Chapter 66: Exorcism
It's human nature to love to see the excitement, if it weren't for the fact that there were only two villages nearby, Qingshui and Qingyuan, there would definitely be more people who came to see the excitement, and the two girls couldn't squeeze into the crowd at all. Yao Huang looked at the surrounding environment and found that there was still a gap by the wall at the most entrance of the house, so he pulled Sister Zhang Qiao to the wall, moved two big stones to step on, stepped on the stones with Sister Zhang Qiao, and looked into the courtyard by holding the wall.
"Erya, your strength is really great!" Sister Zhang Qiao saw that the two stones just now were at least thirty or forty pounds, but Yao Huang easily moved them up, and her strength was so great that she was speechless.
"I learned and developed a superficial internal force, so I can move stones easily." Yao Huang said with a smile.
"That's great! I also want to learn martial arts from Mr. Wenren, but my mother doesn't let me say that girls can do needlework and cooking, and learning martial arts is a man's business, so she won't let me learn martial arts. Sister Zhang Qiao said depressedly, "I envy the heroines in the storyteller's mouth, so majestic." Erya, you will also become a heroine in the future, right? ”
"No, I don't like to mix the rivers and lakes, I prefer a peaceful and stable life in the village. I learned martial arts to exercise my body, not to compete on the rivers and lakes. Yao Huang shook his head.
"Why do you think like my mother, you don't have the vitality of a young man."
Yao Huang just laughed. Although we are young on the outside, we are an adult on the inside, and of course our thoughts are different from those of you little P children.
"How did Zhang Yuanxi hit the ghost?" Yao Huang asked curiously, she craned her neck to look into the courtyard, but the courtyard was full of people standing to watch the protagonist of the lively incident and the Taoist priest of Xuanqingguan did not see it.
"It is said that the boy ran out of the house on the night of fifteen and ran into his good brother. Haunted by lonely ghosts. Sister Zhang Qiao said.
"How could his mother allow him to go out on fifteen nights?" Yao Huang asked, the older generation of people are the most fearful of ghosts and gods. On July 15, they go to bed early, and the children are not allowed to go out at night. Even if someone outside the door called their name, they wouldn't answer. Because the old people said that it was a lonely ghost looking for a substitute, and whoever agreed would be caught by the ghost.
"He sneaked out of the city on his own. I heard that he made a bet with some of the boys in the village to prove his courage and run to the wasteland at the end of the village at night to get a thing and go home. Who knew that Lu Dao would really provoke ghosts. Sister Zhang Qiao said that these news were all heard from Fang Yueniang.
"If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you." Yao Huang released his divine sense and looked into the room, there were more than a dozen people in the room, one of them was a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe, followed by two Taoist children, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy with a pale face and straight eyes. looks like an evil spirit, it should be the Yuan Xi of the Zhang family.
Yao Huang stared straight at Zhang Yuanxi's back, there are really ghosts in this world! Behind the boy was a black mist, condensing into a blurred figure, whose facial features were not very clear, and only the long tongue that stretched out of his mouth could be seen - it was a hanged man.
The middle-aged Taoist priest held the peachwood sword, and slashed around Zhang Yuanxi's body with words in his mouth, and the hanged ghost was very cunning, dodging the Taoist's peachwood sword. But he was on Zhang Yuanxi's body, and he didn't leave a single step, which made the boy's face worse and worse.
However, no matter how fast the hanged ghost moves. Still negligent, he was slashed several times by the peachwood sword, and the black mist on his body was cut off a few traces. The color has become a little lighter. The hanged ghost couldn't help but let out a shrill ghost scream. Yao Huang looked at Sister Zhang Qiao and the surroundings, and found that none of them heard this ghost scream. However, Yao Qing frowned slightly. It seemed that the ghost scream made him feel uncomfortable - bathed in a living environment with abundant aura all day long, Yao Qing's body was washed by aura. There is the possibility of opening the eyes of heaven and seeing ghosts.
The middle-aged Taoist priest also frowned, it seemed that he had also heard the ghost scream. The middle-aged Taoist priest took out a yellow talisman depicted in cinnabar from his arms, Yao Huang couldn't recognize what it was, but he could see the faint aura flowing in the rune. It seems that this middle-aged Taoist priest has two brushes.
When the hanged ghost saw the middle-aged Taoist priest take out the yellow talisman, he immediately escaped from the boy's body, and rushed out of the door in a panic. The middle-aged Taoist priest snorted violently, bit the tip of his tongue, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the yellow fu, which emitted a dazzling golden light and flew towards the hanged ghost.
Only a sharp ghost cry was heard, and the hanged ghost was dispersed by the golden light, and the entire black mist turned into nothingness in the air.
"Huh?" Yao Huang heard his younger brother's surprise in surprise, and he also saw the scene just now.
As the hanged ghost left, Zhang Yuanxi fainted suddenly. Zhang's father and Zhang's mother were so frightened that they hurriedly helped their son and asked the middle-aged Taoist priest one after another, how was his son.
"Don't destroy the ghost anymore, your son was just absorbed by the ghost, just raise it for two days." The middle-aged Taoist priest squirted a mouthful of essence blood, and his expression was a little sluggish.
"Thank you, thank you!" The Zhang family couple was grateful, and hurriedly took out a red envelope and handed it to the Taoist priest, and Zhang's mother took out another basket, in which a roast chicken and a few big white steamed buns were placed, and a pot of wine was handed to one of the Taoist children.
