To accurately lock it, it was necessary to activate the “tracking talisman” throughout the country at the same time, and the consciousness spans tens of millions of kilometers to include it under one’s own consciousness.

This was a means that only real immortals could use.

Gu Zhisang, an “earth-level immortal” who failed to pass the tribulation and whose soul and body were still not in harmony, can’t do it.

Her awareness range can only cover a small province or a few cities at most.

It was difficult to take care of other places.

Coincidentally, Gu Zhisang was a messenger from the underworld. She can make up for her lack of awareness by other means – she can use the ghost gate connecting the yin and yang worlds to go to any place she wants to go in the blink of an eye.

In this way, she can divide the area and search for one city after another.

Gu Zhisang, who figured out the capture method, breathed a sigh of relief, listed all the mantras and spells to be used, and handed them to Yan Cheng.

“Thank you for your trouble.”

Yan Cheng replied: “I’ll do my best. I don’t know how to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts. This is all I can do. I’m glad I can help. What’s more, you have saved me so many times, and I have no way to repay you.”

When he spoke, his eyebrows were gentle.

When these words fell into Gu Zhisang’s ears, she was stunned again.

The familiar feeling that was about to come out brought back the fragments hidden in her memory.

The sickly prince, Yan Huishan, who once stayed on their mountaintop, from a little boy to a young man, always had a warm and gentle smile and brought all kinds of imperial treasures and delicacies to her mountain gate.

After she went down the mountain to practice killing ghosts, she always liked to drink strong liquor and then pour it on her sword.

Before going out of the mountain, there would always be neatly arranged packages outside her living room, which contained gold and silver money and a pot of royal jade wine worth thousands of gold.

Or the medicinal herbs she used to temper her body, which she went from looking for and picking on the mountaintop herself to the little prince waving his hand and carrying boxes of them up the mountain like cabbages every year.

Yan Huishan was too pure and kind. In the words of the modern world, he was a rich and naive person.

When he first came to the mountain, he was only twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a snow-white fox fur coat. He wanted to give all the things he brought out of the palace to Gu Zhisang and Jun Hong.

Gu Zhisang was not used to accepting other people’s goodwill. At first, she often put on a tense expression and let the things sent by others go out of the mountain gate.

‘Don’t send them in the future, I don’t need them.’

Every time she finished speaking and turned to leave, she could see the little boy’s depressed expression from the corner of her eyes, like a poor puppy knocked down by loneliness.

After only a moment of loss, the young prince smiled again and followed her and Jun Hong’s ass, calling them Master.

One time, when Gu Zhisang went out of the mountain, her eyes were glued when she saw a scene outside the mountain gate.

There was only a rattan chair in the deserted mountain forest.

A young man was wearing a bamboo cape and reading an ancient book silently. Behind his rattan chair sat a young deer nibbling grass. The mountain breeze and bird calls passed by him, but they did not cause any ripples.

At that moment, she felt a faint loneliness in this young man.

It was also true that if Yan Huishan hadn’t been weak and sick since he was born, he would not have been sent to this boring mountain so early, but would have been living in the palace with luxurious clothes and food, enjoying himself.

From a favored child of heaven to a poor little person living under someone else’s roof and without playmates, there was a big gap between them.

As if frightened by the clear eyes of Gu Zhisang who came out of the mountain, the young deer that was chewing grass slowly behind the rattan chair jumped up and hopped into the mountain.

The young prince noticed the movement, suddenly looked up, and saw Gu Zhisang in front of the mountain gate.

His originally silent eyebrows suddenly became lively, curved into a soft arc, raised his hand, and waved: ‘Master Gu, you are out of the mountain.’

The clean appearance that can still be seen at a glance made Gu Zhisang’s heart waver for the first time, and she felt a little sympathy.

She replied with a few words indifferently, and the young man followed with bright eyes, picked up the little dog at his feet:

‘Master Gu, when I went back to the palace last week, I listened to the folk storybooks. The tea house told the story of your chivalry and annihilation of evil spirits…’

Later, I don’t know why, Yan Huishan became more and more skilled, always more worried than Jun Hong, and completely treated the Taoist Temple as his own home.

Her master Jun Hong was a greedy and alcoholic old naughty boy, who was happy and happy every day when he had wine to drink.

Later, Yan Huishan, who was always respectful and gentle, learned a trick from him——

Whenever Gu Zhisang refused, he would look depressed:

‘You and Master Jun Hong have pulled me back from the gates of hell many times and saved my life. I am a mortal. I can’t help you exorcise evil spirits and solve problems, and I can’t help you overcome difficulties. All I have are some material possessions.

‘If you don’t accept these, I feel guilty and don’t know how to repay you.’

‘……’

Now that she thinks about it, what Yan Cheng said and the feeling he gave her were like a replica of Yan Huishan.

Gu Zhisang knew that her intuition was very sharp.

When she looked at Yan Cheng again, there was a lot more scrutiny and thinking in her eyes.

She was a little suspicious of Yan Cheng’s identity.

Suppressing her doubts, Gu Zhisang said: “I’m going back. The program team sent me the script for the eighth episode. I should go directly to the program recording site. What about you?”

Yan Cheng was stunned for a moment and realized that they were going their separate ways.

He was not in high spirits and pursed his lips and said: “I should go back too.”

It didn’t take long for his family to inform his parents about the abduction by the deputy head of the Qianqing Sect.

Although he contacted his family as soon as he was rescued, Fu Qingan was still anxious and angry, and the headquarters could not be left without someone in charge.

He heard from the secretary that during the days when he was “missing”, some rumors arose in the company from nowhere.

He should go back to deal with these things.

“Do you want me to arrange a special plane?” Yan Cheng said, preparing to take out his mobile phone.

Who knows what he suddenly saw, his eyebrows were slightly frowned upon but soon returned to normal.

Gu Zhisang refused and said: “No, I have something else to do.”

Yan Cheng replied: “Okay, then have a safe trip. I will have the technical team develop the code as soon as possible and strive to upgrade the system as soon as possible.”

“You should also pay attention to safety. If you find that the Yin energy in your body is moving, contact me directly.” Gu Zhisang said.

After leaving, Gu Zhisang called Zheng Ruyu.

As soon as the call was connected, the other party’s tone was nervous and excited:

“Master Gu, are you serious? Can you combine network technology and metaphysical formations?!”

Gu Zhisang responded: “The separate plug-in did run successfully. You can follow up with Yan Cheng for the specific situation. I believe the official technology must be strong.”

Zheng Ruyu nodded repeatedly in the office at the other end, pacing back and forth:

“We have never thought about this direction before. If we can connect metaphysics to the Internet and connect every citizen’s device, it will be much easier to crack down on metaphysical means of evil!”

“We can even develop a software specifically, or develop an operating component in the electronic system as Yan Cheng proposed, which is used to sense the evil spirits around the user of the device.”

“As long as there are evil spirits around the user, or someone uses metaphysical means to murder him, the software that captures the residual breath can automatically alarm, upload the victim’s information to the information database of the spirit group, and then send someone to solve it.”

“In this way, cracking and suppressing metaphysical cases is no longer just talk, but can be implemented in practice!”

Listening to Zheng Ruyu’s imagination, Gu Zhisang knew that the official upper echelons must have taken this matter seriously.

If it had been as she planned, the official and the Special Spiritual Department made such software, presumably the two tragedies in Fengcheng could have been discovered and stopped early, and many innocent people would have been saved.

Gu Zhisang: “But it’s difficult.”
