To the south of Xingqing City, everything was a mess.
He swiftly opened the curtain on the carriage and saw a group of civilians running around in the street like mindless wasps. Their heads were bruised and bleeding without realizing it, and they even beat each other. The scene was chaotic.
He had a headache.
Although most of these ghost techniques only create chaos and are unlikely to endanger human life, if such chaos continues, it will obviously be very bad for people's livelihood.
It would be great if he still had some cultivation. With the sixth or seventh realm of cultivation of that ghostly woman, he could kill her with just a snap of his hands with his previous cultivation. But now, he was a little embarrassed by this woman.
This made him a little angry.
When could a little ghost cultivator make him angry?
That ghost woman is also a cunning and cunning person. Ghost cultivators are always good at hiding and escaping. Once they are determined to run away, there is a special secret method of ghost cultivators that allows them to escape by following the shadow of an object. Even monks in the seventh or even eighth realm find it difficult to find traces.
However, the combat capabilities of ghost cultivators are very limited. Those imps can only bully civilians and low-level monks, but they are useless against high-level monks.
Moreover, ghost cultivators can easily be restrained. If they are holding a Buddhist Bodhi Seed, a Taoist mahogany sword, or a talisman specially designed to restrain ghosts, they can only be captured without any help. This is why ghost cultivators are so slow. The reason for the slow decline.
But at this time, this woman still caused a lot of trouble for Ling Li.
Just dispersing these civilians who were confused by ghost magic was a lot of trouble, and now, the last thing that Ling Li could not afford to waste was time.
Ling Li got down from the sedan pulled by the carriage, feeling a little impatient. He then waved his hand to the guards behind him not to follow him, and walked into a dark alley alone.
He walked around for a long time before arriving at a dilapidated and neglected pavilion.
This pavilion is hidden in the southernmost corner of the prosperous Xingqing City. No one has set foot in it for countless years. The door of the house is full of dust and overgrown with weeds. There is also a lone well in the yard in front of the pavilion, which has been dry for an unknown number of years.
He bent down sharply, picked up a small wooden stick, and pushed aside the spider webs in front of him, shocking several spiders and running away like crazy.
He walked in, looked around, then walked to the well and sat down against the edge.
He said to the empty pavilion: "I am the only one here, let's have a good talk."
There was silence all around, not even the sound of wind.
There was a bit of ridicule on Ling Li's face, and he said: "Why, are you really as timid as the rumors outside? If you are timid, how dare you go against the imperial court like this in Xingqing City?"
Ling Li said: "I know you have the Demon Sect instigating you behind your back, and you have no choice but to do these things. But you can believe me, I am also the enemy of the Demon Sect, and we can be said to be on the same front. Come out, don't be afraid of me, I know You don’t want to kill anyone, otherwise those people outside who have been possessed by ghosts will die. We can discuss a deal. As long as you can give me information about the Demon Sect, I will have a way to help you escape from the Demon Sect."
For a long time, there was still silence all around.
Ling Li tapped the edge of the well a few times with the small wooden stick in his hand, as if to relieve his boredom.
He closed his eyes for a moment, seeming to be recuperating.
When he opened his eyes again, a person appeared out of thin air in the yard, Ling Li didn't move at all.
He looked at the ghost person in front of him and said with a little surprise: "I didn't expect that the ghost woman they were talking about turned out to be an old woman. I thought she was one of those beautiful-looking but snake-hearted women." Where’s the little woman?”
The old woman was about five feet away from Ling Li, leaning against the corner, and asked him warily: "Do you think there is any way you can help me?"
Ling Li said: "Why are you so afraid of me? If there was a reason in the past, but now I am just an ordinary person, and you are so far away from me? If you are further away, my old ears will hardly be able to hear what you are saying. .”
The old woman obviously ignored his words and continued to ask: "Is there anything you can do to help me?"
Ling Li said: "Of course there are ways, and there are many, but you have to pay a price. If you don't tell me what plan the Demon Sect is plotting, how can I protect you?"
The old woman was obviously shaken, but then she shook her head and said, "No, I can't say it."
Ling Li smiled and said: "They put a restriction on you, the kind of restriction that will explode immediately if the secret is revealed? I can break through that almost worn out spell. What are you afraid of? Come here , I’ll help you break this spell, and then we’ll talk about business.”
