Chapter 144

Although the three of Fang’s family didn’t know who Jing Zhao was, they only saw that she could hide her figure so that they couldn’t see her. She must be a Taoist master like Daoist Xie. Thinking about it this way, the relationship between the two of them is not so strange. .

It took about an hour to go down the mountain. Steward Fang, who had finally climbed up, felt his legs tremble when he went down the mountain, as if he was about to roll down the mountain at any time.

Xie Changyun kindly drew two talismans for someone. After using the talisman paper, Steward Fang exclaimed that it was amazing, and he admired Xie Changyun even more.

Jing Zhao never broke melons and fruits all the way, and all the things that Xie Changyun refused to let go into her stomach.

The housekeeper of the Fang family watched all the way, Daoist Xie not only didn’t say anything, but even wiped his mouth after eating, and he never let go of the hand that was held all the way, so he deeply thought that if there was anything, it would be better to ask Mrs. Xie than directly. It still works.

Then he became more courteous to Jing Zhao, and when he arrived at the Fang Mansion, Master Fang heard the news and rushed to the gate to greet them, welcomed the two into the door, and ordered the servants to prepare good wine and meat for them.

After learning that Jing Zhao was actually Xie Changyun’s wife, Master Fang’s expression was subtle for a moment, but after Steward Fang whispered in his ear for a while, he immediately changed his attitude, and personally called his wife to come out to accompany him.

Mr. Fang’s wife, Mrs. Yu, is a beautiful woman with a kind face and a soft Jiangnan accent.

Xie Changyun only drank a cup of tea and said: “It’s not too late, please ask Patriarch Fang to lead the way, and let Pindao go to see your son.”

Fang Zhengyuan, the Patriarch of the Fang family, was worried about his son, so he also stood up, “This way please, Priest.”

Xie Changyun glanced at Jing Zhao who was still sitting on the seat, and in exchange for the other party to look back and smile: “Let’s go, Taoist priest, I’ll wait here for the Taoist priest to come back.”

Xie Changyun looked at her and said in a low voice, “Don’t mess around.”

How could she be fooling around? She’s doing serious things, alright, the Taoist priest is really getting more and more verbose. Jing Zhao opened his moist eyes and looked at Xie Changyun innocently.

Xie Changyun is well aware of Jing Zhao’s nature, it’s not that he’s afraid of anything else, but that if she finds something abnormal while staying here, she won’t wait for him to act without authorization.

So he was rather willing that she could follow him anytime and anywhere, unfortunately, if she didn’t follow him now, it would make it difficult for him to speak.

Xie Changyun was still a little hesitant, when he heard a coquettish smile covering his lips, it was Mrs. Fang, seeing Xie Changyun’s expression, it was very similar to the moment when her master just married her, wishing to take it with her everywhere, so she thought the two She is newly married, so she smoothed things over in a timely manner and said, “Don’t worry, Taoist priest, with me by your side, Madam Xie won’t be bored.”

Xie Changyun raised his eyes slightly, knowing that Mrs. Fang had misunderstood, but he couldn’t delay any longer, so he could only politely say: “Then there will be Mrs. Lao Fang.”

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at Jing Zhao, with a hint of warning in his eyes, then turned around and followed Master Fang to leave the banquet.

After the men had left, the women naturally began to chat about rather secretive topics.

Mrs. Fang seemed to be a soft and soft person, but in fact she spoke very sharply. She was also very curious about Jing Zhao and Xie Changyun, and kept asking questions.

Seeing that she didn’t seem to be worried about her son at all, Jing Zhao couldn’t help asking, only then did he learn that Fang Dingshan, the only son of the Fang Mansion, was not the child of the Yu family, but was born to Fang Zhengyuan’s original wife.

No wonder Mrs. Yu looks so young, she really doesn’t look like a woman who has given birth to a twenty-year-old son. Mrs. Yu is honest, she said that she and Fang Dingshan are not much different in age, and the two have no family relationship at all. On weekdays, it is necessary to avoid suspicion when getting along, so her attitude is not surprising.

