It was getting late, and it was the time for the crops to pull out the seedlings, and the farmers were busy with their farming plans, so they all rested early. Most of the people who wander in the village are lazy people and lonely old widowers, and they are used to being tired. Seeing Hu Buwei fleeing into the village with billowing dust and smoke, although he was quite surprised, he couldn't come up.

Hu Buwei ran to the north of the village, found a family with lights on, and stayed overnight.

There was only one old couple in that family, who had no children and no daughters in their knees, and the old couple supported each other to survive. Seeing that Hu Buwei was wearing a Taoist robe, he knew that he was a Taoist warlock, and he was extremely respectful. After the meal was heated for him to eat, the old woman cleaned up the side house and laid a new cotton bedding, which made Hu Buwei feel quite upset.

This night, Hu Buwei slept somewhere, tossing and turning, restless. All I thought about was the strange things that had happened to me that day, and sure enough, the catastrophe had never been a one-way street, and these two bad things had come together. Hu Buwei secretly lamented his bad luck and was very depressed. But when I thought that I had obtained nine taels of silver, I was hiding it in my arms, heavy and warm, and I felt excited and proud. This mixture of joy and sorrow, sighing and sighing, stirred him up without sleep. It wasn't until the morning rooster sang that he was extremely tired and fell asleep.

By the dawn of the day, Hu Buwei was still asleep in the bed. The old couple is old and can't sleep well, so they get up at dawn and are busy, burning wood and cooking. and neither will they wake him up.

Hu Buwei was really tired the day before yesterday, and he fell asleep this night, and he didn't wake up until the third pole of the day. The owner of the house, Yu Old Man, had already eaten, and set up a small wooden table in the main hall of the thatched house, and set aside some food for him to keep. After Hu Buwei washed up briefly, he began to eat. Old man Yu found a small stool to sit on the side and talked with him sentence by sentence.

By the time Hu Buwei finished eating, he also knew about the situation in the village. It turns out that this forest village has been around for a long time, but due to the remoteness of the local area, and the rocks and barren soil, it is not easy to cultivate seeds, and no one is willing to move here to suffer. Only the original seventy or eighty families followed the tradition and exchanged marriages. In the past 100 years, the village has not been prosperous, and the old people have passed away more than the new ones have filled, and they have gradually declined. Now there are only forty or fifty households, and the population is about 100. Most of the villagers make a living by farming and hunting, raising poultry and livestock in exchange for what they need. There are also those with smart brains, who seek some ways to sell themselves. Fortunately, the government has been peaceful for many years, and the taxation and forced labor are still light.

The two talked about some people's livelihood and current affairs, quite a fate, that the old man is old, but there are also some things to see, talking about Daogui alchemy, learning Taoist academic history, about a little bit of the doorway, Hu Buwei is afraid of being seen through by him, often lead away from the topic, avoid talking about it.

After eating, Hu Buwei took out the copper coin, and wanted to give the old man food and lodging expenses. Old man Yu insisted on refusing to accept it, saying that entertaining passing guests was a trivial matter, and if he collected a fee because of this, he would have wasted his heart of doing good and accumulating virtue. Hu Buwei didn't want to go, thanked him again and again, and finally gave him a few talismans. Old man Yu was grateful and accepted it.

This talisman was obtained by Hu Buwei from the "Great Yuan Lian Zhenjing", which is quite effective. His reputation in the Xijiang area is not fortunate, and it is largely due to this. The village husband and the village woman saw that his drawing was effective, and pushed the rest, thinking that his feng shui ability to subdue demons was also powerful. How do you know that it is a big mistake, although Hu Buwei studied in the book, what "thunder charm", "demon suppression charm" and "life continuation charm" have all been learned, and the painting is the same as in the book, but it is invalid. Only this "fixed talisman" is handy.

The old man and his wife sent him to the door, and they refused to return. Although he only stayed overnight for one night, he seemed to be friends who had been friends for decades.

I didn't think about it, and when I came to the barn outside the door, I saw that the chickens and ducks were there, but the flower-footed donkey was gone. Hu doesn't complain in his heart, and he can only cry out in vain. I think it must have been in the middle of the night, someone came over and secretly led out. At that time, Hu Buwei was distracted, and he came out one after another, where would he have thought that someone would come to steal. The owner of the house is old and his eyes and ears are not as good as they used to be, which provides a great opportunity for donkey thieves.

