Just let Lin Jiu continue talking, not to mention that Lin Jiu did send back a body from Longhushan. From this point of view, Lin Jiu was also kind to Longhushan.
But what Tianshi Zhao still doesn't understand is why Lin Jiu wants to slander their Tianshi. Although it is clear that the Patriarch has ascended into immortality, it is always said that the Patriarch is not completely dead, and his body is still left on the ancient battlefield.
In the hearts of their disciples of all generations, the Patriarch is simply a god-like existence. Now it is said that the ancestor did not become immortal, but left a body. How can people believe this?
Of course, Tianshi Zhao did not think it was a shame for the Patriarch to leave his body.
In fact, if the ancestor's body really exists, bringing it back to the mountain will improve the luck of the entire Longhu Mountain. This is a good thing for Longhu Mountain!
But it was hard for Zhao Tianshi to believe that the ancestor who had been immortalized for more than 300 years according to word of mouth did not become immortal in the end, but instead became a corpse full of evil spirits. Three hundred years of inheritance cannot be changed by Lin Jiu with a word or a few ghost coins.
So Zhao Tianshi looked disapproving, pointed to the yard, and continued:
"Did you see any suspicious people around the Taoist temple?"
The little Taoist priest shook his head and said:
"I didn't see it. There was not a single tourist in the guest room of the Taoist temple today. I had already walked around outside the Taoist temple when I came here, and I didn't see anyone suspicious."
"But..."
"I saw a black cat with nine tails."
"I originally wanted to carry it into the Taoist temple, but the cat ran too fast. As soon as I got closer, it disappeared in a swoosh. My eyes couldn't keep up with its speed!"
"A black cat with nine tails?" Zhao Tianshi frowned, "A civet cat with nine tails?"
"No way?"
"It is said that the nine-tailed civet is a creature of the underworld. How could it appear here..."
"Are you sure it's the black cat with nine tails?"
The little Taoist priest nodded, his eyes extremely firm, showing no sign of lying.
After Zhao Tianshi pondered for a moment, he looked up at the Ming coins still falling in the sky, full of doubts.
"How could a cat from the underworld come to the earth?"
"These ghost coins...could it be that the nine-tailed civet cat got them?"
"Impossible. If these are really done by people from that inn, they can't have anyone raising pets from the underworld!"
"Raising a pet from the underworld is a method used by a peerless expert to tame the pet from the underworld. Otherwise, one's soul will be sucked by the nine-tailed civet cat."
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible."
After speaking, Zhao Tianshi glanced at the courtyard. At this time, a thick layer of Hades coins had accumulated in the yard. He shook his head helplessly and said:
"Ask someone to clean the yard tomorrow, otherwise it would be bad if tourists come up the mountain and see it."
The little Taoist priest nodded, then looked at the Ming coins still falling in the sky, and couldn't help but feel a headache.
I don’t know who spread the news and caused them so much trouble.
At this time, not only did this happen in Longhu Mountain, but Emei Mountain, Kongtong Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, and Qingcheng Mountain also began to rain down coins. The same words as Longhu Mountain are also written on the Ming coins:
【Yin Yang Inn】
【Fengmen Village, Luocheng City】
[On the fourteenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, from Yin hour to Xu hour, come and collect the body of the ancestor of your sect]
[Don’t pick up too early, don’t wait after the due date! 】
[Those who hold this ghost coin, please go to Yin Yang Inn to welcome the corpse back to the mountain]
However, like Zhao Tianshi, almost no one believed that their ancestor would suddenly appear and reappear in the form of a corpse. Everyone just regarded this as a prank with ulterior motives.
However, what surprised the people of each sect was that that night, they all saw a black cat with nine tails. Some people also recognized that this was the nine-tailed civet cat from the underworld. But no one knew that this nine-tailed civet was actually the ghost pet of Yin Yang Inn, and was also Zhang Hao's messenger who sent corpse letters to these sects.
It was not until three days later that Tianshi Zhao from Longhu Mountain learned that Emei Mountain, Kongtong Mountain, Kunlun Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain had also experienced a rain of ghost coins like their Longhu Mountain, and had seen a nine-tailed civet cat. Feeling that something is not right.
However, when the five major sects were suspicious, there was suddenly no movement in Wudang Mountain, no news at all, as if nothing happened.
Therefore, Zhao Tianshi from Longhu Mountain decided to pay a visit in person. At this time, he was walking halfway up Wudang Mountain. In another hour, he would be able to climb to the top of the mountain and meet the master of Wudang, Daochong Zhenren.