In addition to the relationship between the two, Jing Zhao inquired without any trace, such as what happened to Fang Dingshan before he started having nightmares, or what special people he met, and where he went.

Because the Yu family has the right to be a housekeeper, although they don’t get along much with Fang Dingshan, they still have a grasp of his whereabouts.

“What do you want to say? There is nothing special about it. The child Dingshan has already reached the crown. I discussed with the master and arranged a marriage for him. He is a girl from the Qiu family in the north of the city. Seeing that the betrothal gifts have been given away, But this child started to have nightmares non-stop, and he lost a lot of weight, and I don’t know what happened…”

As she spoke, Mrs. Yu sighed a little, and even wondered if the child didn’t want to marry a girl from the Qiu family, so she pretended to be, but the sick look didn’t look like it. Could it be that the two are really incompatible, but the characters of the two are clearly It fits perfectly.

“As for who to meet, this kid has loved reading since he was a child, and basically doesn’t go out very much. Except for going out with Mr. Zhao’s son, he has never seen anyone else!” Mrs. Yu held a round fan in her hand. Fanning lightly, he even frowned slightly and became confused when he said it.

Jing Zhao listened, and occasionally asked a few questions about something suspicious, just as the maid in the house brought two bowls of ice-brewed sweet-scented osmanthus honey, Mrs. Fang asked Jing Zhao to taste it together.

As soon as Jing Zhao picked up the spoon and took a sip, Xie Changyun came back. Jing Zhao looked back, and saw Daoist Xie’s expression was calm. Just by looking at his expression, he couldn’t tell whether this matter was easy or difficult.

But Jing Zhao is not worried, he has been in this way for three years in Tianxue Temple, no matter how difficult the monsters are, Daoist Xie can easily solve them, and this makes the reputation of Tianxue Temple spread, and many people admire it come.

As soon as Xie Changyun came over, Jing Zhao got up to meet him and asked, “How is it?”

Xie Changyun frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: “It is indeed a monster, but the hiding place of this monster is quite strange, and we need to search carefully.”

Before Jing Zhao could speak, Madam Fang at the side heard Xie Changyun’s words, put down the carved porcelain cup in her hand in shock, and said in a trembling voice, “Really, there must be monsters?”

Xie Changyun nodded and didn’t say much, he just said that he had to go out for a while, and the situation with Mr. Fang’s family had stabilized, and there would be no more nightmares for the time being.

In fact, when Xie Changyun just went to check, he found that Fang Dingshan’s body was heavy with evil spirit, but it was not infected from the outside, but from the inside, which was strange.

And just looking at the monster aura on Fang Dingshan’s body, it shows that he has been haunted by monsters for a long time. If he is an ordinary person, he is afraid that his soul will soon return to his dream, and he will die.

However, Fang Dingshan was only having nightmares and his face was sallow and thin. This is actually unreasonable, so Xie Changyun checked on the spot again, and found that Fang Dingshan was wearing a high-quality bodhi wood bead string on his wrist. There were ten beads in total. It’s just that there are some cracks on some beads.

He finally found the reason. After careful questioning of the master of the Fang family, he found out that the string of bodhi beads in Fang Dingshan’s hand had been enshrined in front of the Buddha for several years, and had been contaminated by the Buddha’s light. This allowed Fang Dingshan to save his life for a while.

It’s just that if the monster is not eliminated, the Bodhi Pearl won’t last long.

Xie Changyun went down the mountain this time not only for the Fang family’s affairs, but to solve the nightmare of the “sleeping plague” in the city. Although he has not checked those sleeping people, Xie Changyun feels that the Fang family’s young master’s illness has something to do with the strange things that happened in the city. It should be born from the same source.

So after inspecting the situation of the young master of the Fang family, he immediately left the Fang mansion and went to another house to investigate the situation.

The master of the Fang family also asked the steward of the house to prepare a blueprint, which is the location of the names of people who have recently suffered from the strange sleeping disease in Xiling City. funeral.

Most of the rest are women, but there are also a small number of men, but there is nothing special about it.

