Chapter 74
"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. You should take me back to your temple to meet his master first." Wu Zhen naturally called out to Master as the husband was.
The Taoist priest Lidong looked at her in surprise for a long time, and said nothing, perhaps because the statement "The uncle's body is his wife" was too far beyond his imagination.
Although he didn't believe it, Lidong's Taoist priest immediately became much more restrained when facing Wu Zhen. He felt that there might be something wrong with his uncle's mental state. Given that his uncle is very powerful, he did not believe that there are any demons and ghosts that can occupy his uncle's body, so it must be that there is something wrong with his brain.
The beginning of the winter did not dare to say it, and respectfully led Wu Zhen back to Changxi Temple - so that the master could cure it. Changxi Temple was in Xiling Mountain, not too far from here, and the two of them would arrive in just one day.
Unfortunately, as soon as he set out on the road, the little Taoist priest from Lidong received a paper bird asking for help from his fellow disciples.
After reaching out to take the paper bird, Li Dong frowned, Wu Zhen stopped waiting for him, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Dong said hesitantly: "I have a fellow disciple nearby asking for help, I think I'm in trouble." He seemed to want to go over and help, but looking at Wu Zhen, he was a little hesitant.
Wu Zhen looked at his face and raised his eyebrows and asked, "It's very critical?"
Li Dong said honestly: "There is not much information on the paper bird, it seems to be released in a hurry."
Wu Zhen simply said: "Since you are nearby, then go and have a look."
Let’s solve the problem early and leave early. With this idea, Wu Zhen and Li Dong dialed the route to Xiangshui City together. Following the guidance atmosphere left by the paper bird, the two stopped outside the pottery house in the city.
This place is full of wealthy houses. The other houses on the roadside are brightly lintels, and the fallen leaves and dust in front of the door are cleaned. However, this pottery house has a layer of dust accumulated at the door and no one can clean it up. The door is closed, and no one can respond to it.
Wu Zhen saw his beautiful and energetic knocking method, and he really had a toothache. After tweeting, he held Li Dong's back collar and dragged him aside to place it. He smiled at him, "Let me do it."
Then she raised her foot and kicked the heavy door open by her.
Wu Zhen took back his feet, and under Li Dong's stunned gaze, he thought that the husband's strength was really great. And Li Dong, he followed Wu Zhen into the Tao House in a daze, thinking that the uncle's illness seemed to be a bit serious.
The door was kicked open, and Wu Zhen heard several depressing screams, like a slave guarding the door was hiding in a nearby small room. He was so shocked by this scene that they shouted out, but they immediately closed their mouths and did not dare to say anything again.
Wu Zhen ignored those people and walked in with the swagger of the Lidong.
"Where is your fellow disciple? Find someone quickly."
Li Dong came to his senses and immediately shot out a paper bird and asked it to lead the way. He was walking around the Tao family's big house. Logically speaking, there should be many servants in the Tao family's house in such a big house, but after the two of them entered the house, they didn't see the servants in the Tao house walking outside. Occasionally, they could only see a hurried back, hiding into the room and closing the door, and they couldn't even shout. These servants hid in the room and did not dare to come out at will, so they lay behind the door and looked at them, as if there was a terrible monster outside.
When Wu Zhen came, he thought that the person who sent the message to ask for help had encountered some powerful evil demon. As a result, when he arrived at this Tao House, she did not find any evil demon's aura at all. She only had a yard scared servant.
This is strange.
Soon, the paper bird stopped on a window frame. Wu Zhen twitched his mouth. The small building in front of him was exquisite and beautiful, but now there was a large circle of yellow talismans outside. When he looked up, he saw that there were countless yellow talismans on the windows and doors on the second floor of the small building, densely packed.
Such a "strict" defense not only made Wu Zhen ugly, but also scared Li Dong. He frowned, stepped forward and pushed the door open and walked in first.
The person hiding in the small building heard the sound of the door being pushed open and immediately screamed. However, it was the owner of the Tao house, the Tao family's husband. Compared with the Tao Langjun who had a wealthy face before, Tao Langjun was obviously tortured at this time, and his fat face was much thinner. He looked at the person coming in panic, grabbed the Taoist robe of a person next to him with one hand, and shouted: "Second uncle, here we are here again, help!"
The person who was pulled by him was also a Taoist priest. He was a little old and had a little panic on his face. When he saw Li Dong walking in, he immediately showed joy and bowed to him and said, "Senior Brother Li Dong, please come and help."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wu Zhen waving in with his hands behind his back, and was even more overjoyed. He walked forward with two steps excitedly, and staggered forward with Langjun Tao who was holding his robe next to him. But the middle-aged Taoist priest didn't pay attention and gave a big gift to Wu Zhen. He almost cried with joy when he saw the savior: "I didn't expect that Master Gu Yu was here too. In this way, there would definitely be nothing wrong. This is really great!"
Wu Zhen looked unfathomable and thought that his husband was so low-key in Chang'an, and never thought that he was so respected among these Taoist priests.
