At this time, Yu Lu drank a few glasses of wine, and under the encouragement of his two bad friends, one with a white face and the other with a red face, he said: "It's like this, my uncle's family has a cousin Fang Xi, who is quite talented and famous, but he is a bit...
Jituo."
When Yu Lu said these two words, his face turned red. It was obvious that he was not used to speaking ill of people behind their backs. However, there were many bad friends on the table, so he continued.
"Every time I see a beautiful girl, I always like to wear her tail."
"As a result, a week ago, I met a car. The wind blew the curtains of the car, and I saw a young girl inside. She was very beautiful. I was dazzled and followed her for several miles."
"The young lady was so thin-skinned that she splashed the water in anger. She squinted her eyes and wiped the water. She realized that the car was far away, so she regretfully went back. She didn't take it seriously, but soon her face became swollen. That night she invited a few
The doctors have looked at it, but there is nothing they can do. It has not subsided. It is suspected to be the work of ghosts and gods. Now I can't even come to the county school for fear of losing face."
"Alas!" Yu Lu shook his head and sighed, not only worried about the other party, but also a little resentful that iron cannot be transformed into steel.
After Su Ziji and Zhang Sheng heard this, they looked at each other. The Wei Dynasty was open-minded and Dazheng was even more open. However, following a young girl for several miles was indeed excessive.
Zhang Sheng simply rolled his eyes: "You deserve it."
Yu Lu sighed again, and had to say that he really deserved what he did.
When Su Ziji heard about ghosts and gods, he didn't really believe it. He just consoled him: "Maybe it will be fine in a few days, or maybe I can go worship the gods."
Yu Lu nodded in agreement and said: "We have made an appointment before. After the county examination, we will go to Tongshan Temple outside the city to offer incense. This is a very efficacious Taoist temple. The master of the temple, Hui Dao Zhenren, has some magical power. If the two wise brothers
If you are free in the afternoon, why don't we go together?"
Su Ziji didn't want to go, but when he heard the words "Tongshan Temple", he suddenly remembered that he had learned this name from the two gangsters he killed. He originally planned to find out when he had time, but now he can go and see it.
look.
"Okay, let's go together!" Su Ziji suppressed the anger in his eyes and agreed with a smile.
Zhang Sheng loves fun, so he naturally agreed.
Yu Lü chose to entertain guests here, and also wanted to wait for the bullock cart to pick him up and leave the city directly. The three of them spent some time, and the servants of the Yu family arrived driving the bullock cart.
The three of them got on the car. Tongshan Temple was not far away. The carriages and horses rumbled away. When they arrived in front of the temple, several people were already waiting for them.
Tongshan Temple
The scenery is good. Although the mountain is not high, the gentle slope is only about fifty meters, but it is covered with bamboo forests. Even now, it is green and green. When the wind blows, the bamboo leaves sway, and there are several people standing on the steps.
One of the young men had eyes as bright as paint and looked plump and unrestrained. He seemed to be the center of the crowd. The one with a swollen face was probably Yu Lu's cousin Fang Xi. Yu Lu got out of the car and went over to introduce him: "This is Brother Su, Su Zi
Ji, a new student, this is my cousin Fang Xi."
Fang Xi narrowed her eyes at this time, her handsome face was distorted by the squeeze, and she forced a smile, which was quite funny.
"This is Brother Zheng, Zheng Yingci. He has passed the government examination and is ranked third." Yu Lu introduced Su Ziji enthusiastically with a smile on his face.
Su Ziji's eyes lit up, and he heard Yu Lu mention that his aunt's natal family, the Zheng family, had a Jinshi, which was one of the few official and gentry families in Linhua County.
The scholar, of course, is the best among his peers. He said: "I have met Brother Zheng."
"Brother Su, you're welcome." Zheng Yingci said calmly.
Su Ziji could clearly feel that Zheng Yingci and Fang Xi were slightly closer to Zhang Sheng than him, and he was not annoyed.
Although Zhang Sheng was not a child, he came from a good family and was a close friend of the Fang and Zheng families. As a newcomer, it was normal for him to feel unfamiliar.
