To be honest, I know that the Taoist priest is no worse than Long Po and Master Azan, or even stronger, but I don't have a good impression of the Taoist priest, this is all thanks to the charlatans, a rat feces spoiled a pot of soup, and the Taoist priest is a small shadow in my heart.

I remember that my father was seriously ill that year, and the family spent all their savings in order to treat my father, because he had no money to be hospitalized, my father was kicked out of the hospital and had to go home to recuperate.

Later, I don't know who introduced a Taoist priest to my mother, saying that it could cure my father's illness, my father was a people's teacher and didn't believe in these things, but at that time he was already ill and delirious, although my mother had no culture, but under the influence of my father, she also knew how to read and reason, and didn't believe in these things, maybe she was sick and rushed to the doctor, so she decided to give it a try.

That's how the Taoist priest came to my house, first opened the altar in the house, danced the mahogany sword and shook the three clear bells, and the mouth could also breathe fireballs, which seemed to be the case, and finally found out that my father was haunted by ghosts and needed to exorcise evil spirits.

At that time, I couldn't tell the truth of this Taoist priest, I just felt very scared, my mother was also frightened and begged the Taoist to help, the Taoist went around my dad to do a trick, what to torture the ghost stick, the money sword took turns to beat on my dad, and burned the talisman paper, with talisman ash and I don't know what the hell stuff, in short, I made a bowl of black things for my dad to drink, saying that it would be good in three days, for which he collected 2,000 yuan from our family, and the two thousand yuan were still made up by my mother in the neighborhood.

The Taoist priest left after doing the ritual, my dad had a stomachache that day, and he passed away in the early morning of the next day, at that time I didn't realize that it was all the Taoist priest's harm, until a few days after my father's funeral, I saw the Taoist priest in the next village to do white things, he also brought a little apprentice, in the corner to eat the food provided by the master's house, while eating while teaching the apprentice to pretend to be a ghost, and said that generally think of the Taoist priest's family, basically are terminally ill and not saved, with no tricks too much, saying that he took my father's things as a teaching material to teach the apprentice, said that last time he used the ghost stick and money sword to beat my father, the shocked family was stunned, and mixed the talisman paper with the clay as a panacea for my dad to eat, and the two thousand yuan was in hand.

I clenched my fists and stared at the Taoist priest from afar, tears blurred my vision, but I didn't have the courage to step forward, because I knew that I was too young to beat the Taoist priest, I silently wiped my tears and went home and told my mother about it.

My mother was also very sad when she heard this, hugged me and cried bitterly, and persuaded me to forget it, saying that my father was already terminally ill and could not be saved, and that people would not admit it if they had already left, and I secretly swore that I would never be a believer in the future.

In the following month, in order to repay the debt borrowed by the Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits, our mother and I ate sweet potatoes for almost a month, and I was floating when I went to school and walked, and I always farted in class, and was laughed at by my classmates for a long time, these two things left an indelible shadow in my heart, causing me to be very disgusted with Taoist priests.

Later, when I was drinking with Wu Tian in college, I mentioned this matter, and Wu Tian knew that I didn't have a good impression of Taoist priests.

Looking at the Taoist priest in front of me, my hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Wu Tian noticed that something was wrong with me, and pulled me and said, "Hey, relax, don't mess around, I know you don't have a good impression of Taoist priests, but Boss Fang is definitely not a fake Taoist priest." ”

I came back to my senses and let go of my fist and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a child, and I can still control this emotion." ”

Wu Tian breathed a sigh of relief, Fang Zhonghua took us over, this elder was very thin, with high cheekbones, goat's beard, and his eyes were bright, looking like he was in his forties.

Fang Zhonghua introduced to us, this Taoist name is called Qing Xuanzi, the common family name is Chen, we can call him Chen Daochang, is a Taoist in Wuchang Changchun Temple, in the early years in Beijing Baiyun Temple, and later to Changchun Temple to cultivate, when Fang Zhonghua did not sell Buddha cards before doing other business, because the arrears of the goods really can't be taken out, people come to force debts, he had to hide in Baiyun Temple, Chen Daochang took him in, and gave him food, they only met, these years have been in contact.

Chen Daochang saluted me and Wu Tian, Wu Tian hurriedly returned the salute, and when he saw that I didn't move, he pulled me, so I returned the salute.

Ah Long had already told Chen Daochang the details of this on the road, Chen Daochang signaled to open the door, and after entering, he took out a piece of yellow rune cloth from the cloth bag he carried and wrapped the roots of the tree, and signaled us to go upstairs, Lao He should go to play mahjong, and he was not at home.

Aaron took out a wire from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole of the iron door for a while, and the iron door opened, and the wooden door inside was a marble lock, and Aaron inserted a card into the crack of the door, and pulled up and down, and the lock popped open.

I exclaimed, "Brother Long is so good at unlocking." ”

Wu Tian said disdainfully: "I can do what this is, Brother Long, does the army still teach lock-picking skills?"

Ah Long ignored Wu Tian's cynicism, pushed the door sideways, and motioned for Fang Zhonghua, Chen Daochang, and me to go in, but stopped Wu Tian at the door.

Wu Tian said unhappily: "What do you mean?"

Ah Long sneered: "It's not easy to do things when there are too many people, you still need two nails to stare at outside the door, so as not to cause accidents, Boss Wu seems to be very good at unlocking, and the two of us stay at the door to study and study?"

Of course Wu Tian didn't want to, but Ah Long was right, there was no need for so many people to go in, I motioned for him to stay outside the door, and he had no choice but to agree, Ah Long gloated and raised the corners of his mouth and closed the door.

The house was very dark, and I instinctively went to the wall to find the switch, but Fang Zhonghua stopped me and said, "Don't turn on the lights, so as not to attract attention, just use your mobile phone." ”

Fang Zhonghua and I took out our mobile phones and turned on the flashlight lighting.

The living room is very messy, the sofa is full of dirty clothes, there are fast food boxes and instant noodle boxes on the coffee table, cockroaches are crawling on it, the floor is a mess, peanut shells are all over the ground, and beer bottles are lined up in several rows at the base of the wall, like a phalanx.

According to the location of the corpse water dripping from the ceiling, we found the corresponding place, and it was actually in the kitchen, and when we got to the kitchen, we understood everything.

The location of the storage cabinet under the stove was originally used to place gas canisters and sundries, but it was built with a wall of red bricks, and I knew what the situation was, and I actually hid the body at the bottom of the stove, which really opened my eyes.

I was still wondering if I was looking for a hammer to smash the wall, but I saw Chen Daochang leaning over and squatting down, pressing his right palm on the brick wall, as if he was testing the thickness of the brick wall, I saw him begin to breathe and exhale, like luck, followed by a fierce glare, a shake of the wrist, the palm of the hand turned into a fist and smashed on the brick wall, the dust on the brick wall immediately fell off, and a gap appeared where the fist hit, the gap extended and expanded, and suddenly it cracked!
