20. Suspicious Clouds in Huanglin Ancient Village(1/2)
The Yunyou team led by Chen Taoist set out, and their first stop was Fengming Mountain City.
Fengming Mountain City is a big city in Dao Township, located between the five palaces of Xiaoyao Road.
Due to geographical reasons, this place has become a "transit station".
In Fengmingshan City, as a subordinate of the Ministry of Justice of the Government, there are complex channels. They will collect strange and suspected cases in the surrounding cases, and then set up "open lists" and "secret lists".
The files on the Mingban are all cases of thieves and thieves and thieves causing chaos, and these are solved by Liushemen.
The files in the secret list are some suspected cases of demons, and these cases will be visited by the Liusanmen leader in person and then handed over to the corresponding secret list.
Normally, Taoist priests would not refuse, because this is their experience, and the existence of the dark list saved them a lot of time.
......
Fengming Mountain City is also a big city on the south road of the Twelve Mountains of the Imperial Palace.
In such a big city, there are naturally many residents.
Even the rails are there.
The steam train will pass by here with smoke, then go north to the Tianque Emperor Capital, and east to the Blue Ocean City. The trains will bring many strange gadgets, which are popular among women and children.
Therefore, on the streets here, women who are radiant and dressed in particularly fashionable styles and exposed their skin can often be seen, and men who are in straight suits and gentlemen's hats.
But this place is a Taoist town after all.
Almost everyone believes in Taoist country.
Therefore, there will naturally be no missing Taoist temples.
The Taoist temples here are all Xiaoyao Dao, but there are five sects.
They are "Tai Chi Palace", "Yunshan Palace", "Huanchen Palace", "Xuansu Palace", and "Tianling Palace".
Tai Chi Palace believes that both life and life can reach the extreme and enter the Tao.
Yunshan Palace, known as Maoshan Palace in ancient times, believed that only by making achievements can one enter the Tao, so he was particularly good at catching monsters.
In the Huanchen Palace, it is believed that only by understanding the demonic thoughts in the mind can one enter the Tao, so it is necessary to do strange and weird things.
Xuansu Palace believes that the dual cultivation of yin and yang can enter the Tao, and can even reach the state of "white hair and darker hair, and fall in teeth and rejuvenation."
The Tianling Palace believed that morality can lead to the Tao, so most of these Taoists had connections with dynasty officials, imparting the ways of health preservation of officials and even emperors, and promoting Taoist ideas so that they do not need tyranny and treat the people with modestness.
......
The Taoist temple in Taiji Palace in Fengming Mountain City is Xia Ji's first stop.
The Taoist temple master is an old man of the same generation as Zhang Zhenren. Because he was seriously injured and could not continue to practice, he was unable to become a real person and stopped at the Taoist priest who received the talisman.
At this time, the master of the temple welcomed the Yunyou team led by the Taoist Chen.
It's getting late.
After a simple ceremony, the audience took out a volume of "Dark List Files" and said in a calm voice: "This is the information I have recently obtained for the dark list. Please go and investigate it at the right time."
The Chen Taoist took the slightly yellow picture axis and expanded it, which was divided into two parts: upper and lower parts.
The upper part is a map,
The map is a detailed path from Fengming Mountain City to the destination, as well as some surrounding mountains and water potentials.
The destination here is the three words "Huanglin Village".
This is a village about thirty or forty miles away from Qiantang River. It is far from the city and there are only some undulating hills around it.
The lower part is a general description of the event.
The Chen Taoist glanced at him quickly and found that it was probably a normal disaster, that is, the villagers disappeared and died.
He put away the scroll and saluted slightly, "Uncle Master, we will set out tomorrow morning."
The audience nodded and said, "Let's have a good rest tonight."
......
the next day.
The Taoist boy from Tai Chi Palace Taoist Temple in Fengming Mountain Village drove a carriage. After driving for most of the day, he entered a winding mountain village.
Then the Taoist boy saluted slightly and drove back.
This is the process.
