The heavens start from Quanzhen swordsmanship

Xu Zhiqing followed the soldiers and soon came to a person.

This man was wearing a dark green military uniform with a green helmet on his head. He looked about thirty years old.

When Xu Zhiqing looked at this man, this man also looked at him.

"Are you the Taoist priest who transported the corpse to Nanjing City?"

"Besides me, there should be no one else here, right?"

"Too!"

"What do you call Taoist Priest?"

"This general can just call me Daozhang Xu!"

"Taoist Master Xu... I wonder where Taoist Xu practices?"

"I was originally staying at a charity village next to Renjia Town, Zhong County, Wudu City. Later, I heard that the Japanese were fully invading our country. I heard Commander Liu's call for help!"

"So I decided to go to Nanjing City, and I didn't prepare that coffin for others, but for myself!"

Xu Zhiqing's made-up words made the man in front of him look slightly startled.

Then, he saluted Xu Zhiqing.

"Taoist Master, please call me Xu San!"

After Xu San finished speaking, a guard beside him said: "This Taoist priest, this is our Captain Xu!"

When Xu Zhiqing heard the guard's words, he raised his hands to Xu Sangong.

"Xu has met Captain Xu!"

"Captain Xu called me here because he suspected that we were some kind of spies, right?"

When Xu San heard what Xu Zhiqing said, he laughed.

"How can a hot-blooded person like the Taoist Master be a spy!"

"By the way, you are heading to Nanjing City. Do you have any acquaintances?"

Xu Zhiqing shook his head.

"We set off from Sichuan Province. Since we are heading to Nanjing City, we naturally look for brothers from Sichuan Province!"

For Xu Zhiqing, his eyes darkened.

What he wanted to do was to find the place where those people were meeting after arriving in Nanjing City, and then go there.

Now that I think about it, it would be better not to be so reckless.

"It turns out that I'm looking for my brother from Sichuan Province!"

Xu San nodded slightly, understanding.

"Daoist Master Xu, we are on the same road, why don't we walk together together?"

"You can do anything!"

Xu Zhiqing readily agreed.

The city of Nanjing is ahead. If he follows this unit, he should better find people from Sichuan Province, and then find Commander Liu.

When Xu San heard Xu Zhiqing agreed, a smile appeared on his face.

"Taoist Master Xu, let's invite him together!"

Xu Zhiqing nodded slightly.

On the way, Xu Zhiqing also got to know Xu San.

This Xu San was born in the Yunnan Army.

This team should be the artillery regiment of the Yunnan Army coming to support them.

Within the army, Xu Zhiqing could see clearly every cannon.

Xu Zhiqing knew that none of the various forces were very wealthy.

There are relatively many people, but there is really a shortage of weapons.

This artillery regiment should also be one of the foundations of the Yunnan Army.

"Daozhang Xu, are there really ghosts in this world?"

On the way, a guard next to Xu San asked Xu Zhiqing curious questions.

As soon as the guard finished asking, Xu San, the group leader, immediately scolded: "Huzi, don't ask questions that you shouldn't!"

Xu Zhiqing laughed and said: "Actually, many people have doubts about this. They think it exists, but they have never seen it before!"

The guard Huzi on the side nodded with deep understanding.

"I've heard of the extremely evil stories that have been spread, but I've never seen the real ones!"

"Daozhang Xu, are there really ghosts in the world?"

Xu Zhiqing chuckled and said: "If you meet it, you have it; if you don't meet it, you don't have it!"

Huzi is depressed.

"Is it there or not?"

Xu Zhiqing smiled and said nothing.

He said yes, but the other party didn't believe it. Could it be that he still wanted to verify it?

When Huzi saw that Xu Zhiqing refused to say anything, he grinned.

"You, Taoist Priest, are mysterious and mysterious. Why can't you tell me everything?"

"Forget it, I won't ask you anymore!"

After Huzi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

But he didn't go far, instead he came close to Tieta and Erniu, and then asked in a low voice.

Xu San waited for Hu Zi to leave, and he apologized to Xu Zhiqing: "He hasn't read many books, and he is still very curious about those mysterious things!"

Xu Zhiqing smiled and said: "It's normal, everyone is curious!"

Xu San looked at Xu Zhiqing.

"Daozhang Xu, doesn't your coffin look like a bargain?"

"When preparing a coffin for yourself, you can't use cheap stuff, right?"

"Too!"

Xu San believed what Xu Zhiqing said.

