Lu Changkong and others rushed back to Duxian City. They were very angry and searched for several hours in the heavily protected city, which was only allowed in and out. When it was getting dark, several fourth-level monks who came from the Eastern Continent, led by He Guangjun, Fly into the city.
Everyone was seated in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, divided into guests and hosts, including He Qiyuan who was recovering from his injuries.
After hearing He Qiyuan and Bao Qinghua recount the tragic events that happened this morning, He Guangjun conferred with a few people who came with them and asked: "Master Fayuan, you and Master He have had contact with that ghost. Are you trying to figure out the whereabouts of ghosts?"
Monk Fayuan and He Qiyuan looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
The magicians competed with each other to find out who was better. The ghost who understood the skills of the magicians used "unintentional calculations" to make them suffer a hidden loss, but it did not result in nothing.
"The bluffing fourth-level ghost and its accomplices were trapped in the city. In a hurry, a ghost took away the soul of fellow Taoist Mu Yunyuan, and he didn't have time to escape from the city. This is an important clue. As for the one outside the city, You can ignore ghosts for now."
Monk Fayuan said slowly.
Otherwise, the city will be closed and all the monks in the city will be mobilized to search for how many hours?
"Oh, haven't you found any traces of the ghost yet?"
He Guangjun asked nervously. He had already heard that several monks from the Vast Continent went to see Master Zhang for a sparring session in the morning. The silent young monk with a pale face only took three moves from Master Zhang, and then he was defeated by a shoulder-piercing attack. He lost miserably.
Now that he has arrived at the Duxian Islands, all passing monks who want to compete with each other in the future can come at him. Lao Zhang rests while he does so. He really likes fighting.
"Ghosts are cunning. There have been several times when ghosts have been spotted and they have blended into the mortal crowd and escaped."
Lu Changkong added gloomily.
Mu Yunyuan was injured in broad daylight in the city, and Master He Qiyuan was almost killed. He was very angry and couldn't let it out.
He Guangjun glanced at the expressions of several people and knew that Monk Fayuan was concerned about human lives and that the others were not very clever. He suggested: "I heard that Guanzhu Zhang is also on Duxian Island. He is an expert in catching ghosts. If you invite him here, maybe you can find a way to find it." To the ghosts in the city?”
He has full confidence in Zhang Guanzhu. He really doesn’t know what these people do for food. Without inviting such a good helper, a group of people messed around in the city for most of the day.
Monk Fayuan smiled and said, "That's exactly what the poor monk meant."
When He Guangjun saw that Fayuan agreed, how could he pay attention to the opinions of the outside monks? He immediately stood up and walked out of the hall, flew outside the formation and took out the yellow talisman, muttered a few words silently and waved it out.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhang Wenfeng rushed to Duxian City in the dark, exchanged greetings with everyone, and after hearing the whole story, he promised to do his best to search for hidden fourth-level ghosts in the city throughout the night.
Everyone led countless third-level monks and used their own methods to explore the whereabouts of the ghosts in the city until daylight.
Three lake-like shadows appeared above the sea in the east. The shadow in the middle smiled strangely and said: "I won't bother you all to send me away. Ghosts have their way, so let's go!"
He Guangjun, Zhang Guanzhu and others rushed out of the city and rushed to the sea. The three shadows had long since disappeared.
Later, several fourth-level hexagram masters, divination masters, and magicians came from Jidong Continent to figure out the whereabouts of the three ghosts. However, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no clue, and the three ghosts never showed up to cause trouble again.
Half a year later, the eucalyptus made by the ghost became a hanging eucalyptus.
Lu Changkong and others could not stay in the Duxian Islands for a long time, so they all turned their backs on it.
Zhang Wenfeng traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Duxian Island, looking for sinister places to perform deeds to save the remaining souls. His actions also inspired Taoist monks from Da'an and Dayi Dynasties in the Eastern Continent, especially Taoist cultivators who practiced Nian Gong, to follow suit one after another. Travel across the continent to visit ancient battlefields or places where yin energy gathers to practice transcendental deeds, accumulate merit, and hone your mindfulness skills.
After several years of command, Zhang Wenfeng finally completed the cleaning of the jade bones. He deliberately settled in a city at the northern end of Duxian Island, rented an inn in a single courtyard, and began to draw puppet runes on the jade bones and skeletons.
You Mengchang, who was hidden in the water-gathering bead, turned into black energy and floated to the ground, watching Taoist Zhang making the talisman puppet.
