"This man's cultivation is profound and unpredictable. As you saw just now, I couldn't restrain him even with the flower basket. The three-color divine light behind him gave me a mysterious and unusual feeling.
When the divine light lit up, my soul trembled faintly. If there was a fight, I'm afraid I wouldn't be his opponent."
"So powerful?" the parrot said in surprise.
"So, if you see him again in the future, hide as far away as you can. If you can't escape, just be obedient and do whatever he asks you to do."
"I'm not going there either. I'll just stay by your side."
"Be good." The woman in red robe smiled and reached out to gently touch the head of the parrot on her shoulder, staring outside.
"Why did Yuan Shicheng let him come here?"
A hundred miles away, in a barren mountain.
An old man with white beard and hair shuttled through the mountains as fast as a monkey, extremely fast, which was completely inconsistent with his age.
He found a cave in the valley, got in, and found stones to seal the entrance of the cave.
He reached out and took out several crumpled talismans from his sleeves, just about to stick them on the hole.
At this moment, there was a roar and the stone at the entrance of the cave collapsed.
A handsome monk appeared outside the cave and looked at him with a smile.
"Hello, Lao Yuan."
"Go away, you stupid bald donkey, you almost killed me this time!" Yuan Shicheng cursed when he saw the monk.
"Be calm and don't be impatient. Excessive qi will damage the liver. How can I start talking about this?"
"You, you actually asked me to plot against a human being! Don't you want to kill me?" Yuan Shicheng jumped up and pointed at the monk's nose and cursed.
"Human Immortal, did you read that correctly?" The monk was quite surprised after hearing this.
"Although my other abilities are poor, my ability to judge people is one of the best." Yuan Shicheng said.
"That's true, immortal, I really didn't expect it, but it's better this way!" The monk clapped his hands, then squeezed away the stone and entered the cave.
"What are you doing?!" Yuan Shicheng hurriedly put the fallen stones back up.
"You go away quickly, I want to avoid the limelight here."
"Little monk is here to accompany you."
"Who wants you to accompany me? You bald donkey. You are not an ordinary evil-minded person. I ask you to torment others!"
"He went to the Empress Temple?"
"Nine times out of ten, he has gone. I guess he has come out of there now and is looking for me in the city!" Yuan Shicheng said.
"Don't be so afraid, he can't find you." The monk said with a smile.
"Why do you plot against such a person?" Yuan Shicheng said.
For such a person, it is not easy to know his whereabouts, and calculating him involves great risks.
"Buddha said it cannot be said, it cannot be said." The monk said with a smile.
"Are you leaving or not?"
"Not leaving."
"Okay, stay here. I will stay here for at least a month."
"The martial arts that the young monk is best at is meditating."
"It's true that I have you. I've been unlucky for eight lifetimes to have known you."
As Yuan Shicheng spoke, he pasted the talisman on the rocks at the entrance of the cave. The light shone, and the broken stones actually came together and turned into a single rock.
This rock is so integrated with the surrounding rocks that it is impossible to tell from the outside that there was a cave here.
Then he arranged some magic circles around the cave.
"Can you teach the young monk the method of concealing the secret of heaven?"
"Why don't you still use my teaching to see if you can master it?" Yuan Shicheng glared at the monk.
The handsome monk just smiled after hearing this.
Hey, Yuan Shicheng sighed and sat on the ground,
"I'm afraid I'm going to have to change my face again this time."
"Thank you." The monk beside him said these two words after a long silence.
"Although I don't know why you want to plot against him, I advise you that this is the last time. Stay away from him in the future, as far away as you can!" Yuan Shicheng.
"Oh, why?"
Yuan Shicheng stretched out his hand and drew a circle in mid-air.
"It shouldn't take long for him to step out of this circle."
After hearing this, the smile on the monk's face suddenly faded, and was replaced by a look of deep shock.
"So, he has found his own way?!"
"Didn't you find it too? Your body is as pure as glass, and nothing can touch it!"
The handsome monk smiled after hearing this.
"That road is not that easy."
"Xiao Jian is preparing to make elixirs again." The monk changed the subject with one sentence.
"One pill of the Four Symbols turned him into an immortal in one step, and he gained three hundred years of life out of thin air. He is still not satisfied? Why is he so eager?"
