The old Taoist priest carried the flag, carried the package, and walked slowly in front, and the flowers and fragrances passed through the sea of people, following all the way.

About half an hour later, the old Taoist stopped in front of a magnificent mansion, the area of the mansion is very wide, the stone walls on both sides alone extend half a mile away, and the tall trees inside can also be seen clearly outside the mansion, you can imagine how magnificent it is.

The door of the Li Mansion is not closed, looking inside from the outside, there is no end in sight, and the things in front of you are all flowers, flowers and plants, pavilions and pavilions.

There were four sturdy men guarding the door, two on the left and two on the left.

The old Taoist priest walked up the steps and said to one of them: "Old Taoist, I heard that the daughter of the Li Mansion has a sick demon (shēn), and I have come here to suppress evil spirits and exorcise demons, and I hope to ...... them."

The sturdy man guarding the door didn't wait for the old Taoist priest to finish speaking, and said impatiently: "Let's go, you are already the twenty-third person who came to the Li Mansion to cheat money...... 一 (shēn) is in tatters, and I'm embarrassed to pretend to be a great immortal to exorcise evil spirits, and now everyone really has it. ”

The old Taoist was turned away, in a dilemma, but it was not easy to argue with the other party, just as he turned (shēn) to leave, Hua Wenxiang took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and stuffed them into the sturdy man, and then leaned on his ear and whispered: " This money is used to buy wine and drink for the brothers, we are not here to cheat money, just to save your young lady, I don't think you will miss a chance to save your young lady because of your superficial opinion, although this old Taoist seems to be plain, but he has real talent and learning, believe me, if he doesn't like your young lady, I will give your brother another hundred taels as reparation, how about it?"

The sturdy man didn't dare to move since he received the silver ticket, and he listened carefully to Hua Wenxiang's words in his ear.

After hearing these words, the sturdy man weighed the pros and cons, if this old Taoist priest was really the deceived goods, he was just scolded by the old man, and he was deducted some salary by the steward to death, but at the same time, he took a hundred taels of silver, which was not a loss. If this old Taoist priest is really talented and learned, it is a great thing to save Miss, Miss is a good person, and he usually treats them as a group of people......

The old Taoist priest looked at the flowers that had just parted, and everyone appeared in front of him again, and smiled faintly.

Luo Bei leaned over to the old Taoist priest (shēn) and laughed softly: "Old sir, we will be friends from now on, and we will have to take care of each other when we enter the Li Mansion in a while." ”

The old Taoist priest smiled and nodded, "It should be so." ”

The sturdy man said hello to the three brothers on the side (shēn), then looked at Hua Wenxiang and his group, and said with a smile: "Come with me, those guys." ”

The old Taoist priest and Hua Wenxiang followed the sturdy man into the Li Mansion together.

The group walked in the Li Mansion, their eyes were full of incredibleness, and they couldn't blame them for not seeing the world, it was really poverty that limited their imagination.

The courtyard of the Li Mansion can be described as five steps on the first floor, ten steps and a pavilion, similar to a small palace, there are streams flowing in it, there are banana forests, there are peach blossoms, there are pear blossoms...... It's like a paradise, and it's beautiful.

After walking the tea effort, the sturdy man led the group to a large compound.

The courtyard is relatively empty, full of all kinds of charms, and there is a table in front of a door, which is covered with a yellow cloth, with a copper stove for incense, a copper sword composed of copper coins, and some evil spirits such as chicken blood and glutinous rice.

When the old Taoist priest saw this, he smiled disdainfully, "The side door is left." ”

The sturdy man asked everyone to wait here, then walked to the door, and said softly: "Master, another Taoist priest came to our Li Mansion to exorcise evil spirits, saying that it can cure Miss's illness, you see ......"

