20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 259: Being tricked

Blue sky and white sun, Qiao family residence.

In the courtyard, Second Master Qiao's servants and eight disciples of Immortal Master Wu Fangzi were busy arranging rituals.

The curtains on the high platform, the fragrance of red candles, the imperial flag and ruler, the yellow talisman and cinnabar, the three pure bells, the peach wood sword, the old copper coins, the longevity lamp...

All these, whether they can be used or not, are all prepared and placed one by one according to the requirements.

Don't dare to slack off in the slightest, let alone be lazy in the slightest.

Second Master Qiao was generous and concerned about face. He told him clearly that no matter how high or low the ritual equipment was, sincerity would be effective.

But who is Second Master Qiao?

How is it possible to use those cheap goods to make people laugh?

All requests made by the Immortal Master do not need to be reported and inquired, and they are all bought at high prices. The servants also make some profit from this. Second Master Qiao may not be aware of it, but he is too lazy to take care of it.

The women stayed away, and the men went about their business step by step. Of course, Mr. Qiao was not idle either.

Immortal Master Wu Fangzi asked him to go to the entrance of Qiao's ancestral hall, prepare a copper basin, and while everyone was busy, handed him a large pile of Yin Wealth Paper Treasures to burn and worship.

"I have to ask you again." Wu Fangzi whispered, "In the past three days, no one has entered the ancestral hall except you, right?"

Second Master Qiao nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Immortal Master, everything will be done according to your request."

"Then burn it! Kneel here, don't move around, burn all these paper money and ingots, don't worry."

"Good good!"

Second Master Qiao had nothing to say about performing filial piety to his ancestors, so he immediately knelt down and threw the paper treasures into the brazier one by one in a very orderly manner, and occasionally raised his eyes to glance at the densely packed black lacquer tablets in the hall.

In an instant, the Qiao family's courtyard was filled with smoke and black ash.

By the time all the sinful wealth was burned, Mr. Qiao was already choked with tears, his eyes were red and swollen, and he stepped aside far away. Everything he saw when he opened his eyes was blurry.

"Okay! It's almost time, I'll remind you again!"

Immortal Master Wu Fangzi swept his gaze across the crowd, and then said: "Anyone who is female, please avoid it immediately; anyone who has been in poor health recently, please avoid it immediately; anyone who is engaged in killing, please avoid it immediately!"

Everyone floated around and looked at each other, but no one left.

"Okay!" Immortal Master Wu Fangzi added, "When we open the forum later, we will do the following. First, we should not whisper to each other; second, we should not point and point; third, we should not walk around for no reason. Do you understand?"

Mr. Qiao rubbed his red and swollen eyes, and the leader responded: "I understand, please invite the immortal master!"

"Come here! Offer incense, light the lamp, and open the altar!"

Burning incense and lighting lamps are essential in front of the altar.

The incense can convey the heart and the letter, and feel the true spirit; the lamp can break the darkness and open the spring night.

The incense lamp is equipped, and the wisdom of the sun, moon and stars, the three lights, reach up to the heaven of the nine heavens and down to the underworld of the nine netherworlds.

Regardless of whether it is effective or not, with this set of religious rhetoric, no matter who sees it, can't help but become serious and solemn.

The immortal master has no prescription, holding a copper bell, stepping on Yu steps, chanting words, and walking around the stage with a sword.

The eight disciples were lined up on the left and right, with solemn expressions and holding the Immortal Secret in their hands to help.

With this formation alone, who will take notice of it and who will not be fooled?

Mr. Qiao's eyes were open, his mouth was open, his mind was hanging, and his body was tense. He was concentrating and watching the changes.

Immortal Master Wu Fangzi circled the altar several times, and then returned to the case. The Sanqing bell in his hand jingled loudly, and he chanted a long prayer in his mouth.

Although the words were unclear, one could guess from just a few words that he was going to heaven and paying homage to the underworld, trying to temporarily invite the ancestors of the Qiao family back to the Yangshi to ask a few questions.

After chanting for a long time, Immortal Master Wu Fang Zi slapped the copper bell in front of the case with a "pop" sound. He lifted the ink pen with his right hand and picked up the magic formula with his left hand. He ignited it, then walked quickly to the door of the ancestral hall and threw the talisman into the copper basin where Yin wealth was burned.

