Chapter 55 54: Cause and Effect, Pure Taoist
Perhaps because he received more information, Chu Zhou's thinking became more open-minded. At a certain moment, he suddenly figured it out.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether Luo Gan, who has traveled alone for thousands of miles, is a one-horned ghost. As long as the one-horned ghost is disguised as a human being, then he can use the strategy of 'borrowing a knife to kill someone and driving out wolves and devouring tigers'.
For example, leading Elder Qiu of the Yunya Sword Sect and a group of sword hunters to the Zhao Mansion.
They are all real masters, and there are many great martial arts masters in the Tongmai Realm. As long as they see through the whereabouts of the One-Horned Ghost, they will definitely take action!
By then, regardless of whether he is Luo Gan or not, after being exposed, there will be no more one-horned ghost.
As for Chu Zhou, all he had to do was follow behind and take advantage. If the one-horned ghost escaped and his strength would be greatly reduced, he would be the fisherman who would benefit.
If the one-horned ghost hadn't escaped, he wouldn't even have had to take action.
As for how to guide?
Chu Zhou felt that he didn't even need to come forward, as long as he released some specious news.
This should be the best method. It is safe and effortless, and appears to be extremely resourceful. However, when this idea came up, Chu Zhou was instinctively resistant and disgusted.
This made him very confused. He felt that he didn't have a mental disorder. How could this happen?
But when he reflected on himself, he discovered that what he resisted was actually the involvement of outsiders in this revenge!
Yes, this is revenge!
Even if Master Xuanzhen treats them badly, hitting or scolding them, the grace of survival and the love of nurturing cannot be denied.
Besides, in that failed ghost exorcism ceremony, it was not just Xuanzhen Lao Dao who died, but also the original Chu Zhou.
He traveled through time and took over the original body and identity. Even if a cause and effect was formed, he had the obligation to avenge this with his own hands!
This may be what ordinary people call obsession, but this time, Chu Zhou felt that he should not borrow people under the guise!
Having made a decision in his heart, Chu Zhou immediately began to make arrangements. The first step was to find all the magic weapons used by Xuan Zhen to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits.
The easiest way to lure the One-Horned Ghost to reveal himself is to go to the Zhao Mansion, so even if it's just a pretense, these magical weapons must be put on display.
Then, the four junior brothers and Fan Zhong were all found. Now that we had a plan, there was no need to collect information.
At this point, it had been delayed for four days, and Zhao Yuanwai sent someone to urge him. Chu Zhou directly responded that he would go tomorrow.
It is worth mentioning that he had just made preparations, and before he set out, guests came to the door.
……
Xuanzhen Guan,
Living room,
Chu Zhou entered from the side door. When he saw the person, he paused slightly. While looking up and down, he asked: "I have seen the Taoist priest, but I don't know who he is?"
The person who came was about sixty years old, with a thin body and a gaunt appearance. He had a scattered beard under his chin and his hair was already gray, but his bun was meticulously combed.
He was wearing a green robe, which seemed to be made of very sophisticated materials, but it had not been washed for a long time, and it looked dusty, as if he had traveled for a long time.
Seeing Chu Zhou's arrival, he immediately stood up, saluted with one hand, and said: "I am a poor man. I came from Chaotian Temple. I have been traveling to Baisha City for several years. I want to stay at Xuanzhen Temple for a few nights. I also hope to see the owner." Yes! ”
"Wandering Taoist priest, are you placing orders?"
Chu Zhou murmured in a low voice, looking quite amused.
It is true that Xuanzhen Temple is a martial arts sect, but at the same time, Xuanzhen Temple is also a serious Taoist temple.
Although it occupies a small area, it is still private property, but it is registered in the Universiade Dynasty, filed with the government office, and has a nameplate in Daozhengsi Temple.
The old Taoist Xuanzhen is a real Taoist priest, the kind who has the right to teach, and Chu Zhou, Xu Cheng and Yi Huai, although they do not have Taoist titles, they are genuine Taoist priests.
Therefore, whether Chu Zhou inherited the Taoist temple or became the master of the temple, it was extremely smooth.
Even during the most difficult period for Xuanzhen Guan, no one made any fuss in this area. It was not that they didn't want to, but that Xuanzhen was cautious in doing things, leaving no opportunities to take advantage of.
However, although Xuanzhen Temple is a formal Taoist temple, there may not be many people who come to offer incense and pray, but there are still some.
But the person in front of me is really the first person to come here to place orders and stay.
Seeing that Chu Zhou didn't speak for a long time, the Taoist who claimed to be pure couldn't help but ask: "Is it inconvenient for the Taoist temple recently?"
The old Taoist's face became a little sad, and he said again: "I am really short of money during this trip, otherwise I can just go to Baisha City and find a hotel to rest."
Chu Zhou came back to his senses, took a deep look at the old Taoist, and suddenly smiled: "Haha, what are you talking about, Taoist Master? In fact, not long after I inherited the Taoist temple, this was the first time I encountered this order, which is quite a bit strange. Surprised, I didn’t react for a while.”
"Since the Taoist priest is here, how can I not agree?! The guest room is simple, please bear with me."
"It's good to have a place to stay."
"That's okay, Uncle Fan?"
"The old slave is here."
"Go and make arrangements. Clean a guest room, boil some hot water in the kitchen, and ask the Taoist Priest to take a bath and change clothes."
Having said this, Chu Zhou looked at the figure of the Taoist Qingjing again and said, "Take another set of my Taoist robes and give them to the Taoist Master."
