Song You walked straight to the stove house, scooped a basin of water with a melon scoop, threw the two fish into it and raised them, and then wiped his hands and walked out, and asked a group of people, "Do you know where that person is now?" ”

"I don't know where now, but every night when it is dark, he will wander around the neighborhood, and in the middle of the night he will come to my door."

"Oh? Then he was bold. ”

"I'm afraid it's ...... who came to ask for our yang energy"

"Have you tried to deal with him?"

"Naturally tried. I've tried everything. The man surnamed Li said with a bitter face, "I went to the temple to burn incense and invited jade pendants, went to the temple to ask for talismans, called witches and warlocks, and reported to officials." ”

"Does it work?"

"Some are useful, some are useless, but even if they do, they are not of great use."

"I see." Song You nodded, thoughtful, "How does the government do it?" ”

"The government sent a captor to arrest him, but the demon ran fast, and he could fly the eaves and walk the wall, and there was no shadow after a wall, and ordinary trappers couldn't catch up with him at all. Even when a stick and ruler hit him, he didn't feel pain, he wasn't human at all. ”

"It sounds like this person doesn't have much ability except for abdominal pain and this Suoyang plaster......"

"Is there a way sir can do it?"

"Don't rush."

Song You sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, thought about it, looked up at them and asked, "Are all those who have fallen for the evil law here?" ”

"There are also a few elders who are not dexterous enough and are still at home. Some of the neighbors didn't follow. Some of the neighbors heard about us and endured the abdominal pain and did not apply the plaster. ”

"I see."

Song You thought about it again before saying: "As the saying goes, the bell must be tied to the bell, not to mention that this evil method is connected with your eyes, it is a matter of eyesight, and you must not act rashly." ”

"What should I do?"

"There is a way to make it impossible for the demon to use this plaster spell to assassinate you, but to reassure you. But in order to completely dismantle it, we have to grasp it and ask it for a solution. Song You said, sitting on the stone bench and looking up at them one by one, "But I don't know if you have the courage to fight against this demon?" ”

"Huh?"

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked and looked at each other.

"This ......"

"This ......"

"Fighting demons?"

"That's a demon, how can we be mortals like mere mortals, and we don't know how to fight demons?"

The people were in a panic and frightened.

"Your lord's words are wrong. Demons and evil spirits may not be stronger than people, and evil ghosts are also afraid of the guts, sometimes demons and evil ghosts defeat people, but they just take advantage of their own strengths to hit people's shortcomings, and people dare not fight back. Song You looked at everyone with a smile, "Since in the face of capture, the demon only dares to escape, it means that it is nothing more than that, if you bring up the courage, gather the young and strong, invite the bold warriors of the rivers and lakes, and find some way to block its inevitable path, it may not be impossible to take it down." ”

"This ...... In case ......"

"I'm afraid that the demon will use the plaster on the top of the king's head to assassinate you, but if you just cut it off, what are you afraid of?"

"Can't the gentleman do it himself?"

"I've got to cook the next night." Song You laughed twice, "After all, this world is the world of people, and the reason why people win the world is not all because of the immortals in the sky and the cultivators on the earth. You are no worse than the Yamen Capture, even if you lose your hand, at most you will be escaped by him. Yangdu has really been peaceful for a long time, if it were in other places where the people are fierce, such demons must have been killed a long time ago. ”

“……”

The crowd looked at each other again.

After all, most of the people who came to find Song You today were young people, young and vigorous, although Song You's few words were indifferent, they aroused their hearts, and their eyes gradually became resolute and fierce.

"I'm willing to fight!"

The man surnamed Li was really the most courageous, and he took the lead in standing up and arching his hand, and then asked: "But what we saw with our own eyes that day, the trapper stick and iron ruler hit him, it was like hitting a rice bag, not only did he not have any injuries at all, but he didn't even feel pain, so demonic, what trick does Mr. have to give us?" ”

"Just because the stick can't be beaten doesn't mean the sword can't be pierced." Song You smiled slightly, his gaze still swept over everyone, and then he said, "You can also borrow an object from you to get rid of the demons." ”

"What is it?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Song You.

I saw the Taoist stretch out his hand at will-

"Woo woo woo ......"

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind.

It sounds like the sound of sticks dancing and splitting the air.

Everyone followed the sound, and saw a stick fly out of the back room, spinning in the air, and quickly flew into the courtyard.

"Smack......

The stick fell steadily into the hands of the Taoist.

Everyone immediately opened their eyes.

Just after listening to the words of the Taoist, he knew that he was probably a real master, but now when he saw this random hand, he knew that he couldn't leave!

In the past, whether it was going to the palace temple to pray for God and Buddha, to meet the masters, or to find witches, warlocks, folk gentlemen, some engaged in some bells and whistles, mysterious and mysterious cutscenes, some also played some tricks of shaking talismans to ignite the paper to fly to the sky, and some just said some bluffing words, where is there any such ability to reach out and summon sticks from the house to be simple and real?

When I looked down, I realized that it was not a stick, but a bamboo cane.

I saw that most of this bamboo cane was half a person high, the bamboo joints were neat and tidy, and the whole body was smooth and crystalline, verdant and jade, and it was not ordinary at a glance.

