It was very windy on the top of the mountain, perhaps because of the evil spirit. When we stood in front of this old man, we always felt a chill on our backs and felt uncomfortable all over.
Zhang Song still maintained his bowing posture and did not stand up. He repeated, "Disciple, please forgive me for interrupting."
"Hey, there's no need to be so formal. I'm not here in Laoshan, and I'm not an elder in Laoshan. I'm just a useless old man living in seclusion." Elder Lingjiu raised his hand and used his pupils, two-thirds of which were occupied by the whites of his eyes.
, looked at us slowly, and then said with a smile, "Zhang Song, you can do it yourself, why did you bring so many juniors to my place?"
Zhang Song hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Uncle, please forgive me. These are my friends. They all respect you very much and want to admire your style."
"There's no need to tell lies to fool me, you just don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for any reason!"
Elder Lingjiu did not accept this trick. He waved his crutch and pointed at Jiang Wenyu, who was standing at the end. A look of indifference flashed across his pockmarked old face, "This Director Jiang should be from the Six Doors."
Human, right? I’m old and too lazy to have official friendships, so I’d like to ask Director Jiang to forgive me.”
Jiang Wenyu didn't dare to ask for help, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Senior is laughing, so I will wait outside the door and won't go in."
"Um!"
Elder Lingjiu nodded, squinted his eyes, and glanced at me and Chen Xuanyi respectively. He pursed his black and purple lips and chuckled, "These two friends are very strange to each other. Could it be that they are also rising stars of the Six Doors?"
?”
When his name was called, Chen Xuanyi and I hurriedly stepped forward and handed over our hands, "Senior, we have met. We are not from the Religious Affairs Bureau. Please don't misunderstand me."
Then, the two of us announced our families, and Elder Lingjiu seemed very calm after hearing this, and just nodded his head, "It turns out that he is the grandson of Lao Mo Lin, and the disciple of Zhenren Canghai, who also came in person.
It’s really embarrassing for me to be a guest here.”
He spoke very politely, but his old, sullen face, dissatisfied with the pockmarks, still had a somewhat indifferent expression.
Obviously, our sudden visit did not seem to satisfy the reclusive Laoshan elder, and he looked at us with some caution and suspicion.
Chen Xuanyi and I were both puzzled. Due to the other's weird temper, we had no choice but to hold back and not say anything more.
Zhang Song hurriedly took out the bronze mirror and handed it to Elder Lingjiu. He bowed and said, "Uncle Master, this disciple is here for this bronze mirror."
"oh?"
Elder Lingjiu remained calm, lowered his head, glanced at the surface of the bronze mirror, rolled his gray eyes and said, "This bronze mirror is not bad. It can condense such evil energy. The owner must have put a lot of thought into it."
Zhang Song lowered his head and said, "It's not a waste of effort, but it's a pity that they are all harmful tricks. This disciple came here to ask his uncle to come out and rescue the many souls trapped in this bronze mirror one by one."
.”
Elder Lingjiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you do this? This evil mirror is almost soul-melting. If you go one step further, you can smelt it into an extraordinary underworld weapon. If you directly untie the arrangement above, the people trapped inside will be
All the living souls are released, and once the mirror spirit is dispersed, the bronze mirror becomes a pile of scrap metal.
Zhang Song reported, "But most of the souls trapped inside are innocent people who have no fault. When we as Taoists encounter such injustices, we should take action to take care of it. This spiritual realm is indeed valuable, but
Its owner’s behavior is too vicious!”
We originally thought that after Zhang Song said these words, he would attract the same hatred of Elder Lingjiu, but unexpectedly, the old man just grinned his lips, let out a sinister smile, and fixed the pair of cloudy eyeballs on Zhang Song's face.
, said in a solemn tone, "Looking at your tone, do you mean to do something wrong and come here to feel uncomfortable?"
"Um?"
Not only did we not expect it, but even Zhang Song looked confused after hearing these words, and he hurriedly asked, "Uncle Master, why did you say this?"
The coffin elder remained expressionless, "Hey, don't you know that the Yin evil runes on the surface of this bronze mirror were actually made by me?"
What?
As soon as these words came out, we were all stunned.
Zhang Song opened his mouth wide and remained silent for a long time before saying, "Uncle Master, this evil mirror is actually your handiwork?"
"Of course it is!" Elder Lingjiu quickly grabbed the bronze mirror, put it in his hand and rubbed it carefully, as if he was enjoying his masterpiece, grinning, "This spiritual realm was originally made by me.
I gave it to that woman and asked her to complete the smelting for me. Now that the living souls have almost gathered, it’s time to get them back, hehe..."
Zhang Song's expression changed and he shouted "No". He pointed at the spiritual realm and said sternly to Elder Lingjiu, "Uncle Master, I didn't expect that this thing was actually made by you. Why did you make this?"
The evil mirror that harms people? Don’t you know that in order to smelt the evil weapon, you must sacrifice 49 souls and create countless murders?”
He spoke harshly, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Elder Lingjiu.
The other party raised his eyelids lightly, glanced at Zhang Song's face, and suddenly laughed and said, "Okay... very good, the young disciple of Laoshan back then has now become more mature and capable, and he actually taught me a lesson."
It’s great to be a master uncle!”
Zhang Song was stunned, and hurriedly raised his hands and said he didn't dare. Then he pointed at the spiritual realm and advised him very sincerely, "Uncle Master, this method of smelting evil weapons is too sinister. It's not that I want to get in trouble with you, but it's my duty."
, we can’t ignore it, please ask Uncle Master to remove the above arrangement, and let me bring back the living souls of these victims, which can also be regarded as an explanation to society."
"What if I refuse?"
Elder Lingjiu shook his old face, lowered his face, shook off the wrinkles on his face and said, "Do you no longer respect me, my uncle?"
"Uncle Master..."
Zhang Song swallowed. He had not yet fully recovered from the shock. He said with a look of disbelief, "This thing is evil. Even if I have no responsibility, I can't tolerate it being successfully smelted. Also, help you."
The people who collected these 49 living souls turned out to be people from the Demon Sect. I would like to ask, Uncle Master, if you have had an affair with these demon sect monsters?"
"What tone do you use to speak to me?"
Elder Lingjiu's face became more and more terrifying. He stared at Zhang Song's uncomfortable eyes and said word by word, "Zhang Song, this is your second-generation disciple. When facing the elders of the sect, you should show it."
attitude?"
Zhang Song's eyelids trembled, and a slight hesitation flashed across his face. In the end, he still shook his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, forgive me. I am not only a second-generation disciple of Laoshan, but also a staff member of the Religious Affairs Bureau. What did you do?"
This thing is really damaging to one's moral character. I think that even if Master knew about it, he would be like me and advise you to stop as soon as possible."
"Oh, now you have brought out your master to suppress me again."
Elder Lingjiu still had that indifferent expression. When he raised his eyelids, there was a coldness in his eyes, "If I tell you that I have already had an affair with Guangfu Hui and have no intention of stopping, what should you do?"
