Chapter 164 The Land of Hiding

The sky had gradually turned dark, and it was unrealistic for Huang Xingye and the others to go down the mountain at this time.

Taoist Qingsong cooks again, using the ingredients Qi Wen bought and some things brought by Huang Xingye as raw materials, to make a dinner that is enough for everyone to eat together.

Maybe it was because he found Daoist Qingsong, Huang Xingye had an unprecedented sense of security in this cloud mountain view, especially after talking in the afternoon, he felt a little more comfortable.

Huang Xingye, who hadn't tasted anything in recent days, ate a lot that night, and even had a few drinks.

As for the accommodation problem, it is easy to solve. Ji Yuan directly gave up his own room, and it is enough to sleep six people with straw bedding.

And Ji Yuan naturally ran to the two Taoist houses to share the bed with them.

When everyone fell asleep, Qi Wen in the room had already fallen asleep and breathed evenly, Taoist Qingsong, who was the most disturbed among all the people, finally couldn't hold back and began to ask Ji Yuan in a low voice.

"Mr. Ji, I know you haven't fallen asleep. You must have thought of a countermeasure to help Huang Xingye, right?"

Of course Ji Yuan didn't sleep, and he also knew that Taoist Qingsong would not be able to sleep, so when he heard Qi Xuan's slightly uneasy question, he also joked.

"Of course there is a countermeasure. The countermeasure is that Taoist Qingsong will go down the mountain with Huang Xingye. If there is any change, he can help him slay demons."

Taoist Qingsong was heartbroken when he heard this.

"Oh...Mr. Ji, you know how many catties and taels I have. I can do fortune-telling for others, and I can kill demons and eliminate demons...I haven't even seen a ghost. Isn't this a little bit more difficult? I can only complete my lifespan. , what if you die after such a tossing..."

Ji Yuan didn't want to scare him anymore, he asked Taoist Qingsong to agree, so he naturally had his own plans.

"Hehehe... Daoist Qingsong will definitely follow Huang Xingye down the mountain, but he may not be the real Daoist Qingsong."

After saying this inscrutablely, Ji Yuan's magic power circulated slightly, and some changes began to take place on his body, the nose became wider and collapsed a little, the corners of the eyebrows became longer and the angles changed a little, the wrinkles on the forehead and the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes , and even the skin color muscles and moles on the face are changing.

After two breaths, the two faces of Taoist Qingsong faced each other.

Tonight, the starry sky is bright and the moon hangs high. When there is starlight penetrating through the windows, the human eyes can still guarantee a certain degree of visibility after they get used to it.

At this moment Taoist Qingsong widened his eyes, held his breath and was speechless.

I haven't learned the real deformation, but actually the deformation in Laolong's jade slips is also very "anti-human", and I have to study hard and find a way to modify it before I can learn it.

In essence, this kind of deformation is incomparable with Monkey King's seventy-two transformations, and there is a shadow of deception in it. It is still possible to learn from it at present.

In addition, Ji Yuan and Taoist Qingsong are about the same size, and he uses his superb deception to achieve a kind of "face-changing".

His own mana characteristics are quite miraculous, there is almost no fluctuation when infrequently invoked, and a little "transformation" technique is used for reference, which makes "face changing" extremely difficult to see through, and then he puts on a Taoist robe of Qingsong Taoist and changes his hairstyle.

At that time, only Qi Wen, who gets along with Daoist Qingsong day and night, will be able to see the problem, and other people will not be able to see the problem. Huang Xingye, people outside, and even ordinary ghosts and gods may not be able to.

Strictly speaking, the transformation at this moment is similar to the combination of magic technique and Jianghu disguise makeup, but the traces of both are extremely faint.

In the early morning of the second day, regardless of Qi Wen's expression of seeing a ghost at the beginning, it was the two Daoist Qi in the Taoist temple who sent the guests down the mountain, and finally Daoist Qingsong left the mountain with Huang Xingye and others.

As for yesterday's Mr. Ji, it is said that he caught the cold and didn't get up.

In Yunshan Temple, Daoist Qingsong who was hiding in the house waited for everyone to go down the mountain, and it took a long time before Qi Wen came back.

"Master, I'm back!"

