Chapter 171: Burning incense to invite God, reversing the situation and returning life
Seeing two sick little girls, Xu Yuan investigated for a while. With his rich knowledge of Shinto, he recognized that the two twin girls were poisoned by incense, and they were actually cast into evil spirits and "borrowed" their longevity. .

The faint rotten smell emanating from his body came from the old man who had borrowed his longevity.

"It's so vicious. Extending your life is unreasonable."

An angry look appeared in Xu Yuanchang's eyes, causing the worried woman and the thin dark man to exit the tree pavilion inside the mountain gate.

Yu Fengwu happened to have seen the symptoms of the "life-borrowing technique".

She knew that following the strange smell, she could quickly find the source of the "creditor", and asking Xue Li to follow her was to rely on Xue Li's ability to find smells. If she had to find it by herself, it would probably take a lot of time, so she asked:
"Don't you need me to make a trip?"

"I'll first cast a spell to slow down their passing lifespan and put them into a deep sleep."

Xu Yuanchang sent a message: "Please, please seize the 'borrower' and the criminal who cast evil spells, as well as the 'life-borrowing paper man' or 'life-borrowing scarecrow' props. I will try to capture the two little girls." The lifespan I lost will be as much as I can get back if I trace it back to its origins, let’s do everything we do and let fate dictate.”

At present, he is not capable enough and dare not interrupt the evil method, otherwise the two little girls will lose their borrowed longevity forever.

The situation is so critical that no delay is allowed and an expert is called in to come to the rescue.

The casting went smoothly.

It was hazy, and the surrounding area was filled with a mysterious and eerie atmosphere.

After reading and waiting silently for about a quarter of an hour, Liu Xianfeng suddenly said: "I'm back."

The woman clutched her man tightly, and the man, whose face turned red with anger, wanted to rush over and slap the old woman in the face.

They listened to the conversation between Xu Daochang and the two fairies and guessed that the culprit who almost killed their two girls was the old immortal in front of them.

Relatively speaking, breaking spells is much easier than casting them.

The wafting fragrant mist filled the air, magically wrapping around the entire tree pavilion that was leaking air from all sides.

After becoming familiar with the basic use of the God-inviting Platform, Xu Yuanchang cast ordinary Shinto spells with a very high success rate.

Yu Fengwu used her magic power to wrap up an old woman with white hair and a rosy face, and landed in front of the tree pavilion behind the mountain gate from the air. The old woman was wearing brand new black clothes, her eyes were closed and she fell into a coma.

There are more and more doubts that remain unanswered, but unfortunately he doesn't know where to go to find the mysterious Taoist Master Yanshan to solve his doubts. One fateful thing tests his character too much.

Xu Yuanchang asked Liu Xianfeng to explain to the excited and awed couple outside that the ugly story was ahead.

He doesn't need to burn incense to pay respect to any god, but to ask the shrine to borrow the divine power from the underworld.

Yu Fengwu didn't waste any time. She grabbed the snow particles that she had smelled and said "let's go". She flashed like a sword and went into the air. The brilliance flashed again and she was far away. The speed of her swordsmanship was fully revealed.

The woman outside the mountain gate recognized the old woman captured by Yu Fengwu and shouted in surprise: "Grandma Yan... why is it her? She has scared our baby before."

He took out the "Dong Shen Fu Hua Sutra" from his storage bag, turned to the chapter on "The Art of Extending Life", and quickly browsed through the details.
There are many Shinto longevity methods, and there are also various ways to break them.

Xu Yuanchang looked to the west, and a black spot suddenly appeared in the sky.

I believe that Taoist Master Yanshan will appear in front of us one day.

Estimating the time, Yu Fengwu had almost arrived at Dongxi Village, which was thirty miles away.

Xu Yuanchang inserted the yellow incense into the ground due south, and looked at the two little girls sleeping in the pavilion through the incense mist. The abnormal red color on their faces, as if they had a high fever, gradually faded away.

Xu Yuanchang put away the book, took out three sticks of yellow incense, shook it slightly, used magic power to light the incense, silently recited the incantation in his mouth, held the incense and performed the ritual, and walked slowly in circles along the tree pavilion with steel steps under his feet.

The azure mist lingering in the consciousness space caused a slight tremor in response.

Yu Fengwu let the old woman float upright a few feet above the ground, and then took out a "wooden figure" with cinnabar ink on it, and the name "Wen Yan Niang" written on the front. It says "Cui Xiu Shui" and "Cui Xiu Xi", as well as the birth date.

"Didn't you catch the person who cast the spell?"

"This Granny Yan used to be a goddess in Dongxi Village. She quit being a goddess many years ago. Her family is quite wealthy. Now she has many children and grandchildren. I asked her using magic. She personally cast the magic to extend her life. She wants to live for a few more decades. .”

Yu Fengwu gave the answer, which surprised Xu Yuanchang.

I really didn’t expect that an old goddess like an ordinary person would dare to cast a spell on herself to extend her life, and she almost succeeded.

If you act boldly, you are not afraid of bringing disaster to your descendants, such as the loss of descendants.

Xu Yuanchang asked the couple who were looking outside the mountain gate to stay away and not to disturb his spellcasting behind him.

