Chapter 51: The Fu Family
At the crossroads, on the opposite side of the three streets, a Taoist priest held high the order flag, the bells were ringing all the way, and his mouth was chattering, and there was a small Taoist priest around him less than two steps away.
said that he was a little Taoist, but his actual age was probably older than himself, and those people followed him as if they were helping him, but a group of thugs, all of whom were middle-aged men.
The Taoist priest walked up to Li Bing and said softly, "It's still troublesome Lord Li." ”
Li Bing is not interested in these deceitful Taoists, and he doesn't like them, but his duty is to let them go.
He said politely: "There is a long way to go." ”
The Taoist priest walked past him with a smile, and walked towards the three streets behind him step by step, and finally the last three streets were no longer deserted, and a sound of clanging sounded that was not very pleasant.
"Hehe, it's okay, even if Uncle Chen wants to help, it's useless, my child can't come back, life should be like this, life should be like this. The little light in the woman's eyes dimmed as the words vanished.
The man didn't speak, and stood quietly aside, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a Tai Chi Taoist robe, holding a peachwood sword, and chanting words in his mouth walked slowly towards them at the corner of the street.
The door that this Taoist chief passed through had people open the windows to watch, but they only watched from the house, and would not take a step out of the house, for fear that they would be contaminated with something.
On either side of the Taoist chief stood four men in Taoist robes, handing out useless yellow paper to the sky.
Lin Xi asked Liu Ye how to check the spiritual power of other people, as long as the other party's realm was not as high as his own or he did not deliberately hide the treasures of the realm, it was easy to see if they were ordinary people.
Although Lin Xi is not a monk now, and he doesn't know how to use spiritual power to watch, he has an ancient book on this subject, and it is easy to read the spiritual power and aura of these people thoroughly.
As he expected, these people really didn't know anything, they just came here to play tricks and pretend to be ghosts.
A middle-aged man ran out from the back of the group and knocked on the door.
"I said Lao Chang, open the door, and our master called the Taoist chief to see what was going on. ”
The man lowered his head helplessly, and Lin Xi asked, "Uncle, are they?"
The man said: "The Fu family invited to catch the demon, but they didn't know anything except shouting, where did they catch the demon." ”
Lin Xi asked the man to sit down and went to open the door himself.
"Are you?" asked the man who knocked on the door.
Lin Xi said innocently and softly, "Uncle, who are you looking for?"
"Oh, who's little baby is going to play aside, don't delay us in doing things. After speaking, he pushed Lin Xi away and walked directly to the man's house and looked at it for a long time.
Lin Xi found that this man came in and looked around not like he was here to ask about things, but as if he was looking for something.
The man searched for a long time and found nothing, so he simply said a few words to the man and went out.
As soon as he went out, the Taoist chief walked in, he walked up to Lin Xi, took out a piece of yellow paper with a hand that did not hold a sword, pasted it on Lin Xi's head, and recited a spell and said: "Okay, I temporarily put this child's soul on his heavenly spirit cover, you don't have to worry, as long as I make a move, there is nothing bad to do." ”
The man said in a deep voice: "Master, that is not my child. ”
I saw this Dao chief say solemnly: "Let the poor Dao take a look." He touched the child that the woman was holding, and pretended not to remember the embarrassment of the mistake he had just made.
Lin Xi reminded with a smile: "Then master, see if I still need to continue to paste this yellow paper?"
The Taoist priest frowned, took a step forward and tore off the yellow paper on Lin Xi's head without saying a word.
The man who had just come in seemed to see a trace of displeasure on the Dao Chief's face, and shouted to Lin Xi: "Whose child is this family who came here to make trouble, if you hinder the Dao Chief's methods, I can't spare you!"
Lin Xi smiled slightly, took a few steps back and said no more.
Seeing that he had retreated, the man said something to the Taoist priest, and asked the man to take a bag of money and hand it over to the Taoist priest.
The man is extremely unwilling, but what can he do to look at his children?
The Taoist priest weighed the bag of money and smiled with satisfaction, and the entourage behind him strode forward to arrange everything that was needed for the practice.
They brought a table, put a small incense burner on it, put out a tablet engraved with Taishang Laojun, lit three green incense, and finally made a kneeling posture and bowed their heads reverently, until the green smoke rose and slowly dissipated in the air.
Lin Xi looked at it from the side and felt very funny, this is obviously the way those charlatans do it, but they are in a hurry to go to the doctor, not to mention the current situation, so that man is also helpless.
The chief walked to the table and threw a handful of yellow paper into the sky, and said, "Taishang Laojun, hurry like a law, break." ”
The peachwood sword slashed in the air, and the yellow paper burned one after another.
