Chapter 225: The Side Door
In the warehouse, Su Cheng, Tian Daoren and Zhang Wuji looked at the log recorded by the county government, and the content recorded on it was much more detailed than that of the shopkeeper.
From the log recorded by the county government, it can be seen that the first person to have an accident was the Ruyi girl in the drunken fragrance building in the city, and after picking up the guests, when she was resting in the house, she suddenly disappeared.
Later, two more people disappeared in the Zuixiang Building, and then several people in its vicinity also disappeared, and within a radius of several miles, people disappeared without a trace, and in just half a year, dozens of people disappeared.
The strange thing is that these people disappeared too completely, leaving no trace, no blood, and no bones, and the people of the county government had no choice but to invite a Taoist from Fucheng, but in the end they still did not solve this problem, but only left those runes.
"Judging from the situation recorded above, this person is a person from the Qingdi Temple, and has been inherited for hundreds of years, judging from the runic water in front of the city gate, it must be a person with Taoism, and such a person has not found any traces of monsters?"
Su Cheng looked at Tian Daoren, and his heart moved slightly, and the secret path may have been misunderstood.
The ancestors of Tian Dao are all masters of the Tao, and now they have cultivated to the realm of Jindan, although it sounds like this, but in the real world of Liaozhai, Jindan cultivation is already the top of the sky, and ordinary people may not even be able to get started in cultivation throughout their lives.
First, the inheritance is too difficult, and the masters will not easily accept apprentices and will not easily preach the Dao Fa, and the second is that the requirements for qualifications and temperament are too high, even if the Dao Fa is placed in front, it may not be able to cultivate mana.
Characters like Su Cheng, when they groped for the Xuanzhen Treasure Record alone, did not fully understand the content at this moment.
"I have also heard of the Qingdi Temple, although its ancestor is a loose cultivator, but his own talent is extraordinary, and there are some adventures, and finally became a master, in his later years, he established the Qingdi Temple, but the later apprentices and grandchildren have poor qualifications, and now there are few people in the view, even if they have the ability to solve it, I am afraid that they will not dare."
Tian Daoren explained some situations, in this dangerous world, if you don't have the corresponding strength, forcing some things to come out, it will only harm others and yourself, and the Qingdi Concept will not be inherited for hundreds of years, and it will have long been lost in history.
Regardless of whether the demons here are powerful or not, once the Qingdi View attracts too much attention, it is not a good thing for it, and there are also powerful existence among the demons, so they will make a move against the Qingdi Temple.
Zhang Wuji nodded on the side, he pointed to the record on the log, and said:
"Let's take a look at the situation in this drunken incense building first, maybe we will find something."
Su Cheng nodded, Tian Daoren also put down the book, and then the three of them politely refused the enthusiasm of those people in the county government, and then left the government office and went to the vicinity of the drunken incense building.
For half a month, people have disappeared one after another, and the originally lively Zuixiang Building is no longer there, and it is very quiet inside and out.
When the three of Su Cheng entered the Zuixiang Building, they couldn't help frowning, although there was a demonic aura here, it was very weak, and if there was none, it was difficult to find its traces.
Stomp, stomp!
At this moment, a middle-aged man came in from outside again, tall, elegant, with thin eyes and long beard, and a gentle demeanor, with a graceful demeanor.
This bearing is normal, and the most important thing is that this person's aura is deep, and he is definitely a master of Taoism, but he doesn't know why he is here at this time.
The person who came held a folding fan, smiled on his face, and clasped his fists towards the three of Su Cheng and said:
"Xu Hongru has seen you, could it be that you are also investigating the affairs here?"
Xu Hongru?
Wait, the name...... A member of the White Lotus Sect?
Su Cheng's heart moved, and he immediately remembered the identity of the person, and in the chat, this person can be regarded as a master.
From the records of Liaozhai, it can be seen that Xu Hongru once got a strange book, called the Book of Zuo Dao, which can cut paper as soldiers, scatter beans into horses, drive ghosts and gods, and have the ability to call for wind and rain, and can interfere with the operation of heaven and earth, which is definitely a remarkable character.
However, even such a powerful figure, when he rebelled later, he only lasted for more than half a year before being directly suppressed by the imperial court.
From this, it can be seen that the imperial court must have extraordinary means to deal with these beings with cultivation.
In fact, it's not just Xu Hongru, there are many evil ways and demons in Liaozhai, and it's okay to deal with ordinary people, but in the face of officials (this chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 225: The Side Door
The power of the government basically can't last long.
Judging from the reactions of the people of Tian Dao on the side, Xu Hongru should not have rebelled at this time, otherwise he would not have directly reported his name.
"I've seen Daoyou, we are indeed here to deal with demons, could it be that Daoyou is the same?"
Although Tian Daoren didn't know Xu Hongru's origin, he was also extremely polite.
Xu Hongru has Taoism and excellent bearing, such a character will naturally arouse people's favor.
In the original plot, there are not many descriptions of Xu Hongru, judging from his life experience, he is not an evil demon, but he is not a righteous person, perhaps he should be called a left-handed sidedoor, a person who is also righteous and evil.
Therefore, although Su Cheng was wary and had no hostility towards him, he arched his hand with Zhang Wuji on the side, but he did not speak.
"Yes, I've been here for a few days, but I've found out something, and it's the rumored Yaksha who is causing trouble here......"
Xu Hongru talked about his discovery, and it seemed that he did not hide it at all.
Yaksha is a ghost that turns into a very evil person after he dies, very ferocious, cannibalistic, has two wings, can fly rapidly, is ever-changing, varied, exists in Buddhism, also exists in the sea, and also exists in the underworld, which is a common kind of ghost.
If the things here are really done by the Yakshas, ordinary people really can't handle it, after all, they can be named the god of Dharma Protector by the Buddhism, and they are listed as one of the eight tribes of the Heavenly Dragon, and the East China Sea Dragon Palace also has the Yaksha of the Patrol Sea, and the Underworld also has the Shura Yaksha, which is definitely not a simple role.
Tian Daoren also knew about the Yaksha, nodded, knowing the ferocity and power of this kind of ghost, frowned and said:
"Nakshatra? No wonder it's so weird...... Does that gentleman know the whereabouts of this Yaksha? ”
Although the Yaksha is powerful, with the joint efforts of several people in the field of Taoism, they will inevitably be able to solve each other, and the most important thing is to find the traces of the other party.
Xu Hongru shook his head with a smile, pointed to the sky, and then said:
"The people here almost all disappear after nightfall, and I think when the sky is completely dark, we will look for this yaksha, and we should find its whereabouts."
Tian Daoren nodded with Su Cheng and Zhang Wuji when they heard this, and then stayed in the Zuixiang Building with Xu Hongru, waiting for the night to fall and the appearance of the Yaksha.
During this period, Su Cheng quietly inquired about Xu Hongru several times, guessing in his heart the reason for the other party's appearance.
From the original plot, it can be seen that Xu Hongru should be busy with the uprising and rebellion at this time, how could he come here to solve the matter of Yaksha?
Whew!
When night fell, the wind gusted, Su Cheng stared, retracted his thoughts, and watched the void clouds surge, and the good show in his heart was about to begin.
