The old Taoist priest tried hard to recall: Why is this chain, this bracelet, so familiar?

I remembered: eighty-eight ......

"Miss Fu?"

Fu Yan nodded: "Old Mila, this is my cousin, these two are my friends, and I came to visit you!" ”

Ha, the God of Wealth has come to the door?

As soon as Doudou's eyes turned, the old Taoist priest was in awe, and hurriedly raised his hands, palms up, and ten fingers folded, as if holding a bowl of water.

They were all lifted to the lower abdomen, he paused for a moment, looked at the Taoist robe on his body, changed it to a grip, and changed it to a bow down: "Good believers, please come in!" ”

The other three people didn't care, thinking that the etiquette of a wizard was like this, but Li Ding'an understood: at the beginning, the Taoist priest practiced Miao Wu's Badai hand, which was similar to the Taoist mudra.

Lifting up with both hands is the key to the upper row, which means "to sit down". But halfway through the ceremony, he may feel that something is wrong, and he changed it to the Taoist chief again.

Can you still change your identity back and forth?

Looking at the Taoist robe and lotus crown, Li Dingan couldn't help it: "Old Mila, take the liberty of asking: Are you a Taoist or a witch?" ”

With a wave of the pipa sleeves, several long whiskers were gently raised. The old Taoist priest seemed to be smiling, his expression was indifferent, quite a bit of treasure solemnity, and the meaning of Taoism was natural: "The two religions are cultivated together, and their strengths are combined!" ”

Li Dingan was stunned again: Do you really dare to say it?

"Inside, please!"

A group of people walked inside, and when they entered the inner door, there was a patio, which was very spacious. The top is covered with glass, and there are several rattan chairs underneath. Look at it in all directions: is it really a dual religion?

In the standard courtyard model, there are houses in the south, east, and west, and the two rows on the east and north sides are used for people, and the other two sides are all Dharma halls.

In addition to the witch temple they just entered, there was actually a Taoist altar: one of the three clear and four royal palaces did not fall, and it was neatly placed on the altar.

The one next to it is more: blue-faced fangs, horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, more than 20 bottles of large and small, all of which are ghosts believed in by Miao Wu.

Put so much, can you trust you?

Li Dingan seemed to have a toothache and looked hesitant, but the other three were skeptical. Including Fu Yan: The last time I came with her mother, I just entered the witch temple, and I really didn't know that there was a hole in the back.

Lei Mingzhen and Duan Mu looked at each other, as if asking: Miao Wu can also be a Taoist?

How can it be?

Even the Ming and Qing dynasties, from the imperial court to the magistrates, vigorously promoted Taoism in Miaojiang, and imperceptibly, they did integrate many Taoist cultures into the Miao beliefs, such as the similarity of the rituals of inviting the gods, and the fact that many musical instruments and ritual instruments can be used.

But at the root, Taoism is Taoism, and Miao Wu is Miao Wu, and there is an essential difference.

For example, do you ask Miao Wu to draw a thunder talisman or ask a Taoist priest to raise a cup?

It's not such nonsense......

Surprised, the old Taoist priest made another gesture of please. A few people sat down, the ponytail youth brought a teapot, and one of them made a cup.

"Where did the good believers come from?"

"Capital!"

"Don't know what you want?"

Li Ding'an smiled and pointed to the master knife on Fu Yan's hand bowl and the token on his chest: "I came here to ask the Taoist chief for a few magic weapons to protect himself!" ”

"Witchcraft?"

"No, Dao weapon, it's best to be like this, a treasure weapon that has been consecrated by the ancestor and blessed by several generations of high merit!"

"Shanxin is wrong, this is a witch weapon!"

Okay, what you say......

"Witchcraft is fine, but it needs to be old enough and the mana is deep enough, I don't know if there is a long time here!"

"Yes, there is, but you have to calculate and test for the good faith first, and see if you can get in touch with the magic weapon!"

"What?"

"Count the eight characters, measure the five elements, I don't know which good believer wants to clear the magic weapon!"

Will there be quite a lot?

Li Dingan nodded: "It's me!" ”

"Ask for what?"

"Peace seeks!"

"Please write down the eight characters in the letter."

Li Ding'an picked up the pen and wrote the year, month and day casually, and the old Taoist priest pretended to count it.

