Chapter 133 Why is it you? !
With people dying one after another, people inside and outside the Zhao family’s old house were in panic.
Two people died overnight.
This not only made Boss Zhao extremely angry, but also made Li Daoxuan feel a little embarrassed.
No matter what Li Daoxuan thought in his mind after all this, this was after all, a "ghost killing people" and those who were lost were human lives. As a Taoist priest, he was helpless. Everyone suspected that he was a fake Taoist priest.
When Li Daoxuan heard such remarks, he felt embarrassed and could only laugh it off. He understood everyone's feelings. Both murders happened too suddenly and caught people off guard.
But he felt that there was something fishy going on, and that this person might not even be killed by a ghost.
There are ghosts in the world, they are the souls of dead people.
People have three souls: the heavenly soul, the earthly soul and the human soul.
After a person dies, the Heavenly Soul returns to Heaven. Because the Heavenly Soul is only the conscience, and is also the immortal "Wuji", it cannot return to its origin due to the causal connection with the physical body, so it has to be taken to the place of sustenance on the Space Heavenly Road and temporarily detained by its master god. This is the so-called "Heavenly Prison".
The earth soul, also known as the ghost, returns to the earth and reaches the underworld. Because the earth soul can know the cause and effect of all the deeds in life, and is also responsible for the evil of the flesh in the world, after death, the earth soul will enter the place of cause and effect.
The human soul wanders among the cemeteries, because the human soul is originally the flesh and blood of the "ancestors" of the surname passed down from generation to generation. It can only function with the seven spirits in the body. After death, the soul will guard the body in the cemetery, and it becomes a place where the living people place their emotions.
But there are always special things that will cause people's ghosts to remain in the world, and this is the origin of ghosts.
But if a ghost wants to kill someone, it is very difficult.
When ordinary wandering ghosts see people, those with little spiritual power are so afraid of being dispersed by the yang energy of living people that they don't even have time to hide, let alone dare to attack people.
If the wandering soul is washed by negative energy for many years and turns into a wild ghost, it can cause trouble to people, create some illusions, or appear to scare people.
Even so, it can only bring some trouble.
Anyone with Yang energy can use their Yang energy to disperse such ghosts when they encounter them. Or if a person is full of murderous aura, their own evil aura will be stronger, which can also disperse ghosts.
So although wild ghosts can be scary, they rarely cause deaths.
Most of the absurd and strange things among the people are caused by wild ghosts.
If the wild ghost has the opportunity to turn into a fierce ghost when encountering evil spirits, it can charm people's hearts, absorb Yang Qi, and even kill people. However, such killing is usually not easy. It may create an illusion to scare the person to death, or absorb Yang Qi to make the person die of illness. Such fierce ghosts who want to kill people directly often appear in white clothes, and they are also the main force that harms people in folk stories.
If one goes one step further, he will be transformed into an evil ghost, wearing red clothes and living in the world, and will be able to harass and kill people with his ghostly aura.
If things really come to this, it would be easy to just take someone's life.
However, when these evil ghosts act, there is often some ghost energy left over. However, although the expressions of the two dead people were horrified, there was no ghost energy on their bodies, and even their yang energy was not lost. This really made Li Daoxuan feel confused.
So, is it really “ghosts killing people”?
"Young Taoist priest, what should we do now?" Boss Zhao asked Li Daoxuan, suppressing his anger.
"This ghost is ferocious and brutal in killing people. I'm afraid it's not an ordinary ghost." Li Daoxuan looked calm, paused for a moment and continued, "It may not even be a ghost."
"What do you mean, Taoist priest?" Boss Zhao sat up straight and asked Li Daoxuan.
"Master, can you see that the evil ghosts kill people by pulling out their tongues?"
"Tongue removal?"
"The first one looks like he was hanged, and the second one looks like he was pierced through the head by chopsticks, but both of them have their tongues sticking out. Zhao Erniu's is easy to explain, because a hanged person's tongue would stick out, but the weird thing is that Zhao Erniu's tongue even sticks out at the root. And this second one, he didn't hang himself, so why does the root of his tongue stick out as well?"
"This" Boss Zhao also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.
"When I saw these two people die just now, there was no ghost aura on their bodies, and their yang energy was not leaking. I'm afraid it wasn't the work of evil ghosts." Li Daoxuan continued calmly.
"Master, do you mean that they were killed by someone?" Boss Zhao asked with a strange look on his face after his anger faded.
“No, it’s not necessarily a person.”
"What else could this be except ghosts and humans?" Boss Zhao was puzzled.
"For example, corpse!" Li Daoxuan looked at Boss Zhao and whispered a word.
