After being forced to debut in metaphysics, I became popular

Because Baizhi Lake is located in a remote place, it is impossible to ensure a stable signal.

Therefore, before the official person in charge entered the deserted village but lost contact, Li Daochang and others also made sufficient preparations and explained all the things that need to be paid attention to to the prison, so as not to get blood medicine. At the critical moment, no one could be found.

The priests only said that they should not worry about them and focus on protecting the dangerous people in Southwest China and Binhai City.

But the Supervisory Court would rather they mention a few more topics about themselves.

If something really happened, this phone call might be the last time they talked in this life.

But the person who was about to go to the battlefield didn't even say a last word about his funeral.

"Eh……"

Hearing that the phone was about to be hung up, the supervisor spoke in a hurry.But when the Taoist priest on the opposite side asked doubtfully, the supervisor suddenly fell silent again.

After a while, he only sighed, said to each other to do their jobs well, don't worry about the other party, and hung up the phone.

And Haiyun Temple was already full of people and wounded people who had come to seek refuge.

The noise in the yard made the prisoner's gaze firm again. He strode over and arranged the troubled boy in a few words. Within a few minutes, the yard became orderly.

Xiao Daotong blinked his eyes, looked up at the supervisor, his eyes were full of admiration.

But there are also some people who are worried, and they are dragged from the foot of the mountain all the way into Haiyun Temple by their families. They still can't let go, looking for "weapons" that can resist, holding the huge broom for sweeping fallen leaves in the temple and not letting go. , looked up in shock at the slightest noise.

"Mom, can this work? Let's change places."

The young white-collar worker stood in front of his family with a broom, and asked his mother worriedly: "I thought you were taking me somewhere, why did you come to the temple fair? When is it and you are still thinking about coming to ask for a visa?" Marriage? Even if it is customary to urge marriage during the Chinese New Year, can we talk about safety first?"

He was still wearing commuting clothes, but his shirt was wrinkled and dusty, and his hair that had been sprayed with hairspray was messy in the air.

It seems that not long after he got home from get off work, he encountered a crisis of wooden dolls. He protected his family all the way from home and ran to Haiyun Temple, and encountered danger a lot.

Hearing this, his mother was stunned at first, then couldn't laugh or cry, and laughed kindly with the people around her.

"You silly child, don't you think that Haiyun Temple is for marriage?"

His mother slapped him lightly as if complaining, but the smile in her eyes couldn't stop: "Your mother, I was rescued by the Taoist priest of Haiyun Temple when I was a child. Well-known. Otherwise, why do you think typhoons in summer are often thunderous and rainy, and do not cause too much harm?"

The young white-collar asked confusedly and strangely: "What else could it be? The typhoon ran away due to the influence of the climate. Is it possible that you want to say that this is also because of Haiyunguan?"

"Hey, what age is it, Mom, stop talking about your nonsense, we have to believe in science."

The mother was both angry and funny: "You child, are you like a donkey? If your mother can't accept science, why can't you accept theology?"

Even though Haiyun Temple occupies a large area, with Haiyun Temple's attitude of opening the mountain gate and not rejecting anyone's help, it is still crowded with people very quickly, which is quite like a subway in the evening rush hour.

There were so many people that there was not much room between them.

Although the mother and son spoke in a low voice, they were clearly heard by the people around them.

They all saw the caring eyes of the mother and child, and those who were able to choose Haiyun Temple as the first choice for refuge in a critical moment were mostly older people who had experienced the past, so they would He ran over with the younger generation at home.

So they felt the same way for this mother.

For a moment, light laughter blended.

The uncle and aunt smiled and pulled the young white-collar worker, and said, "Young man, don't worry, it is absolutely safe in Haiyun Temple."

"Oh, young people nowadays don't know that the Haiyun Temple was not famous for its tourist attractions back then, so why did it tell fortunes, seek marriage, and worship the moon... The Haiyun Temple I know is famous for its formations and efficacies , when it comes to practice, it has to be Haiyun Guan."

"That's right, Haiyun Temple was the first to become famous. Later, the children noticed the existence of such a place and started to travel."

"Well, young people these days still know how to come here to seek marriage. I guess when my grandson grows up, he will remember going to the temple fair and the market. It's so lively and fun."

"Do you also have stone sculptures in your house?"

