The old Taoist Ghost first looked Song Jiang up and down and said, "You can leave your soul freely? Could it be that you are also a member of the Taoist sect?!"
When Song Jiang heard this, he waved his hands and said, "No, no, no... my eldest brother is very powerful. He is currently fighting the black energy that captured you last time, so we can talk face to face."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the old Taoist Ghost said with a pity on his face, "I saw that your bones are so beautiful, you must be a rare Taoist body. It's a pity that your fate with me is too shallow. If you could have given birth to a child of more than 200 years ago, Years ago, Pindao will definitely accept you as his disciple, so that Yu Zhen Guan won’t even have a successor.”
After hearing this, Song Jiang couldn't help complaining in his heart, "I didn't expect that this old ghost who has been dead for more than two hundred years would actually follow this routine, and he still has a strange skeleton? It seems that the word "talking nonsense" is not for nothing... …”
Seeing that Song Jiang had no reaction to this, Gui Laodao coughed slightly in embarrassment and said, "Being able to see my little friend here proves that the two of us are indeed destined... Well, why don't you and Pindao become brothers of the opposite sex? I don’t want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day..."
Song Jiang didn't expect that this ghostly old Taoist was actually a big talker, so he quickly said, "Stop it, stop it! Who died in the same year, month and day as you?!"
When the ghost old man heard this, he chuckled and said, "Isn't this just a quick talk? It's okay if you don't make a sworn sworn brother. You can also pass on a set of health-preserving ideas to your little friend. Although he won't live a hundred years, he can still extend his life a lot." Effective.”
Song Jiang said speechlessly, "You really don't need to get close to me here. Since I'm here today, I will definitely find a way to help you... But you must first tell me what is going on, that black gas Is it really the ancient ferocious beast Fei?"
When Song Jiang heard about Fei, Gui Laodao's expression changed and he said, "Young fellow, do you also know about this ferocious beast?"
Song Jiang nodded and said, "Old man, please tell me what's going on, so that my brother and I can find ways to help you!"
After Gui Laodao pondered for a moment, he sighed, "The poor Taoist Qingxuzi was the host of Yuzhen Temple on the opposite side of Mantou Mountain two hundred years ago. Although Yuzhen Temple is small in scale, it has shouldered an important mission for generations. The mission is to guard the ancient ferocious beast that was trapped nearby thousands of years ago - Fei."
From Qing Xuzi's narration, Song Jiang learned about a story about suppressing the Fei beast two hundred years ago...
The ancestors of Qing Xuzi once used the terrain of Mantou Mountain to build a large formation to suppress the evil beasts here, and the Taoist priests in their Yuzhen Temple need to guard this large formation for generations. Once it is damaged, they must promptly Make repairs to prevent the beast from escaping and causing harm to the world.
But just over two hundred years ago, an earthquake completely changed the terrain around Mantou Mountain. At that time, Qing Xuzi, the 34th director of Yuqing Temple, happened to be traveling. When he got the news and rushed back, the beast had already left the country. It ran out of the formation, and the poisonous insects and plagues it carried were raging in all directions, killing many people and livestock...
Qing Xuzi saw that there was no possibility of repairing the demon-suppressing array left by his ancestors, so he had to build a new demon-suppressing array based on the new terrain. Unfortunately, Qingxuzi's skills were not as good as his ancestors, and all the demon-suppressing arrays he set up had limited power. , there is no way to suppress this ancient ferocious beast.
But if it is not subdued as soon as possible, once the ferocious beast escapes from the boundary of Mantou Mountain, it will be impossible to suppress it, so Qing Xuzi has to activate a prohibition formation of his sect to sacrifice his life. At the cost of himself, he stabbed the demon-suppressing spell created by his ancestors on his body and at the same time took the master's secret corpse-fixing pill to protect his body from decay for thousands of years.
The only purpose of doing this is to ensure that a powerful ghost is used to suppress the formation in the center of the formation, so that the full power of the demon-subduing formation can be fully activated and the beast will be trapped in the demon-subduing formation again. The location of this super demon-subduing array happened to be within the scope of the reservoir. Song Jiang had previously discovered that the location of Qingxuzi's corpse was the eye of the super demon-subduing array.
After hearing what Xuzi said, Song Jiang was a little puzzled and asked, "Since this demon-subduing formation is so powerful, why is it that after just two hundred years, the ferocious beast is showing signs of breaking the formation?"
Qing Xuzi sighed after hearing this, "The reason why Pindao wants to take the corpse-fixing pill secretly made by our sect is to ensure that the corpse covered with the demon-suppressing curse will not rot. Now for some reason, my corpse has turned into white bones. The demon-suppressing curse has Naturally, the mana will be ineffective... If we don’t come up with a solution as soon as possible, it will be a matter of time before the beast is released."
Song Jiang thought for a while and said, "Can you carve your master's demon-suppressing spell on a stone tablet, and then put it next to your bones?"
Unexpectedly, Qing Xuzi shook his head and said, "Of course not... If only a stone tablet was placed, why did Pindao sacrifice himself back then?"
"Then what better solution do you have? You can't go to your master to find someone to do the formation eye, right?!" Song Jiang said helplessly.
Qing Xuzi said with a confused look behind him, "When Pindao died in battle, there was only one Huangkou Taoist in our sect. The Taoist knowledge of our sect has probably been lost long ago. Where can we find someone like Pindao?" What about sacrificing one's life for justice? For now, the only way is to pierce our demon-suppressing spell on a piece of fresh human skin, and then cover my bones with the human skin, in order to re-consolidate the demon-suppressing formation."
Song Jiang thought he heard wrongly at first. He asked with a look of horror, "What the hell?!"
Qing Xuzi changed his previous attitude and said seriously, "Human skin..."
"Are you crazy? Where can I find a fresh human skin for you?!" Song Jiang said in disbelief.
But Qing Xuzi said in a deep voice, "For the sake of justice, someone must choose to sacrifice..."
"It's indeed great that you sacrifice yourself for the sake of justice, but it has to be voluntary, right? Where do you want me to find a hero who voluntarily gives up his human skin?! Don't expect me to give up my own skin Here you go!" Song Jiang said with a vigilant look.
"I know this is indeed difficult... but if one person's life is exchanged for the lives of millions of people, I should know very well what is more and what is less." Qing Xuzi said with a determined expression.
But Song Jiang really couldn't do the thing of skinning people, not even others, let alone his own, so he thought about it and had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, "Is something stale okay?"
Unexpectedly, Qing Xuzi refused, "No, the skin must be peeled off while the person is still alive..."
When Song Jiang heard this, he felt that Qing Xuzi in front of him was simply unreasonable, so he shook his head and said, "I can't agree to this for the time being. I have to go back and discuss it with my elder brother."
