The car took Xu Tong and Gao Zhuo to Leiyin Village.
Although it is a village, the streets and surrounding houses have obviously been renovated. Compared with the already desolate villages in the northeast, this place is visibly wealthy.
Mei Du slowed down the car and greeted people in the village from time to time.
The villagers immediately showed a friendly smile when they saw Mei Du's face.
Some people even half-jokingly called him Young Master.
Mei Du could only awkwardly explain to Xu Tong and Gao Zhuo:
“When our Mei family moved here from Qingcheng Mountain, food was a problem in the village.
Later, my grandfather responded to the call and led the village to develop handicraft industry. Gradually, the people in the village became rich.
Of course, I really don’t have any skills, so I go to work in my crematorium. Although most people think it’s unlucky, it’s still a good job.”
"There is no need to explain. If you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are blessed, you can help the world."
Gao Zhuo understood this very well. If the fortunes of the two generations of the Gao family had not been so rough that they had little accumulation, they might have followed the changes of the times like the Mei family.

This is not about retreating, but following the trend.
As for those who refuse to keep up with the times...
Please look at Beimang Mountain from a distance.
The Mei family's house is at one end of the village. It is surrounded by a thick high wall. Even the door is very small. If you don't pay attention to the length of the house's wall and just look at the door, no one passing by will be able to see it.
You will notice that there is such a big house here.
There are some old plum trees at the door, I don’t know how old they are. They have thick branches and luxuriant leaves. It is the flower blooming season now, and the fragrance of plum trees is refreshing.
Xu Tong walked to the door and suddenly felt a slight vibration on the top of his head.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."
I looked up and saw a red cinnabar gourd hanging in front of the door. On the gourd hung seven copper coins and a bell, which was jingling at the moment.
After taking a closer look, it turned out that when he entered the door, the gourd emitted a burst of red light, which seemed to be triggered by the reaction, shining on his entrance, causing the three of them to immediately be on guard.
The gourd didn't have any malicious intentions, it was just because the auras of Xu Tong and Gao Zhuo were too evil, so it instinctively made a noise to remind its owner.
In response, Mei Du hurriedly patted his forehead and handed them the two paper charms he had prepared earlier.
"Sorry, sorry, I almost forgot. There are many things to suppress evil spirits in my house. You bring trouble to this province."
"Hey, suppress the evil spirit? Can you still suppress me??"
Gao Zhuo was a little unconvinced, thinking that Mei Du was a little too exaggerated.
Although he has not become a grand master, he is still a half-step master. The several zombies he carries have made great progress due to his painstaking training during this period.
It is no exaggeration to say that in this era, except for players, other alien families can hardly get him if they punch one by themselves and use some trivial Feng Shui tricks.
"Bring it on, you're the only one who talks too much!"
Xu Tong rolled his eyes at Gao Zhuo. Before he entered, he felt that there was a strong aura in this house. Even though the Mei family had transformed and no longer developed in spiritual practice, its heritage was still there.
Don't accidentally suffer a big loss, and then you won't even have room to reason.
Seeing Xu Tong put on the amulet, even though Gao Zhuo was still a little dissatisfied, he still put the amulet on his body obediently.
With just one foot in, you can feel the Jiangnan-style garden style intimately.
The antique architectural style is completely different from the buildings in the village.
After entering and exiting three times, outside the courtyard wall and gate, it is completely a group of antique villas.
Not to mention Xu Tong, even Gao Zhuo was greedy to see it.
I knew this kid's family was rich, but I didn't expect him to be so rich.
Xu Tong looked around, looking left and right, but he and Gao Zhuo saw things differently.
All mysteries are hidden under the eyes of fate.
The wind chimes hanging on the pavilion and the rooster carved on the roof beams are all carefully designed town objects.
Mei Du also enthusiastically took the two of them on a tour, introducing them while touring.
As soon as they reached the rockery in the garden, Xu Tong and Gao Zhuo felt something was wrong.
The yellow talisman on his body danced violently.
Gao Zhuo even felt the corpse energy surging in his body, and even felt a little uncontrollable.
"Corpse Refining Ground!" Immediately, Gao Zhuo's eyes flashed with gleaming light, and he focused on the rockery in front of him.
When it comes to corpse refining, he can definitely be regarded as an expert among experts. When the hair on his body moves, he can feel the strength of the surrounding aura from the wind, and whether it is suitable for corpse refining.
But at this moment, when he looked at the rockery in front of him, he started to murmur in his heart.
You can obviously feel that there seems to be a strong corpse energy under the rockery, but when you get close to the rockery, you can't feel any corpse energy at all.
Not only could I not feel it, but the closer I got to the rockery, my body began to itch, as if being repelled by a force.
"Strange... This place is so full of corpse energy, why do I feel full of yang energy??"
Gao Zhuo studied for a while, but couldn't figure out any way, so he could only look back at Mei Du.
