Chapter 015: The Water Demon Occupies the House
When the dawn first came to the earth, Qin Xuan drove the carriage slowly into Chenghe Town at the foot of Mangdang Mountain. Fighting the spirit, Qin Xuan looked around. I muttered in my heart: I have to find an inn quickly, if I don't sleep again, I will be tired and lie down. As the carriage "clicked" forward, Qin Xuan inadvertently heard the strong man carrying the flat shoulder talking to the old man beside him.
"Lao Wang, do you think the Li family's mansion can still be inhabited?"
"Hanging!"
After walking dozens of steps, another middle-aged woman was talking to the old woman beside her.
"Aunt Sun, I haven't heard that something happened to the Li family!"
"There are big and small things in Chenghe Town that my grandmother doesn't know?"
Qin Xuan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and there was a wave of anger in his heart: What happened to the Li family, why is everyone talking about it!
Finally, Qin Xuan found an inn. When I got out of the carriage, I heard another sound in my ears.
"The brothers of the Li family are really miserable!"
"In other words, now you can't even live in the house!"
Qin Xuan's eyes were a little depressed, he swallowed and spit, and called Zhang Lao and the others into the inn.
In the lobby of the inn, several young men chatted together.
"Hey, something happened to the Li family, who took me to visit Mangdang Mountain?"
"In other words, something happened to the Li family, it's really uncomfortable!"
Qin Xuan sighed and thought secretly: The Li family, the Li family, since entering the town, there has been talk about the Li family everywhere.
Seeing Qin Xuan stop, Zhang Lao turned around and said, "Zhihao, hurry up and rest!" If you are curious about the Li family, you will ask tomorrow! ”
The next day, after noon, Qin Xuan woke up. Stretching his waist, he walked slowly to the inn lobby. When Xiao Er saw Qin Xuan, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "Childe, are you awake?" Would you like to get some food and drink? ”
Qin Xuan was indeed a little hungry at the moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, get some hot dishes and blanch a small pot of wine." ”
Xiao Er's voice was high: "Okay! With a roll of his eyes, he asked again, "Does the son's family need some food and drink?" ”
When Qin Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ergao in his heart, this is definitely a good salesman! Nodding slightly, he said, "Well, they are probably hungry too, and when they wake up in a while, you can ask them." ”
When the wine and food were served, Qin Xuan suddenly remembered the matter of the Li family and beckoned. "Little second brother, I don't know what happened to the Li family, why were people talking everywhere yesterday."
Xiao Er was also kind to words, and said eloquently: "The brothers of the Li family, the elder brother is called Li Zizheng, and the younger brother is called Li Qingrui, they are the hunters in the town, and their lives are comfortable. It's a pity that Li Qingrui got dirty things a few days ago and couldn't afford to get sick! ”
Qin Xuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said curiously: "Unclean things? ”
Xiao Er looked at Qin Xuan with strange eyes. "Childe, don't you, you don't even know this? It's a ghost! ”
Qin Xuan was originally an atheist, and this crossing made him also a little skeptical, and he sighed mutteringly. "Is there really a ghost or a god?"
As soon as Xiao Er heard Qin Xuan's words, he hurriedly stepped forward to cover Qin Xuan's mouth, and said matter-of-factly: "Childe, don't say anything more, if these things are stained, it is not a trivial matter." It's still Moti! ”
Qin Xuan said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, little brother, how do you know that the Li family has something unclean?" ”
Xiao Er said with a sad face: "Childe, don't mention it, if you want to know, you will go to the Li family to see Liu Banxian's method in a while!" ”
Liu Banxian's practice? Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, I haven't seen this thing, I have to go and see what I say in a while. "Little brother, when will Liu Banxian do it?"
"Doomsday!" After finishing speaking, Xiao Er left in a hurry, and kept muttering: This son is easy-going and generous, how can he ask anything!
Xiao Er was so angry that he left, and Qin Xuan just smiled bitterly. Raised his left hand, brushed off his long sleeves, looked at his watch, and thought: It was three o'clock at the end, and now it is just over one o'clock, and there is still more than an hour, which is almost enough to go to Li's house.
After he was full of wine and food, he went out of the inn and asked someone to ask about it, and Qin Xuan knew the location of the Li family. Walking casually towards the Li family, he met many people on the road who were ready to go to the Li family like him, and praised Liu Banxian from time to time. Listening to these people's discussions, Qin Xuan became even more curious about Liu Banxian's methods.
The courtyard of the Li family is much larger than Zhang's hometown, and the three main houses also look good. In the middle of the courtyard is a one-foot-square wooden board, which I heard is something that Liu Banxian will use for a while. There is a large water urn next to it, and some animal fur hangs from the back of the water urn. A burly, sturdy physique, dark complexion, heroic between his eyebrows, a young man about twenty years old stood majestically in front of the room, Qin Xuan looked at the young man, and thought in his heart: This person should be Li Zizheng, the elder brother of the Li family!
The crowd gathered at the gate of the courtyard suddenly became a little noisy. Two Taoist-looking people, one large and one small, walked through the crowd. Look at the two people, one is dressed in a blue and gray robe, with a silver hairpin and hairpin, faintly revealing a fresh and refined temperament. The other has a handsome face, red lips and white teeth, and has a little fairy child taste.
Everyone looked at the two of them with some respect, and Liu Banxian seemed to be very satisfied with the reaction of the onlookers, and looked a little complacent. Seeing Li Zizheng coming up, he asked solemnly: "The day before yesterday, the poor Taoist looked at your family's feng shui and found that there was a water demon who was a monster, but I don't know that the poor Taoist asked you to put three incense sticks in the east every day, have you ever done it?" ”
Li Zizheng looked a little indifferent, his face was expressionless, and he gave a tepid "En", which can be regarded as an answer!
