Chapter 67: The Violent Death of Tonghuan(1/2)
Three feet of bluestone alley, a wisp of wind blowing through the hall.
Yongqing Lane.
Yiqian Mansion.
Under the painting of the Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasties and in front of the memorial tablet of Yan Zhen, incense was burning faintly throughout the hall.
The Taoist priest Yi Qian sits with his five hearts facing the sky, seeing the Qing Yang of the Qing Dynasty, dispelling the gloom accumulated in his heart, and cultivating the way of unity between heaven and man.
"Da da da……"
There was a faint sound of footsteps.
——It’s Taoist Miaozhan.
He was originally a wandering Taoist priest. After the Wujia Great Demon in Changxing City caused trouble, he was impressed by the Taoist teachings of Yiqian Taoist priests and was invited to become the master of Guanjing of Yiqian Taoist priests.
"Master, Master Gongquan of Jianyi Pavilion was intercepted and killed. He broke off his arm and fled into the deep forest without a trace."
Taoist Miao Zhan approached and revealed shocking news.
"The opportunity of the Immortal Family is wonderful, but after all, some people still can't sit still and are angry."
Taoist priest Yiqian opened his eyes, with an expected expression on his face, and said:
"Jian Yige's sword control skills are famous in Jizhou, and Gong Quan Lao Dao became famous at a young age! It's not easy to kill him! I'm afraid the attackers suffered a lot of losses, right?"
"The master of the temple had a clever plan. The attackers suffered numerous casualties. There were four corpses at the scene alone." Taoist Miao Zhan replied.
"What a pool of muddy water!" Taoist Priest Yigan took a long breath and shook his head.
"Master, is it true that Jian Yige won the immortal fate?" Taoist Miao Zhan asked.
"Are you tempted?"
"It would be a lie to say that you are not tempted by the opportunity of the Immortal Family."
Taoist Miao Zhan is also honest.
When he came to report, he did not mention the tragic situation of the attackers. Instead, he first said that Master Gongquan was seriously injured, and his words of encouragement were beyond words.
"As soon as the Xinghuan Mountain Palace Palace appeared, the master of Tonghuan Temple was killed. Even many villagers in Dutang Village died suddenly for no reason. Those who get this immortal fate can be said to be ruthless! Jian Yige is good at killing swords. This immortal If Yuan is really obtained by Jian Yi Pavilion, I am afraid that Old Dao Gongquan is probably a bait on the surface, so why should we add more blood debts? "
Taoist Yiqian's words were ambiguous and without any criticism, but the meaning of his words made Taoist Miaozhan fall into silence.
"Rather than thinking about the fate of immortality, fellow Taoist monks, it is better to think more about yourself." Taoist priest Yigan said again.
"...Why did the temple owner say this?"
"Opportunities of the Immortal Family are confusing to people. I'm afraid that evil demons and outsiders will seek and fail and kill indiscriminately to take advantage of that opportunity."
Taoist Miaozhan was horrified when he heard this.
Yes, as a local Taoist priest in Changxing City, the first person to arrive at the scene of the incident might be targeted.
"Guanzhu, what should we do?"
"Just kill a few clowns."
Taoist Yiqian's tone was calm, but his heart was heavy.
On the day of the Immortal Palace's banishment, as the first person to arrive at the scene, he had a very clear idea of the direction of the whole incident.
There are many traces remaining at the Tonghuan tomb site, but there are two main clues:
One is the yellow-skinned blood spilled on the ground;
The second is a few strands of fabric among the shrubs.
A Taoist priest immediately arrived at the scene, used the Chonglong Jade Talisman, summoned the Nose God, and followed him away.
As a result, when passing through Tonghuan Taoist Temple, they were surprised to find that the leader of Tonghuan Temple had been killed, and more villagers at the foot of the mountain died suddenly at the same time, unable to summon their souls.
The clues of Huang Pi Jing and blood came to an abrupt end at this point.
However, those few strands of cloth pointed to a precious horse that was fostered in a villager's home. After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that this was the mount of a Jianyi Pavilion disciple.
