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

Chapter 14 Xuanyun Shows Off
The mountain rain comes fast, and it also breaks fast!

At the kind invitation of Qiao Mingyuan, Lieutenant of Qingshui County, Mo Chuan readily decided to go down the mountain to Qingshui County to investigate the truth about the decapitation of the county magistrate Qin.

After the Tianshui cleans, Huayin Mountain is as fresh as washing and emerald as jade.

It's just that although the scenery in the deep mountains is beautiful, the mountain roads are rugged and difficult.

For Mo Chuan, who possesses the old way of Yanzhen, the road down the mountain is extremely difficult.

Fortunately, with the help of Qiao's servants, although the mountain road is steep, but walk slowly, there will be an end.

When it was getting dark, the group finally arrived at the farm at the foot of the mountain, and decided to rest for one night before entering the county tomorrow.

Before Mo Chuan could live, someone from Qiao's family visited, but it was Qiao Yuhong's younger brother!

After an apology, he explained the purpose of coming, and wanted Mo Chuan to save his dead niece.

It turned out that the death of Qiao Yuhong's daughter was so miserable that everyone who saw it was terrified, and even worried that the dead body would turn into a zombie ghost.

In order to appease the hearts of the people, Qiao Yuhong's younger brother could only resort to this trick and respectfully ask Mo Chuan to save him.

Hearing that Mo Chuan had no reason to refuse, he nodded.

In this era, a girl who has not left the cabinet and dies suddenly is not qualified to set up a mourning hall and enter the ancestral grave.

Although the Qiao family is a famous family, the rules cannot be exceeded.

So the Qiao family just set up a simple coffin in front of the door and prepared a thin coffin, which will be sent to the water place tomorrow, which is the mass grave.

Under the awe-inspiring eyes of the Qiao family, Mo Chuan recited a Sutra on Rescuing Suffering from the Supreme Supreme, and burned a few talismans out of thin air to put on a show to appease people's hearts, and then returned home.

……

The night is like water, and insects sing and katydids leap.

Under the waning lamp of bean candles, Mo Chuan took out the token of lightning strike Taomu Wulei, and after careful inspection, he couldn't help showing disappointment.

This token of the five thunders, which was obtained from heavy stones, completely fell into a mortal thing after stimulating the power of the thunder of nine heavens contained in it.

There is only a trace of thunder breath left on it, like a flagon filled with fine wine, the remaining breath curls up.

"This thing is useless to me. If I give it to a mortal, it won't be able to stop a catastrophe, but it can also scare little devils! Unfortunately, this thing came from a wrong way, and I'm afraid it will bring disasters to people!"

Mo Chuan thought for a while and threw it back into the Dao Furnace for the Sacrifice, as a collection.

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, at the invitation of County Captain Qiao Mingyuan, Mo Chuan got into his carriage.

The two talked all the way.

Mo Chuan has been nurtured by Fuluan Temple, so he can be regarded as half a Taoist disciple. He doesn't have much ink in his stomach, so it's enough to bluff a layman.

When the car arrived at Shicao, Mo Chuan called to stop, opened the window to look, and then let the carriage go on.

"Daozhang, but what did you find?"

"Has Qingshui County ever killed difficult soldiers and bandits?"

"The officials in Qingshui County are governed by Qingming, and beheading is rare... I remembered that a giant bandit named Qian San was beheaded ten years ago."

"That's probably him."

"What does the Daoist mean?"

"The county magistrate of Qin killed his head in broad daylight at the place where Shi Cao was beheaded. Presumably, it was probably caused by a headless ghost. Pindao has just seen Shi Cao, and there is a faint ghost spirit left. The result should be pretty good."

Mo Chuanyun said calmly.

He could remember that the Qingshui yamen servant visited Fuluan Temple.

I want to come to Qingshui County and have invited all the monks from ten miles and eight villages.

In this case, it is better to report the results early and take the lead.

If Qingshui County is sympathetic, after the death of Yanzhen Laodao's body, he might still be able to earn a fortune in geomantic omen, and his love for borrowing his body would not be in vain.

"Headless ghost?" County lieutenant Qiao Mingyuan looked stunned: "The Taoist priest means that the headless ghost is Qian San?"

"The headless ghost is one of the four evil ghosts of our Taoist sect. It is not a bloodthirsty person, and it is difficult to form, so it is probably him."

Mo Chuan explained.

"There is such a saying?"

Qiao Mingyuan murmured in astonishment, and after a long while, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Daoist, for clarifying the confusion. If you dare to ask, can you find the trace of the headless ghost?"

Mo Chuan shook his head: "Not here, logically speaking, the headless ghost would linger in the beheading place, so the headless ghost either killed the county magistrate Qin, satisfied his resentment, and disappeared; or..."

"Or what?"

"Or be taken away by an expert!"

"Master Daoist, is it possible for that headless ghost to hide and come out to harm people at night?" Qiao Mingyuan asked worriedly.

"It's possible, but not great."

Saying this is like saying nothing.

Qiao Mingyuan asked for more details, and didn't stop asking until the carriage arrived at Qiao's mansion.

After getting out of the carriage, at Qiao Mingyuan's respectful request, he walked all the way into the main hall.