Hu Buwei is very remorseful, and there is nothing he can do. Seeing that there are still nearly 300 miles away from home, it is impossible to walk back on foot. Not to mention that there are ghosts on the road (at this time he has become a frightened bird, but he feels that there are dangers everywhere, and there are ghosts everywhere), even if he walks for three or five days, he is tired and tired to death. But staying here is not a long-term solution, as soon as it is not far from Wutong Village, the ghosts who lock the town will kill them at some point. Second, the monster that 'committed the investigation' is not easy to deal with, and it is still not out of danger. After thinking about it before and after, his heart was full of remorse, and a thin face became red and white.

Old man Yu knew his concerns, and said, "Sir, don't worry, there are horse traders in my village, but he gets up every morning and goes out of the market every morning and can't come back until evening." As long as the gentleman has enough money, he can buy a horse and drive home. ”

"Is there a horse seller in this village?" Hu Buwei heard that he was saved, his eyes lit up, and he asked with his spirits.

Old man Yu nodded yes. He also said: "A good horse can be bought for three taels of silver, and if the gentleman does not want to buy a good horse, he can get a medium horse for only one or two taels of silver." ”

"I want more than one or two......" Hu Buwei thought that he was going to break his fortune, and it was very painful. But think about it, if you don't get out of danger as soon as possible, there will be mountains of gold and silver, and it will be in vain to suffer without blessings. It's a big matter to save your life, and you can't take care of it much at this time.

The horse dealer would not return until evening, and when there was nothing to do, he invited the old man to go around the village with him.

Xialin Village is not big, and it is much smaller than Wutong Village. Dozens of families live next to each other in dense clusters, and several streets have been built. Every family grows vegetables around the fence, and chickens and dogs smell each other. Everyone in the village is familiar with each other, and when they see the old man bringing a strange guest, they all feel strange, and the village woman and the village man do not shy away from it, and they come up and ask questions.

Hu Buwei is used to deception, the skill of the lips and tongue is the master, at this time the sunny day is clear, the danger has gone away, and the fear has receded, and it shows its true colors. But after a cup of tea, everyone in the village knew that there was a living immortal in the old man's house. Good can catch monsters and subdue monsters, feng shui transfer. At that time, some people were moved to go home and reverse the feng shui fortune in order to prosper the people. Hu Buwei said that the time was unfavorable, so he resigned. In the admiration and respect of a group of fools, he walked around the village and ate a few melons and fruits in vain.

At the southern end of the village is the direction of Wutong Village. Last night, Hu Buwei rushed into the village from this mouth, but I don't know what surprised him. Today, I re-visited, but I saw a two-person tall ebony statue under the ancient banyan at the entrance of the village. Although the distance is far away, you can still appreciate the spirit of the beast statue looking down on all beings.

It was a statue of a divine beast with two wings, a wide nose and teeth, and a dragon-faced lion body. Hu Buwei looked up and down for a while, and found that there were two columns of fine characters engraved under its base: one is "raise me for me" and the other is "bless and blessed", the word is small, hidden and extremely secret, if it is not for excellent eyesight and careful investigation, you will not be aware of it. Hu Buwei is very strange, the general folk offerings, mostly the land of the mountain god or the dragon king Guanyin. There are also sculptures of sages and martial saints. But there has never been an offering of incense to the beasts. Having doubts, he approached to look at it, and saw that it was like a rough carving, but the outline was excellent, and the depth and shallowness of the axe were all inappropriate. Only a few carvings by Liao Liao carved a mighty beast with a full expression.

Hu Buwei watched around this divine beast with wings and halberds, and secretly admired it in his heart. The old aconitum told him that this statue was the guardian beast of Xialin Village, protecting the village from drought and flood disasters and the invasion of demons. It seems to have been a village since it was formed. The village has really never been plagued by natural disasters or evil objects, and I don't know if it is due to the statues. Hu Buwei turned the beast statue to watch, only felt that its appearance was majestic but not evil, and its feelings were strict but not angry. Between the demeanors, there seems to be infinite firmness and comfort. People can't help but kneel down and worship.

Hu Buwei gradually turned slower, his consciousness became more and more confused, his heart was full of grievances and sorrows, and he wanted to kneel down and cry bitterly. When he turned to the third circle, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of "ho!", and Hu Buwei made a strange sound of gold and iron resonating for the Linglong Town nail in his arms, which was endless. Hu Buwei was fascinated, and when he was agitated by the sound, he immediately woke up and broke out in a cold sweat. Even crawling and running away from the statue of the god, frightened. Hearing the sound of the nails, he took it out of his bosom and looked at it.