A few people chatted for a while, then went up the steps to the Taoist temple. The Taoist temple is along the mountain and has a quiet and elegant environment.
After walking around the front, we arrived at the place we had agreed with Hui Dao. A little Taoist boy happened to come over and quickly bowed his head. After learning the purpose of his visit, he said in a childish voice: "Young masters, please wait a moment."
After saying that, go and invite people.
After a moment, I heard footsteps in the corridor, and a green figure appeared.
"Master Huidao, look at my face..." As soon as she saw the person coming, Fang Xi hurriedly approached him. His face seemed to be a little red and swollen again, and it was shiny.
Hui Dao opposite looked about fifty, with a slender figure, a little thin, and well-kept. His brows were leisurely, and he looked very elegant. He walked like a crane.
Looking at his clothes, he is wearing a green Taoist robe and hemp shoes. There are no decorations on the whole body, and it does not look shabby. It just makes people think that he is a gentleman.
Fang Xi bowed and begged again and again. Huidao seemed to be familiar with him and did not beat around the bush. He just looked at it and became angry: "You are a frivolous disciple. You have accumulated so many bad karma that you are punished like this. In half a month, you will be punished."
It will go away naturally and there is no need for me to treat you. Just go back."
Fang Xi had a sad face and was unwilling to leave like this. She begged: "It's okay if you don't want to go to the county school. The government examination is coming soon and there are many relatives. It's really hard to see anyone with this swollen face. Please help me!"
Several other people, except Su Ziji, also opened their mouths to help and plead.
Huidao glanced at it and just muttered: "This is a serious matter, let me think about it."
Zhang Sheng looked at Yu Lu, who was silent and had no objection, so Zhang Sheng calmly leaned over and touched the Taoist's sleeve with his sleeve.
Huidao's expression improved and he continued to mutter: "Master Zhang is sincere. If so, let me treat you."
With that said, he took out a piece of talisman paper directly from his arms, shook it in his hand, and it spontaneously ignited without fire. He took the water bowl handed over by the little Taoist boy, sprinkled the talisman paper ash into the water, shook it evenly and handed it to Fang Fang.
Cherish.
This is a very famous talisman water in Tongshan Temple.
It is said that it can cure all diseases, especially those injured by sneakers. However, not everyone can seek it, and it requires sincerity.
Fang Xi looked at the bowl of dusty talisman water and hesitated, but thinking of her current situation, she finally gritted her teeth and drank it all.
Su Ziji frowned slightly. He already had a bad impression of Tongshan Temple. Seeing this scene, he felt that they were a group of liars.
It ignites spontaneously without fire. Is it because phosphorus has been sprinkled?
After thinking about it, Huidao turned around. The fifty-year-old man had wrinkles, but his eyes were clear and dark, like a young man. He looked at Su Ziji and asked, "Young Master, you don't believe me?"
Su Ziji suspected that Hui Dao was one of the main messengers who plotted against him. Seeing this, he became more vigilant and smiled: "I was reading the book of sages last night, and I didn't say anything about my strange power and chaos."
Huidao smiled: "It's good to read the books of sages, but have you ever heard of another saying, respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them?"
The implicit meaning is that if there are no ghosts and gods, why should we stay away from them?
Su Ziji was about to say more, when he suddenly heard Fang Xi yelling "Ah", the water bowl fell to the ground with a thud, and he covered his face in pain and screamed.
When others saw this, they were all horrified.
Huidao was also a little confused at this time, thinking that the evil spirit was very stubborn, so he just reassured everyone: "Don't panic, this is driving away the evil spirit!"
Yu Lu asked his servant to help hold down Fang Xi's scratching hand and advised: "Cousin, please be patient!"
But when his eyes fell on Fang Xi's face, he was stunned: "This... what is this?"
"My face, what's wrong with my face?" Although Fang Xi was pulled down by Yu Lu, who was covering her face with her hand, she screamed with fear on her face.
Yu Lu, a calm person, was a little frightened at first sight, not to mention that everyone else who saw Fang Xi's face subconsciously took half a step back.
Even Su Ziji hesitated and did not step forward.
Without him, Fang Xi's appearance at this moment was really terrifying.
