It has passed the tenth day of the first month, although there are some clouds in the sky, the light is okay, and Mr. Lin can lead the way in front without a flashlight. I followed him through the alleys between several ancient houses, the ground was paved with bluestone slabs, and on both sides were high earthen walls, with arches and cornices, as if I had returned to a hundred years ago.

It's very quiet here, the rich have built new houses, the poor have gone out to work, and the ancestral house is like a rag of clothes being discarded. But because many people have shares, they can't be dismantled or sold, so it's empty.

There is an antique building behind the hill behind the village, with glazed tiles, big red walls, a huge stone gate and a majestic stone tablet, and the door is inlaid with couplets and a plaque that is a little too gorgeous, which reads "XX King". Some people have made a fortune and want to make their ancestors beautiful, so they build a lot of buildings, but after they are built, they are rarely patronized except for the New Year's holidays.

The temple door is locked and you can't get in, but Xiaoxue can fly in, and there are several statues of gods inside, none of which are serious immortals. It may coincide with the Chinese New Year, and there are incense and candles lit on the altar, there are a lot of offerings, and there is a small stage in front of the statue, which seems to have been used not long ago.

I only smelled the smell of incense and the smoke of firecrackers, but Xiaoxue smelled the smell of its kind: "I should have just left, good fellow, I will really enjoy it, the table is full of food." ”

I asked, "Isn't it here?" ”

"My kind are very alert, maybe they found out that we were coming and hiding, but it doesn't matter, I can call it, you and the surnamed Lin stand back a little."

I told Mr. Lin to step back, Xiaoxue let out a howling sound that no one could hear, she is a big demon at the level of a fox fairy, how dare the little demon of her great-great-grandchildren not come when she hears the call? Soon I sensed a breath coming from the side over the walls and into the temple.

Xiaoxue stood on the offering table in human form, and through her I could see a young man in the main hall, quite handsome, even charming, wearing very fashionable clothes, but no shoes, two legs were still animal feet, and a tail was dragging behind. The young man knelt down and kowtowed: "I don't know that the seniors are coming, and there is a disappointment, resentment, resentment!" ”

Xiao Xue made a face and snorted: "Do you really not know that I am coming, or did you have a bad accident to avoid me?" ”

The young man kowtowed again and again: "The villain really didn't know that the ancestor was coming, but he found that there were high-ranking people approaching, so he avoided it." ”

Xiaoxue said: "I don't care if I don't greet me in time, it's just that you shouldn't use incense in other people's small temples, why did you kill other people's children?" ”

The boy hurriedly said, "That child was born with a strange talent, and he could see me attached to the statue of the god, and beat me with a stick, almost knocking me out of my original form." At that time, there were many people, and I couldn't get out, so I became a palace guard and escaped, but I was beaten by him again, and he escaped into a small hole, and he stabbed me with a stick, which almost killed me. ”

Xiaoxue said angrily: "First, he is young and ignorant, and secondly, it is already justified for you to occupy people's temples and receive incense, and you can just punish him slightly, how can you get someone's life?" Even if no one in the world has anything to do with you, don't the gods of heaven and earth know? Can you escape such evil? ”

The young man was a little frightened: "I, I'm also angry and anxious, I didn't think too much, and I see that he has a special spirit, like a person who has reached the end of his life, so he ......."

Xiaoxue said: "Whether he is Yang Shou or not, it is not your turn to decide his life and death." Since you have the heart to cultivate, you should find a quiet place to work hard, but you are greedy for fireworks in the world, and you are unscrupulous with a little skill, and even harm people's lives. I can't spare you today! ”

The young man kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy, and Xiaoxue asked me with her thoughts: "Son, what do you think of it?" ”

The rights and wrongs Xiaoxue has already analyzed, but how to deal with this little fox is a little troublesome, I threw this hot potato back: "This seems to be your housework, you can watch it." ”

Xiaoxue said: "It's a little unbearable to kill it, and it's a little unreasonable not to kill it, and I can't cover it." Otherwise, punish it and let it secretly help the child's family to do something in the future to make up for it. ”

I agreed, Xiaoxue scolded the boy again, and then said: "I should have killed you, but you are also young and ignorant, and you have a heart of remorse, so I will spare you today." In the future, you should always take care of that family, help them to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and everything will go well, if you can cultivate a complete human body before the death of that couple, you must recognize them as righteous fathers and mothers, and fulfill the filial piety of your children, so that they can enjoy their old age in peace. ”

"Yes, yes, the villain will do so, and he will never dare to slack off." The boy kowtowed again and again.

I said to Mr. Lin: "The evil things in this have been dealt with, and they will not harm people in the future, although your brother-in-law's family has lost their children, all aspects will be smooth in the future, don't worry about it anymore." ”

"That's good." Mr. Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but soon looked at me suspiciously, "Didn't you see you chanting spells and casting spells, this is solved?" ”

I smiled: "I have a very capable assistant, if you are not afraid, I will ask her to come out and show you." ”

Mr. Lin looked surprised: "Of course I want to see, what am I afraid of when you are here?" ”

Xiaoxue appeared, wearing a long dress for women in the Tang Dynasty, holding a glowing white rabbit in her hand, and looking at Mr. Lin with a smile. Now that her cultivation is profound, even if she is a spirit body, she can see it with the naked eye, plus the jade rabbit will glow, adding a fairy aura, Mr. Lin is completely stunned.

