Chapter 258: Tong Qing Breaks the Nightmare Array to Suppress Evil
Tong Qing took his apprentice Tong Jie through his hometown, Zhen Python Mountain no longer exists, looking at the starry sky, silently paying tribute to Li Hai and Dong Shihua's two benefactor grandfathers, full of melancholy, not feeling sad from it, suddenly remembered that he also has a junior brother Zhou Ren, who is a closed disciple of the benefactor's grandfather Li Hai, so many years have passed, and I don't know how this junior brother Zhou Ren is living now? Why not take this opportunity to visit my junior brother.
After making up his mind, Tong Qing immediately set off with his apprentice Tong Jie to the hometown of his junior brother Zhou Ren.
Speaking of the origin of Tong Qing's junior brother Zhou Ren, there are twists and turns, and there is a tear-jerking and heart-wrenching story!
Tong Qing's younger brother Zhou Ren, born in a medical family, his ancestors are doctors, therefore, he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and when he grows up, his son inherits his father's business, hangs the pot to help the world, saves the life of the wounded, through his wonderful hands, he has saved the lives of many mortals, superb medical skills, and is deeply loved by the people, and he is called "divine doctor" at a young age.
Once, at the invitation of a friend, Zhou Ren went out to treat a patient with a difficult disease.
As soon as Zhou Ren left, the village where he lived, suddenly came to a "Taoist priest" who traveled to the party, claiming to be able to cure all kinds of diseases, and suppress evil spirits, as long as the villagers provided him with some vegetarian dishes and tea for three meals a day, he cured the disease and saved people, drove away evil spirits and hunted ghosts, and did not charge any penny.
So, the miracle doctor Zhou Ren went out, not in the village, the people on the village, on the "Taoist" of this wandering party as a fairy, the respected old village chief Zhou Dongyu after soliciting the opinions of the big guys, confused to this unknown origin of the "Taoist", to invite into the ancestral ancestral hall of the village to support, the Zhuang people, the people of Waizhuang, the name of the curtain came, to ask this "Taoist" to see a doctor, exorcism, ghost hunting, crowds of people, the river is endless, endless. And this "Taoist" has never been troublesome, always responds to requests, and never shirks.
"Taoist priests" are very effective in curing diseases; "Taoist priests" drive away evil spirits, and evil spirits are not close to the body; "Taoist priests" catch ghosts, and one catches one accurately.
One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, the god is like its god, a radius of a hundred miles, no one knows, no one knows, people are worshipping this "Taoist", and they are convinced.
However, since the arrival of this "Taoist priest", there have always been cases of losing children in Honjo and nearby villages, and then, when the big guy found the child, the children were all killed, and they were brutally cut open their chests and their hearts gouged out.
The local people, in great panic, came to ask this "Taoist priest" why the children were killed and who did it.
This "Taoist priest" pretended to chant "Amitayus Buddha, Taishang Laojun, anxious as a law", and then closed his eyes, pinched his fingers indiscriminately, and said seriously: "You here, there is a hidden gangster who specializes in eating people's hearts, and the victimized children are all mutilated by this villain, I must help you big guys, catch this murderous murderer, do the right thing for heaven, and eliminate harm for the people." ”
It happened that during this period, Zhou Ren went out to see a doctor and came home, he heard the villagers say that there was a "Taoist" in the village, this "person's" medical skills, particularly clever, and also a master of exorcism and ghost hunting, so he made a special trip to the ancestral hall to visit this "Taoist" who was praised by the people.
Zhou Ren came to the door of the ancestral hall, only to see the front of the ancestral hall, the traffic is busy, the city is in general, there is even more cigarette smoke inside, noisy people, through the cracks in the people, I saw from a distance that the "Taoist" is sitting on a high platform newly built in the ancestral hall. I saw this "Taoist priest", holding a cloud bun on his head, wearing a gossip robe, holding a whisk in his left hand, and a cold and shining sword in his right hand pointing and scratching there, chanting and singing in his mouth.
With curiosity, Zhou Ren squeezed into the courtyard of the ancestral hall, slowly passed through the crowd, and approached the high platform step by step, inadvertently, he glanced at the "Taoist priest" who was doing it, and both of them couldn't help but cry out "ah".
