Chapter 20: Getting Something for Nothing



After Sangque finished feeding the donkey and left, Yan Daozi withdrew his gaze, took the letter to the candle and burned it.

He sat down, tapping the table unconsciously. If this girl wasn't so cunning and good at disguising herself, she might not be the temple keeper's daughter that group of people were looking for.

But even if there is only a tiny possibility, he must take it into consideration. It is really hard to give up such a good seedling.

etc……

Yan Daozi paused his tapping fingers, and his mind suddenly came to his senses.

What he was worried about before was that if this girl was the daughter of the temple keeper that group of people were looking for, and when she was handed over, all his hard work in training would be in vain.

But if there really is a master-disciple relationship, can he be honored by his disciple? The group of people specifically told him to be alive and not seriously injured. This is not the way to treat an enemy.

Sangque pulled the little guy to a corner, squatted down and looked into his eyes carefully.

The correct content is in %六九% book'bar!

"He Shouan."

If it were a zombie, that would indeed help hold out for a while.

He also felt that if he could not offer sacrifices to the Yin Tong, he would not be able to drive the Yin Tong to help him kill evil spirits, gain strength, and open the door to go home.

Recalling the basic common sense that Yan Daozi had mentioned before, Sang Que summarized his current situation.

She took a quick look at the book Yan Daozi gave her in the afternoon. Glutinous rice is mainly used to deal with zombies and has little effect on intangible evil spirits.

After carefully wiping off the words on the ground, Sang Que got up and went to find Kou Yushan, telling him what Yan Daozi had asked her to do.

*Sang Que left Yan Daozi's courtyard, found an empty place, squatted on the ground leaning against the earth wall, and it took him a long time to let his numb body recover.

Actually, it is not.

She initially focused on the content of these rules, but ignored the fact that these rules all stated one thing, that is, evil spirits can communicate with ghosts.

Seeing that there was no one around, Sang Que picked up a stone, recalled the mind map her mother taught her, wrote and drew on the ground, and simply listed the intelligence and information she had obtained in the past two days.

Mingzhang had not even understood the book, but he wrote in his notes with a confident tone, misleading Sangque and making him think that sprinkling glutinous rice mixed with salt at home would be able to ward off evil spirits and ensure safety.

He Shouan ran to Sangque with a new broom in his arms.

Kou Yushan wanted Sang Que to live with him first, but Sang Que refused his kindness.

Random attacks can cause great destructive power, but they will definitely cause self-injury or even death. It is still necessary to learn how to use moves in conjunction with magical weapons to better exert the role of these "internal forces".

"well!"

Kou Yushan had never seen the female corpse hanging in the Liu family yard and the blood-stained book before.

She didn't have the time to investigate the source of these strange things. Finding out the source wouldn't help her go home and might even cost her her life.

If she promised to help Yin Tong get the thing in Yan Daozi's hand, and let Yin Tong lend her power unconditionally to eliminate the evil spirits, or even deal with Yan Daozi, would Yin Tong agree? In addition to giving her a sense of desire, the room also made her feel dangerous, which meant that Yin Tong was able to realize that there were arrangements in the room to deal with evil spirits. But since she was a living person, those arrangements might not have much effect on her.

Thinking of this, Sang Que immediately remembered that both times she went to see Yan Daozi, she felt a desire for the locked room on the left. It was not her who was longing, but Yin Tong.

He Baosheng gave Sang Que a simple smile, picked up the big broom in the corner and started sweeping the yard.

After a moment, Sangque's eyes lit up.

Sang Que opened the palm of her right hand, and the mark of the talisman money was only a vague circular outline, not enough to send her back.

Sang Que spoke in a stern tone, and He Shouan was frightened and stared in horror, but then he showed a curious expression.

In the afternoon, after Kou Yushan finished his work, he brought two black dogs to patrol the Liu family yard. The black dogs kept barking at the old locust tree in the yard.

This girl is the daughter of the temple priest who appeared that night, so the only conflict between him and her is Mingzhang's death.

"Sister Yu Niang, this is the broom my grandfather made himself, tied with a red string. I'll put it upside down behind the door for you, so no evil spirits will dare to come."

It seems that accepting her as a disciple would cost nothing, and he would not lose out in any way! After figuring it out, Yan Daozi's brows relaxed and he was in a very good mood. He took out the key from his sleeve, opened the door on the left, and went in to continue his business.

As for the conflict between him and her, there are two situations.

She was stuck in a dead end from the beginning, believing that the rules could not be broken. She had to either strengthen her heart lamp or kill someone as a sacrifice.

If this girl was not the daughter of the temple keeper, and was really Yao Yu Niang, the only obstacle between him and her would be Kou Yushan.

In desperation, Sang Que had to stroll around the village. Most of the villagers were indifferent and defensive, and were not very willing to communicate with her.

It was mentioned in Mingzhang Notes that Yan Daozi received a letter from an old friend who had died suddenly, and it was Yin Tong who did it.

"The witch asked me to tell you that you must listen to your parents in the future. You cannot leave the village even during the day. You cannot go to any dangerous place. Even if someone persuades you to go, you cannot go. Otherwise, the witch will find out and turn you into a puppy."

Sang Que pinched He Shouan's face and pulled it, "Thanks to the witch, sister will be back to normal soon. Don't tell others, or sister will beat your butt to pieces."

She figured out a way to bypass these tasks, get the rewards, and then go home!

Not long after Kou Yushan left, he came back and gave Sang Que a small bag of glutinous rice, about the amount of a handful, which seemed to be Kou Yushan's last stock.

This is also why Yin Tong appeared in Heishan Village.

After saying that, He Shouan ran into the house.

In the east room of the Liu family, Sang Que lit the oil lamp and placed the corpse mud jar and the soul lamp on the table.

