Chapter 270: Disciples of the Bai family, tracing the evil arts
As expected, he is from the Lu family of my second grandmother Shanshan, just like Lu Yueba!
"Old Ancestor" is the honorific title given to the Five Immortals by their disciples.
Mr. Rong's voice was gentle but firm: "Tell me about it."
Lu Zhengjiu dragged his teeth that were fighting up and down and said word by word:
"I saw my ancestor, trapped in a cage, looking very weak...He, He saw me, and told me to free Him, and he would make me a true disciple and help me attain enlightenment and ascend.
, like Him...I, I was very scared. When He saw me like this, he sighed, and I woke up..."
It took him a while to finish just a few words, and the more he spoke, the more he shook. His two noodles-like arms crawled around his body, and finally he hugged himself tightly.
Rong Lao sighed and said to the person next to him: "Xiao Luo, give him some more nourishing pills... I know, but if this continues, his soul will not be able to bear it. Zhengjiu, sit down and pay attention."
Falling."
The atmosphere on the table became solemn for a moment. One member said loudly: "What does this mean? Haven't we reached a consensus that the Bai family has died?"
Lu Zhengjiu squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "But in my dream..."
"With all due respect, Mr. Lu, I think the fall of Bai Jiaxian was such a heavy blow to you that you keep dreaming about him. You are really a little out of your mind." The man said a little harshly, "Oh, I
My name is Li Yi, the watchman."
Lu Zhengjiu seemed to want to refute, but couldn't find any evidence, so he just stared at him with wide eyes.
Rong Chengyu coughed and said: "Okay, even if Bai Jiaxian has died, it doesn't mean that Zhengjiu's dream has nothing to do with reality. For example, it is a surviving descendant of Bai Jiaxian asking for help from him, or some evil spirit wants to bewitch Bai Jiaxian.
Come out as a disciple."
After hearing this, Lu Zhengjiu's expression softened a little.
"Let's discuss these two things first. Please share your opinions and see how to investigate further. Xiaoxue, please record it."
After the leader spoke, everyone began to whisper and exchange opinions, but for a while no one was willing to raise their hands to speak.
Zhou Shi had just arrived, and sitting next to him was Lu Zhengjiu, who was in a very bad state of mind. No one wanted to talk to him for the time being. It just so happened that he could review the information he had just heard——
"When I was incarnating as a ghost in Abi Hell, I saw Budu's crimes. On several occasions, he was running around trying the method of 'closing the eyes of gods and Buddhas'. I didn't know that he and the Nineteen Eyeless God Statues investigated by the Kowloon Hall
How many overlaps are there... Speaking of "Gods and Buddhas closing eyes", can only Fudu know how to use it? If the eyeless statue in front of you was made by someone else, that would be troublesome...
"It's difficult to investigate this thing. Should I ask Budu to come out and identify it himself?"
Zhou Shi shook his head, suppressed this crazy idea, and glanced at Lu Zhengjiu.
"Jiulongtang will think that he has gone insane because of the death of Chu Maxian, but I think he is more normal than Lu Yueba and everyone in Qijia Village, uh, in some respects. Lu Yan speculates that Bai Jiaxian may be
He was replaced by the corpse-carrying man, but he just lost his immortal position, and it is still possible to live in the human world. So from Lu Zhengjiu's dream, can we find some clues about the corpse-carrying man?"
Seeing that no one raised their hands to express their opinions for a long time, Rong Chengyu tapped the table and said: "Zeng Xiao, don't you say a few words?"
A tall man immediately stood up, bowed slightly to Mr. Rong, opened his mouth and said:
"You may remember that the earliest eyeless statue was brought by me, Zeng Xiao. Later, I tried to investigate along this route, but I couldn't say I gained anything. Now that Mr. Rong has spoken, then
I will take this opportunity to share with you some of the information I collected.
"As you all know, the reason why these nineteen eyeless statues were brought here is because very powerful ghosts with strange abilities appeared around them.
"After my investigation, I found that these statues have different origins, but most of them are old statues discarded by some Taoist temples, picked up by villagers in the countryside and then enshrined. As for the places where they were picked up, they are all around the capital.
