Pioneering

Chapter 93 Painted Skin
It was the day Zhu Lingyu entrusted Zhong Ming to slay the demon.

In the market in the east of the city, in a gold and pearl shop, Wang Xuzhi chose a carved gold hairpin, paid the money happily, and walked out of the gate, but subconsciously stuffed the gift box into his sleeve.

"When I buy jewelry, if someone else sees it and it gets to Lingyu's ears, it will be a bad thing. It's still Meng Lang today.

Also, placing Si Niang in the study is not a long-term solution, if Lingyu comes to look for me in the study, I'm afraid there will be a lot of troubles.

After some time, I still have to find a way to find another hospital for Siniang. "Wang Xuzhi walked down the street with a happy face, thinking to himself.

In order not to attract attention, Wang Xuzhi came to the market on foot, which shows that he really likes the lovely Lou Siniang.

Just as he was thinking about how many poses he could unlock after giving the golden hairpin to Lou Siniang, a thin hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

Wang Xuzhi turned his head to look in surprise, only to see that the person who caught him was a blue Taoist priest with white beard and hair and piercing eyes.

"What is the meaning of Taoist priest, why did you stop me?"

"Haha, there is a reason for the poor Taoist to call the layman," the green-robed Taoist put down his hand, touched his white beard, and asked, "I don't know if the layman has encountered any strange things recently?"

"Where did the Taoist priest come to me to cheat for food and drink?" Wang Xuzhi thought disdainfully.

But he still didn't forget his personality as a gentleman, and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your concern, Daoist, Wang does not think anything strange happened.

If I had to say something thrilling and bizarre, it was probably half a month ago that I accompanied my wife to Qingping Theater to watch a new play about gods, gods and ghosts, which was really interesting.

A few days ago, I wanted to watch another show, but I was obsessed with the art of calligraphy and painting, and I missed the time. The next day, I heard that the theater building caught fire, and many people were burned to death, even my wife and brother were buried in it.

When I came here today, I planned to buy some things and go to Taishan's home for the funeral. "

When the Taoist priest in Qingpao heard the words "Qingping Theater", his complexion changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"Qingping Theater, hehe, that shouldn't be the case.

You are full of Yin Qi and your complexion is blue, how can you say that nothing happened?
You think about it again. "

After all, Wang Xuzhi was still a little impatient, raised his hands and clasped his fists and said:

"Thank you Daoist for your concern, Mr. Wang is very grateful, but it is true that nothing strange happened to me.

If the Taoist priest doesn't mind, the money will be regarded as Wang's invitation to the Taoist priest to eat, and I have something to do, so I will leave first. "

After finishing speaking, Wang Xuzhi took out a few silver dollars from the purse at his waist, and fortified them to the Taoist priest.

"Wang Layman's heart, the poor Taoist heart has received it, but he will not be rewarded for nothing. The poor Taoist really can't accept the money." The Taoist refused his money, turned around and shook his head and said,
"Alcohol is a gut-piercing medicine, sex is a bone-scraping knife, qi is a downhill tiger, and money is the root of trouble.

Alas, there are people in this world who do not wake up when they are about to die.

Crazy men complain about women, beautiful skins, ignorance, ignorance! "

"This Taoist priest doesn't want money. Could it be that there is something wrong with me?" Wang Xuzhi was surprised when he heard the Taoist priest's words, and couldn't help but wonder.

"I also met Si Niang recently, if there is something..."

But he changed his mind: Si Niang is clearly a homeless beauty, so how could she be evil?

It must be that the stinky Taoist priest wants to cheat money under the guise of suppressing evil and eliminating disasters, and he wants to play hard to get. He has already played this trick many times.

So Wang Xuzhi stopped thinking about it, turned around and walked towards the study.

"This? Why is Si Niang tightening the door? Didn't I say I'll be back in a while?"

When Wang Xuzhi came to the door of the study, it was already the first light of the moon, and he found that the door was closed from the inside, and he couldn't get in, so he was suspicious.

At this time, the Taoist's words seemed to appear in his ears again, and he was a scheming and suspicious person, so he had slight doubts about Lou Siniang again.

"It's not peaceful outside the city. I can still bump into such a beauty on the trail. I haven't heard of any family in Sishui City who lost their wives and concubines recently. Could it be..."

When I thought of this, I was full of doubts, so I jumped into the courtyard from the gap in the southwest corner of the wall, and walked quietly to the door of the room.

The door of the room that I liked more than Lou Siniang's day and night was also tightly closed, and the surrounding windows were also tightly closed.

He quietly approached the window, carefully lying on the window, and looked into the house through the tiny gap.

I saw a ferocious evil ghost whose body was scorched like black charcoal, his facial features were chapped and his teeth were pierced with jagged fangs. Painting on the delicate human skin on Ye Shengge's soft bed.

After finishing the painting, the ghostly baby put away the brush, held up the beautiful human skin, admired his masterpiece for a while, then shook the human skin clothes like a clothes, and put them on his body.

In an instant, this ferocious ghost turned into a charming and beautiful woman.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xuzhi was terrified. She covered her mouth with all her strength, summoned up the greatest courage in her life, and crawled out like a dog like a dog. She ran back to the city overnight and found an inn to stay in. Back to study.

On the second day of his stay, he hurried back to the market, trying to find the Taoist priest again, but the Taoist priest had disappeared.

"Daoist, Mr. Wang knows that he is wrong, please save Mr. Wang, please save Mr. Wang!"

Wang Xuzhi searched everywhere and yelled like a lunatic in the market, completely forgetting her character as a gentleman.

But this Taoist priest seemed to have evaporated from the world, no matter how hard Wang Xuzhi looked for it, he couldn't find it.

Where is this priest?
In Yunhe Restaurant, in a fine dining room, Zhong Ming was dressed in a brown practice suit, sitting on a chair, and graciously toasting to the person opposite.

The person on the opposite side was the green-robed Taoist priest Wang Xuzhi was looking for so hard.

"Mei Daochang, please try it. This is the famous Tianmendong wine. It costs 130 gold yuan a jar. It's a good thing that even money can't buy."

"Mei Daochang, try it. This is Yunhe Inn's signature dish - crystal pig's trotters. It is smooth but not greasy, with a lingering meaty taste."

This Taoist is not taboo, he drinks wine when he is offered, eats meat when he is offered, he is very unrestrained and at ease.

Daoist Mei picked up a square scarf, wiped his mouth gracefully, and said unhurriedly:
"I don't know what enmity between Layman Zhong and Layman Wang is, why do you want to stop Pindao from saving people?"

Zhong Ming saw that his mind had been broken, touched his short hair stubble, and said embarrassingly:
"Hey, how can there be any hatred. It's just that when you see injustice, you draw your sword to help and uphold justice. Everyone is responsible..."

Seeing Daochang Mei's expression of "believe it or not", Zhong Ming said sharply:

"Well, it's actually like this, Taoist priest, please listen to me carefully..."

　The plot of Painted Skin will be changed by magic, readers who have read the dark fairy tales before may have guessed it, hehe...
