After being forced to debut in metaphysics, I became popular

Li Daochang had many guesses about the ghost way.

After all, it was the future he glimpsed in the gap, and he thought he was ready to face ghosts.

However, when Li Daochang actually entered the Baizhi Lake and walked into the deserted village, he discovered that the ghost way is far more dangerous than he imagined.

Li Daochang stood in the courtyard of the village house, looking straight at the wood carvings in the house with a serious expression.

The wood carvings in the hall, like a happy family, seemed to feel Li Daochang's gaze looking at them, and turned their heads slowly in the dark, looking straight at Li Daochang.

In the surging darkness, the silhouette of a human figure loomed.

Li Daochang frowned, ignoring the coldness coming from his back.

The voices of the rest of the priests shouting reminders and screams to each other came from outside the wall behind him, cutting through the night that should have been silent in the deserted village.

In every village house, woodcarvings with living mouths and eyes came out one after another.

They looked like they lived here, like innocent villagers who went out to check after hearing the abnormal noise. After seeing the intruder, they randomly picked up the things at hand as weapons, and rushed to the priests angrily.

It seems that the priests are the evil spirits who should be expelled.

The posture of the wood carvings is very natural, as if they didn't realize that they are wood carvings, not strangers.

There are more and more wood carvings besieging the Taoist priests, and several Taoist priests are trapped in it.

The spell failed, and the four sides could not use their strength. The priests could only rely on force to fight hard. The mahogany sword in their hands danced vigorously, but they couldn't let the wood carving get close to them for a while.

Some Taoist priests were very lucky at this time, and did not relax their martial arts and sword practice on weekdays, otherwise, if they only learned spells like the mainstream practice in the exorcist profession, they would suffer a big loss here now.

However, Taoist priests are flesh and blood, and they will suffer from pain and fatigue.

The wood carving on the opposite side will not.

Even if their arms and legs were cut off, they could still crawl and squirm on the ground. Even if their bodies were chopped into pieces, the scattered wood fragments still stumbled the Taoist priests.

What made the priests feel the coldest was the eyes of the wood carvings.

Wood carvings with live mouths and eyes are the culmination of carpenters' full display of their skills. In order to make the ghosts in the southwest willing to enter the wood carvings, the carpenters tried their best to make the wood carvings no different from real people.

But now, Taoist priests have felt the drawbacks of the wood carvings being too similar to real people.

——Those flexible eyes seem to have souls living in them.

When it looks straight at you, you will feel as if you have seen a soul begging to you, crying and asking you why you want to kill it.

It's like... what the priests are hurting now is not evil spirits.

It's the villagers who really live here.

The mahogany sword that was originally held tightly in the Taoist priest's hand trembled.

He couldn't restrain his speculation, he didn't know if he was the one being haunted, maybe the person in front of him was really a stranger, but his eyes were covered by the ghostly aura, so he couldn't tell which one was human and which was ghost.

How ridiculous!

People who were supposed to protect life now point their swords at life instead.

In those eyes, it was clearly blaming him for questioning him!

"Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist!"

Before the Taoist priest next to him had time to catch his breath, he found that the Taoist priest not far away was staring at the wood carving in a daze, and the mahogany sword in his hand fell off to the ground.

To make matters worse, the Taoist priest gave up his attack, but the wood carving did not stop, and was still rushing towards the Taoist priest.

At this time, the sharp palm of the wood carving was already pointing at the chest of the Taoist priest, as if it would penetrate the Taoist priest's heart in the next moment.

The Taoist priest next to him was startled, and he quickly raised his sword to support the Taoist priest without caring about his own side.

While yelling to wake up the priest, he swung his sword towards the wood carving with astonishing force, sweeping across an entire open space in an instant, and the wood carving that rushed over was caught off guard and was swept backwards by the sword energy. .

It also left room for the two priests to catch their breath.

He hurried to check the situation of the Taoist priest, and anxiously patted the Taoist priest to bring him back to his senses: "Fellow Daoist, the situation is critical, you have to wake up! Fellow Daoist!"

After a loud shout, like enlightenment, the Taoist priest finally recovered from his chaotic thoughts, and looked at the Taoist priest in front of him blankly.

He looked around himself, and only belatedly realized what had happened, and he felt a surge of fear.

