Chapter 106: Cheating, eating, drinking, and fake Taoist priests
The Taoist priest did not seem to be affected by the yin wind, and was already walking slowly.
"Don't be in a hurry, there is a poor road, and the evil corpse dares to appear, and the poor road will tell it to be no longer evil. As he spoke, he patted the gourd hanging from his waist.
Only then did the two peasant men realize that the gourd was glowing with a faint yellow light, and they felt much warmer just by looking at it. The attitude of the two towards the Taoist priest immediately changed, swept away their previous doubts, and secretly thought that they were mortal with the naked eye, and they had regarded the treasure as a broken gourd all these days, but fortunately they did not offend the Taoist chief with their anger.
When they arrived at the village chief's house, the Taoist priest was entertained by the guests, and the village chief instructed two peasant men to gather the villagers to his house, women, children, and the elderly stayed at home, and the other men went out with the Taoist priest to catch corpses, and after assigning tasks, everyone was waiting for the Taoist chief to lead the way, but they heard the Taoist chief say:
"Slow down, slow everyone. He touched his beard and paced slowly a few steps, looking like a tall man.
"Poor Dao looks at the black fog outside this mountain village, the village is gusting with the wind gusting, with the poor Dao's many years of experience in exorcising evil spirits, this evil corpse must be angry when he dies, and he was buried in this wilderness after death, thinking that the burial position is not good, but it is convenient for him to absorb the breath of Shanyin, and this evil corpse has some thoughts, and the cultivation is not shallow, you are so rash to follow the poor road into the mountain, the poor road does not know the strength of this evil corpse, I am afraid that if there is an accident, the poor road is a person who lacks skills, and I can't take care of you. ”
Everyone felt that it was reasonable, and the village chief asked, "What should I do, please ask the Taoist chief to make it clear." ”
The Taoist priest said: "Tonight, I will first enter the mountain by the poor road, and the poor road has a magic weapon next to the body, and the evil things cannot be violated." When I find the nest of the evil corpse and figure out its tricks, we will go up the mountain again tomorrow during the day to set up a formation and trap it with a formation, saving time and effort. ”
When the villagers heard that this Taoist chief wanted to enter the tiger's den alone, they all admired his courage and selflessness, and praised him as the reincarnation of an immortal, a bodhisattva's heart, a Taoist master, or something, and the Taoist priest's beard was about to rise.
Outside the house, Shaohua listened to what the Taoist priest said, and said softly to Jiang Ming: "This Taoist priest looks like a villain, but I didn't expect that the analysis of the evil corpse is accurate, and it seems that he is not useless." ”
Jiang Ming said: "Whether it is useful or not will be known later." ”
I also heard the Taoist priest in the house say: "It is quite dangerous to enter the mountain late at night, and the poor road needs a few fine things to dare to enter." He looked ashamed.
Someone shouted: "What kind of small things do you say, as long as we have them, we must find them for the Taoist!"
The Taoist priest said, "Everyone has this small thing, but I don't know if you can give it up." ”
He whetted people's appetites like this, which made the upright cropper anxious.
"There's nothing to be reluctant to, as long as we can get rid of that evil corpse and keep our village safe, what else is there to be reluctant to, let's say yes!"
Everyone said yes.
The Taoist priest pursed his lips and smiled, "Since you are so refreshing, then Poor Dao is not polite, and I also ask you to gather a few ingots of gold and silver, a few strings of copper coins, and let Poor Dao take them with you." ”
When everyone heard that they were asking for money, the originally noisy room fell silent for a while. The croppers can't save a few dollars all year round, and some people have never even seen what gold looks like, let alone gold ingots.
The village chief was quite embarrassed and said: "Hey, Daoist, our village is really poor, this money ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Taoist priest.
"I know you're in a dilemma, but this way is not a money-hungry person, just ask for a few gold and silver, and when the poor road comes back from the mountains tomorrow, it will be exchanged for you. ”
As soon as he said this, some people breathed a sigh of relief, but some people kept an eye on it and asked, "The Taoist chief said that he would use gold and silver to drive away evil spirits, but how can this gold and silver drive away evil spirits?" As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately responded.
The village chief came out to play a round, "Don't be surprised, the people in the village are short-sighted and rude, but they don't have bad intentions, they just want to find out." ”
The Taoist priest expressed his understanding, nodded and said: "The gold and silver are produced from the ground, which contains the aura of heaven and earth, and has been made into money and transferred to the hands of many people, and it has become popular, and it has the effect of warding off evil spirits, but this effect is not conspicuous, it can only drive away some lonely souls and wild ghosts, and ordinary people don't know this method, but it is useless to deal with the evil corpse." The poor road borrowed it just to save some effort, so that those lonely souls and wild ghosts could not get close to their bodies and could not make trouble, so that they could concentrate on dealing with the evil corpses. ”
Shaohua asked Jiang Ming: "Does gold and silver really have this kind of function?" ”
Jiang Ming said: "Rhetoric can only deceive ignorant mortals." ”
Shaohua knew that this Taoist priest was undoubtedly a fake Taoist priest who coaxed money, but it was a pity that those villagers were deceived, not only could not get rid of the evil corpses, but also could lose money.
