When Song Jue received the offer, a Taoist priest came to Songjiazhuang, holding a banner in his hand, with "Iron Mouth God Calculation" written on it, and a blanket hanging from his waist. The Taoist priest was dressed in a cyan robe, in his sixties, with gray hair, but a black and red face, and was in good spirits. After the Taoist priest entered the village, he went straight to the Qian Youcai family located in the south of Songjiazhuang. He walked back and forth around the house of Qian Youcai's house twice, and then stood at the door of Qian Youcai's house, staring at the door and sighing. At this time, Qian Youcai's body was a little better, and he was being supported by the family girl Qiu Ju, sitting in the yard and basking in the sun. He vaguely heard an exclamation outside the gate, so he sent Qiu Ju out to have a look.

After a while, Qiu Ju came back and said: "Master, there is a Taoist priest outside the courtyard, who seems to be a fortune teller, saying that our house should be a prosperous image, but it is shrouded in evil qi from the north. He also said that the master of our family must have just suffered a small catastrophe, and if you don't pay attention to precautions, a catastrophe will come. ”

When Qian Youcai heard this, he hurriedly sent Xiaoping to call the Taoist priest in.

The gentleman was also stunned when he saw the money that was described as withered. At this time, Qian Youcai said: "Where did you, a fortune teller, come from?" ”

The Taoist priest said with a smile, "The next person is called Qiankongzi, from Qingyunguan in Suzhou, and he traveled to Shishan Town. Last night, I watched the stars at night, and saw that the evil spirit was flourishing in the west, and this morning I followed the evil spirit, and the passer-by told me that this is Songjiazhuang. I see that the evil spirit is flourishing in the center of the village, and it is caged in the red bird. Your house is located due south, due south belongs to the fire, should have restrained the evil qi, but this evil qi is too violent. Just now, Xiaodao took a few turns around your mansion, and saw that the evil qi had entered the house and penetrated deep into the foundation. I am afraid that the owner of this house suffered a small robbery a few days ago. ”

Qian Youcai heard that "he had suffered a small robbery", and his heart was shocked. However, Qian Youcai still has some eyes, he rolled his eyes, and said: "Qiankong Zidao, everything is normal in the family, and nothing bad has happened?" ”

Qiankongzi sighed and said, "I came from afar, originally to get rid of this evil spirit, but the master didn't treat me sincerely." The old man looked sick, I am afraid that the evil qi has entered the body, the disaster is not far away, and the family will not be spared. ”

Qian Youcai dared to tell about the robbery on the night of August 14, so he had to change the subject: "Where did the evil spirit of the house come from?" ”

Qiankongzi said: "The evil qi is flourishing in the center of Songjiazhuang, and there is a yin qi in the east of the village to help it. ”

Qian Youcai said in his heart, isn't this the Song family and the Gao family? Could it be that this empty man knows that I have a grudge against Song Xiang, so he came to cheat money? But how did he know that I had been robbed? Is it really a bad thing?

Seeing that Qian Youcai lowered his head and pondered, he said: "It seems that this old man doesn't believe my words, so the trail will go back to Shishan Town first." I live in Room 2 of Yuelai Inn, if there is any trouble in your mansion, don't blame me for not reminding you. "Then turn around and leave.

Qian Youcai hurriedly said: "The Taoist chief stopped, this evil saying is too strange. So, how much money do you need to get rid of this evil spirit? ”

Qiankongzi didn't even reply, and said: "The master is not sincere, forget it, I'm also worrying blindly, the victim doesn't care, what am I busy with!" Anyway, ignoring the call for money and wealth, he really walked out of the Song Mansion and walked in the direction of Shishan Town.

In the afternoon, Qian Youcai, who was lying on the kang, heard the news that Song Jue was hired by the Mizhou Academy of Literature, and knew that the Song family was going to be an official again, and he was a little panicked. At this moment, the eldest son came over in a panic and told him that his grandson was sick with money, with a fever and a black lower body, but he didn't say how he got it. Dr. Liao, who was invited from Wutang Village, said that he was afraid that he would have to cut it. This scared the money enough. Misfortune is not a one-way street, Qian Lao Er also came back with a limp, saying that he was dismissed by the county magistrate, and later he was beaten by the ruffians and hooligans in the county. Qian Youcai's eyes widened, and he fainted directly.

An hour later, Qian Youcai woke up and said to his two sons, "Go quickly, go to the Yuelai Inn in the town, and ask the head of the second room of the land character." It can be spent as much as you want. Seeing that the two sons were inexplicable, Qian Youcai glared at Qiu Ju, and Qiu Ju hurriedly told her what happened in the morning.

Qian Youcai's two sons rushed to Shishan Town with Qiu Ju. In the evening, there was a hole in the eagle's beak. Hurriedly please go to Songjiazhuang. Seeing the empty spot, Qian Youcai hurriedly shouted: "Immortal Chief, save our Qian family." As he spoke, he got up and knelt down on the kang. He grabbed his arms. At this time, Qian Youcai trayed out the grievances between himself and the Song family, and naturally added oil and vinegar in the middle, saying how poisonous the Song family was, how bad Doctor Gao was, and now he was harming him with evil spirits.

