Chapter 10: The Destiny of the World
"Master, are we still going to enter this laurel forest?" After hesitating for a while, Ji'an asked softly.
"We're afraid we won't find the old man even if we go in. Li Yunlong replied helplessly, squatting on the ground with a sad face.
As the sun set in the west, the sky gradually darkened, and the helpless master and servant stood by the laurel grove and sighed.
"Old fairy, please come out and meet us. Li Yunlong suddenly knelt on the edge of the forest and shouted to the laurel forest.
"Old fairy, go out of the mountain to save my son-in-law. Ji'an also knelt beside his master and shouted at Lin Nei.
The shouts of the two continued for a moment, and there was still silence in the woods, but in the mountains and forests outside the trees, there was a tiger roar.
Hearing the roar of the tiger in the mountains and forests, the faces of the two people on the side of Guilin sank, and at the same time stopped the shouting in their mouths, got up and looked at the mountains and forests behind them, only to see a big tiger with white hair all over his body, staring at them not far away.
After the white tiger appeared, like the giant python before, it stopped not far from the two of them and stared at them without advancing. The two of them stood on their hair and looked at the white tiger, standing motionless, cautiously staring at the white tiger not far away.
"Stand down~" At this moment, an old voice came out from the Katsura forest. The white tiger seemed to be human, and after hearing the old man's words, he shook his head, turned around and disappeared into the woods.
Seeing the white tiger leaving, Li Yunlong and Ji'an hurriedly turned around and looked into the laurel forest. I saw a white-haired old man wearing a blue robe, neatly dressed, and carrying a yellow cloth bag on his side, walking out of the laurel forest, this person was the tattered old man he had seen in the afternoon.
"Why haven't you left yet?" said the blue-robed old man as he walked out of the woods.
"Old fairy, you have finally come out, please save the child. Li Yunlong hurriedly knelt on the ground after seeing the old man, and Ji'an beside him also hurriedly knelt down when he saw this.
"Get up, I'm an outsider, I can't afford to wait for such a great gift. The blue-robed old man picked up the two masters and servants of the Li family closely, and said lightly, "Let's go, take me to your house to have a look." ”
"Thank you, old fairy. Hearing the words of the old Taoist, Li Yunlong, who got up, saluted respectfully.
"I'm not an immortal, the old Taoist surname is Lai, and the name is Changsheng, you just call me Lai, old man. The old Taoist priest had a calm face, and he didn't seem to care about the salutation.
Led by the old man, the three returned to the foot of the mountain when it was dark. Next to the carriage, the four maids of the Li Mansion were full of anxiety, and when they saw the three people coming down from the mountain, their worried faces returned to calm.
On the way back to Ziwu Town, Li Yunlong and Ji'an were driving outside, and Lao Dao, who was sitting in the car with the four maids, let out bursts of laughter, his old voice kept coming from the car, and his words were full of provocative and unrestrained.
"Master, is Ai Banxian talking about this person?" Ji'an, who was outside the car, heard the sound in the car and asked quietly.
"I don't know. Li Yunlong shook his head helplessly and responded noncommittally.
"I said Master Li, don't you believe in the poor way?" Lai Laodao pulled the curtain with one hand and stretched out his head, and asked sharply.
"Master Lai, what you said is there, if I can't believe you, I will come to invite you. Li Yunlong turned his head and hurriedly explained.
"That's good, let's drive, it's too late, your son-in-law has an accident, don't blame the old way, I didn't make a move. Daoist Lai nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand and patted Ji'an on the head, and reprimanded sharply, "Boy, learn from your master, don't think that I can't hear what you say." ”
"I'm sorry Master Lai, I don't dare anymore. Ji'an smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Little girl, stretch out your hand, the old way will give you a life. The debauched laughter of the old man Lai, who got back into the car, came out, and in the midst of his obscene speech, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Li Mansion in Meridian Town.
"Master Lai, it's here. After the car was parked, Li Yunlong shouted into the car.
"It's supposed to be the end of the day. The old Taoist priest got out of the car, looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, and then said, "Take me into the house to see your son-in-law." ”
"Okay, Master Lai, please come here. Master Li nodded and led the old Taoist priest to Li Ge's room. When the two entered the room, they saw Ding Qiaoqiao sitting at the head of the bed feeding his son, Li Yunlong said happily, "Ge'er, are you okay?"
"Dad~" The little boy of the Li family called lightly, noticed the old Taoist priest beside his father, and couldn't help but look carefully.
"Xianggong, is this the master that Ai Banxian said?" Ding Qiaoqiao also noticed the visitor, and saw that he was wearing a Taoist robe, which was quite a bit of a fairy wind and bones, and hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand, got up and gave a salute and said, "Qiaoqiao has seen the master." ”
"No need to be polite. Lai Laodao nodded, walked straight to the table on the side, picked up the teacup, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all, and then said with a long sigh of relief, "I'm starving, go and prepare some food for me." ”
"Okay, I'll go. Mrs. Li answered and hurriedly walked out of the door.
"Master Lai, do you need me to prepare something? Master Li walked to the table, thought for a while, and then continued, "There is yellow paper, cinnabar, and cow tears in the house now, if you still need anything, I will do it now." ”
"No need~ just prepare some food for me. The old Taoist priest refused, got up and walked to the bed with his hands behind his back to look at Li Ge, and then walked to the door and pinched his fingers and silently recited the incantation.
After a while, the old Taoist priest went back to the room and sat down at the table, and whispered to himself, "It's still early, and there will be a vision when the child is young." ”
"Master Lai, did you mean that the devil will only come when he comes?" Li Yunlong couldn't help but ask when he heard this.
"yes, it's time to do it. The old Taoist priest replied, turned his head to look at Li Ge on the bed, was silent for a moment, sighed and asked, "Junior, do you know why your child caused the ghost trouble?"
"I don't know about this, my family is young, rarely go out, more than ten days ago when I fell into the lake during an outing, and I haven't been out of the house since I woke up. Until yesterday, he suddenly had a strange illness, I invited two doctors in the town but could not find the cause, and later invited Ai Banxian to know that he was haunted by ghosts. ”
"That's the case, then you tell me about this kid's birthday. The old Taoist priest asked lightly.
"My family Ge'er was born on the fifth day of March in the fourth year of Jiajing, and the time of birth was less than two minutes. Master Li thought about it and said his son's birthday.
"On the fifth day of the third month of the fourth year of Jiajing, the year of Yiyou, the month of Gengchen, and the day of the first day, the second hour of the second hour ordered the lord to leave the fire, and avoid water..."
Seeing this, Master Li didn't dare to disturb, and sat quietly looking at the old Taoist, only to see that the latter's face slowly changed from the initial calm to a surprise, and then from a surprise to a surprise.
"This life is supposed to be a dead person, is it this little guy? Yes, it should be, I finally found it, after so many years of waiting, I finally found the life of the world today. The surprised old Taoist priest suddenly burst out laughing, and then he ran outside the house, knelt on the ground, looked up to the sky, and sighed secretly, "Master, the apprentice has found the person you said. ”
