Black and White Impermanence really didn't let me calm down for long, and he sent me a secret order from the Underworld within two days of leaving.

Nie Xiaochun took the secret order and said: "This mission is to bring back the earth soul of a warlock. That person's name is Mu Wenmin. He is a civil warlock."

"Civil Warlock?" I couldn't help but frown: "Is Mu Wenmin a carpenter? Or a bricklayer?"

"None of them!" Nie Xiaochun said solemnly: "He is a master craftsman!"

I couldn't help but frown.

Civilian sorcerers are mostly from the two categories of carpenters and bricklayers. Both types of craftsmen worship Lu Ban as their ancestor, and most of the secret techniques are passed down in the "Book of Lu Ban". Above them, there is another type of people who are also classified as civil sorcerers.

That's the master craftsman.

Craftsmen can also be understood as ancient architects.

In addition to designing residential buildings, craftsmen most often build temples and mausoleums. Therefore, real craftsmen not only understand the art of civil engineering, but are also proficient in Feng Shui formations and even the secret art of mechanism. They have a transcendent status in the art.

I said with a bit of solemnity: "You said that person's surname is Mu? There is a tree in the south that connects the sky and the earth, and a leaf in the north that crosses the sea. Is he the descendant of Nan Yimu?"

"It's not clear yet!" Nie Xiaochun also looked at Ye Yang while speaking.

Ye Yang shook his head and said: "The south cannot cross the river, and the north cannot cross the pass! This is the rule set by Yiye Yimu back then. Nan Yimu will not fish across the border. Besides, Nan Yimu's surname is not Mu, but An!

"

Then I nodded: Ye Yang should not be mistaken.

According to legend, Nan Yimu and Bei Yiye are natural enemies. To put it bluntly: Nan Yimu specializes in building houses and making tombs, while Bei Yiye specializes in demolishing houses and turning them upside down.

The feud between the two families has lasted for hundreds of years without interruption. In the end, they each separated their areas of activity, and they were completely at peace with each other.

I knew that Ye Yang didn't like talking about Bei Yiye, so he simply changed the subject: "When was the last time that Mu Wenmin appeared?"

Nie Xiaochun said: "The last time he appeared was more than two hundred years ago, which happened to be the end of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the Qing Dynasty had not been completely overthrown, but it was also dying."

"According to the records in the Book of Life and Death, Mu Wenmin should have died in the Dragon Burial Temple. However, when the ghost sent to fetch the earthly soul, not only was Mu Wenmin missing, but even the Dragon Burial Temple had disappeared!"

"What? Not even a temple is gone?" I couldn't help but stand up.

"Yes! You heard it right!" Nie Xiaochun said: "According to what the ghosts said at the time, when they arrived at the Dragon Burial Temple, it was as if the temple had never been built before and there was nothing there. At first they thought they were leaving

We were in the wrong place, and after repeated confirmations, we were sure that Dragon Burial Temple was gone!"

I asked casually: "Where are those two ghosts?"

"One soul died, and the other was reincarnated." Nie Xiaochun said: "According to the underworld register, the two ghost missionaries later encountered resistance from the demon souls. One was killed on the spot, and the other ran back even though he risked his life, but was also seriously injured."

"The underworld allowed him to reincarnate because of his merits. However, the other person's soul never returned to the underworld."

I said to myself: "What a coincidence! Can we find out where the reincarnated ghost has gone?"

"Originally, I was reincarnated in Sandao Village. Now it has been converted into a community."

Nie Xiaochun took out the map and said: "According to Zhao Ci's information, the original location of Dragon Burial Temple should be here. There is only a community called Mingshi Haoting nearby, which was the original Sandao Village."

"It used to be a high-end residential area, and the people who lived there were either celebrities from the provincial capital or wealthy businessmen from outside. After liberation, some of the original old houses were also allocated to local residents. Later, because the place was too remote, they were gradually abandoned.

Not many people live there now!”

"Hmm!" I said, "Has anything strange happened there?"

"Yes! And there are many of them!" Nie Xiaochun said: "There is a saying over there: there are three roads and eighteen houses, and there is a nest of ghosts on the first floor!"

"It is said that there is no house in Sandao Village that is not haunted, and each house is haunted in a different way. Some people say that the eighteen houses are the eighteen levels of hell."

"Over the years, there have been many people who walked into celebrity palaces out of curiosity but never came out. There were twelve incidents recorded by the police alone, and each case had no result."

"Moreover, these cases are all missing cases. It can be said that the people who go in will not be seen alive or dead, right?"

Nie Xiaochun added at this point: "These cases happen every other year, and they all happen at about a fixed time. If calculated according to time, the next time someone disappears should be three days later."

"That is the time when Mu Wenmin should have died as recorded in the Book of Life and Death."

When Lin Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Does anyone still live in a place like this?"

"There is someone!" Nie Xiaochun said with certainty: "The data shows that there is a family in every house. There are a total of eighteen households there. This is the amount of data we can have at the moment!"
