When the Taoist was sizing up Li Xiuyuan, Li Xiuyuan was also sizing up the Taoist.
"I can't help but take the liberty to ask, if the Taoist priest cultivates his moral character, meditates and practices Qi, he should have long hair, so why is he bald?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the bald Taoist's shiny head and couldn't help but ask.
The bald Taoist was immediately displeased and said calmly, "You scholar, you don't understand Taoism, so don't talk nonsense. Have you ever seen weeds growing in the middle of a road?"
"I have never seen this before. There are too many people walking on the road, and the weeds are trampled to death, so naturally they will not grow again." Li Xiuyuan said.
"The same is naturally true for the poor Taoist. The heavenly spirit is the place where the soul comes and goes, just like the weeds in the middle of the road. After walking for a long time, hair will naturally stop growing." The bald Taoist said with some pride: "Can such a thing happen in this world?
There are not many people who practice Taoism. Although the poor Taoist has become bald, he has also become stronger."
"But I heard that the soul often leaves the body, which is not good for the soul and will damage the cultivation level." Li Xiuyuan said.
The bald Taoist glanced at him indifferently: "I didn't expect you, a scholar, to know a thing or two about Taoism, but I don't have the time to talk to you about Taoism here. If you come to worship God, God
You can go and worship outside. If you are here to worship a master and practice Taoism, please leave immediately. Poor Taoists will never accept disciples."
"No, no, no, I'm not here to become a disciple and practice Taoism. I just want to ask the Taoist priest. When I got up this morning, I saw two paper figures standing in the courtyard. One paper figure looked like a boy, and the other looked like a paper figure.
She looks like a girl, I wonder if the Taoist priest knows about this." Li Xiuyuan said suddenly.
The bald Taoist's face changed slightly, and then his eyes moved slightly and he said: "The paper man appears at home. This is an unlucky sign and will soon bring disaster to the family. Scholar, you'd better be careful."
"If you had bought Pindao's Taoist talisman and posted it at home yesterday, such a thing would not have happened. It's a pity, it's a pity that you didn't listen to Pindao's advice and thought that Pindao was a liar, so you missed the opportunity and caused this
It's a big disaster. I estimate that you have been targeted by two ghosts. The appearance of these two ghosts will definitely harm two people. Maybe you are a scholar and you are blessed with great blessings, but you may be fine, but your relatives and friends around you should be careful."
"If evil spirits can't deal with you, they will go back and take revenge on the people around you. People bully good and fear evil, and so do ghosts."
Li Xiuyuan's eyes flashed: "Master Taoist, are you implying that something will happen to the people around you?"
"The poor Taoist is just calculating based on Taoism. Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you." The bald Taoist said calmly.
Threat~!
Li Xiuyuan felt the threat in this bald Taoist's breath.
I just didn't say it in public. If you don't beg me, you will be in trouble.
Li Xiuyuan felt a little angry in his heart. He thought that this Taoist priest was just trying to scare people and make some money, but when he said these words, he saw that it was more than that.
This is threatening the lives of his loved ones.
It's pure blackmail.
With this thought, he lost the last bit of tolerance he had for this Taoist.
Just when Li Xiuyuan was about to get angry, an urgent voice suddenly sounded in the Taoist temple.
"Taoist Master, help me, Taoist Master, please help me." A scholar ran into the side room in shock: "Taoist Master, please help me. Last night when Xiaosheng was sleeping, he encountered two man-eating evil spirits and almost killed him.
Xiaosheng was eaten alive..."
"Don't panic, don't panic. There are gods in this Taoist temple, and you are not afraid of all evil spirits." The Taoist Bald said calmly.
"Wang Ping, why are you here? Why are you here?"
Li Xiuyuan took a look, only to find that this person was none other than Wang Ping, whom he had parted with yesterday.
Wang Ping said in shock: "Brother Li, are you also here to ask for help from the Taoist priest? Could it be that Brother Li, you were also haunted by a ghost last night?"
The Bald Taoist said calmly: "Two scholars, I didn't lie yesterday. The two of you were indeed entangled by the evil ghost. Fortunately, you are lucky and lucky. You were not eaten by the evil ghost last night, but the evil ghost did not eat you on the first day."
