"Think about it carefully, if this kind of evil thing really had earth-shattering skills, it would have either made a great reputation a long time ago, or it should have done great things elsewhere, if it was really fierce and evil, it would have been taken away by the gods a long time ago, or it should have eaten people a long time ago, how could it hide in your mansion, half deceit, half scared and half exchanged, let you provide for him, give him incense and blood food, and be so frightened by Lao Liaogong's words that he didn't dare to come out?" The Taoist asked them, "If this is the case, why should you be so afraid?" ”

"Immortal Master means ......"

"If it is really a great demon and evil thing, it is not so easy to come across, and they will never dare to come to the city easily. If you really had to meet it, you would have died a long time ago. Most of the things that can be encountered in the city are just small demons that are not in the climate. Song You was patient and said seriously and sincerely, "People often think that demons and evil are invincible, but in fact, these goblins and evil things are not so powerful. Ordinary cats, dogs, and hares have just become fine, and they can still be killed with a stick. ”

When the Liao family heard this, they were already thoughtful.

The girl next to her also nodded repeatedly.

She's the cat, and she has a voice.

But when the cat gets stronger, it's not going to work.

For example, Sanhua Niangniang.

"Whether it's a demon or an evil thing, the reason why you dare to be unscrupulous in the city is that in my opinion, there are two magic weapons."

"Which two?"

"One is that people are afraid of them, and when they see them, they are afraid and dare not fight them. The second is that people don't know about them, they don't know what they are, and what they do. But in fact, the vast majority of demons and evil creatures are not necessarily more powerful than people, nor are they smarter. Song You paused, "If people are not afraid of them, they will be half weaker, and even many demons and ghosts are afraid of those who are bold." And if people are willing to use their brains to understand what they are and what their weaknesses are, they will be seven or eight points weaker. Even here, the demons and demons have been defeated. ”

"Immortal masters, I've never heard of it."

The man surnamed Liao opened his eyes wide, feeling strange and shocked, but he remembered some ancient books he had read, and remembered the stories of those who defeated demons and ghosts with people, and felt reasonable.

"It's just the truth." Song You said with a smile, "It's like the golden toad, whether you put it back in the box under the root of the tree and bury it, put it in the fire and melt it, or take it to the palace temple earlier, you can destroy it, but it's just a waste of time." ”

"So ......"

Several members of the Liao family looked at each other, and then the middle-aged man who spoke first arched his hand and said:

"What is the Immortal Master's plan?"

"I only advise you to treat it as a human being."

"Think you're human?"

"Exactly."

Song You stood at the door of the house and knew that there were people eavesdropping on the left and right neighbors, and he didn't care, neither went into the yard, nor deliberately lowered his voice, but said as usual:

"You must know that there are very few evil things that are wiser than men. They have strengths, they are short, they have needs, they have fears. You just think of it as a human being, think about what it is capable of, where it is hiding, be fully prepared, and catch it. ”

"Where to hide......

"Exactly." Song You nodded and said, "That demon is either the golden toad who has attained the Tao, or he is attached to the golden toad statue, and it is impossible to disappear out of thin air, or he hides somewhere in the house, or he uses some kind of trick to hide his body." Since it still allows you to make offerings and taste the incense, blood and food, there will finally be a time for you to show up and enjoy it. ”

When everyone heard this, they all felt reasonable.

It's just that they still look at each other, and their hearts are worried.

"I suggest that after you go back, you should first look for it in the house, if you can't find it, then hide in the incense case and wait for it, for fear that it will be invisible, you can sprinkle a layer of fine ash on the ground. If you are afraid that you will not be able to capture it, you can spend money to hire a few warriors, or you can call a distant relative who is on an errand in the yamen. Remember that during the whole process, everyone must not be a little timid, not hesitate in the slightest, and have a clear mind, and only one thought is to catch it out, crush the bones and scatter ashes, so that many evil methods will not work for you. ”

"What the immortal master said, we will write it down, but if that evil thing is so powerful, what should I do if I can't hold it?"

"Now that you have all found it here, naturally you can't let you get into danger easily." Song You paused, "Originally, there was a bamboo cane that was easy to use, and some time ago it was also lent to the people of the Li family to exorcise evil spirits and subdue demons, but it was borrowed by a reckless man in recent days, and it has not been returned yet." However, a few are also blessed, the children around her are strong, powerful, and good at eliminating demons, if she follows, she will be foolproof. ”

Several people hurriedly turned their heads and looked at Song You's side.

But I saw that the girl was holding a bucket in one hand and a rod in the other, and she looked white and clean, and she was extremely delicate, but she had a serious face, stood straight, and turned her head to stare at them.

"This ......"

"Don't underestimate my Sanhua Niangniang. When Sanhua Niangniang was in Changjing, she was famous for her skill in catching ghosts and eliminating demons, and many nobles in the court invited her to the house. ”

"Absolutely not!"

