Chapter 126: Pretending to be a ghost, substituting one thing for another
Yuan Zishan picked up the brush and wrote the word "phoenix".
The Taoist looked at it and said: "Feng is a divine bird. Peng is an ancient phoenix." Feng Jiuxiao and Yuan Zishan waited calmly for him to continue, but they heard him mumble again: "Dragon colt and phoenix chick." He closed his eyes slightly and shook his head in deep contemplation. After a while, he opened his eyes and pointed at the word "phoenix" and said, "I don't know... I wonder if the young master is testing your marriage or your future?"
Yuan Zishan simply sat down opposite Zhang's case desk in front of the Taoist, smiling without showing her teeth: "What do you think?"
The Taoist was not surprised either. He glanced at Feng Jiuxiao and said, "Looking at your rich clothes and jade robes, your aura of nobility, and your promising future, it's natural that you want to ask for a marriage sign!"
Yuan Zishan said calmly: "How is the marriage?"
The Taoist touched a few strands of his sparse beard, pointed to the word "phoenix" and said, "Phoenix is the king of birds. This word phoenix has the image of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, which shows that the person you like has a high status, great authority, and is respected by thousands of people. ," he couldn't help but feel proud when he saw Yuan Zishan smiling slightly in approval. He smiled strangely and then said: "The male is a phoenix and the female is a phoenix, so this is strange."
"Don't be surprised, I am a woman, so the person I like is naturally a man." Yuan Zishan said bluntly.
Since the other party has already seen through his identity, there is no need to pretend anymore. Do you have to let the Taoist say, "Young Master is actually as good as Long Yang"? How embarrassing!
The Taoist nodded, and then touched the few remaining beards, "That makes sense. Phoenix is also a divine bird. As I said just now, the person you like is not an ordinary person, so your first stroke was quite hesitant. The sign of stagnation, and then the succession and transformation are integrated in one go, means that your loved one has had a bad fate since childhood. Of course, this is only in relative terms. Compared with other people, he is still very expensive. I wish you to be a general and a marquis. If you travel around the world, you are expected to become the leader of the world and command all the heroes in the world! The so-called dragon, horse and phoenix chick, your favorite is a young man who is brave and proud, and he is very young!"
Feng Jiuxiao couldn't detect the dangerous aura on the Taoist's body, and was already relieved. Moreover, she could see that the Taoist was actually teasing her, as if he knew him, so he deliberately said with a straight face: "Taoist, you can't just look at me." When it comes to me, will you describe the person you like in the same way I do?" He deliberately pronounced the word "describe" with emphasis.
At this time, all fools knew that Feng Jiuxiao was the girl's lover. She pretended not to recognize him in front of the victim, and then boasted like the victim. It was absolutely unmistakable! This is a common trick of fortune tellers in the world.
The Taoist actually nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, I can't look at you and talk about you."
At this time, Chili Pepper came over and shouted at the Taoist: "You bastard liar, you clearly knew that my young lady and the young master were a couple, and you deliberately pretended to say that you figured it out. I'll expose you liar." I'll kill your stall!" She pretended to raise the table, but Yuan Zishan stopped her and angrily said: "Chili pepper must not be rude! Young master is joking, the Taoist priest is actually very accurate." Yuan Zishan clearly heard Feng Jiuxiao's words. The meaning of the poem is teasing, knowing that the two of them must have a connection.
The Taoist exaggeratedly wiped his forehead without a drop of sweat and let out a long breath. He seemed to have just escaped from death. He said to Chili: "This female Taoist friend will calm down for the time being. Then I will tell you what everyone can't see." ?" As he spoke, there seemed to be a flash of purple energy on his face. At that moment, people could see some delusions of Taoism and immortality: "I'm just afraid that some people won't be willing to listen!" He looked at Feng Jiuxiao and then at Feng Jiuxiao. Looking at Yuan Zishan, her eyes rolled around, as if she was gloating about her misfortune.
Yuan Zishan remained calm and her tone remained calm: "It's okay, I'd like to hear the details."
The Taoist said: "Feng Tongfeng, he is standing behind you. The male standing behind the female is the concubine, which coincides with the Tianfeng divination. Your lover will have an affair recently." After saying this, he glanced back and forth at the crowd, as if waiting for something.
Should a good show happen, suppress it first and then expand, or explode immediately? His expression of gloating was more obvious than the lice on a bald man's head. He was so angry that he was about to overturn the table, but fortunately Pang Shishi stopped him!
The Taoist had no intention of panic. He had been observing the reactions of Yuan and Feng. Although Feng Jiuxiao had a look of embarrassment on her face, she quickly calmed down, while the stunning girl opposite remained calm, without any anger or suspicion.
