As the black talisman was destroyed, it was like a nightmare world was shattered, and the three of them returned to the outside world.
After returning to reality, the first thing Jin An did was to take out the red gourd, unplug the gourd, and pour out a black talisman folded into a triangle shape.
"What is this?" Fatty Li came over curiously.
"The evil talisman brought out from the human mirror." Jin An said as he opened the black talisman.
At this time, the black Yin Talisman has lost its Yin energy and has become ordinary.
Fatty Li asked: "What is written on it?"
"The birth date of a person." Jin An handed the black talisman to Fatty Li to satisfy his curiosity.
"Is this the birthday of the evil ghost who wants to use his shell to return to the Yang Dynasty?" Fatty Li looked at the talisman in his hand in surprise.
At this time, Lin Cheng knelt down and thanked Da Si for saving him. Pu An helped him up and said that what happened to you is over, but what happened behind the mirror has not been fully investigated yet. Please tell Fatty Li later.
Describe in detail the client in the brothel who presented a human-faced mirror.
Lin Cheng nodded quickly in agreement.
"Well, that mirror..." Lin Chengxin looked at the mirror still hanging on the wall facing the bedside with lingering fear.
When he heard Jin An said that he would take it back and deal with it, Lin Cheng thanked him gratefully. It would be great to have professionals help him deal with the evil-attracting mirror.
Because it was curfew time at night, Jin An and Fatty Li stayed at Lin Cheng's house for the night before going back. Qi Wen asked in detail about the process of obtaining the human face mirror.
Early the next morning, Jin An finished his breakfast and picked up two money bags. He was going back to Wu Zang Taoist Temple alone. After breakfast, he didn't forget to bring a few cages of small steamed buns to the old Taoist priest.
Fatty Li had a case to investigate, so Jin An came back alone.
Someone brought breakfast early in the morning. The old Taoist priest was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He ate each small steamed bun in one mouthful. While eating, he asked about the mirror. When he was about to finish eating, the old Taoist priest finally remembered something.
"Little brother, Boss Lin came yesterday. Seeing that you were not in the Taoist temple, Boss Lin didn't sit down for a while and then left..."
When talking about the latter part, the old Taoist priest suddenly looked around nervously.
"Boss Lin said that they would go to sea this time. Boss Lin didn't hide it from us. He said that he seemed to have accidentally discovered the Shaoyang Bureau's line elements of the Four Symbols Bureau of Duan Tian Jedi. They are expected to go to sea for a while. It is not yet known how long it will take to come back."
Jin An was startled. He didn't expect to hear the news about the Four Symbols Bureau of Duan Tian Jue Di so suddenly under such circumstances. The people from Tianshi Mansion had just obtained the human face stones, the human face square tripod, and the human face that were blown ashore by the typhoon.
Statue of God... It has only been a few days, and there are clues about the Four Symbols Bureau of Duantianjiedi. Could it be said that these two things are related?
Thinking of this, Jin An took out the human-face mirror he took from Lin Cheng and looked back and forth again, but still found nothing.
At this time, the old Taoist priest had also finished eating the xiaolongbao, and was still sucking the oil stains on his fingers. He looked up and found that Jin An was no longer around. He turned around and looked around, and saw Jin An standing on the roof, looking into the distance.
Port direction.
The rising sun rises in the east, the blue waves ripple, and the vast sea surface shines golden under the rising morning glow. The royal divine boat, which is as huge as a sea fortress, rides the wind and waves, and sets off towards the depths of the East China Sea with an invincible fleet of masts like forests.
"Little brother, have Boss Lin and the others left?" the old Taoist priest shouted from below, raising his head.
....
Fatty Li handled the case very quickly. Before a day had passed, new progress had been made in the matter of the human mirror.
Fatty Li has already regarded Wu Zang Taoist Temple as his own home. He will definitely return to Wu Zang Taoist Temple on time before dark, just in time to grab a meal.
"Taoist Master Jin'an, this is based on Hua Niang's description. I specially found a famous painter in the city to draw a portrait of the suspicious guest." Fatty Li handed over a scroll to claim credit.
The old Taoist priest had already heard Jin An's general description of the matter, so he turned his head curiously, but as soon as he took a look, the old Taoist priest let out an exclamation of surprise.
Fatty Li looked strangely: "Does Master Chen know the person in the portrait?"
The old Taoist priest looked at Jin An with a solemn expression: "Little brother, do you think the person in the portrait looks a bit like Shi Baocheng, the third housekeeper of the Song family who disappeared mysteriously in the prison and is still missing?"
The old Taoist priest knew how to recognize people, and even he said they resembled each other, so it must be Shi Baocheng in the portrait.
As soon as the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and shouted in surprise: "What if Shi Baocheng and..."
