Chapter 82: A Serendipitous Encounter

In the dark night, the flow of people is surging and chaotic, and it is always a good time for the fish to escape from the chaos.

When he heard a shout in his ears and the crowd in front of him was huddled, Chu Xunyu was worried that there would be chaos, but as a result, he really expected it to be good, the first time, he couldn't see the Hu Xiaolin, his heart sank at that time, and he quickly turned his head to Wangchen and Mu Yuan and said, "It's not good, the kid surnamed Hu is gone, hurry up and leave here in case something changes." ”

Mu Yuan and Wangchen frowned and nodded, and then together with Chu Xunyu, they walked against the crowd and went outside.

The three of them squeezed around in the crowd, and finally escaped, standing on the mountain road, looking back at the head of the people in the fairy water rock, the gorgeous and colorful brilliance appeared and disappeared, and couldn't help but feel relieved, this is really early to see the opportunity, come out late, and don't know what it can become.

At this time, Wangchen said: "Let's take a look around here, Hu Xiaolin has other plans." ”

"Okay, let's not get separated, this person has bad intentions, and if he gets separated, it is easy to be surrounded by him to help. ”

So the three of them looked for it in the Dragon and Tiger Mountain at night, and before leaving, Chu Xunyu took the first time, as if he heard Zhang Yuqing's voice shouting in the crowd and maintaining order, and couldn't help but have a trace of schadenfreude.

It is not easy to find someone in the dark, especially when you are still afraid, and it is even more difficult. Chu Xunyu and the three of them walked more and more remotely in the mountains and forests. Suddenly, Wangchen whispered, "Wait." ”

"Well, what did the seniors find?" Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan were taken aback, and hurriedly alerted the surroundings.

"No, you don't have to be so nervous. Wangchen shook his head helplessly, "If you go further, you will reach the hanging coffin cliff of Longhu Mountain." ”

"Hanging Coffin Cliff?" Mu Yuan was confused when he heard it.

"The predecessor is talking about the coffin group that covers the entire mountain cliff?" Chu Xunyu remembered that there was a record in the book at home.

"Not bad. Wangchen nodded, "It's not easy to go now, there is a special person to take care of Longhu Mountain, and it is an important place for people, it is estimated that Hu Xiaolin will not be able to walk over in a grand manner." ”

"What is the Hanging Coffin Cliff?" Mu Yuan asked curiously.

"The hanging coffin cliff is a kind of name, it is the cemetery built here by the ancient Yue people, countless coffins are inlaid on the cliff, usually tell you to read more books, you will know how to eat. Chu Xunyu glanced at him angrily.

Mu Yuan pursed his lips aggrievedly, and then said whimsically: "Then it is also possible that this Hu Xiaolin crawled out of the coffin, this coffin is a thing, and it has always bred evil things, and it is not surprising that there are these things." ”

"Nonsense. Chu Xunyu shook his head and explained helplessly: "Since the establishment of this Longhu Mountain Daomen, I don't know how many thousands of years have passed, it is a forbidden place for people, and it has always been strictly guarded by them, and what evil things have long been destroyed, do you think the successive heads of Longhu Mountain are fools?"

These words are also reasonable, how can people sit idly by and ignore the people of Longhu Mountain, and the famous families of Langyang? So Mu Yuan had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and stop speaking. Then, the three of them were in the middle of the mountains, spinning around like headless flies, until they found Tianming, but there was no clue.

The morning sun gradually rose, Chu Xunyu exhaled a breath of cold air softly, and said with doubts: "It's strange, where can this guy go? Could it be that he slipped into the main hall of Longhu Mountain?"

"I don't think it's possible. Mu Yuan shook his head, "If he can do this, then he doesn't have to pretend to be a ghost, if there is anything, he will directly use the excuse of Longhu Mountain to press us, simple and clear." ”

"Not bad. Wangchen also agreed, "That's it, this person is gone, we don't have to look for it, since this person has a plan, then we must meet one day, so we go down the mountain now, sit and wait slowly, he will come to us sooner or later." ”

Wangchen's proposal was not bad, so the three of them walked to the town below the mountain, preparing to rest in the inn for a few days, so that they could see Hu Xiaolin again.

When the three of them were about to walk to the bottom of the mountain, they suddenly saw a group of people in a circle not far ahead, as if they were looking at something, pointing and pointing.

Chu Xunyu looked curious, and asked casually, "Senior, what kind of place is there?"

"En?" Wangchen was stunned for a moment, and replied casually: "There, it's the miscellaneous servant gate of Longhu Mountain, which is usually used by those peddlers who deliver vegetables and water to transport goods." ”

"Those people seem to be looking at something. ”

"It's not easy, let's go and see. Mu Yuan smiled, and pulled the two of them towards the crowd.

After the three of them squeezed over, they saw clearly. It turned out that there was an old man lying on the ground in the middle, who seemed to be dead a long time ago, with a sharp knife stuck in his back, and it was the kind of boning knife used to kill pigs and sheep in the market.

Not far from the corpse, is the small gate of the miscellaneous servants of Longhu Mountain, because it is a door, so there are several statues of Sanqing enshrined outside the door, but the strange thing is that in Sanqing, the statue of "Daode Tianzun" on the right was smashed by someone. There was a circle of mortals around, some delivering food and some carrying water, all watching, with unbearable faces, turning heads and ears, pointing and pointing.

