After listening to the old man's words, I became more curious.
I asked, "Uncle, can you tell me in detail about the Soul Burial Valley?"
The old man took a sip of wine, nodded and said, "Okay. But young man, I advise you not to go. It is said that there are some things that are neither human nor ghost living in there."
"And no one who has been to Soul Burial Valley has ever returned alive. About a year ago, two hunters in the town didn't believe in evil and made a bet to go to Soul Burial Valley. But after a few days, it was as if those two people had disappeared from the face of the earth and never came out of Soul Burial Valley."
"You don't know. I heard from some old people that the Soul Burial Valley is inhabited by demons and monsters. It is also a place where corpses are raised. It is said that the creatures living there like to raise corpses. In the past two years, corpses have often been lost in the cemetery in the town. Some people have seen it and said that the corpses were stolen by the monsters from the Soul Burial Valley."
"I guess those monsters stole the corpses to raise them."
The old man talked to me a lot about the Soul Burial Valley, but it sounded very mysterious to me.
Granny Tianhua had mentioned before that Soul Burial Valley was a place where corpses were kept. But it was the first time I heard that there were a group of strange creatures that were neither human nor ghost living in Soul Burial Valley. It was really weird.
However, these are just some rumors in Longtan Town, and we should not believe them easily. But if we really go to the Soul Burial Valley, we still have to be careful.
Later, after I asked for directions to the Soul Burial Valley, I said goodbye to the old man. I also helped him pay for the wine. At that time, his face was as bright as a flower.
It was almost evening when we returned to Longtan Inn.
We bought dinner from outside, ate a little, and then went to bed.
I shared a room with my master Zhang Chu. Although we went to bed at night, we didn't fall asleep. We kept chatting.
"Apprentice, can you tell the master about your red lacquer coffin?"
Zhang Chu lay on the bed, leaning his body, looking at me and asked.
In the moonlight, his face was still quite clear.
I didn't expect Zhang Chu to ask about the red lacquer coffin, but the red lacquer coffin is too mysterious to me. And the gluttonous beast inside and the huge black coffin are also things from ancient times. And the person in the coffin... ... I don't want to tell this to my master Zhang Chu.
So I refused bluntly, "I'm sorry, Master, I can't tell you about the red lacquer coffin."
Zhang Chu was not angry either, he nodded, he understood what I meant.
Later, he also told me about Wang Jiuyang. He had the same idea as me, and he also thought that the reason why Wang Jiuyang left secretly was because after I released the Taotie beast in the red lacquer coffin, Wang Jiuyang became afraid of my strength. That's why Wang Jiuyang left.
As we chatted, a lot of time passed.
I felt sleepy little by little, and slowly closed my eyes, ready to go to sleep.
But not long after Zhang Chu and I fell asleep, we suddenly heard shouting from the next room.
"Ah—help!"
The cry was very loud, and I knew it was Zhao Xilan's voice as soon as I heard it.
I thought to myself, no! I quickly sat up from the bed, put on my shoes, grabbed my bag, and rushed out of my room.
My cheap master Zhang Chu also limped behind me.
I pushed open the door with a "bang!" and I walked in to the room where Zhao Xilan and Lou Xiaoman were.
In the room.
The curtains in the room were drawn, so the moonlight couldn't get in and it was a little dim.
And in the darkness, Zhao Xilan was fighting with a dark shadow.
My current level of Taoism has enabled me to sense ghostly auras.
The chilly ghostly aura immediately gave me goose bumps.
"Oh no, it's a ghost!" Zhang Chu said anxiously.
Zhao Xilan heard the voice and said hurriedly, "Brother Tianyi, it's a ghost. Help me quickly. I am no match for this ghost."
I didn't think too much about it and turned on the light in the room first.
Under the light, Zhao Xilan was dodging the ghost's attack in her pajamas.
As for Master Lou, she was lying on the bed motionless, with a lot of black air on her face.
The ghost had a long neck, a small head, but sharp teeth. Sticky liquid was flowing out of the ghost's mouth. The ghost's face was dark red and ferocious. Thick black ghost energy emanated from its body, bringing with it a chill.
I hurriedly said, "Little devil, you dare to hurt others. I will punish you."
But that ghost was no longer a little ghost. The ghostly aura on it told me that it was already an evil ghost!
Then, I took out the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword from the bag. The Qi of Yin De poured in, and the seven light spots on the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword suddenly flashed. Soon, the red light enveloped the entire Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword.
The red light is shining brightly!
At this time, Zhao Xilan's Yin De Qi was already running low. She slapped her palm outward, and after the ghost dodged, Zhao Xilan quickly stepped back several steps and moved towards us.
I stepped on the Seven Star Steps and swung the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword in my hand, chopping at the ghost.
The ghost saw me coming and made a "uh uh uh" sound from its mouth. The sound was very sharp and harsh.
