On the day of the Taoist Exchange Conference, Yan Chu put on the Taoist robe he wore when he came down from the mountain, but because his hair was cut short, he looked less fairy-like than before, with a bit more smoke and dust .
Before leaving, he told the little ghost Lin Yuan to stay in the jade pendant all day and not to come out, and then put the jade pendant inside his coat, so that others could only see the red string tied around his neck, but not him. What to wear around the neck.
Yan Chu was not very worried that someone would be able to discover Lin Yuan's existence at the exchange meeting. The supernatural curse almost washed away all the ghost aura on her body. In addition, her soul and body were incomplete, and her sense of existence was small. I am afraid that even if the patriarch was reborn , even if Lin Yuan didn't take the initiative to show up, she wouldn't be able to sense her.
Lin Yuan went, and Lin Yang must follow. As for Yu Yu and Cheng Yuanyuan, they suddenly called before leaving, saying that they were going to go with the elders at home.
Xuanmen has always been inseparable from powerful families, and cultivation requires a lot of money to support it. Therefore, every time there is a Xuanmen exchange meeting, there will be many rich and powerful people. It is also a grand event for those rich and powerful to know which celestial masters with real skills have emerged from the Taoist sect.
This time the exchange conference was held in Lan Province, and the Yu family and the Cheng family, as well-known families in Lan Province, were naturally invited.
Yan Chu and Lin Dang didn't have any means of transportation, so they took a taxi to the venue of the conference, the largest star-rated hotel in Lan Province, Lilan Tiandu.
"Do you think Xiaoyuan should stay in another place?"
Sitting in the taxi, Lin Yang said something silently, looking straight at Yan Chu's chest.
The driver sitting in the driver's seat saw Lin Yang's fiery eyes through the rearview mirror, and secretly sighed that all the good-looking men these days are having sex with men, so he looked away, fearing that he would see something he shouldn't see later. screen.
"It's safe."
Yan Chu didn't understand why Lin Yuan said this. Lin Yuan had been in the jade pendant for more than ten years, and she had been integrated with the jade pendant for a long time, and could not be separated easily.
The two people were not talking about the same issue, but when it came to safety, Lin Yang stopped talking. Now that half of his younger sister's remnant soul still exists, he is already grateful to God, and he can't just leave before the other half is found. Throw that half away too.
He silently warned his sister in his heart that he was just a ghost, and that Yan Chu couldn't eat her tofu, but seeing that the jade pendant was probably on Yan Chu's chest, Lin Dang still couldn't see it, so he could only force himself to turn his head and stare at her. Don't look at peace of mind.
It’s really not that Yan Chu is not particular. When you get used to every time you open your eyes, there is a little female ghost lying next to you looking at you, and she wants to sneak in after you go to the toilet to take a shower. Compared with the previous few things, it’s just Wearing her jade pendant next to her body is already a matter of no concern.
*****
All the people present today are famous people from Lan Province, and the designated banquet hall is naturally the largest and most luxurious Peony Hall in Lilan Tiandu.
The position at the door was etiquette to check every customer's invitation letter, and when it was Lin Yang's turn, Yan Chu said directly: "This is my male companion."
"Boy, huh? Uh, okay."
Miss Manners froze for a moment, looked at Yan Chu suspiciously, remembered what kind of people the manager said were here today, quickly lowered her head, and respectfully invited them in.
Any metaphysical methods are deceptive in the eyes of ordinary people, but there are many dignitaries present at the same time, no matter which one of them is offended, her job will be over.
When Yan Chu and Lin Yang entered, the banquet hall was already very lively. Before that, Lin Yang wondered if Yan Chu was overdressed, but looking at all the strange clothes in the room, he seemed afraid that others would think he was simple. "Heavenly Masters" suddenly felt that Yan Chu's simple Taoist robes were already very restrained.
Especially a few of them, with colorful cloth bags hanging on their bodies, their hair braided into centipede braids, and they haven't been washed for an unknown period of time, they look crazy.
There are also a few dressed in exotic clothes, most of their arms are bare, and the beaded chain around their necks looks a little weird, just like a skeleton.
Of course, the most important thing is that these people are ugly.
Lin Yang clicked his tongue, he thought that all the Taoists were people like Yan Chu.
However, there are no exceptions, such as an old man surrounded by stars and moons at the banquet.
The silky silver-white Tang suit is noble and restrained, with white hair all over his head. Although there are many wrinkles on his face, it is as white as jade, without the slightest mottled and dull skin of the old man. He became the focal point of the field.
"Little Celestial Master."
As soon as Yan Chu appeared, Cheng Yuanyuan, who had been staring at the door, immediately saw him.
At this time, the Yu family and the Cheng family were on the left and right sides of the old man. Cheng Yuanyuan shouted at Yan Chu, and the people beside her naturally followed her gaze to look at Yan Chu, including the one who had always been calm and calm, as if he was detached from the world. Elderly people outside.
"This is the young man who made the talisman. Sure enough, the waves of the Yangtze River push forward the waves of the past. His future is immeasurable."
Xiao Yan chuckled, happy that Xuanmen has such a descendant.
