Lu Zheng blinked, looking confused.
Sisters Liu Qingyan looked at Ruiyi together, slightly nervous.
Only Shen Ying reacted the fastest. She reached out to hold Lu Zheng and smiled, "I just said that the Taoist priest just looked at Qingquan several times. It turned out that he saw Qingquan's true body and suspected that we are related to the ghost spirit here." .”
Liu Qingyan asked curiously, "Taoist Master has long seen the ghost energy here? That's very powerful. Please note that I didn't even notice it. It wasn't until the ghost energy became stronger just now that I felt it."
Ruiyi:? ? ?
Although he was praising himself, something felt wrong.
Rui Yi narrowed her eyes and asked in a deep voice, "So you are really the Tushan Nine-tailed Fox?"
Lu Zheng smiled slightly, "So what?"
Rui Yi frowned and was about to speak when she saw Lu Zheng turning to look at the door again.
"Amitabha!"
The sound of the Buddha's name was heard, and two monks in gray cloth robes walked in slowly, an old monk and a young monk.
"Zen Master Chi Huan?"
"Friend Lu Dao?"
The old monk headed by him was Zen Master Chihuan of Fawang Temple in Huoshan Road, who had a close relationship with Lu Zheng.
"Uncle Chi Huan? Junior Brother Pujing?"
"Rui Yi? Are you there too?" Zen Master Chi Huan saw Rui Yi, and with a thought, he felt a little surprised, "Are you alone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Zheng again, and then said clearly, "Sure enough, the Xuanmen in the world are one family. Since Fellow Daoist Lu is here, it will be fine."
"Huh?" Rui Yi was a little confused for a moment, "Uncle Master, do you know Mr. Lu?"
Zen Master Chi Huan was also stunned, "You don't know Mr. Lu?"
Ruiyi:? ? ?
Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, but he smiled and said, "So Taoist Master Ruiyi is a disciple of Taoist Fellow Miaoyi?"
It is said that the only Taoist he knew in Huoshan Road was Miaoyizhenren from Yuanshan Temple, and Zen Master Chihuan happened to be there at the time.
"It's Miaoyi's precious disciple." Zen Master Chi Huan said with a smile.
Liu Qingyan also knew Zen Master Chi Huan, so she stood up and moved her seat, "Master, please sit down!"
"Amitabha, thank you Miss Liu."
Zen Master Chi Huan thanked him and sat down with the young monk named Pujing. Shen Ying was waiting for the waiter to go to the vegetarian restaurant when she saw the two monks picking up the mutton buns and eating them without any courtesy.
Lu Zheng first met with Zen Master Chi Huan and then turned to Taoist Master Rui Yi and bowed his head as a courtesy, "Baiyun Temple Lu Zheng, I have met Taoist Master."
"Baiyung Temple?" Rui Yi was surprised, "Are you a disciple of Baiyung Temple?"
"It's guaranteed to be replaced if it's fake." Lu Zheng smiled.
"Then she..." Ruiyi turned to sister Liu Qingyan.
"She is the Tushan Nine-tailed Fox, and she is also Lu's wife." Lu Zheng nodded and took Liu Qingyan's hand. Seeing that Rui Yi was still a little confused, he added, "Lu is the outer gate of Baiyun Temple. Layman."
Rui Yi blinked, then couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, bowing his head in return, "Yuanshan Guan Rui Yi, I have met Taoist brother!"
…
Everyone finally knew each other's identities and met each other.
Unexpectedly, a small town in the mountains would actually gather masters from Huoshan Taoism, Buddhism and Taoism, so Lu Zheng was curious and asked Zen Master Chi Huan, "Master, are you here because of the ghost energy here?"
Zen Master Chi Huan shook his head and said, "The poor monk was taking his apprentice to practice. When he passed by this place, he saw the ghost spirit rising in the town, so he entered the town to take a look."
】
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Rui Yi again, "Brother Taoist seems to have known that there is something strange in this town for a long time?"
Rui Yi nodded, "I passed by this place half a month ago and discovered the ghost energy here. I have been exploring the surrounding area every day, but I have not found the source of the ghost energy."
Speaking of this, Rui Yi said a little embarrassedly, "I happened to see a few people today and discovered the identity of this little girl. I had doubts for a moment, but I was offended."
"It's okay, it's understandable that Huoshan Road is located on the border." Liu Qingyan waved her hands and smiled, but she remembered the attitude of Master Miaoyi and Zen Master Chi Huan when they faced Yue Yifeng at the beginning of the year.
Located on the border, both Dajing and Beiyu are a little sensitive. On the contrary, after going deeper, they know that the other party can't do anything, but they will let down their guard.
"You haven't found the source of ghost energy for half a month?" Monk Pujing asked curiously, "Has anyone been killed in the town?"
Rui Yi shook her head and said, "The ghost energy is just eroding the spirit of the people every night. No one has been killed, but if this trend continues, I am afraid that one night, the entire town will die. Become a ghost."
"Hiss—" Everyone inhaled in unison.
Zen Master Chi Huan looked back at the innkeeper and waiter in the distance. They could only see the conversation on their side, but could not hear what everyone else was saying. However, Lu Zheng had set up a sound barrier early in the morning.
"What a vicious ghost. There are thousands of people in this town!" Pu Jing was startled.
"That's right. I thought I couldn't find him anymore, so I went back to the mountain gate to find Master for help." Ruiyi said.
"Senior brother, you have been searching alone. Aren't you worried that you can't defeat this ghost?" Pu Jing asked in surprise.
Rui Yi's eyes flashed, she reached out and patted the broad sword on the table, and said calmly, "How do you know if you haven't fought before?"
Lu Zheng gave a thumbs up, "Brother Dao is mighty!"
"I see." Zen Master Chi Huan nodded and understood what happened. "In that case, let's see what this ghost is capable of tonight."
At this point, several people looked at each other, their eyes a little solemn, because they could sense that the ghost energy around them was getting stronger and stronger.
The innkeeper yawned. Seeing that everyone had finished their meals, he suppressed his exhaustion and took the waiter to clean the table. Then he said hello to everyone and went back upstairs to rest.
The sky outside the window was completely dark, and even Liu Qingquan felt a hint of coldness. The gloomy ghostly aura came out of hiding at night, and even Monk Pujing and Liu Qingquan felt it.
Liu Qingyan pulled Liu Qingquan and asked her to lean against her, protecting her secretly.
Lu Zheng, Zen Master Chi Huan, Shen Ying, and Rui Yi used their spiritual thoughts to sense the ghost energy and investigate the source of the ghost energy that permeated the entire town.
Then……
Actually found nothing!
This ghostly aura did not specifically target the four of them, but the four of them were completely unable to figure out where the ghostly aura came from. It was as if it suddenly appeared out of thin air as night fell.
"Array?" Pujing looked at his master
Zen Master Chi Huan shook his head, "There is no trace of the formation's curse seal."
"Magic weapon?" Liu Qingyan looked at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng nodded, "It's possible."
"Is it really because of the terrain?" Shen Ying couldn't feel any traces of man-made changes, and pointed to the ground at his feet, "Maybe there is a place underground that is inadvertently connected to the netherworld, and the ghost energy of the netherworld penetrates it. Nothing happens during the day, but everything happens at night. The yin energy is getting heavier, and the ghost energy appears?"
The next moment, Rui Yi was just a little bit between his eyebrows, and a faint golden light flashed past, and then he frowned and looked at the underground location pointed by Shen Ying.
