Chapter 23: Bellbell Coquettish to learn a spell
"I ......" Nangong Douling blinked, "I am the same disciple as you, worship the same ancestor and grandfather, and have a caring heart for you, which is reasonable." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Well, thank you for your concern, but I'm in my own hands. ”
"Chitose hooks men so well, your proportion, I think it's hard to stabilize. ”
"Cultivation is important, I won't be deceived by her. ”
"Hmph, you saw that your eyeballs were about to dislocate. ”
"When you go to a museum and see a beautiful piece of art, you stop and stop, don't you? I look at her out of appreciation. ”
"Why don't you appreciate me?"
"What do you mean by my niece?"
"It's nothing! big fool!" Nangong Douling flicked his sleeves and walked forward.
"Where are we going?"
"Don't talk, you'll know when you arrive. ”
"Walking?"
"It's close. ”
As Nangong Douling said, in less than fifteen minutes of walking, the two of them stood in front of the Calamus Daxian Temple.
Incense is flourishing here, and pilgrims from all walks of life come to pay homage.
In front of the temple is a steep staircase, and there are stalls on both sides, selling incense candles, incense sachets, and amulets.
Nangong Douling slowly walked up the stairs, and the vendors all knew her and greeted her warmly.
"Douling, why are you wearing a robe today?
"Playing cards at home. ”
"He's so good at pastime, who is this person behind you? ”
"I'm a fellow uncle. ”
"Your uncle is so young, college student, right?"
Li Xuan said to them: "I have never gone to school, I have been teaching myself at home since I was a child. ”
"Such a novel method of education? Your ghost-hunting sect's rules are really unique. ”
Nangong Douling said: "I have said it hundreds of times, we are the Soul Attracting Sect, and ghost hunting is just one of our businesses, uncle, has your family been haunted recently?"
"Haunted, stomach troubles happen from time to time, do you have any spirit rune pills that can cure it?"
"This won't help you, find a doctor. ”
Nangong Doubell walked up the steps, looking at the bustling scene in front of him, smoke curled everywhere, a stack of hemp futons for kneeling in the open space in front of the temple was neatly placed, and the pilgrims lined up in the crowd, holding the lit incense sticks in their hands, waiting to worship the calamus immortal.
In the smoke of burning incense, Nangong Douling came to a shed made of blue tarpaulin.
The sheds are hundreds of meters long and divided into small spaces, each so narrow that it can only accommodate one table or two chairs.
Sitting behind the table is either an old lady or an old man, wearing ordinary clothes, hanging Buddhist beads and accessories, on the table are placed with red paper, brushes and inkstones, as well as turtle shells, copper coins and gossip mirrors and other items, and the curtain behind him is full of signatures with black characters on a red background.
Nangong Douling introduced to Li Xuduan: "These old guys are to solve the fortune telling, after the pilgrims burn incense and worship God in the temple, some people will shake the lot, as soon as the sign lands, they will go to the exchange office to get the corresponding signature, the signature is usually written with some unfathomable content, most of the pilgrims will not understand, you have to find these old guys, spend twenty yuan to solve a signature, oh, uncle, come here, our stall is here." ”
She took Li Xuan to a shed, where a small long table was placed, and two folding chairs were placed behind the table, and instead of a red paper signature pasted on the curtain, a red and black Yin and Yang Taiji flag was hung.
The Soul Attraction School uses red as yang and black as yin, which is different from the general black and white Tai Chi pattern.
Nangong Douling entered the shed, took out a wooden easel from it, and placed it in front of the shed as a signboard.
Li Xuan read the words written with a marker pen on the drawing board: "The reception office of the Soul Attraction Sect, a full-time ghost hunt and exorcism, the Yu Lan Festival is coming, this faction is full of great rewards, the fee is 50% off, the discount is once a year, the lowest in the city, don't miss it, go into the shed to ask Master Nangong for details." ”
Nangong Douling patted him on the shoulder, "Come in and sit, aren't you tired from standing?"
Li Xuan sat on a folding chair and looked at the pilgrims coming and going in front of him.
He said, "Next month is the Yu Lan Festival, so it's going to be a big deal so soon?"
"It's called warming up in advance, the trick of doing business, you nerd won't understand. ”
Li Xuan said to himself: "The meaning of setting up a stall turns out to be really a stall. ”
"Otherwise, how do you think I got my pocket money? Does my master seem to be a serious worker?" Nangong Doubell yawned, "The weather is so good, the sun is so big, Qingcheng is still prosperous and peaceful, unlike haunted days, it seems that today, there may be no business." ”
In our country, I rarely catch ghosts, and once or twice a time, I am just a lonely ghost who has lost his way and cannot find his way to the gate of the other side. Real ghost hunting, I haven't tried it yet. It's a big city, with a large population and a lot of yang, and ghosts have nowhere to stay. ”
"Don't be discouraged, uncle, I haven't really tried to catch ghosts. Nangong Douling leaned on the back of the chair and put his hands behind his head, "The gate on the other side is the place of reincarnation, is there a difference between it and the underworld?"
"Of course, the Netherworld is full of evil spirits that cannot be reincarnated, and good souls can smoothly enter the gate of the other side for reincarnation, I missed one thing and forgot to tell you. ”
"I'm idle and moldy now, you can nag. ”
"Once the Enma breaks out of the seal, the gate on the other side will be completely closed, and all the ghosts who have not had time to enter the gate on the other side will remain in the world, causing chaos. ”
"It's boring, it's the Enma again, can you tell me something else? For example, why don't you go to school seriously?"
"Master said, I don't need to go to school, I just need to know the knowledge in school, I can read, arithmetic, and basic common sense, it's good, and I don't have to study the rest of the subjects in depth. All of my energy is devoted to cultivating the Soul Attraction Sect spells, and all I read are books related to spells. ”
"Do you think it's appropriate for my master to arrange your fate so well? At the beginning, the old man in my family also told me not to study and waste my tuition, but I didn't agree. I just want to go to school, I want to go abroad, and I don't want to be a goddess who doesn't know anything but mantras. ”
Li was silent.
Nangong Douling explained: "Uncle Shi, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you don't understand anything. You are not proficient in the knowledge in school, but your Taoism is more advanced than mine, don't be discouraged, at least you will be able to 'resurrect the dead', and I will not be able to do this." Oh, uncle!"
"What's the matter?" Li interrupted her, startled.
"Can you secretly teach me the serpentine 'Bondage Charm' and the 'Unbinding Charm'?"
"Such a simple spell, senior brother didn't teach you?"
"He kept a hand just in case I would use the 'Bondage Charm' against him one day. ”
