Who asked him to cultivate immortality!

"How did you know he was the Painted Skin Ghost?" Taoyaoye asked a question that Butler Zhang didn't know the answer to until his death.

Lu Yang cleaned up the remnants of the battle and used a broom to sweep Painted Skin Ghost's ashes into a small handful. Tao Yaoye also consciously took out a dustpan and picked it up.

"It's very simple, continue to think about what the parrot said. 'Who are you, where is Butler Zhang?'."

"After we met Shang Yuan, she deliberately drove us away from the Shang family."

"This shows that the current Butler Zhang is no longer the person Miss Shang knew, and is extremely dangerous."

"There are three possibilities for changing the identity of Butler Zhang."

"First, Butler Zhang's body was taken away. But why did the old man who took the house stay in Shang's house for so long? If it were me, the first thing I would do after the house was taken away was to leave Taiping Township and find a Feng Shui treasure land to continue practicing. Moreover, Butler Zhang's talent is not very good, and the head of the Shang family is better than him." Lu Yang compared his feelings with his own and put himself in his shoes.

"The second is that someone disguises himself as a butler. But that's not right. The Shang family doesn't have anything valuable, so why pretend to be a butler? Does he have a habit of serving others? Even if the Shang family has valuable things, can't they just rob them? With his cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, no one cares about him even when he is crawling around Taiping Township."

"The third possibility is Painted Skin Ghost. Painted Skin Ghost's favorite thing is to collect human skin, pretend to be human, follow the habit of disguise, and live among humans."

The Painted Skin Ghost is a human being during life and a ghost after death. It is a type of ghost cultivator. Most ghost cultivators of all types have some kind of psychological disorder.

For example, painted-skinned ghosts are most afraid of having their identity revealed. They will try hard to convince themselves that they are human beings, saying the same words and doing the same things as others. When they get tired of it, they will change their skin and start a new identity. repeatedly.

What Lu Yang said was reasonable and well-founded. Tao Yaoye looked sideways and admired him. He couldn't see the shadow of Senior Brother Lu who was frightened on the flying boat.

She mastered all the knowledge that Lu Yang had, but she didn't think as much as Lu Yang thought. This was due to the gap in thinking sensitivity.

"Put away the ashes. This is proof that we have completed our mission." Lu Yang took out a two-hand-high white porcelain jar and put all the ashes in Painted Skin Ghost.

The Painted Skin Ghost is an extension of the mission and can be regarded as part of the mission. Killing the Painted Skin Ghost will definitely give you more rewards than finding the parrot.

There was a sound of running outside the house, and it stopped when it reached the door. It was like several people woke up from their sleep and came to the east wing to check the situation, but they did not dare to enter the house.

It was not difficult to guess the identity of the person outside the door. Lu Yang laughed loudly and said: "Master Shang, come in. I have killed the Painted Skin Ghost. It is safe here."

With a bang, the wooden door was pushed open by the Shang family master. Behind him stood the wife, young lady, maids and servants, a total of twelve people, all of whom looked like they were surviving the disaster.

"Thank you to the two immortals for killing the Painted Skin Ghost and saving the lives of the twelve members of my Shang family!" The head of the Shang family knelt down with a plop, and the people behind him also knelt down.

The Painted Skin Ghost is moody, and when he gets tired of being a butler, he will most likely kill all his family members!

"Master Shang, slaying demons and defending the right path is what I, the Taoist disciples, should do." Lu Yang had never seen such a large battle before, he was startled, and hurriedly helped them up one by one.

"I also ask for your forgiveness, two immortals. The painted-skinned ghost appears and disappears, and his whereabouts are uncertain. I don't know where he came from."

"Ever since this painted-skinned ghost pretended to be Butler Zhang, we are not allowed to leave the Shang family. If anyone comes to visit, we are not allowed to tell his story. If he finds out, we will die!"

Speaking of this, Shang Yuan on the side also looked ashamed. She was a gentle lady, and all her cold behavior in the boudoir was just to keep Lu Yang and the two away from danger.

I just heard the head of the Shang family continue to say: "It's a pity that I have retired to the countryside, and all the monk's belongings have been exchanged for gold, silver and jewelry, so they are of no use to you and I can't repay you. I don't know what you two need. Even if Shang sells his property, he will not be able to repay you. It needs to be completed." The head of the Shang family was not being polite, he really wanted to repay the favor of saving his life.

In the eyes of Taoist disciples, all his money was no more than scrap metal and worthless.

Lu Yang really has needs.

"I heard that you encountered a life-and-death crisis while robbing a tomb, so you decided to wash your hands and quit the world of immortality. I wonder what happened at that time?"

Tao Yaoye looked at the Shang family master with great interest. Tomb robbery, life and death crisis, great terror, washing hands in a golden basin. These words sounded like a lot of stories, and there might be great opportunities. What she liked most was to explore mysterious places. unknown.

Lu Yang is not as interested in exploring the unknown as Tao Yaoye, but he likes to hear anecdotes.

The corner of the Shang family's head twitched. To be honest, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to recall that horrific past, but he had to answer the savior's question.

He dispersed everyone, especially Shang Yuan who tried to stay secretly, leaving Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye alone.

"You can't say this to others today."

Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye nodded.

After the head of the Shang family received a positive answer, he talked about the past twenty years ago.

"Thirty years ago, I, Shang Zhongtian, was slightly famous in the tomb-robbing world during my Qi training period. Not to mention notorious, I was also hated by everyone." The head of the Shang family put his hands on his hips, recalling the golden years.

Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye didn't quite understand why Shang Zhongtian, the head of the Shang family, was so proud when talking about this.

What they don't know is that their colleagues are enemies, and tomb robbers are also competitors. Shang Zhongtian's good reputation naturally shows that he is highly skilled.

"I have always been careful when robbing tombs. I never touch big tombs or ancient tombs. There are ghosts in big tombs and immortals in ancient tombs. We all know this in this industry."

The ghost mentioned here is not a foundation-building imp like Painted Skin Ghost, but a powerful being who dominates the ghosts.

"The qi-training monk is poor. All his valuables have been given to his descendants, and there are no burial objects to indicate his burial. I won't touch the qi-training monk's tomb. There is no oil or water."

"Monks in the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Stages have a small family property. After their death, they will habitually distribute most of their property to their descendants and leave a small portion for burial. This small portion is enough for me to make a lot of money."

"It's a pity that I often walk by the river and my shoes don't get wet. That time I was digging a Jindan period tomb. At the end of the digging, I found that this was a tomb within a tomb. The Jindan period tomb was for burials, and the main tomb was Nascent Soul stage!”

"According to the rules of our profession, we cannot dig graves that are too high above our own. But at that time, I was overwhelmed with joy. At that time, I felt that I was at the peak of Qi training. If I really ran, my speed would be as fast as those in the foundation building stage. If I don’t fight, I can still be considered in the foundation building stage, so there is no danger in digging a tomb that fell from the sky to the Nascent Soul stage.”

"So I offered incense to the ancestor, asked for his blessing, and then started digging the tomb of the Yuan Ying period."

I owe you another update for the time being.
