Chapter 55: I Don't Apprentice
A bottle of beer was uncapped and placed in front of Lao Dao.
"Let's start by telling me what you know. ”
Sitting on the simple bed in the room on the fourth floor, Li Yi said leisurely.
"Ahem, what I heard them say should be incomplete, you must have found something else later, I'll judge you when you say it all. Lao Dao sat on the stool opposite, crossed Erlang's legs and stroked his beard, holding the posture of the master.
Li Yi frowned, but still said about the illusion he encountered in the basement later, as well as the form of the terracotta figurine: "I suspect that it is the terracotta figurine, it does not have yin qi to the touch, but it feels warm." ”
"Well, you have a point. The old man said.
", what about your judgment after talking for a long time?
"Hehe, it's still a quick temper. Lao Dao smiled, "Actually, you have found the key to the problem, and what you lack is experience." That terracotta figurine has no yin energy but has yang energy, and that is because the people on it are not ghosts but gods. ”
"What?" Li Yi was a little confused.
"Of course, it's not a powerful immortal, it's just a land lord. Lao Dao looked a little disdainful.
"Lord of the land?" Li Yi smacked.
The land lord belongs to the most familiar gods, and like the stove lord, there are indispensable places where there are people.
However, in comparison, the Lord of the Stove is the head of the family, and each family is to post a portrait in the kitchen, and there is nothing to worship on weekdays, except for the twenty-third day of the lunar month, almost no one can remember his existence.
The land lord is different, that is a god of the eight classics, in the past, all the village entrances and alleys, there will be a land temple to worship, although most of them are not big, and even dig a hole in the wall, but it is also a temple, is a people's dojo.
"If my guess is correct, it should be the Lord of the Land. Lao Dao stroked his beard and said, "If you change to another immortal, not to mention that it won't hurt people easily, even if you want to hurt people, it will never just let them be lucky to carry a little, and it will be over if they are injured a little." And you, a little ghost, also want to interfere with others, but I'm afraid it's not an illusion, but it will directly destroy your mind. ”
"Uh, what should I do about this?" asked Li Yi.
"It's hard to say, it's easy to say. Lao Dao said, but his eyes were fixed on the bottle of beer.
"Drink it. Only then did Li Yi open his mouth and "send" the beer to Lao Dao.
Lao Dao grinned, picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth, drank half a bottle in one go, put down the bottle and muttered: "It's been put for a long time, it's not cold......"
"Hurry up. Li Yi asked impatiently.
"The origin of the land lord is very complicated, some of them are canonized by the underworld after the death of the people, and some are those who have cultivated the Tao and accumulated enough merit to be canonized, so if you want to solve this problem, you must first find out what the origin of the land lord is and where his fief is. Lao Dao said, "According to my estimation, this land lord was moved to that family because his real body was moved, so he punished them and made them realize their mistake so that they could send him back." ”
"Will it be okay to send him back?" asked Li Yi.
"Not necessarily. Lao Dao said, "It depends on whether this land lord is a ghost or a demon." Ghosts are changed by people, but they are still a little human, and most of them are more reasonable. If it's a demon, then it's not good, if you don't make a few lives, you won't be finished if you can't get angry!"
Li Yi nodded, lit a cigarette, and said: "If he is a ghost and is easier to talk to, then send it back, if he is a demon and has to make trouble, then destroy him!"
"Hey, the tone is not small, just by virtue of you can destroy a canonized land lord?" Lao Dao disdainfully took a sip of beer.
"Isn't there still you?" Li Yi said leisurely, "You just promised to help me solve this matter!"
"I ......" Lao Daoyu plugged for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said, "I promised to help you solve this matter, it is 'help', not 'replacement', so I will guide you what to do, and you will do the specific work!"
Li Yi was speechless at this old way, thinking with his toes that there must be a risk in this matter, his "help" is ready to hide behind the scenes, and it is himself who really rushes to the front to take the risk!
"You'd better be reasonable, if I go up by myself and hang up, you won't succeed, and I'll have to sue you when I get down." Li Yi said lightly, "Don't forget, there are people down there!"
"Cut, I know that if you can be a ghost, you must have opened the back door!" Lao Dao said disdainfully, "Don't worry, since I said to help you, I will definitely not let you hang up, even if you can't kill him, at least I can let you run away, and it is not a problem to stay alive." ”
"Are you sure?" Li Yi patted the plaster on his leg.
"I said you write!" Lao Dao took a sip of dry beer, tossed it casually, and the empty bottle disappeared out of thin air.
Li Yi took out his mobile phone and turned on the notepad function.
Lao Dao began to recite the names of various Chinese medicines, as well as the amounts.
"Now go grab two and come back, and you can remove the plaster after eating!" said the old man, dragging his feet.
"So amazing?" Li Yi said.
"Believe it or not, I helped you anyway, if you don't answer the phone, you can't blame me for dying in the end. "Lao Dao has a proud face.
Li Yi thought for a while, and he shouldn't be able to die if he tried it without being smart, so he simply called Song Yang to drive, and dragged himself to a nearby big pharmacy to grab the medicine, and he was also responsible for the on-site decoction, and the two pieces of Chinese medicine became six small packets of medicinal soup, but it cost Li Yi more than 800 yuan at once - there are many precious medicinal materials in the old Taoist prescription.
When I returned to the nursing home, I drank a pack and went to sleep, and the next morning I woke up and felt that the leg bones in the plaster cast were itchy, and it was very uncomfortable without scratching or scratching, which was a sign of close recovery.
I didn't expect Lao Dao to really have a hand?
After breakfast, Li Yi bought a bottle of Erguotou, plus a bag of peanuts and a bag of orchid beans, and went to the backyard on crutches.
Chen Dali and his wife had already gone down to the underworld on their own, and Zhu Dakui was instructed by Li Yi to keep an eye on the Qian brothers and sisters, and there was only the old way in the backyard.
"Is this a thank you for coming?" Lao Dao Xizi picked up the second pot and took a sip, and then pinched an orchid bean.
"Quite a bit of nonsense. Li Yi said, "Well, by the way, you said yesterday that you wanted to teach me Taoism?"
"Have you woken up, do you want to apprentice?" the old man grinned at the back of his head.
"I won't apprentice, but your spells can be taught to me. Li Yi said.
"Why!" exclaimed the old man.
Li Yi pointed to the two pot heads and peanut orchid beans.
"That's it?" shouted the old man dissatisfiedly.
"Every day is not lower than this standard. Li Yidao, "Love to teach but not to teach, don't teach to pull down!"
The old man took another sip of wine, then pursed his lips and said, "Deal!"
