Chapter 1 Born to be Wonderful(1/2)
In the Sanqing Continent, on the top of the Purple Mountain, an old man in plain robes was sitting in the middle of a magic circle.
Everyone in the entire continent knows this old man, just because he is the number one person in the continent, the Sanqing Demon Immortal!
"This path is still wrong, Curse Heaven, I will be reincarnated again with my memories, and the Immortal Sect will be left to you!" Sanqing Demon Fairy shouted.
Then a young man in purple appeared and said: "Master Demon Immortal, you have walked the mortal road, been on the immortal path, and entered the devil's realm. Now you are the number one Demon Immortal in the mainland, but you still want to be reincarnated? What are you looking for?"
Sanqing Demon Immortal Youyou replied: "Immortals are no longer immortals, humans are no longer human, the way of heaven is vague, and man-made disasters are coming... Don't worry, if it's quick, we can meet again in a hundred years, and Sanqing Immortal Sect will leave it to you for the time being!"
"Where are you going to be reincarnated this time?" Curse Tian asked.
"The Lost Continent!"
Curse Tian didn't understand very much, "You mean that mortal continent? There is no immortal magic there, and the people there are mortal bodies and can't even cultivate immortality. Why are you going there?"
"I feel like the answer I want is there!" Sanqing Demon Fairy said firmly.
"Well, it seems I can't stop you anymore. I can only wish you a safe journey!"
Sanqing Demon Fairy nodded, and then shouted, "Reincarnation Array, activate!"
After a while, a huge whirlpool of reincarnation appeared under the Sanqing Demon Fairy and pulled him into it.
The vortex of reincarnation is indescribable. If ordinary people stare at it for a long time, their souls will be sucked into it. Even Curse Heaven dare not look directly at it. Only the Three Pure Demon Immortals can reincarnate with their memories.
The Sanqing Demon Immortal had already been dragged deep into the vortex of reincarnation. His eyes suddenly widened, "No, there is something wrong with the reincarnation circle. My memory is disappearing..."
However, before the Sanqing Demon Fairy could finish his words, he was swallowed up by the whirlpool of reincarnation, disappeared, and was reincarnated!
The vortex of reincarnation was closed. At this time, the young man in purple cursed the sky and sneered: "See you in a hundred years? I have been with you for so many lives, and I have no time to play with you anymore. This time you can really reincarnate!"
"Dharma protector, something bad will happen!" A man in black suddenly appeared and said.
"What's the matter?"
"The blood talisman is gone!"
"What!" Jutian was shocked.
The blood talisman is the foundation of the Sanqing Immortal Sect. It is a token used to command the world, and it is also a supreme treasure. How could it disappear?
Curse Tian quickly started to deduce, and after a while he understood, "Damn old man! He actually tied the blood talisman to himself!"
Curse Tian immediately ordered, "Go, no matter what, find the Lost Continent for me and get the blood talisman back!"
…
Six years later, in a small town on the deserted continent, in a deserted city, the roads were covered with white paper, and the sound of mourning could still be heard faintly. It was unknown whose old man died, which suppressed the atmosphere of the town.
What's even more strange is that many people are talking about it, and the funeral people even hired many people to guard around the mourning hall, as if they were on guard against something.
Logically speaking, birth, old age, illness and death are normal things, so it wouldn't cause such an uproar, but there was still an unusual aura surrounding it.
Slowly, the night has deepened, and everything is quiet. Occasionally, you can hear a few cats meowing, but nothing weird happens...
However, a howling sound suddenly came from the mourning hall, "No... no more! Ghost!"
This sound woke up many people around, and a white-haired old man murmured tremblingly: "If you don't accumulate good deeds during your lifetime, you won't be able to live peacefully after your death..."
The next day, the east gradually became brighter, and a ray of light pierced the darkness and fell on the boundary of Tuozhou.
Tuozhou is located on the southern border of the Minghui Dynasty, adjacent to wild tribes. There are occasional wars, and it is an important military fortress of the Minghui Dynasty.
In the magistrate's mansion of Yuyu County, Tuozhou, the magistrate's wife and their son were having breakfast when they were rushing in.
"Report, Mr. Xiao!" The arrester stood in front of the magistrate's dining table.
The magistrate quickly stopped what he was doing and said, "Jianyu, you are in such a hurry so early, but what's the important thing?"
"Sit down and talk slowly, have you had breakfast? Let's talk while we eat, come here." The person who spoke was Lan Ying, the wife of the county magistrate. She didn't accept strangers and asked the head catcher to sit down.
The county magistrate is named Xiao Bang, and the catcher is named Feng Jianyu. The stability of Yuyu County is maintained by these two, so they have a very good relationship and usually don't see each other outside.
Feng Jianyu hesitated for a long time without saying anything. He glanced at Chopin's son and said, "There is a kid here, so I'm afraid I'll scare him..."
Chopin smiled and said, "You are already six years old. It's time to gain knowledge. Don't be scared. Don't worry. It's okay."
Feng Jianyu then bowed and said, "Didn't the old man of the Liu family leave a few days ago?"
Well, there was a funeral yesterday..."
Upon hearing this, Chopin's face became serious again, and it was obvious that he knew what was going on.
Chopin rushed to ask: "Become a mummy again?"
"Ouch!" Chopin's wife Lan Ying quickly covered her son's ears, "Don't scare Xiao Qi."