Following the team, Xu Zhiqing and the others did not move that fast.

There was no way, the three of them were riding faster.

Now with the artillery, the walking speed will naturally not be that fast.

They were supposed to arrive in Nanjing tonight, but now they had to stay overnight on the way.

As a team, there is no need to set up a tent, they can just sleep together as a group.

Xu Zhiqing meditates in one place.

Xu San was quite surprised when he saw it.

Sitting cross-legged all night would be unbearable for anyone, right?

That's what he was thinking, but he didn't say anything.

Huzi, on the other hand, stared at the iron tower and the coffin behind Erniu with a curious look in his eyes.

During the day today, he heard a lot of things from Tie Ta and Er Niu.

For example, this Taoist Xu is really very capable.

On the way from Fog City to Nanjing City, countless evil ghosts were killed.

"Is it true that there are ghosts in the world?"

Huzi thought and fell asleep in the dark night.

Late at night, the waning moon disappears and the mist rises.

A cool breeze blew, and the fog did not dissipate but became thicker.

Several black shadows clung to the ground, slowly wiping away towards Xu San's position.

Xu Zhiqing, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, noticed a hint of sinister aura and opened his eyes suspiciously.

There are still some short-sighted beings who dare to provoke the team with iron-blooded evil spirit?
On the march, ordinary lonely ghosts would have no time to avoid such a team, and would not dare to take the initiative to join in.

Because of the sinister aura on their bodies, once they get close to such a bloody and masculine military formation, they will be knocked out of their wits.

But now, several ghosts actually came in.

This is why Xu Zhiqing is puzzled.

He looked at the dark figures and walked toward Xu San in a familiar way.

He knew that these ghosts should be looking for Xu San.

Xu Zhiqing wanted to take action directly, but then he sensed the strength of those ghosts and restrained himself.

The few ghosts that came here were not very strong.

They may have some abilities, but they shouldn't be too strong.

In addition, Xu Zhiqing wanted to know who was behind these ghosts.

Because he discovered that those ghosts all had some artificially refined lines on their bodies.

Obviously, these ghosts are being manipulated.

I just don’t know what those people are doing controlling these ghosts.

The strength of these ghosts is too weak. If they show up directly, they might be killed.

Unless...Xu Zhiqing thought of another possibility.

That is another role of ghosts.

That is to enter the human body, then swallow the spirit and ignite the inner demons.

If an ordinary person is penetrated by such a ghost, the most common thing they will do is have nightmares.

It's not a beautiful erotic dream, but a nightmare that frightens my heart.

This nightmare has reached a certain level, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

"interesting!"

Xu Zhiqing did not take action.

He wanted to see how strong Xu San and the guards around him were.

In addition, the person behind the control of the ghost should also be among the team.

There is absolutely no problem for such a strange being to easily blend in among ordinary people.

"With the speed of this team, they will arrive in Nanjing City at around noon the day after tomorrow... These ghosts will not cause any harm to Xu San and the others tonight!"

"I'll wait until tomorrow to see who controls those ghosts!"

Xu Zhiqing discovered that the controlled ghosts were controlled in a very simple and crude way, as if they were controlled by blood curses.

"Usually those who manipulate ghosts like this are evil demons... I didn't expect that this time, I actually encountered one."

These things were told to him by his senior brother Huang Daoren.

Everyone in the Taoist sect of Zhengerba Jing all makes an upright contract with ghosts, treating ghosts as partners instead of using ghosts as tools.

Using blood spells to control ghosts is to connect with one's own spirit.

Once something goes wrong with those ghosts, their own minds will be confused at best, or broken into pieces at worst.

Taoist people would not do such a thing.

Xu Zhiqing couldn't find the person behind the scenes now, so he simply let it go.

The team will arrive in Nanjing the day after tomorrow.

If that person sets the stage tonight, he will definitely take action again the next night.

At that time, when that person comes out, go over by yourself.

Just when Xu Zhiqing was thinking this, a ghost suddenly came to him.

After Xu Zhiqing noticed it, his own Tianxin Zhengfa suddenly shook, and he was about to smash the ghost.

He hurriedly controlled his strength so that the ghost was not aware of it.

He almost killed the ghost.

If he killed this ghost, wouldn't he just let the person behind the scenes escape?

Xu Zhiqing thought of this, so he controlled the magic power that was released from his body.

After he took control, the ghost didn't notice it at all.

