Chapter 579: Protecting Folk Customs Is Protecting Yourself

At this time, the Lakeside Building was completely dark except for the emergency lights in the corridor. Dai Qing turned around and looked at the two of them, raising her eyebrows.

"You guys want to follow?"

"No way?" The Taoist was stunned. He wanted to go up and take a look.

Dai Qing couldn't help twitching her lips when she noticed the hidden excitement in the Taoist's eyes. Although this old man was quite old, he was quite interested in watching the excitement.

"Not really. I'm just afraid that if something goes wrong, it'll scare you guys."

"Don't worry about that. I am a fellow traveler. Although I can't help you much, I will definitely not cause any trouble."

The Taoist really shook off the Buddhist dust and turned to look at Director Meng.

"Brother Meng, what about you? Do you want to stay or go up with us to take a look?"

Director Meng hesitated for a moment, still thinking about the shock of last night, and shook his head.

"You two just go up, I'll be waiting for you downstairs."

Although he was old, he couldn't control his tears after being frightened. If others saw him, it would be a bit embarrassing.

As they were talking, a cold wind blew up and Director Meng quickly wrapped his coat tightly.

"You two should be more careful. If you really can't do it, don't force it."

He knew what the real ability was, and it would not be surprising if Dai Xiaoyou couldn't do something that even he couldn't do.

After an afternoon of ideological struggle, he had come to realize that some things could not be forced.

As soon as Dai Qing opened the door, she could feel a wave of negative energy rushing towards her. She subconsciously mobilized the true energy in her body to eliminate all external disturbances.

The two of them walked up the stairs one step at a time. There really was a Taoist following them, muttering something.

The higher you go, the heavier the yin energy becomes.

Standing at the staircase on the sixth floor, Dai Qing stopped, turned on the flashlight, and looked over there intently.

In the lobby on the sixth floor, there were only a few simple desks and some scattered documents. A black mist filled the air, adding a weird atmosphere to the floor.

Dai Qing looked at the spreading black air and finally fixed her sight on the seventh floor. Just as she was about to step forward, she was stopped by the Taoist priest.

"The sixth floor has the heaviest negative energy. The source of the resentment must be here."

"Not necessarily. I'll go upstairs and take a look."

Dai Qing looked back at him, pointed at the stairs, and walked straight up. Zhen Youdao looked back at the empty office area and followed behind.

Dai Qing followed the drifting black air all the way to Room 704 and stopped at the door. The black air spread out from the crack in the door and was even thicker than on the sixth floor.

A Taoist priest really looked at Dai Qing's actions and looked at her in surprise. You mean this is the root of the problem?

Dai Qing nodded.

"There is a vengeful spirit inside. We need to ask it face to face what happened."

"It has a lot of resentment, and my magic power cannot suppress it. You must be mentally prepared."

There really was a Taoist who shook off the Buddha's dust, mobilized the only magic power in his body, and was ready to fight at any time.

Dai Qing mobilized her true energy to her right palm, greeted Taoist Zhen You, and then slapped the door with her palm. With a bang, the door was blown open.

The moment the door opened, a black gas rushed towards him like a sharp blade, as if it could blow people down the stairs at any time.

Looking at the fierce black energy, Dai Qing gathered strength in her left hand and punched it. With a bang, the black energy dissipated in front of her, accompanied by a scream.

Dai Qing was stunned. Did she hit the target?

There really was a Taoist standing next to her, and before she could use the magic power she had accumulated, her resentment was dispersed. While feeling relieved, the old Taoist looked at Dai Qing with sparkling eyes.

In this era of scarce spiritual energy, he worked hard all his life and only managed to gather a little bit of magical power.

But the punch this girl just threw seemed to be full of magical power. As expected, one person is no match for another.

This girl is the chosen one among millions.

Dai Qing stood in the corridor, waiting for the black air in front of her eyes to dissipate, then turned on the flashlight, looked around, and confirmed that it was a guest room.

I heard that after the Folk Culture Forum opens, accommodation will be arranged for participants.

Thinking of this, Dai Qing turned and looked at Zhen Youdao.

"What is this floor usually used for?"

Hearing Dai Qing's question, the Taoist was stunned.

"The members of the cultural center come from all over the country. The journey is long, so naturally they need to arrange for food and lodging. They use the seventh floor... Are you saying that this resentment is from people of the same kind?"

"That's not the case, but it has something to do with people of the same trade."

Dai Qing entered the room and turned on the light, but the power supply flickered as if it had poor contact. It must have been interfered by the magnetic field.

Dai Qing looked around and finally saw a phantom at the corner of the bed. She looked like a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. She was squatting there, shivering, holding her legs with her hands, and her eyes were bloodshot.

Although he looked frightened, there was resentment in his eyes, and black air was emanating from his entire body.

Dai Qing walked over and stood three steps away from it. "Who are you and why are you here?"

The little girl slowly raised her head and looked at Dai Qing with fear in her eyes, "Can you see me?"

"Of course. Tell me, what's your name? Where are you from? Maybe I can help you." Dai Qing looked at her with a gentle tone.

The little girl stared at her, tears streaming down her face. "I want to leave here, I want to go home, but I can't leave."

"Is this the vengeful spirit?"

There was a Taoist priest standing nearby, looking at the scene in front of him with a look of shock. The ghost he had been fighting with all his magical powers all night turned out to be this little girl?

Seeing that the little girl was about to get angry again and the black energy on her body was becoming more and more dense, Dai Qing mobilized the true energy in her body and lightly swept it, directly suppressing the black energy on her body.

"Calm down and think carefully about how you got here. Otherwise, how can we help you?"

The little girl calmed herself down, looked at Dai Qing for a moment, and slowly stood up. Dai Qing then noticed that her feet were off the ground.

The little girl floated in front of her, then thought of the attack just now, and quickly retreated to the corner, looking at her cautiously.

"What is your name?"

"Zhou Hongmei."

"Who did you come here with?"

Hearing this, the little girl suddenly got angry, her eyes full of hatred, and she rushed towards Dai Qing. The Taoist priest was so frightened that he hurriedly warned her and threw away the Buddha dust in his hand.

Unfortunately, he was still a step slower than Dai Qing, and the girl was slapped away by her and hit directly against the wall.

"Looking for death~"

Dai Qing looked at her with a cold face, and without asking any more questions, she just focused on the past, tracing back to the past.

After a moment, a scene appeared in front of her eyes. A young man appeared next to Zhou Hongmei. He looked good, but he had a playboy look, especially his peach blossom eyes, which exuded an evil aura.

You can tell at first glance that he is not a serious person.

Then the scene changed, and the man was wearing a Taoist robe, the Yushan School's Taoist robe. Then the two of them were arguing, and the man swung his hand, causing Zhou Hongmei to hit the corner of the table, leaving a bloodstain on the floor.