It is inconvenient for them to disturb those who have passed away, but there are still many people in the city who have fallen asleep in their homes.

Because of the greeting cards from Fang’s family, Xie Changyun and Jing Zhao visited several families and learned some basic information.

Those sleeping people really couldn’t be woken up from the outside. Xie Changyun tried it and found that if he was forced to wake them up, the people who woke up would die on the spot, so he didn’t do anything.

If you want these people to wake up, it seems that you still need to find the haunting monster first.

The hiding place and the way of causing troubles of this monster are relatively rare. Although Xie Changyun has some clues, it is not complete.

After talking with the Patriarch of the Zhao family, Xie Changyun walked out of the alley, and saw Jing Zhao sitting on the railing of the pavilion in a bright yellow dress, with his hair swaying like willow branches, surrounded by a bunch of servant girls.

The flower demon, the more she cultivates, the more beautiful she becomes. What’s more, in the past few years, Jing Zhao and Xie Changyun have double cultivated almost every night, and she is no longer the little flower demon with a low cultivation base.

With a charming appearance and a bright smile, he really deserves the word “monster”. The servants of the Zhao family thought it was a fairy who came out of nowhere, and they all came together and said good things, hoping that Bomei would smile.

Jing Zhao responded one after another, and suddenly felt that someone was watching him, and when he turned around, he saw Xie Changyun standing beside the first rockery not far away, staring at her intently, with neither sadness nor joy.

She immediately got up to avoid the servants and maids, and flew over like a butterfly, standing beside Xie Changyun.

Xie Changyun hugged her when she approached, the bright yellow dress was intertwined with the elegant white clothes, the servants who were still watching not far away suddenly opened their mouths, they all knew that a white-haired Taoist came to the mansion Long, but I don’t know that this Taoist leader actually carries a beauty with him? The servants became curious about the relationship between Xie Changyun and Jing Zhao.

Mr. Zhao on the side was also a little surprised, but he was used to seeing big winds and waves, and thought that Jing Zhao was a beautiful concubine given to Xie Changyun by others, so it was hard to point it out, so he could only pretend he didn’t see it, and then said earnestly: ” I also hope that the Taoist priest can catch the evildoer earlier and save my son’s life!”

Xie Changyun nodded slightly at the person, and then left with Jing Zhao.

Jing Zhao looked at Daoist Xie holding her hand, and felt that something was not in line with his usual style.

Daoist Xie was considerate occasionally, but most of the time he was very serious. Jing Zhao understood why he acted so abruptly after a second thought.

Immediately stopped, turned around and hugged Xie Changyun’s waist, looked at him narrowly and said, “Master Daoist, were you…jealous just now?”

Xie Changyun lowered his eyes, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, “Why are you jealous if you haven’t eaten?”

“Well…jealous means that when you see me with other men, you will feel unhappy and unhappy.”

Xie Changyun paused, and knew that she had already seen through his thoughts, but he was always calm and would not hide it awkwardly, he just said: “It’s really not happy.”

Jing Zhao was taken aback by Xie Changyun’s calmness, and when he realized it, he pursed his lips and smiled, then tiptoed to hook Xie Changyun’s neck, and kissed him quite intimately on the lips.

“Are you happy now?”

Xie Changyun was hooked by her and bowed his waist slightly, a strand of white hair hung down, feeling her comfort, his slightly narrow eyes were like the moon in the sky, falling into a clear pool, there was a slightly fluctuating tenderness in the cold.

He silently hugged her into his arms, resting his chin on her forehead, and said with downcast eyes: “I am not a saint, I am full of emotions and desires, I am too vulgar.” That’s why he would be jealous and want to possess her.

Jing Zhao smiled: “It’s better for the Taoist priest to be a layman. If he were a saint, where would I still exist?”

Xie Changyun didn’t speak, but only slightly squeezed her hand tightly.

It took a while before I heard him say: “I used the method of traction, and deduced that the place where the monster is located should be in the east.”

