Chapter 21: Temptation
Shen Xiuwen took out a money bag from his arms, threw it on the table with a snap, and said, "As long as the Taoist chief answers truthfully, this bag of silver is yours." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Qingyun Dao raised his eyebrows, and his eyes instantly burst into sparkles, but he was the master of one view, how could he lose face in front of outsiders, so he touched his beard, regained his calm in a blink of an eye, closed his eyes, and said: "Say it, as long as Poor Dao knows, you must answer truthfully." ”
Shen Xiuwen didn't beat around the bush either, and said bluntly: "Dao Chief, may I ask if the soul exorcism spell is the unique secret technique of Qingyun Temple?" ”
When Qingyun Dao Chang heard this, there was a smug look in his eyes, and he nodded and said: "The soul exorcism spell is a ghost-hunting spell created by the ancestor of Qingyun Guan, which has been passed down from generation to generation. ”
"Really?" Shen Xiuwen didn't care, took out three bronze coins from his arms, and gently rested them next to the porcelain teapot.
Seeing him put the copper coin on the table, Daoist Qingyun felt a "chuckle" in his heart, and said with a sneer: "Shen Gongzi, you, what are you doing?" ”
Shen Xiuwen smiled indifferently, "Dao Chief, the Soul Exorcism Spell is a spell handed down from the pre-Qin period, but Qingyun Temple has been established less than a hundred years ago, how can it be the unique secret technique of Qingyun Temple?" ”
When Daoist Qingyun heard what he said, he shook his old bones, and his expression was extremely strange.
Shen Xiuwen didn't wait for him to answer, so he continued: "After soaking the copper coin in the blood of a black dog for nine hundred and eighty-one days, it will absorb the yang energy of heaven and earth in the afternoon sun for seven seven and forty-nine days, and seal the altar with a yin and yang spell and bury it in the ground, and take it out after thirty-three days. ”
After listening to his narration, Daoist Qingyun's slanted hanging eyes suddenly widened, his eyes seemed to be squeezed out, an old face was white for a while and blue for a while, his mouth was half open, and he didn't slow down for a long time.
Shen Xiuwen was not in a hurry, and when he saw that he closed his mouth, he said: "Forgive me for being ignorant, I want to ask the Taoist chief, is this the secret technique of Qingyun Guan - the refining method of the soul exorcism spell?" ”
As soon as Daoist Qingyun heard his question, he almost rolled off the chair, but fortunately, he had enough concentration to barely stabilize his body. I saw that Qingyun Daoist covered his mouth and coughed lightly, and said, "Shen Gongzi's knowledge is broad and profound, and he is old...... No, poor Dao admires. ”
Shen Xiuwen was very amused when he saw that he was speechless, but he couldn't hold back a smile and asked seriously: "Dao Chief, since the Soul Exorcism Spell is not the unique secret technique of Qingyun Temple, where did you get it?" ”
Qingyun Daoist coughed embarrassedly, and only said after a while: "It's not a secret, when Qingyunguan was at the end of his rope, he had the help of an old Dao, and it was he who taught the soul exorcism spell to the poor Dao, so that Qingyunguan can exist today." ”
When Shen Xiuwen heard this, he couldn't help frowning and pacing back and forth a few steps.
Could it be that the old Tao in the mouth of Qingyun Dao is his own master? Or is there any connection between this Qingyun Temple and the Heavenly Master Dao?
Thinking of this, Shen Xiuwen raised his head and glanced at the Qingyun Dao Leader who was sitting on the chair with a smile on his face, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't feel like a person who had anything to do with the Heavenly Master Dao.
At this time, Qingyun Dao Leader saw him looking over, squinted his eyes, and asked, "Young Master Shen, how did you know about the Soul Exorcism Curse?" ”
Shen Xiuwen didn't expect him to suddenly ask such a question, and subconsciously let out an "ah", and then stared at the old face of Qingyun Daoist for a long time, and then bowed calmly: "I have no comment." ”
At this time, Qingyun Dao Chang was stunned for a long time, opened his mouth, but didn't spit out a word.