After a moment of silence, a somewhat helpless voice suddenly came from the room, "Give some money and send it away, I have already invited a master here." From now (rì), tear up all the notices of Zhuangzi. ”

There are articles about seeking medical treatment in the Li Mansion posted everywhere in the huge Zhong Zhuo Village, and recently the daughter of the Li family seems to be in the evil spirit, the whole (rì) listless, pale, Zhuo Zhuang Gong has some belief in ghosts and gods, thinking that his daughter was entangled in something dirty, so he began to invite the master to come to the Li Mansion everywhere to practice.

Li Mansion gives a sky-high price to exorcise ghosts, as long as the daughter of Li Mansion is cured, then this money is enough for ordinary people to be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, but this also has drawbacks, many people because of greed for money, whether there are people with or without catties and two catties, they pretend to be masters to try their luck in Li Mansion, which is why the sturdy man who guarded the door before said that the old Taoist priest is the twenty-third person who came to Li Mansion to cheat money.

Master Li Mansion is now completely disappointed in these cheaters.

After listening to his master's words, the sturdy man respectfully agreed, "Got it, master, the little one will do it." ”

Hua Wenxiang and everyone heard the conversation between the two, they didn't know what to do next, and they all looked at the old Taoist priest on the side.

The old Taoist priest suddenly said loudly: "The blood-colored python is a good thing, how can it be harmful? Miss Li dreamed of the man in white, but did she see the true face? Did he have a reflection in the water beside the river......?

Inside the door, an old man suddenly pushed the door out and said excitedly: "How do you know about my daughter's dream?"

The half-haired old man scanned the courtyard as if looking for the person who had just spoken.

Hua Wenxiang everyone doesn't have to think about it to know that the old man in front of him is the legendary Zhuo Zhuang Gong, in the whole world, except for Shangyi's Dong family, Zhuo Zhuang Gong Li Shangmi can be ranked in the top three among the rich.

The Dong family has the God of Wealth, and money is no longer called money, but broken copper and iron, and cheap rice paper.

The sturdy man was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, why did this stinky Taoist suddenly shout, it's over, this time I made a big mistake, the young lady wants to be quiet the most, and the old man is the most taboo for others to make noise here......

The old man who pushed open the door saw the old Taoist priest carrying the flag, hurriedly walked to him, quickly swept the flag with the words "Count all the things in the world", and then asked respectfully: "The master is Mr. Ma sent by the King of Xiang'an?"

The old Taoist priest shook his head, "Poor Dao doesn't know any Xiang'an King, and he doesn't have any name to speak of. ”

When they heard the three words of King Xiang'an, Hua Wenxiang and everyone frowned a little, they didn't know that this Zhuo Zhuang Gong was still having an affair with King Xiang'an, but if you think about it carefully, Xiang'an Wangfu and Zhongzhuo Zhuang are both in Xianzhou, and both of them are very respectful, if there is any contact, it is not a strange thing.

Zhuo Zhuang Gong Li Shangmi was a little puzzled, wandered for a moment, and then asked, "Then who is the master?"

The old Taoist priest stroked his sloppy beard and said with a smile: "If you are a scattered person, you don't know who you are." ”

There was a sudden coughing sound in the room, and Li Shangmi motioned to the sturdy man with the pestle to close the door, and then hurry to do what he had just explained (qíng).

The sturdy man closed the door and walked away quickly.

Li Shangmi (qíng) was serious and asked, "How did the master know about the blood-colored python and the man in white (qíng)?"

The old Taoist priest stood on the ground with the tattered flag in his arms, and naturally said: "Poor Dao is a Taoist priest, of course it is calculated." ”

Li Shangmi fell into a dilemma, before the king of Xiang'an said that he would send a master to treat the beauty, according to the time, today (rì) is almost here, the old Taoist priest in front of him looks like some real talent, maybe he can really be optimistic about the beauty's illness, but if he is really optimistic, when the time comes, Mr. Ma Ye will come to the Li Mansion and have nothing to do, which will indirectly slap the face of the king of Xiang'an, but it is not good.

Even if it was him, Zhuo Zhuanggong, he didn't want to offend a prosperous vassal king.

