Chapter 8 Second Master, the Mountain God Temple is in front
That night, Li Sheng did not have to keep vigil because his cousin asked him to come to the room to discuss important matters.

Under the candlelight, the shadows of Li Sheng and Zhang Wei were very long. Although the candlelight was very warm, Li Sheng felt cold.

Li Sheng twisted his butt, adjusted his sitting position, and then asked: "Zijie, what's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Zhang Wei poured a cup of tea for Li Sheng and asked, "Cousin, tell me the truth, is there anything unclean in the well in the northwest corner of our house?"

Li Sheng took the teacup, his face somewhat awkward, and after considering his words, he said, "They are just a few servants who don't care if they are killed for committing crimes. They did cause some troubles at the beginning, but they were all solved by the expert I invited. For this, I even spent 100 taels to get a piece of fire smoke stone from the expert to deter the remaining evil spirits.

Did Zijie feel uncomfortable when he passed by there? Don't worry, as long as the fire smoke stone is left there for a few months, the negative energy will be almost dissipated by the fire power."

After hearing what Li Sheng said, Zhang Wei understood what the well was used for. Just like the flowers and plants in the imperial garden of the palace grew particularly lush, there were also some places in the courtyard of the wealthy families for dealing with some people. It can also be regarded as a special product of the wealthy families in the feudal era.

Zhang Wei asked, "Cousin, where did you invite that expert from? Where is he now?"

"He traveled around the world and left after he dealt with my problem." Li Sheng explained. Halfway through his explanation, he saw that Zhang Wei's face looked a little strange, and his heart skipped a beat. He then asked, "Why, Zijie, are you worried about him..."

Zhang Wei nodded with a heavy face, and Li Sheng's face turned ugly at that moment. He muttered, "This is impossible... But he really solved the problem for me. He is a master of cultivation, how could he..."

At this point, Li Sheng suddenly shut up, because he suddenly remembered that his cousin seemed to have returned home because he could not find an immortal. He told me about this because he was worried about me, but I ended up rubbing salt into his wounds, which was really wrong!
Seeing his cousin's expression, Zhang Wei knew what he was thinking. Knowing that the other party didn't believe him, he could only sigh and took out the "Five Realms Spiritual Materials Record" which recorded the spiritual materials commonly circulated in the Five Realms. He turned to a certain page and pointed to the introduction on it and said: "Everything is divided into yin and yang, and the power of fire is naturally divided into yin fire and yang fire. If you use yang fire spiritual materials to suppress yin energy, then of course it is possible. But this fire smoke stone..."

"But it's the Yin Fire Stone!"

"Using Yin Fire to suppress evil spirits is not suppression, but catalysis! This so-called master is not suppressing the Yin Qi for you at all, he is using your Yin Qi to raise ghosts for him!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Li Sheng was immediately shocked. He took the book of Five Realms Spiritual Materials and started reading it. When he saw the introduction below the Fire Smoke Stone, which said "Yin Fire Stone, easily gives birth to evil fire ghosts", he collapsed on the chair as if he had lost all his bones.

"Then...what should we do then?"

Li Sheng grabbed Zhang Wei's hand as if he had grasped a life-saving straw and asked, "Zijie, since you can see this ghost-raising situation, there must be a solution, right?"

Zhang Wei said: "Yes, just buy a piece of Yang Fire Stone to replace it."

"Then I'll go buy it now!"

Li Sheng was about to stand up after he finished speaking, and he also took the Five Realms Spiritual Materials Record with him, obviously using the book as a shopping guide to avoid buying the wrong things again.

However, as soon as he stood up, Zhang Wei pulled him back to sit.

Zhang Wei said helplessly: "Stop. I haven't finished talking yet. The most difficult part of this matter is not solving this ghost-raising situation, but what to do after you change it! How are you going to deal with the demon cultivator who set up this ghost-raising situation!"

"Since the other party has set up a ghost-raising scheme here, he will definitely come back to collect the evil ghosts that have been raised. You replaced his fire smoke stone and ruined his plan. There's no guarantee that he won't hold a grudge against you for this."

Zhang Wei spoke earnestly, while Li Sheng's face turned paler the more he listened. He said with a sad face, "Then what should I do? Who have I offended? I invited a cultivator to hold a ritual but I got a demon cultivator instead. What kind of luck is this!"

"Do you want me to move? If I can't afford to offend you, I can afford to hide, right?"

Listening to his cousin's mumbling, Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "The only solution now is to go to Luoxia Temple, prepare generous gifts, and invite the temple master!"

Luoxia Temple is the most famous Taoist temple in Luoxia County. In fact, it is the facade through which the Wang family of Luoxia communicates with the outside world. The masters of Luoxia Temple in all generations were cultivators from the Wang family who came out to handle worldly affairs and they all had great cultivation.

According to the rules of the world of immortal cultivation, Luoxia County is the sphere of influence of the Luoxia Wang family. Now that a demon cultivator who raises ghosts has appeared in their territory, it is most appropriate to ask them to deal with it.