Zhou Ren's eyes widened, and he shouted loudly: "There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it, you monster, I have been looking for you for many days and have not been seen, it turns out that you have escaped here to make waves!"
As Zhou Ren spoke, he squeezed through the crowd around him and pounced directly on the "Taoist priest" on the high platform.
Seeing Zhou Ren, the "Taoist priest" was startled at first, and the sword he was holding in his right hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and then, he hurriedly bent down and picked up the sword, pointed at Zhou Ren with the tip of the sword, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, this person is the villain who specializes in stealing children's hearts! Quick, everyone take a hand, hurry up and catch him, don't let him run away!"
At first, people thought that this "Taoist" was mistaken, so someone came to grab the angry Zhou Ren, saying that the "Taoist" was talking nonsense, and persuaded him not to be more serious and angry.
"Folks, listen to me, he's not a Taoist priest, he's a man-eating monster!" Zhou Ren shouted.
The fake "Taoist priest" was about to show his feet, and this monster suddenly threw out a trance, fascinated everyone's minds, and then with the help of the medicinal effect, he took the opportunity to deceive people's minds and shouted loudly to everyone: "Hurry up and tie up this villain! If you let him escape, don't think about leaving another living child!"
Everyone was in a daze, their minds were blank, and they suddenly heard this "Taoist priest" say such words, they were taken aback, and they couldn't help but say, they went over one after another, and pressed Zhou Ren to the ground, divided by two by three, and tied up.
Zhou Ren was anxious and angry, and shouted: "Folks, don't make a mistake, it's not a Taoist priest at all, but a man-eating demon! This monster stole the hearts of thousands of children in the area of Anyuan City in Zhenbo Mountain a while ago! I accidentally bumped into him once, and I was looking for him everywhere, everyone hurry up and let go of me, and work together to catch this monster, beat it to death, and avenge the children who were killed!"
However, the villagers were lost in ecstasy and did not believe every word Zhou Ren said at all, but looked at the "Taoist priest" and only listened to what he said alone.
"Very good!" The fake "Taoist priest" said: "Everyone doesn't believe that this villain's words are right! This villain, he said that he has been going to other places to see people for medical treatment in the past few days, and it is completely false, and it is true that he hid and stole children. I've been looking for him for a few days, and today, he sent him to the door and threw himself into the net, which is really a natural thing!"
Everyone was fascinated, unanimously believed the words made up by this "Taoist priest", remembered the tragic situation of the missing children who died miserably one by one these days, and couldn't help but scold Zhou Ren for being a Buddha-faced snake heart.
The "Taoist priest" successfully aroused the anger of the people, striking while the iron was hot, he called the angry people, beat Zhou Ren to the spot, and then tied the dying Zhou Ren to a big stone weighing more than 500 catties, and carried the teacher to the sea and threw it into the turbulent sea water.
In the days after Zhou Ren sank into the sea, the village and nearby villages did not lose the child again, and people became more and more convinced of the "Taoist priest" and grateful!
However, more than half a month after Zhou Ren was killed, the theft and mutilation of children in the village and nearby villages happened again, and it was even more serious than before, and even in the middle of the day, the doors and windows were closed, and the children were at home, they could be mysteriously stolen and mutilated.
The "Taoist priest" shook his head for a long time, and said leisurely: "The villain Zhou Ren, although he is dead, but the demonic spirit here has not been completely and completely expelled yet, in other words, it is the villain Zhou Ren, it is very likely that there are other accomplices, everyone rest assured, I will do my best to arrest and eradicate these gangsters who mutilated the children one by one, and ensure the peace of the place." ”
However, on the night of these words, the "Taoist priest" who had sworn by it disappeared and disappeared.
The loss of the child is getting worse and worse.
Without the help of the "Taoist priest", the local people were gloomy and sighed, so they had to organize themselves and carry out day and night patrols, trying to protect the safety of the children.
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was a monster the size of a small buffalo that ran out of the neighboring village of Zhaojiazhuang in a panic.
The monster, with a yellow body, had two horns on its head and dragged a long, large white tail. In its mouth, it had something shining white in its mouth, and hurried to the reed pond by the sea.
