"Wandering the North Sea in the morning, the sky is green at dusk, eating in the morning and eating in the morning, the clouds are shining, watching the waves rise and disappear, the spring and autumn are like a dream through the ages!"
The old voice appeared, and excitement appeared on the faces of the three veteran Taoists, "This is the Patriarch!"
At this moment, other Taoist priests in the Taoist temple also heard this old voice. The young Taoist priests did not react for a while, but the expressions of the older Taoist priests became as excited as the three old Taoists, and even
He immediately knelt on the ground and shouted excitedly: "It's the Patriarch. This is the poem that the Patriarch originally made. I have seen it among the relics of the ancestors in the mountains behind our Taoist temple."
It is not unreasonable for these older Taoist priests to be so excited. The Patriarch has a very high status in the Shangqing Palace. Even in history, he was once a powerful figure. As a Taoist, the Patriarch once took charge of all metaphysics disciples in the world.
, including monks and nuns, this created a precedent for Taoism to take charge of Buddhism, and is the well-deserved first person.
And the Patriarch in the eyes of these Taoist priests did not live up to their expectations. After the old voice appeared, the thunder above the Shangqing Palace did not fall for a long time. It was just brewing there, as if it was fearing something.
"Leave."
The old voice sounded again, seemingly speaking to the thunder, or some kind of existence behind the thunder. Not long after, the thunder turned into nothingness and disappeared.
"The Patriarch has appeared, and God will surely bless me to go to the Qing Palace."
The Taoist priests of Shangqing Palace cheered, but the expressions of the three old Taoists became solemn. There is no doubt that the thunder will disappear. It must be the Patriarch who took action. But since the Patriarch took action, why don't you want to see them?
On the one hand, it was the same before and it is the same now. Is there something about the three of them that dissatisfied the Grandmaster?
On the top of Mang Mountain, the white-browed old Taoist stood in front of a pine tree that was split in half by thunder and the lower part was charred black. He didn't say a word for a long time until a wisp of mountain wind blew up and ruffled his Taoist robe, and then he sighed.
tone.
"Sure enough, it is a good plan. I know that the old Taoist will not abandon the Shangqing Palace, so I have to take action and stand with you. It seems that the person in charge of the Millennium Bureau this time should be you. You are like a god in predicting things and making clever calculations.
Prestigious.”
The old Taoist seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be telling someone. However, the only thing that responded to the old Taoist was the Taoist robe that was blown by the mountain wind.
…
Beijing, Huaiyin Lane!
Located on the outskirts of Beijing, this place seems to have not been changed by the modernization process, and there are still vague old buildings from the 1980s and 1990s.
This alley is not long, and it is different from other alleys in the capital. In this alley, there are no children chasing and playing, and there are no old people sitting in front of the door to enjoy the cool air or play chess and chat. It is deserted here.
At this moment, at the entrance of the alley, two cars stopped. The one behind was a long van. In the first car, a young woman and two men got out. The woman was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and the second car got out.
A fat man got out of a van.
"Fazi, is this here?"
"Well, now in the whole capital, you can only buy that thing here." The fat man nodded and walked towards the entrance of the alley in front.
"Why do I feel that this alley is so eerie? Is there anything weird about it? Brother Fang, is the person you are looking for reliable?" A young man glanced at the entrance of the alley and expressed his opinion.
These young women and two men were brothers Meng Yao and Meng Fang, plus Mo Yongxing. After the three of them came out of the underground palace, they found themselves at the foot of Mang Mountain, and then returned to the capital.
The reason why Meng Yao wore sunglasses was because he shed too many tears in the underground palace, and his eyes were all red. He wore sunglasses to cover his eyes that were red from crying.
"Don't worry, he is my college classmate, and he is also from the capital, so he knows the basics." Meng Fang replied from the side.
"Then let's go in." Meng Yao didn't say much, raised his legs and walked into the alley, following the fat man.
The three of them followed the fat man and finally stopped in front of a house in the middle of Huaiyin Lane.
"We're here," the fat man pointed at the door of this house and turned back to Meng Yao and the others.
Following the fat man's hand, Meng Yao and the others looked at the door of this house, with doubts in their eyes. In an era when many people now use iron doors or stainless steel doors, there are very few people who use wooden doors.
But the kind of wooden door that uses several wooden boards pieced together and then uses a wooden bar to drive iron nails horizontally has simply disappeared in places like the capital.
Even if it were replaced by some other small places, or at most some dilapidated or uninhabited old houses, such wooden doors would still be retained, because it is too easy for thieves to visit these wooden doors if no one is at home.
