The room was filled with strong winds and plunged into darkness. He Bucai and Su Rou were so frightened that they screamed in horror. They felt that the wind had penetrated into their bones and their bodies were about to be torn apart.
But the next moment their dark vision lit up again, and they saw golden spell chains flying out from Zhang Xiaozu's palms, and then spiraling around their bodies, instantly dispelling the coldness that penetrated their bodies.
Make them feel as warm as spring.
"Brother, forget it, take a step back and the world will be brighter." He Bucai murmured. He, a scholar, had never dealt with ghosts before, and he was really frightened when he heard that ghosts claimed to have been cultivating for more than three hundred years.
But Zhang Xiaozu ignored him.
Influenced by Taoist Tianwu and Taoist Qinglian, Zhang Xiaozu did not have much tolerance for ghosts.
What's more, he found out that he had been deceived by this ghost in the ground. This was not a good person at all. At this time, his viciousness was revealed, and he was full of hostility. He didn't know how many wronged souls were tainted in him.
Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"A mere lone ghost dares to play tricks in front of this Taoist master! You are so violent and have killed so many people. I will destroy your soul!"
Zhang Xiaopeng's beard and hair are spread out, his eyes are wide open with anger, Tao energy is surging around his body, his clothes and sleeves are fluttering, and there is a hunting sound.
With his current Taoist behavior and the help of ghost eyes, he is not afraid even if the black and white impermanence comes.
Even if the Ghost King comes in person, he can fight a few moves against the Ghost King at the cost of getting his Ghost Eyes injured again.
So how could he be afraid of a wild ghost in the world?
"Ignorant child, look at me swallowing your Taoist soul and destroying your body and soul!" The ghost refused to give in and instead clamored to swallow Zhang Xiaopeng's Taoist soul, which shows that it is very confident in its own strength.
"snort!"
Zhang Xiaozu snorted coldly, made seals with his hands, and muttered something in his mouth.
Immediately he glared angrily, knelt down and slapped his palms on the ground. Golden light flowed out from his palms, instantly forming a huge talisman that covered the entire ground.
At the same time, runic chains penetrated into the ground and intertwined vertically and horizontally, forming a large network.
Woo
The dark wind howled sharply, accompanied by the shrill cries of ghosts.
A green-faced fang, a hideous and terrifying ghost face emerged from the ground and hit the golden talisman covering the ground, trying to break through the golden talisman's blockage.
But the golden talisman's light circulated and shot out golden talisman lightsabers, killing the terrifying ghost faces that came up one by one.
He Bucai and Su Rou had never seen such a battle before. Their faces turned pale with fright and their calves were spinning.
"die!"
The ferocious ghost's ferocious nature was revealed, and a sharp black claw clawed it up from the ground, but before it could show off its ferocity, it was bound by a rune chain.
"receive!"
Zhang Xiaozu roared angrily, and the large network of rune chains suddenly closed in, locking the evil ghosts hiding underground layer by layer.
"ah"
Li Gui was locked by the rune chain, and green smoke suddenly appeared from his body, as if he had been burned by a red-hot iron, and he let out a shrill scream.
Only then did it realize how powerful Zhang Xiaopou was.
Although it has been practicing for a long time, it is just a lonely wild ghost. It has no cultivation method, its cultivation speed is extremely slow, and it has no powerful magic moves. It is more than enough to deal with ordinary people or ordinary cultivators. But if it encounters Zhang Xiaozu,
A Taoist master who cultivates the power of nature to conquer ghosts and has profound Taoist practices seems to be doing his own thing and not overestimating his abilities.
"Master Tao, spare my life!"
Li Gui realized that he was far from Zhang Xiaopou's opponent, and immediately cried out for mercy.
Zhang Xiaozhu ignored him, grabbed the rune chain with both hands, stood up, yanked it hard, and shouted: "Get out of here, my Taoist master!"
The evil ghost was bound with rune chains and pulled out from the ground with a sound.
