Zhang Yuan wrote vigorously and wrote the memorial all night.

When I woke up early in the morning, I saw my wife packing up and preparing to take the two girls to Xuandu Temple.

"Wait...wait...you guys are going to Xuandu Temple so early? You haven't had breakfast yet!"

"We brought snacks to prepare for the road." Mrs. Zhang said: "People saved us yesterday, so of course we should go to Xuandu Temple to offer incense and say thank you. Nowadays, there are many families in Dongji City who have benefited from the Taoist Priest. We are late, so they may not be able to do so.

No time to see us."

Mrs. Zhang was not the only one who had this idea. When the women opened the door, they saw a dense crowd of people on the street outside. Several avenues in Dongyi City were crowded with people, and they rushed to Xuandu to watch.

However, even though they came to Xuandu Temple, the gate was not open, and Temple Master Xu was studying the information brought back by He Xuchen with the cultivators.

Hu Xuchen captured a group of demons and interrogated Xu Bai all night. When Ren Hong, Lei Lingzi and others came to ask, Xu Bai said: "I didn't explain anything useful. I just told them a few lines they had installed in the city."

people."

"Because those informants are all mortals, let the Yamen send people to solve it. The current problem is still the heart-eating red clothes. The body we brought back yesterday may not be right."

"That's not right?" Ren Hong thought about it and thought of He Xuchen's speculation last night: "Did they switch the package in advance?"

"good."

"Where can a body be hidden?" Fu Shubao said: "If they put people in the tomb guard, maybe it is still in the tomb? It happens that we are going to do something there today, so why not look for it again."

Didn’t the group of people outside the Taoist temple just offer incense and say thanks, and then invite them to the graves to perform rituals to comfort the spirits of their ancestors?

"Otherwise, it will be smuggled back to the city? Where will the corpse be hidden?" Pu Chun: "Let's talk to the Yamen later and let's go look for it?"

He Xuchen: "The best place to hide the corpse is a pile of corpses. Maybe in a place where corpses are stored, or in a yizhuang."

When Xu Bai saw Ren Hong bowing his head in deep thought, he couldn't help asking: "What do fellow Taoists think?"

Ren Hong came back to his senses, listened to Xu Bai ask again, and replied: "If I hide the body, I will dismember the body, hide it in small boxes, and then throw it into the warehouses of various governments. Anyway, those from wealthy families

The warehouse will not be inventoried every day. Then it will be rotated and moved to different locations, and it will be put together when needed."

Dismemberment?

Fu Shubao's little face turned blue. Isn't that too tragic?

Ren Hong: "I was thinking about something just now. Why are the rumors originating from Li Bin described as a female ghost?"

Yan Li: "It's just a rumor, why should it be based on the real gender? Maybe the market spread is wrong?"

"No, I understand what Fellow Taoist Changqing means." He Xuchen suddenly realized: "Since men and women are the same, why not choose the gender that is consistent with the original person?"

"Thinking about it from a normal perspective, the murderer was a man. He was imprisoned or killed by them and used as a basis for weirdness. So following this line of thinking, can't we just say that he is a male murderer? Why did he become a woman when he spread the rumors?

"

"Is it because they didn't have guidance and the rumors changed spontaneously? Or is there some purpose behind this?"

"Yes, that's my question. Does deliberately changing gender do anything good for them?"

Hexuchen lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I really didn't understand this point. But now that I have caught them, I can ask them again."

He took Biwan down to interrogate him again.

And Ren Hong mentioned another matter: "Master, there was a strange movement yesterday. The one-horned ghost king escaped. I wonder if there is any news about him? Will he escape back to the underworld?"

"In the Netherworld, there are not even a hundred but eighty ghost kings with horns on their foreheads. I checked from Xuandu Palace and found no news about the one-horned ghost king. But there was a message from Xuandu Temple next door, saying that a ghost fire was seen in the cemetery in the suburbs last night.

"

The cemetery in the next town over?

Ren Hong was thoughtful.

After a person dies, his soul returns to the underworld. Because places like cemeteries are contaminated with yin energy, gaps between the place and the underworld are naturally formed. However, the gaps are generally too small for evil spirits to pass through.

