Taiyi's eyes were red, and he rushed over with a whisk, but Lonnie easily avoided it and slapped him with a palm.
Master Taiyi immediately let out a scream and fell to the ground, with a big hole already appearing in his chest.
"I didn't expect that Taiyi Temple, which I have inherited for hundreds of years, would be destroyed by a few of you traitors today. Kill or chop it into pieces, as you please!"
Although he lost the ability to resist, Master Taiyi still cocked his neck and roared with anger.
"You are already dead, why should I kill you?"
I grabbed the ghost and walked over and said calmly.
"W-what did you say?"
Master Taiyi was stunned for a moment, his eyes looking at me filled with disbelief.
"Look, is there any blood on your wound?"
I pointed at the area where he was injured just now and said in a deep voice.
Master Taiyi lowered his head and looked down, and sure enough he found that although his wounds were turned out, not a drop of blood flowed out. This was not a phenomenon that would occur on a living person at all!
"Look at your own shadow again."
I said pointing to the ground.
Master Taiyi and his two disciples looked at their own shadows, only to realize that their shadows were almost invisible.
The three of them looked at each other with a look of extreme panic on their faces.
"W-what on earth is going on?"
"Are we really dead?"
I nodded: "Yes, you have been dead a long time ago. Now you are just three ghost Taoist priests, and you were killed by this kid!"
I pointed at the little devil and said to Master Taiyi.
Master Taiyi was stunned and couldn't even speak for a while.
"Master, think about it carefully, what happened after you took Ping Yangzi in?"
"I think there must be a memory hidden in your mind, but you just don't want to recall it."
Master Taiyi was stunned for a moment and thought about it carefully. After a while, a look of panic appeared in his eyes.
"I, I remembered, it was Pingyangzi who killed us!"
"Master, I also remembered that after morning class that day, Pingyangzi brought a cup of tea. After I drank it, I didn't know anything anymore!"
One of Taiyi Zhenren's disciples said.
"Yes, I remember that the three of us drank tea at that time. Before fainting, we saw Ping Yangzi walking towards us holding a long knife. That memory seems to have disappeared!"
Another apprentice also suddenly remembered what happened before and couldn't help but said loudly.
"Strictly speaking, it was not Pingyangzi who killed you, but the little devil who possessed him."
I pointed at the little devil and said in a deep voice.
"This kid must have had a premeditated plan. He has been possessing Pingyangzi and attracted you when you passed by. The ghost you got rid of before was actually just an illusion!"
The reason why I made this judgment was based on Ping Yangzi's previous reactions and what Taiyi Zhenren said before.
Pingyangzi is not very old, but he can see the true nature of Lonnie and Bai Ze, and he himself does not know any Taoism, which is very unusual.
In the main hall, I also saw Taiyi Zhenren and his two disciples. Their figures were hollow and their shadows were dim. It was obvious that they were ghosts who had been dead for a long time.
In addition, the Qi Po Mountain area is filled with miasma and there are many evil things. Except for those freaks from the Gu Sect, there are no villages or towns nearby where normal humans live.
But Taiyi Zhenren said that Pingyangzi's village was not far away from the mountain. Obviously, the villages he had seen before were all illusions.
Based on the above doubts, I thought that all this was probably Pingyangzi's game.
He first designed to let Master Taiyi take him in and enter Taiyi Temple, and then poisoned the three masters and disciples of Master Taiyi.
Later, he used magic to make the three of them forget the fact that they were dead, and became a tool for him to use.
And the initiator of everything is the little ghost hidden in Pingyangzi's body.
After I said these words, the scene around me began to change. The candlelight in the hall suddenly went out, the statue of Lu Zu collapsed, and there were broken walls and ruins everywhere, looking desolate and dilapidated.
Where is there a hint of Taoism?
After seeing this scene, Master Taiyi finally understood everything and couldn't help but let out a long sigh with sadness on his face.
"I think of me, Master Taiyi, although I am not very capable, but I always try my best to fulfill my responsibility as the Lord of One View. However, it is unexpected that one day I will die in the hands of a brat. It is really sad!"
"Master Cheng Yuan, thank you for helping us discover the truth, otherwise we, master and disciple, would never have known how long we would have been exploited by this brat!"
I also sighed and deeply sympathized with the experiences of the three masters and disciples of Taiyi Zhenren.
Judging from the behavior of Master Taiyi, he himself is an admirable person in the Yin and Yang world, but he is too kind-hearted and fell into the kid's scheme.
"Master, you have stayed in the Yangshi for too long. If you don't leave, I'm afraid you will disappear completely. Why don't you let me send you into reincarnation?"
This is the best result for the three masters and disciples of Taiyi Zhenren. Naturally, Taiyi Zhenren did not say anything. He just stood up and bowed deeply to me.
"Thank you Lord Cheng Yuan for making it possible. When we enter the underworld, we will remember Lord Cheng Yuan's kindness."
I nodded without saying anything, and immediately began to recite the Rebirth Mantra. As I recited, the figures of Master Taiyi and his apprentice gradually faded, and after a while, they disappeared.
"Now it is your turn!"
I glanced at the kid and said coldly.
Pingyangzi himself is just an ordinary child. I don’t know where this kid kidnapped him from. Because he has been occupying his body for a long time, his ghost has long since dissipated. Thinking of an innocent child being killed, I can’t help but feel a surge of anger.
"W-what are you going to do?"
Under the suppression of the Soul Suppressing Talisman, the little devil had no power to resist. When it saw me raising the Martial King Whip, it couldn't help but show a look of fear.
"Let me tell you, I was sent by the Ghost Mother. If you dare to kill me, the Ghost Mother will not let you go!"
I was stunned for a moment: "Who is the Ghost Mother?"
The kid thought I was scared, so he said proudly: "Ms. Ghost Mother is the mother of all ghosts, and her status is revered in the underworld. How can you provoke her as a disciple?"
"Let me go quickly, and I may consider letting you go, otherwise... bang!"
Without waiting for the kid to finish speaking, I whipped him directly. The kid suddenly howled miserably, and black mist came out from his body.
"Whether it's the ghost mother or the ghost father, if it dares to harm innocent people, I will destroy it!"
King Wu's whip struck the kid mercilessly, until it howled miserably.
"Tell me where the ghost mother is!"
But the kid shook his head repeatedly: "No, if I reveal even the slightest bit of the ghost mother's secret, I will be dead!"
