Creation of Animals in the Extermination of Corpses and Ghosts in Xiangxi

The meal was extremely awkward. Originally, it was a reunion of relatives, and the heart-warming scene was staged without any emotion. Because Tang Yi intervened, everyone lost interest. After eating a little, they put down the bowls and chopsticks. At this time, Zhang Ruolong Then he came in like a ghost, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I didn't accompany you for this meal. If you are still interested, I will accompany you to the city of Changsha. If you are tired, I will pay you for it." Everyone take a bath and change clothes, rest early, and we will discuss things tomorrow." Eating, playing and sleeping together, this Ruolong host is very considerate. Of course, it is also because Tang Fang's status today is different from the past. The master of Zhu You, and Zhu You's lineage is the only one in the Taoist sect in Xiangxi, and many characters are people who are shaking their feet on the ground in Xiangxi. The military commander wants to get his power into the Taoist sect of Xiangxi. It is the best tool, so Zhang Ruolong is naturally serving him attentively, for fear of offending Young Master Tang.

For Wang Xianqiao, who has never stepped into the world for thousands of years, every one of them is undoubtedly new. With his character, he can't sit still, but today he said for the first time: "Today I am too tired to wait for a long journey. Discuss again, aha, I'd better go to bed earlier—hey, why didn't I see half of your maids here."

Zhang Ruolong is an old man, so he has already seen that the boy's appearance is not Wang Xianqiao's real age, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, our military command lacks everything, except women, sir, please come with me .”

Wang Xianqiao stretched his waist, walked in front of Tang Yi, patted Tang Yi on the head, and said, "Give me some snacks for my ancestor." After speaking, he blinked and walked away with a wave. The man took Wang Xianqiao down to rest, and then personally brought Tang Fang and Hua Po to a shrine in the backyard.

The two of them were together, and Zhang Ruolong didn't arrange servants to serve him, so his attitude was self-evident. Hua Liqiao blushed slightly, but she didn't refuse, and walked in silently. Tang Fang followed behind with a serious look on her face. Helpless, this scapegoat seems to be a mistake.

After Zhang Ruolong and Tang Fang talked about some innocuous scenes, Zhang Ruolong cupped his hands and said: "Then don't disturb the elegant mood of the two of you, I will leave, and I will invite you to get up early tomorrow. We still have business to talk about. Shangfeng is very optimistic about my brothers." Yes, the way for brothers to get promoted and make a fortune is just around the corner, so don't forget to take care of your brothers when the time comes."

After talking, Zhang Ruolong left with a big laugh, only Tang Fang and Hua Po were left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. That's right, after a long time, he said softly: "Flowers are waiting for Mr. Tang to take a bath and change clothes."

Tang Fang frowned, and said: "Forget it, why do big men wash so often, forget it."

"The flowers are waiting for Mr. Tang to wash his feet—you have to wash your feet." Huashen raised her head boldly, made a grimace at Tang Fang, and said with a smile, "If Mr. Tang's feet don't wash, summer Even if you don’t light the incense, I’m sure you won’t be afraid of mosquitoes.”

Tang Fang scratched his head. He still couldn't remember the last time he washed his feet. He smiled embarrassingly, and said, "It's better—forget it... this, this..."

"That's impossible," Hua Po smiled, looking around on his own initiative, Zhang Ruolong is really a careful person, everything has been arranged properly, new pajamas, new bath towels, and in the corner, the risky There was white steam coming from a steaming pot that hadn't been boiled for a long time. Hua Li came to fetch water, and Tang Fang blushed a little. Take it off, put Tang Fang's feet in just warm water, and rub them gently with your hands. The life Tang Fang dreamed of back then finally appeared, but he didn't seem to enjoy it at all. Instead, he was at a loss. Maybe this is fate. , No matter how good the blessing is, you can't enjoy it.

Huaxue rubbed it carefully, then suddenly raised her head and said, "Huaxue has a saying, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Speak." Tang Fang managed to find a topic to ease the awkward atmosphere, and quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Master Tang——Master Tang..." Hua Po said cautiously, "Is Master Tang a member of the government?"

"Well, how should I say it?"

"No, from what you said, it seems that Mr. Zhang seems to be a figure in the government, and it seems that Mr. Tang and Mr. Zhang seem to have a very good relationship..."