The fierce ghost has shaggy hair and a red face, a long tongue and fangs, and is covered in black energy. He is bound by rune chains and burned by Taoism. His whole body is covered in green smoke. He is struggling violently and screaming for mercy.
He Bucai and Su Rou were so frightened that their breathing stopped.
When I think about the fact that I have been living with such a fierce ghost for the past fourteen years, I feel horrified and my scalp is about to explode.
They didn't dare to think about whether this evil ghost had come out of the ground while they were sleeping, and had it stood in front of the bed and stared at their throats?
But when I think about how I have been alive and well all these years, I feel terrified and at the same time secretly grateful that I am still alive.
"Master Dao, please spare your life, I will never dare to do it again!"
"Leave now, little one, thousands of miles away, and never dare to come back again!"
Li Gui plopped down on his knees in front of Zhang Xiaopeng, kowtowing desperately and begging for mercy.
Zhang Xiaozhu's expression was stern, his eyes were as cold as lightning, and he remained unmoved.
Master Tianwu once specifically warned him not to believe lies.
Zhang Xiaozu raised his palm, condensed the power of the talisman into his palm, and slapped it towards Li Gui.
Snapped!
The fierce ghost couldn't dodge, so he was swatted away by Zhang Xiaopeng and turned into blue smoke.
With one move, Zhang Xiaozu took a ball of dark ghost power from the green smoke into his hand. Then, under the horrified gazes of He Bucai and Su Rou, he brought the ghost power to his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
The pure ghost power spreads out in the body, most of it is absorbed by the ghost pupils, and a small part flows into the air valve and is transformed into his own ghost power.
"Sir, this ghost can cultivate its ghost power to such a pure level despite not knowing how to cultivate it. Ling'er guesses that there is probably something pure Yin buried underground."
The voice of the weapon spirit sounded in Zhang Xiaozu's mind.
Guiling is the name given to her by Zhang Xiaozu.
"No wonder this guy doesn't want to move." Zhang Xiaozu suddenly realized. He heard the hope in the ghost's tone, and seemed to be very greedy for the treasures that might be buried underground, so he asked: "Will pure yin be of great benefit to ghost pupils?"
"Yes, it can enhance the power of ghost eyes. If it is a high-grade pure yin thing, its effect is not weaker than the ghost power of the ghost king." Ghost Spirit replied.
Zhang Xiaozhu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he asked: "Do you have a way to take it out?"
The ghost pupil is a treasure that he relies on, and it can enhance the power of the ghost pupil. Naturally, he doesn't want to let it go.
"We won't know until we go down and check, but it shouldn't be easy to take away, otherwise this ghost won't stay here for a long time and refuse to leave." The ghost analyzed.
"I'll find a way to send you down," Zhang Xiaozu said.
"No need, Ling'er can go down by himself." Guiling said.
After saying that, she came out of the ghost pupil, followed Zhang Xiaozu's body in her energy form, and finally left Zhang Xiaozu's body and sank into the ground.
This was the first time the ghost left after being subdued by Zhang Xiaozu. Zhang Xiaozu had a very strange feeling. He felt that no matter how far away the ghost was, he could sense its precise location.
"Brother Xian, are there any other troubles?"
He Bucai waited for a long time but saw no movement from Zhang Xiaopou, and finally couldn't help but ask.
He and Su Rou have been deeply shocked by Zhang Xiaozu's powerful ability, especially the scene where Zhang Xiaozu swallowed the ghost power alive, which shocked their hearts and made them unforgettable in a short time.
"Gone."
"I have eliminated the little devil, so there is no need to find anyone else to do it."
Zhang Xiaozu replied.
He Bucai and Su Rou looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes the firm intention to move.
The happy cheers of the ghosts rang out in Zhang Xiaozu's mind: "Sir, there is a Yin spring hidden underground here. There must be Yin marrow deep in the Yin spring. If I can find three drops of Yin marrow, I can transform my body again."
The fragmentation of the ghost pupils previously severely damaged the ghost spirit's vitality, making it impossible for her to transform into a human body and leave Zhang Xiaozu's body, so when she saw the treasure that could help her transform into a human body again, she couldn't help but be happy.
