I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 486 The man in the house fights ghosts

"None of these foxes can talk!"

"It's just an ordinary wild fox in the mountains." Song You replied casually, "If he could talk, he would be a vixen."

"Then can they play the piano?"

"I can't even speak, let alone play the piano."

"They're not smart!"

"How can she compare to Sanhua Empress?"

"Then they also play with their tails?"

"Miss Sanhua, go ask them."

At this time, two figures, one large and one small, were sitting in a stall by the roadside. There were two bowls of green tofu on each table, accompanied by wooden spoons. There was also a swallow standing beside the table.

The stall owner was still shouting loudly from the front:

"Madara~dove~tofu~"

The first two words have a long tail sound, the sound is high-pitched, and the last two words are pronounced crisply. Repeatedly, the rhythm is clear, and it has a lot of charm.

This is the survival wisdom of hawkers these days.

Maybe it will enter the memories of many people.

"Well……"

The little girl didn't ask any more questions, just lowered her head, poked and poked in the bowl with a spoon until all the dark green tofu in the bowl was smashed, mixed evenly with the seasoning, and then scooped it into her mouth.

I frowned and thought it didn't taste good.

So he turned his head again and asked the swallow if he wanted to eat.

Naturally, swallows won’t eat it either.

Only Song You ate happily.

The so-called turtle dove tofu is tofu made from turtle dove leaves.

Now in midsummer, it is the time when turtle dove leaves grow best. Pick them, wash them, and rub them into green pulp. Some add plant ash, and some rub them directly with pumpkin leaves. It will naturally solidify, and what you get is ink. Green turtle dove tofu.

It is said to be tofu, but in fact it is more like jelly. It has a refreshing taste and can be mixed with seasonings to cool down and relieve the heat.

I don’t know who discovered it first.

It is also the survival wisdom of the ancient people.

Song You heard someone selling turtle dove tofu. Thinking that it was already noon and his stomach was empty, he came over and asked the price, then sat down and ordered two bowls.

The mix at this stall is also very simple, just a little soy sauce and vinegar to add the base flavor, finely chopped pickled cabbage and a little sesame oil are the finishing touches, and the stinginess adds several levels of texture.

Although there is not much oil or water, it is still sour and refreshing, which is very comfortable on this hot day.

Song You sat and ate slowly, savoring the food slowly.

He also savored the fireworks on the streets of this strange town.

The small bowl was finished quickly.

"brush……"

The sound of the bottom of the bowl rubbing against the tabletop.

With a white and tender little hand, her arms were also thin and white, she pushed the bowl of turtle dove tofu that she had only eaten one bite to the Taoist, and imitated the Taoist's normal tone and expression:

"For the Taoist priests to eat."

"Isn't Mistress Sanhua going to eat?"

"It's made of grass," Sanhua Empress said. "Swallows don't eat grass, and neither do cats."

"It's true that swallows don't eat grass." Song You turned to look at the swallow next to him, then looked back at the cat, "But do cats really not eat grass?"

"Sanhua cats don't eat them."

"But how come I've seen Empress Sanhua eat it?"

"Calico cats eat it occasionally."

Sanhua Empress corrected her words quickly.

"Occasionally..."

"You can eat as long as you want, eat as fast as you can." The little girl sat upright and looked at him seriously. "The Taoist priests gave meat and fish to Sanhua Empress to eat, and Sanhua Empress also gave grass to the Taoist priests to eat."

"I thank you..."

"You're welcome!"

The girl answered without hesitation.

The Taoist shook his head and continued to pick up the spoon.

The girl lowered her head, opened the opening of the robe, took out a small dried loach, held it in her hand and started to chew it, breaking off a small piece from time to time and handing it to the swallow.

"The turtle dove tofu is very delicious. When I was in the Taoist temple, there were not many snacks on the mountain. When I got greedy, I had to go to the mountain to make my own ideas. Every summer, I would pick turtle dove leaves to make it." Song You ate and watched. Xiang her, "When I go back in the future, I can try to make something sweet for Empress Sanhua."

"Sweet!"

"I don't know if it tastes good or not..."

“Sweet and delicious!”

"Try it."

"I'll add some dried loach powder for you. It will definitely taste delicious! It's just like dried shrimp cubs!"

"No, thank you."

"Forget it..."

The whole family finally became quiet.

There are still foxes running through the streets of the small town.

The Taoist ate turtle dove tofu in silence, with memories on his face. The girl gnawed on the loach and turned her head, watching the foxes running from one side to the other, not knowing what she was thinking.

……

It was already mid-afternoon when we returned to Xu Mansion.

The Xu Mansion had already prepared yellow paper for him, and he was concerned when he saw him. He had lunch outside at noon, so he was a little impatient to wait.

"Although Fuyao County is not big, it is also bustling and lively, and there is quite a lot of places to visit. We lost track of time while walking around, so we kept you all waiting." Song You replied with a smile, turning to the children beside him and saying, " Please ask Miss Sanhua to go back to the room and fetch cinnabar and a brush for me." It didn't take long for the cinnabar brush to be fetched.

While everyone in the Xu family was watching, Song You drew the talisman with his brush, moving around easily and casually.

When I put down the pen, there is inspiration, and when the words appear, there is a breeze.

The breeze stirred the grass and trees in the courtyard, and also lifted the sleeves and long hair of the people watching. They had never seen such a talisman in their lives, so they all said it was extraordinary.

When the symbol is completed, the luster appears and the ink dries on its own.

Song You drew fourteen pictures in a row.

All on a big yellow paper.

