There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 43: A sinister person asks for directions

It was dusk, and there was still a trace of warm afterglow, but now the temperature dropped suddenly, bringing a slight chill.

Only then did Lu Yue notice that the man he knocked down had a dull look in his eyes, his body was stiff, and he was carrying a briefcase, just like the man with the knife before.

Seeing that Lu Yue did not reply, the man with the briefcase continued to ask.

"Excuse me, how do I get to Qingxu Taoist Temple?"

"Walk west from here, take bus No. 10, get off after two stops, and then follow the road up the mountain." Lu Yue said with a frown.

After hearing this, the man with the briefcase took a step forward with stiff feet.

Looking at the other person's departing back, Lu Yue fell into deep thought.

This man is not a ghost, and killing living people cannot provide source energy.

The other party, like the man with the knife, was looking for trouble with the old Taoist priest.

So who is controlling this?
Before Lu Yue could think about it, another person walked towards him.

"Excuse me, how do I get to Qingxu Taoist Temple?"

Lu Yue looked up.

This is a beautiful lady carrying a makeup bag, but no matter how heavily she puts on makeup, it still cannot change the nature of her dull eyes and stiff body.

Obviously this is also a person possessed by evil spirits.

Lu Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Go south from here, there is an international airport. Buy a ticket to a foreign country and ask the staff after you land."

As soon as she finished speaking, the lady with the cosmetic bag walked straight south.

Lu Yue was a little confused. He didn't expect the other party to be so honest.

Lu Yue was not worried whether the other party could really get on the plane.

With the other party's strange appearance, he will definitely be discovered during security check, and then the people from the Demon Suppression Division will be there to deal with it.

All those who were possessed by evil spirits lost their souls.

As for the means of summoning spirits... I don’t know how.

Lu Yue continued to rush towards home, but for some reason today, he met several people who were possessed by evil spirits, and they all had the same problem.

"Excuse me, how do I get to Qingxu Taoist Temple?"

It is obvious that the old Taoist priest got into trouble for killing the heartless young man, and the mastermind behind the scenes is preparing to control these ordinary people to assassinate the old Taoist priest.

Thinking of his previous practice in the old Taoist temple, Lu Yue felt a little guilty. Since he had seen it, he couldn't just pretend it didn't happen.

"You mean the Qingxu Taoist Temple? I know. Just go in that direction and take bus No. 8. You don't need to change. Get off at the Municipal Hospital stop. Then go to the inpatient department, the old one. When you get to the door, just grab a crew-haired nurse and ask her."

"I've never heard of Qingxu Taoist Temple. So... go to the Chanyin scenic area in the city and find a master with six scars on his head. He must know about it."

"Qingxu Taoist Temple, I'm very familiar with that place. I go there often. Scan the shared bike and go north. If you see a polar bear, then you've arrived."

"..."

Along the way, at least a dozen people were possessed by evil spirits.

This method made Lu Yue a little frightened.

I was just thinking about whether I should return to Qingxu Taoist Temple to give the old Taoist priest a reminder. As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge a gun but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Even masters can take naps sometimes.

Another person was walking towards us from a distance.

Without waiting for the other party to ask, Lu Yue answered directly: "Go south from here, and you will reach the Qingxu Taoist Temple when you see the penguins."

The young man smiled and said, "I don't ask for directions?"

Lu Yue realized that this young man was different from the previous ones.

His eyes were not dull, and his body was not stiff. He was carrying a cross-body bag, but the bag was hanging in front of him, blocking his chest.

Lu Yue's eyes stayed on the other person's chest for a long time: "What do you want to ask?"

"Just now I saw you giving directions to someone. It was clearly the same place, but you pointed in different directions, so I was curious and wanted to ask."

"You have very sensitive ears." Lu Yue raised his eyebrows, and then his expression became serious: "Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with you. Have you studied geography?"

The young man frowned, he didn't understand what this had to do with geography.

"In fact, our world is a huge sphere, so it's convenient to go anywhere."

Young man: "What you said seems to make sense, but what does it have to do with me?"

"Yeah, what does my pointing the way have to do with you?"

The young man was speechless for a moment, then said something meaningful.

"It looks like you did it on purpose."

Lu Yue glanced at the time and asked, "Any questions?"

"No, I just want to borrow something from you."

"What to borrow?"

"Your heart." The young man suddenly pulled off his backpack, revealing the empty space on his chest. Half of his face was bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, while the other half was hidden in the shadow. An evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"How do you plan to pay it back? How will the interest be calculated? Do you have a guarantor? Will you sign a contract? Do you have any property to mortgage?" Lu Yue looked serious.

The young man was confused.

It seemed that he didn't expect that Lu Yue was not afraid and answered seriously.

"Everyone has difficulties. I understand. It's okay to lend you this heart, but you have to keep something. It's only fair to exchange with each other."

"What do you want from me?" the young man asked after hesitation.

