Chapter 110: God of All Spirits
"Hey, who's so bored and puts two paper figures in the yard. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The next morning, when Li Xiuyuan got up, he had just walked out of the room, but he saw two papier-mΓ’chΓ© figures of golden boys and girls standing in the courtyard outside the door.
These two paper figures are exquisitely made, there are clothes and hats, and gold and silver jewelry are painted on them, which is fortunately daytime, if you can't see clearly at night, there is really a pair of golden boys and girls walking on the road.
"Young master, the slave went and threw away these two paper figures, looking unlucky. Du Chunhua, who had finished serving her young master and washing, came over and said.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two paper figures and said with a smile, "It's a pity to lose it, it just so happens that there are two targets for practicing arrows in the courtyard, so let's put them in the courtyard, and go back and take these two paper figures to practice archery." β
"Yes, young master. Although Du Chunhua was puzzled, she still responded and went down to move the two paper figures away.
"It seems that when I was asleep, some people were still unwilling at night, and continued to use some crooked ways to deal with me, but I inadvertently broke the Dao technique, so I left two paper figures here. β
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two paper figures that were moved away by Du Chunhua, and realized the problem in his heart.
From the two paper ghosts scaring people before, to the two paper figures in this courtyard, even the most stupid people know that this is a person's doing.
And there is no need to guess, Li Xiuyuan also knows that this has nothing to do with that bald man.
"Fluttershy, help me get to Lu Bo and ask Lu Bo to help me inquire about someone in the city, a bald Taoist priest. Li Xiuyuan said.
"Young master, wait a minute, the slave and maid will go. Fluttershy cheerfully responds, smiles at her young master, and trots away.
Since the bald Taoist is a Taoist priest in the city, it must not be difficult to find, after all, such an obvious Taoist will know where it will be after a little inquiry.
After a while.
Lu Bo inquired about the news and came to report.
At this time, he saw that in the courtyard, Li Xiuyuan was wearing civilian clothes, holding a pale gold bow, stepping on arrows, and slowly pulling the big bow away.
"The eldest young master is so strong, this bow should have three stones, no number of heroes can make such a bow. Lu Bo complimented. He is an old servant of the Li family, well-informed, but now that he is old, he still has some eyesight.
Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "It's a three-stone strong bow, but now I think this bow is starting to be a little lighter, and recently my strength has increased again." β
"The old slave knows that there is a good bow-maker in the city, or maybe the old slave asked him to make a bow for the eldest young master?" Lu Bo said.
"No need, the three-stone strong bow is enough, and I will become a fierce general if I open a strong bow again, and practicing arrows is like practicing the heart, paying attention to an artistic conception, not necessarily as the ability to kill the enemy. Li Xiuyuan smiled, and the strong bow in his hand loosened.
"Huh~!"
Finger-thick arrows flew out, instantly piercing the head of a paper figure a hundred paces away, nailing it to a large tree next to the courtyard wall.
The bow is so strong that it almost wants to pass through the trees.
"The young master has the ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps. Lu Bo shouted.
Li Xiuyuan put down his bow, moved his arm and said, "Lu Bo, don't laugh at me, I can only shoot people a hundred steps away, where can I shoot leaves, a hundred steps through the poplar is the ability to raise a young man, I can't reach it after another ten years of practice, by the way, how did I ask Lu Bo to inquire about what Lu Bo did?"
"The bald Daoist that the young master is looking for is the Qingfeng Daoist of the Qingfeng Daoist Temple in Guobei City. Lu Bo said.
"Very good, let's go and visit this Taoist leader today. Li Xiuyuan nodded.
This person is just selling talismans to cast spells to scare people, this person is an evil way, and he must not be used to him.
After knowing the place, Li Xiuyuan wasted no time, and after making some preparations, he took the two handmaidens Fluttershy and Du Chunhua out of the house.
Guobei City is a big city.
It is much more lively than the county, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians and businessmen on the road, and travelers from all directions gather here.
At present, the world of Liaozhai is prosperous, and it has not yet reached the day of chaos.
Fluttershy and Du Chunhua follow behind their young master every inch of the way, for fear of accidentally losing them.
