What kind of Journey to the West is this?

The priest clenched his staff and said calmly, "It's no more troublesome than taking a shit in the toilet."

....................

Leaping out of Danxiang Garden, the black cat climbed over the eaves and walls and soon returned to the Li family residence in Luoanfang.

It was already the middle of the night, the mourning hall had been cleared, and the coffin was carried by filial sons and grandsons to a grave outside the city for burial.

Seeing that the house was empty, the black cat silently jumped down from the wall, but saw that the window of a wing room was not closed, and the little daughter of the Li family was lying on the window in a daze.

It was late, but the moon had not yet set.

A little moonlight spread into the yard, and I could barely see things.

Children are always very sharp-eyed and can see things that adults cannot. When the little girl saw the black cat, she whispered, "Mimi."

"Meow."

The black cat jumped onto the windowsill and let the girl, who was about twelve or thirteen years old, stroke its back.

"Grandma is dead, right? Death means closing your eyes and never waking up again, right?"

"Ow~"

"Mimi, will mom and dad die too?"

"......"

"Mimi, there are so many stars in the sky, too many to count. Is that where people go when they die?"

"......"

Who knows.

The black cat didn't really want to answer this question. It looked up at the sparse stars in the sky and curled up in its little daughter's arms.

The soft arms reminded it of a little girl who had hugged it like this decades ago.

Fifty years, or seventy years.

Who knows.

Anyway, everything has dissipated with the wind, leaving only some broken memories, like silver fish prowling in the undercurrent under the ice, inconspicuous. Only when you glance at it occasionally when the sunlight sets can you see the scales gleaming with broken light.

Elixir of life... No wonder so many people are tirelessly seeking this thing.

................

This is still a human being!

People run to the City God Temple in the middle of the night to keep cats company!

Xue Shier woke up in disbelief, but he didn't expect that Tiangang would be the opposite - people don't torture people during the day, but people torture cats at night!

Yan Xia said embarrassedly, "We have encountered a difficult situation. Only with the help of the Great Immortal Xue Shi'er can we overcome the difficulties."

Xue Shi'er snorted, "Don't think that trying to please me will help!"

"The Great Immortal Snow Lion wants to sleep today! No one can stop him from sleeping!"

Snow Lion is in a bad mood when he wakes up.

boom!

Beside him, Jiang Banxia was stunned.

An Yanxia knelt down, hugged Xue Shier's thighs, and said seriously:

"This team can be without anyone, but not the Great Immortal Snow Lion! In my heart, there is only the Great Immortal Snow Lion, the sun! Now that darkness has swept across Cangzhou, without the Great Immortal Snow Lion's help, the people of Cangzhou are in dire straits. Even the Plague God from heaven would be hesitant to shed crocodile tears."

Jiang Banxia yelled, "Don't represent me!"

Xue Shi'er was also tickled, and he ruffled the girl's hair, saying with high morale, "Then this great immortal will save the people from their misfortune right now!"

"Tell me quickly, what's the matter?"

Well, that's enough. Jiang Banxia was also convinced.

Yanxia took Xue Shier's hand and looked at the corpse, saying, "Do you see anything wrong?"

Xue Shier took one look at the corpse, especially the broken neck and the lime-covered body, and immediately became angry and said, "Damn murderer! Not only did they kill the person, they even tortured the corpse!"

An Yanxia: “….”

Donghuang suddenly sent a jade talisman: Chapter 188 [Dew turns to frost, moon falls into smoke]

"Do you smell it?"

"It seems like, um... like the smell of an old man."

Yan Xia wondered, "What does the old man smell like?"

Xue Shi'er thought for a moment and looked at An Yanxia, "It's that faint musty smell that comes from old age. I need to look carefully for it."

After saying that, Xue Shier took up his stance and pressed his fingers on the corpse's brow.

He looks like a supernatural being, very similar to the fortune-telling charlatans of later generations.

Jiang Banxia was skeptical and asked in a low voice, "Will this work?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Shier suddenly said, "Found it."

The speed was quite fast, and Jiang Banxia shut his mouth instantly.

After placing the corpse, Xue Shier followed the smell and left the City God Temple.

It was already late, and the road was dark. We also had to hide from the patrolling soldiers in the city, which was very troublesome.

An Yanxia climbed up the wall and jumped onto the roof of someone's house in a few steps. She smiled and looked at Jiang Banxia who was climbing the wall in a mess.

The girl had no physical training and it was very difficult for her to climb up the wall. The wind made her butt feel cold.

Then I heard her say angrily: "Aren't we here to arrest someone? Why do we act like thieves?"

Yan Xia laughed and said, "If we use our magic power, won't we alert the enemy?"

"You can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against a thief for a thousand days?"

"Indeed, the main reason is to see you make a fool of yourself."

"Damn it!"

Yanxia gathered her strength and pulled Jiang Banxia onto the roof, where she saw Xue Shier standing on the eaves with carved dragons, staring at the moon with his eyes wide open.

