"What? What does it have to do with that Taoist priest?" Ma Quan asked, putting down his wine glass and raising his head.

"My lord doesn't know, this Yuelai Inn was haunted three years ago!" Liu An said with a frown.

"Hahahaha!" Ma Quan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed and said: "This must be a lie made up by that Taoist priest, Jianghu Warlock, don't believe it! It's okay to deceive others, I don't want to eat him." ”

"My lord, this is true!" Seeing that Ma Quan didn't believe it, Liu An was anxious, and he told Ma Quan what Xiao Liuzi had told him just now: "Three years ago, on the first day of the opening of this Yuelai Inn, all the rooms were full, and it was very lively during the day, but at night, the good day suddenly blew violently, and all the guests heard a woman's cry, the voice was extremely miserable, and it sounded like it came from the room!"

"Ridiculous! You can believe such a thing? It's just a sudden change in the weather, what's so strange about a strong wind at the foot of this big mountain?" Ma Quan shook his head, poured a glass of wine, and drank it up.

Shopkeeper Li didn't believe it at the time, and the next night, he moved in by himself, but nothing happened. But on the third day, when some guests came to stay, the woman's cry reappeared. Shopkeeper Li deliberately stayed in the store that night and didn't go home, he really heard the woman's cry! Only then did he know that there was a ghost in the inn!" Liu An said this, he was clever, obviously thinking about the picture at that time, and shuddered.

"Shopkeeper Li invited a lot of monks and mages to do things, but it was useless, and at night, the cry of the female ghost still sounded. It lasted like this for more than a month, and the inn of the shopkeeper Li couldn't be opened, because it was haunted, and no one wanted to take over. Shopkeeper Li was so anxious that he wanted to die, but at that time, he met this Taoist with the name of Yiqizi. ”

"Hmph, a hammer? Sure enough, it's a countryman, and he can't even get the road number, so I really don't know how he came out to cheat. Ma Quan said disdainfully.

"No, my lord, the Dharma name of the Taoist is taken from the 'one-foot qi.......' in the "Zhuangzi", Liu An saw that Ma Quan mistakenly took "one qizi" as "a hammer", and hurriedly explained, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ma Quan.

"The 'one foot of air, half of the day, inexhaustible' in "Zhuangzi Tianxia", do you still need to tell me?" Ma Quan's voice suddenly rose a few points.

"Subordinates should die, subordinates should die!" Liu An knelt on the ground with a "poof", secretly regretting in his heart, he had been convinced of ghosts and gods since he was a child, and in a hurry just now, he involuntarily had the idea of arguing for a Taoist leader. It's really damned, Ma Quan is a martial champion, a civil and military all-rounder, and he knows a little bit about Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.

Liu An lowered his head, his face was pale, and he didn't even dare to come out.

After a long time, Ma Quan said in a deep voice: "Get up, go on." ”

"Yes, my lord!" Liu An stood up slowly, but still lowered his head, and said: "The Taoist leader walked around the inn, drew a talisman, and pasted it in the main hall. The spell pointed to the back hall in the wind, and with a move of the right hand of the Daoist Chief, the wind stopped. Yizi Daoist asked the shopkeeper Li if there was an ancient well in the back hall before. When the shopkeeper Li heard it, he admired it very much, before the Yuelai Inn was built, there was indeed an ancient well in the back hall, it was said that there was it in the previous dynasty, but it was a dry well, and the shopkeeper Li buried it. ”

"A head of the Taoist said, there is a female corpse in this ancient well, the ghost does not disperse after death, it is entrenched in this ancient well, Li shopkeeper buried the ancient well, built an inn, the female corpse ghost is not peaceful, naturally crying every night, so that Li shopkeeper can not do business. Liu An peeked, Ma Quan's face was solemn, as if he was thinking, and continued: "Shopkeeper Li dug up the ancient well in the back hall, dug three feet into the ground, and sure enough, he found a female corpse, which had rotted. That night, the practice of opening the altar of the Taoist attracted the soul of the female corpse, and it was learned that she was a person from Shen County, Zhili Province, married to Zhejiang, and was killed by a strong man and thrown into this ancient well. Shopkeeper Li followed the words of the Taoist leader of a hammer and ordered someone to put the female corpse in a coffin and send it back to his hometown. Since then, the inn has never been haunted. ”

"That Taoist priest's method of summoning spirits was seen by Shopkeeper Li with his own eyes?" asked Ma Quan.

"This ...... It's not that when a hammer is long, no one is around. Liu An thought for a moment and replied.

"That's it, it's just some deceptive tricks, bluffing the people and fighting the people. Ma Quan smiled and said.

But the address of the female corpse is exactly the same, how can it be a trick to deceive people, of course, Liu An took these words to heart, but he didn't dare to argue with Ma Quan anymore.

"Well, you go. ”

Liu An was stunned suddenly, quickly knelt down, and said hurriedly: "Adult, the little one really knows ...... wrong."

"What, you don't want to go home?" Ma Quan said, "Come here on time tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Yes, Master Xie is complete!" Liu An reacted at this time, thanked Ma Quan, and went home happily.

"Female ghosts, drawing talismans, summoning spirits, hehe, if there are really these weird things, what use do you want us martial artists!" Ma Quan shook his head, what Liu An said just now, he didn't believe it at all.

