I am a fairy

Chapter 196 Creepy

Emperor Wen Zhao was expecting his Yin-Yang Taoist to take him to the immortal heaven. That day, Wen Zhao and the Taoist priest sat down and discussed Taoism, agreeing to achieve immortality together.

However, after Yin Yang Zhenren went back, no news came from him on the second and third days, and he did not come to the palace to discuss Taoism or preach again.

Fourth day.

Emperor Wen Zhao sent someone to inquire, and only then did he learn that the Yin-Yang Taoist priest had passed away after returning from the palace that day.

Because the Yin-Yang Taoist had come back to life before, even though the disciples saw that the Taoist had stopped breathing, they still did not dare to bury him.

And after the old Taoist returned, he instructed his disciples.

"After I die, do not move my body. Close the door tightly and do not allow anyone to enter or leave."

However, the old Taoist's body did not decay after his death and even emitted a strange smell, which was also a strange thing.

It was not until a few days later that the disciples, summoned by His Majesty, nervously opened the door and took a look.

But found out.

There was only a Taoist robe left in the quiet room, but the old Taoist was gone.

Inside a palace deep in the imperial city.

"died?"

"Really dead."

Emperor Wen Zhaochu heard that the Yin-Yang Taoist had died, and his disciples discovered that he had not even breathed.

Not only was he not disappointed, but he was overjoyed.

Because the old Yin-Yang Taoist had said before that he used his own secret technique to refine the elixir, and used the method of death transformation to cultivate Taoism to become an immortal, and he was only one step away from perfection after going through eight times.

Now it seems that the old Taoist has accomplished his goal.

Then he heard the disciple opened the quiet room and saw only the Taoist robes inside, but no one was seen. He was so happy that his face became even darker and redder, and he spoke excitedly.

"Master Yin Yang really didn't lie to me!"

"He has already mastered the Dafa and achieved immortality."

However, Emperor Wen Zhao then began to have doubts, wondering whether the old Taoist priest of Yin and Yang would do as he said.

Since he has already achieved immortality, what can he do to the Yin-Yang Taoist if he doesn't come back to achieve immortality with him?

Thinking of this, Emperor Wen Zhao became anxious.

"Immediately give the order to keep an eye on Yun Zhendao..."

Eunuch Ma Fu immediately understood what Emperor Wen Zhao meant and spoke up.

"Yun Zhen Dao leads all the disciples of Daoism in the world. Many temple priests in various states and counties come from Yun Zhen Dao's sect. They have a heavy responsibility!"

What I mean is, these people cannot be touched, Your Majesty, you have to be careful!
Emperor Wen Zhao suddenly came to his senses, but he still did not give up.

"Issue an order to invite all of Yin Yang Zhenren's disciples to the palace to hold the Ascension Ceremony to celebrate Zhenren's shedding his mortal body and ascending to heaven."

Wen Zhao’s meaning was very clear. If the Yin-Yang Taoist priest did not come down, then he would send his disciples up.

Emperor Wen Zhao had a sinister look on his face.

After escaping death, he was not freed from the great terror of life and death, but instead fell deeper into it.

In this vast sea of ​​desire in this earthly world, how many people can comprehend it?

Eunuch Ma Fu felt that this matter was inappropriate and indeed a bit weird.

The old Yin-Yang Taoist has always been obedient to Lord Linghua, and Lord Linghua said that there is no immortal emperor in the world. Let alone whether the old Yin-Yang Taoist really has the means to achieve immortality, even if he does, how dare he use it?
"Should we ask the Imperial Master about this?"

The emperor shook his head, his expression somewhat unsightly, his eyes uncertain.

Emperor Wen Zhao had naturally great respect for the Imperial Master, but when Imperial Master Linghua repeatedly rejected his "reasonable" requests, he naturally felt some resentment towards him.

The fact that he was controlling the Taoists of Yun Zhen Dao was also an indirect way of expressing his dissatisfaction with the National Master Ling Hua Jun.

"The Imperial Master once said that since ancient times, there has never been an immortal emperor in the world. It is better not to embarrass the Imperial Master on this matter."

"Since the Imperial Master is not available, the Yin Yang Master has a secret method of immortality to teach me."

"The Imperial Master must have tacitly approved this matter, but it is difficult to say it to his face. If we disturb the Imperial Master's meditation at this time because of this matter, it will be bad."

