195, Ghost

On the day of the Xuanmen Exchange Conference, Yan Chu put on the Taoist robe he wore when he came down from the mountain, but because his hair was cut short, he didn't look as ethereal as before, and had a bit more dust.

Before leaving, he told the little ghost girl Lin Yuan to stay in the jade pendant all day and not come out, and then put the jade pendant inside his inner clothes. Others could only see the red rope tied around his neck, but couldn't see what he was wearing around his neck.

Yan Chu was not worried that someone would be able to discover Lin Yuan's existence at the exchange conference. The salvation spell almost washed away all the ghost energy on her body, and her soul was incomplete, so her presence was originally small. I'm afraid that even if the ancestor was reborn, he wouldn't be able to sense her if Lin Yuan didn't show up on her own initiative.

If Lin Yuan went, Lin Yang would definitely follow. As for Yu Yu and Cheng Yuanyuan, they suddenly called before leaving and said they were going with their elders at home.

Xuanmen and powerful families have always been inseparable. Cultivation requires a lot of money. Therefore, every Xuanmen exchange conference will have many wealthy people. This is not only a grand event for people in Xuanmen to exchange their skills and experiences, but also a grand event for those wealthy people to understand which real Tianshis have emerged in Xuanmen.

This exchange conference was held in Lan Province. As the Yu family and Cheng family are well-known families in Lan Province, they were naturally invited.

Yan Chu and Lin Yang had no means of transportation, so they took a taxi to the venue of this conference, the largest star-rated hotel in Lan Province, Lilan Tiandu.

"Do you think Xiaoyuan should stay somewhere else?"

Sitting in the taxi, Lin Yang said silently, his eyes staring straight at Yan Chu's chest.

The driver sitting in the driver's seat saw Lin Yang's fiery eyes through the rearview mirror, and sighed that good-looking men these days are all gay, so he retracted his gaze, fearing that he would see something he shouldn't see later.

"It's safe this way."

Yan Chu didn't understand why Lin Yang said this. Lin Yuan had been in the jade pendant for more than ten years. She had already merged with the jade pendant and could not be easily separated.

The two people were not talking about the same problem, but when it came to safety, Lin Yang was silent. Now his sister still had half of her soul, and he was grateful to God. He couldn't lose this half before the other half was found.

He silently told himself in his heart that his sister was just a ghost and Yan Chu couldn't take advantage of her. However, seeing that the position of the jade pendant was probably close to Yan Chu's chest, Lin Yang still felt a little uncomfortable and could only force himself to turn his head away and calm his mind.

It's not that Yan Chu doesn't care. When you get used to having a little ghost lying next to you every time you open your eyes, and she wants to sneak in when you go to the toilet to take a shower, compared with the previous few things, just wearing the jade pendant that shelters her close to your body is already a matter of no concern.

*****

The guests who came today were all well-known figures in Lan Province, and the banquet hall they booked was naturally the largest and most luxurious Peony Hall in Lilan Tiandu.

The etiquette at the door checked the invitations of each customer. When it was Lin Yang's turn, Yan Chu said directly: "This is my male companion."

"Male companion, huh? Uh, okay."

The etiquette lady was stunned, looked at Yan Chu suspiciously, and remembered what kind of people the manager said were coming today. She lowered her head and respectfully invited them in.

What metaphysical knowledge is a lie in the eyes of ordinary people, but there are also many powerful people present today. No matter which of them she offends, her job will be over.

When Yan Chu and Lin Yang entered, the banquet hall was already very lively. Before, Lin Yang was wondering if Yan Chu's dress was too much, but looking at the strange clothes in the room, as if afraid that others would think he was simple, the "celestial masters", suddenly felt that Yan Chu's simple Taoist robe dress was already very restrained.

Especially some of them, with colorful cloth bags hanging on their bodies, their hair braided into strands, and they didn't know how long it had been since they washed, they looked crazy.

There were also a few people dressed in exotic clothes, with most of their arms bare, and the beads on their necks looked a bit weird, just like skeletons.

Of course, the most important thing is that these people are ugly.

Lin Yang clicked his tongue, he thought that all the people in Xuanmen were people like Yan Chu.

However, there are exceptions, such as an old man surrounded by stars at the banquet.

The silk silver-white Tang suit is noble and restrained, with white hair. Although there are many wrinkles on his face, it is as white as jade, without the mottled and dull skin of the old man. The noble and eye-catching but gentle aura around him made him the focus of the scene.

"Little Heavenly Master."

As soon as Yan Chu appeared, Cheng Yuanyuan, who had been staring at the door, saw him immediately.

At this time, the Yu family and the Cheng family were on the left and right sides of the old man. Cheng Yuanyuan shouted to Yan Chu, and the people around her naturally followed her gaze and looked at Yan Chu, including the old man who had always been calm and seemed to be detached from the world.

"This is the young man who made the talisman. As expected, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. His future is immeasurable."

Xiao Yan laughed and was happy that Xuanmen had such a descendant.