It floated to Xu Zhiqing's side numbly, and after circling around Xu Zhiqing, it recently penetrated into Xu Zhiqing's body.

Xu Zhiqing carefully controlled the mana, mental power, spiritual energy, etc. in his body, trying not to let the ghosts be crushed.

The guy behind the scenes saw that he was a Taoist priest, so he came to test it out?
Since you want to test it, let it be a test!
Xu Zhiqing controlled himself and prevented himself from causing harm to the ghost.

After a long time, the person behind the scenes seemed to know Xu Zhiqing's strength through the ghost.

At one point in the queue, there was a young man with a hat covering his face, a look of disdain on his face.

"I thought I really met a powerful Taoist man, but I didn't expect that this guy looks like a pewter spear head that is worthless!"

"I was so cautious in vain, it really scared me to death!"

"You little boy, let's see how I play with you after I take care of them!"

After thinking about this, the young man pulled down the hat covering his face.

He continues to manipulate his five ghosts and make them do things.

After Xu Zhiqing noticed that the ghost was attached to his body, his face looked a little strange.

Did that guy really treat him like a soft persimmon?

Want to pinch him?

He was speechless.

Xu Zhiqing carefully controlled the power in his body, fearing to destroy the ghost.

Just as he was carefully controlling it, he found that the ghost was slowly exerting an influence on him, as if it wanted to give him nightmares.

Xu Zhiqing sighed and directly used means to stabilize the little ghost in his body, and at the same time let the influence exerted by the little ghost be released.

After he finished doing this, he continued to practice.

The next day, it was just time for the cock to crow.

Someone started to wake up the team.

Guard Huzi was the first to wake up. When he woke up, Huzi was sweating profusely and had lingering fears on his face.

After a while, he came to his senses and went to call the group leader.

He entered the tent and found the group leader's brows furrowed and sweat pouring down his face.

"Captain, commander!"

Huzi shouted quickly.

Following his shout, Xu San opened his eyes instantly.

Huzi opened his eyes when he saw the leader.

He hurriedly asked: "Captain, are you okay?"

Xu San rested for a while before answering.

"It's nothing, just a nightmare!"

When Huzi heard the group leader's words, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Because he also had nightmares before.

"Captain, what nightmare did you have?"

"It's just a nightmare, why do you care so much?"

"If there's nothing else, go get someone to cook for you and then set off after breakfast!"

"Yes!"

Huzi left the tent.

After he came out, he saw Xu Zhiqing still meditating, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes again.

This Taoist priest seems to have some ability!

I was meditating all night long.

Huzi thought, instead of calling Xu Zhiqing, he went to give instructions to the logistics.

After Huzi came back after giving instructions, Xu Zhiqing opened his eyes.

"Brother Tiger, stay!"

Huzi looked at Xu Zhiqing.

"Taoist Master, are you awake?"

Xu Zhiqing nodded with a smile.

"I slept pretty well after I finished, but you seem to be in a daze. Did you not sleep well?"

Huzi waved his hand.

"Hey, don't mention it. I probably listened to Erniu and Tieta talking too much about ghost stories during the day. I finally had a sweet dream last night, but at the last moment the other party turned into a skull, which was scary to death. Me!"

When Xu Zhiqing heard Hu Zi's words, he chuckled and said, "Last night, you were not the only one who dreamed, there were also Captain Xu San and your other two guard brothers!"

After Huzi heard what Xu Zhiqing said, he looked at Xu Zhiqing in confusion.

"Taoist Master, is it true or false?"

He did not ask the other two brothers. He knew that the leader was in a nightmare just now.

"You can ask!"

"Okay, just wait!"

After a while, the tiger came back again.

"Taoist leader, the group leader is calling you!"

"I see!"

After Xu Zhiqing finished speaking, he asked Huzi to wait.

Huzi looked at Xu Zhiqing suspiciously, and then he saw Xu Zhiqing walking to the carriage where the coffin was placed, buckling the coffin with his hands, and pulling out a few lumps of soil.

"Taoist Priest, what are you doing?"

You'll find out later!
Xu Zhiqing did not tell Huzi directly, but asked Huzi to go to the battalion commander together.

After entering the camp, Xu San waved to Xu Zhiqing.

"Taoist Master, the tent is simple, you can sit wherever you like!"

Xu Zhiqing nodded and found a place to sit cross-legged.

Before Xu San could speak, he took the initiative and said: "Captain Xu, you called me here because you wanted to ask about the nightmare, right?" (End of Chapter)
