi's mansion is dark, and in addition to being located in the suburbs, it looks very cold.

The person driving the carriage is Jing Tiansi's handyman.

The horses driving the carts are not ordinary horses. They have taken Xinxiang medicine since childhood to enhance their strength, and they can also follow the smell of pigeons.

So whenever the pigeons pass the task, the carriage usually follows behind.

Entering the talisman, I saw Uncle Zhang basking in the sun in the yard.

Uncle Zhang lazily opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Boy Zhou is back."

Then he looked at the package behind Zhou Xuan.

Zhang Bo opened the package and looked at Jinsinanmu with a solemn expression.

"Uncle Zhang knows about this?"

"This seems to be a coffin. Judging from the pattern on it, it should be the prince of the previous generation. The coffin of the big man has the most evil spirit. It seems that there is an expert."

.

There is still a trace of flame temperature on the golden nanmu, and the golden thread shines brightly under the sun.

"Is this something you brought back from your mission?" Zhang Bo asked.

"That's right!" Zhou Xuan said.

It seems that Zhang Bo has the same idea as himself, that there is something wrong with the golden nanmu.

"What do you think of this mission?"

Zhou Xuan pondered for a while, and said: "Judging from Jing Tiansi's information, on average, a county only has one or two ghosts to make trouble a year. Perhaps Wannian County, a county with a population of 50, has a higher frequency."

"It's unreasonable for the monsters to riot in Wannian County in the past six months. So far, there have been six or seven incidents. I think there must be a conspiracy behind it, including this mission."

Zhou Xuan said his thoughts, and most of them were caused by ghosts, maybe there is another mystery in it.

"That's right, in fact, I also have this suspicion." Fu Jian's voice sounded from behind.

Zhou Xuan turned his head and saw that Fu Jian was standing next to him at some point, with a red belt tied on his forehead and a bloody smell on his body.

"This is also the reason why the superior sent me here. Too many things have happened in Wannian County in the past six months, which is not in line with common sense."

Fu Jian walked up slowly, patted Zhou Xuan on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Not bad, I can actually kill ghosts independently."

"Congrats!" Zhou Xuan said modestly.

Ordinary ghosts are nothing, but if they were replaced by talisman swords, with a roar of a tiger, the female ghost would probably be driven out of her wits.

"When did you learn spells?" Fu Jian said meaningfully, "I remember that you were always an idiot since you were a child?"

Zhou Xuan thought in his heart, and said:
"Probably from elementary school to adulthood, I practiced drawing talismans since I was a child. I didn't know it was a spell at the beginning. It wasn't until I sorted out my parents' belongings half a year ago that I realized that it was the basic skill of magic, so I started to practice."

Zhou Xuan thought of some excuses during this time.

After all, how many spells I have mastered in a month is already shocking the world.

Except for prescriptions and common tricks, other spells are basically impossible to succeed in one practice.

It usually takes a while to comprehend the spells and incantations, and it is impossible to practice so quickly.

For example, the shaman who practiced Fujian practiced as a shaman since he was a child, practicing talisman rituals, and now is the induction stage.

"So that's the case. It seems that your father Lingtang doesn't want you to be infected by the devil. It's a pity..." Fu Jian sighed deeply.

Fu Jian's expression was gloomy, as if practicing spells was not a good thing.

In fact, regardless of whether there is inheritance or not, there is a possibility of being infected by magic, and inheritance only reduces the probability.

Once one embarks on the path of cultivation, basically one rarely has a good death.

There must be one of the five disadvantages and three deficiencies, Zhou Xuan's becoming an orphan may also be predestined.

At this time, Zhang Bo suddenly split the golden nanmu.

It turns out that this golden nanmu is not a mixed body, but hollow inside, with a piece of yellow paper inside.

"What is this?" Zhou Xuan asked.

Bright red talismans were written on the yellow paper with a cinnabar-red pen.

The talisman twisted and twisted, connecting several circles, like stars in the sky.

"This is the spirit official talisman, a representative spell that combines ghosts and souls."

Uncle Zhang turned over the back of the yellow paper, and on the back was written the date of birth, who was the last name, and the cause of death.

At the same time, there is a mantra: the soul, the spirit, the nine orifices are all clear, the four images on the outside, and the five elements inside.

Zhou Xuan could vaguely recognize it, it seemed to be the real name of the hanged female ghost.

Could it be that this female ghost was not born naturally, but there are villains behind it?
"What is a spiritual officer? There are ghosts mixed together?"

"This is a lineage that drives ghosts and gods; it is good at opening altars, offering flesh and blood to ghosts and gods, and using the power of ghosts and gods. It is extremely evil. It was destroyed by Jing Tiansi more than a hundred years ago. I didn't expect that there are still evils here..."

The so-called spirit officer is actually a spell to drive ghosts.

It's just that this orthodoxy beautifies him as a spiritual official.

"There are eight kinds of spirit officials in total, called the Eight Spirit Officials, which are: 鬽孔魀鬾魊魒魒魆. Each symbolizes a certain meaning. It is said that after the eight kinds of ghosts gather, they will have incredible power."

On the back of the talisman paper, in addition to the birth date, there are three characters in the middle: 魀智陵!

It seems that the code name of the hanged female ghost is "魀". (I don't know how to read it either, half of it is fine.)
"Are ghosts mixed together? I have heard of this orthodox tradition. It is said that at its peak, there were dozens of disciples, five hundred servants, and countless ghosts and gods. They commanded the five mountains in the middle and lower reaches of the Jiajiang River. The leader was called the Lord of the Five Mountains. .” Fu Jian suddenly realized.

Speaking of which, Yin Hun has a deep relationship with the White Tiger Marshal altar.

Back then, when the ghosts were raging together, the common people were all harmed by it.

The White Tiger Marshal Altar protects the common people and attracts countless incense sticks, so it has continued to this day, and there is a White Tiger Marshal Temple in Wushan.

"Why would such a powerful sect be destroyed?" Zhou Xuan asked.

Zhou Xuan was a little puzzled, just one ghost could kill countless civilians, so many ghosts add up to be equivalent to an army.

And it is even more elusive than the army. To destroy such a large sect is even more difficult than destroying a small country.

"Why can't it be destroyed?" Uncle Zhang laughed. "It was the time when our Jingtian Division was at its peak. Not only did it hold the power to supervise hundreds of officials, but it also had tens of thousands of troops."

"Although a cultivator knows magic, he is only a mortal body. He will die if he is cut by a knife or burned. Elite soldiers hold bows and crossbows and cannot hurt ghosts, but they can kill masters who drive ghosts."

It turns out that spells are not the only way to deal with spells.

For the government, there are many ways to destroy an orthodoxy.

In the first battle to eliminate the ghosts and souls, Jing Tiansi mobilized tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of monks.

It's smart to mix ghosts together, and take advantage of the dangers of mountains and rivers to stick to one side, making it impossible for monks to enter easily.

This group of people probably practiced too many spells, and their thinking was rigid.

I thought that as long as I stick to the dangers of mountains and rivers, I can be safe and worry-free.

When monks enter their territory, they can also win by virtue of geographical advantages.

It's a pity they underestimated Jing Tiansi.

Jing Tiansi didn't want to fight with them at all.

After the army besieged, they immediately set fire to the mountain.

The masters inside escaped, and they will face the rain of arrows all over the sky.

Even if ghosts and gods are driven to interfere, there are monks from the outside world to defend.

The five mountains burned for more than three months, and the mountains became bare.

The ghosts and souls were destroyed together, and there was not even a scum left of the prestigious Lord of the Five Mountains.
