After visiting three villages in a row, all the wandering ghosts had mysteriously disappeared, leaving only the remaining evil spirits to prove their existence.
Without exception, these places have auras similar to the Soul Refining Banner left behind.
These wandering ghosts may have been captured and used as sacrifices.
"Something went wrong, Zhou Qing."
Even the stupid clouds have realized that something is wrong.
"I'm afraid most of the wandering ghosts near Black Cloud Town have been captured."
"So what should we do?"
Zhou Qing thought about it and uttered two words.
"report."
If you are undecided, it is recommended to report it.
Yun Duo was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, that's right."
"My father always tells me that if something happens, I should not act on my own but go back and tell him first."
"Zhou Qing, you are just like my father."
“…”
Girl, please be careful with your words. I am only twenty-two years old.
The two reached a high degree of consensus and headed straight for the peach forest to tell Lu Qingmo what they had discovered.
This is the strongest support of Heiyun Town in terms of Taoism, at least on the surface.
Lu Qingmo was a little cold in front of him, "You are so brave, reaching out to Black Cloud Town again and again."
"Aunt Mo, what should we do?"
Lu Qingmo glanced at Zhou Qing and said, "If you are willing, then we should continue to clean up the wandering ghosts and try not to let any fish slip through the net."
"As for the person who secretly captured the ghost... I will send someone to deal with it."
Zhou Qing and Yun Duo looked at each other and understood what Lu Qingmo meant.
Uh, Yun Duo should have understood it too, right?
Zhou Qing suddenly felt a little uncertain.
"Since we've already done it, let's just finish it. It's not good to give up halfway."
"Take these two pieces of talisman paper with you."
After Zhou Qing agreed, Lu Qingmo took out two yellow talismans like a magic trick and handed them to the two of them.
Yes, this is where the purpose of reporting comes in. If you don’t come back to report and continue walking outside the town, how can you get such a talisman?
Zhou Qing was very willing to clean up the wandering ghosts, after all, he could benefit from it.
Looking at the two people's backs, after they walked out of the peach forest, Lu Qingmo returned to the attic. After a moment, he saw a black shadow flying out of the attic and disappearing.
After leaving Heiyun Town, Zhou Qing and his companions' main target was the wilderness and some roads where people would pass by.
There are still ghosts in the wilderness.
Occasionally, when passing by their village, they would go in, but as expected, all the wandering ghosts would disappear.
After cleaning for a while, a ruined temple appeared in front of Zhou Qing and the others.
"There is a Buddhist temple here?" Zhou Qing was a little surprised.
"It has been abandoned for a long time." Yun Duo said, "My father said that a long time ago, there were Taoist temples and Buddhist temples in Heiyun Town, but the Taoists and monks all moved away from Heiyun Town, and these places became deserted."
Zhou Qing seemed to be thinking about something. Taoist temples and Buddhist temples, those were probably things that happened before the mountain god and the dragon king appeared.
"Let's go in and take a look. Since it's an ancient temple in the wilderness, there might be ghosts born there."
As he got closer, Zhou Qing discovered that the Buddhist temple was in a state of great disrepair, with cobwebs everywhere, the plaque crumbling, and none of the words on it clearly visible.
Zhou Qingnian asked: "Da Lei... Temple?"
The third word is blurred and I can't tell what it is.
But these three words that he could see clearly shocked Zhou Qing.
What temple is Da Lei?
Could it be the Great Thunder Sound?
Hiss, Zhou Qing suddenly felt that this crooked plaque, which seemed to be about to fall, was full of Zen and emanated Buddha's light.
"Da Leiyu Temple!" Yun Duo spoke nearby.
???
"Thunder what? Thunderstorm?"
"Yes, I came here before when I went to the county town with my father. He told me that this temple is called the Great Thunderstorm Temple."
It was called a big thunderstorm, and Zhou Qing was speechless.
You must be crazy to give it such a name.
