Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

After a moment, the female ghost led Li Guanshi to a particularly thick tree.

The woman pointed to the base of the tree, and Li Guanshi dug out the bones buried underneath.

A foul stench assaulted his face, but the young man's expression remained unchanged, only his brows slightly furrowed as he looked at the bones below.

Judging from the bones, it should be the skeleton of a woman in her twenties.

Observing the bone structure, it was almost identical to the woman's appearance.

Li Guanshi carefully reburied the bones, confirming that what the woman said was true.

Then Li Guanshi said softly, "Since that's the case… would you like to enter the Yellow Springs for reincarnation? I can guide you."

This method of guidance was taught by Li Nanting, and they were all basic spells.

It could be performed by mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so it wasn't considered a powerful spell.

A look of hesitation appeared on the woman's face, and she said softly, "Immortal Master… can I enter reincarnation in two days?"

Li Guanshi shrugged, not knowing why the woman said this, only assuming she was reluctant to leave the mortal world, so he didn't try to persuade her further.

He got up and returned to the broken temple, while the woman, who had been intimidated before, naturally didn't dare to approach the broken temple at all.

The next morning, the young man with dark circles under his eyes hurried down the mountain.

However, just as Li Guanshi was descending the mountain, the sword spirit of the sword box appeared at the mountainside at some point, taking a deep look at the illusory figure of the woman.

His eyes were full of disdain and contempt.

And the sword spirit's voice also appeared in Li Guanshi's mind.

"She… is a bit strange."

The young man shrugged, his expression not changing.

The sword spirit took a deep look at Li Guanshi, and for a moment, he didn't know what he was thinking.

She frowned slightly, not expecting that one day she would be unable to see through a young man's mind, and Li Guanshi didn't intend to explain to the sword spirit.

The sword spirit snorted coldly and returned to the sword box.

Li Guanshi smiled slightly, thinking that this sword spirit was really arrogant…

Xingyun Town.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the town, Li Guanshi saw a noisy crowd, with people constantly pushing each other.

Li Guanshi jumped onto a tree branch and sat on it to watch the excitement.

Many people in the crowd were wearing colorful clothes, which should have been dyed by dyes.

In the center of the crowd, an old man in a Taoist robe was surrounded by them.

Holding a peach wood sword, he scurried around with his head in his hands.

"What kind of Taoist priest! I think you're just a swindler trying to cheat money!!"

"That's right!! We provided you with good food and drinks, and you didn't do anything!"

"Hmph! In my opinion, he's just here to cheat money. Let's wait for the Immortal Master from the Great Xia Sword Sect."

The white-browed old Taoist covered his head and shouted, "I've been trying for three days, and that vengeful ghost should have appeared last night."

"How would I know he wouldn't appear! Ouch, don't hit my face!"

Li Guanshi was watching the excitement on the tree when someone suddenly pointed at him and said, "Whose child is that? Come down quickly!"

"That's our town's sacred tree. How did you get up there!"

The young man was slightly stunned, and then he saw many red ropes hanging on the tree, with many wooden plaques hanging below the red ropes.

Da da!

The noisy crowd quieted down at this time, and everyone's eyes turned to the young man with pure white eyes.

The crowd gradually separated, and an old man with white hair walked out from the middle.

The old man sized up Li Guanshi and said in a slightly tentative voice, "Are you the Immortal Master from the Great Xia Sword Sect?"

Li Guanshi waved his hand and took out his identity jade token to show his identity.

Immediately, the villagers of the entire Xingyun Town bowed to the young man.

The old man at the head said in a deep voice, "My humble name is Gu Yihong, and I, along with the villagers of Xingyun Town, pay our respects to the Immortal Master of the Great Xia Sword Sect!"

Everyone bowed sincerely.

This scene greatly shocked the young man!

What kind of sect must this be to make an ordinary sect disciple receive such respect within its jurisdiction!

This was the first time Li Guanshi felt very proud to be a disciple of the Great Xia Sword Sect!

Li Guanshi waved his hand and changed into his sect attire, straightened his clothes, and bowed in return, "Li Guanshi, a disciple of the Heavenly Thunder Peak of the Great Xia Sword Sect, is here under commission!"

Gu Yihong was over eighty years old, and his white hair and haggard face made him look even older.

The old man quickly came to the young man's side and said in a deep voice, "Immortal Master, you must save our Xingyun Town!"

"Four people have died in just a few days!!"

"Now the whole town is in a panic, and many people say they have seen ghosts haunting the place."

Li Guanshi nodded slightly, and his eyes happened to see a group of men throwing the yellow-robed old Taoist out.

At first, the old Taoist wanted to say a few words of abuse, but when he saw the young man's strange eyes, he swallowed the words in his mouth.

He packed up his things and ran away in a dejected manner.

The old man noticed the young man's gaze and said somewhat embarrassedly, "The recent events have spread to the surrounding villages."

"As a result, many swindlers have come to cheat people."

"Immortal Master, please come with me and sit in my house. I will tell you about the current situation."

Li Guanshi nodded slightly, and then walked towards the town chief's house surrounded by everyone.

The town chief's family was well-off, and their courtyard alone covered an area of nearly a hundred feet.

At this time, the whole town knew that the Great Xia Sword Sect had sent someone.

The people who were originally staying at home also came to the town chief's house.

In the hall, including the town chief, there were three old men, all of whom were highly respected in the town.

After a brief greeting, Li Guanshi took the initiative to speak, "Elder Gu, when I came down the mountain the day before yesterday, the mission only said that three people had died. Now it's four?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed slightly.

Gu Yihong was silent for a moment and said softly, "That's right, Wang Ergou in the town died the night before yesterday!"

"He died a terrible death!"

Looking at the old man's pale face, Li Guanshi frowned and asked softly, "How terrible was it?"

The old man glanced at the people beside him and said with lingering fear.

"Why don't… I take you to see it in person."

Li Guanshi slowly got up and said softly, "Okay, it's good to understand what's going on."

Then everyone got up and walked towards the back street.

Along the way, Li Guanshi saw many people in the town, men and women, old and young.

There was a dye house every ten steps, but now the entire Xingyun Town was relatively desolate, and merchants who heard that it was haunted here did not dare to come again.

After a while, Li Guanshi came to a slightly remote small courtyard under the leadership of the old man.

Li Guanshi walked on the road with no expression on his face. Along the way, he was observing the expressions of everyone in the town.