When he arrived at the reeds, the monster straightened up, quickly took off his skin, untied a ** bag from his back, and poured out a black and mushy thing. Then, this monster put down the white dazzling thing in his mouth, leaned down, untied the mouth of the ** bag, and let out a violent whimpering struggle sound from the sack.
The hundreds of young peasants who had followed the monster shouted and quickly rushed forward, surrounding the monster in groups.
The villagers lit torches, and when they looked closely, they saw what kind of monster it was? It turned out to be the fake "Taoist priest" who had disappeared!
I saw this fake "Taoist priest" wrapping his head in a piece of black cloth, pulling out the corners of the cloth, pretending to be two long horns, biting the sword he used to use when he used to practice for people in his mouth, turning over his Taoist robe, and his long white tail was a dust whisk stuck upside down behind his waist.
This fake "Taoist priest" tied all the stolen children hand and foot, gagged his mouth with rags, made the children unable to resist, and couldn't scream, and then, he used a ** bag to contain these stolen children, resting on his back, putting on a Taoist robe, leaning over, looking at it from a distance, as if it was a strange monster.
Everyone saw the scene in front of them clearly, and suddenly woke up, thinking of the murder of the divine doctor Zhou Ren, they were angry and hateful, and they raised their sticks one after another and beat them hard.
Who knows, this fake "Taoist priest" rolled on the spot, and turned into a grinning weasel, panicked from everyone's crotch, got through, quickly jumped into the sea, and swam to the middle of the sea......
Suddenly, on the calm sea, in an instant, the wind was fierce, the waves were rolling, and in the waves, a figure appeared, who was it? Zhou Ren.
I saw that in the turbulent sea, Zhou Ren's hand was tightly holding a huge stone, he was full of strength, and threw it fiercely towards the weasel spirit who fled for his life, the huge stone, impartially, just hit the head of the weasel spirit, only to hear the weasel spirit "ah" scream, struggled twice, and the body slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
"Look, it's the divine doctor Zhou Ren who has appeared and killed that weasel goblin!Divine Doctor Zhou, we bastards, I'm sorry for you!" everyone knelt down on the shore together, wailing and crying.
Suddenly, the soul of the haunting weasel goblin fought violently with Zhou Ren's soul in the sea.
The soul of the weasel spirit is strong, Zhou Ren was just a mortal before his death, he knew neither martial arts nor spells, he was invincible at all, and after a few rounds, Zhou Ren was defeated and retreated.
At the last moment, before Zhou Ren's soul flew away, he happened to be met and seen by Li Hai and Dong Shihua, who were passing by the sea, and the two hurriedly joined forces to kill the soul of the weasel goblin, so that it was wiped out, and then Zhou Ren's soul was carefully rescued and brought back to the Python Mountain.
The old man Lehi suffered from sleepwalking, he was sleeping at night, suddenly got up, crossed the ghost gate, and went to travel to the underworld, but by mistake, he met the Nine Shadows Emperor Puxu, stated the reason, and renewed his life for Zhou Ren's rescue, and allowed him to return to the world.
The old man Li Hai couldn't help but be overjoyed, thanked the Nine Shadows Emperor Puxu, hurriedly returned to the world, fished up Zhou Ren's body from the sea, put his soul into it, and revived it, and then accepted him as a closed disciple, and taught Zhou Ren all his lifelong medical education.
........................
Tong Qing's younger brother Zhou Ren is extremely smart and knowledgeable, his family is well-off, and his family style is particularly upright. His wife, Han Yinggu, died of illness at an early age, leaving him with two sons. The eldest son, Zhou Wenhua, is a business elite who has already started a family, and has also given birth to a daughter, a family of four, seeking development in the capital;
The Zhou family's family background is particularly good, and Zhou Wenxuan himself has good character and appearance, so he has naturally become a "fragrant sweetheart" in the eyes and hearts of many young girls.
However, this marriage and starting a family is the most important event in life, and it must not be sloppy at all.
So, after careful consideration and screening, Zhou Ren finally finalized a good family affair for his second son Zhou Wenxuan.
The woman's surname is Lan, and her maiden name is Miao Shu. This name is taken from the poem "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Island, My Fair Lady, Gentleman is Good" in the Book of Songs.
