Zhang Wenfeng used his martial arts Qinggong, and performed it more easily and conveniently than usual. He moved like smoke, leaving almost no footprints on the mud. There were two dots of cinnabar ink stained on Yin Gui's body. He was not worried if they were farther apart. Chasing lost.
After chasing through the short mountains and forests, they caught up with the official road from the small road, and chased all the way to the small town of Hexi, which was five miles away.
The black mist flying in the air suddenly accelerated and pounced on a figure staggering away towards the field path.
"ah……"
The man who failed to cast the spell suffered from bleeding from the mouth and nose. He was weak and slow to react. He held a yellow paper talisman in his hand and couldn't activate it by chanting the spell. How could he withstand the pain of the evil spirit biting his soul? He shouted intermittently:
"...Junior Brother Wenfeng, please... spare my life..."
He didn't know where the mistake was, which caused the ghost to backfire and get out of hand.
He definitely couldn't do it on his own. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even recite the spell.
He could only ask for help from the approaching black figure. He guessed who was chasing him, so he just thought he had grabbed a straw after falling into the water, and only someone could save him.
Zhang Wenfeng stepped forward from the darkness, with a sneer on his lips as he learned the true identity of the thief.
As for who was causing the trouble, it turned out to be the fifth senior brother Lu Jinzhong who was finally sent away half a year before his master passed away.
Looking at the miserable figure who rolled down and scratched in the ditch of the field, Zhang Wenfeng looked down from a high position and asked coldly: "Who instigated you? Tell me and I can save your life."
It is easy for him to rescue someone. He has several ways to destroy the ghost on the other party.
Of course, he was just talking verbally to trick the other party into telling the truth.
He wanted to know why Lu Jinzhong wanted to use sinister and evil techniques to assassinate him. The Taoism taught by Xianling Temple did not have these harmful and evil methods. Is it because he was trying to seize the position of the master of Xianling Temple?
Or was he ordered to do so? Or is there another reason?
He works in a clear manner, and after figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, he can make subsequent decisions and take precautions.
The thief who caused the death of his host would not be relieved until he saw the other party die with his own eyes.
The figure, whose face was twisted in pain, hissed: "No one ordered it...it was me...I am obsessed with it."
Zhang Wenfeng's face was expressionless and his eyes were cold. "We don't have much time. You don't have to tell the truth. I don't care. You just have to taste the taste of the ghost's backlash and devouring your soul."
The man scratched his face and neck until his flesh and blood were bloody, with white bones exposed in some places. He could not find out the backlash in his body. Seeing that his junior brother, who had always been talkative, gentle and inexperienced, had a heart of stone and was really determined to die without saving him, he panicked. .
If he didn't tell him, he would die immediately. He couldn't survive for long, so he shouted:
"It's Shengzi...ah...ah..."
He might die, but there was still a chance of survival. He could only survive first and then find a way to escape.
Before he could finish speaking, a cloud of black mist suddenly emerged from the pocket of Lu Jinzhong's night jacket, turned into a demon and pounced on him, biting his neck hard, preventing Lu Jinzhong from continuing to speak, and the bite caused Lu Jinzhong to change his tone. scream.
Zhang Wenfeng retreated ten feet away in surprise, and he actually got some unexpected information out of him.
This wolf-hearted thief colluded with outsiders and dared to plot against him to seize the Immortal Spirit Temple. None of the other four senior brothers and sisters who were sent down the mountain by the master a few years ago were named Sheng, so they can basically eliminate direct suspicion.
He showed the bronze Bagua mirror in his hand, hurriedly recited the incantation, and shouted: "Go!"
The mirror surface that had been re-painted with cinnabar ink sparked a faint red light, which shone on the extremely vigorous evil ghost.
"Poof", a burst of smelly mist surged from the evil ghost. The spell activated by the bronze Bagua Mirror destroyed half of the cold energy, which aroused the evil ghost's ferocity. He left the dying Lu Jinzhong and turned back. Zhang Wenfeng pounced, the cold air was overwhelming.
The sound of a dog screaming suddenly came from the direction of Hexi Town.
The dogs in the town started barking one after another, suddenly breaking the tranquility of the town at night.
Zhang Wenfeng stepped backwards, not walking in a straight line. He dodged left and right very quickly, leading the evil ghost in an arc.
Even though he had cultivated in Huaqi Realm and advanced to the ranks of immortal cultivators, he was still cautious and did not dare to let evil spirits get on him.
He finished the incantation in his mouth quickly and looked at it with the bronze mirror again. This time he used a little more Yuan Qi than last time.
You don't have much mana, so you have to be careful and use it sparingly.
He also wanted to keep some mana in case Lu Jinzhong's accomplices secretly attacked him.
The red light shot out from the mirror, turning into a thin humanoid shadow. The evil ghost with low intelligence and bared teeth and claws could not escape. It let out a faint wail and disappeared into the night sky. The biting cold air in the vicinity quickly dissipated.
Zhang Wenfeng rushed to the vicinity of the tumbling Lu Jinzhong in a few steps. A step too late, he saw him pinching his neck with both hands, pinching himself until his pupils were blurred and his face was bruised. He took his last breath, and the ghost that came back was naturally Die with him and cease to exist.
He shook his head slightly, thinking that he would not survive because of his own misfortune.
It was a pity that he could not get out all the information about the hidden thief.
He picked up the unexcited yellow paper talisman in the mud and looked at it. It was a ghost-repelling talisman drawn using the method of the Fairy Spiritual Viewer.
This guy was obviously prepared to prevent the evil ghost from backlashing him if he failed to cast the spell, but he just didn't have time.
Putting the yellow paper charm into his sleeve, Zhang Wenfeng saw that the barking of dogs was still lively in the town, and the people in the town who woke up were scolding the dogs, so he pinched his throat and screamed: "Kill, help!"
He was worried that after he left, thieves hiding somewhere would take away the body and destroy it.
It was impossible for him to stay here, and he didn't want to take the body to the Taoist temple, lest the thieves in the dark create misunderstandings and cause trouble, so he would make things worse.
Alert the police officer in charge of public security in the town and ask them to take the body and report the murder to the city.
The dogs in the town heard defiant screams coming from the wild, and another burst of fierce barking.
After a while, someone finally came to the dark field here holding a torch and leading a hunting dog. Zhang Wenfeng took a closer look. The five people who came had weapons in their hands, shining brightly with their torches, wearing hunting uniforms, and swearing. To give myself courage.
There were also a few idlers who had been woken up and were helping out with short sticks to join in the fun.
When Zhang Wenfeng waited for those people to get closer, he deliberately made some noise, causing the hunting dogs to tug on the ropes and bark wildly.
He drifted away towards the south, ignoring the shouts and screams of several You Xi. It was dark in the wild, not on a moonlit day, so You Xi didn't dare to chase him, and they couldn't catch up with him.
For the time being, let You Xi guard the body to prevent it from falling into the hands of thieves. It will soon be the fifth watch and dawn is not far away.
After inviting someone to guard the Taoist temple in the morning, he had to go to the city.
Of course, this matter would not just end there. Whether it was him or the hidden thief, they had already formed a life-or-death feud. He might as well take the initiative and find out the whereabouts of that guy named "Sheng Zi" or something like that.
He wants to use external force to catch the thief.
