Many ghosts did not want to pay attention to this little Taoist priest and returned to their own shady houses.

Only an old woman who looked more charitable came closer and asked about what happened in detail.

"There are no female ghosts living alone in our village!"

"Even if you had one, you wouldn't be able to go out to beg for food before the sun sets."

Zhang Muzhi was silent, and after thinking for a moment, he still couldn't figure it out.

"The Taoist priest should leave! Many villagers still have to go to work in the town to support their families, and the Taoist priest dare not go out when they are here!"

After the old woman finished speaking, she ignored Zhang Muzhi and walked tremblingly into a thatched house.

Zhang Muzhi had no choice but to walk out of the cemetery, turned back and looked again, what kind of ghosts were there?

I vaguely remember that member Han mentioned that this road should lead to Lijia Village, with a small river separating it from Taojia Village.

As Zhang Muzhi walked back along the path, he lowered his head and recalled the figure of the woman holding the bowl.

"Perhaps we can let those vixens find out something!"

Zhang Muzhi was running at full speed when he came here, but when he walked back, he really strayed a little far.

"Taoist Priest! Taoist Priest! Do you think I look like a human being?"

There is a fat yellow man on the roadside, wearing a broken straw hat and talking about people. I also thought that the Taoist priest might have some compassion and sealed it.

Finally, I still have some self-awareness, and I don’t dare to ask the Taoist priest about “does he look like a god?”

Zhang Muzhi sneered and scolded: "How courageous! Dare you ask for a title from a Taoist priest? Did you borrow my luck from me?"

Huang Pizi was so frightened that he threw down his straw hat and kowtowed.

"Why don't you go back and practice hard! If you dare to use this method to harm others again, I will give you a fate!"

Even if Huang Pizi thought with his toes, he could guess what fate the Taoist would give it, and he quickly ran away with his tail between his legs.

There is a faint smell of urine in the place.

Zhang Muzhi was too lazy to pay attention and continued walking for a short time when another voice came from behind.

"Little Taoist! Are you going to Taojia Village? Wait! The Nujia will go with you!"

The sound echoes in the cave, like the cry of a nightingale, which makes people feel itchy in their hearts.

Zhang Muzhi did not look back, but slowed down his pace.

"Little Taoist! Brother Taoist! If you go slower, I won't be able to keep up!" There was joy in the voice of the woman behind.

Zhang Muzhi simply stopped. The woman's voice came closer, and her charm became more obvious:

"Good brother! Please help me..."

Zhang Muzhi didn't look back, he just raised his left hand, and the Heavenly Master's Shaking Talisman that once suppressed the fox spirit flew out from his sleeve, and then turned and galloped away.

"Ah!" A high-pitched female voice shouted.

"Bang!" There was another sound of air exploding, and then there was no movement.

"This time I use magic power to control the talisman, but I don't have to use saliva anymore!"

Zhang Muzhi did not look back to see if the person killed by the magic talisman was an evil ghost or some other spirit, and then walked forward.

After a while, the herringbone fork in the road was already in sight.

A few golden lights flickered on the ground in front, which were especially conspicuous in the dark night.

When Zhang Muzhi got closer, he looked down and saw three or four golden bumps on the ground as big as dates.

"What kind of gold can dazzle like this at night?"

Stepping on it, there were a few "click!" sounds, the golden light on the ground dissipated, and the gold turned into broken dead bones.

"If it's real gold, I'll take it back to the Taoist temple and put it in the merit box, and ask you and Master Ling to touch it!"

Zhang Muzhi kept walking and continued walking forward, and soon he came to a fork in the road.

After turning around, I walked a few steps towards Taojia Village and found a small house about three feet high on the side of the road.

"When I went to town during the day, I only played with my children, but didn't pay attention to the Earth Temple!"

"I wonder if someone will come out if I shout?"

Zhang Muzhi thought to himself that he had not prepared any summoning talisman, nor did he intend to recite any spells, so he just shouted out with a try:

"Is the Lord of the Land here? If I have something to ask, please come out and answer me!"

Zhang Muzhi waited for a few breaths, but saw no movement. Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone talking:

"Slow down, Immortal! I'm late, little old man, atone for your sins! Atonement for your sins!"

I saw an old man with a white beard only knee high coming out of the temple, holding a cane and approaching.

"I wonder if the Immortal has anything to ask, but the little old man will surely tell you everything!"

This time, the God of the Earth appeared, and there was no need to use his Dharma Eyes.

Zhang Muzhi saw that the earth god had a kind face and polite words, so he knelt down to speak.

"May I ask the land god, why are there so many evil spirits harming people at night around here?"

