When it found that several cars on the winding mountain road had stopped, the already timid long-necked ghost started to panic.
Its soul hidden in the stone wall was exposed a little, turned into black gas, and tried to escape.
Seeing this, Master Jiang, who was the closest to the stone wall, immediately used his own methods.
Just like the last time when he dealt with the Yin-headed ghost, Master Jiang chanted a spell and flipped his hand, and his magic weapon, the "ground net", was thrown out directly.
Under the spell, the ground net flashed red light, and its original palm size suddenly became larger.
"go!"
Master Jiang gave a low shout, and the enlarged ground net went towards the long-necked ghost net.
As soon as the long-necked ghost showed its head, the ground net covered it and sucked it out from the stone wall and fell into the net.
"Ahh...don't kill me, don't kill me! Spare me, spare me..."
The long-necked ghost screamed in pain.
The extremely yang energy on the ground net caused great damage to its soul. The more the long-necked ghost struggled, the tighter the ground net became.
Master Jiang shouted at the long-necked ghost: "Don't struggle, or you will be reduced to ashes!"
The long-necked ghost felt the pain, but it had no choice but to obey Master Jiang's orders.
Then the ground net became the size of a palm again and flew back into Master Jiang's hands.
The long-necked ghost huddled into a small ball in the ground net. Its soul was very weak and became extremely small, looking very funny.
Master Jiang successfully caught the long-necked ghost.
Soon, Master Chu and others got off the van and walked over quickly.
Long Yuanda laughed and said to Master Jiang: "Brother Jiang, you are not bad. Although the ground net is not a high-level magic weapon, you have used it very skillfully. I thought my Sky Eye would come in handy, but now it seems that I don't need to do anything!"
Master Jiang clasped his fists towards Long Yuanda and said, "Master Long, you're too polite. How can my ground net compare to your sky eye? I was really afraid that the little ghost would run away, so I took action first!"
"Hey, Brother Jiang, don't be too modest, your ground net is really good!"
Long Yuanda chuckled and said nothing more.
The long-necked ghost had already felt the fear of the people around him. As a ghost, it would instinctively fear people with good karma. Moreover, we all have a lot of good karma.
Xiao Junmin walked over slowly from behind. He looked at the Yin-headed ghost in the ground net and asked quickly, "Tell me, do you know that Taoist Yang Chen?"
The soul of the Yin-headed ghost was trembling.
It nodded quickly and said, "I know! That's my master."
The voice of the Yin-headed ghost is a male voice, and there is a sense of oldness in the voice, so it seems to be an old ghost.
"Then what is your master doing now? Is he refining the Rejuvenation Pill?"
Xiao Junmin asked bluntly. It seemed that he was more concerned about the Rejuvenation Pill.
"Yes, yes, yes... My master is refining the Rejuvenating Pill, and as far as I know, the Rejuvenating Pill is almost ready!"
The long-necked ghost shrank its neck and spoke tremblingly. When it said this, there was still fear and panic in the eyes of its soul.
"What, the Regeneration Pill is almost ready? Haha, that's great! It seems that our trip was not in vain, and we should gain something."
The master named Qiao An continued with some excitement.
Master Chu and Master Qi on the side also nodded.
However, after hearing what the long-necked ghost said, doubts arose in my heart.
I remember the last time I encountered that
When he was with Taoist Yang Chen, he said that his soul and his zombie body had only just awakened for a while, and during this time, he had been entrenched on the winding mountain road in Qingfeng Gorge. I think, even if he was harming people on the winding mountain road during the day, I am afraid that without the guidance of hundreds of people, he would not be able to refine the regeneration pill.
I stood aside and shouted angrily at the long-necked ghost, "Impossible! Little ghost, are you lying to us? I remember the last time I caught a Yin-headed ghost under Taoist Yang Chen, it said that Taoist Yang Chen had not found enough human hearts to refine the Rejuvenation Pill. How could it be possible that the pill would be made so quickly now?"
“Are you lying???”
My gaze suddenly became sharp, perhaps a little aggressive.
After I reminded him of this, Master Jiang's expression changed.
He agreed, "That's right, Brother Yang is telling the truth. The last time we killed that Yin-headed ghost, he said that Taoist Yang Chen still needed a lot of human hearts as a trigger for the re-creation of the pill. It's only been two days, how could the pill be made so quickly!?"
For a moment, Master Chu and others all raised their eyebrows.
Xiao Junmin glared at the long-necked ghost and shouted at him, "Little ghost, you dare to lie to us? Believe it or not, we will turn you into ashes right now!"
Having said that, Xiao Junmin took out a ghost-exorcising talisman from his arms and wanted to kill the long-necked ghost.
The long-necked ghost was so frightened that his soul and body became unstable and trembled continuously.
It said hurriedly: "No, no... I am not lying to you, it is true! It is true! My master is not short of people. A few days ago, he took us to a small village. We killed hundreds of people in that village and dug out their hearts!"