"What can I help you with?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked.
"Young master, as long as you don't leave Ling'er too far, it will be fine. It will take a few days for Ling'er to refine the Yin marrow." Ghost replied.
Zhou Jianlai and the other eight people were drinking tea in the living room of the front yard and did not notice the brief battle in the backyard.
When He Bucai regained his composure and returned to the living room with Zhang Xiaopou, night had quietly arrived.
After three rounds of drinking, Su Rou came to the front yard wearing a princess formal dress, drank tea instead of wine, and toasted one glass of wine to Zhang Xiaozu and three more to Zhang Xiaozu to express her sincere gratitude to Zhang Xiaozu.
Zhou Jianlai and the other eight people were surprised. They were curious about what Zhang Xiaopou did after he left with He Bucai to make the princess favor him so much.
But if He Bucai and Zhang Xiaozu didn't tell them, it would be hard for them to ask.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Huge and gorgeous fireworks exploded in the sky, lighting up the entire sky of Shepherd City.
Zhang Xiaozu and others came out after hearing the sound and marveled at the brilliant fireworks that continued to bloom in the sky.
crackling
Then the entire Shepherd City erupted with loud firecrackers.
"Is today a festival?" Niu Dawa asked curiously, looking at the fireworks in the sky and listening to the deafening sound of firecrackers.
Su Rou responded: "These fireworks and firecrackers are probably set off for the four young masters. The four young masters brought down the dark sky in Shepherd City, allowing the people to take a breath of air and see new hope."
Zhang Xiaozu and the other four were startled when they heard this, and then slowly raised the corners of their mouths. Doing good deeds always makes people feel happy.
Bi Shuang and the five people were filled with envy.
He Bucai looked at the fireworks in the sky and said righteously: "The evil of some people can never cover up the dazzling glory of the empire!"
The prince and all the princes and princesses were so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs, their lips were all cracked by thirst, their eye sockets were sunken, their eyes were in a trance, and they were about to faint from hunger.
The fifteenth prince Su Zheng and the ninth princess Suning fainted from hunger yesterday.
For ten days, food and water were restricted. Everyone could only eat half an meter or two of water a day and drink a sip of water. The princes and princesses who had been well-fed and well-dressed since childhood had never suffered such abuse. They all complained, but no one dared to disobey Su Hanlin.
The order, just because Su Hanlin said, anyone who dares to cheat will be expelled from the imperial capital.
For the princes and princesses, being expelled from the imperial capital is equivalent to losing their holy favor. Being away from the top power and interest groups of the empire is equivalent to being sent to another place. Without the emperor's summons, they are not allowed to return to the imperial capital even during the holidays.
.
Prince Su Hui's eyes were filled with darkness. He had hardly eaten in the past ten days. All his food was given to other princes and princesses because he felt guilty and felt that he had harmed these younger brothers and sisters.
Fortunately, I finally made it through the ten days of starvation.
He has sent Dongrong, his personal eunuch, to get food. The fragrant food and sweet water will be delivered soon, and their hard days will be over.
"Your Highness"
A shrill wail came from outside the palace door, and then the eunuch Dongrong ran in crying and crawling on the ground.
Seeing Dong Rong's embarrassed appearance, Su Hui's heart skipped a beat and knew something was wrong.
"What happened?!"
Su Hui took a deep breath, stood up and asked.
"Your Highness, the meal was robbed by a group of people on the way!" Eunuch Dongrong knelt in front of Su Hui and cried, wiping his tears.
"Dry!"
"Who did this? I want to kill his whole family!"
"Fuck his eighteenth generation ancestors!"
The princes and princesses who had been sitting around the table early in the morning, swallowing their saliva and waiting for a full meal, heard the eunuch Dongrong's words, and their eyes all shot out murderous rays. Even the usually most dignified and elegant princess slapped the table and exploded.
Bad language.
"Your Highnesses, it was the eldest princess Tianxi who ordered someone to snatch it." The eunuch Dongrong replied, chewing the flower seeds.
