Chapter 39 Bragging Taoist
Shanshui Town is a relatively affluent town. There are two streets horizontally and vertically. People who walk slowly can't finish with a cup of tea. After passing the Shanshui Town and walking into the mountains, you can walk to the territory of the Shinto Gods in a day. If the weather is clear, you can see Kirin Mountain from the highest tower in Shanshui Town. It is the holy place of the Shinan clan. Even on a hot summer day, the peaks of the mountain are covered with a layer of ice and snow.
The two most famous specialties in Shanshui Town, one is the weapons created by Lingjia Forging Workshop, and the other is the hunting goods of the Shintoon clan. More than two years ago, every year, merchants came from all over the world to buy and order the hunting goods of the Shinto people. There are also many merchants in the town who make a living by buying and selling the Semitic Hunters. But one day two years ago, the business was completely cut off by the iron hooves of the Thunder Army.
The Shinto God has also become a lost image, a sentimental memory.
Liuhe Teahouse is the most lively place in Shanshui Town. A hundred-year-old willow tree, a gurgling clear stream, a teahouse under the shade of the tree, a pot of fragrant tea, and talk about some old things. These are the things that the masters of Shanshui Town love to do.
This afternoon, a Taoist priest who looked at the crypt and buried people to make a living brought a topic of interest to everyone.
Do you know? It's strange. Yesterday, the buyer in the east of the town looked at the crypt and buried the body. When I came to the cemetery, I found that several graves were thrown away, but there were not a lot of burial items inside. The Taoist priest said loudly, which attracted many tea friends.
"The grave has always been thrown to steal the funeral items inside. The tomb robber does not steal valuable things, so why does he throw away other people's old graves? Is it fun?" Some people questioned it.
"You can't believe that although the man did not steal the gold and silver utensils, bronze and jade dishes in the tomb, he stole something."
"What did he steal?" A lot of tea came over again.
"Did he steal the body?" Some people say.
"So maybe that person is in a specific old grave, right? There is something he needs hidden in it. Some people say.
"You are all wrong." The Taoist priest adjusted everyone's interest to this height, and then he said the answer, "Hey hey, he stole the century-old Chen Gu buried inside."
Everyone looked at each other in consters. They couldn't understand that a tomb robber did not steal valuable gold and silver utensils, but stole the worthless century-old Chen Gu. What is this?
"I suspect..." The Taoist priest looked around and lowered his voice mysteriously. "The tomb robber is not an ordinary person, but a ghost refiner!"
This sentence seems to suddenly change the autumn season to a cold winter. The wind that blows the willow branches is not the autumn wind at the right temperature, but the cold snow wind. The wind also froze their bodies, with their mouths wide open and motionless.
Ghost refiners are the most evil and terrifying profession. They specialize in making some seductive souls and killing people in invisible things. In the minds of ordinary people, the horror of ghost refiners is far more terrible than those legendary Yasha, fierce ghosts and demons. Even people who have never seen a ghost refiner don't know much about ghost refiners. As soon as they hear the three words ghost refiners, no matter how bold they are, they will be scared and afraid like a tiger.
"Haha! Mao Qiu, you stinky Taoist priest are talking nonsense here again. The era of fierce ghosts has passed for many years, and the ghost refiners have also disappeared. Where is the existence of ghost refiners now? Even if there is, it is impossible to come to a small place like our Shanshui Town. A person with a little insight said. He was also shocked when he heard the three words ghost refiner just now, but he soon found an unreasonable place to pierce the Taoist cowhide.
"Who's talking nonsense?" The Taoist priest, known as Mao Qiu, was angry and said tit-for-tat: "I am a Taoist priest attached to the Taoist temple in the clouds of Kaicheng. My teacher is a famous Song Shengyang real person. My ability is not only to show people feng shui, but also to bury people in a Taoist temple. I can also do Taoism. The reason why I am sure that the grave robber is a ghost refiner is based on that. You guys, you must have never heard of it. After opening up the world of ghost refining, ghost refiners will collect the valley of the century-old tomb, the tree fruit of the century-old tomb, right? That valley, that fruit is the ghost valley and the ghost fruit, which will be transplanted into the world of ghost refining.
Everyone was stunned.
Mao Qiu saw that the scene was suppressed, and he couldn't help but be a little proud. "It's not me, Mao Qiu, bragging. I'm sure that the ghost refiner is just a little ghost refiner who has just cultivated to the ghost field. He doesn't dare to go to a big place, so he came to a small place like our Shanshui Town to steal tombs and collect ghost valleys and ghost fruits."
"The Taoist priest really has real ability. Tell us more about it. What else do you know besides these?"
