Shen Yue's residence is in the famous central villa area in the capital. The Shen family bought the surrounding houses, knocked down all the western-style villas and rebuilt them, and forcibly created a huge Chinese-style garden in the villa area.

Everyone in the Shen family grew up in this house, but since the previous generation, the population of the Shen family has been relatively small, and the Shen family mansion is usually a little deserted except for sometimes when it is lively when banquets are held.

But today there is no banquet for guests, the Shen family is still very lively.

Low-key luxury cars parked in front of the door, but the ones who got off were not the usual celebrities and family members, but all kinds of strangely dressed psychics and Taoists. They were respectfully invited by the servants of the Shen family as soon as they got off the car. go in.

Strangely, the living room was already full of famous masters of various genres, and the seats were almost full, but Mrs. Shen and the old lady who were in charge of entertaining them still looked at the door frequently, as if they were waiting for someone.

The people present were all top figures from various genres, if ordinary people could afford to hire one, they would burn their incense. It was really because of the Shen family's face that they made an exception to gather together.

Those who could be invited here by the Shen family were all arrogant, so seeing the absent-minded appearance of the two mistresses of the Shen family, they both became a little dissatisfied.

A psychic who came back from abroad directly showed a questioning expression, and frowned: "What the hell is this master trying to do? Didn't he invite us here because he had something urgent to ask? I think they are all right?"

A long-bearded Taoist priest beside her stroked his beard, and his face was not very good-looking, but after all, he came from a local Taoist temple, and he was well-informed, so he said: "I heard that the young master of the Shen family invited a Taoist priest personally." Fellow Taoists with profound methods are probably waiting for them."

"But aren't all the immortal teachers with famous names and surnames here in Kyoto?" Someone looked around, "Could it be that they are from other places?"

The long-beard Taoist priest shook his head: "I heard that it is a newly opened Taoist temple in the local area, but the young master of the Shen family was in danger yesterday, and thanks to the help of the other party, he survived. Even the state organs were alarmed."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised.

They have also heard about the strange thing that happened near the White Horse Temple last night. It is said that an engineering vehicle that was supposed to appear at the construction site hundreds of kilometers away suddenly appeared on the small road near the White Horse Temple. It fell and pierced a private car into a sieve.

At first I thought it was an accident caused by a construction vehicle transporting goods privately, and I didn't hear that there were any casualties, so everyone didn't take it seriously after watching it.

So it turns out that the person in that private car is actually the young master of the Shen family?

Master Yuanzhen from the White Horse Temple was present at the scene, and everyone turned their questioning gazes over. The other party nodded slowly, confirming this statement, and at the same time revealed the even more surprising truth: "At that time, the police specially asked me to wait for the past , said that the driver in the driver's seat disappeared for no reason, I went to investigate, and it was indeed a bit weird."

Master Yuanzhen can be regarded as a well-known existence in the circle of metaphysics. Most of the people present respectfully called him senior. When they saw him mentioning this matter, they were a little cautious, and their views on this accident changed immediately.

"Could it be that some master established his own Taoist temple?"

"But I haven't heard of any senior who wants to build a Taoist temple recently? The name Jingdu Temple seems to have never been mentioned by anyone."

"Building a Taoist temple by yourself takes a lot of time and effort. Most of the immortal masters focus on the study of spells, so they probably don't have the heart to set up their own school?"

There were different opinions, but since the other party did have some skills, these psychic priests finally shut up, restrained their doubts and waited.

When there was movement at the door, everyone felt a sense of relief, and looked up one after another.

I saw the young son of the Shen family, Shen Yue, leading two people of the same age in. His face was still a little pale. It could be seen that he hadn't recovered from last night's thrilling experience, but he treated the two young people behind him very respectfully. .

Everyone skipped their eyes and looked behind them, but they didn't see any familiar seniors in their imagination. The servants of the Shen family even closed the door directly, expressing that no one would come again.

The psychic priests froze for a moment, and saw the old lady of the Shen family and her daughter-in-law, both of whom were pleasantly surprised, went forward, and after confirming their eyes with Shen Yue, they burst into tears—surrounded one of the young people?

Could this be the apprentice of that senior?

As soon as they finished thinking this way, they saw the old lady and daughter-in-law of the Shen family embrace the young man and sit down at the main seat, then stood in a row, bowed firmly to the young man, and said, "Thank you, Master, last night." We saved each other, there is no way to repay your kindness, if you have any requirements, just ask, but if we can do it, we will definitely accept it!"

Everyone was shocked immediately.

Was it this young man who saved the young master of the Shen family?