Xue Shi'er turned to look at the two playing and said, "They're not far away."

We have arrived at Luoanfang.

A guess suddenly arose in Yanxia's mind.

Could it be that the murderer who took over Old Lady Li's body is hiding in the Li family compound?

Dark under the light?

Just as she expected, the three of them wandered around in the night and actually arrived outside the Li family's house.

At this moment, the Li brothers who lived in the house should have been preparing to carry the coffin for burial and were not in the city. But this did not prevent the door from being closed.

The Li family was indeed quite wealthy. Not only was their house large and the walls high, but even the doors were painted red and carved with door gods.

On the red-painted wooden door are images of the two door gods Shentu and Yulei, wearing battle robes and holding golden hammers.

If any ignorant goblin or ghost tries to break in by force, it will be hit on the head by this golden hammer.

Yan Xia didn't intend to force her way in, so she said, "Let's climb over the wall and go in."

Jiang Banxia swallowed his saliva as he looked at the high wall. It was at least ten feet high!

Not to mention how painful it is to fall down.

At this height, it doesn't look like she can climb up.

Her scalp tingled, and she whispered, "Why don't we just go in with Tengyun."

Yan Xia said, "It's not possible. There are gate gods guarding it. I went out temporarily and didn't bring my official seal. If Teng Yun really goes in, I'm afraid there will be a fight."

"Fighting is fine, but making a noise might alarm the monk inside."

Jiang Banxia didn't bring the official seal either.

She just thought she was out for fun today and never thought it would involve all these things.

But if she were to really climb with her bare hands, it would probably cause even bigger trouble.

She said, "How about trying the wall-walking technique?"

Yanxia didn't know how to do that, so she looked at Xueshier, who also shook his head.

The art of walking through walls is a minor folk trick. Neither the Xuanyuan Great Elixir Technique nor the knowledge she plagiarized talks about this kind of thing.

Those who use this kind of magic are generally not serious people. Most of them are sorcerers, monsters, swindlers or even thieves and flower thieves.

I don’t know why Jiang Banxia learned this kind of magic.

Jiang Banxia scratched his head and said, "The wall-walking technique is quite easy to learn. It actually has the same origin as the Five Elements Escape Technique. I'll show you a few times and you'll probably be able to get the hang of it."

Yan Xia asked curiously, "Five Elements Escape Technique? The kind of Escape Technique like Qimen Dunjia?"

She began to imagine Tuxingsun and the like, and after learning how to do so, she could drill around in the soil.

Or maybe something a little more fantasy-y, shouting "Fire Escape Technique - Super Big Big Fireball" and releasing a nuclear explosion or something like that.

Jiang Banxia was so choked by her bizarre ideas that she couldn't help coughing and said, "It's not that great."

"The so-called Five Elements Escape Technique is actually a type of seclusion technique, a way to avoid disasters. For example, Wood Escape can avoid wind disasters, and Fire Escape can avoid fire. The Five Elements Escape Technique is specifically designed to avoid wind, fire, drowning, sword attacks, and separation of the body and soul."

"There are more powerful escape techniques, such as the Three Elements Escape and the Nine Palaces Escape, but I don't know them. I only know half of the Earth Escape in the Five Elements Escape."

When Yanxia heard it was about avoiding disasters, her interest waned a little, but she also praised, "That's pretty impressive too."

It's a pity that he doesn't have the Smoke Escape Technique. Otherwise, if Monkey Brother had known a Smoke Escape Technique, his eyes might not have been damaged by the smoke.

Jiang Banxia pinched her fingers and demonstrated to them the art of walking through walls.

"The key to wall-walking is sincerity. If you believe, it works. If you don't believe, it won't work."

This reminded Yanxia of a puppet animation she had seen before, called The Taoist Priest of Laoshan.

The Taoist priest who returned from seeking immortality also had the skill of walking through walls. Later, when he tried to steal something, his magic failed and he hit his head and got a big bump.

Jiang Banxia looked at the wall and bumped into it.

boom!

"Oh!"

Crisp. A good start is obvious from the first listen.

As expected, this Plague God is not sincere...

Yanxia was squatting on the side with Xueshier, eating melon seeds.

Jiang Banxia cried out in pain, then said awkwardly, "Usually, it takes me two tries to get it done."

Xue Shier and An Yanxia nodded while eating melon seeds.

He made another hand gesture and slammed his head into the wall. It was like salt dissolving in water. His entire body went through the wall, just like a model...

The door god over there didn't move at all and didn't notice anyone coming into the yard.

Yanxia was so frightened that she dropped her melon seeds.

She touched her forehead and asked Xue Shi'er, "Why don't you try it first?"

Xue Shier mustered up the courage to nod.

boom!

boom!

boom!

This wall-walking technique is a test of one's stubbornness to some extent...

Snow Lion tried four times and passed through the wall with tears in his eyes.

Seeing that it could be done, Yanxia gained confidence and looked at the wall with her fingers.