But it didn't happen.

Ten fingers pinched back and forth, dazzling, after looking at it for a while, Li Dingan didn't know what he was pinching?

It's not that I don't know each other, but it's too miscellaneous: one second it was still the Taoist's Taiqing Formula, and the next second, it became Miao Wu's retraction technique.

And many of them are specious, and Li Dingan suspects that he improvised them.

There are words in the mouth, and then listen carefully: the sky is clear, the soldiers follow the seal, and they will follow the order...... Well, the five ghost manifestation techniques of the Maoshan faction?

In short: ghost catchers.

Li Ding'an didn't know what to say, so he wanted to ask the old Taoist: How did you get involved in fortune-telling and ghost catching?

Up to now, it is basically certain that this is a two-knife knife: know a little about everything, understand a little, although it is not very profound, but it is more than enough to fool the layman.

Fu Yan said that "there are many believers", it is estimated that this is how it flickered......

It's not good to break it, so you can only watch, and after performing for a few minutes, the old Taoist priest stopped, closed his eyes and pondered, still holding the magic in his hand, as if he was taking a seat.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and sighed leisurely: "I have a treasure to keep the good faith safe...... Akang, go and ask General Tang Cha for an order! ”

Fortunately, it's quite simple, and you can go directly to the theme after the performance, and there is no nonsense to make up.

In the space of relief, the horse-tailed young man entered the altar, and after a short time, he came out with a box.

It's not big, about a slap, the Taoist priest received it in his hand and opened the lid of the box, and when he looked at it again, it was a talisman.

"This talisman was refined by the seventeenth generation of patriarchs I sent for 7749 days, and it has been blessed by nine generations of patriarchs, and the magic power is boundless, which can ensure the safety of the good faith for a lifetime......

Seventeen generations of ancestors have practiced, and they have experienced nine generations?

"The inheritance of the Taoist is so old?"

"Good faith is smiling, and it has been passed on to the poor road, and it is the twenty-sixth generation ......"

Boy...... Even if the generation is only counted as 20 years, the patriarchs of the school must be people from the Ming Dynasty?

As if he was afraid that Li Ding'an would run away, the Taoist priest's movements were very fast, his mouth was still babbling, and he hung the red rope in Li Ding'an's neck with both hands. Then he held the wooden card in his left hand, and pinched a trick with his right hand, and said something in his mouth.

Li Ding'an didn't have time to listen, just stared at the talisman.

The color is a bit dark, the grain is very fine, and it should be peachwood. Look at the runes again: the top is Ziweiyan, that is, the symbol head of the rain, the water, and the ear, and under the head is the transformation of the word "edict", and then the right is the sun, and the left is the month.

In the middle is a piece of Bagua, the right is the sun and the South Dipper, the left is the Taiyin and the North Dipper, and below, there are three runes: in the middle is the general Ding You Tangcha, one of the sixty Jiazi representing the "year", and the left and right are the six Ding Liujia representing the calendar.

The standard Tai Sui charm can be used to seek wealth and keep peace, and even the runes that represent the year, month and day are not wrong, and they are also consistent with the eight-character book written by Li Dingan.

The question is, does it feel like this thing, a little old?

That's right, at least something from the Republic of China or the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China......

Ha ha...... How can it be?

When he asked for peace, he took a Tai Sui talisman, and if he asked for a long time, he took a talisman of the Republic of China. If you look closely, the painting is quite regular and coordinated, without a trace of jerkiness and stagnation, at least it shows that the person who draws the talisman is very skilled, almost in one go.

So it's very strange: you say he's a liar, he takes the real thing, although not as long as eight or nine generations, at least three or four generations still have it.

Say he didn't lie, but the bottle didn't make a sound, half a bottle swayed, and he was fooling around from front to back......

Finally, after he finished chanting and opened his eyes, Li Dingan exhaled: "May I ask the chief, how much is the donation?" ”

The old Taoist priest made another joke: "Five thousand is not too little, eight thousand is not too much, it all depends on fate!" ”

It's all based on fate, and you still clearly mark the price?

originally thought that the old Taoist priest would be ruthless and ask for thirty or fifty thousand, but it was only a few thousand?

Of course, if you count it according to cultural relics, five hundred is too expensive...... But that's all about it.