What a shabby plaque! It’s pitch black, like a piece of rotten wood, without any Zen spirit at all.
Zhou Qing went straight into the Great Thunder Rain Temple, and Yun Duo hurriedly followed, but they stopped just as they arrived at the entrance of the treasure hall.
Zhou Qing saw four people in the hall, one was a man in black clothes with white hair, and the other was a skinny old man.
The other two muscular men with black hair and gray robes stood on the left and right. The four of them were staring at Zhou Qing and the others.
There is something wrong with these four people! Just now outside the temple, including walking from the temple gate to the entrance of the treasure hall, Zhou Qing's mental power did not detect the presence of four people here.
"call!"
The wind was blowing hard, the ghostly aura was rising, a den of ghosts was created, the scorching sun was blocked, and the air was filled with chill.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
When Zhou Qing and Yun Duo arrived at the entrance of the palace, a black chess flag had already appeared behind the white-haired man, and the ghost den instantly covered an area of space.
Soul Refining Banner! Zhou Qing let out a sigh of relief. As expected, he encountered...
"Taibai disciple? Cultivator? Which family in Heiyun Town is he from?"
The white-haired man spoke indifferently, and then shook his head, "It doesn't matter. You are just unlucky to have met me. Become my nourishment."
He actually knew something about the situation in Black Cloud Town!
A soul emerged from the top of the white-haired man's head, holding a soul-refining flag. As it waved, dozens of ghosts appeared, howling continuously and with murderous aura rising.
In the ghost domain created by the Soul Refining Banner, the strength of these ghosts has been increased to a certain extent.
They rushed straight towards Zhou Qing and the other man, intending to devour their flesh and blood.
However, a mere ghost slave could not defeat Zhou Qing and Yun Duo.
Then I saw that the skinny old man's soul had left his body, but the magic weapon he used was a blood-red round wheel.
A light of blood appeared, coating many ghost slaves with a layer of blood.
The edges of the souls of these two monks have a faint white color.
"The first stage of the Divine Wandering Realm, the Night Wandering Stage." Yun Duo's expression also changed, "Both."
The soul can leave the body during the day if it has not reached the daytime wandering stage, but it must not face direct sunlight.
And now in this environment, there is obviously no sunlight.
"Zhou Qing, you please protect my body." After Yun Duo said this, she was ready to let her soul leave her body and fight with the white-haired man.
She is also in the nocturnal period. Although she is confused on weekdays, she is really serious when there is something going on.
Looking at the opposite side, when the white-haired man's soul left his body, the other two big men also took a protective stance.
This is a self-defense warrior.
But Zhou Qing stopped Yun Duo and said, "You don't have to do anything. Leave it to me."
I'm fighting one against two, and the two opponents are evil people. Who knows what strange tricks they have.
Yun Duo has only been practicing for two and a half years, and she probably doesn't have much experience in fighting. Zhou Qing is not very confident about letting her go alone.
Yun Duo was stunned and looked at Zhou Qing, wondering if she had heard it wrong.
There are two Night Wandering Monks opposite you. Do you want to deal with them by yourself?
#Zhou Qing's Status# They have warriors protecting them, you can't touch their bodies, are you awake now? Warriors restrained monks in the early stage, but in this situation, this restraint is obviously not valid.
As soon as Zhou Qing said this, the skinny old man laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, kid, you're not afraid of your tongue being blown away by the strong wind."
Zhou Qing blasted away the ghost in front of him, glanced at the skinny old man indifferently, and uttered two words.
"Noisy."
"You old pig-dog, half buried in the earth, I will send you to the west today."
"Evil cultivator, huh?"
Zhou Qing curled the corners of his mouth and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Hehehe, you guys deserve to be credited to me today."
“…”
Yun Duo subconsciously took two steps away from Zhou Qingyuan.
It's so weird, but also so fitting. Why does he look more like an evil cultivator when he laughs?
Are the four of us a decent group?
