Chapter 14(1/2)
First order made
Mr. Luo will be back early today.
His wife, Mrs. Wang, was asking him if he had visited his neighbors. This woman was very gossipy, which reminded Mr. Luo of the group of people in the afternoon.
There was really no other option today. In the afternoon, he brought some gifts and went to visit his new neighbor, who his wife said was becoming more and more distinguished. But he stood at the door and knocked for a long time, but there was no response from inside. He only heard a few sounds.
cat meow.
On the contrary, when I left, I met several tea merchants from other places and two escorts. They were carrying gifts from their hometown and they were also going to visit the young gentleman.
After asking each other, Luo Captou found out——
The young gentleman who just moved in opposite my house turned out to be the master who casually cut off the fog ghost who had been doing evil for several months when he passed by Liangshui Ao!
The fog ghost caused trouble in Jinyang Road, and it was about to go to the city gate to announce it. Now that it was eliminated, the story has already spread all over Yidu. Especially Nanhua County, which invited experts to get rid of it, was unable to get rid of it.
Being killed casually by a passing expert makes it even more interesting to talk about.
But I didn't expect such an expert to be around.
He has the ability to cut off fog ghosts. Although Luo Captou still feels that he may not be able to help him, he already deserves his double respect.
Think about what you have prepared today, a pack of brown sugar and a pot of good wine. They are some of the good gifts that are often brought when visiting relatives and friends these days. Ordinary people may not have the financial resources, but compared to those brought by tea merchants.
Things seem to be somewhat less thoughtful.
"I'll prepare a generous gift and visit again tomorrow."
Even today, Song You only draws Yin-preventing talismans.
The merchant surnamed Li didn't notice anything when he heard it at first, but when he thought about it more, he got better and better.
Song You threw away the yellow leaves in his hand and continued to close his eyes.
"Please come in."
Song You opened his eyes, stood up and opened the door.
The merchant surnamed Li looked at Sanhua Empress with a smile, but the scene he recalled in his mind was the scene of the cat learning from Mr. Xue and greeting him outside the city that day.
"The one folded into a triangle is a talisman to ward off ghosts. The square one is an talisman to ward off evil spirits. The talisman to ward off evil spirits cannot ward off evil spirits, and the talisman to exorcise ghosts cannot ward off ghosts. Different talismans have different functions. Please give me some advice.
Write down."
Song You saluted in the direction of the bamboo forest.
When everyone saw this, they felt a lot more relaxed.
Until each person was given two pieces and put them away close to his body, his courage suddenly increased, and he actually had the illusion that he would not be afraid of the fog ghost again.
After chatting like this for a while, the merchant surnamed Li suddenly caught a glimpse of the yellow talisman hanging at the door of Song You's bedroom. He couldn't help but be overjoyed when he thought of the second purpose of his visit.
Most of the gifts these people bring are home-made bacon and sausages and home-produced good tea, which are full of thoughtfulness.
Fold them carefully, string one of them up with twine, and hang it at the door of the bedroom to prevent the female ghost from entering. Leave it alone in other rooms. Since we have agreed to live in peace and not disturb each other, we should leave more for others.
The activity space is.
"What is summer heat?"
"..."
There are two types of talismans that are most common on the market and that people often ask for when going to temples. One is to ward off evil spirits and ghosts, and the other is to ensure safety.
"I'm sorry."
One person and one cat seem to not know.
A pile of gifts are all placed on the stone table.
But this kind of coolness is not uncomfortable, creepy or goosebumps, but a comfortable and clean coolness, just like pushing the door open after a full sleep and just feeling the dampness in the morning, or like the sultry dusk.
After washing away the scorching light, you can feel the comfort of the evening breeze blowing on your face.
One person and one cat seem to have a natural tacit understanding.
It's a rare luxury today. I steamed a bowl of white rice. I don't know why. As soon as the rice in this era is steamed, there is a strong aroma of rice. It is an aroma that can be smelled from one or two houses away. It smells delicious.
