Chapter 7: The Red Soul Asks for His Life
Xie Ling said that I am a talent, but what he said is not bad at all.
I'm not ugly in the first place, but my skin is slightly darker. After swallowing the white as frosty Neidan, this only drawback gradually disappeared. Not only is the skin as smooth as jade, but the temperament has also become much more elegant, compared with the rustic peasant boy in the past, it seems to be a different person.
The fox spirits are all good-looking, and under the transformation of the white frost Neidan, I don't dare to look in the mirror more, for fear of accidentally falling in love with myself, hehe.
As for the greatest role of Neidan, it is mainly reflected in my perception of Taoist practice.
The uncle said that the failure of the Bai Rushuang Tribulation was only the vitality, and the eight hundred years of Taoism were not damaged at all, and all of them were hidden in the inner dan. Because of this, my spiritual advancement is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Let's take drawing talismans as an example, if you want to draw the first spiritual talisman that is flowing and flowing and has both spirit and energy, it is impossible to do it without a few months of hard work. Not only do there are many strokes, but each stroke also has its own divine power, and the corresponding gods are also different. When drawing talismans, the state of mind of cultivation and the expression of Taoism are very demanding.
But I did it in just one day.
The first talisman I drew is called the Celestial Master Town House Talisman, which can be placed at home to keep safe, drive away evil spirits and avoid filth. After finishing the painting, Xie Ling was shocked on the spot, so he showed it to Liu Laodao.
Liu Laodao was silent for a long time after reading it, and finally wrote eight words on the talisman paper with a long sigh: Born with a Taoist heart, with his own cultivation.
In fact, where I have any Dao heart, it's not all because of the white frost inner pill. My uncle wouldn't let me talk to anyone about it, and I certainly didn't want to uncover the scar on my heart.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and I have been studying hard with Xie Ling every day. I just want to learn the Tao as soon as possible, go to the world to practice and accumulate merits, and seek vitality for Bai Rushuang.
When she comes back to life, I want to ask her what is wrong with me, why she fell in love with me at first sight, and why she is so affectionate.
With a beauty as white as frost, if you want to share the merits of the debt by relying on the marriage contract of heaven and earth, there are many men who are willing to dedicate themselves. I'm not Yang Guo, there's no need for her to mistake for me for life.
For most of the half a year in Guiyunguan, Liu Laodao and Xie Ling did not receive any business. Their ability is mainly to kill ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, and sneaky in modern society is a rare thing, and it is normal not to open for three years.
Moreover, Guiyunguan is located in such a remote area, and the popularity is definitely not high, and Liu Laodao is expensive again.
I'm not idle, and I often go to a few nearby villages to do rituals to surpass the soul. This kind of thing used to be done by Liu Laodao himself, and he didn't accept money from the villagers, which was regarded as the friendship of neighbors. When I came, he did all the work for me.
Crossing the soul of the dead can accumulate some merit, although it is very small, but as long as I think that every point of merit increases, I am one step closer to condensing vitality for white as frost.
After going there a few times, the incense of Guiyunguan suddenly became vigorous. The people who come to burn incense are all big girls and little daughters-in-law, and there are almost no men.
Xie Ling was very dissatisfied with this.
They didn't come to burn incense at all, but to see me. When Xie Ling said this, the vinegar on his face was very obvious. She is already thirteen years old, and the half-grown girl has already had something on her mind.
It's easy to guess what's on her mind.
Of course, it can't be Liu Laodao, it can only be me.
……
The good times are the easiest to break, and on this day, a big business came to the Taoist temple.
A typical rural nouveau riche drove a big Toyota and carried 500,000 cash to invite Liu Laodao out of the mountain.
This man's name is Zhao Shanhu, he is in his early forties, tall and strong. It's just that the Yin Hall is gray, with horizontal lines, and there is a heavy melancholy between the eyebrows.
Zhao Shanhu is the head of Liushutun, 30 miles away, who is very famous in the local area, has been reported on the news on TV many times, and is a large taxpayer in the county. They specialize in collecting and processing high-quality matsutake mushrooms and exporting them to Japan to earn foreign exchange. There are more than 200 people in the village, and every family has a small western-style building.
After seeing Liu Laodao, Zhao Shanhu first gave a respectful salute, and then opened the money box, revealing the red banknotes inside.
I was a little shocked when I saw so much money for the first time, and I didn't expect that there were really people willing to spend 500,000 yuan to invite Liu Laodao to come out of the mountain. I think he must have been in a big trouble to make such a big deal.
I was looking forward to waiting for Zhao Shanhu to say his troubles, but he was just about to make a statement, but he was stopped by Liu Laodao.
"Your business involves too much cause and effect, and it is contrary to my destiny. If I take this old bone, I'm afraid I won't survive this year. In this way, I'll leave it to Xie Ling. Whether it can be solved or not is left to fate. Liu Laodao said.
"Mr. Liu, this time it's the Red Soul asking for your life, if you don't go out of the mountain, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to be good." Zhao Shanhu was anxious when he heard it.
