Almost all of Zhang Yan's current abilities stem from the earth's era of information explosion, as well as his luck in inheriting the heritage of Longhu Mountain Sect. Especially the Wanxiang Pearl in his hand, it is not just a treasure, but the concentration of all the essence accumulated by Longhu Mountain Sect from scratch.
These things have always been the confidence that Zhang Yan has been able to move forward unimpeded.
Zhang Yan didn't have much interest in the demon clan. As long as the other party didn't come to him, he didn't bother to pay attention. After all, this has been the state of strength and weakness that has been maintained in the Wild Sky Realm for thousands of years. When he himself was not strong enough, he had no time to worry about the safety of the human race in this world.
But if it were a demon spirit, Zhang Yan would be very interested.
Demonic spirits are recorded in Taoist classics. After all, monsters are not unique creatures in the Wild Sky Realm. There are also a lot of legends about monsters in the legendary era of the earth. It's just that there are differences between the demon clan in the earth's legend and the demon clan in the wilderness.
In the legend of the earth, the demon race actually evolved from the cultivation of "beasts". The "beasts" are divided into ordinary beasts who become "demon" by chance and successful cultivation, and there are also "spiritual beasts" who are born with different species and are born and cultivated to become "demon". The demon clan is the collective name for these two types of "beasts" that are "successful in practice". The key point lies in the four words "successful in practice".
The demon tribe in the Wild Sky Realm has nothing to do with cultivation. Like the human race, they are a group that can directly breed offspring of the same kind. They are demon tribe when they are born and do not need to practice.
Therefore, both sides are called demon clan, but in Zhang Yan's opinion, it is more appropriate to call one side "demon cultivator".
But Zhang Yan was very curious about ghosts made from souls.
Because outside of earth's legends, there are too few legends about monsters turning into ghosts before death. The most unknown thing is the pair of sinister images with a bull's head and a horse's face.
So Zhang Yan took the initiative to help Beijiang County find the location of the new Death Road. And that time I brought along two named disciples, Wang Nian and Yang Rui.
Wang Nian has already retreated towards the middle stage of Qi Entraining Realm. And Yang Rui also successfully completed the linkage of spiritual energy from the cyclone to the meridians seven days later, and successfully entered the Qi-Entraining Realm to become an entry-level monk.
After entering the door, practicing the "Yin Yang Pupil Technique" and learning two-handed talismans, I can basically take care of all the special wild ghosts. If the two of them work together, they can try to kill the evil ghost a few times. Zhang Yan would naturally let his disciples miss that kind of practical opportunity.
So on the seventh day before Shen Wujiu came to visit, Zhang Yan followed the small area provided by Shen Wujiu where several demon spirits were wreaking havoc, using the Skylark Shuttle. Liu Rui was left behind at home, pouting and wanting to go but knowing that it was appropriate for her to go. She secretly made up her mind to drive away the two senior brothers as soon as possible, so she held the Taoist book and retreated to make you the last person. The Baqing, who was just quiet, began to use his energy outside the quiet room.
After getting off the Skylark Shuttle and following the footsteps of the demonic spirits, the eight masters and disciples came to a dead mountain village that exuded the stench of corpses.
"Gujiacun, there is something wrong with that." Zhang Yan glanced at an engraved wooden sign hanging at the entrance of the village, and then led the two children away.
The small town outside the village is far away, and the nearest town requires a full day's walk on the mountain road. It can be described as closed. However, because there are few mountain resources there, game and delicacies are cut off seven seasons a year, there are few hunters, the folk customs are strong, unusual beasts are fearful, and large groups of bandits are weak, so there are many residents outside the village, a total of eighty More than a hundred people came to the house.
But outside the village it was dead silent. The house seems to be intact, but there is no sound of human beings at all. And outside the open courtyard doors of each house, you can see some small earthbags.
"Are they afraid?"
"You are afraid." Wang Nian shook his head. I am still not afraid of dead people in the future, but I have been so afraid since the next time I was caught by Liang Guang and passed a ghost. But I have never heard of these ghost stories again. He kept saying "interesting".
And Yang Rui was a little trembling. At that age, I stayed outside the palace. Not to mention dead people and ghosts, I even encountered fights all the time. After listening to so few ghost stories in class, I am quite afraid of ghosts. Now that I am in the village before it was ravaged by ghosts, I see the big dirt bags outside each yard and smell the faint smell floating in the air. I am confused about what these represent, which only makes me feel more scared.
"Don't be afraid, little brother, protect him. You know how to use the Spirit Fire Talisman! Look, he doesn't have a peach wood sword yet!"
Wang Nian was very proud. I gestured twice with an old mahogany sword that Zhang Yan prepared for me, but Zhang Yan slapped me on the head before putting it away.
"This place was ravaged by demon spirits, and everyone died. Those graves were dragged out of the house by the people from the Special Cases Division and buried on the spot. But they should have been dead for a long time before they were buried. So the smell is very strong. Although it smells good, you have to get used to it. At the same time, try to see if you can find some clues from there.
Wang Nian, you should try it first. "
"is teacher!"
Wang Nian was unprepared, and it was quite difficult for me to learn the basics of what I learned. But when it came to practical application methods, I was the slowest among the eight named disciples to grasp it. For example, at this moment, he was holding a wooden sword, chanting spells and spells without any form, and throwing out the evil-chasing talisman. His movements were smooth and smooth, but there was no hint of jerkiness. But Zhang Yan knew that the talisman used by Wang Nian was drawn by me myself and was obtained from Yang Rui.
When it comes to drawing talismans, Wang Nian is just a lump in the elm wood, but he can be saved.
There was no reaction before Wang Nian's evil-chasing talisman was thrown out, and it fell to the ground before being burnt to ashes.
"Is there an evil spirit?" Wang Niange only confirmed the reason for the annihilation of the evil-chasing talisman, and first confirmed that there was something wrong with the talisman.
"Yes. Before ghosts do evil, they will form a path for them to come and go. Whether it is sneaking on the ground or wandering underground at night, you only need to make sure it is a wild ghost or a scurrying evil ghost. The best way is to wait and see. A labor-saving method.”
Yang Rui waited for Liang Guang to ask, then directly gave his thoughts and suggested spending the night outside the village. I think it would be better to stay there instead of running around.
Wang Nian also agreed with Yang Rui's statement, nodded, and turned to look at Zhang Yan next to him.
"Okay. The seven of them are looking for a place outside the village that is convenient for observation and hiding. You can walk around the village and see if you can find anything." Zhang Yan explained with a smile, and then waited for the two The child said little, ducked into the air in a flash, and used the flying technique to fly in the blink of an eye.
The remaining two elders looked at each other, then each looked at the seven new graves, and couldn't help but shudder.
"Brother Shitou, what if you want to put on the Qi Condensation Talisman first and then the Exorcism Talisman?" Yang Rui took a few steps closer to Wang Nian. When he saw Zhang Yan, I became even more scared.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not here without you! You are a master of ghosts! This thing will lead to death outside the eyes of the people in our Taoist sect, don't worry. Well, if he wants to worry, let's put up two less evil charms... "
