People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

Chapter 20 Strange Tales of the Book of Heaven, Duke Yuan of Yunmeng

During the conversation, the white-bearded Taoist priest changed the subject and chatted with Han Xiangzi.

"It's a difficult matter, and I urgently need Brother Zeng's help."

Han Xiangzi frowned slightly.

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know if Brother Zeng has heard of such a murderous thing as Huai Ying?"

"Huaiying?"

Daoist Baibeard was stunned for a moment.

After pondering for a moment, his expression was startled, and he said solemnly:

"This pagoda tree baby is a ghost baby conceived by the pagoda tree. It feeds on the energy of the five internal organs. Once it grows up, it will be as filthy as a ghost king."

"Fellow Daoist Han asked this, could it be that you found Huai Ying in Longshan County?"

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi said solemnly:
"Exactly."

"Brother Daoist Zeng asked me to rescue the Zhang family this time. Only after I went to the poor did I find out that the life of Zhang's eldest son was dying because the painted skin ghost took out his heart."

"When Pindao was chasing the Painted Skin Ghost, he followed the clues in the Zhang family's old house and found Huai Ying, who was kept by the Painted Skin Ghost."

"Fortunately, Huai Ying has only been raised for more than a year, otherwise, once the time is long, disasters will happen."

"what?"

"There is such a thing!"

Daoist Baixu was shocked and extremely surprised.

He never thought that there would be such a murderous thing in the county town around Qingyun Temple.

Qingyun Temple enjoys the incense and offerings from the people of Longshan County, so naturally it also has the responsibility to keep one side safe.

This is his oversight!

"Poverty Dao is also puzzling. Mrs. Zhang said that the last time her parents and son died, and when she came to Qingyun Temple, it happened that Brother Zeng was not in the temple."

"But the case of the human skin that Painted Skin Ghost was implicated has been going on for almost half a year. Could it be that Brother Zeng had never heard of it before?"

Han Xiangzi expressed his doubts.

Based on his understanding of Taoist Master Baibeard, the latter is not a person who will not save him, but has a warm heart.

What's more, many nobles in Longshan County also begged for his black evil talisman to protect the town house.

There is no reason for the white-bearded priest not to know.

"Fellow Daoist Han, do you know that the old Taoist hasn't returned to Qingyun Temple for more than a year."

"What was left in the temple before was just an incarnation of the old Taoist, and it won't last long."

"This incarnation, the old Taoist left a total of eight strands, and it happened that the last strand was gone a few days ago."

Daoist Baibeard explained.

"Why is this?"

After hearing the words of Taoist Master Baixu, Han Xiangzi was very puzzled.

"When it comes to this matter, I have to mention my ancestor Qingyun Daoist Qingyun Temple."

"When our ancestors traveled around the world, they passed by Yunmeng Mountain and met a fairy named Yuan Gong."

"The two are like-minded, and they like to send the Tao between the bright moon and the breeze, between the mountains and rivers of selflessness."

"Because Yuan Gongcai was an octogenarian, he entered the realm of three flowers and one flower, and was appreciated by the great god in the sky, so he ascended into the sky and flew away."

"Before he left, he asked the ancestor to take care of one of his disciples who stayed in Baiyun Cave, and left a batch of elixir for him. He also carved some magical powers on the stone wall of the cave for his disciple to practice in the future."

"Fellow Daoist Han, you may not know that Master Yuan's origin is actually a swan egg. Although this egg absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon and gave birth to the root of wisdom, I don't know how long it will take to break out of the shell."

"After Daoist Qingyun agreed, he stayed in Yunmeng Mountain for a long time, but it's a pity that the swan never came out of its shell."

"Until the ancestor was granted the title of Earth Immortal, he still did not see this world."

"In desperation, the ancestors handed over this matter to the second-generation master of Qingyun Temple, and gradually took care of the swan egg in Baiyun Cave of Yunmeng Mountain, which became the ancestral instruction of Qingyun Temple."

