"This is the Taoist priest our villagers raised money to invite from Qingxiao Temple in Donghe County, Taoist Mu Yunzi. I don't know that the government just invited an expert here today..."
"Taoist Priest Mu Yunzi?"
Sanhua Empress suddenly turned her head and looked.
I saw this was a thin old Taoist with a beard, wearing a brand new Bagua Taoist robe, and there were two young disciples also wearing Taoist robes beside him. He was carrying large and small bags of things, and a beautifully made peach wood long sword came from
There was someone sticking out of the package, looking at her.
Empress Sanhua became alert.
There is no way, since I have been a Taoist priest, many of the Taoist priests I have interacted with seem to be quite remarkable. In addition, with my own Taoist priests, it is difficult not to leave an impression in Mao'er's mind that most Taoist priests are very powerful.
"I am a poor Taoist, Mu Yunzi, who practices at Qingxiao Temple in Donghe County. May I ask my little fellow Taoist where he learned the art and what his skills are?"
"I am Empress Sanhua." Even though Empress Sanhua had a lot of thoughts in her mind, her face remained expressionless and she just stared at him, "Learn magic from the Taoist priests on Yinyang Mountain in Lingquan County, Yizhou."
"What a little Taoist friend..."
"I am the son of a Taoist priest."
"I see……"
Mu Yunzi looked at the little girl up and down, not daring to neglect her for a moment.
Even though there are many swindlers in Changjing, and there are endless ways to deceive people, and sometimes even high-ranking officials in the court will fall for it if they are not careful, how can such a young girl come out to exorcise evil spirits and swindle money?
What's more, this little girl is extremely beautiful and has a flawless face. I'm afraid even the royal children wouldn't be able to take such good care of them when they were young. A closer look shows that her expression and behavior are different from those of ordinary girls. In addition, she was solemnly invited by the government.
She also said that her master had gotten rid of any female ghost in Peach Blossom Mountain before. No matter what, it can be seen that she is not ordinary.
Taoist friends are Mu Yunzi's collective name for people in Xuanmen.
Unexpectedly, she actually came from Taoism.
I think it probably has a great heritage.
However, I don’t know who knows how to be an expert, but he also released his own disciples at such a young age for training.
It's just that I don't dare to neglect or despise. It doesn't matter how much I take it seriously. The practice of magic depends on time. This Taoist childhood record is too young. He probably has some skills. He can't be said to be specializing in it.
He also has considerable attainments in a certain aspect, so he dares to be sent to exorcise evil spirits and subjugate demons. However, it is impossible to say that he has great abilities.
Mu Yunzi looked around, as if wanting to see if the little girl's master was hiding nearby.
"Pindao has heard that there is Qingcheng Mountain in Yizhou, but he is ignorant and doesn't know that there is also Yinyang Mountain..."
"We have also been to Qingcheng Mountain."
"oh?"
"It's not that great!"
"..."
Mu Yunzi smiled and shook his head. He didn't believe it or not. Why should he take a child's words seriously? He just asked: "Dare you ask my little fellow Taoist Master's name?"
"Master?" Sanhua Empress was stunned for a moment, but she was smart after all. She quickly realized that he was talking about her own Taoist priest. She only thought about it for a moment before replying, "Taoist priests don't have Taoist names."
"Haven't you taken it yet?"
"Not picked up yet."
"I wonder if your respected master is nearby?"
"He's keeping watch at home."
"ah……"
Mu Yunzi couldn't help but look disappointed.
"ah……"
The little girl stared at him.
Mu Yunzi was stunned for a moment before he realized that this little Taoist boy was trying to imitate his own words. Then he couldn't help but smile and continued to salute and asked, "But I don't know what my little Taoist boy is capable of. How do you plan to ward off evil spirits?"
"!"
The little girl's expression became more alert.
"Huh? Why do you little fellow Taoist look at Pindao like this?"
"Do you want to share the money of Empress Sanhua?"
"Huh? Oh! The little fellow Taoist misunderstood that the little fellow Taoist was invited by the government and received the reward from the yamen, while the poor fellow was invited by the villagers who raised money and received the reward from the villagers. There is no contradiction between the two."
"Can't understand."
"I won't share my little fellow Taoist's money."
"..."
Empress Sanhua turned her head and looked at the elder.
"really."
The old elder nodded and replied.
So Sanhua Empress told him: "Sanhua Empress is waiting here. When the zombie comes out at night, Sanhua Empress will get rid of it and then take the money."
"..."
It's almost like not saying anything.
Mu Yunzi was a little angry. Fortunately, most cultivators were patient. Facing such a little girl, he was in a good mood, so he said patiently: "I heard that the evil thing often wanders around in the countryside. Although this peach blossom
The village is the place where it comes most often, but it doesn’t necessarily come tonight. If we have to wait in vain, I don’t know how long it will take.”
"Miss Sanhua is very patient."
"Despite this, it is better to expel evil spirits and subjugate them as soon as possible rather than later."
"Miss Sanhua, I think you are right." The little girl nodded without thinking too much. Apparently she had already thought about it in her mind, "Zombies like to eat meat and drink blood. You can lure them here."