"I just... suddenly felt that what I saw in front of me was not a wood carving, but a villager."

The Taoist priest shook his head, not understanding why he had such thoughts just now: "Sorry, I was distracted."

The Taoist next to him looked at him understandingly, without accusing him of anything.

This kind of thing is the same result for any Taoist leader.After all, Haiyun Temple takes protecting life as its own responsibility, how could the priests accept that they hurt their lives.

Besides... just judging from the narration of this Taoist priest, the Taoist priest next to him has already become suspicious, wondering if these wooden carvings are haunting them.

After detailed inquiry, the Taoist leader next to him also knew the reason.

He pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the surrounding wood carvings.

The rest of the Taoist priests were also buried in the huge number of wood carvings, often too concerned about the front and not the back, even with swords in their hands, many Taoist priests had various concerns and did not dare to use them to their full potential.

In contrast, the situation on their side turned out to be pretty good.

Although the Taoist priest was stunned for a while, he couldn't tell whether he was dealing with a ghost or a human being and was distracted, but fortunately, there were other Taoist priests by his side at that time, who helped him a lot.

More importantly, none of the carved faces in front of him were familiar or seen by him.

Other priests did not have such good luck.

One of the reasons why they were restrained was that the wooden sculptures that surrounded them had faces they had seen before.

Some priests recognized that the wooden carvings in front of them were the villagers who died in the case of Baizhihu Village.

Some priests also found wood carvings that looked similar to the staff of the program group.

Almost every Taoist leader is a little confused, and can't tell what he is dealing with.

"It's not a problem if it goes on like this."

A Taoist leader saw the problem, and said angrily, "Baizhihu is evil, it is true that there are many tricks! Just relying on a few faces that don't know the details, we have been divided to this point."

Even though they knew that this might just be an evil trick by Baizhihu, the priests did not dare to gamble on whether those wood carvings that looked similar to the missing program crew members were just simple wood carvings or they were really program crew members.

Even if one is wrongly injured, it is enough to make the Taoist break down and blame himself.

Between true and false, no one dared to act rashly for fear of harming innocent lives, so they restrained their hands and feet, and instead gave the evil spirits an opportunity to take advantage of.

The area of ​​the deserted village is not small. In addition, when the village houses were built in the past, there was no plan for the whole village, so the path was winding and covered with weeds. When the priests were fighting with the wood carvings, they would walk on the path from time to time. Gradually away from the place where they first gathered.

After the priests were scattered intentionally or unintentionally, they also knew in their hearts that this would be dangerous, and they wanted to regroup to watch and help each other.

The wood carving also showed the Taoist priest's purpose.

They blocked in front of the Taoist priests, forcing the Taoist priests to go far away when avoiding harm, and it was difficult to gather together.

However, although the priests were completely dispersed by the wood carving, they also took this opportunity to see clearly the true intention of the wood carving.

If these are really the staff of the program group, they won't do this kind of thing.

Although they seldom deal with the people in the program group, after all, it is also the program that Taoist Yan has been participating in, and the director is Zhang Wubing who has left a good impression on all the Taoists who have seen him.

The Taoists still have some trust in the program group.

Want to disperse them, do you think it is easier to deal with a single person than a group?

The priests exchanged glances and nodded at each other, thinking about it.

They clenched the mahogany swords in their hands, no longer had any worries, but opened and closed to sweep across the wooden carvings.

All the wood carvings had their legs and hands cut off, they could no longer stand up, and they couldn't hinder the actions of the priests as they did just now.

Then, the Daoist casually dug out a lot of woven bags left over from the house next to him, pulled the woven bags into long strips, and then gathered the woodcarvings that had lost most of their ability to move, and arranged them to stick to each other. position, and then tied them into a pile with woven bag rope.

After several Taoist priests finished this, they were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"These evil spirits are really hateful."

A Taoist priest frowned and looked down at his trembling palms: "I almost thought just now that I really killed the people in the program group..."

Another priest sighed: "Me too..."

"To be honest, if it weren't for these evil spirits who were eager for quick success and quick gains, and showed their feet, I was even ready to resign from the prison after I went back. If our concerns before were true, then I would have nothing to do on the way of cultivation. Stopped. The knot in my heart has already arisen, how can I overcome it.”

