This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Qingfeng, who was fast asleep, was suddenly awakened. Without even putting on his clothes, he ran out shirtless.

"What's wrong, sir?"

After running out the door, Qingfeng saw Li Daoxuan sitting cross-legged on the ground in the dim night, with what appeared to be a small figure beside him.

Li Daoxuan said, slightly out of breath:

"Quickly carry her inside, put her on the table, find two white candles, three incense sticks, a bowl of rice, and a basin of water, hurry..."

Li Daoxuan's tone was serious and left no room for argument.

Qingfeng didn't dare to delay and quickly stepped forward, bending down to pick up the small figure.

Only then did he barely see that the person in his arms was a little girl, but her face was covered in blood and dirt, making it impossible to recognize her.

However, Qingfeng immediately thought of the little girl who climbed the tree every day to eavesdrop on the teacher's lectures.

Qingfeng carried the little girl into the main hall and placed her on the table. Without delay, he quickly went to the west wing to fetch incense and candles, scooped up a bowl of white rice, and brought a basin of water.

Then he ran to the courtyard, pushed the wheelchair out of Li Daoxuan's room, and helped Li Daoxuan into it.

Pushing Li Daoxuan into the living room, Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

"Sir, is there anything else you need?"

Li Daoxuan's expression was solemn, and he coldly said:

"Go outside, close the door, and stand guard. No matter what noise you hear, don't open the door until I say 'open,' understand?"

Qingfeng nodded quickly, ran outside, and closed the door.

Li Daoxuan glanced at the little girl lying on the table, his expression extremely solemn.

The little girl was no longer breathing, and her body was cold.

However, Li Daoxuan could still sense that her soul had not dissipated and was not far from her physical body.

Therefore, he had to perform a ritual to summon the little girl's soul back.

The method of summoning the soul is not found in the "Taiyi Danjing". It is a true soul-binding incantation that Li Daoxuan learned from his father in his previous life.

I don't know if it will work, but at this point I can only try anything as a last resort.

Li Daoxuan tore a corner of the little girl's clothes, used his magic to write and draw on the fragments with his finger.

He didn't know the little girl's name or age, so he could only make it up out of thin air, writing:

"The young girl, Mingyue, a native of Anyi County, was possessed by a vengeful ghost, her soul scattered. I, the righteous one of this world, command all the spirits and deities to obey my commands..."

These are the clothes the little girl is wearing, which are connected to her destiny, so they should be useful.

After finishing writing, Li Daoxuan placed the fragments of his clothes on the candle flame and lit them. Then, with a wave of his hand, the burning rag floated into the air and drifted without falling down.

Upon seeing this scene, Li Daoxuan knew that the first step had been successfully completed.

Then he made Taoist hand seals and chanted incantations:

"Wandering souls, where do they linger? Their three souls have long since descended, their seven spirits have arrived; in desolate villages and wilderness, in graveyards and forests; false alarms and lawsuits, their true souls have been lost. Now I command! Mountain Gods of the Five Paths, Wandering Generals, Local Earth Gods, Kitchen Gods of the Household; I am the orthodox master of Taoism, and I now command you to diligently search, collect their souls, and restore their spirits. The gates of Heaven open, the gates of Earth open, a thousand-mile-long child will deliver the soul. Imperial decree..."

After the incantation to bind the soul was finished, the surroundings remained deathly silent, without the slightest movement.

Li Daoxuan looked around, his brows furrowed, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Hey..."

He slammed his hand on the table, his magical power surging, and a talisman appeared in his hand.

This talisman is not any kind of protective, exorcising, or divine talisman, but rather Li Daoxuan's own natal talisman as a Taoist cultivator, with his name and Taoist title written on it.

"Li Daoxuan, the contemporary patriarch of the Daoist school, hereby issues an imperial edict."

This was not something Li Daoxuan self-proclaimed, but rather something he naturally wrote in a state of mental confusion and ignorance when he began cultivating the Complete Book of Talismans after establishing his foundation. It was a natal talisman that embodied the will of heaven and earth.

Li Daoxuan, holding the talisman, shouted loudly:

"I am the founder of the Taoist sect in this world, and I command Heaven, Earth, and all spirits to obey my orders immediately... Now..."

The talisman suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, and a beam of light invisible to the naked eye shot straight up into the sky, reaching the highest heavens.

In an instant, the clouds moved in all directions, and lightning flashed and thunder roared in the heavens and earth, as if the sky were collapsing. The sheer scale of the event was felt throughout the entire world.

The wandering spirits and vengeful ghosts scattered throughout this world were all terrified.

All sorts of extraordinary people looked up at the sky, wondering what was happening.

In the palace of the Great Zhao Kingdom, the Great Zhao Emperor was awakened and asked those around him, but they were all clueless.

Just as he was wondering, the old director of the Imperial Observatory, who had been stationed at the astrological observatory for many years, completely disregarded the transgression of etiquette and rushed straight into the emperor's bedroom, his face full of panic, muttering to himself:

"A celestial lord descends from the heavens, surrounded and guarded by all the stars, including Ziwei..."

The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away from Kyoto, in a small courtyard in Anyi County, Qingfeng, who was guarding the door, suddenly felt a chill on his body, a coldness rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He couldn't help but hug his arms tightly, shiver, and become even more vigilant.

Gradually, the cold air grew stronger and the cold wind grew more intense.

Qingfeng couldn't even keep his balance and could only cling tightly to the door frame.

The talisman given to him by Li Daoxuan on his chest was radiating warmth, protecting him from the invasion of the yin wind.

The yard was already a mess from the wind, with debris flying everywhere.

Strangely, the cold wind only howled in this courtyard, while there was no movement anywhere else.

Only in the distant county government office, Magistrate Zhao stared in horror at the official seal in his hand, which gleamed with an aura of authority.

He had a strange feeling that the official seal bestowed upon him by the emperor... was actually afraid?

......

Inside the room, Li Daoxuan stood solemnly, exuding an imposing aura without being angry.

At this moment, his mind was almost completely absorbed in the surrounding world, and he could sense all movements.

Those eerie winds did not come out of thin air, but were vengeful spirits and ghosts that came from the underworld following Li Daoxuan's Soul-Binding Curse.

They all wanted to take this opportunity to be resurrected and start anew.

Therefore, Li Daoxuan ordered Qingfeng to guard the door and not open it.

Finally, Li Daoxuan sensed a familiar soul.

He suddenly opened his eyes, slammed his hand on the table, and shouted:

"Blind Moon, return swiftly! All other souls, refrain from your recklessness..."

"open..."

The breeze outside the house jolted him awake when he heard the word "open".

Without the slightest hesitation, Qingfeng loosened the doorknob and pushed the door open.

In an instant, a large gust of cold wind carrying a chilling aura rushed into the room, causing the candlelight to flicker wildly and almost go out.

Li Daoxuan was furious upon seeing this and threw out three talismans at once: the Five Thunder Talisman, the Evil-Expelling Talisman, and the Sha-Breaking Talisman.

"Insolence! Annihilate them!"

"ah..."

The piercing screams echoed wildly in the night, but Qingfeng saw nothing but emptiness, not even a single person in sight. He felt a chill run down his neck, his scalp tingled, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

In Li Daoxuan's eyes, several ghosts rushed into the house, trying to take over the place.

Li Daoxuan naturally showed no mercy and directly killed him with a talisman.

Li Daoxuan grabbed the ashes of the clothing fragments, mixed them with rice, then infused the mixture with his magic and threw it out the door, shouting:

"With grains as the bridge and flesh as the guide, blind girl and bright moon, hurry back..."
