Return of the Immortal Emperor: The Villain Empress Becomes Mother-in-Law

On the way to Haishi, Tang Xuan and Xu Mei didn't choose the fastest plane, but directly chartered a bus and took Huang Taotao's body with them.

The bus driver was used to this kind of thing, but he was a little surprised that Tang Xuan and the others actually brought a corpse back home. After all, most people were sent to the funeral parlor for cremation, and then brought the ashes, so I couldn't help asking curiously. Why not cremate.

The result was that Xu Mei managed to stop Tang Xuan's killing intent, and the driver was too frightened to speak.

Haishi is just below the map of Jingzhou. It belongs to a city near the sea. In the early years, most of the people who lived here were fishermen. Because this place is close to the sea, there are many myths and legends.

Among them is a place called "Spiritual Snake Mountain". It is said that that mountain was transformed by a snake that failed to transform into a dragon thousands of years ago.

The local residents also respect the "Spirit Snake Mountain" very much, so basically few outsiders can enter, otherwise they will be reprimanded if they meet local residents.

On the contrary, there are some local snake catchers who often wander the mountain. Because there are few people, there are snakes everywhere on the Spirit Snake Mountain.

When there was a famine in the past, the residents at the foot of the mountain lived by catching snakes, thus supporting several generations, and the reputation of the snake catchers became bigger and bigger.

Up to now, there are basically some bosses who have captivity, and will spend a lot of money to buy snakes from Lingsnake Mountain. They all think that snakes from Lingsnake Mountain have spiritual energy and can prosper Feng Shui, so it is a good thing to keep them at home.

"Since that colorful spirit snake appeared, the snake market in Haishi has been in turmoil." Xu Mei sneered while playing with her thighs, "I heard that many snake catchers are doing this for this reason." It's a pity that they are all fighting in a nest of useless trash."

"What is the market value of that snake?" Tang Xuan asked curiously.

A colorful snake, even on the entire earth, is an extremely rare thing, he knows this, let alone a snake on Spirit Snake Mountain.

"Eating a snake that can live forever, how much do you think it's worth?" Xu Mei raised her lips and smiled, "That rich businessman offered one billion and found two dying snake catchers to catch it back."

"How does a dying snake catcher catch snakes?" Tang Xuan was puzzled.

"Those two snake catchers are the longest-lived snake catchers in the area. They have rich experience. After a few pointers, the snake was caught." Xu Mei propped her head with her hands and lay on the backrest: "But They don't even know how dangerous that snake is."

"Dangerous?" Tang Xuan felt something was wrong.

"One drop of its venom can kill 1 people. Do you think it's poisonous?" Xu Mei rolled her eyes at Tang Xuan, her eyes suddenly became fierce: "Moreover, it understands human nature and is extremely sinister. It can even control the brains of ordinary people. Let them do things for themselves."

"How do you know so much?" Tang Xuan frowned slightly, but he was looking forward to that drop of venom that could kill 1 people.

"Are you sure you want to know?" Xu Mei looked at Tang Xuan with interest: "A man who understands me doesn't end well."

Xu Mei was trying to be tricky, Tang Xuan didn't bother to ask, but looked at Huang Taotao, her body was still cold, and her face was still extremely pale.

Recalling the scene when Huang Taotao blocked that blow for him that night, Tang Xuan stretched out his hand calmly, covered her with a blanket, and thought to himself, "Don't worry, you won't die with me here."

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the bus finally arrived at its destination.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, but luckily it was a chartered car, so the driver took the three of them directly to the destination that Xu Mei told.

After Tang Xuan got off the car, he found that in front of him was a dilapidated Taoist temple, only about 30 square meters, and the words on the plaque were blurred.

The surrounding streets are basically old-fashioned buildings, and even the floors are made of bluestone. It seems that they should be the kind of folk houses that have existed for a long time.

How can there be a Taoist temple built in such a place, and it is still so dilapidated?

"arrive?"

"Here, let's go in."

Xu Mei swayed her body, humming a song and walked in.

Tang Xuan couldn't help being a little puzzled, and walked in with Xu Mei, carrying Huang Taotao's body on his back.

As soon as he stepped into the Taoist temple, a rather gentle voice sounded next to Tang Xuan's ears: "Are you here? I just finished cooking."

Tang Xuan looked up, but saw a familiar face, which made him frown: "Why are you?"

The person in front of him is the little Taoist priest Xu Fu.

With braids wrapped around him and a plain Taoist robe, with his signature spring-like smile on his face, he looked very amiable.

"You guys know each other?" Xu Mei was obviously surprised, and looked around at the two of them.

"I know." Tang Xuan's tone was a bit unkind. This is not the first time this guy has appeared in front of him. Why did Xu Mei bring her up to meet him?

There must be something strange here.

"That's right, this guy is very capable, and it's not unusual to know you." Xu Mei got used to it, and sat on the bench.

"Mr. Tang, eat first if you have anything to say." Xu Fu smiled, pointed to the food on the table of the Eight Immortals, and motioned to sit down.