And the old man pulled the sleeve of the white-collar worker, and he couldn't help complaining: "Oh, my house is the same. I just pulled a stone statue back the day before yesterday to make a fountain, but today such a thing happened. My old lady ran away. While beating... oh, oh, oh, wrong, wrong, it hurts."

Before I finished speaking, I just found the old sister in the crowd and confirmed the other party's safe temperament. As soon as the old lady squeezed back, she heard what the old man said, and immediately rolled up her sleeves and grabbed the other party's ear, and the old man stopped complaining immediately , behaved like a rabbit being held in the hand.

He also persuaded the old lady to let go in a soft voice, otherwise the newly made manicure would fall off.

The old lady snorted, rolled her eyes gracefully, gathered the shawl around her body, and looked at the still confused young white-collar worker with concern.

"Don't worry, my mother and my brother were rescued by Taoist Master Haiyun Temple when they were young. With Haiyun Temple here, we just need not to cause trouble for the Taoist priests."

"Don't be afraid of those ghosts. People are three percent afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are seven percent afraid of people. If you are not afraid of ghosts, no ghosts can harm you." ①

Seeing the young white-collar worker's appearance that would shatter the grandma's three views, his mother laughed out loud "Puff!"

The young white-collar worker scratched his head embarrassingly, nodded and said, "Understood, that is to say, Haiyun Temple is not the kind of Internet celebrity scene with pink bubbles, not famous for taking pictures and punching cards, but Shaolin Temple monks?"

Everyone nodded in relief.

Only Xiao Daotong, who was standing on tiptoe and listening curiously, had a black line on his face: he ran to the Taoist temple and said that the elders are monks... Are you friends with the director named Zhang Wubing?He also said before that Haiyun Temple is a single monk temple, you are all here to smash the scene, right?

With such an episode, people who had never met each other quickly drew closer and began to talk about each other's situation.

"My house has a fashion ornament in the living room, how can I expect it to come back to life?"

When I mentioned this, my mother was terrified: "If it wasn't for my son's heavy overtime work, he didn't get off work until midnight, and according to our family's schedule of going to bed at [-] o'clock in the evening, he would really sleep so hard that he wouldn't be able to notice it at all."

The young white-collar worker also recalled the scene he saw when he first returned home.

He had tiptoed into the kitchen in the dark, not wanting to disturb his sleeping parents, and was hungry to make a bowl of noodles.Unexpectedly, when he passed his parents' bedroom, he saw a figure standing beside his parents' bed.

With the colorful light from outside, the young white-collar worker was shocked to find that the vague figure was holding a kitchen knife high and ready to swing it down.

He thought it was a thief in the house, so he rushed over to throw the man down with a loud roar, and grabbed the knife without hesitation.

It was then that he suddenly realized that the figure was not a thief at all.

It was a plastic statue he had just bought a few months ago and placed in the living room.

The young white-collar worker broke out in a cold sweat.

The plastic statue is not afraid of pain at all. Even if one arm is cut off and the head is chopped off, it can still run after people. It seems that all methods are ineffective.

Although the young white-collar worker wondered what it was, he hurriedly dragged his parents and ran outside.

However, they found that the streets that had been quiet just now were filled with cries and calls for help, and the sounds of broken windows and fighting kept coming and going, and the red and blue lights on the street made people even more nervous.

The young white-collar worker originally wanted to drag his parents to the jurisdiction to ask for help, but when he saw someone asking for help along the way, he couldn't help so much, so he reached out to help, and unknowingly veered in the direction of Haiyunguan.

So the parents waved their hands and simply dragged him to Haiyunguan.And it was at that time that he was shocked to find that there were so many people running towards Haiyun Temple.

After everyone talked about their own affairs in a hurry, they compared the news with each other, only to find that the people who had the accident were all the statues in the family.

This made the young white-collar workers who were originally atheists couldn't help being shaken.

Could it be that it was really ghosts?How else to explain the moving statue?

Just when the young white-collar worker looked confused, he saw a child struggling to squeeze in from the crowd. The difficulty was comparable to getting off the subway during rush hour.

The kid was so angry that his cheeks puffed up, he was round and white, and he clenched his little fist stubbornly.

However, the miniature Taoist robe on his body still showed his identity.

