After communicating with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for several months, the birdman and the swing gained a lot of insights. The parrot's soul also recovered a lot. If he slept for a while, he could complete the recovery. When it was time to leave, the father and daughter bowed to the Bodhisattva.
After saluting, he took the little green hat and parrot and fled to the mortal world. According to Wu
Crow and Little Fox meant to go directly back to their daughter's country, but halfway through the journey, a message from the underworld suddenly came. The two took out their communication magic weapon and saw that there was a problem nearby that needed to be dealt with, so the group changed their message slightly.
direction, and came to a place called Zhibo Town.
But he said that the trouble that happened in Zhibo Town was actually not that big, and asking Crow and a few people to deal with it was really overqualified. It was just a female ghost with a little knowledge who wanted to kill people. Birdman and his party fell into the mortal world, cast some spells, and changed into Taoist robes.
Entering the town with the banner "Subjugate Demons and Catching Monsters", the three of them had not gone very far when someone stopped them.
"Three Taoists, stay!" A man ran over panting and said loudly, "Can the three of you subjugate monsters and catch monsters? Can you catch ghosts?"
"Ah ha~ Look, the scope of business is narrow, so you can see the flaw." Zhuqian took out a pen from his arms and added a few words on the banner - "You can also catch ghosts."
After adding the words, the little fox said: "You can also catch ghosts."
The man originally believed that the three "big, medium and small" Taoist priests were capable, but he was a little hesitant because of the swing, "Can these three Taoist priests really catch ghosts? You are monks, you can't lie to others. This
But it involves little ones’ lives, so you can’t fool them.”
"Oh, my God! What's wrong with lying? We are hooligans, can't we lie?" the little green hat said confidently, "But this time we didn't lie. We can really catch ghosts."
The words of the little Taoist priest made the man think that the three Taoist priests were liars. However, the situation was urgent now and his life was in danger. All the Taoist priests and monks nearby were searched, but to no avail. Only these three were ready-made, so he could only
A doctor who can kill a horse and make it alive, try
I tried. The man handed over his hand and introduced his situation, "Three Taoists, the youngest is called Pang Ren, who is from this town. Recently, I accidentally provoked a female ghost, and my life is in danger. Please invite the three Taoists.
Come and help me to get rid of the evil spirits."
"How did you get into trouble with the female ghost?" Shuqian asked, "It couldn't be that you pursued a beautiful woman, failed to succeed, and became angry and killed someone. The deceased wanted to take revenge on you, right?"
"No, no, no," Pang Ren said, "I admit that I am a little lustful, but I definitely don't have the guts to kill anyone. As for provoking a female ghost... Well, I feel ashamed, but it is indeed because of my lustful nature. There are many people in this town.
It was a large courtyard built by a high-ranking official. Later, the official left and a woman from nowhere moved in. Perhaps she didn’t like the dilapidation of the house, so the woman hired someone to repair it.
Sweep the courtyard and paint new paint on the furniture and roof beams. I have a younger brother named Pang Yi who is very good at painting. He is responsible for painting the house from the inside to the outside. Everything was fine at first, but it was not painted yet.
At the end, my brother suddenly became seriously ill and could not continue. I thought that as the eldest brother, I should help him with the work that his brother failed to complete, so I went to the house for him. But I didn't expect..."
"Wait a minute..." Birdman interrupted Pang Ren's narration and said, "To be honest, are you really doing it because you want to help your brother, or because you covet the woman in the yard? If my guess is correct, that woman
It must be very beautiful, right?”
"Uh... yes." Pang Ren said, "Master Dao can see clearly that I really admire the woman who lives alone. That woman is also really beautiful, not to say that she will be the king of the country, but she is definitely beautiful in this poor and remote place like ours.
Beauty, not just me, all the men in eight villages within ten miles are looking at her eagerly."
"Okay, keep talking."
