"Senior, why are you taking human oil here?"

"Pindao is not here to get human oil, Pindao is here to practice! This is my home! Taking human oil is just a casual thing!" Hua Taoist solemnly corrected, "This is not only convenient for me, but also convenient for these lazy people in the capital.

, a woman who has no restraint and wants to be beautiful is the beauty of an adult."

"Senior, what do you do with human oil?"

"My little friends don't know. The paper-cutting technique that I majored in is very similar to your art of carving beans into soldiers. Although it is easier to draw materials than the art of carving beans into soldiers, it also has other weaknesses." Although Taoist Hua is not familiar with it,

I care about being heard by them, but I have to care about the three people from Zhenjian Palace next to me.

The person said, "Although I have overcome this weakness, there are other fellow Taoists who practice this method who have not overcome it. The weaknesses in this type of magic are also the lifeblood of Taoists. It is difficult for me to say this, so as not to spread the word."

It’s not good to go out, um, it’s not good. It’s better to come down and tell the kid alone.”

This senior Hua is quite particular.

However, Director Jiang next to him spoke:

"Are you afraid of water and fire?"

"Huh?"

The Taoist Hua turned his head in surprise, his eyes widening as he said, "You are a Taoist, but you are quite knowledgeable at such a young age!"

Director Jiang kept silent and did not answer.

In this case, there is no need for the florist to hide it.

"Indeed, this spell is made of paper. Paper has always been afraid of water and fire." Hua Taoist said, "If someone doesn't know this weakness and encounters paper soldiers, paper generals, and paper yaksha, they will just think that it is made of other magic.

The generals and yakshas are stupid

Some of them thought they were real generals and yakshas, ​​so it was extremely difficult to deal with them with brute force. But if they knew this weakness and were prepared, then a water bottle or a torch from the submarine army could defeat them.

It can be defeated to death."

The sun has completely come out, reflecting the thousands of mountains, making them look greener. A few people are enjoying the breeze and talking in the mountains.

"If you don't want to be afraid of water, you have to use oil paper. But oil paper is even more afraid of fire. If you want to not be afraid of fire, you have to use human oil to make oil paper, and then use special techniques to carefully refine it, so that it can be impervious to water and fire."

"I see."

"Although Pindao is a casual cultivator, he is still considered to be from a decent family. He can't do anything like killing people and frying oil, and he is afraid of retribution. Fortunately, after living for so many years, he has also acquired some other skills, so he can

We get oil for people here." Taoist Hua said with his eyes widened, "They are also happy, Master Taoist, I am happy too, even the dignitaries in the capital are happy, the only one who is not happy is the Stargazing Palace."

Lin Jue nodded and continued to ask:

"So about the murder of women in the capital now, those women have all been here before senior. Does senior have any clues?"

"How does Pindao know? Pindao only takes human oil, but does not take human life. Moreover, he does not only take human oil from women, but also from men... It is still early today. If it were later, hey, wait, why are you doing this?

No one has come up the mountain yet?"

"We invited a junior brother to stop him at the bottom of the mountain," Taoist Priest Qingxuan said with a smile.

"It turns out it's you!" Hua Taoist said, "I also said that if it were later, you would still see men coming to ask for help! Poor Taoists don't pay attention to these things!"

"I've seen it before," Lin Jue said.

"Isn't that enough? What's more, Pindao doesn't cut open his stomach to get the oil, nor does he stick it in with a bamboo tube to extract it, but he takes it from a distance. Over the years, Pindao has become very familiar with it, and he has never appeared.

How could something like this happen if you beat someone to death?"

"Um……"

Lin Jue didn't say anything, just looked back.

Unconsciously, Luo Monk was standing behind them, holding a horse in his hand, and carrying a short middle-aged man on the horse's back, motionless and breathless.

"Still alive!"

Luo Monk met his gaze and said something.

This is actually a kind of proof——

According to Hua Taoist, according to his temper, this fellow Taoist Wan came to seek revenge, and his words were very dirty. If this revenge is true, and if this dog demon is really a harmful evil, this fellow Taoist Wan will

It must have been crushed to pieces.

However, Luo Gong obviously heard what they said before. He frowned, not knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly asked:

"Do you have a grudge against Stargazing Palace?"

"Huh? Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Investigating the case."

"Is this a question in the investigation?"

"Please answer."

