The night is dark and windy, with no stars or moon.
The cold wind howled and was biting to the bone.
Li Xiuping tugged at the mink fur on his body and said bitterly: "The cold wind is really harmful to the bones. I feel like I won't be able to get up tomorrow after being blown like this all night."
The scholar nodded at this time and said: "It's quite cold, but aren't you cultivators? Are you still afraid of the cold wind?"
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "Practitioners are also human beings, so naturally they are afraid."
He then asked: "There are so many people, I'm curious why you chose us. After all, no matter how we look at it, we don't look like masters who can catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits."
The scholar seemed a little hesitant, and Li Xiuping continued: "Don't say it's because we know the general situation of the matter. After all, we didn't say anything before you came to us."
The scholar smiled and said, "Because the young master is also a scholar."
Li Xiuping was stunned.
The scholar pointed to the "Nothing" plaque on Li Xiuping's waist and said, "Only Confucian disciples would carry this thing with them. The one in the young master's hand should only be worn by disciples of a certain major academy."
Li Xiuping couldn't help but glance down and said with a smile: "This makes it even more difficult for me to understand. Since we are all scholars, then what you are is what I am, so you should not choose, but exclude, and in the end Shouldn’t I be the one sent out first?”
The scholar continued: "Although the young master is a scholar, these seniors around the young master are not. Moreover, the gentleman has said that those gentlemen who came out of the big academy have great righteousness to protect themselves, and they will not be invaded by evil spirits."
Li Xiuping smiled slightly and stopped continuing the topic. Instead, he said: "I can only say that Mr. has a good vision and good luck."
The scholar hurriedly asked: "If it is really the Master of Zhao Village, can the young master and several seniors deal with him?"
Li Xiuping did not answer directly, but smiled and said: "We can see the outline of the matter, but we did not escape directly. Isn't it the best explanation?"
The scholar nodded and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Li Xiuping and others continued to move forward, blowing the cold wind while looking around, but there was no trace of any evil spirits. Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown and said: "Don't they say that these female ghosts and fox demons like to find scholars? There are only two of us here, why don’t you come to us?”
Master Qingming also joked: "Maybe it's us two old guys here?"
The scholar said seriously: "Didn't the young master say before that this female ghost was raised by Master Zhao? Or in order to absorb the cultivation of the monks, naturally he should first find the one with high cultivation."
As soon as he said this, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, because the cultivation level of the two old seniors must be the highest, otherwise they would not be able to see the ins and outs of the whole thing at a glance. Is it possible that it is because the cultivation level is too high? Was that female ghost even scared?
Just at this time, there was a group of people in front of everyone looking left and right, and they seemed to be using some kind of tracking power.
Seeing Li Xiuping and others approaching, these people stopped what they were doing and frowned one by one.
One of them was the young man who had previously said that the others were just a mob, and the people around him were all his fellow disciples. Judging from the magical powers they had previously displayed, they should indeed have some abilities.
Li Xiuping took the lead and asked: "How many fellow Taoists have gained something?"
No one answered, only the young man snorted coldly.
Li Xiuping continued: "What you used before was the Taoist soul-seeking butterfly? I heard that this kind of treasure is the most sensitive to the evil spirit of the soul, but judging from the looks of a few of them, they don't seem to have gained much. Could it be that they have such strong ghost cultivation? Is it already high enough to avoid Psylocke butterflies?"
A hostess said coldly: "What do you know? There is no evil spirit in the world that can escape the pursuit of this spirit-seeking butterfly. We couldn't find it. It's just that our cultivation is not enough."
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "I see, then this evil ghost's cultivation level is too high. Let me see, let's escape before this evil ghost appears."
The female cultivator said coldly: "You are indeed a coward who eats and drinks too much."
At this moment, there was sudden movement ahead, as if someone was fighting.
Li Xiuping and others couldn't help but frown.
With the perception of this group of people, they can clearly feel that there are indeed people fighting in front, but they do not feel the breath of any evil spirits. In other words, people are fighting with each other.
Before Li Xiuping and others could say anything, the group of sect disciples rushed forward, one by one impatiently, as if they were worried that if they were a step too late, their credit would be taken away.
Seeing that the group of people suddenly disappeared, Li Xiuping said: "Let's go take a look too."
As he spoke, he walked forward unhurriedly, and not only Li Xiuping, but other than the scholar, no one else seemed to be in a hurry.
When we came to a long street, there were indeed two groups fighting. One of them was the sect known as Wang Xianzi, and the other was the burly man and a few casual cultivators.
The group of people who met Li Xiuping and others before did not dissuade them, nor did they intend to help. Instead, they just watched the show from the sidelines.
When Li Xiuping and others arrived, many people had gathered around, and they were all watching the fire from the other side.
Li Xiuping frowned and said: "This is really interesting. The ghost hunters haven't appeared yet, but the ghost hunters started fighting first. I don't think we need to catch ghosts anymore. Maybe after the ghost sees it, he will have to laugh again. Die once."
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Li Xiuping.
The scholar was startled when he was stared at by so many people. He took a step back and hid behind Li Xiuping.
