Zhao Ran told about his trip to Wutang to hold a fasting ceremony at the eunuch's house in Luoxiang. When talking about his young grandson who died in infancy, Zhuo Tengyi asked: "Are you sure he died suddenly after talking in his sleep?"
Zhao Ran muttered: "It should be true, that old gentleman has no reason to make up lies to deceive me."
Zhuo Tengyi shook his head: "That's not necessarily true...have you seen the body?"
Zhao Ran said: "I read it when I stopped the soul. Before the fasting ceremony, I have to summon the souls for the above talisman." At this point, he smiled sheepishly, and Zhuo Tengyi also smiled. Shifang Jungle held a fasting ceremony, and there was no magic power.
"Shang Fu" and "Calling Souls" are all jokes and pretentiousness.
Zhao Ran continued: "After taking a general look, there are no injuries on the face, head and neck, and the limbs are intact. As for whether there are injuries under the clothes, I don't know. Donor Luo said that the county government has conducted an examination on the widows, and no reason can be found.
"
Zhuo Tengyi said: "It doesn't matter, you go on."
Zhao Ran said: "Because the child died in an unknown way, Donor Luo was afraid that there was an evil spirit in the house, so he asked me to exorcise evil spirits from him and led me to the back garden. I saw a strange flower in the back garden, and I thought it was
The problem lies in the fact that the child fell unconscious next to the flowers..."
Zhuo Tengyi asked: "Tell me about the appearance of that flower?"
Zhao Ran said: "The flower is about seven or eight feet tall and less than two feet tall. It is red and purple all over and looks like a coral..."
When talking about this, Zhuo Tengyun, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were like lightning, and in an instant, Zhao Ran's scalp froze.
Zhuo Tengyi, who was always smiling, stopped smiling, looked solemn, and asked: "How many leaves does this flower have? How many petals does it have? Does it bear fruit?"
Zhao Ran said: "Nine leaves and six petals, and three fruits."
Zhuo Tengyi took a breath of air and looked at his brother with eyes full of surprise. Zhuo Tengyun couldn't sit still anymore, got up and walked around. Zhuo Tengyi connected with him and said: "Where is Naluo Donor's house in Wutang?"
?Forget it, just lead the way! Don’t worry, we can save your life!”
After hearing Zhuo Tengyi's assurance, Zhao Ran couldn't help but shuddered: "Uh... is it dangerous?"
Zhuo Tengyi said warmly: "I won't hide it from you, the two of us are tracking a monster - you don't have to worry. Although this monster has some magic power, it is not very powerful and is definitely no match for us."
For the Shifang Jungle like Wujiyuan, what the Taoist priests fear most is to follow the Taoist gates in the hidden place to catch monsters. If they are not careful, they will lose their lives. Even if they are extremely careful, they will still be there when the fun is over.
After playing, there is no luck at all. Ordinary Taoist priests in Shifang Jungle regard catching monsters as a daunting task, and they will definitely hide if they can. Thank you for your insensitivity. Zhao Ran heard Yu Zhiyuan say that seven years ago, the Huayun Pavilion’s
The Daomen walked out to catch monsters, and Yu Zhiyuan's two junior brothers were forced to lead the way and do odd jobs. They were hiding in a "safe place" dozens of feet away, and the monster's magic power was also inferior to that of the Daomen.
When he was about to die, the monster exploded the demon pill. Daomen Xing was fine, but he did not have time to save Yu Zhiyuan's two junior brothers, and they died.
However, Zhao Ran was afraid of returning. As a traveler from that scientific and prosperous world, he was extremely curious about catching monsters, so he hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and agreed. Before leaving, the Taoist priests of Wuji Academy looked at Zhao
Ran's eyes were full of pity. Fang Zhihe stepped forward and patted Zhao Ran on the shoulder, whispering: "Junior Brother Zhao, just go ahead and go. I have inquired about Uncle Zhao and your uncle Zhao in Zhaojiazhuang, Shiquan County.
Aunt Zhao, I will definitely help you and take good care of you... By the way, I heard that you have saved a lot of money at Weiyuan Escort Bureau. If it is just in case, Junior Brother Zhao, you... I mean just in case, uh, can you borrow some with Senior Brother?
I? Senior brother, I’m a little short of money recently.”
Zhao Ran was covered in cold sweat. Where did Senior Brother Ni Ma Fang find out this gossip? Don't tell me, it is really accurate! He immediately cursed: "It's going to kill your lungs!"
Not to mention that Senior Brother Fang frowned and wondered what "top lungs" meant and whether to agree or not, and Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi both came on horseback, he asked Zhao Ran if he could ride a horse. Zhao Ran said wait a moment.
