Chen Yang and Du Shuo drove to the Miyun Haunted House. On the way, Chen Yang said, "Can Kou Xuanling deal with Fang Wenwen alone? The ghost arts have been lost for many years, and the methods are treacherous. I'm worried that he can't handle it."
Fang Wenwen's brother was injured by Mao Xiaoli's Five Thunder Talisman, and he probably knew that Feng Yuan and his team had invited the Heavenly Master. They would probably take action tonight. Feng Yuan and Wei Changping went to Fang Wenwen's villa, while Ge Qing and Ma Qiqi stayed in the villa.
Fang Wenwen and her brother were to be dealt with by Kou Xuanling, while Mao Xiaoli was responsible for protecting the two girls. Fang Wenwen was a ghost, and she would definitely send the ghosts to kill Ge Qing and Ma Qiqi and peel off their skins.
The little ghost was handed over to Mao Xiaoli, who could handle it with her talent. As for Fang Wenwen, the witch who could set up the Fire Sin Formation was definitely not a good person.
Du Shuo: "Kou Xuanling started to kill evil spirits with his tribe at the age of fifteen, and was invited to join the headquarters at the age of twenty. Although he is stubborn in some aspects, there is no need to worry about his ability to catch ghosts."
Chen Yang: "I thought you would stay."
After all, he is a ghost cultivator, and his specialties include suppressing ghosts, controlling ghosts, and killing ghosts. He can deal with the evil spirits hidden in the Miyun Haunted House by himself.
"In the past three years, including this time, I have only received three orders."
Chen Yang was silent for a long time. After that, he advised in a heavy tone: "You won't get promoted if you pretend to obey but disobey."
"…" Emperor Beiyin sometimes felt that he couldn't have a good chat with his little wife. He sighed helplessly in his heart: "I didn't intend to take this order, but I took it because I thought of your appointment."
"I thought so." Chen Yang had an expression of 'as expected' on his face: "The headquarters is full of talented people, but the branch only has four employees. Even if we want to alleviate poverty, we can't give 10 million to the branch."
As he spoke, he began to laugh, like a cat stealing some fish.
Chen Yang grabbed Du Shuo's sleeve, his eyebrows curved, his eyes were like a pool of honey. "No one can rival my backer."
Du Shuokong reached out and pinched Chen Yang's neck lovingly: "Yeah."
"However," Chen Yang said with a serious expression, "people who get something for nothing and eat all day will eventually be laid off. No boss or subordinate likes people who just sit there doing nothing."
Du Shuo paused in pinching Chen Yang, silently withdrew his hand, took out a can of juice from the storage box and handed it to him.
"Drink some juice."
Persuasion should be done in moderation, otherwise it will backfire. Chen Yang understood this principle very well, so he opened the juice, put it into the straw, and took a big sip of the juice and fruit. The sweet taste made him feel better: "Would you like to drink a sip?"
Du Shuo shook his head and refused.
After Chen Yang finished his juice, he reached for the storage box. He saw chocolates and various candies in it, and he glanced at Du Shuo from the corner of his eye. The latter drove without looking away, and Chen Yang grabbed a handful of candies and was about to take them back.
Then he heard Du Shuo say coldly: "Three pills a day."
Chen Yang paused for a moment, then put down the other candies as if nothing had happened, leaving only five in his hand: "I no longer have cavities."
People who love sweets and have little self-control usually have cavities. When the worms in the cavities attack, it hurts so much that tears well up in your eyes. Chen Yang ate sweets without restraint without knowing Du Shuo's knowledge, which led to cavities. He rolled around in pain in the middle of the night. After having a tooth filled, he was restricted in the amount of sweets he could eat.
"Either put it back and don't eat it today. Or leave three."
Chen Yang curled his lips and put the two back. He peeled one and put it in his mouth, hiding the remaining two, and would peel them all at once and put them in his mouth to celebrate after the matter was resolved.
When we arrived at Bulaotun Town, it was getting dark.
Chen Yang looked down at the time, it was around six o'clock.