Such a well-known master is almost like an ordinary old man at the moment. He looks at Yan Chu with loving and kind eyes. Compared with the cold-tempered old man, he is more like an elder who grew up watching Yan Chu, making people feel close to him. And the urge to confide in him.
"Master Yan, this is Old Mr. Xiao, who is also the president of this Xuanmen Exchange Conference."
Yu Cheng recommended for Yan Chu. He hadn't made up his mind before, whether he should ask Mr. Xiao to take action, because once he did, offending Yan Chu, a capable celestial master, would be inevitable up.
The methods of the people in the Taoist sect are treacherous, and it is difficult to guarantee that Yan Chu will hate them for secretly attacking them. Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, Yu Cheng decided not to make any plans for the time being. Decide.
For the sake of Yu Yu's son, Yu Cheng is also heartbroken. The things he is doing now, if the troubles are not good, both sides will suffer, but who will let the other side be tied down by his son's life? Be more careful.
However, before Yan Chu came, Mr. Xiao had already tested the talisman hanging around Yu Yu's neck out of curiosity, and it turned out that it was indeed a magic weapon of high quality. Yan Chu's trust increased a little, and he also regretted his superfluous behavior these days.
No, Yan Chu couldn't wait to introduce Xiao Yan, the master, for him as soon as he came here. How many Taoist people present couldn't get a chance to talk to Xiao Yan, and Yan Chu should be happy that he did so.
It was also Yu Cheng who made a common sense mistake and confused Yan Chu with the ordinary monks present, thinking that the other party should be as excited when seeing Xiao Yan as a fan seeing an idol. In this way, the other party might ignore his small actions these days.
In fact, Yan Chu really didn't care much about his behavior these days. Besides being the chairman of the Yu Corporation, the other party was also a father. As a father, it was understandable that he had made more detailed preparations and plans for his child.
After all, he is not an orthodox Taoist monk, and he really doesn't care that much about some tacit unspoken rules of Taoism.
"I didn't know that we have a young talent like you in our Taoist sect. I don't know who to learn from."
Xiao Yan looked at Yan Chu with gentleness and benevolence, not at all putting on a superior posture because of his current status.
"The master is unknown in Xuanmen, and the juniors are not allowed to act in his name outside."
Before going out, the old Taoist said that although he didn't have much to do with Taoism in the secular world in this life, he still had a few sworn enemies, and most of those sworn enemies were old bastards. Tian's aptitude does not necessarily mean that he will lose, but the original body has a fatal flaw, that is experience.
The old way's enemies, they are already very mature, with endless tricks, Yan Chu can't deal with it, so before going down the mountain, the old way told him not to say that he has nothing to do with him, if he is caught by those who smell fishy If you get entangled with the bastards that Wei found, it will be troublesome.
Although an expert who is as capable as the old Tao may not necessarily put down his face and care about Yan Chu, a junior, if he is not afraid of 10,000, he is afraid of the eventuality. These troubles that can be avoided are naturally avoided.
Yan Chu's refusal seemed to those around him to be ignorant of flattery, and he missed such a good opportunity to talk to Mr. Xiao, so it would be better to give this opportunity to others.
"Since you don't want to say it, forget it."
Xiao Yan himself was not offended by the rustling discussions around him, and praised Yan Chu a few more words, and left the banquet hall on the pretext of being tired.
This time the Xuanmen exchange meeting, he is actually a mascot-like existence, and he will not participate too much in it. His age is considered, and everyone also expressed understanding. Regarding the fact that he left the banquet not long after the banquet started, No one talks too much.
"How old is Master Xiao?"
Lin Yang couldn't help but asked Yan Chu, seeing that he was full of white hair, he should be quite old, but looking at his skin, it was really impossible to judge his age, could this be the ability of a monk
"Six out of ninety."
Lin Yang was taken aback by Yan Chu's answer. There are not many people who are still so energetic at such an age, especially his skin, which is somewhat younger than that of an old man in his fifties or sixties.
Looking around, the celestial masters who came to participate in this Taoist exchange conference seem to be around thirty or forty years old. Those who are younger than this have not yet reached the stage of practice, and those who are older than this have suffered from five disadvantages and three shortcomings plus additional karma. It is difficult to live a long life.
Old people in their eighties and nineties are not uncommon under today's medical and living conditions, but in Taoism, they really exist like national treasures, and it's no wonder that Lin Yuan is strange. People like Xiao Yan are really living adults. "Fine".
*****
In the dark room, talisman papers were plastered everywhere without any gaps, but these talisman papers were different from the talisman pictures drawn with cinnabar that I had seen in the past. They were too red, with a faint light, as if they could flow .
The room was very empty. In Nuo Da's room, there was only an altar in the middle, surrounded by red lines, and a large black urn in the middle, which kept shaking. It seemed that there was something alive inside, but it was suppressed and could not come out.
"Eighteen years ago, there were two lifeless things that ruined my good affairs. After so many years, another newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers came out, Jie Jie Jie."
The room was opened, and a beam of light rarely shone in the dark room. It seemed that the presence of that beam of light was sensed. The vibration frequency of the big black urn became larger, and the contents seemed to be broken at any time. out.