His appetite was greatly improved. Song You filled a bowl and took another plate, put some meat on the calico cat, and also gave it a small lump of rice. One person and one cat spent time quietly at dusk.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Standing outside the door were the merchant surnamed Li and the two escorts from last time, each carrying something in their hands.
"It's just going to get colder."
All I can say is that Mr.
When the wind blew, Song You spread it out casually and caught a yellow leaf in his hand.
"oh……"
"Compared to me accompanying it, I need it to accompany me more. It's hard to say whose creation it is."
Thinking that it was broad daylight after all, there were many people, and there was a husband here, so the group of people entered the small courtyard one after another.
Song You said this without hesitating or refusing.
"You should keep this in mind."
"End of summer heat..."
"Go to sleep, Empress Sanhua."
Everyone looked at each other again, each seeing surprise in the other's eyes, and then hurriedly came forward with gifts, saying thank you sir for saving his life.
"Is it delicious? Sanhua Empress."
It is indeed cooler in this courtyard than outside.
There are still shadows of people moving in the courtyard, and ghosts are singing.
"This cat follows Mr., it is also his nature."
The group of people were a little uneasy and looked at each other.
"delicious."
"You're welcome."
"To tell you the truth, sir, we hard-working merchants have been walking in the mountains all year round. It is inevitable that we will encounter ghosts at night and monsters on the mountain roads. Earlier, we also went to the temples in Wushan to ask for one or two talismans to keep us safe. Unfortunately, there were
Some are simply useless, and some are useful, but they can only be used as reminders. When I came here today, I also wanted to ask for a piece of talisman from Mr. Li to ward off evil spirits." The merchant surnamed Li said, "If I can get my wish.
, I can’t thank you enough.”
"I think so too."
This is one of the businesses of Fulongguan.
"good……"
After dinner, he sat and savored the taste for a while. When the night got a little late, Song You lit an oil lamp, tried a new pen, and began to draw symbols.
For a moment, spiritual power blows in the wind, causing the pen to move like a dragon or a snake, and the fire beans of the oil lamp tremble, causing the light and shadow in the courtyard to flicker.
"Sir, can you make talismans?"
"No need to be so polite."
Outside, there were people carrying vegetables hawking along the street, as well as people selling firewood and water. The sounds of shouting and bargaining could be heard. But Song You didn't feel the noise, he just felt that he heard the closely related people's lives in this era.
"I'm here early in the morning. If I'm disturbing you, please forgive me." The merchant surnamed Li said quickly, "We all wanted to come and thank you, so we asked my brother-in-law where he lives now. If there is anything inappropriate, I
At..."
…
Although they didn't see the spiritual power wandering around in the writing and sealing it in the cinnabar, they could still see the wind blowing when they wrote, and the leaves of the plum trees were faintly blown. They usually saw some strange phenomena when they went to the temples to seek talismans, but not this time.
Is it obvious?
For a moment, everyone felt at ease.
Fireworks in the world are the poetry of mortals. They are most easily satisfied when they have enough food and wine. With the company of Sanhua Empress, he no longer feels lonely living here alone. He even has a kind of feeling that he will not feel lonely even if he stays here for a long time.
The feeling of inadequacy.
"this……"
I had heard from Wang Ji that this yard was haunted. I rented it several times in the past few years, but all were evicted the next day. The husband dared to live in it because he was very talented and brave, but as ordinary people, they inevitably felt guilty.
Song You was really not used to such courtesy, so he just sent everyone to the courtyard to greet them.
There are several types of talismans that rely on spiritual power to ward off evil spirits and ward off ghosts. As for the talismans that protect peace, they usually need to communicate with the gods and draw on the power of their respective gods. Although there are a lot of Taoist statues in Fulong Temple, they are only used every year.
On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, I just clean them up and have limited respect for them, so the Taoists at Fulong Temple usually don't know how to use such talismans.
Fulong Temple is not famous for its talismans. Several kinds of talismans in the Song Dynasty Tour were also obtained by the temple masters in the past dynasties when they traveled around the world.
"It seems like it's summer heat."
"You're welcome, come in."