When Boss Zhao heard this, his pupils shrank slightly. His expression froze for a moment, and then he quickly looked away from Li Daoxuan. After a long while, he exhaled and asked softly, "Young Taoist priest, do you have a way to resolve this disaster? If this matter can be resolved, Zhao is willing to pay a hundred gold coins."
"This method is also simple." Li Daoxuan said with a smile. "I will go find this evil beast and kill it. If it is a human, I will catch it, if it is a corpse, I will subdue it. What do you think, young master?"
“Then I’ll leave it to you, young Taoist priest.” Boss Zhao bowed respectfully.
"Good." Li Daoxuan said, and took out a purple talisman from his bosom, handed it to Boss Zhao, and pointed at the purple talisman and said, "This is the Five Thunder Talisman, which has its own thunder will. It can exorcise evil spirits even without the need for mana. Young Master, put it in the hall to ensure that there is no worry in the hall. In addition, no one is allowed to leave this room until I come back."
"Then I'll trouble you, Taoist priest." Boss Zhao took the purple talisman and had it hung high. He saluted Li Daoxuan and watched him leave.
After Li Daoxuan left, Boss Zhao sat on the chair with one hand supporting his face and a stern expression.
He said something to the servant beside him, then stood up and left.
Li Daoxuan returned to his residence, put on his robes and carried the sword case on his back.
He looked at the dark night outside the house and jumped out without hesitation.
Li Daoxuan did not have night blindness. He walked in the dark courtyard and opened the Niwan Palace. Even if he did not activate the third eye, his vision at night would be better.
He took out a porcelain bottle from the pouch on his waist, poured out a few drops of liquid and rubbed it on his eyes, and he felt a cool sensation in his eyes.
The thing in this porcelain bottle is cow's tears, which was also what Li Daoxuan had people collect. After being tempered with magic, cow's tears can have the effect of improving eyesight and seeing ghosts and monsters. There is no need to maintain it with magic power, and even the naked eye can see clearly.
This can be considered a relatively useful thing. If he is prepared, Li Daoxuan does not need to consume his Dan Qi to use the Heavenly Eye. After all, the burden is too heavy after the Heavenly Eye is opened. If he needs to maintain the ability to observe ghosts for a long time, he is afraid that when the danger comes, he will not be able to fight, let alone practice the secret techniques and chant the spells.
Using cow's tears can avoid this trouble, but compared with the third eye, cow's tears are also limited and can only be used to observe ghosts.
Thinking of the female ghost in red that he saw during the day, Li Daoxuan walked towards the inner courtyard according to his memory.
"It is midnight now, when the yin energy is at its strongest. The female ghost in red may show up at this time. Let's see if I can ask her something." He thought to himself as he walked in the corridor.
There was silence all around, except for the sound of his footsteps.
Suddenly Li Daoxuan stopped and his ears moved slightly.
He stood still and suddenly stretched out his hand to block to the side.
Then he heard the sound of flesh and bones hitting each other. The next moment, he kicked out quickly, stepped on the attacking long knife, and used the force of the long knife to leap backwards and landed in the yard not far away.
He clenched his sword fingers, and his magic power flowed into his eyes. The night dissipated, and a bright scene appeared before his eyes.
When he looked in front of him again, he saw a man in night clothes rushing towards him with a long knife in his hand.
"Come on!" Li Daoxuan's mind moved, and without stopping, he took a few steps forward and kicked the man in black. He followed up with a few punches, each one as fast as the wind. His hands and feet moved in a chain, like butterflies flying. Each strike was exquisite, and the place where he struck was just right.
But this attacker was no ordinary man, wielding his long sword with great vigor.
Sweep, chop, plow, cut, plunder, nay, chop, and thrust.
Each and every move was extremely solid. His blade carried the wind, steady and without shaking. He opened and closed his sword vigorously, and he was evenly matched with Li Daoxuan.
"Good skills!" Li Daoxuan praised softly. "It's a pity that you met me."
He did not stop, the Dan Qi in his stomach surged up, his hands and feet moved faster, and he leaped into the air and kicked towards the man in black.
"Look at my move!"
The kick was like a whirlwind, leaving no trace, like a violent storm, making it difficult for the man in black to defend himself. He was barely able to defend himself and revealed a flaw. Li Daoxuan took the lead and kicked him right under the left rib.
The kick was so powerful that the man in black flew several meters away. Before he could get up, Li Daoxuan had already attacked him and used his internal force to step on his collarbone.
"You are such a thief! How dare you sneak attack your master? Let me see who you are," Li Daoxuan cursed softly. Before he finished speaking, he made a lightning-fast move and took off the mask of the man in black.
The next second, Li Daoxuan was shocked.
"why you?!"
