Eat the incense of the world, I am actually the underworld

Chapter 106 Earth Sha Knows the Time
"Pengsheng Hierarch, you were the first to follow the Monument King, but you don't even know the immortal whom the Monument King worships?"

"The Monument King is blessed by nature. How can we, a little grass fairy, be blessed to know the footsteps of the Immortal? But you, the most respected by the Monument King, don't know where the Immortal is. It's really surprising."

Outside a deserted courtyard in Laixian Town, five or six evil spirits were chatting, laughing and scheming.

Further outside, you can also see more than a dozen little demons who are just born with wisdom, wandering among the grass and trees, looking at this side in awe from time to time.

The Monument King they speak of is none other than Jiazi the Great Demon Huang Buyu.

This is the commander-in-chief of the Immortal Palm Hall, also known as the Monument King.

It turned out that in order to earn the fairy fate of the fairy family, Huang Buyu almost pulled all the people from Qingshui County over.

During this period, I inevitably came into contact with the evil spirits of the wolf king.

Since then, a mysterious immortal has surfaced from the mouth of Huang Buyu Hall.

Only then did the monsters suddenly realize why the stele king, Huang Buyu, was able to transform into a perfect form after failing to win the title, breaking through Jiazi? !

Everything about feelings is the mysterious fairy.

No, now that he had just obtained something, Huang Buyu couldn't wait to report it, for fear that the wolf king's lineage would take the lead.

This scene also made all the demons in the hall become more jealous.

After all, it is Xianjia Xianyuan!
Amid all the demons' discussions, Huang Buyu offered incense with his hands and prayed devoutly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he searched for his intentions, and when he raised his head, he saw that Mo Shangxian had already arrived without knowing when.

To his surprise, this time Mo Shangxian came from a ghost!

"Disciple Huang Buyu, pay homage to Mr. Mo."

Seeing this, Huang Buyu quickly knelt down and performed three prostrations and three prostrations.

"Get up!"

Mo Chuan walked to the dilapidated window in the lobby and looked out. The ruined walls could not hide the desolation of the town, and he was palpitating and saddened to see it.

"I am ashamed, I have been here for more than a month, and I just found out some clues. I hope you will forgive me."

It was obviously an act of showing merit, but Huang Buyu acted very humble, pleading guilty before opening his mouth.

"Tell me first!"

Mo Chuan was noncommittal, and decided to read the answer first.

After all, the wolf king has lived here for decades without knowing the truth, and Huang Buyu has discovered something since he first came here for more than a month.

"Yes!"

After hearing the words, Huang Buyu quickly explained his investigation in detail.

As the Wolf King said, the secrets of Laishian Town have long been annihilated with the disappearance of Laixian Town.

How many yellow-crowned Buddhist disciples came here in high spirits and returned in disappointment.

Huang Buyu is nothing more than Jiazi evil, even though he is talented and intelligent, this trip is like a weasel biting a turtle - there is no way to start.

Even if the ghosts and monsters in Laixian Town have been broken.

Even from a certain point of view, the disillusionment of coming to the town of ghosts and creatures is not a good thing.

Because this ghost creature may be keeping the secret of Laixian Town in another way.

Now, once it is broken, Laishian Town will be reduced to vulgar land.

Things turned around two days ago, at dusk at that time, an old Taoist priest came to Laixian Town and stopped outside the town for a long time.

The ghosts and monsters in Laixian Town are famous around, and there are often Huangguan Buddhas who come to subdue the demons. It should not be unusual for Taoists to find here.

Don't want to, Huang Buyu, who was already on fire with anxiety, followed him away by a strange coincidence.

It was accidentally discovered that the old Taoist was living in seclusion nearby.

"The disciples followed him to his residence, and unexpectedly discovered that the place is full of lush vegetation and spiritual energy. It is a treasure land of geomantic omen, and seeing that the thatched hut is quite new. After asking the nearby villagers, they found out that the old Taoist priest has lived in seclusion here for a long time. Five or six years."

