Chapter Eighty-Three: Old Kong Fang

Wang was ordered to ask the old road to catch ghosts, he hired a donkey cart and went straight to Laojun Mountain to drive the mountain in the southwest of Yibin County about 20 miles, the legend is that the old gentleman ascended to heaven place, so the incense is vigorous, the Taoist temple is numerous, but the mountain is high and the road is steep, the road is difficult, as if to test the piety of the pilgrims, Zhang Wang and people made an appointment to drink flower wine at night, only afraid that he could not come back at night, and urged the donkey cart to go quickly, but the stubborn donkey was whipped a few times, and he actually lost his temper, standing at the foot of the mountain and refused to go up the mountain, helpless, Zhang Wang had to scold while walking, mixed with a group of pilgrims and walked to the mountain.

Maybe Lao Jun also knows that drinking is more important than catching ghosts, only let Zhang Wang climb less than 100 steps, and then sent an old Taoist who is good at catching ghosts, this old Taoist five short figures, scorched yellow face, long a pinch of goatee, is Li Qing Chu into the Tang Dynasty guide, Kong Fang Taoist is also, after years of not seeing, he does not seem to have any major changes, but the legs run thinner, these years he he traveled all over the world, still pretending to be a ghost, deceiving some silver rice to make a living, recently Yibin County gold rush fever, he also took the crane to come to join in the fun, temporarily pending a single in Laojun Mountain, On this day, he was about to descend the mountain into the city, but he accidentally found his prey.

Kong Fang Taoist people have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, refining a pair of fiery eyes, as early as a hundred steps away to see the anxious and panting Zhang Wang, seeing that he is dressed as a housekeeper, that is, he does not take incense, nor carry a bag, empty-handed, he smiled slightly, took out the guy who was eating from the backpack, half-closed eyes, and stood on the side of the road with his hands waiting for the rabbit.

'Jingle bell', the soul bell drew Zhang Wang's gaze, Zhang Wang couldn't help slowing down, looking up and down at this Taoist priest, only to see that he turned his back to himself, stared at the clouds, and wore a black Taoist robe in the clouds and mist in the mountains There is a bit of fairy spirit, as if it is the passing immortal, recalling the old things of Laojun. But what really interested Zhang Wang was that he was holding a black Three Realms Soul Flag, the top of which was a sheep's head and white bones, with gold edges and colorful lines, and two lines of white characters embroidered on the front, 'Who am I, the devil knows.' The words are eye-catching and dazzling, and people have a long aftertaste.

Zhang Wang seemed to be frightened by the spirit flag, and involuntarily stepped forward, he was about to speak, but the Taoist priest stretched out his hand to stop him, poured out a fiery red pill from the purple gold gourd, and handed it to him without looking back: "Go!" Take this Sanqing Pill, and the evil qi in your body can be eliminated. ”

Zhang Wang took it and fell to the ground in admiration, 'Master! People don't look at themselves, they know that they have evil qi in their bodies, and this evil qi must be infected by Lao Yu.

"Little dare to ask, I don't know the name of the immortal elder, in which famous temple is the monk?"

Lao Dao turned his head and looked at Zhang Wangdao lightly: "Mortals only know the word profit, which is just a passing cloud, I laughed at the white clouds and dogs for hundreds of years, and I have long forgotten who I am, maybe the sky is my number, and the earth is my view." ”

Zhang Wang's eyes were straight, and his heart suddenly had the idea of seeking immortals, and he couldn't wait to immediately peel off his vulgar clothes and pants, put on the robe of the Heavenly Master, and go to the world with this immortal, but he suddenly remembered that there was still no flower wine tonight, so he would put on the robe of the Heavenly Master for a few days!

"Immortal Chief, my house is haunted, and I just need a master like Immortal Chief, I don't know if Immortal Chief is willing to go down to earth."

Kong Fang's heart was really proud, and he glanced at Zhang Wang's face again, and saw that he seemed to be too respectful, if he shook two more immortal qi, I am afraid that he would not even have the courage to speak, but it would be bad, it is better to accept it when it is good, thinking of this, Kong Fang smiled slightly: "Go down?" Am I not in the mortal world now? That's it! After refining the eighty difficulties in the world, take off a stinky skin, and you can lead the way in front. ”

**************************************

The curtain squatted in the corner of the wall and fanned the small stove lightly, the medicine in the jar 'cooed', she looked at the sky uneasily while decocting the medicine, the sun was already slanting in the west, and it was about to be dusk, Zhang Wang had been gone for so long, why hadn't she come back, she looked up at Li Qing who was sleepy again, and her heart began to be a little anxious, she was fine in the morning, why did she become groggy again at this time.

