Chapter 83: Old Taoist Kong Fang

Let’s talk about Zhang Wang being ordered to ask the old Taoist to catch ghosts. He hired a donkey cart and rushed straight to Laojun Mountain. Laojun Mountain is about twenty miles southwest of Yibin County. Legend has it that Laojun has achieved Taoism and ascends to heaven. Therefore, the incense is strong and the Taoist temples are everywhere. The mountain is high and the road is steep, and the road is difficult. It seems to be to test the pilgrimage of the pilgrimage. Zhang Wang made an appointment with someone to drink flower wine at night, but he was afraid that he would not come back at night. He urged the donkey to go quickly. But the stubborn donkey got whipped a few more times and became angry. He stood at the foot of the mountain and refused to go up the mountain. Helplessly, Zhang Wang had to curse while walking, and walked up the mountain among a group of pilgrims.

Perhaps Laojun also knew that drinking was more important than catching ghosts, so he only let Zhang Wang crawl less than a hundred steps, so he sent an old Taoist who was good at catching ghosts. This old Taoist was short and had a yellowish complexion and a goatee. He was the guide of Li Qingchu's entry into the Tang Dynasty. Taoist Kong Fang was also a Taoist. He hadn't seen him for many years. He didn't seem to have any major changes, but his legs were running a little thinner. In recent years, he traveled around and still pretended to be a god and cheated on some silver rice to talk about his life. Recently, the gold rush in Yibin County began, and he also came to join the fun and temporarily stayed in Laojun Mountain. He was about to go down the mountain to enter the city, but he accidentally found his prey.

Taoist Kong Fang has been through the world for a long time and has refined a pair of golden eyes. He saw Zhang Wang who was anxious and panting a hundred steps away. Seeing that he was dressed as a housekeeper, he didn't hold incense or carry a bag, and his hands were empty, he smiled slightly and took out the guy who was eating from his backpack, half closed his eyes, and stood by the road with his hands behind his back.

With the sound of "ding bell", the soul-summing bell led Zhang Wang's gaze over. Zhang Wang couldn't help but slow down and looked at the Taoist priest up and down. He looked at the clouds. A black Taoist robe had a bit of fairy spirit in the clouds in the mountains, as if it was the passing immortal, recalling the old story of Laojun. But what really interested Zhang Wang was holding a black Three Realms Soul-summing banner in his hand. The top of the banner was a sheep's head and white bones, with golden edges and colorful circles. On the front were two lines of six white characters embroidered, "Who am I, I know." Every word was eye-catching and dazzling, making people feel aftertaste.

Zhang Wang seemed to be frightened by the soul-summoning banner, and he couldn't help but walk forward. He was about to speak, but the Taoist priest reached out to stop him and poured out a fire-red pill from the purple gold gourd. He handed it to him without looking back: "Go! Take this Sanqing Pill, and your evil spirit will be eliminated."

Zhang Wang took it and admired him, "You are a master!" He knew that he had evil spirits on his body, and this evil spirit must have been infected by Lao Yu.

"I dared to ask, I don't know where the famous temple Immortal Chang's Dharma name will become a monk?"

The old Taoist turned around and looked at Zhang Wang lightly and said, "A mortals only know the word "fame and fortune", but fame and fortune are just passing by. I smiled at the white clouds and cage dogs for hundreds of years, and I long forgotten who I am. Perhaps the heaven is my name and the earth is my view."

Zhang Wang's eyes were heard straight, and he suddenly felt the idea of ​​seeking immortality in his heart. He wanted to peel off his vulgar clothes and pants immediately, put on the Taoist robe of the Heavenly Master, and travel with this immortal to the world. However, he suddenly remembered that there was still a flower wine tonight, so let's wait a few days before wearing this Taoist robe!

"Immortal, my mansion is haunted. Just when an expert like Immortal is taking action, I don't know if Immortal is willing to go down to earth."

Kong Fang was really proud of himself, and glanced at Zhang Wang's face again. Seeing that he was so respectful that he seemed to have gone too far. If he had shaken two more immortal auras, he would probably have no courage to speak, but he would have ruined the matter. It would be better to stop when he saw it. Thinking of this, Kong Fang smiled and said, "Go to the earth? Am I not in the mortal world now? Well! After experiencing the eighty difficulties in the world, take off a smelly skin, and you can lead the way."

The curtain was squatting in the corner of the wall and the small stove was blowing lightly. The medicine in the jar was rumbling. While decorating the medicine, she looked at the sky uneasily. The sun was setting. It was almost dusk. Zhang Wang had been there for so long, but why didn't he come back? She looked up at Li Qing who was sleeping in a daze. She began to feel a little anxious. The morning was fine, but why did she become drowsy again?

At this time, the sound of footsteps came from the front yard. The curtain stood up and said to Xiaoyu who was collecting the quilt in the yard: "Xiaoyu, go and see if Zhang Wang is back."

