Chapter 133: Daoist
When the eldest lady took Wu Ming and Ying Ning through the city gate, the soldiers still blocked it, and the eldest lady didn't care about this, stared at her, and shouted at the chief Wu who was in charge.
"Xu Xiaosan, when you were a child, you stole steamed buns in my kitchen to eat, and now you pretend to be in front of me! My son was taken out by the monster, that's your hair, you soldiers don't catch monsters, and you still stop the Taoist here, don't allow him to go over for my son, you kill me too!!"
The eldest lady's sprinkling really worked, and the Wu Chang surnamed Xu suddenly frowned and waved his hand, signaling the eldest lady to take people into the city. The soldiers on the side also opened their eyes and closed their eyes, watching the eldest lady lead Wu Ming and Ying Ning into the city.
After entering the city, Wu Ming came to Ying Ning's side: "I won't do anything, will I find a chance to slip away later?"
Ying Ning shook her head: "Don't be afraid, I'm familiar with pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, but it's just for show, and the main purpose of the ritual is to make the living feel at ease." Just go back and listen to my command, and earn some pocket money by the way. ”
Wu Ming and Ying Ning followed the eldest lady forward, now the entire Jiangdu City is under martial law everywhere, and teams of soldiers can be seen patrolling everywhere on the street, the atmosphere is very depressing, Wu Ming looked around to check the terrain, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, the patrol in this Jiangdu City is too strict, I'm afraid it is difficult to act at will.
The three of them walked through the streets, although it was daytime, but all the way on both sides of the road every house was closed doors, there were few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally one or two people were also bowing their heads and hurrying.
Not long after, the eldest lady took the two of them to a remote courtyard in Dongcheng, and the eldest lady pushed open the courtyard door and let Wu Ming inside: "Daoist, please look, this is my hard work." ”
Wu Ming stepped into the courtyard gate and looked inside, two tables in the courtyard were put together, and there was a person lying on it, covered by a white cloth, and only one outline could be seen.
Wu Ming and Ying Ning stepped forward, Ying Ning stretched out his hand to open the corner of the white cloth, and below was a dead young man, with a big hole in his chest, his flesh and blood were blurred, the blood in his body had been exhausted, and his face was as blue as a rock.
Wu Ming frowned, he was able to directly break his chest and dig out people's hearts, ordinary people would definitely not be able to do this, he turned his head and glanced at Ying Ning, and lowered his voice: "Did the monster do it?"
Ying Ning said in an inaudible voice: "It doesn't matter what it does, we just care about exceedance, regardless of catching demons." ”
Wu Ming nodded, this monster has won people's hearts, it must be fierce and abnormal, thousands of elite soldiers in Jiangdu City can't catch it, I'm afraid it's not easy to mess with.
This trip to Jiangdu City is for treasure, more things are better than less things, and it is better not to make extraneous branches.
The eldest lady walked up from behind, with a hint of apology on her face: "Dao Chang really doesn't hide it, my family is poor and can't get anything valuable, originally Li Dao Chang in the city agreed to spend it for my son, but it takes ten taels of silver, I really can't take out this money, so I can only go to the city to find you." ”
Ying Ning heard the meaning of the eldest mother's words, and replied: "The rules handed down by the ancestors of the master, the law cannot be done for free, otherwise it will appear that the people are insincere, and the deceased will rarely die, how much money can you come up with, auntie?"
The eldest lady frowned and gritted her teeth: "I only have six or seven taels of broken silver in my house, and some loose money......
"Well said. Ying Ning nodded, "We only charge you five taels of silver, plus a night here." ”
The eldest lady was immediately overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly.
Wu Ming secretly pouted on the side, it seems that Ying Ning usually does this kind of deceptive thing, and he flickers one by one.
At this moment, a voice sounded from the door: "Aunt Li, have you thought about it, it's just ten taels of silver, in exchange for your son's death in Bliss, this is not the time to worry about money!"
Wu Ming and Ying Ning turned their heads to look at the door at the same time, only to see a green-robed Taoist priest standing outside the threshold, wearing a Nanhua scarf, three locks of short beard, and a pair of small eyes that were half-open and half-squinted, looking a little obscene.