I can't bear the child's ......

Li Dingan didn't hesitate, opened his backpack and took out a whole stack and put it on the coffee table: "A little heart!" ”

And gave an extra two thousand?

Looks like he's rich......

The old Taoist priest was calm, just nodded, and the pony-tailed young man walked over, held up the money with both hands, and stuffed it into the merit box next to him.

"Guys, tea, please!"

"Thank you, Chief!"

Lao Dao picked up the teacup and took a slow sip. After a little hesitation, it seemed that he wanted to speak and stopped: "Good faith in the near future, can everything go smoothly?" ”

Li Dingan sighed secretly: It's coming!

Let's just say that why did you fool around with it almost perfunctory, and in the end it was only a few thousand, it turned out to be just an appetizer, and I tried the weight first?

Don't doubt it, the people who do this are all psychology experts, and serious people will definitely not ask for talismans, and it is a bit troublesome to come here. So I'm not afraid that you won't take the bait, I'm afraid that you won't come in.

As long as you dare to step into this threshold, you can put your information in a few words.

Next, just wait for the knife.

The words were handed over, and they must be stopped, and Li Dingan opened his mouth to come:

"Don't hide it, it's really not smooth! So I specially came from the capital, first to Jiuhua Mountain, and then to Longhu Mountain. The wish has been promised, the Dharma has been done, and the charm has been prayed......

Listening to Mr. Fu and Mr. Zhang (Fu Yan's parents) mention it, they said that the long magic weapon is very effective, so they came here...... If there are magic weapons refined by the previous generation of ancestors and have profound willingness, you can ask for a few more, and the rest will be forgotten......"

Is this unfortunate?

If nothing else, this is the most thing......

The Taoist priest nodded, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Ding'an: "I have sincerity, even if I build a Taoist temple for the Taoist, but the magic weapon must be a true magic weapon, and the first teacher must be the true first teacher......"

"The good faith is joking, the poor road has been passed down from generation to generation......"

"Can I see it for myself?"

If you look at it yourself, will you watch it?

Li Ding'an is a little strong, but the Taoist priest is not angry but happy: Aren't the rich second generation like this?

Not to mention anything else, he knows the situation in Miss Fu's family very clearly, this girl is not the kind of character of a good girl, but this will be honest?

Doesn't it mean that this one is bigger and richer?

"Do you want to ask for a witch weapon or a Taoist weapon?"

"Everything!"

The old Taoist priest was even more determined, and Shi Shiran got up: "Several, please!" ”

"Good!"

Li Dingan nodded, deliberately a few steps behind.

Duan Mu and Lei Ming really comprehended, and the more they walked, the slower they went.

"Just look at it, I don't nod, don't buy anything!"

"Is this talisman new?"

"The old one, but at most fifty or sixty years old, but it is indeed carved by a Taoist priest!"

"That's a half-truth?"

Lei Mingzhen pointed to the back of the Taoist priest, "What about this old way?" ”

"I know a little bit about witchcraft and Taoism, but I don't know a lot about it!"

"Looks pretty professional, huh?"

"If I can show you, where did you get such a big show?"

That's right.

This courtyard alone covers an area of nearly 1,000 square meters, not only in the city center, but also in the ancient house, which is certainly not cheap.

A few people whispered, followed the old Taoist priest into the altar with the statue of the Taoist god, and just stepped over the threshold, Li Ding'an's eyes narrowed.

There were a lot of talismans, hanging all over the four walls, and there were thousands of them.

Under the altar, there are more than a dozen offering tables, on which are placed a lot of spirit cards, roughly counted, nearly hundreds.

Fu Yan rolled her eyes: "What is this?" ”

"It's all the Patriarch Spiritual Position!"

The Taoist priest made a gesture, quite a little complacent, "On the wall are the talismans refined by the ancestors of the past dynasties, and the earliest ones have been incense for more than 400 years!" ”

I really dare to say: how many years has your house been built?

The three of them also saluted, Li Dingan glanced at it carefully, and couldn't help but be stunned.

There are several pieces, and it looks like it has been for a few years, and I dare not say for four or five hundred years, but at least it is also the early morning and middle period.

Good guys, has it really been passed down for twenty-six generations? (End of chapter)