"but."

At this time, a Taoist priest held a sword in his back, and after checking that there were no remaining wood carvings around him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.He walked back and asked, "Did any of you see Daoist Ma just now?"

"I just saw a wooden carving in a certain village house that looks like a horseman."

He frowned and recalled: "Not only that, even the wooden carving's technique is exactly the same as that of the Ma Daochang. I suspect that it is Ma Daozhang."

"It's possible."

Another Taoist priest pondered for a moment, then nodded to confirm his guess: "I am afraid that what those evil spirits want to see is this kind of scene, and they want us to kill each other."

Between true and false, it is hard to tell what is right and what is wrong.

Once a person hesitates, his strength will be greatly weakened, and he will start to be timid, even if the danger is approaching, he will not dare to shoot at will.

Baizhihu Xiechong saw through the weaknesses of the priests, and took advantage of them to the extreme.

Since the priests didn't want to hurt their lives, and they were more afraid of hurting those innocent missing people, the White Paper Lake evil spirit used this to deal with them, making them confused about what they were facing.

Perhaps a ghost hiding in the wood carving.

But it is also possible that they came to look for the program crew and rescue team members.

After seeing through this time, what about the next time?

The Taoist leader thought that these were all fake, but the next time he made a decisive move, he found out that the one who killed his former fellow Taoist... For a Taoist leader, it was enough to make him mentally collapse.

After exchanging news with each other and figuring out the evil spirit's purpose, many Taoist priests were so angry that their eyes turned red.

"His heart can be punished!"

The Taoist priest scolded: "I almost fell for it!"

Another Taoist said: "However, since more than one person saw Taoist Ma, and someone else saw Taoist Wang, it means that they are probably indeed in the village. It's just that they are not in the village of our dimension, but by the Separated by blindfold or other means, another village."

Daoist leader: "When those two fellow Taoists came here before us, they didn't know anything about ghosts. They came here for the missing people of the program group, so it's reasonable to appear in the deserted village."

The Taoist priest next to him frowned and said, "In this way, it means that the Taoist priest we saw just now is himself, but for some reason, he looks like a wood carving in our eyes."

"If we make the judgment that all the wood carvings are ghosts, we won't keep our hands on the wood carvings that appear later. At that time, even if the two fellow Taoists who came here first appear, they will be hurt by us. No, it's a lose-lose..."

Clams and cranes compete, and the fisherman benefits.

White Paper Lake Xie Chong, this is to let them fight each other, consume the power of the two parties who don't know each other, and then the final winner will be White Paper Lake Xie Chong.

On the other hand, they became villains who killed their colleagues...

When thinking about the evil strategy and purpose of this place, many priests gasped, feeling a chill in their hearts and lungs.

If it really comes to that time, everything will really be irreparable.

Everyone fell into painful self-blame, only Baizhihu Xiesong won the whole game.

After they reacted, they couldn't help feeling a little grateful in their hearts, and secretly sighed that it was fortunate that they had discovered it early, and there was still time to recover.

At the beginning, the Taoist priest who suggested that all the priests cut off the limbs of the wood carvings but not kill them also subconsciously looked at the wood sculptures that were bundled into a pile.

He was afraid of the most irreversible situation, so he adopted this method.

While restricting the movement of the wood carving, it did not turn the wood carving into a pile of fragments.In this way, although they have to bear the risk that the wood carvings may counterattack, it is better than the situation where they are really strangers.

"If anyone sees Daoist Ma or Daoist Wang again, they must find a way to pass the news to them and tell them that we are coming from Haiyun Temple for reinforcements."

The Taoist said solemnly: "We must not let the killing of each other happen."

The rest of the priests nodded in agreement, and they all added: "Dear friends, if you see wood carvings that look similar to the missing person, you must also use the method of disabling their mobility, so as to prevent the possibility that they are really the same person. .”

"That's right, with this method, even if the situation you least want to see occurs, there is still a chance to recover. As for the wooden carvings that are the same as the dead villagers in the village surnamed Bai, everyone can dispose of them at will."

"Master Ma and the others must still be in the village. Everyone, pay more attention to see what's going on. Can you drag them from another village to our side?"