"Junior brother and I will go take a look." Lei Lingzi reported his courage: "Today I will go to the next town and kill the one-horned ghost king as much as possible to avoid disaster."

Yan Li: "Fellow Taoist, are you planning on escaping the troubles of holding a spirit and offering a wedding ceremony, right?"

This time the one-horned ghost king made a big fuss in the graveyard. The people in the city were worried that their ancestors' spirits would be disturbed, so they all planned to ask Xuandu Temple to help them perform rituals to comfort the ancestors.

After this matter has gone through so much, Xuandu Guan's family will not have enough resources. I'm afraid Xu Guanzhu will ask them for help again.

As for rituals and rituals, there are only so many good deeds, but one or two points of good deeds are not enough.

Therefore, Lei Lingzi planned to take his junior brother to avoid it.

Ren Hong also took the opportunity to say: "I also have something to do. I had an epiphany yesterday. I have made great progress today and I have to practice in seclusion."

When everyone looked at him, they did feel a slight change in the aura of true energy. Especially Lei Lingzi and the two felt it more deeply, as if they could feel the traces of Qingwei Thunder Technique on his body?

"Since we are practicing, I don't want to disturb you. But if fellow Taoists are free, you might as well look for Li Bin's body in the city."

"I know, I know."

…

After the one-horned ghost king escaped last night, he hid in the cemetery in the next town to recover from his injuries. Just when Huxuchen was catching the devil, he also encountered something unexpected.

There were candles fluttering in front of the grave, and eighteen blue flames surrounded him.

The ghost king's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the flames carefully and suddenly thought of a certain rumor. He asked in a trembling voice, "But is it the Bodhisattva's Dharma?"

Laughter echoed in the cold night, and the woman's voice suddenly sounded: "I am not your aunt. You have mistaken the person."

Looking forward, the eighteen candles turned out to be nine similar-looking bird heads. The candles were the eighteen eyes of the nine-headed bird.

The nine-headed pheasant spirit said: "But when I come here this time, I really want to ask the Ghost King if he wants to follow my aunt's actions."

"Shanlai Bodhisattva wants to recruit me?"

The Ghost King looked happy, thinking that he would be punished by King Qi after his defeat, so he immediately thought of finding another backer.

Shanlai Bodhisattva is the name established by a great demon from the underworld after she broke into the world of the sun. She wants to practice the path of gods and Buddhas and attain the throne of Taoism.

This backer is much stronger than King Qi.

The nine bird heads danced in the wind: "Exactly, my aunt's promotion to the fruition position is just around the corner, and she needs the help of protectors from all walks of life. If the ghost king is willing to take refuge with my aunt, in the future, he will become a god and general protector in front of the Bodhisattva throne. Is it no better than a mere ghost?"

The One-Horned Ghost King was interested, and they hit it off immediately, planning to follow her immediately to the seat of Shanlai Bodhisattva.

But when he emerged from the graveyard, the Ghost King thought of another thing: "I wonder what I would call the girl?"

"I am the ninth eldest child in the family, so just call me 'Ninth Girl'."

"Miss Ninth. I escaped from Dongji City and got separated from two female ghosts. I wonder if Miss Ninth can follow me to find them?"

"Donggao City? The demon cultivators are being investigated over there. He Xuchen, who is known as the 'empty talker', is guarding there. This girl will not bump into it stupidly. No matter how good-looking a man is, what's the use if he doesn't know how to show affection and cherish the jade.

?”

Hu Xuchen?

The one-horned ghost king looked confused. He obviously didn't understand this person's identity when he first came to the world.

"Besides, do you dare to peep at the people in the Lehuan Pavilion?" The nine-headed pheasant spirit smiled: "Aren't you afraid of those female ghosts devouring you? Grandma Lehuan is an old ghost that even my aunt is not willing to offend."

A trace of disappointment flashed across the Ghost King's face. But then Miss Ninth said: "But if my aunt ascends to the throne of Daoguo, and you have done great service for her, go to the Lehuan Pavilion to beg the two female ghosts. I believe that the Lehuan Pavilion will give you this face."
