Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 493, Ghost?
The old man was wearing a plain gray overcoat, and he looked like an honest old farmer. His brows looked very gentle, but they were wrinkled together, with a sad expression on his face, as if he had encountered something big.

"Excuse me. Is the priest here?"

"That's all for the poor, what's the point of looking for the poor?" Li Yun came to the old man with a solemn face, but the profound atmosphere was destroyed by the little nine-tailed fox lying on his shoulders.
Looking at the old man with a white beard in front of him, the little fox showed a [I'm curious] expression.

For the old fox in front of him, he just glanced at it and stopped looking at it. After all, there are still many foxes now, and you can buy little fox cubs on Taobao.
Li Yun couldn't help admiring this little Su Li, who was so obedient, witty put away her inherent super charm in front of outsiders, and disguised herself as an ordinary fox.

"My village is haunted by ghosts. Can you help our village do rituals to drive away ghosts? I still have some money here." The old man took out a red plastic bag. Dirty red banknotes, said embarrassedly: "I don't know if the money is enough, it's all collected by everyone in the village, Taoist priest, your Taoist temple should be able to do things."

After reading these banknotes, Li Yun knew why the old man asked him to perform rituals to exorcise ghosts for no reason, because these money would not be able to hire Luofushan's ritual team at all.
Li Yun didn't accept the money immediately, but he didn't refuse either, he just said.

"If you do something to exorcise ghosts, the poor Taoist can do it for you at that time, but before that, you can talk about what kind of situation you have encountered. For different ghosts, there are different rituals and different responses. Way."

"In our village, suddenly one day, the old people began to have inexplicable nightmares at night, including myself. It's really scary. I heard that the evil spirit threatened to start killing people." The old man shuddered , and then said: "We heard that there was an evil spirit sealed in the village before, is it possible that this evil spirit has suddenly come out to cause trouble now? We are afraid that this will happen"

Li Yun can only say that he thinks too much about this. Now there are no evil spirits in the general sense. If any evil spirits are sealed, they will become scum now, not to mention harming people, even scaring them.

However, Li Yun also thinks that there are other possibilities. For example, if you want to scare people, ghosts and ghosts wearing the vest of the Chenghuang Mountain God can do it.

"Can you do something to drive out ghosts? Yes."

When Li Yun agreed, the system also spoke.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for accepting Ye Weiguo's fate."

"Mission Reward: Random Method."

"Mission penalty: none."

Li Yun, Hanxiang, and Baihu came to the old man's agricultural van. The paint surface of the van was already dilapidated, and there was only a little space left for people to sit in. If you squeeze, you can barely sit down, and there is a platform with incense and dragon pattern next to it, which is used for doing things.

Although this station is probably not going to be used.
"I'm sorry, Daoist, we don't have any good cars for you to take." The old man's tone was apologetic, but at the same time he was quite happy that someone was able to go to the village to perform rituals to exorcise ghosts.

Li Yun didn't speak, while Hanxiang looked out the window indifferently, it was quite strange to ride a car for the first time, and at the same time commented that the piles of vegetables behind the van were of poor quality
Su Li sneaked out, wanting to take a bite of the vegetable, but Li Yun directly refused.
"Oh, because of this ghost, the old people in our village can't sleep because of the trouble. People are panicked, and even the young children feel uncomfortable for a while. If this continues, our village will really be destroyed. "Ye Weiguo sighed, with a sad face, and drove the car skillfully, but the car was shaking even on flat roads.

"What do you mean by the evil spirits in this village? Can you describe them to Pindao in detail? For example, what kind of people were the so-called [evil spirits] before they were alive." Li Yun asked.

"I'm not too sure about the details. My elders told me about it when I was a child." Ye Weiguo hesitated for a while, but couldn't explain why.

Li Yun knew that he couldn't ask any questions, so he closed his eyes and rested his mind. The car drove for a long time, winding and winding, taking the national road and the village road.

pat-

After walking for a while, the car started to get steeper, shaking after shaking. The shock absorption of this van is not good. Li Yun felt that if it was an ordinary person, it might be thrown out here, but Ye Weiguo did not have any abnormalities. I'm used to this rotten path.

Li Yun felt that this road was much worse than the impoverished mountainous areas he had seen before.
"Have you never repaired this road?"

"Oh, no one repairs it. It's the same in this big mountain village. Young people go out to work, and the urban area can't control the bumps. We can't help it." Ye Weiguo sighed for a while, he was used to this road, and he couldn't help it. Try to drive the car to a place where there are not so many rocks and mud.

After driving on this road for nearly an hour, I finally came to this village. The road in the village is quite wide, and at least two cars can walk side by side. However, the surrounding buildings are horrible, old and dilapidated, which is the most dilapidated village in Xiangtou Village. The people here are much better than here.

At the same time, there were one or two youths passing by, with colorful dyed hair, the hair stood taller than the head, the cheap hair quality caused by cheap hair dyes, gathered in groups to discuss how to deal with it. Go home and ask for money to play, or gather in a corner to gamble.

And the people who work in the fields are sporadic. It's not that the people here are lazy, but that there are only so many lands here, surrounded by mountains and forests, but they have no development value and are not beautiful.

Li Yun's impression of this place can only be described as poor mountains and bad waters, and the geographical environment is too bad.

Ye Weiguo was also silent for a while on the next road. He drove the van and came to an earthen house, which was Ye Weiguo's home.

After getting off the car, Li Yun also took a cursory stroll here.

This village is a little different from the villages Li Yun has been to before. Other villages may be poor, maybe lifeless, maybe poor, maybe vibrant, and they have never been as messy as this village.

Barren land, lazy atmosphere, young people are playing cards and gambling. Of course, this may also be related to the season. Near the end of the year, there are no important people in the factory, and some young people who went out to work have returned to the village.

