After recovering from a serious illness, he was able to move freely.

Li Congyan moved a chair and sat in the courtyard to bask in the sun, and the morning sun shone on his body very comfortably.

Before you know it, it's been ten years since you crossed.

Looking back on my life in the past few days, there is only one word to describe it, and that is - miserable!

First he worshipped with the chicken, and then he got lost and hit the ghost, and then he had strange markings on his body.

The day before yesterday, I specially invited the doctor of the Rejuvenation Hall to come to diagnose and treat it, saying that it was poisoned, but as for what kind of poison it was, I couldn't say, let alone detoxify.

The level of medical care in this era is really indescribable.

Fortunately, I didn't feel any discomfort.

After carefully searching the memories of his predecessor, Li Congyan found that this strange spot was not recent. It appeared two months ago, at first it was only the size of a copper coin, and then it grew bigger and bigger, and now it is more than ten times bigger.

"This poison ...... It's still spreading. ”

He was very melancholy, life was really difficult, and he might suddenly die of poison one day.

Then.

The pretty little maid popped up and interrupted his thoughts.

Xiaoyu deliberately went to the kitchen to boil chicken porridge to replenish his uncle's body. ”

Li Congyan looked at her, took the porridge bowl, and thanked her.

The steaming rice porridge exudes an enticing aroma and is topped with fungus and lotus seeds. The shredded chicken is cooked badly and melts in your mouth.

"Delicious!"

He said it was delicious, but a strange thought came to his heart: It can't be made with the chicken that worships him, right?

He shook his head, brushed aside the absurd thoughts, ate a bowl of porridge with three strokes and five divided by two, and burped beautifully.

If it weren't for the strange poison in his body, this day would not be bad, he would have no worries about food and clothing, and there would be maids to serve him.

It's a pity that I don't know how long I can enjoy it.

......

Xiaoyu neatly packed up the dishes and spoons, but did not leave, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Li Congyan looked at it, felt strange, and asked, "Xiaoyu, are you still in trouble?"

"Uncle has been lying in bed for a few days, do you want to go for a walk on the street and exercise your muscles?"

"I don't want to. It's good to sit. ”

"Oh......" the little maid showed a disappointed expression.

When Li Congyan saw this, his heart suddenly changed.

"Oh, I think you want to hang out. ”

She was arranged to take care of her uncle, and if her uncle didn't go out, she naturally wouldn't leave without permission.

The little girl's face was red, and she said embarrassedly: "There is a lively scene to see today." ”

Watching the excitement?

"Okay, let's go check it out. ”

Li Congyan got up, stretched his waist, and said indifferently.

Idle is also idle, since this girl wants to go out, then it doesn't hurt to take a walk around and see the excitement.

The little girl grinned, unable to hide her joy.

......

Walk down the street.

The little fish girl is in a very good mood, her steps are light, she jumps while walking, and the two pigtails on her head are dangling and shaking, which is very cute.

Passing by a stall.

Li Congyan stopped, bought two red ropes, and tied the little girl's braids into a ball.

The popular pill head in later generations was just done, and it was a double pill head.

I borrowed a bronze mirror from the stall owner again: "How?"

The little girl looked in the mirror, looked left and right, and didn't know what she thought, her little face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head shyly.

"Let's go. ”

After paying two pennies, Li Congyan beckoned her to continue on the road.

"Why are you red, is it hot?"

The little maid dodged her gaze and looked away.

Diverting the topic, he said, "Uncle, are there really ghosts in the world?"

"Yes. ”

Li Congyan affirmed.

Not only that, but he had seen it with his own eyes, and in a group.

"That's what everybody says...... However, Xiaoyu has never seen a ghost. ”

The little maid talked about the "liveliness" to see today.

It turned out that there was a family surnamed Tao in the county, and the house was haunted recently. This ghost is none other than Liu Xiu, the daughter-in-law of the Tao family, who died not long ago. That Liu Xiu was attached to Fanchen and was reluctant to leave, but it disturbed the Tao family's chickens and dogs.

As a last resort, the Tao family had no choice but to ask the government for help.

Yesterday, the official posted a notice, saying that he had invited a Taoist chief to cast a spell to catch ghosts at noon today.

......

"So, when you say it's lively, you're actually watching ghost hunting?"

"Is my uncle afraid?"

"I'm afraid. ”

"That'...... Let's go back. ”

"It's coming. ”

Speaking of ghosts, Li Congyan was a little stunned in his heart. But fortunately, it is daytime, and there are Taoist priests, so I don't think there will be much of a problem.

While talking, the two came to Tao's house.

It's close to noon.

The people who eat melons have already surrounded the Tao family, the door is open, and Wu Yang has squeezed a bunch of heads. Some of them even climbed up the fence and sat down there, looking condescendingly.

"Isn't it just a year since Liu got married, why did he throw himself into the well?"

"The bride has been in the door for a year, and her stomach has not moved, and everyone says that she is a stone girl who can't give birth to cubs. Liu Xiu couldn't stand the gossip, and couldn't think about it for a while, so he threw himself into the well in the middle of the night. ”

"Alas, what a pity for a woman. ”

Before the ceremony began, several neighbors gathered together and chatted and gossiped.

......

Li Congyan took a little girl, naturally he couldn't climb the wall, so he had to squeeze at the door and drill into it. After a series of white eyes, he finally occupied a good position and could see the situation in the courtyard clearly.

I saw two door panels in the center of the courtyard, on which lay a man and a woman.

"That's the head of the family, Tao Afu, and the head mother, Feng, who are Liu's in-laws. ”

The little maid did her homework ahead of time and explained.

The couple had a gloomy complexion, a skinny body, a slightly undulating chest with a collapsed chest, and they were already breathing more and less breathing, and they didn't have long to live.

