Chapter 18 Painted Skin I
Xiucai saw that Xu Yang agreed, and then said, "I was originally a big willow tree in Taiyuan, and because of its huge supernatural growth, many young men and women like to make wishes and worship here! Under the perennial years, I have given birth to a trace of sanity, and I am full of curiosity about everything at that time, and I yearn for the human world! There are many people to accompany me during the day, but I am very lonely at night. One day, a couple of men and women suddenly came at night, I know both of them, they used to come here to meet during the day, so it is not strange to know them, the strange thing is that they will come at night, you must know that the night is fast! So their arrival is the first time for me that someone will come at night, through their chat, I know that the woman's name is Chen Yan, a very common name, but it is a famous rich child in Taiyuan City. The two of them love each other very much, but because Wang Sheng's family is very poor and there is an old lady to support, it is impossible for them to get married. So Chen Yan came out at night and took a lot of gold and silver from home to Wang Sheng, hoping that he would be the top student in high school and then come to marry her in a beautiful way! Wang Sheng didn't want those gold and silver, but when he thought that he didn't even have the money to pay for the exam, he accepted the money! Then they all left, and they didn't come for a long time, and I wanted to know what the end of the two of them was, but I was trapped in the tree and couldn't come out, so I thought about it..."
Hearing this, Xu Yang sounded as if he was in the scene, as if he was a big tree, and after countless years of experience, he gave birth to a wisp of divine soul, but unfortunately no one taught it exercises, so it could only silently listen to other people's conversations and watch others walk freely...
"I thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a solution, that is, although my body can't move, but my spirit can, and I've been happy for my wit for a long time. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for me to be disappointed, because it was difficult for my soul to go out, but I didn't give up because of this, although it was difficult, but at least there was a possibility! I worked hard for a long time, maybe a year, two years, or three years? I forgot, I only knew that after a long time, finally one night my spirit naturally floated out of the body, and my whole person was light and fluttering, without a little weight floating on the top of my head, and I saw my body. It was 30 meters high, 8 meters in circumference at one meter above the ground, with dense branches and leaves, and a top like a canopy. I was glad that it was my essence, and then I looked around again, and the scene was as usual, and then I looked at the ground, and there was no shadow in the moonlight, as if it didn't exist at all, and the feeling of being formless and substantial, was very mysterious. Unbelievable!
Whew!
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, an intense cold. When the wind blows on your body, you feel as if you are standing in the middle of the ice and snow. At the same time, it is as if a drowning person who has fallen into the water and cannot swim has fallen into the ocean and will die at any time.
Helpless, powerless, feeling very uncomfortable and terrifying. I knew I was about to die, so I made a vow at that time that if anyone could save my life, I would repay him well! She walked briskly under my body and inserted incense. At the moment of ignition, I felt as if I had returned to spring from the ice and snow, although my body was still a little cold, but I could accept it, so I knew that incense could help the soul out of the body! Because Chen Yan's unconscious actions saved my life.
Later, I met a Taoist priest, and he saw that I had condensed my soul, but I couldn't cultivate, maybe he took pity on me, but the Taoist priest's eyes were full of greed! I didn't understand what I could like by that Taoist priest? I was scared at the time, but the strange thing was that the Taoist priest didn't embarrass me, and even gave me a side of the exercise! I followed the above exercises, practiced to the day travel period, at this time the soul can be out of the body during the day, I can't wait to go to Chen Yan to see how she is doing now, but when I arrived at her house, I found that she had left the original Wang Sheng to be admitted to the lift, at this time there happened to be a vacancy in the county order, so Wang Sheng went to get it, and then Wang Sheng married Chen Yan brightly, and came to this Yangxin County with Chen Yan. Since the spirits of the day travel period can travel thousands of miles in a day, I will come here to visit Chen Yan whenever I have time! Some time ago, I happened to meet the sloppy Taoist priest on the way here, and he was talking to an old man at that time, and he was probably careless so he didn't notice me. I was also very curious about what a monk in the exorcism period and a mortal had to say? So I listened to it, it didn't matter if I didn't listen, I didn't expect that this Yangxin County, including the entire Teng County, would be plagued. It turned out that this Taoist priest was a mountain god of some mountain, because this mountain god is now no one to worship all year round, so he was resentful. This time, he plans to send his generals to drive away a large number of locusts to eat the crops, and also ask the Taoist priest to find four corpse ghosts for him to summon! When I heard this, I felt that something was wrong, so I wanted to report to the city god here. I didn't expect to be discovered by the Taoist priest, and although I ran in time, I was still injured! I returned to my body to recuperate for a while, and after the injury was healed, I hurriedly reported to the city god here! When the city god first met me, he was very polite, but when he heard that the mountain god's subordinates all had a repellent period, he didn't want to care about it. Just a strong shirk... Saying that this matter is a matter of the underworld, he can't be managed by a netherworld official... Or that the mountain god is also a god, how does he care... I was in a hurry, so he invited me out... I haven't seen him since.
Today I suddenly saw Wang Shengniang talking to the Taoist priest, so I listened, it turned out that Wang Sheng's house now lives in a monster, so I want to ask the Taoist priest to take a look. As soon as I heard this, I knew that the Taoist priest was doing this, and at a glance he knew that there was a villain, and how could he do things to help others? But he agreed, and I thought that maybe he knew that monster, and he was probably not here to subdue demons, but for other purposes. I wanted to stop it, but I found that I couldn't beat that sloppy Taoist priest because I didn't have the strength to travel in the day... At this time, the adults also happened to come, because I had just met the city god, so as soon as I saw the faint smell of incense on the adults, I guessed that the adults might also be a god?
What a great merit is that the adults only need to get rid of the locust general to save the people of a county? I don't think the adults will give up! As a trading partner, the adults only need to help me get rid of the demon path again, and I think the adults will definitely agree, right?"
"That's right, but it's not just the locusts and the sloppy Taoist priests, but also the mountain god and the city god. The god of a mountain doesn't want to make a living for the people, but thinks about how to harm people, this is no longer a god... Not only am I going to get rid of him, but I'm going to knock him down from the altar so that he won't be resurrected because someone worships him! And the city god didn't do anything bad, but he was no longer fit to be a city god."
After Liu Xiucai heard Xu Yang's plan, he said excitedly, "I didn't expect that the adults have such an idea, and I am willing to help the adults!
After listening to Liu Xiucai's experience, Xu Yang had the idea of recruiting Liu Xiucai as his subordinate. You don't have to go, I can do it alone, but after I get rid of the mountain gods, there will be no mountain gods here, because I can't appoint the mountain gods, but I can appoint the city gods, and the loss of two gods here at once may give those monsters a chance, so I want to appoint you as the new city god! At the same time, I will allocate manpower for you to prevent the demons and monsters from causing trouble!"
Liu Xiucai was surprised and said, "I, can I? You must know that my body is still too far away."
