The village here is located on the private land of the Lin family, which was rebuilt after the forest members returned home. The main house of the Lin family is in the middle, and the tenants who rent the land from the Lin family live around it.
Because the entire village was rebuilt and deliberately designed by Lin Yuanwai, it is quite unique, elegant and full of ancient charm.
Lin Qingze pretended that he was a casual cultivator, traveling around and enlightening, and happened to pass by here to seek shelter.
This member Lin was someone who had seen the world in Wangtian City. He saw that although Lin Qing was young, he was elegant and majestic. He must have concealed his identity as a child of a cultivation family, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Lin and
I have the same surname, and I happened to come to stay in this humble house. It was fate. I should have kept you here for a few days and had a good talk, but now the house is uneasy and the neighbors are uneasy. I am afraid that this distinguished guest will be exposed to bad luck!"
When he first entered the village, Lin Qingbian felt that the place was filled with evil spirits, and there were signs of evil spirits entrenched here. After approaching the main house of the Lin family, he clearly felt a strong sense of hostility and hostility.
When the resentment came, I became a little curious and wanted to see what was going on here.
After meeting this Lin member, Lin Qing saw that he had a rich face and a gentle demeanor. He did not look like a person who did evil in any way. Moreover, he had the same surname, so he decided to help him out of this disaster, and said loudly:
"Haha, I'm a Taoist, so why can't I see the weirdness here? Since Lin Yuanwai has spoken about fate, I can't stay out of it. Please make it clear!"
How could Yuan Lin not want someone to help? He just saw that Lin Qing was young and didn't know the depth of this young man's skills, so he didn't dare to speak casually. Now that Lin Qing took the initiative to ask questions, he sighed and started talking.
A month ago, a villager in the main house of the Lin family suddenly died suddenly at night. The strangest thing was that he could only see bleeding from his seven orifices and a horrifying expression, but there were no wounds on his body, and the cause of his death could not be found.
Every night after that, one or two people died in the village, and they all died in the same way as the village man, and no reason for death could be found.
Lin Yuan, a scholar who was well-read in poetry, felt that this incident was mysterious and unusual, and that it was quite similar to the evil ghosts recorded in the book that sucked souls, so he sent someone to ask a monk to do a ritual to get rid of the ghosts.
Normally, those naturally occurring ghosts would not dare to directly harm people in villages where humans live. Even if ordinary mortals gather together, the strong blood energy is not something ordinary little ghosts can withstand.
Most of those powerful ghosts and evil souls who have the power to cause trouble have spiritual intelligence, and they dare not easily go to human villages to harm people. Otherwise, once their whereabouts are exposed, monks will flock to capture them. Such spiritual beings will
The soul of wisdom is most suitable to be refined into a magical weapon as a weapon soul. It is a good thing that monks dream of finding.
The fierce ghosts who dare to openly come out to suck souls are usually kept and trained by ghost cultivators. In the history of Zhongtian Continent, ghost cultivators have been prosperous for a period of time, but the basis of ghost cultivators' cultivation is to kill lives, which is a direct threat.
When it reached the foundation of other cultivation sects, it was quickly wiped out by the major cultivation forces.
The first person who was invited was a casual cultivator who was in the middle stage of Qi training. He didn't have high magic power, but he was very coaxing. He was originally a money swindler. Lin Yuan had a lot of people outside. After meeting him, he knew it well and thought.
Let him hang out here for a few days, and then give him some money to go on his way.
Unexpectedly, this man only stayed at Lin's house for one night and was found bleeding to death. The most important thing was that he didn't hear any movement in his room the whole night!
This time, the whole village was really frightened. It was understandable that this mortal was killed by a ghost without any sound. How could a magician with magical power be unable to resist?
There were timid short-term tenants in the village who started to go to Lin Yuanwai and asked to quit their tenants and leave. Then some long-term tenants also asked to quit their tenants, and some just ran away without saying hello. Within a few days, more than a hundred people left the village.
.
Lin Yuanwai had no choice but to gather his family members together as much as possible every night. At the same time, he sent people with heavy sums of money to invite monks with profound Taoist teachings.
Under the heavy reward, the people sent out actually invited back a casual cultivator who was about to build a foundation in the late stage of Qi training. This man is the most famous casual cultivator within five hundred miles nearby, and he is still somewhat capable. He is checking
After finding the bodies of the dead villagers, it was confirmed with certainty that their souls were sucked by evil ghosts.
Originally, everyone in the Lin family had great hopes for him, but what is unbelievable is that this casual cultivator only stayed at the Lin family for one night and died suddenly of bleeding from his orifices. His expression of panic and pain was no different from that of a mortal.
And it was also quiet and motionless all night long!
When he heard this, even Lin Qing frowned. Someone who could silently kill a monk in the late stage of Qi training, whether he was a human or a ghost, was probably not inferior to him in strength, and his methods were so weird.
I'm afraid even he might get caught accidentally!
