The Ghost King from all directions was trapped under the courtyard wall, and everyone really got a chance to breathe. However, except for Shi Changxuan, the other Taoist priests were still in a daze.
What, Lord Chong’en really appeared?
When did Sazu’s temper become so good that even an abandoned temple with no worshippers in the middle of nowhere could invite his spirit?
What’s more important is that this young man looks to be only in his twenties, and some of them have been practicing Taoism for 20 or 30 years. It’s really irritating that people are so different from each other.
Xie Lingya bowed three times to the statue of Sazu, held the yin and yang in his fists, and silently agreed in his heart: “Thank you Sazu for your care, this disciple will definitely clean your statue after beating Pei Xiaoshan, and come to the temple to worship it, so that your incense will flourish.”
After being of such great help, Xie Lingya was excited enough to even promise a second wife.
After paying homage to Sazu, Xie Lingya took out the compass given by Xiao Baiqing and said, “Who is the senior of the Qingwei sect? We met your disciple.”
The Taoist priest who was pressed into the coffin screamed, “Baiqing, is he okay?”
He had no time to think about his apprentice since he was taken away. Now when Xie Lingya said it, he immediately realized that he didn’t know where Xiao Baiqing was lying, and the ghost king had not been caught before when he fell sick.
“Taoist Xiao has regained consciousness, but because there is no signal, I couldn’t contact anyone, so I can only temporarily ask a team of dark soldiers to guard him.” Xie Lingya said.
“Thank you so much…” Xiao Baiqing’s master said gratefully, “I wonder which temple this mage practices in?”
Others also looked at Xie Lingya with wide eyes, wanting to know his origins.
“My name is Xie Lingya. I am the person in charge of Baoyang Temple in Qiyang City, Queshan Province, but I have not become a monk.” After Xie Lingya said this, someone remembered.
“I remember your name. You must have been the one who found Pei Xiaoshan’s whereabouts before.”
“Yes, it seems so…”
“I read the information last time. The main god enshrined in Baoyang Temple is Wang Lingguan.”
“Oh— —”
The Taoist priests looked a little confused. Wang Lingguan was a disciple of Lord Chong’en, that’s right. Although it was a temple encountered on the road, the god worshiped in it was from the same sect as this young man.
Although this kind of cultivation was rare, this direct inheritance was definitely very important. There were so many immortals in Taoism and there were so many inheritance factions. It was impossible for a Taoist priest to sense so many gods.
“Everyone, now is a good opportunity. The Ghost King from all directions is trapped. Take the opportunity to capture Pei Xiaoshan. Otherwise, what if he attracts more powerful demons? If the Du Gong Seal remains in his hand for one more day, his danger will increase.” Xie Lingya said, “I just don’t know how everyone is doing now.”
Xie Lingya was going to ask how many people could form a team to fight Pei Xiaoshan.
Shi Changxuan had faced backlash from the Flowing Golden Fire Bell, and his face had turned a little pale, but he still said: “I’ll just rest for a while.”
Several other Taoist priests were also injured to some extent. They couldn’t run to this place to chase Pei Xiaoshan. They were timid and fearful, but they had not been entangled by the evil spirits that Pei Xiaoshan put on the road, so they must have a certain level of strength.
After some estimation, three of them were unable to fight anymore, but the remaining four were fine.
Everyone packed up their belongings. Xie Lingya had used up all his talismans, and Shi Changxuan still had some raw materials with him.
Someone said: “I heard before that Pei Xiaoshan also drew talismans and stamped them with the Du Gong Seal…”
Xie Lingya also had a talisman seal, but it was just to raise the Seal of the City God. Here he only attracted two Yin soldiers, and they ran away.
Shi Changxuan shook his head slightly and said: “The seal is transmitted from the heart. If Pei Xiaoshan’s mind is not right, he will not be able to exert the full effect of the Du Gong Seal.”
But this part also made everyone very uncomfortable, all because he had a powerful magic device.
Xie Lingya seemed to realize something. The seal given to him by his uncle was also the seal of the heart. In the final analysis, cultivating Taoism was about cultivating one’s heart. External objects were a kind of help, but they were by no means everything.
If everything relied on magic weapons, wouldn’t it be putting the cart before the horse?
Whether it was the flowing golden fire bell or the lifting of the city god’s seal, until the end of practice, everything became tangible and intangible, just driven by the heart…
Xie Lingya lowered his head and pondered. Others looked at him, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” When he woke up from the dream, he laid out the yellow paper and said, “Let’s draw the talisman first. I’ll draw some for later use.”
Xie Lingya, the human talisman machine, was already very famous in Qiyang. He and Fang Zhe were responsible for the so many talismans sold in the Taoist temple every day. But the hand-drawn works were mainly done by him.
But no one in the temple outside Qiyang knew it. When he started to draw the talisman, the other Taoist priests who were resting were shocked, “…??”
Was this person drawing the talisman? Why draw so fast??