Although the prince Zhao Chang did not come to visit the Li Mansion, since the king of Xiang'an sent someone to see his daughter, it means that the prince still wants to marry a beautiful woman, but the beautiful woman has a marriage contract first, if the guess is right, the prince Zhao Chang should be waiting for Zhang Caizi to enter Beijing to take the exam and come back to dissolve the marriage, and then at that time he was marrying the beautiful woman in the open.

At first, Li Shangmi and his daughter Li Jiaren thought it was his whim, but he thought that the other party was real.

For this matter, Li Shangmi is unwilling, he has an agreement with his old friend Zhang Qin, the talent and the beauty of the doll can not be fake, not to mention that there is also a Yin Ming as a witness, if (bī) the talent ruined this marriage, then his Li Shangmi's reputation will be ruined, and at the same time he is sorry for the dead old friend.

Li Jiaren and Xiang'an's son Zhao Chang's marriage, the former's mother Cui Xin strongly agreed, for which she also persuaded her master Li Shangmi for three days, and Li Shangmi was also angry with her because of this matter, and told her that a woman's family should not be involved in this matter......

The old Taoist priest saw that Li Shangmi was distracted for a long time, and reminded: "I wonder if Master Li still needs to give Miss Li a method to exorcise evil spirits?"

Li Shangmi came back to his senses and was about to speak, when a slender old man with a dust whisk in his hand walked over, "Master Li, your mansion (yīn) is really heavy, and I have seen no less than a hundred unjust souls (dàng) here as soon as I entered the mansion. ”

Seeing the Taoist priest of the fairy wind bone, Li Shangmi was stunned, and then after reacting, he hurriedly stepped forward and said politely: "The master is the master of the horse industry?"

Hua Wenxiang and the old Taoist priest holding the flag were left out in the cold.

(shēn) The old Taoist man wearing a yellow robe and a yellow crown gave a slight salute, "It's the poor way." ”

Then Ma Ye saw the charms hanging in the courtyard and the exorcism supplies placed on the table, and said with satisfaction: "It seems that Master Li is very well prepared, and Poor Dao will immediately exorcise evil spirits for Miss, so that Miss can get better quickly and avoid pain...... Who are these people?"

Ma Ye looked at the tattered old Taoist priest and Hua Wenxiang and his party on the side, slightly distracted, he always felt that Hua Wenxiang and his party had some acquaintances, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them again.

Only then did Li Shangmi notice that there was Hua Wenxiang and his party on the side (shēn), and he was eager to save the girl just now, and he didn't care much about Hua Wenxiang and everyone at all.

Li Shangmi beckoned a subordinate who was guarding outside the courtyard, and then asked him to go to the housekeeper to get some money for the old Taoist priest and Hua Wenxiang, and it was not considered that this group of people would run in vain.

Then he said sincerely to Ma Ye: "These people also came to me to exorcise demons, but Mr. Ma came before they did anything, it seems that Mr. Lao You still have to take action personally." ”

Ma Ye looked at the "people who cheated money" around him with disdain, and sighed: "Master Li is too kind-hearted. ”

The meaning of his words is obviously to ridicule Hua Wenxiang that everyone has no ability, and he also pretends to be a wolf with a big tail to deceive, which is really ridiculous.

Hua Wenxiang, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Master Li doesn't need to give us money, can you let us watch from the sidelines, we are the same exorcism Taoist as Mr. Ma, and we have long heard of Mr. Ma's first-class exorcism in the rivers and lakes, so today (rì) want to learn from this senior, and I hope to agree." ”

Li Shangmi's mind turned, but he felt that this matter was also feasible, after all, the old Taoist priest in tattered clothes just now was able to tell the dream of a beautiful woman, which was enough to prove that he also had something. Staying here, in case this horse industry is not useful, it can be regarded as having a backhand.

Li Shangmi looked at the horse industry.

The latter was called a senior, and he was also happy in his heart, and said casually: "Just watch it, just don't make trouble during the period." ”

Hua Wenxiang bowed slightly, and then said with a smile: "I will definitely not cause trouble to Mr. Ma." ”
