Chapter 8: The Chief
Ghosts and gods stay away, Zhaojia Town is a well-known ghost town, except for lighting two long rows of red lanterns at night and being a little lively, there is always an inexplicable coldness and weirdness during the day.
People who have the courage to come here to play will not come in the morning, always have to wait until noon, it is said that this time is the most prosperous time of the day, ghosts do not dare to come out to make trouble, so Zhaojiazhen always has to wait until noon to have bustling people.
The light was not good last night, and it wasn't until now that Qiao Yue found out that the people in Shenzhaotang looked very weird, Feng Niangzi had a pair of lying silkworm eyebrows that were rougher than men, and the man who beat Jiulan last night had a pair of long hands that exceeded his knees, and the coachman sitting on the wheel of the carriage had a big and small eye, and it was said that he had opened his yin and yang eyes, and he could clearly see ghosts.
The carriage gurgled out of Zhaojia Town, and went directly to the Changzhou Mansion in the east, and was blocked by the crowded crowd in front of it less than five miles out of the town.
The subordinates who walked in front came over to report: "Fifth master, there is a ghost in the Zhang family in front of you who has entered the door, and there is an immortal master doing it at this time, should we wait?" ”
Qiu Wu nodded, rode on the horse and said, "Qiao Niangzi, there is an immortal master in front of you who is catching ghosts, I can only ask you to rest for a while, and when the immortal master finishes catching ghosts, let's set off again." ”
"Oh? Is there really a ghost? It just so happened that I also saw how the immortal master caught ghosts. ”
Qiao Yue's voice came out of the carriage, and then she walked out of the carriage with Liu Xiang and walked directly towards the dojo in front of her, which was opening an altar in the middle of the road.
When I was in the carriage, I heard Liu Xiang say that this so-called Shenzhao Hall relies on some ghost-catching tricks to fool the people, and there are so many believers that they can threaten the Liu family's world, from the small people to the big court, there are their believers.
came out so unfortunate and encountered a good ghost hunt, and a fool can know that Qiu Daozheng wants to develop her and Liu Xiang, the prince, into their believers.
Qiao Yue laughed: "Do you say they have a crush on me, or do they fall in love with you?" Boss Qiu didn't bother to think about our trip today. ”
Liu Xiang knew what Qiao Yue meant, it was very simple to catch him and Qiao Yue, if it could be used by him for a long time, this was a big problem, the theory of gods and ghosts can be the most demagogic, it seems that today's so-called play, there are two of them who are comfortable, as long as they are a little weak-willed, they will definitely fall into Qiu Lao'er's way.
thought so in his heart, but he still replied proudly with a straight chest: "Of course it was carefully prepared for me, you are so easy to deceive, you will give away 30,000 taels of silver if you fool you casually, and they haven't gotten a big son here with me." ”
It was evident that the surrounding crowd was the local people, and it was evident from their pious attitude that they believed in the doctrine of ghosts and gods, and even more so the warlock in the middle with a peachwood sword.
An altar was set up in the middle of the road, and it is said that this warlock came to the conclusion after checking the situation of the Zhang family not far away, that this place was the ghost's lair, and that the ghost's bones could be found underneath by digging up this stone slab.
At this moment, the Taoist chief was wielding the peachwood sword, with a very painful expression, stepping on some steps that seemed profound, and suddenly he shouted: "Evil obstacles, since you are dead, you should not quickly reincarnate, and the old man who came here to bring disaster to the people will make your soul dissipate today." ”
Then, he withdrew the peachwood sword with his left hand, and the ten and middle fingers of his right hand pointed fiercely at the stone slab on the road, and with a bang, a beam of fire ignited from his fingers, and then he calmly turned around and took a big sip of a bowl of water on the desk, and blew it at the flame burning on his fingers.
The people around him were shocked, and they were about to compliment him with his long mana.
Unexpectedly, the elder shouted: "It's not good, this ghost Dao is very deep, the three real fires of the old Tao can't burn him to death, quickly prepare the oil pot, the old Tao wants to fry him with oil." ”
This time, he really frightened the onlookers, and they all retreated a foot away in fear, looking at the Taoist priest in the middle with reverence.
Qiao Yue smiled and turned her head to look at Liu Xiang, who was looking puzzled: "How is it?" Curious? ”
Liu Xiang nodded: "It's really powerful, it seems that there are really ghosts, this Taoist mana is profound, I have only heard people talk about the method of frying evil ghosts before, but I didn't expect to be able to see it with my own eyes today." ”
This is their cleverness, at this time, if Qiao Yue stood up and said that they were cheated and stolen, the people around him would not agree, if there was no profound mana, how could there be a flame in his hand and burn by itself, obviously seeing that he drank a bowl of water, but when it was sprayed out, it ignited.
These methods, even Liu Xiang, who is the prince, can't see the flaws.
The boy next to the Taoist priest seems to have been prepared, and he set up a cauldron in three or two clicks, and is pouring oil into it, and the dry firewood seems to have been prepared a long time ago, just put it directly underneath.
Qiao Yue patted Liu Xiang on the shoulder, and said a little slyly: "Today, this Dao Leader touched me, and I broke his mana, do you believe it or not?" ”
Liu Xiang glanced at him worriedly: "Don't come nonsense, we have to respect him for this kind of master, we can't believe the ghosts, and we can't believe it, and we can't believe it all, the teacher taught him like this when I was a child." ”
Qiao Yue ignored Liu Xiang's jealousy, walked to the cauldron full of oil, stretched her neck, looked at it for a while, and then shouted angrily at the two boys who were lighting the fire: "Bastard." The master wants to fry the evil ghost, you two dare to add old vinegar to the oil, if the evil ghost can't be blown up for a while, and then come out to harm people, can you two afford this sin? ”
A fifty-year-old man next to him, with a somewhat nervous face, seemed to be the owner of the matter, hearing Qiao Yue say this, he hurriedly came up to take a look, sure enough, there were other things under the bottom of the pot, put a finger in the mouth and tasted it, sure enough, it was vinegar, if you didn't pay attention to it, you couldn't tell it at all.
The staff was afraid of offending the Taoist chief, so he didn't dare to scold the boy who was doing things, so he had to order the people around him to hurry home to get the oil again, and he didn't forget to say to the Taoist chief carefully: "If the immortal master holds on for a while, the old man will immediately let people change to good oil." ”
Dao Chang's face was ugly, if you don't add vinegar under the oil, how can you create the phenomenon of fake boiling of the oil pot, if you really boil the oil in this pot, he won't dare to put his hand in it, no one has come to expose it if he has been doing this before, but today is something arranged by the master of the hall Qiu himself, if he does it, there will be no good fruit to eat.
He stroked his beard stiffly, and pretended to nod profoundly: "Okay, Lao Dao has sealed the evil ghost into the bones, just wait for the oil to boil and put it in the pot." ”
Having said that, his eyes still looked at Qiu Wu not far away. R1152
