But why did Taoist Master Xuan Ming among them use ghosts to do such harm to innocent people?
"What kind of ghost are you?"
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask the little girl.
"I, I am not a ghost, but a ghost demon..."
The little girl said shakily.
Ghost?
I couldn't help but be stunned, and then I realized why I felt a little familiar with this little girl when I first saw her in the hotel.
Only then did I remember that when I was in Tuyugou, the female villager I met under the old well who had been dead for many years was a ghost.
Because the two smells are similar, which is why I feel that the little girl is very familiar with them.
Ghosts and demons can condense entities and use ghost magic, so ordinary people cannot see them. This also explains why most ordinary guests cannot see her when she was in the hotel before.
"Why does your master let you harm innocent ordinary people here?"
I asked coldly.
"Master wants me to practice ghost arts so that I can help him compete for the position of leader!"
Under my questioning, the little girl told me everything she knew.
It turned out that she was abducted by a human trafficker more than 20 years ago and died of a sudden illness while being trafficked. The trafficker was too lazy to bury her, so he threw her into a ravine and left on his own.
Taoist priest Xuanming happened to be passing by, so he picked up the little girl's body, refined it into a ghost, and accepted her as his disciple.
Ghosts and monsters can practice ghost arts, and when they reach the highest level, they can evolve into real humans.
There are two ways to practice ghost arts. One is to use specialized cultivation methods to achieve breakthroughs step by step.
This is the most orthodox method, but the practice is relatively slow, and it has high requirements on the ghost and demon's own qualifications.
The other is to improve one's own abilities by absorbing the resentment of living people, which is a method that harms others.
The little girl has average qualifications, and although Taoist Master Xuanming has secrets on ghost arts, he is unable to transform her through orthodox methods. And he is eager to turn her into a real human being to help him, so he uses this crooked way. Come help the little girl break through!
He first captured a female ghost in red and asked the little girl to call the female ghost her mother. Then he asked the two of them to cooperate and wait for an opportunity to find a suitable target in the outside world.
Their targets are usually between relatives or lovers, and they use their own methods to turn the two parties against each other, leading to murders. The little girl takes the opportunity to absorb the released resentment in order to improve herself.
"Master, if I don't do this, master will kill me. There is nothing I can do. Please don't kill me!"
After saying this, the little girl kept kowtowing to us and begging for mercy, looking pitiful.
But I know that this little girl is not as innocent as she appears. Once you are confused by her appearance, you will regret it later!
"I don't have to kill you, but you have to do us a favor."
After thinking for a few seconds, I came up with an idea and said it to the little girl.
"What's the deal?"
"I want you to take us to meet your master!"
This Taoist Priest Xuanming is a righteous man, but he is doing evil things. I think it is necessary to investigate his background.
In addition, according to the little girl, Taoist Master Xuanming also has a secret book on practicing ghost arts.
If I can get this secret book so that Xiao Hei can improve his strength and cultivate his physical form, it will definitely be of greater help to me in the future!
The little girl's life and death are now in my hands, so naturally I dare not refuse.
"Where is your master?"
After seeing the little girl agree, I asked her.
"Every time after completing a task, the master will be waiting at a nearby Laomu temple. I will take you there right now."
To prevent the little girl from escaping, I drew a rune on her back.
"This is the soul-binding talisman. You will obediently do as I ask later, otherwise I will directly detonate the talisman. Even if you run to the end of the world, you will still be dead!"
I warned the little girl sharply.
"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely follow your instructions!"
The little girl lowered her head and said with fear on her face.
Under the leadership of the little girl, not long after, we saw a small house deep in the forest, with the three characters "Lao Mu Temple" written on the door.
After walking in, the inside was in tatters. There was a statue of an inanimate old mother enshrined in the middle. There was a chair in front of it, and the opposite side was full of sundries.
"Master will be here after ten o'clock. You can wait for him here first."
The ghost girl walked in and said to me.
I looked around, told the little girl a few words, and then hid behind the debris. Lonnie hid behind the statue of the old mother, leaving the little girl alone in the temple, waiting for Taoist Master Xuan Ming to appear.
The night is getting darker and darker, and the surroundings are extremely quiet. There is darkness in the Old Mother Temple. The majestic statue of Old Mother stands quietly on the Vajra Seat, giving people a strange feeling.
Finally, as a dark wind hit, the sound of soft footsteps came from outside.
Soon, the door of Lao Mu Temple was pushed open, and an old Taoist in purple robe slowly walked in.
This old Taoist was thin, with a sharp chin and a gray beard. As soon as he walked in, he looked around the temple, with an evil aura between his brows!
"Master, you are here!"
Seeing the old man come in, the little girl quickly knelt down and said respectfully.
"Um."
Taoist priest Xuanming nodded and sat directly on the chair.
"Where's Hong Yi?"
Taoist priest Xuan Ming asked in a deep voice when he saw that the girl in red dress was not beside the little girl.
"Mom, she, she was killed..."
The little girl answered shakily.
"What?"
Taoist Xuan Ming suddenly stood up, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
"What's going on, tell me!"
The little girl hurriedly said: "Today I originally targeted a couple, but later I found out that they were being followed by two mysterious people, so I designed a plan to get rid of them."
"Then I came to the woods and was about to trick the couple into killing each other, but then the two mysterious men suddenly appeared and ruined my plan."
"They are powerful, they are probably people from the Yin and Yang world. My mother died in their hands in order to protect me..."
After finishing speaking, the little girl knelt on the ground, shivering, and peeked at the old man from time to time.
It was obvious that she was very afraid of this old man.
After listening to the little girl's story, Old Taoist Xuan Ming's face became more and more gloomy. He only heard a swish sound, and a black whip with spikes appeared in his palm, and he walked towards the little girl.
"master……"
As soon as the little girl saw the black whip, she suddenly trembled all over, with a look of horror on her face!
"It's useless. How many times have I told you that when you see people from the Yin and Yang Realm, you should avoid them immediately. Have you turned a deaf ear to my words?"
As he spoke, the old man whipped off his whip.