When Huang Buyu said this, he lowered his voice subconsciously:

"Laixian Town was destroyed exactly six years ago. This is quite a coincidence with the time when the old Taoist priest got married. This disciple suspects that the old Taoist priest might know something. I dare not startle the snake, so I report it to the master."

Hearing this, Mo Chuan finally realized why Huang Buyu pleaded guilty before pleading guilty.

This so-called discovery is not a clue at all.

At most, it is a direction to break the game.

That's right, a monster is a monster. Although it can learn many secrets by virtue of its hidden characteristics, it is limited to ordinary people at most. Once it involves cultivators, it will be powerless after all.

"Where is the Taoist residence?"

"Mr. Hui, walk about eight or nine miles southwest of Laixian Town, and you will arrive. The thatched hut is backed by the hillside, and there is a lotus pond in front of the door. If you go, sir, this disciple is willing to lead the way for you."

Huang Buyu said hastily.

"No, people who have been able to stay in Xianzhen for five or six years are either pure in nature or have other plans. If the former is fine, if the latter..."

Mo Chuan's words came to an abrupt end.

Huang Buyu's heart shuddered, and he didn't say any more.

Mo Chuan immediately dissipated into Qi and dissipated among the abandoned tile houses.

Huang Buyu hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed, and sent his husband away respectfully. After a while, he straightened up, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes.

The ignorant are fearless.

When he first heard of coming to Xianzhen, he was full of seeking immortality, so he didn't care at all.

However, after this point, I realized the strangeness of Laixian Town.

As the saying goes:
The geese leave a sound, and the water leaves a mark.

However, the news about Laixian Town seems to have been wiped out by an invisible force. When visiting the elderly in the surrounding villages and towns, the memory of Laixian Town is also very chaotic, as if they have been cursed by some kind of blood.

This is very unreasonable.

After all, most of the marriages in the countryside are from people from all over the world. Even if they come to Xianzhen and become ghosts, they shouldn't disappear from people's memory so quickly.

So there must be something ominous in it.

This ominousness made Huang Buyu feel uneasy, which was one of the fundamental reasons why the other side rushed to report when they had some clues.

……

According to Huang Buyu's description, Mo Chuan came out of the Yang God and hid among the grass and trees. After a while, he found the old Taoist hermit's residence.

Neatly arranged fence walls surround three mud-walled thatched huts, which look unremarkable.

Looking around, a village could be seen faintly in the distance, with smoke rising from the kitchen.

After Mo Chuan retrieved his body, he walked to the chai gate and shouted loudly:
"Is anyone here?"

Not long after, an old Taoist priest with shabby clothes and a mole on his forehead came out of the main room.

"Mingchen on the poor road, passing by here, I am hungry and thirsty, can I ask for a cup of tea?"

Mo Chuan cupped his hands and asked.

The old Taoist said meaningfully: "Fellow Taoist is neatly dressed and has a red face, doesn't he look like a beggar?"

Mo Chuan said with a smile: "You made me laugh, I am a poor Taoist, and I actually want to inquire about some news."

At this time, the old Taoist also walked to the gate of the courtyard, opened the firewood gate casually, and said: "The well water in the farmhouse is poor, if you don't mind it, please."

Mo Chuan smiled, raised his foot and stepped in, thinking to himself: Huang Buyu really has a good eye, this old Taoist priest is interesting.

After entering the main room and looking around, it can be said that there are only four walls.

Instead, there is a portrait enshrined in the main hall, which seems to be the patriarch of the old Taoist priest.

Seeing this, Mo Chuan cupped his hands in salute.

"Fellow Daoist wait a moment, wait for the poor Taoist to fetch a pot of tea."

After introducing Mo Chuan to the simple square table, the old Taoist went out to get tea.

Not long after, the old Taoist came into the house with a copper pot, brewed two cups of rough tea and served it, then said: "I don't know what you want to ask about?"

