I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 299

Although the shadow Chang Le was retrieved by Die Er, he was in extremely bad condition.

This transition is very similar to the folk saying "the soul is lost".

When he was a handsome Taoist priest working in the streets and alleys in Qingshui County, Gu Yao also called the souls of some lost children.

But those children just bumped into some hidden things by accident, Gu Yao used water acupuncture, yelled twice, and it was over.

But the shadow Changle in front of him is not so simple.

She seems to have successfully exchanged her soul with Princess Changle.

In the previous reincarnation, the shadow Changle was not only transferred away, but the soul fusion between her and Princess Changle through the secret method was originally suspended when entering here, but it started again during the reincarnation, and it became more intense.

The soul of Princess Changle came here through the close connection created by the secret method, but for some reason, the two souls did not merge into one, but repelled each other, and competed for this body, eventually causing the soul of Shadow Changle to be squeezed out. out of the flesh,
But in the end, the soul of Princess Changle was drawn out again, and in the end, the two souls of Changle were lost in this space.

After careful inspection, Gu Yao found the traces of two souls competing for the physical body on the physical body of Shadow Changle, and then realized the truth.

"It's actually Shadow Changle who lost, it's unbelievable."

Gu Yao was very surprised by this result.

The soul strength of the two should be comparable. In this way, the decisive factor in the competition for the physical body should be the degree of willpower. No matter how you think about it, the shadow Changle who plays the guest killer should be far stronger than the pampered, even without real struggle. Princess Changle who lived her life.

Gu Yao and Die'er were talking about Changle, the old man over there had already broken free from Jing Yin's hand, grabbed the grunting man, and the two of them kept grunting, and their eyes were blurred while talking , crying with a headache.

This movement brought Gu Yao and Die Er back to their senses, and diverted their attention from the two princesses of Changle.

"Master, what are they?"

Jing Yin was a little helpless and said: "When the old man saw the old man, his eyes were full of tears. Judging from the battle between the two, they are indeed from the same era. By the way, where did you find this man? Did he dance?"

By the way, she made fun of Gu Yao's previous actions.

Gu Yao hurriedly waved his hand, pointed to the wood that had been cut into a pile of sawdust and said: "This man was sealed in a tree hundreds of years ago. I just came here and accidentally found one of his arms, which was just in time to get out. When you arrived during the exchange, you saw and heard what he said, we couldn’t understand.”

Shizune just nodded with a smile.

Gu Yao was short of breath for a while, and changed the subject: "Where did you find them? He is with the princess?"

The one who answered was Die Er, she looked at the crying old man who was out of breath and said: "It's behind a rock in the middle of the mountain, Princess Changle is going around there, the old man is following her, I don’t know what he was talking about, and then we came, and he wanted to escape, so he grabbed the county chief and ran away, and then we caught him, but he still refused to say anything.”

The silent interface said: "Yeah, it seems that I was frightened by your previous routine. This time I talked to him, but he ignored me at all. No matter what I said or asked, he just didn't answer. Originally, I wanted to find you later. , try some methods that I haven’t used before, but you find this person again, maybe you can get him to speak.”

Gu Yao nodded, turned around and looked at the two of them.

The old man and the man in sackcloth hugged each other, both crying and laughing, with complicated facial expressions, but the man in sackcloth restrained himself a bit, while the old man burst out with all his emotions.

Seeing Gu Yao's eyes, the man in sackcloth hurriedly let go of the old man, grabbed the old man's arm, and pointed at Gu Yao with an excited expression: "Hey Baru, baru!"

There was another burst of new Gulu language, and Gu Yao was a little confused.

Fortunately, the old man stood in front with a very reluctant face, wiped the tears and snot from his face with his robe, and translated: "He said, thank you for waking him up, otherwise he would not know that he has been asleep for so long, The one who made the oath has broken the promise again."

While saying thank you, Gu Yao curiously asked the old man: "Is he the child you mentioned?"

The old man stared at Gu Yao fiercely, and after translating his words, he squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "It's one of them."

"That's why you buried him in the tree?"

"No."

The old man moaned and said: "The old man is just a mortal, to make him sleep in a tree, someone with magic power is needed."