The nail shook so badly that as soon as I took it out, I already felt that my arm was like ten thousand ants passing through, paralyzed and comfortable. Through several layers of cloth, the warm blue light can still be transmitted, like flowing water reflecting the sun, rippling and shining. When I lifted the cloth, I saw that the nail seemed to be transparent, and there was a cyan brilliance circulating in it, which was warm and warm. Although the coiled spirit dragon did not move, the scale armor was clear where the halo illuminated, and there was a hidden look in the eyes, which looked like a living thing. At this time, the pressure of the Guardian Statue's confused spirit had disappeared, and when he looked up, the statue was as calm as an abyss, and it was just ordinary. Hu Buwei held the nail of calming evil, and his heart was confused. But I don't know what the reason is.

When the villagers saw the vision, they were all shocked. Although I don't know what he is holding, it seems that the blue light is clear under the sunny day, and the sound is like a dragon's groan, it must be an immortal weapon. There is no longer the slightest doubt about the previous nonsense, and all of them suddenly admire the continuous flow of the surging river. If someone had suggested it, I am afraid that the crowd would have to kneel down and prostrate. Hu Buwei was puzzled and frightened, and he didn't dare to stay by the statue anymore. Seeing that everyone was coming up, he said a few words, and then ran back to the old man's hut as if he were flying, hiding and trembling.

The villagers were born simple, how could they have seen such strange people, only to see the fairy chief say: "There is something down there, go first!" and then "whoosh!", the dust is gone, and suddenly the figure is gone, and the running is extremely fast. Everyone sighed secretly: The immortal chief is really an immortal chief, and he runs several times faster than ordinary people. Some careful people found that the color of the immortal chief was quite strange before he walked, his face was red, his pupils were wide open like a cow, and he was trembling all over. That is naturally a symptom of the use of immortal arts, which can be called powerful.

After calming down, Hu Buwei carefully inquired about the origin of the statue of the divine beast in the old man. Old man Yu has regarded him as a true immortal, and he really knows everything, but unfortunately his knowledge is only scratching the surface, and he is vague when he says it repeatedly.

It turned out that Xialin Village was originally a desolate place, and more than 200 years ago, a group of people who fled the desert came here to settle down and escape the disaster. They bulldozed the earth and burned bricks, cut wood into beams, and began to build houses. Gradually, it became a small village. The statue of the sacred beast was erected at the entrance of the village at that time. It's just that the years have passed, and there is no document record in the village, and no one knows its origin and function. Only from the old legends, the mythical beast is like a sacred object that guards the villagers and resists natural disasters and demons.

Seeing that there is nothing to ask again, just ask. Go back to the side house and check the nails yourself. But the nail has long been calmed down, dark and dark, no different from before, Hu Buwei is beating and rubbing, I can't figure out, why can this nail shine and reverberate? And why is it not strange at other times, but it is shaking in front of the guardian beast? There are many doubts and clouds, and they are coming. However, after this incident, Hu Buwei knew that this Spirit Dragon Town Nail was indeed an ordinary thing. I didn't want to get another baby, and I was happy in my heart.

After being full of food and not daring to go out, Hu Buwei thought about it in bed for a while, felt tired like a mountain, and fell asleep again. He has never worked at home, he has always wanted to sleep and eat, and his wife Zhao has a gentle personality, but he also let him. It was unbelievable to sleep lazily on such a sunny day, but he had already taken it as usual.

I don't know how long I slept this night, Hu Buwei dreamed that he had earned a house full of gold, and he was officially named prime minister, and he had power and wealth, and he was laughing proudly. Suddenly, the emperor sent guards to arrest him, saying that he had stolen some palace treasure, and that he would be brought to justice and sent to the prison for interrogation. A group of ironclad guards surrounded his mansion and knocked on the door. Hu Buwei saw that he was desperate, and in a critical situation, a female ghost with long hair covered by his face suddenly appeared on the beam above his head, stretched out his claws and grabbed him, and opened his mouth to shout in horror, but suddenly woke up. I just felt sweaty like pulp, and my whole body was soaked.

The banging sound was beaten by the old man. Hu Buwei settled down, and went out with a little dress. In addition to the old couple in the main house outside, there was a tall young man, twenty-four or five years old, with a burly figure and a gentle expression. As soon as he saw Hu Buwei coming out, he hurriedly got up, hugged his fists with a smile and said, "This is Hu Xianchang? Old man Yu introduced that it turned out to be a horse seller in the village. When I came back from the market this evening, I heard the news and came to visit.

Hu Buwei realized that it was completely dark outside, and he didn't know how long he had slept or what time it was. Seeing that Sun Jia's words were respectful and amiable, he smiled and said: "I dare not take the title of immortal chief seriously, it is rare that you are willing to come to the door to see you, it is really good, I am in a hurry." My cattle were stolen last night, and I am anxious to get home today, so I want to see what good animals you have, and I'll buy one too. ”

That Sun Jia said: "I have heard about the immortal chief, I have heard from my father, and now I have brought a horse and tied it to the door, Mr. may as well move and take a look." When Hu Buwei heard the horses brought, he got up and went out with him.

