Chapter 21: Ghosts
Before the truth of the matter was known, He Weiji did not act rashly, but left quietly.
He returned to Yaojiazhuang and found Yao Yuanwai and his wife again, and asked about what he saw today. "May I ask Yao Yuanwai and Ling Jing, do you know a woman named Wan'er?"
Yao Yuanwai thought for a moment, then glanced at Wang again, and both shook their heads and said, "Wan'er? ”
He Weiji changed another question: "Then dare to ask, has Ling Gongzi ever talked about marriage?"
"You mean that kid Wuji?" As soon as the eldest son was mentioned, there was countless bitterness in Yao Yuanwai's stomach. "This kid doesn't let me and his mother worry at all. Other people's children, at this age, even have their grandchildren in their arms, but he is in a mess all day long, and he doesn't know what he's doing. Last year, the matchmaker in the county was easy to talk about, but he introduced a family affair, and the opposite door was the third lady of Li Daguan's family in the county town. The Li family is the watchman in the county town, and in the past, our family couldn't afford to climb at all, and being able to marry such a daughter-in-law was a bad blessing that he had cultivated for eight lifetimes. I'm ready for the dowry to come to the door to propose, this kid is good, he regretted it on the spot, made a big fuss at home, and said what 'this life is on the avenue, how can it be stained with red dust cause and effect', this, this ...... Alas, it me off enough. ”
He Weiji smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that the "heart of cultivation" of the little junior brother and his brother is really unswerving.
Wang also complained on the side: "Isn't it, it's more than twenty years old, and there is no serious business." He never cares about the family's business, nor does he study to seek fame, and he mutters about some fairies and ghosts every day. Alas, when Elder Xuan Jing accepted the second child as a disciple, why did he confiscate him? ”
Yao Yuanwai hurriedly pushed his wife, signaling He Weiji to still stand here, how could he arrange the elders in front of the Qingxu Immortal Master. Wang also realized that he had lost his words, and immediately saluted and apologized: "Oh, I'm really sorry, I'm a woman, don't be surprised if you say the wrong thing." ”
"Where, where. "How could He Weiji care about such a trivial matter with them.
"Immortal Master, forgive the villain for taking the liberty of asking. Yao Yuanwai hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know if Wuji is possible for him to be accepted by the Qingxu Sect again? ”
"Outside of Yao, the disciples and uncles are all in charge of the apprenticeship, and they did not accept Yao Gongzi as an apprentice, so naturally they have their reasons. As a junior, how can I put my beak in my beak?"
Yao Yuanwai hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "It's the villain who is abrupt, it's the villain who is abrupt." ”
He Weiji shook his head secretly, these two elders were heartbroken for this son, but they still didn't know that Yao Wuji had been stained with something unclean. Wu Buru is right, licking the calf is deep, all living beings are the same, looking at the second elder's hasty and complicated expression, He Weiji thought of his parents again for no reason, and he didn't inform Yao Yuanwai and his wife of what he found, so he said goodbye casually.
Saying goodbye to the second elder, he went to the West Chamber again, met the real person of Kongji, and talked to the master about what he found today.
After listening carefully, Kongji Zhenren snorted, and said slightly approvingly: "You didn't choose to rush in at that time, but came back to report to the teacher, and you did a good job." It seems that cleaning the patriarch's courtyard in the back mountain for half a year has indeed given you a long memory. Then he talked about Yao Wuji's matter itself, and asked He Weiji: "Ji'er, what do you think of this matter?"
"Rhino horn incense is a thing that leads to ghosts, and that 'Wan'er' is so afraid to meet our Qingxu Sect monks, I'm afraid that most of them are not people, but ghosts. Yao Wuji is a mortal, and he has no teacher, so where did he get the method of refining qi? Most of them were also taught by this ghost. However, since it is taught by ghosts, it may not be a method of refining qi, but a technique of harming people. ”
Kongji Zhenren nodded and said: "At the banquet yesterday, Yao Wuji, who was the teacher, was pale, and Yang Yuan was at a loss, so he thought it was caused by the rich family's addiction to wine, and he didn't think much about it. Now it seems that I am afraid that I was sucked by the yang energy of that ghost thing. ”
"Master is right, we have to find a way to save him. ”
"Save him?" "Do you know that there are still a few days left, and the flying boat of Tanglin Station is about to arrive? ”
He Weiji was a little anxious: "But Master, after all, he is the younger brother's brother, and Yao Yuanwai's family is also hospitable to us, so we can't save us from death?"
