I am a fairy

Chapter 263 This Thing Cannot Stay in the Human World
late at night.

The entire Huajing City seemed to be on fire. It suddenly became boiling, and the situation gradually escalated.

First, a large number of soldiers and runners shuttled back and forth between the banks of the canals and rivers in the city, constantly searching for something along the canals and rivers. Some people were also searching for corpses in the water along the canals and Donghua River.

"Hurry up."

"what happened?"

"problem occurs."

"Someone suddenly disappeared in the Imperial Master's Mansion. We must find this person quickly."

"Maybe he slipped and fell into the water. This person has a different identity. We must find his body."

"He's dead. How can we find his body if it falls into the Donghua River?"

"This person is not only of great status, but most importantly, he is from the Imperial Master's Mansion. Who knows if he has any magical tools on him? We must find them back."

"How could such a powerful person fall into the water and drown?"

"Could it be that he was harmed by a ghost in the water?"

"Is this a ghost? Could something like this happen in the Imperial Master's Mansion?"

Not long after that, the soldiers and servants received the message that they were not required to look for anyone and were told to go back.

"Why aren't you looking for it again?"

"Already found?"

"Don't ask, I won't look for it anyway."

"It's really weird..."

On the way back, these soldiers and servants saw even more bizarre scenes.

There was a dragon howling in the river, and some people even saw the shadows of ghosts and gods appearing on the Donghua River, calling out someone's name.

"Roar!"

Everyone then realized that the situation had escalated.

I just asked them to find it, which is still a human thing.

And now, even the dragon in the river and the ghosts and gods on the shore have begun to look for the trace of the man named Xiong Hai.

Things have come to this point, and it is no longer something that mortals like them can intervene in.

At this moment.

The Taoist Danhe Taoist, the Buddhist monks from the Samsara Temple, and Jia Gui from the Sitiantai, rushed to the Imperial Master's Mansion overnight.

Taoist Danhe was riding in a carriage through the long street. When he heard the dragon's roar, it felt like a bolt of thunder fell from the sky.

Taoist Danhe lifted the curtain and looked outside.

"what happened?"

"Could it be that something big happened?"

It was pitch black outside, but the Taoist had a bad feeling.

When the group arrived at the Imperial Master's Mansion, everyone was still confused and didn't know what was going on.

Taoist Danhe looked everywhere in the hall but did not find the figure.

"Where is Lord Linghua?"

The shaman in the palace replied, "Lord Linghua will be here soon."

The monk asked, "Why did you call us here in the middle of the night? When I arrived just now, I saw someone outside saying that someone in the Imperial Master's Mansion had an accident. I also saw ghosts and gods coming from the upper world. Could it be because of this incident?"

The witch in the hall continued to say: "Lord Linghua will know later, everyone please wait."

The monk and the Taoist looked at Jia Gui at the side and asked, "Donor Jia, do you know what happened?"

Jia Gui shook his head: "I only know that it seems that the priest Xiong Hai fell into the river, but I don't know anything else."

But the three of them were all confused. The witch falling into the river was not a small matter, but it didn't seem to be a big deal either. Things didn't seem to be that simple.

The night is gloomy.

There was thunder in the sky, but no rain fell.

Linghua Jun was standing by the pool at this moment, looking at the water with a frown.

"Heading north?"

"The Heavenly God Mask has been found, along with the Azure Water Golden Dragon."

"The Dragon Lantern also sensed it and threw it into the Huai River."

"He's missing?"

"Tell the Golden Dragon of the Green Water Pond to come back and report to me immediately."

Today was the day of offering sacrifice to the gods. She had been in a trance during the day, and by the time the ceremony was over, it was almost dark.

It was at this time that the people in the Imperial Master's Mansion discovered that the priest Xiong Hai was missing.

"Gone?"

"Did he go somewhere?"

"Go find it quickly."

At first, the people in the Imperial Master's Mansion did not take it seriously. They just asked people to check whether she had gone out or was doing something somewhere in the palace.

But after checking, I discovered something.

"Someone saw the robes of the witch priest fluttering in the water channel beside the pond."

At this time, everyone just thought that Xiong Hai fell into the water.

So he began to panic and report to Lord Linghua the news of Xiong Hai's drowning, and immediately mobilized people in the city to search for Xiong Hai's "corpse" in the canal.

At this moment, no one fully realized what Xiong Hai had done.