Emperor Wen Zhao made the decision, and eunuch Ma Fu had no choice.

Soon all of Yin Yang Zhenren's disciples and followers were invited to the palace to hold an ascension ceremony for their master who had already achieved "immortality".

just.

The emperor had already made various preparations, and had determined that the Yin-Yang Taoist had achieved immortality through cultivation. He also set the date for the ascension ceremony on the seventh day after the Taoist's death.

The disciples of Yin Yang Zhenren were completely confused and had no idea that their master had already "attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven."

The disciples received the order and gathered in the palace, bringing various magical instruments, long banners, rattles, and talisman papers as required.

The Taoists were excited when they saw the imperial edict and the eunuch who read it out.

"What, Master ascended to heaven?"

"How come we were totally unaware of this?"

"Is it because the master hid it too deeply?"

The disciples looked at each other, wondering if they were the only ones who didn't know, or if the master had passed on some magical method to others and not to them.

Once the chain of suspicion and doubt is started, it seems that everyone you look at has problems.

But this is not important. As long as the Ascension Ceremony can be held successfully, everything will be fine.

The master has become an immortal, so it shouldn’t be difficult to take them with him, right?

that's it.

Everyone began the preparation process with great anticipation, bathing, cleansing themselves, fasting and worshipping the gods.

They prayed to the Nine Heavens Gods above and reported to the Nine Netherworlds below, and it was not until the seventh day after the Yin-Yang Taoist priest passed away that the so-called ascension ceremony began.

The person is gone, so the protagonist becomes the Taoist robe and shoes left by the Yin-Yang Taoist.

But people have already "ascended", so it seems a little late to hold a ceremony at this time. However, this is not important. What is important is to remind those who have "ascended" that there are still some unfinished things in the human world.

The Taoist robe and shoes of Yin Yang Zhenren were enshrined on the altar.

The disciples below were cramming at the last minute, flipping through the unregistered and uncertified secret book of immortals left by the Yin-Yang Taoist, studying how to hold this so-called ascension ceremony.

Finally, the eldest disciple had experience and spoke immediately.

"Haven't we done this once before?"

"When? Why can't I remember?"

"It was when we were still at Ziyun Peak."

"When are we going to...oh...I remember now, but that was not the Ascension Ceremony, but the Entry Ceremony!"

"Ascending to the sky, descending into the earth, aren't these the same thing?"

All the disciples suddenly understood and immediately knew what to do.

soon.

Inside the palace, music and drums began to be played, and a group of Taoists put on Taoist robes and began to perform rituals.

Everyone had a solemn expression, and the Taoist children in the lead were holding high flags and waving them vigorously, as if they were afraid that others might not see them.

Behind the pearl curtain screen in the depths, the emperor nodded when he saw this scene. These disciples of Yin Yang Zhenren looked quite good. It was obvious that they were experienced and not ordinary people.

At least from the looks of it, this ascension ceremony was done in a proper manner, with sounds of ritual music and orderly steps.

The emperor sent someone to ask him why he was waving the flag so violently, and he answered.

"This is so that the immortals in the sky can see it, so as not to take the wrong path!"

The eunuch came back to report, and the emperor nodded gently.

"That's right, it must be seen by the heavens. Otherwise, how can Yin Yang Master know about the grand ceremony we are holding for him?"

The eunuch Ma Fu beside the emperor frowned, thinking this was a bit strange.

"Lest the immortal take the wrong path?"

The ceremony continued. Behind the Taoist boy holding the flags, the Taoists rang copper bells. Then others shouted prayers and circled the altar again and again.

But Ma Fu, who was standing next to the emperor, felt this was getting weirder the more he looked at it.

They circled around the altar, which looked more like they were circling around a coffin.

They were waving this flag, and even though it was painted with other colors, it felt like it should be white.

What's even worse is that.

These disciples were clearly supposed to recite words of congratulations to Yin Yang Zhenren for his ascension, but as they were reciting, some of them unconsciously mumbled and shouted.

"Master, please come down to earth."

While shouting, these Taoists also scattered talisman papers.

It doesn't look like talisman paper, but more like paper money for the dead.

This scene is really weird.
-
The old Taoist once told Wen Shenyou that he would find a chance to come and see him after he went down, but he didn't keep his word.

