The Demon King Thorny Deer carried the coffin, and my companions and I slowly landed next to Long Lake under the escort of the giant dragon.
Master Li and Master Xu were already standing there waiting for us. As soon as we landed, Master Li smiled at me and said, "Chen Yu, that's good. You have made great achievements this time. I am going to promote you in advance.
Nangong Fanxong and Hu Jiashu are Taoists, and of course Wang Xiaoran was promoted early!"
I was surprised and said: "Don't you need to compete with Taoist Master?"
Master Li smiled and said: "Except for the Ten Supernatural Heroes, all the titles are selections, not competitions."
Nangong Fancong asked at this time: "Aren't there five Taoist Masters in a year? Who is the fifth?"
Master Li said: "Kunlun opens the dragon."
as expected.
I asked why there was no Qianyingjun. Master Li walked up to me and patted my shoulder and said, "Because there are not enough places, and he has been returning to the upper world to cultivate since the battle for the Ten Supernatural Heroes. He has not participated in any cases, so
I can’t say enough about him.”
As he spoke, Master Li made a finger gesture, and a white light directly wrapped around the coffin. Then he pulled hard and pulled the coffin into a door that suddenly appeared in front of him.
I know that is the door of life and death for Master Li.
Seeing Master Li dragging him into the Gate of Life and Death, I tentatively asked about the talisman in our hands.
Master Li said: "Although the heavy coffin was pulled into the Gate of Life and Death by me, even in the Gate of Life and Death, the Bone Prophet can still activate the talisman array to kill you."
ah!
Hearing what Master Li said, I pinned my hope on Master Xu. Master Xu waved his hand and said, "Although I have a way to help you, I can't do it because this is the trouble you caused.
You have to bear the fruits of your own sowing. If I interfere forcefully, I will ruin many of your opportunities, have a big impact on your fortune, and even..."
I took Master Xu’s words and said, “It will even cost us our lifespan, right?”
Master Xu smiled and said, "Exactly."
Master Li was snickering next to me, and I said: "This is all left over from Master Li's tricks. Forget it, forget it, let's solve it ourselves!"
Master Xu tapped me on the head and said, "Don't take it seriously, we didn't lie to you."
I said: "I know!"
Indeed, although Master Li and Master Xu said that this matter was a bit "hip-hop", they never lied to me.
Next, Master Li said: "Okay, since we have arrived at Longcheng, you can stay here for a few days. When you have a case, you can leave and take a good rest."
I also nodded to Master Li.
Then Master Li, Master Xu and the dragons here dispersed, and we stayed in Dragon City for a few days.
In the past few days, I drew the talisman rings on my wrists according to my memory and studied the runes carefully, but no matter how much I studied, I couldn't find any clues.
Nangong Fancong saw me twice and said to me: "Don't waste your efforts. Unless you can catch up with Xu Shengzun's strength in a short period of time, you will have no chance no matter how much you study."
Nangong Fancong is not trying to hit me, but is telling a fact.
I just smiled at her and said nothing.
During the past few days in Longcheng, I also called Cai Yan and asked us whether this case was successful and whether it had passed Wang Shengzun's test.
Cai Yan said: "I don't know about this. When you get to the upper realm and have a chance to see Wang Shengzun, he will naturally tell you whether you have passed the test or not."
At the same time, in the past few days, I also went to Master Li and Master Xu to ask what they wanted the coffin for. The two people were very consistent and told me not to meddle in their own business. They also said that those things were not mine.
A strong person should ask, let me go back and practice well.
Of course, I have been wandering around Longhu Lake a lot these days, thinking about chatting with the huge ancient spirit worms under Longhu Lake. After all, there is still an opportunity for me and the snack food there. Unfortunately, our opportunity seems to have not yet arrived. In the past few days,
The Ancient Sun Spirit Insect did not show up.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and we no longer stayed in Longcheng, but were preparing to return to the North China Branch.
After all, Zhang Rui's preparations for going to the upper world were all from the North China Branch, and the main scope of our cases will be mainly there.
When leaving Longcheng, the two masters didn't say anything.
When we arrived in North China, there were no major cases for a while, so we went to Buckwheat Shinian to stay temporarily and at the same time do some simple spiritual practice.
Of course, Hu Jiashu did not return to the East China Branch this time, but went to Buckwheat Stone Mill with us.
Hu Jiashu said that my Master Li had been practicing at Buckwheat Stone Nian for a long time, so it was an honor to practice here.
Xu Qiqi and He Feihong naturally welcomed us very much when we came here to practice, especially Xu Qiqi. She also asked the disciples of the Jinggu Sect to practice with us, treating us as a role model for their practice.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the end of June, and the Taoist titles of me, Nangong Fan, Wang Xiaoran, Hu Jiashu, and Kailong have been officially announced. From now on, no matter where I go, people who are weaker in cultivation than me will have to address me with the title of Taoist Master.