If it is in other places, there will inevitably be applause, this is now that the big guys are serious, they can't be more serious, but anyone who has a little insight will not dare to mess around.
Just when this Taoist priest was wielding a peachwood sword, he suddenly knocked down the tablet engraved with Taishang Laojun.
Lin Xi thought that even if he was a charlatan, it would be too bad, he was really stupid, he was even making these mistakes, he could only deceive these simple and honest people.
The woman walked to the inner room with the child in her arms before the Taoist priest began to do so, and when she saw that these were liars, she ignored them and left directly.
The Taoist priest, who was originally embarrassed, now found a reason, and shouted unhappily: "What are you doing here, if you don't believe me, don't come to me, now the ancestor is not happy, what do you think!"
After speaking, the Taoist priest pretended to leave, but in fact, he actually meant to let them add money.
His entourage muttered, "You really deserve it, come and help you, you have such an attitude, I think you should wait by yourself"
The Taoist priest was silent, just stopped doing it, and waited for the man to speak.
Another man stepped forward and said, "Now that Master Zu is gone, if you don't come out with some sincerity, keep the money for your child to do the funeral." ”
The man was extremely angry, if Lin Xi hadn't stopped him, the man would definitely go up to ask for an explanation for his child today.
"Master, do you see that this is enough?" Lin Xi, who had been silent, threw a bag of money on the table, and everyone was shocked when they saw this.
The little Taoist priests standing on the side were shocked, this is a bag full of money, where have they seen it?
In terms of money, Lin Xi has never been short of money, you must know that when Liu Ye said goodbye to Lin Xi, he left him a lot of valuable things, and any one of them was taken out and sold, which was a lot of money.
The Taoist priest looked at the bag full of money, his eyes couldn't take off for a while, and he was too undignified to take it himself, so he hurriedly signaled his subordinates to accept the bag of money.
"Sincerity is enough, twice the result with half the effort, when I report to the ancestor, I will definitely let this child's soul return." After saying that, he began to play the trick he had just played.
"Hmm...... Master, this money bag is weird, I can't pick it up. A middle-aged man in a Taoist robe said.
He grabbed the money bag with both hands, and with all his strength he couldn't move half a minute, and it didn't look like a fake.
The Taoist priest told him to stand back and come up to fetch it himself, but like the man before, he couldn't pick it up.
"You must have used demonic arts! Okay, if you dare to come nonsense in front of your ancestor, you will definitely be punished by heaven!"
The Taoist priest shouted completely regardless of his identity, and his face was extremely angry.
Lin Xi said with an innocent face: "How come, don't talk nonsense, or don't give it a try." ”
The man's face was full of doubts, and he still went over to take the bag of money, but he picked it up very easily, and Lin Xi grabbed it and threw it into the sky and caught it.
"Well, Master, you look very relaxed. ”
The Taoist priest was puzzled and said in a trembling voice: "How come?"
"Is it that your ancestor is happy that he doesn't charge money today and does things for this family for free?" Lin Xi quipped.
"Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, how can there be any reason to do things without giving money. If you don't want money, then Master Zu will be busy to death. The Taoist priest said righteous words, walked in front of Lin Xi and stretched out his hand.
"Makes sense. After Lin Xi finished speaking, he let go, and the bag of money fell quickly, which can be said to have smashed into the hand of the Taoist priest, and then the hand of the Taoist priest smashed on the ground along with the money bag.
There was immediately a small pit on the ground, which showed the weight of the money bag, and the Taoist priest's face was blue with pain, and his hands were also twisted by the pressure, and he wailed.
The people around him quickly came over and wanted to lift the money bag together.
Lin Xi injected a large amount of spiritual energy before letting go of the money bag, and these spiritual energy were nothing to cultivators, but they were a thousand catties to mortals who could not use spiritual energy.
Lin Xi had shown mercy to this Taoist priest and did not inject too much aura, he just wanted to punish this deceitful Taoist priest. You must know that the money he cheated the toiling people, maybe that money is all the family property they used for a lifetime, Lin Xi is extremely disgusted with this kind of person.
"Yo, it seems that your ancestor doesn't want you to take this money, huh?" Lin Xi continued, his words cold.
The Taoist priest has been cheating for so many years, of course he knows what Lin Xi means, and he also knows that he is playing ghosts. The Taoist priest said in a mournful voice: "Master Zu, let me go, I don't dare anymore, I will never accept money for doing good deeds in the future!" After speaking, he looked at Lin Xi again.
Lin Xi's face was calm, without any expression, and said lightly: "Uncle, do you think he is at fault?"
