The black dog kept growling in place, its nostrils emitting a low warning hum of "huff, huff". As an animal can see dirty things, it is much more sensitive to approaching danger than humans.

  Cha Wenbin gave a signal to the fat man, and the two began to retreat backwards. According to his previous arrangement, both of them were already well-prepared. With cotton balls soaked in water stuffed into their nostrils and ears, they took a deep breath and retreated to the edge of the house one after another.

  Actually, this kind of ghostly thing has no vision, they can only see people by smelling the "human air". The biggest difference between humans and the dead is that we breathe. The cold and gloomy feeling encountered in the underworld is the aura of death, which is called "dead air sinking heavily". As long as a person is alive, there is yang energy. Ghosts can see people as long as they see yang energy. Similarly, if a person can see yin energy, they can also see ghosts. Of course, most people cannot see ghosts unless the ghost itself wants to be seen.

  The dog has started barking, pulling its throat non-stop, and slowly backing away while continuously barking. Before long, it reached the end of the chain that could be tied up, and the barking sound gradually became weaker.

  When that dogs tail began to tuck between its legs and lower its head with a "Woo Woo", Cha Wenbin muttered to himself, "Its coming!"

  Fatso didnt see anything, the sky outside was between dark and not dark, there was light but it wasnt eye-catching. Slowly, a womans outline began to emerge, she seemed to be walking out of thin air, wearing a floral jacket, deep blue pants, and a pair of black cloth shoes with buttons on her feet, quietly and slowly approaching this way.

  The fat boy stared at the gate of the courtyard with wide eyes, no matter how he looked, he couldnt see where the woman came from, but one thing was clear, that woman wasnt walking, she was "floating".

  She said "float" is not floating, her toes are raised, and the heel of her foot is slightly off the ground, walking without any effort. After a few steps, the woman stopped and looked around the house, and the fat man quickly pulled his head back, holding his breath and covering his mouth, afraid to make a sound. This was the first time the fat man had seen a "ghost", he carefully studied her, thinking: if she wasnt a "ghost" it would be great, that ghost girl is quite pretty...

  There was a line of ink on the door of the house, and a symbol. When the woman walked in front of the house, she frowned slightly, but soon moved to the left, where there was another door.

  This door, isnt a "door", its just a drawing made by Cha Wenbin with lime powder. To him, it was just a wall, but to that woman, in her eyes, this was the door. What she didnt know was that behind this door was a trap specially left for her by Cha Wenbin.

  Just as Old Qiu described, the woman darted straight into the house. A moment later, a sharp and shrill scream came from inside the house.

  "Ah!" A loud noise like thunder on a clear day suddenly rang out, and Yuan Xiaobai and I heard it clearly. The sound was in the room, right next to our ears. I quickly moved a little further inside, trying to get away from it, but then I heard another "creaking" sound, followed by a loud "bang". On the wall not far from me hung an old-fashioned mirror with glass embedded in wood, used for combing hair. The glass on the mirror suddenly cracked and shattered all over the floor, which was the last sound I heard inside the room.

  That door painted by Cha Wenbin, walking in and facing directly is that mirror. "Ghost" cannot be reflected in the mirror. In ancient times, the mirror was also called "Jian", "Zhaozi". It can truly reflect everything, including "ghosts". Think about it, a female ghost, seemingly beautiful, but after a long time, she thought she looked like this after death. One day, a mirror appeared in front of her, reflecting a miserable scene:

  A rotting corpse, maggots and ants crawling all over its body, burst eyeballs, a stretched-out tongue mixed with corpse fluid. Hair that has fallen out and a face that is already full of holes, is this still the self from when I was alive?

  But thats the real her, and yet she cant help but escape reality, because once you accept the fact that has already died in your heart, the breath that supports her lingering soul will disappear. The biggest difference between "ghost" and soul is that she relies on that mouthful of resentment to wander between the yin and yang realms, and she wont admit that shes already returned to the underworld, otherwise the ox-headed horse-faced enforcers of the underworld would appear in front of her at any time.

  So, mirrors have been a sharp tool for exorcising evil spirits since ancient times. Cha Wenbin took advantage of this and gave her a taste of his power first.

  The woman really fell for it, and the fatty immediately saw a shadow in the shape of a woman flying out from inside the house. Then, a real woman appeared again. This time her expression was not as good as when she first came, looking extremely angry. When she stepped on the gourd diagram on the ground again, Zhang Wenbins rope tightened and the gourd diagram on the ground immediately shrank, with the mouth of the bottle also being sealed tightly.

  At this time, he took out a peach wood sword and shouted loudly from behind the house. In an instant, the fat man saw that the woman in the yard had disappeared.

  Zhen Cha Wenbin came out, and the fat man followed him out, pulling out the cotton balls stuffed in his nose and panting: "Hey, wheres that little girl?"

  "Still there."

  Fatso looked at the empty yard and scratched his head, saying: "Its gone, just like magic, where is the ghost now?"

