Although he didn't know anything about this, Ling Qing looked at the dissipating clouds above his head and felt somewhat prepared.
I don't know whether it was the transformation from a ghost into a human, or whether this change was caused by the fact that my body did not gain an identity.
Such movement will definitely attract some people's attention.
But it doesn't matter now. With the cover of the Lingbao Talisman Flag, he is confident that no one can discover him.
And he is not restricted by anything in this world.
After raising his hand and sending out a burst of magic power and seeing that there was nothing unusual, Ling Qing calmly put away the Earthly Evil Formation and recalled the Alien Dragon Staff.
Carrying the dragon staff to protect himself, he used natural communication to have a conversation with the surrounding plants.
Although most of the surrounding plants were eroded by evil spirits, the messages conveyed seemed like ghost words spoken in sleep, which were somewhat similar to the ghost words Zhu Guang had read before.
But he did get some information from it.
There is an unusually powerful plant on the mountain to the east, and there is a small county town going down the mountain to the west.
Lingqing thought for a while and decided to go to the town first to see what the world was like now.
Then go to the mountain to explore the powerful plant that should have become a spirit. Plants and trees that become spirits rarely move around frequently, so it doesn't matter if you go later.
When he arrived at the city gate, it was already closed.
But it's normal. At this time, even a normal ancient world would have closed its city gates early.
Not to mention this kind of world filled with evil spirits and rampant demons.
Looking up, I saw three words vaguely displayed on the city gate.
Guobei County!
"Guobei County? Not Jinhua? Is this "Nie Xiaoqian" or "A Chinese Ghost Story"?"
Seeing this name, Ling Qing thought to himself.
According to the article "Nie Xiaoqian" in Zhiyi.
Ning Caichen found a temple to live in the northern suburbs of Jinhua because he was having an examination due to the envoys and the houses in the city were expensive.
There is no Guobei County in the story.
However, there is an old movie called "A Chinese Ghost Story" in which the story unfolds in a small county called Guobei County.
"It seems that the powerful plant on the mountain refers to the tree demon grandma."
While Ling Qing was thinking about it, he found a secluded place and climbed over the city wall into the city.
There are some objects on the city wall to suppress demons and ward off evil spirits, but they can only stop ordinary wandering demons.
How can one stop Ling Qing?
What's more, what he practiced was authentic Taoist Kung Fu, so how could this anti-monster weapon work on him?
Entering the city, he casually used spirit-binding techniques along the way to break through several places where the evil was strong.
Due to some accident in the future, some ghosts such as earthbound spirits were born.
It can be considered as a good deed every day.
After a while, I came to an inn. There were two lanterns hanging in front of the door, but the door was tightly closed.
"Pa bang bang~"
Lingqing noticed that there were still people in the hall, stepped forward, stretched out his hand, patted the door and shouted.
"Host, Pindao missed the place where he stayed. I wonder if it would be convenient for him to allow Pindao to stay overnight?"
The man held a Bagua bronze mirror and carefully walked to the door without looking through the crack in the door. He just said loudly.
"It's getting late. The county has regulations that no more guests are allowed after dark. I'll forgive you, Taoist priest, and I'll go to the Tutu Temple in the west of the city to stay for a night."
"Thanks to the store for the advice."
Lingqing asked a few more questions, but saw that he was determined and had no choice. After asking for the route, he thanked him and turned around and walked towards the Earth Temple in the west of the city.
It seems that there are really fierce demons in this world. In general places, the shopkeepers refuse others because they are on guard against evildoers.
Here we are on guard against monsters and ghosts.
Even if he claimed to be a Taoist, the store would not dare to open the door after dark.
I don’t know if this store owner is being careful or if it’s just the norm in this world.
Following the store's instructions, Lingqing came to a dilapidated earth temple in the west of the city.
From a distance, he noticed that this place had become an empty temple.
The land that was supposed to be stationed here has long since disappeared.
Lingqing came to the temple, cleared an open space, sat cross-legged on it, and recited the Divine Mantra of Purifying Heaven and Earth and the Divine Mantra of Andi.
Sweeping away the evil and filthy air around him, he immediately felt that the sticky feeling around his body disappeared.
Some of the snakes, insects, rats and ants around, who had adapted to the evil atmosphere, also rustled away from the changed atmosphere.
On the second day, Lingqing walked around the city and asked about some situations.
I learned that the world today is the Ming Dynasty, but it was already the end of the dynasty.
At this time, the world was in chaos, natural and man-made disasters continued to occur, the people were in dire straits, and rebel armies from all over the country rose up one after another.
There are monsters and ghosts everywhere in the world wreaking havoc on the world, which is much more tragic than what happened in "Laoshan Taoist".
"Alas, manpower is sometimes poor, and even poor people can't do anything."
Ling Qing couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the group of knights beside him, who were called knights specializing in catching fugitives, but were actually ruffians causing havoc on the streets.
It seems that at this time when the world is divided and reunited, there are injustices everywhere.
He thought that he did not have the ability to support the dragon and stabilize the cauldron and relieve the people from hanging upside down, so he could only take care of the things around him and save himself.
After thinking about it, he shook his head, bought some application items, and left a trace of his own magic power in a conspicuous place with the secret method of clearing.
So that when Zhu Guang passes by, he can find himself.
After leaving the city gate, we walked along the way we came, towards the place pointed by the grass and trees.
After a while, I saw a hill covered with tall locust trees.
But in his eyes, these locust trees are all the same tree, born from one root.
The mountains above are filled with mist, and the forest of shadows is deep and dark, making it look like an ominous place.
"It seems that this is the grandma. She is a tree demon, not a yaksha ghost."
Lingqing muttered to himself and walked towards the mountain.
As soon as I stepped into the forest, I felt an inexplicable wave enveloping the entire forest.
A gust of wind blew by, making the surrounding branches and leaves rustle, as if something was whispering.
After just a few steps, it felt like we were already deep in the forest and there was no way back.
However, this is just the illusion of the tree demon, and it is of no use to Lingqing, who has the ability to resist the temptation and protection of nature.
He could easily see through these illusions, and through the heart of nature's natural induction of plants, he could clearly detect the location of each locust tree.
Ling Qing had no intention of cracking it. He just sensed the guidance of the surrounding trees and walked forward. After a while, he came to a dilapidated small temple.
There is a stone tablet erected in front of the temple gate with the words "Lanruo Temple" written on it.
I saw that this small temple was not big, and looked like broken bricks and tiles. The wormwood around it was as tall as a person, and the plaque on the door had long since disappeared.
Walking in through the closed gate, there are statues of the four heavenly kings on both sides.
There is a large pool in the courtyard, which is filled with fallen leaves. It has been abandoned for I don’t know how long it has been.
There are two monks' houses on the left and right. Opposite the courtyard gate is a two-story majestic hall with a resting roof and a clump of bamboos next to it.
Further back is a forest of pagodas, densely packed with hundreds of stupas.
Judging from the appearance of the temple tower, this temple was quite majestic when it was built.
But now the surrounding buildings are dilapidated, looking like they have been in decline for a long time.
Apart from some traces of campfires, there was no sign of permanent habitation.
The legendary swordsman Yan Chixia was also missing.
I guess I haven’t settled here yet.