"This is a bamboo cane used to walk the world down, which can strike demons and evil spirits, take it and put it in the hands of a brave and strong martial artist, and when you see the demon, hit it with a rod, and you will fall down with a blow. If you can't take down the demon, you can protect yourself with a rod, and you can also be safe. ”

"Sir, do you dare to pack tickets?"

Someone asked uncertainly, cautiously.

"Haha......"

But he only heard the Taoist laugh twice, persuaded them to rest assured, and handed over the bamboo cane.

The man surnamed Li hurriedly took it respectfully.

At this time, at most, there was still some apprehension in my heart, but I didn't have much doubt about the words of the Taoist. Everyone looked at each other again, only to feel more and more angry in their hearts.

"I know a few heroes!"

"I know one, too!"

"Gotta beat him to death!"

“……”

Everyone gritted their teeth and discussed.

But I saw that the Taoist stood up again, went to the stove house to scoop a basin of water, stretched out his hand a little, and sprinkled spiritual light, which is completely different from those who burn talismans and turn water, chant scriptures and dance gods.

"Take this ladle of water and drink it. Drink only one sip per person, and drinking too much is harmful. If you can't finish drinking, you will take it back and distribute it to your family and neighbors. If you have a plaster, you can block the evil law, and if you don't have a plaster, you can also avoid abdominal pain. Song You handed it to the man surnamed Li, "Give it to the foot." ”

“……”

The man surnamed Li hurriedly took it carefully, and a feeling of being valued and affirmed spontaneously arose: "Sir, don't worry, leave it to me!" ”

"Wait for the good news."

"I'll say goodbye!"

The man surnamed Li carefully served the water, first drank it himself, only to feel that it was extraordinarily sweet, and there was no other taste, so he handed it over to several other people to drink, and waited until the water level was lowered and it was not easy to spill before leaving.

But he was still cautious, moving his steps.

“……”

Song You shook his head, retracted his gaze, and looked up at the swallows on the roof:

"Please help me take a look."

"Plop Plop ......"

The swallow flapped its wings and flew over.

"Hmmm......"

Song You walked slowly to the stove house, took out two fish from the basin, took out a kitchen knife, stunned them with two knives, scraped the scales, and opened the intestines.

It was getting dark.

"Squeak~"

The pillar of his house came back with an empty bucket.

"Hmm......"

The cat sniffed, looked left and right, walked straight to the stove house with the bucket, stood at the door, looked at the Taoist who was still cleaning up the fish, and asked suspiciously:

"Taoist, why haven't you cooked yet? Did you sleep again? ”

"Delayed for a while."

"Why is there a smell of other people in the yard?"

"Someone just came looking for it, and it was delayed." Song You's hands kept moving, and he turned his head to look at his child, "Sanhua Niangniang's fish was sold out so quickly?" ”

"Those shops that sell rice see that Sanhua Niangniang is a villain, and the fish they catch are good, and they like to buy Sanhua Niangniang's fish."

"It must be the fish caught by Sanhua Niangniang that is more delicious."

"It's all the same!"

The little girl couldn't help but look at him worriedly, as if she felt that her Taoist priest was getting more and more stupid.

"That's the three flower girls are cuter."

"Hmm......"

"Since Sanhua Niangniang is back, please go to the yard for me to pick a handful of sour eggplants, a few chili peppers, and a handful of green onions."

"Okay!"

The girl stepped into the stove house, put down the bucket and walked out.

Song You patiently sliced the mullet into slices, striving for each slice to be the same thickness and size, and then put on a pulp, and chopped the fish bones into small pieces.

When the fire is burned, the sour eggplant is fried with lard, just add ginger to remove the smell, and then add fish bones to boil slowly, it is a pot of sour soup with rich flavor and golden red color. Adjust the taste, and then carefully throw the mullet fillets into it piece by piece, just roll it around, turn it snow-white, and sprinkle it with green onions, it is a pot of sour and appetizing mullet fillets in sour soup.

Sanhua Niangniang's little crucian carp was only as wide as two fingers, but Song You didn't dare to fool him.

It must be scraped and dissected, boiled with green onions and ginger, then covered with shallots and other seasonings, and then a spoonful of hot oil with an iron spoon is handed to the burning lady of the three flowers, and she is asked to put it into the stove to heat.

"Snort......"

Hot oil splashes on the noodles, and there is a puff of white smoke.

The aroma is immediately aroused.

It's a small version of the onion crucian carp.

The little girl had a burning stick in her hand, but she stood in front of the stove, her head tilted and stared at his movements without blinking.

"The people take food as the sky, diet is life, there is no head in the front, there is no tail in the back, and there is no end to this way."

"Cats too!"

"Flame-out ......"

"Whew!"

The girl blew into the stove, no matter how strong the flame burned in the stove just now, she said that it would be extinguished, and there was really no spark left.

Two figures, one big and one small, each carrying a plate of food, walked into the courtyard. It was already dark, and the Taoist went to serve the cold rice left over from noon, and the Taoist went to get a lamp to light it.

The dark environment made Sanhua Niangniang worry that the Taoist priest could not see the food, even if there was a lamp, it was not as good as the daytime, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart for a while, this Taoist priest was getting lazier and lazier in cooking. But I don't know what I was delayed by today, either in a daze, or sleeping, or else it was something else to spend money.
