Song Caiwei's decision cannot be changed, and even Chen Hang will not continue to make requests. Everyone has a rest and must greet tomorrow with a full spirit.
When I woke up, it happened to be early morning.
Before setting off, everyone gathered together to watch the solitaire part of this morning.

Fang Zhijie has always acted quickly, and in his opinion, if this white ceremony doesn't work, it won't work. If it works, it will make a lot of money. After collecting the necessary ritual materials, he found a place in the wilderness and began to tinker with the ritual.
The things he can search are all rumors from various places in the APP. There will always be conflicts with rumors. He was crossing the river by feeling the stones, patching things here and there. Naturally, such a plan was not easy to use. In the end, he found that the props needed for two steps were missing, so he improvised and finished the job.
Although it looked very presentable, Fang Zhijie knew in his heart that this patchwork white ceremony ceremony would probably not work. He extinguished the incense in the incense burner, then used a shovel to fill the ten holes he had dug before, and shrugged - the stinky sweat today was probably in vain.
At this moment, a voice came from behind him.
"Did you make a wish?"
"Uh... ah?" Fang Zhijie jumped and immediately turned around. It would be better not to encounter any bad people in this wilderness.
What I saw when I turned around was a man wearing tattered clothes, with long hair and beard, like a beggar, but he didn't smell bad. He smiled strangely and had a few teeth missing. He didn't look like a good person.
"Who are you? Forget it, no matter who you are, it has nothing to do with me, just stay away."
"Don't worry, I won't come close. I just saw you so busy and was a little curious. That's why I asked you, young man, have you made a wish?"
"What wish do you make?" Fang Zhijie sounded a little guilty.
"While the ceremony is going on, you have to make your wish. This is a transaction, and the price must be clearly marked. You young man is not good at learning." The man sighed, and then laughed strangely, "Fortunately you met me , it’s okay to help you correct it. Make your wish now and recite it silently three times in your heart. It must be very clear, understand? "
He walked around to the place where Fang Zhijie held the ceremony, squatted down, and dug out some soil from several pits. Fang Zhijie was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he seemed to be possessed by a demon and said, "Can you help me?"
"Hehehehehe... Since we are destined to be like-minded, it doesn't hurt to help you casually. Come on, okay, now it is complete, you..."
The beggar-like weirdo raised his head, looked at Fang Zhijie with a pair of black eyes with a sinister smile, and asked the question again.
"...Did you make a wish?"
"Promise." Fang Zhijie nodded.
The man laughed strangely, clapped his hands loudly, and turned around to leave.

The interesting thing about this story line is that Shi Danong wrote Qi Xugang, and then Qi Xugang wrote Fang Zhijie. It’s a pity that Fang Zhijie has already written the story, otherwise I don’t know if he will follow it.
However, this short story did nothing but dig holes, and it felt like it was written in a hurry. However, it passed the review in the end, making people more uncertain about the criteria for judging the ghost president in that group.
After breakfast this time, everyone set off for Jiuyuan and Dadong Road. On the other side of Caowazi, Jin Yuntai's little ghosts were handed over. The goal was to find a place that matched the Yin Qi left in the hospital.
Lu Ning's plan will never be static. She will always make various adjustments based on the existing situation. If she was only 40 to 50 percent sure when she agreed to watch the six routes, now she is more confident that the hidden person will be revealed. Caught out.
Just catching it may not necessarily be able to deal with it.
After entering the Dadong Road area, the atmosphere here obviously changed. The most obvious thing is that the number of police patrols on the streets seems to have increased, and people seem to be deliberately keeping some distance between themselves.
"Looks like he was noticed?" Lu Ning looked at both sides of the road while waiting for the traffic light. "Bai Li's death toll will definitely attract some attention."
"Well, I checked the news, and it seems that a winter epidemic is prevalent..." Yan Zidan took her mobile phone and started checking the news of Zaoyuanzhuang today.
"The old routine." Lu Ping said, "If this is the case, then there should be Taoist people who have found government agencies to cooperate. Because it is difficult to announce to the public things like ghosts and murders, so they usually use diseases, smuggling, etc. The reason depends on the local conditions.”
"Senior brother, you know this kind of thing very well." Qi Mei was a little surprised.