Sound Dao Zun.
Thinking about it, when Wang Tiehan was made a Taoist priest a few years ago, I didn’t know what a Taoist priest was. Now, I think about it, I have become a Taoist priest.
Times have changed!
One day at the end of June, when I had just finished my evening homework and was getting ready to take a rest, my cell phone rang. It was Zhang Rui.
We have been practicing in the Jinggu Sect these days, but Zhang Rui is busy with some trivial matters in the North China Branch, so he is not with us. When he called, he said to me directly: "Chen Yu, we have another case to be busy with.
"
I asked what the case was.
Zhang Rui said: "Let's go to a place called Yulingou and find some jade scales from there!"
I asked curiously: "Yulingou? Fish scales?"
Zhang Rui explained to me: "It's jade, Yulingou, not Yulingou."
"We are also looking for jade scales, not fish scales."
I asked about the specifics of this case, and Zhang Rui asked me to wait for him at the foot of the buckwheat stone mill. He would come over and talk to us in person soon.
I also woke up my companions and went down the mountain overnight.
Knowing that we might have to leave, Xu Qiqi also came to see us off, but she did not see us off the mountain. She stayed at the entrance of the Taoist temple.
A few minutes after we arrived at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Rui rushed over.
After the meeting, Zhang Rui did not talk about the case first, but said to Xiao Xi who was standing behind me: "Come here, your father asked you to go back. I have something important to explain to you."
Xiao Yan frowned and said, "What about this case?"
Zhang Rui said: "You don't need to go to this case, you have more important things to do!"
Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, and then left Buckwheat Stone Nian directly.
After waiting for Xiao Xi to leave, Zhang Rui said: "The Xiao family has obtained some good elixirs. I am afraid that this time they are determined to use the elixirs to feed Xiao Xi to the level of an Earth Immortal."
I frowned and didn't answer his question, but asked directly: "What's going on with the Yulingou case?"
Zhang Rui then said, this is the information, you should take a look at it first!
After that, he took out a few pieces of information from the backpack he carried with him, then handed one to each of us and continued: "We will read it on the road as we walk. By the time we get there, we will have almost finished it."
After receiving the information, I briefly looked at it and found that the beginning of the information was about a businessman who was engaged in antique business.
It happened about seven years ago. The businessman had a hobby, that is, he liked to go into the mountains alone to hunt for goods. The so-called hunting for goods did not mean robbing tombs, but going from house to house to collect old objects. If you were lucky, you could also find treasures.
.
If you pick up something you like in a few years, you will make money. If you are lucky, you may not have to worry about it for the rest of your life.
This businessman's name is Zhan Xinghong, and he is a well-known person in the provincial antique industry. People in the industry call him Mr. Hong. His eyes are very poisonous, and it is said that he can recognize spiritual objects instantly.
The spiritual objects are those used by ascetics, and ordinary antique experts do not have this ability.
One year Zhan Xinghong went into the mountains to look for things and passed by Yulingou. Because he was thirsty, he went to the house of an old man left behind to ask for water.
He chatted with the old man for a few words and got closer to each other. Then he asked the old man if he had any old items at home that he could exchange for money.
It's a coincidence that the old man has a grandson who is only 25 or 26 years old. He was found to have uremia not long after he got married. The family has spent almost all their money on the child and owes a lot of foreign debt, but they still have it.
The difference is more than 100,000, and they are short of money to spend.
So when it comes to old objects that can be exchanged for money, the old man actually went to his house and found a few ancient objects. However, most of them were from the Republic of China period, and a few were from after liberation. They were not worth much and were not even used by anyone.
Willing to accept.
The old man actually went to sell these things, but he failed to sell them.
Zhan Xinghong's eyes were very sharp. After a few glances, he knew that those things were worthless. However, he felt that the old man was pitiful, so he gave the old man a thousand yuan and picked two pieces from the rags to take away.
He originally wanted to just help the old man and didn't expect to make any money.
Zhan Xinghong didn't get much from that shopping trip. When he returned to the store, he threw the two items into the back hall and forgot about them.
But when he got up early on the third day, Zhan Xinghong found that his face felt uncomfortable. When he got up and looked in the mirror, he was frightened. There was a scale growing on his left cheek. It was emerald green.
It's made of jade and grows together with his flesh.
It looks very weird, even a little scary.
This moment frightened Zhan Xinghong. He thought carefully about the recent events. His store did not ship or purchase goods. He should not be contaminated with any dirty things, let alone get such a strange disease!
