On the day I left school, I knocked all the relatives in the hospital to death

I asked Zhang Lingchuan, does he know who killed Taoist Xuanqing?

Could it be Zhao Cheng?

Zhang Lingchuan shook his head and said, Zhao Cheng doesn't have that ability.

The person who killed Taoist Xuanqing was the Rakshasa Sect.

Rakshasa gate?

Are they the ones who made the Grimace Rakshasa?

Seeing my confusion, Zhang Lingchuan told me about the Eight Gates of Jianghu while carrying the body of Taoist Xuanqing.

As the saying goes, there are three religions and nine streams, and there are eight great rivers and lakes.

The eight major rivers and lakes are divided into eight inner gates and eight outer gates.

The eight inner gates are Jing, Tired, Piao, Ce, Wind, Fire, Jue, and Yao.

The outer eight gates are: stealing, poison, selling, phoenix, thousand, witchcraft, drama, and killing.

I already know Qianmen, he is just a flower girl who does some deception and abduction.

I still don’t quite understand which of the eight gates of the Jianghu the Rakshasa Gate belongs to.

"The Rakshasa Sect is a sect that has emerged outside the Eight Sects of Jianghu. It likes to peel off people's faces to make masks."

"That ghost-faced Rakshasa is very evil. A few years ago, I dealt with a very bizarre incident."

The night was long, and Zhang Lingchuan told me about his experience a few years ago.

That was his first case, so he was particularly impressed.

Because the people who come to him for help are not ordinary people, but insiders who are also in the business of catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits.

"When I received the order and went to the man's house, I saw a very terrifying scene. His whole mental state became very crazy, and he was sharpening a butcher's knife bit by bit in the yard."

"Butcher's Knife?" I asked in confusion.

"Yeah, that's a pig butcher."

Zhang Lingchuan explained to me that in the Jianghu trade, the butcher is a pork seller on the surface, but secretly he is doing business in the underworld.

A butcher's knife can kill all the monsters in the world.

They have a strong evil spirit, and normally the evil spirits would not dare to approach them.

But that day, the man suddenly went crazy and hacked his wife and children to death overnight!

Not only that, he also cut off his wife's head and hung it at the door of his house, saying that he wanted to use it as a guiding lantern.

Such evil nature made Zhang Lingchuan become cautious.

"Actually, what I was thinking at the time was that if he wasn't crazy, he must be possessed by an evil spirit. Who knew that as soon as I got closer and was about to take action, he fell to his knees with a plop, crying so hard that his nose was dripping with tears."

"why?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Lingchuan turned to look at me and said, "He cried and said that he did not kill his wife and children, but someone grabbed his hand and killed them."

This long tongue twister confused me.

"So the pig butcher asked you to exorcise evil spirits?"

Zhang Lingchuan shook his head expressionlessly and said softly: "He asked me to go and kill him."

My eyes widened, why would anyone pay someone to kill them these days?

He smiled softly: "Actually, my reaction at the time was similar to yours now. I wondered if the pig butcher was out of his mind."

As he spoke, Zhang Lingchuan's tone became serious.

"When the pig butcher saw that I refused to do anything, he took off his clothes. As a result..."

Zhang Lingchuan took a deep breath of air and continued.

"As a result, I saw a ghost face mask growing out of his back! The mask was so lifelike that it blended into his skin and flesh."

I immediately thought of the grimace Rakshasa I had just seen in Qingfeng Temple.

I couldn't help but think of the role of the ghost-faced Rakshasa: "Those ghost masks can control people's behavior? It controlled the butcher to kill his wife and children!"

Zhang Lingchuan nodded and confirmed my guess. He also said that the grimace of Rakshasa can not only confuse people's hearts, but also suck people's essence.

It is like a monster parasitic on a person's body. After slowly devouring the essence, the person will completely become a container for the ghost face mask.

"The pig-killer couldn't control himself. He was afraid that he would become a monster causing trouble. So he spent a lot of money to ask me to kill him."

I was fascinated by this story and asked him what happened next. Was the pig butcher dead?

"He didn't die, but I almost died under the ghost mask." When he said this, Zhang Lingchuan paused.

"That time, if Taoist Master Xuanqing hadn't arrived in time, I might have become a parasite of the Ghostface Mask."

I didn't ask any further. It must have been that time that Taoist Master Xuanqing took action to suppress that weird grimace.

"It's worth mentioning that since that incident, people from all over the world have died under the mask of the Ghostface Rakshasa from time to time."

He said with a sneer: "It's embarrassing to say that. The eight sects of Jianghu have been fighting for many years, but they are united because of this matter. We all formed a Taoist alliance and said we would find out the mastermind behind the ghost-faced Rakshasa."

I quickly asked: "Have you found out? What is the origin of this grimace Rakshasa?"

"There is no background. They searched here and there for many years, but found nothing. This so-called ghost face mask is like an evil ghost that appeared out of thin air, appeared in the human world, and then escaped without a trace after doing evil."

"Even the Rakshasa Sect was made up by the Dao League people themselves."

My scalp felt a little numb when I heard it, and even the female corpse on the back didn't feel so scary anymore.

After walking forward in the dark for a while, Zhang Lingchuan suddenly stopped.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I knew it wouldn't be that easy to get away."

"Did someone come around?"

Zhang Lingchuan glanced at me: "You're not too stupid."

With that said, he put down Taoist Master Xuanqing and took out a bell from his bag.

"Put down the Zimusha, run away shaking this soul-inducing bell in front, and don't look back!"

I took the bell and asked quickly: "What should I do with these corpses?"

"This is Maoshan's corpse exorcism technique. You ring the bell and recite the spell I taught you silently in your mind. Don't look back as you run all the way. They will follow you."

There were rustling sounds in the forest, and I knew that staying with Zhang Lingchuan would be just a drag.

He took the bell and ran out in the direction he pointed without looking back.

Running wildly all the way, I almost collapsed.

I thought to myself why my life was so miserable. I was abused by that bastard Yu Shunyi at home, and I would still be hunted down if I followed Zhang Lingchuan.

But the further I ran, the more unsure I felt. It was so quiet around here that it made me panic.

Zhang Lingchuan said he couldn't stop. I was exhausted from running, but I didn't dare to stop.

At this moment, a strange figure appeared in the shadows of the trees in front.

He wore a grimace mask on his face and was gesticulating actions on the stage not far away, singing the lyrics in a babbling manner.

It was as if the wilderness had been treated as a stage.

I stopped suddenly and stared blankly at the masked man who was still more than ten meters away, my heart beating fast.

Sweat dripped down his forehead quietly. What on earth do these pretenders want to do?

It's so damn bizarre, I want to go back and find Zhang Lingchuan.

However, the moment I turned my head, the masked man with a ghostly face who was more than ten meters away from me suddenly appeared behind me!

As soon as I turned around, I met him face to face.

What the hell is going on? !

Taoist Master Xuanqing and his mother-in-law stood aside blankly, while the masked man with a grimace approached step by step with strange steps.

I kept backing up until a pair of hands suddenly appeared behind me and put them on my shoulders.

Someone breathed into my neck, and the cold wind made my skin crawl.

"Finally I caught you -" a dramatic voice sounded, my shoulder hurt, and I fainted...
