I wanted to ask the master for help, but I was grabbed by the throat and couldn't speak, and the people next to me were ready to come on stage to help me, but I felt that my neck was about to be choked.

I faintly heard the master kiss her.

I thought to myself, is the master crazy, kiss her? But I didn't have time to think about it, this was the female horn's face just close to me, so I used all my strength, struggled, and finally kissed the black and purple lips.

A faint aroma, as well as the feeling of flesh, although a little cold.

I felt that the strength of the female horn had become weaker, and then I heard an eagle roar, and I saw a golden eagle swooping down on me, passing through us, and the female horn seemed to be drained of its strength in an instant, and fell, just crushing me under me.

By this time, everyone had already come up to the stage, helped the female horn and me, I wiped my lips, and stood aside shyly.

Wang Daring stood next to me, already overjoyed, and said with a smile: "I can't see that the little Taoist priest is still a lustful Taoist priest." I didn't speak, the master glared at him, and said to everyone, "Now it's just to scare away the snake demon, and it is estimated that it will come back to make trouble, so you all go and buy some sulfur tomorrow and scatter it next to the house." ”

Wang Qing asked, "Daoist Chen, then you have to find a way to get rid of it." ”

The master said, "I know this, I have to go back and find a way." Everyone is tired tonight, let's all go back, I'll draw some symbols first, and you will stick them on the door tonight. ”

After that, the master drew talismans and distributed them to everyone, and only in the middle of the night did he return to Taoist Bay with the master.

On the way, I asked the master, why did you tell me to kiss her? The master explained: "You are a child man, you are angry, and you are a tiger, kissing her is to give her some yang energy, so that the control of the snake demon can be smaller." "I asked again how I could get rid of the basilis. The master told me that he didn't know either, and that he had to go back and check the book.

I thought that the master was omnipotent, but I didn't expect that there would be times when I didn't know. When I returned to Daoist Bay, the master told me to go to bed early, and then went to the study.

When I woke up in the morning, I found that the master had also fallen asleep in the study. The sound of me pushing the door woke him up, and the master saw me come in and smiled, "I finally found a way." ”

The master told me that the study was full of Taoist books, collectively known as "Daozang", and the content of the books was all-encompassing: Taoist teachings, drawing runes, various mantras and prayer documents, alchemy formulas, and self-cultivation.

I asked the master how long it would take to finish reading these.

The master smiled: "I'm afraid I won't be able to finish reading it in my lifetime." The fundamental doctrine of Taoism is that there is mutual reincarnation and mutual restraint, and the Tao is natural. These are the summaries of the monks of the past generations when they were cultivating, and this book may be the life of the author. ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "Then we cultivators are afraid that we will never be able to preach." ”

The master smiled: "The road is simple." You see, there have been Lu Dongbin and Ge Hong in history. I said, "Those are also immortals who can only produce one in many years, and we ordinary people are afraid that they really have no future." ”

The master stood up, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "We ordinary people can't become immortals, but after you really cultivate, you will understand the truth of going with the flow, and at that time you will feel that cultivating immortals is no longer the goal." ”

The master then put away the books in his hand and put them on the bookshelf.

I asked, "Master, what did you find to deal with that snake demon last night?" ”

The master said, "Guiding the thunder array." ”

"Thunderfield?"

"Yes, animals also practice Taoism, when I drew the talisman, I asked the class master the specific content of the snake demon singing, the big snake was in the mountains for decades before his death, and he also thought that one day he would be able to cross the catastrophe and become an immortal, and he didn't want to be disturbed by the people of Nawangwan to practice, so he came to take revenge, and moved the mortal heart, and was later killed, and he was resentful. Now the only way to do this is to lead the lightning and thunder in the sky to kill this demon animal. ”

After that, the master asked me to go to the shroud shop on the street to buy some Huangmiao paper, and he went to inform the people in Wang Wan to choose a thunderstorm day to get rid of demons.

The shroud shop on the street, is opened by one of my grandfathers, this grandfather family ranks eighth, our family people all call him eight masters, and because he likes to play cards, the people around him call him "king", which means the "king" in poker, he eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles all his life, is proficient in everything, and is bold, no children under his knees, a few years ago, his wife died, and he continued to run this shroud shop alone.

As soon as I entered the shop, I saw a bunch of people playing cards in the house, and the card tables were propped up in the back room, and beside them were all paper boys and girls and other dead people's things, and they were all blind and enjoying themselves.

