At first glance, Xie Lingya stared at the room, even suspecting that it was his own hallucination.
Inside the room, there was a thin figure floating in the air, with limbs and torso, all broken, cheeks torn so that teeth could be seen, holding a bamboo pole in his hand.
It was Pei Xiaoshan, or Pei Xiaoshan’s soul.
But how could it be Pei Xiaoshan?
Even Liu Lingtong on his shoulder cried out in horror, not expecting this.
He was also looking at Xie Lingya from the house and even waved to him.
Xie Lingya gritted his teeth, entered the house, and took a glance. The Taoists living here were not injured but were huddled in the corner and shivering. They had never seen Pei Xiaoshan. Even if they had seen him on the news, they could not recognize that this was the handsome Pei Xiaoshan from the photo.
The wounds all over Pei Xiaoshan’s body were all caused by the bites of the Four Ghost Kings.
“Xie Lingya…” The teeth in the hole on Pei Xiaoshan’s face moved a few times, squeezing out these words.
When Xie Lingya saw those Taoists, he forced himself to calm down and touched Liu Lingtong on his shoulder. Pei Xiaoshan was Liu Lingtong’s nightmare. He thought he had gotten rid of him, but he reappeared again. The little guy was so scared that he couldn’t speak.
However, Pei Xiaoshan’s attention was not on it yet, but on Xie Lingya, the culprit who made him fail. “You never thought that I would be back again.”
– Although in the form of a soul.
“I really didn’t expect it,” Xie Lingya took a deep breath, “There is a second chance to seek death.”
“I still have to thank you, otherwise how could I have the opportunity to return to the world.” Pei Xiaoshan’s face twisted, “You really should have a taste of the pain I suffered.”
Xie Lingya said coldly: “No, thank you.”
At this time, a thin voice came from outside the window: “Xie, Teacher Xie…”
Xie Lingya turned his head and looked sideways, it turned out to be Ding Aima.
Under Pei Xiaoshan’s gaze, he trembled and said: “There are so many evil spirits, Dr. Hai and the others are in danger…”
Pei Xiaoshan smiled, “This is my gift to you, so that you will have someone to accompany you when you go down.”
Xie Lingya thought that there might be the strategy of luring a tiger away from the mountain, but he didn’t expect that it was not Ma Xiaochuan who came, but Pei Xiaoshan. Ma Xiaochuan was not to be feared, but Pei Xiaoshan was different. He made even the Zhengyi faction restless.
But Xie Lingya couldn’t figure it out. How could Pei Xiaoshan take out a remnant soul from the underworld, and how could he still have power?
Xie Lingya thought of the many people in the temple, and his eyes changed when he looked at Pei Xiaoshan. He moved his heart seal and told the four ghost kings to receive orders in front of the altar. The ghost kings from the southeast, northwest, and northeast gathered together, and the wind was blowing. The moment they saw Pei Xiaoshan, they were all surprised, “Didn’t this guy get taken away by the underworld…”
“Open the sky and expand the earth, Ganzhu communicates with the spirit.” Pei Xiaoshan pointed the bamboo stick in his hand, and a green light emerged, flying up and down among the ghost kings, leaving a burn mark when it touched the body. Pei Xiaoshan, who used to rely on the Dugong seal to control the ghost kings, could now manipulate them with his own magic weapon.
What on earth did he go through? Xie Lingya frowned, and his heart seal changed to the seal of the city god, summoning the ghost soldiers of the underworld temple to meet him.
Pei Xiaoshan pointed at the bamboo stick again: “Call the gods to worship the heavens and take the earth to welcome the gods.”
He pointed at the ground with his stick. Although he could not make the Yin gods bow their heads as the spell said, he could still isolate the earth for a while. Xie Lingya could not summon the Yin soldiers, and his expression became even uglier.
Pei Xiaoshan continued to laugh and said: “You asked the ancestors to possess you. How many seconds can you hold on now? Do you still have the strength to go back and save people? And your Yin soldiers, can they deal with the hanged ghost?”
At this time, thunder rumbled from the sky, but it was not released.
Pei Xiaoshan took a look and said: “It seems that the level of the Taoist priests under your command is not very good.”
The speed of this spell casting was not faster than Xie Lingya’s.
As he said this, Pei Xiaoshan pointed at the void with his bamboo stick again, and a long-haired water ghost crawled out of the toilet. Like the hanged ghost, the drowned ghost was also extremely dangerous. His original nine-section sun-facing bamboo stick was destroyed long ago, and he didn’t know where this one came from. However, calling the gods to worship the heavens, taking the earth to welcome the gods, no wonder Liu Lingtong couldn’t predict half of it.
Just as Xie Lingya was about to speak, a golden stream of light shot out from outside, passing through the throat of the drowned ghost, turning it into black smoke, and then hitting Pei Xiaoshan’s back, knocking him down from mid-air. He staggered on the ground twice before turning around.
A cold and handsome face appeared in the darkness outside the window. It was Shi Changxuan.
The moment Xie Lingya saw Shi Changxuan, he felt relieved. Even if he wanted to fight, he should have no worries. “Brother.”
Shi Changxuan found out that he was deceived halfway, but fortunately he rushed back.
He was also someone Pei Xiaoshan hated very much. “Since you are here, don’t leave.”
Although he shouted for Xie Lingya to ask the ancestor to possess him, he knew in his heart that he must not give Xie Lingya the opportunity to pray and ask. Seeing Shi Changxuan, who could protect the law, coming, he couldn’t wait any longer. He pointed his bamboo stick to the southeast, summoning countless ghosts, and his eyes fell on the trembling Taoists.
“F**k you.” Xie Lingya stretched out his hand, grabbed Shi Changxuan’s, and pulled him in from the window, “I can kill you even without asking the ancestor!”
