Chapter 383 The Disappearing Person

Being among the familiar Pangshan Taoist priests, Xin Youtao's spirit recovered quickly and he volunteered to take everyone to Longbinhui. "Huangjing will not stop until ten days and a half. Why don't we go check it out today?" clear.

It was at this moment that Xiao Qingtao spoke for the first time, "Do you really believe what Qu Xungui said, do you think there is a secret behind the disappearance of Yelin Town?"

Xin Youtao immediately smiled, "I personally believe that this was a trick before Qu Xungui's death. He wanted to use one sentence to create a rift between Pangshan Taoist Priest and Long Binhui. But even if it is a trick, we have to find out. Otherwise -" Xin Youtao glanced at Shen Hao and said, "He must have gone crazy."

"I..." Shen Hao said loudly, took a deep breath, and lowered his voice, "I will not go crazy. But now is the best time to investigate the truth. Longbin Society is in chaos, Princess Xijie has just come to power, and Xin Youtao is the princess's wife." Brother, he is also the ink envoy, so it should be easy for him to investigate this matter."

"Easy, there's just one thing. I don't know how much Long Binhui has left."

Mu Xingqiu, Shen Hao, Xin Youtao, Yang Qingyin, Xiao Qingtao, and a group of five people came to the Fulu Pagoda area at dusk. What they saw was a large area of ​​ruins. All fifteen towers of different sizes were destroyed, leaving only The ground was covered with masonry and rubble, not even the base was left. The fire of talismans is not very powerful in the eyes of Taoist priests, but it is very good at destroying their own buildings.

Many houses near the Fu Lu Pagoda were also affected, and almost no houses were intact. A large group of soldiers and Fu Lu divisions were clearing the ruins. All the injured were taken away and the bodies were burned on the spot. The entire area is strictly prohibited for outsiders to enter. Under the leadership of Xin Youtao, the Pangshan Taoist priests can travel unimpeded.

"So many people died, and some of them were not Talisman Masters at all." Xiao Qingtao frowned, the tragic scene made her feel very uncomfortable.

"There is no way, the power of the Qu family is intricate. It is useless to arrest him alone. Instead, it will arouse more resistance, and more people will die." Xin Youtao defended the coup launched by his sister. In fact, he had just woken up and had not yet had time to understand many things.

Near the ruins of the first tower. Xin Youtao stopped, "Most of the secret records of the Long Bin Society are stored here. I hope they are not damaged."

A large group of Talisman Masters were searching carefully in the ruins, not letting go of any scrap of paper. Even Xin Youtao couldn't walk in casually. He asked a Talisman Master in charge of guarding: "Have you found the Thousand Layer Talisman?"

"No. The Talisman Master glanced at the Taoist priests quickly, "This is already the second search. Everything is here. Nothing less. "

Several boxes were placed on the roadside, containing pieces of paper, wood, ink blocks, copper and iron, etc.

"The Thousand Layer Talisman is a kind of paper talisman.

It can record a large amount of text, and all the secrets of Long Binhui can be found in it. I have seen it once, and there are at least a hundred pieces of it. "Xin Youtao explained, reaching out and fidgeting in the cardboard box twice, "How come there isn't one? It shouldn't be, the Thousand Layer Talisman can resist fire and water. Blow away? Then there won’t be any left..."

"Strange, did Qu Xungui destroy all the secrets of Long Binhui before he died?" Shen Hao even used his third eye to scan the ruins. There are no more clues than the talisman masters.

"Qu Xungui is just Zuo Fu and does not have this power." Xin Youtao wanted to do something for Mu Xingqiu and Shen Hao, and thought for a while. "Let's go, I'll take you to see the Chief Talisman Master. There are no secrets in Long Bin Club that he doesn't understand. I just don't know if he can speak out now."

Guan Chengyu, the chief talisman master of Longbinhui, has been seriously ill for a long time. This was before Xin Youtao's soul was changed.

Among the people, only Mu Xingqiu knew the real secret of Long Binhui. It was useless to look for Guan Chengxu. The soul trapped in his decaying body at the moment did not know which unlucky person it belonged to.

"Guan Chengyu can't speak. It's better to go to Liang Shiji. He is one of the great talisman masters. If he is qualified to succeed as chief, he should also be qualified to know the secrets of Long Binhui." Mu Xingqiu suggested.

"It makes sense. Let me think about it." Xin Youtao tapped his right temple gently, "I remember, Liang Shiji's residence is not far from here. He was originally a Qu Party member, but he was also secretly loyal to Emperor Fu. I guess he is now You should stay at home and wait and see what happens.”

"Hey, this Liang Shiji still owes Mu Xingqiu a favor for saving his life." Yang Qingyin said.

Xin Youtao was very surprised, and Xiao Qingtao told him about the process of combining weapons to discuss Tao.

"Oh my God! Shen Geng was finally sent to the Devil's Cave, and Liang Shiji was so bold! It seems that he may not be able to inherit the position of chief... Sigh, how many things have I missed these days."

Xin Youtao's exclamations became more exaggerated, Xiao Qingtao's explanation became more detailed, and the bad blood between the two finally disappeared.

Liang Shiji's home is located in Beicheng. The streets are not wide and there are high walls and deep courtyards on both sides. Every house is closed and no one comes out for a whole day. Xin Youtao knocked for a long time before a servant of the Liang family opened the door and saw Xin Youtao wearing a seven-layer crown on his head. , immediately came out and saluted.

Xin Youtao guessed wrong. Liang Shiji went out at noon instead of staying at home and watching what happened.

