Chapter 9: The First Mission
In a Taoist temple outside Moyu City that had been abandoned for many years, Zhong Lixiu, who had hurried up from the underworld, happened to appear here.
The ghost token can only determine an approximate direction, but it can't be accurate to a certain location, but the first time Zhonglixiu teleported the location was this Taoist temple, so if it is teleported again, the token will reappear here with the previous 'memory'.
The first time he carried out this kind of magical process, Zhong Lixiu's heart was a little excited, this kind of virtual operation that can only be seen on TV is now really happening to him, plus he is back in the yang world, he can't help but be excited.
Looking at the stone statue of a Taoist priest with a broken arm, and the Taoist temple full of dust, cobwebs, and animal feces, Zhong Lixiu shook his head helplessly, most of the people now don't believe in ghosts and gods, and a good Taoist temple has fallen into this way.
Of course, he didn't believe it before, but with his personal experience now, he is naturally convinced.
Fortunately, this Taoist temple is located in a remote area, otherwise, I am afraid it would have been demolished long ago.
With the task in hand, Zhong Lixiu didn't care, went out of the Taoist temple, took out the compass and took a look, and then floated straight towards the southeast.
Although it was noon now, when the sun was shining, he had a token and a ghostly official uniform on his body, so he didn't have to worry about being burned by the sun.
I have to say that this feeling of floating in the air is really refreshing, not only can you pass through any obstacle wantonly, but also the speed is very fast, and the most important thing is not tired!
And as long as he wants to fall to the ground, he can do it at any time, if he doesn't want to float forward, he can still walk, it's just an amphibious land!
When encountering a high-rise building or something, Zhong Lixiu went directly through it, of course he would not pass directly from someone else's house, after all, there is a difference between yin and yang, if he adds a little yin to someone else's house and sees something that should not be seen, it will be a sin.
So Zhong Lixiu chose to avoid residential areas and walk through the streets, and he didn't waste much time.
Walking through the bustling crowd, it didn't take long for Zhong Lixiu to rush to the place pointed by the compass, in a courtyard, a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe, holding a peachwood sword in his hand, with a solemn expression, and an incense case in front of him, it seemed that he was going to do a ritual.
After a while, I saw that the Taoist priest was like a drunk monkey, trembling a few times, stepping on the drunken steps, jumping around on the ground with a peachwood sword, and constantly muttering something in his mouth, anyway, Zhong Lixiu didn't understand a word.
Zhong Lixiu had seen this kind of ritual before, if the person who died in someone's family was a child, or if there was a grievance, he would invite a Taoist priest to do a ritual so that the deceased could rest in peace.
It's just that it's useless or not, it's unknown, and the biggest significance of doing so is that the deceased's family can feel a little better.
Several people in white mourning clothes stood aside with each other's arms, watching the Taoist priest do things, some with red eyes, while others were not shocked, and even had a feeling of joy, as if the deceased had a grudge against them.
Standing on the wall and looking at it a few times, Zhong Lixiu, who was bored, floated into the mourning hall, and the Taoist priest who pretended to be didn't notice his existence, and still performed on his own, as if he had been intoxicated and couldn't extricate himself.
In the mourning hall, wreaths are placed all around, longevity materials are placed in the center, and a posthumous image is hung on the wall. He was a middle-aged man who looked to be about forty years old.
It's just that I don't know if it's the photographer's problem, or the middle-aged man himself has that expression, anyway, the photo looks fierce and vicious, although it's a posthumous photo.
And the ghost of the deceased was floating above Shoucai at this time, looking at Zhong Lixiu with an unkind face, but he didn't show any nervousness. Instead, there is a feeling that the nostrils are facing the sky.
"Are you a ghost?"
The man was the first to speak, his tone was very stiff, and even a little provocative.
"That's right." , Zhong Lixiu said lightly: "Since you are dead, then follow me to the underworld to report." ”
"What can you do with me if I don't go? Bite me? ”
The middle-aged man snorted disdainfully.
Zhong Lixiu wondered, why did this person seem to have an enmity against him? Come up and be scared?
"If you want to resist, you can give it a try, no matter how good you are, I will also detain you to the underworld today!"
Zhong Lixiu's tone was a little cold, since the other party was so arrogant and domineering, then he had to show some strength to beat him down.
"Hehe, you can try!"
The middle-aged man sneered, then floated aside, violently overturned the incense case, and sprinkled the offerings on the ground with a crackle.
When the people outside heard the movement in the mourning hall, they were really startled, and they thought that a wild cat or something had entered the mourning hall to make trouble, so they hurriedly ran in.
But when I looked around, there was nothing, what cat had so much strength to overturn the incense case?
"This ...... Something is wrong, daddy, I remember there is nothing in this mourning hall, right? And we're outside, and we didn't see any wild dogs running in or anything, why did this incense case turn over? ”
A woman's heart is a little hairy, after all, this is happening in the mourning hall, it is inevitable that people are a little scared.
"Don't think about it, maybe the incense case hasn't been put away." , The man glared at his woman, hurriedly walked to the incense case, squatted down and looked, the incense case lying on the ground was fine, and there was no missing arm or leg.
The man lifted the incense case up and put it back in place, very steadily, and the incense case weighing more than 30 kilograms would fall down because of the uneven placement of the offerings on it? I'm afraid this is a deception, right?
The man thought for a moment, and then felt that something was wrong, glanced at the others, and hurriedly ran out and called the Taoist priest in.
The Taoist priest who knew the ins and outs of the matter was holding a peachwood sword in his right hand, holding a piece of rune paper in his left hand, holding a big belly, and swaggering in. ”
Then, the Taoist priest glanced back at everyone, squinted and smiled: "With this Heavenly Master here, you can put a hundred hearts!" Don't come in if you hear anything later, just wait in the yard and remember! ”
After telling him, how dare everyone refute, they walked out one after another, knowing that this was a good opportunity to make money, the Taoist priest walked in the door, and then closed the door, muttering: "This is forced to pretend to be a little bit, otherwise, they will not be willing to add money!" ”
Thinking of this, the Taoist priest kicked the incense case over again, and shouted extremely exaggeratedly: "You are a demon, you dare to go to other people's funerals to make a mistake, this heavenly master will accept you today, so as to eliminate harm for the people!" ”
Zhong Lixiu floated in the air speechlessly, just watching him pretending to be forced so quietly.
But the ghost of the middle-aged man moved, and I saw him sneer, "whoosh," and floated to the back of the Taoist priest, and then he actually stood up to the Taoist priest's body!
