The film studio was located in J-City, and the Xuan An Temple was located in a famous scenic spot in J-City. The two of them didn't talk along the way and rushed to the Xuan An Temple in silence.
Xia Yuyang's face was tense, and he did not mention anything about the two of them testing each other on the set. Priest Zhang also did not say a word, as if the person who invited him to go with him was not him. In this strange silence, the two of them looked more serious than the other.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Mysterious Peace Temple, Xia Yuyang looked at the ancient door in front of him and began to think about a problem. The Soul Binding Chains could lure souls to fight ghosts. He wondered if it would work on Taoist priests.
With Priest Zhang leading the way, they were unimpeded in the temple. Soon, they arrived at a hall with a few golden statues. Priest Zhang gestured for Xia Yuyang to go in first before he turned around and closed the door of the hall.
Hearing the sound of the wooden door closing behind him, Xia Yuyang's heartstrings suddenly collapsed to the extreme. He silently pinched his right hand on his left wrist, ready to deal with any changes at any time.
Priest Zhang came in front of him and suddenly raised his hands in front of him, formally bowing to him. When Priest Zhang raised his hand, Xia Yuyang had already pulled out the Soul Binding Chain wrapped around his left hand with a whoosh.
Priest Zhang stood up straight and saw a chain emitting a murderous aura hanging in front of him, as if it was going to tie him up at any time. The corner of his mouth twitched."Little friend, there's no need to be nervous. The Mysterious Peace Temple is a friend, not an enemy.”
Well, this was simply confessing without being beaten. He had exposed himself completely before he could even get anything out of him. Brother Xie, Brother Xia, I'm sorry. The informant from the underworld hadn't even pretended to be deep before he lost his identity. What kind of suffering was this? Xia Yuyang was so embarrassed that he almost dug out a big villa in front of all the statues in the hall.
"I invited you here because I have something to discuss. I was afraid that the walls had ears just now, so it was inconvenient to talk about things. I hope you can forgive me. The Three Purities Bell used by True Monarch Three-Cottage was inside the hall to prevent prying eyes.”Priest Zhang saw that Xia Yuyang was still too embarrassed to recover, so he opened his mouth to ease the situation and explained to him why he did not say a word on the way.
"True Monarch Three-Cottage? He did not expect the ancestors of the Xuan An Temple to have such a powerful background.”This time, Xia Yuyang was truly shocked. This Lord Sanmao could be considered the ancestor of the Taoist priests of Mao Mountain. Mao Mountain was originally called Gouqu Mountain. After the three brothers of the Mao family attained the Dao, they took charge of the mountain, so they renamed Gouqu to Mao. The Dharma lineage on Houmao Mountain was inherited from the Shang Sect, and the ancestor of the Shang Sect was True Monarch Three-Cottage. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Lord ThreeMao was the founder of the Maoshan Sect.
Xia Yuyang did not expect that a Taoist temple hidden in a scenic spot would have such a relationship with that famous immortal.
" My young friend, please forgive me. That was already the glory of our ancestors. Sigh, let's not talk about it now. We didn't even preserve our great powers. Now that the world is in trouble, we're like ants trying to shake a tree. This Penniless Priest performed a divination a few days ago, and the turning point in the divination fell on the word 'Xia'. The direction is in the film studio. That's why This Penniless Priest accepted Director Fu's commission to go to the film studio to explore.”
Priest Zhang explained the reason for his invitation in a few words. Only then did Xia Yuyang realize that the feeling of being destined was really stressful. However, why was he secretly feeling a little happy?
"How can you be sure that the divination is referring to me?”Even if he was proud, he had to maintain his rationality.
"This Penniless Priest wasn't sure at first. After all, it's not easy to make a conclusion based on one word. What really made me believe was the Soul Binding Chains in your hand and the aura of the White Sect on your body.”
"Me? Taoist priest, how do you know everything? And what was the aura of the White Sect? Did Da Bai leave a scent on me?" Xia Yuyang felt a little creeped out. Did she already know everything about him in the production team?
"Little friend, don't panic. I recognize that the Soul Binding Chains are the ones that our Daoist temple often ferries souls to the afterlife. It can be said that we often have dealings with the underworld. This Penniless Priest once saw this symbol on Lord Xie's hand, so it should be the Soul Binding Chains of the Impermanence Ghost. As for the aura of the White Gate, our granduncle once found a White Immortal who was about to transform in the suburbs and saved its life by chance. That White Immortal stayed in the temple for a long time. Most of the people who had come into contact with the White Immortal in the temple recognized the aura of the White Gate.”
After listening to Priest Zhang's explanation, Xia Yuyang was relieved. If he couldn't even hide his identity and trump card from Priest Zhang, let alone hide it from the powerful god behind the scenes.
"You're right, Taoist priest. I'm indeed working in the underworld with the identity of Life Impermanence, and there's indeed a White Immortal protecting my family. Before I joined Director Fu's crew, I didn't know that this trip would be so bumpy and dangerous, but since I'm already in the picture, even if I don't have to save people, I have to do my best to protect myself.”Xia Yuyang saw that Priest Zhang had already guessed his identity, so he admitted it openly.
"Little friend, you are magnanimous. If you really want to protect yourself, you can just say goodbye. In the face of such unknown danger, many people will choose to watch from the sidelines. Since little friend has chosen to enter the game, it means that you have no intention of watching and not saving.”
No way, no way! Why is this old Daoist flattering me like this? Could it be that he has something to ask me for help? Xia Yuyang was flattered, but he tried his best to regain his rationality so that he wouldn't be praised too much.
