Not long after, a young man came back with an earthenware jar of pickles. When the young man saw the study room and a room full of people, he was stunned for a moment, and then he took the jar directly to Taoist Master Mao.
"Taoist Priest, is this jar okay with you?" the young man asked respectfully.
Taoist Master Mao slowly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to touch the mouth of the jar, and nodded, "Okay, go get half a jar of cold water."
"Okay." The young man carried the jar and went out. He quickly filled half the jar with tap water and came back.
Taoist Master Mao took the jar and stood up. After chanting Wuliang Tianzun, he said to Director Chang: "We already have the stuff, let's get started."
Director Chang also stood up from his seat, clasped his hands and politely returned the greeting: "Thank you, Director."
Taoist priest Mao walked out of the study room holding the jar with one hand, and everyone else followed. Taoist priest Mao walked to the door of Mr. Chang's bedroom. At this time, the bedroom door was ajar, and you could see the old man lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his eyes open.
He was talking, and he didn't know if he was asleep, but he was motionless anyway.
Taoist Master Mao looked inside along the crack of the door, and then quickly took out a yellow charm from his cross-body bag and pasted it on the door. There was a "pop" sound in the room, as if something had fallen.
It looked like it was exploding on the ground.
Everyone looked inside the room, intending to see what was going on, but Director Mao suddenly closed the door.
Taoist Master Mao turned around with a serious face and said to everyone: "I have sealed the evil ghost in the house. It is not suitable to get close here. Everyone retreats immediately. After a while, I will enter the room to catch the ghost to prevent the evil ghost from getting desperate and hurting everyone."
Taoist priest Mao didn't need to say anything. Tan Xuan and others were obedient and took a few steps back, leaving the "stage" to the protagonist.
Director Mao waved to Director Chang, "Mr. Chang, there is no need to retreat. You stand at the door. I need your help behind the scenes."
Director Chang obediently walked back to the door.
Taoist Master Mao handed the jar to Director Chang and said with a serious expression: "I will go into the house and cast a spell soon. If the evil spirits cannot bear my Taoist mantra, they will rush out of the door. I will cast a spell to force the evil spirits in."
Jar, Mr. Chang, hold the jar and stand at the door. When the time comes, listen to my orders. When I say seal it, you will seal the mouth of the jar immediately."
"Okay." Director Chang nodded solemnly.
Taoist Master Mao continued to warn him seriously: "Then get ready. No matter what strange phenomena appear in a while, don't panic. Just follow my orders. I'll make sure you're fine."
"Okay." Director Chang gritted his teeth and continued to agree.
"The poor way is gone."
Taoist priest Mao straightened his righteous crown, smoothed his robe, opened the door and entered the bedroom.
Qian Bo and others looked at it from a distance, but the door was immediately closed, and then there was a "click" and it was locked. Not to mention them, even Director Chang at the door did not have time to see clearly what was going on inside the room.
.
"Bold devil, if you don't surrender, you will be captured, otherwise you will blame me for being rude. Oh, you are looking for death!" Suddenly, Taoist Master Mao shouted from inside the room, and then there was a ping-ping, banging, and banging sound of fighting in the room.
.
Everyone outside the door was startled, and only then did they realize that it was not just people who started fighting over disagreements. Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and the most intense battle was what they couldn't see.
I'm all sweating for you, Taoist Master Mao.
Of course, there are also those who are indifferent, and that is Tan Xuan who is standing at the very back. When he gets here, he doesn't say a word. He just stands behind and looks at the layout of the living room casually. He looks at the furniture for a while, and then looks at it for a while.
Looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, regardless of whether they can be understood or not, they seem to be more attractive than those over there.
Even worse than Tan Xuan was Qian Bo. He had a strong opinion of this Taoist priest. Hearing the loud noise in the room, he whispered to the side: "I'll go, the fighting is quite lively. Look at it." The old Taoist priest has met his opponent, and I don’t know if he can do it. He won’t confiscate the ghost, but the ghost will confiscate it, right?”
"Xiao Bo..." Aunt Feng glared at Qian Bo, and Qian Bo immediately closed his mouth tightly. But Qian Bo's words still had some effect, because Aunt Feng and Director Chang at the door were all shaken when they heard him speak. He was obviously startled, and the young driver who had been responsible for helping him quietly moved away from the door.
"Click!"
There was a sound from the bedroom door, and everyone was startled. Director Chang's expression at the door changed instantly. He was no longer as calm as before, and the hand holding the jar began to tremble a little.
The door suddenly opened, and Director Chang held Tanzi at the door with his eyes closed.
"it's me!"
Taoist priest Mao shouted, pushed away the jar that almost hit his face, and stepped out of the door. He closed the bedroom door again, and then leaned against the door as if he was discouraged. At this time, he did not go in. He had the air of an expert in front of him, his Taoist robes were a bit messy, the Taoist crown on his head was crooked, his forehead was covered in sweat, and there was still some wet blood on the corners of his mouth.
Director Chang was startled by Taoist Master Mao's appearance, and asked with a hint of panic: "Taoist Master, what's wrong with you? Was it... successful inside?"
Taoist Master Mao shook his head, leaned against the door and panted for a long time before gradually regaining his breath. He frowned deeply and said, "No, I don't know how your master could offend such an evil spirit and have such a big one." Out of resentment, I didn’t listen to Pindao’s advice at all and wanted to kill the master of your house. Furthermore, he attacked me unprepared and I finally escaped from it. Alas!”