Zhao Tianshi's mind was filled with things about the nine-tailed civet cat, so he didn't find anything unusual after walking for so long. It wasn't until two tourists came down the mountain and heard their discussion that they realized something was wrong.
"Hey, I came all the way here by train just to go to Wudang Mountain. I didn't expect that they closed the door and thanked guests!"
"Yeah, it was a waste of time. I finally took two days off, but this time it was completely ruined!"
"What a bad luck..."
After Zhao Tianshi heard this, he couldn't help frowning and thinking secretly.
Close your mind?
What happened to Wudang Mountain?
Why is it closed?
Could it be that their leader Daochong...
Zhao Tianshi couldn't help but shook his head slightly, and then whispered softly:
"Coming today...shouldn't it be just in time for the funeral?" Then he shook his head again and was about to continue on his way.
Suddenly, Tianshi Zhao stopped and stood blankly in the middle of the path. He looked up at the Wudang Mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, and his eyes widened in shock.
"This cloud?"
"Generally, only mountains with fairy spirit will have this kind of cloud and mist."
"When did Wudang Mountain have such good luck?"
Just now I thought it might be the funeral of Master Dao Chong, but now seeing such good luck in Wudang Mountain, Zhao Tianshi couldn't help but feel a little surprised. This was completely different from what he expected!
He also thought that Master Daochong failed to break through the realm in the end, so his life span was exhausted and he went west.
Now it seems that I have thought too much.
This kind of luck...
Could it be that Master Daochong had a breakthrough?
Although he has been successfully promoted, Wudang Mountain's huge and profound destiny does not seem to come from this alone! Zhao Tianshi secretly speculated in his heart.
Something big must happen in Wudang Mountain! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up his pace and hurried towards Wudang Mountain.
Arriving in front of the Taoist temple, as expected, I saw the four characters "Closed today" written on the door.
Tianshi Zhao knocked on the door lightly and announced his door: "I am Tianshi Zhao from Longhu Mountain, and I am here to visit the master of your sect, Master Daochong."
Before he finished speaking, the gate of the Taoist temple opened with a creak, and a little Taoist priest stuck his head out, looked Zhao Tianshi up and down, and then said: "Zhao Tianshi, today Wudang Mountain is holding a ceremony for the ancestor to return to the mountain, and the master is very busy. Please come back another day.”
As soon as the little Taoist priest finished speaking, he was about to close the door. Master Zhao Tianshi had quick eyesight and quickly stopped him and asked: "Fellow Taoist, did you just say that the ancestor is back? Are you still holding sacrificial ceremonies for the ancestor?"
Hearing this, the little Taoist priest looked at Zhao Tianshi in fear, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Zhao Tianshi, you really offend me by calling me Taoist friend. But the Patriarch has indeed returned, and we will hold a sacrificial ceremony tonight. Everyone is preparing now, After three hours, the sacrificial ceremony will begin.”
Tianshi Zhao nodded, but his heart was full of doubts.
Is it such a coincidence? He had also heard news about the Patriarch in the past few days. He saw it from a ghost coin. He originally thought it was a joke. Could it be that the Patriarch of Wudang Mountain is really back?
He shook his head, full of doubts in his heart, but the main reason for coming here this time was about Mingbiyu. So, he said sincerely: "Fellow Taoist, I do have something urgent to see the head of your family. This is not only a matter for me, Longhu Mountain, but also involves the five major sects including Emei, Kongtong, Kunlun, and Qingcheng. . I hope fellow Taoist can inform Master Daochong that I really have something urgent to see him.”
The little Taoist priest looked embarrassed, but in the end he nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go and report. Please wait here for the Master."
Zhao Tianshi smiled and nodded, and then glanced inside the Taoist temple, trying to find whether Wudang Mountain had also encountered traces of the rain of coins. However, he found no trace of paper money. He couldn't help but wonder to himself, could it be that he had checked too few places, or that Wudang Mountain had been cleaned so thoroughly that not even a ghost coin was left?
At this time, Zhang Qilin was packing his luggage.
After resting in Wudang Mountain for a few days, he received Zhang Hao's next mission, preparing to drive the corpse to Longhu Mountain as soon as it got dark. He was not interested in the sacrificial rituals of Wudang Mountain.
Zhang Qilin put on his black cloak again, glanced at the time, and said softly: "Today the body is raised, it's time to make some preparations." After that, he walked towards the ancestral hall in Wudang Mountain.
