Nine idlers

Chapter 8 Pulling the soul (this chapter is free)

After Xu Changqing walked down Peach Blossom Mountain slowly, the Patriarch of the Chen family had already sent a butler to guard here. Seeing Xu Changqing coming down, he immediately went up to meet him.After the housekeeper of the Chen family saluted, Xu Changqing raised his hand and interrupted him before he had time to explain his purpose, and said: "I know about Weng Chen, don't talk too much, let's go on our way!"

After speaking, he sat in the bamboo sedan chair prepared by the side, and was carried by the servants of the Chen family and quickly ran towards the Chen family's house in the mountain city.

Chen's house is located on the northeast side of the mountain city. The terrain is low in the east and high in the west. The back room of the house is in the shape of a human with arms spread out to both sides. Wealth Bureau.At the moment, although the front room is not crowded with people, it can be regarded as crowded. All the eminent monks from the north and the south who were invited to participate in the Chenjiachong Water and Land Dharma Assembly gathered here. High altars filled the entire front yard. These eminent monks led Let his disciples use their own methods to summon the souls of the young master Chen and Miss Xie with all their strength.

Four days ago, Chen Tao, the young master of the Chen family, and his fiancée Xie Ling, the miss of the Xie family, had an accident at the same time. One became obsessed all day long, behaved absurdly, and looked like a fool, while the other couldn't sleep, and his body was cold. Other than the faint exhalation, it was hard to see that it was a living person.After the Patriarch of the Chen family asked several other people who went to Peach Blossom Mountain to find out the reason, he personally went to the Yizhuang on Peach Blossom Mountain and asked Xu Changqing what happened. Although he didn't think Xu Changqing did it, he guessed that Xu Changqing must know the reason .It's a pity that Xu Changqing has already retreated, and his mind has sneaked into the realm of Dao Xin to cultivate the universe, and he has no sense of external affairs, and Xu Changqing's bedroom is covered by a magic spell bamboo curtain, so Chen Deshang can only find another way.

Chen Deshang invited some of the most prestigious real monks who participated in the Water and Land Ceremony to check on the situation of Chen Tao and Xie Ling.Although the realm of practice of these eminent monks is not very high, but with the classics accumulated by their Taoist orthodox sects, it can be seen at a glance that one of them has been taken away by someone, and the other has been taken away.They knew very well that practitioners who could take away people's souls without harming their bodies were definitely far more powerful than them, and confronting them head-on would be courting death, but they were reluctant to part with the generous rewards from the Chen family.So after several people combined, they suggested that Chen Deshang gather all the eminent monks and real people who participated in the Water and Land Ceremony this time, build a Daotai Buddha case, and use their own methods to attract souls. He failed and angered the other party, and the other party did not dare to come to retaliate.

This summoning ritual has been done for four days, except for the first day when Chen Tao, who lost his soul, woke up for a while, and it was useless. Although Chen Deshang was anxious, he did not mess himself up, and continued to let others do it. While waiting for Xu Changqing to leave the customs.For Xu Changqing, he has 12 points of confidence, or he has confidence in Xu Changqing's sect. His Chen family can still stand firm in so many years of wind and rain. Good luck avoids bad luck, so in his opinion, as long as Xu Changqing is around, everything can be easily solved.

On this day, Chen Deshang was planning to go to the backyard with his family as before to visit Chen Tao and Xie Ling, but at this moment, Menzi ran in quickly, saying that Xu Changqing had left the customs and was coming this way.Chen Deshang understood that Xu Changqing didn't like excitement, so he immediately ordered the doorman to lead him to the side door, and then led his family to greet him quickly.

"Thank you Mr. Xu for giving up Qingxiu and coming here in person. It's really Chen's fault!" Seeing Xu Changqing get off the sedan chair outside the side door, Chen Deshang quickened his pace, waving and shouting all the way.

Hearing the sound, Xu Changqing saw Chen Deshang leading the people to greet him, stepped forward a few steps, cupped his fists and saluted: "Chen Weng is too polite, my Yizhuang and the Chen family are of one body and two bloodlines, we share weal and woe, since the Chen family has something to do, my Yizhuang is obliged to do so. "

"Hello, Mr. Xu!" The wife, concubine, and some important relatives and friends behind Chen Deshang also followed up and hurriedly saluted Xu Changqing.

