Her mother's family was also afraid of face, and she was unwilling to accept the homeless Xiuhua, so she gave her some money and things to let her behave herself.

Encountering such a great change, Xiuhua lost all her thoughts, stumbled to the edge of a cliff with her son, and wanted to jump off the rest of her life, but she glanced at the son in her arms, and found the courage to live.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, Nian Lang is close to the age of standing, due to the thin family background, no one is willing to marry his daughter, there is a family surnamed Long girl and Nian Lang have the same interests, intent to get married, the old man of the Long family does not think that Lu Nianlang has a thin background, but he is afraid that his daughter will suffer if he marries in the past, so he said to Lu Nianlang: If you earn enough five hundred shells, you can welcome my daughter to pass the door.

Since then, the two mothers and sons have gotten up early in the dark for the 500 shell coins.

After more than 20 years of hard work, Xiuhua's body has been scarred, Lu Nianlang felt sorry for her mother, and asked her not to work and enjoy life at home.

But Xiuhua is the master who is idle, especially after knowing that his son can marry his daughter-in-law after earning enough 500 shells, he is reluctant to eat even eggs, so he sells them all.

One day, Xiuhua carried a large basket of eggs to the market to sell, I don't know if she was infected with the wind cold, and she coughed along the way, and passers-by sighed that Xiuhua's life was bitter.

A group of people wandered through the crowd, and when they heard people talk about Xiuhua, they were quite interested, so they inquired around.

Within half a day, Xiuhua sold all the eggs in the basket, packed up the downside and set off home, just out of the market, a Taoist priest came and stopped in front of Xiuhua.

"Good man, do you know the Xiuhua of Changsheng Village?" the Taoist priest asked politely.

As soon as she heard that she was looking for herself, Xiuhua immediately raised her vigilance and asked coldly, "Dao Chief, what are you looking for her?"

"That good man lived a hard life, lost her husband at the age of seventeen, and her family was ruined, all because there were monsters in her family, and the monsters were not eliminated, and they became stronger and stronger, and I am afraid that her son's life would not be long in coming. My master Ling Yuzi took pity on her and sent Poor Dao down the mountain to help her kill demons. ”

After hearing this, Xiuhua thought about it, and suddenly, her heart sank, her knees weakened, she knelt down for the Taoist priest, took the Taoist priest's hand, and cried and begged: "Dao Chief, is there a way to resolve this matter? Dao Chief, you must have a way, right? Dao Chief, please save my son, please save him!"

Seeing Xiuhua so flustered, the Taoist priest secretly rejoiced in his heart: "This person is so nervous about her precious son, it seems that there is a play!"

"There is a way, but ......"

Before the Taoist priest finished speaking, Xiuhua cried: "But what, as long as I can save my son's life, I can promise you anything." ”

The Taoist priest first looked around, and then pretended to pick up Xiuhua and comforted: "There is a way, there are many people here, it is inconvenient to say more, you come with me." ”

As soon as she heard that there was a way to crack it, Xiuhua followed the Taoist priest to a secluded place as if she had been hooked.

The Taoist priest looked around again, saw that there was no one around, took out a cloth bag from behind him and handed it to Xiuhua, and whispered in his ear: "There is a plague god in your family, who has followed you for many years, and it was it that killed your family back then." Thou shalt pack up all the money and goods of thy house and bring them to me, and the god of decay shall possess thee, and shall come with thee, and I shall do so, and when the plague god comes, he shall die without a place to be buried, and thy son shall survive this calamity......

Xiuhua listened carefully, nodded again and again, and finally said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Before leaving, the Taoist priest repeatedly advised: "Remember, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, no one can know about this matter except you and me, otherwise your son's life will be difficult to save the immortals." ”

Looking at Xiuhua's distant back, the corners of the Taoist priest's mouth were slightly upturned, and he looked triumphant.

It turned out that he was not the apprentice of Lingyuzi Qi Daochang at all, he was just using his reputation everywhere to deceive people.

Lu Nianlang is filial, and the savings he usually gets through hard work are handed over to Xiuhua to take care of, and after a long time, Xiuhua brought all the hard-earned money of himself and his son over the years to the Taoist priest.

When the Taoist priest saw Xiuhua approaching, he took out a peachwood sword and shouted, "Demon, if you see the poor road, you won't be captured quickly!"

After finishing speaking, he waved the wooden sword and gestured around, as if he was fighting with people, which was extremely intense, and Xiuhua on the side was shocked.