Everyone couldn't believe it, but after thinking about it, maybe the magic weapon he gave to the young master of the Shen family was given by the master?After all, the children of aristocratic families in the metaphysics circle often do this. At first, everyone thought it was a miracle, but when they realized that they were using the magic tools of the elders, they were not very interested.

Relying on the magic weapon to show off outside, although it is not glorious, but the skill of reincarnation is good, and it is something that others cannot envy.

Therefore, many colleagues present looked at Chu Cheng with jealousy.

Qi Pengpeng was forced to come here by Chu Cheng, saying that since he joined his sect, he should get familiar with the affairs of the sect as soon as possible, so as not to go out by himself in the future without knowing what to do.

"What are you going to do?"

Chu Cheng looked at him inscrutablely: "Of course it's catching ghosts, eliminating demons and defending the way!"

Qi Pengpeng: "..."

Catch, catch ghosts?

God knows that Qi Pengpeng just wants to be an ordinary school bully boy and spend his high school career in peace and stability. If he can lay some foundations for him to go out and find a job in the future, that would be even better.

But his dream is down-to-earth, not a down-to-earth mansion!

He couldn't help but flinch a little from the thought of hugging his thigh, but Chu Cheng is a very simple person, without so many twists and turns. The children's peach wood sword was passed on to him, and he brought him to the Shen family.

Qi Pengpeng rarely even gets in touch with his roommates, let alone those rich second generations who live far away from him. This is the first time that Qi Pengpeng is a guest at the home of a rich second generation of the same age. Shocked, he stared blankly at the Chinese-style mansion in front of him, and then looked back at the western-style villa with hundreds of square meters behind him, but it was still too petty in front of the Shen family. For the first time in his life, he clearly Feel the difference in the world.

Just such a house, I don't know how many people spend their whole lives, but they dare not dream of wealth.

Shen Yue has all these things since she was born.

For some unknown reason, his resistance to Chu Cheng bringing him out to bluff and deceive quietly disappeared all the way, and he no longer resisted Chu Cheng asking him to carry the mahogany sword on his back and follow behind him with a small cloth bag full of talisman papers. On an errand, he followed Chu Cheng into Shen's house step by step.

Seeing his transformation, Chu Cheng was very satisfied in his heart, nodded secretly, suddenly realized something, and looked vigilantly at a door next to the living room.

He cast his gaze over, but didn't see anything unusual, but the old lady of the Shen family enthusiastically let him take the upper seat: "Master Chu, come, sit here!"

Chu Cheng had no choice but to look away.

After Chu Cheng was seated, a Taoist priest sitting next to him spoke first: "This little friend is a little strange, who did you learn from?"

The moment Chu Cheng entered the door, he felt an unusual coolness. His eyes fell on the door leading to the side hall, and he turned around after hearing the words, with a dazed expression.

Is this asking about his master's name?

To be honest, Chu Cheng has been with Master for so many years, and almost no one has visited their residence. He usually only calls "Master" and rarely hears Master's name.

Therefore, after thinking hard for a while, he finally found a vague name from his memory: "...Xu Changsheng."

The Taoist priest was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at each other with other colleagues, and they all saw the same meaning in each other's eyes: I have never heard of this name.

However, Huaguo has a vast territory, and there are many capable people and strangers. Guessing that he is ignorant, the Taoist suppressed his doubts and asked, "Which Taoist temple is my master practicing? I have traveled a lot, maybe I've been there."

Chu Cheng blinked: "Kyoto View."

"..." The Taoist was stunned again, "Isn't this a newly opened Taoist temple? I'm asking, which Taoist temple did senior Xu Changsheng go to before?"

Chu Cheng was very baffled, thinking that he had already said it?But with so many colleagues present and a new apprentice beside him, he couldn't let the apprentice feel that it was his first time attending such a scene, so he showed his timidity, so he could only answer patiently and word by word: " Beijing, Capital, Guan."

Everyone: "..."

The name Jingdu Temple is really not well-known in the industry. You look at me and I look at you, and you all say that you have never heard of this Taoist temple, let alone a person like Xu Changsheng, or even the whole Huaguo. There is no one surnamed Xu or Chu in a family of metaphysics.

Everyone's expressions changed, and they looked at Chu Cheng with indifference: "On this occasion, why don't you let your master come here?"

Qi Pengpeng was startled by the sudden attitude of all the psychic Taoist priests, and he thought angrily: It seems that it is the same in any industry, these people of the big sect look down on their small sect no matter where they go.

He has now accepted that he may become a Taoist priest in the future, and the setting of eliminating demons and defending Taoism has been set. Although he also thinks that Chu Cheng probably has no real skills, it would be great if he can make money!

Occupation does not distinguish between high and low!

Look at these old liars, who doesn't have a luxury or two?