And that person has long since disappeared without a trace.
Who actually obtained the opportunity of the Immortal Family does not need to be elaborated at this point.
When the Taoist priest Yiqian found out this, he immediately stopped and returned home, concentrating on cultivation and not paying attention to foreign affairs.
However, even so, it may be extremely difficult to stay out of it.
…
…
The Taoist priest Yiqian was very worried.
As everyone knows, Mo Chuan, who used the incense as a mirror to catch a glimpse of this conversation, felt even heavier in his heart.
It turned out that after he sorted out the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon Taoist, he used the incense as a mirror to spy on the subsequent changes in Changxing City.
As a result, he never expected that he would hear about the sudden death of the Tonghuan Temple Master and even some villagers.
Could it be that the Heavenly Demon Taoist still has a legacy?
Under that tomb, is there another tomb?
The latecomers were afraid of leaking the news, so they killed the leader of Tonghuan Temple and some villagers?
Or is it that Jian Yige thought that the immortal fate had been obtained by his disciple, that is, the scholar Jian Xian, so he took the initiative to wipe his disciple's butt?
Or maybe this was... Huang Buyu's protector's doing?
Mo Chuan's face darkened.
At this moment, he thought of various possibilities.
As his thoughts were flowing, his mind suddenly moved, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the living room and escaped into Changxing City.
Appearing in Changxing City again, the city has lost its initial bleak appearance.
The discovery of the Immortal Palace on the top of Xinghuan Mountain attracted many people to seek immortality and ask questions.
As the saying goes:
After a great disaster, there will be blessings; after a great disaster, there will be great prosperity!
This may be a sign of the great prosperity of Changxing City.
Mo Chuan had no intention of sightseeing, and originally wanted to hire a carriage to go to Xinghuan Mountain, but when he arrived at the carriage and horse dealership, he found out that all the carriages in the city had been rented out.
I had no choice but to walk.
Fortunately, there are many idle people like him, so they are not eye-catching.
I accidentally met a few scholars on the road, and after some exchanges, I realized that what the monks saw as an immortal fate has become a source of wealth in the eyes of the world.
"The Taoist Priest doesn't know. Yesterday, someone found a fairy beast in the mountains and presented it to the magistrate. I heard that he was rewarded with a thousand gold coins! You see, most of these people are heading towards the fairy beast."
The fellow scholar pointed at the endless stream of pedestrians on the road, chatted, and was very excited.
"Fairy beast?"
Mo Chuan was greatly surprised. After careful questioning, he realized that it was a white deer whose body was as white as snow.
Also known as: Tianlu.
"Shu Yi Ji" once said: "A deer turns into a gray deer in a thousand years, a white deer in another five hundred years, and a black deer in another five hundred years."
This is auspiciousness from heaven!
I heard that the prefect of Changxing was overjoyed to have obtained this immortal beast. Not only did he reward the person who presented the beast, he also sent someone overnight to deliver the Shangrui White Deer to the imperial city.
As soon as this incident came out, it can be said that the palace palace appeared on the top of Xinghuan Mountain added another fire.
There is an endless stream of people going into the mountains to look for deer.
Mo Chuan gently shook his head when he heard this.
I'm afraid there is something wrong with the Changxing prefect. He offered zombies before and now he offers white deer.
Why, you can no longer be a critic and become a treacherous minister?
Or is this a sign of enlightenment or a change of people?
"Is Dutang Village ahead?"
A scholar who was traveling with him put up a pergola and looked out into the room, interrupting Mo Chuan's random thoughts.
He shook his head, no longer paying attention to the temple, raised his head, followed the scholar's pointer, and looked away.
From a distance, you can see the foot of the mountain, dotted with residential houses.
It can be said that the village is warm and far away, and the smoke is in the ruins.
After entering the village, the village was even more lively.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s seeking immortality and asking questions, or whether it’s searching for gold and making a fortune.
The influx of population has turned Dutang Village into a tourist attraction. It can be said that every family has become an inn and every household has become a restaurant.
To be continued...