Guo listened to the village chief in the house to persuade everyone to raise funds, but the villagers really had no money, and they gathered temporarily at night, and many people did not bring any money with them, and all the money was only scraped together three silver ingots, a dozen silver horns and two strings of copper coins.
The Taoist priest looked at the shabby silver coin, his face showed a look of displeasure, and he was afraid that others would see it, so he quickly changed his face and said: "Although these are less, they are almost enough, and when I come back tomorrow morning, I will find me to retrieve them." After saying that, he shook the gourd on his waist, and went up the mountain surrounded by everyone.
Shaohua and the two followed from afar, the Taoist priest was quite conscientious at the beginning, according to the direction pointed by the compass along the mountain path to the mountainside, from the pace of his night walk on the mountain road, it is not difficult to see that although this Taoist priest is suspected of swaggering and cheating, but also has a kung fu foundation, look at his ability to pinch and listen to the wind, eighty percent is a famous disciple, but somehow mixed to this point.
Walking to a shady slope, suddenly the wind blew fiercely, blowing sand and rocks all over the ground.
The yin wind blew strangely, the wind seemed to have long feet, and the road was tortuous and disorganized, and the Taoist priest suddenly made a big alarm bell, holding the gourd around his waist in front of his chest, and felt that he was not very safe, so he simply put it on the door of his head, although this method was stupid, but it was also in the door.
Jiang Ming pulled Shaohua behind him and said:
"Be careful, a zombie who can be this kind of wind may have cultivated three souls and seven spirits and has spiritual wisdom. ”
Shaohua heard Master Yunjiang say that after death, the soul leaves the body, and if there is a remnant in the body, it will turn into a zombie, and it can walk and jump like an ordinary person, but it has no sanity, but it is a walking corpse.
Zombies are also divided into levels, jumping corpses are the lowest level of knowledge because of their stiff bodies, followed by walking corpses, and there are many kinds under the walking corpses, which will not be detailed here.
Then there are the flying corpses, which can fly to tree heights, are extremely agile, and have incredible speed. The highest level is the corpse that has cultivated a complete three souls and seven spirits, which is called a drought by the folk, which can extradite the plague and cause drought because of the extremely heavy evil qi or corpse qi.
Zombies can cultivate into a wolf, they can practice qi pills, turn into demons and even become immortals, and the tenth ancestor witch of the twelve ancestors is the incarnation of the drought fish.
Shaohua asked, "Is there a drought in this mountain?"
Jiang Ming said: "It shouldn't be, if it's a drought, there will be a drought within a radius of 100 miles." ”
Shaohua nodded, they followed all the way, and there was not a piece of arid land.
But he heard Jiang Ming say again: "It's not that Lu can do the wind of dragons and snakes, it must be some kind of natural treasure." A playful look flashed on Jiang Ming's face, but unfortunately Shaohua couldn't see it behind him.
"It's curious that evil things can have such an opportunity. Shaohua said.
The two of them were talking, and the Taoist priest in front of him suddenly screamed, followed by a loud noise, it was the Taoist priest who didn't know what to be frightened by, and threw out a thunder talisman, probably because he didn't have the right head in his hand, and the evil thing didn't blow up, but blew up the mountain into a big hole.
Shaohua felt it, except for the yin wind and the original evil qi, there was no sign of evil things, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said: "I didn't expect this Taoist priest to be a coward, and any wind and grass can scare him like this." ”
I saw that the Taoist priest grabbed another handful of talisman paper, trembled and choked out a mouthful of sand, and shouted loudly:
"Who kind of demon dares to make trouble in front of this immortal! I advise you to show up quickly and tie your hands and arrest it, otherwise the immortal's talisman will be scattered!"
The words were shouted out, but no one answered. The Taoist priest turned around in place, his big eyes widened, and he didn't see anything unusual, so he cautiously walked a dozen steps to a colder place in the slope, and suddenly stopped again. He took off the gourd attached to his forehead, and found that the yellow light that had been emitted had turned into a strange orange red, he patted the gourd, and the gourd shook for a moment.
This really scared the Taoist priest. This is his family's ancestral treasure gourd, not to mention the previous supernatural powers, after the treasure gourd was broken, it was only by relying on its light warning that he avoided how many disasters, this time the color of the light changed again, indicating that the evil corpse in this mountain must be something he can't deal with, and at this time it is still the best policy.
But this time he couldn't leave if he wanted to.
As soon as he turned around, before he could lift his feet, he found a pair of dark blue eyes staring at him within three steps of him.
It subconsciously put the gourd on the door of its head again, but it didn't expect that this move would make the light of the gourd just shine on the shape of the thing in front of it.
It was originally close, but it was illuminated by the orange-red light, and the image of the blue-faced fangs seemed to be magnified in front of the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest screamed worse than ever before, heartbreaking, but he didn't forget to run, and wittily scattered the talismans in his hand, his talismans were all sorts, so scattered indiscriminately, only two or three played a role, and the others were entangled and canceled each other.
After running a few steps, the Taoist priest found that his feet were off the ground, and when he looked up and saw that the evil corpse was facing him, he kicked a few times in vain, and when he found it useless, he almost cried, thinking:
"God, grandmaster, ancestor, the disciple is going to explain here today, don't blame me for not passing on our family's craft, I don't want to die young, blame this evil corpse for being too powerful, no, blame those villagers for being dishonest, didn't tell me that this evil corpse is so evil!"
