Chapter 100 Haunted
For the next five days, everything was peaceful. The power of the vows from the Deyang Wu Temple grew very fast, reaching a peak on the third day and gradually declining thereafter, but Li Wuxiang carefully weighed it and realized that the power of the incense and vows stolen from the Taiyi statue in one day was equivalent to what he would gain from breathing and regulating his breath alone for half a year.

According to this progress, it would probably only take another month for me to start preparing the materials needed for the small realm of "Refining Qi into Spirit".

Becoming a Qing Nang Immortal and stealing the power of vows is such a useful method, why don't many people do it? This question made Li Wuxiang a little worried... Is it because they don't have the Golden Chanzi? Zeng Jianqiu once said that if you become a ghost immortal, your realm cultivation will stagnate.

But what is the origin of the Golden Chanzi and why is it so magical?
Apart from this, there is another thing which is not really a worry.

The day after Cheng Peixin invited the door god to come down, he found out that many families in the city were also unable to leave their homes.

According to Cheng Peixin, the purpose of inviting the door gods was to trap the soul of Xu Daosheng who would return on the seventh day. But if other families in Deyang City happened to pray for the protection of the door gods before or after inviting the door gods, the true spirit would also descend on those families.

If this kind of divine power works, it can't be abandoned at will, and it will naturally protect you to the end. If you are in the house again, you can't go out for the next seven days and can only be trapped inside. But she has asked Cheng Shengfei to buy water in the store and hired people to check in the city. If they see a family that can't go out, they will deliver water to them, which should be able to prevent most of them from starving because they can't work.

Li Wuxiang didn't ask what would happen to the other small part, because he already understood the rules of this world - in the face of powerful forces, there will inevitably be some losses and sacrifices, but these things are considered reasonable. For example, before Cheng Peixin said she wanted to invite the door god, she didn't think of mentioning that the door god would also trap other people in the city. In her and many practitioners' eyes, these should not be worth mentioning. Now that it has come to this, it should still be for the sake of the swordsman.

This matter itself is a bit weird, and the weirdness mainly comes from "reasonableness" - if a world has such power, it seems that such rules should be reasonable.

He then thought that it would be a good idea to let Xue Baoping stay in Jinshui.

The rest was a few small deals with Cheng Shengfei. When she returned to Deyang, Cheng Shengfei said she wanted to be a swordsman, but her master didn't allow it. But these days, maybe he loosened up, or maybe he felt sorry for her, and it seemed that he didn't care much about her.

Cheng Shengfei would talk to him whenever he was free, acting like a fangirl. Li Wuxiang made up some stories about himself for her, but when she asked about the details, he either brushed them off or smiled indifferently, which made her wonder if asking about this was a taboo for swordsmen.

In return, she told him many secrets and strange things about the cultivation world, and also some small techniques that were easy to master.

At noon on the seventh day, Cheng Peixin performed another ritual, which took less than two quarters of an hour. She then finally opened the door of the utility room and released the still-throbbing child, saying that Xu Daosheng's spirit had completely dissipated.

So Li Wuxiang began to prepare for the journey. When the Qi Refining Realm of the True Immortal Body Dao Chapter advances to the stage of "Qi Refining into Spirit", medicines will be needed for assistance. Most of the common ones can be bought in Deyang City, and the price is not expensive. After Li Wuxiang asked the store about a small part, Cheng Peixin asked again when he returned to the temple. It seems that some of the industries are from Feiyun Temple, so he knew about it.

Li Wuxiang felt that she wanted something from him, and it was most likely some uncertain expectation for the future, so he told her everything without being polite.

Most of them were available in Feiyun Temple, but there was one missing, which was also the main medicine for the medicinal bath mentioned by Zeng Jianqiu, called "Guozhong". None of the shops had heard of this thing, and Cheng Peixin also said that she didn't know about it, so Li Wuxiang planned to go out of the city to find a serious swordsman to ask.