"This kind of messy atmosphere is not a good thing for the village." Li Yun shook his head silently, looking at the village, and vaguely saw a few old people on the way, none of them even smiled at all, as if Has been tortured badly by something.

Go back to Ye Weiguo's soil embryo room.

Ye Weiguo took out the pastry for entertaining from the kitchen, saying that the pastry is actually just a simple fish cake, which is the best thing that can be used for entertaining in Ye Weiguo's country.

At this time, only Ye Weiguo and his wife were here in Ye Weiguo's family. His wife's attitude towards Li Yun was lukewarm, and he didn't mean to say anything. He just nodded slightly and went to do his own work. The son went away, silent, but the slender eyes with slightly hanging eyebrows never left Li Yun's body.

Su Li poked out her small head from Li Yun's arms, smelled the fish cake with her nose, she was not interested, she continued to crawl back, enjoying the warm 'quilt'.

"Master Xiaodao, don't take it for granted that our place is simple, we only have these things." Ye Weiguo sighed softly, and said, "The haunted place in our village is in the forest. Look... pick a good time to do it. It also makes everyone feel at ease, as you can see how the old people in our village have been tortured by these things."

"Well, old man, you should take Pindao to have a look first. The people who are infested by ghosts are not the ones who just saw suspicious ghosts, but the real ones who have been clearly harassed." Li Yun said, also At least to see if it is really caused by the infestation of ghosts.

Ye Weiguo didn't refuse either, and went out with Li Yun and Hanxiang, wandering in and out of this small village, the barren land, the leisurely people are no surprise.

These people with colorful hair saw nothing wrong with Li Yun, but when they saw Han Xiang, they suddenly became angry, and an evil impulse surged into their hearts. They grinned evilly at the corners of their mouths, geared up and continued to play cards, ignoring Han Xiang. fragrant.

Li Yun would not say that quietly gave Hanxiang an invisibility technique, her presence is almost zero, no matter how beautiful she is, no one will notice her.
Well, this is done to prevent unnecessary trouble, there is nothing wrong with that reason.

After looking for reasons for a while, Li Yun saw an old woman with disheveled hair at the entrance of the village, chanting a local dialect that Li Yun could not understand, her clothes were torn, and her hand with a cane was still shaking.

"Hey, she is one of the old people who was scared crazy by the ghost. It's so pitiful. She was such a good person before, but now she has become like this. It's all caused by the ghost." Ye Weiguo wiped his face. Tears, sighs.

Li Yun approached the old woman. He couldn't understand the spoken dialect, but he could feel the emotions in it. It was fear, fear, and fear. It really looked like he was frightened crazy.

At this time, a middle-aged woman came out of the house, looked at Li Yun suspiciously, but ignored him, and then helped the old woman into the door impatiently.

"It's time to eat, don't be ashamed to stand outside."

The old woman was supported by a middle-aged woman, still muttering in a daze.
Li Yun stared at the old woman for a while, shook his head, and did not continue to pay attention.

"Hmm, is this the old man who was driven mad by [ghosts]?"

In the dilapidated rural soil embryo house, the furniture was messy and dusty, and in front of the old woman, there was only a bowl of terribly thin porridge and some vegetables in front of her eyes.

"Ghosts and ghosts are here." The old woman murmured to herself and stood there in a daze, her eyes were full of fear and dullness, her hair was trembling, and the corners of her mouth were drooling.

The old woman's son and daughter-in-law sighed when they saw the old woman become like this, especially the old woman's daughter-in-law said impatiently.

"Do you think this old woman is annoying? How long will we take care of her like this? The family doesn't have much money. What did I do to join your Qian family? I thought your surname was Qian, but this time I don’t have any money, and I still have to pay this dead old woman to save up all the money, and I don’t have a penny.” The middle-aged woman kept complaining, and the middle-aged man next to her could only accept his wife cowardly. reprimanded.

"Keep this is our mother after all, so we can't ignore it. If we ignore it, people in the village will think of us." Qian Zuanqi was also distressed for a while, looking at the poor savings in the passbook, he shouted: "How should I say, Do we want to be invisible."

At this time, the middle-aged woman next to him patted Qian Zuanqi's head and cursed.
"I'm just talking about it. Don't take it seriously. I don't care about it when something happens. You really plan to throw me away. It's a shame that I followed you back then."

"I don't want to, but this year's income is too low, the land harvest is poor, and the factory has laid off workers and my son has no job. How can there be so much income to take care of my wife?" Qian Zanqi muttered: "We also want live, right..."

"If you can't take care of it, you have to take care of it. I don't want to be gossiped. At least give her something to eat. An extra bite is nothing." The middle-aged woman saved all her money for nothing.

When the old woman next to her heard Qian Zanqi say "survive", she suddenly danced with excitement.

"To live, to live, to live. To live!"

"Why is this old woman crazy? This dementia is serious again. Really, it used to be the same now." The middle-aged woman moved away from the old woman, and said: "Could it be that she is really possessed by evil spirits? I saw the old Yetou just now. My family invited a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts. I don’t know if this Taoist priest is reliable or not. He looks quite young, so the ghosts will know if it’s useful.”

Qian Zanqi shrugged indifferently and said, "It's not us who paid for it anyway, does it matter if he has any real skills?"

"I'm home."

At this time, the door was violently thrown open, and a yellow-haired young man walked in from the door. While smoking a cigarette, he walked around impatiently, made a phone call, and cursed twice into the phone from time to time.

Qian Zanqi and his wife also knew that their son had failed to find a job again, so they could only silently shake their heads and sigh.

"If this continues, our family will not starve to death."

The old woman could only silently watch this scene happen, and continued to murmur words of unknown meaning.

"To starve. To live. To live. To live."
