There are quite a few Taoists in Wuyang Temple, some of them are devoted to practicing Taoism while others just spend their days just idling around.
At this moment, there were several Taoists in the kitchen of Wuyang Temple secretly roasting chickens. Although their Taoist temple did not forbid them from eating meat, they certainly could not eat openly when there were many pilgrims, so they could only cook for themselves secretly.
"Turn it over, it's almost burnt."
"If you keep talking too much, you'll be roasted yourself."
“I bought this chicken.”
"But I'm the one who kills and plucks the chickens."
…
The two Taoists started arguing. At this time, one of them saw a man standing at the door.
He squinted his eyes, and it took him a while to see clearly, "Isn't this Senior Brother Wang? You are hungry too, so we can give you a chicken leg."
Senior Brother Wang slowly floated over from the door, his upper body motionless.
"Brother Wang, why are you closing your eyes? Haha, did you learn this Taoism from your master? It's quite elegant." A Taoist priest had already noticed something was wrong, but still struggled to speak out.
"Is there something wrong, senior brother?" Another Taoist priest pushed his companion.
"No, that's impossible. This is Wuyang Temple. Ghosts and spirits don't dare to approach..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist priest whom they called "Brother Wang" opened his eyes to them.
There is no eyeball in the eye, only bloodshot covering the entire white of the eye.
Even his face was covered with numerous blue-black stripes, making him look particularly strange.
He slowly gave the two Taoists a strange smile, and there seemed to be some strange bloodstains at the corners of his mouth.
"Yes, there is a ghost—"
This day at Wuyang Temple was destined not to be peaceful.
As Cao Qiu was walking back to Wuyang Temple, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
It's strange. It's not that late now. Logically, I should be able to see a few pilgrims returning on the way back. Why didn't I see any today
Cao Qiu had a feeling that something was wrong, so he quietly used a warning card on himself and continued walking towards Wuyang Temple.
In the game dungeon, it is never too careful. Cao Qiu is also an experienced old man, and he will not be reluctant to give up a small prop card.
The closer you get to Wuyang Temple, the quieter it becomes.
Why is it so quiet
Cao Qiu's vigilance had reached its peak, and at this moment he could smell a faint smell of blood in the air.
What happened
Cao Qiu subconsciously wanted to escape, but quickly calmed down. If he ran away without knowing anything, he might miss some important clues.
Be careful, you might be able to spy something.
Cao Qiu crouched down and walked along the path towards the back door of Wuyang Temple.
As soon as she climbed up the wall of Wuyang Temple, Cao Qiu found something on the wall blocking her.
Barrier
She looked down and found that different talismans were posted around the entire Wuyang Temple, turning the entire Wuyang Temple into a cage that could only be entered but not exited.
There is no doubt that these talismans were written by the abbot of Wuyang Temple. What happened in Wuyang Temple that would make the abbot use so many talismans at once
Cao Qiu thought about it, took out a talisman from his body and walked in.
This body of hers is also that of a person from Wuyang Temple, so naturally she has some talismans that she can use.
Just after climbing down from the wall and walking a few steps, Cao Qiu saw several little Taoist children lying on the ground.
"Dead." Cao Qiu sniffed the breath of these Taoist children and found that none of them had any life. There was an obvious blood hole on their necks, as if something had pierced through them directly, and almost all the blood and energy in their bodies had been sucked out.
This... I'm afraid that only by having a few zombies pop up can this effect be achieved.
Cao Qiu wanted to contact Ning Bu to ask them, but he found that there were no mobile phones in this era, and they didn't have any prop cards for communication, so he could only continue to move forward cautiously.
The sound of fighting came from the main courtyard.
Cao Qiu held his breath and used an invisibility card on himself, which gave him more courage to move forward.
The abbot of Wuyang Temple and the remaining Taoists were sitting at the gate of the main courtyard, seemingly performing a ritual. Opposite them was a Taoist with his feet floating in the air, and a faint red light was still emanating from his body.
What kind of weird situation is this
Cao Qiu's mind was full of question marks, but she knew that if she went out now, she would be targeted by both sides. She had no way to explain why she, a small sect, could be invisible and not be discovered by them, so she could only continue to be a third party who watched from the sidelines.
"Master, I can't hold on any longer." A young Taoist priest said to the master of Wuyang Temple, "Should we wait until dawn?"
"Hold on." The head of Wuyang Temple could hardly maintain his sagely appearance. "Your Senior Brother Wang is already dead. He was wearing a blood-stained robe that was cursed. When the roosters crowed, he naturally couldn't maintain his magic power."
"Master, I, I really can't hold on any longer." After a Taoist priest said this, he fell straight down and stopped breathing in the blink of an eye, scaring the Taoist priests around him.
