Maoshan Mountain, see the Star Gate

Yuanyang Taoist touched the bluestone cloud head coiled dragon pillar beside him, his expression was stunned, there was a Taoist priest in his thirties beside him, there was a black and purple cloud pattern birthmark on his face, the Taoist priest looked at Yuanyang's stunned appearance, and couldn't help but shout "Uncle Shi"

Yuan Yang was pulled back to reality by the voice, looking at the Taoist priest beside him, he chuckled lightly and said, "When Zhang Cong first went up the mountain, his favorite thing was to play on this coiling dragon pillar, jumping up and down like a monkey. At that time, I don't know how many times he was taught about this, but he never listened. ”

"Uncle Mourning" Taoist priest didn't know how to comfort Yuan Yang, the whole Maoshan knew that Yuan Yang loved Wang Zhangcong, but who would have thought that it was just a small ghost killing, Wang Zhangcong actually fell, and it was already commendable that the old man in front of him was not defeated.

"Condolences? Zhang Cong's bones are gone, how can you let me mourn?! Yuan Yang looked at the Taoist priest angrily, but then thought that the culprit was still free, and asked in a cold voice, "What did your master say?" ”

"Master is still in retreat, but Master means that Uncle Yu Maoshan has a great responsibility and a different identity......" The Taoist priest thought about how to organize the wording would be better, but before he finished speaking, Yuan Yang interrupted, "What do you mean, I will die in vain?!" ”

"The master and nephew don't dare, but the master said that he could send others to catch that powerful ghost, and the uncle only needs to sit in Maoshan Mountain. When the time comes, the ghost will be caught, and all the disposals will be decided by you, Uncle Shi. The Taoist priest hurriedly explained.

When Yuan Yang heard this, his eyes suddenly moistened, looked at the Taoist priest, and sneered, "My own apprentice, let me solve it myself." Tell your Master, and he won't worry about it. ”

"But Uncle Shi left Maoshan, what should I do with the big and small things in Maoshan?" The Taoist priest did not give up on admonishment.

Yuan Yang was very dissatisfied, and snorted coldly and said, "What? Are you afraid that I'll be killed by that ghost too?! ”

"What Uncle Shi said, it's just a tricky ghost, this time he plotted to kill my Maoshan disciple, maybe he has already left Nanjing, Uncle Shi is afraid that he will be in vain" Speaking of this, looking at Yuan Yangmian with hesitation, the Taoist priest hurriedly said, "So the nephew thinks that we can send someone to track down the traces of the ghost, and then the nephew is willing to accompany the uncle to avenge the king!" ”

Yuan Yang was silent for a long time when he heard this, and finally sighed, "What you said makes sense"

As soon as these words came out, the Taoist priest was overjoyed, but then he heard Yuan Yang say, "It's just that Zhang Cong was killed and died, and I, as a master, must go to that Zhang Mansion to see it in person, otherwise I will be uneasy."

Looking at the Taoist priest with burning eyes, Yuan Yang said again, "Don't worry, if the ghost does escape this time, then I will pay tribute to Zhang Cong and return to Maoshan." ”

This request is reasonable, and the Taoist priest has no way to refuse, but he is still a little worried in his heart, after all, the Yuanyang Taoist is older, and his spirit has suffered a heavy blow, if something happens, then Maoshan may become the laughing stock of the cultivation world.

Thinking of this, the Taoist priest said, "What Uncle Shi said is very true, then I will accompany Uncle Shi, and there will be someone to serve you on the road."

Yuan Yang waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll just take Mingsi there, he has always been serving my daily life, you just stay in Maoshan." As a senior brother, the first disciple of Maoshan and the great disciple, everything on the mountain will be handed over to you after I leave."

