The old demon of Montenegro wants to practice Taoism

The old Taoist came half an hour earlier than Shan Yangze, and he was listening to the command of Jin Yiwei, Master Wantongwan, explaining the summary of the case.

However, the conversation between the two did not go well.

Let’s talk about Wantong first, who is Wantong, apart from the commander of Jin Yiwei, he is most talked about because he has a sister, who is worthy of the name, the emperor’s favorite concubine, Concubine Wan Gui. There is also Wan An who rushes to be a relative, insisting that he is the nephew of the imperial concubine.

How much does the emperor like Concubine Wan Gui?Concubine Wangui dominates the harem, whips the concubine, murders the prince, and even kills a queen. Sometimes Wantong is a little terrified of thinking carefully. Every time he comes back from an audience, he feels that the emperor's brain has been kicked by a donkey, and he was kicked more than once. , kicked quite hard.

Well, it’s not good to say that about my sister, but many people are waiting for Concubine Wan Gui, who is 45 years old this year, to fall out of favor, and Wantong is also a little scared, so what he wants is to try to climb as high as possible before his sister falls out of favor, Let the emperor pay more attention to him, so for the promising position of Commander of the Jinyiwei, Wantong is determined to do it well.

But no matter what, his sister is a favorite concubine, and he is the emperor's confidant. There is not much humility left in Wantong's heart, which can only allow him to maintain his superficial politeness.

Let’s talk about Zhang Tianshi. Zhang Tianshi is the head of the Zhengyi school of Taoism. He is the great-great-grandson of Zhang Daoling, the founder of the Zhengyi school. As for Zhang Daoling, he is also a descendant of a celebrity.

Tianshi is naturally not a person's name, no father would give his son such a name, this Tianshi is bestowed by the emperor, it is an honorary title.

Naturally, this celestial master is not an ordinary person. He has a lot of contact with ghosts and monsters on weekdays, and his Taoism is profound. He is also one of the best people in his profession. You can't explain it."

Moreover, Zhang Tianshi's character can be seen from the first generation of Zhang Daoling, who is upright and can name his sect Zhengyi. In addition to self-confidence, the arrogance in his character is also indispensable. When each generation of Zhang family is enlightened, they will be recognized Education, orthodox one is the emptiness of Tai Chi, implying orthodox orthodoxy.After dozens of generations of education, it is inevitable that Lao Tzu's character of being number one in the world is engraved in his bones.

So one is a powerful veteran Wantong who has been in the officialdom, and the other is a technical person who is used to being straightforward. You can’t understand my hints when you speak, and you take my straightforwardness as an offense. Both of you feel small. The little one was holding fire.

Then when Wantong took out the "compass" made by Shan Yangze, Zhang Tianshi completely exploded, and a piece of talisman paper was pasted on it. "This is a crooked way! It's intolerable!"

Then Shanyangze came in.

The four eyes met, not only did Shanyangze recognize the old Taoist priest, but the old Taoist also recognized Shanyangze. This is why he didn't want to get anything, and was listed as unwelcome by the entire Heishan Town for a hundred miles. Customer culprits!

Shan Yangze squinted his eyes, hehe twice, "Lord Wan."

Wantong was a little dizzy from the sudden amplified voice of the old Taoist priest. When he saw Shan Yangze coming in, he just changed his mind and said, "Please sit down, please sit down. This is the head of the Xuanming sect. Heavenly Master Zhang of one faction."

The old Taoist also hecked twice, knowing that the black dog and black donkey couldn't do anything.Why?This is obviously a fellow, a black dog has only a pot of blood, a black donkey has four hooves, he will not separate them, but...

The old Taoist looked Shanyangze up and down several times, pointed to the compass on the table, and said, "You made this thing? Xuanming sect?" The old Taoist shook his head again, tactfully expressing that he had never heard of it. "Where did you learn from?" There was a bit of arrogance in the words.

