It's almost night at this time, the sky is getting dark, and every house has turned on the lights, and our place is no exception.
The entire courtyard was illuminated like daylight by Wang Qiang and others with strong lights, and outside the courtyard, there were countless men of the Chen family standing guard and patrolling, just to prevent accidents of this kind.
"Little lantern!"
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Little Lantern sitting on the bed, getting dressed.
"dad!"
Seeing me coming in, Little Lantern quickly put on her shoes and jumped out of bed.
"How does it feel?"
I opened my hands and picked up the little lantern from the ground.
It seemed that Little Lantern's complexion was indeed much better, and even the skin on his body that had turned black due to the presence of the Seven Evils was faintly rosy.
"Dad, my body doesn't hurt at all now." The little lantern said obediently while lying on my bed.
"That's good, let Hongyu take you shopping later!"
"Okay! I just like shopping with my mother!"
Hearing what I said, Little Lantern suddenly looked excited. He didn't notice the helpless expression on my face at all.
"Let's take a look at Aunt Chen first!"
I smiled and touched Xiao Lantern's soft black hair, then turned to look at Chen Ziqing lying on the bed.
"Miss Chen, haven't you woken up yet?"
"Not yet, but it looks much better than before." Taoist Priest Bai Lian said at the side.
"Well, that's good."
I nodded, walked to the bed and looked at Chen Ziqing, who was sleeping soundly.
That beautiful face that was originally youthful and beautiful, in just two days, turned out to look like that of a woman in her forties.
The power of Qisha Ming is really beyond my expectation.
"Taoist Priest Bailian, go find some mugwort, burn it to ashes, then mix it with cinnabar and black dog blood, and wash the faces of Xiao Lantern and Chen Ziqing."
After thinking for a moment, I said to Taoist Master Bai Lian.
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Taoist Master Bai Lian nodded and quickly walked out of the door to find the things I mentioned.
Suddenly, my expression changed, I held the small lantern in one hand, reached out to Chen Ziqing's arms with the other hand, fumbled for a moment, and took out a yellow talisman paper.
After spreading the talisman paper, I couldn't help but frown.
This talisman paper is a requiem talisman that I personally drew. After this period of practice, the power of the talisman paper I painted is far beyond the comparison with the flower stands I made before.
It can even be said that the power of a Requiem Talisman that I casually draw now is far more powerful than the ten ghost-expelling Talismans that I carefully drew before.
But now, in less than two days, this requiem I carefully prepared has lost its effect.
The runes originally painted with cinnabar on the yellow rune paper had turned into a small pile of white ash.
Immediately afterwards, I took out the one from the little lantern. As expected, it was basically on the verge of failure. The cinnabar runes on it had basically turned into white gray, leaving only the ones soaked in the runes.
A thin layer.
Without hesitation, I took out two more talismans, stuffed one into the pocket of the small lantern, and put the other into Chen Ziqing's arms.
After doing all this, I walked out holding the small lantern.
"Heavenly move!"
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Li Daihe walking out of the alms monk's room.
"What? What happened?" I asked.
"Master Alchemy asked you to bring a small lantern there." After Li Daihe said that, he hurried out of the yard.
"Oh, good!"
I glanced at Li Daihe's back with some suspicion, and in the blink of an eye, he ran out. I don't know what he was going to do, but I think it must have been ordered by the alms monk.
Shaking my head, I carried the small lantern and walked towards the room where the alms monk was.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the alms monk sitting in front of the table, holding a Yinluo statue in his hand and chanting something.
"Heaven raises the benefactor!"
Seeing me coming in, the alms monk smiled, and then turned his eyes to the small lantern in my arms.
"This must be Mr. Ling."
"Yes, his name is Little Lantern." I looked at the alms monk and didn't understand why he came to me.
"The poor monk just heard from the benefactor Li Daihe that Master Ling has woken up. Just take a look at him." The monk said with a smile, "The poor monk also wants to see how powerful the prodigy who can control the Seven Heavenly Treasures is."
"Master is joking. Little Lantern does have some abilities, but he still can't be called a prodigy."
I shook my head and said with a smile, but even though I said that, I was still quite proud of myself.
No matter who it is, in the eyes of normal people, their children are the best. Although Little Lantern is not my biological son, he is also my godson anyway.
It is impossible to say that I feel dissatisfied when I hear other people praising the little lantern.
Regarding my self-effacement, the alms monk just smiled and said nothing more.
"When did this little lantern situation start? How long did it last?" Immediately, the alms monk returned to the topic.
"In less than a day, this situation has been happening since the morning when the grave was moved." I sighed and said with some worry.
"Is it like this in just one day?" The alms monk frowned slightly.
"Dad, who is this bald man? Why are you hanging out with such a shady person!"
Suddenly, the childish voice of the little lantern sounded, and the alms monk and I were both stunned.
"Ahem, Tongyanwuji, please don't take it to heart, master." I explained with black lines on my face.
