Chapter 144 Ghost Father’s Wonderful Journey
The turmoil caused by the White Bone Cave has come to an end for the time being. The White Bone Forest as the entrance and exit of the cave has disappeared, and the Jinwu Guards have left Cangshan Town one after another. After all, the towns they guard are different.
Dong-dong-dong.
Cangshan Town beats gongs and drums to hold a celebration called [Luzu Sacrifice].
The taboo influence of the White Bone Lady is deeply rooted in people's hearts. As for the people's tampered memories, the Lu Zu Festival has lasted for more than three hundred years.
Groups of people walked on stilts and dressed up as various immortals. The leading immortal was Lu Dongbin, and the last one was Zhong Kui.
It attracted bursts of applause.
Wang Xin stood in the sea of people with a dull face.
"Lu Zuji, is the incident about the Eight Immortals discussing Taoism true or false?"
He was slovenly, mumbling indistinctly, and had special scars that looked like they were burned. , others gave way.
Wang Xin arrived at Cangshan Town after traveling for more than ten days.
His memory was changed due to taboos, but the whims caused by internal energy kept telling him that everything related to the Eight Immortals' Theory of Taoism was fabricated out of thin air.
It deeply affected Tao Xin.
Wang Xin covered his head in pain, his skin turned red, and his internal energy was out of control.
By the time he realized something was wrong with him, it was too late to sort out his inner strength, so he could only stumble out of the city.
Stay as far away from the public as possible to prevent internal violence from harming innocent people.
"Who would have thought that a whim would make me go crazy."
Wang Xin looked helpless.
Just when he was about to walk out of the city gate, he suddenly heard someone talking about Lu Zu. He couldn't help but groaned, and thick smoke billowed from his mouth and nose.
Wang Xin closed his eyes and suppressed distracting thoughts, and his consciousness subconsciously scanned the source of the noise.
The source is a newly built temple, and craftsmen are carving the statue of Lu Zu in the main hall.
When he saw Lu Zu's appearance, his expression couldn't help but be startled. The statue was actually 30% similar to Shen Lian.
Wang Xin fell into a daze, and the throbbing in Tao's heart gradually calmed down.
After learning that Lu Dongbin was involved in Shen Lian, he felt that it was natural, and the tendency of his inner strength to go crazy was gone.
Immediately there was a surge of internal energy, and it was a matter of course to set foot in the second realm of Yuan Dan.
Wang Xin stabilized his cultivation and unknowingly had been standing in the corner for a day and a night.
He had a clear mind, tied up his scattered hair with a hairpin, and arranged his clothes, intending to watch the statue of Lu Zu at close range.
"Brother Wang, when did you come to Cangshan Town?"
Wang Xin turned around and saw Shen Lian standing in front of the temple with a complicated expression, his appearance still the same The peculiar remnant remains, with half a finger of dragon horn protruding from the forehead, and dark golden eyes.
“I just arrived...not long ago.”
"I'll go back to Yanliang Town first. The Luzu Temple is... well, that's all. If you come into contact with the Bone Cave in the future, you will naturally understand."
The corners of Shen Lian's mouth twitched and he hurriedly said goodbye to Wang Xin and disappeared. .
He actually understood that it was caused by Madam Bones' taboo. Fortunately, the Eight Immortals had most likely died within a thousand years.
Otherwise Lu Dongbin would not be allowed to come to look for trouble.
"Actually, Lu Zu and I are not particularly similar. If we are not acquaintances, well, we should just think that we are similar in appearance but not in spirit."
"What the hell is this?"
Little did Shen Lian know that the court had already recognized him as the reincarnation of Lu Zu.
"Go home and recuperate. I estimate that the pill fruits on the banyan tree will be ripe soon. I haven't seen the starling for more than half a month. Is it possible that he is in Yanliang Town."
Shen Lian's eyes were full of eagerness. , except for the inexplicable involvement of Lu Zu in this Eight Immortals discussion, the harvest far exceeded that of Gaolaozhuang and Bibotan.
There are thirty-five volumes of inner alchemy secrets given by Ma Wanhu.