Qi Wen ran back excitedly, and when he entered the room, he saw Qi Xuan who was drinking tea with a sigh of relief.

"Master, why does Mr. Ji's face look like yours? Is this the disguise technique of a Jianghu master? Can you teach me too?"

Taoist Qingsong gently gave Qi Wen a brainstorm.

"What is the disguise technique? It's an immortal technique. How many times have I told you that Mr. Ji is an immortal."

Qi Wen subconsciously rubbed his forehead and muttered.

"Mr. Ji himself said that he is not..."

. . .

Once outside the range of Yunshan Mountain, the road is easy to walk, or in other words, there is a road under the feet, at least it is smooth.

Huang Xingye and the others kept a carriage in Yunkou Village, so they didn't need to go up the mountain yesterday, so naturally they don't need to walk with their feet when they go back today.

There were two carriages in total, one with a shed and the other a cart. Instead of going back to Dongle County, they went directly to Maoqian Town.

On the carriage, Huang Xingye began to feel uneasy again.

"Daoist Qingsong, isn't it better for us to go to the Town God's Temple first?"

"No, since you have sacrificed to the City God, the City God of Dongle County must also know about it at this time. Maybe they have sent ghosts and gods to inspect the Earth Temple in Maoqian Town."

When Ji Yuan was speaking, he kept looking outside through the curtain of the carriage, but he didn't see anything unusual.

"But Daoist Qingsong, wouldn't it be safer if we hid in the county town? My wife's natal family is in the city, and the children are staying with her in the city temporarily..."

"Boss Huang did the right thing, but he can hide from the first day of the new year but not the fifteenth day. This matter still needs to be faced. When ghosts and gods are still lax, ordinary people are even more so. Even if they stay in Dongle County all the time, they will not be safe. It’s good to settle the matter completely.”

"Hey, the Taoist priest is right!"

After saying these few words, Ji Yuan just closed his eyes and rested his mind, acting as if he didn't want to say any more, even if Huang Xingye was nervous, he had no choice but to talk softly to Li Mian beside him.

Around noon, the chariot and horse arrived outside Maoqian Town, and the servant driving the chariot reminded the occupants.

"Sir, we're almost home."

Before Huang Xingye could speak, he saw Daoist Qingsong sitting across from him opened his eyes.

"Let's go, let's go to the Earth Temple first."

"Hey! Ah Fu, drive to the Earth Temple!"

"Good sir!"

The servant replied and adjusted the direction of the carriage. After a while, the carriage and horses stopped outside the Earth Temple. Ji Yuan, Huang Xingye and others got out of the carriage one by one. People walked past.

The Earth Temple is located on the south side of Maoqian Town. Apart from the master craftsman the Huang family found and the old man in the town who thought he was preparing for the construction of the temple, there were no other villagers watching.

A dozen or so steps outside the temple, Ji Yuan stopped first, and whispered to Huang Xingye and Li Mian.

"There will be a parade in front of the temple, so don't say unnecessary words."

"Day cruise?"

Huang Xingye said cautiously.

"It's the so-called Day Tourist God, who should have been sent by the City God of Dongle County."

"Oh oh oh! Got it, got it!"

Huang Xingye was determined, while Li Mian next to him was full of doubts. He looked at the other side of the temple, but couldn't see anything special.

The three of them came to the Earth Temple together, and the craftsman and the old man in charge of the temple rushed to greet Huang Xingye, which naturally attracted the attention of the two-day parade, and they looked at Huang Xingye together.

"This person is Huang Xingye."

"That's right, that's exactly what happened when he went to the Town God's Temple to sacrifice and report here."

"Then who is this Taoist?" "It seems to be Taoist Qingsong from Yunshan Temple, the one who often sets up a stall in front of the temple."

The two of them watched Huang Xingye carefully beside Huang Xingye during the conversation. Even if Ji Yuan saw him, he didn't remind Huang Xingye to save him from making a fuss.

Carefully observing the god statues in the temple, Ji Yuan found that the god statues had many features that were not human-like. Currently, the incense was very weak, and the remaining divine aura of the god statues was not strong. It was obvious that he had not been to the Earth Temple in the past two days.

Look at the arm of the god statue in the corner. The master craftsman is filling up the soil to support it, but it has not yet been attached to the statue, and there is no evil spirit remaining on it, more like it was knocked off artificially.

