The middle-aged man looked extremely respectful and after bowing towards each of them, he said, “Taoist Master Ku Mu, Taoist Master Yuan Mu, Xu Gongzi and this Taoist Master from the ancient city of Tai Chu, I beg you all to be true and make sure that the matter of Maocao Village is completely resolved, otherwise the villagers of Maocao will not be able to sleep or eat in peace.”
The Taoist of the early Profound energy realm, Yuan Mu, waved his hand and said with some impatience, “Village Chief, don’t worry. According to my opinion, this matter is at most upper Profound Energy Realm. There is my brother. The two of them made their move, but they were all caught up in their hands.”
Ji Yue Nian’s eyes moved slightly, as if he suddenly thought of something, but he did not say anything, but stepped out of the house and gazed at the peaceful and tranquil village of barren grass.
Smoke curled up from the kitchen, and the autumn water was home.
“Little Taoist,” the sweet voice came into my ears, the twisted braided girl stood a few feet in front of me, looking at Ji Yue Nian with some anxiety, “Leave quickly, our Maocao village is not something you can get involved in.”
Ji Yue Nian frowned slightly and quietly looked at the girl with the twisted braid, and a feeling of something unpleasant rose up in his heart.
What was wrong with her?
Suddenly, a thunderstorm passed through his mind!
She said “our Maocao village”!
This is not a barren village at all, but a village where hundreds of people had died out!
Or rather, there was no such thing as a village of Maocao.
“Why are you standing here, Master Taoist? Come inside and rest.” The village headman’s voice rang out in his ears.
Ji Yue Nian turned his head and was looking to see the village chief coming out of the hall and towards himself.
“Why don’t you go now? If you leave the confines of the village, you can get rid of this terrible curse!” The braided girl’s voice became more anxious.
Strangely enough, the village chief did not seem to notice the presence of the braided girl at all and ignored her.
Ji Yue Nian pondered for a moment, and without a word, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the village.
The braided girl followed him with a worried and concerned look on her face.
“Daoist Master! Please stay! Stay!”
The village elder’s voice gradually distorted in his ears, growing smaller and smaller.
“Move!” The twisted braided girl stretched out her slender jade hand and grabbed Ji Yue Nian’s wrist, pulling him towards the outside of the village.
Ji Yue Nian still did not say a word, allowing the girl to lead him faster and faster.
Finally, he reached the entrance of the village.
The girl let go of her hand and said urgently, “Little Taoist Master, hurry up and get out, it will be too late if you are late!”
Ji Yue Nian looked back at the dead village behind him and nodded, “Good.”
The braided girl seemed to be very agitated and spoke up from time to time to urge Ji Yue Nian.
“Go? Where to?” Ji Yue Nian looked at the young girl’s clear little face and laughed lightly, “With all due respect, the girl’s disguise is incomparably clumsy.”
The young girl was stunned for a moment and said in confusion, “What is Little Taoist Master talking about?”
Ji Yue Nian shook his head slightly and flicked his sleeve and robe, a golden Profound energy flowed out, breaking all the barriers in front of him.
The village behind him regained its vague popularity and bustle, while one step in front of him was the real dead village!
This was the western side of the village, and no one had dared to come here since the incident in the village.
“How can you possibly see through it?” The young girl’s face gradually calmed down.
“It’s simple, although I didn’t see through the maze directly, your flaw is too obvious,” Ji Yue Nian pointed to the thin, coarse cloth clothing worn by the twisted braided girl, “Two days ago, the wind and rain had just passed, the weather was incomparably cold, your cloth alone could not protect you from the cold, but your hands are extremely warm.”
The young girl looked at Ji Yue Nian in silence, without saying a word.
“I am 80% sure that the incident in the village is related to the ghost of the body within the two days of heavy rain, but the ghost of the body is very special, it has a kind of incomparability with other ghosts. ”
“Tell me.” The twisted braided girl’s face was expressionless.
Ji Yue Nian nodded and said, “Just now I saw a wooden statue of the mountain god in the village headman’s house, and on this journey, I have also vaguely seen the same mountain god statue through the occasional open doors of the rest of the houses, and this is the key to the body ghost’s transformation.”
The young girl said softly, “Every mountain god is a god of heaven and earth who protects one side, so what does it have to do with body ghosts?”
“Although this is true,” Ji Yuenian put on the sleeves of the Zhanqing Taoist robe, “but the mountain gods that these two villages have enshrined for generations do not exist at all!”
“Even the lowest-ranking Heaven and Earth God is an ordained deity that protects thousands of miles of territory, just like the Tai Chu Land God worshipped in my ancient city of Tai Chu.”
“This mountain is only one of the outermost mountains in the Qing Luan Mountain Range, so it’s extremely small, how could there be a Mountain God here? If there really was a Mountain God, there is no way this place would be so deserted, with only two small villages that are as isolated from the world.”
“Their so-called Mountain God is just a figment of their imagination.”
The young lady looked at Ji Yue Nian with a strange gaze and said, “Little Taoist Master is really intelligent, but even if the mountain gods do not exist, what does this have to do with the body ghosts?”
Ji Yue Nian took a step forward, only a foot away from the young girl, looked down at her and said, “Although the Mountain God does not exist, the statue of the Mountain God has absorbed the villagers’ wishes for many years, only that no spirit has been born within it.”
“A lot of ghosts appeared during the pouring rain in the first two days. It should have been a ghost who came to Maocao Village and noticed the abnormality of the statue of the mountain god, and split into the hundreds of mountain gods in the village. The aspiration accumulated in the body was transformed, and from then on, he was no longer trapped by the celestial phenomena, and completely got rid of the body of the ghost, and became a real ghost that can be practiced.”
“Girl, am I right?”

The young girl did not say a word, just looked at Ji Yue Nian and fell silent.
Ji Yue Nian smiled and continued, “Unfortunately, after you were born, although you shed your body as a ghost, you also lost all your weird abilities as a body ghost, turning into a poor ghost creature that disappeared into oblivion, and even had to rely on the maze barrier to lure me here.”
“Even if you’ve guessed all that, so what?” A dense fierce and fierce ghostly energy diffused from the twisted braided maiden’s body, coalescing into a woman’s form in the void, “Unfortunately, you didn’t guess my cultivation, so you’ll die just the same!”
The furious ghostly power swept out, this ghost creature was actually at the terrifying cultivation level of the Upper Realm of Return to Truth!
At the same time, after the twisted braided girl lost her body ghost’s drenched body, her eyes became godless and gradually transformed into a pile of scattered white bones under the ghostly Qi.
