Chapter 9 The Coffin of the Ancestral Hall
Under the terrifying power of thunder, the footsteps of the ghosts were stopped, which also gave Wang Chunsheng a chance to breathe.
He looked at Li Daoxuan, who was holding the thunder seal in his hand, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
This little Taoist priest actually has the ability to drive thunder!
There is help!
Wang Chunsheng ran towards Li Daoxuan, but Li Daoxuan moved faster. He stepped forward and appeared in front of Wang Chunsheng as if teleporting.
"Taoist Master, help me quickly!"
"These...these are ghosts!"
Li Daoxuan didn't speak. His expression was solemn, he took Wang Chunsheng's wrist, turned around and ran away.
Although his mana has increased a bit, Li Daoxuan only has five Five Thunder Talismans left, and there are at least dozens of these evil ghosts, so he is unable to defeat them.
Wang Chunsheng was grabbed by the wrist by Li Daoxuan, and he felt as if there was wind under his feet. He ran out of the house in the blink of an eye, with the sound of howling wind in his ears.
But when he looked back, he was shocked. The group of evil ghosts were still chasing them. Their feet did not touch the ground, and they were like a black mist, floating quickly towards the two of them.
If he hadn't been pulled by this powerful Taoist priest, he would have been overtaken by the ghosts long ago.
But even so, the ghosts followed them closely and could not get rid of them.
Li Daoxuan poured mana into his eyes, looked around, and found that the yin energy in a place in the distance was much lighter than the surroundings. Maybe that was the exit?
Without thinking much, he rushed there with Wang Chunsheng.
After turning three corners and passing through a long and deep path, Li Daoxuan and Wang Chunsheng saw an ancestral hall in front of them. The door of the ancestral hall was open, and they rushed in directly.
Outside the door, all the ghosts stopped and looked coldly at the ancestral hall, which looked like dozens of cold sculptures in the darkness.
But the strange thing is that they just watched and no one stepped into it, as if there was something in that ancestral hall that they were deeply afraid of.
…
Surrounded by ghosts outside, Li Daoxuan and Wang Chunsheng had no choice but to enter the ancestral hall to escape.
Wang Chunsheng was trembling with fear and his legs were still shaking. He looked bold and heroic, but in fact he was just an ordinary person.
Li Daoxuan ignored him and quietly observed the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall is very large, with many spiritual tablets inside. It is a place used to worship ancestors in the village. In the ancient society of patriarchal system, the ancestral hall has a very high status in people's hearts. People must worship frequently to seek the protection of their ancestors.
But many of the spiritual tablets here have spider webs, and there is a musty smell in the air. It has obviously not been cleaned for a long time.
The most eye-catching thing is that there is a coffin placed in the main hall of the ancestral hall.
When Li Daoxuan and Kong Yining saw the coffin, there is an old saying that if the coffin touches the ground, it will be unlucky for the whole family.
The coffin was originally supposed to be suspended in the air by ropes, but now the ropes have rotted and broken, allowing the coffin to touch the ground.
Earth Qi nourishes Yin, so it is difficult for this coffin to avoid corpse transformation in a place with such strong Yin Qi.
Li Daoxuan had no desire to open the coffin. He decisively attached a Five Thunder Talisman to the coffin and recited the mantra silently.
A thundercloud gathered in the sky.
But at this moment, all the spiritual tablets in the ancestral hall began to shake, and Li Daoxuan seemed to hear countless old people's voices telling him to get out of here.
The next moment, there was a bang in the coffin, the lid of the coffin was pushed open from the inside out, and a figure sat up.
Boom!
Seeing that the sky thunder was about to fall, the figure in the coffin let out a light sigh, and then he clasped his hands together, and his five fingers were covered with armor, which was the Taoist sky thunder seal.
"Xiao Ming Feng Lei, listen to my order and disperse!"
Immediately, the thunder clouds Li Daoxuan summoned with the Five Thunder Talisman disappeared, and even the rich Yin Qi above the village dispersed a lot, and the bright moonlight shone in.
Li Daoxuan opened his mouth wide.
What the hell, zombies can use lightning?
However, he soon discovered that the person in front of him was not a zombie, but a Taoist priest with gray hair, thin body but sharp eyes.
The Taoist priest looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with a Chinese-character face, and was wearing a shabby yellow robe. His hair was greasy and had not been washed for an unknown amount of time.