Outside the barn, there was a jujube red horse, tall and long-legged, fat and strong, and was constantly shaving, shaking his tail, as if he had infinite energy. Hu Buwei smiled bitterly, that is, he was not Bole, but he also knew that this horse was considered to be the best in the horse, and when sold in the city, it was more than six taels of silver. It's just that with his financial resources, he can't stand it.

"I think Brother Sun is misunderstood, I just want to buy a horse that can run, this horse...... I'm afraid Hu can't stand it. ”

Sun Jia said with a smile: "I heard that the immortal chief lacked a mount, so the villain picked this horse from the stable. The immortal chief is a man of the way, how can he ride those inferior animals. Seeing that Hu Buwei shook his head and smiled bitterly, he said: "The immortal chief doesn't have to worry about the price, this horse should be given to the immortal chief as a villain." ”

"What...... What?Give it to me?" Hu Bu couldn't help but widen his eyes in order to hear the good deeds. I wonder if I heard it wrong. Seeing that Sun Jia was smiling, his eyes were earnest, but he didn't seem to be fake.

"No, no, I don't want it...... How dare I ...... such a valuable horse?"

"Immortal Chief!" Sun Jia smiled, his face solemn. "This horse is just a little bit of a villain's mind, don't shirk it. ”

Hu is not willing to accept it. Although he loves money, he also knows that there is no merit and no luck. Such a good horse will never be given away for nothing, but I am afraid that there will be some conspiracy and tricks in the meantime, but I have to guard against it. was insisting on pushing it, but Sun Jia knelt down with a 'plop!' and said: "The villain learned that the immortal chief had a special ability, and he had a reluctant request, hoping that the immortal chief could solve the villain's worries, this horse ...... It is the reward of the villain. ”

This time there was a big accident, Hu Buwei hurriedly grabbed him, picked him up, and hurriedly said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Brother Sun, please stand up and speak." That Sun Jia said: "The villain has been married to the clumsy thorn for nearly ten years, and there is still no child to this day. I asked all over the medicine to no avail......" He paused, and then said: "Later, after being instructed by someone, I learned that my ancestor's feng shui was disadvantageous. Over the years, the villain has also invited a few feng shui gentlemen to move the funeral house, moved several times, and gave a lot of gift money, but now there is still no aftereffect. ”

"The villain has earned some money, and his family is fine, but there is no queen in the hundred filial pieties, and the villain does not know the taste of food every day, and he is ashamed of Gao Tang...... When I came back from selling a horse today, I heard about Mr.'s strange thing, and I thought that Mr. must be a man of the way, and he will be able to relieve the stubborn crux in the heart of the villain, so ...... I hope that the immortal will grow up!" That Sun Jia said this, and fell to the ground again.

Hu Buwei helped him up, feeling anxious and ashamed. I didn't expect that my boasting at noon would cause such a thing. I want to excuse myself to push it away, but this person in front of me is the key to whether he can go home, and he can't cope with it well, which angers him, and he is afraid that he will go home on foot, and his life is at risk, and the consequences are terrible and terrifying. If you want to reluctantly undertake, you don't have that kind of ability, although the 'vertical and horizontal' feng shui for more than ten years, but it is only the vertical and horizontal on the lips, at most it is just a glance at two more "Yin House Commentary Sutra", and a copy of the "Dayuan Lian Zhenjing", know some "decay water", "yinsha", "golden rooster hugging hole" and other foolish words. If you talk about actual combat, the foundation is thinner than a page in a book.

Moreover, after the accident of the past two days, Hu Buwei already felt guilty of the gods. I vaguely feel that the gods are watching in the dark, and everything has its own cycle of cause and effect, and I am afraid that I will deceive the villagers to get retribution.

was hesitating and worried, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, remembering a different book I read when I was a teenager, and when I was messing with an unvirtuous partner, I read a different book "The Secret of the Bed", which has a lot of insights to guide the couple to melt into the water. I tried to remember it now, and in just a moment, I had a plan in my heart.

