；“This matter must be reported to the elder,” Wu Ling spoke again, his tone more solemn.
"Well, under this situation, even if it were reported to He Youtiang the elder, do you think it would be useful? The method of capturing souls is likely Taoist magic. Not only would the elders have no way to deal with it but it would also distract them." Tao Zhi said in a casual manner.
"What means do you have, Tao brother, to rescue Old Gong?” Wu Ling looked earnestly at Tao Zhi.
I saw through them in just a few words.
Old Gong deceives them and they believe him.
They would prefer to take the initiative and take charge of this matter.
If Old Gong is truly captured by the soul-capturing method, can he come back?
Wu Ling and Tao Zhi would only think of ways to make the supposed rescue fail and delay time.
Well, this is just what I want.
Therefore, I looked at Tao Zhi with an urgent expression.
"In a suitable place, set up a Feng Shui array and place Old Gong's vehicle in it. With the nourishment of Feng Shui, his soul must become stronger. Repeat this to enhance it. Then, the person who took him away will have to bear the consequences." Tao Zhi spoke decisively.
My expression remained unchanged, but my heart palpitated.
Tao Zhi's appetite is quite large, opening his mouth with something like a vehicle.
If we give this to them, even if Old Gong is fine, he'll have problems!
"Master Lu, you can rest assured that the Feng Shui array I set up will not have any issues. It can ensure Old Gong's safety and well-being. Moreover, once a Taoist master engages in a competition with others in terms of Feng Shui, it's a battle to the death." He looked at me seriously.
This has put me in a difficult position. I can't give it to them, but if I don't, it would mean expressing my doubts to them.
Dealing with Taoist and Yin-Yang masters is indeed very troublesome.
Thoughts crossing my mind, I spoke again: "I can give the vehicle of residence, but I still think it's better to tell Big Brother. The plague ghost is troublesome, but it hasn't reached this extent. I suspect that this matter is related to Mao San."
"If you two fight and suffer backlash, ending up with injuries or even death, I won't know how to explain this to the Yu Tai Tao Chang, and Wu Ling cannot rashly use a Feng Shui array. If anything happens to him, I also won't be able to explain to the rest of the elders."
In a roundabout way, I tried to avoid mentioning the essence of the matter. This is also one of the details that Master Gong gave me. One can answer questions about one thing without lying and giving false answers.
"This... Master Lu's concern is not without reason, but it would indeed delay some time." Tao Zhi glanced outside the window.
I remained silent, pressing my hand on my brow, acting as if I were in a state of difficulty.
Wu Ling and Tao Zhi did not continue speaking. They did not suspect anything, most likely, they were secretly rejoicing in their hearts?
The car finally came to a halt.
What I saw in front of me was a high-rise building, so familiar. The upper floors were the residence of the Huangsi people, while the lower three floors were the headquarters of the Huangsi.
I could see a large circle of talismans, coins, and various types of copper swords, as well as Taoist artefacts such as plum wood swords.
Between each piece of artifact, several sticks of purple incense were inserted, which was obviously Tang Wubu's work!
As expected, when the large forces from all the Taoist temples set out, they notified Tang Wubu to try to trap the plague ghost. He truly succeeded in doing so.
The difference between the plague ghost and a true person is indeed significant. Although the body of the true person is that of the plague ghost, if a true person really starts to bind him, it would still be difficult for him to escape.
This is probably because of the plague ghost's base being here, and he doesn't want to give it up. It's not that Tang Wubu alone is stronger than the Miao family and Miao Su from Juqu Mountain.
The vehicles parked side by side on the roadside, and the disciples got off one after another, led by He Youtian, followed by Miao Xi, Miao Su, Zhang Canglang, Liu Yujie, and behind them were the red-robed elders.
Tang Wubu walked from a distance, and at this moment, he looked a bit tired. It seems that hosting such a large venerable site has put a considerable amount of pressure on him.
He Youtian performed a junior generation ritual, while the other several true men and elders greeted each other with a handshake. The reason is even simpler. He Youtian likes Tang Ye, who is also Tang Wubu's daughter. For He Youtian, who values rules, he is equivalent to a junior generation member.
"Hard work, Master Zhu Xiang! You've sealed off the path of the plague ghost and also arranged for the disciples and elders from Yunjin Mountain to go to various array focal points to reinforce this sealing!" Miao Xi said solemnly.
Zhang Canglang began to arrange things, and the disciples followed his instructions, going to various places with purple incense placed there. Of course, it was not just this small area. Everyone needed to keep an eye on the entire building, which is why Tang Wu was so exhausted.
Tang Wubu and Zhang Canglang worked together on the arrangements, both looking very busy.
In fact, before I moved forward, Tao Zhi subtly said, "At this critical moment, it might be better not to inform Elder He Youtian just yet. Everyone's full attention is on the plague ghost. You are concerned about our safety, and you don't want us to intervene directly. I suggest we wait a bit. After all, Old Gong's soul is quite heavy; it should not lead to any major incidents."
When Tao Zhi said this, Wu Ling's eyebrows and eyes revealed a deliberate hesitation, with a doubtful expression.
All this time, I had everything in sight, saying, "Just as Mr. Tao said, indeed, Old Gong was also taken away by Master QU before. It should not be a problem."
Tao Zhi nodded repeatedly, looking much more steady.
I think it's a matter of level. Wu Zhongkuan himself is a senior master, and his reputation for the mystic tooth golden armor is widespread. Moreover, Old Gong has been taken by other Yin-Yang masters before, making him stronger in terms of calculation skills compared to Wu Zhongkuan before.
Even when combined, Tao Zhi and Wu Ling are much smaller fish compared to him, unable to outmatch him in calculations.
Old Gong is out making strategies, and the two of them are here happily delaying time.
Completely arrogant and self-righteous.
Before you know it, an hour had passed.
The disciples and elders who came with us have been mostly sent away. Tang Wu is still left to preside over the array, and besides me and Wu Ling, the remaining disciples are from Juqu Mountain, as well as the true men.
He Youtian called me over and said, "Xian Shen, you are familiar with the layout of the lower ground. Come with us. Wu Ling, follow Mr. Tao and Mr. Zhu Xiang next to Master Zhu Xiang. If there are any things, follow orders."
"Obedient." Wu Ling bowed deeply and expressed his understanding by giving Tao Zhi a respectful bow as well.
He Youtian looked at Zhang Canglang, Miao Xi, Miao Su, and Liu Yujie one by one, and finally at the more than twenty disciples from Juqu Mountain.
"Hold on to the talismans, and don't panic when you see the plague ghost. Follow the orientation to set up your array, and respond to the internal array. We will have five true people nearby, so there will be no problem."
In just a few words, I understood what they were going to do.
"Xian Shen, you will lead the way at the front. Take this item; make sure to stay safe." He Youtian took out a Four Regulations Bright Mirror and threw it to me.
The looks of the surrounding people towards me were filled with a sense of respect.
I only now understand that He Youtian was boosting my presence. Although the dangerous task was to be carried out by Juqu Mountain, I, as the leading path, had to walk in front of them, naturally generating respect from the crowd.
"Xian Shen young friend, this daring adventure, we Juqu Mountain will remember it in our hearts. Thank you for your efforts." Miao Xi said with a particularly deep sigh and made a gesture of invitation.