"My master..." Shan Yangze thought for a while, and his mentor said that he was still more than 700 years away from his birth, so he said euphemistically, "He is gone." As for Montenegro, who gave him a lot of experience and mana The old demon is really gone...

The old Taoist sighed and said, "No wonder." Shan Yangze looked like he was only in his early twenties, and his master was gone, so in the eyes of the old Taoist, he became a lost youth with no one to teach him.The old Taoist's expression changed suddenly, and he said, "You made such a thing, could it be—"

Before he finished speaking, Wantong interrupted, "You two, we are here today to find congratulatory gifts for His Majesty!"

Wantong's display of power did indeed have a bit of power, the old Taoist didn't know what to think of, his momentum became much lower, he looked at Shanyangze again, and stopped talking.

Shan Yangze took a sip of the freshly served tea, and looked at the compass on the table, the compass had already been broken by spells, and it was no longer working.Although I didn't see who made the move, it was probably an old Taoist priest.

Wantong followed Shan Yangze's line of sight, with a sullen face, and explained: "The place has been found, but...it's not going well."

Although Wantong welcomes the discord between the two parties, it is much easier for him as the general manager to command the discord between the two parties, but if he continues to develop according to the temper of the old Taoist priest, he will It's about to turn from discord to thorn, so Wantong slightly weakened the role of the old Taoist in it.

These two, one Shan Yangze, helped them find the place where the birthday gift was. The old Taoist priest... said that the birthday gift was fine when it was just lost.Although Wantong has more trust in the Longhushan lineage who has been a celestial master since the Han Dynasty, he can't neglect Shanyangze, a Taoist priest who has obviously contributed more.

Besides... Wantong actually has a little selfishness in his heart. The old Taoist priest's title of celestial master was given by the emperor, so there is nothing to win over. The one who contacted him was Zhang Shan from Jinyiwei. Judging by his attitude towards people, he is easy-going. If he can win over, it will be a help for nothing.

Although Wantong thinks so, he plans to wait and see what Shan Yangze's ability is before making any plans.After all, his Wanjia is not waiting for others, and if you are thirsty for talents, you have to be a talented person.

Wantong took a sip of tea and said, "According to the compass sent by the Taoist priest, we have found the place. It is in a tributary of the Grand Canal, but none of the three groups of people came back." Wantong was also a little frightened, "I sent someone to the county government to find the local chronicles. This tributary was originally a canal. It started in the Sui Dynasty and was completed in the early Tang Dynasty. It was originally intended to be dug into Luoyang City, but I don't know why. , It will stop working if it is not repaired."

"The construction of the canal is to first dig the canal manually, with a depth of three feet and a width of three to four feet, and then use green bricks to lay a layer along the bottom and both sides of the river, and then dig the final mouth of the river. "Speaking, Wantong put the local chronicle on the table, and said: "The local chronicle records that the canal channel has been dug, but something happened when the blue bricks were halfway laid, and the river mouth was dug in a hurry. The canal is only one foot deep, so how can so many people go down after the boat sinks? I ordered someone to pick up a bamboo pole that was one and a half feet deep, and went down to the place where the compass swayed most violently, and it was more than one foot there.”

The old Taoist had already heard these words before, and Wantong said it again just to explain it to Shan Yangze who came late.

Shan Yangze nodded, and his favorable impression of Wantong, who had done a lot of homework in advance, increased a lot, and said: "If it is said to be a naturally formed waterway, there will inevitably be some dark pits and other things in it, but since it is a artificially built riverway ...have to go to the scene to see."

The old Taoist also agreed on this point. Wantong looked at the sun and arranged a carriage. Wantong accompanied the old Taoist and the Shan family to the scene of the incident.

The place where the accident happened was in the wilderness, half a day's journey away from the surrounding towns. Although Jinyiwei has a bad reputation, he is not afraid of hardship or tiredness when doing things. The station is only two or three miles away from the place where the accident happened As for why it was not chosen by the river where the accident happened, it was because this place was too evil.