"If we talk about hatred, there is some, but not much, and it has been many years. It is a little bigger than the hatred you have at Fuqiu Peak, but only a little bit bigger." Hua Taoist said.

"What grudge?"

"That's the Taoist Konggu from before. He once sent soldiers to surround Yushan. At that time, Guanxing Palace was proud of itself and felt that it was the best conservator in the world. They were the ones who issued the ultimatum to Taoist Fuqiu Guan. Everyone should do it.

I listened to them and came to the rescue. Haha, I got beaten up."

When the Hua Taoist talked about being "beaten up", it was obviously a dog's head, but when he opened the dog's mouth and shook his head, it turned into a laugh that could be seen by humans:

"It was a terrible beating!

"But so many years have passed since the incident, how can people remember it? I'm afraid they can't remember it long ago. The only thing they remember is that the Taoist priests at Fuqiu Temple didn't listen to them.

"Um?"

The Hua Taoist said for a while, and seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly turned and stared at Lin Jue: "Little boy, you are here today. Could it be that the Stargazing Palace asked you to come?"

"No, it's Juxian Mansion, the official of the Ministry of Rites, and I came here on my own initiative." Lin Jue said calmly.

"As long as it's not the Star Observation Palace!" Hua Taoist breathed a sigh of relief, "If they ask you to come to me to cause trouble and fight with me, you must have evil intentions!"

Monk Luo beside him frowned.

This is exactly what he was thinking.

Stargazers may not necessarily be stingy, but they are very arrogant, and arrogance often leads to small belly and chicken intestines.

It turned out that he knew that Lin Jue had just returned and Wu Lingshi from the Ministry of Rites came to the door the next day, but he just thought that they were well-informed or it was a coincidence.

It turned out that he knew about the stone horse, and one night during dinner he heard Lin Jue talking about the old Taoist from the Star Gazing Palace he met when leaving the Sutra Pavilion. The two parties seemed a little unhappy, but they also thought it was a coincidence.

Until today, when he heard that Guanxing Palace knew the details of this flower dog and was dissatisfied with it and had a bad impression of Fuqiu Temple, he instinctively thought of one thing -

This flower dog has such a weird temper that if someone comes, he will inevitably be intimidated by it. Unless he retreats and runs away, there will inevitably be a fight.

If the fight really gets angry and leads to life and death, no matter who wins or loses, it will not be a good outcome.

Even the one who survives, as long as one day he knows that this monster is not the real murderer, or even a friend of his ancestors, or that this Taoist is not here to kill him, it is equivalent to inheriting his old friend Hong Ye

The descendants of Guan, no matter which side they are, how should they practice Taoism and cultivate their minds in the future?

What's even better is that even if there is no difference between life and death between the two parties and there is no fight, there will be no harm to the Star Observation Palace, it will just make them recognize each other earlier.

Luo Monk shook his head.

There is definitely no evidence for this kind of thing.

Just listen to Hua Gou continue to say:

"Those bull noses in the Star Observation Palace...

"Eh? I didn't tell you!

"Anyway, they always feel that Pindao has robbed them of the incense, and they always want to cause trouble, but Pindao doesn't take the incense at all. From Pindao's point of view, it is probably because they have been using their deceptive skills to get incense for too long, and they can no longer see Zheng.

Erba is already a 'spirit' that takes care of things."

Hearing this, Director Jiang smiled softly.

Taoist Master Qingxuan also laughed, but in a more cheerful manner, and he obviously agreed with this.

This is exactly the reason why they came to the capital.

It was only then that it seemed that it was basically confirmed that the monster had nothing to do with the murderer. Taoist Master Qingxuan stood up and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that he was an old friend of Senior Yishan, and also an old friend of Daoyou Lin and Daoyou Liu.

Okay, okay, there's no bigger misunderstanding."

"you……"

"We are also from Huizhou." Taoist Master Qingxuan said, "Qingxuan, a poor Taoist from Qiyunshan, is currently living and cultivating in Zhenjian Palace."

Immediately, Director Jiang and Junior Brother Ma also announced their names.

"I know you, aren't you the ones sent by Emperor Yujian and Lord Yili to compete with Tian Weng for incense!" Hua Taoist said in a loud voice, and turned around after finishing speaking, "Although no common people are coming up the mountain anymore, don't stand there either.

Let’s talk here. Let’s go to Pindao’s cave for a talk.”

Several people looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

"good!"

"Wait a moment, Mr. Rong Dao, let me clean up."