Seeing Xie Lingya drawing talismans without thinking, they felt as if they had drawn fake talismans in the first half of their lives. If Xie Lingya’s talisman hadn’t worked just now, they would almost think that Xie Lingya was the kind of charlatan who drew talismans in ten seconds.
Wang Shuai’s whip-seeking thunder talisman, Wang Shuai’s five thunder main alliance talisman, Wang Shuai’s fire thunder ancestral worship talisman… These were the series of Wang Lingguan talismans, which were most effective against the evil, fire and thunder.
After getting ready, Xie Lingya walked to the door of the temple again, squatted down and said, “Hey, now I give you another chance, are you going to jump back?”
The four-in-one ghost king’s body was stabbed with electric light, and now it shook again, and his teeth shivered: “You, you, you said it lightly…”
“Can’t jump?” Xie Lingya said disappointedly, “Then you stay here well until we get back the Du Gong Seal.”
The Ghost King hated Pei Xiaoshan, but Xie Lingya had caused them to suffer a lot as well, so he didn’t have much of a favorable impression of him either. Suddenly there was a double image on one face. The four faces were stacked together, and their voices became four sentences together:
“Keep bragging.”
“Be careful, Feng Da flashed his tongue.”
“Don’t be arrogant, little Taoist!”
“You were just lucky this time.”
Xie Lingya patted his clothes and stood up.
Then he called You Jun, he was in the worst condition because he had been immersed in a coffin filled with unknown liquid and had just taken off all his clothes and was topless. At this time, he took out a piece of paper and folded it into a small piece.
Xie Lingya took a second look out of curiosity, and You Jun smiled at him, “Want to know what this is?”
“It’s a color-printed photo of Pei Xiaoshan.”
Xie Lingya: “…”
The remaining three people continued to rest in the Sazu Temple. The Ghost King couldn’t move anyway, and the other six people went back to look for Pei Xiaoshan.
Xie Lingya’s soldiers and horses were still in the open space, so it was better to go back. Once they arrived at the original place, they would have to rely on You Jun’s compass to find Pei Xiaoshan.
Pei Xiaoshan didn’t know where to draw the talisman, so they followed You Jun into the forest.
It was the middle of the night in this deep mountain and old forest, with only the dim moonlight, and the rustling of dead branches under their feet. They didn’t know what was lurking in the darkness.
At times like this, Xie Lingya remembered Shi Changxuan’s magic to save electricity bills, and he glanced at Shi Changxuan.
Shi Changxuan understood it, but they had to move forward. “The paper moon needs to be attached to the five elements.”
Xie Lingya was thinking about how to break a branch when he suddenly saw the Phytophthora God, “Hey …This…”
Shi Changxuan: “…”
Shi Changxuan cut paper into a moon and pasted it on the body of the Phytophthora God, blocking it.
The paper moon gave light, and Shi Changxuan looked like a big light bulb hung on his body.
Phytolacca God was quite proud, always feeling that he had made a contribution again.
With the paper moon, the visible range was wider. Xie Lingya suddenly said: “There seems to be a big tree over there?”
About a few hundred meters away, there was a banyan tree with a high crown, which was much taller than the surrounding trees. Everyone adjusted their positions and saw it from between the trees.
You Jun checked the compass, and by coincidence, Pei Xiaoshan was also in that direction.
Everyone felt that this coincidence might mean something, including Shi Changxuan. They all started to look at the feng shui around them, but it was so dark that they couldn’t see clearly.
Xie Lingya was not good at reading, but he and Shi Changxuan had seen the stars some time ago and said, “The stars in the sky correspond to the land and rivers. Can you observe the stars and measure the geomantic omen?”
Shi Changxuan took a deep breath and immediately looked up.
“Five stars surround it, with wood in the middle. That’s an auspicious place for Jupiter to help.” After a while, Shi Changxuan said.
“No wonder the tree grew so tall and the tree owner seems angry.” You Jun also said.
As they talked, they continued to walk there. The further they walked in the direction of the tree, the stronger the anger became. Some talismans could also be seen on the tree, which should have been posted by Pei Xiaoshan in order to enhance the anger here.
Everyone thought that Pei Xiaoshan painted talismans to refine ghosts and summon yin objects, so they were quite surprised to find that it turned out to be a treasure land full of vitality.
“I understand.” Xie Lingya suddenly said, “Have you received the summons from the City God? Do you still remember that Pei Xiaoshan is a person who deserves to die? Although he is forced to stay in the world, the death energy in his body should be getting stronger and stronger.”
“The disconnect between the body and the soul is becoming more and more serious, and it is necessary to use strong vitality to keep the body alive.”
Everyone thought of this section, isn’t that right?
“Pei Xiaoshan… can be said to be a walking zombie.”
The person who deserves to die is still doing evil everywhere, but he is not a walking zombie, however he is more powerful than the ordinary walking zombies.
