I followed his instructions and saw a vague figure wandering outside the window. It seemed to be staring at our room, with hunger and madness in its eyes.
Its face was pale, its body was thin, its clothes were ragged, and it looked terrifying.
Qin Wuyan quietly picked up the sword, walked to the window, and opened the window gently.
The cold wind mixed with a fishy smell rushed in, and the ghost-like figure suddenly let out a piercing scream, as if it was irritated, and rushed towards us.
In an instant, Qin Wuyan's figure moved like a phantom, the sword light flashed, and a sharp sword energy drove the ghost away.
It let out a miserable cry, and instantly turned into a gust of wind, dissipating into the night.
“These resentful spirits and wandering souls are unable to be reincarnated because of their deep obsessions.
There are many ways in our Taoism to help them achieve salvation, but there are also some evil spirits and ghosts who have done too many evil things and refuse to give up even after death, so we need to take action against them. Qin Wuyan explained, his voice calm, as if the battle just now was just a common occurrence for him.
I nodded, admiring Qin Wuyan even more in my heart.
I know that this journey is destined to be uneventful, but with Qin Wuyan here, I feel a little at ease.
In the next few days, we continued to move towards Yanshan.
On the way, we encountered many unspeakable things, some of which were natural phenomena and some of which were supernatural beings.
Whenever this happens, Qin Wuyan is always able to solve the problem with his extraordinary Taoist skills and calm judgment.
Finally, after several days of trekking, the outline of Yanshan gradually became clear in our sight.
It was a majestic, yet eerie mountain range. The mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, as if there were countless ghosts wandering among them.
I know that our real challenge has just begun.
We stopped for a while at the foot of Yan Mountain, packed up our equipment and mood, and prepared to enter this ghostly place.
Before entering the mountain, Qin Wuyan took out some Taoist magic weapons and set up a protective array to prevent accidents.
When we stepped into Yanshan Mountain, the first thing we felt was a biting cold air, as if we were stepping into a colder world with every step.
The trees are withered, the ground is covered with strange runes, and occasionally shrill cries and roars can be heard from afar. Everywhere here reveals an ominous and dead silence.
We walked along a narrow mountain road.
Qin Wuyan walked in front, the sword in his hand emitted a faint light from time to time, dispelling the surrounding haze.
And I followed closely behind, holding the talisman tightly in my hand, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.
Suddenly, a ghost-like white figure jumped out from our side, its face was twisted and there was a crazy light in its eyes.
Qin Wuyan reacted almost instantly and slashed away with his sword. The white shadow let out a sharp scream and turned into dots of light and dissipated in the air.
"These ghosts trapped in Yanshan became so violent because of their heavy resentment and unfulfilled wishes." Qin Wuyan explained, there was no trace of fear in his voice, but I could feel his vigilance.
We continue to go deeper into Yanshan Mountain, and the further we go, the more resentful spirits we encounter, and every encounter is frightening.
During a break, I noticed that Qin Wuyan's sword was covered with black ghost energy, while he sat quietly aside, using Taoist secrets to purify the sword body.
Three days into Yanshan Mountain, we came to a valley filled with clouds and mist, as if something was hidden.
Qin Wuyan suddenly stopped, his face showing an unprecedented serious look.
“This is the heart of Yanshan and the most dangerous place.
It is said that there is an ancient resentful spirit that controls this valley. It is extremely powerful and cannot be dealt with by ordinary Taoism. " he whispered.
We decided to enter the valley. Although there was unspeakable fear in my heart, in order to find my grandfather's soul, I had no retreat.
The wind roared in the valley, and it seemed that even the air was filled with resentment and murderous intent.
Not long after walking, we saw a huge shadow lingering in front of us. Its figure was vague and seemed to be composed of countless resentful spirits.
Qin Wuyan's face became more solemn. He pulled out his sword and whispered to me: "Get ready, this will be a tough battle."
The shadow suddenly turned around, revealing a terrifying face. Its eyes were deep and hollow, as if they could swallow all light.
It spoke, and its voice was like an echo from hell, filled with endless pain and resentment.
"Intruder..." Its voice made the entire valley tremble.
Qin Wuyan stepped forward, his sword light like a waterfall colliding with the power of the resentful spirit, making a deafening roar.
I stood aside nervously, the talisman in my hand ready, ready to support at any time.
The battle was extremely fierce, and the power of the resentful spirit was far beyond our imagination. Every attack carried the power to destroy everything.
Although Qin Wuyan was powerful, he still seemed to be struggling.
I know I can no longer stand by and watch.
I took a deep breath, poured all my mana into the talisman in my hand, and then threw them out one by one.
The talisman paper turned into streaks of golden light, and rushed towards the resentful spirit together with Qin Wuyan's sword energy.
After we almost exhausted all our strength, the screams of the resentful spirit suddenly stopped, and the whole person turned into countless light spots and disappeared in the air.
Qin Wuyan and I leaned weakly on the stone wall nearby, panting.
However, the uneasiness in my heart did not subside with the dissipation of the resentful spirit. On the contrary, it became more intense.
"Pay attention, the aura of this resentful spirit has not completely dissipated." Qin Wuyan looked around nervously.
Indeed, that oppressive atmosphere still lingers in the valley.
I tried to feel the airflow around me and found some subtle fluctuations, as if something was quietly observing us.
At this moment, a chuckle came from deep in the valley, which made people feel chilled in their hearts.
A figure in black slowly walked out of the fog. He was slender and had an inexplicable smile on his face.
"What a brave little Taoist priests, how dare you go straight into the depths of Yan Mountain.
However, the things you just encountered were just small pets that I kept. "The voice of the man in black was contemptuous and cold, which made people shudder.
Qin Wuyan and I looked at each other and stood up warily.
Although our physical strength is close to the limit, we have to be ready to fight in the face of sudden dangers.
"Who are you? Why are you raising resentful spirits here?" Qin Wuyan asked coldly.
The man in black seemed to be happy with Qin Wuyan's question. He smiled and replied: "Me? I'm just a resident here. As for why I raise resentful spirits... ha, this is my interest.
These resentful souls are the best playthings for me. "
I felt a chill in my heart. This person was not only extraordinary in strength, but also extremely dark and cruel in nature.
The resentful spirit in his hand is probably one of the tools he uses to rob and kill passing passengers.