Tang Xuan wanted to ask a few questions, but Xu Fu walked over directly, took Huang Taotao's body, and put it on the reclining chair beside him: "Come on, let her lie down first."

After speaking, he took out a yellow talisman from his pocket and pasted it on Huang Taotao's forehead, her extremely pale face turned back a little blood.

Tang Xuan didn't say anything, and sat down.

There was a lot of food on the table, all of which were big fish and big meat. Xu Fu took a total of four bowls and chopsticks, put the empty bowls and chopsticks on his right side, and then took out a cigarette and lit it on it.

"Mr. Tang, you can ask me any questions." Xu Fu took two mouthfuls of rice and said with a smile.

"Why did you ask Second Master Liu to give me the Tiger Talisman? Who are you?" Tang Xuan was not polite, and said straightforwardly: "What is your relationship with Xu Mei?"

"Seeing what you're asking, is it possible that my old lady is still his old friend?" Xu Mei gave Tang Xuan a white look: "Although we both have the surname Xu, we were not born by the same mother."

"Xu Mei is an old friend of mine, and she is also a native of Haishi." Xu Fu chuckled and said, "It's just a coincidence that she brought you here."

"This kind of coincidence, do you think I believe it?" Tang Xuan sneered, it happened that Huang Taotao lost her soul, and it happened that Xu Mei knew someone who knew the soul returning technique, and it happened to be this little Taoist priest.

Is there such a coincidence in the world?

"There is a destiny in the dark, and everything is in the cause and effect." Xu Fu said with a smile: "I can indeed save this girl's life, but the soul-returning technique can only be performed after the soul leaves the body for seven days, that is, the first time. seven."

"When you go to the mountain to catch the snake, she will almost wake up."

"Isn't it? You know that too?" This time it was Xu Mei's turn to be surprised, she widened her beautiful eyes and said, "I didn't tell you about this."

Looking at her expression, Tang Xuan didn't seem to be pretending.

"It's just fortune-telling. He's a guy in our business." Xu Fu grinned: "Also, Mr. Tang, can you show me the Tiger Talisman?"

Tang Xuan hesitated for a moment, then put the tiger talisman on the table.

"Where did this thing come from? It looks expensive." Xu Mei asked curiously.

Xu Fu didn't speak, but looked at Xu Mei with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I just go out to eat by myself." Xu Mei rolled her eyes, took her rice bowl, turned around and walked out of the Taoist temple.

"Mr. Tang, please cut your finger and drip three drops of blood on it." Xu Fu said seriously.

Tang Xuan did not follow suit, but asked indifferently: "Why?"

"The Tiger Talisman has not recognized its owner, so naturally it cannot play its due role." Xu Fu explained.

"Acknowledge the Lord?" Tang Xuan was taken aback. Could it be that this thing has other uses besides generating true energy?

This earth is the lowest-level interface, and the spells inside are all the lowest-level spells, and these low-level spells happen to be the blind spots of his own knowledge.

Just as it is difficult for a person to understand the circumstances under which an ant becomes constipated.

He was dubious, cut his fingertips with his nails, and three drops of blood fell on the surface of the tiger talisman.

After about ten seconds, the three drops of blood were absorbed by the tiger charm, and the surface of the tiger charm became much brighter.

"The universe is boundless, the law of Tao should be constant, it is manifested, it is hidden, the origin is descending, the true text is born, and it is urgent like a law." Xu Fu raised his sword finger and pressed it against the tiger talisman.

buzzing.

A gloomy light flashed, and illusory figures appeared in front of them. These figures were all wearing ancient armor, and there was a general leading the charge ahead, carrying a spear, majestic and turbulent.

In the end, he stopped in front of Tang Xuan, knelt down and shouted: "See Your Majesty."

It lasted only a few seconds before disappearing.

"Okay." Xu Fu handed the tiger talisman to Tang Xuan, and said with a smile, "The tiger talisman has already recognized its owner. When it is necessary, Mr. Tang will naturally know the true meaning of it."

"As for your question just now, it's just that Xu Fu wants to form a good relationship, there is no other meaning."

Tang Xuan took the Tiger Talisman over and sensed it, the true energy inside was still there, and there was no unnecessary change.

It's just that when I hold it in my hand, I can hear the sounds of fighting on the battlefield.

What is this thing?
He didn't quite believe Xu Fu's explanation.

This guy acted mysteriously, but he didn't look like a malicious person. After making sure that he could save Huang Taotao, Tang Xuan didn't bother to continue asking.

After eating, Xu Fu packed up the bowls and chopsticks, walked to the backyard of the Taoist temple alone, opened a cellar door and walked down.

In the cellar, there is a candlestick with a wooden sculpture on it, wearing a crown, pointing to the ground, condescending, like an emperor.

Xu Fu lit three sticks of incense, and respectfully worshiped the wood carving three times.

"Your Majesty, the candidate has been decided. You only need to wait for a while before you can be reborn."
