I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 6 Sage

But how did this pianist die?

Why did he protect Zhao Gensheng instead of her child?

Zhao Gensheng was still humming non-stop, wondering if he had recovered and wanted to speak, but the old man got up, pointed at his neck, and made him fall asleep.

"What's the matter with him?"

The woman straightened her hair: "I don't know, I slept well last night, and suddenly it happened like this. I remembered what the Taoist priest said before, and I was anxious to go out with the child in my arms, and it ended up like this."

She silently wiped away the tears in front of her eyes again, lowered her head and said nothing.

"What did the priest say?"

"He said that if a family member suddenly suffered from a serious illness, it would be an evil monster turning into a ghost to seek revenge. At this time, it would be safe to cross the river with the child in my arms. But I didn't expect that I just walked into the water and was killed by a group of people. Grabbed his legs with his hands, fell into the stream and passed out."

Gu Yao suddenly asked: "Where is that pawn wife from? Where did she go after that?"

The woman raised her head and glanced at Gu Yao: "I don't know, although I thought of the pawn wife's idea, but the woman was found by the husband, and after giving birth, he was sent away by the husband."

"The Taoist priest you were looking for before was also found by your husband?"

"No, that Taoist leader was introduced by my brother." The woman said honestly, "The child has lost his soul and is in a daze, so my brother introduced that Taoist leader."

"Brother, is it your brother, or Zhao Gensheng's brother?"

"My husband's elder brother."

Gu Yao nodded and stopped asking.

The old Taoist also got up, looked at the female ghost again, then pinched Zhao Gensheng like a chicken, looked at his eyes, nostrils and mouth, and took a breath: "Go, burn a cleansing mantra, and pour the talisman paper and water into him. "

Gu Yao responded, took out a stack of yellow talismans from the sleeve of his left hand, took out one, took a bowl at random, threw it in, and the talisman paper burned.

After burning and water, ash was poured in.

The purification mantra is one of the eight great divine mantras of Taoism. It can purify the body, expel the three poisons, and filter miasma. Of course, the effect depends on the person. The talisman drawn by Gu Yao can barely expel toxins.

After a while, Zhao Gensheng suddenly shook his body, his abdomen squirmed, rolled over on the ground, and vomited.

Yellow soup and green water poured out, judging by his posture, it seemed as if he wanted to spit out his heart and lungs.

The old man raised his head and looked at the woman: "Go and cook some rice soup and pour it for him."

The woman got up in a hurry and got into the kitchen.

"Old man, did they eat the rats yesterday? Why did they spit out so many rat tails?"

Gu Yao looked at the disgusting thing Zhao Gensheng vomited out, and asked curiously.

The old Taoist glanced at him: "I have no idea, this is sage, and eating it causes hallucinations. The reason he looks like this is because he ate this thing."

"How is that woman okay?"

"Just wait and ask."

It wasn't until Zhao Gensheng vomited clear water that the old Taoist lifted him up and threw him on the chair, and pointed at the ground casually, a group of weak flames ignited on the ground, burning all the filthy things on the ground.

"Old man, when can I play with fire like you?"

"Practice qi to transform the spirit, you are already standing on the threshold."

The practice of a Taoist priest is divided into four steps: refining and refining qi, practicing qi to transform the spirit, refining the spirit to reverse the emptiness, and refining the emptiness to join the Tao. Four steps, the world is so big, you can go there.

Although Gu Yao is refining and transforming qi right now, according to the old Taoist, the five internal organs and qi are already in one body, and he can transform the first ray of spiritual consciousness at any time, stepping into the realm of practicing qi to transform into a god.

Just then, the woman came with rice soup.

While feeding the soup, she answered questions.

"I also ate soup at home last night, but my elder brother brought us a supper later, talking about my family's hard work these past few days, and my share was Chinese medicine soup, so I thought my husband was too." The woman recalled.

Gu Yao and the old man looked at each other, Zhao Gensheng's brother, there is something wrong.

Immediately after a few words of advice, he said goodbye and went to find the village chief.

"Old man, could it be Zhao Gensheng's elder brother who found his comrades and killed him?"