At this time, there was a sound of fast footsteps in the front yard, and the curtain stood up and said to Xiaoyu, who was collecting quilts in the courtyard: "Xiaoyu, go and see if Zhang Wang is back." ”

After a while, Xiaoyu ran back and said, "Yes! There is also an old way behind. ”

The curtain was overjoyed, dropped the fan and ran out of the door, and there was an old Taoist priest sitting in the living room, seeing the curtain coming in, Kong Fang hurriedly got up and saluted and said: "Amitayus longevity, poor Kong Fang has seen Mrs. ”

He was shrouded in the fog of Zhang Wangyun Mountain, which was just a means to pull business, once the business was in hand,

Jump down from the clouds, otherwise the owner will be ashamed to talk about money, and even dinner will be lost, fairy! Naturally, it is a meal, a drink, and what kind of food to eat.

He used teaching immortal arts as bait along the way, and he had already found out the situation of the family clearly from Zhang Wangkou, and learned that it was actually a haunted county order, and seeing that the county order lady was not very old, Kong Fangxin felt a little contemptible, and then the lion's mouth gradually opened.

The curtain looked at Kong Fangdaoren, and saw that he was short, his two mung bean eyes were dripping and spinning, the smile on his face revealed a bit of hypocrisy, and the Taoist robe on his body was bright, but he couldn't hide the copper smell on his body, and his heart was slightly disappointed.

"The Taoist chief is willing to come to exorcise evil spirits for my house, I thank you here, as long as the Taoist chief really has the ability to exorcise evil spirits for my master, I will definitely be rewarded!"

"I'll talk about this and this reward later, but I'm in a hurry with Steward Zhang, and I'm worried about the county magistrate, so I can't even take care of lunch, I don't know if I can go first.

"I will naturally arrange dinner, why don't the Taoist first come and see if my master is evil."

Kong Fang saw that the other party was anxious, and his heart was even more proud, and the price he had just thought of immediately doubled, and he smiled and said: "Madame, don't worry, I have carefully observed when I entered the mansion, your mansion is indeed evil, and it is the evil of water, madam, am I right?" ”

The curtain glanced at Zhang Wang, and saw that he was standing at the door uneasy, and his eyes looked outside from time to time, so he said lightly to Kong Fang Daoren: "You are right, my master's illness is related to water, since the Taoist chief has not eaten dinner, it is not in a hurry at this time, the Taoist chief will go to dinner first." ”

She called Song Mei and ordered her to take Kong Fangdao people to dinner first, and she came back to Li Qing's room, sitting on the edge of the bed and staring at him blankly, she reached out and stroked his face, and carefully examined his face with a deep, gentle and inquiring eye, to make up for her usual dare not look closely, his wide face was flushed with red light, like a clear morning, his eyes were gently closed, revealing a happy, happy and happy look, and the straight and tall nose bridge, the angular lips, it seemed that he was strong and outstanding, at this time, Curtain felt that he was the most handsome man in the world, and Curtain slowly pillowed his face on his broad chest, listening to his even and powerful heartbeat.

In the middle of the night, she looked up, straightened her back, got up, and walked to the brisk kitchen.

The sky is already dark, the moon is bright, the earth is sprinkled with silver light, a table has been placed in the small courtyard of the inner house, the incense and candles on the table are readily available, the full of wine and food Kong Fang Taoist began to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, only to see that he is clothed with a hair, the black Taoist robe looks particularly strange in the moonlight, he dances like a toad, the left hand dances the spirit flag, the right hand gently shakes the spirit bell, the two mung bean eyes radiate a blazing blue light, staring at the house of the county commander, the mouth is reciting, from time to time there is a night-like strange scream, as if in the upper body of the spirit, But it's more like expressing inner remorse.

Just now he offered the highest price in his life, thirty runs, but the county order lady didn't blink an eye, and agreed, Kong Fang Daoren's heart at this time was as painful as ants, as if he himself had fallen evil, and he knew that he would offer ten times, no! One hundred.

His movements became more and more crazy, and began to deform, like a cramping orangutan, the hat was thrown off, the incense candle on the table was overturned, and there was only a light rod left in the spirit banner of his hand, and the banner was picked up by several of Song Mei's children and put on the kennel, just when Kong Fangdao was so remorseful that he almost hit the wall, he finally woke Li Qing up with a shout.

Li Qing opened his eyes in a daze, stretched out his hand but grabbed the air, the curtain was not around, he only heard a burst of ghost crying wolf howls from the courtyard, but it was faintly familiar, it seemed that he had heard it somewhere, he thought about it carefully, gradually, his eyes showed a trace of surprise, he couldn't believe the answer he thought of, he couldn't care about the weakness anymore, he threw off the quilt, barefoot, staggered towards the door.

Curtain was standing at the door watching the performance of this Taoist, as long as there was a glimmer of hope to drive away the evil spirit in Li Qing's body, she didn't care how much it spent, she suddenly felt something, and when she turned around, she saw Li Qing standing behind her, staring directly at the Taoist in the courtyard.

"Gong, why are you barefoot? Fast! Go quickly. ”

Li Qing didn't seem to hear it, he rushed out of the door and shouted: "Old Kong Fangdao, is it you?" ”