"Hmph, since you know that it's the Red Soul asking for your life, you shouldn't have come to beg me at all." Liu Laodao snorted coldly and said.
Red Soul, commonly known as the Ghost of Death. Han was wrongly killed, and after his death, he couldn't bear to break up his body, and the underworld refused to restrain his soul, leaving him in the world to avenge himself.
If you get into trouble with a life-seeking ghost, you can't escape even if you hide in the Taoist temple. For the powerful ghosts turned into red souls, if the Taoist priest forcibly kills them, he will lose his life.
Zhao Shanhu saw Liu Laodao say this, but there was no way. Silently closed the cash box. He took out five hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Xie Ling.
Xie Ling didn't even look at it, his face was full of contempt.
"When death is dying, I am still greedy for money. Since you brought the 500,000 yuan, do you still want to take it back? Liu Laodao said with extreme dissatisfaction.
"Mr. Liu, it's not me Zhao Shanhu who picks the door, if you go out of the mountain, I won't frown if I throw these 500,000 yuan here. When I came, I inquired, and Master Xiao Xie's worth is 500 yuan. Zhao Shanhu said with a red face.
"Well, you're right, Xie Ling's appearance fee is five hundred. However, he was worth four hundred and ninety-nine thousand five! Liu Laodao pointed his finger at me and said loudly.
Liu Laodao said that I was worth 499,005, which not only scared Zhao Shanhu, but I was also startled.
Damn, didn't you just open your mouth, when did I become so worthy?
Zhao Shanhu began to stare at me, from head to toe.
"Don't look, what can you see? I have already made it very clear, if you believe me, I will put the money here, and let them follow you back to the village to do errands, if you don't believe me, you can go down the mountain now. ”
Liu Laodao said it to death, Zhao Shanhu thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you two will go back to Liushutun with me." ”
On the way, Zhao Shanhu drove slowly and told us about the trouble he encountered.
Zhao Shanhu has a son named Zhao Zhi, who is only twenty years old this year. Relying on the wealth and power in his family, coupled with Zhao Shanhu's usual lack of discipline, after dropping out of high school, he fooled around with a few bastard boys in the township every day.
Two years ago, Zhao Zhi talked about a girlfriend named Wang Fang. Wang Fang is fair-skinned and beautiful, and she is a famous beauty from ten miles and eight towns. He is also knowledgeable, kind and gentle. Zhao Shanhu and his wife were very satisfied with Wang Fang, thinking that their son should learn well this time.
Zhao Zhi had a lot of means, and after the two of them dated for a long time, they dealt with Wang Fang.
But he has a big heart, and his bad habits for many years will not be able to contain his heart for a while. I can't stand Wang Fang's chattering every day, and I want to break up after I get tired of playing.
The girl attaches great importance to the first time, but Wang Fang naturally refuses.
On this day, when he took Wang Fang to the city to sing, he came up with a bad idea to force her to break up. He drunk Wang Fang first, and then let a few buddies who came with him turn Wang Fang in the KTV box.
Hearing this, Xie Ling patted his chair and scolded the beast king bastard several times.
Zhao Shanhu didn't expect Xie Ling's temper to be so straight, his old face turned red, and he almost missed the steering wheel.
Actually, I admire Zhao Shanhu's courage very much, and he said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and what he said meant was that he didn't plan to hide his secrets at all.
But it's no wonder that the red soul has been provoked, even if it can hide from people, can it still hide from ghosts and gods?
When Xie Ling's anger gradually subsided, Zhao Shanhu stubbornly continued to speak.
After the KTV incident, Wang Fang also recognized Zhao Zhi's face, and broke up with Zhao Zhi after asking for a large amount of breakup fee.
Not long after the breakup, Zhao Zhi, a slut, remembered Wang Fang's good coming again after being chic for a while. Wang Fang naturally refused to be involved with Zhao Zhiyou anymore, no matter how he entangled, he just didn't let go.
It happened that someone recorded the ugly thing they did in the box that day, and Zhao Zhi sent the video to Wang Fang, in order to coerce her to come to the house to play. Wang Fang was forced to be helpless, so he came to Zhao Zhi.
During this period, Zhao Zhi had to forcibly have a relationship with Wang Fang, Wang Fang refused to obey him, and bit Zhao Zhi. Zhao Zhi called his buddies in anger, and it happened that Zhao Shanhu and his family were not at home that day, and a group of livestock turned Wang Fang again.
"Damn, my aunt and grandmother want to get out of the car! If you don't take this job, you drive back to find Liu Laodao to return the money. Xie Ling burst into foul language.
I didn't persuade her, because I also thought so, Zhao Zhi and his bastard friends deserve to die, and the more miserable they die, the more relieved they are.
"Little Daoist Xie, can we finish the story?" Zhao Shanhu said with a bitter face.
"Okay, you say. I'd like to hear how you whitewashed your son. Xie Ling said.
Zhao Shanhu said that Wang Fang suffered two consecutive disgraces and was determined to die. After coming out of his house in despair, he untied his trouser belt and hanged himself on the willow tree at the entrance of the village.
When he died, he was naked, and there was a bloody word of hatred written on his chest......