"It's a matter of urgency, if it's usual, it's natural to eradicate ghosts, but now going to the South China Sea is the top priority, and you can't delay the trip. ”
"Master!" He Weiji clasped his hands into fists and knelt down to the real person in the sky. "Please give the disciple three days, the disciple will definitely get rid of this ghost and return the Yao family to peace!"
Kongji Zhenren smiled: "Where did you get the confidence to get rid of ghosts in three days?"
"Returning to Master, according to what Yao Wuji said, that ghost thing is already injured, and right or wrong is afraid to see my Qingxu Sect monk, it must not be a powerful ghost thing, and the disciple has the confidence to eradicate her alone!"
"It's a bit of a brain. Kongji Zhenren obviously agreed with He Weiji's analysis, but still said: "But the teacher is still not at ease, let Qu Muxi go with you, in case there is a change, the two of them can also take care of each other." ”
As soon as He Weiji heard that Kongji Zhenren was going to send Qu Muxi to accompany him, he immediately objected without thinking: "Such a little evil, there is no need for Senior Brother Qu's help, the disciple is guilty of meritorious service this time, please believe in the disciple and give the disciple a chance!"
The empty pole real man pondered for a moment, and then agreed: "Then let it be." If you really encounter an emergency, don't be reckless, immediately ask for help, the haunted house is not far from here, and the teacher can arrive in a moment. ”
When He Weiji heard this, his heart warmed. Although Master is very strict with himself on weekdays, he still cares about his own safety in the end. When the Nine Heavenly Gang Great Array of the previous two lives was shattered, the scene of the Kongji Zhenren's generous death resurfaced in front of him, and the slightly soothing eyebrows of the Kongji Zhenren at this moment merged together, which suddenly made the corners of He Weiji's eyes moisten. He hurriedly raised his sleeves to say goodbye to Kongji Zhenren, and by the way, he covered his slightly reddened eyes, if he was seen by the master, he was afraid that he would scold himself again.
After inquiring with the servant and learning that Yao Wuji was still in his house, He Weiji hurried out of the house.
He didn't go to the abandoned courtyard first, but went to Guanghe County, found the shopkeeper of the incense and candle shop, and asked about Yao Wuji's sale of rhino horn incense. I learned from the shopkeeper that since three months ago, Yao Wuji would come to the store every once in a while to buy some spices, mostly rhino horn incense, and occasionally others.
The words of the shopkeeper of the incense and candle shop confirmed He Weiji's conjecture, Yao Wuji has been living with ghosts for three months, and if he continues to be entangled, I am afraid that he will not be far from death.
Leaving the incense and candle shop, Wu Unruly asked He Weiji to find a small Taoist temple and borrowed a peachwood sword from the viewer. The Taoist priest didn't want to borrow it, but after He Weiji revealed his identity as a monk of the Zhou Tianjing Realm of the Qingxu Sect, he hurriedly sent the peach wood sword, and it even ranged from one foot to four feet. He Weiji just picked a two-foot-four-inch one, and the rest was still returned to the viewer, until he left, the Taoist priest was still wondering, why did a monk of Zhou Tianjing who was a serious man borrow a peachwood sword from his mortal path.
He Weiji was also puzzled, and asked, "Ancestor, what are you asking me to borrow this thing for?"
"Peach wood can ward off evil spirits. Don't look at this peachwood sword as a magic weapon, but when it comes to exorcism, your Chongyuan sword may not be as good as this peachwood sword. Ancestor, I have walked more bridges than you have walked, and I can't be wrong to listen to Ancestor. ”
He Weiji sighed: "If you talk about exorcism and evil spirits, it is still the most suitable Five Thunder Fa, but unfortunately I don't understand, otherwise I don't need the help of such external objects." ”
Wu Wuun snorted: "Five Thunder Rectification, isn't your Senior Sister Ye knowing? Why don't you find her to exorcise ghosts together?"
"It's just a trivial matter, I'm enough for one person, Ancestor, you just look at it. While speaking, He Weiji had already come to the abandoned "haunted house", and without saying a word, he kicked open the locked door.
The room was empty, there was no half a figure, only an offering table, a tablet, an incense burner, and a few rhino horn incense.