But what he said to Emperor Wen Zhao was what he did.

The ascension ceremony of Yin Yang Zhenren was held for a whole day, but there was no movement. It was as if the immortal in the sky was blind. He could not see the violent waving flags on the ground, nor could he hear the rhythmic gongs and drums. He did not know where he had gone. But as night fell, Emperor Wen Zhao's face became more and more ugly.

he does not know.

Is it that the Yin-Yang Master has not become an immortal and everything is just a scam, or is it that the Yin-Yang Master has become an immortal but is not prepared to fulfill his promise.

But no matter which one it is, it makes no difference to Emperor Wen Zhao.

He couldn't get what he wanted, so someone had to take the responsibility and face the emperor's wrath.

suddenly.

The wind blew in from somewhere outside, and all the doors and windows opened.

"Shhhhhh!"

All the candles inside and outside the palace were extinguished at once, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

"what happened?"

"Where did this strange wind come from?"

"Something's broken in."

"Guard you, escort you."

The emperor was sitting behind a pearl curtain and a screen, and was sitting peacefully at first, but anger gradually grew in his heart. He was thinking about how to deal with the disciples of the Yin-Yang Taoist priest and how he could obtain the method of immortality.

The strange wind not only blew out the lights, but also blew the screen to the ground, forcing him to lift up his sleeves to block the wind.

But gradually, he discovered that the voices of the people around him began to become smaller, and finally he found that the people around him disappeared.

At the same time, a man holding a lantern walked out of the darkness and approached him step by step.

In the darkness, the emperor was terrified. He wanted to find a place to hide but there was nowhere to hide. While he was hesitating, the figure had already approached him.

He could only stand up and shout loudly.

"Who are you?"

"Now that you have met the emperor, why don't you bow?"

The figure finally walked in front of the emperor and called out.

"Your Majesty, I am here to pick you up."

The man raised the lantern in his hand, illuminating the emperor and his own face. The man was none other than the Yin-Yang Taoist priest.

After Emperor Wen Zhao was shocked, he was overjoyed.

"Master Yin Yang, what are you doing?"

The old Yin-Yang Taoist said, "Didn't I say that I would come to meet Your Majesty to share the immortal way and immortality? Now that I have come as promised, how come Your Majesty doesn't recognize me?"

After Emperor Wen Zhao confirmed it, he said in great joy: "The Immortal is here to take me to the fairyland for a tour. This is not necessary. If there is a magic method or magical power that can make me immortal, just give it to me directly. I have no intention of leaving the human world yet."

The old Yin-Yang Taoist said, "This method cannot be used in the human world. It can only be used in another place."

After saying this, the old Taoist took Emperor Wen Zhao directly to the place he mentioned, and Wen Zhao followed him without realizing it.

But on the way, Wen Zhao thought more and more that something was not right.

Why didn't the Yin-Yang Taoist show up in broad daylight, but instead appeared as soon as it got dark?

Moreover, the way this Taoist appeared was also very strange. He was accompanied by a gust of strange wind, and then he came over in the darkness holding a lantern. He didn't look like an immortal at all.

Wen Zhao had no way to leave, so he could only follow the Yin-Yang Taoist priest and move forward. In the darkness, Wen Zhao felt as if he had walked across a vast land and then boarded a ship.

Then, I saw a strange area.

At first glance, this place seems empty, but in the distance there are densely packed coffins, and thousands of coffins are piled up there to form a mountain.

The old Taoist priest was holding a lantern and standing at the foot of the mountain of coffins, looking at him.

Wen Zhao felt as if his scalp was exploding in an instant, and he screamed and shouted in shock.

"Where is this?"

"Why did you bring me here?"

The old Yin-Yang Taoist grinned: "Your Majesty, this is the fairyland. I am here to bring you immortality. How could Your Majesty forget it again?"

Wen Zhao looked around and wanted to escape in panic, but as he took a step back, he knocked over something.

Wen Zhao turned his head and immediately started to yell and rebuke loudly as if he had found some evidence.

"You said this is the fairyland, but on this stone tablet, it clearly says it is the Hell of Unregenerate Corpses."

"Master Yin Yang, how dare you deceive me?"