Liu Banxian saw that Li Zizheng's response was a little cold, and felt that he was not convinced enough of himself, so he turned to Xiao Daotong and said: "Ruqing, prepare a demon needle and a demon bowl." Wait for the teacher to make a decree The water demon appears and see how its mana is? ”
Xiaodao Tong Ruqing nodded respectfully: "Yes, master!" He removed the wooden box from his back and pulled out a half-long silver needle and a palm-sized iron bowl. Qin Xuan looked at it from a distance, and saw that the silver needle was no different from the ordinary embroidery needle, but the iron bowl was a little strange, and the inside of the bowl turned white.
Liu Banxian took the demon bowl from Ruqing's hand and slowly placed it on the wooden board in the courtyard. Then he scooped half a scoop of water from the water urn on the side, and poured it into the demon bowl with words in his mouth. shouted: "Ruqing, fix the demon needle!" ”
Xiaodao Tong Ruqing hurriedly handed over the demon needle, Liu Banxian twisted the demon needle in his left hand, and walked around the demon bowl with gossip steps. Walking faster and faster, the dust was slightly raised. After a while, Liu Banxian stopped, slowly put the demon needle on the surface of the water, pointed with his right hand, and shouted: "Now-"
Everyone and Qin Xuan were a little dumbfounded. The demon needle actually floats but does not sink. Liu Banxian's expression was painful, he exhaled, and said in a weak tone: "The water demon has appeared." ”
Li Zizheng, who had always had an expression like ice, couldn't help but be a little moved, and asked, "Immortal Master Liu, can you submit?" ”
Liu Banxian shook his head and sighed: "It is quite laborious to cast spells and demons. As for whether you can surrender, you can only ask God. ”
Li Zizheng was silent and stared at Liu Banxian. Liu Banxian originally wanted to enjoy Li Zizheng's compliment, but seeing that Li Zizheng was expressionless, he felt bored. "Ruqing, ask the heavens!"
Ruqing intently took out a bamboo tube from the wooden box, which was densely packed with bamboo sticks. Liu Banxian took the bamboo tube and said slowly: "There are one hundred and eight signatures for this question, in view of the fact that the water demon has not yet gathered aura, so it is enough to use Tiangang's question." You choose thirty-five from one hundred evil lots, and one from eight auspicious lots, to form the Tiangang lottery. ”
Li Zizheng took the bamboo tube and found that each bamboo stick was exactly the same, so he randomly selected thirty-five murderous sticks and one lucky stick. Liu Banxian handed over the other bamboo sticks in the bamboo tube to Ruqing, took the murderous stick, and threw it into the bamboo tube with the word murder engraved with the word murder face down. Hold the auspicious sign, close his eyes and say: "The ancestor of the Sanqing Dao is above, the disciple is really quiet, and he wants to get rid of the demons. ”
After a moment, Liu Banxian opened his eyes and threw the auspicious signature inscription into the bamboo tube with its head down. handed the bamboo tube to Li Zizheng and said: "This Tiangang's question needs to be shaken to nine times, and the poor road can draw lots to ask the sky!" ”
Although Li Zizheng was puzzled, he still took the bamboo tube and shook it nine times. Liu Banxian closed his eyes and casually took out a stick from the bamboo tube. Looking at it, it turned out to be an auspicious sign, Liu Banxian looked excited, and even said: "Okay! Good! Dao Ancestor manifests, this demon can descend, you can rest assured. However, the poor had to prepare delicacies for God to possess. ”
Li Zizheng's expression was slightly anxious, and he asked, "Immortal Master, I don't know what delicacies to prepare?" ”
Liu Banxian shook his head and said helplessly: "Four dishes and one wine!" ”
Li Zizheng asked again: "What food, what wine?" ”
Liu Banxian sighed and said: "A roast leg of mutton, a steamed pheasant, a braised grass carp, a big insect tongue, and a pot of clear wine!" ”
Li Zizheng frowned slightly and asked, "The tongue of the big worm may be able to be obtained on the mountain, but where do you have to find this clear void wine?" ”
Liu Banxian said helplessly: "The Sanqing Dao Ancestor only likes these five things, if he doesn't, I'm afraid that I won't be able to invite his old man." ”
Li Zizheng saw Liu Banxian Gu talking about him left and right, and said: "Tell me the Immortal Master, where to find Qingxu wine!" ”
Liu Banxian said regretfully: "Qingxu wine, there is a pot in Poor Dao, but Poor Dao originally wanted to use this wine to change a house in Chenghe Town for repair." If it is given to you, I am afraid that the poor road and the disciples will live on the streets. ”
When Li Zizheng heard this, his face tightened, and he sighed: "Immortal Master, when I catch the big insect from the mountain, you cast a spell to save the foolish brother, and my courtyard will be sent to the Immortal Master for cultivation!" ”
Liu Banxian couldn't help but feel excited. "Okay, then go back and get Qingxu wine, and you go up the mountain to catch the big worm!"
Looking at Liu Banxian's distant figure, Qin Xuan always felt that something was strange in his heart, and he closed his eyes and thought: Is this Liu Banxian real or fake? What he did just now was amazing, and I'm not sure that there really aren't any ghosts and gods in this world. What's wrong? Floating needles in the water, drawing lucky lots, I don't understand, it's all because I was partial to liberal arts when I was in school, if I was good at mathematics, physics and chemistry, maybe I could distinguish the true from the false.
Out of the Li family, Qin Xuan lowered his head and pondered, what was wrong with Liu Banxian? Suddenly, he clapped his hands and muttered: "Yes, Liu Banxian finally wants a house, if he is really a Qing cultivator, he should not want these mundane things, he must be a liar!" I have to go and talk to the Li brothers, so as not to be deceived! ”
