The two of them stood face to face for a long time, Xingyang Daoshi suddenly chuckled and slowly said, “Old Lei, we two really don’t have good things when we meet.”
Lei Yun scratched the back of his head, sighed, and said deeply, “That’s right.”
The last time they met, Xingyang Daoshi was still a young Daoist in his twenties, but now it has been sixty years.
The figures of the two men looked very lonely in the moonlight, and the cool breeze could not blow away the slightest sorrow from them.
In the main room, several respected villagers were sitting in the room, and Xingyang Daoshi sat on the top with a gloomy face and announced: “The Old Master is possessed by evil spirits, and must wait until noon when the sun is the strongest to get rid of them. I have already calculated that three days later will be the best time.”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was panicked. Wang Xiaohui’s father opened his mouth under the urging of the crowd: “Daoshi, everyone has seen the Old Master’s appearance today. If we wait for three days, then wouldn’t that be…”
Xingyang Daoshi shook his head and said slowly: “Don’t panic, I have already bound him. As long as the amulet is replaced every two hours, my disciple will be here watching.”
He added, “Villagers, don’t worry. I will be stationed in the village and will definitely remove the evil spirits.”
When the villagers heard this, they exchanged glances and nodded, slowly letting go of their worries.

The next morning, the villagers voluntarily arranged for people to guard the Old Master’s yard to prevent outsiders from entering.
In the room, Chujiu sat alone in front of the Old Master, meditating. Although his face was calm, he tightly held the peach wood sword left by Xingyang Daoshi.
“Is it okay for me to leave my eldest disciple alone there?”
Xingyang Daoshi sighed and slowly said, “The fledgling eagle must face the sky alone.”
Lei Yun laughed and said, “Right, right, right.”
Lei Yun’s smile stopped, and he teased, “Little Yangzi back then is now a famous headmaster.”
Xingyang Daoshi shook his head slightly and said, “How can I be so indecent at my age?”
“Hahaha.”
“Chujiu is the next headmaster I am training.”
At this time, the two of them were walking in the back mountain of Dawang Village. The surrounding trees were verdant, and the sunlight shone down through the dense branches and leaves.
Lei Yun walked slowly a few steps and sat down on a small stone in the back, looking at Xingyang Daoshi with a smile.
Xingyang Daoshi flicked his robe and sat down beside him, looking down at Dawang Village.
“This child, Ajjiu, is intelligent, has excellent aptitude, and a firm heart.” A gleam flashed in his eyes, and he turned to Lei Yun and said, “He will definitely be an excellent headmaster.”
Lei Yun sighed, complained a little, put his hands behind his head and lay down on the stone, and said, “You are not about to die yet, why are you arranging these things so early?”
“Old Lei, I know, you are not like me.”
Xingyang Daoshi flicked the whisk in his hand, sat cross-legged, and looked into the distance with a deep gaze.
“The life of mortals is extremely short. You are already eighty-three years old now, and you are considered to be old in ordinary families.” Xingyang Daoshi’s tone was vicissitudes. Lei Yun had never felt much change in him since he met him, but now his words made Lei Yun realize that Xingyang was old, and the Little Yangzi who used to slay demons and eliminate evil with him had entered the end of his life.
The two men quietly looked at the mountain, and the breeze brushed their faces. Lei Yun spoke first.
“What do you think about the Yin Jade?”
Xingyang Daoshi narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a serious face: “This extremely Yin and evil thing is now born, and it must not be left alone.”
Lei Yun got up, tore off a blade of grass next to the stone and said, “The Yin Jade really cannot fall into the hands of those who are interested. This was originally not a thing of the human world.”
“The piece in your hand, when the time is right, you will return this thing to the King of the Underworld.”
“It is really strange that the Old Master of Dawang Village was suddenly possessed. I am afraid that this evil spirit is also for the Yin Jade.” Xingyang Daoshi turned his head to look at Lei Yun, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
The Yin Jade is an evil thing for humans, but it is a treasure for evil spirits and ghost cultivators.
Legend has it that collecting five pieces of Yin Jade can obtain infinite power and attain immortality.
“Alas, I’m afraid there will be no peace next.”
Xingyang Daoshi stroked his beard and nodded.
Lei Yun suddenly smiled and joked: “If you stroke that beard any more, it will be gone.”
Xingyang Daoshi’s hand that was originally raised froze, his face was a little dazed, and he said helplessly, “Why do you always make these jokes?”
“Hehe.” Lei Yun suddenly approached and said with a grin, “In these years, have you seen your confidante?”
Xingyang Daoshi, who had a normal complexion, turned red when he heard this teasing remark, and his eyes were a little evasive.
“The roots of your ears are all red, Little Yangzi, can’t be.” Lei Yun leaned down and teased Xingyang Daoshi with a rough look in his eyes.
Xingyang Daoshi opened his mouth, but did not say anything, and turned his head to one side without looking at Lei Yun.
Sixty years ago, Xingyang Daoshi, under the order of his master, went up the mountain to eliminate demons, met Lei Yun, and also Yinshuang, who he still hides in his heart.
Thinking of the quirky Miaojiang girl back then, Xingyang Daoshi couldn’t help shaking his head and looking into the distance.
“So many years have passed, Yinshuang is now called Granny.”
Lei Yun fell down, changed to a comfortable position, and murmured: “Time waits for no one.”
