After walking for several miles, he suddenly heard the sound of flowing water in front of him, and the light gradually appeared, and he had walked out of the mud cave, and when he arrived at the entrance of the cave in the mountain, a dark river two zhang wide flowed out of the cave mouth, sometimes turbulent, sometimes gentle, and the river water flowed down the mountain along the mountain road.

The old man jumped to the other side of the river, he walked forward, the mountains were wooded, he came to a flat place to look at the ancient dragon town, the sunset had sunk into the side of the mountain, the town was full of smoke, and he was already on the top of Xiaofeng Mountain. He walked slowly down the mountain road, which was inaccessible and full of thorns, and every step required a shovel to open the way.

When he came to the town, the twilight had sunk, and the old man saw that the baby in his arms had not woken up for a long time, he tested the baby's snort, only to feel that the breath was very weak, and the old man was very anxious, and ran straight to Yao Banxian's cottage.

When everyone saw the old man holding the baby in his arms and hurrying, they all shouted in surprise and teased: "This bad old man hasn't seen him for a few days, where did he get a baby back?" I must have found a small outside, because I was afraid that others would know about it, so panicked and embarrassed, right? ”

Everyone laughed......

The old man didn't care about the gossip, and hurried forward with his head down, and a group of children curiously followed him, laughing and scolding.

Came to the door of Yao Banxian's house, it was dark, the old man was stopped by Ding Jien, saying that his master was unwell today, and it was not suitable to see guests, and told the old man to come again tomorrow.

The old man was shocked and asked, "Who is in the coffin?" ”

Ji En wiped his tears and replied: My master was still walking like a fly yesterday, but today he said that his longevity was over, and he fell down at the dinner table and died of exhaustion. ”

The old man couldn't help but feel secretly lost in his heart, but it was a pity that Yao Banxian's superb and exquisite medical skills, how many dying people came back to life in his hands, and now he can't escape this ruthless time, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Life is natural, after all, it is still back to nature, and no one can escape this eternal law." ”

The old man put three sticks of incense for Yao Banxian, and was about to leave to find other good doctors, when he suddenly found a hole the size of an index finger on the coffin cover, and bursts of heat came out of the hole.

The old man grinned and plugged the hole with his fingers.

Half a sound, only to hear the coffin board being knocked thumping, frightened Ding Jien's fart, sitting on the ground unable to move.

There was a muffled "bang", the coffin lid flew out, and a man jumped up from the coffin, chanting: "Suffocate me, suffocate me......"

This man was wearing a black shroud, with two mustaches on the corners of his mouth, and a sharp-beaked monkey cheek-like appearance, which was very strange. This is the divine doctor Yao Banxian, because he is also quite accomplished in fortune-telling and feng shui, everyone gave him the nickname "Demon Banxian".

The old man shouted: "Okay, you are a demon and a half-immortal, you dare to cheat to death, you think I am a living dead and unlucky, are you not welcome?" ”

Yao Banxian gasped and said, "You bad old man, why did you come here now, causing me to suffocate and suffocate in the coffin...... Find me something, say it quickly, I don't like verbose people. ”

It turned out that Yao Banxian had calculated that the bad old man would come to look for him, and that night, Yao Banxian was lying on his side on the bed, and the armillary sphere on the desk kept shaking when he was drowsy.

Yao Banxian walked out of the house uneasily, observing the celestial phenomena, just when the moon and stars were scarce, suddenly a meteor with extraordinary brightness pierced the sky and disappeared into the Lingshan Ancient Tomb, he entered the house, and used the "magic technique" to rotate the gossip map hanging on the southeast wall, the gossip map rotated faster and faster on the paper, and stopped abruptly when it rotated to the kan position, and the Taiji in the center faintly showed the scene of the bad old man holding the baby in his arms being chased by four big men......

Yao Banxian pinched his fingers, and had a premonition that something was wrong, he didn't want to get involved in this turmoil, and wanted to deceive the old man by cheating his death, but unexpectedly, there was an arrangement in the dark, but his bad move was seen through by the old man, which was the will of God.

The old man took the baby from his arms, the baby was already dying, Yao Banxian looked at the baby for a moment, and then looked at the scabies on the baby's body, some of the scabies had pus and bleeding, he picked up the pulse on the baby's right hand, and brushed the two mustaches on the corner of his mouth with his left hand.