"Kowtow to the ancestors of the Qiao family!"

Following a loud shout, two of the eight disciples separated out, held up the copper basin with their hands, poured the black ash in it along the threshold, and poured it into the ancestral hall.

Then, he gently waved the hem of his clothes, half sweeping and half blowing. With a little wind, he saw the black ash of Yin Cai sticking to the ground and slowly blowing.

Mr. Qiao and others didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to move around easily, so they stretched their necks and rushed into the hall to watch.

It didn't matter at first glance. In the spring and warm season, everyone was stunned to see goosebumps all over their body.

I saw that after the Yin Cai black dust was gently brushed, it left rows of tightly packed footprints on the masonry ground!

Although it is not very regular, the outline is clearly presented.

Second Master Qiao suddenly felt an explosion in his head, and a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his back. He felt that his knees were weak, and he fell to his knees with a "pop". He was shocked and frightened, and shouted loudly: "Dad! Brother! Ancestors!" Sects, Qi Min kneels down to you!"

A slave takes his master's surname. As soon as Qiao Qimin knelt down, the servants behind him had no choice but to follow suit, kneeling down and shouting mournfully.

"Ouch! Old lady! Uncle!"

How could you let go of the opportunity to show your loyalty to your master so easily?

For a time, everyone was competing with each other in howling, shouting, and crying. The scene was extremely chaotic.

"quiet!"

Immortal Master Wu Fangzi's hand was trembling as he kneaded the magic formula, as if he had spent thousands of years of practice and ten lifetimes of immortality. It was quite strenuous.

"If you shout again, you won't be able to send him back!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately became mute and stopped crying or howling.

Immortal Master Wu Fangzi saw that Mr. Qiao stopped shouting, and then he said quietly: "Master Qiao, I want to help you ask why your ancestors are angry. Don't disturb me."

"Hey, okay!" Mr. Qiao agreed repeatedly, turned his head and shouted, "Don't even say anything!"

Therefore, Immortal Master Wu Fangzi quickly took out the yellow paper from the altar, picked up the ink pen, and made a few ticks on it.

"The sky is bright, the earth is bright, the ancestors of the Qiao family speak up! The filial son and the virtuous grandson bow before the hall, where does the crime come from to cause trouble? Please give me your instructions to eliminate this resentment and anger in exchange for peace..." The rest of the process is the same as "Little "Supernatural power" is the same as what Li Zhengxi showed to the old concierge that day - burn the yellow paper on the candle flame, put the ashes in a bowl, twist a handful, and knead it in the palm of your hand.

"Did not say?"

Immortal Master Wu Fangzi frowned, except for a ball of black ash on his palm, not even a single word appeared!

Second Master Qiao asked anxiously: "Master Immortal, this... what does this mean?"

"Do not talk!"

Immortal Master Wu Fangzi scolded him sharply, and immediately tried the same process again.

However, after trying three or five times, the text never appeared on the palm.

Seeing that he couldn't ask the question, the immortal master became anxious. He wrote another talisman and burned it, but he changed his words, and his tone was more like an order. There was a spirit under his shoes, he stamped one foot on the ground, and shouted sharply——

"Hey! Speak up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before smearing black ash on his palms, he heard a loud "crash" in the ancestral hall.

All the ancestral tablets in the hall fell down at the same time and scattered on the ground.

broken!

The ancestors were furious!

"Oh!"

Everyone was extremely frightened, and the Immortal Master's disciples quickly shouted to stop.

But he saw Immortal Master Wu Fangzi frowning, and cold sweat started to fall from his forehead.

He panicked when he saw it, it was an act; Master Qiao panicked when he saw it, but it was real.

One after the other, two sets of "supernatural powers" came down, and they firmly controlled the mind of Mr. Qiao.

First, he was given a set of "miraculous powers that are effective" and invited the ancestors of the Qiao family to dispel his suspicions; then he was given a set of "miraculous powers that are not working". If Mr. Qiao has any doubts, he will naturally turn them on himself.

If it doesn’t work, don’t blame the immortal master, only blame yourself!