After the flower master finished speaking, he bent down again and quickly picked up the chopped and burned paper on the ground, looking like he was diligent and thrifty.

Several people also went to help, and the junior sister worked the most seriously.

Lin Jue then walked towards the many bean soldiers and saw that their armors were damaged and the areas not covered by the armors were full of scars from swords and stabbed with arrows. He felt heartbroken.

Then he pulled out the arrows for them one by one, and carefully cleaned the wounds to ensure that there were no arrows or broken wood or bamboo branches from the arrows, and then recalled them.

It's inevitable to make some repairs when you go back.

At this time, Lin Jue thought -

It would be great if there were longevity trees.

The third senior brother told him that although the longevity wood is not too hard, it is no different to make bean soldiers. However, after the bean soldiers carved from the longevity wood are injured, as long as the arms and legs are not broken, or the roots are injured, they can be used.

It will recover on its own under the sacrifice.

Just right for a lazy person like him.

"well……"

It's a pity that the tree of immortality is hard to come by.

When Lin Jue finished cleaning up, everyone also helped Taoist Hua collect the pieces of paper on the ground and folded them neatly into a big pile. Taoist Hua called a few wolf-headed soldiers to come over and move the papers back to the cave.

Several people made a gesture of invitation:

"please!"

Several people looked at each other and followed suit.

The little junior sister had to ride a horse if she had to walk. She sat upright on the back of the stone horse, holding her long sword and swaying slightly with the pace of the stone horse. Sometimes she looked around, sometimes with a serious face, as if she was posing.

The image of a taciturn master.

Behind her, Taoist Priests Jiang and Qingxuan looked at her, then at the two stone horses, and couldn't help but look at each other.

Not long after, we arrived at a cave.

The florist still invited them in.

After walking in, my vision immediately darkened.

The cave is not very wide, but it is very tall and long, and it seems to be transparent. There is always just the right breeze, making the air inside very fresh. At this time of year, it is neither cold nor hot.

"Although Pindao lives in a cave, in fact, this is one of the treasured places where the aura of Baili Fengshan is concentrated! Pindao's cave is also special. The main door opens here and the back door opens on the other side of the mountain. Unless it is snowing in the twelfth lunar month of winter,

, the main door is not sealed, but the back door can be closed or made small to control the wind in the cave.

"There are curves in the cave to prevent the wind from passing through.

"Humph! You came at the wrong time. If you come during the scorching heat of summer, you will know that it is cool. If you come during the cold winter, you will know that it is warm. It is a rare treasure in the world!"

Luo Gong listened and didn't want to answer.

The junior sister was still sitting on the horse, even though her head couldn't be touched, she still bent over habitually. When she heard this, she couldn't help but say:

"It's cool in the mountains in summer."

"Eh! Who said that? You won't know until you come here. Master Dao, my place is the coolest!"

As he was talking, he had already entered the depths of the cave.

It was completely dark all around.

In such an environment, there was almost no light, and even a dog's eyes could not see clearly, so the florist patted the wall, and the surroundings lit up with firelight.

The firelight illuminated a spacious cave, connected to an even more spacious cave chamber, and also reflected the paper figures standing on both sides of the spacious cave - starting from this section of the cave, at every other section of the road, two paper figures were trapped.

Supported by bamboo frames, they were placed on both sides of the cave, with another Yaksha standing a distance away.

The paper figures are scary enough in the first place, and they all look like ferocious monsters with green faces and fangs. In addition, the paper figures are shiny and shiny, leaning against the cave, with their faces reflecting the light of the fire, which makes them look quite creepy.

The little junior sister was already looking a little dull.

Luo Gong, Taoist Priest Qingxuan and Taoist Priest Jiang were equally surprised, while Junior Brother Ma felt even more frightened.

Only then did a few people know——

The flower priest didn't lie. He did not bring all the troops out.

Lin Jue even saw cavalry with guns and bows in the cave. In a daze, he was reminded of the scene where he and others were chased by the three hundred light cavalry in the Western Regions.

Fortunately, there are only a dozen cavalry here, and the total number of all the soldiers and generals may not be 300, and the mountain is not suitable for cavalry combat.

Otherwise, it’s really hard to say whether we will win or lose.

And the troops here, no matter where they are placed, are already a force that cannot be ignored.

"No wonder..."

No wonder Stargazing Palace hasn’t taken action against him for so many years.