Then he put down the brush, used his fingers as knives, and drew a few lines horizontally and vertically on the yellow paper. The talisman paper was cut into strips three fingers wide and as long as the forearm, almost the same size.

Song You folded it up carefully.

"There are two types of talismans. The one folded into a triangle is the yin-warming talisman, which is the best at defeating yin ghosts. The talisman folded into a square can cure evil spirits to distinguish them." Song You handed it to the head of the Xu family and warned, "Hang the talisman in the room to prevent ghosts and evil spirits from approaching. If you wear it on your body, it has the same effect, and it can also protect yourself from the evil spirits and evil spirits. If the talisman is worn on your body, then ordinary people will The ethereal ghostly ghost that cannot be seen or touched can be seen and touched."

"Is there only seven sets? I wonder if the Immortal Master..."

"There are only these seven sets of talismans." Song You naturally knew what the old man meant, "But those who hold talismans can not only see ghosts, but also protect themselves from being harmed by ghosts and evil spirits. As long as they make good use of them, there are no two kinds. There are only seven talismans each, and even one talisman each is enough to protect the Xu Mansion."

"Old man, take note..."

"I've been shopping for a long time today, and I'm a little tired, so I'm going back to rest first." Song You handed him over, "I have to remind the owner that the talisman is not omnipotent. It can only protect the integrity of the holder. As for whether it can protect the holder." To get rid of ghosts and evil spirits, you need to put more thought into it, test your talents and strategies, and have some courage and courage."

"I'll be careful when I wait!"

Song You took Sanhua Empress back to her room.

Sit cross-legged and practice with your eyes closed.

Really ignore the outside world.

Night fell slowly, and even dinner was brought by someone from the Xu Mansion.

All I know is that that night, there was a lot of activity outside the door, the atmosphere in the courtyard was tense, and everyone was on alert.

The old woman didn't come until the bright moon appeared on the branches.

Then the courtyard suddenly became lively.

First there were voices and debates, and then there were angry curses from both sides, and then there were fierce shouting, accompanied by the screams of ghosts. The commotion could be heard by half of Fuyao County.

The commotion lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, and then the sounds of cursing, debate and talking resumed. It wasn't until everyone returned to their rooms that the ghost-hunting drama that woke up half the city came to an end.

The calico cat was lying on the window looking out from the beginning to the end.

Taoists practice with their eyes closed from beginning to end.

……

Early the next morning, Xu Mansion was as quiet as if nothing happened last night.

When Song You opened his eyes, the calico cat was no longer around, but he heard the voices outside the door again. The voices were not loud, they were whispering. It was really like when he was practicing in the Taoist temple on the mountain, he woke up in the yard every morning. Bird chirping - you can hear it even if you listen carefully, and you can easily filter it out even if you don't want to hear it, without feeling noisy at all.

"Miss Sanhua watched you guys fight ghosts last night, and they fought for half the night."

"Yes, we fought until the fourth watch. Fortunately, the matter was finally resolved and the house can be peaceful for a while."

"My Taoist priest told Sanhua Empress not to help, otherwise Sanhua Empress will help you fight and beat the ghost to death in one go!"

"The Immortal Master has helped us a lot. And it didn't just help us this time. Since then, no matter how many evil ghosts and ghosts happened in the city, the Immortal Master has already helped us think of a solution in advance. This is the real help. Both the host and Mr. Xu should be grateful for the great help they have given us."

The girl's voice was heard for a while.

"Sounds like it's awesome~"

"The Immortal Master thinks far and far, so he is naturally powerful."

"It's not him!"

"Huh? But I don't know..."

"It's you! You sound like you are very powerful! My Taoist priest said you will definitely be very powerful in the future!"

"what?"

"Did you eat the mouse that Sanhua Empress gave you?"

"I ate one last night. To be honest with you, Miss Sanhua, and I am not just flattering you. After Xu ate it, I felt that it had a long aroma, excellent taste, and endless aftertaste. It was really the most delicious thing Xu had ever tasted in his life."

"Sanhua Empress added spices, the best spices. She learned it from Taoist priests. No one else can make it, and it's very expensive."

"That's it! No wonder no wonder!"

"this afternoon……"

Before the female fairy tale was finished, she heard another squeak.

The door behind him was pushed open.

The Taoist has been dressed and washed.

Sanhua Empress is still talking to the guests at the door, still separated by a pillar, one is lively and talkative, the other is respectful and reserved, while the swallows are watching the show in the tree.

"Mister is awake?"

The scholar surnamed Xu breathed a sigh of relief again and saluted quickly: "Xu came to invite you to have breakfast. The head of the family should have thanked you for your help and reported to him what happened last night."

"Let's go." Song You took a step forward, "Just in time, I stayed at the house for three days. Thanks to the hospitality, it's time for us to leave. It's time to say goodbye to the head of the family."

"Sir, are you leaving now?"

The scholar surnamed Xu was very surprised when he heard this.

"Leave today."

"Sir, you have been very kind to the Xu family. Why don't you stay a few more days so that we can fulfill our friendship as landlords and the family master can express our gratitude?"

Song You looked calm and kept walking: "The world has changed. It is better to move forward than to stay any longer."

"This……"

When the scholar surnamed Xu heard this, he couldn't say any more. What's more, he was not from the Xu Mansion, so he had to say: "The master of the house has hosted a luncheon, so I'll invite you to have a lunch before leaving."

At the same time, a child's clear and crisp voice came from beside him, full of expectation:
"Let's go after lunch!"

"..."

The Taoist was very helpless, but he had no choice but to agree.
