Chapter 31 Eventful (Part 1)

Xu Xian asked back: "Manager Li, why don't you look for your cousin?"

"Brother Xu, only one hundred taels of silver..." Li Zhong said embarrassedly.

One hundred taels of silver are not a small amount for ordinary families, but this hundred taels of silver is not a single person's income. Li Zhong and the other six must have a share of it. Only forty or fifty taels of silver can be obtained by his cousin. As Lin Lingsu's personal disciples, he may not be cared about.

Even if you take it to heart, this matter is also very troublesome. Compared with Cai Jing, the secretary-general can only be regarded as a small official, but compared with other Beijing officials in the capital, he is also a medium-sized official. He is still a civil servant, although he is small but expensive.

The so-called haunted people among the people are mostly spreading rumors or scaring people, but they cannot be said to be none. There are also methods of catching ghosts, which are true and false. However, it is probably not fake to be able to cause trouble in Cao's mansion, and it will inevitably cause headaches when dealing with it. His cousin will feel that it is not worth it.

So these people found themselves.

Li Zhong said again: "Brother Xu, if the matter is done, you will get 40 taels, and we will get 60 taels."

It's very fair. They have sixty taels, and each person has only ten taels.

However, Xu Xian said: "Don't go."

The Xu family was also short of money and prepared a lot of money after fleeing to Liangshan. However, since the jade was taken away, the third uncle had to go out often to buy some precious medicines to save his mother's life. The money brought by these gradually decreased. And this time, he escaped from Liangshan, hundreds of acres of fertile land, houses, and things at home had to be left behind because of the hasty escape. The loss was also considerable.

As for Xu Xian, he brought more than thirty taels of gold, gave more than ten taels of gold to Liu Ruyue, and spent more than nine taels of gold to buy a sword. He spent some money along the way. Now he only had less than ten taels of gold on him.

But this forty taels of silver does not work for the Xu family. Often, a more expensive herb is taken away and given to yourself, and you will not short of money for the time being.

Moreover, he has specialized in art and knows a few Taoist techniques, but his professionalism is not right.

To destroy ghosts, Gongsun Sheng's Five Thunders Dharma, Chen Xizhen's Five Thunders Duluo Dafa, especially Lin Lingsu, came to the temple and heard a rumor that he had traveled to Sichuan to meet Zhao Sheng. One day, Zhao Sheng returned, Lin Lingsu bathed and buried him, and obtained three volumes of "Shenxiao Temple of Heaven Jade Book" left by Zhao Sheng. There are also the words "Shenxiao Temple of Heaven" in it. It also says the magic tricks of the transformation of gods and immortals, the talismans of the clouds and rain, and the devils were sent to drive away ghosts and all spirits. After Lin Lingsu got this heavenly book, he suddenly realized the truth, observed ghosts and gods, recited mantras, sang talismans, slaughtered thunder and lightning, chased evil spirits, cured diseases and relieved suffering, and often had immediate results, and drove away plagues and evil spirits. There was nothing wrong with it.

Xu Xian didn't know whether it was true or false. He said it was false. Lin Lingsu was very similar to his own experience. If Ling Xuzi didn't explain it, he would definitely not know the tadpole ancient texts, and they were no different from the Heavenly Book.

If you want to believe that with such supernatural powers, how come you don’t even have money to eat wine?

I can't figure it out, but Lin Lingsu probably has more ways to deal with filth.

There are more and more ways to deal with ghosts, but Xu Xian doesn’t know any of them and there is little money, so why bother with this fishy smell?

Li Zhong suddenly leaned down and said, "Brother Xu, we have accepted Mr. Cao's money, you must help us."

"I don't want to help you, it's not my strength to deal with monsters and monsters. I'm the strength of this..." As he said that, he beat a magic trick. A withered vine under the corner of the house suddenly came to life and tied up Li Zhong in a flash.

Xu Xian spread his hands and said, "Manager Li, look, it's okay to tie ordinary people, but how can I tie ghosts?"

"Brother Xu, you must help me, otherwise we will take Mr. Cui's money and don't do anything, so we will have to sue."

I didn't say the rest. Even if I made a mistake and fled to Shenxiao Temple, it depends on what happened and who committed the crime. If it was a commoner, the problem would not matter. If I really became Lin Lingsu's personal disciple, the problem would not matter.

They are just disciples of Shenxiao Temple who take money from the eldest son of Cao Fu's family and don't do anything, that is to cheat. Even Cao Fu is just a place to look up to them!

"Your Majesty Cao found you. You thought there were many talented people in the world, so you took it. But I didn't expect that the money was low, the capable people were unwilling to go, and the disabled people could not take it. And he was an official of the court. You looked for it, but in the end, you found me."

"Not right, we have prepared a lot," Zhang Hai took out many things with a smile.

But Xu Xian almost cried when he saw it.