, did not even look back at the young man in white, but just smiled calmly: "Having an affair can only show that my vision is right, the person I like is too good! It is not unusual for him to have an affair every day, so what if I meet him, but it is just a chance encounter.
, It's just a joke. I'm not angry if I disappoint you. I believe in him."
The words "I believe in him" made Feng Jiuxiao's heart tremble. He was inexplicably moved by his courage and knowledge. If there weren't so many people here, he would have wanted to hold Yuan Zishan in his arms!
The Taoist said with an exaggerated expression: "My fellow Taoist has wrongly blamed Pindao. How can Pindao laugh at others?" Gradually there was a hint of relief in his eyes, as if a matter on his mind had been settled. He suddenly looked seriously at Feng Jiuxiao.
He said: "The phoenix is in the same wind, but the wind is like a fierce one. The road ahead is long and full of misfortunes. Fortunately, noble people have God's help, and they can always turn bad luck into good luck. However, you still need to be careful in everything! After all, you have your family to take care of you!" He was filled with emotion.
He looked at Yuan Zishan again thoughtfully.
Feng Jiuxiao stared closely at the Taoist's eyes, as if she wanted to see the flowers! The Taoist had no choice but to keep dodging Feng Jiuxiao's staring eyes, "Don't look, can you really see the flowers?" Finally, he closed his eyes and simply pretended.
sleep.
After a long time, Feng Jiuxiao said: "The Taoist priest is from Longhu Mountain?"
The Taoist suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed, "How can you see it?"
From the appearance alone, Feng Jiuxiao really couldn't tell whether the man in front of him was the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain. He was dressed in ragged clothes and had only a few beards. How could he have any celestial spirit? But his intuition told him that this man was very fond of him.
Be friendly and definitely know yourself.
"I guessed it." Feng Jiuxiao was also very direct.
The Taoist chuckled: "How do I resemble the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain? You can guess this? Why don't you guess that I am from Baiyun Temple? Or am I just a casual cultivator?"
Feng Jiuxiao finally showed a smile on her face.
He had been watching the Taoist's every move from the beginning, fearing that he was a killer sent by an organization.
It's not difficult to deal with it by myself, but I'm afraid of disturbing Yuan Zishan.
After Feng Jiuxiao confirmed the identity of the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master, he smiled and said: "I just have a familiar feeling, I really can't tell where I can see it. I don't know what it looks like...?"
The Taoist smiled and said: "The poor Taoist is a green pine. The white crane is the poor Taoist junior brother."
Feng Jiuxiao's eyes flashed and she asked, "Has Taoist Master Bai He also gone down the mountain?"
Qingsong nodded and said: "Now that the world is in chaos, wars are everywhere, and all kinds of evil spirits are ready to move, the Heavenly Master ordered me and other brothers to go down the mountain to help the Emperor suppress the evil spirits!"
Feng Jiuxiao also sighed: "Yes, it is a troubled time for internal and external troubles!"
There are Jingchu, Fujian and Tang Dynasties in the south, Uighur Dangxiang in the west, and Khitan in the north. We are always waiting for the opportunity to take a bite of the fat meat of the Central Plains.
General Lian, who was stationed in the northwest and controlled nearly a quarter of the Zhou Dynasty's troops, stabbed him in the back. What else could it be if it wasn't internal and external troubles?
Although she was not the emperor, Feng Jiuxiao could already feel the tremendous pressure the emperor was under! All civil and military officials in the dynasty could surrender. After surrendering, he might even be promoted to a higher position. Only the emperor had no way out. Due to Liancheng's nature, the emperor surrendered
If you don't surrender, you'll die! The Lian family and his son will never feed a tiger into trouble!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "The Taoist priest is sitting in Luoyang. Could it be that there is something going on in Luoyang?"
Qingsong said: "Whenever the world is in chaos, the demon sect will inevitably appear in the world. This is expected and is not a headache. The key is that some demons and monsters who usually don't show off are also taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. There are people who kill people and steal goods, commit adultery and steal.
There are people who cheat, there are people who deceive and kidnap people, and the list goes on. This time I went down the mountain mainly because there were several corpse theft cases in Luoyang. At first, I thought it was just a trivial matter. Why did I make such a fuss that I bothered the court to issue an order?
The mountain comes forward."
Feng Jiuxiao frowned and said, "Stealing corpses?"
Qingsong said: "It's not that one or two bodies were stolen, but more than two hundred corpses have been lost!"
Feng Jiuxiao thought: "Seventy-two last night, plus more than two hundred, wouldn't it just be enough to make the three hundred?"