But in the evening, Li Wuxiang heard someone knocking on the back door of Feiyun Temple. The three of them were talking about cultivation in the courtyard, and it was Zhang Niangzi who came back to work who answered the door.

After a while, Madam Zhang came over and said to Cheng Peixin, "Master, there is someone in the back who wants to see you. He said that there is evil in his home."

Cheng Peixin frowned: "Why did this kind of thing come to the temple? Aren't there many Qigong practitioners in the city who pray for blessings and ward off disasters?"

Madam Zhang said quickly, "It's not that I can't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant. It's that man said that asking others for help was useless, so he had no choice but to come here. This is not the important thing. I listened to him for a while and felt that the important thing was that he said that it was a treasure he got from the Temple of Martial Arts that was cursed. I thought that we were also worshipping Master Taiyi, so I thought of asking. The chief of the temple was impatient, so I went to refuse him right away."

Hearing the words "Wu Temple", Cheng Peixin glanced at Li Wuxiang and asked, "Wait a minute, when did he get that treasure?"

"Oh, I didn't ask. I'll ask again."

Madam Zhang walked back quickly, and came back after a while: "It is said that a few days ago, the temple was renovated again. The man's name is Ning Xu. He also worked in the temple at that time. He was a bricklayer and got it at that time."

Cheng Peixin glanced at Li Wuxiang again: "Daoyou..." Li Wuxiang thought for a moment: "Is there some evil spirit that I haven't dealt with? Okay, let him come in and ask?"

Cheng Peixin nodded to Madam Zhang, and she hurried back to lead the person in.

The man named Ning Xu was tall, with a sallow complexion, and looked like he was ill. When he walked in, he was holding something wrapped in red cloth in both hands, hunched over, and looked a little panicked. When Cheng Peixin asked him what his name was, he immediately nodded and stammered.

When Cheng Peixin asked him what evil had befallen him, he stuttered even more, as if he had no idea how to speak in front of the three god-like figures.

His behavior made Cheng Peixin a little impatient, so Li Wuxiang said, "Don't be impatient, I'll ask you an answer. Is it this thing in your hand that's cursed?"

Ning Xu looked at Cheng Peixin and just opened his mouth.

Cheng Peixin frowned: "The one who asked you the question is Ranshan Sect Master, why are you staring?"

When Ning Xu heard the word "Sect Master", his knees bent in fear and he quickly nodded: "Yes, yes."

As he spoke, he clumsily removed the red cloth covering the object he was holding, revealing a bronze mirror: "This, this, this is the haunted one."

The bronze mirror looked very new, and must have been recently polished. The surface was extremely smooth and bright, without any trace of rust.

As soon as Li Wuxiang stretched out his hand, Ning Xu quickly handed it over. He touched it and felt nothing unusual. He looked at it and found nothing unusual. However, judging from Ning Xu's attire, just a newly polished bronze mirror, it was indeed a "treasure".

"Where did you find it in the Martial Temple?"

“Ah…ah…um, this, here, here…”

Li Wuxiang smiled at him and said, "On the beam, or underground in the west?"

"Underground, above ground, yes, that's the west."

"In the dirt pit in the corner?"

Ning Xu looked as if he was relieved all of a sudden: "Yes, yes, yes, yes! Soil, soil underneath!"

The person in the western corner is General Bai, so this bronze mirror should be under the pit where General Bai hid. I didn't look for it carefully that day. Is there something I didn't clean up... or is General Bai's soul hiding in there?

"What's the haunted thing?"

Ning Xu said quickly: "There is a ghost here, Master, it made a noise at night and asked me to save him..."

It doesn't sound like an evil ghost. Li Wuxiang smiled again: "Don't be afraid. Think about it and tell me slowly what you are arguing about. What did you say?"

Ning Xu thought about it for a long time before he let out a sigh: "This ghost, he said his name is Guo, Guo something... Guo Jianming? Probably that name, he was said to be a swordsman before..."