At first, because Xiao Daotong was not waist-high, many people didn't notice him.

When they found him, everyone hurried out of the way, joined hands and saluted Xiaodaotong, thanking Haiyun Temple for still helping everyone at this time.

"Need not."

Xiao Daotong pursed his lips, although his expression was serious, but coupled with his baby cheeks, he still gave him a kind of cuteness pretending to be an adult, which made everyone laugh.

"Now Guanli is understaffed, and the master in the kitchen has also gone outside together. There is nothing to eat in Guanli, so I cooked porridge and rice for the Spring Festival. If you need it later, you can go to the kitchen and line up to get it."

When Xiao Daotong talked about this, he was still a little shy: "No one in the kitchen is here, and only a few of us are cooking. If it doesn't taste good..."

He lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "Then don't tell me."

Everyone was surprised at first, and then laughed out loud after being teased by Xiaodaotong.

Even the young white-collar worker slowly let go of his guard, and gradually let go of the broom in his hand.

Xiao Daotong noticed the behavior of the young white-collar worker, so he asked him to return the broom expressionlessly, and asked in a strange manner: "What are you doing with the broom we used to clean the toilet?"

Young white-collar worker: "!!!"

The people next to him: Oh!

Everyone dispersed immediately, and the young white-collar worker quickly threw the broom away.

Xiao Daotong nodded calmly, picked up the broom that was taller than himself, and after seeing the young white-collar worker was taken aback, he said in satisfaction: "Oh, I was wrong, this is for sweeping fallen leaves. "

He stuck out his tongue: Who told you that we are monks, hum.

While the supervisor was on the phone, he also noticed that the atmosphere in the courtyard gradually eased from anxiety.

Looking at the laughter and laughter over there, he was also infected with a good mood. He smiled and asked the people around him: "This child...how come after meeting Fellow Daoist Yan twice, he looks more and more like Fellow Daoist Yan?"

The bystanders rubbed their chins, and pondered: "It seems to be a bit similar. I said, why is his temper becoming less and less like his master."

"Friend Daoist Yan."

Others shook their heads and laughed: "What is this? Charisma?"

Speaking of Yan Shixun, the supervisor was a little worried: "Yan Daoyou and others disappeared in Baizhi Lake first, and no news came out, and Daoist Ma and Daoist Wang... don't know how they are doing now. , hope you are safe."

"Three Qings are above, and I wish to turn bad luck into good luck."

The others sighed, and sincerely hoped that those who were rushing to the front line of Baizhi Lake could solve all this as soon as possible.

The Taoist priests in the entire Haiyun Temple were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground, and even the lay disciples who were in charge of miscellaneous affairs in the Taoist temple were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink water.

The two pilgrims, mother and son, who were originally left in the temple, were naturally left unattended.

While no one was paying attention, the young man took his mother through the back window, and tiptoed out as if he was a thief, for fear that he would be found and unable to leave.

Fortunately, there were many people in the temple at this time, and no one noticed the two of them.

The people around saw the mother and child, and they just wondered why everyone was running towards Haiyun Temple, but these two operated in the opposite direction, running out of Haiyun Temple?

However, with their own safety at stake, everyone ignored their curiosity, and turned their eyes back after muttering twice in their hearts.

The mother and son were able to leave Haiyun Temple easily and returned to Binhai City.

The street is deserted, and there are occasional debris scattered on the ground, as if someone left something behind in a hurry and couldn't pick it up in time.

After the initial chaos passed, with the help of the people from the special department and the Haiyun Taoist priests, order was quickly restored, and everyone was organized in an orderly manner to stay away from danger.

In open areas like the street, where there is no shelter at all, and where it is no different from a live target, no one is willing to leave it.

The mother and son didn't know what happened before, and seeing this scene, although inexplicably a bit desolate, was not at all the dangerous scene that the prison said, they couldn't help but feel like "you really are lying to me".

The young man even opened his arms and breathed heavily intoxicated, feeling a sense of joy of regaining freedom.

He planned in his heart that when he got home, he must buy some snacks first, and then play games all night to his heart's content, so as to get rid of the bad luck of being disgusted by Hai Yunguan.

But at this time, the priests who were sent out to Haiyun Temple were still saving people in various neighborhoods and streets, and Haiyun Temple was busy again.

