Although Cheng Yu has been with Taoist Taoist for several years, he has never seen Taoist Taoist have the ability to exorcise souls and catch ghosts. At most, he has seen him take advantage of a few young wives in the name of touching bones on the street.

When you see a young and beautiful girl, you will touch her carefully, speak softly, and comfort her slowly.Seeing the older one, he immediately shook his head and put on an appearance of a tall man even after he glanced at him.

Later, seeing Cheng Yu and Zhuzi grow up slowly, old Taoist Tao didn't even set up a fortune-telling job, and taught Cheng Yu and Zhuzi how to draw several kinds of talismans.The three of them made a living by selling talismans.

Cheng Yu cooked the meal and brought it to Zhuzi's bedside. After Zhuzi finished the meal, he scooped up a plate of hot water for Zhuzi and washed Zhuzi's face and feet.

The foot of the pillar had blisters just after picking out the blisters, and after being tossed by the yamen servants again, many small stones had been embedded in the rotten flesh of the sole of the foot. Wipe gently.

Old Taoist Tao was bending over and pulling out a box from under the bed.

Brush off the thick dust and open the box.Old Taoist Tao took out a mahogany sword, two iron bells, and a torn book that had been eaten by mice from the box.

Old Taoist Tao took the book and gently shook off a few grains of rat droppings.Putting it in front of Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu immediately smelled the unique smell of mouse excrement and urine.

Cheng Yu tied the feet of the pillars with herbs, carefully wrapped them up, and then carefully put them on the bed and covered them with a quilt.Cheng Yu was very careful during this process, for fear of bumping into the broken leg of the pillar.

A fire light slowly lit up from behind Cheng Yu.It was Tao Taoist who lit the oil lamp.Cheng Yu sat down opposite Tao Taoist.

"You go down the mountain tomorrow, take this mahogany sword, these two bells, and a book down the mountain!"

Cheng Yu had a vague feeling that things were not going in the right direction. I was not reborn to be a Taoist priest.

Old Taoist Tao said leisurely: "Originally it wasn't your turn, but your senior brother broke his leg, so naturally you have to go down the mountain for this trip! You don't have to feel disadvantaged, you have done this matter, I will pass on the position of head to you, what do you think?"

Cheng Yu frowned and asked: "What sect is in charge, which sect do we belong to, why haven't I heard you say it before!".

"Well, the sect has existed since today, so you may not have heard of it!"

Cheng Yu: "..."

Old Taoist Tao pointed to the famous book: "This is how to use these two magic weapons, you should take this opportunity to read them carefully today!"

Cheng Yu looked at the light for a while, the book was missing a few pages, but although it was incomplete, it did not affect reading.It's just that he was soon suffocated by the smell of urine and his head ached, recalling the memory of his previous life in the dungeon, thinking of the man in the red official robe, Cheng Yu's head hurt even worse.

Taoist Tao had already taken off his shoes and got on the bed, lying on the bed tossing and turning.After a long while, he said, "Cheng Yu, I heard from Daddy Douzi about the matter of Douzi milk?"

Cheng Yu pretended not to know and asked, "What's the matter?"

Taoist Tao simply sat up cross-legged on the bed: "Do you know how soybean milk died?"

Cheng Yu didn't look up: "Suicide!"

Old Taoist Tao remained silent.Zhu Zhu lying on the bed immediately pricked up his ears to listen.

Zhu Zi already had doubts in his heart, but he never asked Cheng Yu.

After a while, Cheng Yu raised his head from the shaking lights and looked at Taoist Taoist.The Daxing Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Although serving the mountain god is death in the end, if you hang on to serve the mountain □□ righteousness, you will not be imprisoned.

Daddy Douzi is the pillar of the family, if Daddy Douzi is captured by the government, he loses his only labor force, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled, the life of this family may not be easy.

But if it is said that Douzi's father killed his mother, it is not entirely true.At that time, he and Zhuzi were sleeping next to them, and Daddy Douzi's foot was injured again. Dragging the dead body must have alarmed them both.

Maybe Grandma Douzi and Daddy Douzi are both involved.The movement of hanging himself is difficult for two people to complete, but if two people work together.This must have explained it.

Cheng Yu made a relatively good result in sending Dad Douzi to the government and staying at home.After all, Douzimilk and Douzidaddy have already made a choice.

After a long silence, Taoist Tao continued to ask: "If one day, you are in such a dilemma, what will you choose? Do you choose the justice of one person, or the justice of the majority?"

Cheng Yudao thought for a long time before seriously replying: "I should choose the majority!"

***

Afraid of bumping into Xiaozhuzi's injured leg, Cheng Yu put the pillow next to the pillar, and saw Zhuzi staring at him with bright eyes.

