　　”Cao Sixi, come back！”
　　Seeing this, Gu Yu instinctively wanted to grab Cao Sixi, but unexpectedly, Cao Sixi directly jumped off the steep slope and rushed towards the small courtyard with the lit lantern, rolling and crawling.
　　Gu Yu immediately turned his head and looked at Xu Taiping, saying：
　　”Immortal Taiping, that small courtyard must be an illusion. There has been no one in Plum Garden Village for decades！”
　　When saying this, Gu Yu paused for a moment, and then a look of fear flashed in his eyes as he said：
　　”That small courtyard with the lit lights is extremely, extremely likely, extremely likely to be an illusion created by demons and ghosts！”
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping was very calm and said：
　　”Don’t panic. Just follow and take a look.”
　　Dongfang Yuejian beside him also smiled and said：
　　”Gu Yu, you are also a cultivator. Why are you still afraid of that little ghost？”
　　Xuanzhi also smiled and said at this time：
　　”There are indeed two auras of ghosts there, but they are both very weak and don’t seem like evil ghosts. They should be two wandering souls with unresolved obsessions.”
　　During the conversation, Xu Taiping had already jumped down and leaped off that earthen slope.
　　The three of them immediately followed.
　　After catching up with Xu Taiping, Dongfang Yuejian saw that there was still a trace of timidity in Gu Yu’s eyes when he looked at the small courtyard, so he deliberately smiled and joked：
　　“Gu Yu, why weren’t you afraid at all when you saw the ghosts of your husband and elder brother just now？”
　　Gu Yu scratched his head somewhat ashamed and said：
　　“My husband and elder brother will not harm me.”
　　Xuanzhi then comforted Gu Yu with a smile and said：
　　“Don’t worry. Wandering souls are different from fierce ghosts. They will only walk according to the remaining obsessions in their lifetimes. They can’t even harm ordinary people, let alone us cultivators.”
　　Upon hearing this, Gu Yu immediately nodded repeatedly and said：
　　“Thank you, Immortal Xuanzhi, for the reminder.”
　　At this time, Xu Taiping suddenly stopped.
　　Gu Yu, who almost bumped into Xu Taiping, looked up at the small courtyard and then asked very puzzledly：
　　“Immortal Taiping, the small courtyard is right in front. Why did you stop？”
　　While taking out the Guicang Jade Carving Knife, Xu Taiping explained：
　　“The auras on the three of us are too strong. If we get close, those two wandering souls will probably be scattered to pieces on the spot.”
　　After being said by Xu Taiping like this, Dongfang Yuejian also realized at this time that they shouldn’t approach the small courtyard so abruptly. She immediately took out two talismans from the ring and handed them to Xuanzhi and Gu Yu respectively.
　　Then she opened her mouth and explained：
　　“These two Breath Convergence Talismans can only converge the auras on your bodies by five or six percent. You also have to converge your own auras.”
　　Upon hearing this, the two immediately nodded in unison.
　　Regarding the method of restraining breath, Gu Yu had already learned it when he was in seclusion in the cave of the Eye of the Earth Vein before.
　　After seeing that several people had restrained the aura on their bodies, Xu Taiping immediately stepped forward again, and while walking, he also admonished：
　　“To prevent any accidents, you should all follow behind me for the time being.”
　　Even without using magical power or spiritual power, Xu Taiping’s physical body can at least prevent 80% of accidents.
　　Soon, several people followed behind Xu Taiping and entered the small courtyard with a faint yellow light on.
　　Looking along that light, several people immediately saw Cao Sixi.
　　At this moment, Cao Sixi was sitting at an old square table in the main room. On the table, there was an old oil lamp and several plates of dishes that didn’t look very delicate, but the portion was very sufficient.
　　And at the table, there was also a mother and son with smiles on their faces.
　　The mother of this mother and son had a kind face and gray hair.
　　The child looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, barefoot, and his body looked extremely strong！
　　“Father, I have kept this pot of wine for many years. Today, you and Afu have a good drink！”
　　The old woman picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Cao Sixi.
The fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager then picked up the wine glass and grinned, looking at Cao Sixi and said:
　　”Father, today I’m toasting you to welcome you back！”
As he spoke, the dark-skinned and robust teenager raised his wine cup and drained it in one gulp.
　　Cao Sixi picked up his cup, nodded excitedly and said：
　　”Good son, good Afu, Father will drink this cup！”
　　As he spoke, Cao Sixi also picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one go.
　　And after drinking this cup of wine, Cao Sixi was no longer just a skeleton of blood, and returned to his normal appearance.