And above the wooden door, on the door beam, there is a plaque. This plaque was originally framed with golden tinfoil, but it is obvious that it has been for some time. After being exposed to wind and rain, the golden plaque on it
The tinfoil had already fallen off, and it took a lot of effort for Meng Yao and the others to read the words on the plaque clearly.
"King's Notes".
"Fazi, are you sure you didn't bring it to the wrong place?" Meng Fang frowned and asked the fat man.
"No, this is it. But this place is remote. I accompanied my grandfather here once a few years ago. I don't know if they still do it now."
The fat man also felt unsure. This wooden door and this plaque looked like an old house that had closed down and no one lived in it.
"Let's go in and take a look before we talk."
Meng Yao stretched out his hand and pushed towards the wooden door. With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open a crack. However, what shocked Meng Yao and others was that within the crack of the door, there was a pair of green eyes.
He was staring at them closely.
"Oh my God." Mo Yongxing couldn't help but screamed, and then the four of them saw a small figure flash through the crack in the door and disappear.
"It's a cat." The sharp-eyed fat man standing in the background immediately comforted him. However, judging from his pale face, he had not been scared before.
The wooden door was completely pushed open. This time, the four of them were shocked again. This was a courtyard, and at this moment, in this courtyard, there were large and small coffins, not only of various types of wood, but also
There are also stone coffins and iron coffins.
The color of these coffins is mostly black, but there are also a few reds, and even occasionally rare purples and whites.
After seeing these coffins, Meng Yao's expression returned to normal after a brief shock, and she showed a hint of joy. Seeing the coffins meant that they were not looking for the wrong place.
"No wonder you can just use this broken wooden door. With so many coffins placed in this yard, the thieves were frightened as soon as they entered the door. How dare they go in and steal." Mo Yongxing also muttered at the side.
"It's strange. When I came here last time, there weren't so many coffins in this yard. Why are there suddenly so many coffins in this yard this time? Could it be that Master Wang's business has improved recently?"
The fat man also muttered to himself in confusion, but was denied by Meng Fang. Meng Fang said: "Now that burial of ashes has mostly replaced burial, the business of this coffin shop will only become more and more difficult to do. How can it still be possible?"
It will be better.”
"Is the owner of this shop inside?" Meng Yao didn't care about this. Although she came to buy coffins, these coffins were not what she needed.
"It's inside, I shouted."
The fat man walked forward a few steps and shouted towards the back room: "Master Wang, is Master Wang here?"
There was no response, and the entire courtyard fell into silence.
"Did Master Wang go out?" The fat man turned around and looked at Meng Yao and the others with some embarrassment. This time he and the three of them ran all the way over. If he didn't find Master Wang, it would be a waste of time.
"Listen carefully, is there any sound?" Meng Yao opened his mouth and made a gesture of silence, then shook his ears slightly. When the other three heard what Meng Yao said, they also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
After calming down, the three of them also heard a strange noise, a very slight sound, like the squeaking of a mouse. Then, several people also looked in one direction, and their expressions instantly became ugly.
.
The direction Meng Yao and the others were looking at was a coffin on the left side of the yard. It was a wooden coffin covered in red paint. From the brightness of the red paint, it could be seen that the coffin had not been painted for a long time.
At this moment, this squeaking sound came from the red wooden coffin. Along with this sound, there was also the shaking of the wooden coffin.
That's right, the red wooden coffin is shaking slightly at this moment, as if something is trying to come out of the coffin, and it is constantly struggling.
"This...is there any zombie inside the coffin? We woke it up and it's about to come out now." Mo Yongxing said tremblingly.
"No, even a zombie would not come out in broad daylight." Meng Yao looked up at the sun above, and then slowly walked towards the red wooden coffin, while her right hand was placed on her waist
There was a small backpack in the room, and his fingers were pressed on a dozen talismans inside.
The things in this small backpack are all relics of Qin Yu. When Qin Yu turned into bones in Jiangshan Pavilion, these things were preserved. Meng Yao didn't know what these talismans were, but she had seen them
Qin Yu used the talisman, knowing that the talisman had the power to restrain some strange existences.
"Yao Yao, let me come."
Naturally, Meng Fang couldn't let his sister take risks. At that moment, he picked up a wooden stick by the door and walked cautiously towards the red coffin. Mo Yongxing also gritted his teeth and walked up, giving Meng Fang a look.
Bang!
Mo Yongxing used force to lift the lid of the red wooden coffin. In an instant, a human head emerged from inside. Almost at the same time, Meng Fang reflexively hit the head with a wooden stick.