So he led Sun Jia to the side room and said: "Since this is the case, Hu will act in vain and do his best to solve problems for Brother Sun." Sun Jia was overjoyed, and fell to his knees again, knocking his head three times and getting up. Hu Buwei smiled slightly, and said: "The matter of extending the blood and renewing the veins is not only blocked by feng shui, I am afraid that some mediocre people have misjudged it and pretended to be feng shui." I'll teach you some methods first, and they might work. He also asked: "I don't know how Brother Sun and his sister-in-law live?" Sun Jia said: "Although the villain has a reckless temperament, he still cherishes his wife, and he usually doesn't beat and scold, she ...... We...... The couple has a good relationship and has never blushed so far. ”

Hu Buwei couldn't cry or laugh, knowing that he had misunderstood what he said, but this question was really embarrassing, and he asked: "Oh, what Hu wants to ask is the way of husband and wife between Brother Sun and his sister-in-law...... Sun Jia still didn't understand, opened his eyes, and said blankly: "The way of husband and wife, is the fairy chief asking the villain and the clumsy Jing how to live?"

"No, it's ...... How do you and you have fun in the water?"

"Fish...... The fairy smiled when he saw it, the villain and his wife were both rough people, and they didn't know what flowers, grasses, insects and fish were, and they were busy making money, and they didn't have time to attach themselves to the wind and ascend. ”

"Ah, it's not about fish and water, how about you do the courtesy of Zhou Gong?"

"Zhou Gong's gift? Zhou Gong...... Aren't you sleeping, dreaming...... The villain's dream is often done, but it's just a cheap dream...... Alas, the villain does not ...... Hey, hey, hey, ......hey, hey, Is it to ask...... The villain and the cheap ......" Sun Jia suddenly came to his senses, his eyes were dumbfounded, and he looked at Hu Buwei with a flushed face. I can't see that he is tall, but he is so thin-faced.

Hu Buwei's face was also a little hot, nodded, and secretly exhaled. This question is really strange, if you ask it again, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold it. Fortunately, Sun Jia is not a stupid person, and after a few clicks, he finally understood.

Sun Jia was extremely embarrassed, and at that time, the etiquette of men and women was very strict, and such secrecy between husband and wife was especially not humane. However, Sun Jia was eager to seek treatment, and learned from the villagers that Hu Buwei had a vision at noon, and he had already decided that he was a man of the Tao. If you don't hide it at the moment, you will come together with your wife's many secrets.

It turned out that Sun Jia was busy with business affairs, going to the prefecture and county, and often spent several days away. After a long period of fatigue, when I return home, I am often sleepy and have no energy to have sex. It is an occasional rise to do it, and it is only a little bit of personnel, and it does not last long. His wife, Rong, was dignified and virtuous, and she did not complain. In the past two years, I have been desperate for a child, and I have increased the frequency of times, but I still can't do it.

Hu Buwei learned about it, secretly happy in his heart, and immediately gave the secret recipe, it turned out that the "Bed Secret" is a book, which describes the way of men and women, the method of handover, and more chapters such as asking for children and daughters. Hu Buwei vaguely remembered that in his description of seeking a child, there was a saying: Men and women walk together in bliss, they have to merge yin and yang, the dragon and the phoenix lead, and the fetus is yang, and it is easy to have children. It means that the husband and wife have sex, when they agree to do it, they can enjoy each other, and those who can go to the end of the clouds and rain together are easy to have children.

He also taught the chapter of seeking children in the "Sutra of Plain Women": "The method of seeking children has its own normal body, purifying the heart and foresight, stabilizing its robe, fasting, and playing three days after the woman's menstruation, after the middle of the night, before the rooster crows, so that the woman is full of movement, and it is to follow it." Appropriate reason, with its happiness, but the body writes, under the essence of the desire, go to the jade door half an inch, do not pass *, do not go too far, to the wheat tooth. Far away, pass through the sub-gate, do not enter the sub-household. If you follow Taoism, you will have a virtuous son and a long life. ”

Hu Buwei is not good at Taoism, and he has a very good ability to memorize these market books, although he cannot describe them word for word for a long time, he also remembers the outline and gist of them at all. Seeing Sun Jia nodding frequently, he suddenly had an epiphany, and passed on his imperial skills and methods of judging the appearance and checking the appearance, what 'five signs and five desires, the face is red and the milk is strong' what 'is 'intended to be obtained', holding his breath and holding his breath, yin desires to get it, and the nose and mouth are two 'what' and attack it, sparse and shaking, eight shallow and two deep, dead and alive and returning, strong and strong' to help grasp the opportunity and advance and retreat in time.

Hu Buwei took a spell from his arms again, and lied that he was begging for a mantra, and asked him to choose the time to boil water and take it, which would increase the divine effect. Sun Jia got the secret instruction and went happily. At this point, it was just a meal, and Hu Buwei got a horse for nothing, and he was so proud. I just want to rush back immediately and report the good news to the Hun family. It's just that it's getting late, and there are risks on the road, but I can't be in a hurry, so I have to leave tomorrow.
