"Brother, brother.....what's wrong with you?"
Feng Xuan cried sadly, her face full of tears.
Feng Yi wiped Feng Xuan's cheek with his sleeve and comforted her, saying, "Don't cry, don't cry... Sister, brother is fine!"
The two siblings stood there, holding their heads and crying.
I stood there in a daze, feeling a tightness in my heart.
I didn't expect that Feng Yi would care so much about his sister. This is why Feng Yi was willing to be manipulated by the black-faced Taoist priest.
I let out a long sigh, and for a moment I felt mixed emotions.
I started to become indecisive again. If I really brought Feng Yi to justice and sent him to the police station, what would happen to his sister? Wouldn't it be very difficult for a blind person to live without anyone to take care of him
But if Feng Yi is not brought to justice, he has killed so many people. Although Feng Yi manipulated ghosts to harm people, he still harmed people, and even if there are thousands of reasons, this fact cannot be changed.
what to do
For a moment, I began to feel conflicted.
Master Jiang was very calm. He ignored the two siblings hugging each other.
He went to the four little ghosts who were poisoned by ghosts and whose souls were unstable, raised his hand and waved, and several ghost-exorcising talismans flew out of his hand.
The ghost-exorcising talisman burned and hit the four dying souls.
Those four little ghosts are the most evil, and as Taoists, there is no way we can let them go.
Besides, even if we let them go, they won't live long because of the ghost poison in their bodies.
The four monsters were easily killed by Master Jiang.
What Master Jiang didn't expect was that after the soul of one of the snakes dissipated, a fist-sized dark blue crystal appeared on the ground.
Yes, Ghost Blue Crystal!
Master Jiang walked over quickly and picked up the Ghost Blue Crystal from behind.
It is very dangerous to leave the ghost blue crystal here, because it will easily break into pieces if it encounters an impact. The power should not be underestimated!
Master Jiang took out the talisman from the cloth bag and stuck it on the ghost blue crystal to seal it.
He nodded to me and said, "It's Ghost Blue Crystal!"
I still agree with the power of Ghost Blue Crystal. After all, it has a strong restraining and corrosive effect on talismans. And the main means of attack for us Taoists is to launch talismans.
I nodded without saying anything, and went to the side to collect Feng Yi's small pennant, which had turned back to black. This is considered a trophy!
Master Jiang looked at the Feng brother and sister again without saying anything.
He walked up to me and whispered, "Brother Tianyi, the remaining four little ghosts have been killed! Although Feng Yi's crime is unforgivable, we are Taoist priests after all and cannot kill people. The world of the living has its own laws, so we can just hand him over to the police station later."
"Things have come to this point, and he has no choice!"
After that, Master Jiang winked at me and said softly, "Let's go. Didn't Feng Yi say that the black-faced Taoist priest had set up a ghost array in his house? Let's go and take a look! Come back later."
I understand what Master Jiang means. Since we must take Feng Yi away, out of sympathy in our hearts, let's let the two siblings be alone together for a while.
The ghost girl Tong Xue didn't come with me, I arranged for her to help me watch Feng Yi first, I couldn't let Feng Yi have any evil thoughts. I was afraid that he would run away with his sister.
Soon, Master Jiang and I arrived at the dilapidated courtyard of the Feng family.
The door was a wooden door and was open, so Master Jiang and I went straight into the adobe house.
Inside the house, just as Feng Yi had told me before, he had sold all his property to treat his sister's eye disease. His family looked extremely poor. The firewood under the stove was still burning, and rice porridge was cooking in the pot.
That should be the two siblings’ breakfast.
But at this time, the rice porridge in the pot had been burnt dry and mushy.
I subconsciously used the gourd ladle on the stove to scoop a ladle of water from the water tank and poured it into the pot.
There are two rooms in Feng's house. In one room is a fire pit, and on the cabinet inside are some clay Buddhas. Those clay Buddhas were made by Feng Yi, and they are all strange in shape.
There was a padlock on the door of the other room.
Master Jiang's ghost eyes were already open, and he said to me: "This should be the ghost formation that Feng Yi mentioned. Otherwise, with so many ghosts in this house, it is impossible that there is no ghost energy. It seems that the ghost energy has been suppressed by the ghost formation!"
"Um!"
I nodded, and then I found a hammer with an embroidered wooden handle under a cabinet.
I used a hammer to knock off the lock on the door.
Master Jiang pushed open the door of the room.
What we didn't expect was that when Master Jiang pushed open the door, a huge airflow suddenly rushed out from the room.
Master Jiang and I were caught off guard and were both hit by the air flow.
Master Jiang fell to the ground and hit the cabinet. Many clay Buddha statues on the cabinet fell to the ground when the cabinet shook, breaking into pieces and shattering all over the ground.
"Damn it! What happened?"
I muttered something.
Master Jiang guessed, "Maybe the ghost formation inside is protecting itself, because it's afraid of people getting close! It seems to be a trick of the black-faced Taoist priest!"
"So what do we do now?"
Master Jiang thought for a moment and said, "The ghost formation is just a formation set up by the black-faced Taoist priest. It is much less powerful than the 'yin eye' found in Fengmen Village. I think with the destructive power of the ghost blue crystal, it should be able to break the ghost formation!"
I thought about it and felt that it was right, so I said, "It's OK to use ghost blue crystal, but if the ghost array is broken, the destructive force generated won't raze the Feng family's house to the ground, right?!"