"Is that so? Then who buried him, and who was the one who broke the oath? Why was he buried in a tree?" Gu Yao threw out a series of questions.

The old man obviously didn't want to answer, and after being bored for a long time, it was the man in sackcloth who seemed to sense something, pulled the old man's arm and muttered a few words, which made the old man reluctantly speak.

"The ones who buried him here are you, outsiders like you, who strayed into this place in the past, then stayed here hard, and finally made an agreement with him to let him sleep."

"As for why, of course it is to protect Lady Weaver from being completely polluted, so they voluntarily merged with these trees and faced those evil gods together with Lady Weaver's remnant soul."

The old man snorted, squinted at Gu Yao and said: "We people are different from foreigners like you. Not only do we keep what we say, we keep promises, and it is hard to follow what we say, but we also respect the old and love the young, cherish the old, and never let them Elderly people are suffering, and it is even more impossible to attack them at will, and oppress them with spells. They don’t know a little bit of loyalty and filial piety, but it looks like it.”

The old man babbled a lot, like a mantra recited by a Tang monk, Gu Yao hurriedly said: "Mr., it was the young and reckless boy who offended the old man, but he was in a hurry. Please forgive me. Please forgive me. Let's figure it out."

The old man has always been bitter because Gu Yao grabbed him before, cast spells on him, and searched for his soul. Gu Yao's apology is still full of anger.

In the end, for the sake of the man in sackcloth, he explained it to him.

"Back then, there was a little Taoist priest who entered here by mistake and was not in a hurry to leave. He sat by the lake every day, and gradually became acquainted with us and became friends."

"Later, some accidents happened. The remnant soul of Lady Zhinu was disturbed. We were very worried. The little Taoist priest from outside noticed our worries and made a deal with us. We helped him take what he wanted. He Help bury everyone in the tree trunk."

"That's it."

Gu Yao thought for a while, raised his hand, and drew Sishou's face in the air—Sishou and Ying Mudao are brothers, they look very similar, but Sishou is a young man, and Ying Mudao is an old man.

The old man nodded: "That's him."

Gu Yao thought that it was as expected, and waved his hands to scatter the portraits: "Ying Mudao was able to get the Taotie claws because of the help of these people? But they are all mortals, so how did they do it?"

Pointing to the surrounding trees casually, Gu Yao asked: "Are there any people in these trees? Do we need to dig them all out? I think this one is very excited."

The old man hurriedly shook his head: "Don't, because you guys harassed yourself and triggered the riot of Lady Zhinu, everyone has been completely wiped out. Only he survived, so you should stop harassing them and let them accompany you Be beside Lady Zhinu."

Gu Yao frowned: "Accompany Zhinu? Are you Zhinu's followers?"

Both the old man and the man in sackcloth nodded repeatedly.

The old man said: "Of course, we hope to be with Lady Zhinu forever and never be separated."

Gu Yao: "So you don't live in the village?"

The old man took a mouthful of spittle in disdain, hehe sneered, showing half of his yellow teeth: "Those idiots, the old man wouldn't go with them, thinking about reincarnation as if in a dream, and the result is not the same as it is now?"

Gu Yao nodded, and looked up at the strange red tree above. The leaves were shining like blood, and under the cold sunlight, they swayed with a coquettish red light.

No matter how you look at it, these trees are full of ominous and malicious.

But it turned out to be the coffin of Zhinu's followers.

He stared like this for a while, and the old man couldn't help urging Gu Yao to leave here: "You outsiders, hurry up and leave, don't disturb Lady Zhinu's dream anymore, the peace of Banyue Lake will disappear every time because of you .”

"Old man, have you ever seen a mermaid?" Gu Yao asked suddenly.

For some reason, he always felt that there was something wrong with the old man's words.

These red trees, according to Gu Yao's records in the village, are a seal for Banyue Lake, suppressing the overflow of the lake.

In the past, high mountains were raised from the flat ground, and the lake was lifted up to the sky. In Gu Yao's view, it was indeed the case.

But if these people are believers of Zhinu, how could they treat the lake where Zhinu was buried like this?
disrespectful!

So Gu Yao continued: "The lake here is extremely clear. There are no fish in the lake, but the juniors released it before."

