.I went to work overtime and came back. It was a bit late to update :)

"Sir, the master who chases ghosts is invited!" A soldier in the mansion of Dasanguanguanguan reported to Ugo that he had been guarding the palace.

What kind of person?" Ugo was lying halfway on the bed and pretending to sleep, and opened his eyes when he heard this.

"It's the Taoist priest from Baiyun Temple in the imperial capital." When the soldier mentioned the Taoist priest, his voice was a little respectful.

"Imperial Capital? Baiyun Temple? What do the people from the Imperial Capital come to Sichuan to do? Do you have your dog eyes carefully? Don't ask the Han soldiers outside the city to sneak in!" Wu Ge's eyes sparkled and he scolded.

"Look carefully, the jade plaque that the Taoist priest was indeed issued by the empire!" The soldiers below replied, feeling a little dissatisfied: "Return to the Han soldiers outside the city, aren't we Han soldiers? You Ugo is a foreign race, but I am a Han Chinese for generations."

But he did not dare to say these words. Ugo has been in power for a long time. Everyone who dared to oppose him in Dasan Pass died tragically. Others are slight, and the whole family is in the local area, so they can only obey.

"Then bring him in." Ugo didn't raise his eyelids. Although the empire treated Taoism very favorably for various reasons, there was no explicit regulation after all. With his identity as a guardian, he didn't care about a little Taoist priest.

"Sir, Taoist priest is here." After a while, the soldiers introduced the Taoist priest from outside the door.

"Where does this Taoist priest come from?" Ugo was already half lying down.

"Someone comes from Baiyun Temple in Jiangshan City." The Taoist priest said proudly.

"But why did I come to the middle of the river?" Wu Ge looked directly at the Taoist priest.

"I came to Qingcheng Mountain to visit my old friend and passed by here by chance." The Taoist priest's face did not change.

"No, if you go to Qingcheng Mountain and walk on Mianzhu, why do you take a detour to my Dasan Pass? I think you are a spy!" A cold light flashed in Ugo's eyes, and a scimitar in his hand poked the tables in front of him.

"Those who are Taoist should hear the energy of heaven and earth and communicate with ghosts and gods. I heard that Dasan Pass has outstanding people and earth, and the energy of heaven and earth is abundant, so I traveled here. I also saw that there was a demonic energy in the city soaring into the sky. When I saw it, the great chieftain said so easily, but the Taoist priest said calmly.

This Taoist priest can speak, so how can you catch ghosts and subdue monsters?" Wu Ge laughed dryly and finally sat up straight.

"I can't subdue demons or pursue ghosts, but I can only relieve my worries for the great chieftain." The Taoist priest didn't care about Ugo's attitude and said with a smile.

"I'm so sorry for my worries. You Taoist priest have arrived at a fairly wise man. Take him to a haunted place to see it. If you succeed in subduing a demon, you will be rewarded." Ugo waved his hand. He didn't want to bother with a Taoist priest. There was no omission after interrogation. So he went there, and even a Taoist priest could not do anything.

"By the way, do you have any news about Yang Wulin and the others?" Seeing the Taoist priest walking out of the house, Ugo asked his subordinates.

"I have never heard of them when I go back to the Grand Tushi..." the subordinate replied.

"Did they escape with my belongings?" Ugo said to himself.

"Forget it, except for ghosts, kill these Han soldiers, and wait until the weapons arrive, even if they measure him, a small Ling Jiyang, can't get out of my palm!" Wu Ge was extremely excited when he thought of the upcoming strong bows and crossbows. He really didn't care about the life and death of a team of horse gangs and scouts under his command.

There are many mountains in the river, and there are not many places suitable for cavalry to be used. On the contrary, bows and crossbows can play a better role.

