At noon, Ning Changan bought food for Zhizhi from the market. Zhizhi devoured the empty shacks with drafts everywhere, while Ning Changan and Lu Qian continued to patrol along the fishing village.

The two of them walked away, and the old man in his sixties who had stopped at the entrance of the market appeared at the entrance of the hut.

Zhi Zhi was not disturbed, and his facial features were peaceful. As he watched Zhi Zhi finish eating, the old man just shouted: "Zhi Zhi"

The little girl turned around in panic.

The old man had a kind look on his face, and Zhizhi's expression calmed down a little: "How did grandpa know that my name is Zhizhi?"

"When Zhizhi was talking to others, grandpa heard it."

"Grandpa knows brother"

"do not know"

"Grandpa, can you please take Zhizhi home?"

"No, Zhizhi wants a big brother"

"Follow grandpa and you can learn how to kill those evil people who bully Mother Zhizhi."

"Evil people will look for big brother, Zhizhi will be able to help big brother if he learns his skills."

Zhizhi's eyes brightened, "Really"

The old man nodded, "come here"

The little girl stood beside the old man.

On the west side of the river where the thatched houses are built, the river water makes a rushing sound as it washes against the river bank.

The old man waved his long sleeves and said "open"

The river surface of five or six feet was interrupted, and the river bed was clearly presented before Zhizhi's eyes.

The river flowed again, and the old man said: "Grandpa taught Zhizhi magical powers. Once Zhizhi learns it, no one will bully you. Whoever bullies big brother will be killed by Zhizhi."

Zhizhi fell silent, looking at the direction Ning Changan left, and after a long time nodded: "Okay"

After following the old man for a few feet, Zhizhi returned to the room, took a branch and wrote a few words crookedly.

"Brother Ning, Zhizhi followed grandpa and I will be back."

The setting sun hung over the horizon, Ning Changan, Lu Qian returned to the thatched house.

When people leave the house, only the fonts remain on the ground.

"Grandpa, are they from Zhizhi's family?" Ning Changan wondered.

There was no sign of clutter at the scene, Zhizhi must have walked very calmly, and the crooked fonts could be seen as handiwork by a child.

Lu Qian was relieved, it was the best result.

Without making too many guesses, Ning Changan cleaned up the thatched house, closed the door, and returned with Lu Qian the same way.

When the sun was setting, huge waves suddenly arose from the calm surface of the Luojiang River, and a large ship was overturned.

After being rescued by the guards, the luxurious woman climbed onto the river bank wet and cursed, all because she had contracted bad luck at the entrance to the market.

A small boat was sailing down the river. Zhizhi on the bow looked at the old man in his 60s raising his hand to capsize the boat, his eyes bright: "Grandpa, where are we going?"

"Immortal Island", the old man looked at Zhizhi with a smile, like a fairy.

Ning Changan and Lu Qian arrived at the county seat and parted ways. Lu Qian went back to the Yamen, and Ning Changan went to the village.

Back at the hut, Ning Changan prepared for his first ghost hunt in his life.

He carried four Qi-Wang Talisman, Fire Talisman, and Barrier-breaking Talisman each, and two other Talismans. Ning Changan also carried a copper crossbow.

The trip to Yanziping was planned to be safe, but there was no guarantee that an accident would happen. With the scene of the haunted house, Fu Lu and Ning Changan had an attitude of "the more the better".

At night, Ning Changan once again called out two beauties and a witch, injecting a little spiritual power according to old methods to upgrade the paper man's combat skills.

In the dim light of the morning, Ning Changan got up early, went to the Yamen to pay his respects, and then rode out of the city, heading straight to Yanziping, two hundred miles away.

Half a year after traveling to the Yu Kingdom, strictly speaking, this was Ning Changan's first trip away from home.

Chentang County governs 48 townships.

Yanziping is one of them, the most remote from the county seat and the most impoverished rural community.

Ning Changan knew that Yanziping was due to its barrenness and extremely abnormal climate.

According to the geographical distribution, Chentang County, where Ningchang'an is located, is located in the south of Yu State, with abundant rainfall. The weather around Chentang County is good, with the exception of Yanziping.

The cottage, which was originally located near mountains and rivers, had not had a drop of rain in two years.

