I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 183 Stiff

The words of the old Taoist quickly outlined in Gu Yao's mind an image of an imposing and talented Taoist priest.

Since he was a child, he has been the treasure of Tianshifu, and he is full of expectations.

Four senior brothers.
Four people
By the way, there are four old Taoist brothers and four young celestial masters. One became a celestial master, one died, and one was in front of him. Then there is one more?

It seems that the old man never mentioned him.

"Old man, among the four of you senior brothers, there is one that you seem to have never mentioned." He asked tentatively.

The old man kept walking, and passed a person, his voice was vague and indefinite, and it came to Gu Yao's ears from all directions: "We four brothers were accepted by the master, passed the examination, and became the young celestial masters."

"My senior brother is the current celestial master. I am the second one to be a disciple. The junior brother I told you is the youngest fourth junior brother."

"The third junior brother, who has not been mentioned all this time, has an even more peculiar ambition. He probably went down the mountain at the same time as the fourth junior brother, and then disappeared, and I don't know what he did. I didn't see him until the fourth junior brother died. After so many years, I occasionally wanted to enter Longhu Mountain, although I was stopped by my senior brother, but I also learned from him that the third junior brother would go back to the mountain every few decades to pay homage to the master."

Gu Yao said: "So you don't know what your third junior brother is doing?"

Looking at the back of the old man, he had a bold idea: "Then could the current leader of the saint robbers be your third junior brother?"

"Think about it, the Saint Pirates back then were established by your fourth junior brother, and they are closely related to you in the future. Now that the century-old agreement has come, will your third junior brother know?"

The old Taoist coughed and interrupted his words: "Don't talk nonsense, no matter what, what we did at the beginning was not in line with the philosophy of Tianshifu, and it was not in line with what Master taught. Fourth Junior Brother and I are considered rebels. Since then , and never returned to the Heavenly Master’s Mansion.”

"Third Junior Brother was Master's favorite disciple back then. Among the four of us, he is also the most similar to Master. If it weren't for the Zhang family, he is more likely to become a celestial master than Fourth Junior Brother. No matter what, he would not do it. Don't do what we are waiting for, let alone do what this group of ants are doing."

As Gu Yao nodded, he had a flash of inspiration: "Old man, the four of you brothers and sisters, wouldn't one of you be more suitable as a master than the other, so that's why you were accepted as apprentices?"

"Your third junior brother was originally the most suitable, and then a more suitable fourth junior brother appeared, so are you also more suitable than your senior brother?"

The old Taoist remained silent, as if he had acquiesced.

Gu Yao crossed his arms in front of his chest: "That's why the young master of heaven should be like this. A genius appeared, and the master of heaven accepted him as a disciple as a candidate. Afterwards, a more suitable one appeared, so he continued to accept it."

"So today's Zhang Qingchen is the most outstanding person in Longhushan. I defeated him, rounded up, old man, you won the master of heaven, you are the best in the world."

"As expected of me, this can make you win."

The old man smiled softly: "You talk a lot, but what you said is true. Zhang Qingchen lost to you. Even if the news is temporarily suppressed, other incidents will inevitably occur after returning to Longhu Mountain."

"What happened?"

"Young celestial master is invincible, and celestial master is even more invincible. You won him, and with my relationship, the people in the celestial master's residence will definitely try their best to get you back to compete for the position of celestial master."

"But I don't want to go. Besides, you can't go to Longhu Mountain, so what's your relationship?"

"There are many people in Longhu Mountain, and there are disputes between the Zhang family, the branch family, and the non-Zhang family. I am not allowed to go back, and it may not be everyone who wants to cancel my name."

Gu Yao tilted his head: "Taoist priests will also compete for these? Don't they just listen to whoever has the biggest fist?"

The old man couldn't help laughing: "Fists are very important, but many things cannot be determined by fists, especially if the fists are used too much, the effect will become worse and worse."

Gu Yao nodded: "I understand, only the fists hanging above the head have the deterrent effect, like you always play my brains, I don't care, hang from the tree too much, I even feel like going home."

The old way: "."

While the two were talking, they were about to walk back to the inn.

"By the way, old man, you came to Luoyang just to kill that all-knowing?"

"No, I wanted to ask it something, but it seemed to have a lot of plans, so I changed my mind and sent it to die."

