Poetry Cloud:

Recalling the heyday of the Kaiyuan Dynasty in the past,

Xiaoyi still hides thousands of rooms.

Rice fat corn white,

Both public and private warehouses are abundant.

In the early years of Tianbao, the world was ripe, and the rice was only ten dollars. It is said that under the county of Langzhong in Jiannan Road, there is a county named Yilong County, there is a mountain in the south of the county, the name Jincheng Mountain, the legend Ge Hong is in this feather into an immortal, there is still a Baopu Cave, the forest between the mountains is deep, the flowing water is murmuring, as if the five grain dojo of Ge Hong still exists, this mountain absorbs the essence, it is quite a bit of Lingxiu atmosphere.

On this day, two people came on the mountain road, an old and a young Taoist priest, walking in front of a Taoist boy, said that the Taoist boy was tall and tall, his face was already an adult, he was dressed in a soapcloth short brown robe, wearing a purple bamboo crown, carrying a coarse cloth bag, although it was a Taoist boy dress, but the gestures revealed a bit of casual and free, different from the temperament of ordinary Tang people.

He jumped on a strange rock, looked at it carefully for a moment, turned around and smiled: "I said the old way, the mountains and stones here are beautiful, why don't you build a Taoist temple here, so that you can retire and ascend to heaven." ”

The old Tao behind him is even more unbearable, there is no fairy wind bones on his body, he is short, his face is burnt yellow, and the cloth bag on his back weighs like a thousand catties, which makes his mouth crooked and his eyes are slanted, and his hair is messy, and the sky is in the middle of thirty-nine, but the beads of sweat are gathered along the goatee, and the big drops fall to the ground, and the blue Taoist robe is also soaked inside and out, looking at it from a distance, the white mist is steaming out of the top of the head, but it has nothing to do with the Taoist immortal spirit.

"Do you think I don't want to? Everywhere is looked down upon, and his legs have been thin in the past two years. He leaned against the boulder and pushed the bag on his back up with great difficulty, and then said hatefully: "Isn't there just no money? It's easy to save a few copper plates, but I bump into you again! ”

Speaking of money, the Dao Tong glanced at the cloth bag on Lao Dao's back and laughed: "I've never seen someone take money like you, can't you exchange it for silver?" This ten yuan weighs fifty or sixty pounds, depending on what weighs you down, I'll take it for you! ”

Lao Dao saw Dao Tong's wolf claws grabbing high on his back, and he was so frightened that he took two steps back and lost his balance, 'Plop! He sat on the ground and said hurriedly: "You should carry your luggage, there is a guy we eat in there, I can carry this money myself!" ”

He struggled to get up, patted the dust on his body, and thought, "It's a little too heavy, after going down the mountain, I will find a cabinet shop to store." He looked up at the sky again, and saw a few dark clouds floating in the western sky, and he hurriedly shouted: "It's not early, you should see if there is a way down the mountain nearby, don't sleep in the wilderness again." ”

Dao Tong woke up, his stomach rumbled, but he was hungry, and he was busy beating the curtain to look around, and suddenly he smiled dumbly and said, "Isn't it the way down the mountain under my feet?" ”

The old Taoist was overjoyed, rushed to the road first, the Taoist boy jumped off the stone, and a bronze sword fell out of the bag, and he didn't care about putting it back in place, grabbed it in his hand, and hurried a few steps to chase the old road, the two shouted and screamed, and gradually the sound went away.

This boy is called Li Qing, who was the accountant of the finance office of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and traveled to Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan Province with his colleagues on the National Day. After receiving the favor of others, he naturally got retribution, and thought that he had nowhere to eat, so he agreed to be his apprentice for a year and help him.

Said to be a Taoist priest, in fact, it is just pretending to be a ghost, coaxing some foolish people, defrauding a few money and rice to get by, this kind of trick, Li Qing's era is everywhere, and the old Taoist cooperation a few times, but also handy, he was realized some new ideas, two days ago in Xinzheng County deceived a large family, coaxed the old lady ten coffin books, afraid that people will see through the official, only to find some wild mountain roads to escape, the two of them actually ran to this Jincheng Mountain.

Under the mountain is Yilong County, the population of the county is less than 5,000 households, with Zhang, Wang two surnames as the largest, among which Zhang surname is the most famous in the south of the county Zhang Bailing Mansion, the reason is not that his family is the richest, but his wife is the daughter of the Xinzheng County Wang clan Xian Yu family, the patriarch Xian Yu Shijian has two sons, both of whom are officials outside, with this backer, this Zhang Mansion has naturally become the official gentry of Yilong County.

Zhang Bailing is afraid of the inside, but also caused his family Ding Buwang, only one son under his knees, named Zhang Qiu, when he was young, he fought cocks and horses, and when he grew up, he was obsessed with the Qinglou, and he slept in the willows on weekdays, and he was also quite famous in Yilong County.

But in the past two days, Zhang's mansion has been in a mess, the young master Zhang Qiu suddenly became demented and salivating, with a crazy face, hugging his mother and calling his mother, pulling his father to call the little girl, Zhang Yuanwai urgently invited a famous doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and took his pulse for a long time, and the conclusion was: evil spirit.