The man also reacted that the young man in front of him was playing tricks, where had he seen this, and said a little scared: "Yes...... Wrong. ”
Lin Xi nodded, walked over and picked up the bag of money, the Taoist priest's hand was bloodless and had been crushed and deformed.
Those little Taoist priests exploded in an instant, and they talked nonsense, Lin Xi only understood the Fu family, and nothing else was clear.
The man walked up to Lin Xi and whispered: "These Taoist priests were invited by the Fu family, if you hurt them, I'm afraid that the Fu family will be unhappy, I think you should let them go." The man found out that the boy was strange, although he was afraid of the boy, but he was more willing to win over the boy in front of him than his own child.
"What will you do in the future?" Lin Xi said softly.
The Taoist priest was so frightened that his face turned bloodless, "Little brother, I will never lie to people in the future." ”
"Well, you get up and leave. ”
After the Taoist priest got up, he almost knelt down to thank Lin Xi for his grace of not killing. Fortunately, he was stopped by Lin Xi first, otherwise he didn't know how much trouble he would have caused.
He told the Taoist priest to stop deceiving people, and the Taoist priest nodded vigorously and was about to leave the place.
Lin Xi coughed, and the Taoist priest immediately asked his subordinates to send back the money he had collected before, and then sped up his pace to flee here.
"Uncle Chang, can I go inside the house and have a look?" Lin Xi asked.
The man quickly reacted, respectfully invited the boy in, he saw the extraordinaryness of the young man, "As long as you can save my baby, let alone enter the house, let me be a cow and a horse." After speaking, he handed Lin Xi the bag of money that he had just deceived and returned to him.
Lin Xi smiled and shook his hand, telling the man that he didn't know if he could help, so he could only do his best.
The man was slightly disappointed, and walked in front to invite Lin Xi into the house.
After Lin Xi entered the house, he didn't go directly to the inner room, he stood at the door and scanned the room, and finally his eyes stayed on the door beam with a trace of crack.
"Uncle Chang, has this door beam been cracked all along?" Lin Xi stared for a moment, he had already determined something, and wanted to confirm it in the man's mouth.
The man didn't seem to notice the crack on the door beam, and he replied: "This crack doesn't seem to have been there before, alas, our house is like this, and it is not strong." ”
Lin Xi sighed and walked towards the inner room, just glanced at each place, and found nothing.
Then the woman took the child back to her previous position and continued to cry softly.
"Alas, don't cry, isn't this Uncle Chen looking for someone to help us? Don't worry. The man went over to comfort his wife.
The woman glanced at her husband, ignored it, and turned her head to look at the child she was carrying, and her face darkened again.
Seeing this, the man didn't dare to say more. After the souls of many children here were snatched away, some elderly people or women in the family left within a few days because of their sadness. The man knew that most of his baby could not be saved, and he could not lose his wife again.
"Hey, this is ......," Lin Xi muttered.
He took a closer look at the aura in the child's body again, there was a chaotic aura just now, and now a few traces of aura in it actually consciously flowed in the direction of the door beam.
Lin Xi looked in that direction, he concentrated his gaze, and there was indeed a small hole in a pillar behind the cracked door beam.
Lin Xi approached and touched the pillar, not feeling anything, someone here was deliberately hiding something.
After the old ape opened up the aura he locked, the aura in his body not only flowed more regularly, but Lin Xi was also sensitive when he went to inspect the local aura.
"Not good. Lin Xi ran out and didn't step out of the cloud until he disappeared from the man's sight.
There was a problem with the man who was following the fake Taoist priest just now!
Lin Xi's speed was not something they could have imagined, and it was effortless.
When he was about to reach the second street, he grabbed the man who had just entered the house.
"What are you going to do, I was sent by the Fu family. The man looked at Lin Xi in horror, and he saw everything that had just happened.
Lin Xi stretched out his hand and motioned for him to hand over his things.
The man continued to shout: "Don't provoke our Fu family!"
Lin Xi said softly: "Give me that thing." I'll do it myself, you'll be ugly. ”
The man was really scared, he saw the fate of the Taoist master, and took out an embroidery needle from his bag.
Lin Xi held it in his hand, and as soon as he stepped on it, he disappeared in front of him.
After Lin Xi left there, he quickly ran towards a hill not far from here, the breathing method in his body was working, and his speed was adjusted to the optimum, like a lightning bolt shuttling through the deserted street.
Behind him, several black shadows stepped one after another, like the fierce ghosts of the underworld, they searched for their prey, and began to hook their souls?
Several ghostly figures followed closely behind Lin Xi.