He hurriedly jogged to pick up the donkey at Qingtan in the back mountain - since the donkey was redeemed by Zhao Ran, it had been kept beside the hut left by Zhang Laodao at Qingtan, living a leisurely life of his own. Now.
Suddenly being led out to work by Zhao Ran, he was very unhappy and yelled a few times. After being comforted by Zhao Ran's kind words, he followed down the mountain dejectedly.
Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi were already waiting impatiently at the foot of the mountain. When they suddenly saw Zhao Ran riding a donkey, they couldn't help but feel happy. They didn't blame them anymore and just hurried on. The three of them quickly ran westward along the official road.
After a while, Zhao Ran led the way and turned south, turning onto the trail to Wutang.
Along the way, Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi were both amazed at the old donkey's endurance and speed. Zhao Ran patted the old donkey's neck proudly while secretly despising these two Taoists - Aren't you Taoists?
Chu Yangcheng is far behind in comparison. He can stride eight feet long, lift his legs to leap into deep streams, fly between treetops and rock walls, and fly freely. That is true cultivation. You two
Don't you have to ride a horse to practice? You can't even get rid of me riding a donkey. What kind of path is this?
When they arrived at Wutang, the three of them slowed down. Zhuo Tengyi observed the surrounding scenery and praised: "What a beautiful place!" The elder brother Zhuo Tengyi remained silent, but nodded.
After receiving the notice, Luo Xiang's eunuchs and housekeepers hurried out to welcome him. When they saw Zhao Ran, they shouted: "Taoist Master Zhao, you have been waiting for us!"
Zhao Ran asked: "Is there any change?"
Luo Xiang's eunuch said with a mournful face: "The flower has changed. It has become more and more red and purple, as if it were thick blood. It is very scary!"
Zhao Ran comforted him and said, "Donor Luo, don't panic. These two are Taoist priests Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi. They are both powerful Taoist practitioners. Their abilities are far better than mine. They are here today for this matter."
"
After hearing this, the Luo Xiang eunuch quickly saluted Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi and led the three of them straight to the back garden.
I haven't seen it for many days. Just as Luo Xiang said, the strange flower is so red that it has turned purple and seems to be shining through, dyeing the snow-covered garden red, making it even more eye-catching between the rockery and the pool.
Compared with the anxiety and uneasiness of Luo Xianghuan, the housekeeper and others, the two brothers of the Zhuo family are completely opposite. The younger brother Zhuo Tengyi is extremely excited, while the older brother Zhuo Tengyun is much calmer, with a look on his face.
But he couldn't hide his joy.
Zhuo Tengyi took out a palm-sized compass from his body, turned it around, and signaled to his brother Zhuo Tengyun: "Not here." Then he asked Luo Xianghuan and others to avoid it, and his request turned out to be that the whole family moved out of the house temporarily.
Avoid! The Luo Xiang eunuch's face turned pale as he hurriedly went out to arrange the arrangements. Zhao Ran was also frightened by Zhuo Tengyi's words and was hesitant. He didn't know whether he should follow the Luo Xiang eunuch out to avoid it, or stay here and watch.
In the end, Zhuo Tengyi did not give Zhao Ran a chance to choose. After Luo Xianghuan left, he called Zhao Ran to his side and asked: "Did you set up this Five Elements Thick Earth to Gold Formation?"
Zhao Ran didn't know how to answer. His understanding of the formation was as varied as a hammer and a stick. It was just superficial. Even the term "Five Elements Thick Earth Transformed into Golden Formation" was the first time he had heard of it.
He opened his mouth and said, "Ah? Oh..." I felt a little happy in my heart. It turned out that the thing I made blindly with my eyes closed actually had a provenance. What a talent.
Zhuo Tengyi didn't wait for Zhao Ran to answer. He walked over and carefully opened the five wine jars half buried in the soil for inspection. He came back and said to his brother Zhuo Tengyun: "Something is wrong."
Zhuo Tengyun nodded, closed his eyes slightly, and reopened them after a moment. Zhao Ran finally heard the first words he said since they met: "This formation is better, give him something."
Zhuo Tengyi was slightly surprised, looked at Zhao Ran and said, "Who did nephew Zhao learn the formation from?" Without waiting for Zhao Ran to answer, he took out a bunch of objects from the backpack of the horse that had been following him into the garden, and selected a few items.
Throw it at Zhao Ran's feet.
Zhao Ran knelt down to look at those things and replied: "Uncle Zhuo made me laugh, it was my nephew who read it myself..."
Zhuo Tengyi looked at Zhao Ran carefully for a few times curiously, nodded, and did not dwell on this issue anymore. He only said: "I will catch the monster later, and you will be in charge of the formation. Your five-element formation is well laid out, but the materials are not right.
Just replace the object."
Thanks to brother yangzhigang, the first deacon of this book!
