Liaozhai Great Sage

Wherever it passes, there is a dark wind that follows, surrounds the left and right, lingers, and there is also a faint smell of paper dust.

If an experienced old man passed by here, he would know that this Yinfeng is actually a group of ghosts passing by.

These ghosts following around are naturally the nineteen guards including Tieshan brought back by Li Xiuyuan from the underworld.

Li Xiuyuan has already ordered before that he is not close to gods and ghosts, so Tieshan and the others should not get too close, so as not to be affected, especially when he takes off his jade belt to sleep, he must hide far away. Don't be mistaken for your breath.

So follow all the way, still separated by a certain distance.

"Bang! Bang!"

When he passed by a street near the mansion, he saw the door of a house was open, and a simple and honest middle-aged man was frowning, holding a gleaming waist knife and seriously sharpening it on the whetstone.

One click, one click very hard, the sound is crisp and loud, especially at night.

Li Xiuyuan took a look, but saw that the waist knife had been sharpened brightly, and there was no need to sharpen it any more.

eccentric?

He couldn't help asking curiously; "My friend, your knife has been sharpened enough, why are you still sharpening it?"

"Ah~!"

The simple and honest man was startled by Li Xiuyuan's voice, and the waist knife in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, as if he didn't expect that there were still pedestrians passing by his door at such a late hour.

"No, it's nothing, it's nothing to sharpen the knife, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will rust."

His tone of voice was stammering, and his expression seemed very nervous.

"But this knife has been polished to a shiny finish, without a trace of rust." Li Xiuyuan said.

The simple and honest man hurriedly said again: "Only, it's just that I can't sleep at night, and I have nothing to grind."

"So that's the case, then I won't bother you sharpening your knife."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, ignoring this person's strange behavior.

But when he almost passed by and looked back, he saw that the simple and honest man had already put away the whetstone and waist knife, got up in a hurry and went back to the house.

"Young master, this person sharpens his knife in the middle of the night, and he's sneaky and fearful." A whispering voice sounded in his ear, but it was the ghost of a dead guard who spoke.

"You are a ghost and you still say that others are sneaky, and he is just sharpening a knife. It's okay to be suspicious, and others don't necessarily want to do bad things."

Li Xiuyuan said: "Besides, even if this person is really going to sharpen his knife to kill, then the others haven't killed yet, so don't be so nervous."

"Yes, Eldest Young Master." A dark wind blew away nearby.

"Okay, go back, I have a gift for you."

After returning to the mansion, Li Xiuyuan took out some incense that he had prepared earlier.

These incenses were his gifts. Originally, he planned to give these incenses to the City God as a gift when he left the Temple of the City God. After all, he was asking the City God for help, so he had to express it.

But now it seems that there is no need for this.

This city god has his own little thoughts, so there is no need for Li Xiuyuan to be so kind and even give him a gift. He has a good temper if he didn't tear down his city god's temple in a fit of anger.

"You are all ghosts now, you have to enjoy the incense on weekdays, from ghosts to ghost messengers, and then to ghost soldiers, so that you will not be unable to deal with ghosts and ghosts in the future."

He took a fire pocket and lit all the incense, and then stuck them all on the ground.

The smoke rose slowly, carrying a strong smell of incense.

These incenses are different from other incenses, they are stained with Li Xiuyuan's blood, and the burning incense contains special effects, which can increase the power of ghosts.

Originally, this great gift was enjoyed by the City God, but the City God did not have this blessing.

Although Tieshan, Li Zhong and the others are fierce ghosts, they are naturally fiercer than other ghosts, but at most they are similar to ghosts, and there is still a big gap between them and those ghost soldiers.

Although ghosts of this level can deal with ordinary people, they can't deal with things with real morality.

Only when you become a Yin soldier or a ghost general, can you be regarded as having the Tao and practice, and you can go on the path of becoming a god with incense and fire.

In this world, there are city gods, land gods, and river gods, but there are also countless little hair gods.

Just like the bald Taoist before, if he accumulates incense and everything goes well, the Qingfeng Temple will become a temple in the future, and he will be able to become a god with incense, and become a small god of Qingfeng Temple.

Although the bald Taoist did not succeed, it shows that his path of practice is worth trying by many ghosts.

Among other things, let's just say that the thousand-year-old tree spirit in Lanruo Temple has absorbed the incense and attained the Tao.

A tree worshiped for a long time, worshiped for a long time, can become a spirit, let alone Tieshan and the others.

Li Xiuyuan believes that as long as he builds a temple for Tieshan and the others, the incense will continue to burn in the future, and the people in Guobei County will worship more, and they will become a ghost in the future, no worse than the city god of Guobei City.

As the incense spread, Tieshan and the nineteen ghosts involuntarily absorbed it.

Ghosts are born to enjoy incense.

One offering of incense can keep ghosts from starving for a year.

But if more incense is enshrined, ghosts can strengthen themselves by absorbing incense and step onto the path of cultivation.

"Young Master, these incenses are so powerful. I feel like I'm full of power from the small body." A guard was originally strong, but after absorbing the incense, his body quickly became larger, and he was like a little giant. All full of power.

And the body is much more solid than before, without that ethereal feeling.

"This is a normal phenomenon. After you get incense, you will gradually transform from ordinary ghosts." Li Xiuyuan said.

In just a moment he could smell the incense from the guards.

Not worse than those ghosts.

In other words, from now on, these nineteen fierce ghosts are ghost messengers. They have a certain level of morality, but they have not been canonized yet.

But the so-called canonization is just a title, which is irrelevant to them.

"Let's get used to the ghost body a bit more. After absorbing the incense, go back to the county, have a dream, and tell your family members, so that your family members can relieve some of the pain in their hearts." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Thank you, Eldest Young Master, for reminding me, I almost forgot about it." All the ghosts nodded.

Li Xiuyuan yawned and said: "I'm a little tired, I'm going back to sleep first, don't get too close to my room, so as not to be affected."

"I'll wait for people to understand, I'll let them pay attention." Tieshan nodded.

"That's good." Li Xiuyuan nodded and went back to the house to rest.

Just when he was going back to rest, he was in the Temple of the City God.
