Hearing this exclamation, Li Changan immediately realized that something had changed.
The ghost baby raised his head from the wooden basin, tilted his head and looked around for a while, and soon realized that he had been attacked by the Taoist priest.
It suddenly showed an angry expression, opened its mouth, and a low, high-pitched roar surged out from its mouth, making those who listened feel dizzy, feel chest tight, and feel like vomiting.
And amidst this high-pitched roar, it turned black and swollen again, turned around, and looked at Zhang Yuanwai fiercely.
Member Zhang was so frightened that he and his chair fell to the ground.
The old man quickly shouted to Li Changan: "Hurry and protect Zhang Yuanwai."
But the ghost baby twisted his body and rushed straight towards Liu Laodao.
The old Taoist priest was caught off guard. In a hurry, he took the incense burner at hand and smashed the flag at random. These things were just ordinary objects without the blessing of magic. They passed through the ghost baby's body directly and could not stop the ghost baby at all.
in a blink.
The ghost baby has already rushed in front of the old Taoist.
"My life is at an end."
The old man closed his eyes in despair.
As soon as he said it, a hand stretched out from the side and grabbed the back of the ghost baby's neck in a flash of lightning.
It was Li Changan who arrived at the critical moment.
The difference between humans and ghosts is not only because humans cannot see ghosts, but also because under normal circumstances, the two cannot touch each other. But during this period, Li Changan discovered that he could not only see ghosts, but also touch them.
This is probably the ability brought to him by "Tongyou" in Xiao Huang's book.
And this skill saved the old Taoist's life today.
The ghost baby struggled endlessly in Li Changan's hands, and its skin felt wet, greasy, and disgusting. Li Changan had no choice but to endure it, not daring to let go.
But the ghost baby didn't struggle for a few times, but suddenly stopped.
"What's going on again?" Li Changan was unhappy instead of worried.
really.
"Kakaka..."
Amidst a series of joint friction sounds, the ghost baby's head unexpectedly turned 180 degrees, facing Li Changan. The ghost baby's mouth was no longer a black hole, it looked like a human, but the mouth was open but there was no tongue.
, there are only layers of finely serrated teeth in the mouth.
After one bite, I'm afraid not only the skin and flesh, but also the bones will be chewed into dregs.
The ghost baby opened its mouth and was about to bite it. Li Changan quickly threw a small piece of white object into its mouth. It closed its mouth reflexively, and a peaceful look appeared on its face again.
Li Changan didn't bring many things with him when he traveled through time, except for a small yellow book, which was a pair of peanuts and melon seeds toffee he took from a banquet in his trouser pocket. After a month, there was only one big white rabbit left.
Earlier, when I mixed the talisman water into the milk, I also mixed some on the toffee, but I didn't expect that it would actually be used at the critical moment.
"Master!" Li Changan shouted loudly.
"oh."
The old Taoist, who was still immersed in the danger just now, hurriedly came to his senses. He put his hands together to form a spell, held the talisman pen with his thumb, and read:
"One stroke moves the world, two strokes the Patriarch's Sword, three strokes the demons and monsters escape thousands of miles away."
Immediately afterwards, he applied cinnabar with a brush and dotted it on the forehead of the ghost baby. Without making a second stroke, he directly painted the dragon and snake, and the spell was cast in one go.
Finally, the ghost baby was suppressed again.
Master and disciples did not dare to be careless and quickly continued to save themselves.
Nothing went wrong this time.
Finally, the ghost baby gradually disappeared in the glow.
The master and the apprentice both fell apart and sat down on the ground. Looking at Zhang Yuanwai again, they actually fainted again.
……………………
"The evil spirit that haunted Yuanwai Zhang has been saved by the old Taoist. From now on, he only needs to rest in peace."
After appeasing the Zhang family and moving into the small courtyard arranged by the Zhang family, and dispersing the servants, the old Taoist turned to Li Changan and said.
"I'm afraid Zhang Yuanwai is not going to die soon, and all his energy has been exhausted. Otherwise, the ghost baby would not be saved so easily by our master and apprentice."
As he spoke, the old Taoist took out the good wine given by the Zhang family and poured it into the big gourd he carried with him, while telling his apprentice about his experiences in the world.
"You've seen the danger this time. You shouldn't take the job of a wealthy family if you can."
"Is it possible that this evil spirit who harms people also dislikes the poor and loves the rich?" Li Changan didn't think about it for a while.
The old Taoist sneered and whispered:
"In all cases, there is an injustice and a debtor, and there will be consequences for doing evil. What evil can a common man do? What evil can a wealthy family do? Look at which rich family has a few servants buried under the house, and the well has not been filled.
With a few maids. Ordinary people are haunted by ghosts, but wealthy families will be ruined!"
The old Taoist became more and more excited as he talked. Li Changan said: I didn't realize that he was still an old angry young man.
The old angry young man knocked on the table and concluded.
"The richer a family is, the more ferocious they are!"
"What about the blue-skinned devil with a reward on the city gate?"
Li Changan asked abruptly.
"That blue-skinned ghost is very fierce!" The old Taoist didn't take it seriously and shook his head and said, "Looking at the list, the blue-skinned ghost has already taken form. I'm afraid he is a great ghost who has achieved great success in spiritual practice.
It's not a bad idea to call out 'Yaksha', your master is so good..."
The old Taoist shook his head and said nothing, but suddenly saw from the corner of his eye that Li Changan was listening so intently that he almost didn't take notes.
"Huh? This kid usually listens to me and deals with things carelessly. When did he take it so seriously?" The old Taoist thought to himself, "That's not right..."
