Chapter Forty-Six: Burning the Immortals
The flame that turned into a fox was also very fast, and no one would have thought of jumping like this! It looks like a big ball of fire rushed towards Zhang Li's door!
"Moo!"
said that it was too late and that it was fast, just like that, Zhang Daxian roared, and there was an illusion of a big hedgehog more than one person tall between the stunned Zhang Li and the fire ball! But seeing the white light flashing on the hedgehog's body, he changed to look like a straight-clad woman. She hugged her hands, and the wind suddenly rose in the courtyard, and the fire that turned into a fox could not enter an inch, but could only spin between the woman's hands, and it was extinguished in a short time.
The hedgehog is Bai Jiaxian, and driving away the wind and fog is Bai Jiaxian's old business, and it is natural that this fire is trapped by the wind and extinguished. As soon as the flames were extinguished, Zhang Daxian also accepted the spell, and the woman's image also dissipated with the fading.
There was a string in his head that was tense just now, and Zhang Li was surprised that although his forehead and palms were sweaty, he could still stand. Now relieved, he felt his hands and feet go limp, and he fell to the ground with his buttocks, panting like a dog.
Huzi was standing beside Zhang Li at that time, and when the fox-shaped flame jumped up, he retreated. It's not that it's not moral, but it's just such a big place, if Zhang Li is really hit by that fireball, it will inevitably affect the pond fish. Huzi and Zhang Li don't have such a deep friendship, at this time, of course, it is self-preservation, when Zhang Daxian extinguished the fire, Huzi has already retreated.
"Zhang Zhenren, Zhang Zhenren!" The rosary plate in Zhang Daxian's hand was faster, "I think you're a mallet!" The object with the divine thought is burned if you say it will be burned, do you think this is the essence of the grass and trees or the cleaning of the walking corpse? I don't know what your ancestors are like, but you're really a fool! ”
Zhang Li stood up with his body propped up, wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve, and retorted, "What do you know? Didn't you see that the fox demon was burned to death? This is the secret method of our Zhuge Gate, this is called ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a crisp voice came in: "Father, sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" "Everyone is looking for prestige, it is the eldest lady of the prefect's family.
She was not dressed as flamboyant today as she was on the day she returned home, but wore a pair of black trousers, a white women's shirt decorated with white flowers, and her hair was still combed in loose braids, which looked a lot neater.
"Hey, don't make trouble, these are all masters I invited to see your brother's illness." An Zhifu's face was a little not good-looking. He didn't know much about gods and ghosts, but what happened just now was obviously not a good thing, and it was difficult for the prefect to feel at ease.
An Jien walked up and looked around, and was surprised: "Dad! This...... What is this? You are a scholar, why don't you know the truth of 'respecting ghosts and gods and staying away'? These guys are all liars. ”
"Yo, there are really people who don't believe in evil." Huzi was a little unhappy when he heard this, "This eldest lady, you speak carefully, the one behind the table is abducted, and the two of us are serious 'seeing things' craftsmen." ”
An Zhifu's face was also a little unbearable, after all, these people were invited by him, if it was a liar, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of An Zhifu? Besides, he can see what happened just now, the fire fox and the big hedgehog are so scary, how can they be fake? So An Zhifu said: "What do you know? These are all foreign masters, quickly apologize to others! ”
Then An Jien's stubborn temper came up: "Dad, that's why I said that I want to go to the mansion to teach and work with Ye Jiaoyu." These strange things are fooling me and the people, and I am declining the spirit of the country! ”
"Little girl, you can talk nonsense," Zhang Li interjected, "See for yourself, I asked Huo De Xingjun to go down to the mortal demon to punish demons." ”
"Huode Xingjun?" An Xien was stunned for a moment, walked to the edge of the brazier and looked at it, and then glanced around the offering table, "You rely on these demon exterminators?" ”
Zhang Li stiffened his neck: "That's right! That's what I'm capable of. ”
"Okay, I'll see what you're capable of!" As she spoke, she grabbed most of the remaining cinnabar from the plate in her hand. Zhang Li wanted to stop it too late, An Jien had already thrown down a handful of cinnabar in his hand, and a large piece of sparks burst out on the stone floor, and a big burst of white smoke came out!
