Seeing that Long Chen was so cheerful, Zhu Yong was secretly happy and said, "To be honest with you, Taoist Master, our Zhuangzi used to be quite good, but then for some unknown reason, it suddenly became haunted."
"We also invited the mage from Zhaoti Temple to come over and perform the ritual. After the ritual, we stayed quiet for a while."
"But it started again recently. My ninth concubine, Runyu, saw a ghost. Last night..."
When talking about what happened last night, Zhu Yong's expression changed drastically, and even Zhu Lie's expression changed. Both of them were very scared and unwilling to mention what happened last night.
Zhu Yong didn't dare to say anything further, so Long Chen took out six copper coins from his sleeves and scattered them on the table.
The front, back and position of the six copper coins were different, so Long Chen classified the upper and lower hexagrams, as well as the hexagram images accordingly.
After watching for a while, Long Chen looked up at Zhu Yong and said: "Thirteen!"
Zhu Yong and Zhu Lie were both shocked and exclaimed: "The Taoist priest's calculations are really accurate! It was Narcissus, the thirteenth-room concubine, who appeared in his room!"
Zhu Yong believed even more that Long Chen was an expert outside the world.
Long Chen received six copper coins, his face was a little heavy, and he said: "Master, this hexagram not only tells where the evil spirit appears, but also says that this evil spirit has been there for more than 20 years. It is very powerful. I am afraid..."
Seeing what Long Chen said, Zhu Yong thought that Long Chen took the opportunity to ask for a price, and quickly said: "Don't worry, Taoist Priest, the money for the ritual is not an issue. As long as the evil spirits can be driven away, everything will be easy!"
Long Chen shook his head and sighed and said with a smile: "That's not what I meant. What is a wandering Taoist like me doing with so much money?"
"This female ghost has been harboring grudges for 20 years. She is really powerful. If you want to subjugate her, you must go to the altar and do the magic. Please strike her to death with thunder from the Zi Mansion."
Zhu Yong and his son were dumbfounded when Long Chen said these words one after another.
The last time Master Jingyan came over to do this, he just chanted sutras and sent the Buddha to sprinkle talisman water.
Long Chen invited Zifu Tianlei as soon as he opened his mouth. This skill was so high that he completely crushed the monks from Zhaoti Temple.
"That's great. If thunder falls from the sky, all the evil women will die!"
Zhu Lie lay down on the armrest of the Grand Master's chair excitedly.
Zhu Yong heard the difficulty and asked, "What does the Taoist want me to do?"
Long Chen said: "I need the owner of the village to build an altar. Pindao will do it tonight, so hurry up!"
Zhu Yong immediately said: "No problem, the Taoist priest will tell you how to build the altar, and I will do it myself!"
Long Chen said: "Please bring the owner some pen and ink."
Zhu Yong immediately ordered people to bring pens and ink, and brought in tables.
Long Chen drew a seven-star altar on the paper, as well as the necessary flags of various colors, as well as three sacrifices to worship the Taoist ancestors, and incense candles.
"Pindao has written down the shape, dimensions, and things needed. Please prepare it immediately, owner of the village."
Zhu Yong took the drawings and immediately called the housekeeper Zhu Xi and asked him to prepare immediately.
"Taoist Priest, it's still early, please go to the guest room to rest."
Zhu Yong now respects Long Chen with utmost respect.
Long Chen stood up and said with a smile: "Sorry for disturbing you."
Zhu Yong said quickly: "What are you talking about? Thank you Taoist Priest. Please come with me."
Zhu Yong took Long Chen to the guest room. The furnishings inside were exquisite and luxurious, comparable to that of a prince.
This Zhu Yong owned tens of thousands of serfs, and the wealth he accumulated was enough for him to live a luxurious life.
"The house is humble and simple, so don't blame the Taoist priest."
Long Chen smiled and said: "The owner of the village is too modest. This is the first time I have seen such a luxurious guest room."
Zhu Yong smiled and said: "If you like it, Taoist Master, you can stay here forever."
With such a powerful Taoist priest like Long Chen, Zhu Yong wanted to demolish the Buddhist hall and build a Taoist temple specifically for Long Chen.
