On a desolate mountain road, a young man was walking down the mountain road. Although it was against the wind, he still walked as fast as he could. Just like a Jianghu man who had practiced the method of lightening his body, he jumped at least four to five feet away in three or two steps.
.
This young man looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. He was wearing a set of white-washed Taoist robes and carrying a small baggage. Even if he was walking on a rugged mountain road, he would still feel as if he were walking on flat ground, with no trace of his body shape.
Shake.
His name is Ji Yuan. He is a registered Taoist priest from the Dayu Dynasty in Shuiyunzhou. He studied under the Xuantian Temple in Qianyu City, Luoxia County. He was returning from doing several rituals during this trip.
When the sun set in the west, he stopped and looked up at the sky, with a look of helplessness on his face.
He estimated that with his own foot strength, he would definitely not be able to rush back to Qianyu City before the curfew tonight, so Ji Yuan slowed down and finally had time to enjoy the scenery along the way.
It's just for enjoying the scenery, but it's already dusk in this barren mountain and wild ridge, so there's no beautiful scenery to enjoy, it's mostly just a casual glance.
Most of the time, Ji Yuan was still thinking about what he had seen and heard during this trip and what he had gained.
Not to mention those rituals to ward off evil spirits and catch ghosts, the process was uneventful, and the money he received was not satisfactory. Perhaps because he was single and young, the employer gave him much less than originally promised.
On the contrary, a few bottles of elixirs that I refined and the talisman seals I drew in the past two months were sold for a very good price in that small town more than a hundred miles away, which was a full 20% more than what was sold in Qianyu City.
The price is premium, but the trip is not in vain.
"Eh? What a heavy yin energy!"
Just after walking for more than a mile, Ji Yuan stopped and looked at the mountains in the distance with a slight frown.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, wisps of gray-white Yin Qi rise from the earth, not afraid of the remaining sunlight between heaven and earth, entrenched on a hillside between the mountains.
As the sky grew darker, these negative energies even stirred up gusts of breeze, causing the vegetation on the hillside to sway. Finally, after the sun completely set, a layer of gray-white mist filled the hillside.
After observing it from a distance for a moment, Ji Yuan was able to determine that there must be evil spirits breeding here, otherwise such a scene would never be possible. Not only is the Yin Qi not afraid of the afterglow of the setting sun, but it also seems to contain a little bit of spirituality. When gathered, it becomes wind, and when condensed, it becomes fog.
.
But after all, the distance was too far, and the Yin Qi mist began to gather, so he couldn't see clearly the scenery on the hillside. He could only vaguely see a bamboo forest, which seemed to have a few houses.
Having been hunting ghosts and exorcising evil spirits for many years, he immediately realized the seriousness and hurriedly took out a map of Qianyu City with a radius of 300 miles from the small baggage on his body.
Ji Yuan's eyes hurriedly scanned the map, and he quickly found his location. At the same time, based on the direction and other evidence, his eyes finally landed on a place called 'Luohun Slope'.
This place was inspected by the Dayu Dynasty and determined to be a place where the Yin Qi of heaven and earth gathered. It was surrounded by mountains and mountains. Only one side could be illuminated by the afterglow at sunset, suppressing the excessive Yin Qi in it.
Although it is easy for evil spirits to appear when Yin Qi grows, if it is handled properly, it will be a treasured place for cultivation. For Qi practitioners who practice Taiyin in the extreme cold, it can be regarded as a blessed place that can only be encountered.
Ji Yuan remembered that there was a cultivation sect here. Although it was not a big sect, it was somewhat famous near Qianyu City. Its ancestor had made great contributions to the Dayu Dynasty, so he was able to open it here.
Zongli sect.
Just looking at the current scene, I'm afraid something has happened to the sect. The hillside filled with Yin Qi has obviously bred evil spirits. Otherwise, the Yin Qi here would not be afraid of the afterglow of the setting sun.
After weighing the pros and cons, he put away the map in his hand, walked along the mountain road for two or three miles, and finally appeared on the path outside Luohun Slope.
Ji Yuan carefully looked at the Yin energy rising from under the earth in front of him, and his face gradually became gloomy.
Yang Qi rises and Yin Qi sinks between heaven and earth. This is an eternal truth. However, the Yin Qi on the hillside in front of us rises like Yang Qi. Not only does it break away from the shackles of the earth, it even gathers into a thick
of fog.
He casually took out a 'Yin Wind Finding Object Talisman' and threw it into the air in front of him. As a little bit of essence was poured into it, the yellow paper talisman silently turned into tiny fragments, and a cloud of evil wind emerged out of thin air, rolling the talisman around.
The fragments blew away into the gray-white mist.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan frowned slightly. The 'Yinfeng Object Finding Talisman' itself was not worth much. One tael of silver could buy three or four of them. It would be even cheaper if he drew it himself.
This talisman has only one effect, which is to use a bit of Yin Qi contained in the talisman to turn it into a vague cloud of wind, which can trace the surrounding breath that is not easily discovered and find hidden evil ghosts and so on.
If the evil wind hovers in place for several times and then slowly dissipates, it can prove that there is no evil spirit around, otherwise it means that there are evil spirits entrenched around.
But the current situation could not be clearer. There must be evil ghosts in the Soul-Lost Slope in front of us, and there must be more than one or two. Otherwise, with the Yinfeng Seeking Talisman's sensing distance of less than ten feet, it would be impossible to give birth to something.
What a reaction.
"It's better to return to Qianyu City quickly and inform the county government of this matter."
After staring at the gray-white fog in front of him for a long time, Ji Yuan slowly withdrew his gaze, and then murmured to himself. Although he had the idea of going in to find out what was going on, he still suppressed his thought.
The current situation has become very obvious. The practice sect that established the sect here must have experienced some changes, causing the suppressed Yin Qi here to lose control and even be occupied by the birth of evil ghosts.
Looking at the situation here, I am afraid that the evil spirits in the fog have become the norm. Even the sect that practices here is probably in danger. Once he steps into it alone, let alone detecting the truth, he will not even be able to leave safely.
It's all a problem.
At that time, it will be difficult to tell whether it was him who wielded the sword to slay demons, or whether he became the meal of the evil spirits here and was devoured of his own flesh, blood, and soul.
You must know that for such evil ghosts that breed in Yin Qi, the flesh and blood of ordinary mortals is already a rare delicacy, let alone a Qi Practitioner who contains a body of essence. Not only does it taste excellent, but it can also increase one's own cultivation.
.
After making the decision, Ji Yuan turned around and left very simply. However, when leaving, a figure could not help but appear in his mind. It was a young Taoist priest who was several years older than him, and he was a member of the practicing sect here.
Disciple.
I wonder if the young Taoist priest can safely escape the changes here and not be treated as a delicacy by the evil spirits.
With this thought in mind, he shook his head vigorously a few times to temporarily suppress the messy thoughts in his heart. At this time, with a little moonlight, as a Qi practitioner, he did not need the fire to illuminate the way, and he lifted himself up and flew over the mountain.
On the small road, we have walked seven or eight miles in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, Ji Yuan stopped. Wherever he looked, a group of five people were walking quickly towards his direction. There was a flash of fire floating in the air and swaying in front of them. This chapter has been completed!