Happiness, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, shock, etc. are related to corpse refining, and the Thirteen Evil Corpses Holding Heaven Formation is also related to Bulao Mountain, and several threads are connected in series..."
Hiss!
The old Taoist priest took a breath!
"Doesn't it mean that the Immortal Mountain is involved behind this human mirror?"
After listening to the old Taoist priest's analysis, Jin An nodded thoughtfully; "Yes, it seems that this matter is indeed related to Bulao Mountain. According to legend, the group of immortals in Bulao Mountain are one of the people who most want to find the Four Symbols of the End of the Sky.
, a once-in-a-century storm blew away the human-faced stone and human-faced mirror that came ashore. Shi Baocheng is suspected of deliberately placing a human-faced mirror in Jiangzhou Mansion... It seems that a pair of demonic hands holding up the sky is gradually shrouding the sky over Jiangzhou Mansion."
It happened that at this time, clues related to the Shaoyang Bureau of the Duotian Jedi Four Symbols Bureau appeared. The experts from Yujing Golden Palace, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion who came from the capital collectively went to sea to find the whereabouts of the Shaoyang Bureau, which was tantamount to Nuo Da
A Jiangzhou Prefecture suddenly lost its master of the Three Realms.
Whether it's a coincidence or an accident, there is a feeling that a storm is coming.
"Bu Laoshan?" Fatty Li was confused.
So the old Taoist priest gave a rough explanation. After hearing the terrifying origins of Mount Everlasting, Fatty Li was dumbfounded. Is there really an immortal person in this world who has unlimited lifespan?
The people in the Old Mountain have almost unlimited lifespans, and they are all pretentious. They are the ones who want to break the situation and break the prison in the world the most! The people in the Old Mountain are not born easily. Once they appear in the secular world, it means that they have found a way to break the situation! And this place is
Jiangzhou Prefecture beneath their feet!
"It's a pity that we are a step late. If we had investigated the clue of Shi Baocheng one day earlier, we could have told Boss Lin earlier and asked them to be on guard against people coming down from Mount Bulao and being born!" the old Taoist priest said worriedly.
The fleet has been at sea for a day, and the sea is vast. Wanting to send a ship to find people is like looking for a needle in a haystack. At the moment, they can only hope that the fleet will return safely in the end.
But the three of them were all worried, and this night was destined to be a restless night.
"Little brother, there is a 'si' corpse buried in the Mingdian opposite the Taoist temple. If a person from Fu Laoshan really comes down the mountain and is born this time, will he be the first to come to our Five Zang Taoist Temple?" The old Taoist priest tossed around before falling asleep.
Unable to sleep, I knocked on the wall and asked Jin An in the next door room to express my concerns.

...
At this time, the vast world outside Jiangzhou Prefecture is completely dark. The clear mountains and green mountains during the day seem to turn into a man-eating demon shadow that hovers between the sky and the earth, indifferently peeping at the prey in the world.
This is a dirt road with no village or shop. A thin boy is walking on the night road with his sister on his back.
Although the boy was thin, as small as a speck of dust in the vast world, and his body was swaying as if he was about to fall down at any time, but every time he was about to fall, he gritted his teeth and persevered, and continued to carry his sister on his back in a hurry at night.
It is difficult to walk at night, not only because the road cannot be seen clearly at night, but also because there are roaring tigers and bears roaring in the mountains, which adds a bit of horror and ghostliness to the night. It is hard to tell whether a pair of green eyes are the eyes of a beast or a hungry ghost.
, hiding in the mountains and forests, staring closely at the brother and sister who were on their way at night.
Several pairs of green eyes among them could not suppress their restlessness and began to quietly approach the brother and sister.
suddenly.
In the vast and dark fields that should have been dark, village lights appeared. The tired little boy, who had almost run out of fuel, became energetic and quickened his pace: "Hold on, little sister, you will be saved soon!"
There are many ferocious beasts in the mountains. To protect themselves and prevent ferocious beasts from breaking into the village and harming people, the villages outside the city will build simple fences, light braziers and torches at night, and send people to keep vigil.
The same is true for Guercun.
Suddenly, some sharp-eyed villagers noticed some green will-o'-the-wisps approaching the village in the dark night. They, who have lived in mountain villages all year round, recognized at a glance that those were not will-o'-the-wisps, but wild beasts approaching the village.
"What's going on? Why did the beast suddenly have the courage to approach the village today?"
"It doesn't seem like those wild beasts are approaching our village, like they are wandering around their prey?"
"Okay, it seems like two children?"
"Monkey, can you see clearly that he is really a child?"
The villagers watching the night frowned and looked at the dark dirt road outside the village.