"Taoist priest, just now you mentioned that the human world is in trouble.”Xia Yuyang silently recalled what Priest Zhang had just said and caught the main point.
Hearing this question, Priest Zhang's expression turned solemn before he could answer.
"Little friend, this isn't a divination I made, but something that has already happened. Recently, the Mysterious Peace Temple has suddenly become popular. After the disciples of the temple and the devotees asked around, they found out that there were ghosts in Province J recently. Someone often heard unknown roars at night. Later, someone who claimed to be from the Special Investigation Department traced it to the vicinity of the Mysterious Peace Temple. I then learned that there had been an attack by an unknown creature a few days ago. I heard from the investigator that it was a white-haired flying zombie.”
" Flying Zombie?!"
Xia Yuyang felt a headache coming on. There were malicious ghosts ambushing in front of him, flying zombies appearing behind him, and an ultimate boss that had yet to show up in the dark. What was the difference between this situation and being besieged from all sides? They were trapped in the middle of a trap!
Zombies were the most difficult to deal with. Unlike ghosts, which could be reincarnated, zombies would do evil once they were born. If one couldn't hit their vital point, it was almost equivalent to an immortal and indestructible abnormal existence. They were excluded from the Six Paths by the three realms of heaven, earth and man. If they were not in the Dao, they would not be restrained. Zombies were not restrained by the Heavenly Dao. As long as there was resentment in the world, they could continue to grow.
The flying zombie that Taoist Priest Zhang mentioned was one of the most difficult types of zombies to deal with. Later generations also called the flying zombie a demon. After a long time, there would be a great drought, and the land would be barren for thousands of miles, so it was also called the drought demon. Legend had it that the flying zombie was close to the corpse king and could kill immortals and devour gods. If the demon advanced further, it would become a Hou, a monster that specialized in eating dragons in mythological stories.
If Priest Zhang wanted to ask him for help in subduing the flying zombies, Xia Yuyang felt that for someone like him who had yet to master martial arts, it was equivalent to giving him a proposition.
"Are you sure it's a flying zombie? There didn't seem to be a drought in J-City.”Xia Yuyang was really a little suspicious. In modern times, the probability of zombies appearing was very low, let alone this kind of zombie king level.
" It's just a suspicion at the moment. The special investigation department said that the victim's wound had white hair. After he was sent to the hospital, he was diagnosed with extreme malnutrition. At that time, he was sent for an emergency blood transfusion. Our initial judgment was that there was a white-haired zombie coming out to suck human blood. Later, we heard from the residents around the area where the zombie attacked that they had seen something flying in the forest accompanied by a terrifying roar. That's why I came up with the hypothesis of a white-haired flying zombie.”
According to Daoist Priest Zhang, just the ability to fly was not something that an ordinary zombie could do. The so-called zombie was a zombie. Its limbs were stiff, and its movements were stiff. It could only jump, not walk, and could not fly.
"Then what do you think we should do next?”He wondered if Xie Bian had any good ways to deal with the flying zombies. Zombies were not under the jurisdiction of the underworld, and the impermanence ghosts were probably not suitable for the job. To deal with zombies, it was better to be a Taoist priest.
"The flying zombie has been born, but there is no drought. I guess that the flying zombie has yet to recover its strength, or there are still some unsolved seals on its body. It has been appearing frequently in J City recently, and it should be looking for a suitable person to drink blood to recover its cultivation.”
Priest Zhang paused at this point, and Xia Yuyang suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Taoist priest, if you have something to say, say it."
"Flying Zombies like Yin, and they will choose people with Yin fate to absorb their blood essence. Unfortunately, none of my disciples fit the criteria…"
This skipping was really too clever! Xia Yuyang could not help but complain. Wasn't he just trying to use him as bait to fish out this flying zombie?
Just as Xia Yuyang was thinking about it, he might as well grit his teeth and agree. Priest Zhang added," Of course, there's a better way. It's that malicious ghost from Director Fu's production team. Zombies have always used resentment as their power. Blood essence is just their food. The true way to cultivate is to have sufficient resentment. If we can lure that malicious ghost over, we might be able to kill two birds with one stone."”
To be honest, Priest Zhang, this malicious ghost had yet to show up. His life was not over yet, and he could not seduce the ghost even if he wanted to go to the underworld. Moreover, he still had lingering hatred and had not killed the scumbag. It was obvious that Fang Xiao would not show up easily.
"Tonight, I will go to the underworld to investigate something. I will come back tomorrow to discuss countermeasures with you.”Xia Yuyang thought about it and decided to get Fang Xiao's birth characters. A rational malicious ghost should be easier to defeat than a ferocious zombie.
"Then I'll leave it to you, young friend. As long as the flying zombie is not eliminated, J City will not be able to escape from danger.”
"Take it one step at a time. The human world is not peaceful now. Taoist priest, you should pay more attention to the news from all sides.”In the end, Xia Yuyang did not tell him about the Shen clan. Whether Priest Zhang was trustworthy or not was still to be seen.
"Oh right, what about Shanhai Town? I'll have an explanation when I go back.”In Director Fu's heart, Shanhai Town was the most important thing now. If he forgot about this, he would not be able to report back.
"Shanhai Town has to face the evil aura. Little friend, get Director Fu to set up a table on the balcony of that building. Shanhai Town is facing the sharp knife in the northwest corner. After you place it, don't move it easily. Be careful not to be knocked over by someone, and don't let Shanhai Town see blood.”
