Chapter 031: Mother-of-pearl porridge (4)

"When I was outside just now, I clearly felt that the ghost was full of ghosts in this courtyard, but when I entered the courtyard, I could no longer find any trace of the evil ghost." The Taoist priest stared at the compass in his hand suspiciously: "No, this evil ghost must not have left because he was afraid of me, but I am afraid that the ghost path has been deep and hidden." ”

"Hidden?" Xing Ruyi's face was surprised, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes: "If you really hide it from that evil ghost, what can you do?"

"Don't worry, girl, see that the poor way has taken this evil ghost." The Taoist priest said, taking the gossip bag off his body.

Xing Ruyi wondered if this Taoist priest still wanted to set up an altar or something, and was about to ask, but saw that he had already walked on the ground with a peachwood sword.

After a circle, there was a shallow mark on the bluestone ground, which was the Yin and Yang Bagua diagram. The Taoist priest stepped on the cathode with his left foot and the anode with his right foot, and while reciting in his mouth, he also made two talismans, one on the windowsill and the other on the branch of the hibiscus tree.

Then, Ling's body shook. Xing Ru's opinion couldn't help but tighten his heart, and he pinched another mantra to stabilize Ah Ling.

was about to take a breath, but saw Ah Ling's hands turn into bones, and he grabbed directly at the Taoist priest's neck.

"Ah Ling!" Xing Ruyi made a shaking motion, and forced Ah Ling's skeletal arm that had reached in front of the Taoist priest's neck to force back.

"Sister Ruyi, I beg you, let me kill this hateful Taoist priest." Ah Ling begged in a low voice, and the gaze that looked at the Taoist priest was even more sad and indignant.

No matter how careless Xing Ruyi was, he could see something abnormal at this time, so he asked in his heart, "Do you recognize this Taoist priest?"

"I know this robe." Ah Ling said hatefully: "Just now, when this Taoist priest walked to the hibiscus flower, I remembered. I remembered that I was carried out of the gate of Chang'an City by the welcoming procession, and then fell asleep in a daze. By the time I woke up, it was already dark, and I heard someone talking outside and the sound of a campfire crackling. I rubbed my eyes and was about to speak, when I heard the bride ask me through the curtain if I needed something to eat. Before I finished my words, my stomach gurgled, and I thought it was ugly, so I buried my head and was embarrassed to say more. After a while, the bride handed me a piece of roasted steamed bun and some meat through the sedan curtain. From her conversations with others, I knew that we had arrived near Luoyang at that time. As for me always being sleepy, it was because Xiniang was worried that something would go wrong on my way, so she secretly drugged me. Although I was a little surprised and a little angry, I thought that from Chang'an to Luoyang, the journey was slow, and it was inevitable that Xi Niang would be worried. Luckily, after dawn, the procession will enter the city, and she won't drug me again. After eating the steamed buns, I was a little thirsty, so I lifted the sedan curtain and wanted to ask the bride for water. I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect to see a Taoist priest killing people, and Xi Niang died in front of my palanquin. I was so frightened that I didn't know what to do, and when I looked up, I saw the Taoist priest standing outside the sedan chair, and the sword in his hand was still dripping blood. Later, I ran out of the sedan chair and somehow ran into the woods. Ah Ling said, and actually cried, as for the next thing, Xing Ruyi naturally didn't need to ask, the white bones in the woods already explained everything, although there are still mysteries that have not been solved.

For example, how did Ling die? She was not violated before her death, there was nothing abrupt about her ghost body, and there were no broken wounds, so how did she die in the mountains and forests?

Xing Ruyi's guess didn't last long, but Ah Ling herself had already said the answer: "He wants to collect my soul and say that it is my excellent practice material." I was scared, so I kept running, and he kept chasing. That day, just like the day when Brother Sheng and the others strayed into the woods, there was a particularly loud dry thunder, and I was frightened and frightened, and when I ran in front of an old tree, a lightning bolt happened to strike, and I fainted. When I woke up again, I was already a ghost, and I was half-hanging on that tree, and under it was myself. ”

"What about the Taoist priest? Isn't he going to take your soul?" Although he knew that the Taoist priest in Ah Ling's mouth might not be the one in front of him, Xing Ruyi still couldn't help but glance at the Taoist robe.

"I didn't know, when I woke up, he was gone. I told my sister about the rest of the story, and I walked around the woods for many days, but I couldn't get out. ”

"I'll help you find out about your business, but you can't touch him right now." Xing Ruyi pointed to the Taoist priest named Yuxuzi in front of him: "You forgot, the reason why we want to find it is for the child on the moon." Ah Ling pursed her lips, only staring at the Taoist priest, and did not make any other movements.

Xing Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to watch the Taoist priest chattering in the courtyard with a compass to find it. After about a cup of tea, the Taoist priest returned to Xing Ruyi with a depressed face and said: "Poor Dao can't see, although he knows that the evil ghost must be in the house, he can't find out her whereabouts, let alone subdue her." After speaking, he sighed repeatedly, and then added as if talking to himself: "It would be nice if my senior brother Wu Daozi was here." It was expected that Yuxuzi could not find Ah Ling, Xing Ruyi smiled faintly, and after comforting the Taoist priest for a few words, he seemed to inadvertently ask him about the moon sacrifice.

The Taoist priest boasted about Haikou before, but now he didn't even look at a ghost in front of his master, and he was a little ashamed in his heart, seeing that Xing Ruyi was asking a question that he knew, he knew everything, and told him about the moon sacrifice and how to crack the moon sacrifice method.

came, and told her that this method of sacrificing the moon was detrimental to yin virtue, and it must not be used until it was absolutely necessary. When sending Yu Xuzi out, he was ashamed to decline the silver given by Xing Ruyi, and only said that he would find his senior brother as soon as possible to help her subdue the evil ghosts in the house, and then left barefoot with a gossip bag.

"Looks like he's not the evil you're looking for." Xing Ruyi looked at the back of the Taoist priest and said softly.

Ling appeared from behind her faintly and didn't say a word. That night, Xing Ruyi, with the help of the fox, lured the child's soul from the moon with the method of breaking the moon.

A skinny baby like a kitten, with its eyes tightly closed, a small mouth with slightly hooked corners, and a small fist clenched in a cloud of silver light.

Xing Ruyi gently poked the baby soul's cheek with his fingers, and the little guy actually grinned, but the soul body was too weak, and even the smile was shallow.
