"Young master, you are too generous, and it is getting late. Otherwise, if I had only offered you two merit coins, Baiyun Temple would have given you a meal."
On the way down the mountain, Uncle Li said a little naggingly.
Even his previous master was not so generous.
Lu Zheng rubbed his chin and ignored Uncle Li, just thinking in his mind.
Evil!
These are the original words of Taoist Master Mingzhang, which also explains the function of this Taoist talisman.
The world once again opened up a corner of its skirts to him.
…
Go down the mountain, get in the car, and walk all the way back.
"Uncle Li, do you think there are really ghosts in this world?"
"Yes, why not?" Uncle Li said with a common sense expression. "Last year, Zhang Yuan's wife's house in the county was troubled by a ghost. Then a wandering Taoist priest took action and took away the ghost."
Lu Zheng:(⊙o⊙)!!
So it’s just that I don’t have common sense?
Lu Zheng was speechless, but if he thought about it, common sense questions would be asked by anyone who has nothing to do.
And as ordinary people, they will subconsciously avoid these topics that are beyond their scope of dealing with, which will make themselves feel more secure.
"But don't worry, sir, the Jing Dynasty is still in power in this world. There are city gods stationed in every state and county. Most people may not see foreign objects once in their lives." Li Bo comforted Lu Zheng.
Why did a city god pop up again?
Uncle Li, how much common sense do you still have that you haven’t told me?
Lu Zheng sighed. Most people will never experience abnormal events in their lives, so most people live a normal life.
On the surface everything is calm, but privately there are undercurrents.
The two worlds are so similar, but they are expressed in different ways.
That’s all, let’s explore slowly by ourselves.
…
"Have a ride!" The driver drove the donkey cart along the rugged mountain road, and soon turned onto the official road.
Lu Zheng moved his buttocks and felt better.
Through the car window, I saw that the sky was already covered with red clouds, the sun became red and huge, and was slowly setting from the west.
"Zhang Laoshi, hurry up, or we won't be able to get back to the county before the sun sets. We don't want to walk at night." Li Bo saw Lu Zheng frowning and urged him.
"Young master, please forgive me, my donkey is old and this is already the fastest." The coachman Zhang Laoshi said hurriedly, "But don't worry, this beast has great endurance and will definitely be able to return to the county seat before dark."
Lu Zheng nodded and turned to the official road at this time. Even if he couldn't advance to the county seat after dark, he was only one mile away, not far away.
Seeing Lu Zheng nod, Li Bo stopped urging him.
A few people fell silent, and the only sounds left on the official road were the squeaking of cars and the kicking of donkeys.
Lu Zheng was looking at the scenery under the sunset when he suddenly saw a figure walking alone on the roadside in front of the official road.
As the donkey cart approached, Lu Zheng saw the figure more clearly.
It should be a woman, carrying a blue coarse cloth bag, wearing an aqua Sulu dark flower skirt, with a moon-facing bun on her head, and a brass hairpin stuck in it.
She has a slender figure, swaying step by step, and from time to time she raises her hand to wipe sweat or lift the baggage on her back. I don't know how long she has been walking at this time, and it seems to be quite difficult.
Zhang Laoshi subconsciously looked back at Lu Zheng.
However, Lu Zheng remained expressionless, "It's only a few miles away from the county seat, and it's an official road along the way, so there's no danger."
The implication is that it doesn't matter.
Zhang Laoshi's eyes darkened and he muttered, not knowing what to say. He just turned around and continued driving without saying a word.
Uncle Li also gave Lu Zheng a strange look. He didn't know why he, who usually had an easy-going personality, didn't show any pity to her this time.
Tapping...tapping...
The donkey cart swayed past the woman.
Zhang Laoshi and Li Bo couldn't help but look at the woman, and Lu Zheng couldn't help himself and glanced sideways.
She looks to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slender figure, almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks, and scattered sideburns. She gasps lightly and then purses her lips tightly. Her face is rosy with a touch of bluish white, and there is a trace of unique perseverance exuding in her temptation.
.
What a lovely little girl from Xiaojiabiyu.
But it was just a face-to-face encounter, and the two sides had already passed each other. Although the donkey cart was swaying, it was much faster than walking.
"Young Master?" Li Bo asked Lu Zheng again.
Lu Zheng let go and looked down at the peace charm in his hand.
The peace charm showed no response.
Could it be that I am too worried?
Lu Zheng nodded and was about to let go when a charming oriole-like voice came from behind the car, "The noble man in the car ahead, can you be kind and give me a lift?"
Seeing Lu Zheng nodding, Uncle Li was about to greet Zhang Laoshi, but after hearing the woman's voice, Zhang Laoshi had already pulled up the reins and was about to stop the car.
At this moment, Lu Zheng's cold voice suddenly sounded, "Go straight and don't stop!"
"Why?"
Li Bo was stunned, and Zhang Laoshi had already subconsciously waved the whip in his hand.
"It's a good idea!"
Tapping...tapping...
The donkey trotted for a while, even slightly accelerating a few steps, and then walked further and further away, leaving the woman far behind.
Seeing that the donkey cart was not stopping, the woman stopped shouting, just wiped her sweat, picked up her bag, and continued on her way.
"Master?"
Lu Zheng's face was stiff, his heart was pounding wildly, and a cold air shot up from his tailbone.
At this time, one side of the peace talisman in his hand was curled up and turned brown, as if it had been burned by fire from afar.
…
It happened when the woman was talking!
At that time, Lu Zheng was about to agree, and the woman happened to shout.
At the same time as the charming voice sounded, the peace charm in Lu Zheng's hand suddenly emitted a burst of heat, well, it was like a hand warmer.
Then one side of the talisman paper started to brown.
At the same time, a cold feeling emerged, and Lu Zheng also faintly smelled a stench.
It wasn't until Lu Zheng gave the order and the donkey cart left far away that the heat of the talisman paper dissipated and the brown color stopped spreading.
…
When Lu Zheng heard Uncle Li's question, he didn't say anything and just showed him the paper charm in his hand.
Uncle Li's eyes widened and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Uncle Li looked at Lu Zheng and wondered who the young master is! How come he has encountered such strange things so often since he followed the young master?
Meeting an expert and encountering evil spirits again, this is too exciting.
…
Resisting the desire to look back, the donkey cart was really bumpy and swaying as it entered the county town at nightfall.
Zhang Laoshi delivered the two of them to the door of his house, and then drove off in the donkey cart under the moonlight and the lights of various shops that had not yet closed.
Lu Zheng and Uncle Li ate the dinner left by Aunt Liu for them, and then Lu Zheng asked Uncle Li and the others to rest while he went back to the bedroom alone.
Looking at his four-piece silk suit and velvet quilt, Lu Zheng shook his head, then put the peace charm under the pillow, and then instantly traveled back to modern times.