The Taoist priest didn't expect Yuan Yang to actually put the power of the prison into his hands, although it was only temporary, but it was of great significance to him, "Uncle Shi can't, my nephew and I have little experience, I'm afraid I can't do it"

Yuan Yang glared at him and said impatiently, "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, don't have the demeanor of your master back then, who is born with experience?" As a great disciple of Maoshan, if you don't set an example, how can you serve the public in the future? ”

The Taoist priest hurriedly bowed his head and said resignedly, "What Uncle Shi taught me is that my nephew remembers." ”

Yuan Yang nodded with satisfaction, turned around and wanted to leave, suddenly thought of something, turned his head and said, "I'm afraid that I'm going to Nanjing as you said, I will come back in a few days, so don't tell your master about this matter."

"My nephew understands, I don't know when my uncle will leave?" The Taoist priest asked respectfully.

Yuan Yang looked into the distance, clenched his fists and looked in the direction of Nanjing and said, "Today!" ”

……

At the same time, everyone in Nanjing, from the wealthy families to the peddlers' pawns, was silent. You must know that the Zhang family except for the boss Zhang Songming and the whole family died, and the last time such a horrific thing happened was when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, but this time the culprit changed from a person to a ghost. Zhang Xiu did a good job, not only scared the people from the garrison away, but even killed one. Now the story of the ghost seeking revenge spread all over the streets and alleys, the neighborhood of Zhang's house was originally a gathering of rich people, this incident, in less than a day, all the rich businessmen and high-ranking officials around all moved away, for fear that the ghost would find the door.

There was no one else on a huge street at the moment except for a few domestic dogs and beasts, which made Tang Shi happy. In the villa, Ren Tingting is sitting on the sofa at the moment, she should be the only surviving human on this street.

Looking at Tang Shi in a black robe on the side, Ren Tingting's face was cloudy, her eyes were red, and her eyes were bloodshot, obviously because she had been crying a lot recently. This is also understandable, when a group of four classmates came to Nanjing to play, she is the only one alive now, even a big man can't stand this kind of thing, let alone a little girl.

But in addition to the pain of her classmate's death, there is another thing she has never been able to understand. When she woke up that day, Tang Shi appeared by her side and told her that Cao Wei was dead. At that time, the pain of her friend's death made Ren Tingting ignore the others.

It wasn't until she calmed down today that she faintly felt that there was something strange about it, Cao Wei's corpse she had seen, and it was completely the appearance of an old man dying of old age. But the people who died in the entire Zhang family were all dried corpses, why was Cao Wei the exception.

And what made her even more puzzled was that her memory of the ghost hunt that day was limited to Zhang Songsheng being tied up and yelling, and then a man in black suddenly appeared, and then she didn't remember anything after that, she didn't know how the Zhang family died, and she didn't know what happened later. But there is one thing she remembers very clearly, that is, Cao Wei said that she saw Tang Shi that night.

It was also this clear memory that made all kinds of thoughts in her mind, and Tang Shi's presence in the Zhang family at this moment seemed to confirm Cao Wei's words, but why did Tang Shi appear in the Zhang family, and what was the relationship between him and the death of everyone in the Zhang family? It was also these doubts that gave Ren Tingting the courage to continue living in this murderous mansion.

"What do you think?" Tang Shi looked at Ren Tingting's gloomy expression, and asked in a gentle voice.

"No, it's nothing," Ren Tingting said in a bit of a panic.

Seeing this, Tang Shi smiled slightly, got up and came to the window, and the scene of corpses was no longer visible outside the window. After Cao Wei saw Tingting again, Tang Shi rarely ordered Wang Zhangcong to be buried in the back garden. As for the burial of others, it is a different person. Speaking of which, because this place has become a murderous house, no one dares to come. Later, Zhang Songming, the only survivor of the Zhang family, paid a lot of money and strongly demanded it, so the garrison bureau sent someone to collect the body of the Zhang family in the back garden.

As for the situation in the villa and how many people died, the people from the garrison said that they would not go in. Later, Zhang Songming found out that all the Zhang family members were there, so he did not continue to ask. Ren Tingting didn't know that because no one dared to enter the villa, on the remarks of the Security Bureau, she was already a dead person like Cao Wei. And the garrison bureau is working to inform Ren Tingting's school of the bad news.

"I know what you're thinking, I haven't talked to you about it these days, so you must be curious as to why I'm here, right?" Tang Shi suddenly turned around, stared at Ren Tingting intently and said.

