Watching Chang Jing leave his sight, Zhang Huanming's expression became even colder.
"Caught up, or not?"
After he left Jiangdu, he traveled day and night, all on foot, over mountains and ridges, walking on secluded paths and trying not to come into contact with anyone.
The experience at Wangjiang Tower in Jiangdu was so profound that he would be extremely vigilant whenever he saw people on the road.
According to Tian Xin'an, the owner of Wangjiang Tower and the head of the Tian family who has guarded Suolong City for generations, the method of sending corpses is called "happy at first sight".
Anyone who sees the corpse-carrying man may be changed by him from the inside out into another person, another person who has appeared in his memory - even if this person is dead, or even the corpse-carrying man himself! p>
If what Tian Xinan said is true, what is even more terrifying is yet to come...
"His target is your master!"
Along the way, whenever Zhang Huanming closed his eyes, he would have nightmares about his master turning into a cadaver in front of him.
However, the method of delivering the corpse cannot be used casually, at least he needs to be present in person. Since Guiyun Zhenren has always lived in the mountains, if you want to attack him, you must go through other Wudang disciples.
So Zhang Huanming asked Chang Jing to take the other junior disciples in Yuxu Palace away. First, because they could not contact the chief, and it was unlikely that he would be the target of the Corpse Master. Second, because once the Corpse Master showed up, a chaotic battle would begin.
It's easy to get hit by them, making the scene even more chaotic.
"If the leader is still in seclusion, he can't control what happens on the mountain. What if..."
He thought for a while, took out a talisman from his pocket, stared at it for a while and then stuffed it into his mouth.
If the master has been tricked, then he must at least avoid the worst result - even at the cost of his life.
After reciting the Pure Heart Sutra twice, he walked towards the depths of Yuxu Palace.
This Yuxu Palace was built under the decree of the third emperor of Daliang during his reign. It is the largest and newest building complex on Wudang Mountain. Thirteen of his master's true disciples all lived here.
Yuxu Palace is so big that it is so quiet when there are no pilgrims going up the mountain, shrouding it with an ominous meaning.
He was sweating profusely as he walked, and when he raised his head, he saw the three characters "无为ju" hanging high under the eaves.
Arrived.
He patted his clothes habitually, just like he had done every time he visited Master in the past fifteen years.
Only this time, the person waiting inside may not be his master.
He took a deep breath, jumped up to the nineteen steps in two leaps, flew up and kicked towards the door——
Unexpectedly, the door suddenly opened wide from left to right, and a thin old man appeared behind the door.
"Oh, who will be the first to dream - ah!"
After a quarter of an hour, Wuwei is inside.
"Master, are you really okay?"
"Hmph, how can you shake my body-protecting Qi with just brute force? But your feet were not injured by me, right?"
"No... yes, yes. Master's internal strength is so powerful that my disciple's legs are numb."
Incense was burning in the simple living room, and Zhang Huanming and Guiyun were sitting upright on futons.
It's just that the immortal Guiyun Master Zhang Heli has a distinct shoe print on his face, and hemostatic cotton is stuffed in both nostrils.
"I didn't expect you to come back so soon. How about going to Jiangdu?"
"In reply to Master, my disciple will come down the mountain this time..."
Seeing that the master was still the same master, Zhang Huanming relaxed a little and began to talk about his experience in Jiangdu.
When talking about subduing the catfish monster, he couldn't help but said: "That talisman is really not that easy to use. Master, can you write me a few more, so that I can have another way to save my life..."
"Do you think the talisman is just a banknote that you can use immediately? How can you use it so easily without a teacher setting up an altar behind your back to help you practice? Go on."
"...When Shopkeeper Zhou released me from the Nine-Bone Lamp, I realized that the demon was dead without crossing, and the Jiangdu catastrophe was over."
"Well, it turns out that I calculated that the master who would take action to protect Jiangdu City is Mr. Mo. That Budu fell into his hands and died unjustly."
"Well, Master, I know that Mr. Mo is quite famous in the outer sect, but I don't know his background. It's unheard of for the demon to not cross over. Can you please explain it?"
Zhang Heli took a sip of tea and said: "Xuanmen does not talk about external affairs. This is a rule. Wudang, an external sect, is a famous and upright sect. This is especially true. However, I am from Buddhism, so I can talk to you about it.
"Budu's real name is ominous, and he changed this title himself. He was ordained as a monk at Daqing Temple in the capital. It is said that he has a very high level of understanding. He was able to teach the Dharma within five years of becoming a monk, and he became famous among Buddhists.
"But he became obsessed with it, secretly learning outer sects, and even practiced it with human blood sacrifices around the capital, which aroused the suspicion of the Daqing Temple. Just when the Daqing Temple was about to clean up its doors, he actually surrendered to the abbot, hoping to be forgiven." "Put down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately?" Zhang Huanming sighed.
"Yes, but the abbot believed that he should pay the price for what he did when he put down the butcher knife, so he was handed over to the Zhenyin Division for disposal.
"He begged for mercy but failed, so he displayed his evil skills and killed more than 20 monks who protected the temple. Even his master, Master Huijing, died in his hands. Fortunately, the abbot had great magical power and he fought with him until both sides were injured.
It's a pity that by the time the reinforcements from the Zhenyin Division arrived, he had already fled.
"After that, he continued to practice evil arts, wandered around the world, and committed numerous crimes. Fortunately, he has received retribution."
"Fortunately, but what happened next..."
He told the story of his encounter with the corpse-carrying man in Wangjiang Tower again. Unexpectedly, the master was uncharacteristically standing up this time and pulled out a stick of incense from the incense burner.
"Master, this is..."
"Don't make any noise!" Zhang Heli held the incense in his hand, bowed several times to the window, and muttered something.
After a while, his brows relaxed.
"Fortunately, the leader is fine."
"Head? Master, Tian Xinan said that the target of the corpse-carrying man is you!"
"Aren't I doing a good job?" Zhang Heli knelt down again, "The corpse-carrying man probably wanted to use me to 'replace' the leader and steal his cultivation to help him become an immortal. But I have confirmed it just now.
The leader is still in seclusion, and if he does not have contact with the outside world, there is nothing he can do about it."
"I thought the leader was very powerful."
"Not only is he powerful, he should be the person with the highest cultivation level in the world. He is probably only one chance away from becoming an immortal, so the corpse-carrying man covets him.
"I will arrange things on the mountain, and I will protect the leader. As for you, your next goal is the capital."
……
"Shopkeeper, the city is in front of you!"
"It's great, I can finally take a shower!"
"Let's find a restaurant first! Eat and drink well and then rest!"
Yin Bing Dashu reported: "Shopkeeper, the city in front is called Yinling City."
