Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 355
The flames of the ruined temple reflected half of the mud tires, and sparks rising in mid-air floated past people's sight. Among the three people sitting in the bonfire, the elder man didn't pay attention to his companion who was looking back, and cupped his hands towards the two opposite people by the light of the fire.

"The two of you are so eloquent. You must be familiar with this place. I wonder if you can inquire about the nearby mountain towns. Is there any expert? To be honest, the two of us came from Jiangcheng County. Experts go back. Right now, I have gone to three places and found nothing."

What he said was indeed true, he and his companion came out from Jiangcheng County, passing by here, it was getting late, and they were resting in the abandoned temple on the mountain, just happened to meet two people who were also on their way, and the temple was not his own, so they invited the other party to warm up by the fire and chat After a while, it was discovered that the other party was familiar with this place.

In the deep mountains at night, as long as you don't meet a scholar, a beautiful woman, or a scholar on the road.

Wait, scholar?
The dim light of the fire shone on the face of the older man, frowning slightly. Just as he was about to think of something, the companion beside him trembled. Suddenly he yelled "Ah—" and sat down from the stone to the ground.

"Uncle Liu, that person has a problem. Yes. Yes."

The young man pulled his companion's sleeve, stammered and pointed at Chen Yuan, unable to utter the last word. Suddenly, his companion slapped him on the head again. The man glanced at the man sitting alone, and pulled up his paralyzed companion.

"Nothing, nothing, my companion is making a fuss! Disturbing, disturbing."

Turn around and pull your companion back to sit down: "Others are sitting there, what's the problem, so timid, why come out with me?"

The timid man was still in shock, and wanted to say something more. He followed the gaze of his companion and looked at Chen Yuan. The wooden bird was in his palm perfectly, and there was no abnormality.

The man rubbed his eyes vigorously, did he see it wrong?Swallowing his saliva, he turned back tremblingly, but he didn't dare to look over there. For a while, he regretted going out with Uncle Liu.

In the temple, Chen Yuan, who was half in the firelight and half in the shadow, looked at the ground, her gaze sank.

The timid man among the four over there can see the little man beside him, which means that the yang energy is not strong, or he is infected by the filthy qi.

Except for the timid man who was still trembling, the other three didn't care about this and continued talking about the previous incident.

Opposite the fire, one of the two people who were a few steps away had a thin face, and looked at the older man with a smile and bowed his hands in return: "My brothers and I are quite familiar with this place, but I have heard of some experts who can exorcise ghosts and summon gods. "

When the old man heard this, he suddenly became happy.

"Do you know where it is? If you two are free, why don't you take us there and give you some money then."

"It's not enough to talk about money."

Among the two, the other one was tall and tall, sitting there with his knees bent like a skinny man, the flame flickered, and a smile appeared on his long face.

"I can take you there, but when we arrived here, it rained heavily halfway, the road was muddy, and the goods couldn't come up, so we had to stop halfway up the mountain. You can pick them up with us later, and the four of us will help. It can also be easier, send the goods to the town over there, and we will take the two of us to find an expert."

"Here" the two people, one big and one young, looked at each other, hesitated, and went to the mountains with strangers in the middle of the night. If they met someone with evil intentions, they might die here.

If you don't go, you may miss it, and you have to spend a lot of time to inquire about it. You have traveled several villages and towns before, and you are very tired. The master at home is still waiting for the two of them to reply.

The wind blew in from the open temple door, and the long face on the side of the fire, flickering in and out of light, still had a smile on the corner of its mouth.

Just watching the two hesitate for a moment.

Suddenly there was the sound of chanting scriptures outside, as well as a series of footsteps and voices, which attracted the attention of the four people in the temple and Chen Yuan in the corner.

"Quick."

"Master, it's near here. The guy from Wang's family passed by some way ahead, and he disappeared after returning home."

"Don't even talk about it, I'm afraid of a mage."

In the night outside the temple, in the thin water mist, a few lanterns approached staggeringly along with chattering voices.

The sound of footsteps and chanting came, and Chen Yuan turned her gaze away and put the wooden bird back into her sleeve.