That's right, there were thirty-five volumes of inner alchemy secrets, plus sixty or seventy large pills from the seventh level of Dao Ying, which almost emptied Ma Wanhu's storage bag.
"Promoting to the seventh realm of Dao Ying is a long shot, but the three transformations of the Zhuang Technique will definitely work."
Shen Lian couldn't help but think of what Ma Wanhu explained.
"Nujiang..."
The original work did not describe much about Chen Guangrui, and the impression I had was that the experience was very miserable.
After Chen Guangrui became the top scholar in high school, he took his wife to Hongzhou to take office. However, he was killed by water thieves on the way and his body was thrown into the river. His wife became the water thieves' wife.
It is said that Tang Monk is a posthumous son, but it is difficult to say whether Chen Guangrui is happy to be a father.
The subsequent development was even more bizarre.
No one paid attention to Chen Guangrui's case until Tang Seng grew up and met his mother. After learning the truth, he reported it to the officials to eliminate the water thieves.
What Shen Lian couldn't understand the most was that Chen Guangrui had been dead for more than ten years, and the Dragon King of Nujiang suddenly jumped out.
The Dragon King of Nujiang used an unknown method to resurrect Chen Guangrui on the grounds that Chen Guangrui had rescued the carp he transformed into in the early years.
Outrageous.
The monkey grandson wanted to resurrect the monkey monkey grandson, but he went all the way to the underworld to no avail. How did you, the Dragon King of Nujiang, do it?
Chen Guangrui is afraid that the body is all rotten, right?
Shen Lian was a little embarrassed. According to common sense, Chen Guangrui's plot seemed to not collapse before Monk Tang went west.
But since Ma Wanhu mentioned Xuanzang and the cave hidden under the river.
Could it be that the Nujiang Dragon King has been causing trouble for thousands of years?
"The Nujiang River is related to Jin Chanzi. Maybe we can find clues to the meat of Renren Tang Monk. I hope the danger level in the cave will not be too high."
Shen Lian pinched the bridge of his nose. Recently, he was looking for Miao Yuanli reviewed the files of the "Nujiang Case".
On the surface, it is a case of demonic cannibalism in which boys and girls disappeared inexplicably. However, it has not been solved for 20 or 30 years, and the scale has become more and more serious, so it was handed over to Ma Wanhu for handling.
Ma Wanhu had previously searched for monsters in the Nujiang area.
There was no smell of demons, so I guessed that there might be an unknown cave at the bottom of the river. "Usually the Nujiang case occurs in June or July at the beginning of the year, so there is plenty of time."
Shen Lian was galloping, covering two to three hundred miles in just one day and one month.
Yanliang Town is calm and peaceful, and the impact of the Eight Immortals' Discussion is not obvious. There are just a few more clay figurines of Lu Dongbin on the stalls in the streets and alleys.
Shen Lian breathed a sigh of relief. There should be no Temple of the Eight Immortals outside Yanshan Mountain.
He walked into the pawn shop and immediately noticed the embarrassed myna parked on the wall of the courtyard. The latter rolled his eyes and his feathers were extremely messy.
The branches of the banyan tree are full of red fruits, which is not surprising in the autumn harvest season.
"Bago, please go back to Yanliang Town and say something."
"Ah~"
Starling looked exhausted, spread his wings and plunged into the branch tree hole leading to Gao Laozhuang.
Shen Lian raised his eyebrows and found that there was another branch in the courtyard at some point. The trunk was grayish white, somewhat like bones.
"No way?"
[Banyan tree branches]
[It is formed by dividing the banyan tree after absorbing a large number of bones, and its roots are connected to the mass graves. 】
"It is indeed the teleportation tree of the White Bone Cave, there is no exception."
Shen Lian really couldn't think of any idea of exploration, so he intervened in the Eight Immortals' Discussion, which had already offended Mrs. White Bones to death.
Doing door-to-door delivery is absolutely life-threatening.
Shen Lian moved a huge boulder to block the tree hole, and saw a faint resentment remaining at the entrance of the hole. "Is it possible that a ghost went in and out of the tree hole?"
