Deep in the mountains and forests, it was extremely quiet. The moonlight in the sky was also covered by the clouds, almost unable to shine on the ground.
"Dead people rush on, living people are not allowed to enter."
After the incident just now, the four-eyed Taoist priest obediently rang the bell and chased the corpses away. Lin Kaiyun was not idle. He met lonely ghosts along the way and sent them to the underworld, earning a lot of merit points.
They had been walking for several hours now, and it should be dawn soon. However, the two of them had yet to encounter a corpse-transporting inn.
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed sighed helplessly.
"Sigh, corpse-herding has really declined. It's not even easy to find a corpse-herding inn now!”
Hearing this, Lin Kaiyun said," Uncle-Master, didn't we pass by a town just now? It's not too late to go back now."”
An hour ago, they passed by a town, but they deliberately avoided it.
"No!"
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed shook his head and refused decisively." Kai Yun, the rule of corpse herding is to stay away from living people.”
Lin Kaiyun spread his hands and said expressionlessly," Then we can only sleep in the cave!”
"Haha, I knew that our ancestor wouldn't let us wander in the cave.”
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed suddenly laughed out loud. He pointed at a small temple in front of him and said," Kaiyun, there's a temple in front of you. You can stay here for the time being at dawn!"”
The two of them quickly came to the front of the temple. Laozi was worshiped inside. It seemed to have been abandoned for many years. The wooden frames were somewhat rotten, and one of the walls had collapsed.
Lin Kaiyun looked around and looked at the four eyes." Uncle-Master, the ancients said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.”
"Even if it's dangerous, I don't want to be blown by the wind.”
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed rang the bell and jumped into the temple with the zombie.
"That makes sense!" Lin Kaiyun nodded and immediately followed.
The three walls formed an angle, which was suitable for shelter from the wind and shade. The four-eyed Taoist priest rang the bell and led the zombie to the back of the statue. He patted the dust on the zombie and said," Brothers, let's rest for a day and continue our journey at night.”
Lin Kaiyun took out two incense sticks and stuck them into the cracks of the bricks under his feet. Then, he bowed to his father.
Although Mao Mountain originated from the Three Maos Divine Lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty and belonged to the orthodox Talisman School, Daoism came from the same school, so they would naturally worship Laozi when they saw him.
"Sigh, it's not just corpse herding. The entire Daoist sect has fallen into desolation. I wonder if there will still be Daoist priests in a few decades.”
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed saw that even his father's incense could only be inserted in the cracks of the bricks. He shook his head and sighed. Then, he walked out." Kaiyun, I'm going out to relieve myself. You should rest first!"”
Lin Kaiyun walked to a corner, pulled out some dry grass from the side, spread it on the ground, and sat cross-legged.
He didn't know whether Daoist Priest Four-Eyed went out to relieve himself or sighed to the sky.
However, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed was right. If things developed normally, there would indeed be no other Daoist priests like them in a few decades.
Lin Kaiyun closed his eyes and started to circulate Mao Mountain's core technique, Mao Code.
Mao Mountain was a talisman sect. The External Elixir Sect and the Internal Elixir Sect were different.
The External Elixir Sect was led by the Celestial Master's Residence of Mount Longhu. It was actually a Golden Elixir. It used the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth as the main source, supplemented by cultivation techniques, to form a Golden Elixir in the body. With the Golden Elixir as the core, it sought immortality.
The Inner Elixir Sect was led by the Quanzhen Sect. They used the body as the alchemy furnace, combining heaven, man, and essence to nurture their own soul. The internal organs were in the body, and the three souls and seven spirits were in the shape of the spirit. Heaven and man were one, and Yin and Yang were dependent on each other. Their soul was extremely powerful. According to legends, when one cultivated to a certain realm, their soul could leave the body and live forever.
Mao Mountain was a talisman sect. When it was founded, it used talismans to save the common people. It did not seek longevity for the Taoist priests, but for the common people to be safe. It began to treat the sick and save people, and then exorcised evil spirits. The qi in the bodies of the disciples of Mao Mountain could be attached to the talismans, making them extremely powerful.
In addition to these sects, there was also the School of Numerancy. These were the more mysterious branches that were good at deducing the five elements and modifying the eight trigrams.
Lin Kaiyun started to cultivate. Ever since the last time he was in Ren Tingting's room, the Profound Yin Sutra had brought him great benefits.
First of all, the energy in his body was almost able to break through to the fourth rank (Body Refinement into Qi). Moreover, his body was not afraid of ice and could even use some ice abilities.
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed's energetic voice came from outside the temple.
"Kai Yun, Kai Yun, come out quickly. I found a good place.”
Lin Kaiyun opened his eyes, got up, and walked out. He bumped into the four-eyed Taoist priest who had run back. He asked," Uncle-Master, what's wrong? You're so unsettled!"
"I can't stay calm anymore!" Daoist Priest Four-Eyed was panting from exhaustion. He held his knees and panted," I found an inn. We'll put the zombie here, then go over and eat something and take a shower.”
When he fell into the deep pit, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed was trampled by zombies. There was a strange smell on his body, and he wanted to take a bath even in his dreams.
"An inn?" Lin Kaiyun frowned and asked curiously," Why is there an inn in this deep forest? Will there be any problems?"
"Who cares! If it was an evil, it would be good for the people to get rid of it. Moreover, it was broad daylight, so how could there be ghosts or something like that?”
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed didn't say anything else. He pulled Lin Kaiyun along and left the inn.
The inn was located in an empty area, but there were no roads on either side. It was a two-story building. The first floor was for eating, and the second floor was for lodging.
The roof was covered with red tiles, and smoke rose from the kitchen chimneys. There were many diners inside, and the busy shouts of the waiters could be heard from afar.
Although it looked strange, there was nothing wrong with it.
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed sniffed his own clothes, and his face was filled with disgust. He said," Let's go, Kaiyun. I'm going to get a room. I'm so smelly now."”
"Wait, Martial Uncle, let's open our eyes and take a look!”
Lin Kaiyun stretched out his hand and drew two Eye Opening Talismans in the air. He used one of them and the other flew to Daoist Priest Four-Eyed.
After the four-eyed Daoist priest grabbed it, he crushed the eye-opening talisman.
"This is?"
One would not know if they did not look, but they were shocked when they saw it. This was still the lively and prosperous inn from before. The house did not change at all, but the faint smoke from the kitchen had turned into a soaring ghost qi.
The customers inside were all evil ghosts. Some had green faces and fangs, some were rotten and festered, some were incomplete and bloody. The most disgusting thing was that the dishes they ate were all maggots with broken limbs, sticky and disgusting.
"Hey, the two of you, if you're not going in, make way. Don't block the door!”
An unfriendly voice came from behind.
He turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a huge sword on his back. There were two young men following behind him.
When the middle-aged man saw the Taoist robes on Lin Kaiyun and Daoist Priest Four-Eyed, he took a step forward and asked," Are the two Taoist priests from Mao Mountain?”
