I nodded and said, "If that's the case, that would be great!"
Qi Chen stared at the female ghost Guan Xintong in the bronze mirror with affection.
Guan Xintong also stared at him silently.
After a while, Guan Xintong looked at me and said, "Master, can you let me out? I want to get out of the bronze mirror. I have been trapped in this bronze mirror for more than a year. It is simply a cage. I want freedom."
Qi Chen also looked at me expectantly.
I thought about it and asked Guan Xintong, "Do you know what kind of spell the ghost-catching Taoist priest cast on the bronze mirror?"
Guan Xintong shook her head and said, "I don't know. But I can use ghost energy to evolve that kind of symbol."
I said, “That’s fine too.”
Afterwards, Guan Xintong blew a breath at the bronze mirror. As the ghost energy from her mouth pounced on the bronze mirror, a strange symbol slowly emerged above the bronze mirror.
I know that symbol. It's a sealing rune called "Sealing Technique".
Yuquan obviously knew it too, and reminded me, "Brother Yang, it's a sealing technique!"
Regarding the sealing technique, the Yin Yang Soul Crossing Notes has a very detailed record. I will not go into details one by one. As for the cracking of the sealing technique, there are also several methods. For me now, the simplest method is to use blood as a guide to reverse the sealing technique. This will be able to crack this sealing technique.
"Master Yang, is there any way to release Xintong's soul?" Qi Chen asked worriedly.
I nodded and said, "No problem, don't worry."
Then, I took the bronze mirror from Qi Chen's hand and bit my middle finger.
My middle finger was bitten and bleeding immediately. I pointed my finger at the bronze mirror and began to draw the runes according to the steps of the "Sealing Technique" runes I remembered.
When drawing talismans, whether on yellow paper or on other objects, it needs to be done in one go in order for the talisman to have the desired effect.
My fingers moved back and forth on the bronze mirror. In about eight minutes, a blood-colored seal symbol was drawn on the bronze mirror. The symbol was not very beautiful, like a ghost painting.
Then, I made a sword finger with my right hand and pointed it at the bronze mirror, and a stream of good energy suddenly shot onto the bronze mirror.
The Qi of Yin De was injected into the seal, and suddenly, the seal turned bright red, and the runes continued to seep into the bronze mirror. Not long after, I heard a muffled "click!" sound, as if something had broken.
I know that my method worked.
The seal has been broken.
"Master, thank you. I can already sense the air outside. I can go out."
As he spoke, a black shadow rushed out from the bronze mirror at an incredible speed.
The shadow gradually formed beside the bed in the bedroom, but because it was a ghost, it still seemed a little unreal. It was undoubtedly Guan Xintong's ghost.
"Xintong, you're out, this... is great!"
Qi Chen was a little excited and rushed over to hug Guan Xintong.
What he didn't expect was that his body passed directly through Guan Xintong's soul.
Qi Chen failed to hug Guan Xintong, but instead hit his head on the window sill.
"hey-hey!"
When the mischievous boy Duoduo saw this scene, he laughed out loud with some schadenfreude.
A smile also appeared on Yuquan's face.
I looked at Qi Chen who was covering his forehead and said, "You can't hug Guan Xintong yet. Her soul is very weak and can't be touched."
Guan Xintong was a little worried about Qi Chen, so she leaned over and asked, "Qi Chen, how are you? Are you hurt?"
Qi Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I'm fine."
Guan Xintong's ghost hand had already touched Qi Chen's cheek.
Although Qi Chen can't touch Guan Xin
Tong, but Guan Xintong's ghost hand can touch Qi Chen. Logically, the touch should be mutual. But humans and ghosts are different after all.
Qi Chen's eyes once again filled with tears, and he choked up and said, "Xintong, it's so good to see you again. You know, when I heard the news that you fell off the cliff and died, I almost went crazy. It's been more than a year, and I'm still thinking about you in my heart. I didn't expect that we would finally meet today."
Guan Xintong was also very sad, with tears streaming down her face.
In the past, if I saw ghost tears, I might find a porcelain bottle to collect some of them and keep them for use or go to the ghost market to exchange them for money. But now, I have become more open-minded and have seen more ghosts, and I know that ghost tears are not that rare.
Besides, at this moment, I don’t want to ruin the atmosphere between the young couple.
I made a gesture to Yuquan.
But Yuquan didn't understand what I meant and asked me, "Brother Yang, what's wrong with you?"
I glared at Yuquan and whispered, "It's okay, let's go out first. Let them be alone for a while."
Yuquan suddenly realized and smiled awkwardly.
After that, I left the bedroom with Yuquan and the troublemaker Duoduo.
Outside the bedroom, I asked Duoduo to try to find the Taiyin Pearl, but she couldn't find it.
Qi Chen and Guan Xintong stayed in the bedroom for more than ten minutes, and then Qi Chen came out. Guan Xintong's ghost was floating next to him, and it seemed that the man and the ghost got along very well.
"Master Yang, aren't you looking for Guan Xinrui? It just so happens that I also want to find her. I can take you to where the ghost-catching Taoist priest is right now." Guan Xintong said.
"Okay! In that case, let's go."
It was a little after one in the afternoon, when the sun was at its hottest. At my suggestion, I collected Guan Xintong's ghost and Duoduo's ghost into the soul collecting bucket.