"Don't panic!" The head of Wuyang Temple could only continue to encourage his disciples, "Hold on for a while."
The Taoist priest in wedding dress opposite seemed unable to find a way to attack them, so he could only stare at them from the side, putting some psychological pressure on these insignificant young Taoist priests.
As time passed slowly, the abbot of Wuyang Temple showed a more relieved look on his face.
When the rooster crowed, the Taoist priest floating in the air could no longer hold on and fell down. A blood-red wedding dress was quickly peeled off from his body and he soon disappeared.
"Master, what on earth is this?" A disciple who was barely still conscious couldn't help but ask, "What on earth was that thing that flew out?"
"It's a lost Taoist technique." The Wuyang Temple master's face was dark and ugly. "It must be that Senior Brother stole the Taoist secret manual passed down by our ancestors when he left Wuyang Temple. I didn't expect that he actually cracked the code on it and used it against us!"
"This, this is actually the magic of our Wuyang Temple?" The Taoist priests nearby were stunned, "But this is clearly a sorcery, this..."
"What kind of evil magic?" The head of Wuyang Temple interrupted them. "If used well, it's magic. If used poorly, it's evil magic. Those corpse-driving people in Xiangxi also have a secret method of refining corpses. Aren't they also legitimate descendants of Taoism?"
Seeing that the abbot of Wuyang Temple was still scolding his disciples, Cao Qiu thought about it and retreated.
We can't stay here anymore.
She also knew before that the position of the abbot of Wuyang Temple was snatched by the abbot from his senior brother. She didn't expect that his senior brother actually learned more powerful magic and came back for revenge
This is purely an internal struggle within Wuyang Temple.
No, it shouldn't be that simple.
Cao Qiu felt that something was still wrong, but she didn't want to go back to Wuyang Temple anymore. If this place could be attacked once, it could be attacked a second time. This time she was lucky that she didn't come back from outside, but she wouldn't be so lucky next time.
Sure enough, the closer the time for ancestor worship came, the more crises there became.
Cao Qiu made up her mind and immediately turned around to go to the Xing family. She decided to meet up with Liang Feining first!
Marshal Li’s Mansion.
An Buli stood beside his brother, ready to go with him to the Xing family to propose marriage, to agree on a specific date, and to meet the eldest daughter of the Xing family.
The black spot on his chest had expanded to the size of half a palm, and An Buli could sense that his spirit was declining every day. He had tried using healing item cards, but they were of no use at all.
This is not physical damage, so healing item cards are of no use at all.
Fortunately, Li Dawei didn't seem to realize that he was the one who peeped at him. He talked to An Buli as usual, nothing special. He just asked him to make the eldest daughter of the Xing family happy and get some information about the Xing family from her.
"Brother, I heard that the eldest daughter of the Xing family said that she wants to set the wedding time at midnight. Isn't this a custom only for ghost marriages?" An Buli looked at his eldest brother with an uneasy face, "Please talk to the Marshal and see if it can be changed. I am willing to marry her, but this time is really terrible."
"Who said it wasn't?" An Buli's eldest brother also agreed, "But they also said that the eldest lady is determined to die at this time. Maybe she wants us to give up and cancel the engagement."
"So, are we really going to agree to her like this?" An Buli looked at him in shock.
Hey, hey, if you see this, something bad will happen.
Why are these people no longer cautious when it comes to interests, even though they were very cautious before
"Don't worry." An Buli's eldest brother said seriously, "Our Marshal also has experts to help him. Not to mention getting married at midnight, even if it's Qingming, there won't be any problems."
Haha, that’s not necessarily true.
An Buli wanted to resist, but he had no reason to do so, so he had to follow them to the Xing family.
Ning Buwen and Liang Fei were both woken up early in the morning. Especially Ning Buwen, who was asked by his mother-in-law to be the eldest lady's dowry servant, and was extremely busy.
"Mother-in-law, hasn't the eldest lady gotten up yet?" Ning Buwen asked curiously, "The eldest lady hasn't come out since last night."
"The young lady said that her wedding dress is a little too big, and she is altering it." The mother-in-law didn't seem to care much. "Marshal Li's people will be here soon. You guys get ready. I'll help the young lady wash and dress. That's all."
"Yes." Ning Bu Wen actually wanted to meet Xing Fangfang more, but he was being watched so closely that he had to give up this idea temporarily.
At this moment, Cao Qiu had already arrived at the gate of the Xing family and was thinking about how to meet up with Ning Buwen and the others.
Early in the morning, Marshal Li's men came towards the Xing family with various gifts. People around were watching and whispering.
Cao Qiu was also watching.
When she was about to put on an invisible card and sneak in, she turned around and saw the abbot of Wuyang Temple coming over with his few disciples as if nothing had happened.
I'll go.
