Chapter 67: What is the Way?
Qingxuguan is famous, but the scale is not large.
After the mountain gate Lingguan Palace, facing the Sanqing Palace, there is a small hall in each of the wings on both sides, in addition to the kitchen and residence.
The cement on the ground in the courtyard is painted with a huge yin and yang gossip diagram.
In the center of the picture is a half-human-high incense burner.
The tripod was full of incense ash, and there was sandalwood with the thickness of three arms, which had just burned to half.
It was still early, and there were only two middle-aged women in the temple who were worshipping the incense in front of the incense burner.
There was a young Taoist priest standing next to him, seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a coarse cloth blue Taoist robe, wearing a mixed yuan scarf, and holding a whisk in his hand.
The five of us walked inside, huhula, and the movement was quite loud, but the Taoist priest only glanced at us, and then ignored us, and only looked at the incense woman seriously.
Zhang Baoshan stepped forward and wanted to ask.
I pulled him by the hand and motioned not to rush yet.
Zhang Baoshan followed his temperament and led a few people to stand aside and wait.
I stood behind and quietly patted my pocket, and the rat ghost jumped out of my pocket, landed and ran, sticking to the corner of the wall and entering the Sanqing main hall.
The two middle-aged women finished their incense, turned their heads to look at the young Taoist priest, and he said, "Your sincerity has been received by the three Heavenly Venerables, and your requests will be granted." ”
After speaking, he wrapped a small packet of incense ash and handed it to the two of them, and explained: "After I go back, divide it into three doses, one dose a day, swallow it with water, and it will definitely be effective." Remember that every time you take it, you must recite the immeasurable Heavenly Venerable Fusheng sincerely in your heart, you must be sincere, and if your heart is not sincere, it will not work. ”
The two of them held the incense ash and left with a thousand thanks.
Only then did the young Taoist priest turn to us, and after looking at us a few times, he looked at Zhang Baoshan and asked, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, do the laymen want to make incense and make wishes, interpret dreams and ask for hexagrams, or seek medical advice?" ”
Zhang Baoshan said: "We want to meet Jiang Daochang. ”
"It's unfortunate, the host was invited to go down the mountain yesterday to find a way, and he was scheduled to come back at seven o'clock today, if you are not in a hurry, you can sit down, drink a cup of tea, and wait for a while."
The young Taoist priest politely let the five of us into the side hall where the pilgrims were received, then went out and brought in a bowl of boiling water, made a cup of tea for each of us, and then sat down on the side.
"Wild tea in the mountains, not a precious thing, use the mountain spring in the view to brew, but there is another wild interest, please try it."
I picked up the tea and smelled it, couldn't help but smile, and took a sip.
There are drugs in the tea.
This young Taoist priest is not a warlock.
Where there is a skill, it is not a skill.
Medication is a technique, not a technique.
And a real warlock will only use his skills when he needs to show his skills in front of him, and if he needs to control the target like in front of him, he will only use his skills but not his skills.
Skill is virtual, art is real.
Zhang Baoshan's gang of people drinking tea has always been reminded that they can distinguish between good tea and bad tea, picked it up and paused for a moment, drank several big sips, and then responded with a smile: "It's really good tea, what is the name of the Taoist chief, and what is the function of the Guanli?" ”
The young Taoist priest smiled and said: "Poor Taoist Fang Guanyu, three years ago he worshipped the host as a teacher, and now he is a guest in the view, the master helps to receive the layman when he is there, and he watches the house when he is not there." In the past three years, I have also learned some fur, and if the layman has any requests and questions, he can also talk to the poor. ”
Zhang Baoshan snorted and said: "I do some small business in Jingbei, all kinds of things have not gone well recently, and I always have nightmares, I heard that we Qingxuguan Jiang Daochang has great ability and can communicate with the gods, so I came to visit the Taoist and asked him to help break it." ”
Fang Guanyu glanced at Zhang Baoshan a few times and said, "The layman is majestic and strict, not a small business." ”
Zhang Baoshan said: "Small business, and something went wrong, I have lost a lot of money recently, and I have several stuffy heads on my back, and I don't dare to lie down when I sleep......"
At this point, he shook his body, immediately became alert, and reached out to touch his waist, but this action could not be completed, and he fell headlong on the chair.
I immediately collapsed into my chair along with the other four.
Fang Guanyu laughed, clapped his hands, and said, "If you want to come to Qingxuguan to make trouble, you don't weigh how many catties and taels you have!" ”
He searched Zhang Baoshan's body, and when he found the body armor, his face was a little ugly, and then he touched the pistol, handcuffs, and police officer ID, his face changed drastically, and he immediately ran out.
I immediately got up and quietly followed him.
Fang Guanyu ran into a room behind the side hall, grabbed the landline dial on the table, and nervously looked out the window while dialing it back.
The call was picked up quickly.
"Master, the police from Jincheng came, and six people were all overturned by me. Now there are no outsiders. ”
"Put the things in the basement first, I can't leave the banquet here of the Lu family, although it is more valuable, but since it is a gift from the old monk, there is no problem in receiving it, you take care of the things, and wait for me to go back and dispose of them."
The voice from the microphone was deep and calm, and there was no panic.
Without waiting for him to put down the phone, I got up and went back to the side hall, leaning back in a chair and pretending to be unconscious.
Fang Guanyu came back soon, took the rope, first searched the pistol, handcuffs and police officer card, and then tied them one by one with the rope, and then carried them away one by one.
I was the third to be carried.
Fang Guanyu carried me around to the back of the Sanqing Palace.
There is also a small hall here, and it is also dedicated to spiritual officials.
Push open the statue of the spirit officer, revealing an entrance.
Entering from the entrance, it is a basement with an area of more than 40 square meters.
Although the area is not small, it is quite full.
In the corner of the east wall, a half-human-high round vat, filled with a thick inky liquid, the surface of the liquid exposed a head with no epidermis, flesh and blood were exposed to the air, and it was already in a state of dry death, and the uncovered eyes occasionally turned, indicating that it was not a dead thing.
On the edge of the west wall is a long iron case.
The desk was covered in black-brown dried blood.
On the south side there is a shrine against the wall, in which is a black statue, with a distorted face and a frozen gaze as if dementia.
In front of the shrine, the incense candles are flourishing, and there are three offerings, a dish of heart, a dish of liver, and a bowl of blood, dripping and dripping, and has not yet coagulated.
There were three people hanging in the center of the room.
In addition to Zhang Baoshan and the two who were carried over first, there was also a woman, wearing a Taoist robe, the placket was wide open, and there was nothing in the body inside, and there were seven thin needles of color nailed between the chest and abdomen, extending from the left chest to the right lower abdomen, which was exactly the shape of the Big Dipper.
She hung her head motionless, as if she were dead.
The roof of the shed was inlaid with rings.
Fang Guanyu hung my hands upside down on one of the rings, and then hurried back and carried the other two down and hung them on the rings as well.
Carrying five big men in a row really tired him a lot, and after completing all this, he was sweating profusely and panting heavily.
He sat down on the futon in front of the shrine on the ground.
When you sit down, your back is facing the shrine.
But he immediately turned around and turned to face the shrine, kowtowed to the shrine, and muttered: "Xiaodao is unintentional, don't blame, don't blame." ”
At this moment, the woman in the Taoist robe suddenly moved, slowly raised her feet, and stretched out to Fang Guanyu, who was kneeling and bowing.
