I am a monster in both worlds

Chapter 99
Scorching sun.

Li Mansion, in the wing room.

Yi Bai and the old woman sat at the table.

"You haven't asked the old lady for her name yet?"

Yi Bai did not look like a monster, and his etiquette was not lost.

"Name taboo? I forgot, I forgot, my husband's surname is Li, just call me Li Lan."

The old woman replied with a smile.

"The old lady is calm and relaxed. I think she experienced a lot when she was young."

"No more capable than sir."

"Old lady..."

Yi Bai talked with the old woman and waited for news. He kept looking around and wanted to know the news about the old monk Dao Chan.

The old woman was also a mature woman. How could she not know what Yi Bai was thinking and avoid her questioning without leaving a trace?

Yi Bai had no choice but to give up.

He waited in his room for news.

……

This wait lasted for more than an hour.

Yi Bai swallowed the fourth clay pill and was about to swallow the fifth one.

The boy finally brought the news back.

"Sir, a man named Shen Bin was indeed executed in Shanshan County more than a month ago. It is said that he was arrested for stealing money from the county magistrate's house. He was sent to the guillotine by the magistrate. He has been dead for more than a month."

This is the news brought by the young man.

"Are you sure Shen Bin is dead?"

Yi Bai asked aloud.

"Sir, there are thousands of people at Caishikou who saw Shen Bin's head fall to the ground, so there is no way to fake it."

The boy replied.

"Indeed."

Yi Bai nodded.

He secretly thought that he was afraid of reviving the dead body.

Shen Bin was afraid that he would be beheaded, so he ran out in a daze, not knowing that he was dead. He also stumbled across the second son of the Li family who fell from his horse, and accidentally possessed the second son of the Li family.

As a former human being, he had heard many similar stories.

Resurrection!

The most famous one is that Tieguai Li, the head of the Eight Immortals, came back to life through his corpse.

There is a legend that Tieguai Li originally had an extraordinary appearance and a dignified appearance. One day he traveled to Huashan with Laozi. He never thought that his body would be destroyed, so he had no choice but to find a corpse that had just died, and he possessed it.

Unexpectedly, the corpse was ragged, unkempt, and a beggar. Tieguai Li could not accept it. Later, under the guidance of Laozi, he realized that he had a tieguai headband, and this was how Tieguai Li became known to later generations.

The matter of the second son of the Li family is similar to that of Tieguai Li borrowing his corpse to return to life.

The second son of the Li family had already died when he fell off his horse.

Yi Bai sighed in his heart.

Old monk Tao Chan, what kind of thing are you looking for for him?

"Sir, but the matter has been cleared up?"

The old woman asked urgently.

"It's mostly figured out."

Yi Bai looked at the old woman.

He was silent for a while and told everything he knew.

After hearing this, the old woman was extremely frightened and asked repeatedly: "As your husband said, is my second son dead?"

Yi Bai nodded.

The old woman took a few steps back.

Thanks to the help of the boy, he didn't fall down.

Yi Bai didn't know what to do.

He does not have the power to reach heaven, let alone the method to bring the dead back to life. All he can do is to find out the cause.

Yi Bai stood there and held the incense stick for a while.

The old woman stood up from her sadness, walked forward quickly, and said, "Where is Dao Chan? Where is Dao Chan? He must have a way to save my second son!"

The voice of the old woman was pleading.

"Old madam, I don't know either. Old madam can go to the north of the county and have a chance to see Master Dao Chan in the suburbs of the county. Of course, if Master Dao Chan doesn't want to see him, then old madam will not be able to see him."

Yi Bai showed him the way.

"Thank you, thank you!"

The old woman staggered towards the outside of the house.

The boys followed closely behind.

……

Yi Bai saw everyone leaving.

He walked alone to the wing where the second son of the Li family was.

The second son of the Li family was still tied to the bed.

"Have you ever found out the situation? Let me go as soon as possible. My mother is still waiting for me to go back and make medicine!"

The second son of the Li family shouted loudly.

"Shen Bin, don't wake up! You would have died a long time ago!!"

Yi Bai scolded.

The word 'A' was visualized in his mind, and his body exuded the spirit of Dharma.

Upon hearing this, the second son of the Li family wanted to retort angrily, but when the Buddha's light illuminated him, his eyes became dull.

"I'm dead? I'm dead!"

The second son of the Li family, or rather Shen Bin, murmured to himself.

"Shen Bin, think about it for yourself, how could there be any righteous man at that time! Your head has long been chopped off!"

Yi Bai scolded again.

Shen Bin's eyes were distracted, as if he was recalling the past, and he murmured: "I, am I really dead?! Yes, there are righteous people! The executioner at that time said that he knew that I had not stolen the county magistrate's gold and silver. He said he was willing to help me, and when he told me to run, I would run."

"There was a bang, and something hit me. The executioner asked me to run, so I just ran away, and then I bumped into the second son of the Li family..."

"No, no, my head seems to have been chopped off. There are many people at Caishikou taking steamed buns, soaking them with my blood, and using them to treat diseases... I am really dead!!"

Shen Bin suddenly realized it and felt lost. His face was sometimes frightened, sometimes angry, and finally he was just reluctant to leave the world.

He kept saying, "I'm going," but there was no movement.

The second son of the Li family was speechless.

Yi Bai saw a little ghost walking out of his body.

The kid bowed his hands to Yi Bai.

Yi Bai nodded and let him leave.

The little ghost drifted away without a trace.

Yi Bai glanced at the bodies of the second son of the Li family on the bed and walked out.

He raised his head and looked at the scorching sun. He didn't know the weather, but he probably knew it. He didn't have much time to transform into a human being.