No one found out the whereabouts of the mother and son.

Although my mother felt inexplicably flustered, but it was early morning after all, and it seemed reasonable that there was no one on the street, so she didn't care.

"My son is still smart, otherwise the two of us would still be angry with those people in Haiyun Temple. When I went to worship God, I never found out that they are such corrupt people."

"This time I can see their true colors clearly, don't even think about asking me to pay a penny in the future! The hundreds of dollars I donated in the past should be given to beggars."

After the mother finished cursing angrily, she turned around and praised: "As expected of my son."

The young man puffed out his chest, and said with a shy voice: "Mom, don't worry, I recorded the video of that little boy beating me, and I will post it on the Internet during the day tomorrow, so that everyone can watch Haiyun Temple together." Mouth."

"What kind of internet celebrity Taoist temple? Pooh! A bunch of scammers who cheat money and hurt people."

The young man said proudly, "I'm doing a good deed, so I'm going to make a fool of everyone, haha."

"My son is awesome!"

The mother and son walked home happily.

However, they didn't notice that in the dark place at the corner of the street, there was a stiff face hidden in the darkness, with a pale complexion and red cheeks, and lifeless eyes staring at the mother and child.

In the shadows behind every turn in the alley, human figures are blurred and looming.

……

"Master, the supervisor's phone number."

Daoist said to Li Daochang respectfully: "I have already said what I should tell the prison, so I don't have to worry about outside things anymore."

Li Daochang nodded casually, never taking his attention away from the southwest ghost exorcist beside him.

Although Li Daochang is the most skilled person in this group, his understanding of the Southwest is not as good as that of the ghost exorcist who himself learned from the Southwest.

What's more, this ghost exorcist who took the initiative to find them and was allowed to enter the high-risk area with them by exception, had personally experienced two major events in the southwest in modern times.

One is based on the technique of disgusting victory, reconstructing the technique, so that the ghosts in Southwest that cannot be reincarnated and too many to fit are put into puppets with living mouths and eyes, making the ghosts tangible, and then deal with them in one fell swoop. The ghosts of ordinary people's lives.

The other thing is that the master of this ghost exorcist assisted Li Chengyun to complete the suppression of Baizhi Lake back then.

No matter which one it is, it is of great significance to the current situation.

The southwest exorcist saw that everyone around him was staring at him—they were all the Taoist priests of Haiyun Temple who were so powerful in the legend that they could call wind and rain and cast beans into soldiers, and suddenly felt a little shy, and even their voices became weak .

In this line of people, if you look left and right, they are all people who can only be seen at Taoist conferences or important scientific ceremonies in the past. They are well-known and prestigious.

Even the heads of other sects in the Southwest would only be respectful when they saw any of these Taoist priests.

But now, these bosses appeared beside him so easily, not only surrounded him, but also looked at him...

The southwest ghost exorcist somehow felt like he was a rookie among the big bosses.

Noticing the panic of the Southwest Ghost Exorcist, Li Daochang snorted, raised his hand and slapped him hard on the back, with a blunt "pop!", his back that was bent down because of shyness Give it a straight shot.

"Stand up, be confident!"

Li Daochang said in distaste: "I should pull out my disciple and grandson to show you, and you complement each other—he can't even fart and can be confident all day long. You have obviously become a teacher and are a good enough ghost exorcist." , but still not confident, tsk."

Li Daochang felt that if Lu Xingxing had the ability of this person instead, he might not have just raised his tail to the sky.

Still hunched over?

Lu Xingxing can go to order eighteen flags and write what he can do, and then tie them behind his back and go out triumphantly. He can also hang a horn on his waist, explaining what kind of achievements he has, how outstanding he is.

Li Daochang: How could I have such a confident disciple!He might as well learn to sing Peking Opera.

The Southwest Ghost Exorcist was stunned at first, then blushed, with tears welling up in his eyes.

Because the master left early, he was young and did not become a teacher at that time, so he was always looked down upon by other ghost exorcists. No one has ever valued him so much.

Not to mention that Li Daochang, a character that all exorcists can't reach, actually noticed his emotions carefully and comforted him...

The ghost exorcist in the Southwest felt sour, but his fighting spirit was high.