Upon seeing this, Mei Du quickly explained to him.
"Brother Gao is indeed an expert in corpse refining. This place is indeed a corpse refining ground. Strictly speaking, it is a cave of great evil. It is said that there is a Rakshasa Dahan down there that was refined by my predecessors from the Mei family."
"Rakshasa Drought!!"
Gao Zhuo's eyes widened when he heard this.
If the flying yaksha is equivalent to the great master, then the Rakshasa drought is equivalent to the zombies who have entered the Tao.
Even if you are an expert in Taoism, you will not be able to compete without three or five people joining forces.
Such an awesome zombie was actually suppressed below. It was impossible to say that Gao Zhuo was not itchy.
But Mei Du knew what Gao Zhuo was thinking by looking at his expression, and coughed lightly: "Ahem, Brother Gao, I advise you not to think about this thing. My grandpa said that thing would have been enlightened long ago. If it hadn't been
The blood curse was cast long ago. Even our family cannot control this thing, otherwise why would we keep it under control?"
Mei Du's implication was that the zombie below would only obey the Mei family's advice and advised Gao Zhuo not to take any chances with this thing below.
Of course Gao Zhuo understood what he was saying. He curled his lips and said unconvinced: "Oh, it makes me unable to practice. What I'm curious about is this rockery."
As Gao Zhuo spoke, he couldn't help but pat the rockery with his hand.
As soon as my palm touched the rockery, my eyes widened and I grinned. I quickly took my hand off and saw that there were blood blisters on my palm.
"Deserve it!"
Xu Tong rolled his eyes, not surprised at all by this result.
I saw fluorescent light appearing in his eyes, and the rockery in front of him turned out to be like a furnace, with steaming Yang Qi surging up to the sky.
With such a strong yang energy, let alone Gao Zhuo, you don't even want to get close to it, so you still want to touch it with your hands?
"That's the Taishan Stone, a stone transported from the top of Mount Tai. Look over there!"
Mei Du led them forward and saw an exquisite altar under the rockery. On top of the altar was a finely carved palace. Even though the palace looked small, the level of sophistication was outrageous.
It can be as small as a step, doors and windows, or as large as the statues enshrined inside.
Without exception, they look exactly like the real thing.
There is also a plaque hanging on the gate: [Taishan Mansion]
When Gao Zhuo saw this, he immediately shut up.
Good guy, I have directly invited Mr. Taishan back. No wonder the yang energy in this place is so strong.
But when I thought about it again, I didn’t think there was anything strange about it.
It is said that Taoist Meihua made a big fuss about Yin Cao and ended up becoming Yin Cao's agent.
There is even the right to print special banknotes.
Therefore, it is reasonable for people to worship the Lord of Taishan Prefecture.
"Extremely yang...extremely yin!"
Gao Zhuo's heart skipped a beat and he stared at Mei Du: "Your family wants to practice immortality!"
"ah!"
Hearing this, Mei Du was also shocked. He didn't expect that such a confidential matter would be revealed by Gao Zhuo. He immediately covered Gao Zhuo's mouth: "Brother Gao, be careful what you say!"
Gao Zhuo slapped Mei Du's hand away angrily and sneered: "Your Mei family is also dishonest. You dare to practice this kind of thing. Even if you cast a blood curse and achieve great immortality, I'm afraid your Mei family won't be able to suppress it."
live!"
Mei Du's expression changed drastically, and he quickly clasped his hands together: "Brother Gao, stop talking, stop talking, you can't joke about this kind of thing."
Seeing that Mei Du looked bad, Gao Zhuo pursed his lips and stopped talking further.
Mei Du immediately did not dare to let the two of them stay here any longer, and hurriedly asked them to go to the main hall.
When he walked to the main hall, Xu Tong raised his head and glanced at the beams. He saw a package hung with red cloth on the beams. It was filled with light and good luck.
I didn't know what was inside, but as soon as I entered the main hall, my luck and Gao Zhuo's luck also improved a little bit.
After walking around, Xu Tong couldn't help but sigh, it has a profound foundation.
As for money, although they don't have it, the plot of the script can directly exchange it for wealth, or even gold.
But no amount of money can buy the heritage passed down by generations of people.
At this point, looking at the entire nine schools, I am afraid that only a few can really achieve this.
"Come this way!"
Mei Du led the two of them into the incense hall nearby, where a painting was enshrined.
"This is Taoist Meihua!"
Gao Zhuo looked up at the shadow sitting under the plum tree on the scroll. He wanted to take a closer look, but found that he could not clearly see the Taoist's face in the painting.
Xu Tong felt a turmoil in his heart. With the help of Mingyan Qimen, he saw the figure in the painting seemed to be alive, holding a stove and playing chess with an ethereal expression.
The water in Meijia is not ordinary deep.
There is a Zun Taishan stone in front of you, and you want to achieve great longevity.
And the scroll enshrined at the back is even more remarkable.