"What's the matter..." Tang Fang said casually, "Speaking of it, he and I are still somewhat close..."

"Then..." Hua Po's complexion became more and more serious, and she asked softly, "Is Master Tang really a high official in the government?"

"I don't have such a good life," Tang Fang said, "I'm not really friends with them. Zhang Ruolong is a nice guy, but he's too scheming, and he hides a knife in his smile. From his appearance, he belongs to the kind of person who only cares about adversity but not wealth." People, people you should not be close to." Master Tang said very confidently.

"Oh." Hua Po seemed to be slightly relieved, but she was still worried, and said, "Then, is it because Master Tang received his favor today, and will do business with him in the future..."

Tang Fang smiled and said: "To be honest, as long as they don't let me do things that are harmful to nature, they will help if they can. After all, the military command is pretty good to me. Besides, the military command is powerful, and I don't want to offend unless it is absolutely necessary. They, but if they think that I Tang Fang is a pig-headed Asan or something like that, and it seems that a little favor can manipulate me Tang at will, then they are wrong. Although I Tang Fang is afraid of trouble, if it is true If you mess with me, I'm not easy to mess with."

"Oh," the tension on Hua Po's face eased a little, and Tang Fang realized that Hua Po seemed a little strange, lowered his head, and asked softly, "Do you have anything..."

"It's okay, it's okay..." Hua Po put on a smile and said, "I'm just asking casually. The water is cold, so I'll add some more."

"Forget it." Tang Fang raised his foot, shook it in the air, and rolled onto the bed with his clothes. Only then did he realize that Hua Li was born in Miao Jiang, and there was some conflict between Miao Jiang and the government. He also heard about it a little bit. Of course, the word "slight conflict" is what Tang Fang said according to the thinking of being a soldier in the past. If you fight against the government, the consequences can be imagined. Hua Po may have a relative who died in the government Of course, Hua Po didn't have the slightest affection for people in the government, so she carefully probed Tang Fang's identity. If Tang Fang was really a "dog official", it must have stimulated her It must not be small, and I'm afraid it will be another struggle to decide how to choose. However, although it has been confirmed that Tang Fang is not from the government, she must feel uncomfortable to be so close to the government.

After Tang Fang lay down, he pretended to fall asleep with his clothes on, and Hua Po secretly sighed in his heart, and slept next to Tang Fang with his clothes on, curled up into a ball, as if he was afraid of bumping into Tang Fang, Tang Fang was like a mirror in his heart, But so what, he already owes enough love debts, the old ones are not paid off, and the new ones come again. If he has time, he really has to go to Longhu Mountain and other bullshit places, grab a bull-nosed Taoist priest, and give it to him. I scattered the peach blossoms by myself, but after thinking about it, the problem should not be my own fate, but my incomparably handsome face. When I thought about it, I suddenly felt very distressed and couldn't figure it out. sleep.

In the middle of the night, the moonlight was clear and bright, illuminating the entire mansion. Tang Fang opened his eyes, and suddenly jumped up from the bed. Footsteps sounded outside the door. Tang Fang opened the door. Wang Xianqiao was already holding Tang Yi, who was pouting. smirked at himself.

Tang Fang looked around and made sure no one had noticed, so he quickly closed the door, and said a little nervously, "Did you not disturb anyone else?"

Wang Xianqiao said triumphantly: "Do you think there is anyone in this shabby house who can keep up with my Great Ancestor Wang? Don't worry, the three women are all exhausted by me, sleeping like pigs..." After finishing speaking Probing his head and looking at Tang Fang's bed, he said with a smirk on his face, "Isn't the ancestor not bad?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Tang Fang turned his head and glanced at Huaxun who was already asleep. These days, they traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, and Huaxun was already exhausted, so let her take a good rest.Don't startle her.

Wang Xianqiao lowered his voice and said: "On the first day of each month, Master Gong will drop blood to make offerings to the ghost boy at [-] o'clock in the evening of the fifteenth day. Tonight is the night of the fifteenth day of the full moon. We will have a good show later. Now, Tang Yi, when the time comes, you have to open your eyes wide to see the true face of your dilapidated master, but the process may be a bit bloody, so you won't feel uncomfortable."

Tang Yi patted his chest and said, "Don't be afraid."

