"Ziyang Temple..." Li Su raised his eyebrows and glanced at the Taoist Temple's plaque. He was about to walk over when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
He stared at the plaque carefully, and his eyes fell on both sides of the Taoist temple gate.
There are already cobwebs on the plaque, and there are a lot of weeds growing under the walls on both sides of the Taoist temple gate.
I lowered my head and looked around. Yellow and black fallen leaves could be seen everywhere.
"This Taoist Priest Qingxuzi is very lazy and a sloppy Taoist priest?" Li Sufu muttered. He felt as if no one had lived here for at least half a year.
I suppressed the distracting thoughts in my mind and walked over.
Arriving at the door of the Taoist temple, Li Su glanced at the cracks in the door and found that the two Taoist temple doors were only closed but not locked.
After thinking about it, he didn't push the door hastily.
"I'm in Huangchao. I've come all the way from thousands of miles away to ask for an audience with Immortal Qingxuzi." Li Su lowered his voice and announced.
He was a little worried that Taoist Master Qingxuzi might not be in the Taoist temple, but that Tang Mi was hiding in the temple... so he deliberately lowered his voice and used a false name.
After waiting for a moment, there was no response.
Li Su reported three times in succession, but still did not receive any response.
"Master, there seems to be no one in the house." The voice of the Snow Scale Snake sounded in Li Su's mind.
Li Su gently pushed open the Taoist temple door and stepped inside.
The courtyard of the Taoist temple was also covered with fallen leaves, as if no one had cleaned it for a long time.
Li Su walked through the courtyard and came to the outside of the main hall of the Taoist temple. When he raised his eyes, he was stunned.
In the deepest part of the hall, a white-haired Taoist priest wearing purple robes could be vaguely seen lying on the ground.
Staring carefully, Li Su's eyelids twitched fiercely.
"Master, he seems to have been dead for a long time and has turned into white bones." Snow Scale Snake whispered.
"I saw it." Li Suxin said, holding her breath, she walked lightly up the stairs outside the main hall, her eyes scanning the scene in the main hall.
There are side halls on the left and right sides.
At the deepest level, the portrait of the Taoist ancestor of this world is enshrined.
"Master, Tang Mi must have been here before." Snow Scale Snake whispered.
"Tang Mi..." Li Su stared at the skeleton of the white-haired Taoist priest. There was a messy white beard on the lower jaw. It could be faintly seen that he should have had an immortal Taoist appearance during his lifetime.
"Is it Taoist Qingxuzi?" Li Su was not sure. When he came here, he thought about various scenes of meeting Taoist Qingxuzi, and also thought that he might not be able to see Taoist Qingxuzi.
Dudu never thought that Taoist Master Qingxuzi might have died...
"I'll treat you as Taoist Priest Qingxuzi. For the sake of Yue Kui's great respect for you, I, the Prince Consort of Chu State, will give you a ride." Li Su whispered, then turned around and walked out of the main hall, quickly Run to the courtyard.
"Axue, look for Tang Mi's whereabouts." Li Su ordered as he ran towards the forest.
"Oh." The Snow Scale Snake responded, and with a swishing sound, it came out of Li Su's ears.
Li Su took out a wild goose feather knife from his storage bag and began to cut wood in the mountains and forests to make a coffin.
His idea was very simple. First let the Snow Scale Snake search for Tang Mi's whereabouts. He guessed that Tang Mi had some agenda when he came here.
As for making coffins for the corpses in the palace, there are three reasons:
First, he will most likely search the Taoist temple later... A reclusive master who is proficient in medical skills will probably leave some writings;
The second is to deal with the Yuekui High Priest;
The third is a piece of cake, so don’t mention it.
Li Su moved quickly.
With his current strength, when cutting down trees, he would basically cut through a flat surface.
The only thing that takes a little time is the production of the 'mortise and tenon' part.
"Master, Master, Axue has discovered Tang Mi. There is a secret passage under the Taoist temple that leads directly to the mountain. There is an underground palace there. There is a very beautiful jade statue in the underground palace..." The voice of the Snow Scale Snake rang in Li Su's mind. .
Li Su's heart moved, but she didn't make a sound or stop her movements, and continued to make the coffin.
