The place where the evil spirit emanates is not a certain city or a certain village.
Rather, it was near a post station on an official road not far from a nearby county.
Because this place is an important traffic thoroughfare to and from the capital, there are many motorcades and pedestrians passing by on weekdays.
But today, a large motorcade came near the inn. There were dozens of horses parked in the stables of the inn. Moreover, the saddles and reins were equipped with something that only the top wealthy families could afford. So,
The carriages parked nearby are also exquisite and luxurious, and there are many carriages inside and outside the inn.
It was guarded by many elite soldiers wearing armor and carrying long swords at their waists.
It seemed that some important person was passing through this place and happened to stop here to rest.
"Is this right here?"
A white and handsome dragon colt seemed to appear out of thin air and stood on a nearby mound.
Li Xiuyuan sat on the horse and looked in the direction of the inn.
Sure enough, there was a purple energy coming out of the inn, and there must be a wealthy person resting there. His divine eye skills could not see through everything that happened inside, and it was difficult to find out even if he used Xuanguang skills.
Like the princes, generals, emperors and queens in the human world, many spells cannot be cast on them.
It's just like Li Xiuyuan, as a saint in the world, can cover up all Taoism.
It's just that their lives are not as precious as Li Xiuyuan's, so they can only block some detection spells. If they cast spells face to face, they can still be effective.
"Go and have a look first."
Li Xiuyuan took away the dragon colt, put on a Taoist robe, disheveled his hair, restrained his aura, and prepared to go to investigate.
It is always suspicious to be approached by strangers. If you pretend to be a Taoist, you can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
These are some experiences that senior brother Teng Yunzi taught him.
The Song Dynasty attached great importance to Taoism because of the Daojun Emperor, so Taoist priests were a highly respected profession.
Of course, the prerequisite is a capable Taoist.
Those liars who have no ability are still very disgusting.
Li Xiuyuan, dressed like a Taoist, didn't shy away and walked straight towards the inn.
Before he even walked in, he was spotted by a silent guard.
This guard was wearing brand new armor and had a sharp sword hanging from his waist. He was tall, strong and strong. At first glance, you could tell that he was not an embroidered pillow, but a real martial artist who dared to kill people.
And its attire is also the imperial court's standard armor.
The master who dares to dress up like this and walk on the official road with great fanfare must have a prominent status. If Li Xiuyuan is not mistaken, he should be a soldier of a certain prince and noble, just like the soldiers raised by Li Liangjin's family in Jinling City.
.
"I've seen this Taoist priest. Is this Taoist priest going to the inn to rest? If so, I'm sorry. My master is resting inside and it's not convenient to disturb him. Please ask the Taoist priest to stay somewhere else to rest."
The guard came over, cupped his fists and saluted Li Xiuyuan with a somewhat polite tone.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "I didn't come here to stay overnight or have a rest. It's just that when I passed by this place in the clouds and fog, I saw a demonic aura rising into the sky, and there were screams and screams.
So out of curiosity, I looked with my third eye and saw the place where the evil spirit was coming from.
However, there was a purple aura surrounding him, which obscured the poor Taoist's Dharma eyes, making it impossible to see him kindly."
"So I just came here for a special trip, hoping to find out which spirit is lingering here to cause trouble."
"What, there are monsters here?" The guard was startled and suddenly became nervous.
They protect people and are good at resisting thieves. They will still be scared when encountering ghosts and ghosts. This is the same as Tieshan, Ma Dong and Niu Er in the past. They are not afraid of people, but afraid of ghosts.
Although the ghost can't hurt them, fear is still fear.
This is a deep-rooted thought in the hearts of the people and has been so for thousands of years.
Li Xiuyuan said: "I am a practicing person, and I dare not lie about such important matters. Although your master is a prince, general, and minister, and is not afraid of evil spirits, but this evil spirit is really unusual.
If possible, I would like to be accommodating and allow Pindao to investigate. If it is
If nothing happens, then of course it's best. If there really are monsters and ghosts accompanying you all the way, it would be better for me to take action and capture them, so as not to cause harm to the world."
The guard immediately changed his expression and said: "Taoist priest, please wait a moment, let me go and notify the master right now."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and left.
Li Xiuyuan thought to himself: "Sure enough, the status of a Taoist is much more useful than the status of a scholar. There are indeed many conveniences when traveling outside."
However, the respect of Taoists was earned from the many virtuous Taoists who defeated demons and saved people. Without them, Taoists would not be deeply respected in the Song Dynasty.
Although he lied a little, his identity as a Taoist was not false.
The Taoist inheritance of the Zhenger Ba Jing.
The guard walked into the inn with a hurried look, and was about to report, but was stopped by a man who looked like a gentleman.
"Stop, why did you rush in so hurriedly? Don't you know that the young prince is busy now? If it disturbs the young prince's enjoyment, see if you can take the responsibility." Mr. Liu scolded.
"Mr. Liu, if you don't have anything important to do, how dare you disturb the young prince? Mr. Liu, a Taoist priest came outside just now. He said that there was only one goblin here, and the evil spirit was so strong that the Taoist priest was coming here to find him.
Catch that spirit. I don't dare to make any decisions, so I came here to pass.
Report." The guard saluted and said respectfully.
Taoist?
Mr. Liu sneered: "When people in the mountains see such a rich carriage and horse as the young prince, it is like a robber seeing gold and silver. Who knows whether he is a real Taoist or a fake Taoist. There is no need to report this to the young prince."
, the young prince is busy now, let me go and have a look, if he is a true Taoist, then he
However, treat each other with courtesy. If he is a fake Taoist, he will be captured and killed immediately. If he is really capable, he probably won't be afraid of our steel swords and sharp arrows. Go ahead and prepare some good hands and secretly prepare bows and crossbows to prevent any mistakes.
Seeing that there are only ten days left for the trip to the capital, the safety of the young prince is not in danger.
There is a loss.”
"Sir, that's right." The guard nodded immediately.
soon.
Mr. Liu walked out of the inn and saw the Taoist the guard outside the inn mentioned.
Take a look.
But I saw that although this Taoist was wearing a Taoist robe and his hair was disheveled, he could not hide his tall figure and strong body.
If it was a robber pretending to be a robber, he must be a man of great martial arts.
Immediately, before Mr. Liu talked with him, he was already wary.
"My dear, Liu Sheng, I have met this Taoist priest, but I don't know his Taoist name? Where is the fairy mountain where he practices?" He bowed before him with a thorough etiquette.
Li Xiuyuan was already prepared in his heart. He smiled and said: "The poor Taoist Teng Yunzi, who worships the Taoist Immortal, practices in the Immortal Mountain in Changshou Town. I traveled here today and saw a mysterious evil spirit here when I passed by. I came here to check it out.
Tan, I just didn’t expect that there were so many guards here, stopping Pindao
, so I also hope that the noble people here can make it easier and be accommodating."
Since he is pretending to be a Taoist, he must behave like a Taoist. Being polite and humble is the most basic thing a Taoist should do when walking outside.
Only with this kind of attitude will it be less likely to offend people and will it not cause karma.