"This is your spell? This is the 'Huo De Xingjun'? Seeing that everyone was stunned, An Jien was very satisfied, and brought the small dish with cinnabar on the table, "Dad, look, there is not only cinnabar here, but also red phosphorus and fine small iron beads. The small iron bead will rub fire when it collides with the ground, and red phosphorus is a flammable thing, and his trick of 'Huo De Xingjun' is played like this! Dad, you let me go to the house to teach, and I will definitely not let people be deceived by this kind of trick again. Besides, since my brother is sick, he should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible! There are Western hospitals in Shengjing, and Western medicine may have a way to treat diseases that cannot be seen by Chinese medicine. ”
Zhang Li was told through the trick, and he was also angry and annoyed, and quibbled: "That's the magic weapon I invited the gods!" Can you see that the fox's soul was burned by the fire? Have you seen that big immortal casting spell, have you asked the immortal family to make a move? ”
"That's right, Joe, don't mess around." The woman spoke, "You just met your sister-in-law yesterday, and your sister-in-law is not good at talking seriously. But these people are really capable, in broad daylight, your sister-in-law and I and our father have seen it with our own eyes, can there be a fake? Besides, now that the Boxers are in trouble, who would dare to go to the medical hall opened by foreigners? Didn't you see it when you came back? When Shengjing's official letter came down, the foreigners' medical halls were closed. ”
"Sister-in-law, you and your father were deceived by this group of liars!" An Xien looked a little angry, "These people have no other ability than pretending to be gods and fooling others, so we must not be fooled!" ”
They were arguing over there, and Huzi quietly came to Zhang Daxian's side: "Zhang Daxian, that fortune teller is unreliable, we have to think about it, I don't think that fox is necessarily hiding in this mansion." ”
"Indeed," Zhang Daxian nodded, "I've been here twice, and I haven't found a place where the goblin is hiding, and if you want to catch that goblin, you'll have to start somewhere else." ”
Huzi's eyes flickered, and he said, "Don't you have a relationship with that seventeen grandmother?" She can be regarded as the first among so many fox fairies in Changtu Mansion, and there are goblins under her door that harm people, and she doesn't care? ”
"Hey, hey," Zhang Daxian hurriedly stopped Huzi's words, "Grandma Seventeen is the master of my Grand Sect Master, how dare I open my mouth?" Sensei said it was me, even the head of my family, and he didn't dare to open his mouth! Don't mention it, we'll have to figure it out ourselves. ”
Huzi crossed his fingers and thought for a while, and said, "I have a way, I'll invite a 'person' to come over tonight, it was originally a fox, and it should be able to talk somewhat." ”
"It was originally a fox ......" Zhang Daxian was confused when he heard this, "What is this called?" ”
Huzi ignored Zhang Daxian, turned his head and shouted at An Jien, who was still arguing with An Zhifu and the woman: "Miss, don't you want to see our ability?" Haven't you ever seen a ghost? I'll show you this evening! ”
An Xien made Huzi a little stunned: "Okay! I just want to see what the 'ghost' thing looks like, but I didn't study well at a young age, but I came to the prefect's yamen to cheat and deceive, and see how I debunk your tricks! ”
As the night deepened, there was no light on the last quarter moon, and it was all lit by picking two lanterns. Originally, Huzi wanted to do it outside the government - this was the official mansion, and he was afraid that the ghosts he wanted to call would not be able to enter.
But An Zhifu disagreed! Originally, he called a few people to come to the mansion, and it was a terrible thing to ask people to know, and then he went to the outside of the mansion to do the law, and asked people to see it, and when he evaluated his performance, it would be a big trouble.
In desperation, Huzi chose a compromise and went to the lower reaches of the moat that night to do rituals. The prefect of An and Miss An Xien, who were not at ease, disguised themselves as ordinary people and accompanied them.
In this way, Huzi, Zhang Daxian and Zhang Li, who had lost face, set up an offering table by the river and cleared a piece of land. Zhang Li's face is also thick, and he has made Zhang Daxian and An Jien embarrassed twice, but he still doesn't leave with a shy face, not to say that the goblin has already eliminated himself, I want to see how Zhang and Peng, the old and the young, toss.
Huzi and Zhang Daxian saw that this Zhang Li was also running for money, and they refused to let go, so they let him go. Huzi thought to himself: This old boy really can't remember the time when he just saw me and wanted to walk!
Huzi set up incense candles and soul bells on the offering table, and carried a piece of yellow table paper, on which the words were written during the day. He lit the incense candle and read it out according to the words on the yellow table paper: "Today, Peng Huzi, a disciple of the Taoist Sect, because of the evil spirits that cause chaos and harm, respectfully ask the immortal family above the Sun Mountain in Changtu Mansion, the fox ghost fairy Hu Chuanwen Daxian to go out of the mansion and answer!" ”
After speaking, with a flick of his wrist, the yellow paper flew straight into the sky. Huzi pointed at the flame of the candle with a sword, sipped a little spark on his fingertips, and flicked it at the yellow table paper in the sky, and the yellow paper burned out in the air, and the paper ash pieces spilled down.
