Hearing this, Mu Qing'er's pretty face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly asked: "Why, Brother Ninth, I want to go with you!"
"Silly girl, there are a lot of underworld agents dispatched this time, plus Black and White Wuchang personally take action. If you follow me, aren't you throwing yourself into a trap?"
I stretched out my hand and rubbed Mu Qing'er's head, then took out three talisman papers from my pocket and handed them to the latter, and then said: "These three talismans are custom-made by the Nine Gods. They can protect you in times of crisis. The Five Immortals There are five great leaders in the temple, plus a mountain-protecting formation. As long as you don't go out, the people in the underworld won't notice."
"But Brother Ninth, the Ghost Festival hasn't come yet, so the secrets about me shouldn't be discovered, right?"
Mu Qing'er still didn't give up because she didn't want to stay alone in the mountain.
"Fool, ordinary Yins can't detect it, but what about Black and White? They are Yin gods. If this secret in your body is discovered, you will definitely be detained on the spot. The Yin gods in the underworld are no worse than Yin. Even the five masters Even the great leaders dare not interfere at will, so Ninth Brother has no choice but to do this."
I smiled helplessly, but in my heart I still wanted to see what the legendary black and white impermanence was like, but I couldn't take the risk with Mu Qing'er, because if something happened to the latter, the Huang family would definitely go berserk, and they would take the blame. Sorry.
"Okay... okay, Ninth Brother, you must be careful. Qing'er won't run around. Grandpa is here."
After hesitating for a moment, Mu Qing'er compromised. She knew I was doing it for her own good.
"That's good. By the way, isn't that boy Kong Ming back yet?"
At this time, I looked around and found that I still didn't see Kong Ming's figure.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from behind: "Amitabha, it seems that the young monk still has a certain place in your heart..."
Hearing this, I turned around and saw Kong Ming walking towards me with a man with a short haircut and wearing casual clothes.
"Hey, you still think of this as your own home, and you dare to recruit anyone back."
The moment I saw him, a flash of displeasure flashed across my eyes.
"Amitabha, this is the junior monk's senior brother. Although he has returned to secular life, this time he came to solve the matter of the Emperor Star under the orders of the abbot."
Kong Ming on the side saw this and quickly explained with a smile.
"Hello, I am Kong Ming's senior brother. My name before returning to secular life was Kong Wen. The benefactor must be Chen Jiuyang. Killing Star is in front of you, and his aura is indeed extraordinary."
Kong Wen extended his hand in a friendly manner, then smiled at me.
"Don't be too polite. It just so happens that you and this boy Kong Ming are going down the mountain with me to catch ghosts."
Although I wasn't very happy, I still shook hands with my opponent politely.
After the words fell, Kong Ming and Kong Wen were stunned.
"Catch ghosts, what's going on?"
Kong Ming's face was full of confusion. He hadn't been out much these days and had no idea about the news from the outside world.
"A group of ghosts have been lost in the underworld recently, and some of them have appeared in the north, so I want my young master to help capture them. As Buddhist disciples, you two are not going to just sit back and watch, right?"
After lighting the cigarette in my mouth, I slowly blew out the rich white mist, and then responded calmly.
"That's good, that young monk will do his best to help. If the ghost is allowed to cause harm to the world, it will definitely endanger all living beings."
Hearing this, Kong Ming took the lead and clasped his hands together.
"Well, losing a ghost in the underworld is not a trivial matter. Count me in. I haven't done anything for a long time. I just want to test whether my body is rusty."
Kong Wen smiled. Unlike Kong Ming, his eyes were full of sharpness, completely lacking the gentleness that the latter exuded.
"Okay, as long as everyone is here, it will take a long time to go down the mountain this time. After all, those ghosts will not show up during the day, they can only show up at night. We will search door to door along the way, and people from the main hall and the underworld will also come together. Take action and take it if you can, and kill those who can't."
After arranging my things, I started to give instructions.
"Amitabha, let the ghosts be dealt with by the underworld. The young monk cannot be like you, the donor."
When he heard my last words, Kong Ming shook his head quickly.
"Kong Ming, you are still too gentle. There are three, six, and nine levels of ghosts. We are only responsible for subduing them, but we do not ensure their safety. If you don't dare to attack evil ghosts, senior brother can do it for you."
At this time, Kong Wen laughed loudly. Unlike Kong Ming, he was a lay disciple who did not abide by any Buddhist rules. Moreover, he himself was not a very rule-abiding person, otherwise he would not have chosen to return to secular life.
"That's right, Kong Ming. Learn from your senior brother. If you worry about everything all day long, you will end up harming yourself sooner or later."
Kong Wen's words really appeal to my taste. After all, it's still unclear what those ghosts are like. As the former said, if you encounter evil ghosts, you won't bother to subdue them. Wouldn't it be easier to rectify the law on the spot?
"Oh, if I had known that the young monk wouldn't have brought you here with him..."
Seeing that Kongwen and I had a tacit agreement in our opinions, Kongming suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
After a while, the three of us hurried down the mountain.
Since it was daytime, there was no way for the evil spirits to appear, so the main hall could only send someone to convey the news.
"Go to the village in front and have a look. The people in the main hall said that something evil seems to have happened. The village's entrance hall can't handle it. They suspect that there are escaped evil spirits hiding among them."
On the way, I also received a letter from the main hall. You said that by coincidence, that village was the place where Li Dazhuang's family had an accident.
"I saw it. There are actually evil spirits lingering in the village in broad daylight. The evil spirits in the north are comparable to those in the south. If you have a chance, go to the south and have a look. There are a lot of strange things there."
Kongwen quickly glanced around, and immediately saw the faint black air rising above the village.
"Quickly pull them down. There are people from the Taoist Association in the south. They can't deal with any monsters. I don't have time to get involved."
When I heard the other party mention the South, I thought of Zhou Qiankun, and the past of the Human Skin Inn suddenly came to mind.
However, when Kong Wen heard the words Taoist Association, he suddenly laughed and said, "No, my eldest brother learned the Maoshan Zhengfa. Killing demons is not a problem."
Ding!
As soon as I finished speaking, I hurriedly stopped and asked Kongwen, "What did you say? Who is your elder brother?"
"My eldest brother is the president of the Taoist Association. What, donor, do you know him?"
When Kong heard that I had a strange expression, he immediately smiled and asked.
"That's so familiar. I didn't expect you to be his younger brother. It's really unlucky. This can also happen to me."
I was holding a cigarette, speechless written all over my face.
"How can I say this? Is it possible that my eldest brother has a problem with you, the donor?"
Kong Wen, who was unaware, frowned. My words made him a little confused.
