Chapter 60 Skinning
Gui Laodao first looked Song Jiang up and down and said, "You can leave your soul freely? Could it be that you are also a member of the Taoist sect?!"

Song Jiang waved his hands again and again and said, "No, no, no...it's my elder brother who is very powerful. He is now fighting with the cloud of black energy that captured you last time, so we can talk face to face."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Gui Laodao said with regret on his face, "Pindao saw your bones are so strange, it should be a rare body of cultivation, but it's a pity that your fate with Pindao is too shallow. If you can give birth to a child more than 200 years earlier... In [-], Pindao will definitely accept you as an apprentice, so that Yuzhen Temple will not lose even a successor."

Song Jiang couldn't help complaining in his heart, "I didn't expect this old ghost who has been dead for more than 200 years to have such a routine, and he has a strange skeleton? It seems that the word nonsense is not for nothing... ..."

Seeing that Song Jiang didn't respond to this, Gui Laodao coughed in embarrassment, "Being able to see Xiaoyou here proves that the two of us are indeed destined... Well, how about you and Pindao become brothers of the opposite sex, We don’t want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but we want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day..."

Song Jiang didn't expect that this old ghost was still a talker, so he hurriedly said, "Stop it! Who died in the same year, the same month, and the same day as you?!"

When Gui Laodao heard it, he laughed and said, "Isn't this a quick talk for the poor? It's okay not to worship, and the poor can also pass on a set of health-preserving methods to the little friends. Although it can't live a hundred years, it is still quite good to prolong life. It works."

Song Jiang said a little speechlessly, "You really don't need to get close to me here. Since I'm here today, I will definitely find a way to help you... But you must first tell me what's going on. Is it really the ancient fierce beast?"

Hearing that Song Jiang heard Fei, Old Gui's expression changed, "Little friend also knows about this beast?"

Song Jiang nodded and said, "Old man, tell me what's going on, so that my elder brother and I can find a way to help you!"

After pondering for a while, Gui Laodao sighed, "Qingxuzi, the poor Taoist priest, he was the host of the Yuzhen Temple on the opposite Mantou Mountain 200 years ago. The mission is to guard the ancient ferocious beast that was trapped nearby thousands of years ago - Fei."

In Qingxuzi's narration, Song Jiang learned of a story about suppressing beasts 200 years ago...

The ancestors of Qingxuzi once took advantage of the topography of Mantou Mountain to set up a large formation to suppress the evil beasts here, and the Taoist priests in their Yuzhen Temple need to guard this large formation for generations, and if it is damaged, they must immediately Make repairs to prevent the beast from escaping and harming the world.

But just more than 200 years ago, an earthquake completely changed the terrain around Mantou Mountain. At that time, Qing Xuzi, the 34th host of Yuqing Temple, happened to be traveling outside. It ran out from the formation, and the poisonous insects and plagues it carried ravaged all over the country, killing many people and livestock...

Qing Xuzi saw that there was no possibility of repairing the monster-slaying formation left by his ancestors, so he had to follow the new terrain and build a brand-new monster-slaying formation. Unfortunately, Qingxuzi's skills were not as good as his ancestors, and the power of all the monster-smashing formations he deployed was limited. , can't suppress this ancient beast at all.

But if you don't subdue it as soon as possible, once the beast runs out of the boundary of Mantou Mountain, it will be impossible to suppress it, so Qing Xuzi had to use a large prohibition formation in his sect to sacrifice At the expense of himself, he stabbed the demon-suppressing curse created by his ancestors on his body, and at the same time took the secret corpse-fixing pill made by his master to keep the corpse from decaying for thousands of years.

The only purpose of doing this is to ensure that a powerful ghost is placed in the eyes of the formation, so that the full power of the formation can be fully activated, and the monsters can be trapped in the formation again.And the position of this super demon-destroying formation is just within the range of the reservoir. Song Jiang discovered that the location of Qingxuzi's bones was the eye of the super-devil-destroying formation.

After hearing Xuzi finish all this, Song Jiang was a little puzzled, "Since this demon-subduing formation is so powerful, why did the beast show signs of breaking the formation after just 200 years?"

After hearing this, Qing Xuzi sighed, "The reason why the poor Taoists take the corpse-fixing pill made by our sect is to ensure that the corpse stabbed with the demon-suppressing curse will not rot. Now, for some reason, my body has turned into bones, and the demon-suppressing curse Naturally, his mana will be invalid... If you don't come up with a solution as soon as possible, it will be a matter of time before you release the beast."

Song Jiang thought for a while and said, "Is it okay to engrave your master's demon-suppressing spell on a stone tablet and put it next to your bones?"

Unexpectedly, Qing Xuzi shook his head and said, "Of course not... If it is enough to put a stone tablet, why did Pindao sacrifice himself back then?"

"Then what better solution do you have? You can't go to your teacher's school to find someone to jump into the formation, right?!" Song Jiang said helplessly.

After hearing this, Qingxuzi said with embarrassment, "When Pindao died in the battle, there was only one Huangkou Daoist under his sect. I am afraid that the unique knowledge of Taoism in our sect has long been lost. Where can we find someone like Pindao?" How about sacrificing my life for righteousness? For now, the only way to re-consolidate the monster-subduing formation is to stab my sect's demon-suppressing curse on a piece of fresh human skin, and then cover my bones with the human skin."

Song Jiang thought he had heard it wrong at first, but he asked with a look of horror, "What skin?!"

Qing Xuzi changed his previous attitude, and said seriously, "Human skin..."

"Are you crazy? Where can I find you a fresh human skin?!" Song Jiang said in disbelief.

But Qing Xuzi said in a deep voice, "For the sake of righteousness, someone must choose to sacrifice..."

"It's really great that you sacrificed yourself for righteousness, but it has to be voluntary, right? Where do you want me to find a great hero who voluntarily donates human skin?! Don't expect me to give away my skin Here it is!" Song Jiang said with a vigilant face.

"I know it's really difficult...but if one person's life is exchanged for the lives of millions of people, my little friend should be very clear about where there is more." Qingxuzi said decisively.

But Song Jiang really couldn't do the thing of peeling people's skin. If others can't do it, his own can't do it, so he thought about it and had to settle for the next best thing, "Is it okay if it's not fresh?"

Unexpectedly, Qing Xuzi refused straight away, "No, the skin must be peeled off while the person is alive..."

Song Jiang felt that Qing Xuzi in front of him was simply unreasonable, so he shook his head and said, "I can't promise you this matter for the time being, I have to go back and discuss it with my elder brother."