The shrine in the ancestral hall is still trembling, getting more and more violent.
The yellow-robed Taoist clasped his ears, with a trace of impatience in his eyes, and said angrily: "Why are you making any noise? It only disturbs the Taoist's sleep, so shut up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and the spiritual tablets stood there without any movement.
The yellow-robed Taoist priest looked at Li Daoxuan and Wang Chunsheng, clicked his tongue and said, "Little Taoist priest, didn't your master teach you that the Five Thunder Talisman can only kill demons and ghosts, but not people?"
Li Daoxuan hesitated and chose to tell the truth.
"Senior, I don't have a master."
"No master?"
The yellow-robed Taoist priest's eyes flashed with light, then disappeared immediately.
"Haha, you are a Taoist and I am easy to deceive? Without a master, how did you learn the secret Five Thunder Talisman of Longhu Mountain?"
Li Daoxuan was able to learn the Five Thunder Talisman, naturally because of the "Book of Demons and Demons", but this was his biggest secret, so naturally he would not tell others.
"I am originally from Hongzhou. In the eighth year of Wude, in order to escape the war, I fled to Yunqi Temple in Xiaofeng Mountain and worked as a cook. However, in the ninth year of Wude, Yunqi Temple was also destroyed by the war.
I ran for my life in a panic and accidentally fell into a valley. I was lucky enough to survive. I met a corpse wearing Taoist robes and found a broken book on his body, which contained some magic spells."
The yellow-robed Taoist stared into Li Daoxuan's eyes and asked, "What next?"
"Then I buried the Taoist priest, hid in the valley and tried to practice by myself. Then after I developed my magic power, I left the valley and made a living by subduing demons."
Li Daoxuan talked eloquently without any nervousness or worry that the other party would see through.
Because this is indeed "his" real experience, including the part where he fell into the deep valley, and it was also something that really happened, but those were all the experiences of the original owner of this body before the time travel.
The only difference is that the original owner did not find any books on the Taoist priest's body.
The whole thing is completely true and false. Even if the other party goes to investigate, there will definitely be no flaws.
After listening to Li Daoxuan's words, the yellow-robed Taoist priest asked: "What does the corpse of the Taoist priest you met look like?"
Li Daoxuan thought for a while and said: "He is a man with a square face and a slightly chubby figure. By the way, he also has a purple plum blossom-like birthmark on his neck."

The yellow-robed Taoist sighed softly when he heard the words, already believing it in his heart, and said: "That Taoist is my disciple of Longhu Mountain, and he is considered a rare talent among the outer sects. It's a pity."
Li Daoxuan was shocked. It seemed that this yellow-robed Taoist priest was also from Longhu Mountain.
After a pause, he looked at Li Daoxuan carefully and said, "Where is that book? Is it still with you?"
Li Daoxuan shook his head and said: "During a demon subduing, the book was accidentally lost and has never been found again."
The yellow-robed Taoist priest looked at Li Daoxuan and marveled.
"Without the guidance of a master, I was able to cultivate the Five Thunder Talisman with just a broken book, and also developed my magic power. It's really rare."
He looked at Li Daoxuan as if he was looking at a very rare treasure.
Li Daoxuan felt a little embarrassed by him, coughed and said, "Well, I'm just lucky."
"Good luck? Haha, in the entire Longhu Mountain, among the three hundred outer sect disciples, not more than one hand can cultivate the Five Thunder Talisman. Little Taoist, I see that your bones are amazing, and you are indeed a good material for cultivating Taoism."
Li Daoxuan was about to say a few words of humility.
The yellow-robed Taoist shook his head and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I have a good foundation, but my foundation is too poor, and I'm still blind."
Li Daoxuan was stunned, blind?
Well said, why do you suddenly curse?
The yellow-robed Taoist snorted coldly, pointed at Li Daoxuan and cursed: "If you weren't blind, how could you not even notice that there was an evil ghost standing next to you?"
There's an evil ghost standing next to you?
Li Daoxuan was about to refute, but his mind was shaken and he suddenly remembered something.
Previously, he used the magic of Shuchi Shenxing to lead Wang Chunsheng to escape, and the two of them ran all the way. It didn't matter that he had magic power, but Wang Chunsheng never complained about being tired from the beginning to the end.
Most people would be out of breath from exhaustion.
Li Daoxuan turned to look at Wang Chunsheng, who had not spoken for a long time...
