"The sixth day of the third month of the first year of Tianxing.
"When I woke up today, I found that the villages at the foot of Laoshan Mountain were in deathly silence. These villagers had turned into corpses and lost their breathing and heartbeats.
“And at the same time, I feel so empowered.
"Using the art of cause and effect, I soon learned that these villagers were killed by me when I was unconscious. Some of their souls were extracted by me and became my food.
"Perhaps this is part of the price to pay for practicing the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique"!
"I have to say that "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" is a very mysterious spell - even with my level of cultivation, it is difficult to fully understand what it is.
"In order to have a deeper understanding of "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique", I decided to conduct an experiment using dead villagers in the village at the foot of Laoshan Mountain.
“According to my previous understanding, this spell can be used on living people, and it can also be used on people who have been dead for no more than seven days.
“These villagers should meet the requirements.
"...
“The seventh day of the third month of the first year of Tianxing.
"The experiment was successful.
"When I used the 'Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique' on the corpses of these villagers, they stood up from the ground again.
"Compared to before, their appearance has not changed much, but they have inexplicably grown tiger-like claws; and their fighting capabilities are far stronger than ordinary humans, comparable to 'wild ghost' level ghosts.
"I named these newly born ghosts 'tapir?'.
"From today on, these 'tapir?' will become the guardians of Mount Laoshan and the first test to reach the top of Mount Laoshan. Any descendant who wants to climb Mount Laoshan to gain my inheritance must first have the ability to defeat the 'tapir?' ?'Strength.
"..."
“The tenth day of the sixth month of the fifth year of Tianxing’s reign.
“In the few years since I started practicing “Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique”, hunger has become the most painful thing for me.
"I must absorb human souls in order to maintain the stability of my own soul. Otherwise, I will become mentally disordered, lose my rationality, and become a monster completely controlled by instinct - which undoubtedly means that I will no longer be me. .
“However, if I continue to kill people, sooner or later I will attract the attention of Emperor Tianxing and Luo Sishou.
“I have to think of a solution.
"...

Could it be that Yishan, like the Laoshan ruins, also has restrictions that can block the secrets of heaven?
Just when Gu Xu was puzzled, he had already crossed the void and arrived at his destination.
Then he froze.
Because the scene that appeared in front of him was not the expected Laizhou Mansion Yamen, but a huge black altar.
It is located in the middle of the valley of Yishan Mountain, surrounded by gray fog and strong gloom.
Even if the outside world is shaking, it is extremely stable.
There are complicated patterns on the altar, and there is a faint light shining on it. Unsurprisingly, it should be a formation.
In front of the altar, there were nine men in black robes with their backs to him, silently reciting incantations.
"Black Altar..."
At this time, Gu Xu remembered that when he was in Laizhou Mansion, the dead "Qingluan" Du Jingjing once told him a piece of information——
"A mysterious black altar has appeared within Yishan. It is likely to be the source of the recent evil spirit."
But for some reason, he had never thought about this altar in detail, nor looked up the relevant information.
This is completely inconsistent with his style of doing things!
What on earth is going on?
"Gu Xu, why are you here?" A familiar voice sounded beside him, "I just crushed the 'Breaking Sky Bead', and I planned to go back to Yishui County, but I didn't know why I ended up here... …”
Hearing this voice, Gu Xu immediately turned his head and saw Shi Xiaohan's petite figure at a glance.
Her face was pale and her eyes were full of fear. It was obvious that she had never experienced such a terrible thing.
"I'm not sure either..." A bitter smile appeared on Gu Xu's face, "I also came to this place after crushing the 'Breaking Sky Bead'..."
At this time, Gu Xu also saw two familiar figures next to the altar——
One is the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan, and the other is his personal follower Fan Cheng.
The two men were just like them, looking confused and at a loss.
So Gu Xu came to the conclusion: Someone interfered with the space, causing those who escaped with the "sky-breaking beads" to come to this strange place.
"What on earth is going on?"
Just as Gu Xu was puzzled, the nine people in front of the altar suddenly turned around in unison.
Six of the faces were unfamiliar.
The remaining three people were whom Gu Xu had met.
The man standing on the far left is a middle-aged man with an average appearance and a gloomy temperament.
He was wearing old coarse cloth clothes, with a bag on his back and a small wooden frame on his shoulder. On the small wooden frame, there were several mice jumping up and down——
It was the artist who once performed the "Rat Show" on Xunliu Street in Yishui County!
At first, even with Gu Xu's spiritual perception far beyond ordinary people, he couldn't understand how this middle-aged man controlled these mice.
But now he understands.
This middle-aged man's method of controlling mice is actually the "Thread of Cause and Effect"!
The person standing on the far right is more familiar to Gu Xu——
It turned out to be the hunchbacked old man guarding the warehouse of the Exorcist Department of Yishui County!
When Gu Xu's eyes fell on the old man, the old man showed him a kind smile.
Gu Xu remembered that before the Chinese New Year, the old man once asked Chen Jisheng to go to his hometown in Qingzhou Prefecture to visit the graves of his relatives.
But in fact, before that day, Gu Xu had never known where the old man's hometown was, and he had never heard the old man mention anything about his relatives.
"By the way, what's the old man's name?"
Gu Xu was shocked and realized a serious problem: he had been in the Exorcism Department for more than a year, and he still didn't know the old man's real name!
And standing in the center is also a face that Gu Xu has seen before——
It was an old Taoist with a white beard, wearing a dark blue Taoist robe and holding a fly whisk in his hand.
At this moment, the corners of the mouths of these nine people were slightly raised in the same arc, showing exactly the same smiles, and they said to Gu Xu in unison:
"You are finally here, my successor."