Just when I was about to ask something, I suddenly heard the sound of gongs, drums and suona coming from outside the door.
The old Taoist looked at his apprentice again, and Li Changan already had an apology on his face.
The old man suddenly stood up, rushed to the door two or three times, and pushed open the door.
I saw that the small courtyard was crowded with people, and a few players who played, played, and sang were mixed in, making noise with all their strength. The person in front of them was actually an official in a green robe.
The official bowed his hands to the old Taoist and said:
"I am Wang Deyuan, the magistrate of Yulin County. I have met Master Xuanji."
Master Xuanji? Me?
The old Taoist was in a daze and didn't return the greeting for a moment. Magistrate Wang didn't care much. In the era when demons existed, there were many monks and Taoists who smiled proudly, so he just thought that the old Taoist was a master.
"That blue-skinned evil spirit has brought trouble to our hometown, and the people of Yulin are in constant fear. Master Xuanji is willing to step forward and not shy away from dangers to remove this evil obstacle for the people of Yulin and restore peace to me. I, Wang Deyuan, would like to thank the people of Yulin."
Master Xuanji!"
"Clang."
The old Taoist's eyebrows and beard trembled, and the gourd in his hand fell to the ground.
Get rid of the blue-skinned devil? Me?
When the old man is confused and confused.
"My master observed the sky last night and found out..." Li Changan came out from behind Lao Dao, "This evil ghost was originally a yaksha in the underworld. He escaped to the human world when the underworld was unprepared and turned into a beautiful woman to eat people. He just escaped.
In the underworld, I was hungry and exhausted, so I cheated. Now I am full of human flesh..."
The implication frightened everyone in the courtyard to exclaim, "You can still eat people when you are so hungry, but now you are full and full of water, you can still eat them!"
The old Taoist felt helpless while looking at this scene.
This skill of making false threats was taught to Li Changan by an old Taoist, but what is this guy trying to do now?
Li Changan saw that the effect was good and added some ingredients.
"I asked the local city god yesterday and found out that this evil spirit likes to eat young girls with tender skin and tender flesh."
As soon as these words came out, several teenagers who were accompanying their father and brother to join in the fun suddenly screamed in fright.
After a period of confusion, someone finally found someone smart.
With a "plop", he fell to the ground.
"Master Xuanji, help me!"
There was a leader, and a large number of them were thrown down one after another in the yard, shouting some random words.
The old Taoist became more and more speechless.
You asked me to help? Who should I turn to for help? What kind of apprentice have I accepted?
However, Li Changan ignored his master's bitter look and said with a smile: "My master is the master of Shangjingmen. How can a little Yaksha bother him to go out in person?"
Say it, he took a step forward and walked to Lao Dao.
"Those who do such trivial things are naturally inferior."
The old Taoist's expression suddenly changed. He finally understood what his apprentice wanted to do.
He has to get rid of that blue-skinned evil spirit alone!
The old Taoist grabbed Li Changan, pulled him back into the room, closed the door, and asked urgently in a low voice:
"Are you looking for death?"
The old Taoist himself has been practicing Taoism for decades and has not dared to look for the evil ghost. Li Changan didn't even enter the door, so he was just lighting a lantern in the pit!
"Master." Li Changan also knew that this was difficult to accept, so he had no choice but to explain, "I have some reasons why I have to go."
"Master! Master!" The old Taoist didn't listen to Li Changan's explanation and said angrily, "I don't want to be a dead man's master!"
"Knowing what is most important in our profession?"
Li Changan recalled the previous questions and answers.
"Have a meal?"
"Shit!" The old man was so excited that his saliva was splashing all over the place, "Of course safety is the most important thing!"
When he got excited, the old man kept poking Li Changan's head with his hands. Li Changan knew he was wrong and didn't dodge.
"Without a neck, what are you going to eat?"
"Don't be too strong! Don't be too strong!" The old Taoist kept walking back and forth quickly, "How many times have I told you along the way - Don't be too strong!"
"The Chonglong Jade Talisman I taught you was used by other brothers to chase monsters and ghosts, but I used it to hide from monsters and ghosts. He laughed at me for being timid, but what happened in the end? I'm not the only one alive!"
The old Taoist took out the small gourd and poured a big mouthful into his mouth.
"That's right, I'm talking about your Uncle Xuanxiao. He has been trying to be strong all his life, but he was so old that he was finally eaten by monsters. He couldn't even find a bone!"
As he spoke, tears filled the old Taoist's eyes. He picked up the gourd again, but this time there was a trace of distress in his eyes. In the end, he just took another small sip, then carefully gagged the bottle and put it back in his arms.
Li Changan was about to speak but stopped.
Then he silently spread out the notice sheet in his hand, turned the little yellow book in his arms to the page about evil spirits, and put the two pages together.
Although the evil spirits in the two pictures are slightly different, by comparing the characteristics, it can be found that they are obviously the same evil ghost.
The veteran looked at the two pictures blankly, and he finally understood why Li Changan wanted to do this. He knew that his apprentice was obsessed with this picture, and he would open it and take a look at it every time.
He suddenly stood up and slammed the table.
"If you want to die, just go ahead and treat yourself as my disciple!"
After saying that, he pushed open the door angrily and walked out.
On the table he had photographed, a talisman outlined with cinnabar and outlined with gold lines lay quietly there.
After a long time.
Li Changan walked out of the house and looked at the anxious crowd outside. He called Magistrate Wang with a smile and handed over a blueprint.
"Please help me build it as soon as possible."
"This is a magic weapon used to eliminate demons!"
