CHAPTER XXIV

After hearing the words of the coachman outside the car, the Taoist priest and Li Xiaobao stopped talking. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the carriage stopped, the Taoist priest gently tore off the talisman paper from the carriage, folded it a few more times, and then carefully tucked it into his sleeve.

This talisman was drawn by a Taoist priest and was not handed down by the ancestors.

However, the success rate of this kind of talisman is too low, and he has only succeeded in drawing ten in the past twenty years.

It is not difficult to draw a talisman, but the main difficulty is that the requirements for drawing a talisman are too high. The material is extremely difficult to find, not to mention, you have to be very attentive when painting, and if you are not careful, it will be ruined.

And although this kind of rune paper can be reused, it can only be used two or three times. The Taoist priest is also quite distressed when he uses them, but the relationship between the Divine Pill is very important, and it is also appropriate to use them once. At that time in Wufeng's house, there was no one else, so naturally it could not be used, but this time it was different.

The Taoist priest straightened his clothes, picked up Wufeng and got out of the car first, and Li Xiaobao followed. As soon as they got out of the car, an old man and a few maids behind him greeted them from not far away.

This old man is thin and small, but his eyes are shrewd, and he is well-dressed. Several maids with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, the eldest is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger one looks only eleven or twelve years old, and they all wear green clothes.

The old man looked at the shabby clothes on the Taoist priest and Li Xiaobao, he didn't know what to think, and there was some disdain in his eyes. But he immediately put away his eyes, squinted his eyes and smiled: "May I ask if this Taoist is surnamed Qiu?" ”

Wufeng moved restlessly in the Taoist priest's arms, wanting to turn his head and see who was speaking. The Taoist priest patted Wufeng's back, and didn't look at the old man, just nodded slightly.

"That's really good! I am the steward of Wang's house. We've been here for a long time! Come with me and enter the house, our lord has been looking forward to you for a long time. After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and took the lead. A few maids followed the Taoist priest and Li Xiaobao and walked with them.

Although the main gate of Wang's Mansion was about thirty meters away from the front, the housekeeper did not directly lead the Taoist priest to enter through the gate. Instead, they bypassed a few alleys and turned a few corners, and then they came to the back door of Wang's mansion.

Before entering the door, the butler stopped again and said to the Taoist priest with a smile, "Please forgive me, two of you." It's not that you won't be allowed to enter the gate, but our lord doesn't want the people to know that our son-in-law is sick and worry about him. Alas, our lord is really a good official for the people! ”

Looking at the housekeeper's pretended emotion, Li Xiaobao curled his mouth and rolled his eyes disdainfully.

The housekeeper saw Li Xiaobao's expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't care. What virtues his own master has, he himself knows. Where would the people worry about the adult, it was too late to scold him. The lord didn't let them enter through the gate, but he was only worried about his face, afraid that others would gossip and say that he would be retributed for doing a lot of evil.

The housekeeper glanced at Wufeng again, and Wufeng was also staring at him with a pair of big eyes. The housekeeper looked at Wufeng's clear eyes and thought of his lovely little granddaughter, and his heart softened.

Childe's situation is not very good, what should the child do if he is scared when he sees it? Besides, there may be something dirty, and children are most likely to get into trouble.

"Emily." The butler shouted.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid walked out. She bowed her eyebrows and respectfully agreed.

"Go, take this little girl to the accommodation arranged for the Daoist Qiu, and entertain them well."

Xiao Cui walked to the Taoist priest to take over Wufeng, but the Taoist priest moved his body and dodged Xiao Cui's hand.

"No need, I'll take it with me." The Taoist priest refused.

The housekeeper stepped forward and whispered a few words in the Taoist priest's ear, explaining the situation in Wang Gongzi's room.

The Taoist priest hesitated a little, he thought for a while, nodded anyway, and handed Wufeng to Xiao Cui.

When Xiaocui picked up Wufeng, the Taoist priest quietly quickly took out a talisman from his sleeve, and then secretly stuffed it into one of the pockets of Wufeng's clothes, so that Wufeng could leave.

The housekeeper led the Taoist priest to Wang Hongyi's room. Wang Hongyi, that is, the housekeeper called Wang Gongzi.

Wang Hongyi was lying on the bed, his face was pale, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, his lips were not bloody, and his teeth could not be covered, and some of them were exposed. His figure was even thinner, like a skeleton wrapped in skin.

Incense was burning in the house, and the windows and doors were closed. The smell of incense rushed through the whole room, and it was a little pungent at first, but after smelling it for a long time, people felt a lot more refreshed.

The Taoist priest looked at Wang Hongyi's face, and Yin Tang was very black, and he was already mortal.

The Taoist priest frowned, "What is his birthday?" ”

The housekeeper looked embarrassed, "Daoist Qiu, I don't know this. The birth dates of the masters, we who are in the present, can't know. ”

"And who among your masters knows?"

"Madame died half a year ago, and now only the master knows."

The Taoist priest let out a long sigh and asked, "Where is your master?" ”

The housekeeper shook his head, "At the Yamen, I don't know when I'll come back." Why don't I wake up Childe, and you can take a look? ”

Before the Taoist priest could stop it, the butler had already begun to call.

"Childe, Childe." The housekeeper gently called Wang Hongyi by the bedside.

Wang Hongyi's brows were tightly locked, his face was very dark, and his expression became more and more nervous. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and the light in them was terrifying.

"Ghost, ghost, ghost!" Wang Hongyi's already big eyes opened even wider. His expression was terrified, his mouth was wide open, and he kept screaming.

"Childe." The butler shouted softly again.

Wang Hongyi fell over a pillow and smashed it at the Taoist priest's feet, and the porcelain pillow fell apart.

Wang Hongyi laughed happily when he heard the sound of the pillow smashing, the corners of his mouth were greatly cracked, and his hair was scattered on the back of his head, "Hahaha, I hit you, I hit you!" ”

The Taoist priest looked at this situation, pursed his lips, and then took out a compass and walked around the house. But no matter how he moved, the needle of the compass remained unchanged.

"Master, is this compass broken?" Li Xiaobao watched from the side, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth.

The Taoist priest ignored Li Xiaobao, his expression was very serious, and there were words in his mouth, "There are weird, there are weird!" ”

The Taoist priest was not reconciled, and walked around with a compass again. However, after walking around the room a few times, I still found nothing.

No, he'll have to go out and have a look. The yin energy here is not abundant at all.

"Xiaobao, keep up." The Taoist priest hurriedly went out with the compass.

Li Xiaobao stabilized the cage behind him with his hand, and hurriedly followed.