However, Du Chunhua, who has never seen much of the world, is like a child at the moment, and can't help but look around, looking at all kinds of interesting things.
Soon, the breeze arrived.
"This is it. Li Xiuyuan looked at the plaque of this Taoist temple, made sure that he had made no mistake, and immediately stepped into the Taoist temple.
The Taoist temple is not big, but the incense is quite vigorous, the incense in the incense burner in front of a god statue is pervasive, and there are people in the city who have entered the Taoist temple one after another to worship the gods and incense, donate money, pray for the blessing of the gods, and live a long life.
It is a very common time to worship God in this world, from the dignitaries to the peddlers and pawns, all of whom have the habit of entering the temple to burn incense.
Of course, Li Xiuyuan also understands this habit, because this is not superstition, but the gods will really manifest their spirits.
"Hey, what kind of god is this, why have you never seen it?"
Li Xiuyuan suddenly noticed the statue on the high platform, the appearance was a little familiar, it was different from the ordinary statue, it was a bit like the appearance of the bald man.
Yes, like a bald man.
The only difference is that this idol is wearing a vermilion official uniform and an official hat, which is not the costume of a Taoist at all.
A Taoist temple ** worships such a god, which feels a bit nondescript.
"This son, don't be disrespectful to the gods, here is the god of all spirits, the god of all spirits here is very effective, no matter what you ask for, you can try all the spirits. When a pilgrim who worshiped God heard Li Xiuyuan's words, he couldn't help but say something.
All Souls?
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, his face immediately turned strange.
How can there be such a god, this is probably made up by this bald Taoist himself, listen to this name and know that it is not an orthodox god, nine times out of ten it is the little hairy god that this Taoist wants to make incense.
"Old man, there are no gods of all spirits in this world, I think most of them are fake. Li Xiuyuan said.
The old pilgrim said: "How can it be fake, this god of all spirits is true, last year when my house was haunted, I worshiped this god of all spirits, and asked for a talisman from the chief of the Qingfeng Dao here, so as to eliminate the ghosts and get peace." β
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help but think of his haunting last night.
I'm afraid that this old pilgrim's house is haunted and fake, and it was deliberately made by this bald man to earn incense and money in the city.
"By the way, this old man, do you know where the Taoist master in this temple is now?"
Li Xiuyuan didn't continue to talk to this old pilgrim about whether this god of all spirits was effective or not.
"Oh, you said that the Qingfeng Dao is long, I saw the Qingfeng Dao chief in that side room before, telling fortunes and solving people's doubts. The old pilgrim said.
"Thank you. Li Xiuyuan gave a salute, and then walked to the side room of the Taoist temple.
At this time, in the side room of the Taoist temple, a Taoist man held a whisk in his hand, sitting on a futon, telling fortunes for pilgrims.
"Dao Chief, you are really accurate, the ten taels of silver lost by my family fell in the backyard, if it weren't for Dao Chief, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find it. A pilgrim said gratefully, then put a tael of silver in the merit box next to him, and then left with a thousand thanks.
Then another pilgrim hurriedly greeted him and said, "Daoist, my wife is pregnant this month, and I ask you to calculate whether the fetus in my wife's womb is male or female." β
The bald man stroked his beard and smiled, and opened his mouth to say, "Your family is lucky, it's a boy." β
The pilgrim was overjoyed, thanked him again and again, and left with three taels of silver.
"Dao Chief, we meet again, there is one thing I want Dao Chief to solve the doubts in my heart, I don't know if I can disturb Dao Chief?" Li Xiuyuan said.
The bald Taoist glanced at Li Xiuyuan, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand to invite the remaining pilgrims in the house away, and then said: "It turned out to be the son yesterday, I don't know what happened to visit the poor Dao today?"
After speaking, he looked at Li Xiuyuan with a bit of suspicion,
Yesterday, he cast the Dao Method, and the first time the Dao Method was successfully cast, he was suddenly broken, and this second time, the third time when he cast the Dao Method, it was directly like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no reaction at all.
I don't know if this scholar has been frightened by the ghost.