A few items were taken out from it, including a small jar of blood. I don’t know if it was the legendary black dog blood, and a woman’s menstrual belt with blood on it. At first, Xu Xian didn’t know and was still looking at it. In the end, it was too late to throw it away. There were also a few diapers with yellow stains on it, including boy urine, and other messy things.

He couldn't stand it anymore and said, "If it were that simple, he was an official, wouldn't he have prepared early?"

"We still have it," Zhang Hai took out another bag of treasures.

This time it was a serious matter, but Xu Xian was amused and cried again, saying: "Tactics and magic weapons are good. If there is a good TAXIC magic weapons and elixir array, it can increase its cultivation and assist in combat. But do you know how rare these are?"

"I remember that there was a wealthy family more than ten miles away from my hometown. It was said that his family was haunted and invited several monks to exorcise evil spirits. That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the scenery was very gloomy. There was still strange noises coming from the underground of his house, and there was another yin fire. Several monks did not work, but they scared them away together. After a long time, the concubines of this family had a gangster who had stolen affair with someone, and the truth was discovered. It turned out that his owner, old man, took a beautiful concubine back. The concubine was unwilling to be lonely. There was a man next door who was pretty and had a secret relationship with each other. It was inconvenient that the beautiful man dug a tunnel underground. This was the origin of the sound, and he was dug up a place where the dead were buried, which stirred up the yin fire. This was the truth about haunting, not haunting, but human trouble."

Xu Xian grabbed several magical instruments consecrated by temples and said, "It's in the countryside, it takes dozens of taels of silver to do a ritual, not to mention this expensive capital city. You are willing to spend money to buy magical instruments consecrated by monks. Whether it is useful to you can afford? Also, you are from the Shenxiao Palace, but you go to the Buddhist family, and don't know what the impact will be if you spread it out? Besides, I don't deny the function of these talismans. Talismans are not only used to exorcise ghosts, but also used to fight, but there are too few such talismans. I don't know how many people can make real talismans in the entire Shenxiao Temple, and I don't think there will be many. Can you ask for it? Your cousin can recommend you to the temple to do business. If a few talismans can solve the problem, why can't he accompany you?"

Yes, in the practice of Taoism, talismans, magic arrays, elixirs, and magic tools are all very important, but not many people really understand it, and it cannot be said that there is no. Yes, for example, Xu Xian knows magic arrays. But in the past two months, although he has been in the medicine garden, he has heard and seen a lot.

Lin Lingsu received 20,000 disciples. Even if the Shenxiao Palace was magnificent and huge, it would not be possible to stay in the temple. However, there were thousands of disciples in the temple. Who among these disciples were? Some came to make a fortune, some went to avoid the government's accountability for the matter, and some used Lin Lingsu's influence to seek political status. In addition, some people pretended to be Lin Lingsu's name and pretended to be a god and cheated people of money.

They can also "spells", and they are incredibly magical. In fact, it is not spells, but illusions.

In short, thousands of people in the entire Taoist temple have almost become a place to hide dirt and dirt.

Even if someone has the ability, it is not easy to find it, let alone what Li Zhong and the others can find it.

"I can't help you."

"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, Lord Cao is a good official," Li Zhong was anxious.

"He is a good official, what does it have to do with me?"

Xu Xian is not like Yue Fei. He has a view of family and country and right and wrong. Not to mention the good or bad of officials, even if the Song Dynasty is destroyed, he will most likely gloat about the misfortune. And he himself does not want to deal with officials.

Li Zhong and the other six were anxious and surrounded him. Xu Xian had no choice but to have an idea and said, "I want me to help you, even if I don't want this money, but Manager Li, you must do something for me."

"Brother Xu, please give me instructions."

"I have a relative who is sick and needs a kind of pill to treat it. I heard that Immortal Lin can refine this pill."

"We don't have that much face..."

"I know, your cousin may not be able to get it, but I just want you to let your cousin listen to the news about this kind of pill."

"This is OK."

"Also, I'll make it clear first. I really don't know much about catching ghosts. I can't guarantee whether it can be done."

"This is OK." Li Zhong agreed immediately, at least Xu Xian went there, which could ensure safety. In fact, this is also a kind of mentality. If Xu Xian had no idea about it a few months ago, he refused. As his kung fu improved, he gradually gained some confidence. At the same time, he was also curious about the so-called ghosts.

The snow kept falling.

The capital is snow-white, but the vast snow cannot cover up the prosperity of the capital, and the streets are full of traffic.

However, the Cui family is a bit off. They headed westward through the Goryeo Tongwenguan, Liangmen, Caijing House, which covers a few yards of land, Zhouxiwazi, Jinliangqiao Street, Beixiangkou, Wengshizi Prison, and West Street. When they arrive here, there are still no people. The entire capital is full of houses. Not only in the city, but also outside the city, there are many families lined up one after another. But when they arrive here, they are mostly slums and few shops. When it comes to this snowy day, there are even fewer pedestrians on the street.

As dusk approaches, the low and dense houses are covered with snow, and it is very quiet around. The night is coming, and there is already a strange atmosphere...