The four people by the bonfire over there were also looking at the temple gate at the same time, deep in the mountains and old forests, a group of people suddenly came, which immediately made them nervous.

"It's so late, who is here?"

"Still chanting. It's scary."

In an instant when the nerves were tense, the broken wall outside the temple gate greeted the eyes, but the bulging belly and the apricot zodiac robe appeared around the corner and slowly entered the field of vision.

A chubby figure, wearing a crown on his head, holding a dust whisk in his hand, his mustache stretches, closes, and then opens as he chanting sutras.Beside him is a Taoist boy with a bamboo tube in his arms and a bell tied around his waist.

The two walked in front with majestic expressions, followed by a few people from the town, Lizheng was leading the way, shopkeepers, Chen Langzhong from the pharmacy held a Buddha statue and looked around.

"Master, there is a fire in the temple, and someone is over there." Several lanterns were raised forward, their vision was dim and blurred, and everyone only saw a figure standing up beside the bonfire inside the door.

"You three come out quickly."

Li was shouting to the inside from a long distance, and was about to let people go to the temple. At this time, the fat mage who was walking in front stopped chanting, raised his face slightly and touched the mustache at the corner of his mouth. Voice.

"In the small temple in the mountain, the downcast people rest their feet. Why chase them away? It's okay to stay here. The way of the road has always been safe."

"Yes, that's what the mage said."

"Everyone, it's better not to talk, let the mage do it as soon as possible, so as to eliminate the sneakiness in this mountain forest."

Talking bluffing outside, Chen Yuan looked at the chubby figure in Taoist robe outside, grinning at the corners of her mouth.

The fat mage outside the temple didn't say much, his eyes flicked across the long and narrow corners of his eyes, and the Taoist boy beside him nodded knowingly, singing like a title, with a clear and clear voice.

"My teacher is a disciple of Liangya Mountain in the Tianshi Mansion. I passed by here and heard that ghosts and monsters are rampant, so I came here to check—"

Daotong took out three sandalwood sticks from the bamboo tube and lit candles, respectfully worshiped all around, and then presented them to the fat mage, who took the rattle from the boy's waist, jingled it a few times, While chanting something, he lit a candle with a yellow talisman and threw it into the air, then floated down.

The sudden scene made the big and small faces of the bonfire excited. Isn't this the expert they are looking for?
"Get me a mirror!"

The fat mage spread his hands, and Daotong swiftly took out a bronze mirror from the yellow cloth bag he was carrying, and handed it over with a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Master, it's so powerful, it's like being able to clean up even ghosts."

"Hmph, you know that I'm a teacher." The fat mage grabbed the bronze mirror, turned around, stepped out and moved back and forth, aiming at the surroundings, and reflected by the light of the lantern, it seemed that there was really Dharma light shooting out.

After a while, he retreated, hung down the bronze mirror with sweat profusely on his face, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat stains, and nodded to everyone over there.

"Blessed Lords, the evildoer has been taken down by this Dao, and put into the Dharma mirror." He patted the bronze mirror, and stuck a yellow talisman in the middle, then put it into the yellow cloth bag of Daotong, and flicked his whisk, windy The appearance of the immortal bone.

Chen Yuan leaned against the wall, smiling even wider, "This guy hasn't changed his face in 20 years, and he's bluffing and cheating again." '

Everyone outside the temple also reacted from the shock of the mage's fight just now, and hurried forward to ask.

"Has the ghost been taken?"

Seeing the nodding mage gave a light 'hmm', they all exhaled and cheered each other excitedly holding the lanterns.

"Master is really amazing." "That's right, amazing!"

"It's all right now, Funiu Town can be regarded as peaceful."

Amidst the clamor and clamor, the two people at the temple gate, one big and one small, were also excited. Seeing that the ceremony was over, they came out in a hurry, cupping their hands and bowing to each other.

"This Taoist priest has magical powers, which is eye-opening. I wonder if I can move to Jiangcheng County?"

Since he can come here to exterminate ghosts, he must be a Taoist priest who can be hired. The man called Uncle Liu hastily explained his purpose, but there are others who are inconvenient to say what happened. Family.

