The world of Taoism

Chapter 74 Old Ghost (Please recommend for collection)

The light rain is dripping, and the stream is gurgling.

It rained lightly at night, and the mountain was shrouded in a thin layer of smoke.

Jiangnan has strong water vapor and a humid climate.

Walking in the woods, the clothes were instantly wet.

The mountain is not barren, it seems that people often come, and there is a cobblestone road at the foot.

Stepping on the cobblestone road, the stones creaked.

Everyone hurriedly walked up the mountain.

This mountain is inaccessible, and there are basically no people from the halfway up the mountain.

The more you climb, the harder it is to climb, with cliffs and rocks piercing through the sky.

At this time, it began to rain again.

The patter of light rain hit everyone, and it was actually a bit cold.

Everyone did not go to hide from the rain, but climbed the mountain in the rain.

However, human physical strength is limited after all. After climbing a gentle slope, everyone was exhausted.

"Take a break and leave later." Zhou Xuan said to everyone.

At this time, Zhou Xuan saw a small room.

Black bricks and blue tiles, creepers crawled all over the small house, like a big stone, if you don't look carefully, you might not see it.

This small house is very small, the size of a toilet, and it can accommodate two or three people. It looks very old, and the green exterior wall cannot clearly see the original appearance.

Zhou Xuan walked in front of the small room, where a stone statue was enshrined, wrapped in a layer of red cloth, the color of which had faded.

From the point of view of the system, it should be the Land Lord.

It may be that Zhou Xuan's level is too low. Zhou Xuan has been to the Earth Temple of the Town God's Temple, but he didn't sense anything. It's just an ordinary stone statue.

The same is true for this one.

Zhou Xuan walked into the room and felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird. The stone idol was a simple and honest old man, about the size of a human head.

When Zhou Xuan looked at the stone statue, the statue's eyeballs seemed to turn for a moment.

The walls were covered with moss, and the green moss suddenly turned black, growing rapidly, and extending towards Zhou Xuan, like a monster with teeth and claws.

Zhou Xuan held his breath, and when he was about to launch an attack, a voice came from behind.

"Slow!" The voice came from far to near, like thunder.

When Zhou Xuangang discovered the owner of the voice, he was still a hundred meters away, and now he has arrived beside him in the blink of an eye.

Looking back, an old man was standing by his side, smiling at him.

This person was wearing a pitch-black robe and had a white beardless face. Judging from his appearance, he was about eight or ninety years old.

She looks very old, but her skin is pale.

He is about 1.6 meters tall, with a large protrusion on his back, which seems to be a hunchback.

The most striking thing is that this person is holding an umbrella in his hand.

The umbrella is painted with black paint, and the water droplets slide down on it, so you can tell that it is worth a lot of money.

Zhou Xuan reacted quickly, pinching the Thunder Jue in his hand.

"Don't mess around!" The hunchback hastily reached out his hand to stop it, "I have no malicious intentions."

Before Zhou Xuan could speak, the hunchback walked up to the statue, holding the Lingguan Jue in his hand, and recited the incantation in a low voice.

The decree of heaven, the lonely soul of Chaoru, all ghosts and ghosts, and the grace of the four lives.

Those with a head surpass, those without a head rise, kill with a spear, and jump into the water with a rope. ………

It seems to be a supernatural spell, the moment the spell is finished.

A coercion from somewhere leaked out.

The surrounding vines that stretched their teeth and claws immediately shrank back and returned to their original state.

Only then did Zhou Xuan see two skeletons lying in the corner, one large and one small, the big skeleton hugging the small one tightly.

There are human bones on it!

The bones are yellow, with a little mold on them, which looks quite scary.

Even if death is imminent, the older one still protects the younger one. Seeing this picture, Zhou Xuan felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

"Two lonely ghosts, I have already rescued them." The hunchback smiled back.

"Your Excellency?" Zhou Xuan asked.

This hunchback gave Zhou Xuan a strange feeling, not like a human, not like a monster.

And he really didn't have any malice towards him, if he wanted to sneak attack him just now, even if the mouse could react, Zhou Xuan would still suffer a little injury.

"I forgot the name, you can call me old ghost." The hunchback took out a yellow cloth and carefully wrapped the two bones together.

It was raining lightly outside, and the old ghost walked out the door and opened the oil-paper umbrella.

Before leaving, the old ghost turned his head and said to Zhou Xuan: "A group of people came up the mountain yesterday, they are not good people, you should be careful."

"Where are they?" Zhou Xuan asked, presumably they should be Shan Kui's people.

The old ghost pointed to the top of the mountain, and said with a smile: "Do you have a festival? This group of people is not easy to mess with. They are vicious and murderous. I dare not approach the old ghost easily."

"How about this, here is this thing for you." The old ghost took out a piece of yellow talisman paper from his pocket, and wrote a rune like a spirit snake, the three characters 'dispelling ghosts and gods'.

This spell can ward off ghosts and gods. When ghosts cast illusions, the spell will play a role.

Zhou Xuan took the talisman and sensed it. This is true, and it contains a sacred power, which can indeed resist hallucinations.

Zhou Xuan raised his head, wanting to thank the old ghost, but he disappeared.

A black umbrella can be seen faintly passing by under the mountain.

"Strange, could it be that he is another worldly expert like the White Crane God?" Zhou Xuan asked doubtfully.

Zhou Xuan had a dark premonition that he could predict whether the other party was a person who practiced evil methods, or whether he had any malicious intentions towards him.

The old ghost can't see through strength, so he should also be a master.

He appears and disappears like a ghost, but it doesn't feel like a ghost, a bit like a white crane god.

Zhou Xuan shook his head, put aside this thought, and immediately led people up the mountain.

We will meet each other by fate in the future, so don't get too entangled.

At the foot of the mountain, the old ghost was holding an oil-paper umbrella. His short body was in stark contrast to the huge black umbrella.

The old ghost buried the two skeletons and inserted two nameless monuments.

Then he scratched a line on the hardwood rib of the black umbrella.

"Add one more." The old ghost muttered to himself, there are 97 scratches like this on the rib.

The old ghost looked at the scratches with satisfaction, and then disappeared into the night.

The more you go up, the steeper you go. Fortunately, everyone is good at flying over eaves and walls, and they climbed [-] meters in a blink of an eye.

As they got closer to the top of the mountain, everyone slowed down.

Due to the rain, the smell was washed away, and Zhou Xuan could only rely on a little sense to hurry.

On the top of the mountain, Shan Kui was sitting in a thatched hut. In front of him stood ten red-haired monsters with a height of two meters, green faces and fangs.

These red-haired monsters are mandrills, the legendary mountain gods.

Shan Kui wears a monkey mask and has the ability to control mandrills.

This realm can control ten mandrills.

Each mandrill has its own code name, usually named after the character next to the word 山.

In fact, these things are all formed by human beings.

Through some kind of magic, it was transformed into a mandrill, and there were other semi-finished products similar to mandrills, such as the man in black who assassinated Zhou Xuan that day.

Shan Kui asked his men to ambush in the Lin Mansion. Once someone breaks in, he will face endless siege.

Shan Kui is cautious, he just hides on the mountain and comes down after recovering.
