Chapter 25: Spoiling the Situation
I rushed all the way down, and Jing'an happily chased after me with the package on my back. www.biquge.info I took care of his physical strength and speed, and mastered the rhythm just right. Every time, he thought he could catch me, but in the blink of an eye, I dodged it, so that he couldn't catch it, but it didn't make him feel bored.
In this way, the two of them played and walked and stopped, and when they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, the sun was about to set.
Looking at the curling smoke not far away, it seems that we see a big white steamed bun beckoning to us. Ha, I'm going to have a hot meal soon! We looked at each other, smiled knowingly, cheered up, and took a big step towards the goal!
This time I walked very fast, and it didn't take long to reach the entrance of the village.
The village is not large, with only about a dozen households. Now that every house is wafting with fragrance, which one should I go to? Jing'an is a little undecided. In the end, we agreed to knock on the door of whoever had the big yard.
The small houses in the village are not too big, but there is one that is clearly different in size. Other people's houses are only one or two at most, or grass and mud houses, and the yards are fenced off with wooden fences. But this is a brick house with a water, the courtyard wall is also made of bricks, the high gate compound, even the courtyard gate is painted with black paint, and there are two big iron rings on it. As soon as we looked at it, we had to do it, who would eat if we didn't eat big households?
walked forward, took the knocker and buckled it randomly, and soon heard someone inside answering, "Coming, who?" Then I heard someone push the door open.
After a burst of footsteps, the door creaked open, and a young daughter-in-law in her twenties appeared in front of her. The two of us are embarrassed, if this is just a woman's house, we would not be able to stay here.
Jing'an clasped his hands together and saluted: "Amitabha, female donor, our two brothers are monks of Shenlong Temple, and they are traveling out, and it is getting late, I don't know if we can borrow a night here?" ”
The little daughter-in-law looked embarrassed, "This ...... Two little masters, it's not that I don't want to keep the two, it's just that something happened at home, and it's really inconvenient...... I think you two should go to someone else's house and ask, right? ”
Jing'an hurriedly said: "I'm bothering the female donor, Amitabha." "As he spoke, he wanted to take me to someone else's house to try his luck.
But I didn't believe in evil, "Dare to ask the female benefactor, what happened to your family?" Can you tell us that maybe we can solve it? ”
I said in my heart, except for yours, the dozen or so families in the village are outdoors, and other families probably can't make room for us to stay overnight. If you don't keep anyone, won't we have to cover the heavens and the earth? How does this work? Besides, who knows if what you say is true or false? I hate the adults the most, and I don't blink. If it's the truth, it's okay, hmph, if it's a lie, I can toss and toss.
As soon as I said this, Jing'an was startled, and he was busy giving me a look, but I didn't see it, so anxious that he scratched his head.
The little daughter-in-law was happy, and said disdainfully: "This little master is really good at laughing, we have invited several famous wizards and Taoists, but there is nothing to be done, what can you do as a child?" I won't keep you for your own sake, so go to someone's house and ask. "As he spoke, he was about to close the door.
I didn't care about that, and creaked through the crack in the door.
"Eh, why don't you know what to do with a little monk?" The little daughter-in-law was in a hurry, and Jing'an was busy apologizing while following the door to arrest me.
I stood in the courtyard and took a look, it was a very clean courtyard, three main rooms, two side rooms, there was a firewood stack in the corner of the yard, and there was a big tree in the middle that was lush and stout, and it looked like it was some years old.
I closed my eyes and felt with my heart.
On the bed in the room on the left lay a man in his early thirties, skinny and breathless, with his eyes closed and several large quilts pressed on his body. An old lady sat on the edge of the bed, wiping away tears.
In the middle of the ground stood an old bull-nosed road, with yellow laminated paper and a bowl of water on the table next to it. The old man took a peachwood sword and compared it to the practice.
"I said you little monk, why is this like this?" The little daughter-in-law came to pick me up, and I raised my hand to stop her.
"Your man is now in the middle of an evil spirit, I just want to ask you, what are you going to do if the Taoist priest inside gives him a drink of talisman water for a while and it still doesn't work?"
"Huh? How do you know? The little daughter-in-law cried out in surprise.
"Don't you know that all the monks in the Shenlong Temple are strong in spells and can subdue demons?"
"Female donor, I'm sorry, the child is not sensible, we don't bother, let's go."
Jing'an apologized in his mouth, tugged at my sleeve in his hand, and gave me a look so hard that his nose and mouth were about to move. The little daughter-in-law's eyes lit up with joy.
"Two little masters, please stay, please follow me."
Without saying a word, I lifted my feet and followed her into the house. There was no way to hesitate in the clear space, so I had to follow with my head hard.
The little daughter-in-law let the two of us into the big room in the middle and poured a glass of water, "Two little masters, please take a break for a while, I'll go see my man, and I'll go back." With that, he went out.
As soon as she went out, Jing'an was anxious, "Jingxin, what are you talking nonsense?" What if she really asks us to catch a demon or something? ”
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." I was full of confidence, thinking to myself, no matter how bad I am, I am better than the Taoist priest who pretends to be a ghost.
Jing'an muttered in my ear worriedly: "Jingxin, if it doesn't work for a while, let's run quickly." If you run as fast as you can, you don't have to wait for me. ”
I smiled and began to close my eyes and probe. I saw that the Taoist priest next door was taking a piece of yellow mounted paper, and scribbled on it with his fingers dipped in water, and I didn't know what kind of ghost painting was drawn. Then he picked it up with a peachwood sword, danced and danced for a long time, chanting words in his mouth, and then yelled, "Taishang Laojun, urgent as a law!" Pointing to the yellow mounted paper with his hand, a strange human figure faintly appeared on the paper.
The old lady and the little daughter-in-law were shocked when they saw it, and the Taoist priest glanced at them with a smug look on his face.
"Your son is haunted by evil, and I have captured him."
The old lady knelt down with a thud, and the little daughter-in-law quickly knelt down. The old lady clasped her hands together, kowtowed, and said, "You are really a living immortal, we have invited so many people, and you are the only one who caught the ghost." ”
"But......" The Taoist priest changed his words, stroked his beard and stopped talking.
The old lady gave the little daughter-in-law a look, and the little daughter-in-law immediately understood, and hurriedly took out a penny of silver from her sleeve and handed it over.
The Taoist priest took the silver, "I'll burn this ghost now, and I will never suffer in the future." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his arrow finger and gestured at the tip of the sword a few times, then took a saliva and sprayed at the yellow mounted paper, and a flash of fire rushed out, and in a moment the paper was burned to ashes.
The Taoist priest took the bowl and took the ashes, stirred it with his fingers, and handed it to the little daughter-in-law, "Feed him and drink it, it will be all tomorrow morning." I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave. ”
The little daughter-in-law thanked her and took the bowl.
I don't think I can wait any longer, wait any longer and run away. didn't care that the clear space was beside him, he rushed out with an arrow step, blocked the door next door, and said loudly: "Don't, it's not good to leave in such a hurry, right?" ”
