The master said not to judge people by their appearance

Master Lingbao swallowed his saliva as he looked at the bells around the Dharma altar that were automatically rushing to death without the wind, he had never seen such a battle.

Could it be that he bumped into a real demon this time?Master Lingbao felt a little frightened, but he also knew that he couldn't show fear, otherwise all previous efforts would be wasted, so he forced himself to calm down, ordered another talisman, and shouted: "Where is the evil spirit, don't show up quickly!"

What answered him was a sudden gust of wind, and the people passing by Yin Feng felt their bodies stiff, as if they had been frozen for a long time in the ice and snow with only their single clothes, and the cold had penetrated into the bone marrow.

But Fang Ping's feeling was even more obvious, a sharp sound sounded in her mind, like something's ugly laughter, piercing her consciousness with severe pain, she let out a scream.

"Ping'er!" Yuan Wan sensed something was wrong, hurriedly supported Fang Ping, who was already standing unsteadily, and then turned to look at Master Lingbao, wanting to ask the master to help.

But Daoist Lingbao couldn't take care of himself at all. The dark wind was blowing towards the altar, and the Taoist robe was flying. He also felt the unusual coldness, and his heart was flustered. He hurriedly grabbed another talisman and wanted to light it with a candle. .

Although this talisman was drawn by him, evil things are generally afraid of fire.

However, this was just his wishful thinking. Not only was this raging thing not afraid of fire, it even directly extinguished all the candles on the altar.

The courtyard became even darker for a while, Master Lingbao felt that the wind seemed to be alive and piercing into his seven orifices, and he couldn't hold back the posture of an expert, screaming in shock and waving around with Buddha dust.

Everyone saw that the master who had just returned to the immortal demeanor was frightened out of his wits, looking like he was insane. Suddenly, the screams stopped abruptly, and the real Lingbao stared and fell down straight.

With a sound of "bang", when the real Lingbao fell to the ground like a corpse, the people who were already stunned realized it after a while.

A servant girl tremblingly said, "Master, is he dead?"

At the same moment when her voice fell, the body that was stiff and lying on the ground suddenly moved again. He wanted to try to stand up, but his joints seemed to be inflexible, and he fell back again, just like a baby who is just learning how to walk. Kind of hilarious.

However, no one present could laugh, and everyone was horrified, because Lingbao's expression and facial features were no longer human-like, and the pupils that belonged to humans were now glowing with the ferocity and greed of beasts. Saliva, as if a wolf is staring at the flock of sheep, if he is not used to this body, he might have jumped on it and bit him.

The maids and servants were so frightened that they took several steps back, and even turned around and ran away. The mages who came to exorcise the demons couldn't help but retreat when they saw the hideous face of Lingbao, thinking that the money would not matter. , life matters.

"Whoever can subdue this monster will be rewarded with a thousand gold!" Yuan Wan shouted.

The footsteps of the mages stopped abruptly again, money can make ghosts turn the millstone, that is a thousand taels of gold!

The shaman master was heartbroken, and led his disciples forward, holding a drum in his left hand and a whip in his right hand, and danced an exorcism dance around the real Lingbao.

Although what he usually does is bluffing and deceiving, this exorcism dance was passed down from his ancestors, so it may be useful for evil spirits.

"Lingbao Daoist" is already a little familiar with this body at this moment. It stood up in an awkward and weird posture, with its back bent and its hands on the ground, as if it was not used to standing on two feet, and it still maintained the four-legged posture of a beast. habit.

After it stood up, it should have rushed towards the crowd immediately, but it stopped when it saw these people dancing and singing around him, dressed in shaman costumes, and the ferocious expression on its face disappeared. Looking at the shaman with his head, he seemed to be restrained by this exorcism dance.

The shaman master was overjoyed, and before he could finish saying the words of the patriarch's blessing, the expression of "Lingbao Daoist" suddenly changed into a malicious grin.

It kicked its legs, its five fingers bent into claws, and it swooped out like a hungry tiger, its teeth aiming at the shaman's neck.