According to the navigation, the car continued to move forward, and the farther it went, the fewer people lived there. When the people in the town who were enjoying the cool air saw the direction the car was heading, they knew that it was another stranger who came to explore the haunted house, and they were no longer surprised.
"There is a god above your head. If you don't respect the common people, you should respect ghosts and gods."
Chen Yang seemed to sense something and turned to look. The bustling town behind him was soon left far behind, with no houses or people in sight.
The car broke down halfway, but fortunately they could already see the haunted house from where they were standing, looming in the ancient locust trees. The sun had not yet set, but the villa not far away seemed to be immersed in darkness.
Seeing it from afar, one can feel the desolation and fear gripping the heart, making one terrified even to breathe.
"Such a strong yin energy."
Du Shuo got out of the car, walked to Chen Yang, raised his hand and put it on his shoulder, and leaned over to kiss him when Chen Yang happened to turn his head. After kissing him, he left: "Too sweet, try another brand next time."
Chen Yang: "It's broad daylight, please control yourself."
Du Shuo turned around, his eyes dim, "Do you need to be restrained when eating candy?"
It's unclear whether the sugar he's referring to is candy or a person.
Chen Yang put his fist to his lips and coughed a few times: "Old couples still play this game..."
He was muttering in disgust, but the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.
The haunted house is a three-story villa with a garden. The garden is full of ancient locust trees, which have dense branches and leaves and branches that look like human figures. The closer you get, the stronger the yin energy becomes and the lower the temperature becomes.
The air was as quiet as death, not even the sound of insects could be heard. It was simply the standard setting for a haunted house.
Chen Yang pushed open the iron door. The lock on the door was just a decoration. The iron door made a creaking sound, which was particularly clear in the quiet environment. When he stepped in, a rough and unpleasant crow suddenly sounded in the air.
Chen Yang looked up and saw a group of black birds flying out from the ancient locust trees not far away and flying into the distance. Against the backdrop of the pale sky and the dilapidated and gloomy villa, an ominous atmosphere was revealed.
"The decline of the Ghost Path and the prevalence of the Heavenly Master Path is not only due to the strict requirements for practicing the Ghost Path, but also because those who practice the Ghost Path cannot control their greed."
Practicing the Ghost Dao can control ghosts. Even a Heavenly Master cannot control himself from using Taoist magic and ghosts to make profits for himself, not to mention the Ghost Dao whose ability to control ghosts is stronger than that of the Heavenly Master. When the Ghost Dao was popular, raising ghosts also became popular.
After you have a ghost, you will become more and more dependent on it, more and more greedy, and easily go astray. It is not the right path, and it will eventually damage your virtue. Just like Fang Wenwen, who was once a well-respected witch in Shu, isn't she the one who has killed so many people now
Chen Yang: "By the way, today is the third day. You haven't mentioned the third keyword yet."
Du Shuo: "Skull under the clothes."
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "I was wondering what kind of evil spirit it was, so cruel and yet so smart. It turns out to be a skeleton."
A skeleton is the remains of a person after death. The person was originally a person when alive. After death, due to fate, he became a spirit. He sucked flesh and blood to enrich his own flesh and blood, while still retaining the wisdom he had before death.
It is recorded in Youyang Zazu that during the Tang Dynasty, Jiang Chugong visited the Chanding Temple and saw a beautiful girl who never showed her hands. Someone pulled her clothes off and saw a skeleton underneath. It turned out that the skeleton had become a spirit and sneaked into the banquet to suck people's blood and enrich its own flesh and blood. It is also recorded in Taiping Guangji that a little girl performing in the market had her linen clothes pulled off and a skeleton was underneath.
It can be seen that skeletons becoming spirits have existed since ancient times, and skeletons that have become spirits love to get into the crowd and suck blood. They are usually seen with plump muscles on their faces and limbs like ordinary people, but under their clothes are skeletons.
Chen Yang stopped and turned back suddenly: "Are you cheating me?"