Li Congyan used his supernatural powers, and when he fixed his eyes, he saw a female ghost lying on Feng's body.

The female ghost was dressed in white, her body was bloated, her skin was blue and purple, and she was extremely ugly. She and Feng Shi were face to face, and as soon as their cheeks were deflated, a white air stream was sucked out of Feng's mouth.

"Well, there are ghosts. ”

The southeast corner of the yard.

There is a Dharma altar, which is full of all kinds of props, such as portraits of the Three Qing Dynasty, tablets of the ancestors, order flags, cloth flags, runic paper, scriptures, gongs, incense burners, offerings, and porcelain vases with willow branches......

A Taoist priest stood in front of the altar, still preparing something.

"The Taoist looks so small. Li Congyan was surprised.

It is indeed very small, and it looks much younger than the little maid, about ten years old, only a head taller than the altar. is young, but he has a straight face, and he looks like an adult in his gestures, which looks a little funny.

"There was an old one. Xiao Yu said.

"Where?"

"It's gone. ”

"Where's this?"

"Apprentice. ”

As he was talking, the ritual seemed to be almost ready, and the Taoist leader picked up the gong and struck it vigorously.

"Bell—"

The neighbors, who had been talking to each other, immediately quieted down, and everyone knew that they were about to start hunting ghosts.

At the same time, a crack opened in the door of the room, and a young man poked his head out, looked around with thick dark circles under his eyes, and winced.

When he saw the little Taoist, his cloudy eyes immediately lit up, and he squeezed out of the crack in the door sideways, ran quickly in front of the little Taoist, and knelt on the ground with a "snap".

"Immortal Daoist, please save me. The young man hugged the little Taoist priest and cried with a handful of snot and tears.

"As we said before, you ......"

The little Taoist priest with the Taoist name "Changsheng" spoke in the man's ear.

"Who is this?"

Li Congyan asked. In his sight, as soon as the man came out, the female ghost locked her eyes on the man, and then flew up and lay dead on his back.

And the man and the little Taoist priest were unaware and still talking.

"Liu's husband. Xiao Yu replied.

No wonder.

......

A moment later.

After explaining, the little Taoist priest asked the man to kneel next to his parents.

Then, the little Taoist priest took out a small bottle from his arms, put his finger in it and dipped it, and then wiped it on his eyes. Then, he turned his gaze to the center of the courtyard, and his expression changed suddenly.

Li Congyan saw it clearly, before the little Taoist wiped his eyes, most of the people like everyone else, he couldn't see ghosts. After wiping it, I suddenly saw a female ghost and was startled by its terrifying appearance.

I don't know what to wipe it for?

There were people who were as curious as him, only to hear a big man on the wall ask loudly, "Hey, what's in the bottle?"

"Cow tears. ”

"Can you see ghosts after wiping them?"

"Yes. ”

"Wipe it on me, too. ”

"You're not afraid?"

"Hmph, if I want to be able to see a ghost, I want it to taste my fist. ”

As he spoke, the big man kicked his legs and jumped off the wall.

The little Taoist priest didn't hide his selfishness, helped the big man wipe the cow's tears, and then pointed to the location of the female ghost.

The big man blinked, and looked in the direction that the little Taoist priest was pointing at—

"Damn!

A loud cry shook the earth and made people's ears buzz.

Then, the big man rolled his eyes, fainted to the ground, and looked closely, and the crotch of his pants was already wet.

When a group of people saw this, they couldn't stop laughing.

"Hahaha......"

"Where did you come from, laughing to death. ”

......

The little Taoist priest was not moved, but opened the scriptures on the altar and read: "When the Taishang says the Dharma, the golden bell rings the jade sound, the hundred filths hide the nine places, the demons subdue the forest, the ceiling scatters the rain, the Dharma drum vibrates the layer, the heavens are good, and the golden boy dances the Yaoqin......"

The scriptures are boring, and the people are bored listening to them.

But the female ghost lost her mind, and was so drowsy that she almost wanted to sleep.

At this time, the little Taoist priest suddenly took out a talisman drawn with cinnabar, the talisman spontaneously combusted without fire, and the ashes fell into the bowl of clear water prepared in advance.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the willow branch in the porcelain vase and came to the female ghost with the talisman water.

The words are still in his mouth, and he doesn't stop.

The willow branch was dipped in talisman water, and it smacked at the man's back.

In the eyes of others, there was nothing on his back, but he clearly heard a crisp sound, as if he had hit the real thing.

The female ghost didn't know how to dodge in a daze, and was knocked off her husband's back and rolled to the ground.

"Whew!"

The female ghost let out a howl, revealed her true form, and rolled on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Coax!

There was an uproar around, and no one expected that there would really be a female ghost who looked so terrible.

The timid ones are already trembling, and they don't dare to look at it anymore, they just want to escape.

"Uncle......"

Xiaoyu subconsciously grabbed his uncle's arm and shrunk his neck in fear.

Li Congyan patted the back of her hand and signaled that she didn't have to worry.

"Huh!"

The little Taoist priest raised the willow branch and pulled it down again.

The female ghost curled up and wailed. After a few lashes, the ghost's body gradually became unstable, and there were faint signs of collapse.

"Xiaodao looks good!"

When everyone saw that the female ghost had no power to resist, they gradually stopped being afraid, but played as if they were watching street acrobatics.

"The female ghost harms people, kill it!"

"Hit hard!

But.

The little Taoist priest did not kill them all, and saw that the female ghost was on the verge of collapse, but he collected the willow branches and recited the transcendent scriptures: "At that time, save the suffering Tianzun, fill the ten realms, and often use the power of the gods to save all sentient beings, and get away from the lost, and all sent beings are unconscious, such as blindly seeing the sun and the moon......"