“Uh uh uh… I’m going to kill you, Zhao Xilan! I’m going to kill you!”
The ghost's soul flashed to the side and avoided my magic sword.
But then it rushed towards Zhao Xilan again.
I knew it wanted to hurt Zhao Xilan, but I couldn't give it the chance.
I threw the Phantom Night Needle directly out, and when the ghost's soul approached Zhao Xilan, the Phantom Night Needle shot towards the ghost's body with a subtle sound.
The ghost's neck shrank, and it nimbly dodged the attack of the Phantom Night Needle.
With a "puff" sound, the ghost opened its mouth and spit out a breath of black air in the direction of me and Zhao Xilan.
Suddenly, a pungent smell began to spread in the room.
Then, the room seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black fog, all of which were ghostly auras. I couldn’t even see Zhao Xilan’s location clearly.
My master Zhang Chu was no longer a ghost-catching Taoist priest, so he did not enter the room.
Seeing that his vision was blocked, Zhang Chu shouted, "Tianyi, are you okay?"
I replied, "Nothing, Master, I'm fine."
Zhao Xilan shouted at this time: "Brother Tianyi, where are you? Why can't I see you!?"
I hurriedly said, "Sister Xilan, I'm here!"
Zhao Xilan followed my voice and found me directly, then threw herself into my arms.
I looked at Zhao Xilan and asked, "Sister Xilan, are you okay?"
Zhao Xilan nodded and said anxiously, "Brother Tianyi, my master was injured by the ghost and fainted. Let's go and save her quickly."
"Okay!" I said.
The room was not big, and the two beds were placed side by side. I thought it would be easy to find Master Lou's bed. However, our Zhao Xilan was in the dark ghostly air.
After looking around for a long time, I still couldn't find Master Lou's bed. It was as if the two beds had been moved out of the room.
Suddenly, I realized something was wrong.
I said to the somewhat anxious Zhao Xilan, "Sister Xilan, that's not right. We seem to have entered the ghost's space. It seems to have trapped us. Otherwise, I would have touched the bed a long time ago."
I was right, we were indeed ambushed by the ghost and were trapped in its ghost space. It felt a bit like being trapped in a ghost wall, we wandered around in the ghost space but couldn't get out.
But the ghost thought that it could stop me like this.
If that were the case, it would underestimate us.
Without thinking too much, I directly infused the energy of Yin De into my third eye.
Suddenly, the third eye on my left hand released a cluster of green light.
Under the green light, I was able to see through the ghost space. With my eyes looking up, I noticed that the ghost was actually lying on the top of the room, constantly blowing ghost air into the room. The ghost air was confined in a small square space.
The space looks small, but when we turn around in it, it feels very big. So no matter how we turn, we can't get out. If I had the skills I had back then, I don't think I would have been able to see through this disguise.
But now it’s different!
I motioned Zhao Xilan to stand aside, and then I directly activated the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword in my hand, using the "strike" method in the sword magic to point it towards the position above my head.
The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword broke through the spatial constraints above its head and touched the ghost's soul.
The ghost immediately let out a terrible cry of "Ah".
With the scream, the ghost space collapsed directly.
Without hesitation, I took out several ghost-exorcising talismans from my cloth bag and threw them one by one in the four directions of the room.
As he chanted the incantation, the exorcist talisman instantly burned, transforming into four flames that burned away the ghostly spirits with a "sizzling" sound.
When the ghost aura began to dim, I suddenly jumped up.
When the ghost tried to escape out of the window, the soul-binding rope in my hand flew out immediately.
The ghost just flew to the window and tried to escape, but it was too late.
The soul-binding rope was directly wrapped around the ghost's soul, binding it.
When the surrounding ghost energy dissipated, the ghost's soul slowly appeared on the floor of the room. At this time, it was tied up tightly like a zongzi.
At the door, Zhang Chu also saw the ghost and said in surprise, "It turned out that a ghost attacked the ghost-catching Taoist priest. How rampant!"
Fatty Li and the little monk Yuquan have also arrived.
"Brother Yang, what's going on?" Yuquan asked me in surprise.
I simply explained: "It's a ghost, attacking people."
Fatty Li was even more ruthless. He went up to the ghost and circulated his good energy to his legs and feet, then he started punching and kicking the ghost.
"Ah, ah! Stop hitting me. Stop hitting me!..." The ghost made a human voice and cried out in pain.
I went to Master Lou's bed and looked at her. She was fine, but she was weak, and the ghost took advantage of her and knocked her out. I burned the exorcist talisman to ashes, made talisman water, and asked Master Lou to drink it.
"Cough cough!" After coughing several times, Master Lou slowly woke up.
"Brother Li, stop fighting, so as not to attract the attention of other guests in the inn." After Zhang Chu and others entered her and Lou Xiaoman's room, Zhao Xilan hurriedly closed the door and said to Fatty Li.
Only then did Fatty Li stop.
