Volume 1 The Twelve Holy Cities Chapter 226 Resurrection of the Soul is a reincarnation introduction
A Taoist priest in a Taoist robe in the crowd shook the bell, circled around one place twice, and after dripping candle oil of unknown material, the Taoist priest stood up and continued to walk forward with the bell.
"What is this for?" Zhou Li'er watched the crowd and followed the Taoist priest to continue walking, and asked Zhu Yuan, who was following up.
"I don't know." Zhu Yuan shook his head, "Just follow and see." β
As he spoke, he also followed the crowd forward, and the crowd followed the Taoist priest out of the block in a hundred steps, through the gate of the third city wall, and then all the way through the middle four districts within the four city walls, the lower five districts within the five city walls, the outer six districts within the six city walls, and finally stopped at a grave in the wild area outside the six city walls.
At this time, a dipping platform had been set up in front of the tomb, and the Taoist priest walked to the dipping platform, put down the bell in his hand, rang the bell and cymbals, and chanted a mantra with words in his mouth. When the Taoist priest finished reciting the incantation and picked up the bell again, a young man, also wearing a Taoist robe, lifted a lantern in front of the table, and followed the Taoist priest around the tomb, shouting his name as he turned.
"Why is this man so familiar?" Zhu Yuan's eyes followed the young man, and he said to himself strangely, but this is the first time he has come to the Seventh Holy City, there should be no person he is familiar with.
Zhu Yuan shook his head, shook off the thoughts in his mind, and continued to watch the group of people in front of him circle around the tomb, until the sunset was approaching, the Taoist priest finished the ritual, and led the crowd back towards Hua'an District with a hundred steps.
"Dude, what are you doing here?" Zhu Yuan followed all the way and asked a person beside him.
"You don't even know about reincarnation, you're not a local." The person who was pulled by Zhu Yuan didn't know when he saw Zhu Yuan's reincarnation, and he didn't know the locals, so he didn't want to answer, but seeing that Zhu Yuan was a martial artist, he didn't want to make more trouble, so he said.
"Reincarnation? What's the use. Zhou Li'er followed all the way with sore legs and numb feet, rubbing her legs and asked.
"Of course, it is to attract the souls of the dead, and it is said that whenever a child is about to be born in the family, the souls of the deceased relatives can be summoned home in this way, and they will be reincarnated."
The person who spoke saw that it was a cute girl like Zhou Li'er who was asking this question, and the tone of his answer was different.
"Do you know the names of those two Taoist priests?" Zhu Yuan was still haunted by the familiarity of the young Taoist priest, so he asked.
The man glanced at Zhu Yuan strangely, and didn't want to answer, but under the pressure of Zhu Yuan's martial artist, he still said:
"That old Taoist is the famous Li Daoist of this generation, as for the little Taoist, I don't know, it should be an apprentice who has just been accepted in the past two years."
After the man finished speaking, he didn't care about Zhu Yuan's pull, and left quickly.
"Shopkeeper, let's go back."
After Zhou Li'er heard the introduction of reincarnation, she lost interest in her heart, looked at the sky, night was coming, and she was ready to return to Xicheng.
"You guys go back first, I still have some business."
Zhu Yuan looked at the group of people who were about to leave his field of vision, and said to Zhou Li'er and Mo Qingping.
Zhou Li'er was about to ask, but seeing Zhu Yuan's serious expression, she immediately realized something, and after saying to Zhu Yuan to be careful, she pulled Mo Qingping and the three of them away.
After Zhu Yuan and the other four of them left, they took a step to catch up with the crowd of reincarnation guides, and followed far behind.
The sky has already darkened, and the crowd of people who were still bustling with people watching the excitement before have all disappeared, leaving only the Taoist priests who do the deeds and the families of the deceased who are guided by reincarnation.
More than 20 people still walked all the way through the wild area, through the outer sixth district, the lower fifth district, and the middle fourth district, and then entered Hua'an District.
Although the people who live here in Hua'an District are not as good as those who live in the aristocratic district within the city walls of Erdao, they are all big families in the Holy City, but the people who live in Hua'an District are either rich or expensive.
The old Taoist priest shook the bell, sang the reincarnation guide, and came all the way to a high-gate compound, and then in the courtyard there was another bell and cymbal, chanting a spell, and the young Taoist priest handed the lantern in his hand to a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man in his family.
The middle-aged man took the lantern handed by the young Taoist priest and said to the old Taoist priest: "Daoist Li, you have worked hard, this is your reward, let's go after eating fast." β
The old Taoist priest took the money bag handed by his subordinates, did not count the points, and after putting it in his pocket, he also said, "Thank you, Master Wang." β
Zhu Yuan waited for a corner of the wall, silently waiting for the two Taoist priests to finish eating, and followed the young Taoist priest all the way out of Hua'an District and came to the fourth district of the middle school.
The young Taoist priest did not notice Zhu Yuan's tracking at all, and divided the money from the old Taoist priest, so he left the old Taoist priest in a hurry, and walked all the way, just when Zhu Yuan wondered if he found himself following, he saw the young Taoist priest stop in front of a room, and after struggling and hesitating, he pushed the door and disappeared into the door.
"This is their lair?"
Zhu Yuan saw the young Taoist priest's hesitation and thought in his heart. But in the end, the artist was bold, and after Zhu Yuan also hesitated slightly, he turned over and climbed onto the roof by night, found a weak spot between the tiles, closed his eyes, and began to perceive.
The house was completely different from what Zhu Yuan imagined, and the imaginary situation of several people secretly discussing matters did not appear, but several groups of people gathered together, playing cards, shaking dice, and shouting one after another.
"What's going on?" Zhu Yuan frowned, this is not like a secret activity base of an organization, but like a casino.
Yes, it's like a casino.
Zhu Yuan jumped back to the ground, came to the main entrance, looked up at the plaque at the door, and suddenly smiled dumbly.
ββDonglai Gambling House.
Unexpectedly, it was really a gambling house, Zhu Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment, and said in his heart that he really thought too much.
Just as Zhu Yuan was hesitating whether to enter the gambling house and ask the young Taoist priest in person or leave now, the door of the gambling hall opened with a bang, and a figure was carried out by two big men covered with meat, which fell right in front of Zhu Yuan's eyes.
"Chase?" Zhu Yuan saw that the person he was looking for was in front of him, and shouted uncertainly.
"Who!"
The young Taoist priest was thrown on the street, and he was angrily slapping the Taoist robe on his body, when he suddenly heard Zhu Yuan's name call him, and he responded angrily.
But immediately he realized that something was wrong, the name Chasi was the name he had when he was in the city, and he had already changed his name by the time he arrived in the Seventh Holy City, how could anyone know that his name was Chasi.
"My name is not Chasi, my name is Li Lin." Chasi, who reacted, hurriedly said, but it was too late.
"I really didn't expect that Chasi, the guard team who destroyed the walls of Xicheng City and lured the mutant beast wind demon wolf into the city, would become like this."
Zhu Yuan stood in front of Chasi and said with a sneer.
"Brother, you recognized the wrong person." Of course, Chasi, who had already reacted, would not admit it, and turned around to leave.
