23. The ghost knocks on the door

The two beginners groped their way forward in the dark, unable to see each other's eye expressions, which made them more and more bold, almost forgetting where they were and the original purpose of coming to the Taoist temple.

Bang - bang bang - bang -

The wind picked up, and something slammed against the door, and at first there was only an occasional thud, but gradually the sound grew louder and denser, and the most overwhelming sound sounded outside the door, one after another, as if someone was knocking on the door in a hurry.

A strange sound interrupted the lingering two, Miao Fan raised his head, panting and looking at the door, there was only a faint starlight in the dark night, blurring the image outside the door, a fluctuating black shadow flickering far and near, high and low, like a night ghost shadow.

His heart tightened, and he subconsciously protected Qianqian: "Don't look at it if you're afraid." ”

Who knew that Qianqian was not afraid at all, not only was he not afraid, but he also pulled him to continue the matter of Fang Cai: "Regardless of it, I will leave by myself later, you come over quickly." ”

Miao Fan was not at ease, so he put down Qianqian to stay and take a look: "What kind of strange thing is it?" ”

"Huh!"

Qianqian didn't hold him, only to hear him hurriedly walk to the door, suddenly opened the door, and in an instant, the shadow scattered in a hurry, leaving no clues. Miao Fan looked up at the sky suspiciously, trying to find traces of those monsters.

"This is called 'ghost knocking on the door', ordinary people would have been scared to death for a long time, who would dare to go out to see ghosts like you."

Qianqian also got out of bed, pulled up her clothes, blew the fire, and lit the candles. Miao Fan looked back, her cheeks were red in the candlelight, her eyebrows were moths, and her hands were beautiful.

The scene of confusion just now had not yet dissipated from her mind, and she lowered her eyes to deliberately avoid his scrutiny, and her heart was hot. It's really evil! The Taoist temple here, she is here to do business, why did she have a lust for the little monk!

Miao Fan was also shy, and as soon as the cool breeze blew and the desire to dissipate, he was ashamed of Fang Cai's actions, lowered his head and touched his neck, and stammered nervously: "That, just now...... What is it that knocks on the door? ”

Buddhists always say that there is a way to reincarnation, although he is a monk, but he only believes in the Buddha and does not believe in ghosts, and he is also a strange person.

"Follow me."

They were silent about the absurdity of the deed, and she blew out the candle again, took him by the hand, and went out the door, then closed it from the outside. The two hid in the corner under the eaves, and Qianqian whispered to his ear: "Later, something will fly over, you can help me knock it down, the more the better." ”

After waiting for a moment, he remembered the sound of wings fluttering in mid-air, Miao Fan looked up and saw black shadows coming in groups, like birds but not like them, and when he flew closer, he saw that the heads of these monsters actually looked like mice.

Bat!

"The door was smeared with yellow eel blood, and the bats came out day and night, and when they smelled blood, they naturally came over and slammed into the bloody door one by one. But bats are afraid of light and people, and when you hear a ghost knocking on the door, you light the lamp and open the door to see, and they have already flown away. This is a trick that Maoshan Taoist priests often use to deceive people, and it is not unusual. Qianqian explained and pushed Miao Fan, "Go and hit two bats for me." ”

Miao Fan seemed to hesitate: "I...... He who cannot be killed. After speaking, seeing Qianqian's expression was not good, he hurriedly said, "I'll catch a few alive for you, you've had enough fun and release them, okay?" ”

When she's full enough to torture these little monsters? Qianqian was angry and funny: "Yes, yes, you catch it quickly, otherwise they will all fly away later." ”

Although Miao Fan is not like Ah Piao who can fly on the wall, but he is also dexterous, he jumped up and reached out in the bat group to grab it, and in the blink of an eye, he captured two, he gently pinched the little guy, for fear of vigorously covering them. Qianqian entered the house and removed the cotton thread on the quilt, tied it to the bat's head, and then carried the thread and swaggered to knock on the door of the Xuanxu Dao chief.

Xuanxu Daoist was "thinking" again, and it took a long time to come out to answer the door, looking tired and sleepy-eyed, but as soon as he saw Qianqian, he cheered up, and his eyes were full of vigilance: "Why haven't you left yet?!" ”

Qianqian lifted the bat in his hand and shook it, smiling: "I'll pay you back." ”

Xuanxu Dao Chang's face changed suddenly, and he went out of the door and looked left and right, making sure that no other pilgrims saw it, so he frowned and said helplessly: "Come in." ”

Qianqian went in and left Miao Fan outside the door to wait for her.

After entering the house and closing the door, Xuanxu Daoist didn't make any more mistakes, hugged his chest with his hands and looked at each other coldly, and asked directly.

"Daoist friends are here, what advice do you have?"

Qianqian tied the bat to the foot of the stool, clapped her hands and straightened up, and said, "I don't dare to advise, it's just that I have a rich business and want to do it with the Taoist." ”

The Xuanxu Dao Elder was suspicious: "You? ”

This little girl doesn't look old, but her Taoism is very deep, and ordinary tricks can't hide it from her at all. The rivers and lakes have their own rules of the rivers and lakes, they are all mixed people on the road, and the well water does not violate the river water.

