PFC Chapter 227 The Return of the Uncle Patriarch
Chapter 227 The Return of the Uncle Patriarch
"What? Someone was killed again? Who?"
"It's Wang Heng, the gatekeeper."
"What? Wang Heng was also killed. Damn it! That evil demon is here again."
"Damn demon."
"terrible."
Everyone in Taishu's mansion felt in danger. The guards in the mansion ran over one after another, and Taishu Xiaoyao also came.
Seeing how Wang Heng died, everyone's faces became uglier than each other.
Taishu Xiaoyao's gaze fell on Xu Changshou, and he choked up and said, "Senior Xu, have you seen that evil demon?"
"I see." Xu Changshou nodded.
Taishu Xiaoyao: "What does that evil demon look like?"
Xu Changshou thought for a moment and said, "It looks like a person, but it's too dark to see clearly what it looks like."
Although he said this, Xu Changshou knew in his heart that the black shadow just now was definitely not a human.
Such good jumping ability is not possessed by any other foundation-building cultivator.
If it were a human, his physical strength could at least be comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator, but if it were a Jindan cultivator, he would not do such a thing. A Jindan cultivator could fly in the air and would not jump away like that.
Xu Changshou felt that the black shadow was either a humanoid demon cultivator.
Or it could be the corpse of a cultivator.
It's unlikely that it's a demon cultivator. I've never heard of any demon cultivator that looks like a human, not to mention it's a demon cultivator that likes to dig out people's hearts.
It is more likely that it is the corpse of a cultivator. Moreover, he was very powerful when he was alive. He must have been a Jindan cultivator at the very least.
Of course, it couldn't simply be the corpse of a cultivator; it might be controlled by someone.
For example, Fengdu Peak of the Green Immortal Sect is a corpse refining lineage. They have the ability to control corpses, and every corpse refiner has his own corpse.
Xu Changshou felt that the black shadow might be someone's corpse.
If it was just a corpse, it would be easy to deal with. If we could find out who was behind the corpse, we could solve the problem.
There is another possibility. This black shadow is the corpse of a monk, but this monk has passed away or died. After who knows how many years, this corpse has developed intelligence on its own.
The red-clothed woman might be the corpse of a powerful being that developed intelligence, but after developing intelligence, she left the corpse of that powerful being and existed as a soul.
Another possibility is that the corpse develops intelligence, but the soul does not leave the body, but controls and resides in the body.
This is called corpse haunting.
Corpse hauntings like to follow people and then attack them from behind.
The "祟" in "鬼鬼祟" refers to the "尸祟".
Xu Changshou made a rough analysis and concluded that the black shadow looked a bit like a corpse, but not completely.
You know, corpses have low intelligence and brutal temperaments, and they won't be controlled by anyone. And this black shadow only attacks the cultivators of Taishu's family, which shows some traces of human intervention, and it seems more like it's here for revenge.
What exactly is it?
Is it a corpse?
If it was a corpse, why would it attack Taishu's family?
If it's not a corpse, then what is it?
Xu Changshou frowned and thought, but couldn't figure it out.
At this time, Taishu Xiaoyao asked the guards to carry away the deceased Wang Heng, and the place returned to its former tranquility.
Wang Heng’s death left the entire Taishu family sleepless.
Xu Changshou was not afraid.
As long as the black shadow is not a demon cultivator, Xu Changshou is not afraid no matter whether it is a corpse, an evil demon, or a corpse.
He has special means of restraint.
The corpse-breaking talisman is specifically used to control corpses.
The soul-capturing talisman can destroy the intelligence of corpses.
The demon-suppressing talisman can suppress all evil spirits.
With these three talismans, Xu Changshou is not afraid of any evil spirits.
Thinking of this, Xu Changshou took out the talisman paper and began to draw the talisman.
He drew ten second-grade soul-capturing talismans and ten second-grade demon-suppressing talismans respectively. He already had ten second-grade corpse-breaking talismans, so he didn't need to draw them for the time being.