It was only then that Mo Chuan was surprised to find that the lobby was already full of guests. Apart from officials of all sizes from the county town, the surrounding area was also full of people from all walks of life.

He even saw two familiar figures in the crowd.

—— Fuluan old Taoist and Xuanyun Taoist boy.

When everyone saw Lieutenant Qiao coming in, they all stood up and saluted.

Mo Chuan looked at the room full of guests with disappointment in his eyes, and suddenly realized that his cognition might be misplaced.

There are more than 30 guests in the lobby.

Monks, nuns, Taoist priests, nuns, and even peasant women in rough clothes...the list goes on and on.

However, most people feel dizzy all over and don't see aura.

Very few people could faintly detect some mana fluctuations, but they were also extremely weak, just like the invalid Lightning Strike Peachwood Five Thunder Token in his hand.

I don't know if the boss is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?Or is it inherited from the ancestors?

In other words, the vast majority of people here are either fakes or have lost their inheritance.

Mo Chuan has reason to believe that Qingshui County will definitely take in all the senior people from the surrounding villages.

There may be fish that slip through the net, but definitely not many.

However, under this group of talents, they are still so confused. It is conceivable that there are even fewer practitioners than he imagined.

No wonder Fu Luan was so excited after he drew the talisman to deter ghosts.

And the reason why his cognition is misplaced is because he intercepted Wuzhu incense several times, and almost all encountered ghosts and ghosts.

Even seeing such an expert as Chong Shizi, he naturally thought that the monks in this world were very powerful and ghosts abound.

As everyone knows, this is like working in a crematorium, seeing dead people every day, and naturally feels that the world is full of malice.

Back to topic.

When Mo Chuan looked at everyone, everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

Because of all the people present, only he received such courtesy from the county captain.

Not only did they come in the same car, but they were also invited to take the upper seat.

However, no one questioned much.

Because Mo Chuan's appearance is really not bad at this time.

Yanzhen's old way is about to die, but in the eyes of everyone, he looks more like a master of Taoism.

In addition, when he was about to die, he put on a brand new Taoist robe, which looked even more impressive under the clothes.

"Today, I invite all of you to come here. I think you already know. The death of the county magistrate of Qin caused panic among the people in Qingshui. It is my duty to appease the people and solve their opinions. I also ask you to help me find out the truth and pay back Qingshui. Universe."

Qiao Xianwei was impassioned and brought everyone to the point.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone jumped out impatiently.

"Master County Lieutenant, in my opinion, there must be a criminal in this matter. I have a skill to see the trajectory of the murder. Can you let me take a close look at the corpse of the county magistrate and find out the murderer?"

"Yes!" County Captain Qiao nodded without saying anything.

"Lord County Lieutenant, according to my opinion, County Magistrate Qin has clearly been possessed by an evil spirit, and he has taken the law!"

"Oh, do you have proof?"

"This……"

"Master County Lieutenant..."

For a while, the heroes in the hall were excited, each with their own rhetoric.

The scene like a vegetable market made Mo Chuan dumbfounded.

Well, thanks to his deliberate preemption, feelings became useless.

Of course, it is not entirely true to say that it is useless.

Among the chatter, four or five families swore that the county magistrate of Qin was possessed by a headless ghost.

One of them especially attracted Mo Chuan's attention.

This person looks like an old woman in the countryside, reserved and timid, but her eyes are full of cunning.

When the Taoist priest of Tianling Temple bluntly said that the headless ghost was causing trouble, she quickly echoed it.

Others asked her how to prove it?

She said, this is what the leader told me.

It turned out that this woman was a disciple of the Chuma Immortal, and the leader was a Ghost Immortal.

Speaking of sending out horse immortals, it is quite similar to Fuluan's art of watching ghosts and immortals descending ghosts.

The difference is that Fuluan invites the patriarch.

The horse fairy invited is the grass fairy, and most of them are composed of "huhuangchang python ghosts", and it is also said: Tangkou.

They catch psychics as disciples, form halls, receive incense, and do shady affairs.

After talking about the headless ghost at the Taoist Temple of Heavenly Spirit, County Captain Qiao finally became interested and asked, "Dare to ask the chief, is this headless ghost still alive?"

The Taoist priest of Tianling Temple replied: "Returning to the county captain, when I passed Shicao today, I observed carefully, and there was no trace of the headless ghost. I think this headless ghost was transformed by Li Guanqi. After the resentment disappeared, it disappeared. "

County Captain Qiao subconsciously looked at Mo Chuan. This sounded like what Mo Chuan said, isn't it?

It's just that Mo Chuan said that the headless ghost was Qian San, a giant bandit, and mentioned the possibility of being taken away by an expert.

Qiao Xianwei was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a child brag in the hall: "The headless ghost is one of the four evil spirits of the Daoist sect. Is it a ghost that usually dissipates after getting rid of resentment? To tell you the truth, the headless ghost has actually been killed My patriarch took it away...well..."

Before the child showed off, his mouth was covered.

The person showing off is none other than Xuanyun Daotong.

It was the old Taoist Fu Luan who covered his mouth.

It's fine if Fu Luan didn't cover his mouth, but when he covered his mouth, everyone in the room immediately looked sideways.