He felt that he could suddenly understand why his master had to die to help Lay Chengyun back then, and he also understood the saying that "a scholar dies for his confidant".

Back then, Master was also because of layman Chengyun's trust and solemn entrustment to Master, so he knew the danger but followed without hesitation.

After all, it is the Layman Chengyun who travels all over the world and has friends all over the world.

Many years after he disappeared, there are still countless respected people who are concerned about his situation. Even now, anyone who seeks help in the name of Layman Chengyun will definitely get a response from everyone.

This is the personality charm that layman Chengyun once left in everyone's hearts.

The Southwest Ghost Exorcist recalled that he didn't understand that sentence when he read it before, but only now did he feel that he must do his best tonight just because Daoist Li valued and comforted him at this time!

Succeed or benevolent! ①

"Later, I also reviewed the situation of my master in the past. Layman Chengyun came here for woodcarving with a lively mouth and vivid eyes, and it is recorded in my master's handbook that one of the carpenters who is proficient in this technique is surnamed Zheng."

The Southwest Ghost Exorcist said sincerely: "When the person in charge asked about it, I only knew that the last recorded woodcarver who could liven up his words and eyes was only Carpenter Zheng, but he moved later and no one was there anymore. I know where his family is going."

The more Li Daochang and the others listened, the more they frowned.

According to the ghost exorcists from the Southwest, the reason why the wood carvings were made into living mouths and eyes at first was that it was closer to the image of strangers and more attractive to wandering ghosts. A ghost is attached to the wood carving, which also improves the efficiency of the ghost exorcist.

Secondly, it is also to control the woodcarving.

The organs with vivid mouths and eyes are built into the wood carvings, but they can be manipulated by others - such as ghost exorcists.

In this way, there is no need to worry about getting out of control after the wood carving is filled with ghosts.

However, the control back door opened for ghost exorcists back then, now that ghosts are in power, it is convenient for ghosts to control these wood carvings.

The Taoist priest couldn't help but worry: "Since your master's last foothold was in Baizhi Lake, and layman Chengyun also came here, it seems that Carpenter Zheng, who seems to have disappeared, is in the village next to Baizhi Lake."

However, back then, the evil spirit was already strong enough to kill the ghost exorcist's master. Now, after so many years, plus ghosts...

Even though the Taoist leader was prepared, he still couldn't help but be startled.

While speaking, everyone had already reached the deserted village next to Baizhi Lake.

The outline of the village loomed in the darkness, although according to the archives, the village had been abandoned for many years because of the deaths of all the villagers.

But when everyone actually walked into the village, they found that the place didn't seem too dilapidated, at most it was a bit deserted because no one took care of it, and some brick walls and roofs collapsed.

It was similar to the impoverished village the Taoist priest had been to, and it was far better than the Taoist priest had expected.

"It doesn't look like no one lives here."

A Taoist priest lowered his head to observe carefully, pointed to the imprint left on the sandy ground under his feet and said: "There are still shoe prints left, and at first glance, it is not left by the person in charge."

The Taoist priest knew very well that the official leaders usually choose boots that are easy to move when they go out to work, but the shoe prints he saw looked like old-fashioned cloth shoes.

It's not the kind sold outside, but the style that I can make.

This village was massacred decades ago, and among the people who come here one after another today, no one wears old-fashioned cloth shoes.

The Taoist priest suspected that after the death of the people in the village, they were still "alive" through the wood carvings with living mouths and eyes, or people from other villages came to visit.

No matter which one it is, the Taoist priest muster up his spirit to deal with it.

After entering the world covered by ghosts, everyone obviously felt that the power in their bodies was suppressed, and they felt like they couldn't breathe smoothly.

Like a fish being thrown onto land.

A priest jokingly said: "I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would also experience the feeling of being a 'ghost'. Is that what ghosts used to feel when they were hiding in the world?"

The Taoist priest next to him smiled wryly: "I'm afraid even the effect of the spell will be greatly reduced, so we must proceed with caution."

"Daoist, you said earlier that a young man saw my master's bones in the abandoned temple?"

The voice of the southwest ghost exorcist was full of weeping, and he asked cautiously: "After the matter here is resolved, can I go to that temple? Daoist, don't worry, I will never delay the business."

"I just……"

He lowered his head and said sullenly, "I just want to take my master home."

