Chapter 11: A back and forth
Then the people on Xiguan Street went up to diagnose Xu Shengtang's daughter, most of these people were indiscriminate, just like the eight nonsense said, it is very suitable to mix up the car and horse expenses back and forth, after all, the people in Xu Mansion are not bad for money, even he used to pretend to pinch his beard and pinch each other for a few words, and when Wang Changsheng arrived, he was too lazy to waste his tongue, so he shook his head and said something like "I'm sorry, I'm a shallow learner" and so on.
The group of people in front of him couldn't see anything greasy, it was normal for him to not be able to see the hairless little student on his mouth, and no one was mocking him at this time, Xu Shengtang already had a plan in his heart, so he couldn't talk about any disappointment, but his wife's eyes were red again, and she wiped her tears sadly when she touched her daughter's face.
Subsequently, the group came down from upstairs, Uncle Tang Qi and Xu Shengtang explained to Xu Maozhong who was sitting on the Taishi chair, the patriarch of the Xu clan thought about it and said a few words to his son, Xu Shengtang's expression was immediately startled, and he hesitated slightly and did not move, Xu Maozhong snorted from his nose, Xu Shengtang hurriedly said Everyone, please wait, and walked out of this small building.
At the same time, Uncle Tang Qi took a stack of envelopes over, handed them to these people in turn, and said, "I'm sorry everyone, here is a little carriage and horse fare, please smile."
Xu's handwriting is really not small, judging from the extent of the envelope, I am afraid that the money contained in it must be five figures, and the people on Xiguan Street did not shirk it, and it is a rule to collect money regardless of whether it is successful or not, but when Uncle Tang Qi handed the envelope to Wang Changsheng, he refused.
"I'm sorry, the tutor once warned me that I would take people's money and people to eliminate disasters, but I won't accept the money if I don't eliminate disasters. Wang Changsheng shook his head, he really can't accept this money, and collecting the Xu family's money is to contaminate his family's cause and effect, but Wang Changsheng has already planned not to care about this nosy, and he naturally won't ask for the carriage and horse expenses.
Uncle Tang Qi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that someone would not want this money, so he said: "A little heart, after all, it will delay your time." ”
Wang Changsheng said: "The rules of the master are too strict, I thank you." ”
Wang Changsheng said that he wouldn't accept anything, and Uncle Tang Qi no longer insisted, the patriarch of the Xu family looked over in surprise, and whispered: "Aren't you a charlatan, don't take this money for nothing, it's not bad to worship for eighteen years, don't feel uncomfortable, just get used to it." ”
Wang Changsheng said with a smile: "But I respect my teacher." ”
As soon as Uncle Tang Qi finished the carriage and horse expenses, Xu Shengtang walked over from outside, still holding a brocade box in his hand, and after opening it, there was a string of eighteen prayer beads inside, and Xu Shengtang's father suddenly spoke.
"This is a respected master of Zen Buddhism many years ago to me, said that it is his belongings, every day with him to receive incense, listening to the scriptures for more than 60 years or so, the master said that this is a magic weapon, once he used the Dharma sacrifice practice, can be for people to block three disasters, please trouble, but also please spread the news that if anyone can cure my girl, I will give it away. ”
Many people were moved, magic weapons are very rare, and they will basically not be exposed on the market, because this thing is not available for you to spend money on, and it may not be able to buy it, which can be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom.
Wang Changsheng squinted his eyes and saw a slight crack on the eighteen old rosaries, so he said softly: "I have used it, there are still two times left, and it is a good thing, I have no shortage of this kind in Kunlun Guanzhong, but unfortunately I didn't bring out any of them after I went out of the mountain gate."
In addition to the three thousand three Taoist treasures in the Kunlun Temple, there are some things, all of which were left by the ancestors of the past dynasties, but Wang Changsheng only brought a peach wood sword when he left the temple, and the second senior brother told him that he couldn't move all kinds of treasures in the Taoist temple in three years, and he once asked why, and the second senior brother told him impatiently.
"Watching and walking is a kind of cultivation posture, but if you bring a bunch of treasures when you look down and walk, hey, who can beat you, who are you afraid of? So these things can't be moved, but in order to be afraid that you will be beaten to death, the master said before leaving, you can be allowed to take one of our treasures down the mountain, which is this peach wood sword. ”
Wang Changsheng asked again, "Then when can I use it?"
"After three years, when you are full-fledged, when these foreign objects can only be the icing on the cake for you, you can come back and get them, after all, if you are still alive in another three years, these things are not too important to you......"
The people on Xiguan Street are naturally very greedy for that string of prayer beads, everyone wants good things, but whether they have the ability to take it is another matter, and at the moment some relationships or channels are gearing up to say yes, and then Uncle Tang Qi walked out of the door of the Xu family's mansion with them, and sent people to the car to send them back.