After a while, Xiaoyu ran back and said, "Yes! There is an old Taoist behind him."

Lian'er was overjoyed, threw down his fan and ran out of the door. Sure enough, an old Taoist priest sat in the living room. Seeing Jian'er come in, Kong Fang hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Is the ultimate blessing of life, I have seen Kong Fang have seen his wife."

He was confused about Zhang Wang, which was just a means of starting a business. Once the business was completed, he had to jump out of the clouds, otherwise the boss would be ashamed to talk about money, and even dinner might not be settled. It was a god! Of course, it was a meal of wind and dew, so what else would you have to eat?

He used teaching immortal arts as bait along the way, and had already figured out the situation of the family from Zhang Wang's mouth. He learned that it was a haunted person in the county magistrate's mansion. Seeing that the county magistrate's wife was not old, Kong Fang felt a little contempt in his heart, and then the lion's mouth gradually opened.

Yan'er looked at Taoist Kong Fang and saw that he was short and his eyes were dripping around. The smile on his face showed a bit of hypocrisy. The Taoist robe on his body was glamorous, but it could not hide the smell of his body. He felt a little disappointed.

"The Taoist priest is willing to come to exorcise evil spirits for my mansion. I thank you here. As long as the Taoist priest is really capable of exorcising evil spirits for my master, I will definitely give it a lot!"

"This, I'll talk about this remuneration later. But I was anxious and worried about the county magistrate, so I didn't even have lunch. I don't know if I could do it first."

"I will naturally arrange supper. Why not let the Taoist priest first see if my master is possessed by evil spirits."

Seeing that the other party was anxious, Kong Fang felt even more proud. The price he had just thought of immediately doubled. He laughed and said, "Madam, don't worry, I had carefully observed when I entered the mansion. Your mansion does have evil spirits, and it is the evil in the water. Madam, am I right?"

Lian'er glanced at Zhang Wang, and saw him standing at the door and was restless. He looked outside from time to time, and said to Taoist Kong Fang lightly: "You are right. My master's illness is related to water. Since the Taoist priest has not eaten dinner, there is no need to worry about this time. The Taoist priest went to have supper first before talking about it."

She called Song Mei and ordered her to take Kong Fang Taoist to have dinner first. She came back to Li Qing's room and sat by the bed and looked at him blankly. She reached out to stroke his face, and looked at his face carefully with a deep, gentle and inquiring eyes to make up for his usual fear of not looking closely. His broad face was red, like a clear morning. His eyes were gently closed, showing a happy and happy expression, and the straight and high nose bridge and the angular lips made him look strong and outstanding. At this time, Lian'er felt that he was the most handsome man in the world. Lian'er slowly laid his face on his broad chest and listened to his even and powerful heartbeat.

After a while, she raised her head, straightened her waist, got up and walked towards the kitchen quickly.

It was already dark, the moon was bright, and the earth was filled with silver light. A table had been placed in the courtyard of the inner house. The table was full of incense, candles, talismans and paper. The Taoist Kong Fang, who was full of wine and food, began to drive away evil spirits and catch ghosts. He saw his hair disheveled, and his black Taoist robe looked particularly strange under the moonlight. He danced like a toad, danced the soul-suming banner with his left hand, and gently waved the soul-suming bell with his right hand. The two mung bean eyes emitted a bright blue light, staring at the county magistrate's room, muttering words, and occasionally making a strange cry like a night owl, as if it was on the soul-suming body, but more like expressing inner regret.

He just offered the highest price in his life, thirty cents, but the county magistrate's wife didn't blink and agreed. Taoist Kong Fang was in pain like an ant at this time, as if he had fallen into an evil spirit. If he had known that he would have offered 60 cents, no! One hundred cents.

His movements became more and more crazy and began to deform, like a cramped orangutan. His hat was thrown off, the incense candle on the table was knocked over, and there was only a bare pole left in the soul-suming banner. The banner was picked up by Song Mei's children and put it on the doghouse. Just as Taoist Kong Fang was so regretful that he was almost hit by the wall, he finally woke Li Qing up.

Li Qing opened his eyes in a daze, but reached out to grab the sky. The curtain was not around. He only heard a series of screams like ghosts and howlings from the yard, but it seemed to have heard it somewhere. After thinking about it carefully, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. He could not believe the answer he had thought about. He could no longer care about his weakness, and he shook the quilt, staggered towards the door with barefoot.

Lian'er was standing at the door watching the Taoist performance. As long as there was a glimmer of hope to drive away the evil spirit in Li Qing's body, she didn't care how much it cost. She suddenly felt something. When she turned around, she saw Li Qing standing behind her, staring at the Taoist in the yard with her eyes fixed on her.

"Young Master, why are you barefoot? Hurry up! Go to bed quickly."
