Who Told Him To Cultivate Immortality!

  Chapter 23 The Past of Patriarch Shang

   "How did you find out that he is a Painted Skin Ghost?" Tao Yaoye asked a question that Steward Zhang didn't know the answer to until his death.

  Lu Yang cleaned up the remaining traces of the battle, and used a broom to sweep up the ashes of Painted Skin Ghost into a small handful. Tao Yaoye also consciously took out the dustpan to continue.

   "It's very simple, continue to think about what the parrot said. 'Who are you, and where is Steward Zhang?'."

   "After we met Shang Yuan, she deliberately drove us away from the Shang family."

   "This shows that Zhang Steward is no longer the person Miss Shang knows, and is extremely dangerous."

   "There are three possibilities to replace Zhang Steward's identity."

"One is that Steward Zhang has been seized. But why did the old monster of the seizure stay in the Shang family for so long? If it were me, the first thing after the seizure was to leave Taiping Township and find a treasured place to continue practicing. And Zhang Butler's talent is not very good, seizing the owner of the Shang family is better than seizing him." Lu Yang compared his heart to his heart and thought in another way.

"Secondly, someone pretends to be a housekeeper. But that's not right. The Shang family doesn't have any valuables. Why pretend to be a housekeeper? Does he have a habit of serving people? Even if the Shang family has valuables, it's fine to just grab them? He cultivated in the late stage of foundation establishment, and no one cares about his crawling and walking in Taiping Township."

   "The third possibility is Painted Skin Ghosts. Painted Skin Ghosts like to collect human skins, disguise themselves as humans, follow the habit of camouflage, and mix with humans."

   Painted Skin Ghost is a human being in life, and a ghost after death, which is a kind of ghost cultivator. Most ghost cultivators of all kinds have some kind of psychological barrier.

For example, painted skin ghosts are the most taboo of being exposed by others. They will try their best to make themselves believe that they are human, and they will say the same things and do the same things as people. When they get tired of it, they will change their skin and start a new identity. repeatedly.

   What Lu Yang said was reasonable and well-founded, Tao Yaoye looked sideways, admiringly, and couldn't see the shadow of Senior Brother Lu who was trembling on the flying boat at all.

  She has mastered all the knowledge that Lu Yang has, but she doesn't think as much as Lu Yang for a while. This is a gap in thinking sensitivity.

   "Put away the ashes, this is the proof that we have completed the task." Lu Yang took out a white porcelain jar two palms high, and filled the ashes of Painted Skin Ghost.

  The Painted Skin Ghost is an extension of the quest, and it is considered a part of the quest. Killing the Painted Skin Ghost is definitely more rewarding than finding the parrot.

  There was a sound of running outside the house, and the sound of running stopped at the door. It seemed that several people woke up from their sleep. They came to the east wing to check the situation, but they dared not enter the house.

  The identity of the person outside the door is not difficult to guess, Lu Yang laughed loudly: "Patriarch Shang, come in, I have killed the Painted Skin Ghost, it is safe here."

   With a bang, the wooden door was pushed open by Patriarch Shang. Behind him stood his wife, young lady, servant girl, a total of twelve people, all showing the look of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

   "Thank you to the two elders for taking the initiative to kill the painted skin ghost and save the lives of twelve members of my Shang family!" The head of the Shang family knelt down with a plop, and the people behind him also knelt down.

   Painted Skin Ghost is moody, and when he gets tired of being a housekeeper, he will most likely kill their Shang family!

   "Where is Patriarch Shang, slaying demons and demons, defending the righteous way is what I asked the disciples to do." Lu Yang was startled when he had never seen such a large formation, and quickly helped them up one by one.

   "I also ask the two elders to forgive me. The Painted Skin Ghost appears and disappears, and his whereabouts are erratic. I don't know where he came from."

   "Since the Painted Skin Ghost pretended to be Steward Zhang, we are not allowed to leave the Shang family, and if anyone visits, we are not allowed to tell about him. If he finds out, it will be a dead end!"

   Speaking of this, Shang Yuan on the side also looked ashamed. She is a gentle lady, and all the cruel behaviors in the boudoir are just pretending to keep Lu Yang and the others away from danger.

I just heard the head of the Shang family continue to say: "It's a pity that I have retired to the countryside. All my monk's belongings have been exchanged for gold, silver and jewelry. It is useless to the two of you and I cannot repay you. I don't know what the two of you want. Even if Shang sells his property It must be completed." Patriarch Shang is not being polite, but really wants to repay his life-saving grace.

  In the eyes of Wendao Sect disciples, his entire body of money is like scrap copper and rotten iron, worthless.

   Lu Yang really needs it.

   "I heard that you encountered a life-and-death crisis during the tomb robbery, so you decided to wash your hands and quit the world of cultivating immortals. I don't know what happened at that time?"

Tao Yaoye looked at Patriarch Shang with great interest. Tomb robbery, life and death crisis, great terror, golden basin to wash hands, these words sound like stories, and there may be great opportunities. Her favorite thing is to explore mysterious places unknown.

  Lu Yang is not as interested in exploring the unknown as Tao Yaoye, but he likes to hear anecdotes.

  The corners of Patriarch Shang’s eyes twitched. To be honest, he didn’t want to recall that horrible past from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn’t help answering his savior’s questions.

  He dispersed everyone, especially Shang Yuan who was trying to stay secretly, leaving Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye alone.

   "You can't say this to other people today."

  Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye nodded.

   After Patriarch Shang received an affirmative answer, he talked about the past twenty years ago.

   "Thirty years ago, I, Shang Zhongtian, was well-known in the tomb robbery circle during the Qi training period. Not to mention notorious, it was also to the point that people hated it." Patriarch Shang put his hands on his hips, recalling the golden and glorious years.

  Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye didn't quite understand why Shang Gengtian, the Patriarch of the Shang family, was so proud of this.

  They don't know that colleagues are enemies, and tomb robbers are also competitors. Shang Zhongtian's good reputation naturally shows that he is highly skilled.

   "I have always been cautious about tomb robbery. I never touch those large and ancient tombs. There are ghosts in large tombs, and immortals in ancient tombs. We all know this saying."

  The ghosts mentioned here are not the little ghosts of the foundation period like the painted skin ghosts, but the powerful existence that dominates the ghosts.

  "The Qi training monks are poor, and all the valuable things are given to the younger generation. How can there be funerary objects to explain the burial. I don't touch the tomb of the Qi training monks, there is no oil and water."

   "The monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Golden Core Stage have small family properties. After they die, they will habitually distribute most of the family property to their descendants, leaving a small part to be buried with them. This small part is enough for me to earn a lot of money."

"Unfortunately, I often walk by the river, and there is no one who does not get wet shoes. At that time, I was digging a tomb of the Jindan period. At the end of the excavation, I found that it was a tomb within a tomb. Nascent Soul Stage!"

"According to the rules of our industry, we can't dig graves that are too high for our own cultivation. But at that time, I was dazzled by joy. At that time, I felt that I was the peak of Qi training. If I really ran, the speed was comparable to that of the foundation-building stage and grave robbers." If you don’t fight, rounding it up to me, it’s the foundation-building stage, so digging a Nascent Soul-stage grave that fell from the sky isn’t dangerous.”

   "So I offered incense to the patriarch, and after asking for the blessing of the patriarch, I started digging the tomb of the Yuanying period."