‘Is it just a man-made disaster? '

After watching it for a while, Ji Yuan, Huang Xingye and others went back to the Huangfu in the town, and the two day tourers also followed.

Huang's Mansion is naturally not as good as Wang's Mansion and Chu Mansion in Gyeonggi Province, but it is definitely considered a high-end mansion in Dongle County.

Because of the arrival of Taoist Qingsong, Huang Xingye prepared to treat him with good wine and food.

However, before lunch, Ji Yuan asked the servants of the Huang family to prepare two small wooden plaques, and ordered some food and wine to be delivered to the guest house prepared by the Huang family. disturb.

Huang Xingye had no choice but to go to eat with Li Mian and the rest of the family by themselves.

In the guest house, Ji Yuan wrote "Dongle County Daily Patrol Envoy" and "Dongle County Daily Patrol Envoy" on two wooden plaques.

Then put three sticks of sandalwood on a large bowl filled with uncooked rice grains and light it.

After a while, the two day tour gods were drawn over, and they understood what was going on after seeing the situation.

"Taoist Qingsong, so you can see us?"

Seeing one of the Japanese inspectors asking questions, Ji Yuan gave them his hand.

"There were too many mortals before, and I knew the rules of the Yin Division, so I didn't have any contact with the two envoys. I hope you will forgive me."

The two Japanese patrolmen looked the Taoist up and down before speaking.

"Well, I don't blame you, this table is full of food and wine."

"I'm going to invite the two of you to enjoy it together!"

"Hey, wonderful, wonderful!"

The two daily patrols also showed smiles. In the Town God's Temple in a small county, the daily patrols and night patrols actually do not have body sculpting, and it is difficult for them to take their turn for daily offerings. There are few rich food and wine to enjoy.

While eating, Ji Yuan said to the two patrols that ghosts and spirits did not conflict with his food, but some dishes seemed untouched after eating.

During the conversation, I learned that in the past two days, patrols have come to Maoqian Town to check day and night, but mainly to find the land owner. It seems that the land owner is hiding, and even the people in the underworld cannot find him.

"Is there such a thing?"

Ji Yuan was also surprised when he heard this, did the Earth Lord hide himself?

"It's absolutely true, because of this strange thing, although the Yin Division has never found any traces of evil spirits, they have been sending people here."

The food and drink for this meeting has been eaten up, Ji Yuan frowned and thought for a while before he spoke to the two of them.

"The two Japanese patrols, Pindao thinks this is not an easy matter, and I hope that you two will go back and report to Lord Chenghuang now, saying that Huang Xingye has a special personality, and he seems to have some evil thing plotting something, Wang Yin Division Send more people to investigate."

The two patrolmen looked at each other.

"I'll go back and report it later, and wait for Lord Chenghuang to make a decision."

"Excuse me, both of you!"

Ji Yuan bid farewell to the two Japanese scouts and left. After waiting for a while, his eyes flashed, and he raised his foot and stepped lightly in the guest house.

The ground rippled and arced like water waves.

"I invite the Land God of Maoqian Town to meet you!"

As long as you are connected to this land vein and want to be the existence of the land god, you will never be able to hide from the "detaining god".

A puff of blue smoke swirled up from the ground in the room, and a "person" with a stooped figure and a loess-colored robe appeared in front of Ji Yuan, with a face full of yellow hair but human features.

As soon as he saw Ji Yuan, the land god hurriedly bowed and bowed.

"The land of Maoqian Town pays homage to the Shangxian, pays homage to the Shangxian! The Shangxian is a master of Taoism, it's good if you come, it's good if you come! You must be the master of the little god!"

The appearance of this land is so similar to that of Huang Xingye who went up the mountain to ask for help yesterday, making Ji Yuan frown again.

"Lord of the Land, please sit down and talk, why did the Yin Division not show up when looking for you?"

The land god seemed to know the magic of "holding the gods", so he was confident at the moment, but he insisted on standing still.

"If you go back to Shangxian, this Huang Xingye has provoked something powerful, and the city god of Dongle County may not be able to suppress it. I helped the Huang family without knowing it before. If you hadn't come to this meeting, how dare I show up!"
