Late at night, the bright moon hangs high and the stars are dotted. The cool night wind blows through the trees and makes a rustling sound. The surrounding air also contains a hint of yin, cold and dampness.

A few years after entering the mountain, Hongming, who was going down the mountain for the first time, frowned. He didn't feel anything strange during the day, but after entering the night, the rich yin energy made him a little unbearable.

‘As such heavy yin energy, even without the plot of demons and monsters, it may form a confusion of ghosts and walls. Moreover, if a person stays in this environment for a long time, the yang energy on his body will inevitably be weakened. He will lose half his life even if he does not die. No wonder the master said that disasters on earth will arise.’

Hongming thought, and suddenly there were waves of "Dingling" bells sounding in his ears. The sound was sometimes far and sometimes near. In conjunction with the night wind, there was a trace of the sound of the soul-locking sound from the underworld.

Hongming silently used the mysterious skills and listened carefully, and then heard a thought hidden in the sound of the bell.

"The Yin people go on the road, and the living will retreat."

Looking in the direction where the sound came, Hongming saw a corpse energy surrounding the sky, and there was a strong ghost energy hidden in it. This evil energy approached Hongming with an extremely rapid reading of the book. Just as he was about to be prepared, another ghost energy surrounded Hongming.

‘Not good!’ Seeing this scene in front of him, Hongming knew that it was not good, but before he could react, green green fires appeared, and the ghost fires floated around for a few times, suddenly gathered together, turning into a woman in blue costume and appeared not far in front of Hongming.

"When my husband is happy, I am heartbroken, and I am grateful..."

The woman in costume floated towards Hongming, and her tactful singing echoed everywhere, overlapping, like infinite echoes, disturbing his hearing and interfering with his senses.

Hongming's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared. He always felt that in addition to this female ghost, there were countless eyes staring at him. Among the woods, among the plants, there seemed to be shadows. Some ghosts were whispering? He pursed his lips and let out a burst of joyful laughter.

"The Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth? The root of Wan Qi..."

The golden light curse blurted out, and a faint golden light appeared beside Hongming? A hot air lingered around his body? It turned into an invisible force field to block the evil evil objects from approaching him.

But? Hongming's Golden Light Mantra is entirely made of his own practice. When he is afraid of his heart, he can drive the Golden Light to protect his body. It's a bad thing to deal with ordinary ghosts. This female ghost is obviously proficient in illusionism and is very good at finding gaps in the hearts of people and avoiding the golden light power field? He raised his sleeves and pinched his throat.

Compared to just now, the new song has a subtle change and is even more dreamy. After listening to it, Hongming was about to be pulled into the illusion. At this time, a gong sounded, and then a fifty-year-old man with a dry body and spirit, in his empty eyes, an old man with no eyes left behind came out from a distance.

It is noticeable that this man held a small Yin Gong in his hand? He was wearing a blue cloth robe? He was wearing a blue cloth hat. He was wearing a pair of straw sandals under his feet, a black waist scarf tied around his waist, and a copper bell hung. Every step he took, he beat the Gong Gong.

This is the unique outfit of the corpse driver. With his appearance, eleven people wearing black shrouds and rice dumpling hats walked slowly. Unlike the dead bodies of ordinary corpse drivers, these people's hats were covered with black talismans, which were densely covered with various strange blood-colored patterns, exuding a strange aura.

"Driving the corpse, what do you mean?"

The female ghost in costume looked at the corpse driver with a hint of anger. Hongming on the other side was shocked by the sound of the gong and finally realized. After studying with Yuchen for several years, he also guessed that he was plotted against by someone, silently chanting the golden light curse, protecting himself, shaking his sleeves and buying an oil paper umbrella.

He gently stretched open, held the handle of the umbrella and stood up. The umbrella surface filled with runes suddenly flowed, leaving behind along the edge of the umbrella. Hongming suddenly felt a burst of clearness, and the external yin energy no longer affected his consciousness.

Then he swung his long sleeves again, and one hundred and eight ancient copper coins flew out of his sleeves, turning into golden lights and shooting towards the female ghost.

As the water sleeves were raised, the sound of water sounded, and the mist rose, trying to intercept the copper coins.

But the copper coin flashed with a heavy breath of worldly aura, with golden light flowing, piercing through the yin energy and evil energy, and hitting the female ghost hard.