The carriage is sent to people, and when the matter is over, the Yunyou team can contact us through the "Lingxi Jade Circle", and the host will naturally send the carriage to pick him up.
If the destination is very far away, the carriage will stop in a nearby city and wait.
You should know that there are more than one Taoist temple outside the Tai Chi Palace.
In the mountain village,
The village has brought many people outside to greet them.
When the third senior brother saw the white-haired old man, he brought four people to meet him.
Both parties began a normal and polite greeting, and the third senior brother was very good at this.
But soon,
The third senior brother felt that the junior brother's gaze was wrong. He followed the junior brother's gaze, and something was even more wrong with the place where the gaze fell.
It was a plump beauty, set off by the dusty villagers around. This beauty was so charming. It was as plump as a peach that was just right. Even if you imitate it, you could smell the plump and juicy sweetness of peaches. There was also a beautiful white bead flower on the lightly tied hair. The half-penned pearls shaking and seductive.
The third senior brother suddenly recalled the words that the junior brother once said in the Demon Locking Tower, "It's too small."
This beautiful woman just matches her junior brother's aesthetic view.
Oh no!
The junior brother is moved.
After these days, the third senior brother knew very clearly that the younger brother was a Wudang mountain grass on the surface, and a little slut inside.
This eye is ill-intentioned.
And at this moment, the beautiful woman seemed to feel the gaze of the young Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest was tall and elegant, strong but gentle. She even lowered her head shyly, looking like she wanted to refuse but welcomed her.
The third senior brother was shocked.
So easy? Should I say that my Wudang Mountain Grass is too strong?
If the junior brother's cultivation level is one-tenth of his appearance, it would be OK... What a pity.
The third senior brother sighed secretly.
On the other side, because the beautiful woman was standing in the back, no one in the village saw her movements and expressions.
The old man in the lead walked forward with a worried look on his face. The old tree's dead bark's forehead was pressed into a mud after the rain. He looked at the Taoist priests in front of him with anticipation.
The third senior brother walked forward and supported the old man.
The old man's mouth trembled and he actually fell down directly, "Please ask the Immortals to save us."
The third senior brother supported the old man, looked up at the village, and a trace of his aura was released from his body, and he opened it here like his eyes.
But something strange happened.
There is nothing.
Surprisingly calm.
The third senior brother narrowed his eyes, used his hands to carry out his strength, and smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, please tell me in detail."
The old man was the village chief of this village. He sighed and began to tell the story.
This is the thing.
Although Huanglin Village is young, it has also produced talents. This man’s surname is Huang Zheng and he is a civil servant of the fourth rank in Tianque Emperor Capital.
But two years ago, Huang Zheng seemed to have written an article that angered the current emperor, and was then removed from his official position, restored his status as a commoner, and returned to his hometown.
He brought a wife, a concubine, two maids and two servants, and then returned to Huanglin Village. Everything was normal afterwards.
But suddenly one day, Huang Zhengyi couldn't afford to get sick and had to rest in bed. At first, everyone thought it was because they had just returned from the imperial capital and were not accommodating.
But... slowly, strange things happened.
Although Huang Zheng was still talking in his mouth, he screamed in horror, "My body, my body."
Huang Zheng's concubine hurried forward, but Huang Zheng grabbed it with his hands and couldn't move it.
The concubine finally broke free and hurried out to call the village doctor.
As a result, when the doctor returned to look, he found Huang Zheng's head tilted to the bed, with his eyes wide open to the door.
The concubine felt something was wrong and stepped forward to lift the quilt. As a result, Huang Zheng turned all over his body and only had his head left.
Later, the police officers from the six gates of the city also came to investigate, but found nothing.
I thought the matter would be over, but a few days later, Huang Zheng's wife disappeared mysteriously. When she was discovered, she was half of her body on the mountain. If it weren't for the embroidered shoes on her feet... no one would have recognized her, because the half of the body had rotted for a long time.
The villagers did not associate the two things together, but thought that Huang Zheng might have been possessed by evil spirits.
To be continued...