The old Taoist stood in front of the inn and stopped in his tracks: "Although I have a vague feeling that it is not completely dead, maybe there are backhands, but when you burn incense for me in the future, you will also burn a share for it."

Gu Yao nodded, pushed open the door of the inn, and the two walked into it.

The inn was pitch black, and the Gu mother was lying on the table and whistling.

Gu Yao didn't wake it up, closed the door, went upstairs with Lao Dao and went back to the room.

Seeing the old man laying down on the bed, ready to sleep, Gu Yao was a little strange: "Old man, why are you always obsessed with sleeping now?"

"It's not indulging, but I need to use sleep to adjust my state. Although I am sure of the battle with Yama, I must always be prepared."

"Oh, what are you going to do tomorrow?"

"Let's have fun, and take care of the person who wants to kill you by the way."

"Take care? Are you going to call the door?"

The old man's voice had already started to rise and fall, and he was drowsy: "It's not me, it's you."

"Before the Fuxi Pagoda was opened, there would always be some shady things about such things. There are many ways to deal with them, but the simplest one is to get rid of the people who paid for it."

The old man yawned: "Okay, okay, I'm going to sleep, so go ahead and do whatever you want."

Before Gu Yao could say the next sentence, the old man's snoring had already started one after another.

After being speechless for a while, he got up and went to the window, and pushed it open.

Well, I know everything, Lesheng, Baotian, and Hongyu have a magic spell that is also useful for old Taoists.

Although the old man doesn't care, he does.

Maybe it really works.

Who can say for sure, there are so many spells in the world, it is impossible for a veteran to know all of them.

"Today I fought with Le Sheng. His spells are barely considered top-notch among wild grasses. He might have made a blank paper talisman. No matter how you think about it, it's strange. Maybe it's also related to that spell."

"If the three of them are caught by me one by one, I can easily defeat them. Even if the three join forces, even if I can't beat them, I can still escape."

"The only worry is whether there will be something similar to the Qimen Grand Formation."

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yao jumped out of the window and ran towards the east of the city.

He probably knew where the three Taoist priests lived.

"First go to Qingyu Mountain where Lesheng is. In order to prevent the formation of Qimen Fengshui on the mountain, I can directly cut off the water veins of the mountain."

Leaping across the roof quickly, Gu Yao thought about the steps to do it himself.

"Most of the Qimen Fengshui formations are connected to the mountains and rivers. After cutting off the water veins of the mountains, they will be separated from the heaven and the earth with the way of talismans."

"In this way, being in an isolated place, the threat is even smaller."

"After finishing the first two steps, I will observe carefully one or two more times. If I find something is wrong, I can directly wash the ground with thunder. Earth thunder is the most suitable for this."

"In the future, I will subdue him directly with the method of thunder. If he refuses to hand it over, I will use the Qingming soul technique to inspect."

He thought a lot, planned more in his heart, full of confidence, and made up his mind to clean up Le Sheng until he lost his way outside the city.

Gu Yao stood at the intersection, dumbfounded.

"My God, are there so many mountains and so many roads outside Luoyang City?"

After coming out of the Luoyang city gate, it didn't take long to walk, the road was divided into three and dispersed in three directions.

In every direction, at a glance, there are continuous dark mountain shadows.

"Could it be those three wild grasses, each living in one direction?"

At this point in time, although the city is very lively, the outside of the city is already very deserted, and there are no people at all.

If you really meet someone, nine times out of ten it will be trouble.

Gu Yao stood at the intersection and hesitated for a moment, then ran towards the middle.

"Lesheng's Taoist temple, in Qingyu Mountain, at the foot of Qingyu Mountain, there is a big snake stele."

"The Taoism of Ye Mao is usually very obvious. If I go on this road, I should be able to find it easily."

He ran along the road for half an hour, but found nothing. When he was thinking about whether he had gone in the wrong direction, he saw two lights in the gap between the sparse trees above the slope.

At that moment, he held his breath and leaned over quietly.

Not far away, there is already a lot of white paper money under my feet.

Gu Yao squatted down, picked up a handful, looked at it, and smelled it: "It's brand new, and it still smells like candle flames. Who's going to give it to someone to bury at this point?"

At the moment, he swam over cautiously.

