After I faked my death, the magician went crazy

Master Yideng made a salute: "Blesser Ziping, you are very humorous. These two little benefactors are also poor people. I plan to chant scriptures and pray for them all night. Maybe the horoscope of benefactor Ziping doesn't match them. After a while, the masters will tell you what to do." I will take turns keeping vigil for the two little benefactors, in order to avoid conflicts, the two benefactors should leave early."

Master Yideng spoke calmly, with compassion in his voice, but his face was bluer and darker than the first time he saw it, and maybe he was crying secretly in the room because of the tragic death of two children , the corners of his eyes were a little bald from crying.

Master Yideng sensed Li Ziping's eyes, and nervously rubbed the corners of his eyes with his hand, come on, an old monk is quite fond of beauty, no, he is not old, so the two had to leave.

This ancestral hall is located in the most conspicuous position in the town, and it is also the most magnificent building in the whole town. It has always been managed by successive patriarchs.

"Get out! Get out!" A rotten egg struck Li Ziping. He just blocked it with his sleeve when Xu Ming's long sword split open in the cold light. The rotten egg split in midair and flowed all over the ground. There was an unpleasant stench, and who knew it was thrown from all around, many rotten vegetable leaves and more rotten eggs.

Li Ziping is still Ziping's identity, it is not convenient to show his skills in front of people, so he can only cover it with two sleeves in embarrassment.

"Get out, get out, get out for the peace of Tai'an Town." They didn't dare to be presumptuous in the ancestral hall, so they waited for them to come out, especially the peasant with high cheekbones and a square face, who was very excited. One threw out rotten eggs.

Fortunately, the old housekeeper called a carriage in time to take the two of them back to the mansion, but because the best carriage in the mansion had already been borrowed by the patriarch, it was changed to an altar for the ceremony, that is, the carriage trampled by Li Ziping .

The temporarily arranged carriage was quite simple, with only a small square table with a low stool in the middle, and some tea and water, Li Ziping sat upright, and Daoist Xu Ming could only sit sideways.

Li Ziping made two circles on the eyes with his hands, looked at Xu Ming's profile, and thought to himself, these peach blossom eyes seem a bit similar, the angle of the mandible is also a bit similar, and the hair is even more alike... Nonsence!Who doesn't have black hair?

He carefully murmured: "Lang Yuexu..."

Unfortunately, Xu Ming was resting with his eyes closed, motionless.

Hey, this is strange. Could it be that the spell in my mind went wrong?At that time, at the stalactites in the wolf's hundred-year-old cave, he and the headless ghost had revealed their real bodies, only Daoist Xu Ming had not changed, and after thinking about it carefully, he was a good demon cultivator, living a chic and comfortable life, and he wanted to beat whoever he wanted. Why pretend to be a disciple of the Sanqing Realm, and come here to eliminate demons and subdue demons?

This Lang Yuexu doesn't seem like someone who has a leisurely heart, and specially ran to Tai'an Town to do good things?

He thought for a while, picked up the teacup on the small wooden table, shook it left and right, pretending that if he was not careful, he was about to spill it on the other party, and unexpectedly, Taoist Xu Ming flipped it over with one hand, and the teacup fell into him firmly. His right hand didn't spill a single drop.

"what are you doing?"

Seeing Xu Ming's anger was about to overflow, Li Ziping smiled awkwardly, and shouted to the outside of the carriage: "Slow down and be steady! You see, I can't even hold a cup of tea steadily, hehe, it's not up to you It’s been a lot of hard work. I said I’d pour you a cup of tea, but I almost spilled it. Daoist Xu Ming’s spiritual power is high! Daoist Xu Ming’s mana is boundless!” A plot to verify the identity of the other party turned into flattering the other party, Li Zi Ping's reaction is no one else.

"Oh?" Xu Ming picked up the teacup with great interest and took a sip, "The tea in your mansion is indeed different, with a hint of sweetness in the tea fragrance."

Li Ziping pretended to cooperate and picked up another teacup, took a sip, and almost didn't spit it out, Kudingcha!Where is the sweetness!

At night, because of the patriarch's advice, the entire Tai'an town fell into silence early on. Every household closed their doors, doors and windows were locked, and not even a wild dog could be seen in the streets and alleys.

Ever since Ziying came down from Mount Tai'an, even the boudoir that had been carefully tidied up made her sleep quite uneasy. Although she had repeatedly emphasized that she wanted to go back to live on Mount Tai'an, she was rejected by her brother and the old housekeeper. In the eyes, it was the busy figure of Lang Baisui cooking for himself, and he couldn't help but muttered: "Mother."

In order to let her get used to the life in the Zi Mansion as soon as possible, the old butler deliberately arranged as few servants and maidservants as possible in the small courtyard of the eldest lady. For a long time, the sense of vigilance when living in the mountains.