　　Gu Yu, who had been stunned for a long time, finally spoke up and said：
　　”These two ghosts… Could it be… Could they be the wife and son that Cao Sixi has always been thinking about, Yuniang and Afu？”
　　Xu Taiping, who had already guessed this scene, stood with his hands behind his back and nodded slightly.
　　Although Dongfang Yuejian had also guessed this, after seeing the happy scene of the Cao Sixi family, she suddenly said with great emotion：
　　”I never thought that this mother and son really waited for Cao Sixi for more than two hundred years.”
　　Xuanzhi put his hands together and began to chant scriptures in a low voice.
　　At this time, Cao Sixi, who had drunk three cups in a row with his son, seemed a little drunk and suddenly raised his wine cup with a crying tone and said:
　　”Yuniang, Afu, I know you must have suffered a lot these years. I’m sorry for you！”
　　As he spoke, Cao Sixi drained the wine in the cup.
　　Then, Cao Sixi suddenly turned around, dropped to his knees, and kept kowtowing to Xu Taiping and the others, saying：
　　“You immortals, I, Cao Sixi, have aided the evildoers and committed heinous crimes. It would be no more than fair if I were never to be reborn for all eternity.”
　　As he spoke, he forcefully banged his head on the ground, and then looked at Xu Taiping and the others with tears streaming down his face again and said：
　　“But my wife and son have suffered a lonely and hard life. I beg the three immortals to use some immortal means to let them be reborn into a rich and noble family and not suffer these hardships in the next life.”
　　Facing Cao Sixi’s crying and pleading, the eyes of Xu Taiping and Dongfang Yuejian beside him all looked at Master Xuanzhi.
　　Master Xuanzhi, who had been chanting scriptures with his eyes closed and his head lowered, finally opened his eyes at this time.
　　He first smiled slightly at Xu Taiping and Dongfang Yuejian and said：
　　“Miss Yuejian, Brother Taiping, leave this matter to me.”
　　Xu Taiping and Dongfang Yuejian didn’t say anything, but just nodded.
　　Then, Master Xuanzhi changed into a kasaya, and then with the Buddha’s light lingering around his body, he raised one hand vertically and walked straight towards the family of three.
　　When he walked to the door, Xuanzhi suddenly stretched out a hand to the family of three：
　　“Take　my　hand.”
　　The wandering souls of the mother and son were stunned in place.
　　Seeing this, Cao Sixi stood up abruptly and took the hands of the mother and son and put them on the hand of Master Xuanzhi.
　　After holding the hands of the mother and son, Master Xuanzhi suddenly looked at Cao Sixi with a smile and said：
　　“And you.”
　　Cao Sixi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly waved his hand and said：
　　“I am deeply sinful and there is no need to trouble the immortal to save me. Let me become a lonely soul and let nature take its course！”
　　Xuanzhi shook his head and said：
　　“Put it up, and the poor monk will ferry you for a while.”
　　Upon hearing this, Cao Sixi couldn’t believe it and said：
　　“I… Can I really？”
　　Xuanzhi just nodded with a smile.
　　Cao Sixi immediately put his hand on Xuanzhi’s palm.
　　Immediately, Xuanzhi closed his eyes slightly and began to chant scriptures in a low voice.
　　Behind him, six golden vortex-like light groups appeared again.
　　Soon, the ghosts of the three members of Cao Sixi’s family began to turn into three groups of white light little by little.
　　Finally, these three groups of flowing light flew into one of the golden vortices behind Xuanzhi together.
　　In an instant, the surrounding heaven and earth became dark again.
　　The small courtyard in front of everyone had already disappeared.
　　Xuanzhi put his hands together and looked at Xu Taiping and the others with a smile and said：
“This salvation hasended.” ”
　　Xu Taiping nodded with a smile and said：
　　”Thank you, Master Xuanzhi.”
　　However, just after he finished speaking, with a “click”, a skull glowing with a red light suddenly fell to the ground.
　　Everyone took a closer look and found that this skull was actually the skull of Cao Sixi’s Blood Bone.
　　Dongfang Yuejian immediately stepped forward curiously and picked up the skull：
　　”Wasn’t that Blood Bone condensed from blood evil energy？ Why is there still a skull？”
　　Since she couldn’t see the reason, she handed the skull to Xu Taiping again.
　　Xu Taiping, who reached out and took the skull, originally wanted to inject a little true essence into the skull to see if there was any reaction, but before he could inject true essence into the skull, the Lotus Eye in his left eye suddenly became extremely hot.
　　Immediately after, a scene directly appeared in his mind——
　　”A woman covered in blood was fleeing frantically in the middle of the ruins.”
　　And after Xu Taiping finally saw the woman’s appearance clearly, he suddenly froze there, and then said with a look of astonishment in his eyes：
　　”Sister Lingyue？！”
