629. Exorcism and warding off evil spirits(1/2)
The flames burned the firewood.
What is thrown into the fire pit is ordinary dry wood that needs to be split before burning.
The person who chopped the wood was a thin black man. He lowered his head and pressed the wood and chopped it. Wang Qilin looked at it and was secretly shocked: The young man is so thin. He was wearing a short jacket, and his exposed arms were like dry firewood on the ground.
He was very worried that the young man would break his arm by slashing.
But the young man is very strong and fierce.
He gritted his teeth and cut the firewood dry, his muscles on his face were tense, and sometimes he would twitch when he exerted too much force.
In this way, even if Wang Qilin could not look directly at him, he could still feel his hideous appearance through his side face.
After splitting a piece of wood, he split it up and then picked it up and threw it into the fire pit.
Another piece of wood split and he was about to throw it away when the old man suddenly reached out and stopped it: "Wait, there is something!"
Wang Qilin silently held the handle of the knife.
The old man took the wood and picked out a few bugs from it. The bugs were white and fat, and he held them in front of him to look carefully.
Xu Da asked in a horror, "Master, aren't you planning to eat them?"
The old man smiled and said, "This is not a bamboo worm, it is a maggot, how can it be eaten? This thing cannot be eaten, it has other functions!"
As he said that, the old man took off his shoes and put the maggots into the shoes. He closed his hands and worshiped the shoes, muttering something in his mouth.
The other three, including the young man who chopped wood, put down their work and worshiped them one after another.
It was raining outside the house, the fires swayed inside the house, the sound of worship was murmuring, the light and shadow intersected, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.
The worship ended soon, and the old man picked up his shoes and bent over to deliver them to the door, and then bowed back.
Xu Da asked, "Uncle, what are you doing?"
The old man glanced at him quickly and said softly: "Don't you think this village is weird?"
Wang Qilin and Xu Da nodded.
The old man said, "We also feel that this village is very strange. I'm afraid there are ghosts and evil spirits inside, so the old man just used a magic spell from you Han people to exorcise evil!"
He pointed to the shoes and said, "Look, we happened to have a maggot just now. The old man put the maggots into the shoes. What's this called?"
Xu Da said blankly: "Maggots and shoes, can they fight poison with poison?"
The old man said, "No..."
"Uh, is this the legendary Gu cultivation?" Xu Da asked again.
The old man was depressed and said, "It was a spell sent by you Han people. It used the borrowing of characters. I would like to remind you, one maggot and one shoe..."
Wang Qilin subconsciously said: "Maggots, shoes - to exorcise evil spirits?"
The old man nodded solemnly.
Xu Da looked at Wang Qilin, and Wang Qilin was puzzled. Do we have such magic in the Han family?
Seeing this, Xu Da thought about it for a while and said, "Then the uncle also has a technique to exorcise evil spirits."
Wang Qilin looked at him in horror.
A bad thought slowly rose in his heart...
Xu Da took off his shoes and walked towards the wall, hung his shoes on the wall, and said, "Look, what is this? The stone wall! What is the name of hanging the shoes on it?"
"Shoes! Evil-proof!"
Wang Qilin took off his shoes and threw them at him: I believe you, shoes!
The old man and the four of them believed it, and they said confidently: "That's good, the two magics of exorcism must be no evil spirits to come in!"
Xu Da walked back happily, and Wang Qilin hurriedly held his breath and calmed down.
Eight cats and ninety-six fled in a panic, one pierced his head into his arms, and the other crawled into his arms directly.
After Xu Da came back, he put his feet on the fire pit and roasted them.
The house almost exploded.
The old man and the other three hurriedly covered their noses with their sleeves. The young man with his head stuffed to chop firewood took a deep breath and was about to put out the axe, but he didn't breathe and quickly sat down with his nose pinched.
But they did not dislike Xu Da, but just silently endured the scent of this amazing smell.
The white-faced man rubbed for a while and exclaimed: "Big brother, what are you doing? Your lotus fragrance - strong enough!"
Xu Da said proudly: "The uncle is a traveling businessman. There is no way. The business depends on one pair of feet. Therefore, if you walk too much, you will inevitably sweat a lot. If you sweat too much, you will inevitably feel a lot. Please take it more."
"It's okay, it's okay." The old man waved his hand. When he moved his sleeves away, he felt that the smell was wrong, so he quickly covered his mouth again, "What are you doing in the next life?"
Wang Qilin said: "Everything business can be done. As long as we can make money without beheading, we will do it!"