Ziying opened her eyes, staring blankly at the top of the canopy bed. It was another sleepless night, but tonight was different. There was a burst of sparse footsteps outside Xiaoxuan's window, like a person, no, like It's two people walking.

This is strange.Now everyone in the town is in danger, even the servants and maids are specially told not to wander around at night, who came into her yard?After listening carefully, the footsteps didn't sound like living people, but like some heavy object hitting the ground? "Boom! Boom!" Two long and one short echoes, very regular.

The boudoir was filled with the fragrance of flowers, Zi Ying got up gently, and slowly opened the small window in the room a thin crack.

In the dark night, there are two pairs of moon-white shoes, with the word "longevity" embroidered on them, dotted with a small piece of jade. It doesn't look like anything expensive, especially the two small pieces of jade are very rough, and there are no patterns on them. , looks like it was done in a hurry.

There is half an arm's distance between the two pairs of shoes, but there is a tacit understanding, and it doesn't matter which foot is lifted at the same time. The more you look at the two pairs of shoes, the more familiar they look.

Zi Ying suddenly realized that these two pairs of shoes were worn by the two children during the daytime today. She saw that the two children were really worn out. I bought two pairs of shoes and asked them to send them to them. Generally, some people who are more particular are custom-made. She picked and picked, and only these two pairs of shoes looked a little better.

Zi Ying took a breath, and carefully opened the wooden window a little, and it was indeed the figures of the two children, but the clothes on their bodies had changed to the ones lying in the ancestral hall, and the voice Two long and one short "Boom! Boom!" sound, it means that they are carrying a wooden box.

The two children were small and thin before they were alive, and with this wooden box, they stopped and went, making the sound of the box knocking on the ground, Ziying covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.However, the other party seemed to have noticed her, and they turned their heads to look at her stiffly at the same time, the pale face and the wound in the heart were still vivid, their mouths were staggered abruptly, and they made ugly and painful voices: "Save me! Save me!"

Ziying couldn't bear it any longer, even though she sometimes read some anecdotes out of curiosity, it was still very different from seeing it with her own eyes.She even felt that she would rather read the two volumes of "Wrong Love and Double Cultivation Record" over and over again than this, and a scream resounded through the small courtyard.

A gust of wind caused the two children to collapse completely, and Lingsi turned her head to attack Zi Ying.

At a critical moment, a chicken leg slammed over, and with a "pop", Lingsi swayed and hit the vase next to Zi Ying. Her feet were full of broken porcelain pieces, and she was frightened. Had to sit on the ground.

"Miss, run away!" It was the shiny human head that threw the chicken leg, headless ghost!

Although Li Ziping repeatedly told the headless ghost not to run around when he was in Zifu.But today he was so hungry that he ran out in the middle of the night looking for something to eat. Before he had finished eating a beggar chicken, he heard someone screaming. But the direction of the voice sounded like Miss Zi Ying's yard, so he floated to take a look, but unexpectedly he was actually caught.

"Miss, hurry up and find the hair-plucking thief, oh, that is Daoist Xu Ming." The headless ghost stood in front of him, and took out Li Zipingsheng's yellow talisman, "The condensing talisman..."

Seeing this, Ziying got up quickly and ran away, "Headless ghost, hold on!".

When Zi Ying came to the courtyard with Xu Ming and Li Ziping, the two ghosts had disappeared, and the wooden box was also missing.

Li Ziping lit a lantern and found the unconscious headless ghost in a flowerpot in the corner.

Daoist Xu Ming took it, and breathed under the headless ghost's nose: "You don't have to worry, it's not poisoned. Now it seems that Lingsi must have absorbed his spiritual power, and it will be fine after two days."

This headless ghost cannot be handed over to the old housekeeper and the servants in the courtyard. Li Ziping thought about it, and handed over the headless ghost to Ziying's care, and told her to stay by the headless ghost's side all the time, and let her go. A plate of chicken, the more flavorful the better.

The most urgent thing is to go to the ancestral hall to check. The two rushed to the gate of the ancestral hall. Uncle Zhang, who was guarding the gate, was sleepy and yawned. Well? The patriarch has already said, don't run around in the middle of the night..."

Before he finished speaking, although Li Ziping lay on the gun inexplicably, he didn't have time to argue with him right now, so he pushed away the person standing in front of him: "I've offended you."

The two hurried to the side room, and saw that the two children were still lying there, the same as when they left before, except that Master Yideng, who was sitting at the side meditating and chanting sutras, turned into a kneeling appearance, facing face down.

Li Ziping helped the master up, pinched him among the people, and woke him up.

In the candlelight of the lantern, Master Yideng slowly opened his eyes, "Water, water..." He was out of breath, and Xu Ming handed over a half cup of tea that was already completely cold.

