Chapter 45: Burning Demons and Eliminating Evil
The hanging painting that Huzi stared at was three feet long, more than one foot wide, and the long painting of a beautiful woman lying drunk between the mountains and forests, with her head resting on a stone, her feet touching the stream, and the cup rolling aside. Huzi doesn't know how to paint, and he can't tell whether this painting is good or bad, but he thinks that this painting is not like an ordinary thing. There is a faint demonic entanglement on this painting, but it is not spread out, as if it is a tablet of a family immortal.
"Zhang Daxian," Huzi called, "You said that it was the fox who harmed An Yanai?" How do you see that? ”
"I don't see it, I hear it," Mr. Cheung said, "and I'll understand it when I explain it in detail." Na'an Gongzi was infected with a disease three months ago, and dreamed of being entangled with people every night, and his descendants were lost every night, and every morning when he got up, the bedding had to be wet with a large piece of ...... He said that he said that the girl in his dream could not see her face clearly, but she could touch the fox's tail! ”
When Huzi heard this, his face first flushed, and then his brain and kernels jumped twice, as if it hurt! He thought to himself: Isn't it that the master has created some injustice in his previous life, and he can't fight with the fox? How can it be a fox looking for people's yang energy?
Glancing at the bed again, Huzi was secretly shocked, thinking about how similar he was to Anyanai and Tian Orion! Both of them have lost their yang qi and flesh, and their bones are thin and their skin is withered. It's just that the field of Orion lost his life because of a pleasure, and this An Yanai has been suffering for three months and still has a breath.
But the more he understood this, the tighter Huzi's brows wrinkled. Officials have official authority, this is not a joke. became a parent official of a house, which was a representative of the people of Tianxun Shepherd, and the popularity of a government could not be faked. And since he is an official, he is given the seal by the Son of Heaven, and today's recognition is the recognition of the people, and a country's luck is blessed by body, how can ordinary demons and evil infringe?
This is the government office, and there must be a pig guarding the main hall. The pig resembles a unicorn, has a single horn, understands human words and human nature, and can distinguish right from wrong with a pair of angry eyes, and the good and evil of people's hearts. From the pre-Qin period to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the pig symbolizes the supremacy of legal principles, representing "the world is peaceful and the world is bright". The court is in the hedgehog, and the ordinary people who have committed the crime are terrified when they see the hedgehog, not to mention the demons and ghosts? But that's the case, there are still goblins in the government to suck yang energy through the dream of **, this is not a trivial matter, and it can't be said what kind of old immortal demon it is!
"I've figured it out!" When Huzi was thinking, Zhang Li shouted! I saw him holding the compass and turning around the house again: "This goblin is so bold! He has been hiding in the government for so many days! ”
Huzi and Zhang Daxian were both stunned. They only knew that the theft of this Yang Qi in An Ya was done by the fox demon, and they didn't have much clue how to find this demon cultivator. This Zhang Zhenren just walked around with a compass and found the place where the goblin was hiding? What a good idea!
The two approached the front, only to see the compass pointer in Zhang Li's hand jumping around, stopping after turning around, but the stop was pointing in the same direction.
"Can Zhang Zhenren save my son?" The movement here naturally alarmed An Zhifu, and he immediately came over, "Zhang Zhenren, what did you calculate?" Zhang Li didn't know when he put on the Western glasses again, twisted his beard and pointed at Luo Jingyi and said, "The place where this needle stops is the place where the goblins are haunting." Maybe indoors, maybe outdoors, but in your mansion! ”
"That's fast! Fast! Fast! An Zhifu hurriedly said, "You find out this demon with me!" ”
"Don't be anxious," Zhang Li still looked unhurried, coughed twice and said, "Lord Prefect, watch me find out this evil thing!" He pointed his hand into a sword, and recited a mantra to the compass, and then the tip of his finger went down, and the needle of the compass was fixed, and pointed in one direction.
"This is the place!" Zhang Li was very sure in his words, "You two get out of the way, let me see." After that, Zhang Li crossed Huzi and Zhang Daxian and walked around the room twice. He walked up to the painting, pointed to it, and said, "Your Excellency, where did this painting come from?" ”
An Zhifu thought about it for a moment and replied: "I bought this painting from a study, and it has been four months since I brought it home. At that time, I saw that it was rich in pen and ink, and the framing was elegant, although there was no inscription, but the cloth of the mounting technique was like the craftsmanship of the previous dynasty, so I took it home. After coming back, Qing'er said that she liked it, so she took it to his bedroom. This painting ...... Is there anything wrong? ”
"Sure enough," Zhang Li said, "this demon is hidden in this picture scroll!" ”
An Zhifu didn't know what he had to do with this Zhang Li before, but he believed everything Zhang Li said. As soon as he heard that there were monsters hidden in the picture scroll, his face became even more anxious: "Several masters, since you have learned where the culprit is hiding, please think of a way to kill the demon and save the dog!" ”
"Just leave it to you," Zhang Li shook his hand and accepted the compass, straightened his chest and promised, "It's just a demon, when the sky is in full bloom at noon, I will accept it!" ”
The more Huzi listened, the more wrong it became, and when he entered the house, he was afraid that something was missing, so he deliberately cast a spell to raise his eyesight to a higher level, using the same method as finding Song Xiongfang's saber that day, and there should be no mistakes or omissions. The painting of the tiger is to see, and there is indeed some demonic spirit lingering. But the demonic energy on it did not soak out, but circulated back and forth on the paper. And the demonic aura on the painting is clear, without a bad aura, not like a goblin who has hurt people. In this way, the scroll does not look like an object for the fairy to lodge, but more like a tablet for the Baojia Immortal!