"I was fortunate enough to participate in a similar thing once. It seems that someone discovered that the white rituals here are unusual. Several white rituals taking place at the same time is no longer something that ordinary people can handle."
"Wait a minute, will this also attract more people who come after hearing the news?" Lu Ning frowned, "White ceremonies are being held in several places, but there are several held at the same time here, which attracts more attention. Alright?"
"Of course, more Taoist priests will arrive at Zaoyuanzhuang from all directions within a day or two, but isn't this a good thing? At least they can be regarded as friendly forces, if we don't want to compete for the secret treasure." Lu Ping said .
"No, this number of people... is probably the murderer's purpose." Lu Ning felt something was wrong.
"Li Wenyue, those who dare to come here are all Taoist priests. They know some Taoism, seek good luck and avoid evil, etc. The murderer will not be wise if he targets them." Qi Mei said.
"The person holding the white ceremony probably knows some Taoism, especially the two groups who use it for private purposes. What about Taoist priests? It would be difficult to survive if they were murdered. I don't think they would use Taoism all the time. Protect yourself. And the best thing about these people from other places is that even if they die quietly, it is more difficult to be noticed."
"We can warn fellow Taoists about the dangers here." Lu Ping said.
"Daozhang Lu, the murderer will not worry about the victim being alert. They have been preparing for so long and even conducted a suspected rehearsal before Bai Li. Unless they are people like Mr. Jin, it will be difficult to guard against them. You also know from that video part I heard, they arranged people in the hospital, how do they know they are not available elsewhere?"
"Then we have to find a way to inform them." Yan Zidan was a little anxious.
"Well, the warning must be given, but what is more important is to find the executor of Bai Li."
"How to find it?" Qi Mei asked.
"We assume that the 'young master' did not hold the white ceremony again, then the people who know this should be the descendants of those who participated in the white ceremony. People who can have such knowledge and leave relevant records for future generations , he must have been a well-known and well-educated person at that time. I remember there was an exhibition hall about the history of Zaoyuanzhuang on Dadong Road, and I should be able to get some relevant information there." Lu Ning started to drive towards the exhibition hall. , "Don't relax, everyone, Yin Qi detection will still continue. These two groups of people are not together."
"Understood." Qi Mei gave a thumbs up.
There was no one in the exhibition hall. Originally, as a historical exhibition hall, this place was just a place for records. Occasionally, some primary and secondary schools would hold activities and come to visit, but who would come here as an ordinary person? As a public building, entry here is free. When Lu Ning and others came in, the guard looked up and was a little surprised.
The historical records of Zaoyuanzhuang are relatively complete. After all, the weather has been good here since Bai Li, and it has not been invaded by natural or man-made disasters. The records about that period of time are clearly written on the wall, with the relevant information about Bai Li removed of course. The content of the ceremony turns to praising those people for their good management of this place.
Thanks to this blessing, Lu Ning took a few photos of all the names of the people he needed. Naturally, there will be no genealogy or other things displayed here, but it is not difficult to check these in the Internet age.
"Back then, there were famous and powerful families here... There are thirteen families in total. Just check them one by one." After Lu Ning took these photos, she was about to leave. However, the moment she turned around, something seemed to appear out of the corner of her eye. Seeing a dense crowd of faces, she immediately turned her gaze in that direction. Of course, there was nothing there, only a relief wall.
"What's wrong?" Yan Zidan asked.
"Did Daozhang Lu feel the Yin Qi just now?"
"Everything is normal. Is there anything wrong with the direction you are looking at?" Lu Ping followed Lu Ning's gaze and said, "The old distant view of Zaoyuan Manor is quite exquisite, but it is just an ordinary sculpture."
"I seemed to have seen a lot of faces here just now." Lu Ning would not just think that she had an illusion. She took two steps and pressed her hand on the relief, but Bai Huan showed no reaction.
"Is the yin and yang normal? Then it's not this relief... The map doesn't say there are ghosts here."
Lu Ning took two steps back in confusion, but found nothing more. There was no time to waste, so she could only leave with everyone.
