Really not a villain

The pillars supporting the house had been in disrepair for a long time, but after being hit so hard by the dagger, they were suddenly crumbling.Fortunately, Mu Jiangling was brought back to his senses by Li Qingya's "Be careful", and rolled on the spot, barely dodging.

The southwest corner of the house collapsed suddenly, and Mu Jiangling was choked by the flying dust and coughed repeatedly.Li Qingya supported the door frame and stood up, wanted to go over to have a look, but his hands and feet were numb, so he could barely stand, and said in place: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, ahem... But that ghost is gone!"

"Probably ran away. What is the face of that ghost that can surprise you so much?"

Mu Jiangling pawed on the rubble a few times without giving up, and said: "I saw my master. But only the appearance is similar, and there is no aura of my master in the soul...Since he ran away, forget it. From here I can't find anything useful, so I'll take you down the mountain first."

"Wait a minute." Li Qingya stared at the pile of rubble, "I feel a familiar aura, it's right there at the enshrined Tianzun clay sculpture, go look under that pedestal, is there anything?"

"Oh, I'll look for it. There really is it." Mu Jiangling found a jade slip from under the pedestal, and subconsciously poured spiritual power into it, wanting to see the content inside, but he didn't want to be resisted, "Huh? There are restrictions? This There is nothing written on the jade slips, only the words 'for those who are destined'. Take a look."

Li Qingya took the jade slips, wiped them lightly with his sleeves, and slowly wiped the flamboyant handwriting with his fingers.

The jade slip seemed to have sensed something, emitting a soft and moist light, which made Li Qingya's fingers and face almost transparent.He pondered: "I seem to be able to open this jade slip. Whose is it...why is it so familiar..."

Mu Jiangling said: "You can open it, which means that you are the 'destined person' that the jade slip is waiting for. Let's leave here first, and study slowly."

Li Qingya nodded: "That's true."

As soon as he crossed the threshold, he staggered.Fortunately, Mu Jiangling was nearby, supported him, and asked with concern, "Can't you leave yet?"

"……cannot."

"Then I'll carry you." Mu Jiangling squatted down with his back to Li Qingya, motioning for him to come up.

Li Qingya was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then lay on Mu Jiangling's back.

"Hold on tight." Just as Mu Jiangling was about to get up, he suddenly felt something jump up his head along his trouser leg, and was swept by his tail, "Why did these two living ancestors come up?!"

Two gray squirrels swaggered and chirped over his head, jubilantly.

"They seem to like you very much."

"That won't work! I don't know how to raise squirrels! They still bite me!" Mu Jiangling complained angrily, "No matter how well-behaved you are, you are still a monster! Go, go, go down!"

He shook his head from side to side, the intention of driving away was self-evident.

Two squirrels jumped down.

Seeing that they were no longer entangled, Mu Jiangling heaved a sigh of relief, and walked slowly along the mountain path with Li Qingya on his back.The squirrel squeaked and squeaked, and followed closely behind, sometimes sneaking into the bushes, peeking at the two people on the mountain road with its black eyes through the branches and leaves.

After walking for a while, Mu Jiangling sighed heavily, turned his head to the rustling grass and said, "Don't hide, come out."

Two squirrels ran out and looked at him timidly.

"Come on."

Li Qingya smiled and said: "Why are you so soft-hearted."

Mu Jiangling rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "It's too shameful to argue with two squirrels. It's not that I can't afford it."

"Tough mouth."

"Bah! I tell you, smart people don't live long."

Li Qingya himself is actually fine, he will be fine after going down the mountain and resting for a while.After the jade slip was broken and opened, the content recorded in it was very simple.Li Qingya read it word by word: "Whoever can see this jade slip is my destined person. There is a soul sealed in the Taoist temple, don't be afraid, the talisman I left behind can be used. When writing this jade slip, I also have doubts .The world is not benevolent, so how can one seek immortality. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still haven’t solved it. Forget it. If there is no more fragrance at this time, you can hold this slip and visit the fairy mountain to find opportunities.”

Below is a formula.

These words are very simple and easy to understand. It means that the person who opened this jade slip must be my predestined person. You don’t have to be afraid of the ghosts in the Taoist temple. You can use the paper talismans in this room.In addition, I have thought about it for a long time and still can't figure it out-the world is not benevolent, so what can I ask for to cultivate immortals?If Liufang is gone at this time, you can take the jade slips and go to the fairy mountain to find opportunities.

"The fragrance is gone? Is it..." Mu Jiangling looked at Li Qingya, hesitant to speak.

Li Qingya said: "That's right, it's my Liufang Palace. The one who wrote this jade slip is my master."

"How are you sure?"

"The following part is the formula to open the treasure house of Liufang Palace, there is no mistake." Li Qingya propped his chin, suddenly slapped the table and said angrily, "He still has this kind of jade slip outside?! This formula is only for the fairy master He Zhenchuan disciples are qualified to know, if he does this, does he still have me as a disciple in his heart?!"

Mu Jiangling: "..."

Mu Jiangling: "Well, shouldn't the point be that Shikong decided to disperse Liufang Palace disciples as early as 40 years ago?"

Li Qingya continued to be angry: "Since he planned to leave Liufang Palace early in the morning, why would he accept me?!"