Li Dong glanced at Wu Zhen with some concern. He was really afraid that the uncle of the junior master would suddenly get sick and ruin his past reputation. So he didn't wait for the middle-aged Taoist priest to say more and asked him directly, "Taoyi, what happened to ask you to put a paper bird for help?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest was named Taoyi, and his name was different from that of Lidong and others. It seemed that he had a different identity among Chang Xiguan disciples. Wu Zhen thought to himself that after all, he considered the reputation of the Langjun and did not talk casually, but only heard Lidong talk to this person.
"That's right. This Tao Langjun is close to me. He has been in a state of trouble recently and has encountered a strange thing." Tao Yi pointed to Tao Langjun who was standing beside him with a nervous look on his face. "The wife and three daughters in his family suddenly turned into mice. Then all kinds of ghosts often appeared in the yard, and things were in his dreams in the middle of the night to torture him, not just him. At night, all kinds of strange shadows would appear in the garden, walking around like a human being, and they were all the servants in the house saw it, which made people panic, so he came to me for help."
Tao Yi smiled bitterly: "Although my disciples have been practicing in Changxi Temple for several years, they have poor qualifications and only learned some basics and cannot get on the table. When they come here, they have never found anything wrong. Instead, they are tortured by something that has no origin. They cannot, so they release paper birds, wanting to try their luck and find a senior brother to help."
Speaking of this, Tao Yi looked at Wu Zhen again and was shocked, "Now that he saw Master Gu Yu and Senior Brother Li Dong come, the disciple is finally relieved!"
Wu Zhen's expression became a little subtle when he heard that a person turned into a mouse, and he was thinking about something. When Li Dong listened, he also looked solemn and asked Tao Yi: "Is anyone killed?"
Tao Yi shook his head: "There is no victim yet, but the wife of Tao and the three wives have turned into mice. I really don't know what to do."
He pushed Tao Langjun, and Tao Langjun understood and quickly took a cage from the side, placed it in front of Lidong and the others, and smiled and said, "That's it, they, they don't know how they became like this."
There were four gray-haired mice in the cage, one big and three small, and now they were trembling and huddled together.
Tao Langjun didn't dare to look at them very much. After putting down the cage, he walked away from it two steps and asked Li Dong carefully, "Master Taoist, look, are they? Are they monsters?"
As soon as these words came out, the mice in the cage seemed to understand and shouted anxiously in the cage, and they were still holding the cage, which scared Tao Langjun to take a few more steps back.
Li Dong looked at the mouse carefully, shook his head and replied, "No, it must have been turned into this by someone using the technique." Although he is not old, he has extraordinary knowledge and quickly explained, "I have heard from the master that this technique, but I have never really seen it. This is not a magic technique, but a magic technique similar to the Taoist technique. There are very few people who practice it. If you want to crack it, it may be a little trouble."
It was at this time that Wu Zhen spoke, and she said, "I'll go out and take a look." After that, she didn't care about Li Dong, and took the door and quickly disappeared into the backyard.
At this time, somewhere in the back of the Tao family, Afu sat on a cushion and gnawed the cake, listening to the white mouse master lying on the pillow in front of him talking about the magic of shadow ghost. Yes, Pei Jiya turned back to the mouse. His previous human form was that he forced his breakthrough in the magic, so the originally good injuries were aggravated.
But he didn't care and was still teaching his apprentice excitedly. His apprentice looked stupid and knew how to eat, but it was really amazing to learn extraordinary skills. He taught her how to do it, but she never let him down. The experiments in the Tao family's house these two days scared everyone in the yard.
"You can already use the superficial shadow ghost technique last night, but this 'shadow ghost' is actually not a ghost, and..." Pei Jiya said this, and her voice stopped and her eyes looked at the door.
There was a white shadow floating there, like a white banner trembling slightly in the wind. He made a sound from his mouth that Ah Fu couldn't understand, but Pei Jiya understood it.
"Two Taoist priests came again? I didn't expect that this Taoist priest was a little capable." Bai Lao Mouse's expression was not obvious, but from his tone, he could hear his carelessness. He lacked interest in the two new Taoist priests.
Afu put down the cake in his hand and looked a little scared. She could understand that someone was coming who was not good for them.
Bai Mouse Pei Jiya chuckled indifferently, "But they are just two little Taoists, what are you afraid of? Just scare them away casually. If it is difficult to deal with, they will suffer a little. Knowing that they are powerful, they will naturally not dare to care about this little business."
Ah Fu felt that Master looked really amazing!
Then, this amazing master soon became timid.
When Ah Fu saw a tall and thin young man walking in, his movements were natural and he didn't seem to see the weird things outside the yard. His eyes only glanced at her and quickly put them on her master.
Step by step, he had a strange smile on his face, getting closer and closer. When Afu saw his awesome master look at the person, his hair suddenly stood up all over his body and moved backwards, even his voice was a little different.
"Ha...haha, it turns out to be my cousin." The master smiled a little dry.
