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

Chapter 107 The God of Fortune Helps Han Xiangzi; The Fairy in the Painting Is Charming
"My young master is bewitched." Qiao Shen said.

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi flashed his eyes and asked:

"How to get evil, let's talk about it?"

After saying that, Qiao Shen led the horse to Han Xiangzi, and asked:
"Daoist, it is better to ride the horse first, and go back with the next."

"It's not too late to talk about it on the road."

Han Xiangzi shook his head and said:
"No need."

"Pindao has the skill of soaring clouds, and he can reach Daizhou in a short time. It doesn't matter if you say it first."

As soon as this remark came out, Qiao Shen was shocked, and his view of Han Xiangzi changed a lot.

Knowing that he met an expert, he lowered his head and remained silent for a while, as if he was preparing words.

After a few breaths, he spoke:

"I can't remember exactly when the second young master was bewitched by an evil spirit. I only know that after the second young master fell ill last time, when he woke up, he seemed to be a different person."

"I didn't go looking for the lost Second Young Mistress, but stayed in Qinfang Pavilion all day. After a few days, he suddenly found the pen, ink, paper and inkstone used by the old ancestor at home. Since that day, So I locked myself in the painting studio and seldom went out."

"Who is the Second Young Mistress of your Qiao Mansion?"

Han Xiangzi grasped the key and asked.

"The second young lady's name is Yin He, and she is not from Daizhou. One day, she came to Qinfang Pavilion to enjoy the flowers, and met the second young master. The second young master fell in love with her at first sight, and pursued her vigorously afterwards. That's why the second young lady married into Qiao's residence." Qiao Shen replied.

"Yin He, He Yin?"

"Could it be that Heyin used an alias?"

Knowing that the second young lady's name was Yin He, Han Xiangzi was taken aback.

"Then how did she disappear?"

Han Xiangzi asked again.

Speaking of this, Qiao Shen suddenly showed a strange expression, he said: "Speaking of the disappearance of the second young lady, it is strange."

"how do I say this?"

"The Second Young Mistress disappeared for no reason. The night before, she slept with the Second Young Master in a quilt, and she disappeared early the next morning. I searched inside and outside the house, but I still couldn't find anyone."

"I searched in Daizhou for another month, but there was still no one."

"Ever since the Second Young Mistress disappeared, the Second Young Master has been depressed, neither eating nor drinking, and finally fell ill."

After hearing Qiao Shen's words, Han Xiangzi had a different view on Na Heyin's disappearance.

That Heyin is a disciple of Taoist Jingqian of the Hundred Flowers School.

Xiu has "Su Hua Miao Zhen", and his cultivation base is not inferior to him.

If she wanted to leave Qiao's mansion without anyone noticing, with her magic power, she could easily do so.

But in this way, new problems have arisen.

That's why He Yin left Qiao Mansion?

She has a deep relationship with Qiao Shen and his wife, so she did not hesitate to escape from the sect for this reason.

The two were married not long ago, newlyweds, how could they leave suddenly and silently?
There must be a secret in this.

It's a pity that Han Xiangzi will be difficult to guess for a while.

When he came back to his senses, Han Xiangzi sneered at Qiao Shen:
"Let's go, Pindao first go and see this young master Qiao who has been bewitched by evil!"

When the words fell, the first person turned into a ray of light and disappeared before Qiao Shen's eyes.

Seeing this, Qiao Shen was horrified.

Not long after, a touch of comfort surged in my heart:

"It's not in vain that I have been looking for an expert these days, and now I really met it!"

Immediately, he also got on his horse and rushed to Daizhou.

……

Han Xiangzi entered the city much earlier than Qiao Shen.

During this period, in order to find out whether Heyin had left Daizhou or not.

After thinking about it for a while, I came to the local earth temple.

I want to ask the land father-in-law.

The father-in-law of the land is also the god of fortune and the god of society.

