What kind of Journey to the West is this?

"Where's my body? No, why would a thief steal the old lady's body?

"Thief! A thief who stole the corpse!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, "Who is in the mourning hall at this time of night?"

The black cat gnashed its teeth, leaped onto the beam and hid.

Donghuang Suddenly Receives Jade Talisman: Chapter 186 [An Yanxia, Why Don't You Become a Divine Beast?]

It’s a clear night and the moon is bright.

I only saw a black shadow passing through the sky and landing on the red wall of the City God Temple.

Inside the temple, bells and chimes rang out. Zongyuan, a young Taoist priest from the Po Luo Temple, stood before the chimes, hammer in hand, clanging the "Purifying Heart Mantra." In the corner, two young girls, holding lanterns and lighting incense burners, lined up on either side. Jiuzhezi, too, put away his old teeth and solemnly donned his robes.

The Three Emperors Fast must be prepared for at least one night, and only at midnight will the Three Emperors descend to respond.

If a spirit is present, the city's citizens will feel it the next day when they come to worship. A child with a sincere heart might even catch a glimpse of the gods feasting in heaven. Even a fleeting glimpse can blossom and bear fruit in their hearts in the future—this is immortal fate.

Most people lose their magic brushes when they are in their teens, but some people can still draw eyes on the dragon even when they are over 70 years old.

Recite the scriptures nine times and the ceremony is over.

Xue Shier was drowsy in the corner. She opened her eyes only when the bells stopped ringing, the scriptures stopped being recited, and the jade chimes stopped making sounds.

The cat looked at Yu Qinghuai, hoping that Yu Qinghuai could make her some milk tea.

She asked excitedly, "Is it over?"

Miss Yu couldn't help but laugh. Pointing to the distant eternal lamps and incense burners, she said, "It's still early. Just wait until the lamps burn out, the incense mist fills the hall, and the spiritual response from the heavens dissipates. That will be almost over."

The snow lion opened its mouth, found a place, changed into its original form and lay down to continue sleeping.

——When the house is on fire, I take pictures. When life is in chaos, I sleep!

Yu Qinghuai blinked, picked up Xue Shier, put her on the cushion in the Guanyin Bodhisattva Hall, and asked her to sleep on her stomach in front of the Bodhisattva.

Walk out of the Bodhisattva Hall and continue to preside over the Three Emperors Fast.

A dark figure sneaked in from the other side, carrying a corpse on his shoulder.

Who else could it be?

The corpse thief is here!

An Yanxia was also afraid that the corpse would defile Qinghuai's palace, so she specially wiped off the blood and smeared a layer of lime on the corpse.

It was also during this operation that An Yanxia discovered a very interesting part on the corpse.

Others said that Old Mrs. Li died seven or eight days ago.

But after she kicked the corpse away, she sniffed the blood spurting from the neck and immediately smelled a fresh scent - she had killed countless monsters in Wuhe Mountain and was very sensitive to the smell of fresh blood.

"I was wondering why she was resurrected. This is a resurrection! Ugh, resurrecting through an old lady's body, how shameless!"

Yan Xia was carrying the corpse, but she had a rough idea of what was going on.

The art of resurrecting a body, or possessing another's body, is a fundamental skill for cultivators who have achieved the status of Yin Shen. Once a Yin Shen emerges, it breaks free from the confines of its physical body, roaming freely between heaven and earth, controlling the pure energy of the six directions and reaching everywhere.

This would explain the resurrection of the dead - it was probably not a resurrection of the dead, but the return of the three souls and seven spirits, and the physical body naturally sensed it.

Just like a vegetative person will move his fingers and eyelids before fully waking up.

Yanxia first suspected the monk Jingqing from Qinglong Temple. When he came to Wuhe Mountain, he showed his ability to escape from the Yin spirit.

But the Qinglong Temple was burned down, and even the Yin God could not survive.

As a last resort, she had to ask Jiang Banxia to help.