"Red girl, red girl, I have carefully cultivated you for so many years, before you completely dissipate, please do me another good deed."
The room was closed again, and after those words, the lid of the big black urn was lifted suddenly, and a dark red phantom filled the whole room, accompanied by ghostly screams and a strong bloody aura.
*****
The first day of the Xuanmen Exchange Conference was just a process of eating, drinking and exchanging. The real highlight, in the next seven days, all the monks who were invited and participated in the exchange meeting for the first time would default to participate in the three-yearly Xuanmen Nebi players.
Every time the Xuanmen exchange conference will hold a competition, or put the contestants in the famous haunted house, or put the contestants on a barren mountain and island where the formation has been set up in advance...
The competition items of each exchange meeting are different, and the winners will not only get the high-grade magic weapon provided by the Xuanmen Mutual Aid Association, but also an opportunity for some young monks to show their talents.
Anyone who has won the top rankings in the industry will definitely have a steady stream of business in the coming year, and the wealthy businessmen who participated in this exchange conference may become his customers.
Since Yan Chu came to participate, and it was the first time to participate in the exchange meeting, it was no exception, and he also wanted to participate in this competition.
The competition this time is a little different from the previous ones. The requirement is to bring two ordinary people and spend seven days on a deserted island. You can choose to give up halfway, and someone will naturally send them out safely.
Yan Chu chose to bring Lin Yang and Yu Yu with him. After all, Cheng Yuanyuan was a girl, and there were many inconveniences in staying with him on a deserted island for seven days.
It's just that the little girl's curiosity is too strong. When Yan Chu rejected her, she mobilized the elders of the Cheng family and cleared up the relationship so that a female monk took her. Get together.
Yan Chu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. What he bet on was that girl's curiosity about the Taoist exchange meeting. If he had brought either her, Lin Yang or Yu Yu, he was not sure that the two of them would be the same. Find a way to follow.
The man's seventh sense told him that something would happen to Nabi this time, and instead of letting Cheng Yuanyuan stay where he couldn't take care of him, it would be better to let her go to Nabi this time.
*****
Before the start of the competition, each contestant has three days of preparation time. During this time, you can collect as many charms as possible. These foreign objects are also a kind of strength. Yan Chu has a lot of things in his hand. These three He spent all his days studying numerology.
"Six yin men."
Yan Chu held the compass and kept calculating, not to mention, he really asked him to figure out a problem.
As we all know, on the day of the lunar eclipse, the yin is the heaviest, and it is also Lin Yang's reminder to Yan Chu when he tells the story of his childhood in order to arouse Lin Yuan's memory.
Although the two were twins, there was a gap of more than two hours between their births. When Lin Yuan was born, it coincided with a total lunar eclipse, that is to say, in addition to her six-yin female fate, there was an extra month of yin.
The same is true for Yu Yu, and more importantly, the day when he had a car accident was also a cloudy day, which means that all of this was planned by someone, as he guessed.
Six yin fates plus double moon yin days, this is to gather all the evil spirits and create the most yin and evil ghosts.
But if it was just like this, Yan Chu felt that it wouldn't work. Then, what was Cheng Yuanyuan's destiny as a Liuyang girl used for? Could it be that her last life was just a coincidence and her death was just an accident
Another point, which is also a headache for Yan Chu, is the original body's horoscope, which he doesn't know.
People in Taoism care more about their own horoscope than ordinary people, and they are also wary of others knowing it and using it to curse and murder.
Yuanzhen's parents were also from the Taoist sect, so naturally they also valued this point. Yuanchen was born at home, and Yuanchen's father delivered the baby. Therefore, except for the husband and wife, no one knew the exact horoscope of Yuanchen. Yuan Shen's parents had died fourteen years ago, so Yuan Shen's horoscope became a complete mystery.
Now all he knows is the birth date of the original body, but he can't get the exact time, but based on the calculation of the date, he has already gathered Sanyang, plus the place of birth, the old house of the Yan family, and the time. It is the body of the four suns.
Make a bold guess, he might not be the missing Liuyang man.
That is to say, that unknown existence killed Lin Yuan and Yu Yu not simply because he wanted to refine the ghosts, but he might have another purpose.
But the six yin women, six yin men, six yang women, six yang men, plus the two-month yin day, what kind of sorcery is it for
The fate chart in front of him had been messed up, and Yan Chu felt that he was very close to the truth, just a little bit, but which important clue was missing
What exactly was he neglecting, Yan Chu frowned and thought hard.
In his annoyance, he felt a chill go down his back, and immediately turned sideways to avoid it.
Like a dream, the strong blood-bale air filled the entire nasal cavity, accompanied by a strong rancid smell, which made people want to vomit.
Yan Chu turned his head, and there was a mass of red and black air on the top of the ceiling that was too thick to dissipate, revealing the figure of a person, who was standing upside down on the top like this.
When he turned his head, what happened to him was the pair of black hole-like eyes, and the cheeks that were covered with rotten flesh and sunken like dry bones.
"Bad boy, I found you again, hee hee hee—"
A shrill, ghostly voice sounded from beside his ears, Yan Chu's pupils shrank, it was the voice from a dream.