Zhang Bailing went everywhere to find some monks and Taoists with spells, two days ago came a monk, like a Bodhisattva, smiling like Maitreya, pinching the hand of the flower, chanting the Diamond Sutra, calling himself the Bodhi of the South China Sea, coming to Middle-earth to Pudu sentient beings, so that Mrs. Zhang really thought he was a Bodhisattva, good food and good food were served, but at the end, Zhang Qiu deducted a jar of feces and urine on his bald head, and fled.

Although Zhang Qiu's illness is serious, except for the drowning Zhang couple, everyone in the Hefu understands the root of his illness, the reason is that Zhang Qiu's uncle who is an official outside has some ways, and seeing that the county lieutenant of Xinzheng County is almost at the age of retirement, he wants to find an errand for his nephew, and take care of his family by the way, but there is only one condition, that is, he must have a meritorious name, at least a person. The letter came to Zhang's house, Zhang Bailing was overjoyed, although the county lieutenant did not enter the stream, but he was also an official, but he turned his mind and cooled his heart, his son did not even have the qualifications to be a child, how to talk about lifting people, fortunately, there were still one or two years before the county lieutenant retired, and now it was too late to learn.

Although Zhang Bailing also felt that there was something strange in this evil, he was old and couldn't help his wife's rolling pin, so he had to send someone around to look for immortals and ask.

......

"His grandmother's, where to find the plague pig Taoist priest who hunts ghosts?"

Zhang Cai rubbed the red and swollen bag on his forehead, and scolded angrily, this is already his third violent tremor in the past two days, obviously the young master is pretending, but the lord and the lady can't see it, and drive all the family members out to find what monk and Taoist, this cold winter wax moon, monk Taoist priest can't nest in the quilt and think about nuns and Taoist aunts?

"Amitayus! Is the benefactor looking for a priest? ”

Zhang Cai was startled, turned around quickly, as if he had seen a ghost, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back, he just thought about the Taoist, the Taoist priest appeared behind him, only to see an old man and a young Taoist priest appear in front of him, all looking at himself with a smile, the old Taoist priest was wearing a blue linen robe full of prickly hairs, with spots on it, and I don't know what it was, his left hand shook a horsetail to whisk the dust, but his right hand dragged a coarse cloth bag, looking at the posture, as if he was afraid of being snatched, his knuckles were pinched white, and the young Taoist priest next to him, His body was covered with dead branches and grass clippings, and his two fists were clenched tightly, although he was also smiling, but there was clearly some ill-intentioned in that smile.

Zhang Cai panicked for a while, and stammered: "Yes, but..."He was very hesitant, the two in front of him were not so much Taoist priests, but two called Huazi, can they bring them back to the house?

"But what? We are authentic Taoist priests in Qingcheng Mountain, and we have the degree of the government. The young Taoist priest touched his body for a long time, but he didn't find it, and said with a smile: "Maybe it's in the package!" He was ready to open the huge duffel bag and search for it.

"That's it! Look no further. Zhang Cai's head ached, and he sighed in his heart, stopping the young Taoist.

"My house is indeed looking for a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits, you two can come with me."

The two Taoist priests glanced at each other, and they couldn't hide the ecstasy in their eyes: "If they are asked to interpret any Taoist classics, I'm afraid it will be difficult to bluff, and catching ghosts and driving away evil spirits is not what they are good at?" ”

At the beginning of ghost hunting, you have to look at the people first, the family's clothes are half-new fine linen, the shoes are silk cloth bottoms, but they are washed white, just glance at Zhang Cai's wear, Kong Fangdao people have a preliminary inference about Zhang's family background: big families, just afraid of a little stingy.

"Little brother, how long has it been since you came out? In this cold winter, can you have dinner? ”

Zhang Cai glanced at them and said lightly: "Don't worry!" If you are allowed to exorcise evil spirits, you will always be fed" He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly whispered: "I called you here to exorcise evil spirits for the young master, you can remember one thing, the young master's evil is in his heart, dispensable, understand?" ”

The two of them were overjoyed, the meaning of this family's words was that his young master was not evil at all, Kong Fangdao hurriedly took out a handful of money from his pocket, and quietly stuffed it to Zhang Caidao: "I have to remind the little brother that with this money, the little brother can go to drink a bowl of wine to warm his body." ”

Zhang Cai was afraid that the two would cause an accident and affect him, so he reminded him in advance, but there was an unexpected gain, he checked the copper coin, although the money was not much, but this flattery made him very useful, and put it in his pocket, the copper coin jingled, and it was beautiful to his heart. After thinking about it for a while, he still told the two of them in detail about the causes and consequences of the young master's evil, and it was regarded as repaying the love of these dozen copper coins, and finally told him again and again: "My lord is easy to speak, but the lady is a little strict, and the two of them have to recognize people." ”

"Save! Save! "Kong Fangdao people are busy answering the Tao, can't you see it when you eat this bowl of rice?