Li Daochang stopped when he reached out to push the door of the next house.

With his back to everyone, he suddenly thought of his little junior brother.

The most talented disciple of Haiyun Temple since it was recorded.

Too many people died.

At that time, all of Li Daochang's brothers went down the mountain to the battlefield to provide rescue and medicine for ordinary people, but only a few came back.

And Li Daochang's master picked up a young child at that time.

'There will be a catastrophe in the world. '

The master looked at the youngest child back then, and sighed, "A talent that is not born in the world, corresponds to an ordinary and difficult disaster."Dao must have seen the future before making preparations in advance.This child... will become the life of the world. '

Because Li Chengyun's talent is too high, the master is afraid that God will take this child away, so before he grows up, he calls him "dog egg" to balance his fate.

At that time, the young Li Daochang didn't understand.

Only now did he understand what his master's calculation a hundred years ago meant.

Li Chengyun retrieved the evil ghost into the bones, and carefully trained Yan Shixun to be a good enough exorcist.

But before the time came, Li Chengyun peeped into the sky to quell the disaster.

His little junior brother... also died alone in Baizhi Lake back then.

When he died, there were no relatives and friends around him, and no one to cry for him.

Only the way under your feet is always there.

Li Daochang stood silently on the spot, and slowly clenched his palms on the door into fists.

He thought that he had experienced more than a hundred years and was already used to life and death, but when the exorcist from the southwest mentioned the incident of Baizhi Lake back then, he realized that he had never forgotten the death of his youngest junior brother. .

"rest assured."

Li Daochang snorted: "Should I let the body of the martyr be exposed to the wilderness? Your master is a man of great merit. He guarded Baizhi Lake with his body for many years. Even if he searched the whole mountain, he would bring back his remains." .”

The Southwest exorcist thanked him again and again, crying uncontrollably.

The rest of the priests were also infected by him with a heavy heart.

They sighed and patted the young exorcist, but they knew very well in their hearts that Li Daochang's words were considered comforting.

All of them are very likely to die here, filling up the formation that was destroyed because the ebony statue was taken away, and trying their best to suppress or even drive away the evil spirits of the White Paper Lake.

No one can be distracted to pay attention to their own affairs.

And how can he bring back the remains of his master for this child.

Just seeing the weeping face of the southwest ghost exorcist, the priests still couldn't bear to show him the cruel reality.

They shook their heads and scattered to check the situation in the village.

"strangeness."

A Taoist priest turned his head to look at the calm Baizhi Lake not far behind him, then turned around and looked at the house in front of him again, muttering in confusion, "It's so humid, why is there no such thing as moss?"

Just looking at the environment, the house should be eroded by the perennial humidity.

But the houses here are just dusty and dilapidated. Not only do they not grow mosses that would grow in humid areas, even the wood is still intact.

This made the Taoist priest have a question in his mind——

Is this really the Bai village in reality?

And when Li Daochang pushed open the door of another house, when he raised his eyes, he met a pair of eyes in the darkness.

Human silhouettes loomed in the darkness.

As the door was pushed open, faint light shone in from the outside, coating the body of the human figure with a layer of light.

Li Daochang was caught off guard, and immediately saw what it was.

The man was sitting in the hall facing the gate. He was wearing outdated clothes, with one hand on the table and sitting on a chair. His wrinkled face was full of vicissitudes.

But if you look closely, you will find that this is not a human being at all.

It is a very beautifully crafted wooden puppet.

The craftsman was so meticulous that he didn't let go of every wrinkle. The carving knife accurately portrayed the appearance of the person being used as a model. It was almost exactly the same as the person. Even if it was taken as the person, there was no problem.

Li Daochang was not frightened, his eyes fell and landed on the wooden carving's clothes.

This style of the last century, coupled with the massacre that happened in the Bai village itself...

Is it a puppet with a living mouth and eyes carved out according to the appearance of the villagers back then?

Sure enough, they found the right place.

Li Daochang thought about this, and saw the wooden sculpture looking straight into his eyes, and suddenly rolled, with a strange sense of vividness.

It was like a corpse sitting up straight in a morgue and saying he was alive.

The woodcarving's mouth made a slight "click" sound, and then, its mouth opened an arc that reached to the base of the ears, with a stiff and malicious smile.