"It can't be done, it really can't be done!"
"Nothing, it's just a piece of clothing. The Taoist priest's robe really needs to be starched."
"Well, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful."
"No problem, Taoist Priest, go wash up first."
"I'll take my leave now."
After exchanging pleasantries, Qingjing Lao Dao turned around and left, not forgetting to take his package before leaving, while Chu Zhou watched them leave from behind.
After a while, Fan Zhong left and came back, saying: "Master, everything has been arranged."
Chu Zhou nodded and asked, "What do you think?"
Fan Zhong shook his head: "I can't see through it, so I feel that this old Taoist is really a wandering Taoist priest."
Chu Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "He has martial arts. Although he can't tell how high it is, at least he has practiced it and followed a light and agile path. But then again, when he goes out to travel, he is It's normal to have martial arts, otherwise you won't be able to go far at all
I just hope that he has nothing to do with what happened in Baisha City. ”
After a pause, Chu Zhou smiled: "Anyway, I'll treat him to dinner tonight and I'll chat with him again."
……
It's said to be a chat, but actually it's just a test.
As a wandering Taoist priest, he must have been to many places and seen a lot of the world. Chu Zhou believed that he could find out a lot of useful information just by chatting.
However, he really didn't expect that before the meal started, Taoist Qingjing gave him a surprise.
Even though he was so gray during the day, he couldn't tell that at dinner time, he had already bathed and changed clothes. He came from a distance, wearing a long-sleeved broad robe with fluttering skirts. He had a strong figure and was unusually calm.
Coupled with his slender appearance, thin cheeks, gentle eyes, and meticulously styled hair, he has a fairy-like character and a high sense of truth.
Chu Zhou felt that he actually had some charm to attract the great immortals. The old master Xuanzhen was really weak in front of him!
Chu Zhou stopped talking, and the other brothers were almost dumbfounded.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
If he hadn't been so greedy when eating, he would probably be able to maintain this image better.
Chu Zhou waited until he was half full before starting a conversation with him, wanting to find out the details of the other person through words.
It's a pity that there is no details at all. The old Taoist really talked about it, telling what he saw and heard all the way from Chaotian Temple.
There are landscapes and wonders, humanities, weird things, folk customs, and we also talk about martial arts schools, secrets about martial arts, and anecdotes from the market...
It seems that there is no topic that he cannot pick up, and it is like telling a wonderful landscape travelogue, which instantly attracts everyone's attention.
As if to prove it, he even took out the travel notes he had written, one by one, one by one, and the various experiences he experienced at each place he visited were truly wonderful.
In the words of the old Taoist priest himself: He, the master gave him the Taoist name "Pure" because he hoped that he would be pure in desire and practice, but everything always went against his wishes!
Well, Chu Zhou had to admit that when he talked about it later, he suspected that he was too suspicious. Wasn't he just a wandering Taoist priest?
No matter what, the temptation ends here.
You can just live here if you have an order, and Xuan Zhen Guan is no less good at this one.
……
The next day,
Afternoon,
Zhao Mansion, backyard.
The Zhao family is truly wealthy, and even this house is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Not to mention the pavilions, pavilions, and rockery gardens, a small river was dug to surround it, and water was diverted from the Baisha River to create a sense of familiarity with small bridges and flowing water. It is really a generous move.
The courtyard of the second daughter of the Zhao family is located in the center. It is an attic in itself, with three floors, each with its own function.
But at this moment, in this courtyard, under the noon sun, dozens of people were ordered to circle around.
"You, you, you, yes, it's you. Go and help put the altar in place. Be careful not to mess up the magic weapon."
"And you, pull up the red line and surround the yard. Remember not to leave too much space."
"Yes, it only allows one person to come in and out. The road must pass through this way."
"And here, nail the magic weapon, hurry up, hurry up."
"This way, this way, the yellow talisman is posted."
"What about the things we have to prepare? Glutinous rice, yellow dog, black dog blood, incense ash, these must be prepared."
Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie had never seen such a battle before, so they didn't know what to do. However, Yi Huai, a veteran of all kinds, was commanding a group of servants and seemed overwhelmed.
It’s not really useful, but it’s really reassuring.
On the side, Zhao Yuanwai wiped the sweat from his head and said with some lingering fear: "Master Chu, Master Chu, is there really no problem this time?"
There were two people standing behind him, one was tall and strong, the other was short and fat, but they were both powerful and powerful. With their nostrils looking at each other, they were obviously two visceral martial arts masters from the Zhao family.
Chu Zhou glanced at these two people, then looked at Member Zhao and said, "Of course, there is a problem!"
"Ah, ah, what should we do?"
"How about you hire someone else?"
"No, no, no, Taoist Priest, it's not that I don't believe you. This is not, it's not, cough cough cough, caring will lead to chaos?"
"I know you will be confused if you care, but in this situation, you can only believe me, and if you believe me, don't talk nonsense."
Chu Zhou acted very forcefully, so forcefully that Zhao Yuanwai didn't know what to say. It seemed that this evil disaster had caused him to lose control.
But what Chu Zhou needs is this strength to create the atmosphere he needs.
On the attic, a curtain was slightly lifted, revealing a beautiful face that was both angry and happy, looking at the scene below with an eager expression.
How could this person be any less weak after being harmed by ghosts?
Chu Zhou saw all this and couldn't help but smile. He felt that he was more confident in this business.
Please read it and collect it!
