Chapter 2: The Taoist Priest Who Cheating on Food and Drink (2)
"Amitayus! Poor Dao is the younger brother of Sun Yongsheng of Qingcheng Mountain, his Taoist name is Kong Fang, and he has seen Zhang Yuanwai! "Confucius Taoist palms and salutes, he has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, talking nonsense when he sees ghosts, talking about people when he meets people, and when he arrives at the home of dignitaries, he will claim to be a protΓ©gΓ© of Zhang Wanfu and Shi Chongxuan, and in the eyes of people like Zhang Yuanwai, Sun Daxian can catch ghosts and subdue demons, but he is much more famous than Shi Chongxuan, who wrote Taoist classics.
"Poor Dao was ordered by my senior brother to go out to find a few immortal medicines, I saw that this Jincheng Mountain had a bit of aura, so I came all the way over, and I happened to meet your mansion to find the way." He saw Zhang Yuanwai's eyes spinning, and he didn't seem to believe Fang Cai's words, and glanced at Zhang Cai next to him, seeing that he was expressionless and didn't speak for himself, obviously the heat of the dozen copper coins had passed, and he hated it in his heart, but he was helpless, so he had to continue with a hard head: "Originally, the poor Taoist was looking for medicine, but the Taoist self-cultivation is not self-cultivation, and the evil spirits and demons can increase cultivation, so I recommended myself to come." β
Zhang Yuanwai: "Oh! He was concerned about the price, like the Bodhi a few days ago, the evil did not drive away, but took away two pieces of money, but just looked at his face full of yellow and white filth, he was embarrassed to ask for it, this time he had to ask clearly.
After pondering for a moment, he asked, "I don't know how much incense money I need?" β
Kong Fang Daoren smiled slightly: "You can't drive away the evil, and the poor Dao won't take a penny!" He already knows this, as long as he gets started, even if he doesn't need labor fees, he always has to pay for the incense ash and talisman paper, and tonight's dinner and accommodation have also been settled.
Zhang Yuanwai was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "One day late, it will be one minute deeper, without further ado, the Taoist will start now!" β
The Taoist didn't answer, and turned back to Li Qing and said, "Apprentice, take the soul bell for the teacher." β
Li Qing responded, took out a blue cloth bag from his bag, and was about to open it, but he stopped his hand again, and smiled at Zhang Yuanwai: "Please stand far away, this soul bell is a bit powerful, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it." β
After speaking, he handed the package to the master, ran away from the distance, and looked nervously, this Zhang outsider saw that his face was solemn, but it was not like pretending, and he believed it a little, and hurriedly stood aside, not knowing what tricks he was going to make.
Kong Fangdao carefully opened the package, took out a red bell, there are holes in the bell, are plugged with white linen, it is filled with some sulfur fire yao, if necessary, spray fire to deceive the villagers in the mountains, this Zhang is only afraid of some knowledge, with the fire fell down, only to see him holding the bell, to the southeast corner of the sway, and to the northwest corner of the sway, the posture is like a police dog to detect mines.
In the end, he carefully wrapped the bell with a package, his face was gloomy, and he shook his head and said to Zhang Yuanwai: "Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, don't you hear the saying that 'the ghost knocks on the door with the full moon'?" Originally, I was in a hurry to go back to the mountain, and I also wanted to forcibly give it a try, but I tested it just now, and the yin qi of your house is too strong, and the evil is yin, and it is not easy to drive it away, so it needs to be carried out under the sun. β
"But the senior monk last time also said that it is okay to do it at night!"
Seeing that Zhang Yuanwai was still a little hesitant, Kong Fangdao saw that the apprentice glanced at him, followed his gaze and squinted, and saw that there was a woman's skirt faintly at the moon gate next to the wall, and he knew in his heart that it must be the person who was in charge hiding there and eavesdropping.
