The Taoist Priest of the Supernatural World

Chapter 123 Weird Stone Master
Several people hiding on the roof of Zhegu House witnessed with their own eyes the scene of a mandrill eating up a corpse in a coffin.

Qiu Sheng, the youngest and least experienced one, subconsciously covered his mouth to prevent himself from exclaiming:
"Master...it's eating corpses!"

He had seen monkeys, but he had never seen a mandrill that was taller and stronger than humans, had green claws, a green face and fangs.

Especially at this moment, the mandrill was still stuffing the rotten meat in the coffin into his mouth, which really made him want to vomit:
“…Ugh…Ugh…”

This was not just a visual feast; the smell of the rotten meat even caused him to vomit physically when it reached his nose.

But when Qiu Sheng turned around and found that he was the only one among the four people who vomited, he forced himself to swallow it.

He can't lose this person!
Continuing to observe, what made Uncle Jiu feel even more strange was that the mandrill nodded with great satisfaction after eating the dead flesh on the human body.

Then, he closed the coffin with ease, nailed it shut, and then quickly ran towards the distant mountains and forests.

It looked like he was just hungry and went down the mountain to have a meal. It was so casual and skillful.

Watching the mandrill leave, Qiu Sheng loosened his hand that was covering his mouth, and then gasped heavily:
"Huh...huh...huh..."

"Master, what are these? How come I didn't know there are such big monkeys around here?"

Seeing Qiu Sheng's horrified expression, Uncle Jiu shook his head, and then looked at the many coffins nearby with a deep gaze:
"This is not a big monkey but a mandrill, a kind of mountain monster. It likes to eat people and is wild and untamed. It often robs merchants."

"If an ordinary person sees a common mandrill, he can escape with his life if he has weapons in his hands and enough courage."

"But this mandrill has already grown to its limit. It's not an exaggeration to call it the king of mandrills..."

When he said this, Uncle Jiu's eyes became more and more solemn, as if he understood something:
"No wonder there are coffins at the doorsteps of every household here. It seems like this has become an established rule with the mandrills."

"The corpse placed at the door should be the offering in Gaoshan Town. It is really as Aunt Zhe said. The ghost and god worship in Gaoshan Town is so primitive..."

It was only in ancient times, when people were still uncivilized, that people had the custom of offering blood food to ghosts and monsters.

With the development of practitioners later, they basically offered incense and the way of offering food to ghosts and gods became more civilized.

From ancient times to the present, after many dynasties and generations, there is no longer any primitive worship like that in Gaoshan Town.

After all, this situation is said to be customary, but it is actually extremely dangerous for the people in the town.

After all, mandrills are inhumane!

After hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Aunt Zhe beside him nodded in agreement, and then said:
"This mandrill is eight feet tall and as strong as an ox. Its hands are glowing green, which is clearly a sign that the poison has penetrated into its bones."

"If an ordinary person gets even a scratch from those sharp claws, they will be killed instantly. It can be said that if they get scratched, they will die, and if they get touched, they will be injured."

When she said this, the Sugarcane Girl looked at the direction where the mandrill left with great solemnity:

"The mandrill is a violent creature that likes to eat people and often eats carrion. It is impossible for its appetite to be so small."

"If we don't get rid of this monster, we will be irresponsible to the people around us. We must not let this monster survive!"

When she said this, Zhe Gu was crackling the two iron walnuts in her hands.

Fortunately, it was made of iron, otherwise two walnuts would have been crushed into powder by her.

Seeing the two brothers and sisters singing in unison, Song Feng knocked on the bricks and tiles with the rattan stick in his hand, and then said softly:
"Although a mandrill like this has eaten countless people and animals, it's a bit risky for us to defeat it."

"How can a human fight against a strange beast? If Qiu Sheng is asked to take the thunder again, he will probably be beaten to death by this mandrill in just a few hits!"

"You should think about how to use the least amount of force to get rid of this mandrill..."

Not to mention the poison in the body of the eight-foot-tall mandrill, its strength alone is enough to kill most practitioners.