I wonder where Old Man You hid all the ghosts and treasures he collected?
Every time a bone was drawn, the two had to exchange their thoughts on runes. Each had their own strengths and gained something from each other. Time passed slowly in the discussion between the two.
You Mengchang never went out again, tinkering in the yard refining some small items.
He had countless materials and treasures on him, and occasionally he showed off the small treasures he had made and flexibly displayed them in the yard. Zhang Wenfeng took a fancy to them and took them as his own.
I stayed in the city for more than half a year. During this period, except for his apprentice Zhang Xuan'an who came to greet me once in a long time, only He Guangjun came to visit, and others could not disturb him.
After the last and most critical process of awakening the soul, the rune bone puppet was finally successfully refined. Putting on the transforming ghost clothes given by You Mengchang, the jade-framed body transformed into a tall and thin man, almost the same as a real person, with the expression of The power is equivalent to that of a fourth-level monk.
You Mengchang was also very satisfied with the puppet that had been completed after several years of meritorious deeds. He said: "Equip this puppet with a few more magical weapons. Its combat power will not be weaker than that of ordinary fourth-level monks. Also, because of its puppet characteristics, it has no fear of life or death. A body of jade bones can withstand magic weapons, fire, electricity and other attacks, and will be a hidden trump card for you from now on."
Zhang Wenfeng said with a smile: "Walking around the world, traveling to foreign lands, I don't prepare many means, but I always feel unsure. After I practice the Five-fold Sword Formation with the two puppets, I can set off to the vast continent in a year."
He controlled the rune bone puppet to make various movements in the yard, and added: "I will leave it to you, Mr. You, to refine the magic weapon for the jade bone puppet."
You Meng grew up and said, "It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
In addition to the involvement of Taoist priests in the matter of revenge, he was very interested in improving the strength of the jade bone puppet.
He is a master of refining puppets, and gave guidance: "As much as possible, let the puppets follow the soul consciousness and strengthen their instincts. Don't interfere too much. Don't be afraid of mistakes in the early stage. Try boldly. The two puppets you have are of good quality. Spend some time honing it and you will be pleasantly surprised in the future.”
Zhang Wenfeng followed the advice and gave it a try, letting the two puppets work as servants in the yard while practicing swordsmanship, breaking countless pots and pots.
After the heavy rain that day, the sky was like a wash, and a rainbow hung in the east sky.
You Mengchang suddenly became invisible and escaped into Jushui Zhuzhu, transmitting a message: "A guest is coming."
Zhang Wenfeng walked out of the main room, walked through the small courtyard, opened the courtyard door, looked at the mountain chief who stopped outside the door, smiled and held his hands in his hands: "Congratulations to the second senior brother for being promoted to the golden elixir! The second senior brother seems to have another chance, and his demeanor is different from before. The divine beauty is restrained, but the pearl of wisdom is in hand.”
He purely expressed his feelings, but he also spoke the truth.
The mountain chief smiled and returned the greeting: "The temple master is overly praised, and we ourselves are not in the mood to flatter him. A few years ago, when I was traveling abroad, I did get an opportunity left by a senior divination master. I won't ask for your help."
Zhang Xuanan, who accompanied the mountain chief, interjected: "The mountain chief looks very distinguished now."
The great change of the mountain chief is obvious to all. He used to be a majestic elder with a high air, but now he has a heavy bearing from the inside out. It is awe-inspiring to look at him, especially those eyes that seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts. demon.
Zhang Wenfeng extended his hand to invite the person into the guest house and asked with a smile: "What important matter requires the mountain chief to go there in person? Just send the message from Feijian and I will go back."
The mountain chief glanced at the tall and thin man watering the flowers and trees in the yard, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Where did the master find the servant? It turned out to be a fourth-level master.
"The puppet I made had an illusory appearance, which made the mountain chief laugh. That guy was so clumsy that he broke many of my flower pots and dishes..."
Before Zhang Wenfeng finished speaking, the tall and thin man got too strong in his hand and broke the water ladle in his hand. The water in the ladle splashed all over the ground. Zhang Wenfeng stroked his forehead.
The mountain chief looked away with a smile and said: "You help me send five little ghosts into the underworld. It's a little troublesome. I have to ensure that they can cleanse their sins and have a chance to enter reincarnation."
It is precisely because of this trouble that it is difficult to eliminate the calamity. He has to make a trip.
