Old Man Lu's face turned dark: "Is it too much for the Taoist priest to do this? You must know that my ancestors also served as officials..."
Zhao Ran laughed and said: "The old man is serious, this is a Taoist sect walking on business, catching monsters, do you understand? This is for the sake of peace in the land and for the people everywhere. I hope that the old man will put the overall situation first and put the great cause of the Taoist sect first.
Please cooperate, haha.”
Old Man Lu pressed his neck again for a while, and Zhao Ran got annoyed and scolded: "Taoists come to the door to catch monsters, how can you be so ignorant! I tell you, if you push and hold you again, I will lock you up."
After that, who knows if your Lu family is colluding with monsters to create some kind of religion and plan to cause harm to the world?"
Old Man Lu was slapped with a big hat by Zhao Ran, and he did not dare to bear it anymore. He just said bitterly: "Taoist Master Zhao, how do I know if you randomly find someone to pretend to be a Taoist walking..."
Zhao Ran was well prepared and raised the Taoist walking token given to him by Luo Zhiqing in front of Old Man Lu: "Does the old man know what this is? It is a token jointly issued by the Taoist general view and the imperial court. All the soldiers and civilians must do their best to assist.
Obey the order, do you understand? If the old man still has doubts, he can go to Wujiyuan to report the situation and find out if it is true. Besides, the poor Taoist is congratulating Junshan Temple and has the responsibility to protect the people, so how can he cheat?
you?"
Old Man Lu had no choice now. He endured his anger and ordered all the family servants to come out of the house and stood in the empty space outside the house for dozens of times. Zhao Ran pretended to check it, then followed Old Man Lu in and walked around from room to room.
In a circle, whenever you see something that you like or dislike, shake your hands and stick a talisman there.
The doors, bedsides, beams, and walls of the hall are all missing. Many cabinets and boxes are simply sealed with talismans, making them unusable. Even the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls,
The porcelain vases on the shelves were all covered with talismans. There were hundreds of them printed out. The whole house was covered with yellow paper inside and out. It was really shocking.
When Zhao Ran sent out the talismans, he deliberately brought some mana out with him. He saw the talismans fluttering and sticking to their respective positions after leaving his hands. Old man Lu's eyelids jumped when he saw them. He thought that the rumors were true. This Zhao
Miao Zhu is really an immortal master!
Not to mention that the fear in his heart increased greatly, Old Man Lu looked at the densely packed talismans in the house and thought that it would be okay to seal it for one or two days, but it would be impossible to seal it for three or five days.
Just when I thought of this, I heard Zhao Ran say: "What Pindao has set up is a large formation to calm the mind, control the house, and exorcise evil spirits. The old man told good family members not to touch these talismans. If they fall accidentally, your house will collapse."
.After seventy-seven forty-nine days, Pindao will come to inspect it, and he will definitely capture the monster into the formation, so that the old man and his family will be safe!"
Old Man Lu staggered at his feet and barely managed to fall. He thought to himself that there is a monster in my house. Isn't this all your fault? Suddenly he felt something bad and asked tentatively: "What if there is no monster?"
Zhao Ran said categorically: "There must be one. If you can't catch it, keep catching it. If it doesn't work in seven or forty-nine days, then nine or nine or eighty-one days!"
When I came out of the house, I saw that many tenants of the Lu family had gathered outside, and the farmers nearby were pointing and talking in low voices.
Old Man Lu held back his anger, took Zhao Ran aside, and said in a low voice: "Taoist Master Zhao, can you please help Taoist Master Luo and tell this Immortal Luo that everything is a misunderstanding, and I, the Lu family, will be very grateful." After that,
He held out his finger and said, "One hundred taels! How about one hundred taels? The two acres of land you want from my family, Daoist Zhao, add up to less than forty taels. Why bother, Taoist Priest?"
Zhao Ran's face suddenly changed, and he said with a righteous look: "Old man, who do you think Pindao is? Catch monsters! Catch monsters! Catch monsters! - Repeat important things three times. This is catching monsters! You are trying to catch monsters!"
What kind of money are you talking about? What kind of land are you talking nonsense about? Is this the kind of person that a poor man is? Can a poor man be greedy for your money? It’s really strange!”
Then he said: "Okay, Pindao is a reasonable person, please send your female family members back, so that you don't have to be so weird in your words, saying that Pindao is disturbing your female family members... Clear the empty space in front of the house, Pindao is now
We must assist Immortal Luo in setting up the magic altar for catching monsters."
As he said this, the utensils and utensils scattered on the floor were shaken out of his fingers, such as altar tables, shrines, silk cords, incense candles, bronze mirrors...it was really everything.
This is not an annoyance? What is an annoyance? Old man Lu finally stopped jumping to curse. Suddenly, he saw Zhao Ran pull out a long banner from his sleeve, throw it casually, and fly directly to the eaves of the house gate.
Stay still and slowly unfold...
As soon as this sleight of hand was revealed, the crowd surrounding him suddenly burst into an uproar. Many people knelt down on the ground, calling him "immortal master" and kept worshiping him.
Look again at the banner with a line of big characters with flying dragons and phoenixes: "Taomen walk to catch monsters, while other people wait to avoid them!"
Old Man Lu suddenly felt something bad. He glanced around and saw countless people pointing at him. Some said, "It turns out there is a monster in the Lu family." Some said, "Is the feng shui here bad?"
"Someone in the Lu family became a monster", and some even said, "If you really want to catch a monster, just capture Old Man Lu. He charges us so much rent every year, which will cause far more harm than the monster"... there are all kinds of things, and they are different.
foot.
Old Man Lu was so angry that his eyes turned black. He finally got over it. Knowing that he could not delay any longer, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Ran. He pulled him aside and said anxiously: "Daozhang Zhao, Master Zhao Xian, stop it quickly! Those two acres of land
Isn’t it okay if I sell it to you? No, I’ll give it to you!”
Zhao Ran said sternly: "Why did the old man say this? Is Pindao that kind of person? Can Pindao seize your family's farmland? Don't mention such idle talk again. How can Pindao behave if word spreads about it? It's simply slandering me.
Clear your name!"
The housekeeper next to Old Man Lu was quite astute and quickly helped: "Well done, Mr. Zhao. My husband has been short of daily necessities recently and the family is in urgent need of money to survive. I hope that Mr. Zhao will buy some fields from my family so that the family can make ends meet."
Zhao Ran pondered: "This...is your house really in trouble now?"
"It's difficult. There are dozens of people in the family, and eating and chewing is a big expense every day. The expenses in the house are really almost unsustainable. If we ask Director Zhao to help me, the whole family will feel great virtue!"
"I see, that's it. Since I've made a temple ceremony, I can't just watch your family decline. I have to support you. How did you sell your land?"
"Taoist Priest has mercy! My farmland is one acre per acre..."
Zhao Ran was angry: "Don't lie to poor Taoists. Speak carefully!"
The housekeeper was indeed very smart and quickly changed his words: "Sixteen taels per acre."
Zhao Ran stroked his non-existent long beard and said kindly: "Since it is to help your family's difficulties, let's calculate it at 20 taels per mu. Give more and your family will live better. Hurry up and get the land."
Contract, um, let’s write a contract according to what we just said, so that the villain won’t talk about it.”
