The swallows also flew back and stood on the eaves combing their feathers.
The dark heads were all in one place, and the firelight and lanterns were all in one place, illuminating the shadows. Some were in the courtyard, some were outside the door, some were saluting, some were kneeling down, and all of them expressed their thanks loudly.
"Everyone please get up quickly, but I can't do it." The Taoist stood in front and quickly raised the people who were kneeling, especially the old man in front of him who was suffering from evil spells. He had to help him up personally, "Since
You have come here to find out, and there are really evil spirits causing trouble, so there is absolutely no reason to ignore it. Since you have really helped me with some help and given some ideas, you will accept them with thanks. It is just a small effort, but it is nothing.
Never give a big gift."
"Thank you sir..."
"Your courage to fight against the evil spirits is also an important reason for capturing the evil spirits. If I have to thank you, I have to thank you all." Song You smiled and said, "I wonder how you are doing now?"
"Thanks to Mr. Liu Sanye for taking the risk and tearing off the plaster first. Now we have all torn off the plaster without any injuries." The man surnamed Li glanced at a frail old man beside him, paused and couldn't help but smile.
Looking at Song You expectantly, "It's just that my second uncle is blind, but I don't know if the gods have any magic method..."
"I am not a god." Song You shook his head and said, "I don't know what others are like, but I am not."
"well……"
"What happened to the evil thing?"
"In a fit of anger, we beat him to death." The man surnamed Li couldn't help but speak. He didn't know whether he was excited or afraid, "It's strange to say that after we beat him to death, the beggar actually
It turned into a large black stone, illuminated by the firelight, and seemed to be slightly translucent."
"Dashi..."
"Exactly!" the man surnamed Li replied.
"When I surrounded it before, hitting it with a stick was like hitting a rice bag, but hitting it with a knife or axe, it was like cutting on a stone, with slag falling off, and the thing was in great pain." Standing a man surnamed Li.
Another person next to me also added, "I was in a hurry and it was dark, so I didn't see what fell. Later, it looked like lanterns and torches, and it was all black stone debris."
"How did you kill him?"
"I used two of Mr.'s bamboo sticks to beat it to death. I also chopped it with many knives and chopped it to pieces."
"I see."
There must be no way to escape.
This bamboo stick has been with Song You for eight years since the spring of the second year of Mingde. Song You often used it to perform spells, and it could naturally drive away evil spirits and subdue demons. There were few ordinary monsters that could not be killed with a stick.
But Song You frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Before you beat it to death, did you ask where it came from and why it came to cause trouble in the city?"
"Of course I asked!"
The man surnamed Li quickly stood up again, raised his hands and said: "Although we were angry, we were not so reckless. We asked about it before beating him to death. The thing said that it had been there since ancient times, but it had been sleeping all the time.
In the underground outside the city, I was kicked awake by my father and my second uncle walking at night. Then I fell asleep and followed my father and my second uncle to Yangdu City.
“It’s really hateful to harm people as soon as you come here!
"After hearing this, the neighbors couldn't bear it anymore and beat it to death on the spot!"
When everyone listened, they were still angry and gnashing their teeth.
"That is not bad……"
Song You breathed a sigh of relief.
I was afraid that these people would be so angry that they would beat the evil spirit to death on the spot without caring about anything, so I asked him a few questions.
"I have brought some stones to the Master to show to the Immortal Master. The big one is still lying in the alley, cold and evil. It is late today. We dare not move rashly. We should arrest him.
The servant of the Liao family, Da Liang, said that he would move to the Yamen tomorrow." A strong man behind him took out a few pieces of gravel from his pocket. Under the light of the fire, it turned out to be pitch black. The others around him were afraid and hurriedly avoided it.
When he had the courage to take it over and hand it to Song You, others gathered around and said, "If Master Immortal wants to see that big stone, move it to the Yamen tomorrow morning. We will move it over first and show Master Immortal."
"..."
Song You also lowered his head and took a closer look.
The total of several stones is only about the size of a palm. It is pitch black, but it is not completely black. Now under the firelight, it is faintly translucent. If it is during the day when the sun is at its strongest, it should be dark gray or dark brown. Unless it is a big piece, it will be dark gray or dark brown.
Appearing inky black.
I don’t know what kind of stone it is, but it does have a strong aura, and the yin and evil energy is overwhelming. The strong man is full of energy, and he can’t help but shake it back and forth when he holds it in his hand, as if his hands feel cold.
It is undoubtedly a dead creature that has become a spirit.
"Dead things become spirits..."
Song You narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
It is most difficult to turn dead things into spirits. The conditions are often harsh. Not only does it have to be in a special place with rich spiritual energy and mysterious charm, but it also takes a long time to slowly absorb the creation of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon. Song You met me after so many years down the mountain.
There are not many dead things that turn into spirits.
It has existed since ancient times, but it is only now awakening...
Song You didn't doubt that the evil thing was lying before it died, because it was similar to what he had guessed.
"Although the evil things are dead, the yin energy and evil energy are too strong. If people come in contact with them for a long time, they will be harmful to the body. They will either be buried deep underground or put in the kiln where the tiles are fired and the pottery is burned all day long."
"oops……"
The strong man was immediately shocked and almost threw it away on the spot.
The rest of the people also quickly moved away.
Song You thought for a while and then said: "It's very rare for you to have the courage to fight against evil spirits today. You must know that neither ghosts nor evil spirits are that scary. People working together can break gold. If there is anything else in Yangdu City in the future
Strange things have happened to you or around you. Although you should not be too reckless, you should not be afraid and fearful. If you don't get what you ask for, you must ask for yourself."