"The Taoist priest doesn't know something. I have traveled all over the surrounding villages and towns with my companions, but I can't find anyone with such supernatural powers as the Taoist priest. If there is no accident at home, I will never trouble the Taoist priest to accompany us."

The fat mage's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face. He looked at the two of them in a profound way, and waved his hands again and again.

"For such a meritorious matter, no trouble, no trouble. When you and I meet here, doesn't the blessed Lord think that this Dao intends to come here to meet the two people who can eliminate disasters and solve problems?"

One big and one small here suddenly understood, and bowed their hands again and again to express their gratitude. Funiu Town was in the middle, and a group of shopkeepers were also talking to each other.

"Master said so, there must be a reason, it seems that it is related to you two."

"That's that."

Uncle Liu repeatedly nodded and bowed his hands to return the salute. He suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned to the bonfire in the temple, still saying: "Two brothers, I won't trouble you. I have already found two of you, my master?"

His words stopped abruptly, and in his gaze, the two stood quietly at the edge of the fire, their faces covered by shadows and no expressions could be seen.

The man's action also made Li Zheng and a group of shopkeepers over there a little suspicious, and looked at them with a little unnatural expression.

Among them, Lizheng asked, "Who are you talking to?"

"No, the two merchants who came to rest in the temple. Didn't you see them? They were by the bonfire." Uncle Liu's heart skipped a beat, as if to prove something, he raised his finger to the direction.

The few people over there looked at no one at all, but the two people didn't seem to be fake, they stepped forward two steps a little closer to the temple gate, and looked inside carefully.

In the dimness, there seemed to be two vague figures standing there. The bonfire flickered, and the light swept over the two of them, revealing two pale faces, smiling at them.

Then one of the tall and thin figures suddenly bent its neck with a 'click', and its head was instantly level with its shoulders.

hiss!
Everyone gasped, their eyes widened, and they all took a step back. The next moment, the wind outside the temple became stronger, and the mountains and forests were swaying branches and leaves, and there was a rustling sound.

"Master, what a ghost!" Daotong jumped up in fright.

The eyes of the fat mage at the side lit up, and when he threw the whisk away and took the mahogany sword behind him, the crowd was so frightened that their legs were limp and their breathing was short, they rushed towards the mage over there subconsciously, and squeezed the fat mage staggering.

"Mage help!"

"There are ghosts."

The crowd rushed over, their short and fat bodies stumbling around, "Masters, please don't squeeze, let me do my best!"

rustling.
The grass and trees swayed slightly, the cold and clammy mountain wind hit people's faces, and the few people who woke up didn't want the lanterns in their hands. They were about to run around in a panic, when suddenly a wooden bird flew across the firelight in the temple, In an instant, he fell towards the two figures beside the campfire.

There was hardly any sound, the howling wind had stopped, and the cold aura just now faded from everyone.

The panic-stricken people looked into the temple tremblingly. There were no ghosts beside the bonfire, only a few wisps of smoke were still floating, and there were a few people around them.

"Hey, where's the mage?!"

"It was still here just now!"

"Yaoshou, the mage was eaten by a ghost—"

There were still a few shopkeepers in Lizheng, and they ran down the mountain in a flash.

……

The forest 'rustle' is full of swaying sounds.

Xiao Daotong, who was holding the bamboo tube, closed his eyes and trembled with fright. He couldn't feel any movement for a long time. He opened his eyes slowly, and saw Master's chubby figure standing in front of him, his robe fluttering, revealing his thick, hairy legs .

"Master?" Daotong whispered.

The master in front didn't respond, but looked at the cliff in front of him. A figure in a crumpled robe was slowly turning around, with a handsome face and a half-foot-long beard slightly stroking, like a schoolteacher.

The fat mage's lips trembled slightly, and after a long time, he squeezed out: "Master..."

Then, wow burst into tears, and sat down on the ground.

Xiao Daotong had never seen his master weeping like this before, and he stood there in a daze. In his eyes, the teacher over there smiled and walked over step by step.