The tracing of thirteen families and the search for Yin Qi targets all over the city were carried out at the same time. However, the detection distance of the Yin Qi Amulet is only about thirty meters. If you encounter some high-rise buildings with more than ten floors, there is nothing you can do. Fortunately, there are only three such buildings in Zaoyuanzhuang.
Yan Zidan's investigation was also very fast. Among the thirteen most prestigious families here, the descendants of two families have moved away, four families have lost their incense, and the remaining seven families still live in Zaoyuanzhuang. within. Among the businesses on Dadong Road, there are many old business shops opened by five of the families. There is no need to inquire deliberately. The locals also take good care of their businesses. There is a family, probably a family of Confucian scholars who went to Caowazi. The descendants now seem to make a living from photography and landscape painting, and are slightly poor. The last household has developed the tourism industry in Zaoyuanzhuang and is also engaged in real estate and the like. It seems that it has some dealings with the Ruilong Group in Gengwu City and has registered a company called Zaoshan Qingyuan.
It's actually a bit troublesome to get to the company, because if you want to check some of the company's revenue and the like, there are still traces to follow, but it's actually more troublesome to check the people behind the company who are paying. Now the manager of the company has nothing to do with this family, but there is one member of the board of directors with the same last name, but this person has not disclosed much information, and his resume is as simple as a blank piece of paper.
"What should I do? This family is probably the most difficult to investigate. After their family started investment business, they went behind the scenes. This should be the family of a retired official here in Zaoyuanzhuang back then. They are rich and know how to calculate. Easy to handle." Yan Zidan was in trouble.
"Let's deal with it first. My amulet here has reacted!"
On the Yin Qi sensing talisman in Lu Ning's hand, a layer of white mist began to spread out on the surface. This was due to the change in surface temperature caused by the Yin Qi induction. Within thirty meters, the Yin Qi target was nearby. .
"Let's get out of the car." Lu Ping drew out the mahogany sword. Of course he didn't need a charm. The magic of illuminating demons was activated in his eyes, and the Yin Qi of the surrounding spirits could not escape. Teng Xuan and Qi Mei walked on both sides holding the Evil Breaking Talisman given by Lu Ping, while Lu Ning and Yan Zidan were at the end.
This is a small road on the side of an old building. The stains and graffiti on the walls are obvious. Some trash cans are placed nearby, already dirty. The other end of the path leads to another street, with a total length of only more than 20 meters.
"Is it here or the building next to it?" Lu Ning looked around cautiously. Since the thirty meters did not measure height or anything like that, it was just a straight line distance, so she could not rule out surrounding factors.
"Let's watch first." Qi Mei was trembling a little again. He didn't have many real abilities, so he was naturally scared to face the evil ghost who didn't know where he came from.
At this time, Lu Ping stopped in front of a large trash can and frowned slightly.
"This place... is extremely dark."
"Kill... kill and dismember the body?" Qi Mei was speechless.
Teng Xuan asked: "Taoist Master Lu, do you want to open it and take a look?"
"want."
"Look at me!"
She flew up and kicked the lid of the trash can with just the right amount of force. With a loud bang, the lid of the trash can was lifted. Fortunately, there were no mosquitoes or flies flying around in winter. There were plastic bags of several colors stacked inside the trash can, and there were a bunch of irregularly shaped black things on top of those plastic bags.
Lu Ping took Teng Xuan and took a step back. Taomujian picked up a piece of paper talisman. In a flash of fire, it fell into the trash can, and a sizzling sound came from it.
"What is that?" Lu Ning asked.
"It's a strange thing to say...but this is the body of a ghost."
"Dharmakaya ghost?"
"Most likely, we didn't make a tracking mistake. It's just that the Yin Qi we found was left on the remaining ghost corpses, and it was the Yin Qi of the perpetrator." Lu Ping picked up the black thing with the tip of his sword, "But ...Why don’t you eat up this Dharmakaya? Throwing it into this trash can has no other effect. Do you want to keep it for tonight?”
"Senior brother, please stop talking..." Qi Mei's face turned blue, "What kind of cruel thing is this thing that can kill and eat Dharmakaya ghosts? We... we can't deal with it even if we meet it, right?"
"If I can't do it alone, I'll look for help from my colleagues. Anyway, if such evil creatures are active in Zaoyuan Manor, no one can get what they want."
