Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 132 Changes after two years
"Qiu Sheng!"

In Tan Baiwan's house, the table was already set up, and a young man wearing a yellow Taoist robe and holding a peach wood sword appeared. It was Qiu Sheng.

"Junior brother!"

When Qiu Sheng saw Li Kunshan walking in, his eyes widened and his face was full of surprise.

"you……"

Everyone in the Tan family looked at the two of them and blinked.

"know?"

"Tell me this way."

Qiu Sheng pulled Li Kunshan aside and whispered.

"This is my first business deal since my debut. Considering I've taken the blame for you so many times in the past, please give me some space."

"Look at what you said, Senior Brother. How can I compete with you for it?"

"Brothers!"

"But there might really be a ghost here. Can you handle it?"

"Don't worry."

Qiu Sheng patted his Taoist robe, looking very proud.

"The real thing. My own."

"Brother, are you..."

"Hehe, I also received the talisman during this year's Ghost Festival."

"Congratulations, senior brother!"

"Congratulations later, let's make money first."

Qiu Sheng patted Li Kunshan on the shoulder, turned around, cleared his throat and said to Tan Baiwan.

"We have agreed that I will be the one to catch this ghost."

"Who of you two is better?"

"Don't worry, Master Tan. My senior brother is a legitimate Maoshan Taoist priest. He can easily capture a mere little ghost."

Li Kunshan smiled and continued.

"And since I'm here, I might as well be your assistant. Just to be clear, there's no extra charge."

"Okay, okay, let's do it!"

Hearing that there was no charge, Tan Baiwan nodded quickly.

Originally I only wanted to invite one person, but now I only charge one price for two people. This kind of bargain is hard to find, so there is no reason to refuse.

According to Tan Baiwan, the house was built just one year ago, but during this year, the whole family, young and old, woke up on the ground every morning and were moved out of bed by ghosts every night.

Li Kunshan came here after seeing the notice, originally intending to look for the Red Robe Fire Ghost. However, after arriving at the Tan family and understanding the situation, he realized he had come to the wrong place.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the opening plot of the movie Mr. Spooky, the family of ghosts that Mao Shanming encountered.

It’s wrong, it’s wrong. It’s a ghost anyway, so just take it.

Unexpectedly, Mao Shanming didn't come, but met Qiu Sheng instead.

What was even more unexpected was that Qiu Sheng had also been ordained.

"First courtesy, then force. Listen carefully, evil spirits inside. I am a disciple of Mount Mao. If you know what's good for you, surrender immediately!"

Qiu Sheng held a magic sword and performed a few tricks, then shouted into the main hall.

Bang~!

As soon as he finished speaking, all the doors and windows that were originally open were closed.

"Oh, you don't know how to appreciate my kindness, huh!"

Qiu Sheng snorted coldly, first opened his eyes with pomelo leaves, then held the magic sword and Bagua mirror, and walked into the house.

The ghosts in the movie weren't evil, but just in case, Li Kunshan still followed along.

Woohoo~!

As soon as I entered the house, a cold wind suddenly rose up, and along with the smoke, a female ghost appeared.

"Ouch! The ghost is coming out!"

Everyone in the Tan family was in the yard, so frightened that they hid in panic.

After a moment, he stuck his head out again and couldn't help but look into the house curiously.

"If you really dare to come out, then don't go back."

Qiu Sheng shouted, and without further ado, he raised his peach wood sword and rushed forward.

Li Kunshan frowned slightly. Why was he so reckless without even asking the reason first?

In fact, the Tan family's house was built on the grave of a female ghost's family. The ghosts in this family were oppressed and felt uncomfortable, which caused unrest in the Tan family's house.

But since the fight has already started, it doesn’t matter who is right or wrong.

In short, as a ghost, running to the world of the living will disrupt yin and yang, and this is what the Zhengyi sect is responsible for.

Li Kunshan was circling on the side with his hands behind his back. In fact, he quietly took out talisman paper and formed a talisman array to block all directions to prevent the female ghost from escaping back to the underworld.

"Ouch~!"

The talisman formation had just been set up when there was a scream and Qiu Sheng was knocked away.

"Kunshan! Don't just watch, help!"

Rubbing his butt and getting up, Qiu Sheng shouted to Li Kunshan.

"it is good."

Li Kunshan responded and raised his hand to throw out a soul-calming talisman.

Thinking it was the half-baked talisman paper drawn by Qiu Sheng, the female ghost snorted coldly and blocked it directly with her robe sleeve.

Bang~!

Little did she know that Li Kunshan's soul-calming talisman had been cultivated to the sixth level, which was far beyond the ability of a little ghost like her to resist.

When the talisman paper touched the ghost, the ghost energy exploded and directly knocked the female ghost away.

"This one is so powerful, I can't afford to offend him!"

The female ghost fell to the ground and looked at Li Kunshan who was about to come over with fear on her face.

He covered his face with his sleeves and was about to flee back to the underworld.

"Ah~!"

But the next moment, yellow light flashed around and directly blocked her back.

The female ghost flew up and looked at the talismans that were pasted everywhere and had trapped her, and her face became panicked.