When Li Xiuping said this, it was hard for both sides to start fighting again. Of course, it could also be that they had been fighting for so long before and could not decide the winner. If the fight continued, both sides would suffer.
The burly man couldn't defeat those sect disciples, so he vented his anger on Li Xiuping and said coldly: "Boy, you won't live long yourself, and you are so nosy. Believe it or not, I will help you right now." Twist the head off.”
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "I see that your Excellency is not only well-developed in limbs and simple in mind, but also seems to be forgetful. I have already said before that whoever is stronger is more capable. Look at you, a group of big and thick men, but you can't even get a few I can’t beat a woman, isn’t this proof?”
As soon as these words came out, not only the group of people were angry, but also the group of female cultivators frowned with cold expressions. One of them even pointed the long sword directly at Li Xiuping and said in a cold voice: "I want to take a look, you Why do you look down on women?"
After Li Xiuping finished speaking, he didn't care about these two groups, but paid close attention to his surroundings.
As a result, these two groups became even more furious and started to kill Li Xiuping and others.
Li Xiuping directly pushed the "Huo Ling Zhenren" out, and at the same time whispered: "Don't be too harsh, let's see if we can lure the female ghost out."
"Huoling Zhenren" was suddenly pushed out, and he was a little caught off guard. When he heard Li Xiuping's words, he couldn't help but frown.
The people present are actually just some foundation-building monks, and the strongest ones are only one or two golden elixir stages. With the strength of "Huo Ling Zhenren", they can naturally deal with it easily, but Li Xiuping obviously wants him to act.
Acting is not difficult, but acting well is really not an easy task.
Li Xiuping deliberately intensified the conflict, just to see if the female ghost would take advantage of this moment to take action. After all, with so many monks united, even if the female ghost really had some cultivation, it would not be easy to deal with them. Now they Fighting by himself is naturally the best opportunity for the female ghost.
"Huo Ling Zhenren" understood Li Xiuping's thoughts very well. Not only did he leave room for action, but he also seemed to be defeated. However, he was able to completely contain the two parties, and even led the two parties to kill other forces. The whole long street was in chaos for a while.
But even so, the female ghost still didn't show up, which made Li Xiuping frown. Could it be that he really had to take action to find it out?
Li Xiuping had more than one way to find out a female ghost, but his current physical condition made it really unsuitable to take action, and if he really wanted to do that, the whole thing would be meaningless.
At this moment, a gust of dark wind suddenly blew, and then formed a huge whirlpool in the long street, and the two parties who were fighting fiercely were forced to stop.
Li Xiuping pulled the mink fur around his body with both hands and stared at the sudden whirlpool, seemingly surprised.
It was obviously just a soul body, but it had a strength equivalent to the peak of the Golden Core stage, and was only one step away from the Nascent Soul stage.
No wonder I couldn't lure it out in the past, because it didn't need the "opportunity" Li Xiuping created for it at all, because to deal with it, you must at least be a Nascent Soul stage monk.
As the female ghost appeared, everyone's expressions became heavy. Many people even quickly retreated to avoid the huge whirlpool formed by the evil wind.
"He turned out to be a half-step Nascent Soul ghost general, now he's in trouble!"
A golden elixir stage monk had a gloomy face and a solemn tone.
As soon as these words came out, many people suddenly felt despair.
If you are a half-step Nascent Soul ghost general, then isn't it the only way for people like them to die?
Many people also wanted to retreat at this moment and were looking for opportunities to escape.
But at this time, tornadoes formed by the dark wind appeared at both ends of the long street, and they were approaching quickly.
There is no way to the sky and no door to the earth. Everyone on the long street can hardly fly at this moment.
"It's over!"
The burly man sighed at this time, his expression full of deep fear.
Li Xiupin smiled and said, "You must be afraid, right?"
No one expected that this young man with white hair would actually want to ridicule others at this time, but they didn't care. They didn't think that this young man had the ability to deal with the evil ghost, but they felt that this young man simply didn't know how to deal with it. The sky is high and the earth is high, I don’t know what a half-step Nascent Soul ghost will mean.
Li Xiuping looked at the green water unicorn that turned into a human, and said calmly: "Don't let it run away."
If it had been pushed out by Li Xiuping to act as a thug in the past, the green water unicorn would definitely be a little dissatisfied. But after following Li Xiuping and seeing his methods, it would not be reluctant at all whatever Li Xiuping asked it to do now. .
If Mr. Li is happy, maybe one day he will be rewarded with an elixir or a fairy treasure. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
As the blue water unicorn walked out, an ice wall suddenly stood up on both sides of the street to block the two whirlpools. Then the already cold air between heaven and earth instantly became colder, as if even the air had condensed. generally.
Ahead, the whirlpool in the middle of the street also began to stop, looking as if it was completely frozen.
The female ghost who just appeared seemed to sense a huge danger and began to rush around, trying to escape from the whirlpool.
But the clear water unicorn is a spiritual beast after all, and it still has the strength of the god transformation stage. Not to mention that the female ghost only has the cultivation level of the peak golden elixir stage. Even if she is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, it will be very difficult to escape.
