Chapter 14 First Order Receipt
Luo Zhutou will come back early today.
Mrs. Wang was asking him if he had gone to visit the neighbors, and this mother-in-law was very gossipy, which also reminded Luo Zhutou of the group of people in the afternoon.
There was really no other way to do it today, so in the afternoon he brought some gifts and went to visit the new neighbor whom his wife said was becoming more and more elegant. But he stood at the door and knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response from inside, only a few cat meows.
On the contrary, when he left, he met several foreign tea merchants and two dart masters, carrying gifts brought by his hometown, and he also went to visit the little gentleman.
After asking each other, Luo Zhutou knew-
The little gentleman who moved in opposite his house turned out to be the master who casually cut off the fog ghost who had been doing evil for months when he passed by Liangshui Pass!
The fog ghost made trouble in Jinyang Road, and it was about to go to the city gate to make a notice, but now that it has been removed, the story has already spread all over the sky in Yidu. In particular, Nanhua County invited a master but failed to get rid of it, and it was destroyed by a passing master, which made people talk about it with relish.
But I didn't expect such a master to be by my side.
has the ability to cut off fog ghosts, although Luo Zhutou still feels that he may not be able to help himself, but he is already worthy of his respect.
Think about the things you prepared today, a packet of brown sugar, a pot of good wine, it is a good gift to visit relatives and friends this year, ordinary people do not necessarily have this financial resources, but compared to the things brought by those tea merchants, it seems to be less thoughtful.
"I'll pay a generous gift tomorrow and visit again."
Luo Zhutou said to his wife, but he heard the faint singing voice from the opposite yard, which was the purest human voice, and he felt panicked at first when he heard it, but after listening to it for a long time, he felt that he sang better than those singers in Goolan Vashe.
I wonder if the little gentleman has returned home at this time, and if he has returned home, what is he doing now? Bento really doesn't care about the ghosts in the house?
……
Song You cleaned the stone table in the courtyard, and took advantage of the cool evening to have dinner in the courtyard.
Today, it is rare to be extravagant, steamed a bowl of white rice, I don't know what's going on, the rice of this era has a strong aroma of rice as soon as it is steamed, it is a fragrance that can be smelled by one or two households, and the appetite is shocked when you smell it. Song You took a bowl, took another plate, sandwiched some meat for the Sanhua cat, and also served it with a small lump of rice, and one person and one cat spent time quietly at dusk.
There are still people swaying in the courtyard, and there are ghosts singing.
One man and one cat seem to not know.
"Is it delicious? Sanhua Niangniang. ”
"Delicious."
"That's good."
Song You sandwiched a slice of white rice under the meat, and there was a familiar taste between his lips and teeth, and he also smiled.
The fireworks in the world are the poetry of mortals, and it is easiest to be satisfied when they are full of wine and food, and with the company of Sanhua Niangniang, he does not feel lonely when he lives here alone, and even he has a feeling that even if he lives here for a long time.
After dinner, he sat and savored the taste for a while, and stayed a little late at night, so Song You lit the oil lamp, tried the new pen, and began to draw talismans.
Fulongguan is not famous for its talismans, and several talismans of the Song Dynasty will also be obtained by the masters of the past dynasties when they traveled around the world.
The most common on the market, and it is also the talisman that people often ask for when they go to the palace and temple, there are no more than two kinds, one is to ward off evil spirits and avoid ghosts, and the other is to keep peace.
There are several talismans that rely on spiritual power to drive away evil spirits and avoid ghosts. As for the talisman to keep peace, it is usually necessary to communicate with the gods and use the power of their respective gods, and although there are a large number of Taoist statues in the Fulongguan, they are only dusted up for them on the 23rd day of the lunar month every year, and their respect for them is limited, so the Taoists of Fulongguan usually do not use this kind of talisman.
Song You only draws the Yin Talisman today.
This kind of talisman is dedicated to driving away ghosts.
For a while, the spiritual power blew, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and the fire beans of the oil lamp trembled, making the light and shadow in the courtyard uncertain.
The three-flowered cat was very curious, and at first looked up on the ground, so that it was really not clear to see, so he simply jumped on the stone table and took a closer look.
Fortunately, it looks at it and doesn't bother Song You.
A person and a cat seem to have a natural tacit understanding.
It wasn't until he drew five pictures in a row that Song You stopped.
Carefully fold it, and one of them is strung with twine and hung at the door of the bedroom, but it is difficult for the female ghost to enter. The other rooms will not be hung, since it is said that they will live in peace without disturbing each other, they should also leave more space for others to move.
"I'm sorry."
Song You gave a salute in the direction of the bamboo forest.
Looking up, the sky is full of stars, the surrounding neighbors have long since rested, and the movement of Chunming Street in the distance cannot be transmitted here, and the night is very quiet.
"It seems to be in the middle of the summer."
"What's the heat?"
"It's just going to get cold."
"Oh......"
"Sleep, Sanhua Niang."
"Good ......"
The three-flowered cat followed him into the house and went to bed.
These days, Song You and Sanhua Niangniang are gradually getting acquainted. Although they met in Pingshui, they could rely on each other for a period of time, Song You has always treated it sincerely, and Sanhua Cat does not have so many flowery intestines, so long the two sides also have some feelings.
Cats like warmth and often sleep next to him secretly.
……
Early the next morning, the rooster still reported the dawn.
Song You got up earlier, put on his clothes and meditated in the courtyard, judging only by his physical feelings, today was much cooler than the early morning of the day he first came.
The yellow plum trees in the courtyard have begun to lose their leaves.
When the wind blew, Song You spread it casually, and just picked up a yellow leaf in his hand.