"Haha~! There's no way you can escape now."

Qiu Sheng widened his eyes, looking excited, and then shouted to Li Kunshan.

"Junior brother! Take him in!"

"it is good."

Li Kunshan didn't say anything more. He controlled the peach wood sword and flew it up and down. After a few rounds, he knocked the female ghost to the ground.

"Take it~!"

He chanted the soul-calling spell, used the third level of supernatural power to capture the soul, and forcibly detained the female ghost into the wine jar, and sealed her mouth with a soul-calming talisman.

"It's done."

"Give it to me."

Qiu Sheng took the Ghost Sealing Altar, walked out with a happy face, and said to Tan Baiwan.

"You saw it, the ghost has been taken away."

"I see, I see. The Taoist priest is indeed very powerful."

"That's natural, but I..."

"Thank you, Taoist Priest!"

Qiu Sheng looked very proud, but before he could finish his words, Tan Baiwan and others passed him by and went to meet Li Kunshan.

"This time, I was able to capture the ghost, thanks to the Taoist priest."

"Mr. Tan, you're welcome."

"This is just a small token of respect."

Tan Baiwan smiled widely and took out a silver note worth one thousand taels and handed it to Li Kunshan.

According to the current market price, the exchange rate between silver notes and silver dollars is fifty to one, which is twenty silver dollars.

"Thank you."

Li Kunshan smiled, took it and put it in his arms.

Qiu Sheng curled his lips and sighed helplessly. It was originally his business, but in the end it fell into Li Kunshan's hands.

But he was used to it. Having an excellent junior brother meant he had to go through all these things, and he got used to it after doing it many times.

"Give me my daughter back!"

"Let my sister go!"

Just as we were about to finish work, there was a sudden roar in the house, accompanied by gusts of cold wind.

A group of ghosts showed their heads, and they were the ghost girl's family.

"besides!"

Seeing so many ghosts, Qiu Sheng, who was just regretting his poor performance, suddenly had his eyes brightened and was about to rush forward.

"Forget about them."

Yes, there is a family of ghosts living down here, and there is more than just one female ghost.

It just so happened that the talisman formation was still there. Li Kunshan's face darkened and he raised the talisman formation again, ready to capture the entire family.

“So many talismans!”

"This Taoist priest is so powerful!"

"Run!"

"I don't want a granddaughter anymore!"

Seeing the talisman formation rising, the ghosts panicked and turned around and went back.

They had not completely stretched out their bodies, and therefore had not completely fallen into the talisman formation, so they were naturally not trapped.

"Running so fast?"

Li Kunshan frowned, thinking that he was too anxious. It would be better to take action a little later and wait until they came out completely.

Now that he has fled back to the underworld, there is nothing he can do.

"Haha~! It's finally my turn to show off."

Qiu Sheng suddenly laughed out loud twice and ran back to the altar.

Holding the magic sword, he began to perform the ritual.

After a series of fancy moves, he raised a yellow talisman and shouted, "Come quickly!"

Recruiting generals?

Yes, Qiu Sheng has also been granted the ordination certificate and can command the heavenly soldiers and generals.

But I don’t know what kind of priesthood he was ordained.

"Sir Cheng Yilang, what is the matter that summoned us here?"

The next moment, four ghost messengers appeared. It seemed that Qiu Sheng was also granted a priesthood in the underworld.

Chengyilang is a sixth-rank official, the same as Li Kunshan. It seems that Qiu Sheng is lucky in this ordination.

It is still daytime and the ghost messengers cannot be exposed to the sun. In the room, four ghost messengers saluted Qiu Sheng.

"Is that a ghost messenger? Ouch~!"

Seeing the ghost appear, everyone in the Tan family was shocked again.

This is different from a simple ghost, it's a god!
Then he looked at Qiu Sheng with a look of panic on his face.

I thought he was just a young boy, but I didn't expect he was so capable.

It was this kind of gaze that made Qiu Sheng raise his head slightly, feeling greatly pleased, and then he put his hands on his hips and spoke.

"I'm catching ghosts now. Those little ghosts are no match for me. They've fled back to the underworld. You guys go look for them."

"This is the matter."

Several of the ghost messengers winked and laughed.

"Master Chengyilang, look at this..."

"Why are you talking so much when I asked you to find a ghost?"

Qiu Sheng shouted, interrupting the ghost messenger, then hurried into the room and whispered to the four ghost messengers.

"I know the rules. I'm Lin Fengjiao's apprentice, so how can I be without you? In front of my employer and my fellow apprentice, don't try to embarrass me!"

"clear."

The four ghost messengers seemed to understand what he meant and then bowed in a pretentious manner.

"I will obey."

The next moment, the four ghost messengers disappeared and went to the underworld to investigate.

"Just wait, they'll catch you in a moment."

Qiu Sheng said to Tan Baiwan with a confident look on his face.

Tan Baiwan's face turned pale with fright and he nodded continuously.

After dozens of minutes, the four ghost messengers came back.

"How about it."

"No."

The ghost spread his hands, looking helpless.

"We searched everywhere, but we couldn't find the ghost family you mentioned, sir."