After drawing these two kinds of talismans, Xu Changshou thought for a while and drew ten second-grade wind talismans.
The second-grade wind-speed talisman is even faster. When attached to the thigh, it can reach a speed of eight thousand miles a day.
The purpose of drawing the Wind-Moving Talisman was to deal with the black shadow. After all, the black shadow didn't seem to be able to fly. If he fought with it on the ground, Xu Changshou would have more flexibility by attaching the Wind-Moving Talisman.
After drawing the talisman, Xu Changshou crossed his legs and began to meditate.
Early in the morning, Taishu Xiaoyao came.
"Xiaoyao greets Senior Xu." Taishu Xiaoyao didn't dare to enter the door and spoke softly outside the door.
"Xiaoyao is here. What's the matter?" Xu Changshou opened his eyes and asked lightly.
"The ancestor of the family has returned and invited us to his dojo for a chat."
The head of the Taishu family is back...
Xu Changshou stood up, pushed the door open and walked out: "When did your patriarch come back?"
"just came back."
"Take me to him."
"Yes, Senior Xu, please follow me."
Xu Changshou followed Taishu Xiaoyao and walked towards the sixth courtyard.
At this time, there were many people in the yard, and most of the guards were there.
In the flower hall.
An old man with a white beard was sitting on the main seat, with a serious look on his face.
This person is none other than Tai Shuquan, the head of the Tai Shu family.
In addition, there were three foundation-building monks sitting in the hall, two men and one woman.
An old man, a bald middle-aged man, and a cold and beautiful middle-aged woman.
At this time, someone carried two bodies into the flower hall. They were the bodies of Li Hu and Wang Heng.
"Li Hu, Wang Heng, I'm so sorry for you. I never thought that you would be killed by my murderous hands after I left for a few days."
Tai Shuquan's face was filled with grief. He slowly walked over, looked at the two corpses, and said angrily, "Li Hu, Wang Heng, I swear I will kill the evil demon and avenge you."
At this time, the three foundation-building monks also came over to check the injuries of the two bodies.
After watching it, everyone looked worried, as if they had never seen such a situation before.
"Killing people and taking their hearts, what kind of evil is this? How bizarre."
"Yes, I have lived for over two hundred years and have never heard of such an evil demon."
"What the hell is this?"
The three were discussing when Xu Changshou walked in.
Seeing Xu Changshou, Tai Shuquan hurriedly clasped his fists and asked, "Excuse me, is this Fellow Daoist Xu?"
"Exactly."
"I am Tai Shuquan, a Taoist priest. I have been busy with trivial matters these past two days and have neglected Taoist Xu. Please don't blame me."
"You're too polite, fellow Daoist Taishu."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Tai Shuquan looked at the three people and said, "This is Fellow Daoist Xu Changshou."
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xu." The three of them bowed slightly.
Xu Changshou returned the greeting: "Greetings to the three Taoist friends."
"let me introduce."
Tai Shuquan pointed at the old man and said, "This is Bai Nianxian, Fellow Daoist Bai."
"Friends from the white world." Xu Changshou bowed again.
Then, Tai Shuquan pointed at the man and woman and introduced them, "This is Fellow Daoist Feng Lingjun, and this is Fellow Daoist Luan Feng."
"Fellow Daoist Feng, Fellow Daoist Luan, hello."
Xu Changshou smiled and bowed to them one by one.
These three people also took on Tai Shuquan's task.
After the introductions, Tai Shuquan clasped his fists and said, "Four Daoist friends, thank you for coming to help my Taishu family eliminate demons and defend the Dao."
Xu Changshou and the other three nodded slightly without saying much. Since they had accepted the task, they would naturally do the work for them.
Bai Nianxian, the oldest, looked at Xu Changshou and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, I heard that you have seen that evil demon. Can you tell me about it?"
