"This Taoist has such a strong self-esteem? He just had a little suspicion and then got angry and walked away? His character is much worse than that of his master."
When Li Xiuyuan saw this Taoist leave, he couldn't help but underestimate him.
Thinking of his master, he realized that he was also a Taoist priest. His master had a good temper and had nothing to say. Although he would also curse, he would never get angry.
Because the most taboo thing for Taoists is anger. With anger, the ghost is like boiling oil. It does not hurt the body but also hurts the soul. How can we cultivate diligently?
"It seems that this bald Taoist is not capable of spiritual cultivation."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled and then said: "Brother Wang, it seems that I can't buy this magic talisman. It's better to go back and rest in peace."
"That's true." Wang Ping said, then he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li, I'll take my leave."
Li Xiuyuan nodded, and the two of them parted ways and went back to their respective homes.
"Master, that talisman sounds very good. It can guarantee a lifetime of peace. Why don't you buy one, Master?"
Du Chunhua whispered at this time: "If I didn't have money, I would also like to buy it."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I had some intentions of buying it before. I could give it away if I didn't need it. But when the Taoist heard that I said it was a fake talisman, he left angrily. I was afraid that there was something wrong in my heart. I
It seems that there is probably something wrong with this magic talisman. Let’s not talk about whether it is effective or not. At least it is not worth a hundred taels of silver. If you are rich, now you have been deceived into a pauper."
As he spoke, he tapped Du Chunhua's forehead.
Du Chunhua's face turned red and she was very embarrassed. She just felt that she was an ignorant village woman and almost embarrassed the young master.
Soon, several people arrived in front of the Li Mansion in the city.
Although it is not as grand as the mansion in Guobei County, it is unique and luxurious, with three entrances and three exits, as well as a garden pavilion and a small balcony.
Li Xiuyuan used to stay here when he came to the city with his father.
"Knock on the door."
Li Xiuyuan saw that the door of the mansion was closed and opened his mouth.
The house has been uninhabited for a long time, and only one servant has been hired to take care of it. An old servant from the Li family is here to look after the door.
After knocking on the door, after a while, an old man holding a candle and wearing a coat walked to the door and shouted: "Who is it? Who is knocking on the door outside."
"Open the door quickly, the young master is back." The guard shouted.
After hearing this, the old man hurriedly opened the door: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know the young master was here. I thought it was some rogue idle guy knocking on the door at night. Yesterday, the master sent a letter saying,
The eldest young master may come here to stay in the next few days, and I have hired a few strong women to take care of the house. I thought the eldest young master would arrive tomorrow or the day after, but I didn't expect he would come tonight."
"What's wrong? I should be apologizing to you, Uncle Lu, for waking you up so late." Li Xiuyuan said with some embarrassment.
This Lu Bo is an old servant of his Li family. He has followed the Li family for the past three generations. Later, his father thought of his loyalty and went to live as a slave of Lu Bo. Now his children are taking care of business for the Li family in Guo Beicheng, and he is in Guo Beicheng.
Here I guard the house for the Li family.
"Young Master, you're welcome, you're welcome."
Lu Bo couldn't help but grinned when he saw the eldest young master being so polite to him.
"Uncle Lu, go and rest early. I'm going back to the house." After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he looked at the two guards and said, "You are tired too. Go back and have a rest. You have worked hard this time. Come back and receive the reward."
"Thank you, young master." The guard was also a little happy, feeling that this trip was not in vain.
After returning to the bedroom, I saw that the place had been cleaned.
The bedding and beds have all been replaced with new ones, and they are all fully equipped as soon as they are used.
"I'm going to fetch water to wash the young master's face and feet." After arriving in the bedroom, Du Chunhua said with a slight blush, and then went out with the copper basin.
She had just followed Li Xiuyuan, and today was her first day serving a man, so she was still a little uncomfortable.
But she was very happy in her heart, after all, her identity was settled from today on.
But just at this time.
The bald Taoist who was accused by Li Xiuyuan of selling fake talismans returned to his small Taoist temple angrily.
However, they found that what was enshrined in Taoist Taoist Bald's temple was not the Taoist ancestors of the Sanqing Dynasty, nor the gods of the four directions, but a statue that looked similar to him, but was wearing a scarlet robe and an official hat.
He, rather, was built in his likeness.
"These two scholars have no respect for ghosts and gods in their hearts, and they also mocked Pindao for selling fake talismans. Today, Pindao is going to show them what it means for a ghost to seek his life. Tomorrow, I'm afraid you will demand Pindao to buy amulets."
After cursing a few words, the bald Taoist entered a side room of the Taoist temple.
The room was simply decorated, with only a futon and an altar, but incense was constantly burning inside, and the smell of incense was everywhere.
The Taoist Bald took a piece of yellow paper, cut it into a little man with scissors, then used a brush to smear it and embellish it with ink. Soon a ghost with a green face and fangs appeared.
He made two paper figures in total, then cast the spell and waved it casually.
Immediately, the two paper figures rose up without any wind, floated out along the crack of the door, and soon disappeared into the city.
At this moment.
Inside an inn in the city.
It is said that after Wang Ping returned to the inn, he was very tired. After changing into wet clothes, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
But as he fell asleep, Wang Ping found that he gradually woke up.
And I felt that my body was getting heavier and heavier, as if I was being pressed down by a stone, unable to move at all.
Not only could he not move, his eyelids were extremely heavy and difficult to open. But the strange thing was that his consciousness was extremely clear and not confused at all.
"What's going on? Why can't I move?"
Wang Ping was shocked and struggled hurriedly, but his body was still out of control. Could it be that this was the legendary ghost on the bed?
And at this moment he heard two whispering voices next to his ears.
"Let's eat this scholar tonight. His thin skin and tender meat must be delicious."
"Yes, yes, we followed this scholar all the way. Fortunately, he didn't buy the Taoist talisman from that expert. Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to get close to him. The Taoist's Taoism is very powerful, and he is the best.
We have exorcised ghosts and demons. If the talisman was there, we would probably be wiped out by now." Another voice said.
"Hey, who calls this scholar stupid? He treats an expert as a liar. It's his misfortune today. Well, let's do it now. You eat his feet, and I'll eat his head, half of each person's."
When these two voices said this, Wang Ping was so frightened that he trembled all over, turned pale, and almost fainted.
What was even more frightening was that he also felt someone sticking out his long tongue to lick his feet, and another person sticking out his tongue to lick his cheek.
Wang Ping was sweating all over his body at this moment, feeling that he was about to be eaten by two evil ghosts.
But at this moment, somehow his body regained consciousness.
Wang Ping opened his eyes suddenly, and sure enough he saw two green-faced and fanged fierce ghosts sitting on top of him, sticking out their tongues more than a foot long, licking his face and feet.
"Ah~! What a ghost."
Wang Ping let out an earth-shattering scream, and jumped up from the bed. He didn't know where he got the strength to knock open the door of the inn, and rolled and crawled out.