After a while, the Taoist priest was sweating profusely, panting, gathered to show the lace, took out a few sticks of incense and said: "Good man, this demon has high mana, and it will not be able to be cleaned up for a while, just in case, you take these few sticks of incense to guard the door of the house, and you can cut off the retreat of this demon." ”

Xiuhua obeyed her orders, didn't even have room to think, put down a bag of finances in her hand, took a few sticks of incense and ran home desperately, for fear of running slower and letting the plague god run home again.

When the Taoist priest saw Xiuhua walking away, he stopped gesturing, picked up a bag of shellfish coins left by Xiuhua, threw it in his hand and said, "I didn't expect this tattered old woman to hide so much money, and she made a fortune." After finishing speaking, he walked away and disappeared into the vast rivers and lakes.

Xiuhua, who returned home, lit the incense, inserted it at the door of the house, and waited silly.

"Mother, mother, mother! enough, enough!"

Lu Nianlang ran to the house excitedly from the outside at this time, and saw his mother standing there at the door, hugged him, hugged Xiuhua like a child, and said excitedly: "I am lucky today, I went out and met a rich master, and bought all my goods at a high price, I have enough money to marry a daughter-in-law." Mother, Miss Long and I can finally get married!"

Qian Xiuhua remembered that her whole net worth was still at the Taoist priest's, and she looked back at the incense at the door, which had burned out, so she got rid of her son's embrace and rushed to the Taoist priest, I don't know why, her heart was full of uneasiness.

Lu Nianlang saw that his mother was behaving abnormally, so he couldn't rest assured and followed.

Xiuhua came to that secluded place, looking around, it was empty, where could I see any Taoist priests, and the bag of shellfish coins was naturally nowhere to be found, and she realized that she had been deceived.

The two mothers and sons have worked hard to accumulate wealth for more than ten years, and they were deceived overnight, not to mention nothing, not even their son's daughter-in-law, and the despair at the age of seventeen was repeated again.

Xiuhua felt that there was a big stone blocked in her chest, and she couldn't catch her breath, so she fainted, and when she woke up, she was already delirious, but she kept chanting: "Son, my mother is sorry for you, my mother should die, my mother should die......"

Xiuhua's life is no longer able to take care of herself, Lu Nianlang has no thoughts about marriage, she stays by Xiuhua's side, never leaves, and takes care of her meticulously, but her health is getting worse, and she can't survive that winter, and she died in a snowy night......

After burying his mother, Lu Nianlang sold his only family property, packed his bags, and stepped out of Changsheng Village, he vowed that even if he was at the end of the world, he would find that Taoist priest.

A few months later, Lu Nianlang met Qi Daochang, and after Qi Daochang heard about what happened to him, he personally found the cloud Daoist who deceived him by shell coins.

Qi Daochang not only abolished the Yundao Chief Dantian, but also sued him to the yamen, and the official was furious and put the deceitful Yundao Chief in prison.

Daoist Qi and the official went to the Long family to say goodbye to Lu Nianlang, and collected 500 shell coins, so that Lu Nianlang could marry the daughter of the Long family as his daughter-in-law, and comforted Xiuhua's spirit in the sky.

Qi Daochang is a wanderer, who travels all over the world on weekdays, subdues demons and destroys demons, and when he is in a prosperous place, he will divinate for people in the downtown area, eliminate disasters and dooms for people, and do good deeds.

On this day, when he came to a place, he saw that there was a lot of traffic and people coming and going, so he stopped and found an open space, and just took out the Pingjin Fan that said that it was written that subdued demons and eliminated demons, and eliminated disasters and disasters, and saw a woman come forward.

"Chief, please save my child!" said the woman.

Seeing that she was pale, her eyebrows were worried, her face was sad, her eyes were bloodshot, and she seemed to have not had a good rest for a long time.

"This good man, what happened to your child?" asked Daoist Qi.

"A few days ago, my child, who was less than seven years old, was playing in front of the house, I was cooking in the house, and after making a meal, I went to call him, but I found him fainting on the ground, I thought it was just the child's weakness, and there was no big problem, but when the child woke up, he became stupid and stupid, lost consciousness, and no one recognized him. ”

The woman said with red eyes: "I took him to see the doctor in the village, and the doctor couldn't see what the disease was, and prescribed a few calming decoctions, but it had no effect, his father died early, and I was left to live with him, and now he has an accident again, but how can I live!"

When the woman finished speaking, tears overflowed her eyes, and she looked very sad.

"Don't be sad for a good person, can you take me to meet your child?" asked Qi Daochang.

The woman nodded, wiped away her tears, and walked home with Daoist Qi.

The woman's house is very remote, the two of them walked for more than half an hour to arrive, on the way to talk with the woman and learned that there are many children in the village where the woman is suffering from this stupid disease, all of them are inexplicably sick for no reason, the village is full of evil spirits, eating children's souls, children lose their souls, so they become stupid.