Her focus should first jump out of her inherent thinking and fall on the Yin child itself.

In addition, the Yin objects mentioned in Ming Zhang's notes came from evil spirits, so Sang Que had reason to suspect that Yan Daozi's ability to dismember corpses was related to Yin Tong.

Humph~ Yan Daozi sneered. Kou Yushan won't live long. When that time comes, the only person this girl can rely on will be him.

It was almost noon when Sang Que finished his pretend investigation and went to Liu's house to clean up his residence.

Yin Tong's body is also missing these parts.

As Sang Que entered the Liu family yard, there was a noise outside. Qin Fangru and He Shouhui came over carrying bedding and some clothes.

She also has two talismans to exorcise evil spirits. If something really happens, she will take the evil spirits and run to Yan Daozi, and she will be there in two minutes.

His current level in the Nine Netherworlds is deeper than Yan Daozi's, and he has also controlled the Yin Tong, which is equivalent to the young child in martial arts novels who suddenly possesses powerful internal strength and magical weapons.

As long as he let her know that he didn't mind Ming Zhang's death at all, would not seek revenge, and even thought his death was a good thing, there would be no more conflicts between them.

Even if she was not the daughter of a temple keeper, he could still have a good disciple who would fight for him and serve him.

What Yan Daozi meant by going to the underworld was just like last night, where he smeared corpse mud on his forehead, lit the soul lamp, and went outside to find a place with many wandering souls to blend in with them.

"Yuniang, you can live in the east room. This room is big and spacious. Second Niang, come and help. Collect these old beddings first. His father, help Yuniang sweep the yard and see if anything is broken and fix it."

The clues were very fragmentary, and if they hadn't been listed out in full, she really wouldn't have been able to think of this aspect.

He Shouhui walked in and said, "Uncle Kou told us that you would live in the Liu family's yard, and we are here to help you settle down. These are new beddings that I have never used, and these two pieces of clothing are also clothes that my mother and I have rarely worn. Don't mind."

The possibility of giving Yan Daozi's things to Yin Tong in exchange for Yin Tong's power to deal with Yan Daozi made Sang Que inexplicably excited.

There, there is what Yin Tong wants.

A gecko quickly crawled across the wall. Sangque glanced at it and went to help clean up the house.

Yin Tong is completing the missing parts of her body.

But she is too passive now. She has to wait for Yan Daozi's charity and arrangements for everything. She should find a way to go home as soon as possible instead of jumping into the fire pit arranged by Yan Daozi.

Without waiting for Sang Que to say anything, Qin Fangru walked into the room carrying bedding.

First of all, why did Yin Tong appear in Heishan Village? Kou Yushan also said that Yan Daozi knew Yin Tong’s origin and was afraid of him.

Yan Daozi and his old friend are most likely the ones who created Yin Tong, or they have the missing parts of Yin Tong. This is why Yin Tong killed Yan Daozi's old friend and why Yan Daozi was afraid.

"Yu Niang."

It is daytime now and she cannot communicate with Yin Tong. She has to wait until night when she enters the Nine Nether Hell with the help of the soul lamp before she can discuss with Yin Tong.

Kou Yushan told Sang Que everything he knew about the Li family's underground ghost and the skinny monkey's nursery rhyme, but there was no useful information.

She did not see the scene where Yin Tong killed the Liu couple and Ming Zhang, but she saw Yin Tong connect Ming Zhang's right arm under his right shoulder.

The piece of paper just now frightened her so much that she almost took the initiative and grabbed the man's throat.

As night fell, the second day of Sangque's journey to Heishan Village was coming to an end.

Black dog blood has a wide range of uses. It is a waste to pour it directly on the tree without seeing the evil spirit itself, and it will not kill the evil spirit.

"I always feel like I missed some important clues, which prevented me from taking the initiative."

She really didn't want to deal with Yan Daozi anymore. Who knew what tricks he would suddenly use to test her next time.

He Shouan covered his mouth and nodded hurriedly, looking at Sang Que with shining eyes, remembering what his grandmother had said, that those who sincerely served Empress Wu could receive special care from her. Sister Yu Niang was so amazing!

"Sister Yu Niang, why don't you stutter anymore? Your voice is so nice."

He wanted to find the old village chief and pretend to be literate, but the old village chief was not there. He went to the Tangyuan County Government Office and continued to submit letters for help to the Evil Suppression Office. Kou Yushan still didn't believe that Yan Daozi would really help Heishan Village.

Yan Daozi said that to control evil spirits, one should treat them with courtesy, give them a thank you gift first, and then discuss how to thank them when they attack. After that, offer double the gift, and the evil spirit may not be satisfied, and then take it from the walking ghost.

With the help of the He family, the whole yard soon took on a new look, with less gloom and more liveliness, which also warmed Sangque's heart and made him sigh that they were all kind and simple farmers.

There was also a small bamboo tube of black dog blood, and he was about to help Sangque pour it on the old locust tree, but was stopped by Sangque.

Sang Que had no intention of checking at all, he was just pretending.

There is also relevant evidence for this point. Kou Yushan said that Yan Daozi took action in the Corpse Nest incident and tore the corpse into pieces out of thin air. His ability to dismember was very similar to Yin Tong's ability to tear people's arms apart.

Use the negative energy from wandering souls to cleanse the soul, which is gentle and non-irritating.

Then come back before midnight, meditate with the wandering soul and evil spirit in your body, enter the Nine Netherworld in your dream, and let your soul continue to sink into the depths of the Nine Netherworld.

To enter the Nine Netherworld directly, skilled people can do so through meditation, while unskilled people need the assistance of a soul lamp.

Sang Que lit the soul lamp with her blood and lay on the table. Whether her plan could succeed depended on whether Yin Tong agreed.