Chu Cheng didn't think that much, and didn't notice at all. Under his negligence, the thoughts of the apprentice who had just joined the teacher's school had a tendency to deviate from the core values ​​of socialism. He replied calmly: "He died. .”

Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal. In Chu Cheng's view, Master's death was just following the laws of nature. Even if he was sad, it was only because of the relationship between them. There was no need for others to feel pain for his master.But the people at the bottom of the mountain are far from being as simple as he thought. When he said this, everyone's expressions changed.

The Taoist priest who asked him before turned red and shut up immediately, feeling ashamed of his previous aggressive attitude.It's hard for the others to say anything. The youngest of them can be the young man's grandparents. If they continue to ask questions like this, it will seem like they are bullying others.

Simply knowing that Chu Cheng and his master are not famous immortal masters, everyone stopped paying attention to this view of Kyoto.

It was probably just that the Shen family asked him to come over to make up the number because of the face that he had helped Shen Yue once.

As for the accident mentioned by Master Yuanzhen of the White Horse Temple, it was probably artificially exaggerated.

——What kind of ability can such a child who can solve the evil spirit have?

Everyone's mood relaxed. Chu Cheng was inexplicably attracted by everyone's attention, and then suddenly left behind. He was very confused. Fortunately, the food prepared by Shen's family was very delicious, which quickly attracted his attention away.

He didn't think of his new apprentice until halfway through eating, and raised his hand to greet Qi Pengpeng: "Eat quickly."

Qi Pengpeng looked at the other people with a gentle look, and the delicious food in front of him just wanted to move his chopsticks. Only Chu Cheng was heartless and didn't mind what those people said before. Fragrant and fast, I couldn't help but sighed in my heart, and didn't know what to say about him for a while.

The psychic priests at the table were also speechless. In their eyes, this kind of dinner was just for talking about things. Who would eat there with real feelings?

But this young man from Kyoto not only ate it, but also called them to join him when he saw them not moving their chopsticks: "Hurry up, or I will finish eating it in a while, I'm sorry."

Everyone: "..."

The Taoist priest who had just pissed off Chu Cheng was even more ashamed. He felt that he was too humiliated to compete with a fool just now.

This dinner was supposed to be a battle without gunpowder among their many factions. Before coming here, I heard that the Shen family had invited so many people. Everyone has prepared their skills and is just waiting for the time at the dinner table to discuss and learn from each other. After a while, the plan was disrupted by a hungry Chu Cheng.

It wasn't until Chu Cheng finally ate his fill that he burped in front of all the masters, and everyone's thoughts on the competition faded away in an instant.

What else is there to discuss, hurry up and finish catching ghosts, it's time to go home, it's time to go to sleep.

--

Thanks to Chu Cheng, this meal was really a simple meal, but Chu Cheng was the only one in the audience who was full, Qi Peng Peng was sitting on pins and needles, and had no intention of eating at all, while the other psychic priests were Always be on guard against sudden moves by colleagues, so that the chopsticks did not move a few times.

I don't know why, it's obviously not for eating, but when the masters left the table, they all felt a sense of regret that they didn't eat enough.

The Taoist priest who had pissed off Chu Cheng earlier wiped his face and motioned to Mrs. Shen: "Let's start now. Don't stay here for idlers."

Mrs. Shen had heard her grandson talk about the adventure last night, and she didn't dare to neglect Chu Cheng, who seemed to be the youngest on the field. Hearing this, she subconsciously glanced at Chu Cheng, and saw that the other party was just stroking his stomach with a satisfied expression. To object, she could only signal the servants at home to leave, leaving only her son, daughter-in-law and grandson waiting in the living room with her.

The invited masters quickly set up their battles, the psychic media brought out their own crystal balls, and the Taoist priests offered their magic tools one after another, and asked the disciples to set up the incense table, chanting mantras in their mouths.

Perhaps Chu Cheng's appearance is too eye-catching, and he is the youngest one in the entire team of celestial masters. Everyone couldn't help but look at him more when they were doing exercises. Seeing him standing there stupidly doing nothing, there was a bit of contempt on his face. .

Sure enough, he was just relying on his master's relics to try his luck, and when he met a serious occasion, he was confused.

Even Qi Pengpeng felt that Chu Cheng was going too far, leaned close to him and whispered, "Brother Chu...Master, Master, it's not good for us to do this? Why don't you ask me to set a table for you? ?”

Chu Cheng was really moved when he heard the words, and slowly turned his head to look at him: "Do you think we have a table?"

Qi Pengpeng: "..."