"Fortunately, we have not really caused an irreversible situation... It is also a blessing in misfortune."

"It should be the ghost way that caused the current situation."

A Taoist leader who had been silent all this time suddenly said: "Because of Li Daochang's easy-to-understand explanations for us to understand, our thinking was limited to this range, and we failed to draw inferences from one instance and see through the truth. But the facts In fact, I think, the way of ghosts should not only switch the identities of ghosts and people."

"The way of ghosts is the ability to manipulate the identity of ghosts at will. Ghosts can be ghosts, or they can make us think they are people."

The Taoist priests around were silent for a moment, thinking about each other.

"If that's the case, then the key to solving the current predicament lies in the ghost path."

A Taoist chief frowned: "No matter how much we do here, we won't be able to harm the Ghost Dao in the slightest. It's just a layer of fur that can be discarded at will."

A woodcarving with a living mouth and living eyes is probably not even an ant to the Ghost Dao. It is just a handy tool that exists to achieve its purpose.

Even if thousands of wooden carvings were killed, it would not be able to stop the continued spread of the ghost realm, and it would not touch the core of the ghost realm at all.

"Speaking of... none of us have met Fellow Daoist Yan."

Suddenly a Taoist leader asked: "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Yan has found the location of the Ghost Dao and is already working on it?"

This guess ignited a fire in the hearts of the Taoist priests, and gave the Taoist priests who were a little depressed because they felt they had entered a dead end, regained their motivation and hope.

Although many of these Taoist priests had just returned to Haiyun Temple from various places and were dispatched to Baizhi Lake urgently, there were also Taoist priests who had indeed had close contact with Yan Shixun and worked with him.

Even if he doesn't know Yan Shixun thoroughly, he is somewhat familiar with his behavior style.

Judging from Yan Shixun's behavior of directly attacking the source of evil spirits, there is a high probability that this guess is true.

The priests once again felt that there was a force injected into their bodies. Even the cold mountain wind in winter made them no longer feel cold, but full of power like a volcano.

"Evil ghosts into the bones."

The Taoist priest shook his head with a low smile: "Layman Chengyun, the Layman Chengyun I looked up to when I was young, his disciple can't be wrong."

"Since everyone hasn't seen Fellow Daoist Yan, it means that the key to the ghost way is not this village at all."

Another Taoist leader said in a deep voice: "Dear friends, we must quickly solve the problem with the opposite village. Speed ​​up as much as possible to find the other two fellow Taoists and the missing people from the program group."

"At the very least, until Fellow Daoist Yan successfully solves the Ghost Dao, we can't let anything affect his mind."

Each is in its place, each doing its own thing.

Judging from their talents, they may not be able to touch the real Dao in their entire lives, let alone go deep into the ghost way and touch the core now.

But behind them are innocent lives throughout the Southwest.

As long as they can slow down the speed of the spread of the ghost way, weaken the power of the ghost way, and support Li Daochang and Yan Shixun who can really touch the ghost way forward, it will be their success.

but……

You Daoist frowned, and suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Has any of you met Daoist Li?"

"Where did Li Daochang go?"

The priests looked at each other, but they were all speechless.

And Li Daochang, who disappeared in front of the Taoist priests, is now trapped in the courtyard with the gate locked.

Two automatically ignited candles danced and swayed wildly in the cold wind in the middle of the night. Between the light and the dark, they roared like evil spirits, baring their teeth and claws.

The hall is full of magnificence, even though the lights are dim, the wealth and delicacy of this family can still be seen, and the golden nanmu reflects beautiful light under the candlelight.

But the grandeur and wealth of the whole hall is accompanied by the depressed air pressure, which is so heavy that it is hard to breathe.

It seems that this is not a well-decorated house, but a tomb buried deep underground.

Looking at Li Daochang from the dimly lit room, the smiles they showed were so piercing, stiff and lifeless, no different from the terracotta figurines in the mourning hall.

Li Daochang still looked calm, not frightened by the strange scene in front of him.

He calmly raised his eyes and looked back at the wooden sculptures, but at the same time he did not relax his attention to the sounds outside the yard behind him.

After hearing that the outside gradually quieted down, Li Daochang knew that the rest of the Daoist priests should have solved the wooden carvings outside.

