Yixunyang is located in the north of Jiangxi, the south bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, known as the "mouth of the three rivers, the land of the world's eyebrows", because of the abundant water source, countless fertile fields, and the south of the Yangtze River "land of fish and rice" said.

Yi Fan sat on the back of the old donkey, let it move forward slowly, and finally turned over a mountain, looked at the village under the mountain in the faint morning mist, patted the donkey's head, and let it move faster.

After this village, it must not be far from Xunyang.

Half a month ago, he left Luling, and he didn't stop, all the way, just to avoid military disasters, but also to avoid trouble, which involved cultivators, he didn't want to touch it, let alone Feiya Mountain.

Once he learned that he had killed the disciples of Feiya Mountain, unless he was really a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, he would not be able to run away if he wanted to.

With a clear roar, the disgusted ghost jumped down from the mountain forest, carrying a bunch of unknown fruits in his hand, in this mountain, it is the most worrying to eat and drink.

At sunrise, not far from the village, a river stretched from a distance, there were village women washing clothes by the river, and they were not afraid to see Yi Fan, but looked at it boldly, and even laughed.

Judging by its appearance, it does not look like the Han people.

A village woman shouted, "Dao Chief, where are you going?"

Yi Fan: "Several female laymen are polite, but they are a little tired and want to rest in the village for a day. ”

The village woman said: "It turns out to be a Taoist who travels in the clouds, then you better hurry up, outsiders are not allowed to enter the village." ”

Yi Fan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, he has not encountered this matter uncommonly, some villages are more xenophobic, and these years are more chaotic, and it is normal for the villagers to be vigilant.

After looking at the sky, it was okay to rush to Xunyang County, so I didn't force it, and continued to drive with a donkey.

After walking for a while, I heard hurried footsteps behind me, and then someone shouted: "Dao Chief, Dao Chief, go slowly." ”

Yi Fan turned around, and a woman chased after him with a wooden basin, and when she came to him, she panted and said, "Dao Chief, if you don't dislike it, go to my house and sit down." ”

said, for fear that Yi Fan would not agree, and said: "Tube full, tube full." ”

Yi Fan touched his nose and was a little speechless, do I look like the kind of person who can't eat enough? Seeing the flickering eyes of the woman, he knew that there must be something to ask for, hesitated, no matter what, he took a look first, then nodded and said, "Then it will trouble the female donor." ”

The village woman smiled: "Where is it, Dao Chief, please come with me." ”

The village is not big, living by the mountain, the houses are mostly built with trees, but also chic, the village woman's family lives at the end of the village, there are a few rooms, relatively dilapidated, do not enter the house, you see the outside pasted with festive costumes.

Seeing Yi Fan's doubts, the village woman explained: "My little sister will get married tomorrow, so she has to dress up to be festive, and the poor family doesn't pay so much attention to it, so she can only do this." ”

When I entered the house, an old woman greeted her, and when she saw Yi Fan, she frowned and asked the woman, "What is this?"

The village woman hurriedly introduced: "This is my mother, this is the Taoist chief who passed by the village, and she came to rest in the village." ”

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by the village woman, who gave her a look and did not let the old woman continue.

After arranging Yi Fan's residence and entering the house, the old woman pulled the village woman: "Du'er, can you bring outsiders to the village so well?

The village woman smiled helplessly: "Mother, do you think I want to, is this still not for the little sister? Tomorrow the little sister will get married, who knows if she will meet those evil spirits again, if this person really has the ability to keep the little sister married safely, what are those rumors." ”

The old woman wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed, and said, "Since you are invited, then let's entertain you, I will go to your aunt's house next door to borrow some salt, and wait for your father to come back at noon, and then discuss and discuss." ”

The two didn't know that what they thought was a secret conversation was clearly heard by Yi Fan, which also made Yi Fan relieved, why the village woman invited him to come to the house as a guest, it turned out that there was a demon at work.