Before Wang Changsheng got into the car, he said to Ba Qiaohu: "You go back first, don't worry about me, I happen to have a friend around here, I'll go over and have a look."
Ba Hu said regretfully: "You, why bother to come for nothing"
Wang Changsheng smiled: "I'm not sorry at all"
The BMW convoy slowly left Xuhang Village, and Uncle Tang Qi turned around and returned to the courtyard, stretching out his hand to close the two vermilion gates.
"Smack" Wang Changsheng stretched out his hand and pressed on the door, and said softly: "Wait a minute, I can take another look at your young lady......"
After a while, Wang Changsheng was invited back again, and after he entered, he said two words.
"I want the rosary"
The second sentence says, "Your family has offended people......
Xu Maozhong asked, "Why didn't you make a sound just now?"
Wang Changsheng said: "Senior brothers told me that it is not a bad thing to keep a low profile and be careful when you go out. ”
Xu Shengtang frowned and asked, "Why do you say that our family has offended people?"
Wang Changsheng looked at him and said: "Your daughter was witchcrafted, I think you should have seen it, there is a black line on her chest, which extends to the lower abdomen, the old Chinese medicine doctor is right, her soul is indeed locked, but he didn't see it in the back...... I guess it's not been 21 days since your daughter's accident. ”
Xu Maozhong, Xu Shengtang and Tang Qishu's expressions changed at the same time, there is indeed a line on Miss Xu's body, Wang Changsheng never came to the side of the bed just now, even if he passed, he would definitely not be able to see it.
Xu Shengtang nodded solemnly and said, "Today is the nineteenth day. ”
Wang Changsheng said: "Twenty-one days later, her soul is completely locked, even if you invite the immortals over, you can't save her, she deliberately was witchcrafted, isn't it offending people? But you don't know yet, I think it should be the other party waiting, at the latest tomorrow night, someone will find you."
Xu Shengtang immediately came to him and said, "Can you cure it?"
Wang Changsheng looked at the brocade box on the table and said, "I'm not very interested in money, but I really want this thing, and it can be cured."
Before, Wang Changsheng didn't want to bother with this idle matter, because it was not worth it to get himself into an unknown trouble because of this money, but if this string of prayer beads could be obtained, it would be enough to offset any trouble.
There is a good saying that there is no absolute loyalty in this world, just because the price of betrayal is not high enough.
In the same way, there is no unsolvable trouble in this world, it depends on what price you are willing to pay.
Someone played witchcraft for Xu Shengtang's daughter, if Wang Changsheng solved it without authorization, he would undoubtedly have a grudge against the other party, and speaking with money was not enough for him to take over this Liangzi, but a string of prayer beads that could block three catastrophes would be fine.
Wang Changsheng went upstairs to the bedroom again, this time Xu Maozhong, Xu Shengtang and Tang Qi Uncle all followed, Wang Changsheng sat directly on the edge of the bed and lifted the quilt, then turned his head and asked, "Untie her clothes, this is not abrupt, right?"
Xu Maozhong immediately nodded and said: "Those who become big things are not informal, you don't have to care about these things."
Wang Changsheng didn't mean to look at all the girls, he untied the other party's clothes, opened a piece, and a black line appeared on the other party's chest and lower abdomen, this line looked particularly weird, about a finger thick, very straight from top to bottom, but the most amazing thing was that there seemed to be something squirming in this black line.
Witchcraft mainly originated in the southwest and northwest regions, and was more common in southern Qiannan, Xiangxi and other places, and later spread to the Nanyang area.
Wang Changsheng lowered his head and said: "Give you two choices, if I untie it now, she will naturally have nothing to do, if I wait, the other party should come to the door, I haven't looked for you for twenty days, it's nothing more than waiting for the last two days to make any requests, how to choose, you decide, I don't care, but I tell you, if the other party wants this woman's life, it can be done a few years earlier, and I won't wait for so long."
Xu Shengtang said: "Threat?"
Wang Changsheng raised his head and said, "You must have touched the other party's interests, otherwise no one would be stupid enough to take the risk of offending you."
Xu Shengtang glanced at his father, and the old man said lightly: "The tree is very popular, it is inevitable, since you said that the other party will come to the door, then wait, after all, we are not used to having an enemy hiding in the shadows, do we have to cut the grass to the roots, who will have the time to guard against them in the future?"
Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "Then we'll see it tomorrow."
That night, Wang Changsheng stayed in the Xu family's mansion, the other party was very respectful to him, and specially prepared a guest room for him to live in, and when he finished eating, Xu Shengtang asked Uncle Tang Qi to come over and invite him to join him, but he only said that it was okay to send the meal over.
After waking up early the next morning, Wang Changsheng came to the courtyard after breakfast, found a secluded place to stretch his muscles, and in a hall not far away, Xu Shengtang and his father looked at this side.
"What price do you think we will have to pay if we let him stay in the Xu Mansion?" Xu Maozhong looked up and asked.