Before raising the corpse, he needs to re-attach the general talisman to the corpse and observe whether it changes color. If the color does not change, it means the corpse is fine; if the color changes, the evil spirit needs to be expelled and suppressed again.
As soon as he went out, Zhang Qilin met Master Dao Chong who was walking in a hurry. Master Dao Chong also noticed him, so he came over and asked with a smile: "Master Walking, the Wudang sacrificial ceremony officially begins tonight. I hope you can help take a look. We may not have as much experience in dealing with corpses as you."< br>
Zhang Qilin glanced at Master Dao Chong indifferently, frowned slightly, and thought to himself: Stay to offer sacrifices? Zhang Hao only asked him to rest in Wudang Mountain and did not mention this matter. Moreover, the people at the inn are not just there to help.
So, he shook his head and said: "Master Daoxuan, where do you think my Yin Yang Inn is?"
Master Daoxuan was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking seriously for a moment, he quickly said: "It is naturally a mysterious place. The fact that Yin Yang Inn can have such a powerful walking master like you shows that the shopkeeper of the inn is an amazing person. Just like the people in the world It is a blessing for an ordinary person to meet such an extraordinary person.”
Zhang Qilin nodded slightly and continued to ask coldly: "Master Daoxuan, do you feel any benefit from the Patriarch's return to the mountain this time? If I read it correctly, you should be stronger now than you were two days ago. ”
Master Daoxuan looked at Zhang Qilin in astonishment, his eyes full of shock.
Since the Patriarch returned to the mountain, he has indeed become stronger, and compared with his previous self, he seems to have crossed the chasm.
Because he has stepped from the realm of half-location to the realm of exterior scenes.
This kind of improvement is usually difficult to see directly, unless someone stronger than him can detect it, or he can tell it himself.
However, Zhang Qilin had only been in contact with him for a few days, and he could actually see the changes in him!
Master Daoxuan nodded and sighed: "I didn't expect that the walking master would have such a vicious vision! The gap between the half-step of the exterior scene and the exterior scene is like a chasm. I have been pursuing the realm of exterior scene for a lifetime, but I never thought that the ancestor would return to the mountain. Finally, I found the opportunity again and was promoted to the outdoor scene! The benefits of the ancestor’s return to the mountain are actually more than I imagined.”
Zhang Qilin nodded slightly and then said: "So Master Daoxuan should understand that although the inn has business dealings with Wudang Mountain, you should be clear about the stakes. The inn only takes the merits of all the Taoist priests in Wudang Mountain for one year, but only Judging from your breakthrough, Wudang Mountain has already made a lot of money. In other words, you Wudang Mountain have already taken advantage. Now you don’t go to the inn to entrust the task, but you want the people from the inn to help you. Do you think it’s appropriate to hold a sacrificial ceremony? Or does Master Daoxuan think that the inn can help people casually? This would be too disrespectful to the inn.”
Immediately a drop of cold sweat broke out on Master Daoxuan's forehead.
The greatness of the inn can be seen from this walking master. This person has just entered the first grade, and he already feels so powerful that he can't breathe. There are three such people in the inn, and one of them is the shopkeeper. The employees are already so powerful, and the shopkeeper doesn’t even know how powerful they are.
He had also thought about this issue when he came to see Zhang Qilin before, but he did not expect that the people at Yin Yang Inn were so principled! I thought it was a casual favor, but I accidentally made Yin Yang Inn so uncomfortable. So, he smiled bitterly and apologized quickly: "I was rude. I didn't consider this matter well, and I hope that the walking master will not blame him. I also hope that Wudang Mountain can not only maintain a business relationship with Yin Yang Inn, but also establish a A profound friendship ”
Daoxuan smiled awkwardly and hurriedly made concessions, not wanting to really offend Yin Yang Inn.
At the same time, he also saw what kind of place Yin Yang Inn was from Zhang Qilin's attitude.
It's very simple. If there is a deal, it's easy to talk about it, but without a deal, it's impossible for the inn to help in vain.
After all, Yin Yang Inn is an inn between the realms of Yin and Yang. It not only deals with the dead but also with the ghosts. It would be a big mistake to think of it as an ordinary inn.
You must know that many people who want to spend money to ask for help from the inn may not be able to do so, because not everyone can ask the inn to help. The inn doesn't do everyone's business.
Zhang Qilin nodded slightly and continued: "Ask our innkeeper about this. I am just a footman in the inn and all orders are obeyed by the innkeeper. Now that the innkeeper wants me to go back to the inn, I can't stay any longer." "(End of Chapter)