After a while.
After Li Su made a coffin, he dug a grave pit in the courtyard of the Taoist temple.
Carrying the coffin, we came to the main hall of the Taoist temple.
"Taoist Priest, I'm offended." Li Su said, leaning over, picking up the purple-robed Taoist priest on the ground, and putting him into the coffin.
"Young man..." A vague old voice suddenly sounded next to Li Su's ears.
Li Su's scalp immediately became numb and his whole body froze. His eyes were fixed on the purple-robed Taoist priest who had fallen into the coffin.
In fact, when he chose to bury the purple-robed Taoist priest, he had also imagined that the old Taoist priest, who had become a skeleton, might not be truly dead yet, just like the grandfather in the ring in some online novels he had seen in his previous life.
When it actually happened, he felt extremely horrified.
They are all reduced to bones, can they still make a sound?
In such a situation, what normal person would not be shocked?
"Don't be afraid, Old Dao, this is just a remnant spirit that still has some consciousness and can't hurt anyone." The misty old voice sounded in Li Su's ears again.
Li Su stared at the purple-robed Taoist priest in the coffin and said hesitantly: "Are you the Taoist Priest Qingxuzi mentioned by High Priest Yuekui?"
"Lao Dao is indeed Qing Xuzi, High Priest Yuekui... Lao Dao's remnant spirit only has a little obsession and can't remember who High Priest Yuekui is." An old voice sounded in Li Su's ears.
"You are really Taoist Master Qingxuzi." Li Su breathed a long sigh of relief and said softly, "This junior is a martial artist in the body tempering realm. Due to an accidental loss of body, the path of cultivation was cut off, so I came here to seek advice from the Taoist Master."
"Tempering the body and destroying the body...you need to replenish the Yang Yuan." Qing Xuzi's voice slowly sounded, "In the hinterland of Ziyang Mountain, there is an underground palace. In the underground palace, there is Ziyang Pill refined by an experienced Taoist, which can strengthen the body and cultivate the Yuan. It should be useful to you. .”
"Then let me thank the Taoist Master first," Li Sulian said.
"Before my little friend, there was a young man who stole the jade key to the underground palace. The old man was very worried that he would destroy the underground palace and wanted to plead with me to stop him." Qing Xuzi sent a message.
"It should be Tang Mi..." Li Su asked calmly, "This junior needs to know, what is in the underground palace?"
"There is a statue." Qing Xuzi said, "Xue Ji's wonderful song suppresses Xie Ao."
"This statue is very special?" Li Su hesitated for a moment, having never heard of Xue Ji.
Qing Xuzi sent a message, "That was about two thousand years ago. When the old Taoist discovered the statue in the underground palace, he noticed something abnormal. From time to time, there was a sound similar to a heartbeat in Xie Ao's body."
"Um..." Li Su paused and asked, "What does the Taoist want to say?"
"Everything in the underground palace may have happened for real. Xue Ji's jade sculpture may have been transformed by Xue Ji herself, and the evil turtle she suppressed may be the golden-bearded evil demon turtle that once lived in real life." Qing Xuzi said in a message. "The old Taoist is aware of this, and has just chosen to live in seclusion in Ziyang Mountain. He wants to protect Xue Ji and continue to suppress Xie Ao with her."
"Is that so?" Li Su thought for a while and asked cautiously, "Does the Taoist think that the other young man who came here might do something in the underground palace?"
"In the underground palace, there are some elixirs refined by the old Taoist, as well as some works. The old Taoist is not worried that the young man will take these away." Qing Xuzi said, "I am afraid that he will be too greedy, destroy the Xue Ji jade sculpture, and then take it away to suppress the evil. Ao's Snow Crystal Sand.
If Xie Ao is released, Liangzhou will be in great trouble. "
"Snow crystal sacred sand..." Li Su secretly wrote it down and said calmly, "Is there any mechanism in the underground palace?"
"The entrance is extremely secret. The old Taoist has not set up many mechanisms in the underground palace."
"What does the Snow Crystal Divine Sand do?"
"Suppress Xie Ao."
"Hmm~...can I eat it?"
"What?"
"nothing."