With a slight sneer in his heart, he sighed and said: "If the staff is determined to exorcise evil spirits tonight, I am afraid that the old mana is limited, but it will ruin the life of the son!" Lao Dao still has to go to collect medicine, please be smart outside! β
Bent down, picked up his money bag and said, "Apprentice, let's go!" β
Li Qing agreed, put the package on his back, and strode out of the door, Kong Fangdao shook his head, smiled bitterly, and left with his apprentice, but he was silently reciting in his heart: "One step, two steps, three steps, people come!" β
"Immortal Grow Slowly!" Sure enough, a female voice came, Kong Fangdao laughed in his heart, slowed down, turned around in surprise, and saw a woman swaying from the moon gate, followed by a young woman with a sad face, followed by a group of maids.
Zhang Yuanwai saw his wife come out, and secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, he actually wanted to dig out the details of this person first, and then bargain for a while to gain the upper hand, but his mother-in-law came out of the bad thing, his mother-in-law is usually very shrewd, but he is too spoiled son, once it involves his son's matter, he becomes like a stupid woman, let others slaughter, thinking that his Huang Cancan's copper money is going to be given to this sloppy Taoist in vain, his heart is really painful.
"Immortal go slowly, please save Xiao'er's life!" Mrs. Zhang flew like a butterfly and blocked the way, and Yingying gave him a blessing.
Kong Fangdao saw that although this woman was over forty years old, but the were still charming, she was wearing a purple sara on her shoulders, wearing a pomegranate flower-dyed dance skirt, a large piece of white flesh was exposed on the red bandeau, and her figure was rich and bright, and she actually pressed the young woman next to her, and her eyes were straight, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Li Qingzheng thought that this lady was so frost-resistant, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Lao Dao was fascinated by the beauty in front of him, his ugliness was revealed, and he despised it in his heart, so he coughed heavily and said loudly: "Master, didn't Uncle Shi tell us to go back within ten days?" If you don't leave, it'll be too late! β
The old man screamed at him, and then his soul returned to his place, and he laughed dryly and said: "It's okay to be one or two days late!" He glanced at the lady's chest again.
Mrs. Zhang seemed to be unaware of the filthiness of this person, and said with a smile: "If the immortal chief drives away the evil, the slave family will be rewarded heavily!" β
Ignoring her husband's desperate glances on the side, she said loudly: "Please invite the two immortals to the guest room to rest, and entertain them with good wine and food!" β
A few family members came to pick up their luggage, but they couldn't take the bags in the hands of the passers-by.
Early the next morning, Kong Fangdao people used the excuse of purchasing incense and candles, went to the county to find a cabinet to save the money, and then easily walked out, and went to the teahouse, to two kinds of fine, make a pot of tea, listen to a few white books, see that it is near noon, then return leisurely, only to have lunch, it is good to do to exorcise evil spirits.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw that Zhang Yuanwai was waiting there in the morning, and his apprentice was standing behind him, and Zhang Yuanwai saw him come in and said with a smile: "The dog has just taken a nap, just in time, is the Taoist ready?" β
Kong Fangdao was surprised, and only looked at the apprentice behind him, only to see him shrug his shoulders and spread his hands to express helplessness, so he had to secretly think: "I'm afraid that this time I met a person who is not good at bluffing, it must be because he saw that he ate and drank hard last night, and his heart hurt, it seems that if he doesn't have some real skills, don't think about this lunch." β
Thinking of this, he smiled faintly and said, "It's okay!" I have purchased all the incense and candles, and when I go to change my clothes and get a few magic weapons, I will start chasing evil spirits. β
He pointed at Li Qing again: "If you do it later, I'm afraid it will startle the young master, and let my apprentice go and watch him." β
According to the method discussed by their master and apprentice last night, if they want to get the heavy gratitude of their wife, they can only make a fuss from the root of the disease, as long as they can persuade the lost young master, this evil will be successfully exorcized, so the key to this exorcism is still on Li Qing, as for how to persuade it, it is Li Qing's own business.