Surprisingly, the female ghost had no response, as if she was hit by the magic weapon.

Hongming's face changed slightly. With a move, the copper coins flew back to him, surrounding him, trembling slightly. The faint light of spirit mixed with the mist falling from the oil paper umbrella, turned into a light curtain to protect the four directions. Then, Hongming flipped his hand and took out a Bagua mirror. He was about to look around, and the voice of the female ghost came from all directions: "Today you are lucky, let you have a way out."

After saying that, the female ghost who was hit by the copper coins just now turned into wisps of mist and dispersed, which was obviously just an illusion.

Hong Ming knew that the other party had left, and did not think about chasing him. He raised his hand and shook it. A slender red line flew out, connecting copper coins together to form a copper coins sword and was held in his hand. After a while, he put it into his sleeve, then walked to the corpse driver, bowed and thanked: "Thank you for your help!"

"The Yin people are on the road, and the living are retreating." The corpse driver seemed irrational and ignored Hongming. After he started to mutter, he knocked on the small Yin gong in his hand and slowly prepared to leave.

However, the corpse driver began to return again shortly after passing by Hongming.

Hongming frowned, thoughtful, silently recited the truth in his mouth, summoned his eyes to come, and a gleam of gold and silver slid across his pupils.

Looking again, Hongming saw that the corpse driver was in a very strange state. Although he was surrounded by death, he had a glimmer of vitality. At the same time, the corpse driver had a breath on his body, which was in line with this land.

After thinking about it, Hongming took out a scroll, bowed to it, and recited the truth of God.

The scroll soared into the air and unfolded itself. On it was outlined with a portrait of Yu Chen. Hongming kowtowed again, and waves arose on the drawing paper. An illusory Yu Chen walked out of it and looked at Hongming and smiled, "How do you feel when you meet a ghost for the first time?"

"Disciple is ashamed of the teacher's love." Hongming said, lowering his head in shame.

It's no wonder that Hongming's performance was not very good tonight. Since he discovered that the yin energy here was heavy, he should have known to be careful.

I heard a strange sound late at night, and I didn’t want to avoid it. Instead, I listened carefully and was a big mistake.

The successive cares made Hongming not have time to take out the few protective magic weapons given by Yu Chen when facing the female ghost, and was trapped in a bitter battle. It can be said that if it weren't for the sudden intervention of the corpse driver later, Hongming's fight with the female ghost would have to be peeled off even if he didn't die.

But Yu Chen once told them about these contents when he taught them Taoism. Hongming did not discover them in time. Now, he is naturally very ashamed of Yu Chen's question.

"I was relieved if you could notice your own problems." Yu Chen looked at Hongming. For this disciple who would inherit the Taoist tradition of Chongzhen Temple in the future, his teaching method has always been centered on teaching the Taoist tradition of Chongzhen Temple. Whether it is practice, supporting magic, or practice concepts, they are mainly based on the original inheritance of Chongzhen Temple.

Therefore, after Hongming went down the mountain this time, Yuchen also focused on his experience.

Tonight, Yuchen cares more about what he can learn from it than his mistakes.

I have to say that Hongming's behavior was that no matter whether he found something wrong, he immediately used the Golden Light Spell to protect himself; then took out the oil-paper umbrella magic weapon to isolate the evil spirit; the female ghost did not pursue her impulse when she left; and expressed her gratitude to the corpse driver, which was quite remarkable.

As for the changes in mentality, whether there are any fear or some other thoughts, Yu Chen already understood the moment he arrived. Therefore, Yu Chen was not satisfied with Hongming's performance, but he could not be said to be too disappointed, and he was considered a qualified level.

However, facing Yu Chen's answer, Hongming felt even more guilty. He was a little depressed, but he did not forget the reason why he summoned Yu Chen. After sorting out his emotions, he bowed to Yu Chen and said, "I dare to ask Master, what's wrong with that senior?"

"Then the corpse driver!" Yu Chen looked at the corpse driver who was leaving. He suddenly turned around and walked towards Yu Chen and the others, and slowly stopped in front of Hongming and Yu Chen.

"This guy is also a poor man. He drove the corpse well, but he encountered an explosion of Yin Qi in the underworld, and the yang Qi was directly dispersed by Yin Qi in the mountains. But he himself didn't know that, and he thought he was still alive, holding the Yin Gong, shaking the bell, walking back and forth in the mountains, wanting to bring the dead bodies back."