"How could there not be any? They live right down here!"

"There's a haunted house down there, but there's no ghost inside."

"Did he run away?"

Qiu Sheng frowned and was puzzled again.

"How could it run so fast? Have you looked around carefully?"

"Then we don't know. Bye."

"Hey! Don't leave!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the ghost messenger had already gone back, leaving Qiu Sheng standing there with an embarrassed look on his face.

Not found again?

Li Kunshan next to him couldn't help but frown, and the red-robed fire ghost did the same thing before.

Is it a simple coincidence, or a trick of fate, or some other reason?

"Hey, tell me! Where are all the ghosts hiding in your house?"

Qiu came back angrily and slammed the ghost-sealing altar hard.

"Hmph! You ask me, but who should I ask? A bunch of heartless people, they left me and ran away!"

In the jar, the female ghost not only refused to cooperate, but was also full of complaints and resentment.

It looks like there's nothing we can do.

"This……"

Tan Baiwan looked at Li Kunshan, then at Qiu Sheng, with a sad face.

"Now the ghost has run away, what if it comes back again?"

"Okay."

Qiu Sheng blinked and said with a smile.

"If the ghost comes again, then you can find us again."

"what?"

"gone."

While Tan Baiwan was still not reacting, Qiu Sheng called out to Li Kunshan.

Quickly packed up and left the Tan Mansion.

"Go quickly, Master misses you!"

Looking back, Qiu Sheng saw that no one was catching up with him. He breathed a sigh of relief and urged again.

"it is good."

Li Kunshan nodded, curious again.

"By the way, Senior Brother, since you have already been ordained, why are you still in Renjia Town?"

"Master said that I was lucky to be ordained, but in fact my cultivation is not enough. He asked me to follow him for another year and hone my skills before I can become a master."

"so."

Li Kunshan curled his lips. He was not treated like this at the beginning.

As soon as he was granted the ordination certificate, he was eager to start his apprenticeship.

I have to say, the crying child gets the milk.

The two chatted as they walked and didn't feel the road was long. They returned to Renjia Town that night.

"Master, we are back."

After entering the charity cemetery, Qiu Sheng shouted and went into the house with Li Kunshan.

"How was it this time? How much did you earn? As agreed before, you should give me a share as an introduction fee... Kunshan."

In the main room, Uncle Jiu was sitting on a recliner, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan and feeling drowsy. Suddenly, he saw Li Kunshan coming in with Qiu Sheng. His eyes widened instantly and he was startled.

"Why are you back?"

"Wow! Junior brother, you're back! That's great!"

Wencai, who was in the inner room, heard the noise and hurried out to see Li Kunshan with a happy face.

"Master, I am sorry to disappoint you."

Li Kunshan put the things down and walked forward to salute solemnly.

Then, he gave a brief account of his experiences over the past two years and how he broke his vow two months earlier.

"So that's it."

After listening, Uncle Jiu nodded slightly.

"Things have their priorities. If you are so pedantic and disregard your friends' lives, you will lose the fundamentals of your practice. You are right to do so."

"Thank you, Master, for your understanding."

"Well, actually it's only two months early, so it doesn't matter."

Uncle Jiu waved his hand and said another sentence.

"It would be nice to come back earlier."

"Yes, we all miss you. And Tingting has been asking if you're back."

Wencai echoed from the side with a very innocent look on his face.

After not seeing each other for nearly two years, the four masters and apprentices chatted for more than an hour.

"How's the deal going?"

Only at this time did he remember Qiu Sheng, and Uncle Jiu asked again.

"We caught a female ghost, and a family of ghosts ran away."

Qiu Sheng looked frustrated and recounted what had happened.

Uncle Jiu's face turned serious and he snorted coldly as a lesson.

"I told you long ago to set up the talisman formation in advance, but you didn't listen. Look, now there's a problem!"

"No, the talisman array is very difficult. I just copied a few randomly and put them up, but the effect is not good."

Qiu Sheng muttered something and then continued.

"I also immediately summoned the ghost officials, but they didn't put in any effort and didn't catch the ghosts. I even mentioned your name, but they didn't even bother to give me any respect."

"By the way, Master, I was just about to tell you."

Immediately afterwards, Li Kunshan recounted the story of the red-robed fire ghost.

Uncle Jiu is the boss of the underworld bank, a fourth-rank priest, and has a say over the judge.

"Master, you need to talk to the underworld. These ghost messengers really need to be disciplined."

"Maybe it's not that I didn't make any effort, it's that I really didn't find it."

"How is that possible? They are the evil messengers!"

"It's true that it was caused by the underworld, but those ghosts may not have fled to the underworld."

"That's even more wrong. I've looked carefully and that ghost is definitely not in the world of the living."

"Yes, it is a place that belongs neither to the living world nor to the underworld."

Uncle Jiu said with a serious expression and took a deep breath.

"Between yin and yang, there is a boundary between yin and yang!"

"Yin Yang Realm?!"

Hearing this name, Qiu Sheng and Wencai looked at each other, scratched their heads and looked confused, while Li Kunshan frowned.

Could it be the Yin and Yang world that he knew? If so, this would be troublesome.