Shen Xiuwen knew deeply that there were some things that could be said, but some things that could not be said at all. Back then, the master entrusted him with the "Ghost Xinglu" and the Book of Immortal Heaven, and also appointed him to be the nineteenth generation head of the Xuanyin Sect of the Heavenly Master Dao, this matter is related to the Xuanyin Sect, and it is also related to the common people in the world, and it is the master's unreserved trust in himself, so no matter what, he can't easily tell anyone.
Subsequently, Shen Xiuwen left the bag of silver, said goodbye to Qingyun Dao Chief, and left.
After he left, Daoist Qingyun put away the money bag very happily, sat back on the chair and tasted tea in a leisurely manner. At this time, from behind the barrier on the left side of the main hall, a middle-aged man dressed in coarse linen clothes came out.
The man walked up to Qingyun Daoist and said with a calm face: "It seems that what the third brother said is right, Shen Xiuwen also knows the method of practicing the soul exorcism spell, maybe it is related to Uncle Yuan Ming." ”
Qingyun Dao Chang slowly put down the celadon tea bowl, pondered for a moment, touched his beard and said: "Changfeng, I heard that this person is about to go to Beijing to take the exam, you let the third child follow him all the way." ”
Miao Changfeng heard the order and promised: "Yes, hall master." ”
After watching Miao Changfeng leave, Daoist Qingyun took out the money bag in his arms, weighed it in his hand, and then took it back with satisfaction.
Outside Qingyun Guan, Shen Xiuwen walked out thoughtfully from inside, and Lin Daiyun, who had been waiting outside for most of the day, unceremoniously blamed him as soon as he saw him: "Why did you go for so long?" ”
This fierce voice pulled Shen Xiuwen back from his thoughts, only to see Lin Danyun staring at him with a pair of big watery eyes, obviously a person who had waited too long and was impatient.
Shen Xiuwen walked down the stone steps of the Taoist temple, frowning, and pretending to have a sad face. Lin Daiyun looked at his face and asked, "What's wrong?" That old way bullied you? ”
Shen Xiuwen sighed and said, "No, Qingyun Lao Dao is a good person, and he blackmailed me with a whole money bag, do you think I have lost a lot?" ”
Lin Daiyun has always been jealous and hateful, and when he heard that the old man was not a good person, he said indignantly: "I'll go to him and return the money bag to you." ”
Shen Xiuwen saw that she was about to walk up the stone steps, and hurriedly stretched out his arm to stop her, "It's not a big deal, besides, that old Taoist told me everything I wanted to know, if I go back and ask for the silver back, next time I want to ask him for something, he will definitely not tell me." ”
Lin Daiyun thought about it, felt that there was some truth, raised his eyes to look at him, and asked, "Then where are you going next?" ”
Shen Xiuwen smiled: "You're hungry too, aren't you?" Take you to a bite to eat. ”
When Lin Daiyun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then grinned, "How do you know I'm hungry?" Looks like you know me well. ”
When Shen Xiuwen heard her say this, there was a faint sadness in his eyes. In the past month, Lin Daiyun has followed him day and night, even to in the last thatched house. It's been a long time, and you can't even understand it!
Shen Xiuwen wanted to cry without tears, and walked down the mountain silently. Lin Daiyun completely put his previous irritability behind him, and the endless nagging all the way was nothing more than asking him not to seek death or anything, but then again, he looked like a person who would seek death?
This girl is thinking too much, okay?
The two of them walked down the mountain, passed by a noodle stall, and asked for two bowls of green onion noodles by the way.
After a while, the boss served two bowls of hot noodles, and in such a cold weather, just looking at it warmed up.
The boss smiled enthusiastically: "Two guest officers, please use it slowly." ”
Shen Xiuwen was a little familiar when he heard this voice, and when he looked up, he found that he was the uncle who set up a noodle stall at the entrance of Wanlin Village a month ago, and was surprised, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle, aren't you in Wanlin Village in Ning County?" Why did you come to Huaixian? ”