"It's just a pity that the crossbows they brought." Ugo thought with regret.

~~~

"This person is coming and going, it's so noisy..." When the Taoist priest and the soldiers walked towards the backyard, they saw a group of soldiers constantly walking towards the side yard, and then brought out bundles of bows and arrows and other weapons.

"I don't know either, but it seems that it's going to fight." The soldier glanced at it and said subconsciously.

The scholar also took a look and stopped saying a word.

"Master, it's here, the haunted house is the main room." The soldier quickly took the Taoist to a courtyard behind and reminded him kindly.

"Haha." The Taoist chuckled and looked around.

In front of me was a courtyard behind Guanshou’s mansion, surrounded by wooden houses built along the mountain.

And the haunted room was facing him.

"The terrain is low and the earth's energy is accumulated and not dissipated. Even if there are no ghosts, there are still people who come to do it." The Taoist sneered and walked towards the main room.

However, the door of the main room was locked with a copper lock, so it was impossible to see the situation inside.

"It has been a long time since no one has lived in this room," the soldier introduced.

The Taoist priest glanced at the copper lock. The soldier behind him was about to unlock the lock, but the Taoist priest waved his hand and signaled not to use it. A sword appeared in his hand and slashed it in an instant. The copper lock broke and opened automatically with a squeak.

After the door opened, the situation inside was clear at a glance.

The room is not big, with more than 30 square meters square. This is a typical imperial style room. It is opposite the door. There are several cases on the case. There are two vases on the case. The flowers in the bottle have already shriveled and withered. On both sides are a row of bookshelves and several landscape banners hanging on the wall. In addition to the dust, the ground seems to have traces of fresh water dragging by.

On the left is a row of bookshelf, filled with collections of scriptures and history.

"Why are there fresh water marks on the ground without anyone living?" asked the Taoist priest.

On the dusty bluestone floor, the traces of clear water flowing are very obvious.

"This should be where the rain leaks, right? But there are really ghosts in this room. Last night, I seemed to hear someone crying, but there was no one after entering, and the lock was not destroyed, so I concluded that it was a haunted..." The soldier glanced at the water trace and couldn't help but fight coldly.

Let’s go out, I will do my best to subdue demons here. I will not come in without my instructions!" the Taoist priest pondered.

I will never come in again if I beat you to death." The soldier hoped that the Taoist priest would say this and ran out hurriedly.

"Hehe, catch ghosts, where do so many ghosts come from? Lin has been practicing Taoism for many years, but he only heard that the strange powers are in chaos and he will destroy himself without paying attention. Today I want to see who gave Lin face so that Lin can enter this mansion to act." Seeing the soldier running out of the yard, the old Taoist closed the door of the house and covered the window with a curtain of practice, and said proudly.

It turned out that this Taoist priest was Xiao Lei's subordinate, the old Taoist Lin Qingping.

Three days ago, Lei Dongfeng and others arrived at Dasan Pass. Before they even entered the gate, they were blocked by the Great Chief of Ugo and were blocked outside the city by the army.

Ugo refused Lei Dongfeng's request to enter the pass on the grounds that he did not receive the order from the military headquarters and could not let everyone enter the pass without authorization.

Then nearly 10,000 soldiers were sent to block all the roads where Lei Dongfeng and others entered the pass.

Helplessly, Lei Dongfeng and others could only set up camps under Dasan Pass. Ugo was not at ease and sent dozens of spies around the camp to monitor them day and night.

Moreover, as the scribe in the blue shirt inferred, Lei Dongfeng and others did not bring much supplies to maintain the speed of the march. Although they carried tens of thousands of gold coins seized from the Sand Stealing Alliance, in the wilderness, Ugo did not allow everyone to enter the pass, so where could they buy and sell supplies?

Only capable people like the old Taoist who come and go can avoid Ugo's horse exploration. So today, the old Taoist Lin Qingping was sent to the city by Lei Dongfeng to inquire about the movement, and it would be best if he could sneak into the mansion of the gatekeeper, but he happened to encounter the fact that he chased ghosts.

"If it's a human being, there will be a mechanism and traces left." Old Dao Lin is best at pretending to be a ghost in his life, and he has already concluded that this place must be artificial, and since the defense outside the room is tight, the only explanation is-
