The four of them were led out of the main hall by the boy, and were immediately shocked by the strange landscape of the Xuanshan Mountain outside the mountain.

Looking at the scene, the world is plain white, and it is impossible to tell whether it is day or moonlit night.

There is a huge "disk" in the east and a large "disk" in the west, which emits a soft white light, and it is impossible to see which is the sun and which is the moon.

On the blue dome, crape myrtle Beidou and 28 constellations are clearly arranged.

"Oh, it's beautiful. Little Taoist, is this the case every day here?"

"Hey, hey. What does it mean to be every day? Since I was born, I have been with my master, and he rarely mentions things down the mountain. Well, it's always been like this here anyway. ”

Xiao Daotong took them for a while, and it seems that there is almost no difference between this place and the Louguan Platform, but the scene in the sky is too beautiful.

When everyone came to the gate, the little boy stopped.

"Open the door yourselves, and go down the mountain. ”

"Aren't you going down the mountain with us?" Li Changsheng playfully teased him.

"I've never been within ten steps of this door. ”

"Why?"

Xiao Daotong didn't answer, and smiled embarrassedly, "You guys go down the mountain quickly." ”

After saying that, he went back.

Li Changsheng smiled happily, raised his legs and walked towards the door.

Before Guo Hua could keep up, he saw Li Changsheng stumbling back, as if he had encountered some huge resistance.

"Hey, why don't you look at the dots and hit people. ”

Li Changsheng took a few steps back and almost fell, and after standing still, he raised his hand and pointed to the front to scold, as if there was a person standing there.

"You, what's wrong with you?"

"I saw several people just now, and one of them was stabbing at me, as if he couldn't see me at all. ”

Guo Yu didn't see anything, neither did Xian Yuyan and Yasha Pill, but looking at Li Changsheng's appearance, it didn't look like he was lying.

"No one is coming?"

"Let's go. Li Changsheng ignored it, took Guo Yu's hand, and walked to the door.

After taking a few steps, the two of them quickly retreated.

This time, Guo Hua also saw it, Li Changsheng really didn't lie, there were many people coming in and out, right by his side, and even passing by himself, talking and laughing, as if he couldn't see the two of them at all.

"Guo Yu, did you see it?"

"See. ”

"Isn't it terrifying?" Li Changsheng frowned.

"Well, if I hadn't said it in advance, I would have been scared, I think this should be the junction between the Xuanshan Mountain outside the mountain and the Louguantai, so there will be such a strange scene. Didn't that Taoist boy say that he would never come within ten steps of this door, and I think that's why he came here. ”

"So what do we do? Let's just walk over?"

"Be careful. Inside this door, what we see should be some illusions, for fear that when the door is opened, we will immediately enter the real world, we should be careful not to be bumped into these illusions, so as not to have any accidents. ”

The three of them followed Guo Hua's statement, carefully walked through the phantom of the crowd, pushed the door and walked out.

A moist smell unique to the early morning, mixed with the fragrance of mountain flowers, came to the face.

Looking at the figures around him, sure enough, they were all living men and women.

The four of them couldn't suppress the joy in their hearts, looked back at the door of the viewing platform behind them, and recalled what happened yesterday, everything was like a dream.

Li Changsheng took out the yellow paper charm of the White Crane Daoist and laughed stupidly, "It feels like a fake." ”

"Haha, yes. This mountain outside the mountain is really a wonderful place, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to enter here again in this life. ”

"You still want to come, you almost lost your little life. ”

"Don't you want to come?"

"I, I want to too. But forget it, unless the White Crane Daoist brings us here. That Wang Taoist priest is okay, it's good for them to bring us here. By the way, when people explain your things, you are so hasty. ”

"You mean the package of the Wang Daoist? That was originally what the Wang Daoist asked me to hand over to the White Crane Daoist, and we don't know what it contains, since the White Crane Daoist has already taken it, let him be. ”

"You're not curious at all? Don't you want to know what's in that package? And what did that Wang Daoist do to be sorry for his senior brother?"