Zhang Yuanwai heard that he was reasonable, so he called the housekeeper in the house and instructed: "Zhang Fu, you take this little Taoist chief to the young master's room, light your hands and feet, don't wake up the young master." β
"Yes! Master. The housekeeper nodded and stepped forward with a smile, revealing a large yellow tooth, which was extremely wide, and it was convenient to gnaw on the melon skin.
The housekeeper turned his head to look at Li Qing, his smile suddenly disappeared, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Come with me!" β
This housekeeper is called Zhang Fu, is the big housekeeper of Zhang's house, the ancestors have served this Zhang family for three generations, the last time the Bodhi Shi was found by him, but it turned out to be bad, and he was scolded by the master, yesterday he also saw the performance of Kong Fang Taoist, it seems that there is a bit of Taoism, but more importantly, the young master seems to be a little tired, maybe he really went down this ladder, and he cheapened these two Taoists in vain.
Zhang Fu was extremely uneasy in his heart, these two Taoists were found by Zhang Cai, the henchman of the second housekeeper Zhang Lu, if it was done, the credit would be his. This Zhang Lu has long wanted to grab his position, if he is really deceived by these two Taoists this time, won't he have the upper hand? The more Zhang Fu thought about it, the more frightened he became, it was a matter of livelihood and livelihood, how could he be careless, he had something in his heart, his pace naturally slowed down, and finally stopped, pointed to the front and said: "I'm busy with affairs, I don't have time to accompany you, you just go forward." β
Li Qing looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that there were two entrances in front of him, seven bends and eight windings, there were three forks alone, and all the houses were the same shape, so how could he find the young master's room, so he smiled and said: "The housekeeper said that he laughed, how do I find it, the master's practice is about to start, if something is wrong, your young master's life is worried!" β
"Humph! You don't come to scare me, everyone understands people, to tell you the truth, the lord also hopes that you will get out of here quickly! Zhang Fu crossed his hands on his chest and sneered: "Aren't you boasting of your superb Taoist skills? My young master is evil, as long as you find where the evil qi is, you won't know the place, why do you need me to guide you, my little fairy adult? β
Li Qing heard him speak harshly, and he was slightly angry, and when he glanced at it, he saw a maid in green pants and a red jacket running past in the middle door, his eyes rolled, and he had a plan in his heart, so he sneered: "The front is the inner house, and I am a foreign man running around in it, isn't it the responsibility of the housekeeper to startle the inner family?" If the housekeeper thinks it doesn't matter, then it's okay, if I see any ladies and concubines, I will say that they are Zhang Fu's instructions, let them go and cry to the master! β
Zhang Fu just took two steps but was stopped by him, his feet were nailed to the ground and he couldn't move for half a step, his face was swollen purple, and he pointed at him and said angrily: "You, you are talking nonsense, so bold!" Someone's coming! β
Several family members came running in response, "Big housekeeper, what's the matter?" β
Li Qing smiled slightly and said, "Big butler, Madam is waiting in a hurry!" β
Zhang Fu was really depressed in his heart, so he had to snort heavily, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you guys go!" β
When a few family members walked away, he stomped his foot and said hatefully, "Follow me!" β
Walking up a corridor, at the end is Zhang Qiu's room, the door is hidden, leaving only a gap, Li Qing felt something, picked his eyes, but saw a copper basin placed on the door, if he rashly pushed the door, this copper basin will inevitably fall down, the copper basin in ancient times was extremely heavy, not to mention thirty or fifty catties, if it was smashed, even if no one died, the concussion was inevitable.
"A gentleman with a naughty mentality, but his heart is also vicious!" Li Qing immediately made up his mind to this young master, he saw that the housekeeper didn't seem to notice, and went straight to push the door, just about to remind, but remembered what he had just done, besides, if he didn't let this copper basin fall, he would have to encounter other obscure things sooner or later, and in a hurry, he actually bit his tongue and swallowed the reminder back.
He took a step back, looked at the butler with pity, closed his eyes, and listened, 'Bang Dang! There was a loud noise, followed by the butler's screams, and he opened his eyes slightly, but saw the butler holding his right shoulder, half-squatting down in pain.