When Wantong brought people here, he didn't think it was a problem at all. The things in the canal can just go down and be picked up. He didn't even plan to arrange the station. Who would have thought that two groups of people would die in one day? He didn't see it, and then he felt that something had happened.

"Alas..." Wantong sighed, "32 people, I didn't even see a splash when I went down, they were all gone." Those who could follow him out to work were all confidantes and experts. Wucun, no matter how cruel and ruthless Lord Wan is, there will be some ripples in his heart.

Two or three miles away, it took only one stick of incense to get there. Shan Yangze got off the carriage and suddenly felt a chill, only to hear the old Taoist groan, "This place is very cloudy."

When Shan Yangze entered the tent, he glanced at the corona on the ground for timekeeping. He said a few words when he arrived at Weishi, which was around [-]:[-] in the afternoon. In other words, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun It rises to the highest at noon, and the sunlight is the strongest, but the temperature rises a little later in the evening, so this time should be the time when the temperature is the highest in the whole day, and it feels cold just after getting out of the carriage. Many people must have died here, and it must be Dead for more than seven days.

There is a common name for the first seven days, which is called Huihun Night. It is said that on this day, ghost messengers will escort the soul of the deceased back to the mortal world, fulfill his unfulfilled wish, and complete the last part of the journey in the mortal world.During the period from death to the first seven days, the soul is not actually a ghost in the strict sense. Only after the first seven days, when the wish is fulfilled and the last breath of yang energy is exhausted, can it completely turn yin and become a ghost. .

So the yin energy here must not be caused by the few people who died under Wantong.

Several people got out of the carriage, Wantong was shocked by the air-conditioning, scared in his heart, and stood behind Shan Yangze and the old Taoist involuntarily, he looked at the book with a smile on his face, and said: "You are young It's light, I don't look nervous." There is no content in these words, but they are just trying to ease the atmosphere in the tension.

Wantong has passed forty this year, and Huai Shu looks like he is not even in his twenties. From Wantong's point of view, he is naturally young, but Wantong doesn't know whether Huai Shu is an old goblin or a person who just came into contact with human society. , an old goblin who doesn't know much about compliments.

Huai Shu smiled at him and said, "Thank you, Master Wan, for your compliment."

Wantong was taken aback for a moment, completely unable to understand what was going on.

Shan Yangze, who was two or three steps in front of them, heard it, couldn't help but twitched his mouth, turned his head and said: "Huaishu, come and have a look."

Huai Shu walked up to Shan Yangze in two or three steps, and whispered: "He just praised me."

Shan Yangze couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth again, how should he explain that compliments in this situation can actually be ignored, sometimes it's difficult to be too polite.

Huai Shu walked to the river in two steps, squatted down and stretched his hands into the river, stood up after a few strokes, shook the water on his hands, and said to Shan Yangze: "I have been dead for about seven or eight hundred years, and the Yin Qi Very heavy."

The expression on the old Taoist's face was a bit strange for a while, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed. He coughed twice, took out a talisman in his arms like an afterthought, squatted down by the river, dipped some river water, and then The Taoist lit the talisman, and saw only a faint blue smoke. The old Taoist said: "More than 200 people died."

Wantong was happy, so he said that it is necessary to invite people from both parties. Only when there is pressure can there be competition, and only when there is competition can things be done well.

The old Taoist told the number of dead people, and looked at Shanyangze and Huaishu with some confidence, only to see that Huaishu was muttering as if counting, the old Taoist smiled and said: "This talisman is my Positive faction..."

"260 Seven." Huai Shu said: "260 Seven died, all men."

The old Taoist's face turned red.

Shan Yangze wants to explain that your talisman is still very powerful, I will not do anything, or your Taoism is still very powerful, Huaishu can distinguish the number, but you can taste the shadow of each ghost The taste of gas is different, foodie or something, probably it will come in handy at this time... But look at the red face of the old Taoist, let's forget it.