Han Xiangzi had dealt with the god of society in Qizhou before, so he was no stranger to this.

Came to the Earth Temple in the south of Daizhou City.

Han Xiangzi found that there were many pilgrims here, and most of them carried bamboo baskets in twos and threes, and came here to offer incense and bow down.

After entering the temple, Han Xiangzi saw the statue of the land god in front of him.

This statue is a white-haired old man holding a green stick and smiling.

It seems that there is no such majesty as other gods, but some are amiable.

Han Xiangzi first lit a candle with him as usual, and then he chanted the formula to invite God.

Not long after, Han Xiangzi heard someone lazily replying:

"Little Taoist priest, what's the point of calling the old man for no reason?"

"Pindao wants to ask Mr. Fude whether the second young lady of the Qiao family in the city has left Daizhou?"

Knowing that the father-in-law of the land was invited, Han Xiangzi replied via voice transmission.

"No."

The land is fair.

"Then why did she disappear?"

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi was puzzled.

"This old man doesn't know. The second young lady of the Qiao family you mentioned should be a practitioner. In the past few years, the number of practitioners from Daizhou is limited. It's rare to meet someone like her who is about to enter the realm of a real person."

"It's just a pity that she had the road of immortality to go, but she gave it up for the sake of marriage."

The land father-in-law couldn't answer, but just let out a long sigh.

Suddenly, he took the initiative to ask Han Xiangzi:

"Little Taoist priest, why did you come to find her?"

"Master Fude, to be honest, that female crown is a member of the Hundred Flowers Sect of Taoism in the world. It is reported that she returned to the sect last time, killed her teacher, and escaped. An old friend asked the poor Taoist to come to Daizhou to find her."

Han Xiangzi said frankly.

"So that's the case. However, I can guarantee that this woman has never left Daizhou, and she is probably still hiding somewhere."

The father-in-law of the land understood, and said again with certainty.

"Thank you, Master Fude, for letting me know that today, Pindao took the liberty to come and disturb me."

After Han Xiangzi came back to his senses, he turned his head slightly towards the statue.

Now that he knew that Heyin was in Daizhou, the direction of his search was roughly determined.

It is here in Daizhou!

"It's okay, you little Taoist priest is full of immortality and divine splendor. It seems that you have come into contact with many immortal families, but you are a person with a profound source of blessing."

"If you encounter difficulties in the future, just come and find the old man."

The father-in-law of the land smiled kindly.

In the words, he was very willing to be convenient with Han Xiangzi.

Han Xiangzi didn't smile at this.

During this time, he had indeed come into contact with many gods.

First there was the Qizhou City God, then there was the Fairy from Tianhuyuan, and not long ago, there was the God King Xianzhen from Qingxuan Zuofu.

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi bowed deeply to the statue of the Lord of the Earth, and then left the Earth Temple.

"Master Fude said that Heyin didn't leave Daizhou, so where is she?"

"Could it be that you were still in Qiao's residence?"

After leaving the Earth Temple, Han Xiangzi kept pondering in his heart.

Thinking about the taboos set by Qiao's mansion, he suspected that He Yin had been staying in the mansion.

But Qiao's mansion is so big, there is no place to hide at all.

Suddenly, Han Xiangzi seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up:
"Could this Heyin be hidden among the flowers, plants and trees in the city with the technique of Borrowing Flowers from the Hundred Flowers School?"

After this thought arose in his mind, it was very difficult for Han Xiangzi to continue betting.

He felt that Qiao Chang's Qin Fangting was very suspicious.

Thinking of this, Han Xiangzi immediately went to Qiao's residence.

……

Today, the gate of Qiao Mansion is still quite lively.

There are many people who come to ask for paintings in front of the gate.

As soon as Han Xiangzi arrived here, he suddenly noticed a bad look.

When I looked around, I saw that pedestrian I met on the road a few days ago.

At this moment, the man also saw Han Xiangzi.