Mu Jiangling persuaded: "Calm down, maybe he has some difficulties."

Li Qingya was filled with righteous indignation: "What is the difficulty?! I... oh, it's too bad!" He was busy talking, and his hand slipped, and the jade slip rolled off the table.

Mu Jiangling caught the jade slip quickly with sharp eyesight, put it back on the table, and said with a smile: "This broken jade slip will fall if you drop it, don't you think so?"

Li Qingya's face turned green and pale, and silently put the jade slip into his arms.How could he allow the things left behind by Vanishing to be easily destroyed.

"Let's figure it out." Mu Jiangling took a piece of paper and scribbled, "There are a few strange things in that Taoist temple. Ghosts, jade slips, paper symbols, squirrels, destroyed clay sculptures. Jade slips and paper The talisman is all left by your master, and he should be the wandering Taoist that the old woman kept in her mouth for seven days."

Li Qingya: "It's not difficult to guess the destroyed clay sculpture. Since all the Taoist priests suffered accidents, no one dared to set foot in the Taoist temple. The clay sculpture can only be destroyed by my master. Although this is quite disrespectful, the jade slips left behind have Words of resentment are enough to prove it. My master is like this, when he is depressed and troubled, he will not take too much into account."

Mu Jiangling swiped down eight characters, pointed to the wet ink and said, "In this jade slip, the sentence 'Heaven is not benevolent, how can I seek immortality' has a meaning, not a question, but an exclamation. I Master has also sought this answer. However, in the end, one of these two people burned down the house, and the other destroyed the clay sculpture of Tianzun. Could it be that they saw some clues, so they did this?"

Li Qingya: "It's hard to say."

Mu Jiangling: "Also, you said earlier that your master once went to the ruins after the fire. But he went there again after the Taoist temple was completed. Could it be that he stayed here for a long time? Or did he stay here specially for something else? here?"

Li Qingya: "My master travels all over the world, but... it is not impossible to get lost."

Mu Jiangling: "..."

Li Qingya: "Cough, probably."

"Okay." Mu Jiangling crossed out three lines, pointed to the fourth line and said, "Squirrel. I don't know why the monsters are so close to me. You have also seen that they wanted to attack me at first, with such a strong evil spirit. "

Li Qingya glanced at the two squirrels hanging on Mu Jiangling's body, and said, "These two monsters are already psychic. It doesn't matter if you ask them."

Mu Jiangling: "Don't you think this is stupid?"

Li Qingya said indifferently: "It's not me who asked."

Mu Jiangling thought for a while, grabbed a gray squirrel from the top of his head, and asked seriously, "Why didn't you attack me later?"

Li Qingya couldn't hold back and smiled.

Mu Jiangling: "Hi!"

Li Qingya said seriously: "Puff, cough cough, no, I didn't laugh at you...Puff..."

The squirrel caught in his hand waved its paw dishonestly, squeaked and squeaked, and when Mu Jiangling was not paying attention, it threw itself on Mu Jiangling's chest, as if trying to tear off his clothes and get in.

"What are you doing?! You, you... the squirrel playing hooligans???" Mu Jiangling wanted to drag the squirrel down.The squirrel refused to let go of its claws, tugging, and the piece of black jade hanging around its neck was suddenly turned out.

The squirrel jumped back onto the table, squeaking triumphantly.

Li Qingya suddenly said: "What's wrong with your jade pendant?"

"Ah? Huh? This piece of black jade?" Mu Jiangling hesitated, remembering Ying Chen's words, "It's something left by my master. But no matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary piece of jade."

"It's not clear whether this piece of jade made the monsters approach you, or because the monsters and Moyu are related to your master, which makes the two attracted. Let's ignore that for now." Li Qingya poured a cup of tea to moisten his throat, "Finally One thing is the appearance of the ghost you saw."

"That's what my master looks like." Mu Jiangling affirmed.

Li Qingya said: "Ghosts come from human souls, and their appearance is naturally the same as they were when they were alive. It cannot be faked. When Ping Xiuyu burned the house, the fire that could not be calmed by wind and rain may have burned him to death."

"How is that possible!" Mu Jiangling jumped at the case, "Then who has raised me for more than ten years?! If it's a fake, who is it wrong to pretend to be, but why not pretend to be a useless spirit root that was burned to death?"

"I'm just saying it casually. What's more, did the person who raised you borrow someone else's appearance? Is there any conflict with him raising you for more than ten years?"

"I...you...I don't believe it, it's probably because of some kind of tricks used by this ghost!"

Seeing that Mu Jiangling was excited, the two gray squirrels also became excited, kicked their legs and rushed towards Li Qingya, showing their fierceness.

Li Qingya jumped up and ran around the table: "Squirrel squirrel! Your squirrel has bitten!!!"

Mu Jiangling chased after them: "Don't run, don't run, I'll catch them!"

Li Qingya fell to the ground with a plop.

Mu Jiangling held a squirrel in one hand, squatted down, and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, they don't seem to be very obedient."

Li Qingya: "You really didn't instigate it?"

Mu Jiangling: "No! It's not me! Come on, come on, get up quickly..."

Neither of the two noticed that outside the window, a cloud of black mist slowly emerged and then quietly disappeared.