The green water unicorn slowly rose into the sky, completely suppressing the female ghost, but frowned and said: "Sir, I can only kill it, but I don't know how to subdue it, and I don't have a treasure that can catch ghosts and collect them."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Just suppress it."
After saying that, he moved forward and walked out, and then a copper bowl appeared out of thin air in front of him.
After the copper bowl appeared, it began to spin, and then runes appeared on it one after another, and golden light glowed.
Immediately afterwards, something similar to a Bagua diagram appeared, and the light shone, completely covering the female ghost.
"Exalted Immortal, have mercy on me!"
The female ghost seemed to finally feel threatened at this time and begged for mercy.
Li Xiuping said calmly: "If I want to kill you, your soul will be gone from now on."
After saying that, he made a seal with both hands, and then shouted: "Take it!"
As soon as the words fell, the copper bowl immediately released a powerful suction force, while the magic weapon that looked like a Bagua chart released a powerful push force, pushing the female ghost towards the copper bowl.
When the female ghost was put into the copper bowl, the Taoist fairy treasure disappeared out of thin air, and the runes on the copper bowl also disappeared. At the same time, the copper bowl became smaller and was held in Li Xiuping's hand, just like a The bowl is no different.
Li Xiuping held the copper bowl in his left hand, pinched a seal with his right hand, pressed it lightly on the copper bowl, and put it away.
All these changes happened so suddenly and quickly that many people have not reacted until now, and all of them are confused.
Li Xiuping asked with a smile: "I'm going to take this female ghost to receive the reward. I don't think you have any objections, right?"
Everyone looked at Li Xiuping. How dare they have any opinions at this time.
Whether it was the appearance of the female ghost or the actions of Li Xiuping and others, although it was only a short moment, the changes were so rapid that no one had time to react.
At this moment, it was clear to everyone that this white-haired young man was not on the same level as them at all.
To subdue a ghost general who has reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, he must at least be considered a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage, and those who subdued him so easily like this group of people must be the legendary strong people in the Transformation God stage.
Most of the people present were casual cultivators, and even though many came from practicing sects, the strongest ones in their sect were only at the Nascent Soul stage, so they knew very well what it meant to be strong at the Divine Transformation stage.
It was a terrifying existence that could easily destroy their sect with just one stamp of their feet.
What such people say comes naturally. How dare they say anything more.
"Since this female ghost was captured by an immortal, she should naturally go to an immortal to receive the reward." An old man said with a somewhat embarrassed smile at this time.
They really don't understand that such an immortal figure really values the thirty gold reward?
A strong person in the transformation stage, let alone thirty gold, even three hundred gold, or even three thousand gold, would not be looked down upon.
To be more precise, in the eyes of such immortal figures, these gold and silver are just common things. What they can value is no longer such things, but spiritual stones and immortal treasures.
Another person saluted and said: "Thanks to the presence of several immortals this time, otherwise we might not have been able to save our lives today. We have no way to repay such a great favor, so how could we follow the immortals to compete for a mere thirty gold pieces?" reward."
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "In that case, thank you very much."
After saying that, he turned around and seemed to remember something again, and asked: "By the way, tonight's show has just begun. I wonder if you are interested in going to see it?"
So everyone in Rou En frowned, and naturally they didn't understand what Li Xiuping meant.
At this time, layman Qingming suddenly said: "Coming this way."
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "It seems we don't need to go there."
He then added: "The show has already begun."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuangzhu Zhao appeared out of thin air, his face gloomy, his eyes narrowed into a line, staring at the people below, and finally his eyes fell on the blue water unicorn.
He could naturally tell what level of cultivation these people had at a glance, but he couldn't see through the two people following the white-haired boy, especially the one with the sword on his back, who was as deep as the sea.
He actually didn't pay attention before, because this group of people was led by the white-haired young man, and the white-haired young man was just a foundation-building monk and seemed to be seriously injured.
He could naturally see the level of cultivation of "Huoling Zhenren", and coupled with Li Xiuping's injuries, he felt that these people would not be much stronger, at least not stronger than him, otherwise they would not be able to The white-haired young man was so seriously injured.
In fact, it's very simple. Those who are stronger than him must be at least a monk in the God Transformation stage, and someone who can seriously injure someone protected by a strong person in the God Transformation stage must be at least a God Transformation stage. If a strong man in the God Transformation stage wants to kill a monk who only has cultivation in the Foundation Establishment stage, even if he is protected by a strong man in the God Transformation stage, he will never be seriously injured.
In other words, in his opinion, this group of people are at the Nascent Soul stage at best, or even the Golden Core stage, but they just use some kind of treasure or secret method to cover their aura.
Because only the Golden Core stage can explain the young man's injuries.
Because if a Golden Core Stage monk takes action, even if he is also protected by a Golden Core Stage monk, he can seriously injure a Foundation Establishment Stage monk. After reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, it is basically difficult for the young man to survive.
Everyone looked at the sudden appearance of Master Zhao, with doubts on their faces and frowning.
This Master Zhao turned out to be a cultivator, and his cultivation level was far above them.
Why would such a person spend a lot of money to hire people whose cultivation level is not as good as his own to catch ghosts?
Some people died, but not completely...