The old woman shook her head and said, "No, how can I trust you?"
Ling said: "If you can't trust me, can you trust the Demon Sect? Do you think you have the secret of the Demon Sect, and the Demon Sect can keep you? You are probably looking for a way to survive. Think about it, once this matter is over, how can you trust the Demon Sect?" The use value of Zong is over. Yao Zong wants to kill you in order to keep silent. You have offended the court, and the court wants to kill you. Where can you escape? Why not tell me Yao Zong’s plan now while you have the opportunity? When the time comes, the imperial court will protect you, and the Demon Sect will not spend such a high price to kill you. Only in this way will you have a way to survive."
The old woman looked hesitant, but after struggling for a while, she finally replied: "Okay, I promise you, but you must break this spell for me first."
Ling Li said: "Okay, then come here."
The old woman still looked at Ling Li with some fear, and then walked over.
Ling Li took out a yellow paper charm from his sleeve. The old woman was suddenly startled and took several steps back.
He looked at her sharply and mockingly, shook off the paper talisman in his hand, and said: "See clearly, it's just a locking talisman to help you break the forbidden spell. Otherwise, with my lack of cultivation now, I can't take it What can I do to help you?"
The old woman cautiously did not step forward, but casually grabbed it in the direction of the pavilion, and an invisible force came out with a vague humanoid object.
He glanced sharply at the ugly ghost and brought the talisman in his hand closer to the ghost.
Nothing happened.
Ling Li said: "Do you believe me? This is not a talisman to deal with ghost cultivators."
The old woman was still suspicious.
His sharp expression turned ugly.
The old woman seemed to be angry when she saw Ling Li, so she quickly flattered him and said, "Master Imperial Master, don't worry, I know what to do. I was just a little frightened by Master Imperial Master's handiwork, so I'll come right away."
She ran to Ling Li in small steps, squatted down flatteringly, and looked at Ling Li.
Ling Li took out the talisman and placed it on the old woman's body. The talisman quickly turned into a little spiritual light and penetrated into the old woman's body. The process seemed quite mysterious.
After the talisman was cast, the old woman seemed to have received amnesty and took a deep breath.
She closed her eyes and felt the restriction set by the Demon Sect in her body being lifted, feeling extremely relaxed.
These days, she has been worried about this restriction that may break out at any time and kill her. Now that she is finally pardoned, why should she be unhappy?
She hurriedly thanked: "I, Qin, will definitely repay the great kindness of the Imperial Master! I will take the Demon Sect's..."
The voice of the old woman surnamed Qin stopped suddenly.
A small wooden stick penetrated her back and pierced her heart.
The front end of the small wooden stick pierced through her chest, leaving blood flowing along the wooden stick and dripping on the ground.
Tick tock tick…
Only the sound of blood could be heard.
The old woman had a look of disbelief on her face, and her face quickly turned pale, as if she were really a ghost. She whispered in horror: "Why...why do you want to kill me? I can obviously tell you the truth, don't you want to know the secret of the Demon Sect!"
He smiled sharply: "I almost already know what the Demon Sect is plotting. I was still a little suspicious before, but now that you have appeared here, my idea has been confirmed. What else do I need from you?"
The old woman murmured: "This wooden stick... is the thunder peach wood of Zixia Sect... I was careless..."
Ling Li said: "You know a lot, and it's not in vain that you have lived so long."
For a moment, she seemed to have exhausted her last strength, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "I was just ordered by others, and I did not kill any people in Xingqing. I am just a miserable person, why did you kill me?!"
He stood up sharply, turned his back to her who had fallen down, and said softly: "In the world of cultivation, there are never any miserable people."
The old woman only had hatred in her heart, and she shouted: "Even if I die, I will drag you down!"
Her life passed quickly, and as her life passed faster, the noise in the dilapidated attic became louder and louder, until a huge black shadow flew out of the attic.
As soon as the black shadow came out, it turned into many wild ghosts, and their roars and screams could drive people crazy.
All the wild ghosts surrounded Ling Li and rushed toward him crazily.
Ling Li took out a talisman again, which was a very high-grade Nine Sun Exorcism Talisman.
The talisman disappears in an instant.
Suddenly, the heaven and earth became pure.
He glanced sharply at the old woman who had been forced to overdraw her vitality and bleed to death from her orifices, and said, "Are you worthy?"