He can also relax and concentrate on dealing with the evil in front of him.

From the first time he saw the people in the hall, Li Daochang recognized their identities.

Sitting on both sides is Zheng Shushu, a carpenter who was interviewed during the heyday of Southwest Shadow Puppetry. Although there is no relevant news about the girl sitting on the other side, the one standing behind her is Xie Lin.

For Xie Lin, Li Daochang, who doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, has only one impression of him.

——A brother who lost his sister.

After the kidnapping of Xie Lin's sister, many Taoist temples and masters received Xie Lin, and many masters, because they couldn't bear it, moved to count Xie Lin's sister's situation.

Although Haiyunguan did not accept Xie Lin's request, Li Daochang also heard about it when talking with other old friends.

He had seen Xie Lin's face before, and it was obvious that Xie Lin's brother's palace was gloomy and evil.

Xie Lin's younger sister died long ago.

Even, Xie Lin didn't have a younger sister at all, he was the only son, any siblings would cause his death.

Li Daochang saw this clearly decades ago.

However, the deeper the cultivation, the more you will feel the impermanence and unspeakability of fate.

Originally, Li Daochang was not a bad-hearted person, he was not interested in such things as rushing to help others solve trivial matters.

Therefore, he only revealed a few words to his old friend about what he saw, and then took it lightly.

Li Daochang did not expect to see Xie Lin's face again under such circumstances.

Compared with decades ago, the once high-spirited youth has experienced too much suffering and has matured.

But in Li Daochang's eyes, there is no distinction between good-looking and ugly. What he sees is the face, not the appearance.

This face that once had a prosperous career but a bleak brotherhood has now completely darkened.

... Xie Lin is dead.

Li Daochang frowned, he didn't expect such a thing to happen with Yan Shixun in the program group.

Because of this, when he looked at the little girl sitting in front of Xie Lin, his eyes were more probing and defensive.

The little girl who can be treated like this by a brother who loves her sister seems to be the only one left with the identity of a sister.

This child is the one that Xie Lin was looking for like crazy before?

However, this child is also dead?

Li Daochang had a series of doubts in his heart.

Although he doesn't tell people's fortunes, it doesn't mean that he is not proficient in it.

In fact, Li Daochang is extremely proficient in these things, and it can be seen at a glance at this time that the little girl in front doesn't even have a character.

Complete and complete, it is a twisted thing that does not belong to the world nor to the underworld.

The horoscope is only produced when a person is born. It can be used to guess the arrangement of the Dao for this person, and to see through the horoscope of a person's life.

But what if the person standing in front of you wasn't even born at all?

How come the horoscope and fate?

This child is a ghost baby...

Her mother is the soft and beautiful woman who sits on the main seat in the hall.

In the woman's stomach, there was no life other than these people, not even a stillborn baby, only a whole cloud of strong ghostly aura.

Li Daochang's eyes quickly turned around the several wood carvings, and he already understood what kind of situation this was.

It is also true that this is not the residence of strangers, but... the layout of the mourning hall.

The moment Li Daochang came to a conclusion, there was a huge rumbling and thundering sound from a distance, and there was lightning in the dark sky with an astonishing momentum, and it struck straight down, almost tearing apart the dark sky.

Lightning fell through the window and the wall, illuminating the small courtyard.

At that moment, the whole house suddenly changed drastically.

The pale curtain rolled down from above, the white candles in the hall were burning, the man on the main seat disappeared, leaving only a memorial tablet on the grand master's chair.

Placed on the table are plates and plates of offerings, but instead of ordinary melons and fruits, there are several stacked skulls and human heads, as if paying homage to the dead, so that the dead can close their eyes with peace of mind.

As for the box full of gold, silver and jewelry randomly placed on the ground, in the blink of an eye, it turned into gold ingots stacked on paper and white and yellow paper money used when burning paper.

A cold wind passed through the hall, and the pale curtains were gently rolled by the wind, messing up the entire room.The paper money swayed up and down, making a soft "cracking" sound.

In such a quiet and empty environment, slight voices echoed repeatedly, terrifying and frightening.

Li Daochang glanced up at the sky, and a strange premonition appeared in his heart.

Heaven and earth are angry.

But now in Baizhi Lake and even the entire southwest, ghosts are already in power, so, what did the ghosts see, so they were frightened and angry?