This is a very high level of awareness. The bodies of the Taoist priests in the temple have not been dealt with yet.
Cao Qiu didn't know what to sigh about for a moment.
Since we all have to be invisible, why not just follow the people from Wuyang Temple? Even if the time of the invisibility prop expires, at least we can get away with it, right
An Buli felt his palms were slightly warm and knew someone had used a prop card.
Before he came to the Xing family, he knew that there must be people from the Second Legion here, so he used a prop card observer card on himself in advance. If someone used a prop card around him, it would generate heat.
One appeared so quickly, I wonder which one it is
Knowing that there were people from the Second Legion here, An Buli felt a little relieved.
He had originally planned to complete the mission alone, but now he had accidentally been tricked, and he didn't know what this black thing on his chest would do to him. For the sake of his life, he had to put his principles aside.
If you die in the game, you really die. He never thought of losing his life because of a momentary impulse!
Ning Buwen followed her mother-in-law and stood in the living room with Xing Fangfang, who was already dressed up.
After Xing Fangfang dressed up carefully, she really was a rare beauty, and the servants in the house couldn't take their eyes off her.
The master of the Xing family is very confident in his daughter's appearance. Even if she gets married for the second time, with his daughter's appearance, he will never have to worry about people coming to propose marriage.
Liang Fei followed behind Xing Tianyou and exchanged glances with Ning Buwen.
Currently, everything is fine.
The Xing family attached great importance to this marriage, and almost everyone who could be named came, including the butler who had a good relationship with Ning Buwen, who was naturally there.
The people from Marshal Li's side and the people from Wuyang Temple arrived almost at the same time.
Fortunately, the Xing family’s house is big enough and they have reserved a seat in advance.
As soon as the master of Wuyang Temple sat down, he saw Xing Fangfang smiling at him shyly, so he had to force a smile.
Ning Bu Wen secretly looked at the people on both sides, looking for anyone who might be a player.
After looking around, the possibility was finally placed on the young man who was engaged to Xing Fangfang.
He is the most likely one.
Xing Fangfang is so beautiful that almost all the men around Marshal Li are staring at her, but the young man who is about to marry her seems unmoved. If he is not a player, then there must be something fishy going on.
The acting is not good.
Ning Buwen sighed in his heart.
He intuitively felt that this person should be An Buli, because Wen Duoduo seemed to be smarter than him.
Just as Ning Buwen was sighing, an invisible hand quietly grabbed his hand and wrote something.
Autumn.
Cao Qiu
Ning Buwen was suspicious, so he secretly told his mother-in-law that he needed to go to the bathroom and slipped out carefully.
Not long after he went out, Cao Qiu's invisibility card expired.
"Why didn't you come with the people from Wuyang Temple?" Ning Buwen asked curiously, "I was wondering why I didn't see you just now."
"Don't mention it. Wuyang Temple was massacred." Cao Qiu said with a gloomy face, "It seems to be an internal struggle in Wuyang Temple. I don't know the details."
"Wait." Ning Buwen interrupted her, "You said the dress you saw was red."
"Yes, but I couldn't see it clearly from a distance."
"Think carefully, is it a wedding dress?" Ning Buwen continued to ask, "Not very long, but very gorgeous."
"It seems, a little bit similar." Cao Qiu thought hard for a while, but still wasn't sure.
"Last night, Xing Fangfang locked herself in the room with her wedding dress." Ning Buwen glanced at Cao Qiu calmly, "And at the same time, you found that Wuyang Temple was attacked."
"Are you saying that it was Xing Fangfang who did it? But the temple master clearly said..."
"I heard from my mother-in-law that the Xing family used to employ a very powerful Taoist priest. That Taoist priest personally read Xing Fangfang's fortune and said that it was he who told her that Xing Fangfang's fate was invaluable." Ning Buwen smiled slightly, "After that, that Taoist priest also became Xing Fangfang's mentor."
"That means..."
"I was wondering before, why did Xing Fangfang suddenly choose to get married and come back? If the Feng Shui master she met when she was a child was the senior brother driven away by your temple master, everything would make sense." Ning Buwen said affirmatively, "Maybe there really is something priceless in the Xing family's Feng Shui treasure cave, so they want to fight for it."
"Then aren't you in danger?" Cao Qiu was stunned for a moment and then quickly reacted, "That Xing Fangfang might be more dangerous than we thought."
"She won't attack the Xing family for now. She still wants to participate in the ancestor worship." Ning Buwen felt that he was very safe at the moment. "How many invisibility cards do you have?"
"There's only one left." Cao Qiu was a little worried. "The invisible card is very useful. I have to rob it every time I buy it."
"Go invisible and try to find Xing Fangfang's fiancé." Ning Buwen ordered, "If I'm not mistaken, he should be An Buli. We need to know what's going on with Marshal Li."