As for whether Luoxia Wang Clan was behind this, Zhang Wei thought it was impossible after thinking about it. It was not like he had never seen that Yin Well before. With the degree of pollution of the secular spiritual energy, the ghosts raised by that Yin Well would at most die in the early stage of Qi Refining.

For a family of immortal cultivators with a master of foundation building in charge, would it be worth it to go through so much trouble just to raise a fire ghost who was just in the early stage of Qi training?
After all, it is in the spiritual vein, with sufficient supply of spiritual energy. Even if they raise ghosts in the cellar of their own home, they are probably stronger than those raised here.

Therefore, the one who raised this ghost was most likely a demon cultivator who got the chance to embark on the evil path by chance and used a trick to hide the hidden dangers.

When Li Sheng heard that he was going to Luoxia Temple, a look of pain appeared on his face. As a local wealthy family, he actually knew that the master of Luoxia Temple was no simple person. But the price of inviting that old Taoist priest to come was also not low!
But then he thought that although he was reluctant to give up the money, it could not compare with the lives of his family, so he made up his mind.

Li Sheng may not have good abilities, but his ability to take action is off the charts. After learning that there was a demon in his home, he sent people on horseback out of the city that night and headed to Luoxia Mountain.

On the next morning, Taoist Master Wang Defeng from Luoxia Temple came to the Li family and led by Li Sheng to the Yinjing.

"It is indeed the technique of gathering evil and raising ghosts, but the technique is quite crude. I think it is a self-indulgent cultivator who entered the path of evil through wild means." Wang Defeng said with bright eyes, stroking his gray beard.

"Who discovered it?"

Li Sheng immediately replied respectfully: "It's my cousin, Zhang Wei Zhang Zijie."

Wang Defeng was stunned, and a very familiar name came to his mind.

"Zhang Zijie? Is he the filial son who wrote "Ode to the Goose"?"

Thanks to the previous publicity, many talented writers participating in the Luoxia Poetry Festival would cite Zhang Wei as material, so that Wang Defeng, who was practicing Taoism on the next hill, could hear Zhang Wei's name every year, and it was difficult to forget it.

But I heard some time ago that he was rejected by Linglong Fairy Island because he had no spiritual roots. It's a pity.

Li Sheng said: "That's right."

Wang Defeng said with emotion: "So it was him. No wonder, he is a thoughtful person. It's a pity that such a child has no spiritual roots, otherwise he would definitely be an immortal seedling. Where is he now?"

Li Sheng smiled apologetically and said, "He said that since he had no chance to become an immortal, he would not bother Master Wang anymore and simply went outside the city to relax." "Is that so... Forget it, move this fire smoke stone away."

Upon hearing this, Wang Defeng simply put the matter behind him. He had just wanted to meet her on a whim. Since the other party was unwilling to continue to set foot in the world of immortal cultivation, it was okay not to meet her. A mere ordinary person without spiritual roots, no matter how famous he was, was not worth his attention.

"Yes!"

The two servants hurried forward, worked together to hold the fire smoke stone on the Yin well, and then slowly lifted it up.

As soon as they opened their eyes a little, they smelled a pungent odor and subconsciously took three steps back. Li Sheng couldn't help but dry-heaved twice.

After the fire smoke stone was completely moved away, wisps of black mist overflowed from the wellhead. This strange scene was so bizarre that anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was not a good thing.

Wang Defeng lowered his head and looked into the well. After seeing what was inside, he couldn't help but frown. But he didn't take it too seriously.

After all, he had lived for so many years and had seen countless dirty deeds of the wealthy and powerful families. The Li family's beating and killing servants and then throwing them into the well was considered a little fresh.

He took the gourd he carried with him, poured a little of the fragrant liquid into his hands, and then wiped it towards the corner of his eyes. A ray of white light flashed across Wang Defeng's eyes.

After applying the spiritual liquid, Wang Defeng's vision also changed. He saw that on the dry bones at the bottom of the well, there were several black ghosts of different sizes lying, biting each other constantly, just like raising a Gu, and slowly getting stronger as they devoured each other.

Exhaling a breath of foul air, Wang Defeng put his hands together and shouted: "The sky and the earth are boundless, and all laws follow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, five khaki talismans flew out from his loose Taoist robe, and spread out in the void in four directions, transforming into a cover that locked the mouth of the Yin Well.

"Destroy the evil heretics!"

Wang Defeng shouted loudly, and the five talismans instantly ignited without fire, turning into five streams of light that drilled into the Yin Well. Then, Li Sheng and others heard five shrill screams coming from the Yin Well, and five wisps of black smoke slowly floated out of the Yin Well and then dissipated into the void.

After doing all this, Wang Defeng wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and said, "Okay, the ghost in there has been killed by me."

Li Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly asked his servants to deliver the gold ingots that had been prepared long ago. At the same time, he bowed to Wang Defeng with gratitude: "Thank you, Immortal! Thank you, Immortal! Immortal, you have eliminated this harm for my Luoxia County, which is really a great merit!"