"Of course I'm going to kill you!!!"

boom!
Lu Yue punched the young man in the stomach.

This young man looks somewhat similar to the Wuxin ghost who was beaten to death with three whips in the city hospital. Now everything is clear. He is obviously a relative of the previous Wuxin ghost. No wonder he said he was avenging his brother.

Lu Yue increased the intensity of his kidney energy release, and the kidney energy in his body gushed out like hot magma, corroding all the evil energy around it.

"Do you still want my heart?"

"I asked you if you want more, here you go, all of it!!!"

The hole in the young man's chest where his heart had been lost was enlarged again, and black smoke was billowing out of his chest. His whole image became extremely creepy at this moment.

It obviously didn't expect this to happen. How could this man be so creepy!

Realizing that it had encountered a tough opponent, it decisively fled in panic.

"Don't run, do you still want my heart?!!!"

Lu Yue looked fierce and strode forward to chase after him.

Today I just wanted to practice quietly, but I didn’t expect to gain something unexpected.

Old Taoist priest, this ghost will be considered as the fee for renting a place for your practice today.

Ten minutes later.

Seeing the young man entering the industrial park, Lu Yue followed him in a flash.

But there was no trace of the young man.

Lu Yue was suspicious and looked around for the young ghost.

Suddenly I noticed a dozen people standing at the intersection ahead.

These were actually the people who had been possessed and asked for directions earlier.

Didn't they go in batches to cause trouble for the old Taoist priest? How come they gathered here by such a coincidence? This is not the way to the Qingxu Taoist Temple.

And the young ghost seemed to have disappeared here.

Lu Yue thought about it for a moment.

So... he is using some means to hide among these possessed people?
Stealth?

Ghost hitting the wall?
Many thoughts came to Lu Yue's mind, and finally he thought of one thing.

"People have three souls and seven spirits. When a person is possessed by evil spirits, his soul is lost and he is in a daze. At this time, his body is very likely to be possessed by dirty things to replace the lost soul."

"So you are possessed by a ghost?"

"Not talking? Then I'll call the people from the Demon Suppression Division to confirm."

Lu Yue picked up the phone and dialed Yaoyaoling.

"No need to fight, you guessed it right."

A dozen people's low voices rang out.

"I admit that I was mistaken. I didn't expect you to be a transcendent. But we don't have any hatred, so there's no need for you to keep chasing me."

"You just wanted to borrow my heart, but you forgot so quickly?" Lu Yue said.

"Let bygones be bygones." More than a dozen people said in unison.

Lu Yue shook his head: "Some things can't be overcome."

"But didn't you just punch me and hurt me?"

"That punch can get through, but the others can't."

The corners of the mouths of more than a dozen people who were possessed by evil spirits twitched at the same time.

This is simply bandit logic!!!

Why can you let me off for punching me but not for my verbal threats? You should know that I’m the one who got hurt!!!

"Let's not talk about the previous things. I didn't run away this time because I discussed this with you in good faith."

"You can't escape." Lu Yue exposed the other party.

I chased him relentlessly, and the other party had no ability to escape from my sight.

That's why they had no choice but to choose this method in an attempt to get away with it.

"Enough. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I've been hiding in the bodies of these dozen people. If we run away separately, you can't kill us all." The young man suppressed his anger, and his voice came out from the mouths of the crowd with a hint of gloom.

"Moreover, these dozen people are alive, they just lost their souls. If you kill them by mistake, it would be the same as killing a living person. I don't think you will do that."

"Instead of both sides suffering losses, it is better for both sides to take a step back."

"I won't retreat." Lu Yue was firm.

youth:"……"

Lu Yue observed carefully and found that the aura of these dozen people was very strange, as if they were cast from the same mold and it was indeed impossible to tell them apart.

At this moment, a familiar smell entered my nose.

It’s the same fragrance from before!
Lu Yue looked around and finally locked onto the target.

The smoke in front condensed into a human shape again. It was the familiar old Taoist priest.

I was standing in front of more than a dozen people, but they acted as if I couldn't see me.

At this time, the old Taoist priest's face was as calm as water. Above his head, subtitles slowly appeared: "The dead take away the yang, the living look like dead, the ghosts possess the human body, and the living are hard to tell."

Lu Yue pondered in his heart.

This old Taoist priest is obviously an expert and a real big shot.

The other party said they couldn't tell the difference, which made things difficult.

Just as Lu Yue was about to think of other solutions, the young man's voice sounded again.

"Actually, there is a misunderstanding between us. My brother was murdered, and I came here to kill an old Taoist priest. If you let me go today, I will reward you handsomely one day."

Lu Yue was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the old Taoist priest.

The subtitles above the old Taoist priest’s head refreshed again.

"The second one on the left is possessed by a ghost. Kill him."

Lu Yue: “…”

"Have you thought about it?"

"I've thought about it..."

The young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next second, Lu Yue's voice came to his ear again.

"I've figured out how to kill you!!!"