Even though the teeth of human beings are not as sharp as those of beasts, with the viciousness of "Real Lingbao" at the moment, everyone has no doubt that these teeth can bite their throats.

The accident happened so fast that the shaman had no time to hide, and he was about to die on the spot, but "Lingbao Daoist" was still not used to this body, misjudged the jumping power of human beings, and it missed.

It patted the ground with both hands, as if it was very annoyed by this old and useless body.

The shaman turned around and ran away in horror, completely giving up his desire to earn the thousand taels of gold.

Many of the other mages turned around and ran away timidly, but there were also some who boasted that they had some means and wanted to fight for gold.

"Monster, look at the sword!"

"Ghosts and demons are frightened, ghosts forget their shapes, evildoers, and show themselves quickly!"

"Exorcise evil spirits and bind evil spirits, protect life and body, Taishang Laojun is as urgent as the law!"

Some mages hold mahogany swords, some hold gossip mirrors, and some pinch talismans.

Not only was the evil spirit not expelled, but it was enraged by this littering. "Lingbao Daoist" made a "gurgling" sound from his throat, like the low growl of a wild beast, and it rushed out again!

Lingbao's old and thin body exploded with incredible strength at this moment. It grabbed a sword-wielding Taoist priest into the air with five fingers, and then threw it like a stone throw, and then grabbed another mage beside him , the teeth gnawed at the opponent's arm, and amidst the sorcerer's screams of pain, he bit off a piece of flesh, put it in his mouth and chewed it, as if he disliked it too much, and spat blood on the ground.

It threw the unpalatable prey out casually, and went looking for another target.

The courtyard was in chaos, and Wang Tai was stunned. He never expected such an accident to happen today. Like Xie Yunlan, he doesn't really believe in ghosts. Until now, he has been wondering who it is. The trick is to pretend to be a ghost.

But seeing that someone was injured, and the crazy "Renbao Lingbao" was rushing towards the innocent crowd, he couldn't stand any longer, and shouted: "Don't hurt people!"

He strode forward, and his arms as strong as a calf exerted all his strength to capture the real Lingbao, but the moment he really grasped the arms of the real Lingbao, Wang Tai's eyes showed uncontrollable horror.

He has been born with supernatural power since he was a child. In terms of strength, even Xie Yunlan, who is very talented in martial arts, can't compete with him. He can only win with skills. It can be said that he has never met an opponent in terms of strength, but today, it seems Even the old and thin real Lingbao couldn't support him even with his strength.

"Lingbao Daoist" obviously didn't expect a human being to be so strong that he could wrestle with it for a while, narrowing his ferocious eyes, and suddenly opened his teeth, biting at Wang Tai's neck.

Wang Tai didn't have a weapon in his hand, so he couldn't fight hard, so he retreated quickly. "Realist Lingbao" chased after him and bit him, regardless of the power of the yellow teeth that hadn't been brushed for many years, it looked disgusting. "Stuff it in your mouth.

With a sound of "cracking", "True Lingbao" covered his mouth and cried out in pain, Wang Tai took the opportunity to kick "True Lingbao" in the chest, trying to force him back.However, he still underestimated the ruthlessness of the "True Lingbao" at this moment, just like a wolf that has bitten its prey, no matter how it is kicked, even if it is only a breath, it will never let go.

"Lingbao Daoist" was kicked by Wang Tai desperately, and at the same time grabbed the opponent's ankle, raised both hands, abruptly lifted Wang Tai, a strong man with a height of eight feet, into the air, swung it twice, and then flung it violently .

Wang Tai slammed heavily on the locust tree in the courtyard, let out a muffled groan, and couldn't stand up for a while.

"Lingbao Daoist" grinned and let out an ugly, strange smile. The things blocking the way had been cleared away. Its ferocious and greedy gaze once again inspected the prey in the courtyard, and finally fixed on the white figure.

Everyone was running away in panic, and Shen Fan, who stood upright with an indifferent expression, seemed out of place in this panicked scene, and at the same time was very conspicuous.