Wang Defeng shook his head and calmly accepted the twenty taels of gold that Li Sheng presented to him. He said, "I have only done my duty as a man who has entrusted me with this task. As for the matter of that demon cultivator, you do not need to worry about it. I have already contacted my brothers and sisters in the clan to conduct a thorough investigation within a radius of three hundred miles. If the demon cultivator is found, he will be killed on the spot!"

After saying that, Wang Defeng turned around and left. Li Sheng waited until Wang Defeng disappeared from his sight before straightening his bent back.

With a fearful look at the Yinjing and the smokestone, Li Sheng ordered his servants, "Bring a few carts of soil and bury this well! I feel unlucky just looking at this thing! And that damn smokestone, I wasted a hundred taels of silver to buy this plague-inducing thing! Smash it into pieces and throw it into the moat!"

"Yes!"

……

With Wang Defeng taking dozens of meters in one step, he "flew" out of Luoxia City in full view of the public, causing countless people in the city to kneel on the spot and shout that the immortal had come to Luoxia. For a time, it even caused a traffic jam at the city gate.

On the outskirts of the city, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face and dressed like a scholar watched Wang Defeng's graceful figure disappear from his sight, with envy and jealousy in his eyes.

"Damn Taoist, you ruined my life!"

According to the scholar's plan, he only needs to wait for a few more months to harvest the fruits, and then he can try to practice the Five Ghosts Body Technique to formally enter the Tao and become the immortal that everyone yearns for.

Unexpectedly, the Li Mansion suddenly sent people out of the city last night, which made the scholar who had been secretly waiting for the Dao Fruit to mature subconsciously feel that something was wrong. So when the city gate opened the next day, he decisively left Luoxia City and hid outside the city. He just happened to witness the scene of Wang Defeng entering and leaving the city.

Seeing Wang Defeng, who could walk dozens of meters with an unrestrained aura, the scholar knew that his worries had come true. The real immortal cultivators invited by the Li family had helped, and the evil spirit-raising and ghost-raising scheme that he had worked so hard to find must have been discovered.

How hateful! Years of planning were ruined in one day, just on the eve of success. This feeling of frustration almost drove the scholar crazy!
But after calming down, the scholar began to think about his current situation.

"I can't stay in Luoxia County anymore. Those hypocrites who claim to be righteous will definitely look for me outside. I have to find a place to hide."

The scholar rolled his eyes and looked in the direction where Wang Defeng left. That seemed to be Luoxia Mountain, right?
The scholar sneered, "Warfare is the art of deception. They probably didn't expect me to go to Luoxia Mountain! When the rumors die down, I will go to other counties. The world is so big and there are so many powerful families. I don't believe that I can't find another place suitable for raising ghosts! When I achieve the status of an immortal, I will come back to settle today's affairs one by one!"

Then the scholar turned around and looked towards Luoxia City, as if he wanted to see the Li family in the city. He said viciously: "I just wanted to borrow your Yin Judi to help me achieve my destiny, but you informed others to ruin my good deeds! I ruined my years of hard work!

Just wait! When my magical power is perfected, I will use you wealthy and powerful people who are just sitting there doing nothing to sacrifice the five ghosts I raise!"

After saying these harsh words, the scholar carried his bag on his back and ran towards Luoxia Mountain at full speed.

At this time in Luoxia Mountain, Zhang Wei was taking Zhang Da and a few others along the mountain path to tour the natural scenery of Luoxia Mountain.

Although Luoxia Mountain covers an area of ​​hundreds of miles, the mountain is not very high and some places are beautiful and easy to develop, so it was not difficult for Zhang Wei to walk along the way.

As for why he is here?
Are you kidding me? Suppressing evil spirits and tracking down demonic cultivators are things that a newbie like him who has just started to practice Qi Refining can get involved in? Even if the other party is a rookie like him, who knows if the other party has any hidden cards if he goes astray?

Moreover, there was the Luoxia Temple Master who was at least in the late stage of Qi Refining. He would have seen through my little cultivation at a glance. And then he would find out that I had entered the Qi Refining realm without any spiritual roots, which would have put me in a dilemma.

So he reminded his cousin that the best strategy would be for him to find the abbot of Luoxia Temple while he himself slipped out under the pretext of sightseeing and avoiding the whirlpool.

In order to avoid meeting the masters from Luoxia Temple on the main road, he even chose a small road that deviated from the main road!
"It really is worthy of being the place where the earth's spiritual energy converges. Even if it is blocked by Wang's formation, the spiritual energy here is much higher than that in the city."

Breathing in the fresh air of the mountains and forests, Zhang Wei made up his mind to buy a piece of land in Luyang Mountain and build a villa. He would study and prepare for exams and practice in the villa under the pretext that he didn't want to be disturbed!
It’s best to be next to a waterfall so you can try hydroelectric power yourself!
"Second Master, there is a mountain temple ahead. Shall we go in and take a rest?"

At this time, Zhang Da's voice came, interrupting Zhang Wei's thoughts.