It is said that immortals have no appearance, and the immortals on many murals often have several sloppy shapes.
It is said that this is when the immortal became an immortal, he lost his mortal body and ascended to heaven without his original appearance. Therefore, only the shape of the immortal at the moment of becoming an immortal is preserved for the world to worship.
Xu Tong went to Biluotian and even saw the Biluo Fairy, but she was also like this, with no expression on her face.
Could it be that the figure in this painting has become an immortal?
Xu Tong looked fascinated.
At this time, the figure in the painting suddenly paused. Although it was only for a moment, Xu Tong's heart was shocked and he immediately lowered his head. He felt the figure in the painting and looked towards him.
Even if it was just a quick glance, Xu Tong could not help but feel chilled in his heart, as if he had been stripped naked and looked at everything.
"You two, please burn incense."
Fortunately, at this time, Mei Du sent long incense to the two of them.
Although he is the ancestor of other people's families, the status of Meihua Taoist is extraordinary among the nine sects.
The seven paper arts, the Gao family's corpse exorcism, etc., all came from Plum Blossom Manor. Even though Plum Blossom Taoist was not the original creator, he was definitely the opener.
Just like the Quanzhen Sect was founded by Wang Chongyang, it was also brought to its peak by Qiu Chuji and thus flourished.
If we really count, I am afraid that even if Master Xue Gui comes, I will still offer incense to the Plum Blossom Taoist.
Presenting incense and candles, this visit to Mei's house is a true visit.
"I'll take you to the guest room to rest first, and then get ready. Let's go to the library tonight." Mei Du knew the purpose of Xu Tong's visit to him, so of course he would be particularly concerned about this matter.
“Do you live here??”
Gao Zhuo actually didn't like this place very much. Like Xu Tong, he had too much corpse energy and felt uncomfortable here.
Mei Du obviously expected this.
"No, it's not comfortable to live here. Don't tell me about you. Sometimes I don't want to live at home. There are too many rules."
Mei Du shook his head and led the two of them back. When they reached the back door, they opened it and saw a street. Directly opposite the door was an independent small courtyard.
There is a small road across the small courtyard from Mei's house, almost directly connecting the front door to the back door.
This is the place where their family specializes in receiving strangers from the world.
Two separate two-story buildings, hotel-style living items, and an additional kitchen, everything is perfect.
Even if guests want to go out alone for activities, it doesn't matter. You can walk along the street to the entrance of the village.
Mei Du took the two of them to the room, put down the key to the door, and then went back to prepare the clothes he usually wears to bring to Xu Tong to facilitate Xu Tong's movements at night.
"Boss, you said that we just walked in to such a big Mei family and didn't even see a single expert?"
Lying on the bed, Gao Zhuo couldn't help but complain.
Although the Mei family has completely transformed.
But it can be seen from Mei Du's strength that at least the Mei family has not lost all their housekeeping skills.
They walked in but saw no one at home, not even a gardener.
To be honest, Gao Zhuo was particularly unhappy about this.
Even though the Mei family is their sect, one of them is a grand master and the other is a half-step master. When they officially came to visit, they didn't even receive a single greeting.
So from the moment I walked in, I couldn't help but feel weird.
"Hey, you're still putting on airs. We are here to ask for help, not guests. This is more convenient. If you feel uncomfortable, I will complete the paper craftsman's book tonight and we will go to the progress meeting tomorrow. It's just right.
It’s time to apply to build a team.”
Xu Tong was lying on the chair, but he couldn't help but think of the painting of Plum Blossom Taoist just now.
Are the shadows in that painting really immortal?
If that is really the case, the Mei family is so terrifying. If it were replaced by those sects that have been passed down for thousands of years, even in this era, how terrifying would their background be?
It seems that although the real world is not as bizarre as the world in the script, it is not as simple as people see it.
Xu Tong was thinking, if this is the case, should he also go to Quanzhen Sect? After all, he is considered to be half a Quanzhen disciple.
"Bang! Bang bang!"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
The sound was so sudden that both Gao Zhuo and Xu Tong were stunned. Their eyes met, and their eyes gradually became wary.
With the strength of the two of them, ordinary people would have noticed it before they walked through the door. How come they only heard the knock on the door at this time.
Xu Tong walked to the door calmly: "Who is it?"
I called someone, but no one answered.
Instead, the knocking on the door continued.
"Bang bang bang!"
Seeing this, Xu Tong looked out through the peephole and found that there was no one outside. He gently opened the door and Gao Zhuo's eyes were as wide as a bell. It turned out that there was really no one there.
"no one??"
Gao Zhuo came over and was about to walk out when he was pulled back by Xu Tong. Xu Tong pointed at his feet: "The person who came is not a human!"
Gao Zhuo lowered his head and looked down, and suddenly felt a cool air rising from the soles of his feet. He saw that there was an embroidered shoe with a mandarin duck embroidered in front of the door...