After leaving Qing'an Apartment, we took a taxi.
In the car, Qi Chen asked me indirectly whether he could stay with Guan Xintong's ghost forever. I told him directly that he couldn't.
When he heard what I said, a look of loss appeared on his face.
As the saying goes, people and ghosts have different paths. People are people, ghosts are ghosts. Although there are ways to make people and ghosts stay together, this is definitely not a long-term solution. If that happens, people will be affected by the ghosts, and the ghosts themselves will also change.
Guan Xintong told us that the name of the ghost-catching Taoist priest was "Master Wude" and he lived in Wuzang Temple. When I heard the name "Master Wude", I couldn't help laughing in my heart, thinking, he is really without virtue.
Guan Xintong told us that the Master Wude was the ghost-catching Taoist priest who had captured her soul and sealed it in a bronze mirror. In addition, Master Wude had ordered a ghost to secretly peel off Guan Xintong's face before her body was cremated.
In other words, the Venerable Wude raised a ghost.
As for the relationship between Guan Xinrui and Master Wude, Guan Xintong didn't know.
However, Guan Xintong guessed that the Master Wude might have some intentions towards Guan Xinrui. The reason why Guan Xinrui's "ghost body constitution" was so mature was because of the Master Wude's mischief.
Wuzang Temple is located on a small hill east of Dongling County. The temple is not big and used to be popular, but after several villages near the temple were relocated a few years ago, Wuzang Temple has lost its popularity.
We got off the car on a dirt road and the driver didn't go any further.
I found out after asking him that he said that there had been a lot of trouble in Wuzangmiao recently, and that many people had died and several female corpses had been found. Although the female corpses were not in Wuzangmiao, some people said that it was because of Wuzangmiao, and that Wuzangmiao was very evil.
When I heard this, I thought that maybe that Wude Master was causing trouble and controlling ghosts to kill people.
But press
It is reasonable to say that ordinary ghost-catching Taoist priests, even those of evil sects, would not harm people casually, as that would damage their virtue. Unless they have a purpose, they would not act in this way.
As I saw the taxi leave, I released Guan Xintong and Duoduo.
At the same time, I gave them each a "light-avoiding talisman".
The light-avoiding talisman, this kind of talisman, is not very effective, it can only protect ghosts from the light. Otherwise, in this bright sun, Duoduo is lucky that she is already an evil ghost and can resist the scorching sun, but Guan Xintong, whose soul is weak, may not be able to do so.
After I released the two ghosts, I turned my head and told a few people, "Wait, everyone be careful when we rush to Wuzangmiao. I heard from the driver that someone died in Wuzangmiao recently, and it might be related to Master Wude. We have to be careful. Master Wude might be a demon who kills people without blinking an eye. This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with."
Several people nodded in agreement.
Soon we followed the road and after walking for more than ten minutes, we saw the hill and the temple.
Wuzangmiao was indeed as Guan Xintong said, very dilapidated. It looked like the size of a house, and half of the structure had collapsed, so it was hard to say whether it was habitable.
That Wude Master actually stayed here, there must be a conspiracy. You know, most ghost-catching Taoist priests, if they have a little ability, will have no worries about food and drink.
For example, when I first became a ghost-catching Taoist priest, I received a lot of rewards, and I haven’t spent it all yet.
There is basically no grass or trees on the mountain, and a winding path leads to the top of the mountain.
There were almost no traces of footsteps on the path, which meant that few people came here.
Just when we were about to reach the top of the mountain, we found a small tree in front of us.
It was a locust tree, not very tall, and there was a bird's nest on it.
The strange thing is that there is no grass growing within a few meters of the locust tree. There are also some small animals and mice that died nearby.
A mouse was smelly, its eyes looked like they had been gouged out, shrunken, and a lot of ants gathered on its hairy, wrinkled fur.
Those ants were gnawing on the mouse's corpse. The mouse's tail was gone, probably because it was eaten by the ants.
I also saw maggots on the mice, some of which even crawled out of their eye sockets.
"Master Yang, how could this happen? So many animals died here... Look at those animal carcasses, they are really disgusting!"
Qi Chen covered his mouth and nose with a nauseous look.
I don’t understand Feng Shui, but there is a lot of information about Feng Shui in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes.
I took a look at the surrounding terrain, and then my face sank.
I said to Yuquan and Qi Chen, "This is not a good place. It is a place that is 'negative of the sun and embraces the moon' and is prone to attracting ghosts. I think the Wuzang Temple built on this hill should have played a role in suppressing ghosts. But now the Wuzang Temple is abandoned and the incense has stopped burning. It is difficult to suppress ghosts anymore."
"Plus, that half-dead locust tree was clearly planted there intentionally. The purpose was probably to attract ghosts. The feng shui of this place has been broken, and it has now become a '** place'. We should encounter a lot of trouble later."
Just after I finished speaking, there was a "flutter" sound, and a black bird suddenly flew up from the locust tree.
The black bird is a crow.
What surprised me was that the crow had three heads.
“Ga ga ga!”
The shrill cries of crows echoed on the hill.
I hurriedly said, "Oh no! We've been discovered! The crow is sounding the alarm. I'm afraid that Master Wude has already known we are coming."
