Chapter 338 Five Immortals
Author: Half Life of a Caterpillar
…
"If I'm not wrong, the person who fought against Li Mu must have learned some evil ways from somewhere."
"Did you know that there are five immortals in the north, namely the fox immortal, the yellow immortal, the white immortal, the willow immortal and the gray immortal."
The side room of Liao Zhen's house was brightly lit in the middle of the night. Inside, Ah Xing and Li Mu were sitting on stools, listening to Zhang continue to give lectures.
"Judging from the method he used when he finally escaped, it was exactly the method used by Huang Xian, one of the five immortals."
"Weasels are greedy but timid by nature. Under normal circumstances, they will not take the initiative to go against people, but the most important thing is that this is the south, not the north!"
"Master, what is the difference between the south and the north?"
Ah Xing was a little confused when he heard this. Zhang Jiehe talked a lot, but he still didn't talk about the connection between the murderer and this Laoshizi Huangxian, but this also affected his curiosity about Zhang Jieshe's words.
"Because Weasel has no followers in the south, so we won't accept his tactics at all."
He knew something about Li Mu, but not much. He only knew that weasels had such a high status in the north because he had read some such books before.
"That's right, the weasels in the north are named Huangxian, and they are worshiped with incense, so they can be regarded as the kind of spirits that have survived. With the blessing of incense, their path of cultivation can be said to be unimpeded."
"But the weasels in the south don't have this kind of treatment. Therefore, in order to attract believers, they use their own skills as bargaining chips."
Zhang Chengyi didn't expect that Li Mu knew about Huang Xian, so he couldn't help but glance at him in surprise, and then continued.
It is said that people compete for a breath, and Buddha competes for a stick of incense. This sentence explains everything.
Weasels are a huge group, both in the north and the south. Compared to the lively and lively Huangxian in the north, the weasels in the south can only rely on hiding in the mountains to practice, and occasionally run out to find one or two unlucky people to ask for a title.
As a result, they are naturally envious of the Northern Huangxian, and naturally want to imitate the practices of the Northern Huangxian to gain followers.
But the difference between the north and the south is too big. Taoism's influence in the north is not as good as in the south. In the south, there are Taoist Zhengyisanshan, so the results can be imagined. So it is understandable that they use the exercises as bargaining chips for the sake of their believers.
"So you are saying that the murderer in this town is a follower of the Weasel?"
"That's right!"
After listening to Zhang Jieri's explanation, Li Mu's eyes flashed. He recalled the scene of fighting with that man in his mind, and found that the opponent's hand attack was not the common eagle claw technique, and the one that finally allowed him to escape.
A puff of black smoke corresponds to a weasel.
If explained this way, it would make sense. Weasel farts are not only smelly, but are also toxic and can make people who inhale them dizzy.
Judging from the situation at that time, if Li Mu did not retreat and was enveloped in the black gas and inhaled the gas, the opponent would inevitably seize the opportunity to fight back. By then, he might be the latest victim in this town, but this is not the case.
This explains why there is obviously no demonic aura on the murderer's body.
"Master, if that's the case, then if we catch the weasel, won't we know who it is?"
Ah Xing suddenly had an idea, clasped his hands together and said excitedly to Zhang Jieri.
Since it is possible that the murderer got the skill from the weasel, then the weasel must know who he gave it to. As long as they find this weasel, won't they know who is killing people in the town?
Azing's idea was also approved by Zhang Jiijie, and he asked the two of them to find someone here tomorrow to ask if there is a weasel temple here.
……Its daybreak……
Perhaps due to the recent serial heart-robbing murder cases, the roosters here no longer crow in the morning, and the roosters have become wilted and huddled in the corner with their heads hanging down early in the morning.
"Good morning, Taoist Priest!"
"Good morning, Brother Liao, what's wrong with you?"
In the early morning, after only sleeping for an hour, Li Mu got up to do his homework. As soon as he walked out of the door, he heard someone saying hello to him. So when he looked back, he saw Liao Zhen with a bruised nose and swollen face, limping around while holding a bowl of chicken food.
.
"Oh, don't mention it. I woke up last night, and I didn't know whose stick was in place. I stepped on it and fell, and I sprained my foot."
Liao Shen said with a depressed look. According to him, after the death last night, the people in the house followed him out with a stick, and they didn't put the stick away when they came back.
Since the first murder case occurred in the town, Liao Shen has developed a problem. He urinates a lot at night. When he went to the latrine at night, he didn't pay attention to the stick on the ground and stepped on it and fell.
"It's quite serious. It's all swollen. I have some medicinal wine and I'll give it to you later to wipe it!"
Li Mu looked at Liao Huan's ankle. There was a large area of redness and swelling visible to the naked eye. No wonder he was limping when walking.
"No, no, I've already applied the medicine. It'll be fine in two days."
After hearing this, Liao Shen quickly waved his hand to indicate no need. He had already applied the medicine as soon as possible. Li Mu could indeed smell the stupor medicine on him. Because he still had important things to do today, he did not focus on this issue.
Too many stops.
After Li Mu left, Liao Shen continued what he had just done. He patted down the chicken food in the basin and then went straight back to the room. After he left, the people in the chicken coop raised their heads and looked around warily.
Only then did he dare to walk towards the feeding basin with careful steps.
…
"Where are we going to find it?"
When Li Mu and Ah Xing met, it was almost nine o'clock in the morning. The two of them muttered for a while but had no idea.
After all, they had just arrived here less than a day ago. Is there a Huangxian Temple in the town and where is it? They have no clue about these questions.
The two of them walked around Zhangdou Town but did not find the Huangxian Temple they were looking for. At this time, due to the murder case in Zhangdou Town, no one was seen on the street. In addition, they were afraid of alerting others, so they did not dare to ask anyone.
Frankly speaking, I am looking for Huangxian Temple.
When the two of them walked back with disappointment on their faces, they found a person walking on the street in front of them. They were a little surprised when they saw this.
You must know that even if someone wants to go out on the street at this time, they will always go in groups, not alone. I don't know if this person dares to go out alone at this time, but I don't know if he is brave or lacks the ability.
"Hey, is it him?"
Li Mu couldn't help but be startled when he saw his appearance clearly. The man walking on the street was the young man who dared to charge with a hatchet last night, that is, the watchman's son.
The other party was obviously a little surprised to see the two of them, but he just nodded and left without any intention of talking to each other.
The two looked at each other and followed the young man in a tacit understanding. Soon they saw him entering a blacksmith's shop, and soon there was the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong banging coming from inside.
"It's really weird that you still have the energy to strike at a time like this!"
Ah Xing muttered as he listened to the knocking sound inside. Li Mu frowned and looked at the ajar door of the iron shop. After a while, he went straight up and opened the door and walked in.