The death of this late-stage qi-training monk brought the atmosphere of terror in the village to its peak. Death alone was enough to make people fearful, not to mention the method of death in which even the soul was eaten by ghosts. The villagers would soon be able to escape.
All the young and middle-aged people have fled, and only two to three hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people are left in the village that originally had more than a thousand people.
When he invited the casual cultivator who was in the late stage of Qi training, Lin Yuanwai had already exhausted all the money in his family and had no more money left to ask the monk to come over for help. However, the nearby casual cultivators who knew the situation saw that the monk in the late stage of Qi training was silent.
After being killed, no one would dare to raise their head again.
Now, horrific deaths still happen every night in this village. The helpless remaining villagers wait desperately, and there is deathly silence everywhere...
Lin Qing's two dark thick eyebrows were entangled together, and he said in confusion:
"Judging from this situation, the perpetrators, whether they are ghosts or humans, seem to hate you very much. They want you to suffer the torture of fear before being killed. Could it be that Lin Yuanwai has offended someone before?"
This member of the Lin family originally had no hope for Lin Qing. Now that he heard his analysis, although it was concise, it was very consistent with the actual situation, he couldn't help but admire him. He thought hard for a while and said:
"When I was in Wangtian City, I was just a Hanlin without real power. I had to rely on educating people to make a living. How could I offend anyone?"
"After moving back to my hometown, I have cultivated myself to respect myself and benefited my family. I dare not say that I have high moral character and high respect. I can at least boast of being 'poor and prestigious'. In addition, I have always passed down my poems to my family, and I have always been very strict with my family.
Even ordinary people have never offended anyone, let alone someone with such means!"
"This is strange. How could you attract such a ruthless and fierce person for no reason?" Lin Qing did not think it was a ghost. He could kill one or two people every night in such a planned way. It was obvious that someone was still pretending to be a ghost. He continued
He asked: "Why doesn't Lin Yuanwai take his family and go out to hide for a while? Maybe the hatred will disappear and he will be safe and sound?"
After hearing this, Lin Yuan looked miserable and said:
"Of course I have thought about going out to avoid trouble, but I am originally a sour scholar. Returning to my hometown to buy real estate and build a house have already exhausted all my savings over the years."
"After the disaster happened, the next two times we sent people to hire mages, the required expenses were all obtained from selling the movable property in the house. Now except for the house and real estate that cannot be moved, there is really nothing that can be used as capital, and the property at home is
The hired workers and servants have all fled long ago, leaving only my wife, children, children and a few old family members. How can I get out again?"
"Now, even if Brother Lin is brave and brave, and is willing to help, I don't have any money to reward him. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed!"
At the end of the conversation, the Lin member had a look of shame on his face. It seemed that this man of letters had not lost his spirit, but he was also an honest person.
Lin Qing replied nonchalantly: "Where did you come from? It's my bounden duty as a Taoist to get rid of evil spirits and demons. How can I be rewarded? Please help me arrange a place for me to stay. Lin will take a look at this place tonight."
What kind of evildoer is causing trouble!"
Having said this, Lin Yuan loudly called for someone to arrange for Lin Qing's board and lodging. A young man in his twenties with a gloomy complexion and a thin body quickly ran over and led Lin Qing to a guest room not far away to rest.
According to the introduction of Lin Yuanwai, this is the only young servant of the Lin family who has not fled away. His name is Lin Gui. Now almost all the food and daily life of the whole family depends on him.
"Please take a rest, Master. I will bring you some food later." Lin Gui's attitude was extremely respectful. After saying this, he bowed, walked backwards, closed the door and left.
"Strange, why do I always feel that there is something wrong with this Lin Gui? He is so sinister?" Lin Qing said to himself: "But when I scanned this person with my spiritual consciousness just now, there is clearly no spiritual power fluctuation on this person.
They should be ordinary mortals."
Lin Qing actually didn't know much about the ghost technique that had long been extinct. He only knew that it was a very extreme cultivation method.
In the Jade Slips of Spiritual Breath Ring's Divine Consciousness, there were some records about ghost techniques. He cradled himself and sat cross-legged in the room to check it out.
Most of the monks who practice ghost ways are weak in the early stage, and the various attacks using the soul are not very powerful. Furthermore, their ways to increase their magic power are very limited. They can only use the Yin Qi of the Yin Ming Land to practice, so their strength is difficult.
improve.
However, once the ghost cultivators reach the foundation-building stage and possess powerful ghosts and evil souls, their attacks will be fierce and strange, making them difficult to guard against. Moreover, for ghost cultivators at this stage, the process of killing people is to collect souls to improve their strength.
In the process, the more you kill, the stronger your strength becomes. Therefore, ghost cultivators are all people who have lost their humanity and lost their conscience.
It was already the crescent moon, and there was a desolate scene in the courtyard illuminated by the pale moon. A black figure silently came to the door of the guest room along the gallery in the courtyard.
Lin Qing had already been prepared. When he checked the Jade Slip of Divine Consciousness, his Divine Consciousness had already enveloped the entire house. When this black shadow came over, he discovered it.