Although Tang Yi was young, he came from an unknown family of exorcising corpses. Naturally, he would not be too afraid of ghosts. Tang Fang had seen Tang Yi's performance in the Qing Pagoda with his own eyes.

Wang Xianqiao moistened his lips and said: "The reason why the way of raising ghosts is so harmful is actually because of the way of removing ghost children. In the white-clothed tribute, most of them are taken from little ghosts who died unjustly. After rebirth, his hostility is very deep. Therefore, the practical method for Baiyi Gong is to grind it, use incense to make offerings, and grind away the hostility of the little ghost, so that he can be influenced slowly. When Baiyi Gong feels that time is running out , will release this little ghost, and save him to the next life. This is actually an act of accumulating virtue, but the spiritual power of the raised ghost boy is very low, that is, to help sweep the floor and do housework, such as carrying ghost ear newspapers. Ghosts, shade vegetable ghosts, dew ghosts, coffin spirits, etc. are all ghost boys in white clothes. These ghost boys are useless and a pity to throw them away. With some luck, this ghost boy suddenly mutates, and if he can escape the catastrophe, he can be purified into Liu Linglang, and then he will get rich. This Liu Linglang is a good thing, not only has his own The real body, and can have the ability of foresight and foresight. When Bai Yigong is facing an irresistible catastrophe, Liu Linglang can even help him escape the catastrophe-but Liu Linglang is too rare, and the Bai Yigong I know None of the tributes can be raised, but most of the white-clothed tributes are kind-hearted people. Their purpose of raising ghosts is not really for selfishness, but to save all living beings. I, Wang Xianqiao, most despise those hypocritical bull-nosed people in Longhushan , but facing the white-clothed tribute, I have to admire them. They are really rare characters in this world. However, the generations are sinister, and there is no profit. So I figured that there should be no white-clothed tribute today."

"The black-clothed tribute is absolutely the opposite. The purpose of their raising ghosts is to harm people and increase the power of their head-bending techniques. The ghost boys they use are not acquired, but dead babies born in the womb. Soak the whole baby's corpse in potion for 49 days, hold ceremonies and chant mantras for it every day, after 49 days, it will shrink to the size of a palm, and then it will be handed over to start offering, and blood must be dripped for offering every night , there can be no interruption, otherwise you have to start from the beginning, and after 49 days of bleeding, it will be small."

"Raising ghosts is a very troublesome thing, because most ghost children are ruthless and stingy, and you must be very careful when raising them, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. Even if the donor has children, he should be put first. The tribute masters are all widowers, without children and without daughters, and the little ghost is born to love cleanliness, so the place where he is raised must be very clean, without any filth, otherwise the kid will get angry, and the ghost boy will be angry, and the tribute master will spend a lot of time Zhou Zhang, maybe everything has to start all over again."

"But how do you tell the difference between the white-clothed tribute and the black-clothed tribute? They won't write it on their faces? How do you know that I, Ah Zan, is a black-clothed tribute, not a white-clothed tribute? I dare say that Ah Zan must be a merciful white-clothed tribute. You wronged him."

"I, Wang Xianqiao, can be wrong when looking at people?" Wang Xianqiao said, "You will find out when you go to see it later. The ghosts in white clothes are raised with nine sticks of incense. And the black-clothed tribute is the lamp, which is very particular. The lamp oil is called tongue ghost oil, which is mixed with corpse oil and lamp oil enshrined in front of the Buddha, plus an unknown bird tongue , mixed and refined."

"Don't you know any birds? Aren't you amazing?" Tang Yi countered.

Wang Xianqiao spread his hands and said, "That thing is the same as the medicine cited in the traditional Chinese medicine shop. It is top secret, and even my disciples are unwilling to pass it on easily. I don't know, but I can tell you, that thing is very interesting. If you If you can find this bird, and smear his tongue on your own, and make sure you're smart, mouthful, and in business, that's the best thing. If you can get that shabby Master’s true biography, I got that kind of bird tongue, remember to save some for me, I have everything here, but I’m missing such a fun thing.”

Tang Yi pursed his lips and said nothing more, Tang Fang looked at the clock on the wall, and said, "It's almost time, don't talk anymore, go and see what that black-clothed tribute is up to."

The three stopped talking, and under the leadership of Wang Xianqiao, they groped towards the residence of the man in black.
