Chapter 45: The Strange Affair of the Underworld (7)
It is said that Ding Liu was only resentful of Xiao Liu because of the old feud of kneeling on the incense penalty twenty years ago, and he used firecrackers to scare away the foxes chasing and fighting in the attic of the small courtyard.
In the end, the fox was indeed frightened by the sound of firecrackers and fled in all directions, but this family member who took the opportunity to take revenge on his old grudge was also hit head-on by a fox who had to jump out of the window and flee.
The man was frightened by this, and immediately turned around and prepared to go downstairs to escape, but he didn't want to step on the air in the hurry, and rolled all the way down the stairs.
When Xiao Liu heard the movement and rushed to the rescue with the people waiting outside the building, he found that the family who volunteered to go upstairs and throw cannons to drive away demons rolled all over the ground, and at this moment he was unconscious and lying face down on the ground.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Liu hurriedly sent someone to carry the family out of the small building and went to ask a doctor for treatment overnight.
Although the family was very lucky to save his life, but he also fell on his head and face for this, this body was blue and purple, and there was hardly a good skin and flesh, and finally the doctor invited by the house used a white cloth to wrap the rice dumplings left and right, and it took half a month to recover in bed.
It's just because this Ding is narrow-minded that he can't even let go of a little hatred twenty years ago, and he will take the opportunity to take revenge whenever he gets the opportunity, so there will be retribution for today's flesh and skin.
The foxes who gathered and frolicked in the attic did scatter and run away in all directions to the sound of firecrackers, and one by one they slammed the floor with their brains, but the family fell off the stairs after a long time, and they also suffered enough.
Who will benefit from such retribution? Therefore, the ancient sages specially produced a copy of the "Taishang Induction Sutra" to persuade the world to be good.
Its scriptures: If the heart is good, such as the grass in the spring garden, although it does not grow, it has increased day by day, so although the blessing has not come, the disaster has been far away.
If the heart is evil, it is like a sharpening stone, although it is not damaged, but it will be lost in the future, so although the evil has not come, the blessing has been far away.
Gossip is less, and the book is back to business.
It is said that the little Liu member saw that he had injured the family who went to the firecracker to drive the fox, and this time he was even more anxious, and he stomped his feet one after another.
It's just that there is a way to make a look at the family who broke his head and face, everyone present, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to come forward to earn the reward promised by Xiao Liu, and the heart said that although this hanging red is eye-catching, but he also has to enjoy the blessing of this hanging red, so everyone is desperately shrinking back.
Seeing that his subordinates did not have a brave man, Xiao Liu was also cowardly in his heart, stretched out his hand and pointed, scolded everyone with hatred, and finally stomped his feet, said "go", turned around and hurriedly led the group out of the small courtyard.
But it was said that after Xiao Liu escaped from the courtyard with a grudge that night, he was like a demon, and he was talking every day to recapture the courtyard from the hands of those hateful vixens.
Seeing this situation, several stewards of Liu's Mansion got together and publicly recommended Steward Li and Xiao Liu's external suggestions.
"Master Mingjian, the fox demons entrenched in the small courtyard have high mana, and now I am afraid that mortals such as me alone will not be able to suppress them, why don't you send someone to the famous mountain and grand view with generous gifts to invite a Taoist priest who has the ability to subdue demons to come back and exorcise them?"
As soon as the little Liu Yuanwai heard what Steward Li said, he patted his head as if he was waking up from a dream: "What Steward Li said is extremely true, since this Taoist priest dares to subdue demons as a profession, he must have something to rely on."
Steward Li, you will withdraw a hundred taels of silver from the public account, and go out for me, and you will definitely ask a capable Taoist to come back to get rid of this group of demon foxes, and take out this breath of anger for me. ”
It is said that after Steward Li received the order to go out to seek the way to subdue the demon from Xiao Liu, he went back to the room to pack up his package, then went to the account room to withdraw the silver taels, and took a family member with him, and went out to find the demon hunter.
About the twelfth or thirteenth day later, Steward Li came back with a middle-aged Taoist priest in his thirties with a cow heart and a yellow robe.
Listening to Steward Li's introduction, this middle-aged Taoist priest turned out to be the Xuandao Commander of Qingxu Mountain Jade Qingguan, and he was a well-known demon subduing master.
Seeing that Steward Li actually invited such a famous person, he was so happy that Xiao Liu stepped forward quickly and kept arching, and said that he had been looking up for a long time, and then stretched out his hand to extend the guest and invite the Xuandao to enter the inner worship tea.
After the head of the Xuandao used refreshments, Xiao Liu Yuanwai got up again, adding fuel and vinegar to the fact that a small courtyard in his back house was forcibly occupied by a group of fox spirits who had become a climate, and at the end, he bowed to the head of the Xuandao.
"It's annoying that those foxes, ghosts, and monsters wantonly bullied a pure white family like me, and asked the Taoist to avenge me, and there will be heavy thanks after the deed!"
When the Xuandao chief heard this, he touched the two handfuls of dog oil beard on his lips with his hand.
"Liu Yuanwai doesn't have to be anxious, listen to what Jun Shicai said, although this demon fox is a scholar and dressed, it is still full of mistakes and omissions, it can be seen that it has not yet cultivated into an immortal road, just an ordinary little demon in the countryside. Let's see that Poor Dao will take this group of demon foxes tonight, and let out a bad breath for you. ”
As soon as he heard that the Xuandao chief patted his chest, Xiao Liu Yuanwai was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the kitchen to set up a good wine banquet to entertain the Taoist chief.
The book is brief, and the Xuandao Chief, who had eaten a lot of wine and food that night, raised his sleeves and wiped his lips, raised the green steel sword with one hand, glared at him, and shouted: "Where is the demon fox?" He immediately followed behind Xiao Liu and went straight to the courtyard of the back house.
But it was said that the Xuandao walked to the door of the small courtyard, suddenly became long, grabbed two steps forward, raised his foot and kicked the courtyard door violently, and then shouted: "Ah, where did the demon fox dare to forcibly occupy someone's house, have you ever heard of the name of Yuqing Guan Xuantongzi?" The acquaintance left quickly, the Taoist master was kind, and Rao Er would not die! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice full of banter and mockery came from the second floor of the small attic in the courtyard: "I really haven't heard of this Xuantongzi, but I know that Xuanzi (a kind of folk juggling, similar to today's acrobatics), Lao Dao, are you here to perform juggling for us today?" ”
This made the old Taoist angry, and shouted: "Monster dares!" He immediately took out a yellow talisman from his arms, picked it up with the tip of the sword in his hand, and shook it in the air.
The yellow talisman on the tip of the sword immediately turned into a ball of fire, and with a "whoosh" sound, it shot straight towards the window on the second floor of the attic!
At this moment, I saw that the window on the second floor suddenly lit up, as if someone had lit a lamp in the room, and then a yellow light the size of a broad bean flashed through the window, splitting the fire thrown out by Lao Dao in the air in two.
After the yellow mang split the fire ball, the castration did not decrease, and there was a "snap", which was slapped on the face of the old man.
I only heard a miserable scream from the head of the Xuandao channel, and then he used his empty hand to desperately rub the place on his cheek that was shot by Huang Mang.
Listening to the crisp sound of "ding", a sheet of metal with a yellow light fell from Lao Dao's face and landed on the blue brick floor and spun non-stop.
When everyone present saw this, they all gathered around to take a closer look, only to find out that it was actually a small coin with a square hole.
At this time, the voice of the joke and mockery sounded again: "Well played, well played!" Lao Dao, you played so hard, I have a lot of rewards for the third master! ”