Yao Banxian felt that although the baby's pulse was extremely weak, the two true qi in his body were hidden deep in his heart and lungs, rushing straight to the "Shenmen Acupoint" and "Taiyuan Acupoint", he couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart: "This kid is born with such internal strength, and his life should not be extinguished."

When Yao Banxian touched the scabies on the baby's body, a demonic aura stung his fingers, he subconsciously took his fingers back, and after a while, he sighed and said slowly: "This kid has been cursed, that is, Gu poison." He looked at the old man and said, "Come with me......"

Yao Banxian walked to the back hall, the old man followed closely with the baby in his arms, through the courtyard of the back hall, Yao Banxian came to a stone stele, the stele was engraved with three big characters "Yin Yang Palace", below the word is a gossip map, Yao Banxian drew a square point on the gossip map, and the stele rotated to the right.

A dark passage presents in front of you, the end of the dark passage is a secret room, the secret room is brightly lit, the old man walked in with Yao Banxian, the secret room is the size of a hall, a bookshelf on the southeast wall blocks the whole wall, the bookshelf is full of some strange books, there are dozens of classics with a wide variety of names such as "Fangshu Sutra", "Nangong Maze Sutra", "Ancient Witch Immortal Technique", "Emperor's Inner Scripture", "Book of Changes", etc., the items in the secret passage are arranged according to the gossip direction map, very elegant and simple.

Yao Banxian took the baby and placed him on the Taiji stone bed in the center of the secret room, which was ancient black and was an extraterrestrial meteorite.

One night twenty years ago, the armillary sphere trembled violently, Yao Banxian watched the sky at night, and found that the handle of the Big Dipper was pointing disorderly, and the jade star was flickering bright and dark, and suddenly the Nangong Nebula and the Beigong Nebula intersected with each other, colliding with an unusually beautiful Taiji diagram, and the stars in the deep universe scattered all around, disappearing into the vast night sky.

In the next two years, the armillary sphere shook non-stop, late one night, a round table-sized meteor burned and smashed to the river near Longgu Town, the armillary sphere stopped shaking, the meteor hit the river instantly, setting off a thousand huge waves, the northeast corner of Longgu Town near the river was flooded, the houses collapsed, a mess, and washed away many people.

When the tide receded, Yao Banxian summoned the people in the town to salvage the meteorite, invited craftsmen to smooth the meteorite, carved the Taiji pattern at the center of the stone, and placed it in his own secret room.

Yao Banxian took the silver needle, the needle was roasted on the ever-bright lamp, and after the needle was red, he untied the coarse cloth coat wrapped in the baby, pinched the middle finger of the left index finger, and gently rubbed it at the baby's elbow joint, and pierced the hot silver needle to the baby's "Quchi" acupoint.

A thick, black blood came out, and then the silver needle was placed on the flame of the ever-bright lamp to roast, and when the silver needle needle was red and translucent, Yao Banxian let the baby lie flat on his left palm, and the silver needle held in his right hand stabbed the baby's Ren pulse "Shenque acupoint".

The baby cried out with a "wow", struggling with his hands and feet, and the baby pouted as if looking for something.

The old man was overjoyed and said, "This is a god, and it really deserves its name, and it deserves to be a living immortal." ”

Yao Banxian snorted lightly and said, "The carving insect skill is not enough to worry about. He turned around and took a ceramic bottle from the bookshelf and stuffed it in the palm of the old man's hand, "Apply it to the baby's affected area every day, the condition is controllable, but it cannot be cured, I don't know when it will recur, at that time, the gods will not be able to return to the sky." ”

The old man was even amazed and asked, "Why is this why you are so skilled in medicine and helpless?" ”

Yao Banxian replied calmly: "There is yang in yin, there is yin in yang, everything in the world is a balance of yin and yang, mutual checks and balances, however, this guy is no longer as simple as pathology, he was cursed, the evil qi sealed the yin soul door, the yin meridian true qi will eventually dry up, at that time the yang qi will be excited, the whole body will fester, the blood flow will dry up, the yin deficiency cream I gave you will also temporarily alleviate his condition, when his scabies will attack, it depends on his creation." ”

The old man looked at the ceramic bottle in his hand, he squeezed it tightly in his hand, and suddenly remembered what the baby's mother said to him before she died of anger on the Lingshan Mountain, and he hugged the crying baby to the extreme, and muttered: "Is there no feasible way, the old man is willing to take this life." ”

Yao Banxian glanced at the old man and said, "It's not that there is no way, it's just ......"

