Dingshan County, Xuezhu Town.

This town is located in the northwest of Dingshan County, quite close to Tonglin County. It is famous for the nearly 100-mile-wide snow bamboo on the Dingshan branch behind it.

In addition to farming and some service industries in the town, the rest are small and large workshops that use snow bamboo as raw materials.

On weekdays, Xuezhu Town is very lively, because the Xuezhu products in the town are easy to sell, and many merchants come to the town to purchase. If you want to make more money, you can go to the county or even the state capital to sell.

However, in recent days, the atmosphere in Xuezhu Town has obviously changed. Everyone has lost their smiles when they meet, as if there is a dark cloud weighing on people's hearts.

"Did anyone die yesterday?"

"I haven't heard any news yet."

"Has no one reported to the mayor?"

"have no idea."

Five days ago, a night care worker from Dazhufang died in the workshop. People in the town reported it to the county. In the end, the workers concluded that he died of natural causes.

So everyone didn't take it seriously, thinking that there was something wrong with him and died suddenly, so they did whatever they had to do.

But the next day, another caregiver from Li Ji Zhufang died, and everyone felt that something was wrong.

Reported to the county again, the government officials took the old man to check again, and came to the same conclusion as before.

Not to mention that the people in the town didn't believe it, even the government officials and the policemen didn't believe the conclusion they came to, so they reported the matter decisively.

However, it takes time for things to be reported to higher authorities, so the people of Xuezhu Town can only wait.

So, on the third and fourth days, two more ordinary people died unexpectedly.

This is the fifth day now.

But now it is the afternoon of the fifth day, and no one has reported it.

"Didn't anyone die today?"

As a result, as soon as this question arose, a town citizen trotted over in a panic from afar, "Coming! Coming!"

"Who! Who is dead?"

"No, not one, but two. Li Dahe and his wife did not work all day today, and were found dead at home in the afternoon."

"two!"

"Oh my God!"

"The more we die, the more we die!"

"what to do!?"

"No, I don't know. Why hasn't the imperial court sent someone over?"

"Several elders from the town have gone to the Xuanhe Temple in the east of the county. I heard that the Taoist priest in the temple has magical powers and can cast down demons!"

"Really! Then when can they come over?"

While several people were discussing with each other in panic, two Taoist priests had already arrived not far outside Xuezhu Town.

"Senior Brother Yuanjing, I will trouble you again this time regarding Xuezhu Town."

"Everywhere, slaying demons and subjugating demons, saving the world and saving people, this is our duty as people in this world."

Of these two Taoist priests, one looks to be less than thirty years old and is wearing the blue Taoist robe of Baiyun Temple. It is Yuan Jing.

There is also a younger one, wearing a black and blue Taoist robe with a black black crane woven on the sleeve. He is the direct disciple of the current master of Xuanhe Temple, Taoist Linghe.

Xuanhe Temple is just a small Taoist temple, with a few people refining talismans to save people and reciting incantations to exorcise ghosts.

However, it is only limited to ordinary foreign objects that are not serious. If you encounter a serious foreign object, you have to go to Yizhou Mansion to seek help from those Taoist temples.

Of course, in recent decades, I have also gone to Tonglin County to seek support from Baiyunguan. For example, Yuan Jing has come to Dingshan County for support several times.

But this time it was different. This time it was Yuan Jing who found Xuanhe Temple first. She was about to ask if there was any news about anyone who had been weak or died due to being sucked in yang energy. Someone from Xuezhu Town came to burn incense and ask for help.

Already.

So Yuan Jing didn't waste any time, left behind the slow-moving people of Xuezhu Town, and hurried over on her own.

Of course, Xuanhe Temple could not pretend that they had not seen this, not to mention that those people actually came to beg them, so the master of Xuanhe Temple immediately sent his chief disciple, Taoist Linghe, to follow and help.

The two of them traveled all the way and arrived at the boundary of Xuezhu Town at midnight on the fifth day. They stepped into Xuezhu Town before the afterglow completely set.

The two walked two steps along the street in the center of the town. Linghe asked worriedly, "It's getting dark. I don't know when the ghost will come out?"

Yuan Jing looked at the sky, then looked around, pointing to the square five-story building in the center of the town, "Let's go to that restaurant and take a look. If there is a ghost, we should be able to find clues."

Linghe followed Yuan Jing's fingers and looked over, his expression stagnant.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Jing noticed something was wrong with Linghe.

Linghe Qiqi Ai Ai said, "That, that is the largest brothel in Xuezhu Town."

Yuan Jing, "..."

Why is the largest building in a town a brothel? The largest building in Tonglin County is also Mingyue Tower instead of Chunfeng Tower!

Yuan Jing sighed, "It doesn't matter, let's not go in and go directly to the roof."

Linghe nodded repeatedly, "That's no problem."

It was already the end of Youshi, the sky was already half dark, the sun had already set, and the entire Xuezhu Town had been engulfed in darkness. Pedestrians on the street had already gone home one after another, and the streets were extremely cold.

Not just on the street...

"Is this a brothel?"

Yuan Jing came to the building and looked up at the upper floors. Only a few rooms were lit with dim lights. Most of the other rooms, including the halls on the first and second floors, were all pitch black.

Linghe blinked, "Maybe it's because people have been dying every day lately."

Everyone is hiding at home, not daring to come out at all.

But in the face of this foreign object, just hiding at home, isn't it deceiving yourself and others?

"Go! Get up!"

Yuan Jing gently cheered up and jumped onto the second floor of the building. Then, her body was flying like catkins, and she climbed up to the roof of the building.

Of course, Linghe was far behind Yuan Jing, but this kind of climbing over eaves and walls was not a problem for him. It only took him a moment to reach the roof.

It's just that he made a little noise, which caused a few exclamations from the room in the building, and then a low-pitched gasp.

Linghe glanced at Yuan Jing with some embarrassment, but Yuan Jing didn't look at him, and looked carefully around the town.

Linghe also straightened his expression, looked around, and asked carefully, "Can we find that ghost?"

Yuan Jing shook her head, "I don't know."

If the opponent is not weak, his aura will not be leaked, and naturally they will not be able to sense it.

Yuan Jing stood in the center of the town, not only sensing the breath, but also hoping to see the other person.

…

Time passed bit by bit.

Just when Haishi was about to pass and Zishi was about to arrive, a wave of mana suddenly erupted in the east of the town.

"Someone does it!"

Just as Linghe said something, he noticed that Yuan Jing had already flown past.

"Senior brother, wait for me!"

Linghe hurriedly followed.

Yuan Jing flew downstairs. The white clouds under her feet lifted her up and flew quickly over the rooftops of the town. She soon arrived at the scene.

In the small courtyard, a ghost dressed in white with disheveled hair was surrounded in the middle, and three women wearing pink peach-patterned spring cloud brocade skirts were surrounding, either holding troops or making seals.

In just a few rounds, the three women killed the ghost cleanly.