Over there, Jiang Banxia struggled to climb over the wall, and with a cry, he fell headfirst into the soil.

Yanxia went over to pull up some onions and joked, "I heard that Shennong had a man who was good at growing onions. His surname was Jiang and his courtesy name was Meinaosinang."

Jiang Banxia grabbed Yanxia's hand and stood up. He brushed off the dirt on his body and said quietly, "I've also heard that there's a bird in the West that calls An'an and specializes in playing tricks on people. It's commonly known as Nong Shifei."

Yan Xia snorted twice, carried the corpse and took her into the Bodhisattva Hall, asking her to help with the autopsy.

As soon as he arrived in the hall, Jiang Banxia was slightly stunned.

Yan Xia urged her: "What are you looking at?"

Jiang Banxia looked at the cat on the cushion, and saw that the cat was lying on the cushion, as if crawling towards Guanyin Bodhisattva.

She couldn't help but sigh, "Even cats know how to respect Buddha and worship gods. There are gods three feet above our heads. Cangzhou is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery."

"What cat?"

Yan Xia looked closely and felt that the figure looked familiar.

Take another look, huh?

Snow Lion?!

The cat was sleeping soundly, its four little pink paws were trembling slightly, I wonder what sweet dream it was having.

Well... Yan Xia saw that she was sleeping soundly, so she didn't disturb her. She continued to walk arm in arm with Jiang Banxia and took her to see the body.

The corpse was wrapped in a thick layer of lime mixed with sulfur powder. Several bundles of mugwort were tied around its neck, and three yellow talismans were stuffed in its mouth.

"Hurry up and help with the autopsy."

"??? I'm the God of Plague, not the God of Death!"

"That's better than my professional expertise. Please help me take a look. This corpse must have been resurrected by a spirit."

When Jiang Banxia heard about the resurrection of the dead, she finally restrained herself from punching him. She tore at the corpse twice and said in shock, "You've messed with this corpse so badly that you can't even recognize its original appearance. What can I see?"

"You can't talk to the dead?"

"What does it mean to talk to the dead?"

"It's about pulling a dead person up and questioning their remaining consciousness. It's similar to soul searching! The only difference is that soul searching requires the person to be alive, and this requires that the person must be dead."

Jiang Banxia was amused. "If there really is such a spell, I would definitely use it on you first after you die."

Yanxia also noticed that Jiang Banxia seemed to be really helpless.

But Jiang Banxia looked at the corpse and said, "Searching this body will definitely yield nothing, but this body is still useful."

Yan Xia warned, "This is a proper corpse that needs to be buried. Don't have any bad ideas."

"You still have such good intentions?"

Jiang Banxia was suspicious for a moment, then said, "If we could borrow Roaring Heaven Dog from Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun in Guanjiangkou, the Heavenly Dog would have a keen nose. Just by sniffing the body, it would be able to locate the three souls and seven spirits that have been inside. Whether it's the original body or the one who took over."

Erlang God?

Yanxia felt that Jiang Banxia really looked up to her...

She said faintly, "I don't have such connections."

Jiang Banxia continued, "In the underworld, there is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. He has a divine beast at his knees called the Di Ting Beast. It can discern all things, hear the vast expanse of space, and understand the human heart. If you can place this corpse before him and take a look, Di Ting will be able to help you find clues to the three souls and seven spirits."

This is embarrassing for her...

Roaring Sky Dog, Di Ting Beast, these mythical beasts are of higher rank than her, An Yanxia.

She said sadly, "I think I'll just go and be a divine beast under Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's knees."

Jiang Banxia smiled happily, "I think that's fine too!"

"Pah! You still have to work hard to make ends meet."

"No, I think if you are willing to become a divine beast, no matter which Bodhisattva or True Lord you are, you will be tempted!"

"Hey, I have a mouthful of iron and copper teeth, and I'm not born to be a freeloader. I think you are good at talking, Envoy Jiang. You will definitely be popular if you become a divine beast."

"Oh! A gentleman does not accept food given out of pity!"