It was midsummer, Yueqing Village was close to Yandang Mountain, the mountain wind blew, it was not hot, but there were a lot of mosquitoes, and there was only one mosquito net in the herringbone room where Ma Quan lived. At night, the horses were tossed and turned, but somehow, they were not sleepy. He opened his eyes and lay on the bed, his mind full of things about how Taoists do to summon spirits.

Is there really a ghost in this world? Ma Quan shook his head and couldn't help laughing, he was a dignified martial artist, how could he be deceived by this Jianghu warlock's carving insect skills.

Ma Quan turned over, put on his clothes, and walked to the back hall to go to the toilet, he was brave and brave, and did not hold the lamp, when the sky was full of stars, there was a cicada chirping in his ears, and the breeze was blowing, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Coming out, Ma Quan suddenly saw a figure flashing through the back door, and by the faint moonlight, he could vaguely see that the person was not braided.

In this Qing Dynasty, in addition to the desires of the previous dynasty and women, there are only Taoist priests who do not keep braids.

Ma Quan had an idea, could it be a Taoist priest?

It was late at night, and the hour was about to pass, and he did not rest in his room, but sneaked out, what was his intention? Ma Quan thought about it, and decided to follow him, to see what he was going to do.

Ma Quanxiu is the thirteenth Taibao horizontal practice of kung fu, although the practice is a foreign hard skill, but he once followed the master to learn for two years when he was a teenager, and he knows how to collect qi and income. He tightened his shirt and tiptoed to follow the Taoist, only to see him walking straight in the direction of Yandang Mountain, and did not look back along the way, obviously not expecting that someone was following him at this moment.

Yandang Mountain since the Southern Dynasty period Liang Zhaoming Prince built a temple and built a tower under the Furong Peak, after thousands of years of development, has already become a well-known scenic spot, artificially excavated mountain ladder directly leads to the major peaks.

But the Yizi Daoist avoided the stairs and walked halfway up the mountain along the muddy mountain road overgrown with shrubs.

Don't take a good road, you have to take such a difficult mountain road, Ma Quan scolded in his heart, while deliberately keeping a distance from the Yizi Daoist, the forest here is dense, and if you are not careful, you will step on the fallen branches, make a sound, so you have to follow carefully.

Although it was pitch black all around, the head of the hammer did not stop, shuttling back and forth in the forest, as if he were walking through the day. After walking for a long time, a hammer suddenly turned to the left and walked horizontally along the mountainside.

Ma Quan saw it from behind, and there was no trace of the place where the hammer was going, what was he going to do? At this time, a gust of mountain wind blew, and he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

To follow or not to follow? Ma Quan hesitated for a moment, and then thought to himself, how could he be intimidated by a warlock? This person ran into the barren mountains and mountains in the middle of the night, he must have a ghost in his heart, maybe he is a villain, if he cracks his conspiracy, it will be a great achievement. Thinking of this, Ma Quan no longer hesitated and followed.

After walking nearly 100 meters, a little fire appeared in the forest in front of him, and there were already people waiting inside!

As long as he figured out who he was gathering with and what the purpose was, Ma Quan could send him to the government the next day.

Ma Quan took a deep breath and frowned, he knew that the more critical the moment, the more cautious he had to be. When the hammer leader walked into the flickering forest, Ma Quan waited for a while before quietly following.

Ma Quan hid in the bushes, held his breath, and looked into the woods, and saw only human figures by the moonlight, not knowing how many there were. And a Qizi Taoist stood in the middle of the crowd, and a person on the opposite side saluted him with his palms folded.

That man didn't have an inch of hair on his head, he turned out to be a monk!

Ma Quan was stunned, you must know that since the first year of Shunzhi, the Qing Dynasty set up a monk in Beijing, following the example of the previous dynasty, advocating Buddhism, Taoism has long been in decline, on weekdays, Taoism and Buddhism have almost no contact, why do you want to gather sneakily on this Yandang Mountain tonight?

Could it be that there is an ulterior secret between the monks and the Tao?

He remembered that there were rumors among the people, saying that the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism were unwilling to be taken away by the Han people, and they had always been "in the Manchurian camp and in the Han Dynasty".

Yes!

Ma Quan's heart suddenly warmed up, and he suddenly remembered that the Holy Lord was about to tour the south in the near future, and he would definitely inspect the Buddhist temples along the way, and the meaning of this group of monks and Taoists gathering here and now was not clear! These people must be the remnants of the previous dynasty, and they intend to do evil to the Holy One!

The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty converted to Buddhism, and the saints thought of the kinship of flesh and blood, and these monks were bound to be neglected. Most of the disciples of Buddhism have practiced martial arts since childhood, and the masters are like clouds, if they are incense in the saint, suddenly there is a monk with strong martial arts......

It's a pity, I was bumped into by my horse, hehe, the sky is going to kill you, no wonder me. He thought about it again, if he informed the Holy Lord of the plans of these remnants of the previous dynasty, he would definitely increase the number of officials and knights, and then he would use a little means, what about the governor of Zhili!

The decision has been made, Ma Quan only felt full of courage, although the other party was outnumbered, but there was no fear, and quietly sneaked up.