"True Lingbao" walked towards him, his old and stooped body felt oppressive like a ferocious monster, but Shen Fan was still so indifferent, as if he had nothing to do with it, and he didn't care.

He looked at the monster approaching him fiercely, he didn't panic, he didn't run away, he just made a simple to almost gentle movement, spreading his empty fingers.

The arrogant and ferocious "True Lingbao" suddenly yelled, as if seeing something that frightened him, "Deng Deng Deng" took several steps back.

Wang Tai, who had just recovered from the severe pain of the impact, was struggling to stand up. When he saw this scene, he froze for a moment, then turned his head belatedly, and followed the rest of the people in the courtyard, looking at the lamp. On the candle.

Clouds covered the sun, and the candle on the altar was extinguished by this evil thing long ago. The courtyard was oppressively dark, but at this moment, another candle was lit out of thin air.

This candle is different from ordinary candle oil lamps, it does not seem to have any igniter to rely on, it is suspended above the palm.

The light of the fire is not very intense, but the moment it will appear, the cold and gloomy feeling on the chest will suddenly dissipate, and the feeling of warmth and tranquility will come from the light of the fire, giving people a feeling like the sun in this drowsiness. Dazzling feeling.

What is even more dazzling is the person holding it. Shen Fan lowered his eyebrows, and the firelight reflected his unparalleled face. Wang Tai always thought he was a little silly when he saw him, but now he showed a trace of solemnity for no reason. It's like a god and Buddha sitting in a temple.

"Lingbao Daoist" had already retreated to the corner of the wall, covering his eyes with his arms, as if being stung by the flames, screaming and trying to avoid the candlelight.

But light is everywhere, Shen Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "Ghost monsters are not allowed to enter the human world."

"You should go." He said lightly.

At the same moment as the sound of the last word fell, the candle flame shot up suddenly, and the "True Lingbao" screamed heart-piercingly, and some black mist faintly peeled off from his body, and was annihilated in the firelight the moment he left the body.

When the black air completely dissipated, the screams also stopped, and Lingbao Daoist fell to the ground, yelling a few times, obviously still alive.

But right now no one has the time to care about his life and death, everyone's eyes are focused on Shen Fan who is holding a candle and shining on him, today's situation is changing again and again, everyone is continuously frightened, before recovering, the courtyard is quiet for a while.

"Master!" Yuan Wan was the first to respond. She hugged Fang Ping, who had fainted, and cried, "Please save my little girl!"

Shen Fan glanced at her, his gaze was still calm, and said: "She was just frightened, nothing serious, just rest for a few days."

After the words fell, Fang Ping also woke up slowly. When she opened her eyes, she was a little confused, but then remembered something, and shrank into Yuan Wan's arms in horror.

Yuan Wan reassured: "Don't be afraid, the master has exorcised the evil spirit."

"Which master?" Fang Ping stared blankly at the real Lingbao who fell on the ground, and all the mages around him in a panic. She fainted too early and didn't know what happened just now.

When Yuan Wan explained to Fang Ping, Shen Fan put his fingers together, the candle was ignited out of thin air in his palm just now, and now it was also extinguished out of thin air, never to be seen again.

He walked to the house at the back of the yard and asked, "What is this house for?"

"This is the ancestral hall of the Fang family." Yuan Wan said.

Ancestral halls are places where ancestor tablets are enshrined, and outsiders are generally not allowed to enter.Shen Fan didn't understand these things, so he pushed the door open and walked in.

He showed his hand just now, but no one stopped him. After Shen Fan entered the room, he saw several plaques with the names of the ancestors of the Fang family written on them.

The placement of the tablets is also particular, usually the ancestor is in the center, and the descendants are arranged in order from left to right, but right now the tablet in the middle is not written with Fang's surname, or even a name, and there are only two characters written on the tablet - Changsheng.