After all, no one knows about the elixir of immortality. At most, they know that Linghua Jun seems to be a little unusual recently.

"Xiong Hai fell into the water?"

When she first reported to Linghua Jun, she didn't realize it right away.

He just asked people to search for the body in the water. After all, it was already this late, and if he really fell into the water, it would be impossible to rescue him.

Linghua Jun did not use magic to find out the truth. Although he had magic, it usually did not involve matters related to ghosts and gods. If it was just a human matter, he would still use human means to solve it.

For them, magic is not something that should be used lightly and they should treat it with a certain amount of awe.

But when they arrived at the palace, Linghua Jun found out after asking that Xiong Hai had come during the day on the pretext of getting things needed for sacrifice to the gods.

For an instant.

Linghua Jun felt something was wrong.

He immediately entered the palace to check if anything was missing, and discovered that his dragon-guiding lantern was missing, and also a set of ghost images of the Tiangong clan.

I immediately realized that Xiong Hai was not missing, but had escaped.

"Dragon-inducing lantern?"

"Ghost face?"

When Linghua Jun thought about the uses of these two things and what they could do, he said something.

"Not good, the Golden Dragon in the Green Water Pond."

Then Linghua Jun traveled out wearing the image of a god. In an instant, he turned into a ray of light and passed through the boundary of Yin and Yang and came to the pool. He found that the golden dragon in the pool was also gone.

It was also completely confirmed that Xiong Hai was not dead and had escaped with the elixir of immortality.

At this moment by the pool.

When Linghua Jun saw this situation, his heart trembled.

"Sure enough, Xiong Hai stole the elixir of immortality."

For a moment, Linghua Jun felt like a nightmare had come true.

She feared and worried about the situations that might happen, and then tried her best to stop and prevent them from happening.

In the end, it was discovered that it was precisely because of the series of measures he took to stop and prevent the nightmare from coming true that the worst situation occurred.

"Is it my inner demon that caused all this, or is it that inner demon that controls me?"

However, in addition to being shocked, she suddenly remembered the scene of meeting Yun Zhongjun in the Great Sun Palace today.

At that time, Yun Zhongjun suddenly looked outside the palace, as if he had discovered something.

"Sure enough, this immortality drug makes people possessed by demons!"

Then, he even said two.

Linghua Jun suddenly understood.

At that time, when Yun Zhongjun was talking about the existence of a demonic person, he was not referring to her, but to Xiong Hai.

At the same time, she was actually also in a state of being possessed by a demon. However, it was Xiong Hai who, in a sense, completely eliminated the evil thoughts in her heart.

"That's why the Lord God said it was okay, that's what he meant!"

Ling Huajun's shocked heart had also calmed down a bit. What she feared and worried about the most was not that the elixir of immortality was lost, but that she didn't know how to explain this matter to Yun Zhongjun.

However, since Yun Zhongjun already knew about this matter, she was not so hesitant anymore.

"That Xiong Hai saw me hiding the elixir of immortality, but he didn't know that the elixir of immortality was only half of it, just a certificate to enter the realm of immortality."

"After taking the immortality elixir, you must go to the Great Sun Palace under the spiritual root of heaven and earth and attend the Immortal Banquet to truly achieve immortality."

"He can't achieve immortality just by having the elixir."

After realizing that Yun Zhongjun already knew about this, and that even though Xiong Hai had stolen the elixir, he still could not achieve immortality, Ling Huajun's panic also completely subsided.

However, even if it is half of the elixir of immortality, it cannot be left outside like this. Linghua Jun still has to find a way to get it back.

However, at this moment, one day and two hours of night had passed since Xiong Hai stole the elixir of immortality.

He had used the heavenly ghost mask and the dragon-luring lantern to control the golden dragon in the green water pool to escape to the north, and immediately discarded the heavenly ghost mask and the dragon-luring lantern in two different places.

But when they reached the northern border, it was no longer a place supervised by Tuboshan Lord.

Born in the Imperial Master's Mansion and always following Ling Huajun, he knew what was most likely to catch him and where was the safest place.

But at this moment, Linghua Jun felt that Xiong Hai was truly possessed by a demon.

Even if we can't find him today, now that the nine earth gods have returned one by one, will we still be able to find him in the future?

Even if he really obtained immortality, without the permission of heaven, how long could his immortality last? Could he still escape the law of nature?
"Xiong Hai!" "Even if you have the elixir of immortality, can you escape the pursuit of the Zhou Tian gods and the unpredictable human heart?"

