I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 40 Portrait of a Saint Thief
"Gu Yaodao is friendly. My name is Zhuge Jun. I used to work as a clerk in Guangling Mansion, but now I am transferred to Qingshui County. We will get closer together in the future."

Master Zhang's Wolong was invited, but as soon as this Wolong came, he set his sights on Gu Yao.

He didn't let go of his hand.

Although there is a tradition of traveling hand in hand in this era, Gu Yao is really not used to being so intimate with a big man.

It wasn't until Master Zhang separated the two with a displeased expression that he was relieved.

Immediately, I heard Master Zhang and Zhuge Jun whispering: "Obviously, you come first. What?"

Gu Yao shuddered all over, and subconsciously wiped his hands repeatedly with his robe: "These two people are actually in this relationship."

He looked at Mr. Zhang with wrong eyes, Zhuge Jun smiled to show his friendliness, while Mr. Zhang looked at him with complicated eyes.

At this moment, many plots flashed through Gu Yao's mind. What kind of crime is he doing? Then he pinched his thigh and approached Fa Qing: "Uncle Fang, why do I feel that Mr. Zhang and this Wolong have an unusual relationship? ?”

Fafang Qing coughed, and his voice was very soft: "The two of them didn't have many friends in Guangling Mansion in the past, so they should have a better relationship. Don't think about it."

After finishing talking here, Mr. Hou was also arrested outside and asked about the details of that day, but no matter how much he asked, he still didn't know what to ask. Finally, under Gu Yao's suggestion, he hung yellow symbols on Mr. Hou and his wives , tied with a red rope.

"Master Hou, please forgive me, this red rope and yellow talisman is to guard against ghosts using your body to make trouble, just wait until the investigation is over."

Master Hou was very helpless, his face was full of sorrow, worry and unhappiness: "I understand, I am also very cooperative, but you can't do the same to search my house, every piece of land has been searched by you."

"Don't worry, I won't let them turn over the lake in the courtyard."

Master Hou immediately changed his face and smiled: "Oh, that's good, please trouble Mr. Gu, I will entrust you with my wealth and life."

Gu Yao comforted Master Hou a few more words, then returned to the room, watching Wolong show off his skills.

Zhuge Jun. Isn't this a descendant of Zhuge Liang?Find a free time to inquire?

Gu Yao looked at Zhuge Jun holding a gossip plate with a serious expression, standing motionless in the room, calculating something, and was still curious.

He just noticed Mr. Zhang's face, and he dismissed the idea: "Forget it, no matter how curious you are, I couldn't learn mathematics well before, so it's meaningless to be curious about odd spells."

He operated the technique of communicating with the secluded, looked into the room, but unexpectedly found that Zhuge Jun's whole body was also exuding different colors.

Standing among thousands of red lines, his whole body was filled with water-like blue light, and the gossip plate in his hand vibrated and roared constantly. With every vibration, the flowing light all over Zhuge Jun's body would change its direction and speed.

Gu Yao took a closer look, and vaguely saw a small soul looming above Zhuge Jun's body, and was slightly shocked: "This is the yin spirit coming out of the body? Could it be that Zhuge Jun is actually a peerless soul who refines the spirit and returns to the void?" Expert?"

Practicing Qi Transformation into God Realm is to use one's own Qi to conceive and nourish the spiritual consciousness until the divine consciousness turns into a yin god that can travel out of the body and be entrusted to things.

The yin spirit conceives and nourishes out of the body, which is to refine the spirit and reverse the void.

"But Zhuge Jun doesn't look like a master. Apart from other things, the characteristic that can't be concealed on the appearance of a practitioner is his eyes. The higher the level of cultivation, the brighter and clearer his eyes are. But I saw his eyes just now. It was bloodshot all over, the whites of the eyes were not clear, let alone bright."

"Is Brother Qimen so unusual?"

Gu Yao looked at Mr. Zhang again, his eyes were very bright and sharp, in line with the characteristics of a practitioner.

"If you think about it, you are right. If Mr. Zhang is looking for a Taoist companion, he will not be looking for an ordinary person. Thinking about it this way, it is reasonable for Zhuge Jun to be a great practitioner of a strange family."

Gu Yao nodded.

Fafang Qing beside him was very puzzled, why did Gu Yao nod his head when he looked at these two people?

Did he see something that I couldn't see again.