Although the Xiashan white monkey is a different species, it is more agile, while this mandrill is really powerful and strong.

This king of mandrills has the power to fight a tiger. With just a few old, weak and sick people, they probably can't withstand a head-on fight.

After hearing what Uncle Seven said, Uncle Nine nodded seriously, as if he was also thinking:
"I thought mandrills had disappeared after so many years, but I didn't expect there would be a big one here."

"This Mandrill King is probably no worse than the Golden Armored Corpse. We have to make a long-term plan..."

After hearing his master say that he would take a long-term view and not let himself take the blame, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief:

"Ah, yes, yes, we need to think long and hard..."

Although he has the ability to transform between reality and illusion, it is still strange that such a big mandrill can become a spirit and do evil things.

I really can't compare to him in terms of skills.

If he let his master cast the spell from behind while he was holding the attack from the front, he would probably be killed in just a few moves as his seventh uncle had said.

He still wants to live well.

At this moment, Uncle Jiu's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice:
"Hold your breath tightly and suppress your Yang Qi!"

After he finished speaking, he saw Uncle Jiu lightly tapping his shoulder and chest, and then his face immediately turned pale.

I vaguely felt that I had stopped breathing.

After suppressing his yang fire, Uncle Jiu instantly came in front of Qiu Sheng and tapped on his spiritual platform:
"Edict!"

As he tapped lightly, the flame pattern on Qiu Sheng's forehead suddenly lit up.

Afterwards, Qiu Sheng's body began to become illusory and unreal, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a ghost with a human body!
While Uncle Jiu was helping Qiu Sheng suppress his yang fire, Aunt Zhe took out two porcelain dolls from her pocket and placed them on her shoulders:
"As one rises, the other falls. Command!"

As Zhe Gu placed the porcelain doll on her shoulders, the three yang fires on her body began to dim rapidly.

But in the blink of an eye, her face and even her body turned pale.

Watching their actions, Song Feng smiled slightly. He didn't make any movements, and the yang energy in his body was quickly suppressed.

But in the blink of an eye, the breath of the four living people completely disappeared.

After finishing all this, Uncle Jiu looked down at the Gaoshan Town.

Take a closer look.

At this moment, under the moonlight, thin mist began to rise in all directions of Gaoshan Town.

"woo woo woo woo……"

As the mist rose, it seemed that one illusory figure after another emerged from the ground.

At first it was just one or two.

But in just the blink of an eye, the entire street in Gaoshan Town was completely filled with numerous phantoms.

They are young and old and of all shapes and sizes.

But without exception, they are all illusory and pale-faced existences.

"woo woo woo woo……"

Seeing this scene, Qiu Sheng, who had activated his ghostly characteristics, couldn't help but take a breath:
"Hiss... so many ghosts?"

If you look with the naked eye, there must be hundreds of them, right?

Looking at the eerie appearance of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is really enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Even though he has practiced a little bit in his human and ghost bodies, he doesn't dare to rush in casually. It's so terrifying!
Seeing the scene of hundreds of ghosts parading at night, Uncle Jiu and Aunt Zhe couldn't help but look at each other subconsciously:
"…It's a ghost town!" ×2
When he said this, Uncle Jiu took a look at the entire Gaoshan Town, and then he became a little solemn:

"This Gaoshan town not only has primitive worship, but also reverses yin and yang, forming a ghost domain with a special pattern."

"There are so many ghosts, but the underworld hasn't sent anyone to capture them. It looks like there must be something special about this place!"

When he said this, Uncle Jiu suddenly took out a piece of yellow paper and stuck it on his chest:
"Let's go see what's going on!"

After he finished speaking, he took out three more pieces of the same talisman paper and handed them to Zhe Gu and the other three:
"This is a hidden qi talisman. Even in the ghost realm, it will not be discovered by many ghosts!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Jiu jumped down from the roof, followed by a group of ghosts, and floated away into the distance.

Looking at the yellow paper talisman in front of him, Song Feng gently placed it on his chest, and then jumped off the roof:

"I want to take a look too..."

Watching the two people jump down and blend into the large group of haunted houses.