After waiting for a while, the yin wind was blowing, and a somewhat ethereal, not very real figure was condensed and formed, it was the fox ghost fairy - Hu Chuanwen.
As soon as Hu Chuanwen appeared, he first said a blessing to Huzi, and spit out a delicate voice: "I've seen the little Taoist." I thought it was Mr. Peng who invited me, but I didn't think it was Mr. Peng who invited me! Last time, I also troubled Cao Shennian to see the Liuding, Liujia, and the four values, which made people very embarrassed. How good this time, you burn a piece of yellow paper for me, and I won't come when I say it. ”
This Hu Chuanwen's appearance is still the appearance of Tian Lihu, taking such a posture really makes Huzi feel uncomfortable, and there is a layer of goosebumps on his body, and I don't know if it is to let the wind blow, or to call this Hu Chuanwen diaphragm.
"The immortal family is invited, I have something to do with you." Huzi also returned the salute, got up and didn't look at Hu Chuanwen's eyes, "You answered me with two words, which solved the confusion in my heart, and I promised you ten days of incense." ”
That Hu Chuanwen Yile: "That relationship is good, what's the matter?" You ask. ”
Huzi nodded: "The son of the prefect of Changtu Mansion is now haunted by fox demons and loses his yang energy every night. Now people are not like people. Like the Orion you killed by someone else's hand that day, I want to know...... Your Hu family in Changtu Mansion, are there any goblins who do not follow the rules and steal people's yang qi to practice? ”
"Yo! That's a big deal! Hu Chuanwen exclaimed, "There are seventeen grandmothers in Changtu Mansion, and there are still people who dare to disobey the rules...... This is a demonic path! Chief, you cover this matter with me, and I will check it out for you. ”
"So, it's hard work." Huzi arched his hand, "You are accumulating virtue and doing good, and I will be indispensable to you for ten days of incense!" ”
Hu Chuanwen looked embarrassed and said, "But you also know that I haven't been in shape for a long time...... The fox fairy who lost her body again, I'm afraid that I will say that the family is not careful, if you and I return home together, you will talk to my family in person. ”
"This ......" Huzi was a little hesitant in his heart, this Hu Chuanwen wanted to take himself to the fox's den?
"Don't think about it," Hu Chuanwen clapped his hands, "I owe favors to your master, can I still hurt you?" You also know the rules of the cultivation of the Eight Hundred Immortal Family, I can't do anything boring. After so many years in Changtu Mansion, how many foxes have you heard of making trouble? Besides, your master is a big man, and Grandma Seventeen told me not to offend Mr. Peng from the ghost family. Isn't that afraid that I will eat you, the little Taoist? ”
The words have come to this point, if you don't allow it to come down again, it will seem that you are cowardly, Huzi gritted his teeth and raised his hand: "It's okay to go to your cave with you, but now that the city gate is closed, I'm not your mountain spirit and ghost-like body, you have to find a way to get me out of the city!" ”
After Xu finished Hu Chuanwen, Huzi shaved off a small strand of hair, pierced his fingertips and wiped a little blood on his hair. He took out a small paper figure with Mr. Peng's name written on it from his arms and handed it to Zhang Daxian. He instructed, "Excuse me, you and the Breeze Spirits in your hall have to take care of my hair for the night." If I don't come back tomorrow morning before the rooster crows, or if this hair spontaneously combusts, you tear this paper figure in half. Zhang Daxian nodded and took it and held it in his hand.
"Yo~ You're still so careful!" Hu Chuanwen's words were a little disgusting, "Isn't it okay if I take you away!" ”
Hu Chuanwen recited a few words of mantra in his mouth, and waved at the open space, and a lot of foxes poured out of the originally empty field! There are old and young, red and gray, and it is estimated that there are more than 100 heads. One by one, they ran around the tiger's feet, raising a cloud of smoke and dust! When the smoke and dust cleared, Huzi, Hu Chuanwen and the foxes were all gone!
Zhang Daxian didn't forget Huzi's entrustment, and directly took out the strand of hair and pressed it on the offering table. Just about to do it, he suddenly turned around and said, "Miss An, are you satisfied?" ”
An Xien, who was stunned, was relieved by Zhang Daxian's shout, first looked at his father, and then at the offering table, but his eyes rolled white, and he fell straight down!