The middle-aged Taoist priest nodded with satisfaction, and after Zhang Yuanxi woke up, he returned to the Taoist temple with his two apprentices.
Zhang Yuanxi woke up and couldn't remember what happened at all, which surprised everyone. The Zhang family and his wife hurriedly ordered a bowl of noodles for their son to eat and then arranged for him to rest.
Yao Huang and Zhang Qiaojie followed Yao Qing and others back to Qingshui Village together, along the way, the children were discussing Xiqi, they didn't see the middle-aged Taoist priest cutting ghosts with a sword and hanging ghosts, only saw the middle-aged Taoist priest rushing out of the house, and then there seemed to be a golden light flashing in the courtyard, and then Zhang Yuanxi fainted, and then he woke up The Taoist priest said that the ghost was removed. Several children were a little skeptical about the authenticity of ghost hunting, and Erhuzi said that it would be a trick of a middle-aged Taoist priest, and the evidence was that he went to the city to play when he was a child, and met a group of tricksters. Some of them could breathe fire from their mouths, and some of them could swallow swords, and he was stupid at the time, thinking that those who were performing arts were all great, like gods. As a result, his father told him that it was all fake, and it was all a trick. He thought that the golden light was also a trick for the middle-aged Taoist priest. Sister Zhang Qiao argued that the Taoist priest is true and capable, and it is true that there are ghosts, otherwise how to explain that Zhang Yuanxi was so confused at first that he couldn't even recognize his parents, and as soon as the Taoist priest helped him exorcise ghosts, he would be fine? A group of boys and girls divided into two gangs, and they quarreled fiercely.
Yao Qing didn't participate in the quarrel, quietly took two steps back, came to Yao Huang's side, and asked in a low voice, "Second sister, did you hear two ugly ghost screams?" ”
"I hear you." Yao Huang nodded.
Yao Qing patted his chest, "I thought it was my illusion, those two ghost screams are terrible!" ”
"Not a delusion. Zhang Yuanxi really hit a ghost. I saw the true face of the ghost, it was a hanged ghost, and I don't know how Lu Dao Zhang Yuanxi provoked it. Generally during the Midyear Festival, the ghosts would rather have a carnival than have a hard time with the living. Yao Huang said suspiciously.
"Second sister, no one else can see ghosts, why do we see ghosts?" Yao Qing was a little scared.
"Our spiritual sense is stronger than that of other people, so we can naturally see ghosts. As for you, it's better not to talk about the things that can see ghosts, lest people think of us as strangers. ”
"Don't worry, second sister, I won't say it." Yao Qing hurriedly said, "I'm just a little uncomfortable, how terrible it would be if I could see ghosts from time to time!" ”
Yao Huang comforted his younger brother, "Don't worry! Ordinary ghosts will be brought back to the underworld by the black and white impermanence of the underworld, so that they can be reincarnated. As for the ghosts left on the ground, they did not dare to appear in the open, because the vision was quite harmful to them. Besides, popularity also hurts ghosts to a certain extent, as the saying goes, 'people are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are afraid of people for seven points'. Except for a few ghosts with big grudges, most of the ghosts are reluctant to come into contact with people. ”
"That's good!" Yao Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
After the two siblings entered the village, they were separated from the others, and it was not early, so everyone went back to their respective homes. Yao Huang and the others walked to the door of the house, just in time to see Li Yunzhong carrying a few pheasants and hares from the direction of Luo Dan Mountain.
"Second brother, are you back from hunting?" Yao Huang greeted Li Yunzhong.
"yes, it was a good day." Li Yunzhong happily replied that Luo Dan Mountain is rich in resources and close to the village, and most villagers often go up the mountain to hunt pheasants and hares to improve their lives. Li Yunzhong took a pheasant from the prey and handed it to Yao Huang, "Here, take one back and add food." ”
"Then Second Brother Xie Xie." Yao Huang did not postpone it, and took the pheasant with a smile. The relationship between the two families is good, and the Yao family will share a part of the good things to the Li family.
Back at home, Yao Hong had already prepared dinner, and the pheasants could only be saved for the next day. After Yao Huang had eaten dinner, he cleaned up the pheasants. Yao Hong boiled the boiling water, and Yao Huang soaked the pheasant in the boiling water for a minute or two, and when he took it out again, the chicken feathers easily faded. Yao Huang put the chicken feathers into a basket and put them away, the feathers on the pheasants are long and beautiful, the feathers on the tail and the wings can be used to make chicken feather shuttlecocks, and the other feathers can be used to make feather dusters - last time, Yao Huang made a chicken feather shuttlecock out to play, but was robbed by a group of girls, she promised Sister Zhang Qiao and others to make a new one and take them to play together.
After the chicken intestines are dried and cleaned, they are put in a small bowl, and tomorrow they can be stir-fried with celery, which is very good for rice. The whole chicken is stewed in a clay pot over low heat, and tomorrow you will be able to drink delicious chicken soup.
"Second sister, let's go up the mountain tomorrow, right?" Yao Qing leaned over to Yao Huang's side and said.
"You're not going to school tomorrow?" Yao Huang asked with slanted eyes.
"My brother-in-law and sister will go to the city tomorrow and give us a day off."
Yao Huang then remembered that her sister said that she would go to the city tomorrow to buy daily necessities and various spices, "Then you should get up early tomorrow." (To be continued......)