"Don't want to know. ”

"However, I still want to thank that stinky Taoist priest for not letting us run this trip in vain. Thank him well another day. ”

"Yes. Guo Yu agreed, and his heart suddenly became heavy.

The four of them arrived at the inn and took the foster horses. Hurry up and return to Weicheng.

Originally, Guo Yu wanted to go to Weicheng with Xian Yuyan first to deal with the lawsuit of Daoist Wang. Li Changsheng was escorted back to Chang'an by Yasha Pill to prepare for the things explained by the White Crane Daoist. Speaking of which, she couldn't resist her, so she had to promise Li Changsheng to go to Weicheng first.

Outside the Broken Daoist Temple where Daoist Wang was located, more than 100 people surrounded him noisily. The four of them pushed through the crowd and came to the door, only to see two messengers standing at the door, maintaining order and repelling the people who kept wanting to enter.

Guo Hua felt uneasy for a while, although he couldn't say what happened, but he felt that it would not be a good thing. Hurriedly gave Xian Yuyan a look.

Xian Yuyan showed his waist card, those two poor people were Zhao Dalu's subordinates, and they often heard Zhao Dalu mention Xian Yuyan's name, and they were led by one person and brought into the courtyard.

The situation in the courtyard was even more strange, in addition to some people in the yamen, there were more than a dozen well-dressed gentry, who were talking to each other in twos and threes. It seems that they are all local figures with heads and faces.

Hearing that Xian Yuyan and his group were back again, Zhao Dalu hurriedly walked out of the house along with Lao Qian.

It turned out that Zhao Dalu and Lao Qian went to the post station to find someone that day, but they couldn't find it. I have been worried in my heart, but early this morning, someone reported the case, saying that Wang Daoist died. Only then did I inform Lao Qian and come over together.

The surrounding neighbors knew that this Wang Daoist had some means, and they used false rumors to spread the rumors, and they all said that Wang Daoist was not dead, but Yuhua became an immortal. Therefore, many gentry in the city who had dealt with him also came one after another to see the excitement.

When Guo Hua heard this, his heart was cold, what he was worried about had really happened.

The body of Daoist Wang was placed on a table in the hall, sitting cross-legged, with fruit and refreshments in front of him and incense and candles. Sure enough, he was regarded as a god by some good deeds and offered up.

Guo Hua tried Daoist Wang's snort and pulse, and was sure that he was dead. The corpses were already cold. However, the corpse's complexion was still ruddy, and it still maintained a good elasticity, so it was no wonder that people would treat him as a fairy feather.

"Master, Guo Gongzi, you are well-informed, do you think this Wang Taoist priest is really dead?"

"It's dead. Some people in the Dao Sect who have advanced cultivation have many people whose bodies do not decay after death. ”

"Guo Gongzi, what you said is that villains have also heard a lot of these things. But you see, this is the first time I've met, and I'm involved in a case, so it's not easy for me to explain to Shangfeng. ”

"This Lord Zhao doesn't have to worry. Wang Daoist, I just saw that he died of poisoning, it should be that when he was practicing Taoist internal strength, he took too much medicine, which caused his heart to dry up and die. As for the fact that his body can still maintain a ruddy complexion after death, it is also the effect of those drugs. If you don't believe it, his corpse smells a strange scent, the smell of medicine. ”

Zhao Dalu and Lao Qian heard this, and immediately leaned close to their noses and smelled it. After sniffing it carefully, as Guo Yu said, he immediately ordered the messenger to extinguish all the burning incense and candles and move them outside. Call for inspection.

Without the interference of the smell of incense and candles, the smell of the strange fragrance on Daoist Wang's body became stronger.

It's very fragrant, but if you smell it for a while, your mind will be numb and groggy.

This work is also a master, and it can be seen that in addition to some spices, there is also a large amount of sulfur and cinnabar in this fragrance. These are highly toxic things. The facts of the case soon became clear.