He then asked: "With so many corpses stolen, can't the Yamen find out?"
Qingsong touched the few beards again, "They checked for a long time and came to the conclusion that it was not done by human beings. If it was not done by human beings, it was only ghosts and gods! That's why the emperor found us!" Feng Jiuxiao
You can hear the resentment in Qingsong's tone.
"Why, Taoist Priest, do you think this is not the work of ghosts and gods?"
Qingsong suddenly stared into Feng Jiuxiao's eyes, and he showed a strange expression: "Do you know something?"
Feng Jiuxiao chuckled, "Last night I encountered a dozen ghosts carrying many coffins on the road. I wonder if it has something to do with what the Taoist said?"
Qingsong's expression was extremely exaggerated, his eyebrows were high, his eyes were wide-eyed, he leaned his head forward and said impatiently: "Where did you find it?"
Yuan Zishan and Chili couldn't help but burst out laughing when they saw his funny look, especially those horrible beards.
Feng Jiuxiao glared at Chili Pepper, not wanting to be rude, but Chili Pepper showed no sign of weakness, and glanced at Yuan Zishan, which means you have the ability to glare at her! Feng Jiuxiao was quickly defeated and said to Qingsong: "I was in Xin'an County last night.
Come back to Luoyang on the official road."
Qingsong frowned and said, "You are blatantly following the official road?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Not bad!"
Qingsong said: "It's strange! The area between Xin'an County and Luoyang is heavily guarded. So many corpse trucks coming and going like this didn't attract attention?"
Feng Jiuxiao laughed: "As long as you are not blind, who can't see?"
Qingsong narrowed his eyes: "Are you saying that the city guards are the real ghosts?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "How can this kind of thing be concealed from the outside without being coordinated from the inside out? I am a layman and cannot speak nonsense about ghosts and gods, but as far as this matter is concerned, there must be some people colluding with each other to make it invisible."
Qingsong said: "I actually knew there was a problem here a long time ago, and I even suspected that it was the devil's sect's method, because the devil's sect is the best at killing corpses. Now that the world is in chaos, all ambitious and powerful heroes want to recruit troops and expand their armies to prepare for war.
, although the Demon Lord has no intention of getting involved in the power change of the secular dynasty, he does not mind using mortal killings to prove the devil's way! If someone provides him with various materials needed by the Demon Cult, it is not ruled out that he will in turn provide help to the other party!"
Feng Jiuxiao immediately thought of Liancheng! Liancheng must have reached some kind of agreement with the Demonic Cult. He helped the Demonic Cult provide various refining materials, and the Demonic Cult helped him open up the situation! If only the Demonic Cult came forward on their own, whether it was stealing or robbing, he would eventually be
This will once again trigger a group of Chivalrous Dao to attack. If there is only one person who can ensure sufficient and stable supply of goods, the Demonic Cult will get twice the result with half the effort. Naturally, it is what they want.
Qingsong said: "Do you know where they transported the body?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "If nothing else, of course it will be the Magic City!"
Qingsong said: "Then do you know where the Demon City is?"
Feng Jiuxiao was startled. The demonic sect is powerful, but until now he still doesn't know where the demonic sect is!
"I really do not know!"
"Actually, I only know the general range. It should be somewhere in Leshan, Western Shu. If I walk fast, I might be able to catch up with them tomorrow evening!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Now that we know who did it and the whereabouts of the body, we can draw a conclusion on this matter. Does the Taoist Master really want to break into the Demon City alone?"
Qingsong looked embarrassed, "I still know myself, I just want to recover the body and give an explanation to the family members!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Since the demon sect is collecting corpses on a large scale, there will definitely still be actions around Luoyang recently. Rather than extinguishing the fire afterwards, it is better to prevent it in advance! You can first bring all the relevant personnel involved in the incident, whether they are officials or soldiers, to justice to prevent any minor incidents.
Kill one to serve as a warning to others!"
Qingsong's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea, but the key is that there is insufficient evidence. The demon sect's disciples have disappeared without a trace. There is a lack of witness, the body is also missing, and there is a lack of physical evidence. How to convict?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "My Master Qingsong, what is our Longhu Mountain best at? Catching ghosts! What are people most afraid of after doing bad things?"
Qingsong's eyes became brighter and brighter: "I'm most afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "I can ask Lao Liu from the Xihe Sect to pretend to be the souls of the corpses and scare them in the middle of the night. They can't just act calmly, as long as they scare them into telling the truth. It's best to let people from the Yamen follow, so that it can be done.
Irrefutable evidence. This is called pretending to be a ghost!"
Feng Jiuxiao said again: "I have a second move, to steal a beam and replace it with a pillar!"