When Hu Lanlan arrived at the foot of the mountain, Lei Yun and the two were still chatting.
A demonic aura suddenly appeared, and Xingyang Daoshi quickly turned his head, his eyes like lightning looking at Hu Lanlan, and angrily said: “Monster, what a dare.”
Lei Yun reacted and ran to Hu Lanlan’s face, smiling and said: “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry.”
“This is Hu Lanlan, from the fox clan, my friend for many years. When I met you, she was in seclusion, otherwise I would have introduced you.”
Hearing this explanation, Xingyang Daoshi nodded, got up and flicked his whisk and said, “I’m sorry.”
How dare Hu Lanlan show her face in front of Xingyang Daoshi, she quickly waved her hand, smiled, and then turned to Lei Yun but gave him a white look.
Lei Yun touched the back of his head and said slyly: “Lanlan, don’t you not see Daoists?”
Hu Lanlan really couldn’t stand his appearance, raised her foot and stomped on him hard, and went to sit aside.
Lei Yun was stomped so hard that he jumped up and down, went to Xingyang Daoshi, frowned and said, “No wonder you don’t see Yinshuang. How come all the men are so fierce now? The men after a thousand years are better, gentle and virtuous.”
Xingyang Daoshi was a little embarrassed, and his old face looked away unnaturally. Obviously, he didn’t like Lei Yun mentioning the name Yinshuang, especially in front of others.
Hu Lanlan snorted and ignored what Lei Yun said, and said directly: “Old Lei, you have something to do, so leave Xiaowang Village first.”
Lei Yun jumped onto the stone and sat down, and asked curiously: “Why are you leaving so soon? I still want to wait for this matter to end and take you to Wucheng for a few days.”
Hu Lanlan covered her face, frowned slightly, and looked at Lei Yun with a bit of disgust: “I’ll take you?” She quickly shook her head: “Let’s forget it, you go first, maybe we’ll meet again.”
Then she bowed to Xingyang Daoshi and disappeared in front of the two.
“Hey, hey…”
Lei Yun looked at Xingyang Daoshi and smiled, “Look, you scared her away.”
Hu Lanlan didn’t want to leave, but Xingyang Daoshi was here, so she didn’t plan to stay. Demons and Daoists are natural enemies. Even if they are all Lei Yun’s good friends, Hu Lanlan said that she couldn’t lose face in front of him no matter what, so it’s better to retreat first.
Time passed quickly, and three days passed in a flash.
The weather was exceptionally clear today, and the scorching sun was like fire. At noon, everyone only felt that they were being tanned when they stood in the sun.
A long piece of wood was erected in the wide courtyard, and an Eight Immortals table was placed with statues of the Three Pure Ones, as well as melons, fruits, candles, and the like.
The Old Master was tied to the wood with red ropes.
The villagers were still very surprised. Although the Old Master was old, his body was still very tall. But now the Daoist only used thick red ropes to bind the Old Master to the long wood.
An incense burner was placed in front of the statue. I don’t know what was lit in the burner. At this time, smoke was lingering and the fragrance was fragrant.
Xingyang Daoshi looked up at the sky and said to Chujiu beside him: “The time is up, you can cast the spell.”
Chujiu held the rooster carefully selected from the villagers and placed it beside the Eight Immortals table, and also dotted the rooster’s crown with cinnabar.
After doing these things, he said to Xingyang Daoshi: “Master, the disciple is ready.”
Xingyang Daoshi nodded and walked to the Eight Immortals table with the peach wood sword.
“Chujiu, watch carefully, you have to do it yourself these days.”
After speaking, he gestured in the air. Xingyang Daoshi’s movements were very slow, but they exuded endless power.
Lei Yun leaned against the courtyard door and watched Xingyang Daoshi’s movements, quite nostalgic, and couldn’t help but smile slightly.
He saw Xingyang Daoshi posing like a roc spreading its wings, and the peach wood sword in his hand suddenly pointed at the altar, and then circled around the Old Master twice, chanting unintelligible spells in his mouth.
In an instant, the rooster that was originally jumping and hopping suddenly lost its vitality, and the smoke outside the incense burner also broke.
Xingyang Daoshi couldn’t help but roar: “Monster, don’t show your original shape yet.”
These words, like a bell ringing, passed through everyone’s body.
A yellow light lit up around the Old Master, and his originally yellow face gradually turned pale, and the fangs in his mouth slowly disappeared.
“Look, the Old Master’s body has changed.” A timid villager shouted, his voice happy.
“He is really an immortal.”
“Daoshi is really amazing.”
Several villagers said with a smile, and thanked Xingyang Daoshi one after another.
Lei Yun frowned, but the evil spirit was so weak that it had not gone out yet.
Xingyang Daoshi originally wanted to use the Yang energy at noon to restrain the evil thing, but who knew that the evil thing was so cunning.
At this time, it was no longer on the surface of the Old Master’s body, but in fact it was hiding inside it.
“Monster, if you don’t come out again, I will tear you to pieces.”
Xingyang Daoshi’s tone was majestic, and his movements did not stop. He picked up the glutinous rice beside him and sprinkled it on the Old Master’s body, and then took the amulet and pasted it on the Old Master’s body.
He saw a shrill scream from the Old Master’s body, like a baby crying.
