God and mystery

Chapter 177 Gusu Ghost Town
Luo Poxian had never suffered such a big deflation, his body was destroyed, and the other party was also a Huang Ting, so he killed him instantly as soon as he met him!
He escaped into a mountain temple with his soul. At this time, in the mountain temple, the Lord of the Land was eating tribute. Suddenly a strong wind blew, and all the fruits and vegetables in front of the Lord of the Land disappeared, and his real body was still visible from the clay sculpture of the temple. It was shot out of the body!

The Lost Immortal turned into a gust of wind, and took out a few fruits and vegetables from the Lord of the Land, and took away the offerings from others, and a voice came from a distance between heaven and earth:
"Old man of the land, let me lend you a clay sculpture!"

The land master chased to the door, jumping and cursing.

What kind of ghost dares to go to the earth temple to grab food, that's not bad!

The Lost Immortal swept away the statue of the Lord of the Land, and then turned to a temple with a mountain gate. After landing, he possessed himself. After a while, the clay sculpture's body could move like a living person, but it couldn't be splashed with water. Not this body.

Xuanmiao Temple is the place where the incense of Quanzhen Taoist sect in Gusu flourished. Compared with the declining ancestral court in the north, the incense here is still strong.

"Which mountain and land are you the land god?"

Some disciples in the Taoist temple came out to greet him, and when they saw the clay sculpture god descending here, they came to question him.

Luo Poxian immediately stared, and the body of the clay sculpture was also full of anger:

"You little dolls, you don't recognize this old man!"

The disciples were shocked: "Luo, Uncle Luo!"

"Luopo! I call myself the Luopo Immortal, but you uncle, I am really downcast today!"

The Clay Sculpture God flew into the Xuanmiao Guanzheng Palace and settled in the Miluo Pavilion. This palace was built during the Ming Yingzong period.

The eaves are upturned, towering into the sky, and the gods are enshrined. The upper layer is the Lord of the Ten Thousand Emperors, and the 28 stars are enshrined on the left and right;

This palace is in the boundary, and mortals can't see it.

At this time, many Taoists were preaching scriptures. Seeing the clay statue gods coming in, the mage at the top didn't even talk about the scriptures. He suddenly laughed and pointed to the clay statue gods who entered the door and said, "Luopoxian, why did you go home in another place?" look like?"

When the people around learned that the clay statue god was actually Luoluoxian, they burst into laughter, and an elder said: "Luoluoxian, you must have harassed those talented men and beautiful women again. Others are a natural match for talent and beauty. You are slovenly, and your clothes are unclean. Gao, but they are mortals with naked eyes, who would go up the mountain with you to cleanse yourself!"

"Longevity is good, but Quanzhen is not close to women. He is a real monk. He has no worries. You just want to break up those mandarin ducks. This is a detrimental thing. It is better to do it less!"

Luo Poxian jumped up immediately: "I haven't harassed those people today. No, I haven't harassed them yet!"

"My physical body was destroyed, and I borrowed the clay sculpture from the Lord of the Land"

"Borrow, isn't your borrowing just a robbery? You go again"

Before the Taoist in the center of the palace finished speaking, green leaves fell out from behind the clay statue god.

"Going to grab the land master's food again!"

Luo Poxian threw the vegetable leaf into the mouth of the clay sculpture and ate it, and angrily told everyone what happened today.

The ins and outs, so and so, and so and so!

"I am also Huang Ting, and the Taoist man in soapy clothes is also Huang Ting. His body was still repaired, but I was destroyed by him just by meeting him! He said that he is the head of the Taoist Department, the person who is in charge of the world's Taoist affairs. I Why haven’t I heard of this official position! Didn’t the Daolu Department have an owner? Didn’t Zhang Tianshi take charge of it before!”

"And when did the imperial court eagle dogs become so powerful! Those god generals guarding one side have advanced in practice, and I can understand it. After all, they are the toubob kings. The imperial court Daolu department came from the sky. Daming has become weaker and weaker over the years. Apart from the scene of Zhang Tianshi Town, the Ming court's Shuntian generals, how can there be Huang Tingjing characters!"

"I can't beat him, I'm so aggrieved, I implore my brother to be the master for me! He also said to spare my life, and after reshaping my body, go to the local Taoist secretary to register my name! I was born as a loose person, how can I leave it in the imperial court's books?" The real name, leaving a name in the world of mortals, will pollute my soul!"

Luo Po Xian hoped that some Taoist who preached the scriptures would find a place for him, but this Taoist fixed his eyes and said to Luo Po Xian:
"He wore soap clothes, came by boat, came from the north, young and promising, and his body was rebuilt?"

Luo Poxian quickly responded: "That's right, this kid should still be on the canal now! I'll take my brother to fight him!"

"No!"

The Taoist waved his hand and looked at Luo Luoxian: "Luo Luo Luo, you have met a big man this time."

"Huang Tianjiao Zen Master Huyan, this is a great evil spirit!"

After talking about what happened recently, she told Luo Poxian, Luo Poxian's eyes widened: "Is it true?"

"Zen Master Huyan killed several big monks? His daughter set fire to the Forbidden City?! My God, he is crazy! Daming's palace is not like this. It is true that there are no masters, but the national prestige is not fake , how did she burn it!"

"It is said that it was achieved by taking advantage of a loophole and using a special god position, and it cannot be copied."

The Taoist sat up straight: "Qiu Hong, the founder of Quanzhen's ancestral court, died. This matter caused a great disturbance. Now that Zen Master Huyan has come to our territory, we must not let him go."