He only had one clay ball left.

He didn't want to waste time here, so he immediately walked out of the house.

Yi Bai walked out of Li's Mansion and walked through the streets. On a street, he suddenly stopped.

On the bustling street.

The old woman and her group were walking.

The old Tao Zen monk was also among the team.

Yi Bai saw the old monk.The old monk also saw Yi Bai.

Four eyes facing each other.

Yi Bai shuddered and walked away quickly.

He was just showing the way. He must have been remembered by the old monk Tao Zen.

soon.

Yi Bai walked out of Tanggu County and came to the mountains outside the county.

He plans to walk to the southeastern land to find the authority of the Chen position.

He was just about to transform into a dragon and fly into the sky.

A voice reached his ears.

"Tan Yue, please stay in the mountains for a little while. I will come to find you in the evening."

This is what the old Zen monk said.

Yi Bai listened to this voice without looking back, and whispered "change" in his mouth. The clouds and mist shrouded, and a dragon more than twenty feet tall appeared in the mountain.

"Tan Yue, I will teach you a technique tonight."

The voice came again.

Yi Bai, who had just planned to use the Taoist skill 'Pray for Rain', hesitated.

He thought to himself, isn't this holding his lifeline?

Yi Bai had no choice but to hide in the mountains and wait for the night to come.

……

Dusk sets and night falls.

After night falls, the demonic energy between heaven and earth gradually becomes stronger.

Yi Bai lived in the mountains of Tanggu County. He hid his evil spirit so that no one would disturb him.

He waited for the arrival of the old monk Tao Chan.

It was half dark.

Yi Bai finally waited for the old monk of Tao Chan.

The old Taoist Zen monk came from a distance, shrunk to an inch, with a smile on his face.

"Mage."

Yi Bai always felt that the smile of the old Tao Chan monk was different from usual.

I don't know how to describe it.

Cheerful?

"Tan Yue, you are really good at telling the old monk about me."

The old monk's smile changed. He was still grinning, but it was completely different from before.

"Master, I see that you seem to have some misunderstandings with the old lady, so that's why you do this. It doesn't matter if there is a misunderstanding, the important thing is to resolve the misunderstanding."

Yi Bai said bravely.

"That's all. What Tan Yue said makes sense. I should thank Tan Yue for this."

The old monk shook his head and thanked him.

"Master, I wonder what your relationship is with that old lady?"

Yi Bai asked cautiously.

"She is the person I was engaged to before I became a monk."

The old monk answered calmly.

"Better, betrothed?"

Yi Bai raised his head, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Well, my parents were engaged to me in the beginning. Later, when my parents passed away, I chose to spend all my money and become a monk and practice. Ignoring her obstruction, I left. She tried so hard to find me but couldn't find me for many years before she finally gave up. It has been decades since I chose to start a family.”

The old monk replied with a smile.

It seemed that what he said had nothing to do with him.

"Mage, have you ever had such an experience?"

Yi Bai suddenly realized.

Or he was ashamed, so the old Zen monk never dared to see the old woman.

"Old monk and I have not yet finished our mortal relationship. Tan Yue accidentally allowed me to meet her and untie the knot that had been in my heart for many years."

The old monk put his hands together.

"Why did the Master choose to become a monk in the first place?"

Yi Bai asked.

"Some people are born with their own destiny."

The old monk shook his head and said.

"That's all. Master, I am a person who is enlightened. I am far behind. Master, how do you solve the problem of the two sons of the Li family?"

Yi Bai asked again.

"I'll discuss it with the underworld ghost messenger and ask him to send him up, but he can only stay in the human world for two years. The second son of the Li family will still die in two years."

The old monk shook his head and said.

"Is the underworld ghost so easy to talk to?"

"It's easy to talk, Tan Yue doesn't believe it?"

"Do not believe!"

Yi Bai shook his head decisively.

What the old Taoist Zen monk did was tantamount to changing one's destiny against nature.

I'm afraid that the old monk was very capable and wanted to show off his face to the underworld, so that the second son of the Li family could have two more money in his name, otherwise the corpse would stink by now.

There is no way to live forever in this world.

However, those who have magical powers can change fate against the will of heaven.

Yi Bai thought to himself that if he became one of the Twelve Demons, sitting in the Chen position and ranking among the immortals, he would live as long as the heavens.

"Tan Yue doesn't believe it, and I can't help it. The ghosts from the underworld are easier to talk to than the officials in the human world."

said the old monk.

"What the Master said is true. I wonder if the Master said he wanted to teach me a technique. Is it true or false?"

Yibai's focus is only on this.

When the old monk heard this, he grinned, nodded and said, "It's true. I, old monk, have never lied to anyone."

He reached into his chest and felt around.

Miraculously, he took out a book from his chest. It was covered with dirt and was in a dilapidated state.

"Right here, right here!"

The old monk smiled and handed the book to Yi Bai.

Yi Bai was not surprised. He took the book and put it into the Demon Pill Hutian without studying it immediately.

"Master, this matter is over. It's time for me to set off to find the authority of the Chen position."

Yi Bai bid farewell.

"Don't be anxious, Tan Yue. There are still four days left. It's the New Year's Day. If you wander around, you may be in trouble. The old monk will be lonely and helpless. Why don't Tan Yue and the old monk come together?"

The old monk said this.

When Yi Bai heard this, he thought to himself, New Year's Eve must be New Year's Eve.

New Year's Eve, the day when two years change.

Unknowingly, New Year's Eve is approaching.

It's just New Year's Eve. Could it be that the gods are getting rid of filth?
But he has never heard of the saying that gods will remove impurities on New Year's Eve...