Cheng Yu smiled and tucked the quilt for him.Lie down by the pillar and go to sleep.Since he and the pillar came here, the two slept in the same bed, but one slept at the head of the bed and the other at the end of the bed.

At that time, both of them were teenagers, so they didn't feel crowded.Later, the two gradually grew taller.Sleeping together, Cheng Yu's feet would touch Zhuzi's chest from time to time.

Later, Cheng Yu took a few boards to widen the bed, so that the two of them would not feel crowded when they slept together.

Sometimes, Cheng Yu's leg hurts.I was sweating profusely from the pain.Zhu Zi would grab Cheng Yu's injured foot and hold it in his arms.

On the second day, before dawn, Cheng Yu got up early, and after cooking the meal, with two steamed buns in his arms, he was about to step out the door, but Taoist Taoist stopped him.

Cheng Yu turned his head and saw a black object flying towards him, he reached out to take it.Only then did I realize that it was actually the bag of silver that Master took out last night.It's just that the bag was still bulging yesterday, and now there are only scattered silver in the bag, which was obviously taken out by Tao Taoist secretly and hidden.

"I gave Daddy Douzi some, hey! If the exorcist came to the door one day earlier, maybe the soymilk would be able to survive this winter! You take all these taels of money first. You have bad legs and feet. I'm sure I won't be able to come back in a day, so I'll stay at the inn first, and come back when I'm done!"

"Also!" Old Taoist Tao casually threw another Taoist robe to Cheng Yu: "If you dress like you, no one will believe that you can exorcise ghosts. It's easier to do things with a different outfit!"

Cheng Yu's legs and feet were inconvenient, and he limped until the sun was about to set before entering the city.

Cheng Yu didn't care to drink his saliva to moisten his throat, so he ran directly to the place where the letter was written.

The letter said that the house was haunted by ghosts, and the master at the head of the house had been in a coma for more than half a month.He can only eat some liquid food on weekdays. This family is a wealthy businessman in the county, and he has invited many famous doctors during the period.

I took a lot of medicine, but there was no improvement.Recently, I can't even drink the medicine anymore, and I started talking nonsense.

So I wanted to ask a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits, fearing that I would be entangled in something unclean.

The last thing Cheng Yu stopped at was a rich man's compound, and there were two stone lions standing beside the door, looking very mighty.

Stone lions have the effect of exorcising evil spirits from town houses, but few people in Nanping County would put them like this.Although this pair of stone lions is very vividly carved, the stone material is new, apparently just placed there not long ago.

Cheng Yu stepped forward and knocked for a long while before the door was opened by a domestic servant about 50 years old.

Cheng Yu saluted and was about to speak.But the old man waved his hand, looked Cheng Yu up and down, took out a few copper coins from his bosom, and handed them to Cheng Yu.

"Master, I've been sick for the past few days, and I can't give up food, so come back another day!"

Cheng Yu was a little bit dumbfounded holding the money, thinking that he came here because someone was sick, so he didn't expect to be treated as a beggar.

Hastily said: "It is because of this incident that the poor Taoist came to your mansion to help the master exorcise evil spirits and take refuge!"

After hearing Cheng Yu's words, the servant's originally kind face immediately darkened.

"It turned out to be a Taoist cheating money, get out of here. Our family never believes in ghosts and gods!" Then, he snatched back the few copper coins he gave Cheng Yu just now from Cheng Yu's hand, and put them in his arms.

With a bang, the door was closed.

Cheng Yu was still a little dazed, and couldn't figure out what was going on.

There was a slight giggle behind him, and Cheng Yu looked back.Then I saw an old man squatting in the corner, selling sesame seed cakes.

The old man stretched out his hand to greet Cheng Yu: "Master Daoist! Come and sit here for a while!"

Cheng Yu saw that there were no customers around the old man, so he just walked all the way and didn't eat anything.I bought three biscuits from the old man.He tentatively asked: "Old man, just now the poor man said something wrong!"

The old man handed three pancakes to Cheng Yu, and took out a bench to tell Cheng Yu to sit down.

"That's right, the people of the Li family have never believed in these gods, gods and ghosts. Aren't you slapping them in the face! The old servant of the Li family just now is usually kind and friendly. Flowers, you have to give some money. The master of the Li Mansion is a very kind person, and he will give some money when he sees my old man's rags on weekdays."

Cheng Yu took a bite of the biscuits, "According to you, then Master Li's family is a very good man!"

"Hey!" The old man sighed, "It's a pity that good people don't live long. The master of the Li family is usually in a strong body. I thought it was just a minor illness, but who knew..."

Cheng Yu had already finished eating one piece of cake, and went on to eat the second one.