"You are very polite!" After Xu Changqing smiled back, he said to Chen Deshang: "Chen Weng, please lead the way. Except for a few parties, everyone else should leave! In addition, people who belong to snakes, roosters, dogs and pigs, and their birthdays Those who are in the third, ninth, seventeenth, and 29th grades all leave the backyard, and the rest are not allowed to approach within thirty feet of Zixuan Pavilion."

"Have you heard what Mr. Xu said? Hurry up and do it!" Chen Deshang roared angrily, then turned to Xu Changqing, and said softly, "Mr. When Xiao En was waiting for the three of them with his head down, he said coldly, "You fools, why don't you come here together!"

"Yes!" Xiao En and the others also looked at each other worriedly, and followed closely behind Chen Deshang.

Chen Deshang has absolute authority in the Chen family, not only because he is the head of the Chen family, but more importantly, because of his way of dealing with the world and method of planning, which makes people feel awe.Needless to say, Chen Yu and Zhang Yuan, one is a daughter and the other is a son-in-law, and they have a natural awe of him.As for Xiao En, whose parents both died when he was young, he has a deep relationship with the young master of the Chen family, Chen Jingguo, and is closer than a brother. Chen Deshang also takes good care of him, not only using the Chen family's business in the UK to help him restore the Werner family He also took back the castle where the Werner family lived for generations, and even spent money to get him a seat in the British House of Lords, which gave him considerable prestige and glory in the British mainland.Therefore, Xiao En is very grateful to Chen Deshang, and regards him as his father even more, so he can't help but have an instinctive awe of being a son of man. Chen Deshang's slightly scolding tone did not make him feel disgusted, but made him feel more cordial.

There are thousands of rooms in Chen's house, and the corridors and corridors are densely packed, like a maze. If you don't live here often, you can easily get lost.On the way, Chen Deshang said apologetically to Xu Changqing: "A few days ago, these little guys went to Yizhuang to disturb Mr. in spite of the ban. I am really sorry! The suffering they have suffered these days is the punishment they deserve. Originally, only my family For the little bastard, it’s okay to let him suffer for a few more days, but there is another little girl who is the daughter of the old man’s best friend. If something happens to me, it’s really hard to explain to the parents! I hope you can Regardless of past suspicions, use your skillful hands to treat them as soon as possible! After this is done, the old man will definitely thank you!"

It is obviously not the first time for Xu Changqing to experience such soft words from Chen Deshang. He smiled slightly and said: "Chen Weng, please rest assured that both of them will be fine with me! In fact, this is also a fate for them. , Young Master Tao and Miss Xie's birthdays are a match made in heaven, and their horoscopes also complement each other, as long as they get through this disaster, the two of them will be married for a hundred years and will be as good as each other!"

"Then Mr. Cheng's auspicious words!" Chen Deshang knew that the orders of Yizhuang's lineage never exaggerated, so he couldn't help but feel happy, and the frown on his forehead was also washed away by the joy.

While talking, several people came to the room where Xie Ling lived. Chen Deshang made a gesture of invitation and led Xu Changqing to push the door in. Xiao En and others were blocked by Xu Changqing and stayed outside.After entering the room, Xu Changqing smelled a calming incense, and then saw a gossip exorcising mirror on the door frame of the inner room. The first thing that came into view when entering the inner room was a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva On one side of the bed where Xie Ling was lying, there were a string of Buddhist beads and a whisk.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Xu Changqing understood half of it in his heart. He guessed that those eminent monks in the front yard must have put their magical artifacts here to calm Xie Ling's soul.Although Xu Changqing disdains the personal cultivation of those people in the front yard, he is very fond of their magic tools. After all, those people come from the orthodox immortal Buddha for thousands of years, and any magic weapon they take out is more than 200 years old Reiki, if those reclusive masters are willing to cultivate and imprint magic circles and Dao symbols on these magic tools, these may be called very good spirit treasures.

Although Xu Changqing covets these instruments, he has no intention of keeping them in his pocket at all. The instruments that have been stored for 200 years have already been connected with the Qi veins of this school's exercises, which makes non-affiliated It is difficult for the disciples to display the power of the magic weapon.If Xu Changqing took these instruments, not only would he not be able to use them, but he would offend those famous orthodox sects. It would be difficult for an outsider like him to compete with those famous orthodox sects even if he united with other close Taoist friends.

Chen Deshang lifted the bed curtain, revealing Xie Ling lying unconscious on the bed, Xu Changqing took a step forward to take a look.Xie Ling's eyes were closed tightly, her lips were purple, her face was pale, and her breathing was extremely weak. Although it was summer and she was covered with a thin blanket, her hair from her forehead to the top door was knotted. Layer of hoarfrost.