"He summoned some monks from other places to come to Beijing to discuss Taoism. The person who went to Faxing Temple was Zen Master Yuanchang."
"Your master?" Yuan Shicheng was stunned after hearing this.
"I think he may not be able to return to Faxing Temple."
"Is this a conspiracy?"
"It's not a conspiracy, it's a conspiracy. Xiao Jian invited them to the capital. In addition to discussing Taoism, there were also two stone tablets for them to understand."
"The stone tablet, could it be the Bahuang tablet?" Yuan Shicheng was surprised after hearing this.
"Yes, it's the Bahuang Monument. Lao Yuan, are you tempted too?"
"Look at the vast sea and appreciate the beauty of the past, and travel across the world to see the eight wilderness!
The Eight Desolations Monument, the Immortal Monument, is said to record ancient immortal texts and contain the secrets of immortality. Some people even say that all kinds of magic and magical powers in the world originated from the Eight Desolations Monument.
That's the origin of monks. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a treasure? A monk wouldn't be tempted?"
"Move." The monk beside him nodded.
"Xiao Jian will also take out such treasures for others to understand, and tell the world that that guy must have ulterior motives. In all likelihood, it is for immortality."
Huh? Yuan Shicheng was suddenly stunned.
On the surrounding stone walls, the talisman he had carved earlier suddenly shone with a faint aura.
"Someone is doing divination and counting me?" Yuan Shicheng opened his eyes.
"It's him!"
"Does he still know the method of divination?" Yuan Shicheng chanted the spell gently, and talismans floated from his body, forming three circles of light, surrounding him from top to bottom.
At this time, in a city a hundred miles away.
Wang Zhe is doing divination with his eyes closed.
Just now he came to the city, walked around, and found that Yuan Shicheng had indeed left.
"Hey, I can't believe that something helped him hide the secret."
Wang Zhe's divination and calculation techniques were actually unable to detect where Yuan Shicheng was hiding.
"Presumably he is proficient in physiognomy, so he naturally uses Dongxie's method to conceal the secrets of heaven, old guy."
Although Yuan Shicheng was not found, he was not in a hurry to leave the city.
He inquired about relevant information about the Fang family in the city,
Where is the best place to ask for information? Of course, it's a restaurant. There are many people coming and going here, so you can get a little bit of information out.
The waiters in the shop, in particular, are generally very well-informed, and if there is any disturbance in the city, they will know about it soon.
"Sir, please ask the Fang family. They are one of the most wealthy families in our city. There are still two adults in the Fang family serving as officials in the court.
Their ancestors once followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world, and even made great achievements and were granted the title of Marquis!"
The waiter told all the things he knew about pouring beans through bamboo tubes. There were not many people in the store and it wasn't busy at that time, so he just took it as a relief.
"Master Hou, are you following Xiao Jian?"
After asking clearly about the location of the Fang family, Wang Zhe went to the Fang family's house after dinner.
This is a very large house with two stone lions in front of the door.
"Laifu, wait outside for me to come." Wang Zhe took one step into the air and entered Fang Mansion the next moment.
Wang Zhe's spiritual consciousness instantly swept across the mansion. He already knew the layout of the mansion, how many people there were, and what they were doing.
After walking through the courtyard, Wang Zhe came to an ancestral hall. In the houses of these wealthy families, there are usually ancestral halls dedicated to ancestors.
Wang Zhe came to the outside of the ancestral hall and opened the door. In the ancestral hall, there were tablets dedicated to the ancestors of the Fang family, and in the middle was a portrait.
A man was wearing an official robe and had an extraordinary bearing. From the looks of it, he must be the ancestor of the Fang family.
Not long after he came in, he heard footsteps, and someone was walking towards this direction.
Wang Zhe disappeared in a flash.
After a while, two people came in, an old lady in her seventies, wearing silk and satin, with an extraordinary air.
A middle-aged man in his forties was supporting her at the side. He seemed to be her junior.
They entered the ancestral hall, respectfully offered incense to their ancestors, kowtowed and knelt down.
"Mr. Lu is gone?" the old man asked.
"Left half an hour ago."
"What did he say?"
"Our family has been cursed, and the curse may have penetrated deep into our blood."
"Bloodline?"
"Anyone with the blood of the Fang family will be cursed. Death after marriage is just the beginning," the man said.