The Taoist priest at the door was also stunned when he saw Wu Ming and Ying Ning in the courtyard, and then there was a hostility in his eyes.
Everyone is a Taoist priest, and the so-called peers are enemies.
Aunt Li waved her hand to the Taoist priest at the door on the side: "Daoist Li, I really can't take out ten taels of silver." These two Taoist leaders I invited from outside the city, and they are willing to spend time for my son, so I won't bother you. ”
Daoist Li at the door suddenly changed his face when he heard this, he was the only Taoist priest in Jiangdu City, and he was usually in charge of all kinds of legal affairs in the city, but he didn't expect that someone would come to the door to grab business now!
Daoist Li sneered twice, walked into the courtyard with square steps, and looked Wu Ming and Ying Ning up and down a few times: "This Daoist brother looks very angry, dare to ask which Taoist temple is named?"
Ying Ning on the side hurriedly replied: "My master is a descendant of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and his name is in the Qingfeng Temple in Hexi, and he usually travels all over the world to eliminate disasters and solve problems for people. ”
"Qingfeng View?" Li Daochang frowned and repeated, Hexi is hundreds of miles away from here, and he doesn't know if there is such a Qingfeng View.
Li Daochang snorted coldly, turned to look at the eldest lady on the side: "Aunt Li, your son was killed by a monster, and there is a demonic aura entrenched in his body, if it is handed over to some charlatans who can only do three-legged cat kung fu, I am afraid that not only will the dead not be able to die, but there will also be a catastrophe of corpse transformation!"
Daochang Li's intimidation suddenly made the eldest lady change color, she turned her head to look at Wu Ming and Ying Ning, and began to hesitate.
After all, these two people were found from the side of the road, and there is no bottom in the heart of whether they can do it.
Ying Ning laughed and spoke on the side: "This Taoist seems to be a fairy wind and Dao bone, he must have obtained the true inheritance, now that the demons are rampant in the city, why don't you go to catch demons, but come here to slander my master's reputation?"
"Ignorant child, how do you know that I didn't go to catch the demon, it's just that the monster was cunning and escaped by it!" Li Dao was furious, although he had a little kung fu, but the monster in this city was not ordinary, and he would never dare to provoke it.
Ying Ning casually took out a book from the bag beside him: "This is my master's codex, which records that we have walked in all directions and practiced more than 100 people, each with a detailed place and time, if you don't believe it, you can check it one by one against this book." ”
Ying Ning is just talking nonsense, the book in her hand is also full of ghost drawings, her hand is mainly to stabilize the eldest lady on the side, if Li Daochang really wants to check, she has other means.
Li Daochang snorted angrily, brushed his sleeves away, and dropped a sentence before walking at the door: "Aunt Li, I persuade you with good words, but you are obsessed, your son has been dead for three days, I calculate that he will definitely change tonight, and then you can do it yourself!"
Li Daochang pushed open the courtyard door heavily, hitting the door frame with a loud sound, and then strode away.
Ying Ning didn't care, and said to the aunt on the side: "Don't worry, auntie, my master has done all kinds of rituals, you can help me arrange the mourning hall now to ensure that your son's body is safe at night." ”
The eldest lady smiled reluctantly, and now she can only pin her hopes on these two foreign Taoist leaders, hoping that the foreign monks will really recite the scriptures.
The eldest lady went into the house to get the incense candles and paper flags that had been bought, and Wu Ming came to Ying Ning's side: "That Taoist priest just now is very wrong, I'm afraid he will make trouble at night." ”
Ying Ning nodded: "Look at his hair bun is a descendant of the Maoshan faction, this Taoist priest may be able to drive away the corpse, and I will ask the eldest mother to buy some rooster blood and come back in a while, be prepared." ”
Wu Ming couldn't help but look at Ying Ning differently: "I can't see that you know a lot." ”
Ying Ning snorted: "I lived with my ghost mother for ten years when I was a child, and I know a little about these things in the yin and yang worlds, otherwise how to walk the rivers and lakes." ”