After observing for a while, the three of them retreated, and Wangchen asked, "Chu Xiaoyou, what do you think of this corpse?"

Chu Xunyu thought for a moment, and said with a puzzled tone: "This old man's body, I have been looking at it for a long time, it should be a mortal, there is no doubt that the cause of his death, judging from the tens of thousands of years of experience of my Medicine King Mansion family, is indeed the case, being killed by that sharp knife should have nothing to do with the cultivator." ”

"So, Amitabha, hey, the human heart is vicious. Mu Yuan clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name, and recited the "Sutra of Death".

But Chu Xunyu interrupted him, pointed to the sculptures with his hand, and asked puzzledly: "It's strange here, why did the murderer smash these Sanqing statues? And this old man died last night, and Hu Xiaolin, this kid also disappeared last night, don't you think there is some problem?"

"En?" Mu Yuan smiled, "I have a solution to this question." ”

"Oh?"

"It's simple, because these are two fundamentally unrelated things. After a pause, Mu Yuan smiled and asked: "Think about it, who is Hu Xiaolin? Take 10,000 steps back and say, he is also a cultivator, a cultivator, ran to the stall on the street, stole a boning knife, and then took us up the mountain, came down by himself, secretly stabbed a mortal to death, and finally smashed the statue, do you think this is possible?"

This is really impossible, Chu Xunyu choked on the spot, and couldn't answer for a while, Wangchen nodded when he heard it, and said: "Maybe it's really like Mu Yuan's guess, it's just a dispute between mortals, and it has nothing to do with us." ”

"That is, if Hu Xiaolin really did this, then to use a common saying of mortals to describe it, it is called a full meal. Mu Yuan patted Chu Xunyu's shoulder with his hand, signaling him to think more.

The three of them were discussing, and at this time, someone from Longhu Mountain came, and it was none other than Zhang Yuqing. He brought a few low-level disciples of Longhu Mountain to the crowd, inspected the situation, and a doorman beside him said: "Senior brother, this old man is the old Zhang Tou who usually delivers food, and this morning, he was found dead here. ”

Zhang Yuqing nodded, looked down for a while, and then stood up again, with a tired look on his face, he probably saw that this was just a mortal matter, and his brows relaxed slightly. He comforted everyone a few words, and then whispered to the disciples around him, it seemed that he was arranging the aftermath, turned his head, and inadvertently saw the three people not far away, his expression was slightly stunned.

It turned out that now the cultivators near Longhu Mountain have long been surrounded by Xianshui Rock for the sake of Lingbao, and most of the people left here are mortals, but I didn't expect to see a few cultivators, and like myself, they all have the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Period, and I can't help but be a little surprised. So, a whole dressed person, came to them.

"In Zhang Yuqing, Xialonghu Mountain, I have seen three Taoist friends. ”

Wangchen transformed into a figure at this moment, and like Chu Xunyu and their cultivation, when he saw Zhang Yuqing coming over to say hello, he replied: "In Xia Wang Chen." ”

"Loose cultivation, Chu Xunyu. Seeing that Zhang Yuqing's face was full of gloom, Chu Xunyu secretly thought to himself that he must have been uncomfortable last night, and he was funny for no reason.

"En?" Zhang Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "This fellow Daoist, have we met before?"

"Oh, Zhang Daoyou laughed, I am a casual cultivator, how can I have an old relationship with a famous disciple like Brother Zhang. ”

"Where, where. Zhang Yuqing looked stupid, it seemed that he didn't recall anything, so he turned his head to look at Mu Yuan, but he was also stunned in his heart, how could this person look familiar?

Mu Yuan calmly replied: "Jinling Heavenly Boundary Temple, Mu Yuan little monk." ”

"Isn't it Senior Brother Mu Yuan of Central Plains Bajun?"

"Don't dare, the reputation is just a vain reputation, and the monks should not take it seriously. Mu Yuan replied with a smile.

"Sure enough. Zhang Yuqing suddenly realized, "I said why is Senior Brother Mu Yuan familiar, it turns out that he was in the Yuxu Palace back then, and he saw the demeanor of Senior Brother, and today he came to my Longhu Mountain, and he is really my distinguished guest." ”

Hurriedly said to the three of them: "Why are the three of you standing here? Please follow me to the door to have tea, sit down for a while, and make a little bit of my friendship as the landlord of Longhu Mountain." ”

But Chu Xunyu didn't pick up the topic, but asked, "Brother Zhang, what about this old man's corpse?"

"This?" Zhang Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a little shame: "Let Brother Chu see and laugh, in the past few days, we have the news that there is a spiritual light in Longhu Mountain, and a few people must also know it, so these days, our manpower has all been concentrated in the area of Xianshui Rock, and I don't want this mortal to have a vendetta, it is really negligent and embarrassing." ”

However, Zhang Yuqing's bearing is also broad, and then he said: "A few, let's come to my mountain gate to sit down, let these things be taken care of by their disciples." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came, and everyone looked back, there was a person in brocade and satin, holding a folding fan, it was Hu Xiaolin, he said with a smile: "Coincidentally, a few, there were many people last night, and they were separated, but I didn't expect to meet them here again." ”
