Chapter 460 Seeking Help from the Evil Spirit
Chapter 460 Seeking Help from the Evil Spirit
In the suburbs near the county town, there are obviously not as many evil spirits as in the deep mountains.
Elder Zhang led Tian Lin from north to south, and the number of Sun Gods they saw began to increase.
Compared to the night-wandering gods, a small number of the day-wandering gods have already developed spiritual intelligence.
They may be able to disguise themselves as living people, build houses and caves and pretend to live in them as immortals.
In fact, as long as these day-wandering gods do not kill people or commit evil deeds, even Buddhists will not treat them as monsters.
"For these day gods, counterfeit money can be used to deceive them. But making friends is about sincerity. Fake intentions are not the way to make friends!"
Elder Zhang, who had said that counterfeit money would be enough, now seemed like a different person.
In the final analysis, it is just that the Night Wandering God's cultivation is too low and he has no "human rights".
The two came to a forest and saw a huge courtyard located on the hillside.
There is a stream flowing from west to east on the hillside!
There is a bamboo bridge over the stream.
Just looking at the bamboo bridge and the small courtyard, it gives the illusion that a hermit is living in seclusion.
But if it were a real mortal, even a cultivator, who would build a courtyard and live here?
What's more, Tian Lin, who had eaten the true eye fruit, could see through the illusion at a glance.
The stream on the hillside is real, and the bridge over the stream is also real. But the so-called courtyard is actually a huge tomb that has been there for who knows how many years.
Tian Lin could even see the stone tablet on the grave, which contained the life story of the deceased. It said: Born in the 17th year of Qing'an, he studied at Hongwu Academy, failed the imperial examinations several times, and finally only got the status of a scholar.
When Tian Lin was in the Fairy Cave, he saw the imperial examination of the Great Qi Dynasty.
And the so-called scholar must have a foundation of cultivation.
From this, we can know that the owner of this tomb was a scholar during the Great Qi Dynasty, near the end of the world. And this scholar had at least the cultivation level of the foundation building realm.
"Zhou Bingsheng from Yulin greets the two Taoist friends. I wonder what the two Taoist friends are here for?"
Tian Lin and Elder Zhang did not hide their tracks when they descended from the top of the mountain. This was a gesture of goodwill.
Although this scholar from the Great Qi Dynasty had only reached the Golden Core stage, he did not flee because of Elder Zhang's sudden visit.
He brought his family and went out to greet them, as if they were entertaining a distinguished guest.
"I am here to look for someone. If I have disturbed you, please forgive me, Brother Zhou!"
Although Elder Zhang had never eaten the True Eye Fruit, his cultivation level meant that he could see that the whole family in front of him were ghosts rather than humans.
However, in the eyes of Elder Zhang, these evil spirits are actually no different from "fellow Taoists".
On the contrary, because the other party has a high level of cultivation, Elder Zhang is more willing to regard him as a fellow human being and will be more polite to him.
"I wonder who Daoist Fellow Zhang is looking for. Is that person a human or a ghost?"
Zhou Bingsheng said, "Recently, there has been a locust plague in Yulin, and quite a few mortal monks have died. I couldn't bear to see these mortal monks become wandering ghosts with nowhere to go after death, so I took some of them in. I just don't know which of these people is the one that Fellow Daoist Zhang is looking for."
After he finished speaking, he told the housekeeper, "Bring all the lonely souls that you have taken in recently and let Brother Zhang take a look."
The butler took the order and went back to the house, and Zhou Bingsheng invited Elder Zhang and Tian Lin in.
If Tian Lin were alone, he would not dare to enter the Sun Wandering God's 'house'. But Elder Zhang was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, so unless the other party's cultivation was higher than his, Elder Zhang had nothing to fear.
The two followed Zhou Bingsheng and his family into the house.
From Tian Lin's perspective, Zhou Bingsheng and his children looked just like living people. If he hadn't been able to see the ghostly aura in them, Tian Lin wouldn't have dared to treat them as evil spirits.
Soon, Zhou Bingsheng's housekeeper gathered hundreds of wandering ghosts in the courtyard.
Although these wandering ghosts were dressed as servants, they were all wearing silk and satin.
Moreover, these wandering ghosts only have the cultivation level of night-wandering gods at best, so it is certainly impossible for Mei Xiangu to be among them.
Fortunately, Elder Zhang did not expect to find Mei Xiangu all at once.
He looked at these people and shook his head.
Zhou Bingsheng said: "I think that those who can be relatives and friends of Elder Zhang must have strong cultivation. People like this, even if they become ghosts, will not be willing to enter my house and be a slave."
Elder Zhang asked him, "Fellow Daoist, you have lived here for quite some time, right? Do you know anything about Mei Xiangu in the southern suburbs of Beiye County?"
Zhou Bingsheng said: "I was able to move to the human world only because of the resurgence of ghost energy in recent years. In the past years, I basically lived in the tomb in a daze and knew very little about the outside world."
After saying this, he continued, "I have also heard of the name of Mei Xiangu. It is said that this Xiangu holds a sacred tree in her hand, which can drive away locusts and prevent evil spirits from invading.
It is also said that this fairy lady not only has strong cultivation, but is also very beautiful. Some of my friends even wanted to propose marriage to her. Unfortunately, the fairy lady's sacred tree separates the inside and the outside, and my friend who wanted to propose marriage was driven away by her sacred tree before he even arrived.
Tian Lin was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that there was such a story about Mei Xiangu.
Tian Lin couldn't help but ask, "Your friend must be a ghost cultivator, right? Can a ghost cultivator and a living person get married?"
Zhou Bingsheng said: "This is nothing strange! Since ancient times, ghost marriages have not been common, but they do exist.
Besides, now that the Great Qi Dynasty has been destroyed, the Heavenly Court no longer governs this world. Now the yin and yang are out of whack, and the order has long been reversed - so humans and ghosts living together will not be punished by heaven and earth."
Tian Lin was speechless for a moment!
Nowadays, the world is really upside down. When people die, they have nowhere to go. If they cannot enter the underworld, they will naturally stay in the world of the living. The evil spirits that are everywhere in the mountains of Beiye County are a clear proof of this.
"I guess Daoyou's friend is also a Sun Wanderer, right?"
Tian Lin asked again.
"My friend's cultivation is equal to mine. But if you think that it was my friend who kidnapped Mei Xiangu, you are totally wrong."
Zhou Bingsheng explained slowly, "Although we have become ghosts, we are all scholars of the Great Qi Dynasty. Everyone loves beauty, but we will never offend or rude a beautiful woman."
Tian Lin nodded, but he was unsure in his heart.
Elder Zhang then said, "Mei Xiangu was my disciple. She suddenly disappeared a few days ago and now we don't know whether she is alive or dead! Since your friends recognize Mei Xiangu, I would like to ask your friends to help find her."
"It's easy!"
Zhou Bingsheng said without hesitation: "Although Xiaoke's cultivation is not high, he has made many friends around him. These people have the cultivation of Day Wandering Gods, and there are many Night Wandering Gods around them waiting to be dispatched -
Please give me the drawings of Mei Xiangu, and let me copy thousands of them. Then I will give them to my friends, and they can follow the drawings to find Mei Xiangu's whereabouts."
Elder Zhang said: "If this matter can be accomplished, I will reward you handsomely."
He came to find the Day God because he wanted to use him to command the Night Gods and evil spirits.
As long as we can mobilize the power of the evil spirits in Beiye County, finding Mei Xiangu will be just around the corner.