The Yin-Yang Taoist priest chuckled, and his face looked even more sinister under the lantern. At this time, Wen Zhao also saw the whole picture of the Yin-Yang Taoist priest clearly.

His face was not a real face at all, but a face painted on a mask. However, because it was too vivid and similar to the Yin-Yang Taoist priest, it looked like a real face in the darkness.

It is clear that this old Taoist is no longer a human being.

The mountain of coffins behind the old Taoist suddenly collapsed, revealing corpses with poisonous spots on their bodies that looked like zombies. However, the old Taoist remained unmoved and spoke.

"Not turning into a corpse, this is immortality!"

"Isn't hell the fairyland of ghosts and immortals?"

"If you take too many pills, your body will become stiff in a short time. After taking them, you will feel irritable and depressed, and your mind will be dulled like a walking corpse."

"After death, one will go to the hell of unbroken bones."

"Wen Zhao!"

Emperor Wen Zhao was so frightened that he woke up with a start on the spot, and at this time the lights in the hall had already been lit.

Emperor Wen Zhao was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. Ma Fu went forward to support him, but found that the lower half of Emperor Wen Zhao's body was completely unable to move. Only his mouth was still talking and his hands were waving wildly.

"Lu Yin Yang is here to take revenge on me. Lu Yin Yang is here to take revenge on me."

After saying this, he fainted.

But it doesn’t end there.

The next day, the emperor's condition improved a little and he was able to stand up and walk a few laps.

However, just as it got dark, another gust of strange wind blew, and the Yin-Yang Taoist priest came again.

That familiar cry came from the darkness again.

"Your Majesty, I am here to pick you up."

The noises around became quieter and quieter. The palace maids and guards who had originally surrounded the bed disappeared one after another, and finally Wen Zhao was the only one left in the palace.

Emperor Wen Zhao wanted to escape, but suddenly fell to the ground. He kept slapping his legs to try to stand up, but in the end he could only point at the approaching figure and shout tremblingly.

"Don't come here, don't come here."

But Wen Zhao had already understood that Lu Yinyang was not here to take Emperor Wen Zhao to become an immortal, but to take Wen Zhao to hell.

After the next day, Wen Zhao could still move his body, but he was so frightened that his mouth and tongue were crooked and he couldn't even speak.

By the third day, Wen Zhao went completely crazy.

at this time.

The palace was filled with rumors that the emperor was being hunted by an evil ghost, and that evil ghost turned out to be Yin Yang Zhenren, the Taoist master of Yun Zhen Dao.

This rumor is really horrifying and also makes people think a lot.

According to rumors, some people even actually saw the shadow of an evil ghost. Apart from anything else, many people had seen with their own eyes the strange wind that blew every night.

"How did that Yin-Yang Taoist become an evil ghost?"

"Don't you know that in order to achieve immortality, Your Majesty forced the Yin Yang Taoist to death? The Yin Yang Taoist died unwillingly, and after death he turned into a fierce ghost and came to seek revenge on Your Majesty."

"I heard that His Majesty has been making things difficult for Yun Zhendao and some Taoists recently, but I didn't know that things have reached this point."

"That Yin Yang Master is not someone you can easily mess with. He is a world-famous master of the Way. I heard that before he died, he ordered his disciples to guard his corpse and not to move it. I'm afraid he did something evil to cast a spell on the emperor."

"This is a big deal."
-
On the Imperial Road of the Imperial City.

Lord Linghua's imperial carriage was traveling in it, and the eunuch Ma Fu was trotting in front, looking inside anxiously.

However, as the imperial carriage arrived deep in the imperial city, they heard the sound of bells in the distance, followed by wailing, and a large group of monks holding white lanterns took down all the original golden and red lanterns.

Ma Fu's face turned pale and he understood something instantly.

That means the emperor is dying.

Linghua Jun was sitting in the divine chariot, and he could see the situation outside through the gauze curtain, and the voice came from inside.

"It looks like there's no need to go."

In the strange and solemn atmosphere, Linghua Jun looked towards a corner of the palace.

"Whoosh!"

She looked through the image of the god and saw a Taoist priest dressed in underworld clothes, holding a lantern.

But in an instant, the Taoist disappeared.

That was the afterimage that the shaman saw by tracing the surrounding aura, or to be more precise, the replayed video.

However, this also proves that the other party had indeed been here not long ago.