Then, the old man winked at Cheng Yu again, and said in a low voice, "However, it's really mysterious to me, and I should find someone to check the Feng Shui of this house. The young lady in the mansion was like this a few years ago. A few days after leaving the young master, he also went!"

Cheng Yu became interested, and the old man continued: "That is really a beautiful and dignified young lady. The last time I saw her was when I just entered the door!"

Cheng Yu asked: "Old man, have you been selling sesame seed cakes here every day?"

The old man nodded and said: "The master of this family is a very kind person. He usually asks the servants in the house to buy a pair of new shoes for the old man when he sees the old man's shoes are worn out, but this year he can't wait!"

As he spoke, the old man's toes stuck out from the broken shoe.The old man felt that his toes were itchy, so he dug the plaster on his toes with his hands, rubbed them into a ball between his fingers, put it between his nose, took a deep breath, and then bounced it out.

The cake in Cheng Yu's hand was worth a thousand gold, and the cake in his mouth seemed to have changed its taste.Resisting the churning in his stomach, he asked, "Did you really not see this young lady go out again in the past few years?"

The old man dug his nostrils with his fingers, thought for a long time and said, "Once, but it was a long time ago, and it was a big accident, so the old man remembers it!"

Although Cheng Yu felt that it was not good to continue inquiring about other people's privacy, he always felt something was wrong in his heart.

The old man said: "That time, it was actually the first time I saw the young master. The young master is really a good-looking talent, that is..." The old man didn't continue, and gently pulled Cheng Yu's clothes with his hand, motioning Cheng Yu to go By the wall of Li Mansion.

At this time, the sun had completely set, and a few rays of afterglow cast on a person.The man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a handsome face and a thin figure. He was wearing a half-worn long gown. He seemed to be a scholar.

The man seemed to have noticed Cheng Yu's movement, and looked towards Cheng Yu.When the four eyes met, Cheng Yu actually saw a little tear in the other's eyes.

The old man coughed softly: "It is said that it is the young lady's best friend. Since the young lady passed away, she has been wandering here for a while every evening before going back!"

Cheng Yu came out from the alley of Li's house, and when he turned his head, he saw that man was still staring at Li's house blankly, like a watchman.

Anqing County is very poor, and there are no people on the streets after dark.There were even fewer inns, Cheng Yu found an inn.

The clerk in the inn was busy plucking his legs, when he saw Cheng Yu coming, he hurried forward to greet him warmly.

"Daoist, you are here, are you eating or staying in a hotel?"

After Cheng Yu ate the old man's pancake just now, his stomach was still not feeling well, and he still didn't want to eat much, so he said, "Just give Poor Dao a clean room!"

The guy immediately led Cheng Yu into a guest room upstairs graciously, and when he opened the door, a mildew smell came over his face.The man rubbed his hands together and said, "Master Daoist, do you think this room will work?"

Cheng Yu looked around and put down the suitcase on his body.If it was in the previous life, even a glance at such a house would make Cheng Yu's eyes dirty.But after the catastrophe in Zhao Prison, Cheng Yu felt that as long as it could shelter from the wind and rain, it would be fine.

"Just this one, please bring me some hot water." This small inn may not have been lived in for a long time, Cheng Yu reached out to touch it, and his fingers felt a layer of dust.

Fortunately, the bedding is clean and the smell is not very strong.

After washing his feet, Cheng Yu fell on the bed and fell asleep, when he was in a daze and suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Cheng Yu got up and opened the door.The clerk bowed and said: "It was too late, I didn't dare to disturb the rest of the guest officer, but a young master asked me to send a letter to the Taoist priest!"

Seeing Cheng Yu took the letter, the clerk said: "Then, I won't disturb the Taoist priest to rest!" After speaking, he turned around and left.

"Wait!" Cheng Yu stopped him.

"Where is the young man who asked you to deliver the letter?"

"After he handed the letter to the little one, he left!" Cheng Yu hurriedly limped downstairs and asked, "Which direction are you going?"

The guy also followed Cheng Yu's footsteps, ran downstairs panting: "This... the little one didn't see it clearly."

Cheng Yu glanced at the dark street, and there was half a figure there.

"Did you see clearly the young master's appearance and figure just now?"

The man frowned and thought about it carefully, "I really can't think of the young one, but I just feel that he is not old, and he looks very delicate!"

Cheng Yu followed closely and asked, "Didn't you see clearly what kind of clothes that young master is wearing?"

The buddy was a little dazed by Cheng Yu's barrage of questions, "Master Daoist, what's going on? Is something wrong? The shop is a small business, but it can't stand the trouble!"

Opening an inn is doing the business of welcoming and sending people away. Even if you have met once, you will firmly remember the person's appearance and the salty taste of the guests.If even the shop assistants can't remember the person's appearance, they may only say that the person looks too ordinary to be recognized among the crowd.