Since the words were clear, Ren Tingting did not evade them, and simply admitted, "Yes, I'm curious why Brother Tang is here?" That day, Cao Wei said that she had seen Brother Tang in the backyard, so was the man in black I saw that night you? ”

Tang Shi looked at her, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a grin, "That's right, it's me." ”

Ren Tingting obviously didn't expect Tang Shi to admit it so generously, and there was deep resentment in her eyes, "I didn't expect it to be really you, so you killed everyone?!" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Ren Tingting saw a painful look on Tang Shi's face, and she only heard Tang Shi say in her heart, "I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me." If it weren't for me, the Zhang family wouldn't have died. So it makes sense for you to say that I killed them. ”

Ren Tingting was stunned when she heard this, and then asked, "What the hell is going on, you can tell it clearly!" ”

Tang Shi let out a long sigh and turned his back to Ren Tingting, his sad tone and relaxed expression were incompatible. I just heard him say, "Do you remember when I said I was a fortune teller?" In fact, to be precise, I am an exorcist, and the ghost of the Zhang family is actually a scene that I dominate. ”

Then Tang Shi compiled a tortuous and tragic story, a story that has been written for a long time since he found out that Ren Tingting woke up but lost her memory. In the story, he is an exorcist, and because Zhang Yi was found dead on the train, he specially investigated the Zhang family. The results of the investigation surprised him, it turned out that there was a demon hidden in the Zhang family, this demon usually lurked in the body of Zhang Shiwen, the master of the Zhang family, and used Zhang Shiwen's identity to suck human blood and essence. Tang Shi was taken aback when he found this result, for some reason Tang Shi couldn't make a move, but fortunately it was very close to Maoshan here, so he arranged for his ghost servant to possess Zhang Songsheng to attract Maoshan Taoist.

But who knew that the demon was too powerful, the Taoist priest of Maoshan was blinded by him, and seeing that his ghost servant was dead, he had to show up, and then there was the old-fashioned battle of 300 rounds, the demon brutally killed the Zhang family, and although he finally killed the demon, he failed to save the life of the Zhang family.

"You...... Are you telling the truth? Ren Tingting asked in disbelief.

Tang Shi said in a cold tone, "If you don't believe it, then you can send me to the official to be punished, and I will never resist."

Hearing this, Ren Tingting finally wavered a little, "But...... But this thing is so bizarre, you are alone, and there is no circumstantial evidence......"

Before he finished speaking, Tang Shi turned around and looked at her directly, "Do you want to see circumstantial evidence?" ”

Ren Tingting nodded heavily, "That's right, you can only believe it if you see me"

Tang Shi showed a weird smile, "Then don't regret it!" Then he said to the air, "Come out."

When the words landed, in the originally empty room, there was suddenly one more person and one monster, it was Zhang Xiu and Wang Zhangcong. This abrupt scene frightened Ren Tingting almost fainted, Tang Shi hurriedly stepped forward to comfort, "Don't be afraid, he is my ghost servant, look again, who is that person?" ”

Ren Tingting hid behind Tang Shi and looked secretly, although Wang Zhang was covered with scale armor from his whole body, but his appearance was vaguely recognizable, after Ren Tingting saw it clearly, she was shocked, "You are the king of the road?!" ”

Wang Zhangcong smiled bitterly, "It's the poor road, it was really not my intention to frighten Miss Ren just now, and I hope Miss will forgive me." ”

By this time, Ren Tingting had already believed eighty percent, raised her head and looked at Tang Shi's pale complexion and angular facial features, and she asked softly, "What the hell is going on?" How did Wang Daochang become like this? ”

Tang Shi gently pushed Ren Tingting away and said, "Although the demon was killed in that battle, Wang Daochang was invaded by demonic qi and became like this, in fact, it was not only him, most of the exorcists were like this."

Ren Tingting keenly found that there was something in Tang Shi's words, "Brother Tang, are you also ......?"

Tang Shi looked at Ren Tingting gently and said, "That's right, I'm also a monster who has been infected by demonic qi."