He felt a thump in his heart, and there was no one in the pawn shop. Damn it.
Shen Lian hurried to Gao Laozhuang.
The ghost pawn shop is in a mess, and most of the building has sunk into the ground. It can be seen from the traces that it was probably caused by the ghost father going crazy.
The nearby shops were also damaged. Grandma Liu from the noodle shop next door almost lost her soul. Now she is recuperating in the shop with the doors and windows closed.
“What’s going on?”
Shen Lian was slightly worried.
There was still no ghost father or ghost mother in the ghost pawn shop, and all the clerks were almost wiped out. Only the cotton-wool ghost was left shivering and hiding on the second floor.
"Fugui, come out!"
"The young master's family..."
The cotton-wool ghost climbed out of the window and quickly explained: "The young master's family has nothing to do with me. It's the shopkeeper's sudden decision. The riot, he kept repeating your name, almost razing the shop to the ground."
Shen Lian immediately realized that it was probably also caused by Mrs. Bones' taboo.
The taboo caused Ghost Dad to temporarily lose his memory about Shen Lian, causing Ghost Dad to lose control.
"Has Bago been here?"
"In fact, the shopkeeper woke up not long after, but became extremely uneasy, and his exposed resentment turned Yongcui Street upside down."
Cotton Ghost looked around cautiously and added: "The shopkeeper left Gao Laozhuang after chatting with Master Ba for a while. You can't ask me the details, I really don't know."
"Okay. .”
Shen Lian waited in the courtyard for a long time for Myna to return from a feast.
"Master Ba, where is the ghost father."
"Ah~ the pawn shop is not running well, and the shopkeeper went out to be an apprentice~"
"Did you send him to the Bone Cave?"
Shen Lian took a breath of cold air, but thinking about it, no matter who entered or exited the teleportation tree hole, he would be able to detect it immediately.
The only exception is Starling, which can be seen to be the one who took Ghost Father and his wife to the Bone Cave.
"Ah~ Ghost Dad has returned from his studies, and it will be just around the corner for you and me to dominate Gao Laozhuang!"
Shen Lian shook his head, Ghost Dad's ability to follow his words is indeed suitable for White Bone Cave, since Bago has returned safely In Yanliang Town, Ghost Father and Ghost Mother have successfully established themselves in the Bone Cave.
Myna sighed repeatedly and combed his feathers distressedly.
In fact, the trip to the White Bone Cave was initiated by Ghost Dad. Ghost Dad’s spiritual intelligence is shallow and his character is inherently stubborn.
The ghost father discovered that Shen Lian's memory had been tampered with in his mind, and he tried his best to fight against Madam Bones' taboo, but felt powerless afterwards.
The way he expresses his emotions is very simple, that is, he keeps staring at the myna.
Wherever Bage flew to Gao Laozhuang, Ghost Dad followed closely.
No way.
The banquet for Gao Laozhuang to recruit disciples was at least twenty years away, so the three ghosts and gods simply started something with the ghost father in the White Bone Cave.
Fortunately, the time came when the Bone Cave came to Cangshan Town, so they were relatively safe.
“The image of Ghost Daddy with a pig head is a bit awkward in the White Bone Cave, but it is not difficult to integrate into the cave, and you can even get the respect of Mrs. White Bones.”
“Damn it, if Ghost Daddy is like that in the future Let’s talk about it if we can’t escape.”
“Ksitigarbha has been promoted to the fifth level, and his eyesight is enough to kill seven in and out of the White Bone Cave. He may be able to deal with the unparalleled demons who have practiced Taoism for thousands of years.”
Shen Lian signaled the cotton wool ghost to stay in the shop, and then went back to Yanliang Town.
After a lot of work, he harvested more than 400 corpse ghost fruits from the branches of the banyan tree, and the other special pill fruits are still in the process of being conceived.
【Ghost Fruit】
【Grown from the banyan tree, the pulp is useless. After the core is ground into powder, it can be used to temper the white bone magic weapon and promote life. 】
“With such abundant resources, it’s time for the Corpse Demon Scabbard to be reborn.”