Long Chen declined politely: "Pindao is an idle savage who is used to wandering."
Zhu Yong said regretfully: "Then please ask the Taoist priest to stay here longer, and I will do my best to serve as a landlord."
Outside the door, a maid hurried over and stood at the door looking at Zhu Yong anxiously.
This person is the maid in the room of Narcissus, the concubine in the thirteenth room.
Zhu Yong glanced at Long Chen, smiled at Long Chen, and said: "Master Taoist, please forgive me, I..."
Long Chen smiled and said, "Master of the village, please do."
Zhu Yong walked out of the door and asked with an ugly face: "What's wrong?"
The maid bent over and lowered her head and said: "Master, madam, she has convulsions again and keeps shouting that there is a ghost..."
Zhu Yong felt a headache. This happened once, and the same happened to Runyun, the concubine of the Ninth House. There was nothing he could do.
Zhu Yong suddenly thought of Long Chen, turned around and entered the guest room, and said: "Taoist priest, my thirteenth-room concubine, she saw a ghost last night, and the evil spirits in her body broke out. Do you have any way to cure her?"
Long Chen said hesitantly: "This... I have to go and take a look to find out."
Long Chen's cautious statement made Zhu Yong even more convinced. He didn't like people who just opened their mouth and made sure.
"Thank you, Taoist priest. Please come this way."
Zhu Yong personally led the way into the house in the backyard.
There is a stone road of more than 100 meters, and a row of houses on the roadside, where a sixteen-room concubine lives.
When he reached the thirteenth house, Zhu Yong stopped and said, "Taoist Master, this is it."
Hearing the sound, the concubines in other rooms came out to watch the fun.
They looked here with curiosity, fear, and gloating.
Long Chen stood at the door, and suddenly a piece of yellow paper flew out of his sleeve, and shouted: "Broken!"
The yellow paper ignited fire in the air, and Zhu Yong was startled.
After burning the yellow paper, Long Chen ignored Zhu Yong and walked straight into the room.
The concubine Narcissus was lying on the bed, with a pale pink silk sheet underneath her, a navy blue silk pillow as her pillow, and a silk pajamas with a bellyband underneath.
Narcissus's eyes widened, and he grabbed his hands in the air, shouting randomly: "Don't eat me, don't eat me, go away...it's none of my business..."
Due to struggling and scratching, Narcissus' pajamas and bellyband were opened, revealing her fair and tender skin.
The serving maid suddenly saw a Taoist priest coming in and was startled.
Zhu Yong walked in behind him, and the maid hurriedly greeted him: "Master of the village!"
Zhu Yong looked at the crazy and frightened Narcissus and said quickly: "Put the blanket over her."
The maid quickly brought a blanket to cover Narcissus' body.
Long Chen secretly cursed in his heart: Damn it, don't you look at me twice more? You're a stingy brat!
"Taoist Priest, is there anything you can do?"
Long Chen looked embarrassed, turned to face the door, pretended to leave, and said: "There is a way, but... oh, this... men and women cannot be intimate."
Zhu Yong knew what Long Chen meant. He was a very possessive man and couldn't accept Long Chen touching Narcissus.
Long Chen just took a look at it, and Zhu Yong asked the maid to cover Narcissus' body.
"This...could it be said that skin contact is required for a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits?"
Zhu Yong felt sick when he thought about Long Chen touching Narcissus.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "It's not necessary, it's just that the poor monk needs to use the magic needle. When inserting the needle, he can't wear too many clothes...hey, forget it, the village owner has so many concubines.
"
Zhu Yong had many concubines, that was true, but Narcissus was the most watery and he liked them the most.
Seeing Narcissus turning crazy, he couldn't bear it.
Gritting his teeth, Zhu Yong said: "It's okay. Taoist monks, let alone wearing less clothes, it doesn't matter if they don't wear any clothes."
"Come here, serve the Taoist priest to exorcise demons!"
The maid immediately brought a stool, placed it next to the bed, and took away the blanket from Narcissus.
That fair and fat skin appeared in front of his eyes again, making Long Chen feel a little greedy.
Of course, the second brother is greedy. The expression on Long Chen's face is very serious. It's like looking at a patient. There are only organs and no people in his eyes.
