When you encounter a weasel on the road asking for a title, appoint it as the Jade Emperor.

Fifteen years?

Zhang Chuyu raised an eyebrow.

There's an old saying that chickens shouldn't live past six, and dogs shouldn't live past eighty.

This is not just a common saying.

Chickens and dogs are the two animals that accompany people the longest and are extremely likely to understand human nature.

Fortunately, their lifespan is on average within these eight years.

Even with psychic abilities, one cannot escape the inevitable end.

However, they are still alive even after the year limit has passed.

Something unusual is bound to happen!

And Old Ding's dog actually lived for fifteen years!

"Five or six years ago, children in our town were often frightened in the middle of the night, and no one could find any reason. Everyone... said that it was the black dog that Old Ding kept that had become a demon and that it was the dog that frightened the children."

"We absolutely have to make Old Ding kill that dog."

Wu Quan sighed.

"Later, although Old Ding was unwilling, he had no choice but to take the black dog into the mountains outside the town one night. Since then, no one has ever seen the black dog again."

"However, I went into the mountains once last year and saw Old Ding there with some wild game. At the time, I didn't know what was going on, but now that I think about it... it's probably because that black dog didn't die at all."

After listening to what Wu Quan had to say.

Zhang Chuyu also got a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"Master, is this matter easy to handle?"

Wu Quan asked somewhat nervously.

Although Zhang Chuyu's status is what it is.

But he was only a teenager after all.

"Chu Yu, you can't be reckless." Wu Ya's face also showed some worry.

Zhang Chuyu smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

.....

More than half an hour later.

Zhang Chuyu had already arrived in the familiar town.

With its green tiles and white walls, it exudes a sense of antiquity.

The town is not very big, with only a few hundred households.

This is also where Zhang Chuyu traveled through these years.

Aside from the places I spend the most time in the mountains.

Old Ding's house is on the western edge of the town.

We walked through two alleys.

From afar, a huge mourning tent could be seen.

The mourning tent was also surrounded by people.

They were all neighbors who came to help.

Upon seeing Zhang Chuyu arrive.

Many people hurriedly bowed respectfully to Zhang Chuyu.

"Greetings, Celestial Master!"

Zhang Chuyu smiled and waved her hand, "Please rise, everyone."

Wu Quan then spoke up.

"Make way, let's take the Celestial Master to see Wang Chun's family first."

Upon hearing this.

The crowd quickly made way for them.

Wang Chun was Old Ding's neighbor.

However, because Old Ding was a coffin maker, even his neighbors lived dozens of meters away from his house.

Zhang Chuyu followed the road.

Surrounded by the crowd, they arrived at Wang Chun's house.

This is a two-story building with a courtyard.

The courtyard gate was already open.

I just got to the door.

Zhang Chuyu raised her eyebrows slightly.

Because here, he actually sensed a faint, almost imperceptible, demonic aura.

"Master, we've carried Wang Chun and his wife, all three of them, into the living room. I'll take you there."

Wu Quan led the way, stepping into the courtyard first.

Zhang Chuyu followed suit.

Enter the living room.

The first thing you see is three figures, two adults and one child, lying on the bed.

All three of them looked pale.

A wisp of black mist was spreading between their eyebrows.

"Master...can you tell what's going on?"

Wu Quan asked in a low voice.

Zhang Chuyu nodded slightly.

"Their souls are lost, or more accurately, they are taken away."

The human body has three souls: the celestial soul, the terrestrial soul, and the human soul!

The Heavenly Soul belongs to Heaven, and the Earthly Soul belongs to Earth.

Only the human soul is naturally born from the human body.

It is also the easiest to detach from the body.

When people say they're scared out of their wits, they mean their soul is gone!

However, if a person's soul is frightened and leaves on its own, it will only result in a persistent high fever or mental instability.

It will not cause unconsciousness.

The current symptoms only appear when someone is forcibly taken away.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered the system mission: Repay a debt of gratitude! Mission complete, you will receive system rewards!"

Just at this time.

Suddenly, a system notification sounded in Zhang Chuyu's mind.

Zhang Chuyu smiled; the mission had come at just the right time.

"The soul has been taken away..." Wu Quan, Wu Ya, and the others standing nearby widened their eyes slightly.

"Is there any way to save him?"

"Yes, the demon that took their souls didn't want their lives, otherwise it wouldn't have just taken their souls, but would have devoured them directly."

Zhang Chuyu gave a calm reply.

A demon capable of capturing souls is already quite powerful.

Killing someone would be easy.

After Zhang Chuyu finished speaking.

He suddenly pointed his finger into the air.

hum-

A buzzing sound rang out.

next moment.

Zhang Chuyu's golden light suddenly rose and coalesced into lines.

Three talismans were generated in the blink of an eye.

Surrounding the void.

A talisman for calming the soul!

"go!"

Zhang Chuyu flicked his finger.

Three talismans burst forth simultaneously, sticking towards the foreheads of Wang Chun and the other two.

After falling, it transformed into a gentle wisp of primordial energy, which entered the bodies of the three people.

The three of them groaned almost simultaneously.

A demonic aura emanated from between his brows.

As the demonic energy left the body.

The complexions of Wang Chun and the other two were visibly becoming rosy.

Even his breathing began to become even.

At first glance, it looks like it's fast asleep.

Seeing all this.

Wu Quan and the people who had been waiting outside all stared wide-eyed.

His face was filled with astonishment.

In the void... draw a talisman!

The Way!

It truly is the Daoist way!

Although they all lived at the foot of Longhu Mountain, the Celestial Master's Mansion had long since declined over the past hundred years.

Especially in recent decades, he has had very few disciples.

Only the old Celestial Master remained in the mountains, but he never displayed his supernatural powers in front of anyone.

Therefore, although many people have reverence for the Celestial Master, they do not know whether the Celestial Master actually knows Taoist magic!

nowadays.

Zhang Chuyu's move immediately dispelled everyone's doubts.

Only Wu Ya's eyes held a hint of a smile.

"Little Chu Yu is really amazing!"

......

"Master...is this...is this considered resolved?"

Several seconds passed before Wu Quan finally spoke.

Zhang Chuyu shook her head.

"Not yet, but the demon that abducted the souls of Wang Chun and the other two has sensed my arrival. It will definitely show itself tonight."

"Let's go to the mourning hall; I want to see Old Ding's coffin."

He had already sensed that something was wrong at that moment.

After saying that.

Zhang Chuyu left the courtyard.

We returned to Old Ding's mourning shed.

The mourning hall was filled with all sorts of paper figures and horses.

There were also stacks of paper ingots.

These gold ingots are golden in color and emit a faint golden light.

It really is just like gold.

It is absolutely not comparable to those cheap, cheap knockoffs you find on the market.

Zhang Chuyu then looked at a paper effigy next to her.

This paper figure is also very lifelike, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite.

Even the expression between his brows was exactly like that of a living person.

Even... the feel of it is somewhat similar to that of a living person.

"It seems this old man Ding is a charlatan."

There are eight hundred unorthodox sects and three thousand unorthodox practices in the world.

Although different from the orthodox path, it has its own unique way of doing things.

"Hey, why is there a small hole in the heart of this paper figure?"

Just at this time.

Wu Quan suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, everyone else turned to look at the paper figures and horses beside them.

These items originally came from Old Ding's coffin shop.

After Old Ding died, everyone took out all these paper figures and horses.

It's all for Old Ding to keep him company in the afterlife.

So the number is still quite large.

There were dozens of them.

But at this moment...

The heart of these paper figures and horses.

Surprisingly, every single one of them had holes the size of mung beans.

It was as if his body had been pierced through.

......