Immediately, he walked out of the crowd, with a mocking look on his face, and sneered at Han Xiangzi:

"You Xiaodao, didn't you say you came to Qiao's mansion to ask for paintings?"

"Why did you get caught by me today?"

"Obviously a person of the same way, but pretending to be noble!"

"With my uncle here today, you don't want to take half a step into Qiao's residence!"

The words fell, and immediately caused a commotion.

"Isn't this Brother Wang Liu?"

"I heard that Brother Wang has a cousin who works in Qiao's mansion, and often steals the useless paintings of the second young master Qiao."

"It turns out that Brother Wang has always said that he has the painting of the second son of Qiao and asked everyone to buy it. I didn't expect it to be a bad painting. Isn't this a lie?"

Someone recognized Wang Liu and whispered.

Hearing this, some people already sneered at Wang Liu.

I feel ashamed of him selling bad paintings to deceive people.

The sound of accusations made Wang Liu blush a little. He was unrelenting towards Han Xiangzi, and said nonsense:

"Is it your little way, talking nonsense behind your back?"

When the words fell, Wang Liu wanted to raise his hand and hit Han Xiangzi.

That's the only way to vent your anger.

Although Han Xiangzi didn't pay attention to Wang Liu's intentions, when he saw him throwing his fist, there seemed to be a golden light flashing through his eyes.

The next moment, there was a sharp pain in Wang Liu's arm, and then he heard a click, and then his arm seemed to be broken abruptly.

Wang Liu was in pain, clutching his arm and screaming, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"It must be you, a Taoist, who used sorcery to harm me!"

"Don't go, wait until I report to the police, and I will arrest you and deal with it severely!"

Resisting the injury on his arm, Wang Liu looked at Han Xiangzi fiercely and threatened.

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi looked indifferent.

This Wang Liu is really a naughty rascal, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and pretending to be a scholar in vain.

During the noise.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horseshoes.

It was Qiao Shen who finally returned to Qiao's Mansion after more than an hour of traveling.

As soon as I came here, I saw this situation.

Qiao Shen's face sank, and he immediately turned to the two servants at the door and asked:
"what happened?"

"Brother Shen, that Wang Liu is causing trouble."

A servant replied.

This Qiao Shen's status in the Qiao Mansion is not ordinary.

He was sold into Qiao's mansion since he was a child.

At that time, the old man of the Qiao family saw that he was smart and intelligent, so he made him the companion of the second young master Qiao, and even gave him the surname Qiao afterwards.

Now, the second son of Qiao is obsessed with painting, and the eldest son is an official outside, so many things in the mansion are handled by him on weekdays.

"Catch him and hand over to the officials for strict punishment!"

Regarding this, Qiao Shen couldn't help but say.

Immediately, he dismounted quickly, with a smile on his face, walked up to Han Xiangzi, and said very politely:

"Daoist, please enter the mansion quickly."

Seeing this, Han Xiangzi nodded slightly.

Under Qiao Shen's leadership, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, they walked into Qiao's mansion.

the other side.

Seeing this situation, Wang Liu couldn't help but stay on the spot!
Who is this Taoist priest, who can make the book boy of the Second Young Master Qiao treat him so politely?
Before he could react, a servant of the Qiao family had already stepped forward and pushed him to the ground, turning him into the government.

This time, Wang Liuke suffered a big loss.

As everyone knows, this move also implicated his cousin who worked in Qiao's mansion.

……

Follow Qiao Shen to Qiao Mansion.

From Han Xiangzi's point of view, the Qiao Mansion is worthy of being a big and scholarly family in Daizhou.

When you come to the house, there is a wind of elegance and fun.

In the courtyard, the ancient pagoda trees stand tall in the sky, and the ground is full of shade.

There are pavilions, pavilions, and rice paddies to communicate with each other, and the green ranks of white brazing are like silver flowers.