Mo Chuan picked up the pottery bowl with a missing corner, took a sip of the bitter tea, and said, "Did you know you came to Xianzhen?"

The old Taoist was not surprised when he heard the words: "The poor Taoist has lived here for five years, and it is precisely because he came to Xianzhen that he does not dare to say he knows the whole picture, but he knows a thing or two."

Mo Chuan's spirit was shaken, he didn't expect the questioning to be so smooth.

"Oh, then I wonder what happened in Laixian Town? Why did fellow Taoists settle down here to practice hermitage?"

The old Taoist sighed a bit: "Before answering the question of fellow daoist, can you answer the question of poor daoist first?"

"But it doesn't matter."

"Come to the fairy town of ghosts, but was it broken by a fellow Taoist?"

"Break it by luck."

"Fellow Daoist has great supernatural powers!"

The old Taoist was slightly shocked when he heard the words, and then his face was full of sighs and emotions.

Mo Chuan smiled, showing neither humility nor arrogance.

"If Pindao's guess is right, the disaster that came to Xianzhen is a human disaster."

"how do I say this?"

"Fellow Daoist, do you know where the name of Laixian Town comes from?"

"It is rumored that it was a visit from an immortal, hence the name."

"Whether this is true or not, about 20 years ago, a great master of alchemy came to Xianzhen. For some reason, this matter spread like wildfire. Therefore, there are often Huangguan Buddhas who come and seek alchemy. During the period, they inevitably show their magical powers. Come to Xianzhen That's why it got the name Laixian." The old Taoist's tone was vicissitudes.

"With such an expert sitting in Laixian Town, why did he become a ghost overnight?" Mo Chuan was amazed when he heard this.

"The world is impermanent, and no one knows what happened that night. However, according to the research of the poor, the disaster of coming to Xianzhen is probably caused by the leakage of erysipelas."

The old Taoist's tone was calm, as if he had told countless people, and he seemed to have already confirmed the answer.

"Erysipelas?" Mo Chuan was stunned.

Judging from the information he inquired, before Laishian Town was destroyed, there were indeed rumors of a plague. The reason why Laixian Town held a social fire was also to fight against evil spirits and avert disasters.

It is really possible to say it is erysipelas.

"What erysipelas can kill thousands of people overnight?" Mo Chuan couldn't believe it.

The muscles on the old Taoist's face twitched uncontrollably, and the mole on his forehead became darker and clearer because of the blood loss on his face.

His expression was painful like a drowning person, and he let out a long breath for a long time:

"The poor way has explored and searched for hidden things. So far, there is still no answer. Now that the ghosts and monsters are disillusioned, the answer may have disappeared with it."

"May I ask what is the name of the master of alchemy? Where did he go?" Mo Chuan asked after a moment of silence.

"He used to be named Taoist Wuding. As for where he went, no one knows. Speaking of which, Pindao knew this because two years ago, a Taoist priest happened to come here to seek alchemy, which allowed Pindao to piece together some of the truth. "The old Taoist took the initiative to explain.

"So that's the case, dare I ask you how to call it?"

"A poor man sees the truth."

"It turned out that I met a true Taoist friend. Today I got a Taoist friend to solve my doubts. I finally got rid of the doubts in the poor Taoist's heart. I hope the Taoist friend will accept it. If there is a destiny, see you in the future."

Mo Chuan got up to say goodbye, and at the same time gave a small gift.

"Fellow Daoist is polite."

The Taoist priest who saw the truth got up and handed him off.He kept sending Mo Chuan out of the chai gate, and after watching Mo Chuan leave, he sighed and returned to the house.

On the simple tea table, the tea remains and the water is cold, and the gift is standing still.

Seeing the true Taoist priest sitting cross-legged, he stretched out his middle finger, lightly dipped the leftover tea of ​​Mo Chuan, and immediately grabbed it with his thumb, pinched his middle finger, and a huge amount of Yuan Qi gushed out.