The eighth master was facing the door outside, I saw him, called out to the eighth master, he saw that it was me who came in, and teased: "Oh, my little grandson is here." I heard that you kissed someone last night, you are so young, I didn't even hold a woman's hand at that time, you are the pride of our family. The people next to him burst into laughter and quipped, "The king has now found a successor." The eighth master also laughed, looked at me and asked, "Xiao Hao, why are you here?" ”

"My master asked me to buy Huangmiao paper."

"Huangmiao paper is a pile of dollars, take it yourself, and you can put the money in the counter drawer by yourself."

The man with his back to me turned his head to look at me, and I saw that it was a raw face, and the man asked in a foreign accent, "You haven't caught that snake demon yet?" ”

I shook my head, then carried the Huangmiao paper, put the money in the drawer, and went out. ”

Back at Daoist Bay, the master had already returned from Wangwan, cut a bamboo, split the bamboo, and made the bamboo into a sharp bamboo stick with the thickness of a little thumb. I asked the master, "What is this for?" You don't have to sharpen your chopsticks. ”

The master explained, "It's a prop. ”

"Aren't the props usually made of peach wood or something, so why do you use bamboo?"

"Our Taoism originates from nature, paying attention to mutual restraint, this is the snake ability is an animal that is afraid of bamboo, and second, it is that bamboo is more evil, just able to lead thunder."

"What's so evil about bamboo?"

"Look at this bamboo, when it grows up, it will be straight, and it will always reach the sky, then it will be yang, but the inside of the bamboo is empty, it is empty, it is yin. Therefore, one yin and one yang are both rigid and elastic. That's why people choose it to be a flat shoulder. If you look at other trees, they are either hard and easy to break, or they are weak. ”

Then the master took the Yellow Temple paper, drew the talisman on it with a red pen, and then asked me to boil some paste, and then rolled the painted Huangmiao paper and glued it to the bamboo stick, leaving a corner, making it look like a small flag.

The master said that this is the thunder flag. When the time comes, you can form a gossip array, and you can draw thunder from the sky.

Once you're ready, just wait for the thunderstorm to come. Fortunately, it is still the end of summer, and on the third day, someone from Wangwan came to the master, saying that after hearing the weather forecast, there may be thundershowers in the afternoon, so the master and I took the magic tools and went to Wangwan again.

In the past two days, I asked the master about the leaves in the box, and the master showed it to me, and I opened the box and saw that it was still a little wet, and when my nose was close to it, there was a smell, and the master explained, "This is a willow leaf soaked in cow tears." General willow leaves, after wiping the eyes, in fact, you may not be able to see the ghost, but this is different, after wiping the eyes, you can ensure that you can see the ghost clearly within an hour, as for the production method, I will tell you later. ”

At noon when they arrived at Wangwan, the Wang Jun brothers took care of lunch, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, the dark clouds in the sky were densely covered, and the master found a vacant land in the terraced fields not far from the river, and planted the thunder flag into the ground according to the direction of the gossip. At the same time, not far away, according to the Big Dipper, some more chess pieces were inserted.

Because the master had also greeted him before, this snake demon likes to watch plays, and the Wang brothers invited the troupe over at noon, and sang again in the afternoon to lure the white snake out.

The head of the troupe found the master and asked, "Daoist Chen, do you want to sing "The Legend of the White Snake" again in the afternoon?" My female character is not very willing to do so now, so she didn't come with me this time. ”

The master shook his head and said: "Now play "The Legend of the White Snake", that snake demon may not come out, it has to play something else, it has to be related to snakes, it is best to make it angry and make it crazy." ”

The class leader thought for a while and asked, "How about playing "Snake Demon Slayer"?" ”

"The Snake Slayer?"

"The drama is the story of Han Gaozu cutting the white snake."

"Okay, then you can arrange it quickly."

"But, Daoist Chen, the people in my troupe don't dare to act, for fear of being evil again, can you let your little apprentice play Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty?"

The master looked at me, turned his head to the class master and said angrily, "My apprentice is still so young, and he can't sing." ”

The class leader explained: "I know this, but last time he dared to kiss in that situation, and this time he dared to act, as for singing, he only needs to act, and I will sing the drama in the form of narration." "I listened to it and kept playing the drums, I didn't want to act.