Dongfang, hearing what Xie Changyun said, Jing Zhao suddenly thought of something and said: “I asked before, Mrs. Fang said that Mr. Fang had gone out with the young masters of the Zhao family before he fell ill, and just now I learned about Zhao’s family from Zhao’s servants. The son went to Dongshan Pavilion outside Xiling City that day.”

The direction of Dongshan Pavilion happened to be the same as that calculated by Xie Changyun. If it wasn’t a coincidence, then there must be something weird about Dongshan Pavilion.

According to legend, there was no unique scenery on Dongshan at the beginning. There was only a long pavilion because there was an autographed inscription left by Su Gong, a great talent who was once the number one scholar in high school, so it was loved by some young people who love poetry and books in the city. Dongshan Pavilion Also known as Sugong Pavilion.

Going up the stone steps, Xie Changyun and Jing Zhao soon saw the rumored Su Gong Pavilion. It was indeed nothing special, it was just an octagonal pavilion, and the characters inscribed by Su Gong were on the pillars of the pavilion, and the handwriting had faded due to weathering. Somewhat indistinct.

Jing Zhao is a monster, and is very sensitive to monster aura, but she doesn’t feel any monster aura here, on the contrary, there is a little spiritual energy, and the fragrance of grass and trees makes people feel refreshed.

Could it really be a coincidence.

Because of the good weather, Jing Zhao and the others were not the only people who went up the East Mountain. People in Xiling City seemed to have a special liking for this mountain, and many people went up the mountain one after another.

July is the season when mountain flowers are in full bloom. I heard that there are tea gardens on the top of Dongshan Mountain, so there are many tea pickers among the people who go up the mountain. In addition, they are young ladies from rich and noble families. Most of them go together. laugh.

A woman in Tsing Yi accidentally left a wooden sign tied with red silk thread when she passed by Jing Zhao. Jing Zhao subconsciously picked it up and handed it to the other party. up the hill.

As soon as Jing Zhao turned around, he heard Xie Changyun say, “There is a demon spirit.”

Jing Zhao: “That person is a demon? Why didn’t I find out.”

“It’s not her.” Xie Changyun glanced down at her, then looked at a red-clothed woman who had just come down from the mountain with a bamboo basket in her hand and said, “It’s her.”

After a while, Jing Zhao returned to Xie Changyun’s side, took out something and said to him, “Her bamboo basket contains Sophora japonica flowers. Do you smell a monster? Why do I think it smells so fragrant?”

Xie Changyun didn’t go close to sniff it, and confirmed with just one glance: “This is the branch of that monster.”

Then he looked at Jing Zhao, who was sniffing the Sophora japonica flower in his hand, and explained in a warm voice, “This monster’s evil spirit is covered by spiritual energy, and it is also the same source of vegetation as you, so it’s normal for you to feel close even if you can’t smell it .”

“A demon with aura?” Jing Zhao blinked, feeling a little strange.

Seeing that she didn’t understand, Xie Changyun took her hand and continued walking up Dongshan, explaining to her as he walked.

In fact, it is not uncommon to see monsters with spiritual energy. For example, when a cypress tree in a Buddhist temple becomes a spirit, its body will be contaminated with spiritual energy, but it is still a monster itself.

Another example is Jing Zhao herself, who is actually a flower demon, but because Xie Changyun practiced Taoist magic, cleansing the spirit and cutting down the body, and Jing Zhao and her practiced together, the evil spirit on her body would gradually fade away, making it difficult for ordinary Taoist priests to recognize her true identity.

In ancient times, there was a saying about demons and immortals, and it was accumulated from this, and finally purified one’s own demon energy to channel spirits and achieve immortality.

Unexpectedly, double cultivation with Xie Changyun would have such benefits, Jing Zhao couldn’t help but shook his arm, and said with a smile, “Shuangxiu is so good, wouldn’t it be better to have more.”

Xie Changyun glanced at her, and said in a low voice, “Don’t be greedy for too much, the right way is to be stable.”

Jing Zhao snorted softly, thinking that Daoist Xie was always justified by doing one thing during the day and another at night.