At noon, an old man came back, his personality was also enthusiastic, and he didn't know where to take out two taels of old wine, just a few side dishes, and pulled Yi Fan to drink.

The village woman brought a bowl from the kitchen, with two eggs in it, and carefully pushed it in front of Yi Fan: "Dao Chief, it's just cooked, you eat it while it's hot." ”

Yi Fan nodded, looked at a few side dishes in front of him, there was no oily meat, and then looked at the two eggs in the bowl in front of him, knowing that the family had given him the best.

There was not much wine in the two taels, the two were not drunk, the old man did not say anything, and the village woman did not ask.

In the evening, a young girl came out of the room, and the village woman introduced: "This is my little sister, I will get married tomorrow, and it is not good to go out to meet guests during the day, and I ask the Taoist chief to forgive me." ”

Yi Fan waved his hand and smiled: "The female donor doesn't have to be polite. ”

He knew that many places had their own customs, and he had seen a lot of them, which was much stranger than this.

Now that the girl has come out, it must be time to ask him for help.

Sure enough, after the introduction, the village woman glanced at the old woman and the old man, and under the oil lamp at dusk, her face hesitated, and said, "Dao Chief, tomorrow the little sister will get married, but there is a reluctant invitation." ”

"Oh?" Yi Fan said, "Female donor, please speak." ”

Seeing that Yi Fan was not unhappy, the village woman breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Don't hide it from the chief, in our village for a hundred years, but strange things, sometimes there are married daughters, who are robbed by evil spirits halfway, although it is not often, but it always happens, and tomorrow the little sister will get married, I want to ask the Taoist to escort all the way to ensure that my little sister gets married safely." ”

Evil snatching relatives?

Yi Fan's heart moved, and he asked, "Do you know what kind of evil it is?"

The village woman shook her head and said: "The last time I robbed my relatives, it was the year before last, I heard people, I saw black smoke billowing out, strange sounds came, everyone was afraid, so they ran for their lives, and when everyone gathered, only the bride was gone." ”

Hearing this, Yi Fan had a definition in his heart, this so-called evil must be a little ghost, confusing people with ghost mist, and then kidnapping the bride.

So he said, "It's a small thing, but it's just a little ghost." ”

As he spoke, he took out a 'small evil talisman' from the law bag, handed it over and said: "This is a talisman drawn by the poor road, the general monster sneakily does not dare to approach, it can be used to protect the family in the town, bless the peace, tomorrow you put it away closely, once there is an abnormality, it will automatically punish the evil." “

The village woman was overjoyed: "Thank you for your mercy." “

......

The next morning, the outside was lively, and the groom, a young man from a neighboring village, came with a few people carrying chairs and cabinets to greet them.

The old man and the old woman checked the table, chairs and wardrobe, chattered a few times, and then passed, and after the young man kowtowed, he asked the village woman to take the girl down.

The girl, dressed in festive clothes, bowed her head in shame when she saw the young man, and hid behind the village woman.

When the old woman saw that it was not early, and was afraid that it would affect the hour, she brought a bowl from the kitchen with a few eggs in it, and put it in the girl's hand: "If you are hungry on the way, eat one." ”

After all, it was time to go, and the young man pulled the wheelbarrow, let the bride sit on it, and under the tears of the old woman, gradually traveled away.

Yi Fan stood aside and didn't follow, and after they walked away, he arched his hand and said, "A few donors, Poor Dao has also resigned." ”

The village woman hurriedly sent each other, but was rejected by Yi Fan, led the old donkey, and went away with the disgusting ghost.

"Du'er, do you think that talisman is really useful?" the old woman worried.

"I hope it's useful, just ask the Bodhisattva to bless you, don't let my little sister encounter those evil spirits. The village woman sighed.

It's not that she hasn't thought about calling more people to send her little sister to get married, but it's more than ten miles away, there is no money, and no one will help, not to mention this kind of thing, there is no hurry to hide, how can there be a reason to make up.

I know my own things, I got married, and I went home to help this time, which has made my mother-in-law's family unhappy.