As her name suggests, Lan Miaoshu is indeed a gentle woman with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and the Lan family's style is innocent, which is very much in line with Zhou Ren's wishes.
In that case, let's choose an auspicious day for the zodiac and accomplish this good deed.
Where did he expect that Zhou Ren never expected that on the night of the candles in the cave room where you and I were supposed to be nong, he gave the matter.
On the wedding night, when the relatives and friends were scattered, the door was closed, Zhou Ren went back to the room, and just lay down, he heard a noisy noise in the courtyard, listening to the movement, as if knocking down the flower stand, the flower pot fell to the ground.
"Could it be that there are so many lively listeners hidden in the house?" Zhou Ren hurriedly put on his clothes, walked out of the house, and went to the courtyard to check what was going on.
The moon hangs on the branches, clear and bright.
Zhou Ren soon saw his new daughter-in-law, Lan Jiaoshu, who had just passed the door, alone, lying in the cloister of the patio, crying and weeping.
Lan Xiaoshu was sad and sad, her shoulders trembled, and she looked very pitiful.
"Auntie, why are you so sad?" Zhou Ren hurriedly walked over and asked.
Before getting married, when the in-laws met, Zhou Ren once expressed his attitude to Lan Xiaoshu's parents, saying that he would treat her as his own daughter.
That's why I called my aunt.
"Dad, Zhou Wenxuan beat me. ”
As soon as the words came out, "Woo ......", Lan Jiaoshu cried into a tearful person.
When Zhou Ren heard this, he was taken aback and hurriedly watched, but no, Lan Xiaoshu's sideburns were scattered, her eyes were red and swollen, and a few finger marks were added to her pink and tender cheeks. Obviously, it was a slap in the face.
It was precisely this kung fu that Zhou Wenxuan walked out of the new house.
Zhou Rendeng burst into flames, stepped forward, and raised his hand to be a resounding slap.
"Bastard thing, get on your knees. If you don't nod, you're not allowed to get up tonight!"
Well, the night of candles in the cave room has become a night of punishment and kneeling.
As for what happened between his son Zhou Wenxuan and his daughter-in-law Lan Yaoshu, who had just passed the door? As an elder, Zhou Ren naturally did not bother to ask more, so he went back to his room angrily.
Nothing was said all night.
only said that the next day, the sky was slightly bright, and Zhou Wenxuan shook his weak legs and confessed his mistake to the bride Lan Xiaoshu. "My aunt, I was stunned for my husband yesterday, and I really can't remember moving my own hands. However, no matter what, it's the husband's fault, and from now on, the husband will treat you well, and he will never make mistakes again. ”
As the saying goes, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, although Lan Yaoshu had palpitations in her heart, but in the end, she still chose to forgive her husband Zhou Wenxuan.
Seeing this, Zhou Ren also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Family and Fang can prosper.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
But that evening, seeing the little couple happily returning to the room, Zhou Ren couldn't help but have a sweet dream of hugging his grandson.
Unexpectedly, in just a short period of time, the little couple actually snapped again, don't think too much, it's a move, and they hit the chickens and dogs, like the enemies of the third world.
If it weren't for Zhou Ren's son Zhou Wenxuan, who didn't avoid suspicion and slammed the door and entered, he would have strangled Lan Xiaoshu to death!
"Bastard, you're crazy, or are you evil?!"
A slap was thrown, Zhou Ren was still angry, and raised his foot and kicked it fiercely.
Zhou Wenxuan couldn't dodge, leaned back, hit his head on the corner of the table, and fainted.
"Something is wrong, since he was a child, his second son Wenxuan has always been polite, not to mention beating people, even if he is asked to scold people, he feels disgusted. Now, how can it be that as soon as you enter the cave room, you have nothing to do, and you become a beast in seconds? I'm afraid there's something strange about this, right?" Zhou Ren was full of doubts and couldn't understand it.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
Just when Zhou Ren was worried and worried, senior brother Tong Qing led his apprentice Tong Jie to the door and visited him.
In the evening, on the receiving mat, Tong Qing saw that his junior brother Zhou Ren was frowning, so he put down the wine cup and asked the reason.