The alms monk smiled and waved his hand, as if he didn't care.
"It's what my mother said. A few days ago, the bald man from the east of the village came to hug me. My mother said that those who have bald heads are unscrupulous people and told me not to associate with them." The little lantern pointed at the alms monk, looking confident and confident.
said with a look.
"Your mother?"
Suddenly, I had the urge to strangle Wang Hongyu to death. What have I been teaching Little Lantern all day long?
I don't think a lady like Mrs. Chen would say such a thing, so the mother the little lantern talks about must be Wang Hongyu.
"Little lantern, let me tell you, master, this is not called bald head, this is called, this is called..." I was about to explain, but found that I didn't seem to know how to explain it.
"Little donor, the poor monk is not bald, the poor monk has hair!"
At this time, the alms monk reached out and touched his head and said with a smile.
It is true that the alms-giving monk is not bald, he still has a little hair, but if you don't observe carefully, you can't tell it at all.
"Huh? It seems to be true!" The little lantern stared at the monk's head for a long time, then turned to me and said, "Dad, he is not a bad person!"
"Haha, the little benefactor is really discerning!" The alms-gathering monk said in a low voice with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"By the way, Master, I saw Li Daihe running out in a hurry just now. Did you tell him to do something?" I glanced outside the door and said doubtfully.
"That's right, the poor monk asked him to get something." The alms monk said with a smile.
"Tianju! Master of alms!"
As the saying goes, Cao Cao was about to arrive. Just as he was talking about Li Daihe, he hurried over from outside.
"Did you get the stuff?"
The alms monk said with a smile.
"Here!"
Li Daihe spread his hands, and I saw that he was holding a few wickers in his hands.
"Well, very good, they are all naturally hanging willow branches!" The alms monk smiled with satisfaction and picked up a water glass from the table.
I noticed that this glass of water was clearly the same glass that the alms monk poured before. It seemed that he had not drank it yet.
"Huh?" Suddenly, my eyes flashed, this glass of water is wrong!
I still have an impression of this glass of water. It is clearly the same glass that the alms monk poured before me, but I always feel that this glass of water is different from the previous one.
"Haha, did Tianju Donor also notice it?" Seeing the sparkle in my eyes, the alms monk laughed, "Yes, this glass of water was blessed by the poor monk with the Great Compassion Mantra before, and it has a special purpose."
"Special purpose?" I raised my eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
"This water, after the poor monk blessed it with the Great Compassion Mantra, can be called holy water!" the alms monk said, taking the wicker from Li Daihe's hand with his other hand, and inserting the wicker upside down into the water cup.
among.
I looked at the series of actions of the alms monk, and I didn't understand what he meant or what he wanted to do.
"Tianju almsgiver, poor monk, now use this holy water to purify the little lantern." The alms monk stood up and said to me.
"oh?"
As soon as my heart moved, I stood up holding the small lantern.
"No need to be nervous, it's not a big magic." Seeing my cautious look, the alms monk waved his hand and said casually.
"Oh! Then please invite me, master!" I relaxed after hearing the alms monk say this.
The alms monk nodded slightly, holding the water glass with one hand, and making a handprint on the water glass with the other hand, while muttering something in his mouth.
"If you see running water, you should wish all living beings to have good intentions and wash away the defilements of confusion. Namo is the Joyful and Majestic King Buddha. Namo is the Tathagata with the Precious Hair Bun. Namo is the Infinite Victory King Buddha!"
After finishing the recitation, the alms monk reached out and pulled out the wicker dipped in "holy water" and waved it towards the small lantern.
The action of the alms monk was very gentle, but with a slight wave of the wicker in his hand, the water drops on the wicker sprinkled down, and it fell on me, the little lantern, and Li Daihe at the same time. There was not even a drop of water.
fell to the ground.
What's even more amazing is that the moment the "holy water" on the wicker was sprinkled, I actually felt light on my body, as if something heavy on my body was instantly dissolved by the water drops.
Even my spirit felt much refreshed.
And the changes in the little lantern are even greater!
I saw that when the water droplets on the wicker fell on the little lantern, the black color on the little lantern's skin faded quickly like ice and snow melting. In just a moment, the black skin of the little lantern returned to its previous appearance.
A fair complexion.
Needless to say, Li Daihe looked at me in surprise at this time, hoping that I could give him an explanation.
"Dad! It's so strange, why is it so comfortable? It seems like I feel so much more relaxed all of a sudden!"
The startling sound of the little lantern came to my ears, and a flash of shock flashed in my eyes. I heard a silent roar in my ears, and the world in my eyes was quickly filled with roiling blood.
However, in the state of seeing through hell, the water and willow branches I saw did not change at all.
"Are you confused?"
As if he saw the doubt in my mind, the alms monk smiled slightly and did not stop the movements of his hands at all.
I nodded, really not understanding how he did it.
"When you reach the level of Donor Wang, you will understand." The alms monk put down the wicker and said calmly.