Du Shuo had said that he would give Chen Yang a hint of a keyword every day, so that he could guess the prototype of the evil spirit. Now that he himself said the prototype of the evil spirit, it could not be considered that Chen Yang had guessed it.
In other words, Chen Yang lost.
"That's a lot of nonsense." Du Shuo said, "I'll teach you the principles by practicing them myself."
Chen Yang was angry: "You are just stingy with rewards!"
Du Shuo: "You will get the same reward, but half of it will be deducted."
Half is better than nothing.
"What's the reward?"
Du Shuo was about to speak when he looked up and saw a tumor as big as a head growing on an ancient locust tree in front of him. The tumor slowly split open and grew facial features that resembled a human, which looked extremely terrifying.
Chen Yang took off the red string from his wrist, held one end in each hand and whipped the tumor fiercely, directly cracking the entire ancient locust tree, and the tumor was also broken. With screams, the tree collapsed, revealing the bones under the roots and the corpse that had not yet been completely corroded.
There were also some hair, teeth and torn clothes underneath, which clearly showed that it was the person eaten by the ancient locust tree.
When Chen Yang saw it, he whipped the ghost locust tree without saying a word, and it scared the hell out of it. In an instant, the sound of wind in the ancient locust tree forest became more and more terrifying. It seemed that the ghost inside sensed the danger.
"Want to run?"
The whole ancient locust tree forest was filled with evil spirits, killing many innocent passers-by. Chen Yang first beat them to death, and with strange and light steps, he accurately found the possessed ghost locust tree and attached the talisman.
He stepped on the ground, turned around and raised his hand to make a gesture: "... The Ghost Emperor has ordered that the evil be slain and the spirits be destroyed... All evil ghosts and gods who bring disaster will be killed by the Five Thunders, and must not move, hurry and follow the order."
The five thunder talismans worked separately, blowing the locust tree with the wandering ghosts into two pieces. At the same time, the wandering ghosts were blown to ashes. Thunder and fire were originally feared by all ghosts. Chen Yang's Five Thunder General Talisman used the Five Thunder Talisman to the extreme.
Du Shuo walked over slowly and asked: "Have you improved the Five Thunder Talisman?"
"I've seen Mao Xiaoli use it a few times, and it works pretty well. Large-scale lightning strikes are the easiest."
"Ghost Emperor's order?"
"After all, I practice ghost Taoism, so I'm afraid that inviting the Taoist ancestor to help me won't be that powerful."
"Why not invite the Emperor of Fengdu?"
Is a mere Ghost Emperor as powerful as him
Chen Yang: "Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"
Du Shuo's mood strangely improved.
The two men walked to the door of the villa, but before they could do anything, the door opened. It was pitch black inside, like a giant man-eating beast.
Chen Yang: "Are you provoking us?"
Arrogant.
The two walked in side by side, and the door slammed shut behind them. The dark villa suddenly lit up with blue-green ghost lights, illuminating the old furnishings covered with spider silk. The door was facing the stairs, and a huge portrait was hung on the stairs.
The portrait showed four people with grim faces.
"Welcome...guest."
A rough and hoarse voice sounded, and Chen Yang turned his head to look over. Three evil monsters with skeletons under their clothes but plump faces and hands were sitting on the sofa on the left, staring at them.
On the table was a corpse with only the skull, hair, teeth and limbs exposed. Next to it was a backpack and a camera. It was probably a traveler who came to explore, but was eaten.
The younger one should be the eldest brother of the Fang family. He walked out and said, "The flesh of a Heavenly Master should be different from that of ordinary people."
Chen Yang whipped the demon in front of him with a red whip, almost breaking it apart: "Too much nonsense."
The three demons all changed their expressions, their skin and flesh fell off and turned into white bones. One of them had bones that were almost bloody. The red line whipped past, like hitting steel and iron bones, leaving only a faint mark.
"… The Five Ghost Emperors and the Seventy-two Departments, upon hearing my order, immediately descend in their true form. Follow my orders and quickly capture the evil spirits. Hurry and follow the orders of the Great Emperor of Fengdu, the Mysterious Heaven of the North Yin."