Such a famous master was almost like an ordinary old man at this moment. He looked at Yan Chu with a kind and close look. Compared with the old Taoist with a cold temperament, he was more like an elder who watched Yan Chu grow up, making people have an impulse to get close to him and confide in him.

"Master Yan, this is Mr. Xiao, who is also the president of this Xuanmen Exchange Conference."

Yu Cheng introduced Yan Chu. He had not made up his mind before whether to ask Mr. Xiao to help, because once he did so, he would definitely offend Yan Chu, a capable Tianshi.

The Xuanmen people are treacherous, and it is hard to guarantee that Yan Chu will hold a grudge against them and secretly attack them. Therefore, Yu Cheng thought about it again and again, and decided not to make plans for the time being, and wait for this Xuanmen Exchange Conference to test Yan Chu's true ability before making a decision.

For his son Yu Yu, Yu Cheng is also worried about his heart. If the things he is doing now are not good, he will have to suffer on both sides, but who can blame the other side for his son's life, so he can only be careful.

However, before Yan Chu came, Old Xiao had already tested the talisman hanging on Yu Yu's neck because he was curious about it. The result proved that it was indeed a high-quality magic weapon. As a result, Yu Cheng trusted Yan Chu a little more and regretted his unnecessary behavior these days.

As soon as Yan Chu came, he couldn't wait to introduce him to Master Xiao Yan. How many people in the Xuanmen wanted a chance to talk to Xiao Yan but couldn't get it. I think Yan Chu should be happy that he did so.

It was also Yu Cheng who made a common sense mistake, confusing Yan Chu with the ordinary cultivators present, thinking that the other party should be as excited as fans seeing their idols when seeing Xiao Yan. In this way, the other party might ignore his little actions these days.

In fact, Yan Chu really didn't care much about his behavior these days. In addition to being the chairman of Yu's, he was also a father. As a father, it was understandable that he made more detailed preparations and plans for his children.

After all, he was not an orthodox Xuanmen cultivator, and he didn't really care about some of the tacit unspoken rules of Xuanmen.

"I didn't know that we have such a young talent like you in Xuanmen. I don't know who your master is."

Xiao Yan looked at Yan Chu with gentleness and kindness, not putting on a condescending attitude because of his current status.

"The master is unknown in Xuanmen, and does not allow young people to act under his name outside."

Before leaving, the old Taoist said that although he had little involvement with the secular Xuanmen in this life, he still had a few mortal enemies. Most of those mortal enemies were old bastards. If they really compared their abilities, the original body's extraordinary talent might not necessarily lose, but the original body had a fatal flaw, which was experience.

The old Taoist's enemies were all already alive and well, with endless means. How could Yan Chu deal with them? Therefore, before going down the mountain, the old Taoist told him not to say that he had any relationship with him. If he was entangled by those old bastards who came to smell the fishy smell, it would be troublesome.

Although masters with similar abilities to the old Taoist may not necessarily lose face to argue with a junior like Yan Chu, it is better to avoid these avoidable troubles.

Yan Chu's refusal was seen by the people around as being ungrateful. He missed such a good opportunity to talk to Old Xiao, so he might as well give it to someone else.

"Since you don't want to talk, forget it."

There were whispers of discussion around, but Xiao Yan himself was not angry. He praised Yan Chu a few more words and left the banquet hall on the pretext of being tired.

In this Xuanmen Exchange Conference, he was actually a mascot and would not participate too much. His age was there, and everyone expressed understanding. No one said anything about his leaving not long after the banquet started.

"How old is that Master Xiao?"

Lin Yang couldn't help asking Yan Chu. Seeing his white hair, he should be quite old, but looking at his skin, it was really impossible to judge his age. Is this the ability of a cultivator?

"Ninety-six."

Yan Chu's answer surprised Lin Yang. There are not many people who are so energetic at such an old age. Especially his skin, which looks a little younger than that of an old man in his fifties or sixties.

Looking around, the Tianshi who came to participate in this Xuanmen Exchange Conference seemed to be around thirty or forty years old. Those younger than this have not yet reached the peak of their practice, and those older than this are deeply troubled by the five disadvantages and three deficiencies plus karma, and it is difficult for them to live long.

□□A ten-year-old man is not uncommon in today's medical and living conditions, but in Xuanmen, he is really a national treasure. It's no wonder that Lin Yuan is surprised. Xiao Yan is really a "smart" person.

*****

In the dark room, talisman paper is pasted everywhere, without any gaps, but these talisman papers are different from the talismans drawn with cinnabar that I have seen before. They are too red, with a faint light, and rich as if they can flow.

The room was very empty. There was only an altar in the middle of the huge room, surrounded by red lines. In the middle was a large black urn, which was constantly shaking. It seemed that there was something alive inside, but it was suppressed and could not come out.

"Eighteen years ago, two ignorant people ruined my good deeds. After so many years, another newborn calf came out who was not afraid of tigers. Hehehe."

The room was opened, and a beam of light rarely shone into the dark room. It seemed that the black urn was sensing the existence of the beam of light. The frequency and amplitude of the shaking became larger, and the things inside seemed to be able to break out of the jar at any time.