"And I don't know if this guy's luck is good or bad. His zodiac sign is the Rat, and he is just in a round with the eleven corpses. When he dies, the twelve corpses have contact with each other, forming a rat's fate, allowing the death energy and corpse energy from the other eleven people to gather on him, and gradually became a climate."

Yu Chen walked to the corpse-driver and reached out to his eyebrows. A trace of black air surged out. Yu Chen looked back at Hongming and said, "Look, this guy is now full of corpse energy. He is in tune with the earth's energy and can easily leave this land. This is why he has been wandering around here."

When Hongming heard this, he gritted his teeth and bowed, "Master, when you were preaching in the past, you once said that the obsession of the ghost can turn it into a earth-bound spirit. This senior seems to be a bit similar, so he will fall into the devil's path like those earth-bound spirits because the obsession is delayed and cannot be completed."

"Yes!" Yu Chen nodded and said calmly: "His obsession is very simple. He is to bring these corpses back to his hometown. If you want to help him, one is to replace him and send the corpse back. The other is to subdue the female ghost just now."

"What happened to this senior has to do with that female ghost?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just that the time of birth is about the same. As for why you have to subdue it, it is a test for you. If you subdue the female ghost, I will help you send these corpses back. How about it?"

Hongming naturally did not refuse. After he agreed, Yuchen dissipated his body and the scroll returned to Hongming's hand. After putting it away, Hongming bowed to the corpse driver and then walked towards the nearest town nearby, wanting to find out the origin of the female ghost.

Hongming, who possesses magic and practices martial arts, is still very fast, and in just half an hour he arrives in front of a town.

There is a tall and old stone archway at the front of the town. Various wonderful patterns are carved on the two pillars. From a distance, Hongming can feel a faint light of inspiration surging on the archway.

And below the archway, two large fires were burning, one left and one right, and there were people guarding them next to the fire, throwing one or two firewood into it from time to time to keep the flames strong.

Hongming walked forward, and the two men guarding the fire turned their heads at the same time and looked over. One of them stood up and walked towards Hongming.

As the man walked around, there was a slight sound of metal collision, and it was obvious that he was carrying something on his body.

"The Heavenly Lord of the Great Blessings! Is the Taoist Chongzhenguan Hongming, the Spirit Treasure Sect, dares to ask if this place is Renjia Town."

Seeing Hongming wearing a Taoist robe and performing Taoist etiquette again, the man who came forward to check was also stunned, and then hurriedly replied: "I have seen Taoist priest, I am Wang Qiang, a disciple of the Mayi Sect in Xiamaoshan."

"Oh! It turns out that I am a fellow traveler down to Maoshan. Did you arrange the formation here? Use spiritual talismans to stabilize the ground energy and use the ground energy to protect the ten directions. After nightfall, nine entrances and exits were blocked, leaving only this place, forcing ordinary evil people to enter the town and must pass here. It is quite mysterious." Hongming smiled and started to communicate with Wang Qiang when he heard this.

In fact, in Hongming's opinion, this formation is quite wrong, but when we first met, it was naturally a flower-like sedan chair lifted people.

"The Taoist priest is too good, how can I do this!" Wang Qiang was embarrassed and touched his head and said, "This formation was arranged by my teacher. He used 72 spiritual talismans to fix the dragon vein of Renjia Town, and then arranged this formation based on the dragon vein. According to the teacher, this archway is the seat of the dragon head. I waited to light the fire, which was equivalent to applying the finishing touch to make the whole formation with the most positive energy and the yang energy stronger. In this way, even if the evil ghost who has been practicing for a hundred years comes here, he will be suppressed, and his cultivation level will not be left alone."

"Senior brother, what are you talking about? Why don't you come back soon?" another person guarding the fire shouted loudly, but the man did nothing.

Wang Qiang heard this and smiled and said, "Okay, come back."

After saying that, Wang Qiang said to Hongming: "That's my junior brother Ren Hao. We were ordered to guard the two fires to prevent ghosts from entering the town. Fellow Taoist come in with me."

Hongming nodded when he heard this and followed Wang Qiang into it. After watching Hongming walk for a while, Wang Qiang and Ren Hao inside both breathed a sigh of relief. Hongming smiled. He had long seen that there was another small game here, and he could detect the identity of outsiders, but it was hard to point out.