"We'll find out later!"
"Follow the instructions of the Immortal Master!"
"Thank you, Immortal Master, for your guidance..."
"Since you are so brave." Song You just smiled, "I have a few words to tell you. If there are any ghosts in the future, they may not be useful."
"Master Immortal, please speak."
"Those who are strong in blood and courage are afraid of demons and ghosts. All demons and demons have strengths and weaknesses, and they have enemies and weaknesses. You should not act recklessly, but you can also find ways to fight against them." Song You said, looking around at the crowd, and continued.
He said, "If it is a monster, a sword or a gun will definitely penetrate it, and it will be invulnerable. It's just that the strength is not strong enough and the place cannot be cut. If it is a ghost, the blood of young people and warriors, as well as other yang and strong things, are applied on the blade.
You can kill them all.”
"I'll note it down later."
"There is something more important -"
"All ears!"
"The Lei Gong Temple is about to be built. Zhou Lei Gong is diligent. If you really can't deal with the evil spirits and ghosts, you can't overestimate your own capabilities. You can go to the temple to burn incense and petition. When petitioning, you must tell the details in detail, where the evil spirits are, how they have harmed people, and how many people they have harmed.
Make it clear, say it three times in a row, and if it doesn't work, repeat it every day." Song You said and suddenly smiled, "This is the best plan."
“Keep it in mind!”
Everyone quickly agreed.
Immediately, the man surnamed Li waved back, and a younger man who looked more or less similar to him came forward holding a tray covered with a red cloth.
"In the past few days, I have wasted a lot of money, but I have been unable to do anything about the evil. I have to beg the immortal master, otherwise I will spend a lot of money and be tortured by the evil for who knows how long." The man surnamed Li said as he spoke.
While uncovering the red cloth, there were a few pieces of patterned silver and some scattered silver coins inside, "Every household collected it. Those with money collected more, and those with difficulties collected less. This is our gratitude and our filial piety to the immortal master."
, please be sure to accept it, Master Immortal."
The girl next to the Taoist held the bowl and chopsticks and stood still, but stood on tiptoes and looked at the tray. For a moment, her eyes widened involuntarily and her breathing became stagnant.
"I ask the Immortal Master to accept it..."
Everyone shouted the same thing in confusion.
"I said it was both gratitude and filial piety. Gratitude is okay, but filial piety is not." Song You thought for a while and then said, "Then I'll take half of it."
"..."
The man surnamed Li was stunned when he heard this and immediately regretted it.
Several old men around him turned to stare at him.
I saw the Taoist reaching out and scratching the tray——
"Wow..."
All coins start from the middle and are automatically divided into two sides.
The girl behind her who was too beautiful to look like a mortal doll quickly put the dishes and chopsticks back on the stone table, ran forward quickly, and took half of the money from the man surnamed Li into her arms.
It's exactly half. I just wish I couldn't get more, but it's not less than a copper.
"Where's the bamboo stick down there?"
They saw the Taoist looking at them with a smile.
"The immortal master's magic weapon was previously given to Huo Erniu." As the man surnamed Li said, he straightened up, looked left and right, then turned back, looking for Huo Erniu.
Many people behind him also looked back.
"?"
The man surnamed Li's expression suddenly froze.
Huo Erniu was originally strong and eye-catching, so it shouldn't be difficult to find him. Besides, I told him well when I came here that he should be well followed by me. Why is he gone now?
I saw many fire lanterns connected together, illuminating the courtyard with shadows, but Huo Erniu was nowhere to be seen?
"Huo Erniu!"
"Where is Huo Erniu?"
Everyone shouted, but no one responded.
The girl who had just received the money had a hardened look on her face.
There was only a slight gust of wind, and a swallow flew from the eaves behind him to the eaves nearby. He opened his mouth and uttered human words: "That man took the teacher's bamboo stick and ran out of the city."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and everyone opened their eyes wide.
This is undoubtedly something no one could have imagined.
I was only so surprised by this incident that I forgot to be surprised by the talking swallow.
"broken!"
The man surnamed Li was dumbfounded on the spot and quickly fell down.
"ah?"
"How dare he?"
"These two cows are so stupid!"
"These charlatans have no brains!"
"You Li Dalang! Tell me about you! The immortal master gave the magic weapon to you, how could you hand it over to anyone else at will?"
"Immortal Master, forgive me..."
"What's the crime? You have to find it!"
The rest of the people were also shocked and angry, and started talking about it.
"Immortal Master, forgive me! The Immortal Master previously told me to hand over the magic weapon to the hands of the brave and skilled people, so I handed it over to Huo Erniu. Huo Erniu was so bold that he once stayed in the grave for a hundred coins.
In the field and the ghost house, after fighting the evil spirits today, the villain wanted to take the magic weapon back, but he said that the villain was weak and could not suppress the magic weapon of the immortal master, so the villain asked him to take it and follow behind, but he never thought of him.
You are so brave! You must be taking advantage of today's dark time to steal the immortal master's magic weapon!"
The man surnamed Li was terrified.
As he spoke, he looked up.
But the girl's face was serious, and the swallow was combing its hair lazily on the eaves, and the gentleman came over and gently helped him up.
"It doesn't matter, no one would have thought of this kind of accident. It is not the fault of one person. You don't have to worry about it. You have worked hard today and you were frightened again, so go back and have a good rest." The Taoist said with a slight smile, "I like people with unique personalities.
When dealing with people, that person dared to do this, which is very human to think about."
