What was going on?
"You did everything you could to trap me in this formation array and sent so many people to take my life. If it weren't for these little guys protecting me, I would have died many years ago..."
Seeing the old man getting more and more agitated as he spoke, Yun Qin was dumbfounded. She quickly interrupted, "Wait, do you know what you are?"
After a series of strenuous conversations with the old man and the hidden ghost's incessant embellishment, Yun Qin finally understood the truth about this "haunted house".
The old man's name was Zhang Yuan. When he was a child, he followed his master to learn the Taoist art of subduing demons and ghosts. When he came of age and finished his apprenticeship, his master ordered him to leave with nothing but an ancient Taoist book in hand and go vanquish demons and ghosts in the human world. He was never allowed to return to his master.