Yan Shixun!

Li Daochang's eyes widened slightly, Yan Shixun's name flashed across his heart.

Now the only one who can arouse the ghosts who have taken the upper hand to be so angry is that evil ghost Yan Shixun.

Li Daochang couldn't think of anyone else who could do this.

Therefore, Goudan and his apprentice have not only found the core of the Ghost Dao, but have also done something, which may have put the Ghost Dao at a disadvantage, and even threatened the survival of the Ghost Dao...

As expected of a dog egg!The apprentices are all so good!

Li Daochang, who was still calm and depressed just now, suddenly lifted up again, even with a smile on his face.

With his hands behind his back, he turned his gaze back to the mourning hall in front of him, and snorted coldly through his nostrils.

"Stupid ghost baby, who doesn't even know that he is being used."

Li Daochang looked at the little girl and shook his head again and again: "I can't even tell what I should hate and who I should seek revenge from. It really was a waste of time."

As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind blew up in the mourning hall, the white cloth rolled up, and the sound of the wind was as sharp as the roar of a ghost.

Li Daochang blinked and opened it again, and saw that the little girl who was supposed to be sitting in the mourning hall had appeared in front of him.

She was holding a small puppet in her hand, looking up at Li Daochang, her inorganic eyeballs were filled with icy anger, and the wooden joints under the white skirt made a "cackling" sound, as if she was so angry that she wanted to rush over He tried, but was trapped in the wooden body.

The ghost baby... is already dead?

Li Daochang noticed the abnormality of the little girl, and frowned imperceptibly.

He suddenly realized that since the ghost baby was being used by the ghost dao, Yan Shixun had to kill the ghost baby first in order to get closer to the ghost dao.

As far as the ghost baby is concerned, she is now dead, and only a trace of residual obsession is forcibly left in this body, supporting her every move.

But even this point has been used by ghosts.

Otherwise, the little girl would not be like this, unable to act autonomously even when she was angry.

The little puppet dangling back and forth in the hands of the little girl attracted Li Daochang's attention.

When he looked, he felt that the puppet's face looked familiar.

He slowly realized that this little puppet should be carved after Yan Shixun's appearance.

what happened?What does Gui Dao want to do to Yan Shixun?

Li Daochang frowned instantly, and looked up at the mourning hall.

The few people in the hall lowered their heads and stopped looking at Li Daochang.

Especially Zheng Shu.

He lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, but only the wooden palm he put on the grand master's chair was trying to tighten slowly, clasping the chair tightly.

Li Daochang didn't notice Zheng Shushu's slight changes. After seeing the paintings and ornaments on the mourning hall, he realized why he was attracted here.

Those decorations are not ordinary study decorations at all.

It's a sacrificial ritual vessel.

The five elements and eight trigrams on the hanging paintings, the coincident spells, and the ritual utensils used when offering sacrifices to the heavens and the earth, plus the ghost family that was once used by ghosts...

——Ghost Dao wants to use this to sacrifice to the heaven and earth, cut off the connection between himself and the ghost baby, and completely clean up the karma of ghost dao left on the earth.

The ghost way originated from Baizhi Lake, but because of this, cause and effect were left on the ground.

If it wants to completely replace the Dao, it means that it must cut off all connections with the earth in order to truly transcend the Three Realms and Five Elements.

But Ghost Dao suffers from the lack of a point of entry.

Just at this moment, Li Daochang appeared in Baizhi Lake.

Li Daochang, who can comprehend the world and even glimpse the first-line avenue, is the best medicine introduction for ghosts.

The moment Li Daochang wanted to understand, he was not only not afraid, but also raised his eyebrows with interest.

"Okay, with you guys, this is a mourning hall for me, take me as a sacrifice?"

Li Daochang laughed back angrily: "Then let's try and see who is the one who uses the mourning hall—I bet it's you, Guidao."

"Boom--!"

The thunder roared like a roar, and the lightning struck straight down from the sky and smashed into the mourning hall.

In an instant, the dust scattered and the bricks and tiles flew.

Xie Lin's wooden puppet held the girl in his arms, but he was smashed to pieces, sending sawdust flying.

