Anping took Zhang Yuanshan to the house,

The head of the household heard An Ping's introduction that the person who came was his master, known as Xiao Zhang Tianshi, with high mana, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The head of the household was hospitable, and after dinner, Zhang Yuanshan opened the incense case,

Although Zhang Yuanshan listened to Li Bing's explanation and felt that it was quite reasonable, after all, he was a Taoist, so it was naturally impossible for him to give up his practice of exorcising evil spirits because of Li Bing's scientific explanation.

Zhang Yuanshan, who was slightly drunk, opened the incense table, burned incense and prayed to the patriarch, and shouted: "Heaven and earth are natural, and the filth is scattered; The cave is void, and the sun is too yuan; The eight directions are mighty, so that I am natural; Lingbao talisman, proclaimed for nine days; Qianluo Tana, Donggang Taixuan; Kill demons and restrain evil, save thousands of people; Zhongshan Divine Mantra, Yuan Shi Yuwen; Repeat it, but the illness prolongs; According to the line of the five mountains; Eight seas of knowledge; The demon king binds his head and guards my Xuan; The ferocity dissipates, the Tao lasts forever, and the urgency is like a law. ”

After reciting the mantra of Pure Heaven and Earth, Zhang Yuanshan made a handprint, stepped on the five elements, and walked around the incense case quickly.

Not long after, the exorcism ceremony ended, Zhang Yuanshan held a peachwood sword and sat on a chair.

The head of the household and Anping served by Zhang Yuanshan's side, chatting with him about family life, waiting for midnight to come.

Zhang Yuanshan took a sip of tea and said: "I have cast a spell, if this house is really evil, then under the effect of the spirit talisman spell, when midnight comes, it will be unbearable to come out, and then, I will do it again to disperse this evil soul." ”

The head of the household was full of joy when he heard this, and he couldn't stop praising Zhang Yuanshan, and respectfully handed Zhang Yuanshan tea and cigarettes.

Near midnight, Zhang Yuanshan ordered everyone to be silent, he sat on a chair, closed his eyes and listened,

After listening for a while, there was no movement, Zhang Yuanshan slowly opened his eyes, looked out the window, except for the faint dim street lights, it was rare to see the windows of someone's house still lit.

In the silence, a slight sound of marbles rolling suddenly came from the floor, which was very clear and recognizable.

The head of the household and An Ping looked a little nervous, looking at Zhang Yuanshan, they didn't dare to kick it, but they saw that Zhang Yuanshan looked calm, sitting on the chair, standing still,

After a while, there was another sound of marbles rolling on the ceiling, followed by another sound, and it seemed that the frequency of the sound was increasing.

Zhang Yuanshan quietly took out a pack of yellow paper, revealing the red cinnabar inside,

His ears listened to the position of the marbles on the ceiling, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth,

The head of the household and An Ping suddenly felt a red mist spread in the house, but saw Zhang Yuanshan raise his hand and sprinkle a large bag of cinnabar on the ceiling.

In the cinnabar red mist, Zhang Yuanshan jumped on the chair with a quick movement, holding a peachwood sword, chanting words in his mouth, and poked a few times at the place where the ceiling made a noise,

When Zhang Yuanshan stopped chanting the mantra, he jumped down from the chair, put the peachwood sword on the table, patted the cinnabar on his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's been solved, and your house will be safe from now on." ”

The head of the household was sincerely frightened, and couldn't help nodding and thanking Zhang Yuanshan,

The three of them listened quietly for a while, and there was really no movement on the floor, and the hanging heart of the head of the household was relaxed.

The three of them chatted, and from time to time they quieted down to listen to the movement, and before they knew it, the sky was already slightly bright, and sure enough, it was a safe night, and they never heard the sound of marbles again.

The wife of the head of the household had also gotten up at this time, and when she saw the excited appearance of the head of the household, she already understood in her heart that her house was too peaceful, and she couldn't help but be full of joy and gave breakfast to the three of them.

After eating breakfast, Zhang Yuanshan wiped his mouth and was about to say goodbye and leave, but saw his apprentice An Ping with frightened hands open, pointing to the ceiling and shouting, "Master, look, what is that." ”

Zhang Yuanshan couldn't help but be surprised, looked up and said: "Anping, why are you panicking, the ceiling is red, and it's not blood, it's the cinnabar that the master sprinkled there last night, after we leave, just ask the head of the household to wipe it himself." ”

An Ping said: "Master, it's not like that, if you take a closer look, it seems to be a person." ”

Zhang Yuanshan looked suspiciously in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he felt that there seemed to be some dark shadows in the red.

Zhang Yuanshan was also secretly surprised in his heart, he couldn't believe his eyes, because that red shadow really looked like a person lying on his stomach, with a head, a body and limbs,

The head of the household also panicked and said: "Zhang Tianshi, is this shadow the dirty thing that has been disturbing my house, why is it still lying on the ceiling, it's too terrible, and ask the master to get rid of it quickly." ”

An Ping pretended to be calm and said to the landlord: "Don't be afraid, my master's mana is strong, this should be the shadow left by the evil spirit that he dispersed." ”

After hearing this, although the head of the household was skeptical, he still couldn't suppress the fear in his heart.

Zhang Yuanshan stared at it for a long time and said, "No, don't make any noise, let me think about what's going on." ”

Several other people couldn't help but close their mouths when they heard the words, their eyes looked at the shadow on the ceiling from time to time, and then lowered their heads to look at Zhang Yuanshan's expression.

Zhang Yuanshan stared at the figure without turning his eyes, a terrible thought came to him in his heart, he turned back to the head of the household and said, "Didn't you hear that there is a plumber rented upstairs, can you take us up to have a look." ”

The head of the household said: "I haven't seen him for many days, and I don't know when he will come back." ”

Zhang Yuanshan asked: "You are the landlord, do you have the room key to the upstairs attic, if so, please take me up to have a look." ”

The head of the household agreed, and with a nervous look on his face, rummaged through the drawer for a while, and found the key to the attic.

The head of the household led Zhang Yuanshan and An Ping and opened the door of the attic.

Zhang Yuanshan took a closer look at the room, and felt that everything was just as Anping told him, the room was simple, except for the bed and some messy tools and tableware, there was nothing else,

Zhang Yuanshan was so strange, and when he was about to ask a question, a loud shout came from behind him, which startled everyone.

Zhang Yuanshan turned around and saw a burly middle-aged man standing at the door with a gloomy face.

The man shouted to the head of the household: "Boss Zhang, what are you doing while I'm not at home and opening my room without permission, although this house is yours, but now it's rented by me, you don't have the right to sneak in." ”

The head of the household hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother, I'm sorry, because my family is not very peaceful, I asked these two masters to do it, they proposed to go upstairs to have a look, you happen to be not at home, I can only take them up to have a look." ”

The man roared in a low voice, "If it's okay, please leave now, Boss Zhang, I don't want this to happen again in the future." ”

The head of the household nodded again and again, Zhang Yuanshan saw that the atmosphere was tense, and he didn't say anything, turned around and walked downstairs,

The head of the household chased after him and asked Zhang Yuanshan nervously, "Master Zhang, did you find anything just now?" ”

Zhang Yuanshan frowned and said, "It's nothing, it may be that the place is damp, and there is just such a shadow, you just paint those places." ”

When the head of the household saw Zhang Yuanshan say this, he breathed a sigh of relief, took out a thousand yuan, handed it to Zhang Yuanshan, thanked him repeatedly, and respectfully sent Zhang Yuanshan and An Ping downstairs before leaving.