Yao Banxian wanted to speak and stopped.

The old man asked, "Just what...... Say it? ”

Yao Banxian looked at the crying baby and raised his voice: "Look at his mouth, it seems to be looking for food, if you have a pacifier, let him suck twice, aren't you worried about him starving to death?" Alas...... Let him eat something first! ”

The old man walked out of the secret room with Yao Banxian and came to the hall, where the family brought a bowl of fragrant corn porridge, and the old man scooped the corn porridge with a spoon to feed the baby.

The baby had never tasted breast milk since he was beaten out of the womb, and he ate it without hesitation when he came into contact with the sticky corn porridge. When he had eaten his fill, he lay down in the old man's arms and fell asleep.

When the old man wanted to ask Yao Banxian how to crack the Gu poison on the baby's body, he suddenly heard the voices of people floating outside the house, and the family went out to check, and several men hurriedly broke in.

Before Yao Banxian walked up to the hall, it turned out to be Zhang Wannian and several entourages on the East Street.

Approaching Yao Banxian, Zhang Wannian knelt down and kowtowed, and said in horror: "Dead, all dead, the family is unfortunate, my Zhang family has killed seven or eight men in a row in the past two months, is it naïve to kill my Zhang family?" I implore the half-immortal to show grace and save my Zhang family from fire and water! ”

Zhang Wannian's head was broken with blood, and several entourages also knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Yao Banxian stepped forward to help Zhang Wannian up, and said in surprise: "Why are you so flustered, and speak and listen slowly?" ”

"Please come with me to ......"

Yao Banxian went to the bedroom to get the "gratitude stick" and held it in his hand, and went out with Zhang Wannian and others, and the old man followed the baby in his arms.

The group took advantage of the moonlight to cross the long street, and there were no other figures in the street, and most of the people in the town had already fallen asleep.

Coming to a bend, Zhang Wannian led everyone to the west, entered an alley, passed through a jungle, and then slowly went up along the winding mountain road, when he was about to reach the top, he saw a dead tree standing alone in front of him, a branch on the dead tree stretched out like a human arm, and a corpse hung on the branch, the corpse was draped in a white coat, the long hair hung down the shoulders, the feet were stiff, and the full moon was hanging on the branches of the dead tree at this time.

Suddenly, a crow flew towards the full moon with a "quack" scream......

Zhang Wannian pointed to the corpse and said in horror: "I have been looking for him for several days, and on the day he went out, he was wearing this white coat, and I didn't expect him to hang himself here." ”

Everyone did not dare to approach, for fear of being stained with filth.

Yao Banxian stepped forward to check the corpse, the corpse's face was covered by thick long hair, emitting a foul smell, he used the "gratitude stick" to brush away the corpse's long hair, the corpse's tongue was exposed, its eyes were pecked by crows, blood flowed out of the eye sockets, a gust of wind blew, the corpse swayed with the wind, and the stench was even more pungent.

Yao Banxian turned his head and said calmly: "It is likely that he hanged himself, put him down and I will observe." ”

One of the attendants took an axe from his crotch and cut the rope on which the body was hanged, and the body fell to the ground with a thud.

Yao Banxian lit the candle, and then carefully examined the corpse, and found that the corpse was a male corpse, forty years old, except for the traces of strangulation on the neck, there were no other wounds on the body, ruling out the possibility of murder, he looked up at the branch of the hanging corpse, the branch is not high, you can touch it with your hand, he looked at the stone blocks below, and said affirmatively: "It's suicide, suicide by hanging, you tell me about his situation?" He looked at Zhang Wannian seriously.

Zhang Wannian was frightened, and said: "In the past two years, my Zhang family has been haunted by the devil, and the adult males have a strange disease, first the throat is very itchy, and then there is ulceration, the pain is unbearable, I have searched for good doctors, scattered all the family wealth, but there is no good effect, and finally I am desperate, or I commit suicide, or I leave my hometown, and find another person, my Zhang family from top to bottom everyone is in danger......

Zhang Wannian pointed to the corpse on the ground and continued: "Just two days ago, my fourth uncle was tormented by illness, shouting all day long to find death and life, that day he went out in a white coat, I was afraid that he would do something stupid, secretly followed him a few streets, who knew that he came to the corner of the leopard's head shop but disappeared, we searched for him for three days, still nowhere to be found, and then I heard that a hanged ghost was found on the mountain behind the town, wearing a white coat, terrifying, we went up the mountain to find, this is my fourth uncle's ......"