Li Daochang waved the dust in front of his eyes, and the scene in his vision finally gradually became clear again.

Then he saw that where he was standing just now, a large crater had been dug out by lightning, scorched black with an unpleasant smell of burning, and gravel rolled down.

If he hadn't dodged in time, it would be him who turned into a handful of ashes now.

And at a critical moment, I gave him a hand, so that he could discover the strange thing in time...

Li Daochang turned slightly, looking at the figure beside him with a solemn expression.

Unexpectedly, it was Zheng Shushu who was still in the mourning hall just now.

Half of the body of the wooden puppet was split by lightning, leaving only the other half, crumbling.

Only then did Li Daochang see clearly that the inside of the living mouth and living eyes wood carving is hollow.

And this vacated space just happened to hold a corpse.

Now that the wood carving has been destroyed, the contents inside are also exposed, and the broken bones are scattered all over the ground.

But Zheng Shushu's woodcarving still stood persistently, tugging on Li Daochang's Taoist robe sleeve.

It seems that there is something unfinished, which supports him stubbornly and refuses to fall.

"Yan..."

The woodcarving opened its mouth tremblingly, and its hoarse and ugly voice was so soft that it was hard to recognize, and it could be broken up by the wind.

But he still persisted, unwilling to give up, and wanted to convey some news to Li Daochang.

When Li Daochang heard Yan Shixun's surname, his face immediately became serious, and he listened intently.

The mouth of the carved wood opens and closes.

And Li Daochang's eyes widened slowly, looking at the wood carving with disbelief, far beyond his own expected shock.

In the gloomy sky, dark clouds billowed, and thunder raged.

"Boom--!"

When the lightning struck again, Yan Shixun finally took advantage of this light to see clearly who the figure standing on the mountain of corpses was.

The ebony statue, which no one has found, actually appeared here?

Yan Shixun frowned, although according to the words of the ghost messenger, the ebony god seemed to be on the side of the world, but he still did not dare to relax his vigilance.

After all, although the image referred to in the carving of the statue originated from Yeli, he already possesses divinity and power, and he is one with the name of Yeli, but it is more like two completely different people.

Yan Shixun still remembered Ye Li's gloomy face when he talked about the ebony statue, and he had also heard about the deeds of a former general from Yan Wang. , lead but not send.

But the opposite of Yan Shixun's reaction was the general standing on the mountain of corpses.

He glanced at Yan Shixun from the corner of his eye, an imperceptible trace of confusion appeared on his cold face, and the murderous intent and anger that filled his heart also paused for a moment.

The warlord finds it strange.

I have never known the warmth and softness in the world, and the spirit has long given it an angry struggle. It should have been filled with chaos, evil spirits and ghosts.

But at this moment, the soul of a lifetime crashed into his field of vision.

The general felt vaguely that he knew this living soul.

——In the future, he will meet this living soul.

Just like the future and death he saw at the moment when he became a ghost.

At the moment when man and god merged, the critical value produced a mysterious leap, and the warrior once saw a handsome face of a mortal at that moment.

He saw that his karma would eventually converge on that mortal.

It's just that the warrior used to have no emotion, and he indifferently left the memory of that moment behind him.

But now, the memory surged again, and that face was once again vivid in the general's mind.

Warlord turned around slowly, facing Yan Shixun's direction.

He lowered his sharp eyebrows and looked at Yan Shixun intently, as if he was thinking about Yan Shixun's identity, and wanted to know why this living soul appeared in his future and end at the moment when he became a ghost and god.

Immediately, the warrior stepped forward with his long legs, step by step, firmly stepped over the corpse under his feet, walked down from the top of the mountain, and walked in the direction of Yan Shixun.

The heavy armor gleaming on his body collided with each other, making a metallic sound, and the unstoppable long knife in his hand was still dripping with undried blood. It was astonishing as if he had just walked off the battlefield, and he was surrounded by soaring evil spirits. No one else would dare up close.

But Yan Shixun didn't dodge or fear at all, he just raised his eyes slightly, looking at the general from afar.

Ye, Li...

The well-known name silently and slowly passed between Yan Shixun's lips.

He looked at the warrior with extremely focused eyes, but he was not looking at the warrior, but at the one he was more familiar with, the Lord of Fengdu after a thousand years.
