By the time I ran outside the gate, Liu Xiaoman had already walked far away. I felt that he was light and walking very fast.
I had no choice but to chase after him. This soul must be recovered, otherwise Liu Xiaoman would turn into a corpse when he wakes up tomorrow morning.
I chased him for dozens of miles at a stretch. At this time, Liu Xiaoman's soul had already run to the mountain behind the village, and it seemed that he was heading to the ancestral cemetery.
The Soul Chasing Talisman was already in my hand, but at this time I hesitated a little.
Of course I can chase this soul back now, but if I keep following Liu Xiaoman, I should be able to find the place where the person who cast the spell refined the ghost.
But doing this is definitely dangerous. Firstly, Liu Xiaoman is very likely to die. Secondly, if I really find the ghost refiner, I don’t know if I can fight him without sufficient preparations.
After hesitating for a while, I finally decided to take the risk and give it a try.
If this ghost-refining person is not eliminated, the village will definitely not be stable. I don’t know how many people will die. The sooner he is found, the sooner the village will naturally be at peace.
Thinking of this, I quickly took out a few more charms from my pocket, and then followed Liu Xiaoman all the way up the mountain.
Sure enough, Liu Xiaoman's soul ran to the ancestral cemetery in a short while. It must have been the ghost refiner who used a spell to attract his soul here.
I guess Liu Xiaoman thought he was dreaming at this moment, but he didn't know that this dream was actually enough to kill him.
I hurriedly chased him all the way in, and soon Liu Xiaoman’s soul came under an old pear tree in the north of the ancestral cemetery.
This pear tree is inherently yin, and when it appears in a place like the ancestral cemetery, it will gather some yin energy.
Moreover, this old pear tree is quite big. It takes several people to hug the trunk. It is estimated that it must be some years old.
As the saying goes, if you are old but do not die, you will become a monster. This sentence applies to any living creature. Although flowers, plants and trees do not move, they still have life, and they are also one of all living things.
An old tree like this, which is quite old, has some spirituality to some extent.
Now that Liu Xiaoman's soul has come here, it seems that this place should be the place where the descendants of the ghost control lineage set up to refine ghosts.
I quickly threw a Taishan Talisman out, temporarily keeping Liu Xiaoman's soul in place, lest something unexpected happened to him and his soul flew away.
Then I ran to the bottom of the old pear tree and took a look.
The yin energy in this place is obviously heavier, and there is always a yin wind blowing over, which is so cold that I can't help but shiver.
The branches and leaves above this old tree are dense and intricate, and the branches extend out to cover hundreds of meters in radius. There is no sunlight under the tree all year round, and it exudes a rotten and moldy smell.
I looked up and found that the lowest few branches on the trunk were basically dry and rotten. When the wind blew, there would even be scattered wild pears falling down, and the ground was covered with them. On the first floor, some parts were rotten and deteriorated, and many insects and ants were gnawing on them.
The trunk of this old tree is extremely rough, just like the palm of an old man's hand, and some of the bark is as thick as a finger.
I walked around the old pear tree and found that there were blood smeared on some places on the trunk, and some red rope charms and so on could be seen above the crown of the tree.
It seems that the person really set up a plan here, using the pear tree as a yin attribute, to gather the yin energy here to refine the ghost.
But I looked around and didn't find anything evil, let alone the ghost-refining person.
It was late at night, and this place was full of weirdness, so I didn't dare to stay longer. After taking a look, I quickly took Liu Xiaoman's soul and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from behind the tree trunk and pulled Liu Xiaoman's soul away.
I was immediately horrified, and quickly formed a five-thunder talisman and raised my hand to pat it.
Because Liu Xiaoman is now in a state of soul and a spirit body, I can't hold him back at all, so I can only attack the hands stretched out from behind the tree trunk to achieve the effect of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao.
When the Five Thunder Talisman was struck, a shrill scream suddenly came from behind the tree trunk, and the hands suddenly released Liu Xiaoman's soul.
I quickly took out a paper flag and moved it towards the soul. Liu Xiaoman's soul was immediately absorbed into the flag. Then I rolled the flag on the flagpole and put the paper flag away.
This Liu Xiaoman was used as bait by me tonight, and I absolutely cannot let him die.
As soon as I put away the paper flags, bursts of cold wind blew around me, making the leaves above my head rustle, and the branches covering my head began to sway and tremble. It felt like the whole tree was shaking. It seems to have come alive.
I quickly made a few talismans, stepped back, and looked up warily.
When I saw this, my scalp immediately exploded. I saw that the tree crown above my head was actually densely packed with people. At a glance, almost everyone was there.
Dozens of people were just hanging on the trees, swaying back and forth like swings when the wind blew, which made my eyes dizzy.
And those people who were hanging on the tree were now hanging down one after another.
Suddenly I felt a chill coming over my head. When I looked up, there was a figure hanging down directly above me, almost falling on my head.
I quickly kneaded the secret and recited the incantation, then raised my hand and threw out a few Five Thunder Talisman.
The figures that fell down were hit by the Five Thunder Talisman, and they suddenly let out a scream, then turned into streaks of black energy and dissipated in the blink of an eye.
It seems that the evil ghosts have not escaped, but these ordinary lonely ghosts are not a threat to me. I can destroy them by casting spells, but this scene looks a bit scary.
I quickly formed a few more Five Thunder Talismans and threw them out, then turned around and ran away.
These lonely ghosts are just puppets controlled by the other party. It doesn't make much sense to destroy them. Besides, it's not good for me to waste them like this. It's easy for the other party to trap them, so I just ran away.
It wasn't until I left the area covered by the old tree branches and leaves that I felt that the oppressive atmosphere had eased a little, and the negative energy was no longer so heavy.
It seems that there is definitely something wrong with this old pear tree and it needs to be cut down.
As I was thinking about it, I looked back at the old pear tree.
But when I looked at it, I suddenly discovered that the outline of a human face actually appeared on the trunk of the old pear tree.
It felt quite weird, like I was hallucinating, but I did see the outline of a human face from the tree trunk, and the face seemed to be smiling.
I suddenly had a bad feeling, and was about to turn around and run away, when several graves around me suddenly burst open, and corpses crawled out of the graves.