On this side, Zhuge Jun has already opened his eyes, with a look of exhaustion on his face: "There is indeed a large array of strange gates in this room. I have watched it for a long time, and I finally fulfilled my mission and calculated the breaking point."

Master Zhang was ecstatic: "How to break the formation?"

"Light candles in the southwest, and in the north, that is, at the threshold. Make a mound with loess, kill a rooster at that place, and carry the rooster's head dripping blood all the way to the south."

"In the northwest direction, place a piece of wood, the material doesn't matter, bark is fine, and offer three sticks of incense."

"Finally, just pour a bowl of black dog blood on the northeast corner."

Gu Yao took a deep breath, is this the Great Formation of Qimen?Breaking the formation is actually so complicated.

Several detectives got busy, and everyone carried the black dog's blood with them. Master Hou had candles and joss sticks at home, but the live rooster was a bit more troublesome, so I went to the kitchen to catch one.

After doing so, the ground that Gu Yao had previously marked as a human center suddenly collapsed, revealing a dark hole.

"The entrance of the cave has come out, come here, check it quickly."

Mr. Zhang took off his Jiuyao clothes, changed into casual clothes, held a sharp sword, saw that the torch below had not been extinguished, and jumped down.

"Others don't come, please join Jingyuan and Brother Zhuge." Mr. Zhang watched from below for a while, then shouted upwards.

Fafang Qing and Gu Yao followed in at the end.

The secret room below was unexpectedly large.

It was actually a decoration for an alchemy room.

In the middle, there is still a big alchemy furnace, but it has been covered with a layer of dust, and it looks like it has not been used. On the surrounding walls, there are various paintings hanging. There are Taoists, monks, and some strangely dressed people in the paintings. .

A group of people found many candlesticks in this room and lit them up one by one, and only then did they see the whole picture of the room clearly.

"This is a portrait of a celestial master." Mr. Zhang extinguished the torch in his hand and approached a portrait.

"This is a painting by the patriarch of the Shangqing Dynasty." Fa Qing also saw the portrait of his own patriarch.

"There is actually my Patriarch of Pure Yuan Dao." Yu Qiuyi was taken aback, standing in front of a portrait of Kun Dao and said.

"This is from my Vulcan Sect."

"There is no ancestor of my family."

In the end, the two Jing Yuan spoke one after another.

"Why are there these portraits?" Gu Yao only knew Zhang Tianshi's portrait, but not others.

Gu Yao looked around, his heart moved, and he counted the number of scrolls.

Seventeen scrolls.

Seventeen saints thieves.

"These are the sect portraits stolen by the so-called sages? There are sects who paint their patriarchs, but don't sects paint themselves?"

He walked around again, and found that the clothing styles of the characters in several portraits were obviously of today's, while the clothes of Zhang Tianshi and others were more ancient.

Other Jing Yuan also discovered this.

"It's a sage thief." In the end, Master Zhang said, "These scrolls are portraits of a sage thief."

In the eyes of everyone, he walked towards Zhang Tianshi's portrait with a sullen face, took off the painting and turned it over: "Look at the back of the picture scroll, it is the traitor who joined the Saint Thief back then."

When Gu Yao saw the person on the back of the painting, his pupils shrank suddenly.

This man is old-fashioned!

No, it is a young old man.

Gu Yao and the old Taoist have lived together for ten years, so they are too familiar, and their eyes and noses are too similar.

The old Taoist was the Saint Thief back then?
Do not,
impossible,
The Saint Pirates were wiped out 100 years ago, and only the leader of the thief was left to gather people outside and call Zongyuan.

The old man is with him day and night, how can he be an old man.

Others also flipped the scroll to reveal the people on the back.

Behind those pictures that look like people from the big week, there is a "group photo" of 17 people.

Gu Yao looked intently, and stopped looking at one of them.

81 pure white beads.

Not in the hands of the old Taoist, but in the hands of another person.

"Really sophisticated?"

There are quite a few 81 flow beads, and there are also some white flow beads.

But the old Taoist once showed off: "My Liuzhu is the only one in the world. It is made of a thousand-year-old Yin tree on Qingcheng Mountain. Back then, Zhang Tianshi used two swords to destroy the ghost country, and the sky thunder struck it. Beads."

Going out to visit friends will return after a month or so.
The old-fashioned note came to Gu Yao's mind again.
