I hurriedly agreed, and then asked this little fox girl, what is the demon attracting card?
She had black lines all over her head, complaining that I didn't understand anything. I smiled bitterly and spread my hands, "You are really right, I really don't know anything. I have only been in this industry for more than three months."
Cai Lin was so angry that she grabbed the ashtray on the coffee table and seemed to want to throw it at me. Unfortunately, she was too weak to even complete a simple movement, so she had to lie down softly and said very weakly, "Find an ashtray first."
An old locust tree, at least twenty years old, then take advantage of the full moon at midnight to remove the core of the wood, engrave it with runes, and let it be illuminated by the sun and the moon..."
I was confused and hurriedly asked her to stop, saying that the way of carving runes and seals was a Taoist craft, and I didn't know how to do it.
Cai Lin looked at me with a look full of disgust, rolled her eyes and said, "I can't do this, I can't do that. How come you still have the guts to break into the Ghost Faced Ape's cave?"
My face was full of pain, and I said that I didn't know it was so dangerous beforehand. She was too weak to bother arguing with me, and asked me to get a piece of locust wood core first.
I nodded in agreement. At this time, my cell phone rang in my arms. It was a call from Haozi, asking me where I was. I said that I had come back and was renting a house. I was busy with worldly affairs today, so I might be very busy, maybe not.
Way to go back to the store.
Haozi said, "It doesn't matter. I just called to make sure you were safe. Don't worry about what happened in the store. I'm here."
After hanging up the phone, I took the little fox back to the room and let her have a good rest, while I went out to find out where the old locust trees were.
Although there are many trees and flowers in the urban area, I can't find a locust tree. I spent most of the day walking around the city for an old locust tree, but I couldn't find anything that met my requirements.
I felt very anxious, and I accidentally passed by a road. I was crossing the zebra crossing with a lot of thoughts, when I heard someone behind me calling my name.
When I looked back, I found a gentle face among the crowd, sitting on the edge of the flower bed, looking at me with a smile.
Chen Xuanyi?
My eyes lit up and I thought what a coincidence. I quickly backed away from the zebra crossing and jogged to his side, "Why are you here?"
He still had a gentle smile on his face, and said to me, "Last time we said goodbye, we were here and there for more than half a month. I wandered the streets and alleys, doing fortune-telling for a living. I wanted to collect the money to go to the north. It's really amazing.
What a coincidence, I met you again."
I smiled and said yes, we are indeed very destined.
Only then did I notice that Chen Xuan also had a divination stall set up at his feet, so I jokingly said with a smile, "You are away from home and just rely on divination to pay for your travel expenses. How is the harvest?"
He smiled coquettishly and waved his hand to say it was not good. There were many fortune tellers in the city, but after all, he was too young and did not have the appearance of a chicken-skinned and fair-haired man. He had been setting up a stall here for two days, but no one cared.
I said, how do you live? Chen Xuan rubbed his belly and said with some embarrassment, "You can only eat and sleep in the open air and drink the northwest wind."
I saw that he had a good face, and I was afraid that he was not having an easy time, so I thought it was a little funny, so I quickly helped him get up and said, "How can you, the majestic head disciple of Qingcheng Mountain, with such a big gold-lettered sign, accept such grievances? Let's go, let me"
Let me take you to have something to eat first.
There happened to be a food stall nearby, so I asked the waiter to bring the menu, put it in front of Chen Xuanyi, and asked him to order for himself.
He didn’t show politeness to me. He took the menu and ordered three meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes. I looked surprised and asked him, aren’t all monks and nuns vegetarian? He smiled shyly, shook his head and said, “That’s not the case, we have different sects.”
As the Zhengyi sect and the Quanzhen sect, our Zhengyi sect is more casual and does not taboo against meat and fish."
I suddenly realized it and called the waiter to serve him wine, but Chen Xuanyi held his arm and shook his head and said, "I won't drink anymore. I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."
I said, "You are too polite. We are all friends, what is there to say?"
Chen Xuan pointed at my brow and said, judging from your face, you may be in trouble recently.
I was shocked and asked him why he said this. Chen Xuanyi smiled immediately, blinked his eyes, and said with a faint smile, "People have their own way of crossing the Yangtze River, and ghosts cross the Naihe Bridge. Brother Lin, how could you get involved with evil spirits?"
?”
My heart skipped a beat, and I secretly thought that this little Taoist priest has really poisonous eyes!
Seeing that I refused to speak clearly, Chen Xuanyi did not force anything and said slowly, "I just said it casually. Please forgive me if there is any conflict."
I quickly shook my head, grabbed his wrist and said, "You're right, I did take in a little thing recently, and you've seen it too..."
After saying that, I looked up and looked around. People at the tables next to me were all punching each other, but no one noticed. Then I lowered my voice and told the story in detail.
Chen Xuanyi listened calmly until I finished everything I said, then suddenly nodded and said, "I see, it seems that you and this little fox are somewhat destined."
I smiled bitterly and returned to a sad look. Chen Xuan saw through my thoughts, so he smiled lightly and said, "Don't be anxious. Although the demon-baiting card is difficult to get, it is not a rare thing. Since we are destined to meet you,
I can give you one."
I was overjoyed, slapped my thigh and said, "Yes, you are a descendant of the Taoist sect, and you must be extremely proficient in the art of talismans and seals. I was so confused that I forgot to ask you for help."
At this time, the waiter had brought several hot dishes. We ended the conversation and hurriedly filled our stomachs. After finishing the bill, I settled the bill, grabbed Chen Xuanyi's hand, and said that it would be better to choose a different day than to hit it, so he would accompany me.
Take a look at the rental house.
Chen Xuanyi did not delay, but was a little embarrassed, saying that he still had some luggage left under the bridge.
I hailed a taxi and accompanied him to the bridge where he was temporarily staying.
When I looked around the place, I realized how difficult it is to be a family member. There were scavengers and all kinds of idle people everywhere in the area. The squat bridge was dirty and broken, and there was a lot of garbage piled up. The place where Chen Xuanyi lived.
, it’s just a rotten shack built with wooden sticks, it can be called a real house with bare walls and not even a cup for drinking water.
I looked at the broken bridge hole with air leakage from all sides, and said with a wry smile, "You are so capable, why do you have to do this to yourself? Look at where you live, the beggars are more demanding than you."
He himself looked aggrieved and said, "Just think of me." I thought that relying on the skills taught by my masters, I would be able to travel smoothly in the world, but only after I got down the mountain did I realize that the world was changing too fast, and no one believed in that way anymore.
Already.
He is a Taoist who can neither steal nor rob. He took the initiative to ask someone to tell his fortune, but he was rejected. If he hadn't met me, I would have gone back to the bridge hole hungry tonight.
Talking about what happened to him after he came down from the mountain, Chen Xuanyi was very embarrassed. If he had known about this, he would have been better off joining a few senior brothers from outside the sect, so that he could have enough food and clothing, and would not be living on the streets like he is now.
With a sigh on my face, I took out all the cash in my wallet, handed it to him and said, "You helped me twice, but I didn't even have time to thank you properly. I should just use this little money as a token of my appreciation."