"Senior brother, I see Xuan'er with a gentle temperament, humility and courtesy, how is this possible?"
"Alas, master, don't you see how scary his appearance will be. What's even more infuriating is that after making a move, he still pretended to be confused, and never admitted his account. ”
While talking, it was really an eye medicine, and the little two hit it again.
And this time, Zhou Wenxuan suffered a loss, was caught with a blue nose and swollen face, and fled in defeat.
Qiao Xiaoshu still refused to give up, with her hair scattered, and chased after her.
For a while, Tong Qing was stunned.
This, where is the gentle and skillful daughter-in-law who has passed the scene, she is clearly a shrew dominatrix.
Tong Qing was about to get up and go over to stop him, but at this moment, he heard his apprentice Tong Jie suddenly shout:
"Master, uncle, come and listen, it seems that someone is running and fighting here. ”
The place that Tong Jie was referring to was the door frame of Zhou Wenxuan and Qiao Yaoshu's bedroom.
Tong Qing was stunned at first, hurriedly got up and went over, listened carefully, and looked carefully.
Watching, listening, I couldn't help frowning.
Indeed, inside the door frame, there is a "da-da-da" sound, which is very slight, as if two people are fighting inside.
"Senior brother, who made this door?" asked Tong Qing.
"Zhao Danian, an old carpenter in the south of the city, senior brother, what's wrong?" replied Zhou Ren, "Before Xuan'er got married, I hired him to come to the house and rebuild this door. ”
"Senior brother, alas, don't say anything, stand back, Tong Jie, come here, crack this door frame for the teacher!"
"Yes, master!" Tong Jie drew the sword behind him, and with a click, the door frame suddenly cracked.
In the door frame, there is a space, and the whole is like an alley. In the middle of the alley, two wooden dolls, no more than half an inch tall, with heads, faces, hands and feet, were chasing and tearing, running in circles. Judging from the appearance, the two puppets should be a man and a woman. At this moment, the female doll obviously had the upper hand, and she had already thrown the male doll to the ground.
Looking at the courtyard again, the new daughter-in-law Lan Yaoshu turned out to be infinitely powerful, she had already pounced on her husband Zhou Wenxuan, rode on him, opened the bow left and right, and slapped his face with "popping", screaming while beating, terrifying, especially scary.
"Senior brother, this, this, this...... What the hell is going on?"
"Senior brother, this is actually a harmful array. Tong Qing instantly saw the strangeness in it, and stopped Lan Haoshu from continuing to beat Zhou Wenxuan.
Tong Qing continued: "Senior brother, when it comes to this harmful nightmare, senior brother will tell you a little story: There is a rich child in a certain place, who gambles indiscriminately, and his luck is extremely bad, so that he gambles and loses repeatedly.
Late one night, the gambler went to the casino again on loan sharks, and his wife, angry and hateful, was weeping to the corner, and faintly heard the sound of dice rolling and shouting.
The wife was very curious, and hurriedly raised her eyes to look for it, and found that this voice seemed to come from the beam of the main hall.
The wife was puzzled, so she brought a bamboo ladder and climbed the beam.
Oh my God, in the hidden place of the beam, there are actually four little wooden figures, who are playing with dice around a small table.
Surprisingly, the dice in the bowl only have one, two, and three on the surface, and there are no four, five, and six!
The wife immediately understood what was going on, so she turned all the six dice into four, five, and six.
From then on, the gambler's husband would win every gamble, and soon, he won all the lost fortune again.
That night, when the gambler was about to go out to gamble, his wife grabbed the scissors, stopped him, and said, 'If you go to gamble again, I will die for you.'
The husband was stunned and didn't dare to go out hard, and it was not until the second half of the night that the wife told her husband the secret on the roof beam, so the couple moved a bamboo ladder to climb the roof beam, and Hao Ran saw that the four little wooden people were throwing dice and gambling.
Seeing this, her husband's face suddenly changed greatly, he thought about it carefully, patted his head, and suddenly realized.
It turned out that after the death of his parents, he had renovated the house, because of the salary was calculating, and had a dispute with the carpenter on the beam, was designed, obsessed with gambling, lost all the family wealth, if it was not for his wife to find out about this cat, he was still in the dark, the next day, he hurriedly invited a great mage, successfully cracked the puppet array, from then on, no longer set foot in the casino, change his mind, the situation is getting better and better.