"Dealing with the ...... of the Summer"
The first summer is also the last summer. It means that the heat is beginning to dissipate, and the unbearable heat is coming to an end, and it is beginning to enter the process of cooling.
Song You threw away the yellow leaves in his hand and continued to close his eyes.
The spiritual power of the early morning was the clearest and thickest, and it seemed to surround him like a life, hooking up a green light, causing a few more plum leaves to fall on his head.
This is also the time when the city awakens.
I only heard people outside carrying vegetables and selling them along the street, as well as those selling firewood and water, shouting and bargaining. Song You didn't feel noisy, he just felt that he heard that the lives of the people in this era were closely related.
But at this moment, there was a knock at the door.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
“……”
Song You opened his eyes, got up and went to open the door.
Standing outside the door were the merchants surnamed Li, or the two dart masters from the last time, each carrying something in their hands.
"I've seen you, sir."
"Please come in."
"Come early in the morning, if there is anything to disturb, please Mr. Haihan." The merchant surnamed Li hurriedly said, "I really want to come to visit Mr. Xie, so I asked from my brother-in-law where Mr. lives now, if there is anything inappropriate......
"You're welcome, come in."
Song You was really not used to such a lot of courtesy, so he only greeted everyone in the courtyard.
The group was a little apprehensive and looked at each other.
I have heard from Wang Ji that this courtyard is haunted, and it has been rented several times in the past few years, and all of them were withdrawn the next day.
Thinking that it was broad daylight after all, there were many people, and besides, there was a gentleman here, and the group of talents stepped into the small courtyard one after another.
But as soon as I entered the door, I didn't feel the eerie feeling of the ghost house in my imagination, but saw that the yard was cleaned up, and there was a breeze from nowhere lingering in the courtyard, blowing off the plum leaves and swaying in the wind.
It's really cooler in this courtyard than outside.
But this kind of coolness is not uncomfortable, creepy or goosebumps, but a comfortable and clean coolness, like a full sleep and pushing the door out just to feel the dampness and coolness of the morning, and like the sultry dusk washing away the heat and coming out of the evening breeze.
Everyone looked at each other again, and each read the surprise in the other's eyes, and then hurriedly stepped forward, and said words of thanks to the gentleman for saving his life.
Most of the gifts brought by these people are home-made bacon and sausages and home-made good tea, which are full of heart.
"You're welcome."
Song You said in his mouth, but he didn't twist it, and he didn't refuse.
A pile of gifts were all laid out on the stone table.
When everyone saw this, they were not much more relaxed.
Immediately, I saw the three-flowered cat jumping on the stone table, as if attracted by the smell of bacon and sausage, and it seemed to be habitually inspecting strange items that broke into the territory, and sniffed left and right before approaching a pile of gifts, but no one went to catch it.
"Mr. and the cat are companions, it's really Yaxing."
The merchant surnamed Li looked at Sanhua Niangniang with a smile, but the picture he recalled in his mind was the picture of the cat learning to meet him outside the city that day.
Thinking about it, Mr. was still single when he walked to Liangshui Ao, and he had a cat when he walked to Yidu, and it was impossible to think that it was a wild cat picked up casually in the mountains.
So even in the face of this cat, his tone was extremely polite: "It's good to have a cat with you, and Mr. will not be so lonely when he travels the world." ”
"That's what I thought too."
"This cat follows Mr., and it is also its creation."
"Compared to me being with it, but I need it to accompany me more, it's hard to say whose creation."
"This ......"
The merchant surnamed Li didn't notice anything at first, but the more he thought about it, the better it became.
It can only be said that Mr. is really extraordinary.
After chatting like this for a while, the merchant surnamed Li suddenly caught a glimpse of the yellow charm hanging at the door of Song You's bedroom, and couldn't help but be overjoyed when he thought of the second purpose for himself and the others to come.
"Sir knows how to make talismans?"
"There are several exorcism talismans."
"Don't hide it from Mr., I wait for the hard work of the business to walk in the mountains all the year round, it is inevitable to meet ghosts on the night road, and meet demons on the mountain road, I have also found the temple palace of Wushan to ask for one or two talismans to keep safe, but unfortunately, some are simply useless, although some are useful, but they can only be used as a reminder, I also want to ask for a paper to exorcise evil spirits and avoid ghosts here when I came today." A merchant surnamed Li said, "If I can get my wish, I am grateful." ”
"You don't have to be so polite."
This is one of the businesses of Fulongguan.
Song You immediately took out a few talismans drawn last night, and if it was not enough, he spread out the jute paper, summoned cinnabar, and drew the pen.
Everyone was immediately shocked—
Although they don't see the spiritual power wandering away and sealing in the cinnabar, they can also see the wind in the pen, the plum leaves are faintly blowing, and sometimes some visions can be seen when they go to the palace and temple to ask for charms, but how can it be obvious this time?
For a while, everyone's hearts were settled.
Until each person divided two sheets, put them away closely, and his courage increased for a while, and he had the illusion that he was not afraid of seeing the fog ghost again.
"The one folded into a triangle is a yin charm, which can be used to ward off yin ghosts. The block is a demon exorcism talisman that can drive away demons. The yin charm can not drive away demons, the demon exorcism charm can not drive away ghosts, different charms have different effects, please note it down. ”
"Remember."
Thinking that everyone brought Eli Lilly, Song You originally planned not to take the money, but he couldn't bear the sincerity of everyone, so everyone still gave some broken silver.
It can be regarded as the first single receipt.
Finally sending the group away, Song You just returned to the courtyard and sat cross-legged for a while, feeling the spiritual rhyme of the season and condensing spiritual power, when he heard another knock on the door.
I think it's my neighbor this time.
"Alas......"
Disturb my cultivation.