Yanxia took out three taels of silver, which attracted Jiang Banxia so much that she couldn't turn her eyes away.

"Hey! Come and eat!"

"Okay, thank you, sir..."

Jiang Banxia happily accepted the reward from the dog owner.

Yan Xia was looking at the corpses on the ground and was worried. Divine beasts, divine beasts...wait,

She turned her gaze and looked at the sleeping snow lion.

——It seems that she also has a divine beast at home.

Dong Huang suddenly received a jade talisman: Chapter 187 [Who has the elixir of immortality? Give me some!]

At midnight, the moon is high in the sky.

Zhenyuanfang, Danxiangyuan.

In this night, only Danxiang Garden is hung with red lights, and inside it is full of young men and women, and a world of flowers and brocade.

The huge city of Cangzhou, with its dancing pavilions, singing halls, willow alleys and flowery streets, is known as "the place where the embroidered mandarin ducks roll over the red waves and fairies sniff the elixir".

In front is Honglang Tower and behind is Danxiang Garden.

In a compartment, a black cat nimbly jumped through the crack of the door and looked inside.

There were a man and a woman in the room: the man wore a bronze mask, and dressed in coarse linen clothes with wolf fur sewn on both sides of the collar. Although he was sitting on a small table, he was holding a staff with three sections of tiger bones in his hand, like a priest from a primitive tribe.

The woman was extremely charming, wearing a thin gauze dress made of feather-like gauze, which could be seen clearly from four or five steps away - she was not wearing anything underneath.

The black cat rolled its eyes smartly and said, "My body has been stolen. You must give me an explanation."

The priest said, "The dead are easy to find. Just find another one."

The black cat said, "That's different."

The priest said, "What's the difference? They are all dead."

"I said it's different, and it's different!" Black Cat turned to look at the woman and asked, "Don't you have money? Hurry up and send someone to find where my body is."

The woman said, "Oh! Why would you miss an old lady's body? We have many sisters here. Which one do you like? I'll go and pick it out for you."

She smiled sweetly and said, "It's so easy to practice in Danxiang Garden!"

The black cat bared its teeth.

The enchanting woman was not annoyed at all. She picked up the black cat and wrapped it in her huge bag, asking curiously, "Why are you still unwilling? Could it be a man?"

Picking up the cat and looking at it, the woman laughed and said, "It's clearly a female demon."

The black cat broke free from the charming woman's hand, ignored them, jumped onto the table, and slapped the teapot to the ground.

With a snap, the teapot flew away, and the scalding hot tea instantly fell on the woman's slender feet.

It's not here to have fun!

The black cat said, "Don't talk nonsense. We must get our body back. Otherwise, we can't do this business anymore!"

The priest held the staff and shook the ground with a sound.

"I'm here to look for the elixir of life. Master Feiyun, if we want to get the elixir of life, we must have the help of this cat."

Feiyunfangzhu, the enchanting woman, rolled her eyes at the priest's lack of understanding and said, "You didn't say you wouldn't help her."

"But I think her body has probably fallen into the hands of the City God's Mansion."

Feiyun said, "During the daytime, I saw ghost soldiers patrolling Luo'anfang, and there were also wandering gods guarding it day and night. The City God was frightened by the cowards who came from the south last time. Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years. They must have stolen the body."

When the black cat heard this, he immediately became angry.

Tangtang City God’s Mansion, actually stole an old lady’s corpse.

This is too shameless!!!

The priest asked, "Are we going to attack the City God's Mansion?"

"What are you thinking? Although the City God's Mansion is a group of insects and does not look like a human. But the City God's Mansion is hidden in the Dharma Realm. How can we, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, break into it?" Feiyunfangzhu smiled and said:

"But if they can steal, then we can't?"

The priest was silent for a moment, then said, "I will send two wolf ghosts to the City God's Mansion to carry the body out."

The black cat said cautiously, "Is it reliable? Don't damage my body. If you do, there's no business talk."