And this puppet array is the rumored insidious evil art: the harmful nightmare array.
Unexpectedly, right now, such a strange thing happened in the home of the junior brother, using dolls as town objects, hiding them in the door frame, and casting spells. Once a month, confusing people's minds, making the newlyweds beat each other, turn against each other, and have sinister intentions!
Fortunately, the apprentice Tong Jie brought by the senior brother was in a clear state of mind, and his ears and eyes were clear, and he happened to hear the subtle sound of the puppet, and only then did he discover the clue!
Otherwise, Xuan'er's marriage is a small matter, and if it kills someone who makes a fuss, it will be a big deal.
You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to guard against people, junior brother, tell me quickly, how did you offend this carpenter surnamed Zhao and make him do such a vicious thing? Fortunately, I found it early, and my senior brother was able to crack it, and it didn't cause any trouble!"
After listening to Senior Brother Tong Qing's explanation, Zhou Ren didn't feel cold sweat, but suddenly realized and hurriedly informed.
It turned out that seeing that the Zhou family was well-off, and Zhou Wenxuan was a talent, many portals invited matchmakers to come to the door to say goodbye.
Among them, including Zhao Danian, a carpenter in the south of the city.
Zhao Danian has a daughter, her name is Zhao Lina, she is as beautiful as a flower and has an outstanding appearance, but a girl's family is open-mouthed, and she loves to chew people's tongues, and her behavior is extremely poor.
The carpenter Zhao Danian was resentful because of this, so he secretly did something when Zhou Ren asked him to rebuild the door.
"Senior brother, if this is the case, then this carpenter Zhao Danian's mind is also vicious. In that case, you can't blame me!"
After that, Tong Qing asked Zhou Ren to kill a rooster quickly, took a bowl of hot chicken blood and poured it on the door frame to relieve the curse, and then, spitting fairy fire, stretched the heads of the two wooden puppets into the burning and jumping fairy fire.
The next day, Zhou Ren went out to see off his senior brother Tong Qing and his nephew Tong Jie's master and apprentice, and met the carpenter Zhao Danian at the door. I was surprised to find that this Zhao carpenter's head was covered with sores, and his face was red, as if his whole head had been inserted into a hot stove pit.
Zhao Danian walked into several pharmacies one after another to heal his wounds, and the doctors sitting in the hall all raised their eyebrows and shook their heads and said: "This disease of yours, because I have never seen it, I don't dare to prescribe medicine rashly, you better hurry up and let the divine doctor Zhou Ren take a look!"
Zhao Danian has been hiding from the divine doctor Zhou Ren since he did something wrong, and now, let him look like this to ask Zhou Ren for healing, he is even uncomfortable being killed, he would rather endure the painful torture, than give the divine doctor Zhou Ren the guilt, bow his head and admit his mistakes, obsessed, stubborn, and finally harm others and himself, in the extreme pain of torture, to death.
Tong Qing and his apprentice Tong Jie left the home of their junior brother Zhou Ren, and while walking, they suddenly heard that the big waterhole outside the gate of Anyuan City at the foot of the Python Mountain in the original town had captured dozens of demon fairies who plagued the world and were executed by the waterhole. The ghosts of the goblins, gathered together, continued to stir up troubles and plague mankind, and ordinary people passing by here were often dragged into the water and drowned.
So, Tong Qing took his apprentice Tong Jie to Anyuan City, and before he reached the waterhole, he heard a group of ghosts fleeing in panic and said, "Run, Tong Qing is here!"
Tong Qing came to the waterhole and issued a ban: You goblins, who obeyed the dispatch of the female demon Yu Die'er, aided in the abuse, caused chaos in the world, and caused the wrath of the heavens, so they were corrected on the spot. However, you have no intention of repenting at all, and you have gathered people here to make trouble, continue to do evil and harm people, and everything outside the grave is under the jurisdiction of mankind. If you still want to do evil, you will regret it!
Tong Qing threw out the demon suppression sword, covering the entire waterhole, and from then on, there were no more monster ghosts here to harm people.