For a moment, Qiu Sheng was at a loss:
"No... Master... Seventh Uncle... Don't run so fast, wait for me..."

After he finished speaking, he stuck the talisman on his chest and then jumped down.

Because of his own special abilities in human body and ghost body, he was able to blend into the ghosts more easily than the previous two people.

He first ran to the side of the Seventh Uncle, then gently supported the Seventh Uncle's arm:
"Seventh Uncle, please don't be so reckless. You can jump off such a high roof without any hesitation. You are so careless even at your age."

"When I get back, I will tell my aunt and ask her to give you a good talk. You don't take your health seriously enough..."

When Uncle Jiu first saw Qiu Sheng following him, he wanted Qiu Sheng to follow him to broaden his horizons.

However, when he saw Qiu Sheng, the little rascal, jump down and run straight to the old man, his seventh uncle, his face suddenly turned dark.

Especially when he heard Qiu Sheng asking about Seventh Uncle's well-being, Uncle Nine's face turned darker than the ash at the bottom of a pot.

Qiu Sheng, you bastard.

The master is still here!
Seeing Uncle Jiu walking in front of him with faster pace, Song Feng couldn't help but smile:

"Come on, Qiu Sheng, let's follow them and take a look. With your master's hidden qi talisman, ordinary mountain spirits and ghosts will not be able to find our traces at all..."

After the words fell, the two of them followed Uncle Jiu's steps and mixed in among the many ghosts.

Seeing the three people jumping as they said, Aunt Zhe was very angry:
"Don't run so fast, wait for me!"

After she finished speaking, she gently touched the noses of the two little porcelain dolls and then said:
"Follow me, let's go take a look!"

After she finished speaking, she quickly jumped down from the roof.

And at the moment he jumped, it seemed as if two little dolls were floating beside her, spinning around her.

In fact, seeing her walking among so many ghosts like a fish in water, she was even more at ease than Qiu Sheng, who was a ghost.

Keep going.

At first, these ghosts were wandering in the town, but after a while, they seemed to sense something and rushed into remote corners.

As if there was something good there.

Seeing this scene, Uncle Nine quickly followed:

"It looks like the thing behind this is about to show up."

Just as the four of them were mixing among the ghosts, they were surprised to find that this group of ghosts had gathered around a big rock.

Take a closer look.

All I saw was that the stone was as big as a millstone.

The whole body is surprisingly transparent.

It actually looks like topaz.

More importantly, this piece of stone looks as if it was placed here intentionally by someone, with no other stones surrounding it.

There are also remnants of incense and candles around.

It looked as if someone had burned incense here sometime.

On the wall behind the stone was a couplet, with two large characters written in the center:
"Master Shi!"

Although it doesn't look like a land temple.

However, the traces of incense residue near this stone are even more numerous than those in the thriving land temples.

As many ghosts surrounded them.

Indistinctly, this piece of stone seems to be more crystal clear.

Just at this time.

Suddenly, I heard a few dogs barking in the distance:

"Wang Wang Wang..."

Looking into the distance, they saw the old dog they saw at the door running over with two bones in its mouth:

"Woooooooo..."

The bones in the dog's mouth looked like arm bones, and the two bones were bulging in the dog's mouth.

When the old dog came to the stone, it placed the two bones near the stone.

Then he lay down directly, even bowing his head, with a vague feeling of submission:

"Woooooooo..."

As the old dog continued to kowtow.

The many ghosts also began to slowly surround the big rock.

Followed by.

The originally crystal clear stone seemed to come alive.

A faint yellow shadow whose details could not be seen suddenly floated out from inside, and worshipped the moonlight in the sky from afar:
"Om..."

As this phantom continued to worship.

It seemed as if a little moonlight was blending into the big rock from the sky, and then drifting away in all directions.

Faintly, the moonlight seemed to have grown darker.

The negative energy around seemed to be getting thicker and thicker.

Seeing this scene, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but look at the yellow stone in surprise, looking a little skeptical:
"…Is it the Feng Shui Stone that's causing the trouble?"