"Don't talk nonsense until you understand it." The old man glared at him.

Gu Yao shut up immediately, and said after a while, "Let's report to Jing Yesi, we're just Taoist priests, and if we don't get rid of ghosts, it's too wrong to solve the case here."

"If you want to report to Jing Yesi, you should report it by the river. Once you enter the door of the family, you have answered the request of the family. If you report it now, do you want to lose your reputation and mine?"

"Yes."

Gu Yao was weak.

In this day and age, reputation is still very valuable.

Maoshan Taoist Temple was safe and sound, and he was able to build a relationship with Jing Yesi thanks to his reputation for so many years.

"One cannot stand without faith, I understand, today is another day of losing money, Taoist priests have done a quick job, alas~"

The village chief was standing at the entrance of the village at the moment, and he was talking to a villager for some reason. When he saw the two people coming, he sent the villager away, and came with a disgraced face: "Daoist Shanyuan, I let you see ugly today. .”

"Understandable."

"These two foolish bastards are doing nothing."

The village head scolded a few more words before the old Taoist took up the topic and asked about Zhao Gensheng's elder brother.

When Zhao Gensheng's elder brother was mentioned, the village chief's face became even more ugly.

"Those two are fools, and that one is a bastard, idle around all day long, and finally find him a wife, help him start a family and start a business, and he will lose cleanly with his backhand."

"Gambler, I can understand what you did." Gu Yao whispered behind the old Taoist.

"This matter has something to do with that bastard?"

"I'm afraid I can't get rid of the relationship. Please ask the village chief to show me the way and let me meet him."

The village head nodded: "In that case, please come this way, both of you."

As she walked, she muttered: "If it's really this bastard, it would be a short life. These two are brothers. When my elder brother passed away and divided the family property, Gensheng didn't need much. The land, the house and some gold and silver I gave it all to his elder brother, and I took some chickens and ducks myself."

"Later, Gensheng went to work in the city. He was favored by Jinniang because of his hard work. It took more than ten years of hard work to have the current business. On the contrary, his elder brother, Zhao Fuqi, lost everything in a few years. family property."

Jinniang is probably the name of Zhao Gensheng's wife.

Gu Yao asked: "Mother-in-law of the village chief, have you ever met that wandering Taoist priest?"

"I've seen it. It's not very good looking. It's far worse than your master and apprentice."

Gu Yao found that the old man's waist straightened a little.

After walking a few more steps, I came to a dilapidated mud hut: "That's it."

The village chief said, stepped forward and pushed the house away: "Because this bastard doesn't work, the daughter-in-law ran back to her mother's house and remarried."

"Zhao Fuqi, are you there?"

As soon as the door opened, a soaring smell of wine came to the nostrils. Gu Yao covered his nose and took two steps back: "This smell is stronger than the pigsty just now."

The village chief also took two steps back silently: "Don't take offense, you two, this bastard is just like this."

After shouting a few more times, a tall, sloppy man got out of it.

Her hair and beard were messy and greasy, her clothes were also patched a lot, and the sleeves of her clothes were black and shiny.

The man stretched out his hand and scratched his head: "Village Chief, why are you here? You haven't come here once in the past year?"

The man opened his mouth, and a more foul smell of alcohol wafted out.

"Why do you drink so much wine?" The wrinkles on the village chief's forehead were almost crowded into a mountain.

"Happy."

Zhao Fuqi didn't care, turned around and grabbed a wine gourd that was neither yellow nor black from the house, and drank a few mouthfuls of it.

Gu Yao took a step forward: "Happy? Glad that your brother is going to die, and the child is gone, so you can get a lot of money?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhao Fuqi shook his hand, and the muddy wine spilled out: "Little thing that doesn't even have hair, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Oh? Isn't the sage you sent to send him to the west?"

"Nonsense, sage can only cause hallucinations, and if you eat too much, you will become a lunatic. How is that possible?"

Gu Yao turned around and looked at the old man: "This guy is too stupid, so I'll do it myself."

Only then did Zhao Fuqi come back to his senses, he was furious, and stretched out his big black and ash-stained hand to grab Gu Yao: "Little Taoist priest, you are courting death!"