The long-necked ghost's explanation completely stunned us all.
Afterwards, Master Chu, Master Xiao and others who reacted immediately became angry.
Master Chu clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with fire. He cursed fiercely, "What a beast! He actually controlled ghosts to kill so many innocent people. That's hundreds of lives, and they were all slaughtered like that... Too scary, too evil! When I catch that Taoist Yang Chen, I will grind him to ashes."
Xiao Zhenmin also said angrily: "He is indeed an evil Taoist priest. Even though he has turned into a ghost, he still wants to harm people. He is really guilty of a heinous crime. We must not let him go. Otherwise, if the underworld investigates this matter, our good deeds will be deducted."
Everyone standing on the winding mountain road was shocked and angry at the behavior of Taoist Yang Chen.
A dead person has transformed his soul into a ghost and his body into a zombie, and now he has harmed so many people. Even if he can really refine the Rejuvenation Pill and transcend the cycle of reincarnation, he will probably not have a good ending.
"We should find that Taoist Yang Chen as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we wait for him to refine the Rejuvenation Pill and swallow it, it will be difficult for us to deal with him."
Master Qi urged from the side.
"Then let this little ghost lead the way and take us to find that Taoist Yang Chen."
Sister Xilan’s master Lou Xiaoman spoke softly.
I found that although Lou Xiaoman is Zhao Xilan's master, the two people have completely different personalities.
Zhao Xilan is the type of person who is carefree and has a somewhat manly personality.
As for Master Lou, she seemed to have seen through the world. She was neither anxious nor impatient, and her eyes were calm, as if she was indifferent to everything.
Then Master Jiang tightened the "ground net" and asked the long-necked ghost,
"You should know where the Taoist Yang Chen is, right? Are you willing to lead us?"
Master Jiang's face was very cold. He was also angry because of Taoist Yang Chen's harm to others.
"Yes! Yes! I am willing to lead the way for you. As long as you don't kill me!"
"Okay! Then you lead the way, but don't play any tricks, otherwise we will make you die miserably."
Master Chu stood aside and spoke coldly to the long-necked ghost.
Then Master Jiang chanted a spell and the long-necked ghost was released from the ground net.
However, the long-necked ghost had no chance of escape because his soul was too weak. If the Taoist priest on our side randomly cast a ghost-exorcising talisman, his soul would probably be wiped out by the talisman.
Soon the long-necked ghost was flying in front and our car was following behind.
Two hours later, we descended the winding mountain road.
After getting off the winding mountain road, our car headed southeast under the guidance of the long-necked ghost.
The sky was not very dark. The moon was round and hanging in the sky, and the stars were shining brightly.
After driving for several kilometers, the car finally stopped in front of a gravel mountain. The gravel mountain was very desolate, with few trees and covered with wormwood several feet high.
In order not to alert the enemy, we turned off the engine in a slightly hidden place at the foot of the mountain.
After getting off the car, we took flashlights and followed the Yin-headed ghost in front.
At our request, the Yin-headed ghost flew very slowly, so even though there were quite a few of us, we all caught up.
After another ten minutes or so, a huge banyan tree appeared in front of us.
The banyan tree has lush branches and leaves, thick branches, and stands there with tangled roots.
Next to the big banyan tree, there is a stone cave.
Although the distance was far, we could vaguely see that there was a lot of light inside the cave, which should be the light of the fire or the light of the torch.
"That's it! ... My master is in the cave over there, refining the elixir."
The long-necked ghost said timidly.
There was a glimmer of fear in his eyes, as if he was afraid that we would destroy it immediately.
I stood next to Master Chu and asked the long-necked ghost, "But why is it so quiet around here? I remember your master controls dozens of ghosts, right?"
The long-necked ghost answered without hesitation: "Yes! My master does control dozens of ghosts, but he has sent them out to look for herbs."
"Looking for herbs? What herbs?"
I asked subconsciously.
The long-necked ghost said, "That herb is called Emperor Grass, and it can only be found in snake dens. My master said that the herb can neutralize the evil spirit in the Rejuvenation Pill. When the pill is ready, you can take the Rejuvenation Pill directly!"
Tianhuangcao does have the effect of neutralizing violent energy.
Taoist Yang Chen controlled ghosts to kill so many people and collected so many human hearts as bait. In addition to blood, there is also hostility in people's hearts, and the hostility naturally needs to be neutralized!"
Lou Xiaoman on the side also spoke up at this time: "It's right, Tianhuang Grass can indeed neutralize anger and resentment. Those who were killed probably had a lot of anger in their hearts!"
Master Qiao Anqiao also spoke up. He said anxiously, "In that case, let's quickly enter the cave and give that Taoist Yang Chen a head-on blow and make him drink a pot of bitter wine. With so many Taoists like us, it's easy to deal with a half-human, half-ghost thing!"
No one objected.
As for the long-necked ghost, Fatty Li put it into a "soul-binding bead" he was carrying.