At this point, Zhang Wannian looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "Because my ancestor of the Zhang family has a deep enmity with the great-grandfather of the half-immortal, I dare not ask for help from the half-immortal in vain, and seeing that the family's connections are about to be dispersed, I shamelessly came to the door, but in fact, I was helpless" Speaking ......of the sore spot, Zhang Wannian choked up.

Yao Banxian sighed with emotion: "Alas! The unjust past is floating into the clouds in a blink of an eye, why bother to take it to heart, how could I ever have thought of it? ”

Zhang Wannian was grateful, and said, "Ask the half-immortal to give you the way to crack it......"

Yao Banxian turned around, lightly touched the corpse's neck with his right hand, pressed the Adam's apple, and with a click, a disgusting stench erupted from the corpse's mouth, and then the corpse let out a long sigh as if it had come to life.

Yao Banxian said: "He has rested in peace, in the future, you will be separated from yin and yang, and he will know that he will not disturb your life anymore." He pinched his fingers with his right hand, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Do you know that one of your ancestors died a strange death, and the trouble occurred in the throat?" ”

Zhang Wannian responded: "The half-immortal fruit is really a clever calculation......

As he spoke, the full moon had gradually sunk into the clouds, and the surroundings dimmed, and suddenly a miasma gushed out from the depths of the dense forest, and a team of kisses wore red robes, and about 20 men and women walked out of the forest with gongs and drums, and the four people in the middle also carried a big red sedan chair, and they came along the path to the mountain......

Zhang Wannian was surprised: "There is still a kissing team in the middle of the night in this wilderness? ”

When the pick-up team got closer, they saw a group of people walking, their bodies were half transparent, like ribbons floating in the wind, their faces were pale, and their lips were crimson.

Yao Banxian said in a low voice: "Everyone be careful, we have met a ghost kiss, here there is a lot of yin qi, yin and yang are out of balance and miasma, everyone hold your breath and listen to my orders." ”

Yao Banxian used a gratitude stick to draw an "isolation charm" around the group, and there were words in his mouth: "Yin has a way, yang has a way, ghosts have a way, people have a way, demons have a way, and gods have a way, each does its own way, does not interfere with each other, yin and yang are coordinated, each is well, and you are so angry, Tai Chi is burning, if I disturb the way, I will ......definitely detour the road."

The "ghost kissing" team failed to cross the "isolation charm", they bypassed Yao Banxian and the others, and were drifting towards the wild grave pile in the mountain behind Longgu Town.

Floating dozens of meters away, the baby in the old man's arms suddenly cried, and the cry resounded through the night sky, seeing the two red-robed men in the "ghost kissing" team holding the "lock chain" and rushing straight towards Yao Banxian and others......

The old man shouted: "Don't pretend to be a ghost, scare my grandson, something will come at me......" Although he puffed up his strength to say this, he also had no bottom in his heart.

Yao Banxian clenched the gratitude stick in his right hand and was ready to face the battle.

At this time, the full moon poked its head out of the clouds, and the surroundings became bright again, and the "ghost kissing" team gradually disappeared into the moonlight. The baby's crying also stopped.

A few crows came out of nowhere and perched on the branches of dead trees.

Yao Banxian looked at the sky, it was already the second watch, and said: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, bury the body on the spot and leave quickly."

Zhang Wannian hesitated a little and said: "The fourth uncle has had a bad life since he was a child, and he can't be at peace even if he dies, whether he can find a feng shui treasure to bury him." ”

Yao Banxian persuaded: "Blessed land and wait for blessed people, sit on the ground and wait for flowering, since he has chosen this place, let him rest here in peace, don't commit a big taboo......"

Yao Banxian took out a thumb-sized gourd bottle from his waist, and the mouth of the bottle was connected to the corpse water flowing from the corner of the corpse's mouth, and read, "Rest in peace, go to your Elysium and enjoy happiness." ”

Zhang Wannian had no other way, and ordered his entourage to bury the body of his fourth uncle under a dead tree.

Everyone came to the Fengmu Pavilion near the "Leopard Head Shop" in the town to rest, and Zhang Wannian and Yao Banxian talked about their ancestors.
