Chapter 17: The Old Man and the Cheap Finger
The sudden shouting suddenly surprised Zhou Zhuangyuan, and at the same time subconsciously let go of his hands and let me go.
Seeing this, I hurriedly took the opportunity to break free, ran away, snorting and panting with my neck clutched, if it wasn't for this sound in time, even if I wasn't strangled to death, I would have to faint.
At this time, I followed the direction from which the sound came, looked up, and saw a white sedan chair floating from a distance, the sedan chair was also papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and there were four paper figures in black coats at each of the four corners, swaying towards us.
After the sedan chair landed, a black and thin old man walked down from inside, I looked, this is not the old man I met when I caught fish in Xiaowanzi, he used a wicker to beat the female ghost baby away, saving the second egg and one life.
After I thought about it, I felt that this old man must know some exorcism techniques, as if he had seen the organization and met his relatives, he ran behind him, hugged his arm and cried: "The old man save me, the two of them want to arrest me and be my godson, but I don't follow, they want to strangle me, you quickly take the wicker and whip them away." β
After listening to me, the old man looked stunned, then touched his head, laughed, and said: "Don't be afraid, Shuangxi, with me, they don't dare to arrest you as a godson, go, grandpa will take you home." β
I glanced back at the ghost couple standing not far away, quickly shrank my head, hugged the old man's arm, and followed him towards the paper sedan chair.
"You two, do you want to just walk away like this?" Zhou Zhuangyuan's gloomy voice came erratically from behind us.
The old man was stunned when he heard the sound, stopped, turned around and asked lazily: "If you don't let Lao Tzu go, is it possible to keep me to eat your wedding wine?" After speaking, he crossed his hands together, twisted a hand in an instant, and crossed his chest, staring at Zhou Zhuangyuan intently.
I saw that the old man seemed to have to fiddle with the flowers with both hands, and thought that he was going to make a big move to deal with Zhou Zhuangyuan, but I didn't think that his movements were soft, like a little lady pinching the orchid fingers, and after pinching, he put it on his chest and didn't move, I thought, just these two can also exorcise ghosts?
"Old man, does your orchid finger work? If it doesn't work, take out the wicker and smoke them, that thing is so good! I quickly tugged at his sleeve and gave him advice.
The old man shook his head helplessly, frowned and said to me: "What do you little boy know, wicker is a thing of the yang world, how can I take it down, and I am not an orchid finger, but a sword finger, do you know that the sword finger?" It has the effect of warding off evil spirits and preventing ghosts, hum! Those who don't know are not afraid, how can you guess and understand the old man's spells? β
"Cheap fingers? I'm rubbing, it's not good to listen to the name, the cheap finger is really that powerful?" I asked, surprised.
The old man smiled proudly and said, "Of course. β
"Old man, I know you're a Taoist priest." Zhou Zhuangyuan saw the old man's cheap fingers, and the look of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed at me with an unkind face, and said: "But this little ghost has made my lady's face, and you just walked away, without giving an explanation, it's a bit unreasonable!" β
"So that's the case, it seems that Double Happiness is really not doing it right." After the old man finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the ghost bride with only half of her face left, thought for a while and said: "Alas, your lady's face is broken, and it is indeed ugly, it is better to wait for the old man to return to the yang world, and burn a beautiful paper figure for your lady, what do you think?" β
When Zhou Zhuangyuan saw the old man say this, he thought that the old man was soft and was afraid of him, so he suddenly said arrogantly: "How can there be such a good thing, do you think that if you burn a paper figure, you want to send my husband and wife away?" β
"Also, a paper figure is really not enough to show my sincerity, so how about burning some paper money for your husband and wife?" The old man said in a calm tone.
Although the old man's tone was calm, but I saw that the cheap finger on his chest was trembling faintly, I thought he was afraid of Zhou Zhuangyuan, and I felt a little disdainful in my heart, I thought I had met a savior, but I didn't think it was a coward.
"Alas, Zhou Zhuangyuan just said a few cruel words, and the old man was scared to the ground? It's really over.,If it starts.,It's estimated that the other party will be killed in seconds.,Well,I'd better stay away from this thing.,So as not to get him beaten and affect me in a while.γ My mind turned, and I took a few steps back quietly.
At the same time, I am ready to escape, if I really start to do it for a while, the old man will be defeated by Zhou Zhuangyuan and beaten to death, it will be regarded as a glorious death, after all, it can still buy me time to escape.
"Old man, it's not that Brother Xi and I are unrighteous, but because your cheap finger is really weak and weak." I retreated, silently praying for the old man.
At this time, Zhou Zhuangyuan laughed wildly and said, "Burn paper money for me?" Tell you, this champion lacks everything, but he is not short of money, I have a lot of money to spend here, and I don't look down on your children! β
"You don't accept paper people, you don't want paper money, what do you want?" The old man laughed suddenly, and the cheap finger on his chest trembled even more violently.
Zhou Zhuangyuan stretched out his hand and pointed at me, and said with a sharp laugh: "This little ghost has collided with my wife, what I want is him, old man, I advise you to hand him over to me to deal with, if not, this champion will even clean up with you!" β
"Humph! But Ququ is just a ghost, and he dares to speak out in front of me, do you really think I'm afraid of you? The old man snorted coldly, turned his head, and called me: "Double happiness, hey, what about people?" β
When he found that I was already standing a hundred steps away, he suddenly asked with some surprise, "Why are you standing so far away?" Hurry up! β
"I'm still going to go, it's good to be here." I forced a laugh as I took a few steps back.
"Stinky boy, you don't believe in my strength and want to escape!" The old man seemed to see what I was thinking, and immediately shouted angrily, and after speaking, he waved his big hand, and grabbed the palm of his hand at my void.
When I landed, I felt as if an invisible hand was tightly wrapping my body, and then I was lifted upwards sharply, and in my exclamation, I was pulled in front of the old man.
"You're a, I used a spell to save you, and you want to leave me alone and run away?" The old man pointed to my forehead and blew his beard and glared.
As soon as my careful thoughts were exposed by him, he immediately lowered his head and blushed with shame, too, people risked their lives to come down to save me, I was good, I left him alone, and I even had the idea of running away, alas, Li Shuangxi, are you still human? Do you do that? I was filled with remorse and kept questioning myself.
"That's it, I won't talk about you, but you can't be like this in the future, you have to be righteous." When the old man saw my ashamed appearance, he hurriedly comforted me in a kind tone.
I nodded hurriedly and said, "Old man, I was wrong, I don't want to run away anymore, even if I am strangled to death by Zhou Zhuangyuan this time, I don't want to run away." β
"It's like a man." The old man nodded with satisfaction, and then, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhou Zhuangyuan with an angry face, and said to me: "Double happiness, this ghost champion is a powerful ghost, and the ghost is the most unreasonable, it is useless for you to say good things to it, and it is still when you are afraid of it. β
As soon as I heard this, I subconsciously said, "Old man, since we can't cross it, let's run away." β