When he came to about five feet away, he could already see the people there and heard the sound of conversation, so Gu Yao stopped and carefully hid his figure.

Those two candles were two white paper lanterns, placed on two stones at the moment, quiet and eerie.

Under the two stones, eight big men were sitting slumped. Gu Yao tried to twitch his nose, and could smell an extremely faint smell of sweat and earth from a distance.

"Before, when I was going to the Golden Buddha Temple in Guangling Mansion, I seemed to bump into people moving graves on the road, and they seemed to have the same configuration."

Gu Yao looked at the eight naked-chested brawny men and recalled it.

"What about the coffin?"

Gu Yao thought about it, and looked carefully again, but he didn't see the coffin, nor did he see anyone else.

"Could it be that they were transported up the mountain? These eight people are resting on the way down the mountain?"

When Gu Yao was hesitating whether to go to see the excitement, a series of loud and clear footsteps sounded.

It's a boy about his age, but he's just dressed up and has sharp eyes.

Wearing a bun with a red ribbon, a red bellyband on the upper body, and black crotch pants underneath, barefoot, came down from the mountain.

The young man climbed onto the rock and picked up the two white paper lanterns, illuminating the makeup on his face.

Weird and scary.

Some of the paper figurines burned to the dead were somewhat similar, with their entire faces covered in white ink, only red circles painted on their cheeks and between their eyebrows.

The eight big men also slowly got up: "Little Ninth Master, where is Mr. Wu?"

"Grandpa is talking to Daoist Baotian up there, let me come down first and give you money."

The boy's voice was no different from that of a child, which surprised Gu Yao again.

In this era, the height is generally short. This young man is similar in height to Gu Yao, so he must be a young man in the [-]th or [-]th year, but hearing this voice, he looks like he is only eight or nine years old.

The young man put his hand into his crotch trousers and took out a large amount of money from his crotch: "Go on and wash it when you get home. My boyish taste will help you ward off evil spirits. If you wash it too early, don't rely on us if you lose your soul." .”

"Save it, save it."

The eight men smiled happily and ended up stuffing the money into their trousers in the same way.

Gu Yao looked at it: "It turns out that this is the site of that Taoist priest Baotian. Are these people stealing the corpse for that Taoist priest?"

As he guessed, two more people appeared.

One was an old man wearing a straw hat, slightly stooped, and wobbled as he walked.

The other person, wearing a Taoist robe and holding a dust whisk, looked like a fairy.

"I have seen Immortal Baotian."

Baotian said in a flat voice: "You don't need to salute, it's been hard work for you this time, it's something tonight, everyone have a good rest, if there are similar things in the future, I still need your help."

The old man also said: "Okay, okay, you eight go back to the village now."

Send eight big men away, leaving only the old man and the young man.Gu Yao also retracted his gaze, hid behind the tree, and only listened with his ears.

After reaching a certain level of cultivation, he is very sensitive to the eyes of others.

"Immortal Baotian, my grandson, what do you think?" The old man's voice sounded first.

"It's not bad. With a body of pure yang, you can live as a mortal for so long. The methods passed down by your family are really amazing."

"The immortal was joking. We have no means. It's just that since he was about two years old, every time I move the grave, I let him sit on the head of the coffin and suppress it with the breath of the corpse. But this method is not the right way after all."

Baotian said indifferently: "That is to say, you used this method too early and damaged his bones. Originally, the human body of pure yang is like red yang. It is unique in cultivation, but it is mixed up by you."

"Yeah, what the immortal said is that I took him to a Taoist temple, and everyone said it was a pity that he couldn't practice their method because the breath of his corpse was in his bones."

"They can't do it, but they can do it poorly."

"That's that, the Taoist priest has extraordinary supernatural powers, and his knowledge penetrates the world, which is beyond their comparison."

Baotian said: "But Pindao doesn't accept disciples at will. Although Pindao is just a weed, the threshold of entry may not be lower than those of formal Taoist temples."

wild grass?

Gu Yao wondered in his heart, this Baotian used the word wild grass, could it be that this grandson is also a member of the Taoist sect?

The young man's crisp voice sounded: "The Daoist is above, the little one knows it, this is the little one's birth date, please read it first."

The old man also went on to say: "Master Daoist, just say, as long as you can entrust the grandson of the villain to practice, the villain will definitely do his best."