"That's of course. I'm a Taoist priest attached to the Taoist temple in the clouds of Kaicheng. My mentor is the famous Song Shengyang real person..." Every time he mentions this big man, Mao Qiu looks very excited, as if there is really such a thing and a relationship. In fact, the part he said about ghost refiners is seven or eight points accurate, but the Taoist temple in the clouds of Kaicheng is fictitious and pure bragging.
Pull a relationship that others can't confirm and pretend to have a big background. The advantage is that others are not willing to provoke him in the future, and he is also easy to do business. Small people have the way to survive.
Just as everyone gathered around and talked about the tomb robbers, another guest came to the teahouse. This guest is dressed in rough black cloth clothes without any accessories and styles. At a glance, it can be seen at a glance that it is a bargain for tailor apprentices in the cloth shop. He is not very old, just seventeen or eight years old. His figure is slightly thin, but it gives people a very capable feeling. His appearance is beautiful and graceful, but a pair of dark eyes are very different. When he looks directly at it, it can always make people feel inexplicably cold.
The teenager sat quietly in the corner and ordered a pot of tea and two stomach-filling snacks. While eating, he listened to Taoist priest Mao Qiu and a group of tea friends bragging. No matter how happy others were talking and how lively the scene was, he was indifferent. He just sat quietly in the corner and enjoyed his cheapest tea and rough snacks.
This teenager is the Bainiao Chong who came from Baicao Valley. For a month, he avoided the road with many people and only walked on the outskirts of the wilderness. Every day, in addition to practicing ghost refining, he sometimes hunts some prey or picks some valuable herbs and sells them into coins in the market town to maintain the need for survival. In a month, he finally learned to make ghost soup with ghost fire under the professor of hell.
The refining technology that this kind of ghost refiner needs to master first is not complicated. The medicinal materials needed are Wangyou grass, Sanshenghua, withered bones and stone tablet grass. They are mixed together, boiled into medicinal soup with ghost fire, then refined into the virtual shadow of medicinal soup, sent into the world of ghost refining with ghost grain, and then let the ghost people serve. Down.
After the ghosts of Rota and Wei Lan took the ghost soup of Bainiao Chong, they completely became his ghost people.
The role of the ghost soup is not only to make the ghosts collected into the world of ghosts forget the two things of life and death, to free them from the boundless pain, but also to open the ghost wisdom and recognize the ghost master. This role will enable ghosts to restore the role of the brain, be able to think, work, participate in training and training. More importantly, after drinking the ghost soup, Bainiao Chong will become their absolute master, and they will never defect.
However, although the ghosts of Rota and Wei Lan have been turned into real ghost people, completely submitted to him, commanded and trained by him, the reclamation of ghost land still encountered some trouble and has not been carried out for a long time. The first trouble is that it is not uncommon to find a hundred-year-old tomb, but it is difficult to find the tomb where rice is placed in the grave, and it is difficult to gather the seeds of the ghost valley. The second trouble is that the production tools cannot be sent into the world of ghost refining. Both ghosts can only use the most primitive stone tools to reclaim the land, and the progress is very slow.
This has also become the reason why Bai Niaochong robbed the tomb in Shanshui Town.
"That Taoist priest still has some insight and guesses something. If this news spreads, it will be really troublesome." The voice of the devil came. Under a hundred days, he sat next to Bai Niao Chong, but only Bai Niao Chong could see him and hear his voice in a room.
Hundreds of birds said lightly, "He is just a little Taoist priest who cheats. He has no real ability. Otherwise, he must have seen you at this time." After a pause, he suddenly asked, "Ghost, do you mean to let me kill him?"
Yan Gui nodded, "Your identity must not be exposed, even if it is just a potential threat of exposure."
Hundreds of birds laughed and said, "Ghost, if I kill him, then these people who listen to him brag will definitely say that he was killed by the ghost refiner. Isn't that even worse? Besides, I can't kill innocent people, and I can't kill all the people here, so forget it. This is a small place. Even if there are rumors, they can't be heard. Besides, there are not many reasons to believe that he is such a brag person.
"I won't interfere in your affairs. Now that you have decided, forget it." Yan Gui also did not insist on his opinion. In his opinion, what Bai Niaochong said also has a certain truth. Even if he is a ghost refiner, killing has his own rules, and Bai Niao Chong is developing his rules. He also knows this.
Not long after sitting, Bainiao drank his tea and stuffed two plates of snacks into his stomach. He took the bill and walked slowly out of the teahouse.
"Hey! Boy, are you from other places? As soon as he went out, a voice suddenly came from behind and stopped him.