Seeing Zhang Muzhi squatting down, the Earth God quickly clasped his fists and bowed before answering:

"Reporting to the Immortal, this is because the surrounding villages at the foot of Hengwang Mountain are too remote and the City God does not have enough troops to control them!"

Zhang Muzhi said, "I don't know if it's because he can't control it, or because he's lazy and doesn't care?"

The land god couldn't answer this, so he just raised his hand and said, "On weekdays, I rely on Immortal Xie's protection to protect the people here. In the future, I will also bother to take care of you!"

Zhang Muzhi nodded and asked: "I wonder what King Mingling is like?"

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang canonized the city god of the world, and Prime Minister Wen was granted the title of "Chengtianjianguosiminshengfuminglinglingwang". He was in charge of the city god of Nanjing and was in charge of the affairs of the city gods all over the world.

Later, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Guogong Xu Da, died of illness. Zhu Yuanzhang also named him "The Minister of Chengtian Jianguo and the Prosperity of the Ming Dynasty" and built the City God Temple at Juyongguan outside BJ City, which was built by Wei Guogong.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty had two capitals, the north and the south, and there were two capital gods in the north and south, both of whom were titled "King Mingling."

However, Wei Guogong Xu Da paid little attention to secular affairs and was only willing to manage the affairs of the underworld in BJ City. All the affairs of the city god in the world are still managed by the capital city of Nanjing, Prime Minister Wen.

Prime Minister Wen was so righteous and upright that his reputation lasted through the ages. Therefore, the gods of the city and underworld in various places still used to call him "Prime Minister Wen", and the Duke of Wei was called "King Mingling" to show the distinction.

The Earth God was slightly startled, and after thinking for a while, he realized that Zhang Muzhi was asking about the City God of Nanjing, and quickly replied: "Prime Minister Wen is in charge of all the city gods in the world. He is busy with affairs on weekdays, but he cannot take care of our small place!
p>

Zhang Muzhi also respected the integrity of Prime Minister Wen, and did not say any disrespectful words. He just said: "It seems that Prime Minister Wen is really too busy to notice mediocre people like Jiangning City God!"

When the land god heard Zhang Muzhi calling out his boss, he naturally did not dare to echo him and just pretended not to hear.

Just when Zhang Muzhi was about to ask about the woman holding the bowl again, he heard a young woman's voice coming from the Tutu Temple:

"Master! Why were you out for so long?"

The Earth God smiled awkwardly and said: "My wife called me, the little god said goodbye, don't blame the immortal!"

Zhang Muzhi had no choice but to wave his hand and let him leave.

The Earth God handed over his hand again, and then walked back to the Earth Temple.

Zhang Muzhi stood up and walked back. When he passed Taojia Village, he saw that every door was closed, and he didn't think he would go out at night.

This time, I didn’t encounter any evil spirits.

We passed the village all the way, crossed the fields, and then went up the hillside along the stone steps and returned to Laojun Temple.

Zhang Muzhi first bowed to Wang Lingguan and saluted: "Master Lingguan makes atonement. I have something in my hand. I will come back later to offer incense to you."

There are about a dozen incense sticks scattered in the incense burner in the Lingguan Hall. I wonder if the villager came here to worship the Lingguan.

The main hall is brightly lit.

Zhang Muzhi first put the purchased things back into the side room, then turned back to Lingguan Hall, silently recited Lingguan Baogao sincerely, and after offering incense, he came to the main hall to pay homage to the old master.

Fairy Changming appeared to meet her, and Zhang Muzhi described in detail what she had encountered along the way.

"As you said, the City God did have evil intentions towards you. Why did you kill him with one shot?"

In Fairy Changming's mind, what would be a big deal if the successor of the Heavenly Master in the future would kill a bunch of evil gods?

Zhang Muzhi had no choice but to say: "The city god didn't take action first. How could I kill him in vain if I kept the prohibition against killing?"

Taoist priests do not observe the precepts to restrain themselves, but as a means to cultivate their minds diligently. Changming Fairy could not say much, so she had to talk about the evil spirits encountered on the road.

"You said that the woman can appear and walk for a hundred days, so she must not be a ghost. It may be because her obsession has not been digested, and her soul still resides in the corpse. She is a thing that is neither alive nor dead."

"This is different from the zombies that rise due to the sun. They may not harm anyone. Just send those vixens to pay more attention!"

Zhang Muzhi nodded and took note.

"Any yellow-skinned man seeking a title or a female ghost's enchantment are not worth mentioning. Only the evil spirits who turn bones into gold to deceive people are somewhat worth mentioning."

Zhang Muzhi didn't take it seriously at first, but after listening to Fairy Changming's words, it seemed that she had something to hide, so she quickly asked in detail.

"If it is real gold and silver, it is usually buried with the deceased. After being picked up by others, the ghosts can follow the yin energy to harm people."