The more Pei Xiaoshan threatened the people in the temple, the more he dared not panic. Once he lost his composure, how could he perform his magic?
Since Pei Xiaoshan’s death, Xie Lingya had not remained unchanged. Pei Xiaoshan had made rapid progress, and so had he and Shi Changxuan.
Apart from other things, Xie Lingya received the authentic Sazu Lei Fa in Tianran Temple and was also tempered by the evil Buddha. His will had even become more determined. Although he had no sword in his hand, he kicked the broom in the room and stepped on the broom head. He now only had a bamboo stick in his hand.
Pei Xiaoshan had a bamboo stick in his hand, and Xie Lingya also had a bamboo stick in his hand. Shi Changxuan was even better. He had nothing in his hands, so he simply pinched the sword formula with his hands.
“One turn, the world moves.” Xie Lingya thrust out a “sword”, chanting incantations, “Two turns, six gods hide…”
“Three turns, four evil spirits disappear, five turns, thunderbolts are released.”
The bamboo stick sizzled and aroused purple light and electricity.
“Six turns, the mountain ghost dies, seven turns–“
Xie Lingya had learned sword skills from Shi Changxuan in recent days, and the two cooperated tacitly, even better than when they first fought Pei Xiaoshan. One on the left and one on the right blocked Pei Xiaoshan’s way, and a sword stabbed Pei Xiaoshan’s left chest.
“Seven turns, gather all the evil spirits that go against the will of heaven, and those who are not just and evil will die under the five thunders!”
The lightning was strong!
Pei Xiaoshan screamed, and his whole body was wrapped in the lightning. He clenched the bamboo stick and said sternly: “Live with me, die with me!”
The lightning actually flowed back along the bamboo stick and attacked Xie Lingya’s right hand.
The two never expected that Pei Xiaoshan could still perform magic in reverse. Yin objects were afraid of thunder and fire, and people were flesh and blood, so they also couldn’t stand it.
Without thinking, Shi Changxuan snatched the bamboo stick from Xie Lingya’s hand, and the lightning also jumped on him. Shi Changxuan was shocked and flew backwards several meters, then he fell to the ground, and leaned against the sofa.
The Taoists exclaimed and were about to go forward to help him, but he raised his hand, and there was still lightning on his fingertips. He shook his head with pain and stopped everyone from coming.
When they first faced Pei Xiaoshan, Xie Lingya blocked a blow for Shi Changxuan. He didn’t know how Shi Changxuan felt at the time, but he was very shocked now.
The method of thunder and fire was a critical hit, and it would continue to cause damage after the critical hit, destroying people’s souls. Even if Shi Changxuan had practiced Taoism for many years, how long could he withstand the torture.
Pei Xiaoshan smiled happily, “How is it?”
Xie Lingya came back to his senses, looked at him coldly, and strode to Shi Changxuan.
Shi Changxuan shook his head, but he could no longer speak. He wanted to retract his hand to prevent Xie Lingya from touching it.
“Brother…” Xie Lingya whispered, then swallowing his tears, stretched out his hand to hold his fingertips, and even took a step closer to hug him, saying softly, “The soul is clear and the spirit is eternal. Without suffering, the body is bright.”
Shi Changxuan also closed his eyes and thought, and the lightning on his body disappeared in an instant, and even a golden light shone through.
Pei Xiaoshan immediately hugged his head and screamed when he saw the golden light. He was just a ghost, afraid of thunder and fire, and also afraid of righteousness and light.
“Heh…” Pei Xiaoshan panted heavily, looking at Xie Lingya with hatred and unwillingness to believe. He felt that his cultivation had made great progress, but could he not overcome that spiritual light? Xie Lingya could understand the trick in an instant, so weren’t his actions even more ridiculous.
Seeing that Pei Xiaoshan’s broken face still had a complicated expression, Xie Lingya walked over and stepped on the bamboo stick that fell on the ground, hooked it up, held it in his hand, and wrote a talisman on it: “The spirit of the South Pole, the god of fire and thunder. Red-faced loyalty, touring the universe. If you dare not obey, cut into dust!”
Pei Xiaoshan fell to the ground and stared at Xie Lingya. He had too many unexpected and regretful things. He shouldn’t have thought that his cultivation had improved greatly, and had been eager for revenge, such that he wasted this opportunity.
If I had known earlier, I would have taken it slow…
Pei Xiaoshan rolled and hissed, “I will come back, you wait…”
“Forget it. You are not destined to be Gray Wolf.” After Xie Lingya said this, he had already stabbed Pei Xiaoshan’s head with a stick, cutting into dust, and his soul twisted for a moment and broke into countless pieces.
Even though he didn’t learn from Pei Xiaoshan how he came back but Xie Lingya didn’t plan to keep this scourge anymore.
Pei Xiaoshan turned into ashes, and only a bamboo stick was left on the ground.
Xie Lingya picked up the bamboo stick and saw that it was green and full of vitality, but the more vitality it had, the more he felt something was wrong.
Shi Changxuan stood up with the help of the sofa, as if he knew what Xie Lingya was thinking, “I’ll look into it later.”
Xie Lingya woke up, “Are you okay?”
Shi Changxuan shook his head. Although he was injured, he was much better after Xie Lingya silently chanted “Eternal Qi” and sorted out his qi.
He didn’t know what happened at the Taoist temple. Xie Lingya took the bamboo stick and asked the Four Ghost Kings to go to Baoyang Temple first. He and other Taoists followed closely with Shi Changxuan. He also called home to ask about their situation.
When he looked up, the stars and the moon were hidden behind the clouds, and the surroundings were extremely quiet. Xie Lingya thought that the noise tonight seemed a bit loud, and he hoped he would not be complained to by the neighbors tomorrow…