However, before casting the spell, he asked Yu Fengwu to wake up the old woman first. He gently waved his palm in front of the old woman who had just opened her eyes, performed a small spell of enchantment, and carefully asked the old woman, who was full of vitality and had not yet taken root, for details.

After spending more than a quarter of an hour to understand what he needed to know, Xu Yuan let the old woman continue to sleep with a finger.

The old woman was able to know the birth dates of many children in Dongxi Village.

Choosing two girls, Cui Xiu Shui and Cui Xiu Xi, who were just over seven years old, to start with was because the horoscopes were a suitable match and met the conditions of the life-extending technique in ancient books. The old woman could not wait any longer because she felt that her body and bones were getting worse every year.

Want to take the plunge and give it a try. The old woman coaxed the two ignorant little girls with candies, burned incense and kowtowed in front of the wooden figure on which she cast spells.

For nearly half a month, the old woman lay in bed. Except for two meals a day, which were delivered to the bedroom by her designated great-granddaughter, no one was allowed to visit her at other times. The excuse was that she wanted to "ask the gods to bless the prosperity of the family" and could not be disturbed. Crash.

The old woman is not a monk, and she has been casting spells intermittently for such a long time.

Xu Yuanchang figured out the contents and taboos of the other party's spells, and turned the "Life-Extending Wooden Figure" upside down in the pavilion.

Burn incense to pray to God, and reverse the situation to restore life.

He did it step by step without making any mistakes along the way.

Half an hour later, the old woman with a yellow and charred complexion was already dying. She was really unconscious now and her life was not long.

The two girls in the pavilion regained their vitality, with pus blisters and scabs on their bodies, leaving a few scars.

Xu Yuanchang stopped casting spells and extinguished the incense that had been lit for the third time.

After receiving the summons from Yu Fengwu, He Shutang and Yan Yuhan, who had arrived a long time ago, wrapped the dying old woman in magic and took her away. They would contact the Baiji Division on how to proceed with the trial and conclusion of the case.

Yu Fengwu was not interested in what happened next.

I thought it was a far-reaching plot involving a large number of monk cases.

It was a rare occasion for her to investigate a case, but the result turned out to be an anticlimax, no raindrops despite the thunder, and it was just an incident caused by a mortal goddess, which made her dumbfounded.

Xu Yuanchang asked the two little girls who woke up to chew a bitter tamarisk leaf to get rid of the remaining poison.

With the couple's great gratitude, they accepted a few taels of scattered silver and gave them a red willow branch, asking them to push the cart back quickly. They might be able to get home before dark. How could they argue with that family for compensation? He Shutang Will take care of one or two.

Returning to the pavilion in the middle of the mountain, Xu Yuanchang took out the silver and gave half of it to Yu Fengwu. He said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper Yu. Please accept this reward."

Give all the rest to Liu Xianfeng who paid two leaves.

Yu Fengwu looked at the two pieces of broken silver covered with tooth marks and bite marks, but she did not shirk her disdain. Handling them was considered a merit, and said with a smile: "You should be a medical monk who saves lives and heals the wounded."

"No, everyone in the world is suffering. I don't have the 'parental heart' of a doctor. I'd rather be a Taoist and be comfortable, do whatever I want and practice myself."

"I see that you seem to be very happy to help mortals in distress. What else is it if you don't have a 'parent's heart'?"

"No, I just respect life, regardless of ordinary monks or experts. When encountering a situation, I will take action within the scope of my ability. If it is beyond my ability, or I will put myself in a dangerous situation, I will follow the 'inaction' and leave. This is the 'Tao' I follow."

Xu Yuanchang said frankly.

It was based on this consideration that he initially helped Taoist Yanshan who was in a difficult situation.

They became friends with Yu Fengwu, and Yu Fengwu didn't have the habit of being superior to others like the disciples of the aristocratic family.

He is willing to reveal his true feelings and provide a reference for Yu Fengwu who is looking for his true self.

Although his cultivation was low, he was a bystander and could tell early on that Yu Fengwu followed him to learn cooking, farming, carrying water barefoot, and was busy looking for something.

Yu Fengwu understood. The words "respect life" were very novel. This could explain why Xu Yuanchang seemed to be a good person, but in his heart he was a true Taoist priest who upheld the Taoism.

If there is no hypocrisy or contradiction, then there will be no distractions and no fetters.

You can immerse yourself in whatever you do, thus conforming to the Taoist meaning of "returning to nature".

She had done some things in the past, and she was tangled and upset in her heart because it was not from her original intention. Over time, over time, she unknowingly fell into a dangerous situation that was contrary to her wishes, and almost suffered a mental breakdown.

As a non-human being, Liu Xianfeng was not interested in a topic that was like a riddle between two humans.

She couldn't learn to respect life. She still believed in the demon clan in her bones. However, following the young master's actions, she was influenced and influenced. She looked left and right and asked:

"Sister Yu, didn't you bring the snow grains back?"

"Xueli hasn't come back yet?"

Yu Fengwu was surprised and said: "That idiot, I will let him stay in Dongxi Village for a while, and then he can come back when the government monks arrive. After such a long time, it should crawl back."

Just as he was talking, he saw a translucent insect flying crookedly in the distance.

The three looked at each other and smiled.

They had previously forgotten the existence of snow particles.