Zhang Li insisted that this painting scroll was the place where the monster was hiding, was he really blind and couldn't make a pair of tricks?
Huzi was just about to speak, but Zhang Daxian spoke first when An Zhifu expressed his gratitude to Zhang Li: "Zhang Zhenren, right...... You're not from Changtu, are you? Zhang Li nodded: "Walking in all directions downstream, living in no fixed place, originally from Liaoyang Mansion, I arrived in Changtu to settle down for a few days, and experienced the customs of your mansion." ”
Zhang Daxian laughed twice and said: "Walking the rivers and lakes with a treasure knife, where does the knife come from?" The scale rod is not long, and the two or two can't hang up the goods. ”
Zhang Daxian spoke in black words. The last sentence is a question, and the question is who Zhang Li learned from. The next sentence is to scold him, saying that he doesn't know how to pretend to understand, he doesn't have so much ability, and he is abducted and deceived in the pit.
As soon as Zhang Li heard this, he became angry, thinking that I can't afford to provoke that old Qingfeng named Peng Huzi, and I can't afford to provoke a disciple? So he replied: "Wuhou Kaizong, give me the magic sword and sword!" Purple qi comes from the east, surround my body and protect Ayara! ”
Zhang Daxian asked in black language, and Zhang Zhenren also answered in black language. Wuhou is talking about Zhuge Kongming, that is the ancestor of Zhuge Menbai, and Zhang Li is saying that he is a subordinate of Zhuge Men. In the second half of the sentence, his ability is very high, which is a metaphor for his ability to hide under his clothes, and others can not easily see it.
An Zhifu was confused when he heard it. Huzi was even more irritable: "Senior Brother Zhang, let me ask you." Zhang Li shuddered when he heard Huzi's voice, and arched his hand: "What do you command?" Huzi continued: "Can you really confirm that the goblin is hidden in the scroll, can there be a way to subdue the demon and eliminate the demon?" ”
"Look at what you said," Zhang Liyi raised his head, "You have to inquire about what my ancestors do!" Have you heard of Old Man Rottenwood? Demon God! Tens of thousands of years of Taoism! The ancestors of my family fought 300 rounds with the big goblin who devoured people's lives, attracting thunder and fire, and fought for three days and three nights. In the end, he asked for the Dharma Body of Huo De Xingjun and burned the tree demon with the Samadhi True Fire to ensure the peace of the party. Although I don't have the ability of my ancestors, except for a little demon, it is also easy to catch! ”
"Done!" Huzi nodded, "Then at noon today, I'll give you a hand, and we'll see what you're capable of, Senior Brother." ”
Zhang Daxian hurriedly pulled Huzi aside and said in a low voice: "Huzi, if he takes the goblin, the money has little to do with the two of us!" Even if the prefect finally rewarded us with a little incense money, it wouldn't be such a large amount. ”
Huzi smiled: "Zhang Daxian, don't worry, that Zhang Li may have a bit of kung fu in fortune-telling, but he is a cheater!" His compass was supposed to be a treasure, and he recognized the painting on the wall. Can he catch demons? I'm going to see him as a demon. ”
It was noon, and the light outside the house was so hard that one could barely open his eyes. Zhang Li set up an offering table outside the bedroom door in An Yan, with some fruits, pears and peaches on it, and two red candles had been lit. I don't know who the offering, anyway, Zhang Li pressed three sticks of incense on the top of his head, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully three times before inserting the incense into the incense burner.
Zhang Daxian, An Zhifu, and An Yanei's wife stood by and watched, and Huzi stood near the offering table to help arrange a set of utensils. Zhang Li's utensils are very simple: a copper basin, a plate of cinnabar, a little hay, and a painting.
Zhang Li wants to do things very simply, burn the painting scroll of the so-called goblin, and naturally worry about it again! Zhang Li pinched it and muttered to himself. Huzi was happy when he saw it, thinking that Zhang Daxian had such a routine to treat the possessed woman that day.
After taking enough of the pie, Zhang Li grabbed the cinnabar in the dish with one hand, and said: "Heavenly Spirit Spirit, Earth Spirit Spirit, Huo De Xingjun blessed the saint, Taishang Laojun is as anxious as the law, sick!" As he spoke, he threw the cinnabar in his hand into the copper basin covered with hay. Xu is Zhang Li's spell was really useful, and the basin immediately ignited a fire, and the flames rose more than two feet high!
Zhang Li picked up the scroll: "Evil animal! I have no grudge against you in the past, and I have no enmity with you recently, but your heart is not right, pestering mortals, and refining yang energy, which is not tolerated by heaven. Today, I Zhang Zhenren will do the way for heaven, if there is an afterlife, I hope you will practice hard, do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and don't make mistakes again and fall into the devil's path! ”
After speaking, he raised his hand, and the scroll fell into the brazier.
A piercing wail could be heard, and the flames tumbled violently, and the flames no longer flew up and down, but slowly merged into the shape of a fox!
As soon as the flaming fox appeared, An Zhifu and his daughter-in-law all exclaimed in a low voice. Zhang Li stroked his fake beard and looked very satisfied.
The fire fox was just an outline of a fox at first, and after burning for a while, it became more and more distinct. Ears, eyes, nose and mouth, beard and tail fur, very real!
The fox raised his head, smiled evilly at Zhang Li, and actually jumped out of the brazier like this, and pounced straight at Zhang Li's head and face!