"Master didn't say where he was going. He went alone..." The servant's eyes flickered and he deliberately avoided the Taoist priests.

Mu Xingqiu had never been in a hurry. Before finding all seven soul changers, there was no way for any one of them to reveal the truth. But at this moment, he suddenly realized that he might have made an important mistake: Talisman masters can gain long lives by exchanging souls. Safety is the most important to them. They do not necessarily have to hold important power in every generation. They can wait.

"Oops." Mu Xingqiu whispered, without hesitation, and immediately cast an illusion on the servant of Liang Mansion.

Mu Xingqiu left the servant's mind. The servant didn't know that he was affected by the spell. He still smiled at the seven-crown talisman master with a flattering face, and didn't understand the meaning of the words his master said before leaving.

Shen Hao and others felt Mu Xingqiu's spell just now, and they all felt a little strange. They didn't understand why he cast an illusion on an ordinary servant. Xin Youtao said: "I guess Liang Shiji is worried. He is probably going to see the chief. Let's..."

"He is more likely to go to see the emperor's grandson Fu Meng." Mu Xingqiu felt that Liang Shiji's words were meant for him.

"Fu Meng? My sister's... What does Liang Shiji want to see him for?"

"Where can I find Fu Meng?" Mu Xingqiu's expression became serious.

"Fu Meng is the grandson of the emperor. In order to marry my sister, he specially built a mansion... It's in the northwest corner of the imperial city..."

Mu Xingqiu flew up on his sword, "Shen Hao, come with me. The three of you go to see the princess immediately and stay with her."

Shen Hao and others immediately rose into the air. Without asking anything more, Xin Youtao was a little panicked, "What's going on? My sister..." Before he could finish, Mu Xingqiu and Shen Hao had already flown away.

The servants of the Liang Mansion had seen some of the world and recognized these people as Taoists, but they were still shocked to see them flying around the imperial capital. They stood at the door for a while. They turned around and went back to the mansion and closed the door.

"We don't deal with low-level Taoists." Mu Xingqiu chewed on Liang Shiji's words again and again, worried that everything was too late, and the seven soul changers of the Longbin Society might have changed their forms and disappeared without a trace. Along the way, he was reflecting on why he was not in a hurry before, because Fu Meng had tried to win him over that day and treated him as a high-level Taoist priest, which made him misjudge that the soul-changers accepted his knowledge.

Mu Xingqiu, who was good at mind illusion, was deceived by a talisman master who had no more special features except soul-changing.

The two flew very fast and arrived at the Huangsun Mansion in less than half an hour. Passing over the palace in the middle, this is a crime of treason in normal times, and even the powerful talisman master would not dare to do so. But today no one came out to stop it.

The Huangsun Mansion, which will welcome the bride in a few days, is decorated with lights and colors, which is quite eye-catching in the early night. What also attracts attention is the continuous screams in the mansion.

"Murder! Murder!" A voice that cannot be distinguished between men and women shouted loudly. Most people in the mansion have not reacted yet. It is obvious that the incident has just happened. Mu Xingqiu and Shen Hao followed the sound and landed in a side yard, just in time to stop a middle-aged man who was crawling out.

This was a eunuch, who bumped into Shen Hao in a panic and bounced back. He sat on the ground, his eyes swept across the faces of the two strange Taoist priests. He was still muttering: "Murder, murder..."

Mu Xingqiu quickly grabbed the memory from the eunuch's mind, and flew away from the Huangsun Mansion with Shen Hao before more people arrived.

In a hurry just now, Mu Xingqiu forgot to ask Princess Xin Youtao where she lived at the moment, so he could only fly back to Pangshan Taoist Hall first.

"What happened?" Shen Hao asked as soon as he landed.

"I was fooled." Mu Xingqiu briefly told the story of the seven soul changers of Longbin Society.

Shen Hao was shocked, "Liang Shiji is also a soul changer, why did he kill Huangsun?"

"Liang Shiji committed suicide, and their souls have long been transferred to safe bodies. In this way, I can't find their traces. It's all my fault for being too credulous." Mu Xingqiu saw the situation at that time from the eunuch's mind, and the two bodies were lying in a pool of blood.

"I don't blame you. No one could have expected such a thing."

"I couldn't have expected it, but someone could." Mu Xingqiu walked to the door of Shen Jixian's room, "You don't have to follow me. I'm enough alone. I'm not a Taoist priest from Pangshan now..."

Shen Hao is still a Taoist priest from Pangshan. Mu Xingqiu didn't want him to be disrespectful in front of the head of the Five Elements Department.

"This is the matter of Yelin Town. You can't just be the one to take the lead." Shen Hao pushed the door open and walked in without even knocking.

Mu Xingqiu guessed that the self-destruction of the soul-changers of the Longbin Society had nothing to do with Yelin Town. They did this just to ensure their future safety. Just like Liang Shiji said, they don't deal with low-level Taoist priests.

Shen Jixian's room was as bright as ever, and the night outside couldn't see through at all.

Shen Hao's courage disappeared, and he gave the formal Taoist etiquette to the head who closed his eyes to rest, without speaking.

Mu Xingqiu walked up and stood shoulder to shoulder with Shen Hao, without speaking either.

Shen Jixian slowly opened his eyes, without any surprise on his face, "They agreed, you can break away from the Taoist tradition and establish a Taoist army."

On the same day, Mu Xingqiu lost the trace of "us" of the Longbin Society and got the consent of "them" of the Taoist tradition.