  "Right there in the circle, dont go past it, help me get a handful of lime."

  The fat man trotted over with a bag of lime, and following Zhang Wenbins instructions, he grabbed two handfuls and scattered them into the circle. Suddenly, footprints began to appear out of thin air on the ground, and they kept increasing in number, constantly circling around inside the circle as if someone was trapped inside and desperately trying to find a way out.

  "This has left Fatso stunned, saying incredulously: My god, Master Cha, youve really caught a ghost, Im enlightened today."

  Zha Wenbin didnt have the time to fool around with him, this gourd formation was something he learned from Ma Suifeng, and it was his first time using it, so he wasnt sure if it would work or not, and how long it could trap his opponent. He shouted at Fatty: "Get the incense sticks, quick!" Then he sat down on the ground with his legs crossed, placed the peach wood sword across his legs, raised his left hand, and pointed his index finger upwards, while his thumb and the other three fingers were intertwined in a lotus shape, this was the famous "Xuan Tian Shang Di Finger Technique" of the Tian Zheng Dao.

  This deity is not that "deity", but the Xuanwu North Extreme True Martial Emperor in my Taoist school! He is the master of the sword immortals who preside over military affairs, second only to the ancestor of the sword immortals, Guangcheng Sword Immortal. This hand seal must be used in conjunction with the sword seal, and its just that Zhang Wenbin has not yet fully grasped the Tao. If his master Ma Suifeng needed to use the peach wood sword, this hand seal alone could drive out demons with the sword energy.

  One-handed seal, on this side, the fat man had already prepared the incense candles. Zha Wenbins right hand carefully entered his sleeve and pulled out a talisman, which was painted with the "General Token". The token was written with an edict summoning General Bai Yidai to come here, and it was a token from the Jade Flower Department. According to Taoist teachings: "Jinlian is the ancestor of the gods, Yu Hua is the origin of the air", so-called Yu Hua is the source of the original energy and righteous energy between heaven and earth, can dispel grievances, haze, filth, mold and other evil forces.

  Zha Wenbin pinched his left hand, and the talisman stuck to the paper. He then wrapped it around the candle, and with a "hum", the paper ignited. After igniting the talisman, he swung his left hand in front of his chest, and suddenly exerted force, striking the peach wood sword on his leg. The wooden sword bounced back, and his right hand grasped the hilt perfectly, completing the move in one smooth motion. Without ten years of practice, it would be impossible to achieve such fluidity.

  Pinching the wooden sword, he held the talisman in his left hand and wiped it on his body from front to back. The talisman paper left his hand and stuck to the wooden sword. There was already black dog blood on the sword that had solidified, but after heating up, the blood melted and stuck together with the talisman paper due to its viscosity. At this time, Cha Wenbin stood up again, holding the burning sword body and walking to the edge of the gourd. The footprints in the gourd began to retreat backwards, apparently wary of the thing in his hand.

  Cha Wenbin raised his sword, with his body half-crouched and his footsteps different from usual. Although he seemed to have taken less than a step, his entire body had already transformed hundreds of times, motionless yet seemingly in motion, moving yet seemingly still. This was the Taiji stance of the Taoist school, using the Seven Stars Heavenly Trample Step. With each step, one must adjust their position from head to toe to align with the divine position. As he finished this step, he loudly shouted at the circle within: "The Great Supreme Elder taught me to slay ghosts and demons, and bestowed upon me the divine talisman; I call out to the Jade Maiden, to capture and eliminate all evil!"

  After shouting this sentence, the wooden sword trembled, and from the arm, it began to exert force, a strong momentum naturally extended to the wrist and then to the sword spirit. The talisman paper mixed with burning fireballs flew towards the front.

  With a "poof" sound, it flew out over a meter and seemed to have hit something in mid-air before falling straight down to the ground.

  Cha Wenbin ignored him, turned over and took out another talisman from his bosom, bent down to dot and wipe the sword body again, stepped one step to the right, and recited in his mouth: "Climbing mountain stone crack, wearing belt seal; head wear magnolia cover, foot tread Xuanyuan shoes; left support six Jia, right guard six Ding; front have yellow god, after have Yue chapter. Divine teacher kill cut down, not avoid wealthy and powerful, first kill evil ghost, after behead night light. What god not surrender, what ghost dare to block? Hurry up like law order!"

  With a "whoosh", the second fireball flew out...

  After finishing this move, Zha Wenbins body began to sway back and forth, with a faint trace of blood in his mouth. He roughly wiped it away with his hand, but it was suppressed again. Why did this happen?

  Because he doesnt have a big seal!

  Talismans are not casually drawn, nor can they be used casually! Without a Daoist seal, you draw talismans, drawing talismans is equivalent to receiving an imperial edict, and receiving an imperial edict is equivalent to being appointed as an official. You dont have a seal, which means you dont have any official position, without an official position, you dare to command heavenly gods and generals, heavenly masters and ancestors, this will inevitably lead to backlash, isnt this a case of overstepping ones bounds?