The old man's face trembled unconsciously, and his voice became urgent: "The mermaid is the manifestation of Lady Zhinu, and this will only happen when Lady Zhinu is disturbed to sleep. You saw it, because you harassed Zhinu at that time. My lord, since you saw it, leave immediately."

"Really?" Gu Yao muttered to himself, those mermaids were transformed by the soul of the faceless woman who came here, and outside, the changed appearance was still the face of Princess Changle.

"Changle and Zhinu"

Royal family
"Changle is a container made by the royal family to carry the power of Zhinu?"

Gu Yao speculated in this way, and turned his eyes back to the shadow Changle who was standing there blankly, remembering that Die Er said that when he met them, the old man had been following the lost shadow Changle, and said:
"Does Zhinu look like her?"

The old man jumped up like an electric shock and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Seeing Gu Yao look at Ying Changle, he calmed down slightly and said, "The old man just saw this girl alone, and was worried that something might happen to her."

Then he said: "Since you know each other, take her and leave quickly."

With a big wave of his hand, he turned his face away and stopped talking.

Gu Yao stared at the old man for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Okay."

Then, under Die'er and Jingyin's surprised eyes, they bid farewell to the old man and the man in sackcloth.

Let Dier take the physical body of the shadow Changle, and the four of them quickly left the mountain and returned to the cave where they came in.

Arranging the seals casually to create an independent space, Gu Yao started to make amulets and tap them on the body of the shadow Changle.

Jing Yin looked at Gu Yao making a talisman, and asked curiously, "This is it?"

"The old man is too weird. What he said is even more weird. I haven't seen him say what he just said at all in his memory."

A series of talismans entered into the Niwan Palace of Shadow Changle. Gu Yao took out another stack of paper talismans from his robe, quickly turned them over in his hand with a little nostalgia, and then cast a spell to squeeze these paper talismans into thousands of pieces of paper. Cranes, let them dance around the shadow Changle.

"The young Taoist he mentioned should be Ying Mudao without accident, but I have never seen it again. In this case, there are only two possibilities. One is that his own memories were covered up by the spliced ​​memories, so at that time I didn't see it when I cast the spell, but when I saw that man now, he remembered it when he was excited."

"Secondly, it's just that the old man's soul is weird, and the magic method can't detect his soul memory at all."

"In the past, I would have thought the first scenario was more likely, but after the first reincarnation and seeing so many strange things, I think it is the second scenario."

"This old man has no cultivation, but he has lived for such a long time. He said that he is a follower of Zhinu, and he is not in harmony with the people in the village. Does he not know the truth?"

"It's just like what he said, damn it, I wish I could be like Jang Ge and make those villagers miserable, but he didn't do anything."

"As for the so-called buried in the tree because of the riot of the goddess Weaver's soul, it is even more unbelievable to want to follow forever."

"In short, I don't believe the old man's words at all."

Jing Yin nodded and said, "Then what do you think you want to do now?"

Gu Yao smiled slightly: "When you found Princess Changle before, didn't you say that she was circling around a stone?"

Die'er corrected: "It's not around the stone, it's behind the stone."

"Yeah, then why is she spinning around in that place?" Gu Yao withdrew her hands, and cast the spell again, making the paper cranes circle around the long shadow band, and then she walked out of here step by step under the protection of the group of cranes.

"Where the souls of the two princesses have gone, we don't know, but we should be able to find the bodies that are most closely connected with them."

Gu Yao explained, walking out after Shadow Changle's body: "Let's be careful. The old man lives here and has been watching Banyue Lake. Maybe he also knows the secrets of Banyue Lake. He may be guarding at the moment. there."

Shadow Changle walked slowly towards Banyue Lake step by step, making a big circle on the mountainside.

Die'er said: "The place where we found her is just ahead."

"Sure enough, there is a problem here."

As soon as Gu Yao finished speaking, his complexion changed, and he hurriedly cast a spell to make the thousand paper cranes spin faster, making the shadow Changle stop.

"The old man is indeed here. We must find a way to lure him away, or we will knock them both unconscious so that they won't do bad things."

Gu Yao listened to the murmurs that sounded like arguing in his ears, and thought about countermeasures in his heart.