"welcome……"

The voice came out of the wood carving's mouth, hoarse and unpleasant, like a broken gong.

It seemed to be adapting to this body, and it took a long time to find its own vocal cords, from the initial stumbling to being able to speak smoothly.

"Welcome, come to Baijia Village as a guest."

The woodcarving grinned and said slowly, "You're here, don't leave."

At the same time, a warning sound came from the village behind Li Daochang.

The exclamations and reminders of the priests came one after another.

"I saw a wood carving with a living mouth and living eyes!"

"Me too, everyone be careful!"

"The carpenter back then probably carved the villagers of the entire village, and everyone was besieged carefully."

"It's also in my house here!"

"Is this the fate of ghosts in power..."

A Taoist priest looked at the wood carving that was rushing towards him, and murmured: "Ghosts are people, but people are ghosts. The ghost exorcists and priests are all street rats."

But when the wood carving approached him, he still instinctively raised his sword to fight back, and when he swung at the wood carving, his eyes never wavered.

The sound of the wood hitting was mixed in the words of the priests, breaking the silence of the village.

Households seemed to be woken up.

Lights were turned on in the house, and shadows of figures were cast on the windows.

But every household opened the door and came out, all of which were similar to the ones that the Taoist priests had encountered.

There are also many wooden dolls who sat up from the bed boards in the house.

All behaviors are no different from strangers.

They were wearing the clothes of the former villagers, as if they were the villagers themselves.

Worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, sleeping soundly at home, but was awakened by the noise outside, so I went out to check.

And those priests outside were the villains who broke into the village and broke the peace.

Seeing such a scene, the priests couldn't help but froze in place in astonishment, looking around in disbelief.

For a moment, they even forgot their identities in a trance.

Are they really the Taoist masters of Haiyun Temple, who have practiced for decades to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, and keep the world safe?

Or, are they actually evil ghosts, who just forgot that they had already died, and were blinded by false memories, and over time, even they themselves forgot the truth?

Daoist only felt the pain in his scalp like a pinprick, he quickly raised his hands to support his head, but in front of his eyes was an upside-down chaos, and he couldn't find a point to stabilize his figure.

The rest of the people also showed similar symptoms one after another. Some priests even felt burning and stinging in the hand holding the mahogany sword. resulting pattern.

The Taoist priest looked at the palm of his hand, shocked and confused.

He is... For ghosts, Taoists are the evil ghosts that should be killed!

All the spells they have learned in the past have all become methods to deal with themselves at this time, but they can't hurt the wood carving in front of them and the evil spirits in their eyes.

Li Daochang saw all this in his eyes, his eyes were gloomy, and his white beard fluttered.

……

"The door, why did the door open by itself!"

A cry of surprise caught everyone's attention.

Bai Shuang looked at the door slowly opening in front of her in shock, her finger pointing there trembled, and even her voice changed in fright.

Although everyone in the program team did not wait for Yan Shixun to come, they successfully met Daoist Ma, the king, and followed the two priests to find a village.

Although many houses here are dilapidated, some of them are still livable, so everyone tidied them up and used them as temporary shelters from wind and rain.

Everyone gathered in one place, ready to take a nap and rest for a while, and then set off again.

After all, everyone was shocked and tired. Although the logistics staff of the program group had food in their backpacks, they would not be hungry if they were in a hurry, but it was difficult to recover from mental exhaustion.

Ma Daochang saw that everyone was sluggish, so he decided to let everyone take a rest and adjust their condition before setting off.

The same goes for Hoarfrost.

She was lying on the bed to rest, but when she was half asleep and half awake, she suddenly felt in a daze that there was a cold wind blowing down her neck.

As a result, when she looked up, she found that the door of the house opened automatically, but no one came in or out.

But... Bai Shuang remembered very clearly that in order to prevent accidents for everyone, before letting everyone rest, Daoist Ma carefully checked the door lock and locked the door on purpose.

Nor should the wind have blown the door open.

Could it be that there is a ghost?

Bai Shuang was terrified.

Because of her exclamation, the rest of the people who had fallen asleep in a daze also rubbed their eyes and raised their heads, looking in the direction Bai Shuang pointed tremblingly.

"Huh? Did someone forget to close the door when they went out to use the bathroom?"

"It's so cold, Ah Chi!"