Only then did Li Ziping realize that Master Yideng's cassock was already stained with blood, and the wound in his heart was still bleeding, "Master, please bear with me, I will immediately find the doctor in my house."

Ever since Master Zhou in Zi Mansion had an accident, the mansion has specially raised a doctor to prescribe medicine and take care of those few patients.

The doctor came, worked hard for two hours, and finally wrapped up the wound of Master Yideng, and told him not to worry about it, but to rest.

But this ancestral hall will be lent to the masters of dragon and lion dancers to run mourning halls tomorrow. The patriarch has already agreed, and it is impossible to refuse others. Therefore, Li Ziping can only ask the doctor and master Yideng to go back to Zifu to recuperate first. .

After they left, Li Ziping put the lantern in front of him: "Actually, I wondered at the beginning why you had to kill two children just to kill you or sneak attack, and you are not the kind who favors children. When it comes to children, they have to be hugged. I'm afraid they were playing around after dinner last night and saw something they shouldn't see, so they were silenced."

Daoist Xu Ming took off one of the children's shoes. Under the light of the lantern, the back of the shoe was clean, but the sole was covered with dust. Snatch away the wooden box that the patriarch moved to Zi Mansion ahead of time. Only the eldest lady’s small courtyard has the fewest people, so I chose to go in and out from there, but I didn’t expect that the good thing was ruined by her and the headless ghost who were awake in the middle of the night.”

Li Ziping put away the lantern, "All kinds of grievances must be repaid. The headless ghost doesn't have much spiritual power, and he can't even do magic tricks. This spiritual thread actually doesn't dislike it, and sucks up his little spiritual power." clean."

Xu Ming looked at the wound on the child's body again, and said hesitantly: "Could it be that after injuring Master Yideng, he controlled the two children to steal the wooden box, and their spiritual power was exhausted, so they couldn't care about picky eaters, and it didn't matter if they encountered a headless ghost?" up"

Daoist Xu Ming took the lantern from Li Ziping's hand and gently rubbed his fingers on the ground, "You lift your feet."

Li Ziping looked down and saw that the black boots on his feet were the same as usual, but he still half-raised one foot. Xu Ming stretched out his fingers and pinched a corner of the black boots. It was an inconspicuous piece of skin flakes.

He was disgusted: "Uh, it's so disgusting, what is this?"

Xu Ming put it back to its original place, "Some animals in this world, such as snakes, will shed their skin at a certain time."

Li Ziping stepped over the flakes of skin carefully, "But. This thing is obviously human skin. I've never heard of people shedding their skin."

Daoist Xu Ming cleaned his hands twice, and said calmly: "It is true that people can't shed their skin, but you have heard that there is a secret technique in the White Crane Way, which is called the puppet technique by the monks."

The so-called White Crane Dao is the largest of the four major sects of cultivation. It is dominated by disciples of the surname Meng. Most of its secrets and methods are not passed on to the outside world. For example, those relatives who can't beat eight poles also changed their surname to Meng, entered the White Crane Road to practice, and ate their food, but this kind of puppetry has long been lost.

In fact, calling it the puppet technique is already underestimating him. To be precise, it is a kind of reincarnation technique. Even the monks of this method can not only control the spiritual thread, but also reincarnate into other people's bodies.

Of course, this kind of technique that goes against life and death also has great restrictions. For example, the body of the person who wants to be reincarnated must have been dead for no more than two hours. Success, the three methods have a time limit, because the body of the original owner is already dead, and after forcibly using the method to reincarnate, his body will slowly rot, so it is often 20 years, ten years, or even a few years. The body needs to be replaced.

Then, the risk is quite high. You must prepare in advance a dying person who does not lack arms or legs, and you must also ensure that you have sufficient spiritual power in your body to drive the spell, and you will be considered successful this time. , so what about the next time, or even the next time?You don't necessarily guarantee that the right time, place and people will be right every time, and you will succeed every time. Gradually, this puppet technique has disappeared in the sect before it is designated as a forbidden technique.

Li Ziping fell into deep thought. Back then, that cultivator threatened Lang Baisui to take Ziping away. Strictly speaking, this method of taking away a home is also a kind of reincarnation technique.Could it be that he hated the puppet technique several times, so he changed his mind and used the forbidden technique to seize the house.

However, it's not appropriate to publicize it now, the real Ziping's half soul is still in his room, and he has not yet found a way to deal with it properly, and he dare not ask this stinky Taoist priest in front of him, a disciple from such a famous school, if he knows about himself It was a cross-cutting, and the soul returned to someone else's body, so he must not be tied up as a monster.

Xu Ming handed the lantern back to him again, "Tonight, the only ones who have come to the penthouse are you and me, as well as the dragon and lion dance masters, as well as their Uncle Zhang and the patriarch."

Except for the masters, the others are people they are familiar with. They have no clue for the time being, so the two can only leave first.