Qianqian nodded: "It's me." Why, don't you dare? ”

She deliberately provoked him, how could Xuan Xuan not hear it, he was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and thought for a while: "To be honest, Poor Dao's courage is really small, and the girl is clever, and she will definitely be able to find an ally who is better than Poor Dao." ”

He refused, and she didn't show a smile, but smiled: "Dao Chief, I've always saluted first and then soldiers, and if I can't be tempted, then there is only coercion." ”

Xuanxu Dao Chief's face turned pale, and Qian Qian counted with his fingers: "Dao Chief, you are good at collecting ghosts and catching demons, this loud reputation is known to everyone in Xuzhou Mansion, but are there really so many ghosts and demons?" Do you want me to tell the government and send a few officials to see if there is yellow eel blood at the gate of the haunted house? ”

"Also, your talisman paper is a tael of silver, and it is said that it can catch ghosts. In fact, the ghost has long been drawn on paper, but it is painted with alkaline water, and it cannot be seen after drying, and once it is sprayed with turmeric water, it will turn red. Dao Chief, your business is good, I also feel itchy to see it, do you think I should also do a rune paper business? ”

"Of course, the most amazing thing about you is the chewing ghost bones, iron teeth and copper teeth! If the bowl is broken, you can eat it in your stomach, and you don't cut your mouth, admire and admire. It's just that others don't know, but God knows that you know and I know, those scraps are actually fish bones, you hide them in your sleeve in advance, and when you pick up the pieces, you quietly mix them in, and then pick them out and eat them yourself. In fact, I also thought about opening a restaurant and selling this dish, chewing fish bones! Do you think it's better to make it with salt and pepper, or sweet and sour? ”

She said it lightly, but the Xuanxu Daoist was sweating profusely when he heard it, his legs and stomach trembled faintly, and his expression gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to strangle her.

Qianqian glanced at him and said with a smile: "Don't want to touch a single hair of me, my father-in-law is outside, and he can break your bones with one punch." I said, I'm here to talk to you about a deal. ”

Xuanxu Dao Chang wiped his forehead and said with a smile: "Say, what do you want me to do." ”

"Three days later, you go down the mountain to open the altar and catch demons. Honorarium of one thousand taels. ”

The small garden of the royal family.

Ah Piao brought a ladder to put on the wall, Wang Yuanwai lifted up the hem of his clothes and pinned it to his waist, he climbed the ladder, and his fat trembling body swayed from side to side, almost crushing the bamboo ladder.

Finally climbed up to the top of the wall, Wang Yuanwai sat on it, almost out of breath, he instructed Ah Piao below: "You, also come up, ladder, move to the next door." ”

Ah Piao was resigned, climbed the wall very sensitively, and moved the ladder from Wang's house to Liu's house, so that Wang Yuanwai could go down smoothly.

He knew that there was no one in the Liu Mansion, but he still pretended to be worried: "Master, will we be caught as thieves?" ”

"I've seen it, and there's no one here." Wang Yuanwai is now focused on turning stones into gold, and he can't care so much, but he can't wait to take a look at the well in the Liu Mansion.

The two of them landed smoothly, and Wang Yuanwai hurriedly leaned on the side of the well railing to look inside, this well was out of water, and it looked no different from ordinary wells. He stretched out his hand to fish but couldn't reach it, so he asked Ah Piao to put down the well to fetch water. Before the water was raised, Wang Yuanwai walked around the courtyard and picked up a small pebble at the base of the wall.

"Sir, it's okay."

Ah Piao beat the water, and Wang Yuanwai pinched the stone and threw it in, and then a pair of Wang Ba mung bean eyes stared at the water, silently counting one, two, three in his heart, waiting for the stone to turn into gold.

Nothing has changed.

Wang Yuanwai was disappointed and discouraged, rubbing his fat ears and puzzled: "Is it necessary to have a spell?" ”

Ah Piao pretended to be confused: "What kind of spell, master?" ”

"Nothing, I'll say it casually." This little guy was dumbfounded, Wang Yuanwai thought so in his heart, so he didn't take Ah Piao very seriously, and he fooled it in three or two sentences. At this time, the "Liu family" returned.

"Heavy death......" Xiaohe seemed to be moving things, he Come and help me move the rice! ”

Ah Piao panicked when he heard this voice, urging Wang Yuanwai to go back to Wang's house quickly, Wang Yuanwai hurriedly climbed the ladder, but accidentally stepped on the air and fell down from the ladder, and fell "ouch" screaming.

"Who's at home?"

Xiaohe was vigilant and kicked over. Wang Yuanwai thought that it was too late, and when he was at a loss, Ah Piao suddenly pointed to the well and whispered: "Master, you go in first and hide." ”

That's the only way to do it. Wang Yuanwai struggled to drill into the well, and his big ass was almost stuck at the wellhead, Ah Piao finally stuffed him into it and let him hold the well rope with both hands.

"Sir, don't make a sound, the little one goes and throws the ladder."

Wang Yuanwai trusted Ah Piao very much, nodded and slid down the rope to the bottom of the well, and watched Ah Piao's little head leave the well.