Some villagers said that whether it is a child or not, several people must live to confirm it. If it is really a child, they still have a chance to save people from the mouths of wild beasts. Wild beasts are alert by nature and have sensitive noses, and can smell the death breath of their prey. These wild beasts
Waiting for the prey to die and swarming it.
Looking at the chaotic, sour and dark world, the courageous little villager hesitated and said, "Could it be that the monkeys were wrong? How could any child walk at night in this wilderness?"
But his words were immediately stared back: "Have you forgotten what happened to Xiaonan not long ago? If Xiaonan hadn't met the kind-hearted Taoist priest Jin'an, would he have been able to find his way home? Can Zhang Dashan and his wife see him missing again?
A child? When people are in trouble, help them if you can."
When it came to Xiaonan, no one raised any objections. The villagers who were watching the night in Guer Village immediately rushed out with torches in hand. Soon after, these villagers returned with two children on their backs.
"Quick, there are two children here who are seriously injured and unconscious. Go find Li Zheng and treat their injuries!"
As soon as the brother and sister were out of danger and woke up, someone immediately notified Li Zheng.
"Children, you're awake. You're probably starving. Come and finish your rice porridge to comfort your stomach." Li Zheng and Dang kindly handed over two bowls of rice porridge, blew on the hot air, and warned them to be careful of scalding them.
The sister with her big eyes was obviously hungry. She kept eating rice porridge in her eyes and her stomach made a growling sound. However, she hid behind her brother very wisely and did not rush to accept food from strangers.
Seeing the vigilant brother and sister, Li Zheng looked at them with pity: "You must have suffered a lot along the way, you are such poor children."
"This is Guer Village, I am the leader of this village, and this is my home. You fainted outside the village last night and were almost eaten by wild animals. Fortunately, we found out in time... I will put the rice porridge on the table. If you are hungry,
Just get out of bed and eat. Don't worry, you'll be safe when you get here."
"Hey, when I see you, I think of poor Xiao Nan..."
"Who is Xiaonan?" It was my brother who spoke.
"He is the son of Zhang Dashan and his wife in the village. He encountered pitiable hardships. Fortunately, he met Taoist Master Jin'an of Wu Zang Taoist Temple."
Five Zang Taoist Temple!
The brother and sister looked at each other in surprise.
Li Zheng asked: "Have you also heard of Wu Zang Taoist Temple and Jin'an Taoist Priest?"
The younger sister was timid and did not answer. Her big eyes were still staring at the steaming rice porridge on the table. What she answered was her brother who was very cautious: "I haven't heard of it."
The elder brother shook his head.
Li Zheng smiled kindly, without revealing anything.
The elder brother hesitated for a moment, opened his chapped lips, and said to Li Zheng: "Grandpa Li Zheng, can you... tell me something about the Five Zang Taoist Temple and Taoist Master Jin'an?"
"Taoist Master Jin'an lives in the Wu Zang Taoist Temple in Fucheng, Jiangzhou. He is an upright man with a kind heart. Although he is only in his early twenties, he is the most capable Taoist priest I have ever seen. He is a true master of the world!"
When he talked about Jin'an's deeds, Li Zheng admired him sincerely.
After hearing what happened to Jin An and Xiao Nan, both brothers and sisters looked surprised and opened their mouths.
"Your injuries have just been bandaged and you need some time to rest. You can stay in the village to recuperate with peace of mind. If you have anything else to do, wait until you recover. You should recover well first. If you need anything, you can call me at any time." Li Zheng asked the brother and sister.
Stay and recuperate safely, then walk out of the room and gently close the door.
Soon after, the sound of wolfing down porridge and the crisp voice of my sister could be heard in the room.
"Brother, are there two Wu Zang Taoist temples in this world? Didn't Master say that he is from Wuzhou Prefecture..."
The elder brother made a silent gesture and did not answer.
Half a day later, when Li Zheng pushed in the door and brought rice porridge, he found that the room was empty, and the brother and sister did not know.
When I left quietly along the window, the quilts were neatly folded on the bed.
Li Zheng found a line of gray words on the ground -
Thank you to the kind-hearted Grandpa Lizheng, we brothers and sisters don’t want to involve innocent people.
...
Jiangzhou Prefecture.
Fatty Li spent several days investigating the whereabouts of Shi Baocheng, but Shi Baocheng seemed to be able to shrink into a stone and evaporated, unable to be found.
The Guanfu Street Gate almost searched the Fireworks and Willow Alley but could not find Shi Baocheng.
On the contrary, the Five Zang Taoist Temple has returned to peaceful days. The old Taoist priests interpret fortunes for pilgrims in the Taoist temple every day, and Jin'an is consolidating the third realm every day.
Fatty Li, on the other hand, is never seen during the day, but always comes back on time for a meal at night.
In this calmness, Jin An always felt that this was the last calm before the storm, so he never relaxed in his cultivation.