"My brother has painted most of the place. Only the back room has not been finished. I am secretly happy to be able to enter the women's boudoir. I am very happy. Oh, the women's boudoir is such a wonderful place, fragrant and beautiful, so nice~"
Pang Ren said, "Say
I feel ashamed. In order to be able to enter the boudoir many times, I deliberately delayed it. I painted a room for a long time without finishing it, and painted the back room many times. Later, with the girl Hong...oh, by the way, I forgot to mention, that girl
My name is Wang Hong. Miss Wang Hong and I
She became more and more familiar with her, and my heart became more and more anxious. I felt that she liked me, so I sneaked into the house secretly on a dark and windy night, hoping to have a private meeting with Wang Hong. But I didn’t expect that when I arrived by the familiar road,
Outside the boudoir, looking inside through the window
, but found,” Pang Ren’s eyes widened when he mentioned this, as if he was still frightened by what he saw that day, “I found an ugly and vicious ghost sitting in front of the dressing table, lowering his head to draw a picture of human skin.
, and the portrait on the human skin is none other than Wang Hong!"
"Oh~Painted Skin~" Swing said calmly, "I thought she was some kind of female ghost. She doesn't even know how to perform illusions, but she still has to use this kind of trick. She's probably very average."
Pang Ren said: "I was frightened at the time and wanted to leave quickly, but I accidentally kicked over a tile and made a noise, which alerted the female ghost inside. The female ghost immediately rushed out of the window to catch me.
When I was about to catch me, some chickens suddenly appeared out of nowhere
In the house, the ghost was very afraid of chickens and hurriedly retreated, and I managed to escape. In the days that followed, I often had nightmares, dreaming that the female ghost wanted to kill me, so I searched for Taoist priests and monks to catch the ghost, but none of them were.
That female ghost's opponent injured several people."
"Then how do you survive until now?"
"Rely on those chickens." Pang Ren said, "Those chickens are our local specialty, called Suyang fragrant chicken. It is said that they have the power of the weak sky and can restrain evil spirits. In order to survive, I killed all the Suyang chickens in the town.
The chickens were put into cages and placed around the house, which finally warded off the evil spirits."
"Chickens?" As soon as this kind of bird was mentioned, Swing felt friendly, "For nothing else, just for those chickens, this fox... no, no, I mean, I have to help you control that female ghost!
"
Pang Ren was overjoyed, "The three Taoists are really willing to catch ghosts?"
"It's a small thing."
There was no nonsense. The three birdmen followed Pang Ren to the house. On the way, many townspeople heard that the Taoist priest had come to challenge the female ghost again. They were very interested. They all followed them and took the three crows to the place where they came.
There were many people gathered around.
Swing said to the townspeople: "You love to watch the excitement so much? Aren't you afraid of something happening?"
"What happened?" asked the townspeople, "We are just following Pang Yi's brother to see what Wang Hong is like. With Pang Yi in front, what can happen to us?"
"Okay, I'll serve you."
The three birdmen ignored everyone and walked into the house. It was evening at this time, the sun was setting and night was falling, which was definitely not a good time to catch ghosts. When the townspeople saw the three Taoist priests entering at this moment, they immediately started talking.
They started a discussion, saying that the three of them were liars, didn’t understand anything, and had chosen the wrong time. After a while, suddenly...
"Why!"
"ah!"
A head appeared in the house, which was a swing. She said "Hey", startling everyone.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's me, it's me." The little fox said with a smile, "With Suyang Xiangji here, the ghost may not dare to come out. You want to get them away."
"What? Take it away?" The townspeople didn't dare. "To deal with Wang Hong, we have Suyang chicken. Do you dare to take it away and risk your life? Some monks and Taoists also said they would take it away, but when Wang Hong came out,
They immediately became confused. We didn’t dare to take the Suyang Fragrant Chicken away.”
"Stop talking nonsense! I'll take them away as soon as I tell you!" Swing said, "Remember, stew a few of them. I'll eat them after I catch the ghosts." After saying that, the little fox returned to the yard.
Seeing the swing's confidence, the townspeople thought that maybe Birdman and the others were capable, so they followed the swing's instructions and carried away the Suyang fragrant chickens at the door. Almost as soon as the chickens left, everyone could only hear the rumblings in the yard.