You will definitely not give up after eating it, and you will still look for opportunities in the future. When the time comes, money will be a small matter, but your life will be a big deal."
"The Taoist is right, the Taoist is right. I regret that I didn't listen to what the Taoist said." Wang Ping nodded repeatedly, and then begged: "The Taoist has the ability to exorcise ghosts and monsters. Wan Sheng begs the Taoist for his blessing."
Lower the talisman."
The bald Taoist stroked his beard and muttered: "It's not that Pindao doesn't want to give you the talisman, it's just that you missed the opportunity. If you bought Pindao's talisman yesterday and posted it at home, the evil ghost would naturally avoid it and wouldn't dare to harass you anymore. But
Now that the evil ghost has entered the house and is targeting you two, the ordinary magic talisman is useless. Even if it saves your two lives, it cannot avenge the lives of your family members. If the evil ghost cannot deal with you, it will turn against your relatives.
.”
This again?
Li Xiuyuan frowned. It was hard for Wang Ping to do anything here at the moment.
Wang Ping hurriedly said in surprise: "Then, what should we do?"
"It's simple. The poor Taoist will catch and destroy those two ghosts by casting a spell, which will naturally ensure your peace." The Bald Taoist said.
"Please take action, Taoist Master." Wang Ping thanked him.
The bald Taoist looked at Li Xiuyuan next to him: "It's not difficult to catch ghosts and eliminate demons. The difficult thing is how to invite all the gods. The cost is not small. If the scholar is willing to pay ten thousand taels of silver, the bald Taoist can cast a spell.
Invite the gods of all spirits to help you get rid of these two evil spirits and restore your peace."
Ten thousand taels?
For a moment, Wang Ping looked longingly at the rich man Li Xiuyuan.
Although he was not a poor scholar, he was short of money and how could he get so much money.
After all, he is still greedy for his own money. It seems that this bald Taoist has calculated that his family is rich, and he dares to talk about this ten thousand taels of silver.
"Taoist Master is a little greedy." Li Xiuyuan said calmly.
The bald Taoist said calmly: "This money is not for the poor Taoist, but for the gods in the sky. The gods in the lower world will naturally need a lot of expenses to catch ghosts and eliminate demons."
Li Xiuyuan took a serious look at the bald Taoist, and then said: "Since the Taoist Master has said so, I won't be stingy with the ten thousand taels."
"Oh?" Taoist Bald was a little surprised for a moment.
I didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan would agree so happily.
According to his idea, he would use magic to scare his family and torture them for a few days, so that the scholar would obediently send the money.
If you can get ten thousand taels of silver, then you won't have to worry about the incense of this Taoist temple for twenty years.
"But before I take out 10,000 taels of silver, can I ask the Taoist Master to do a small favor?" Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
"What's the matter? Just say it, Pindao will help you." When Taoist Bald saw that Li Xiuyuan was willing to pay, his attitude became much better.
Li Xiuyuan said: "The Taoist Master is also an expert in calculating and calculating. I wonder if I can calculate the year and month when I was born? If the calculation is accurate, then I will naturally offer these ten thousand taels of silver with both hands.
And I also added another ten thousand taels of silver as a token of gratitude."
"Is this true?"
The bald Taoist became a little excited for a while.
Twenty thousand taels of silver, this is forty years of incense. If you can earn this amount of money, you can expect to have a great future.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Of course we take it seriously."
"Okay, that's settled." The Taoist Bald nodded and said, "It's not difficult to calculate your birth date. All you need to do is look at your face..."
He tried to calculate Li Xiuyuan's birth date from his face.
It’s just something that every cultivator can do.
Traces of time will remain on the face, just like the annual rings of a tree. As long as you understand the method, it is not difficult to deduce.
"Huh?" Taoist Bald rubbed his eyes and was a little surprised. Looking at Li Xiuyuan's face, he deduced that Li Xiuyuan was actually forty-nine years old.
This is definitely impossible.
Now this scholar is only fifteen or sixteen years old at most. How could he be forty-nine years old?
"What's the matter? Isn't the Taoist priest a little embarrassed?" Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