Feng Jianyu quickly kept silent. Chopin waved his hand, indicating that it was okay and allowed Feng Jianyu to continue.
Feng Jianyu then continued to explain: "There have been several cases before, but Feng really couldn't find out the reason, so the matter has been suppressed, but now the Liu family is different. Mr. Liu is alive after turning into a mummy.
However, he has lost his humanity and bites people randomly! Now he is locked up by the Liu family, and the neighbors say it is haunted, making everyone panic! "
Xiao Bang was startled. He didn't expect the situation to be serious this time. "Let's go and stabilize the Liu family first, and then go to the scene to investigate. I don't believe there is a ghost!"
After Xiao Bang finished speaking, he walked towards the door, and Feng Jianyu also stood up.
"I haven't finished eating yet..." Lan Ying stood up and scolded.
At this time, Chopin's son also took the opportunity to run to Chopin's feet and hugged him to prevent him from leaving.
Chopin glared at his youngest son angrily and laughed, "Naughty boy, your Uncle Feng and I are going to do something. You can go and play by yourself."
Then Chopin turned around and said to Lan Ying: "Don't worry, I'll be back tonight."
After Xiao Bang finished speaking, he left with Feng Jianyu, and his son sat back to have breakfast obediently.
Lan Ying touched her youngest son's head and said, "Xiao Qi, you are good, but when will you be able to speak? Come on, call me mother."
Chopin's son is named Xiao Xiaoqi. He is six years old. Although he has already known everything, he still can't speak. No matter how much Chopin teaches him, he can't teach him.
Xiao Xiaoqi just nodded to his mother and still didn't say anything, which once again made his mother worried.
But from an angle that no one could see, Xiao Xiaoqi showed a meaningful smile. It was really weird. This behavior was not suitable for his age group.
After eating, Xiao Xiaoqi returned to his room. He opened the window and began to meditate and adjust his breath in front of Chu Yang.
Xiao Xiaoqi also occasionally heard about what Feng Jianyu just said.
This is a strange thing that happened recently. When people held funerals in many places, the blood of the deceased was taken and turned into mummies. They looked horrible and scary.
What is confusing is that no one was in or out of the mourning hall at the time of the incident. It can be said that this was a secret room case.
Furthermore, even if you are an enemy, you won’t draw blood after someone dies. What’s the purpose?
Ordinary people can't figure it out and think that someone is pretending to be a ghost, but Xiao Xiaoqi doesn't think so.
And this time, we can verify whether he is right, because this time is different from the past. This time the mummy is alive, leaving more clues. The answer will be known only when Chopin comes back.
The difference between Xiao Xiaoqi and ordinary people is not that he cannot speak, but that his eyes can see things that others cannot.
For example, he could see traces of purple energy floating in the air on the first day, so he would meditate every day to induce the purple energy to temper his body.
…
After noon, Xiao Bang, who originally said he would go home in the evening, returned to Xiao's house early. His trousers were scorched black, and he was cursing as he walked away.
"What's going on?" Lan Ying, the county magistrate's wife, heard the sound and came over.
Chopin did not answer Lan Ying, but went directly to his room.
Lan Ying had no choice but to ask Feng Jianyu, who was following behind, "What happened? Were you burned?"
Feng Jianyu scratched his head, "It's weird. As soon as you saw Mr. Liu's mummy, your trousers caught fire. Fortunately, the skin and flesh were not injured. What's even more strange is that Mr. Liu's mummy also suddenly caught fire and burned away."
"There are such weird things? Could it be..." Lan Ying originally wanted to say it was haunted, but suddenly changed her mind, "Bah, bah, bah, just be fine."
As for what Feng Jianyu said, Xiao Xiaoqi hid on the side and listened. In fact, it was him who took the opportunity to stick a charm on Chopin's trousers before Chopin went out in the morning.
If Xiao Xiaoqi's guess is correct and there is some kind of strange power at the scene, then Fu Ran!
Now that Chopard's pants are burned, it shows that there are some supernatural forces at the scene, and it also proves some of Xiao Xiaoqi's guesses.
Soon Chopin changed his clothes and came out, summoning Feng Jianyu, "Anyone has a funeral recently?"
Feng Jianyu replied: "We have collected it, and what a coincidence, there will be a funeral for a family in the West Market tomorrow!"
Chopin immediately ordered, "Calling all the arrestees on duty to secretly surround the mourning hall in West City. I don't believe we can't catch the thief!"
Lan Ying quickly persuaded Xiao Bang, "Don't be reckless, I will go to Shanling Temple to ask for a talisman for you...
…”
However, Chopin interrupted Lan Ying and said, "Nonsense, there are no ghosts and gods in the world..."
Lan Ying also did not give Chopin any face, "Just in case, just for peace of mind."
After saying that Lan Ying had no intention of asking Xiao Bang for permission, she prepared things to go to Shanngling Temple, and also brought her son Xiao Xiaoqi with her.
It just so happened that Xiao Xiaoqi also needed to get some yellow talisman paper. What he would face this time was still unknown, so he needed to prepare in advance.
Shangling Temple is located in Changxing Ridge in the southwest of Tuozhou. It takes three or four hours to go back and forth from Xiaozhai.
Chopin asked Feng Jianyu to protect Lan Ying and her son, and also brought a maid, and the four of them set off in the afternoon.