"What about killing pigs?" The black and thin young man suddenly asked urgently, "Can you kill pigs? Pig, I can give you some pork, give you some..."
"Bang, bang, bang!" The sound of footsteps sounded upstairs, and the young woman who had appeared before appeared again. This time she put on her clothes, but the clothes were wet and stuck to her, so Xu Da sat down.
Wang Qilin looked at her face and then left no interest.
He is not pretty, but his long legs just now had extra points.
After the young woman got down, she sat next to the white-faced man. She smiled softly and asked, "Where did the two guys come from? It doesn't look like they often run to the opposite area of Menshan, with a raw face."
Xu Dayou turned his head and looked out the window with heavy rain, saying, "Thirty years ago, merchants sang and danced like a shuttle. The rivers and lakes have been wandering for many years, but only the green mountains are like old ones."
Wang Qilin also looked up at the roof leisurely: "The sky is made of quilts and the ground is used as a bed, and he walks around with a bunch. Life is a rootless grass, so why ask your hometown when you meet?"
Four men and one woman were stunned after hearing the words of the two. They stared at them with wide eyes and finally exclaimed:
"The two are afraid that they are not traveling businessmen, but scholars who travel the world."
"This poem is so good, especially this handsome guy. Oh, you must be a man from the martial arts world. Your poem is so good."
"I'm not respectful, I'm always a cultural person."
"Then will you kill pigs?"
The last sentence was asked by the thin and black man, and his expression was as urgent as ever.
Wang Qilin looked at him strangely and said, "Who can't kill pigs? Why do you always ask this?"
"Don't worry about him. He raised a pig and wanted to eat pork, but he couldn't bear to do it himself, so he met an outsider and asked if he knew how to kill pigs." The young woman said with a smile.
She asked again: "I heard you say upstairs that you two are traveling merchants, so why don't you see your burden?"
Wang Qilin shook his head and said, "Our business has been completed. This time, he passed by Guibaodi and actually walked a business road left by a friend. Our friend disappeared when he walked this road..."
"Boom!" The crazy rolling thunder sounded, and the heavy rain became a little heavier.
Wang Qilin looked out the window, as if the color was already pitch black today, it was very scary, just like the dark night, the rain was even more terrifying, just like a lake in the sky that had broken the bottom, and the rain was watering downwards!
Someone sat next to him.
With a faint fragrance.
Wang Qilin didn't have to look back and knew that it was the young woman who sat down.
After sitting over, the young woman looked at Jiuliu in his arms and asked, "Brother, do you have a dog? Do you like dogs, right?"
Wang Qilin knew that these people had problems, but they were not normal people anyway.
But he still couldn't understand the young woman's intentions, so why did he come to him to get in touch with him?
He had guessed that these five people were ghosts, and perhaps there were many ghosts in the village, and these ghosts might want to get into his body.
But he carefully observed these people and found that they were fine, they were just humans. They might have some cultivation or no cultivation, but in short, they were all normal people.
In this way, he would not understand what these people mean. They are not from this village, so it is probably not a coincidence that they appear in this village.
On the contrary, it was a coincidence that he and Xu Da entered the village!
While he was thinking quickly, he was ready to respond to the young woman.
But at this time, the fat man with a fat face suddenly asked, "You are a fat dog. You raise it for food, right? Do you like to eat dog meat?"
Both of them have a weird problem.
Wang Qilin decided to respond to changes in the same way. He said, "I like dogs, I never eat dog meat."
Hearing this, the young woman suddenly laughed, while the fat man with white face squeezed his eyes and sighed.
The young woman leaned against Wang Qilin, and her pair of peach blossom eyes were very touching: "It's good to like dogs, I like dogs, especially after my man died, I specially raised a big black dog..."
"What are you doing to raise a dog?" The man who had been silent also spoke.
This was the first time he spoke, his voice was weird, as if his throat was spasming.
"Of course it's for doing it." The old man in the mountains became obscene with his smile, "Hehe, men don't raise cats or women don't raise dogs. Is this what you Han ancestors said?"
The young woman pouted and glared at the old man with anger and muttered, "I won't practice."
She said to Wang Qilin again: "Dogs are good things. As long as you treat them well, they will give you a hundred times better, which is much more reliable than humans."
The black and thin young man asked Xu Da again: "You are a pig slaughter, right? Someone in your family slaughtered pigs, right?"
Xu Da said unhappily: "You are the one who kills pigs. Your whole family is the one who kills pigs. The old man is the one who studies, and the whole family is the one who studies!"
