Sword of Coming

On both sides of the mountain path, white paper lanterns with no high branches to rely on were suspended in the air, swaying in the wind, and had long since turned into red lanterns. The blood was rolling like boiling water, and the splashing blood beads kept hitting the lanterns, making a scary crackling sound. sound.

The ghost in the wedding dress was sobbing and sobbing to herself, never willing to put down her hands, and did not take the Yin God in her eyes at all.

Yin Shen's mind moved slightly, and he told Lin Shouyi with the secret technique of his heart's voice that if the young man had a chance, he would use the barrier-breaking talisman belonging to the mountain qi talisman. Next, he would try his best to entangle the female ghost. Once the "Yellow Spring Road" is broken, he will bring him with him. Chen Pingan just hurried out of the mountain and ignored him. Remember not to take the mountain road under his feet anymore, and asked Chen Pingan to use the auspicious talisman to open a new road.

After Lin Shouyi agreed, he tentatively asked if he needed to leave the famous sword and auspicious talisman for him. Yin Shen shook his head and said that he couldn't pick it up at all. The sword energy was too heavy and it was best used to clear the way. The grass and trees were stained with the sword energy that was upright and glorious, and the sun and moon were innately restrained by Yin objects, which was not conducive to the opponent's continued use of ghost tricks.

The ghost in the wedding dress spread her hands outward, revealing a pale face without any trace of blood, and said with a sinister smile: "First you come uninvited, and then you leave without saying goodbye. This is not what a gentleman would do."

The Yin God's face blurred, melting quickly like a candle, and finally turned into a ball of billowing smoke as black as ink, rushing towards the wedding ghost.

She raised her hands and waved her sleeves, and her sleeves were spread out, as big as bird wings, in front of her body.

The female ghost was still knocked back seven or eight feet in an instant. The bright red lanterns on the way back exploded one by one. The blood in the lanterns did not spatter and scatter in the mountains, but flew towards the female ghost who was knocked back by the Yin God. On the other side of the ghost, it is like a swallow returning to its nest. The situation is similar to the old Taoist's soul-calling banner, which absorbs the essence of the remaining souls of yin objects.

Lin Shouyi said in a deep voice: "Be prepared to follow me. First we will fork out the mountain road. Chen Ping'an, next we have to carve a new road out of the mountain between the trees. Senior Yin Shen wants you to use the auspicious talisman knife. open circuit."

Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "I'm going to carry the old Taoist on my back. I can't just die without saving him."

The blind Taoist was lying a dozen steps away, dying.

Chen Pingan rushed over, picked up the poor old Taoist on his back and turned around.

Lin Shou stood still, twisted out a yellow paper talisman with his fingers, and recited something in a low voice.

It is the barrier-breaking talisman, one of the landscape talismans. According to the explanation of the Yin God, there are thousands of kinds of landscape talismans, and they are one of the necessary talismans for Qi practitioners to enter mountains and waters when they travel far away. To guard against the so-called ghosts beating the wall, they are actually worried about being trapped in the mountain protection formation secretly set up by colleagues, or afraid of the mischief caused by profound mountain ghosts, especially when entering places such as ancient battlefield sites and mass graves. , Ordinary monks, if they don’t have a few Obstacle Breaking Talisman, Yang Qi Lamp Talisman, and Three Purities and Calm Mind Talisman nearby, they will simply fall into a trap.

Lin Shou suddenly opened his eyes. A golden light flashed deep in the young man's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's follow the talisman."

I saw the barrier-breaking talisman between the young man's fingers floating away, hanging in the air at a person's height, and then began to sway, like a drunken man trying to find his way.

Fu Lu came to the side of the road near the mountain wall and hovered still. Li Huai asked: "Are we going to run headfirst into it?"

Lin Shou took the first step forward, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

Li Baoping and Li Huai walked in one after another, and Chen Pingan finally disappeared on the mountain road with the old Taoist on his back and the donkey.

The yellow paper talisman originally wanted to follow him in, but it seemed to be pulled quietly by someone, and its spiritual energy faded away, and it fell to the ground slumped.