"Then my business-" Lao Qian was already impatient on the side, and he was originally suspicious of Wang Daoshi, but now he is dead, and his heart is also up and down, and he is a little confused.

Guo Hua first appeased Lao Qian, and then instructed Zhao Dalu to disperse the good deeds in the courtyard, and then find a carriage and horse, so as to escort the body of Taoist Wang to the Zhongnan Mountain Tower Viewing Platform, and hand it over to the Taoist priest there to dispose of according to Taoist legislation.

Zhao Dalu did so one by one. Guo Hua explained the matter of old money.

Yes, the problem lies in the screen that Wang Daoist gave to the old money. The painting screen wood is a kind of fragrant wood from Fusang, and the aroma emitted has an aphrodisiac effect. In addition, the paint for painting also contains a large amount of musk and Tianzhu's fascination incense. Although it begins to help men have sex, over time, it is easy for people to hallucinate. As long as you throw away the screen given by Daoist Wang, those strange things won't happen again.

Old Qian was skeptical. Go back and tell your subordinates to take those screens out and burn them. In the days that followed, those strange things really didn't happen again. And I believed.

On an autumn afternoon, the weather is exceptionally cool. In the distance, the palace mausoleum left behind by the Qin and Han dynasties is covered with a layer of golden light. Thousands of years of people seem to be whispering in their ears.

On the official road leading from Weicheng to Chang'an, four people and four horses walked slowly.

"Guo Xuan, are you lying?" Li Changsheng flicked his whip lightly and turned sideways to Guo Xuan.

"Where is the deception?"

"It's just about that Wang Daoist. ”

"Nope. Indeed, he was poisoned to death. ”

"Oh. What about the old money?"

"Since Daoist Wang is dead, let Lao Qian treat the past as an illusion, isn't it?"

"This is good, at least the knot in the old money heart is untied, and Liu Mei will no longer be suspicious. But isn't it too cowardly for Daoist Wang to do this, can't he elope with Liu Mei?"

"Hahahaha, you golden branch, it's hard for you to say such a thing. ”

"What's wrong with me thinking like this, if he really loves her, he should take her with him and live a happy life. Now that he is dead, maybe Liu Mei will spend the rest of her life in loneliness and coldness. Wang Daoist is a romantic ghost after all, not a good thing, maybe he has already lost a lot of girls. ”

"Maybe. ”

"What do you mean maybe, obviously. It's good with so many girls, and in the end I don't care about it. ”

"Maybe he's already broken for a girl he loves?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you wonder why he died suddenly?"

"What's so strange about this, his affair with Liu Mei was exposed by us, he was cowardly and timid, he didn't dare to face Liu Mei, and he was afraid of a lawsuit, so he committed suicide. ”

"I don't think it's going to be that simple. Like you said, he could have taken Liu Mei away from home, with his means, it wasn't difficult. The difficulty is that he can't escape his own knot. ”

"Oh—you mean, he's sorry for his brother, and I remember that he looked a little strange afterwards, as if he had suddenly realized that he had let go of many things. ”

"yes. Perhaps his heart is long dead, and all he has lived in the world for so many years is just a prodigal corpse. ”

"But his brother is a man—ah, yes, yes, I know. That woman, ah, it must be like this," Li Changsheng shook his head, and the story he wanted to think of came to his mind, "What an infatuated man, he can fight for love." ”

Thinking of the end, Li Changsheng's face showed a look of envy.

"Hahahaha"

"Dead Guo Yu, what are you laughing at?"

"Hahahaha"

"What the hell are you laughing at, you stop me. ”

Li Changsheng shouted for Guo Hua to stop, but when he lost his hand, he whipped the horsewhip on Guo Hua's horse.

The group of people suddenly chased after each other on the official road. Soon, it disappeared at the end of the smoke.

At this moment, in the magnificent and mighty Chang'an City, there are turbulent storms. The story of this infatuated man and woman is like the dew on the petals of a peony in the morning, beautiful and insignificant.
