Chapter 6: The Old Taoist

Originally.

The second son of the Jiang family, who is haunted by evil in the city, is the nephew of the county magistrate.

After an outing, he was possessed by a ghost, and his temperament changed greatly, which made the Jiang family uneasy.

The magistrate was also upset by his wife.

I came to the county office today and ordered Mao, so I went to Jiang's house with the county Cheng, planning to visit and appease Mr. Jiang.

Wang Xiao came to contact them for work, and happened to be staggered with them.

……

"Hey, Lord Wang doesn't know."

As he spoke, Master Wang also sighed and said, "The old man of the Jiang family has always had a good reputation. ”

"Whenever a bridge is built and paved, he will pay for and send food, and he is a well-known good man in the county."

"The juniors in the family somehow fell into this bad luck, and most of the people in the rivers and lakes who came with heavy bounties were also wine bags and rice bags, and they were helpless in the face of evil."

"It's so noisy, why don't you report it to the Demon Suppression Division?" Wang Xiao asked his doubts.

"Why didn't you report it?"

Master Wang smiled bitterly: "The magistrate sent someone to the state capital two days ago, but there is still no news......

The Demon Suppression Division specializes in the treatment of demons and evil spirits, and although it is extremely prestigious, the lack of manpower is their biggest shortcoming.

Within the imperial court, the Demon Suppression Division branch is currently only available in each state city.

Wang Xiao nodded and didn't say anything more.

Since the county magistrate is not here, it would be good to come back another day on the errand at hand.

So he politely refused the place of residence arranged by the king's master book, and got up to say goodbye.

It's good to be quiet when you're new to the city.

Out of the county office, Wang Xiao thought of the demon atlas, this world is rampant with ghosts, and if you want to live a stable life, you must find a way to enhance your strength.

The affairs of the Jiang family, if you have the opportunity, you can try your luck.

Return to the inn.

Wang Xiao found that there were a lot of people gathered around.

The shouting and shouting came from time to time, and it turned out to be a pair of Taoist priests and apprentices wearing gray Taoist robes, who were performing on the street and changing their tricks.

Wang Xiao shook his head, without the idea of watching, turned around and went back to the inn, ready to book a room for a few more days.

But the familiar voice of the old man attracted his attention.

"It's not easy to sell art to earn a little money, all the officials, donors and good people, if you have money, please make a money."

"Next is my Daomen's secret paper figure technique, absolutely wonderful, don't miss it!"

Isn't it the person who woke him up from an argument with his apprentice in the next room earlier?

In the content of their conversation, it seems that they have been to the family of Jiang Shan, and it seems that they have given up on exorcism for unknown reasons?

Wang Xiao stopped and became interested in this Taoist master and apprentice.

The old Taoist priest naturally didn't know that someone was looking at their master and apprentice in the dark.

After talking to the onlookers, he took out a yellow talisman from his arms and threw it into the sky, and said in his mouth:

"Jiazi protects your body, Jiaxu protects your shape!"

"Jiashen solidifies your life, Jiawu guards your soul!"

"Jiachen Zhen Ru Ling, Jiayin Yu True Spirit!"

"The god of Rokko will listen to my orders!"

The voice fell.

The yellow talisman suspended in front of the old Taoist priest was windless and automatic, and it actually folded into a humanoid shape in the air!

Then he slowly fell to the ground and hugged his fists around very spiritually.

Seeing that everyone in the audience applauded and sighed again and again.

"The Taoist is so powerful!"

"Grapevine."

The old Taoist priest waved his hand, his face not showing waves.

Waiting for the shouting to stop for a while, he continued: "The excitement is still to come, Xuan Xin, get ready!" ”

"Yes, master!"

A young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old answered, trotted to the inn and brought out a brazier and placed it in front of the old Taoist.

Don't wait for everyone to wonder.

The old Taoist priest pinched the magic trick in his hand and shouted: "Go!" ”

I saw the palm-sized yellow rune paper figure leap into the brazier!

"Huh?"

"This?"

This scene made everyone stunned at first, and then they were all in an uproar, and the shock in their eyes was difficult to hide!

"Undefeated in the face of fire, this is the real immortal magic!"

"The Taoist is magical, it's really amazing and fascinating!"

On the field, in the pot of burning brazier, the yellow rune paper figure sat in the middle as if in a fixed position, and the bright scorching flame never burned it!

And that's not all.

The old Taoist priest saw everyone's reaction, nodded slightly with satisfaction, then took off the gourd hanging from his waist, walked to the brazier, and poured water into it.

Laugh at!

The brazier was extinguished, and a puff of green smoke was raised.

Wait until the smoke clears.

Even Wang Xiao was shocked by the scene in the field.

I saw that in the extinguished brazier, the yellow rune paper figure was still intact and stayed in it!

It was as if he was dissatisfied, and his body was stained with a lot of ashes.

It shook its body very spiritually, revealing its complete yellow paper body, and then flew straight back to the old Taoist priest's hand as if it were resisting the wind.

"Good!"

"The art of a one-handed paper figure is invulnerable, and the Taoist is so powerful!"

The cheers came and went.

At this time, someone asked: "Dao Chang Immortal Law is good, why don't you catch the Jiang family's evil spirit?" ”

"Good question!"

Wang Xiao glanced at the person who asked the question, which was also the doubt in his heart.

Judging from the magic just now, the old Taoist priest in front of him has the Tao in his body, and it should not be a problem to deal with some lonely souls and wild ghosts.

What was the reason for him to shy away from the ghosts in the Jiang family?

At that time, the old Taoist priest's answer made Wang Xiao unexpectedly disappointed.

The donor laughed. The old Taoist priest made a joke: "Poor Dao knows a little bit about some tricks, and he just walks the rivers and lakes to beg for food." ”

"Since that ghost thing is entangled with the son of the Jiang family, there must be cause and effect in it, how dare the poor Dao rush forward."

"It's just a ghost, I'm afraid it's hard to defeat the Taoist, right?"

"But it's not, the master said, that dirty thing is very violent, and he is not sure to take it......"

"As long as you talk a lot, don't hurry up and thank your donors!"

The last sentence was obviously addressed to the apprentice beside him.

"Hehe, this afternoon's meal has been settled."

Xuan Xin smiled and picked up the clay bowl and took the reward money from everyone.

At this time, a movement behind him attracted the attention of everyone who had not yet dispersed.

A middle-aged man covered his nose, his face was full of disgust, and said, "Go and go, tell Hanako to drill this way, go away, stink to death!" ”

As he spoke, he took a few steps back, avoiding a beggar who had approached him.

The beggar was ragged and his hair was disheveled, and he stood shivering in the cold wind.

"Hey, this looks like the lost maid of the Jiang family?" Someone recognized the identity of the beggar.

"Is it the maid who heard that the master's house is haunted by ghosts and things, and then was scared crazy?"

"Isn't it, why are you here?"

Everyone in the audience pointed and pointed, but they all avoided the beggar who was far away.

"The Jiang family's crazy maid?"

Wang Xiao's eyes moved when he heard this, his face remained silent, and he secretly paid attention to the conversation of those people.

But I saw the old Taoist priest step forward, and made a mockery to a few pedestrians around the beggar, and said, "It's all a guest, so that a few donors can laugh." ”

"Xuanxin, go buy steamed buns"