A group of people appeared deep in a dense forest, looking at each other. Even Lin Shouyi, who used the barrier-breaking talisman himself, was a little confused.

Chen Pingan first asked Lin Shouyi to help carry the old Taoist on his back, while he began to climb the big tree and looked around from the highest point, as if they were in a mountain valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. Even Chen Pingan's eyesight could not see clearly, only A vague general vision.

Before leaving the mountain road, in the distance of the mountain road, the battle between the Yin God and the Wedding Girl Ghost was in full swing, and the sound of bursting lanterns was endless and could be heard.

After walking out of the mountain road with the barrier-breaking talisman, there was complete silence. The surroundings were dead silent, without any sound. The huge gap did not make Li Huai feel at ease, but made him even more frightened.

Chen Ping'an took a deep breath and held the Xiangfu narrow knife in his hand. "No matter what, go to the south, only there are no mountains to block it."

In a mountain col with towering ancient trees, there are row upon row of high-rise buildings. The mansions are splendid and have a size that surpasses that of the generals and ministers in the world. I am afraid that only the mansions of the princes and counties can rival it.

This mansion has a gold plaque with the words "Beautiful water and high wind" hanging high, and the writing is as powerful as an immortal writing. Outside the gate, there are a pair of huge stone lions on both sides, both as tall as two people. One lion stretches out its paws to hold down a life-size stone child in a majestic posture.

There was an old man in a green shirt carrying a big red lantern, and the air was rippled as the old man walked out of it.

It was the doctor who worshiped the officials of the Qing Dynasty in the Dali Ministry of Rites Temple.

The old man sighed and frowned. He obviously felt that this visit would be troublesome. He inserted the lantern in his hand under the feet of a stone lion. Almost instantly, the deserted mansion, which was originally gloomy and without any light, shone brightly. Nearly a thousand lanterns, high, low, far and near, were lit at the same time.

Countless doors were pushed open, and people who looked like beautiful women, old stewards, grooms and cooks, maids and maids, and nursing staff came out. There were no less than a hundred people, as if they had received instructions from the head of the family at the same time to start working.

It's just that almost all of these people have pale faces and dull eyes.

In a garden, a lame boy and a round-faced girl cuddled against each other, leaning against the foot of the wall.

The lame boy was bleeding from all his orifices and was seriously injured. Even if he was allowed to leave, he probably wouldn't be able to walk a few steps. Previously, in order to deal with the astonishing ghost of a married woman, the boy pulled the banner and let the four silver "subduing demons and catching ghosts" Entering the talisman into the acupoints of one's face is an insidious method that can extremely damage one's divine will and soul.

The little girl scratched her skin several times and lost a lot of blood. Even now, coupled with the foul smell of some female ghosts, the little girl is still a little dizzy and nauseated.

When the lantern was lit, the lame boy's face became even more ugly, and he quickly reached out to cover the little girl's eyes.

In the sight of the young man, rotten bones were exposed. Only half of the body was exposed on the ground. They were densely packed, like vegetables planted in a vegetable garden. There were no fewer than forty or fifty bones.

The lame boy was a little desperate.

Because in one of the corpses, the bones centered on the back turned out to be pale gold, while the bones of the limbs were as white as jade. It already showed the appearance of a middle-level fifth-level monk with "golden branches and jade leaves", and according to the blind old Taoist, only Among the middle five realms, only great qi practitioners with very high floors can achieve such a scene of blossoming branches and leaves. A wild qi practitioner like Lao Tao who can barely touch the threshold of the middle five realms has not even practiced the golden branch. Come out, let alone Yuye.

No wonder he lost so miserably.

The disparity in strength is too great.

At the entrance of the mansion, the middle door opened wide, welcoming one of the three most powerful doctors in Dali with a grand ceremony.

However, the old man did not cross the threshold. Instead, he sat on the threshold, looked at the broad street outside the mansion, and said softly: "Mrs. Chu, can you listen to my advice and not embarrass those young girls?"