As Han Xiangzi walked and watched, he already had a general understanding of the Qiao Mansion in his heart.

"Master, madam, I have invited a real expert!"

That Qiao Shen entered the hall earlier than Han Xiangzi, and when he came to the hall, he shouted eagerly with Master Qiao and Mrs. Qiao.

Hearing this, both of them came out to greet them, and saw a young Taoist outside the hall, who was born in a fine forest with a golden appearance and a loose posture with crane bones.

"Qiao Shen, from which fairy mountain did you invite this expert?"

asked Master Joe.

"This……"

When asked by Master Qiao, Qiao Shen froze for a moment.

Before, he forgot to inquire about his origin.

But there is no doubt that Han Xiangzi possesses immortal skills.

"Master Qiao, poor Daoist surnamed Han, from Zhongnan Mountain. Recently, I heard from people from the same sect that Qiao's residence is in trouble, so I came here to help."

Han Xiangzi came over and explained with a smile.

"It turned out to be Daoist Han, please sit down!"

Master Qiao nodded and stretched out his hand to signal.

"Thank you."

Han Xiangzi nodded slightly at him.

After sitting down, a maid brought tea to serve.

During the period, Master Qiao and Han Xiangzi exchanged a few words, and then asked bluntly:

"When Daoist Han came, Prime Minister Qiao Shen must have told the Daoist about the current situation in the Qiao Mansion. I wonder if Daoist Han thought my son was bewitched that time?"

"Master Qiao, don't look down on poor people."

"People who practice medicine pay attention to what they see, hear and ask. How can I draw conclusions easily if I haven't seen the second son of Qiao Daolian?"

Han Xiangzi shook his head and spoke helplessly.

Hearing this, Master Qiao was stunned. After realizing it, he smiled apologetically:
"I'm anxious."

"It's just that Chang'er is still painting in the painting studio, so it's inconvenient to see guests, so please trouble Daoist Han to stay in Qiao's residence today."

After finishing speaking, he told Qiao Shen who was beside him:
"Qiao Shen, order your servants to prepare the guest room."

"Yes, sir."

Qiao Shen responded.

"Master Qiao, I heard that there is a Qinfang Pavilion in your mansion, which has exhausted the flowers and plants in the whole state. I wonder if it is acceptable for the poor to take a look?"

Han Xiangzi suddenly stood up and proposed to visit the Qinfang Pavilion.

"It's a garden where Gouzi is tossing around. How dare you say that the flowers and plants in the whole state are exhausted. Daoist Han wants to see it, so it's natural."

Master Qiao thought it would be no different, so he readily agreed.

However, after finishing speaking, Mrs. Qiao gave him a blank look.

Then he bowed to Han Xiangzi and said:
"Han Daochang, in recent days, Gouzi has kept a close eye on that Qinfang Pavilion, preventing outsiders from entering."

"I'm afraid that if you want to see the Qinfang Pavilion, you have to ask the dog's opinion first."

Han Xiangzi didn't feel abrupt, so he agreed:
"This Qinfang Pavilion was built by the Second Young Master Qiao, so it depends on what he wants."

Now, Han Xiangzi has sneaked into Qiao's residence, and he can go to Qinfang Pavilion at any time.

Today he just mentioned it in passing.

I really want to see it, when there is no one in the middle of the night, I can sneak in.

While talking with Mrs. Qiao, Han Xiangzi's eyes suddenly paused.

Immediately, he was attracted by a painting hanging behind the hall.

I saw that the scenery in that painting was floating in the mist and warm green, with clouds and cliffs, and a beautiful woman in red.

Especially that beautiful woman, with a fairy appearance and jade color, and a robe of robes and robes, looks graceful and graceful, just like a fairy coming to the dust.

For a moment, Han Xiangzi was a little crazy.

When he regained his senses, Master Qiao had a smug look on his face, and said:
"This is the ancestor's..."
