It was already dark, and the city gates of Jiangshan Prefecture had long been closed. No one could come in or out at will anymore, but for Jiangshan Prefecture's famous Shen Captou, it was not affected at all.
He was seen scolding the soldiers guarding the city gate twice, and the soldiers immediately opened the city gate with an apologetic smile on their faces. Then Capt. Shen led two detectives and walked out of the city.
But what no one noticed was that behind the three people, there were two teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old following them. Their figures were as graceful as ghosts, and their light footsteps made no sound as they stepped on the house.
It was He Zuo and He Li.
The two of them followed Shen Captou all the way out of the state city and onto the dirt road in the wild. They used the trees on the roadside as cover and followed the three of them closely.
"He Li, do you have an [Exorcist Talisman] with you?" He Zuo whispered excitedly.
He Li shook his head and said calmly: "No."
"No? Then how do we subdue the demon?" He Zuo was a little surprised.
"It's just a ghost, why do you need to use a talisman? Don't you have a magic weapon in your hand? This is no more powerful than a talisman?" He Li sneered.
He Zuo hesitated and said: "But...but I can't even use a sword! There is a magic weapon but it's useless..."
"Humph, then just watch. If there are any ghosts, leave it to me!"
"No!" He Zuo shook his head and refused, "Last time you and your senior brother went out to fight, but I could only stay in the yard by myself. Now I must perform well!"
Hearing this, He Li couldn't help but think of the tragic war scene in Liuyunfang that day. In those two days, she saw with her own eyes that dozens of monks died without their bodies intact. Thinking of this, she paused and murmured Said: "I would rather stay in the yard..."
"Huh?" He Zuo suddenly asked a question, looked ahead, and said in surprise: "Why did they look back?"
He Li took a closer look and immediately cursed: "Idiot! They are suspicious, hide quickly!"
The two people moved hurriedly, stepped lightly, and flew lightly to the top of the tree, disappearing among the many leaves.
...
"Have you found anyone? Headhunting?" A middle-aged policeman with a goatee asked warily.
Shen Captou shook his head as he returned

He raised his head and said doubtfully: "Damn it, am I really feeling wrong? I clearly heard someone talking behind me just now!"
A slightly younger young police officer glanced at the dark road behind him and couldn't help but shuddered and said in a trembling voice: "The arrester...isn't there really a ghost?"
"Fuck you! How can there be a ghost! Even if there is one, I am so masculine, I don't believe it dares to get close to me!" Shen Captou yelled angrily.
The goateeed detective on the side also laughed and said: "Captain Shen is right, and I have just left the city now, and I have never heard that this place is haunted. Ah Ma, don't make a fuss. No matter how scared you are when you go to the Soul Resurrection Forest, it's still too late, haha ..."
"Brother Liu, aren't you scared?" a young agent named Ah Man asked in a low voice to the agent with a goatee.
"There's nothing to be afraid of! Haven't we been to the Resurrection Forest many times? We've never seen anything wrong!" Brother Liu smiled heartily.
"But..." Ah Ma hesitated and said, "But we came here during the day before, and now we go at night..."
"Okay! Stop talking nonsense! You are as timid as a mouse, what use are you! Leave quickly!" Shen Captou interrupted loudly and walked forward.
After hearing the admonishment, Ah Ma's face turned red instantly. He wanted to refute but did not dare to say anything, and stood there with evasive eyes.
Brother Liu stepped forward and patted Ah Man on the shoulder, smiling and saying, "Let's go, let's go!"
The three of them walked towards the darkness.
...
The Resurrection Forest is located northwest of Jiangshan Prefecture City. Originally, this place was not called this name, but was just an unnamed hilltop. However, when the Fengqing Sect monks encountered this hilltop, they discovered that there were many Resurrection Grasses here, and they added
There were many bamboo forests nearby, so the place was renamed the Resurrection Forest.
The Resurrection Grass is only the lowest medicinal herb in the world of cultivation. It can only be used to prepare the [Revival Pill] and is of little use. However, this thing is a rare treasure in the world. After the guidance of an expert, Jiangshan Prefecture City Lord General
Resurrection incense is made into incense and sold everywhere.
From then on, merchants from all over the country rushed to buy it, and even nobles from various big cities and towns were full of praise for this fragrance. After years of development, Jiangshan Prefecture has become as prosperous as it is today.
But in the past half month, according to the workers in the city who are responsible for collecting the resurrecting grass, there have been frequent incidents of ghosts and injuries in the resurrecting forest for unknown reasons. Now no one dares to rely on it anymore.

Recently, the people in the city are even more worried and dare not sleep...
The three policemen walked quickly and after half an hour, they finally arrived at the Forest of Returning Souls.
As night falls, there is no light in the bamboo forest. The breeze blows the bamboos, colliding with each other and making strange sounds, which makes people feel nervous.
"Captain Shen, where should we go to investigate?" Brother Goatee Liu stepped forward and asked.
"Hmph!" Shen Baotou snorted coldly, pointed to the east direction, and said: "Didn't those people all say they encountered ghosts on that bamboo leaf? Then let's go there and have a look!"
After saying that, Shen Captou suddenly pulled out the horizontal knife, and the sharp blade glowed coldly under the weak light of the moonlight.
"laugh!"
Shen Daotou cut away the bamboo blocking the road with his sword, and then strode forward.
The two policemen behind him also followed suit, drew their swords and followed closely.
But the moment they stepped into the bamboo forest, a strong wind came out of thin air and blew the bamboo leaves on the ground flying everywhere.
"Woooo..."
There seems to be a strange sound among the bamboo leaves, like a deep voice howling deep in the bamboo leaves, which is very penetrating...
Seeing such an abnormal sight, Shen Captou shouted loudly: "What a monster! Do you dare to come out and fight me!"
The response among the bamboo leaves was silence, but the howling sounds that continued to sound were frightening.
"Capture...capture the head, this...isn't right..." Ah Ma stammered, looking around nervously, and even the hand holding the knife was trembling.
Capt. Shen looked around the scene, gritted his teeth, thrust the horizontal knife into the ground, stood on the ground, then sat down and shouted: "I am waiting for you here, no matter what kind of monster it is! Yes!"
Come and take my life if you can!"
Upon seeing this, Brother Liu and Ah Man hurriedly walked to and stood next to Mr. Shen. The three of them formed a circle and watched the bamboos floating randomly.
Just when the three of them were on tenterhooks, a transparent figure suddenly floated out of the bamboo forest leaves. His face was pale, his eyes were deeply sunken, and his eyeballs were gone. There was no tooth in his mouth, and his mouth opened and opened, looking empty and weak.