"Mr. Qiao, your ancestors refuse to speak!" Immortal Master Wu Fangzi asked with a solemn face, "You really don't know what you have done to make your ancestors unhappy?"

"Master Immortal, I...I really don't know!"

The family scandal should not be made public, but Mr. Qiao still had a trace of luck in his heart - what if it had nothing to do with Toyo Benimaru?

"Then there is no other way." Immortal Master Wu Fangzi turned his head and said to his disciple, "You come and open your mouth for the old master."

"what?"

Li Zhengxi screamed, knelt down quickly, and begged in a pitiful voice: "Master Immortal! The righteous spirit cannot possess the body, and the evil spirits cannot possess the body. I will open my mouth for the old man, then, then, then, then! Aren't you going to take away my life!" "

Wu Fangzi replied coldly: "This is the good deed you promised. If you can't complete it, then you are doing the wrong thing with good intentions. On the contrary, it will lay the seeds of disaster and make it difficult to form a fairy relationship in the future."

Li Zhengxi looked at Mr. Qiao, with tears in his eyes and said aggrievedly: "I, I just wanted to help others eliminate evil and ward off disasters, but the result was not good. Instead, I set myself on fire and failed to take care of myself. Immortal Master, Immortal Master, I beg you, think again. Think of other ways!”

Wu Fangzi sighed: "As long as there are other ways, I will not take this step. If you lose Yangshou, doesn't being a teacher also damage your merits? Unless you plan to face death without saving him!"

Second Master Qiao could hear clearly from the side, so he hurriedly crawled forward on his knees.

"Little master, I am the only child of the Qiao family, please help me!"

"I'm helping you, who's going to help me?" Li Zhengxi lamented, "That's ten years of life!"

"Little master, don't worry, I will never treat you badly!" Second Master Qiao quickly turned his head and ordered, "Come quickly, get two thousand yuan from the account and wrap it up for the little master!"

"This, this is not a question of money!"

Li Zhengxi still wanted to fight for it, but was stopped sharply by the immortal master Wu Fangzi.

"If you say any more, I will destroy your Taoism! You guys, get ready quickly!"

Hearing this, the other disciples quickly surrounded Li Zhengxi, took off his Taoist robe, and used incense to purify his body.

Li Zhengxi had no choice but to obey orders.

After such a busy time, the Immortal Master had no idea how to start the ritual again, burning incense, stamping on the ground, drawing talisman, reciting incantations...

At the end, he turned around, pointed his sword at the ancestral hall, swung it with the force, and made a sound that broke through the air and flew straight to Li Zhengxi.

"Hey! The old man obeyed the order and opened his eyes!"

After finishing speaking, he saw Li Zhengxi suddenly startled, as if he had turned into a piece of ice, his limbs stiff and trembling.

A pair of angry eyes covered with red bloodshot eyes looked at nothing else, just like an awl, they were just nailed to Qiao Qimin's face.

Looking at that posture, it seemed like he wanted to eat him alive.

Mr. Qiao was so stunned that he felt panicked and hairy all over his body. Just as he was about to speak tremblingly, Li Zhengxi suddenly let out a "belch", opened his mouth, and spat out a mouthful of blood!

The blood mist flew away and landed on Master Qiao's face.

"Master Immortal, what happened to him?"

"My blood is boiling in my heart, I'm so angry." Immortal Master Wu Fangzi said lightly, "Open your body and mouth and take a look."

As he spoke, the immortal master picked up a stick of incense, muttered words, and moved it around Li Zhengxi's body; he also used a cinnabar pen and touched it lightly on the disciple's lower lip.

Li Zhengxi immediately took steps and walked straight towards Mr. Qiao.

When the servants saw this, they were so frightened that they quickly stood up and retreated. Qiao Qimin was not immune to this and also stood up, looking even more confused and uneasy.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhengxi came closer, without saying a word, raised his hand, looked at Mr. Qiao's face, and gave him a round slap, hitting him so hard that his eyes were covered with blood. The front teeth are loose and the ears are ringing!

How has Mr. Qiao ever been so wronged?

After spinning on the spot, he covered his face and was about to open his mouth, but Li Zhengxi spoke first.

"You bastard! I'm so angry!"