"This... what should we do?" Director Chang lost his composure after hearing this. He looked at the bedroom door and asked in panic: "Then it didn't hurt the old man now, did it? Will it break out of the door?"
Taoist Master Mao waved his hand, "Don't worry, Mr. Chang. My talisman is hidden on your master's body. The evil spirit cannot harm him at close range. I also put a yellow talisman on the door of this house. It is still there for the time being." Can’t get out.”
"Can't it come out temporarily?" Director Chang panicked, and sweat instantly appeared on his face. "You mean it will come out after a while?"
Taoist Master Mao nodded, "Yes, this evil ghost is unusual. My ordinary talismans cannot suppress it for long. It will not be able to trap it for half an hour at most."
"Ah!" Director Chang's feet softened and he almost sat on the ground. Fortunately, Director Mao stretched out his hand to support him and protected both the person and the jar.
Director Chang took Taoist Master Mao's arm and asked, "What should we do? Doesn't the Taoist Master have any other options?"
"This..." Taoist Master Mao licked the beard under his chin and pondered for a while, his expression was a bit struggling. After a long time, he spoke, "Although this evil ghost is stronger than I expected, I don't really want to use it. Method. Ordinary talismans are difficult to subdue it, unless the Tianshi Talisman is used. However, the Tianshi Talisman is the most important treasure of my sect, and I only have one gifted by my master, and to use this talisman, I must use my heart's blood as an act. Fu Yin, it hurt me a lot. Ouch!"
Director Chang immediately beamed with joy when he heard that there was a way. He is a thousand-year-old fox. How could he not know what Taoist Mao meant, so he sincerely begged: "Taoist Mao, this matter is all up to you. Don't worry.
, as long as things come true, I will be rewarded generously."
"This..." Taoist Master Mao pondered for a while with a solemn expression, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision, "Well, we are destined to meet each other. It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao, so Pindao took it.
Cause and effect this time.”
"Thank you, Taoist Master."
Taoist Master Mao dusted off his Taoist robe again, straightened his Taoist crown again, and said to Director Chang: "I will go in again later, and you are still waiting at the door until I use the Celestial Master Talisman to trap the evil ghost and bring him back."
Seal it in this pottery altar, and then take it back to the mountain gate to wait for Master to speak."
"Thank you, Taoist Priest." Director Chang, with a shy belly, held the jar and bowed to Taoist Priest Mao with difficulty.
Taoist Master Mao respectfully shouted "Infinite Heavenly Lord" to the sky, then took out a pair of silver gloves from his small bag and put it on his hands. He also took out something wrapped in kraft paper from the bag, opened the kraft paper, and found a box inside.
A gleaming silver talisman.
While everyone was stunned, Taoist Master Mao picked up the silver charm, stuffed the brown paper back into his small bag, shouted "Infinite Lord", opened the bedroom door again and barged in.
"Little devil, I will accept you today for the sake of heaven. Look at the talisman!"
Everyone only heard Taoist Master Mao shouting, and at the same time a scream came from the bedroom. Then the door of the bedroom opened, and Taoist Mao held the silver charm and put it into the jar held by Director Chang.
Suddenly there was a "hissing" sound from the jar, followed by a puff of white smoke.
Taoist priest Mao shouted: "Quick, cover the lid cleanly, don't let the evil ghost escape."
Without saying a word, Director Chang immediately picked up the lid that had been prepared and put it on the jar.
There were constant hisses and obvious vibrations in the jar. Director Chang suddenly became even more panicked and looked at Daoist Mao uneasily.
"Taoist Master, this..."
"No problem!"
Taoist Master Mao took out another talisman and stuck it on the mouth of the altar. Then he put his hands on the mouth of the altar and recited a spell in a low voice for a while, which was incomprehensible to everyone.
The vibrations of the jar gradually weakened, the sounds inside gradually disappeared, and finally calmness returned completely.
"This..." Director Chang was dumbfounded. Aunt Feng and the young man not far behind him were also stunned.
"Okay, I have lived up to my trust. I have sealed the evil ghost in this jar." Mao Dao let out a long breath.
"puff……"
Taoist Master Mao suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, which immediately stained the front of his Taoist robe.
"Taoist!" Director Chang was frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"It's okay." Taoist Master Mao waved his hand and said very weakly: "If you use the Tianshi Talisman wisely, the backlash is really powerful. Don't worry, give me the jar. I will return to the mountain gate immediately to practice, so as not to ruin my body.
Practice.”
Director Chang handed the jar to Taoist Master Mao, then turned around and told the young man, "Xiao Shi, hurry up and prepare the car. You can send Taoist Master Mao back in person."
"No need, Pindao Mountain Gate is far away from here, and it has been isolated from the secular world for many years. No secular people are allowed to go up the mountain. I can just go back by myself. It's just that the journey is long, and I need Mr. Chang..."
Director Mao said it so bluntly and euphemistically, but Director Chang couldn't understand. He turned around and went to the study, took out a bank card from the study, and held it in front of Director Mao with both hands.
"If the Taoist priest takes action, a small courtesy will not be considered respectful."
Director Mao glanced at the bank card. The amount and password were clearly written on it, and he reached out to take it.
"It is the duty of a poor Taoist to eliminate demons and protect the Tao. It's just that you need spiritual medicine to supplement your cultivation in the mountains. You can't buy medicine without this mundane thing, so I reluctantly accepted it."
After saying that, Taoist Master Mao dragged the jar and walked out. But before he reached the door, an inappropriate voice sounded behind him.
"You are in such a hurry to leave, do you really want to go back to the mountain?"