Master Jiang shook his head and said, "No! Although the ghost blue crystal is quite powerful when it hits, the scope of its explosion is not large... At most, even if it really blows up the Feng family's house, we can just pay some money. I was wondering what the black-faced Taoist priest was doing by using Feng Yi's concubine to seize the woman's Yin Yuan?"
The result of my discussion with Master Jiang is to use Ghost Blue Crystal to break the ghost formation directly.
Just do it when you think of it, and worry about whether it succeeds or not.
Then I stood farther away.
Master Jiang took out the sealed ghost blue crystal from the cloth bag.
After tearing off the sealing talisman, Master Jiang kicked open the door of the room and threw Ghost Blue Crystal directly into the room.
At this time, the ghost formation in the room began to protect itself again, releasing a huge airflow.
At this time, Ghost Lan Jing was also thrown out by Master Jiang.
Two destructive things collided with each other in an instant.
There was a loud "boom".
The whole adobe house was shaking. Dust from the roof fell down sparsely, making Master Jiang and I covered in dust. But fortunately, the whole house was intact.
Master Jiang wiped the dust off his face with his sleeve and motioned to me, "Let's go in and take a look!"
Then Master Jiang and I slowly walked into the room.
The room was dark, empty, not even the most basic furnishings. The chandelier hanging in the middle was blown apart, leaving only a rope.
In the center of the room, there was a splintered wooden board.
When I walked over, I found that there was a cellar under the wooden board.
"It's a hole!"
I turned around and said to Master Jiang.
Master Jiang kicked away the scattered wooden boards above the cellar, and at the same time he took out a flashlight from the cloth bag.
The flashlight shines into the cellar
When we got inside, Master Jiang and I were both stunned.
Because Master Jiang and I actually discovered a gorgeous flower in the cellar.
The flowers, petals and even leaves are all pitch black.
How is it possible for such a flower to exist
According to the scientific theory of the world, if flowers want to survive, sunlight, rain, and air are indispensable. But this flower plant growing in the cellar has probably never seen the sun.
The most important thing is that flowers contain anthocyanins.
Anthocyanins are the main element that make up the petals and fruits. Look at the black flower, its bud is also completely black. This is unusual!
The flower grew on the soil of the cellar, and the whole plant exuded an eerie atmosphere.
A bud has appeared above the flower, but it will probably take some time for the bud to bloom.
"What kind of flower is that? Why have I never seen it before?"
Master Jiang said in surprise.
And I was already lost in thought.
Because of the appearance of that flower, I learned about it from a description of a bouquet of flowers in the underworld in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes.
The entire flower plant is black in color and emits a foul smell. It can only survive by relying on the Yin Yuan Qi.
Through this description in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes, I have been able to confirm that the flower under the cellar is the "Dream Drunken Flower".
The characteristic of the dream-intoxicating flower is that after it blooms, it can produce a fragrance that makes people fall into a deep sleep.
The Yin-Yang Soul-Ferrying Notes says that the fragrance of that flower can make people enter a very mysterious state or feeling, and even communicate between Yin and Yang.
If you think about it this way, the Black-Faced Taoist probably planted the Drunken Dream Flowers here with the intention of waiting for the flowers to bloom and then using the fragrance of the flowers to assist him in practicing Taoism or ghost magic.
In fact, the Yin-Yang Soul-Ferrying Notes also introduced that Taoist magic is not only used to catch ghosts. Some Taoist magic can enable people to reach a transcendent state and even escape the cycle of life and death.
Otherwise, why would there be those monks or Taoists who practice diligently in some Taoist temples
They probably also mastered some kind of Taoist magic, and wanted to see through yin and yang and transcend reincarnation through practice.
I said to Master Jiang in a deep voice: "That is the Dream-Drunken Flower!"
Master Jiang didn't know about the Drunken Dream Flower because he had never heard of this flower.
The Yin-Yang Soul-Ferrying Notes also said that the Drunken Dream Flower might have become extinct in the world of the living.
I didn’t expect that Master Jiang and I would see this here.
I told Master Jiang about the Drunken Dream Flower. Of course, I couldn't let him know about the Yin Yang Soul Notes, I just said that my master once mentioned the Drunken Dream Flower.
Master Jiang seemed very excited when he heard what I said.
Because as Taoists, besides catching ghosts, our job is to cultivate our body and mind. If there really is such a flower that can make people enter a mysterious realm, perhaps our Taoist skills will be greatly enhanced.
Taoism does not only refer to the amount of good karma one has, but also includes the understanding of Taoism and the cognition of all things in the world.
"Brother Tianyi, you are such a lucky star! ... ... I feel like my luck is soaring when I'm with you!"
"Before it was the black-bearded fruit, and now we have discovered the legendary Drunken Dream Flower you mentioned. This is too incredible! If Master Chu and Master Qi knew about this, I'm afraid they would fight over this Drunken Dream Flower."
I smiled bitterly and said to Master Jiang, "Master Jiang, don't be too happy too soon. Although the Drunken Dream Flower has already blossomed, it will probably take some time for it to bloom. Moreover, if the Drunken Dream Flower is not nourished by the Yin Yuan Qi, it will wither! We are upright Taoist priests, so it is naturally impossible for us to seize a woman's Yin Yuan! If that were the case, we would be no different from that black-faced Taoist priest!"
It’s really a bit troublesome now. I found the Drunken Dream Flower, but I don’t know what to do.
