Chapter 110: Witchcraft Doll
Hey, have you heard? There seems to be a Taoist priest in Kyoto recently, and I heard that he is quite famous? ”
"You're talking about the wandering man, right? I have long heard that the talismans he drew are very effective, and many officials and masters have sent people to buy them, saying that they can be used in the town's house. ”
After a few maids finished their work and had nothing to do, they secretly gathered together to chat. And their discussion happened to pass through the courtyard wall and fell into the ears of Xiao Yuan'er, who was passing by here.
She originally wanted to go out and go to Tai'an Temple before it got dark, and ask for a peace charm for Xiao Chumo to come back. However, the content of the discussion of these maids suddenly aroused her interest.
Xiao Yuan'er's heart moved, and she immediately turned around and walked around the courtyard gate on the side. Seeing her suddenly appear, several maids instantly stopped their mouths and quickly knelt down to salute.
was caught lazy by the master of the house, and there were many discussions, even if they were not from Xiao Yuan'er's yard, she also had the right to punish them. In more serious cases, they may even be kicked out of the house.
The people in the house all knew in their hearts that the second lady was arrogant and pampered, and her temper was very bad. was bumped into by her at this time, so didn't they even have a chance to intercede?
Obviously, these maids thought of going together in their hearts, and they all knelt on the ground and trembled, and they didn't even dare to come out. I only hope that Xiao Yuan'er will be in a good mood at this time and be able to open up to them.
In fact, the latter didn't want to punish them at all at this time, she was just interested in the Taoist priest they mentioned.
Xiao Yuan'er frowned, and casually pointed to the maid closest to her: "You come to answer me, what were you talking about just now?" What Taoist? ”
The maid she pointed out was originally trembling, "The slave maid has only heard...... No one knows who his surname is or where he came from, but because the talisman he drew is very effective, his reputation spreads far and wide......"
"The slave maid has a cousin who works as a cook in Lord Lin's house. That day, she accidentally heard Lord Lin instruct his subordinates to ask for spirit talismans, which she told the slave maid. ”
Probably afraid that Xiao Yuan'er would not believe her words, after the maid finished talking about the origin of the Taoist priest, she added another sentence and told her where she learned about this incident.
Xiao Yuan'er didn't care about this, and asked urgently, "Then where is that wandering Daoist now?" But you're gone? ”
"This ...... The slave maid didn't know, but she heard her cousin say that it was in the east of the city. But since it's a trip, I guess I won't stay for long. ”
After listening to this, Xiao Yuan'er went out of the house directly.
Since this wandering Taoist spirit talisman is so effective, why did she go to the Tai'an Temple on the outskirts of Beijing?
As those maids said, this wandering Taoist is indeed famous, and even many people in Kyoto have heard of his name.
This time he came to Kyoto, and his whereabouts were not concealed, and many people went to ask for or spend a lot of money to buy spiritual talismans every day.
After Xiao Yuan'er came out of the Ming State Mansion, she didn't even bother much, and stopped a passing person to inquire a little, and then successfully learned the exact location of the Daoist You Fang at this time.
"Miss, it seems to be the front."
The voice of a maid came in from outside the carriage. Xiao Yuan'er opened the curtain and looked, and sure enough, she saw a lot of people gathered not far in front of her, looking very lively. She couldn't help but frown.
As the second lady of the Ming State Waiting Mansion, Xiao Yuan'er's identity is originally more noble than that of most of the young ladies of the official family, so she naturally thinks very highly of herself. She has always avoided such a crowded crowd, and even has some disgust.
Seeing such a noisy crowd at this time, Xiao Yuan'er naturally hesitated. But at the thought of the doll in the mother-in-law's room, she gritted her teeth, got out of the carriage, and walked towards the center of the crowd.
Fortunately, Xiao Yuan'er brought two maids with her when she went out, and the driver who drove the car was also strong.
The three of them saw Xiao Yuan'er standing outside the crowd and refused to step forward, so they immediately understood, and hurriedly squeezed in first, helping her to open up a way.
Originally, there were many people who came here and some high-ranking officials and nobles, but at this time, they were forced out of a way by the three of them, so they were naturally very dissatisfied. But when he saw that the person who came over after him was Xiao Yuan'er, he immediately swallowed back the words he was about to scold.
The second lady of the Ming Kingdom Houfu has always been petite and arrogant, and she has caused a lot of trouble in Kyoto, and many people present know her. Therefore, they also knew in their hearts that this Ming Kingdom Houfu was not something they could offend.
Xiao Yuan'er turned a blind eye to all the dissatisfaction around her, and walked through the squeezed gap with peace of mind, and went straight to the door.
I have to say that no matter what the ability of this wandering Taoist is, just rushing to this pomp and circumstance can also make people feel that he and those swaggering gods are not all the way.
Xiao Yuan'er's frowning brows finally stretched a lot because she had arrived in an empty and quiet place.
The room was simple, with no extra decorations, just a table and a few stools for receiving people. A middle-aged man in a yellow and black robe sat behind the table, his arm bent to whisk the dust, his eyes slightly closed, and he looked like a worldly master.
It's just that he was born with a bit of sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, like the sinister villain in the drama. Even if his outfit is indeed correct, it really makes people unable to see the appearance of the fairy wind bones.
After Xiao Yuan'er entered the door, she noticed the You Fang Daoist sitting behind the table, but she looked at it for a while, and she still had some doubts in her heart. This person looks so much like those charlatans, is the talisman he drew really useful?
Although there was inevitably some hesitation in his heart, when he thought of those maids discussing, he clearly said that the talisman in his hand was extremely effective. In addition, when she entered the door just now, she also saw a lot of maids and maids outside, thinking that they should be sent by some dignitaries and nobles.
No matter how bold this wandering Taoist is, he must not dare to deceive these officials. Otherwise, as long as the other party randomly inserts a crime on his head, he is afraid that he will shed his skin if he does not die.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan'er can be regarded as relieved.
"Miss Ben heard that the talisman you drew is very effective, I don't know if it's true or not?"
Xiao Yuan'er opened her mouth to ask, and sat down on the chair unceremoniously.