After a moment of silence, Baotian said: "Just looking at the date of birth, it's not bad. Okay, you guys will bring me three more corpses like tonight's in the next month, and I'll take him as a disciple."

After another moment of silence, the old man agreed and took the boy down the mountain to leave.

Gu Yao felt that Baotian also disappeared up the mountain, so he leaned out from behind the tree and followed from afar.

Before reaching the top of the mountain, he smelled a foul smell of corpses, and there was a gurgling sound like a pig eating.

Listening to the voice, Gu Yao looked carefully at the houses on the top of the mountain, silently running the Golden Light Curse, and at the same time quietly condensed and drew countless talismans, which melted into the soil.

After finishing, he lowered his body, walked from all around to the nearest room, and walked around slowly.

"I have never been a thief in the past, and I broke into someone's house at night, what should I do? I have no experience, and I will suffer."

After going around in a big circle, I finally came to the back of the main house, leaned against the wall, shrunk and hid in the shadows, and slowly moved forward.

Among the paper money in the courtyard, Baotian stood in front of the room, staring at a pitch-black coffin in front of him.

The smell of corpses and the sound of gurgling came from inside the coffin.

At the same time, Gu Yao noticed that the air in the courtyard was somewhat distorted, and the moonlight projected down was guided to gather and float towards the coffin.

Seeing the shaking of the coffin, Gu Yao had a guess in his heart: "Could it be that this Baotian kept a monster that ate corpses? That's why he asked the grandparents to move the corpses for him?"

He didn't dare to look at Baotian too much, and tried to look at the coffin.

But the coffin was so huge and deep that he couldn't see the inside clearly because he was far away.

At the moment, he can only roll up his sleeves and prepare to knock Baotian unconscious first.

Just as the sleeves were rolled up, Baotian moved.

He waved the whisk in his hand, raised one hand, squeezed a guide in front of him, and muttered the mantra in a low voice, his lips kept moving.

Immediately, there was a booming sound from the rooms on both sides.

The house was not closed, only the black cloth hung down to block the house. At this moment, under Baotian's spell, the things in the house came out.

Several ugly zombies with livid faces and fangs protruding from their mouths jumped out of the house.

Gu Yao unconsciously held his breath.

This is his first time dealing with zombies.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time he had seen such a decent refined corpse.

This Baotian looked at the bones of immortality, but he was actually a wild grass who practiced the way of corpses.

One after another, the corpses jumped out, stood around the coffin, and opened their mouths.

Immediately, the moonlight gathered directly above the coffin, condensing into a small light cluster.

Rays of soft light flowed into the mouth of the refining corpse, and the strongest beam flowed into the coffin.

The gurgling voice became more urgent.

"Refining corpses, devouring moonlight."

Looking at the situation in front of him, Gu Yao quickly recalled the classification of zombies.

It seems to be purple stiffness, white stiffness or black stiffness, and then green stiffness, hairy stiffness, non-melting bones, lying corpses, and wandering corpses.

After that, there is the Ba, which is also the case for the rumored Han Ba, Dry Ba, and so on.

"They're probably just green zombies."

Gu Yao guessed that there were too few zombies, and he was not sure, but only vaguely remembered.

Purple Zombie said it was stiff, but in fact it was still a corpse, unable to move, but highly poisonous.

White stiffness and black stiffness, slow movements, fear of light, age, fire, chickens, dogs, and even people. ,

Green stiff, jumping fast, agile, seems to be just afraid of light?

Gu Yao thought about it, and started to make a move again.

He raised a hand: "Fu Qi!"

The countless talismans that had been melted into the soil before were instantly moved, and suddenly, the mountains shook and the ground sank, and the soil flowed across.

The half body of the green zombie sucking the moonlight instantly melted into the soil, unable to move.

Although Baotian was also caught off guard, he reacted very quickly. When the top of his foot sank into the ground, he somehow pulled his foot out of the boot and jumped into the air.

Seeing this, Gu Yao jumped up and punched him when he was unable to dodge in the air.

When Baotian noticed Gu Yao, his face was startled, and he swung the whisk in his hand, countless silver threads spread and entangled him.

Gu Yao has already prepared for this style.

These days, it would be too embarrassing for a Taoist priest with a whisk to not know this trick.