After appeasing Fang Ping, Yuan Wan followed in. Seeing Shen Fan's eyes on the longevity tablet, she explained: "This is the longevity tablet. Enshrining it in the family temple can bless your descendants with a long life."

"How did you get it?" Shen Fan asked.

Yuan Wan said: "This item is rare, it was made by Reverend Tongxuan himself, Reverend Tongxuan is an expensive national teacher, so he would not sell it lightly, these longevity tablets he made were originally dedicated to His Majesty, His Majesty's long grace is mighty, and these longevity tablets were given away again. The rewards were given to the princes and ministers who have made meritorious service in the court, but I have no merits and no name, but thanks to His Majesty's concern, he also gave me one."

Shen Fan: "How many are there?"

"This..." Yuan Wan hesitated for a moment, "I can't remember clearly, there should be dozens or even hundreds."

"Master, is there any problem with this thing?" Yuan Wan asked.

Shen Fan was about to speak, but someone came in from the outside, it was Yuan Lang and Xie Yunlan who had heard the news belatedly.

"Aunt, is there really evil in this mansion?" Yuan Lang looked at the yard outside in surprise. Although the evil was gone, the messy crowd and the overturned altar still left traces of the previous chaos.

"Gu heard that even those mages were possessed by the evil spirit, and many people were injured. This evil spirit is so powerful, have my aunt and cousin ever been injured?" Yuan Lang worried.

"No, your cousin was a little frightened, but it's nothing serious." Yuan Wan thanked Xie Yunlan again, "It's all thanks to Mr. Xie."

Xie Yunlan raised his eyebrows, he was a little confused, so Yuan Wan said to Shen Fan respectfully: "Master, I was so negligent before, please forgive me for not being able to see Mount Tai, I will order someone to prepare a generous gift, and thank Master well!"

Shen Fan responded casually, not caring much about the so-called generous gift, his eyes fell on Xie Yunlan, as if he wanted to say something.

Xie Yunlan also wanted to say something, he really wanted to know what happened just now, he had prepared some tricks for Shen Fan, but it shouldn't make such a big noise.

Yuan Lang was also very curious about this, so Yuan Wan described the scene to the two of them again, and Yuan Lang was amazed when he heard it: "As expected of the envoy of the Dragon God, he really has supernatural powers!"

Xie Yunlan frowned slightly, glanced at Shen Fan, and said nothing.

The official business has been finished, Yuan Wan wanted to stay with the group for dinner, but Yuan Lang, as the supervisor of the country, still had something to deal with in the uterus, so she didn't respond, and left in a car first.

Xie Yunlan didn't respond either, and after a few polite words with Yuan Wan, she wanted to leave, but Yuan Wanqiang kept her and drank a few cups of tea.

What Yuan Wan really wanted to stay was naturally not Xie Yunlan, but Shen Fan. Now she firmly believed in Shen Fan's abilities. Although she had eliminated the evil spirits, she was still a little worried. While drinking tea, she asked: "Master, Have the evil spirits in my mansion been expelled?"

Shen Fan nodded.

"That Ping'er's body..." Yuan Wan squeezed Fang Ping's hand, "The master said that she is born with deficiencies, and her soul fire is weaker than ordinary people. What should I pay attention to in normal times, or what supplements can I take to replenish my soul fire? Like normal people?"

"Soul fire cannot be repaired by external objects. This kind of brilliance is gifted by heaven and is innate." Shen Fan explained, "The strength of soul fire is closely related to the number of lives and deaths of people. Changing the strength of soul fire will It is no less than changing the number of life and death of a person, from life to death easy, from death to life difficult, in the whole world, apart from the way of heaven that gives birth to all things, there is only one person who can rekindle the fire of a weak soul. Candle Dragon."

Yuan Wan frowned and said, "Since Master is the envoy of Dragon God, how can I ask Master for help from Dragon God? But I have to go to Zhongshan to pay a personal visit to prove my sincerity?"

"It's useless to go." Shen Fan said, "He's gone."

gone?Yuan Wan was taken aback for a moment, wondering if this Dragon God had gone out?