"Hongnu, Hongnu, I have carefully cultivated you for so many years. Before you completely disappear, do one more good thing for me."

The room was closed again, and as those words finished, the lid of the big black urn suddenly opened, and a dark red shadow filled the entire house, accompanied by ghostly screams and a strong blood evil aura.

*****

The first day of the Taoist Exchange Conference is just a process of eating and drinking. The real highlight is in the next seven days. Any monk who is invited and participates in the exchange meeting for the first time will participate in the triennial Taoist Neibi by default. player.

Every Xuanmen exchange conference will hold a competition, either placing the contestants in a famous haunted house, or placing the contestants on a deserted mountain and island where formations have been set up in advance...

The competition items of each exchange conference are different. The winning contestants will not only receive high-grade magic tools provided by the Xuanmen Mutual Aid Association, but it will also be an opportunity for some young monks to stand out.

Anyone who gets the top ranking will surely have a steady stream of business in the coming year. The wealthy businessmen participating in this exchange conference may become his customers.

Since Yan Chu came to participate and it was his first time to participate in an exchange meeting, he was naturally no exception and wanted to participate in this competition.

The competition this time is a little different from the past. The requirement is to take two ordinary people and spend seven days on a desert island. You can choose to give up halfway, and someone will naturally send them out safely when the time comes.

Yan Chu chose to take Lin Yang and Yu Yu with him. Cheng Yuanyuan was a girl after all. There were many inconveniences in staying with him on a desert island for seven days.

It's just that the little girl's curiosity was too strong. When Yan Chu rejected her, she moved the elders of the Cheng family to smooth the relationship and let a female monk take her with her. In this way, everyone Get together.

Yan Chu was relieved when he saw this. He was betting that the girl was curious about the Xuanmen exchange meeting. If he had brought her, Lin Yang or Yu Yu with him, he was not sure that the two of them would be able to do it. I figured out a way to follow him.

The man's seventh sense told him that something would happen to Nebi this time. Rather than letting Cheng Yuanyuan stay in a place where he couldn't take care of her, it would be better to let her go to Nebi this time.

*****

Before the start of the competition, each player has three days of preparation time. During this period, you can collect as many spells and magic weapons as possible. These foreign objects are also a type of strength. Yan Chu has a lot of things on his hands. These three He spent all his time studying numerology.

"Six Yin Man."

Yan Chu held the compass and kept calculating. Not to mention, he really asked him to figure out a problem.

As we all know, the yin energy is the strongest on the day of the lunar eclipse, which is what Lin Yuan reminded Yan Chu when he told the story of his childhood in order to awaken Lin Yuan's memory.

Although the two were twins, they were born more than two hours apart. When Lin Yuan was born, it coincided with a total lunar eclipse. In other words, in addition to her six-yin female destiny, she had one more yin.

The same is true for Yu Yu. What's more important is that the day when his car accident happened was also a lunar day. In other words, all this was planned by someone as he guessed.

The six yin destiny plus the double yin day are to combine evil spirits to create the most yin and evil ghosts.

But if this is just the case, Yan Chu feels that it doesn't work. In this case, what is the destiny of Cheng Yuanyuan, a six-yang girl, for? Is it just a coincidence in her previous life, and her death was just an accident?

Another point that is more troublesome for Yan Chu is that he does not know the original horoscope.

People in Xuanmen care more about their horoscopes than ordinary people, and they are also careful to prevent others from knowing about them and using them to cast curses and murder.

The original body's parents were originally from Taoism, so they naturally paid attention to this. The original body was born at home, and the original body's father delivered the baby. Therefore, except for the couple, no one knew the original body's exact horoscope, and the original body was born at home. The original person's parents had died fourteen years ago, and the original person's horoscope had become a complete mystery.

Now, all he knows is the birth date of the original person, but he cannot accurately predict the time. However, based only on the calculation of the year, month and day, he has gathered the three Yangs, plus the place of birth and the old house of the Yan family. It is the body of the Four Yangs.

A bold guess is that he may not be the missing six-yang man.

In other words, the unknown being didn't just want to refine the devil when he killed Lin Yuan and Yu Yu. He might have another purpose.

But what kind of witchcraft are the six yin women, six yin men, six yang women, and six yang men, plus the two yin days in the moon, for?

The life chart in front of him had been marked in a mess. Yan Chu felt that he was very close to the truth, just a little bit close, but which important clue was missing?

What exactly was he ignoring? Yan Chu frowned and thought hard.

While he was troubled, he felt a chill on his back and immediately turned sideways to avoid it.

Like a dream, the rich blood-evil gas filled the entire nasal cavity, accompanied by a strong rancid smell that made people almost nauseous.

Yan Chu turned around, and saw a red and black aura at the top of the ceiling that was so rich that it couldn't be dispersed. The figure of a person was faintly revealed, and the other person was standing upside down on the top.

When he turned around, what he faced was a pair of black hole-like eyes and a cheek that was covered with rotting flesh and sunken like bones.

"Bad boy, I found you again, hehehehe——"

A high-pitched voice sounded from his ears, and Yan Chu's pupils shrank. It was the voice in his dream.