Seeing that Qian Youcai had completely believed in himself, Qiankongzi said: "Master Qian, only now, only by removing the source of this evil qi can we protect the Qian family and protect the entire Song Jiazhuang." ”

Qian Youcai hurriedly asked, "What should I do then?" ”

Qiankongzi said: "Xiaodao needs to do a secret ritual tonight, and he needs Master Qian to write two pieces of paper, one is written 'Destroy the Song Clan, eliminate evil qi', and the other is written 'Eliminate quacks and drive away yin qi', and then cut your fingers and drop a drop of blood on each of the two pieces of paper as a talisman. When Xiaodao did something, he burned these two pieces of paper, and then combined with Xiaodao's 'evil charm', the evil qi could be quickly eliminated. Not only can your grandson recover, but even the second young master can be reinstated. ”

When Qian Youcai heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, ordering his son to go and get the pen and paper quickly. Qiankongzi said, "You can't use ordinary paper, you can only use rune paper." As he spoke, he took out two blank pieces of rune paper from his blank coat. If you have money, you don't care what kind of paper, he wrote two sheets on the kang tremblingly. Qian Youcai's original cultural level was not high, and half of these words couldn't be written, so they had to be left empty and filled in by the second son. In the end, Qian Youcai pricked another needle in his finger, and finally squeezed out two drops of blood and dripped them onto the rune paper he had just written.

In the courtyard, the two sons of Qian Youcai had already put the incense case up, lit two candles, and prepared a basin of water and a few plates of fruits. Qiankongzi took out a stack of rune paper with various symbols and put it on the incense table together with the two rune papers. It was dark under the lamp, so he made out the patterns and symbols on the rune paper and put the excess rune paper back into the blanket. Qiankongzi took out the peachwood sword again, and began to chant words in his mouth, swinging the sword. A quarter of an hour later, the rune paper was set on fire, and the ash of the rune fell into the prepared basin of clear water. Qiankongzi stirred it in with a peachwood sword again, making it "Taoist holy water".

Qian Youcai gathered all the people of the Qian family in front of the incense case, and even the cabinet full of money was dragged up from the bed by his father. He sprinkled a few drops of holy water on each of them to remove the evil qi from them. The excess holy water was sprinkled at the gate of the money house and in front of each house, and even a few drops were sprinkled on the windows, which was said to be protected from the erosion of evil spirits. After all these things were tossed, the money and wealth vacated the main house and meditated and recited the scriptures for the empty people.

Early the next morning, Qian Youcai took out ten taels of silver, but he did not refuse. Qian Youcai had to use a cart to send Qiankongzi back, but Qiankongzi waved his hand and left the Qian Mansion alone.

After saying goodbye to the Qian Mansion, Qiankongzi did not leave Songjiazhuang, but came to the residence of the old man Gao in the east of the village. Qiankongzi looked around, slowly approached the house, and crept into the house through the main entrance.

Qi'er delivered medicine to another family in Songjiazhuang, but she happened to be not at home. The old man who was sitting on a chair reading a book saw an old fortune teller come in, he was a little curious, and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything uncomfortable about the Taoist chief?" Is there a place to find a little old man? ”

Qiankongzi raised his hand, and then said: "Xiaodao traveled to Guizhuang, and I was a little thirsty, so I came to ask for a bowl of water to drink." ”

Old man Gao carefully looked at the Taoist priest in his eyes, he was also a very person, and immediately felt that the Taoist priest in front of him was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. Old man Gao's heart shook slightly, but he said quietly: "Dao Chief, wait a minute, there is tea served." ”

Old man Gao took a cup, poured the tea, and then asked very casually, "Where does the Taoist chief come from?" ”

Regarding Old Man Gao's reaction, Qiankongzi had already drafted dozens of times in his heart, so he replied unhurriedly: "I'm from the riverside." ”

Old Man Gao chuckled again in his heart, and asked tightly: "This place is remote, why did the Taoist master come here to wander?" ”

Qiankongzi drank all the tea, and said unhurriedly: "The trail traveled to Shishan Town, and found that there is an extremely yin qi, which is starting in this Songjiazhuang. And your mansion is exactly the source of this yin energy. ”

Old man Gao's eyes burst into light, staring at the old man in front of him, and he was a little out of breath. He had already recognized that the Taoist priest in front of him was the "butler" who had come once on August 16. Old Man Gao asked sharply, "May I ask the chief, how do you expel this yin qi?" ”

For Qiankongzi, Old Man Gao was also a person he was in awe of back then, so in the face of Old Man Gao's questioning, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart. However, Old Man Gao has now been reduced to a country man, and he is no longer the person who once shocked the government and the opposition in the past, so Qiankongzi also has a little confidence in his heart, he mustered up his courage and replied loudly: "If you want to get rid of yin qi, I'm afraid you have to eliminate the source of yin qi." It is yang, but it is yin. Yang and yin rise, neither men nor women, and should not move around in the world, otherwise, it will harm ordinary people. ”

Old man Gao only felt a buzz in his head, and cold sweat came down all over his body. He realized that he had been found and that the other party had come to the door. After all, Old Man Gao is not an ordinary person, but there is no one who has the ability not to "have a thunderous chest and a face like a peaceful lake", so although his back is already soaked with sweat, there is almost no expression on Old Man Gao's face. His hanging right fist was clenched, and his eagle-like eyes were staring at the other. Qiankongzi was not willing to show weakness, and looked at the old man Gao, but his hand under the guise was a little trembling.

After a long time, Old Man Gao suddenly smiled, his clenched fists loosened, and he asked like an old friend, "Then what is the Dao Chief going to do?" (Welcome to collect, comment, and ask for flowers.) ）