Xiaoxue disappeared in a flash, and Mr. Lin came back to his senses: "This, this...... Is this Chang'e descending to earth? ”

"It's not Chang'e, it's a fairy." I said vaguely.

Mr. Lin said excitedly: "Xiao Zhang, you can accept me as an apprentice!" ”

This time it was my turn to be surprised, Mr. Lin said: "No matter how much money you make, it's not interesting, like you, even fairies can be invited, subduing demons and catching ghosts, eliminating violence and peace, how magical and freehand!" ”

"Ha Lu Ha ......," I laughed, "everyone has a life, some people are born to be on the road, and some people are born to be rich and noble." Take your nephew as an example, it may have been a premature death, and even if he didn't encounter this incident, there might have been other accidents, so some things are open. ”

Mr. Lin nodded, of course he knew that he was not the material to be a god, and there were some things that could not be forced, just talk about it.

Xiaoxue said to me: "By the way, his nephew is quite special, he may be able to be sacrificed into a fairy child, you can discuss it with him, so that the child can not only seek a future, but also let the adult have a sustenance, and after the child has some spirituality, he can also meet his parents in a dream." ”

It was a good idea, but I really didn't have the heart to do that tedious thing, and I didn't want a kid to follow me all day. I was hesitating, Xiaoxue said: "You don't want to raise it, you can let Xiaofei raise it, the girl is careful and patient, and she will definitely be able to do a good job." And in this way, Xiaofei can also get a lot of help, she is good at fortune telling, divination, and physiognomy, with a fairy child to help her, seeing the two worlds of yin and yang, and listening to the two ways of immortals and ghosts, she is absolutely accurate and super effective. ”

"Okay, okay, I just feel that it's a little unfair to give Ling Fengpiao a golden weapon before, and I didn't send high-grade things to Xiaofei, so it's the best!"

I didn't immediately tell Mr. Lin that I only started to ask him about the situation on the way back to the city, and his nephew was almost seven years old, and he was very smart and sensible since he was a child, and he was also very likable. His brother-in-law's surname is Yang, his family is solid, he lacks nothing, and he only gave birth to such a child, so this incident hit the family very hard.

After understanding the situation, I said, "We are friends, and I am very sad when I encounter such a thing, and I will definitely try my best to help." I want to do a very important ritual for the child, transcend him, and give him a chance to cultivate and become an immortal. This is not empty words, in the future, this child can often entrust his parents with dreams, and imagine with his parents in dreams, proving that I am not lying. ”

"Okay, okay, thank you very much. I've seen what you're capable of, so of course I believe you. ”

"But this ritual is more troublesome and takes a long time......

Mr. Lin hurriedly said, "It doesn't matter, you can ask for as much as you want." ”

I laughed and said, "It's not about money, it's about some rituals that are not easy for ordinary people to understand. For example, I need his complete body to be there, and I have to cast a spell and chant it every day for more than a month, without interruption for a day. This process cannot be bumped into by outsiders, so a quiet place is needed, and the body will not be cremated until a month or two later. ”

Mr. Lin said: "As long as it is good for the children, my brother-in-law's family will definitely agree, and I will tell them to go back to the city, and the venue and the like are not a problem." ”

"Another question, I'm very busy, and this Dharma will be presided over by my junior sister, and this child will follow her in cultivation in the future. My junior sister, you know, you are the granddaughter of Ouyang Yiming in the White Tower incident. ”

Mr. Lin promised that the love of adults for children is selfless and boundless, even if they pass away, as long as it is good for children, they are willing to do anything.

Mr. Lin's success in his career made him quite prestigious among his relatives and friends, and his brother-in-law and sister had listened to his advice and had returned home from the hospital. After Mr. Lin communicated with his sister and brother-in-law, the couple immediately promised to fully support me and completely obey my arrangement.

I saw the child's body, and sure enough, it was clear and beautiful, snow-white and lovely, and its face looked calm and peaceful, as if it was asleep. I found a yellow cloth to wrap the body in, used a talisman to calm its soul, did some preliminary treatment, and then put it in the ice coffin. Mr. Lin was more anxious than me, knowing that Ouyang Zhenfei was near my hometown, he sent a car to pick him up overnight, and Lin Mei, Ouyang Zhenfei and Ling Fengpiao arrived the next morning.

Ouyang Zhenfei had a great interest in cultivating fairy children, and gladly accepted this important task, so I taught her the method and found a private house in a secluded place outside the city as a place for sacrifice. It's easy to do things with money, there's nothing that can't be done, and it's efficient.

After settling down, Ouyang Zhenfei took care of the sacrifice, and I began to plan to go to Niushan Island to salvage the wreck. I need a boat to go to sea, and I have to ask Mr. Lin for help in this matter, and he readily agreed, asking for someone to give people, asking for a car for a car, and the yacht was quickly obtained, everything was ready, and he could finally go to sea.