Several members of the Liao family immediately waved their hands again and again, and then bowed their hands to Sanhua Niangniang: "Then there will be labor...... There is a ...... to work."

"My name is Sanhua Niangniang!"

"Then there will be Lao Sanhua Niangniang."

“！”

The little girl looked serious and didn't say much, but finally walked forward with the bucket, took out the key, opened the door, and walked in.

"Wait a minute."

Song You said to a few people behind him, and then followed in.

Sanhua Niangniang first walked back to the stove house, put the two fish into the basin, and scooped the water to scrub the wooden bucket, and put the fishing rod away, and then took out the money from her arms to sell the fish.

"You put the money away, Sanhua Niangniang is going to make a lot of money."

"Sanhua Niangniang should remember that protection is the main thing, supplemented by catching evil. If they can catch it themselves, let them catch it themselves, if they are stupid, teach them, help them, and if they can't catch it, then the three flower girls will go out. ”

"Why?"

"Yangzhou has been rich for a long time, we should also go, and we must teach them how to deal with demons."

"yes......"

The little girl nodded, as if she understood, but quickly frowned: "Can you make a lot of money like this?" ”

"Let it be." Song You paused for a moment, and then said, "They seem to open a bookstore, haven't Sanhua Niangniang's travelogues been written, if you want to spread it to the world, maybe you can ask them to help." ”

"yes......"

"It's going to trouble Sanhua Niangniang."

"You're welcome!"

"Go ahead."

Song You rubbed her head.

The little girl did not dodge or dodge, but her expression was serious, and she waited patiently for him to touch it, then put on her coat and turned around and walked out.

Everyone in the Liao family respectfully took her home.

The swallow still followed.

Song You was not in a hurry, cutting fish and cooking rice.

I have to eat a home-cooked fish today.

……

The Liao family's house is not small, and it is now the third generation, but the Liao family does not dare to stay at home today, but comes to the banyan tree at the entrance of the alley and gathers into a group to discuss.

The girl stood alone beside her, carrying a blanket and facing the direction of the Liao family's house, constantly sniffing her nose.

There is the smell of incense, and there is also the smell of evil spirits.

If Sanhua Niangniang passes, following these tastes, she will be able to find out the evil thing, and if the time is early, she may be able to go back to dinner.

And yet now......

The girl rolled her eyes and squinted at the group next to her.

Most of the time I can't catch up.

The sound of discussion reached her ears.

The middle-aged man was talking in detail about how he met the Liao family today, how he listened to him tell about last night's incident, what evil happened to the Li family in Dongcheng, how to deal with it, and how his party went to ask the immortal master in Dongcheng and how the immortal master told it.

Then he began to convince the crowd again.

The little girl stood in place, unhurried or impatient, at most tilting her head and twisting from side to side, looking around.

In late spring and early summer, the sky at dusk is already very lively, and there are many flying insects in addition to the clouds that are constantly changing shapes and painted with gold edges by the sun.

The bats also came out, and the swallows also returned.

Sanhua Niangniang really wants to turn back into a cat, find a high place, and when a bat or swallow flies past her, she jumps up and grabs it.

Oh, that's your own swallow.

That's fine.

Sanhua Niangniang turned her head to look at the group of people around her.

The eyes of this group of people gradually changed from fear and apprehension to fierce and resolute, especially those old people, who seemed to have the ruthlessness to fight with demons and ghosts, and that ruthlessness, even Sanhua Niangniang couldn't help but muttered a little when she saw it.

Finally someone approached her.

"Sanhua Niangniang ......"

The middle-aged man who came to them in the afternoon bowed to her: "We have decided, let's go back to the house and find out that thing!" ”

"Okay!" The little girl nodded, "Sanhua Niangniang will protect you!" ”

"Thank you, Sanhua Niang."

"Go ahead!"

"Yes......"

Several people took the lead, followed by the girl.

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

The girl was still carrying the blanket, sniffing, turning her head to look left and right, and quickly withdrew her gaze, did not say anything, but as soon as she turned her head, she jumped on the courtyard wall and sat down.

When everyone saw this, they were all shocked.

"Let's look for it."

The girl just said with a serious expression.

"Do as you were told!"

As soon as the crowd closed the door, it was a bustle.

A family of more than 20 people, plus some close relatives and distant relatives, at least dozens of people, first found flour from the stove house, sprinkled a thin layer in the house, and then two or three people formed a team, sticking sticks and knives in their hands, playing torches, and searched around the house.

The house was inside and out, up and down, all of them were carefully rummaged, even the water tank had to be moved to see, and the beams had to climb up to touch a handful of dust.

Whenever I was nervous, I saw the small figure on the courtyard wall, and my heart was much calmer.

The commotion was so loud that the neighbors couldn't help but come over and ask curiously.

When I heard that I was looking for demons, I was shocked.
