The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Lu Yuan looked up and saw two old soldiers with whom he had a good relationship. One was named He and the other was named Tan.

He called He Ge Tan Ge.

Although there are only a dozen people in a team, they are divided into three or four small circles.

Brother He and Brother Tan don’t bully the new recruits and are quite caring towards him.

"Lu Yuan, where have you been? Didn't you say you had a stomachache? I looked for you for a long time but couldn't find you."

He Ge looked at him worriedly, looking at the direction he had just come from, his face changed slightly, "Why did you come from there?"

That's the direction into the village.

Even if they were traveling together, they wouldn't dare to enter the village at this time. How could Lu Yuan dare to go there alone?

"Brother He, Brother Tan, no, nothing. I was just looking for some herbs. They're the herbs you told me about before. I don't know how I ended up there."

As Lu Yuan spoke, he looked back again. It was dusk now, and the twilight was thick. The village seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark gray. He didn't know why, but when he looked at it like this, his mind could not help but imagine some messed up images.

For example, a group of ghosts of all ages, genders, with faces as pale as paper, hollow eyes, blood in the corners of their eyes, and stiff movements, stood in a row at the entrance of the village, all staring at him.

hiss.

Lu Yuan shuddered and tried hard to get rid of this image from his mind.

"Why would you go there to find herbs? I've told you so many times that you can't just wander around here, especially when night falls. You have to hurry back to the cabin."

"Lu Yuan, have you found the herbs? Does your stomach still hurt?"

Lu Yuan shook his head.

He touched his stomach. It was strange that he had such severe stomach pain in the afternoon, but now it really didn't hurt at all.

Not only is it not painful, it's not cold either.

He carefully put the amulet given by Lu Zhaoling into his arms.

"Brother Tan, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore."

At this moment, he had a more intuitive feeling about Lu Zhaoling's ability. The master is so powerful, he should be fine, right?

"If you're fine, go back quickly. I heard that the captain is coming soon."

"What? It's already this late, and the Captain is still coming?" Lu Yuan was shocked.

If Captain Su hadn't come, none of them would want to enter the village, and Lu Zhaoling would not be discovered no matter what she did inside.

But Captain Su is a troublemaker when he comes, and he is likely to ask them to patrol the village with torches.

If that were the case, Lu Zhaoling would definitely be discovered if she made any noise.

"What's wrong? The Qianhu Lord comes here often, don't you know it now?"

"Let's go back and eat something. If the captain really lets us into the village, we'll be doomed. We'll be scared, cold, and hungry."

They felt that if they really had to go into the village, they should at least choose one thing first: to have enough to eat.

Lu Yuan went back to the wooden house with them, but he was still very nervous. He was worried that Lu Zhaoling was in the village. On the one hand, he was afraid that something might happen to her, and on the other hand, he was afraid that she would make some noise that would implicate him. If the captain really ran into her, a small soldier like him with little influence would not be able to protect her.

If I had known earlier, I should have persuaded her to come out first.

Such emotions have been pulling at Lu Yuan.

After Lu Yuan left the village, Lu Zhaoling let him go.

"Mrs. Sheng San."

Madam Sheng San appeared and stood beside her, looking at the pit of corpses in shock.

She is a ghost cultivator and has some magical powers, so she can also see the strong ghost aura above the pit.

However, these ghostly auras have not yet fully transformed. Occasionally, a few wisps of them float by, and one can still vaguely recognize a human form.

Once the ghost energy is transformed, there will be no trace of human form left.

"How come there is another ghost energy pool? No, this is a ghost energy pit." Madam Sheng San's face changed again when she saw the corpses in the pit.

"These are the villagers of Cuosha Village, right? They are so miserable. They encountered a massacre while they were alive, and they were used to refine ghost energy after they died?"

"Ah."

Lu Zhaoling took out the talisman and walked around the edge of the pit step by step, placing a talisman every nine steps.

Madam Sheng San followed beside her.

"What evil did they do in their previous lives to deserve such a tragic end?"

"It's not that they did evil, but that they met people who did evil."

While Lu Zhaoling was laying out the talisman, he said calmly, "You can't look for the reason in yourself when you encounter a result. Many people have been following the rules for several lifetimes, but ended up meeting bad people. It's not their fault."

This was the first time that Madam Sheng San had heard such a statement. Usually, when they encountered a tragic event, they would say that it was due to their bad deeds in their previous life.

"Then Master Lu, what are you going to do now?" she asked.

"Of course, we have to break this evil spirit pit. If they meet me, I will make them unable to do any evil."

As she spoke, she laid down a few more talismans.

Seeing her take out another stack of talismans, Madam Sheng San's mouth twitched.

Could it be that she had been trapped for decades and couldn't keep up with the dynasties outside? With the development of Xuanmen to this day, when the masters made a move, the talismans were stacked up?

Seeing Lu Zhaoling take out so many talismans, Madam Sheng San felt as if she had recalled the terrifying experience of being bombarded with talismans by Lu Zhaoling in the small building.

"Master Lu, do you think the person who set up this ghost pit is the same person who set up the ghost pool in the abandoned house?"

Lu Zhaoling continued to walk around the pit. After a moment of silence, she said, "The ghost pool you are in has existed for a long time. It was probably not set up by the person who imprisoned you in the first place."

"I think it was that person who discovered the ghost energy pool in that place and made use of it. He was even inspired to create a ghost energy pit in this village."

Because that ghost pool is obviously very old, more than a few decades old.

"Master, what you mean is that there was another powerful evil cultivator who created the ghost energy pool first?"

"Ah."

This is very possible.

"Too scary, the other party must be very powerful. I heard that there used to be the First Xuanmen, but it's gone. If the First Xuanmen was still there, they would probably take care of these things, right?"

Lu Zhaoling glanced at Madam Sheng San, but he didn't expect that she also knew about the First Mysterious Gate.

When Lu Zhaoling heard what Madam Sheng San said, an idea seemed to flash through his mind.

But now she was busy making talismans, so she didn't think too much about it for the time being.

By the time she finished walking around, all the talismans had been set up.

She took out the bell and looked at Madam Sheng San.

"Third lady."

Madam Sheng San suddenly felt something was wrong, and she took two steps back defensively.

"doing what?"

She always felt that it was not a good thing when he suddenly called out so seriously.

"Next, I'll need a little help from you," said Lu Zhaoling.

"What help do you need? It shouldn't be that difficult, right?" Madam Sheng San took another step back.

Lu Zhaoling said, "No... it's not too difficult."