…………

The night was washed away, and a tiger leaped vigorously among the trees.

Occasionally, I would stop, stare behind me, smell the unusual smell in the air, and then dive into the deeper night.

The animal's instinctive sense of danger made the giant tiger feel that he was in big trouble.

First, I encountered a man riding alone on a mountain trail. I thought it was a feast, but then he was surrounded by three bewitching women.

Flee in despair.

The forest gradually became denser, and the tiger jumped into the bush.

The shadows under the ancient tree moved, and a woman with long blond hair and a black outfit walked out.

Holding a copper crossbow, "chi"...

The crossbow arrow flashed out of the night and entered the giant tiger's body.

There was a low roar in the forest, and the tiger lay limp on the ground.

On both sides of the bush, two more women walked out.

A voice sounded satisfied.

"Black Beauty, Duo Meiren, and Scarlet Witch performed very well"

The paper man couldn't reply, and he didn't have the joy of hunting a giant tiger. He jumped into the wooden box with a dull expression.

Heading to Yanziping, along the way, Ning Changan kept honing the status of the three paper figures.

Advance and retreat in an orderly manner and pay attention to the steps, the effect is quite good.

At midnight, Ning Changan arrived at an area dozens of miles northwest of Yanziping.

Passing through a mass grave with swaying grass, Ning Changan, who was walking around the cemetery with three paper beauties, did not encounter a single soul or wild ghost. He never saw a phosphorus fire.

It was plain and boring. Ning Changan saw the name Wu Yanshun on the half-broken monument. It was very ordinary.

One man and one horse arrived at the ridge on the Yanziping side in two quarters.

The village of hundreds of households was hidden in the darkness of night, quiet and peaceful, with no dogs barking.

The forest on the outskirts of the cottages along the way to Ning Chang'an is much sparser than in Ning Chang'an, and the dry branches are as bare as swords and halberds piercing the sky.

There is a dry smell in the air.

Ning Changan did not use the old Taoist Qi Talisman.

The Wang family was very wealthy and had invited Taoist priests, but no ghosts were found in Yanziping.

The qi talismans are precious, use one at a time and use one at a time.

After tying the tall yamen horse to the mountain forest, Ning Changan got a little familiar with the surrounding environment and sat at the door of a mountain temple.

There are temples and temples of various sizes in the surrounding mountains and plains of Chentang County.

The further away from the county town, the more frequent temples appear in the mountains.

This custom also existed in Lanxing where Ning Changan was located, but it was not as popular as in Yu State. When drinking, Ning Changan learned a little bit about the whole story from the storyteller in the restaurant.

In the State of Yu, there were many demons and evil spirits in the houses, so they built mountain temples and Bodhisattvas to suppress evil spirits.

The mountain temple has long been dilapidated, just like the ancient temple found by Ning Changan on the outskirts of Chentang County. However, it can be seen from the ruins that it was quite large and prosperous before.

Most of the reason is that there has been no water drop in Yanziping for two years, wealthy families have been moving away, and the incense has just faded away.

Most of the mountain temple collapsed. The Bodhisattva statue in the temple was missing its head. The golden paint on half of the body was gone. It smelled of rotten wood. After a short inspection, Ning Changan came out of the mountain temple. He walked down a few feet and sat on the protrusion.

on the slope.

Below the line of sight are hundreds of households in Yanziping and the Wang family mansion.

In the dead of night, there were no lights, and Ning Changan had no plans to enter the Wang family. Firstly, he was afraid of disturbing others, and secondly, he wanted to observe first.

Everything is done in advance. Failure to do so will lead to failure. Ning Changan adheres to the principle of being cautious and sailing a ten thousand year ship, and tiptoeing without fear of water getting wet shoes.

After observing for a long time, Ning Changan meditated and practiced the "Shang Yu Jing" exercises.

As the morning light faded, Ning Changan stood up.

At Chen time, the sun is not the most scorching. In Chentang County, this time is exactly when Ning Changan gets up for morning exercises, and the temperature is suitable. Yanziping is in a mountainous area, so it should be cooler, but Ning Changan feels like he is in the dog days of summer.

early morning.

Ning Changan paused as he turned around and returned to the forest.

The soles of your feet are moist!