The big red lantern lying at the feet of the stone lion outside the door began to shake violently.

On the lantern, someone wrote the four characters "soul comes and goes" written in ink. As the lantern floated widely, traces of bright red light rippled out.

The old man emphasized his tone and reminded: "Mrs. Chu! Once something happens to those children in your territory, let alone your mansion, even us Da Li will suffer together."

It's a pity that there is no news.

The old man was a little angry, "Mrs. Chu!"

There was an old man who looked like an old steward standing in the door, wearing a felt hat, with his hands behind his back, hunched over and coughing, and laughed softly: "It has been countless years since Da Li designated this mountain and river as my lady's territory, lady. We have always been at peace with you in Dali. Even in the long years before I took up the stewardship, I heard that my young lady was once kind to a certain ancestor of your Dali emperor. Now we still have that piece of landscape in our house. Where is Yongmu's golden book and iron certificate? After that unfortunate incident happened, from your late emperor to the current emperor, everyone also acquiesced in my young lady's act of venting her anger. Why can't it be done today?"

The old man in green shirt stood up, turned to look at the old man in felt hat, and said slowly: "Not only is it not possible today, but also the matter of killing a passing scholar will not be allowed in the future! I will tell Mrs. Chu face to face the reason, but if Mrs. Chu is If you don’t want to stop and don’t want to see me, then don’t blame me, Da Li, for not remembering our old friendship!”

The old steward patted his chest, stopped coughing, and said with a smile: "Da Li's mountains are in turmoil now. Unless Master Ruan takes action himself, my young lady really has nothing to fear from anyone. Even if she can't defeat some of the secret offerings of your Da Li court, But Miss really wants to hide, are you really brave enough to dig out hundreds of miles of mountain roots in one go and cut off the Xiuhua River at the same time? Aren’t you afraid that doing so will implicate Qidun Mountain and the Lizhu Cave Sky?"

The old man in green shirt had a gloomy expression on his face, "Our Lord, we are not those Dali priests with arrogance as big as the sky. He has always been the most disgusted with others trying to push their limits."

The door slowly closed, and the old steward stood on the threshold, narrowing his eyes and smiling: "My lady has spoken and asked you, Da Li, to give it a try."

"Then give it a try!"

The doctor of the Ministry of Rites of Dali shook his head. He was also a straightforward person. He stopped talking and walked directly down the steps, took back the red lantern and threw it into the sky.

His figure disappeared.

The lantern rose into the sky like a red moon.

On the street in front of the mansion, Chen Pingan and his party stood there with heavy hearts.

No one expected that they would suddenly arrive in front of this wealthy mansion from the mountains and dense forests.

Chen Ping'an was responsible for overcoming thorns and obstacles along the way and opening the way with auspicious symbols. At this time, he was also a little out of breath. His physical strength was not great, but it was more due to the burden on his mind.

The blind old Taoist Lin Shouyi was carrying suddenly stopped pretending to be dead and slapped himself in the face. The old Taoist said with tears: "I didn't expect this female ghost to be so terrifying. The poor Taoist actually took the initiative to provoke her and even thought about killing her." Killing demons and demons is really blind, but these dog eyes are not blind in vain..."

Lin Shouyi was startled and quickly put the old Taoist down from his back.

Li Huai hid behind Li Baoping. Li Baoping turned pale, tugged on Chen Ping'an's sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, are you afraid?"

Chen Pingan raised the back of his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded and said: "Of course I'm afraid, but it doesn't matter, Lin Shouyi and I are here."

Lin Shouyi smiled bitterly and said: "I thought I could give it a try before, but now I feel that my little weight is just enough to hook someone's little finger."

Chen Pingan sheathed the auspicious talisman and handed it back to Li Baoping. Seeing that she and Lin Shouyi were both puzzled, Chen Pingan explained: "Let me try it later."

Li Huai asked innocently: "That female ghost is not afraid of the auspicious talisman knife or Lin Shouyi's talisman, but is afraid of fists?"

Chen Pingan said nothing and began to hold his breath and concentrate.