"Exactly! The poor man planned to kill a chicken and use the bloody smell to attract it! Then he would open an altar and ask God to get rid of it!"
"A chicken?"
"What's wrong?"
Sanhua Empress stared at him, stood there and thought for a moment, and quickly said: "Give the chicken to Sanhua Empress. Sanhua Empress has other ways to attract it."
"I don't know what to do?"
"Miss Sanhua catches some mice."
"..."
Mu Yunzi couldn't help but look her up and down.
As if he noticed something, he frowned slightly.
However, remembering that the little girl had said that she had learned skills from a Taoist priest before, and then glanced at the two guards in uniforms behind her, Mu Yunzi did not say anything and continued the discussion: "I heard that the evil spirits in Taohua Village
There are many martial arts warriors and folk experts who have not been able to get rid of it, and it is not easy to deal with it. It is best for us to discuss how to join forces and strive to be absolutely foolproof, and not let it escape."
"OK!"
"Pindao's Qingxiao Temple is dedicated to the righteous god of the Thunder Department. Currently, it is dedicated to Zhou Lei Gong, the chief officer of the Thunder Department. Although Pindao has not practiced the Five Thunder Methods, he has a way to invite gods. Zhou Lei is an upright and diligent person. If Pindao tells him that the old man
There is evil and trouble here. If you ask him to take action, he will respond. It's just that it takes time to open the altar, and it also takes time for the gods to respond. I don't know what the ability of the evil thing is. If my little Taoist friend can hold it back, that would be the best."
"Leigong Zhou?"
"Yes."
"Empress Sanhua knows Zhou Lei Gong."
"Does my little fellow Taoist temple also serve Zhou Lei Gong?"
"have no idea……"
"What the poor Taoist said just now..."
"What I just said..."
"The evil thing is very powerful, and I am not completely sure about it. I just can't bear to see the villagers suffer from it, so I have the courage to come to exorcise the evil spirit, so I want to join hands with my fellow Taoists to eliminate the evil spirit."
"I know." Sanhua Empress raised her head and looked at him, "You can't beat it."
"There is no complete certainty."
"You really don't want to share our money?"
"Won't."
"Then you hide!"
"...Young fellow Taoist, are you very confident?"
"Sanhua Empress is not afraid of zombies."
All things in the world are interdependent. A rat demon who has practiced Taoism for hundreds of years will be afraid in the presence of Empress Sanhua. However, all ghosts and ghosts are afraid of fire, and even more afraid of real fire. Empress Sanhua specializes in fire magic, so she is naturally very confident.
Even if it doesn't burn to death, it can burn away.
Even if you can't run away after being burned, zombies are transformed from humans, and humans are stupid and slow, so they can't catch cats, let alone Sanhua Empress.
"..." Mu Yunzi looked at her, thought carefully, and then nodded, "In this case, the poor Taoist will set up the altar in the house, and first gather the array for the little Taoist friends, and then decide to open the altar to invite the gods based on the situation.
.”
"If that zombie isn't powerful, don't call it Thunder God."
"Do you, my little fellow Taoist, hate Lord Thunder?"
Mu Yunzi narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
"I don't hate Zhou Lei Gong."
"Is it?"
"Yes!"
"Just follow my little fellow Taoist..."
The old man and the young man continued to discuss.
The old Taoist priest's tone was not arrogant, and the little girl also answered the question succinctly. However, in the eyes of the villagers and the catchers, this scene was somewhat strange, and when it was thought of as a spiritual practice, it felt magical.
The swallow on the roof turned its head to preen its feathers while trying to write down their conversation.
Not long after, the old elder called another villager who had seen the evil thing with his own eyes and survived, and told him what the evil thing looked like.
But that was more than two years ago.
At that time, he went out to catch snakes under the moonlight. When he came back, he met the evil creature that had just eaten the sheep in the village. He said it looked similar to a human. It was wearing clothes that could not be distinguished from which dynasty and generation. It was tattered, but
His facial features could no longer tell that he looked human. He had a green face and fangs, a mouth full of blood, white hair on his head, and his body was half-shattered. As soon as he saw him, he ran after him, roaring.
The man was almost frightened to death.
Fortunately, he was also a middle-aged man. He reacted quickly and ran away, with the evil thing chasing after him.
It was really scary at night.
Finally, the man had an idea and climbed up the tree. As expected, the evil thing couldn't climb trees. It had not become popular at that time, and it was not as smart as it is now. So it anxiously circled around the tree, making eerie sounds as it circled.
It growled in fear and drooled from its mouth, but no matter how anxious it was, it could not touch the man on the tree.
The man was so frightened that he had no choice but to hug the tree trunk tightly and spend the most difficult night in the tree.
When the rooster crows at five o'clock, the thing goes away.
Until the people in the village found the man, he was frightened and unconscious while holding the tree. The tree was stepped on by the thing and a round circle was formed on the ground. The saliva also fell in a circle, and the smell was unpleasant.
It's like a ghost story that old people often tell.