"Even if you get the elixir of immortality, can you really afford the immortality?"

Linghua Jun's soul returned to his body.

Turning around, he walked into the hall.

As soon as Linghua Jun came in, he saw monks and Taoist officials bowing to him.

The hall, which had originally been filled with some noise, became completely quiet, and everyone was waiting for Linghua Jun to speak.

After Linghua Jun entered the hall, he first looked at everyone, and found that the monks and Taoist officials had all arrived before he spoke.

"The priest Xiong Hai stole a magical item from me and has now fled to the Northern Dynasty."

"Danhe, you must immediately ask the mountain gods and landowners of the three mountains and five peaks, and have the ghosts and gods on both sides of the river to send people to search for Xiong Hai's traces along the waterway and find out where he escaped to."

"Go to the underworld and ask the ghosts of the underworld and other ghosts and gods if anyone has seen Xiong Hai recently, or if anyone has died at the hands of Xiong Hai."

"Si Tiantai, send someone to the Northern Dynasty. If Xiong Hai defected to the Northern Dynasty, inform me immediately."

At this time, Dan He stepped forward and asked.

"May I ask Lord Linghua, what exactly is the immortal object that the witch Xiong Hai stole?"

Linghua Jun glanced at Danhe and then said.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, I'm just afraid that if I tell you, you will become the second Xiong Hai."

Dan He immediately lowered his head and said with a solemn oath.

"I have a strong faith in Taoism. No matter what happens, I will never betray Lord Linghua, and I will never go against the heavens."

Linghua Jun didn’t know whether he believed it or not, he just said one sentence.

"I'm only telling you one thing, that thing is not for mortals to use, not for the human world to use."

"If one's virtue is not worthy of his position, he will be punished by heaven."

After hearing this, the three of them knelt on the ground at the same time. They had never heard Linghua Jun say such harsh words before, and they understood more and more that the priest Xiong Hai must have stolen something extraordinary.

If they cannot get it, it is possible that the three of them, or even everyone in the world, will be willing to go against the will of heaven for it.

Lord Linghua ordered the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth to track down the whereabouts of Xiong Hai.

"Take that thing back and send it back to heaven."

"This thing cannot remain in the human world."

"If we stay in the human world for one more day, we may arouse the greed of more people and cause disasters in the human world."

Linghua Jun said this, and immediately the monks, Taoist priests and officials bowed and listened to his orders.

"Yes!"
-
world.

In the community temple of Huajing City.

Taoist Danhe was kneeling at the top, holding a whisk in his hand. Although the deity enshrined in the community temple was the earth god,

But behind and above the statue are portraits of the Zhoutian gods and ancestral tablets, on which there are pictures of ancient gods such as Taiyi God, Yunzhongjun, Wushan Goddess, Guibo, Da Siming, Shao Siming and so on.

These gods are like the stars in the sky, and the gods of the earth below watch over the human world and monitor the changing circumstances of life.

Taoist Danhe led all the Taoists in praying to the gods of heaven and earth, and then asked the gods of the four directions, the gods of the mountains, and the gods of water for help. Through the power of the gods in the world, they checked for all the traces that Xiong Hai might have existed or passed by.

However, this is not something that can be done overnight.

The earth god received the incense and offerings and the sacrificial words burned by the Taoist priest, but it would take until the afternoon for him to respond.

The Taoists left the temple, closed the door, and then started discussing the matter.

"What on earth did Xiong Hai steal?"

"Is it a magical weapon?"

"It must be a magical object from heaven, otherwise Xiong Hai wouldn't do such a thing."

Although Taoist Danhe didn't know what could be called a magic weapon, he felt that it was somewhat unlike one, as he had seen magical weapons before.

Ordinary magic tools also require corresponding status and even corresponding spells to activate them, and the more powerful the magic weapons and magic weapons are, the more mana they require.

Ordinary times.

In order to borrow some magical instruments from these Taoists and those heavenly craftsmen, they also have to ask the gods of the earth for magic and the river dragons for strength.

Therefore, even if it is a magic weapon, it will be useless if it falls into the hands of ordinary people.

However, Xiong Hai is not an ordinary person, perhaps he knows how to use the magic weapon.

At this time, Taoist Danhe asked.

"Have you found out the specific origins of Xiong Hai?"