"Although almost all the villagers who picked up the statues died tragically at the hands of evil spirits, I recently found a person who picked up the eighteenth eyeless statue but escaped death because he went out to attend a funeral."
Zhou Shi felt that the members except Lu Zhengjiu suddenly became energetic and felt excited about this breakthrough.
No wonder Rong Lao asked him to speak!
Zeng Xiao paused and continued: "He is a wheat collector, which is a person who goes around looking for wheat fields during the harvest season to help harvest wheat in exchange for reward. According to what he said, he was on his way home from harvesting wheat in other places.
I picked up a statue of Laojun that had been discarded due to damage from a Taoist temple beside the road, and brought it back to the village ancestral hall to worship it."
"It means there is something wrong with that Taoist temple!" Li Yi, the watchman, reasoned excitedly.
Zeng Xiao nodded slowly, with a troubled expression on his face.
"But when I looked for Taoist temples based on his memories, I found nothing. Villagers nearby said they had never heard of a Taoist temple nearby."
"ah?"
The clue that I just saw was cut off in my hand.
Zeng Xiao also looked a little unwilling. "However, Namaike remembered the name of the Taoist temple, which is called Chuixia Temple."
"What's the use of this? The signboard can be replaced by anything. The key is the person who made the eyeless statue." Li Yi shook his head.
This guy really likes to throw cold water... Zhou Shi slandered.
"Budu arrived in Jiangdu at least last summer and began to lay out a plan to break into Suolong City. At least not all of these nineteen eyeless statues are his handiwork..."
He then thought about whether he should tell the story about "Gods and Buddhas closing their eyes"?
Frankly speaking, this was the first time he attended the Kowloon Hall Meeting. He didn't want to be too active. He preferred to be an observer and learn more about Bai Jiaxian, the God of Plague.
What's more, "Gods and Buddhas close their eyes" involves his time travel. This is the deepest secret in his heart, and he absolutely does not want anyone to know.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But after listening for a long time, he found that even though the Jiulong Hall gathered experts, it was still stuck in a dead end with limited information.
Moreover, the people in the Jiulong Hall who have been walking outside for a long time must be cautious and sophisticated in their minds. Zhou Shi wants to listen more and talk less, and the same is true for others.
"And judging from Luan Chongxiang's tight-lipped attitude when answering my questions, the Kowloon Hall has not really trusted me yet, and they used this eyeless statue to test my reaction. Maybe they know a lot about my experience in Jiangdu...
"This meeting has been held so far, and we haven't talked about anything related to the God of Plague. Moreover, Rong Chengyu doesn't care about the absence of another newcomer. Maybe I am dispensable in his eyes...
"Huh? Come to think of it, why don't I make use of these... No, no, no, this is too risky, but if it can... and Zeng Xiao can kill a ghost on his own, which shows that his strength is not inferior to mine, then maybe..."
For the sake of long-term considerations, he thought about what should be said and what should not be said, and then he said:
"I know something about the Eyeless Statue."
The other people's eyes suddenly fell on him.
At the same time, he kept observing Jin Sansao's expression. Sure enough, he saw her smiling at him.
Sure enough, this is also part of the assessment... Zhou Zhi complained in his heart about the cunningness of these colleagues.
"You must have heard about what happened in Jiangdu on New Year's Eve. I happened to be in Jiangdu at the time and saw with my own eyes a demon using an eyeless statue to create ghosts. This demon seemed to be well versed in this art called 'Gods and Buddhas with eyes closed'
He has committed crimes many times before, and many of the eyeless statues you have found may have been made by him."
This time, Zhou Shi saw Rong Chengyu folding his hands and listened very seriously.
Zeng Xiao said: "So, that demon is the mastermind of the Jiangdu case?"
"Exactly."
"What happened to the demon?"
Zhou Shi's breathing was a little rapid. He knew that he was going to take a risk next, and he hoped that the reward was worth it.
"At that time, I and many outsiders besieged him, forcing him to transform himself into a devil in a critical moment. At this moment, it is attached to my body."