"For thousands of years, this egg still hasn't moved. Just when the old Taoist was about to forget it, a year ago, the old Taoist suddenly had a dream from his ancestors and told me that the goose egg was about to be born, so I hurried to the cloud. Mengshan, take good care of her."

"Finally before ten months, that swan egg broke out of its shell and transformed into a soul boy with natural immortal roots."

"I called him Dan Sheng, and I wanted to stay in Baiyun Cave to teach him some practice."

"Who would have thought that before the old Taoist came, some wild foxes in Yunmeng Mountain would not only steal most of the elixir in the Baiyun Cave, but also rubbed some of the magical powers left by Yuan Gong in the cave."

"In order to prevent Yuan Gong's inheritance from falling into the hands of the fox monsters, the old Taoist stayed in Qizhou for more than half a year, just to find the traces of those fox monsters."

"Unexpectedly, in the past half a year, those few fox monsters have gradually become popular by virtue of the elixir magic left by Yuan Gong, and they are hidden in the market. Even if the old master finds it, he has no way to start."

"What's more, these few fox demons did not know how to deceive the sacrifice wine in the Tianhu Courtyard, and became the leaders of the Qizhou Fox Club in the Tianhu Courtyard under the Empress of Mount Tai, and even joined the fox membership. "

"This is difficult for the old Taoist. In desperation, we can only let Dansheng practice in Baiyun Cave first, and then discuss it after the old Taoist returns to Qingyun."

Priest Baixu and Han Xiangzi poured bitter water and talked for half a stick of incense.

I don't know.

At this moment, when Han Xiangzi heard Brother Zeng Dao talking about Yunmeng Mountain Yuangong Xianzhen and Dansheng, he was already full of emotions.

Unexpectedly, when he came to this world of immortals, heroes, gods and demons, he even learned the story on the blue star in his previous life.

Moreover, the situation of Yuan Gong and Dan Sheng, the master and apprentice, is quite different from that in the script.

Even the situation of those few fox demons is quite different.

"It's interesting..."

He thought to himself.

"Fellow Daoist Han, after listening to what the old Taoist said, do you have any insight?"

Seeing Han Xiangzi going down silently, the white-bearded Taoist priest couldn't help asking for help.

In his opinion, Han Xiangzi is also not shallow.

Being able to be valued by a fairy in Zhongnan Mountain, and personally accepted as an apprentice, I am afraid that there is something extraordinary.

To know.

Empress Taishan is Bixia Yuanjun in the Taoist sect, a first-class god in the heavenly court, and her status is respected. Once this matter involves the Tianhu Academy under Empress Taishan, the fox demon issue will not be easy to solve.

If Ru Ru exposes the identities of those fox demons, how can the wine sacrifice in Tianhu Courtyard be embarrassing?

Isn't this slapping Tianhuyuan in the face?

Daoist Baixu thought he didn't dare to do this, so he could only ask Han Xiangzi for his opinion.

"Those fox demons are valued by the sacrifice wine of the Tianhu Academy. I think it's probably because the elixir left by Yuan Gongxian has dispelled the evil spirit on them, and they have not been seen through."

"Brother Zeng Dao still burns a document and clearly states the matter to Tianhu Academy, requesting a thorough investigation of the matter."

Han Xiangzi thought for a while and suggested.

"Tianhu Academy is under the command of Empress Taishan. I'm afraid I'm not qualified enough with the heel of an old Taoist."

"Besides, if you don't collect those fox demon's criminal evidence, just relying on a document is of little use."

Daoist Baibeard smiled wryly.

After saying that, he looked at Han Xiangzi eagerly, and said with a cheeky smile:

"Fellow Daoist Han came from a famous mountain, so I think he has a lot of footsteps. If you provide a document, and then find out the various crimes of those fox demons and state it, you will probably have no worries."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Han thinks so?"
