The years when I explored the fairyland

Perhaps because he received more information, Chu Zhou's thinking became more open-minded. At a certain moment, he suddenly figured it out.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether Luo Gan, who has traveled alone for thousands of miles, is a one-horned ghost. As long as the one-horned ghost is disguised as a human being, then he can use the strategy of "killing people with a borrowed knife and driving away wolves and devouring tigers".

For example, leading Elder Qiu of the Yunya Sword Sect and a group of sword hunters to the Zhao Mansion.

They are all real masters, and there are many great martial arts masters in the Tongmai Realm. As long as they see through the whereabouts of the One-Horned Ghost, they will definitely take action!

By then, regardless of whether he is Luo Gan or not, after being exposed, there will be no more one-horned ghost.

As for Chu Zhou, all he had to do was follow behind and take advantage. If the one-horned ghost escaped and his strength would be greatly reduced, he would be the fisherman who would benefit.

If the one-horned ghost hadn't escaped, he wouldn't even have had to take action.

As for how to guide?

Chu Zhou felt that he didn't even need to come forward, as long as he released some specious news.

This should be the best method. It is safe and effortless, and appears to be extremely resourceful. However, when this idea came up, Chu Zhou was instinctively resistant and disgusted.

This made him very confused. He felt that he didn't have a mental disorder. How could this happen?

But when he reflected on himself, he discovered that what he resisted was actually the involvement of outsiders in this revenge!

Yes, this is revenge!

Even if Master Xuanzhen treats them badly, hitting or scolding them, the grace of survival and the love of nurturing cannot be denied.

Besides, in that failed ghost exorcism ceremony, it was not just Xuanzhen Lao Dao who died, but also the original Chu Zhou.

He traveled through time and took over the original body and identity. Even if a cause and effect was formed, he had the obligation to avenge this with his own hands!

This may be what ordinary people call obsession, but this time, Chu Zhou felt that he should not borrow people under the guise!

Having made a decision in his heart, Chu Zhou immediately began to make arrangements. The first step was to find all the magic weapons used by Xuan Zhen to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits.

If you want to lure the One-Horned Ghost to show up, the easiest way is to go to the Zhao Mansion, so even if it's just a pretense, these magic weapons must be put on display.

Then, the four junior brothers and Fan Zhong were all found. Now that we had a plan, there was no need to collect information.

At this point, it had been delayed for four days, and Zhao Yuanwai sent someone to urge him. Chu Zhou directly responded that he would go tomorrow.

It is worth mentioning that he had just made preparations, and before he set out, guests came to the door.

…

Xuanzhen concept,

living room,

Chu Zhou entered from the side door. When he saw the person, he paused slightly. While looking up and down, he asked: "I have seen the Taoist priest, but I don't know who he is?"

The person who came was about sixty years old, with a thin body and a gaunt appearance. He had a scattered beard under his chin and his hair was already gray, but his bun was meticulously combed.

He was wearing a green robe, which seemed to be made of very sophisticated materials, but it had not been washed for a long time, and it looked dusty, as if he had traveled for a long time.

When he saw Chu Zhou arriving, he immediately stood up, saluted with one hand, and said: "I am a poor Taoist. I came from Chaotian Temple. I have been traveling to Baisha City for several years. I want to stay at Xuanzhen Temple for a few nights. I also hope that the owner of the hotel will do so." Yes!"

"Wandering Taoist priest, are you placing an order?"

Chu Zhou murmured quietly, looking quite amused.

It is true that Xuanzhen Temple is a martial arts sect, but at the same time, Xuanzhen Temple is also a serious Taoist temple.

Although it occupies a small area, it is still private property, but it is registered in the Universiade Dynasty, filed with the government office, and has a nameplate in Daozhengsi Temple.

The old Taoist Xuanzhen is a real Taoist priest, the kind who has the right to teach, and Chu Zhou, Xu Cheng and Yi Huai, although they do not have Taoist titles, they are genuine Taoist priests.

Therefore, whether Chu Zhou inherited the Taoist temple or became the master of the temple, it was extremely smooth.

Even during the most difficult period for Xuanzhen Guan, no one made any fuss in this regard. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but that Xuanzhen was cautious in doing things, leaving no opportunities to take advantage of.

However, although Xuanzhen Temple is a formal Taoist temple, there may not be many people who come to offer incense and pray for blessings, but there are still some.

But the person in front of me is really the first person to come here to place orders and stay.

Seeing that Chu Zhou didn't speak for a long time, the Taoist who claimed to be pure couldn't help but ask: "Is it inconvenient for the Taoist temple recently?"

The old Taoist's face became a little sad, and he said again: "I am really short of money during this journey, otherwise I can just go to Baisha City and find a hotel to rest."

Chu Zhou came back to his senses, took a deep look at the old Taoist, and suddenly smiled: "Haha, what are you talking about, Taoist Master? In fact, not long after I inherited the Taoist temple, this was the first time I encountered this order, which is quite a bit strange. Surprised, I didn’t react for a while.”

"Since the Taoist priest is here, how can I not agree?! The guest room is simple, please bear with me."

“It’s good to have a place to stay.”

"That's okay, Uncle Fan?"

"The old slave is here."

"Go and make arrangements. Clean a guest room, boil some hot water in the kitchen, and ask the Taoist Priest to take a bath and change clothes."