Looking back, sure enough, the other people's tables were moved over by their apprentices, no matter how bad it was, they were provided by the Shen family. Right now, all the available tables were occupied by other people, and there was only one huge round table left. It is for eating, and the leftover dishes on it have not been removed.

Damn, these old crooks are really treacherous, they won't even give them a good table!

Qi Pengpeng was thinking that he must buy a folding table online next time, so as not to let the Jingdu view lose his face, but Chu Cheng saw his thoughts, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, wait Just use them for a while."

Qi Pengpeng: "?"

Can it still be like this?

Could it be that he just misjudged these old liars, but in fact, people in this industry still help each other?

Just after thinking about it, there was a sudden movement in the crowd doing the practice over there.

The fairy masters in the living room really showed their housekeeping skills. In order to overwhelm their peers from other genres, the battle was very lively, singing, dancing and reading scriptures. Some people brought a jar of black dog blood, I don't know how long it has been sealed, but the moment I opened it, it was like a can of herring, and the whole living room was full of stink.The psychic who came back from abroad was even more cool. There was thunder and rain above the crystal ball, as if the special effects of a movie had entered reality.

But to everyone's disappointment, these methods were useless. After some operations, they didn't even see a ghost, but they were so tired that they were a bunch of old bones panting.

Those present were all the most famous people from various genres, but now they failed even the most basic trick of recruiting ghosts.

Master Yuanzhen, who still didn't say much from the beginning to the end, was calm and walked out from behind the crowd slowly.

He was regarded as the most respected one among this group of people, and everyone could not help making way for him so that he could walk to the middle of the living room without hindrance.He didn't need a table either, and sat down directly on the spot, and slowly spread out the hem of his monk's robe. After tidying up his clothes, he clasped his palms together and began to read scriptures.

Master Yuanzhen's Dharma is indeed profound. At first, everyone didn't think there was anything unusual in the room, but when he read out the first scripture, the whole living room immediately warmed up a lot, and felt the warm breath around him. Everyone realized that since entering Shen's house, their hands and feet have been cold, but the air conditioner in the room is turned on very high, and no one cares.

As the scriptures were continuously input into their ears, everyone felt the temperature gradually rise, and gradually felt the refreshing and comfortable air-conditioned room should have. .

It turned out that under the blessing of Master Yuanzhen's Dharma, strands of black silk threads suddenly appeared on their limbs.

This black silk thread is thinner than hair, and it doesn't feel at all when hanging on the body, and it doesn't look threatening, but no one knows how it got on them, and they looked at the source of the thread , They are all connected to the same place.

Everyone looked up in the direction of the silk thread, and looked at the open door on the side of the living room. Although they still didn't see Xie Xing's true face, they couldn't help but change their expressions.

The Taoist priest who spoke to Chu Cheng earlier shouted firmly: "Kunlun cotton!"

The Shen family saw that the silk threads on their bodies were unclear, so they asked, "What is Kunlun cotton? Is it a kind of cotton?"

The Taoist priest's face was pale, but he still managed to calm down and explained: "It's not cotton. Kunlun cotton is a kind of fungus that grows on rotting corpses. It is a kind of thing that condenses after being contaminated with the resentment of ghosts. No ghosts, they live by sucking human flesh and blood. Once they touch a wound, they will directly penetrate into the human body and take root in the flesh and blood. Until all the flesh and bones are eaten, they will continue to search for the next host with the human skin. Because it looks like cotton and is as black as ink, it was named Kunlun cotton."

Human, human skin!

This unimaginable description made everyone in the Shen family turn pale, and Shen Yue was even ashamed.

He remembered what happened to him in the car, that is to say, the driver attacked him at that time, because the Kunlun cotton had already eaten the driver clean, and wanted to continue to eat him?

Shen Yue was terrified immediately, and the old lady of the Shen family and the others were almost scared to death, and hurriedly asked: "Then, why did this thing appear in our house?"

"Kunlun cotton has been rarely seen since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The last time I heard of it was decades ago. At that time, a woodcutter in a remote mountain village went out to cut firewood. When he came back, he turned into this kind of monster. Parasitizing other people in the market! Fortunately, an immortal master passed by at that time and subdued this thing, otherwise hundreds of people in the market would suffer!"

As the Taoist said, he couldn't help but started to step back, "But the immortal master was also seriously injured, and died shortly after returning. This Kunlun cotton took so many people at once, I'm afraid it's not just a rookie who was just born. Trouble...Everyone, I will take action together and try the depth of this Kunlun cotton!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Kunlun cotton tied around everyone's hands and feet suddenly tightened as if he understood it, and then more black silk threads spewed out from the gate, and swept towards everyone densely.

In the panic of the crowd, the Taoist priest was directly rolled up and dragged into the side hall!