Seeing that Xu Changqing had been looking at Xie Ling without any other actions, Chen Deshang asked a little anxiously: "Sir, can you think of a solution?"

"Countermeasures?" Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Chen Deshang who was full of anxiety, he immediately understood, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Chen, I have already thought about countermeasures when I was in Yizhuang, but I saw After Miss Xie, I feel that I have a little high opinion of the person who cast a spell to take away Miss Xie's soul, this time there shouldn't be any danger or difficulty in this fight!"

"It's the best! It's the best!" Chen Deshang heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile on his face.

Xu Changqing didn't wait any longer, and reached out from his sleeve to take out a section of the three thousand Hongchen silk that had been put into his sleeve before, came to the bedside, raised Xie Ling's stiff hands, and slapped the two ends of Hongchen silk on the middle finger of both hands. Taoist Shangyang knot.Then he dabbed some cinnabar on Xie Ling's forehead, and wrote an imperial talisman, and then held the red dust thread between his sword fingers and pulled it to the middle, so that the red dust thread that bound his fingers was even.

"The method of ghosts and demons, the art of sprites, the imperial edict of the Supreme Qing, follow my orders, get up!"

Xu Changqing recited the mantra in a low voice, and then led Hong Chensi back a few steps. Xie Ling, whose body was stiff and with his eyes closed, was pulled by Hong Chensi to sit up. Under Xu Changqing's guidance, he followed him out After leaving the room, Chen Deshang hurriedly found a piece of clothing from the bedside, chased after him and put it on for Xie Ling.

After leaving the room, the three of Xiao En who had been waiting outside saw Xie Ling coming out behind Xu Changqing, they immediately showed joy, and were about to step forward to ask Xie Ling.But the careful Zhang Yuan immediately sensed something was wrong, quickly grabbed Xiao En and Chen Yu, and whispered a few words in their ears, Xiao En and Chen Yu both stared dumbfounded at Hong Chen who was held by Xu Changqing Si and Xie Ling still had tight eyes.

Xu Changqing ignored Xiao En and the others, and said with a very serious face: "Chen Weng, please send someone to bring Master Tao to Zixuan Pavilion, and go to the ashram in the front yard to ask for cinnabar of the ten altars. "As he spoke, he emphasized his tone and reminded: "Remember, it must be the first-class cinnabar that is more than 50 years old and has been mixed with black dog blood!"

"Okay, I'll do it right now, old man!" Chen Deshang responded without a doubt, greeted a few servants who were following far behind, and walked quickly towards the front yard.

After Chen Deshang left, Xu Changqing stared coldly at Xiao En and the others for a while, and then said: "Don't you guys want to watch Chinese magic? I'll let you watch enough today, come with me!"

After finishing speaking, he led Xie Ling and walked towards Zixuan Pavilion at the end of the backyard. Xiao En and the others followed closely behind, not daring to take a step forward.Because of this, they didn't see that after Xu Changqing turned around, the original dignified and tall man immediately turned into a philistine and actuarial businessman, his eyes were full of pride after making a fortune.

In fact, how can Xu Changqing use so much cinnabar, three or four bowls are enough, the reason why he asked Chen Deshang for ten altars of high-quality cinnabar is just for future needs, planning to spend.The reason why the owners of Yizhuang in the past strongly suggested that the Chen family hold a large-scale water and land ceremony, in addition to saving wandering souls and undead to earn merits, the main reason is that they want to take the opportunity to get some money from those famous disciples who don't know that oil and salt are expensive. It is usually difficult to get practice utensils.The owner of Yizhuang has a lot of good things, which are all obtained in this way. Among them, in the disaster caused by the family surnamed Shi, the only three spiritual treasures that survived were obtained from the famous disciples who participated in the water and land ceremony. Bought at the price of garbage.

In fact, based on the relationship between Xu Changqing and Chen Deshang, even if he asks for some high-grade tools and magic tools, Chen Deshang will spare a lot of money and use his relationship to find them for him.But in this way, Xu Changqing will owe the Chen family a favor, and it will also form a cause and effect. The natal skills of the Jiuliu idlers also incorporate a part of the superior Buddhism. Deep, the higher the realm, so Xu Changqing will try to avoid forming causal relationships with others.Right now, the ten altars of high-grade cinnabar are used to cast spells to save Chen Tao and Xie Ling. At that time, you only need to scoop out a small cup from each altar of cinnabar. If you use it, you can not enter into cause and effect.