"But he has a way of ignoring the defense of the body and directly taking people's lives. Any magic weapon or spell for body protection seems to be ineffective. In the wish of Taoist Kaishan, it is recorded that this kind of trick is terrible. There are two decent people Fellow Daoist in the Primordial Spirit Realm, was crushed and killed silently by this move."

"Of course, although the moves are strong, fortunately they can't be cast instantly. During this period, one strike wins, locking his soul and preventing him from casting spells is the key."

Luo Po Xian's clay sculpture eyes rolled, and he said to the Taoist: "There is a way, there are a few people around him, I will go and catch that scholar and that little fox fairy, he will definitely come straight to my Xuanmiao Temple, when the time comes, please enter the urn, catch the turtle in the urn, and close the door beat the dog."

The Taoist frowned: "We are a decent sect. You arrest people casually and force him here. Zen Master Huyan is not a good person, but one of the great evil spirits in the world. Aren't you afraid that he will kill you?"

"I don't know his details at all, and it's even more inadvisable to introduce him rashly. You are not allowed to arrest people. I will meet him personally for a while to test his background. Now it seems that Huang Tingjing is not afraid of him."

"I am Quanzhen. In the whole of the south, the incense is barely strong. It is not bad. I will invite a few comrades, not in the name of Nanyangzi, but in the name of Xuanmiaoguan. Block him, help me keep an eye on him, see where he is going, and let me know at any time!"

The Taoist flew out, performed an escape technique, and disappeared in an instant.

Luo Poxian scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, and dropped the mud all over the floor: "This is a good evasion technique, it can come and go without a trace in an instant, but you don't let me learn it, it's really stingy!"

However, when he was laughing, he turned his head and found that there was an extra person in this world.

The majestic and resplendent red light shone down, and it was particularly strange on the man in coir raincoat.

The Taoist priests in the palace all noticed the appearance of this person, and they all asked strangely: "Who are you and how did you get in?"

People who are not members of Xuanmiao Temple, or those who have not been invited, cannot enter here.

The man in coir raincoat rolled his eyes, but he only had one eye. He let out a laugh from his withered mouth: "Pimpedao is your ancestor."

"What kind of coir raincoat is a poor man?"

The founder of Xuanmiao Temple, He Suoyi, and other Taoists stood up in surprise, but the next moment...
Luo Poxian's clay sculpture eyes widened!
"He is not alive! No, he is a corpse!"

"Who dares to steal the body of the ancestor!"

Immediately, Taoists around shouted loudly!

"quack!"

The corpse of the "Patriarch" suddenly opened his mouth, and with just one click, the soul of the person with a low cultivation level immediately left the body, was drawn away and died!

It was night in Gusu, and staying here for a few days, Ji Xiang felt that the fallen fairy would come back, so he promised Feng Menglong to protect him here for a few days, and when everything was sorted out, everyone went their separate ways.

Ji Xiang is going to go directly to the opponent's lair.

Feng Menglong couldn't help but said: "Master Daoist, are you going to find trouble with him with the cannon?"

Ji Xiang: "Don't worry, Pindao never kills innocent people indiscriminately. Those who kill are the ones who deserve to be killed! If he resists, he is the devil, and if he does not resist, he is a determined devil."

It's a pity that this old lecherous ghost haunts and haunts, and after many inquiries, there is no specific address.

But Feng Menglong kept Ji Xiang, fearing that the old lecher would come back for revenge, and asked Ji Xiang to live near the brothel. At that time, the woman with the surname seemed to have a very good relationship with Feng Menglong, and thanked Ji Xiang like a sister-in-law. Thank you Ji Xiang for helping him during the day move.

Ji Xiang also needs Feng Menglong's novels to help him accumulate his wishes, so of course he agrees. After all, a future Confucian saint with righteousness can make good friends. This friend has great potential and is helpful to him. reasons to protect him.

There is a curfew in Shuntian, but there is no curfew in the south. In fact, the curfew was abolished in the late Ming Dynasty. Except for Jiubian Town and Shuntian Mansion, there are not many other places that still have curfew.

At night, brothels in Gusu are still buzzing with people, talented scholars, beauties, and famous opera actors, bringing joy and enjoyment to the world in this ancient city.

But under the night, it is also the time when ghosts are rampant. Some ghosts enter the city where the living people live and live with the living people. This kind of ghosts are called "living ghosts". For some basic work, some ghosts even huddle in temples, living by chopping firewood for charcoal fire, and they can also enjoy the fire.

Ji Xiang saw that many living ghosts were working in the city. In the so-called night market, at least half of the merchants and one-third of the buyers were these ghosts.

Living ghosts, it is said in the ancient books of the Southern Song Dynasty that as long as their ghost bodies are not broken, they will not disappear or die, but will be the same as living people, and they will not even know that they are actually dead people.

"It is said that in Lin'an City in the Song Dynasty, one tenth of the population was ghosts."

The girls in the brothel can't come out, but the sound of the strings can travel far along the street. The ladies usually have attendants to follow, and people from the rivers and lakes also appear everywhere at night, and revenge-seeking fights occurred in some places.

However, when Ji Xiang turned around, many people or ghosts turned their heads slightly. Their complexions were normal, but one of their eyes always protruded gradually, and then turned around with a grunt. , Staring at Ji Xiang.

"Ji Xiang. Wherever you go, it will turn into a ghost realm."

"Longevity Immortal Palace will never forget you."

"Tonight is when you die."

Many people muttered to themselves, their eyeballs rolled, and when Ji Xiang turned his head, everything returned to normal.

When Nan Yangzi returned to Xuanmiao Temple.

Everything was as usual, and the surrounding Taoists were slightly swollen, facing him and saluting him respectfully.

After Nanyangzi entered the palace, the teeth of the Taoists outside began to become sharp, and their faces were full of ghostly aura.