Taoist Danhe had certainly seen Xiong Hai before, but he had no in-depth understanding of his specific identity and origins.

The Taoist priest on the side only talked about the information he had heard, and some of it was just speculation.

"Xiong Hai was born into a clan of witches and shamans from Yunbi Mountain, and is descended from the royal family of the ancient Chu State."

"It is said that he should be considered as Lord Linghua's great uncle according to seniority. Lord Linghua usually leaves the worship of the gods in the Yunzhong Palace Temple to him to coordinate..."

This made Taoist Danhe even more confused.

What kind of thing could make such a person betray Linghua Jun?

Logically speaking, he is the one who knows Linghua Jun's magical powers best, and knows that even if he goes to heaven or earth, Linghua Jun will find him.

"What on earth could make him risk his life at all costs?"

at this time.

Taoist Danhe finally relied on the power of the Huajing Earth God to communicate with the Earth Gods of various parts of Jiuzhou and asked the water masters of each place.

When the temple gate reopened, Taoist Danhe held up the jade sceptre in his hand high.

Images of Xiong Hai were transmitted one after another, forming a map of his escape route from Huajing City. Taoist Danhe also knew where he landed and where he had appeared.

But after crossing many rivers and arriving at a place, the other party disappeared.

The further north you go, the weaker the power of ghosts and gods becomes.

Danhe looked at the place where Xiong Hai finally arrived, twirling his beard with a scrutinizing look.

"Xuzhou, why is he running here?"

"Could it be!"

"Are you really going to join the Northern Dynasty?"

Xuzhou is located on the sea, but it also leads to Yanyang, the capital of Northern Yan.

Taoist Danhe took back the jade sceptre and began to think.

A disciple at the side asked: "Master, who should we send?"

Taoist Danhe thought for a moment and said affirmatively: "I will go in person. This time I will prove to Lord Linghua that I have a heart for the Tao. No one in this mortal world understands the will of heaven better than me!"
-
Hades.

The monk ghost was walking on the other side of the underworld, and he saw from afar the ghost god leading a large group of confused and lonely ghosts. After giving the ghost god an imperial decree issued from the National Master's Mansion, he stood in front of a ghost.

The ghost was in a daze and only came to his senses after the monk ghost touched his forehead.

Monk ghost: "Who are you?"

Wild Ghost: "I am He Da, from Dongdao Island, Xuzhou, and I'm a boatman."

"I have three boats, one..."

The monk ghost interrupted him: "Have you seen Xiong Hai?"

The wild ghost was at a loss: "Who is Xiong Hai?"

The monk ghost drew the appearance of Xiong Hai in the air, and the wild ghost immediately shouted.

"I know him. It was he who harmed me. It was he who harmed me!"

"He instigated my second brother, saying that there is a fairy island on the sea, and if you go there, you can live forever, and there are mountains of gold and silver."

"He also displayed some magical skills, which made my second brother seem like he was possessed by a demon."

"This is a monster."

"Demon...demon...he harmed me...harmed me..."

The wild ghost He Da kept wailing, as if he remembered how he died. He cried and wailed, unwilling to leave the human world and the past.

When the monk Gui heard what He Da said, he understood that Xiong Hai had no intention of going from Xuzhou to Yanyang.

He clearly wanted to sail out to the sea from here and escape to an island in the ocean.

This guy doesn't even dare to stay in Kyushu and wants to go overseas to avoid disaster.

in a sense.

It also further proves that he has an astonishing treasure.

At this time, the howling ghost He Da suddenly remembered something.

"correct."

"correct."

"What did he say to me? What did he say to me? When he was hurting me, he also said..."

The monk ghost immediately asked: "What did he say?"

The wild ghost He Da looked at the monk ghost and said.

"He said someone would come to see me on the road to the underworld, and someone would ask about him."

Monk: "Tell me, tell me quickly what else he said?"

The ghost said: "He said that he knew he could not escape Linghua Jun's search and knew that his sins were grave."

"But he has already taken the elixir."

"Tell Linghua-Jun to stop chasing him. Even if you catch up with him, you won't be able to get back the immortal..."

"He wishes to wander outside of Kyushu forever and never return to his homeland..."

Before he could finish his words, even though the monk ghost had no body, he suddenly felt as if his scalp was exploding.

The eyes on the ghost mask stared at the ghost He Da for a moment, and then the face began to twist like chaotic lines, constantly changing.