After listening to this, Empress Sanhua wanted to imitate her own Taoist priests and quickly analyze what kind of evil thing it was, what she was most afraid of, and how to get rid of it in the simplest and most convenient way. However, as soon as she started to get started, she immediately found that her knowledge reserve did not support it.
After doing this, he quietly gave up.
Fortunately no one else noticed it.
The two of them began to prepare themselves.
Mu Yunzi chose a village house that was convenient for observation and escape, and placed an altar, incense burners, tributes, incense, candles, and talismans in the house, as well as many things to open the altar to invite the gods.
Sanhua Empress walked around the village. She didn't know what she was looking for, so she didn't ask, so she just looked for it by herself, with the attitude of doing everything by herself. Until she found a pile of big stones, she started to move the stones towards the village.
When we were moving in the village, the two trappers and the villagers came to help.
It’s amazing to say——
The big bluestone, which is thicker than the waist, cannot be carried by the strong labor force in the village, and it is difficult for the young hunter who practices martial arts to hold it, but the little girl can hold it relatively easily.
When the villagers saw this, they couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
But I still don’t know what this Sanhua Empress is doing with so many big rocks. Could it be that she wants to smash the evil thing to death?
Seeing that the sun was setting more and more, the villagers did not dare to stay here for a long time. They just followed Mu Yunzi's request, delivered all the things, and left one after another, leaving only two catchers.
Empress Sanhua kept her promise and actually caught a few mice, smashed them to death on the spot, tied their tails and hung them on a tree at the entrance of the village, letting them be blown by the wind to disperse the smell of blood.
It's getting darker and later.
Mu Yunzi and two apprentices who were inexperienced and afraid of zombies entered the house, closed the door, and only looked out through the window hole. After the two catchers asked Sanhua Empress, they also hid in the dark with knives, leaving only
The little girl was sitting alone in the empty village, motionless, doing nothing and not knowing what she was thinking.
It wasn't until dark that she climbed onto the roof.
Both the catcher and Mu Yunzi saw her climbing up to the roof, easily and effortlessly. Her movements were not like those of a human being, but rather like an animal that was good at climbing trees.
Then he saw her sitting on the roof again. She put her hand into the bag she had brought with her and took out a small flag.
"brush!"
The flag waved casually.
"Come wolf!"
Suddenly a cloud of black smoke was emitted. The black smoke was so thick that it could be seen clearly under the moonlight. When it hit the ground, it turned into a pack of big wolves.
They are all big, strong and muscular wolves, with beautiful figures, neat hair, and neatly arranged rows. There may be more than ten of them, which is not a small pack in the wild.
Mu Yunzi's three masters, his disciples, and the two guards couldn't help but open their eyes wide when they saw this.
However, I heard a gust of wind again.
"Canopy..."
It was the sound of flags waving and cloth shaking.
Another puff of black smoke spread out.
When we landed, there was another pack of big wolves.
Before the five people had time to be surprised, they heard several more sounds in succession, and several clouds of black smoke were scattered into the sky, turning into big wolves when they hit the ground.
There are probably more than a hundred of them now, and they are so densely packed that the roads in the village can barely pass through them.
There are more than a hundred big wolves, even if they are as ferocious as ordinary wolves, it is not easy to deal with them.
The little girl on the roof waved the flag again, but this time she could not emit black smoke. She looked down at the flag, and it could be seen from her expression that the wolf seemed to be gone.
The five of them breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, the little girl waved hard again.
"Canopy!"
Another big cloud of black smoke.
The black smoke condensed in the air and slowly fell to the ground, turning into a striking white-fronted tiger, almost the size of a calf. Originally looking at the muscular and muscular wolves, when I compared it next to the tiger, I suddenly felt like
They are like a bunch of puppies.
The five people were completely stunned.
Then he saw the little girl waving the flag casually, and without seeing any movement, the wolves dispersed and quickly disappeared into the village. The tiger raised his head and glanced at the girl casually, and left slowly.
Back on Zhubei Mountain, there were quite a few evil tigers that were collected into the flag, some were strong and some were weak, and the strongest ones were the ones that had become spirits. This one was not the strongest among them, but it was not the weakest either.
, just because it had a relatively good temper and was gentle during its lifetime, after several months of efforts by Empress Sanhua, it became the first tiger that could be manifested by Empress Sanhua, and it was also the only tiger that could be manifested.
The Flower Lady liked it very much and named it Big Tiger.
The tigers in Zhubei Mountain are all extraordinary, and they frightened the few people who were hiding.
After doing all this, Sanhua Empress turned around and looked around, then she casually lay back on her upper body and simply lay down on the thatched roof, motionless.
The sky was completely dark and the moon was clear.
At some point, a wolf howl suddenly sounded in the distance.
"Ouch~~"
The wolf's howl was long and clear, resounding through the night sky.
The three masters and apprentices hiding in the house and the trapper hiding in the thatch suddenly became nervous. At the same time, the little girl on the roof straightened up instantly and turned to look in the direction where the wolf howling came from.
As if he could clearly see the movement in the distance through the night sky, he didn't turn his head back for a long time.
Under the moonlight, something evil is coming to the village.
