Early the next morning.

Zhou Lin got up early and was busy, but Youyou was still sleeping soundly.

This was the first time she slept so soundly after being out for so long, except for the time she fainted.

But not long after, Yu Lin hurried over and woke Youyou up.

"Youyou? Wake up, Taoist Xuantian is here and he wants to talk to you about something important."

Youyou opened his eyes dazedly.

"What's the matter, Daddy?"

Seeing his daughter's confused look, Yu Lin couldn't bear it.

But thinking of the look on Taoist Xuantian's face, he still said to Youyou: "Taoist Xuantian is here, in front, and he said he needs your help with something."

Youyou became a little more sober.

"He's coming? Okay, I'll get dressed and go."

She had been wearing quite thick clothes these days, so Yu Lin helped her.

After she put on her clothes and shoes, before going out, Yu Lin put the hat on her head.

Finally, he carried her to the front yard.

In the front yard, Taoist Xuantian looked dazed, with untidy beard, and did not look like a Taoist at all.

He looks like a fortune teller who is trying to cheat people out of money.

Youyou was shocked: "How did you get into this state?"

This is also why Yu Lin chose to wake Youyou up. Taoist Xuantian's appearance was not much better than when he first arrived at the Yu family.

So Yu Lin guessed that if it wasn’t an important matter, he wouldn’t have gotten himself into this state.

Seeing Youyou, Taoist Xuantian's eyes lit up: "You finally got up, this is it."

Taoist Xuantian began to talk about business.

"I am a disciple of Tianji Sect. There is also a junior brother in the same sect with me, whose Taoist name is Xuanling. I inherited the sect, and junior brother Xuanling left the sect and traveled around the world."

"Originally, every disciple who entered the Tianji Sect would light a lamp, called the natal soul lamp. His life situation could be observed from the soul lamp."

"Just the day before yesterday, I received news from my master that Junior Brother Xuan Ling's soul lamp was broken!"

"The soul lamp of my life will not break. Even death will only extinguish it. But now it has broken. I am afraid that not only has his life been taken, but even his soul has not been left!"

Taoist Xuantian was extremely anxious, and his eyes gradually turned red.

He and Xuan Ling entered the sect together, and they have always had a good relationship.

It was not until he inherited the Tianji Sect that Junior Brother Xuanling officially went down the mountain to travel.

In all these years, he has only returned to his master's sect once, and from then on, his condition can only be judged by his natal soul lamp.

Youyou frowned when he heard this: "It's very strange to hear you say that. What are you going to do now?"

Taoist Xuantian said with red eyes: "If it is a foregone conclusion, then I can't do anything about it. At least find his body and send it back to the sect, and then find out the cause of his death."

"When I was in the village, I tried every possible way to look for it, but to no avail. I can only ask you for help."

Youyou nodded: "That's no problem, but you must be clear that if your physical body is not left behind, then I can do nothing about it."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Xuantian nodded sadly: "I know."

"Give me one of his items and I'll try it."

Taoist Xuantian quickly took out a piece of the fragment: "This is the fragment of his life soul lamp. My master passed it to me using a secret method. The soul lamp is normally blue, and the color will not change even if it is extinguished, but this..."

The fragments are black and blue, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see the blue color at all.

Youyou frowned: "That's not right, why is the fragment of his soul lamp stained with the breath of the dead?"

Taoist Xuantian's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "Dead spirits? How is that possible? The soul lamp has always been in the sect, there is no way that undead spirits can sneak into the sect!"

Youyou raised his eyes and looked at him: "Didn't you say that he had returned to his master's sect once? And the soul of this dead spirit does not match the fragment of this soul lamp."

"The person in your sect who guards the soul lamp of my natal master, will he keep an eye on the situation of the soul lamp at all times?"

Taoist Xuantian shook his head: "No, I will only check it when there is something wrong with the soul lamp."

Speaking of this, Taoist Xuantian suddenly remembered the time when his junior brother went back. It seemed that it was because his natal soul lamp was unstable.

After he went back that time, he seemed to be injured, but not seriously, and left again within a few days.

These are what his fellow disciples said. He has rarely returned to his sect in recent years.

Taoist Xuantian is not stupid. A horrible thought suddenly arose in his mind.

"You mean, something happened when his soul lamp was unstable? The undead spirit attached itself to his body and returned to the sect?"

Youyou said: "That's not a wrong guess. At least there is the breath of the dead on the fragments. The logic of the breath not matching makes sense."

Taoist Xuantian clenched his fists again and again, and finally sighed: "If the undead targets us, this is indeed possible."

Youyou held the fragment in her hand and said, "I'd better try it first."

After all, it is a fragment of my natal soul lamp. As long as the body is still there, I can find it.

As soon as the soul-chasing talisman appeared, the fragments immediately reacted.

Youyou exclaimed, "Go out and go ten miles west!"

So close?!

Youyou instantly connected Xuanling with the undead incident in Yuzhou Prefecture.

There were indeed people in the village outside Yunan County who had set up formations and performed forbidden techniques, and their abilities were quite high.

If this person is Xuan Ling from Tianji Sect, then it makes sense.

Taoist Xuantian picked up Youyou, shouted something to Yu Lin, and then left without looking back.

"Don't worry, I will send her back!"

Yu Lin listened to the whole story and realized the seriousness of the matter.

Now he no longer finds it mysterious and he has slowly gotten used to it.

As Taoist Xuantian took Youyou away, Sheng Jing came in.

"Was that Taoist Xuantian just now?"

Yu Lin turned sideways and nodded, "That's right."

"Who did he take out with him?"

"Youyou."

Sheng Jing frowned: "Why is he taking a child out? Do you know him?"

Yu Lin didn't know how to explain, so he simply said, "The Taoist priest and Youyou are destined to be together, and he came to see Youyou for something."

Seeing this, Sheng Jing couldn't ask anything, so he turned and left.

Yu Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the county government office and heading west for ten miles, the two men left Liuyun County and walked quickly for a distance before finally stopping at a stretch of rolling hills.

"Is this... a mass grave?" Youyou said with a frown.

Even though many people died, they shouldn't have been buried like this, right?

There were corpses scattered here and there on the hill, some with broken limbs, looking eerie and scary.

Taoist Xuantian looked around and shook his head, saying, "It doesn't look like that. These are all new graves, and the bodies of the deceased were not left exposed in the wilderness. Judging from the situation, they must have been dug out by wild dogs."

The small hills are connected one after another, closely connected.

"Where?"

Youyou looked around and locked on a target.

"There!"

After finding the location, Taoist Xuantian placed Youyou in a relatively clean place, and then began to dig the grave with his bare hands.

Youyou looked left and right and actually found a hoe.

"use this!"

Taoist Xuantian took it and continued digging.
