The earth-shaking change was so great that the people who had been suppressed into the ghost gate suddenly hugged each other and fled to other places, screaming in despair.

"Let me go! I won't go in! I was killed, I was wronged, I don't want to go to hell!"

"No, I won't go in. I want to stay in the world of the living. I'm still alive and I don't want to die!"

"Please don't arrest me! I have things to do in the mortal world. I'm only seventeen years old and just passed the imperial examination. I have a bright future ahead of me!"

"No! I haven't found my daughter yet. I can't leave this world like this. Please let me go!"

The crew members were frightened by the sudden sight of evil spirits running around, and they all subconsciously hid behind Xia Yiqian, as if only she could give them a sense of security.

With so many dead Taoists here, it is naturally impossible for these ordinary ghosts to escape, so they all go to intercept the ghosts who want to escape.

Xia Yiqian watched everything in front of her coldly without making any response.

But just at this moment, an old woman took advantage of the gap to escape from the encirclement, "Plop!" She said with a miserable face: "Please, let me go!

I am so angry. We didn't do anything back then, but we were killed for no reason. I can't accept this!

Please don't send me to hell!"

Xia Yiqian lowered her eyes and looked at the old lady. She recognized her immediately. She was the grandmother of the mummy in the statue. She was also the leader who came to the mountain to make trouble and was determined to kill her.

Her dark pupils stared at the ghost old lady's face, and she tilted her head slightly. There was a deep confusion in her eyes, and her tone of questioning was extremely serious.

"When you wanted to kill that innocent zombie, why didn't you consider that she was also innocent? You didn't even give her a chance to explain herself?"

The old lady was stunned for a moment after hearing this. After looking carefully at Xia Yiqian's appearance, her face suddenly turned pale.

His face distorted as he screamed, "It's you!"

Seeing that the other party had no intention of giving her an answer, Xia Yiqian said calmly: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Perhaps this is retribution."

After she finished speaking, she threw the second talisman paper into the sky without saying anything else.

She had no intention of using this talisman paper, and she drew it just for emergencies, but she didn't expect it to actually come in handy.

The talisman paper combusted without wind, and suddenly footsteps were heard from the ghost gate.

Li Songtian heard the footsteps and quickly hid behind Huang Yangyang, grinning and wishing he could bury himself right there.

Everyone present was too nervous, and except for Huang Yangyang who was pulled, no one noticed that something was wrong with him.

In the blink of an eye, a small group of ghost messengers dressed in ancient yamen runners' costumes and holding iron chains rushed out from the ghost gate.

These ghost officials all have faces as white as cement, with thick dark circles under their eyes and exposed fangs like those of wild beasts. Even if you don't feel the cold aura from them, you can tell that they are not easy to mess with just by looking at their appearance.

After the ghost officials came out, they saw a group of Taoist ghosts. They were a little puzzled. These Taoists had already become ghosts, so how could they still summon these ghost officials?

They haven't been able to come to this world for a long time. Could they have been summoned by ghosts? Which ghost would be so brave as to summon a ghost messenger?

But when he carefully felt the spiritual power on the talisman paper, he suddenly felt that something was not right.

Following the spiritual power, I saw a monster with a thick evil aura all over its body, so thick that its true appearance could hardly be seen, standing among a group of people. I was so scared that I almost turned around and went back.

The leading ghost was the bravest. He clasped his hands together and said to Xia Yiqian, "I wonder what the master wants us to do?"

Xia Yiqian raised her chin towards the old lady and said, "There are many lives lost among these people. Take them away and settle the accounts carefully."

After hearing what Xia Yiqian said, the ghosts that had harmed people in the past suddenly cried and howled, and they didn't want to enter the ghost gate anymore.

But because there were ghost officials around, they didn't dare to act any more. After being whipped hard by two of the ghost officials, they all quieted down.

The leading ghost official bowed again to the next thousand, "Why trouble you, sir? This is our responsibility.

We will bring them all before the judge and they will be judged for all their sins in life."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand to the other ghost officials, and they immediately caught the ghost and dragged it into the ghost gate.

The leading ghost came to Xia Yiqian personally, put iron chains on the frightened old lady, and prepared to take her back to the underworld.

"Master Ghost!"

Just as the ghost was about to leave, Taoist Xuanyi suddenly called out to him.

The ghost turned to look at him, his eyes full of gloomy indifference and bone-chilling coldness, completely different from how he treated Xia Yiqian.

Taoist Xuanyi suppressed his chattering teeth and said with fear, "The Ghost Gate has not been opened for three thousand years, and ghosts are rampant in the human world. I hope that the ghost messenger will leave me a seal that can open the Ghost Gate and allow the dead souls to return to their hometown."

The Buddhists have their own way of transcending the dead, and the Taoists have their own way of transcending the dead. However, when they arrive at home, it is not called transcendence, but directly sending the ghosts to the ghost gate.

However, Buddhism can still perform salvation, but Taoism has not been able to open the ghost gate for more than three thousand years.

If this continues, Taoism will inevitably decline further.