Having said this, Chu Zhou looked at the figure of Taoist Qingjing again and said, "Take another set of my Taoist robes and give them to the Taoist Master."

"It can't be done, it really can't be done!"

"Nothing, it's just a piece of clothing. The Taoist priest's robe really needs to be starched."

"Well, it's better to be respectful than to obey."

"No problem, Taoist Priest, go wash up first."

"I'll take my leave first."

After exchanging pleasantries, Qingjing Lao Dao turned around and left, not forgetting to take his package before leaving, while Chu Zhou watched them leave from behind.

After a short while, Fan Zhong returned and said, "Master, everything has been arranged."

Chu Zhou nodded and asked, "What do you think?"

Fan Zhong shook his head, "I can't see through it, but I think this old Taoist seems to be a wandering Taoist."

Chu Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "He has martial arts skills. Although I can't see how high he is, he has at least practiced and walks a light and agile way.

But then again, it is normal to have martial arts skills when traveling outside, otherwise you can't go far at all.

I just hope that he has nothing to do with the affairs of Baisha City."

After a pause, Chu Zhou smiled, "Anyway, let's invite him to dinner tonight and I'll chat with him again."

...

It's said to chat, but it's actually a test.

A wandering Taoist should have been to many places and seen a lot of the world. Chu Zhou believes that chatting can also find out a lot of useful information.

However, he really didn't expect that before the meal started, the old Taoist Qingjing gave him a surprise.

It was hard to tell that he was covered in dirt during the day, but at dinner time, he had already bathed and changed his clothes. He came from a distance, wearing a wide robe with fluttering sleeves, and his figure was agile and unusually calm.

With his gaunt face, thin cheeks, gentle eyes, and meticulously groomed hair, he looked like an immortal with a Taoist style and a high level of Taoism.

Chu Zhou felt that he actually had some of the charm of the great immortal Jie Yin, and the old Taoist Xuan Zhen was really weak in front of him!

Chu Zhou didn't say anything, and the other brothers were almost stunned.

If he didn't eat so fast when he ate, he would probably be able to maintain this image better.

Chu Zhou waited until he was half full before chatting with him, wanting to use words to find out the details of the other party.

Unfortunately, there was no details at all. The old Taoist really talked about what he had seen and heard since he left Chaotian Temple.

There are landscape wonders, humanistic styles, strange things, folk customs, martial arts sects, secret martial arts, and market anecdotes...

It seems that there is no topic he can't talk about, and it's like telling a wonderful travelogue of mountains and rivers, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

As if to prove it, he even took out his own travel notes, one by one, one by one, every time he passed a place, all kinds of things he saw and heard, which were really wonderful.

In the words of the old Taoist priest himself: He, his master gave him the Taoist name "Qingjing" in the hope that he could be pure and free from desires, and practice with a pure heart, but things always go against his wishes!

Well, Chu Zhou had to admit that after talking about it, he suspected that he was too suspicious. Isn't this just a wandering Taoist priest?

No matter what, the test ended here.

Just stay if you hang up a sign, Xuanzhen Temple doesn't need this one.

...

The next day,

Afternoon,

Zhao Mansion, backyard.

The Zhao family is indeed wealthy. Even this house is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Not to mention the pavilions, towers, and rockery gardens, they actually dug a small river around it, and then drew water from the Baisha River to create a sense of a small bridge and flowing water. It is really a big deal.

The courtyard of the second daughter of the Zhao family is located in the center. It is an attic with three floors, each with its own function.

But at this moment, in this courtyard, under the midday sun, dozens of people were directed around.

"You, you, you, yes, you, go and help put the altar in place, be careful not to mess up the instruments."

"And you, pull the red line around the yard, remember, don't leave too much space."

"Yes, just allow one person to go in and out, the road must pass through this side."

"And here, nail the instruments, hurry up, hurry up."

"Here, here, paste the yellow talisman."

"How are the things we need to prepare, glutinous rice, yellow dog, black dog blood, incense ash, all of these must be prepared."

Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie had never seen such a scene, and some didn't know what to do. But Yi Huai, who was a veteran in all kinds of things, commanded a group of servants around, as if he was too busy.

This is actually useless, but it really makes you feel at ease.

On the side, Mr. Zhao wiped the sweat from his head and said with some lingering fear: "Master Chu, Master Chu, is there really no problem this time?"

There were two people standing behind him, one was tall and strong, and the other was short and fat, but both were majestic and looked down on people. They were obviously two martial artists of the Zhao family.

Chu Zhou glanced at the two and looked at Mr. Zhao, saying: "Of course, there is a problem!"

"Ah, ah, what should I do?"

"Or you can ask for help?"

"No, no, no, Master, I really don't believe you, this is not, no, cough, cough, isn't it that you are confused because of your concern?"

"I know you are confused because of your concern, but in this situation, you can only trust me, and if you trust me, don't say more nonsense."

Chu Zhou was very strong, so strong that Mr. Zhao didn't know what to say. It seemed that this ghost disaster really made him lose his mind.

But what Chu Zhou needed was this strength to create the atmosphere he needed.

On the attic, a curtain was slightly lifted, revealing a beautiful face that seemed to be both angry and happy, looking at the scene below with an anxious look.

How could this person be weak after being harmed by ghosts?

Chu Zhou saw all of this and couldn't help but put on a smile, feeling that he had a better grasp of this line.