At that moment, he swung his left palm, and a fiery snake fluttered, burning the whisk, and golden light spread out from the other hand, piercing his arm.

Baotian couldn't dodge in the air, so he waved his sleeves and threw two balls of black mud from his sleeves, turning into a liger in the air, one left and one right, blocking Gu Yao's attack, and at the same time he jumped to a Only on the green stiff head.

Gu Yao smashed the lion and tiger, looked at Baotian: "It's you, the person who eavesdropped on the conversation at the inn was you?"

Baotian looked at the Fuchen in his hand, threw it on the ground casually, watched as the Fuchen was swallowed up by the mud flow, and said, "You actually dare to look for it, you are so courageous, it was Le Sheng's trash who gave you courage?"

In his words, there was a lot of disdain for Le Sheng.

With a shake of his arms, several wild beasts emerged from the soil, cows, horses, pigs, dogs, chickens and monkeys, covering the open space in the courtyard.

"So you are a summoner, not a pure corpse refiner."

Seeing this method, Gu Yao raised his hand and said in surprise.

Baotian put his hands behind his back: "Pundao is just a little unlucky and weak in his skills, so he has been living here in seclusion for a long time. I really didn't expect it."

While he was speaking, these mud beasts rolled over.

Gu Yao stood at the same place and started to punch the health-preserving punch. Slowly, seemingly full of flaws, he crushed all the mud beasts without missing a beat: "I didn't expect anything?"

Baotian sneered: "I didn't expect things to turn around recently. First, a fellow Taoist went mad and gave me a copy of Taoism, and then I got this corpse refining technique by accident. Now you, a little Taoist, came to me again. Your spell, It's also extraordinary."

Those mud beasts recovered again while he was speaking, and got out from under Gu Yao's feet.

As soon as Gu Yao stepped on the ground, he dodged the attack and flew up to Baotian.

Just as he got closer, the grunting stopped.

The gathered moonlight also suddenly dispersed.

Gu Yao felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and immediately pulled out his hand, the golden light curse flashed out, retreated in the air, and swept over the mud beast behind him.

Baotian stood on the top of the green arrow and sneered: "You have a keen sense, but if you dare to come to my Taoist temple, you will die."

He clapped his hands: "Little Taoist priest, come and meet Daoist Yongwang."

A burly body emerged from the coffin, covered with red hair, and under the moonlight, the red hair shone with blood.

This is actually a hairy stiff.

"Roar!"

Mao Zong stood up, jumped out of the coffin like a human being, and instantly appeared in front of Gu Yao, punching him down.

The moment it got close, the extremely stench of corpses filled the tip of its nose, and the terrifying fist wind made Gu Yaosheng unable to test his mind to test the Golden Light Curse. His body flashed, and he jumped onto the roof three times and twice.

Mao Zong hit the ground with a fist, which actually punched out countless gaps in the mud that was flowing like water at the moment.

Its body was swallowed by the mud, but the next moment, it easily broke through the ground and jumped out, pounced on.

Gu Yao pointed at a fire thunder and released it, but it was so fast that he dodged it, and Gu Yao had no choice but to detonate the fire thunder.

In the midst of thunder and fire, Mao Zang froze and jumped out again.

"Mao Zong's speed is too fast, and I can't keep up. Long-distance attacks will be dodged. I don't know if the Golden Light Curse can be blocked at close range. It is definitely not the best strategy to exchange injuries in the opposite territory."

This thought flashed across Gu Yao's mind, watching that Mao Zong pounced again, while backing away, he spread his hands and released dense fire lotus, covering everywhere.

This hair is extremely fast, but its size is also huge. It is twice as burly as an ordinary person, and it is covered with red hair of unknown age. Under the densely packed fire lotus, as long as it moves again, it will inevitably hit the fire lotus. More or less Can buy Gu Yao some time.

Unexpectedly, the hair stiff stopped.

Seeing that Mao Zong temporarily stopped moving, Gu Yao pointed at it and looked at Baotian: "Did you just say that it is Daoist Yongwang?"

I remembered that the wild grasses said before that Luoyang was originally a Taoist priest, but one of them disappeared for a long time.

He looked at Baotian and asked: "He is the fourth Daoist in Luoyang, he was killed by you and made into a stiff hair?"
