Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 113: Ghost back gangrene, pig evil

A black shadow suddenly came from the wind, flying across the snow from the hillside, picking up snow powder that flew freely.

Xueli, who was having fun alone, hurriedly showed his fat figure and tried to climb a tree to get out of the way. He suffered a lot and will remember it later. However, it was already too late. A figure with slender feet gently poked out and pulled it out. He kicked down the slope and plunged into the thick snow without losing sight of his head or tail.

The cheerful and sweet laughter like silver bells has already been swept into the open courtyard door with the cold wind.

Of course there would be no other person besides Liu Xianfeng who could pull off such a prank.

"Sir, there was an old man kneeling down outside the mountain gate to beg for an audience. I didn't show up, so I asked him to get up and tell me something. He said that his son had a malignant sore on his back. He asked several doctors from the countryside and the town to take a look at it. Because the malignant sore is strange and dangerous, all of them are... Don't dare to take medication.

"One of the old doctors said that the patient suffered from 'ghost back gangrene' because he was suffering from evil spirits and was haunted by evil spirits. The old man quickly asked the mage and the goddess to do it. After struggling for three days, the condition worsened. The old man heard about your condition. Reputation, I’ll drive thirty or forty miles to ask you to help me.”

Liu Xianfeng floated down from the black cat's back and reported to the young master who was playing with fire with a smile.

She has a gentle and virtuous appearance, and is well-educated and sensible. She doesn't look like a wild girl who is kicking bugs outside.

Xu Yuanchang dispersed the complicated flames swirling in the air, stood up and said softly: "Ghost back gangrene... a very rare evil disease. Everything has a cause and a result. What happened to the patient?"

"This...I forgot to ask."

Liu Xianfeng floated onto the black cat's back and said with a smile: "Sir, shall we go?"

Of course she wants to go out. It's so fun outside and you can catch ghosts.

The black cat tilted its head and stared at the young master. It was finally its turn to come to Bailin Valley as a guest. This time it was lucky. It had something to do. It often listened to the noisy dog ​​bragging about how exciting and ups and downs it was to go out with the young master. Much gain.

It was envious and jealous, and had several fights with the dog.

Xu Yuanchang had already walked to the back room, took his bamboo box and said, "Let's go, everyone. It's thirty or forty miles away. It's a bit far in heavy snow. Which village is it?"

"Forgot to ask."

The disgraced Liu Xianfeng was ashamed.

She wasn't like this before. She became clumsy after staying with Xueli for a long time.

Jumping on the cat's back, he quickly urged the black cat to run out of the door, shouting: "Xue Li, you stay at home to look after the home and nursery. Don't be lazy and sleep. We have something to do with the young master when we go out."

Nowadays, the Bailingu family has a great business, and it has become a habit for Xueli, who doesn't like to move, to stay in the old nest every time.

Xu Yuanchang walked in the snow without leaving a trace, and appeared at the mountain gate. He said to the old man who was busy bowing and saluting: "Old man, you are welcome. What do you call me? Where did you come from? Let's talk as we walk without wasting time."

The old man with a face as dry as bark had swollen eyes and a tough body. He was wearing an old furry coat and a pair of cloth shoes sunk into the snow. He smiled hurriedly and said, "You call me Yu San, the old man. I come from Guoshan Villa." Come here, it was Yu Decai from Qianshan Town who introduced me to you, saying that you are very capable and can cure my son's sores, and the charges are fair."

He was very taboo about saying "ghost back gangrene".

Dirty things are on the body, and the dangers are unpredictable. There are many people in the countryside who chew their tongues.

Xu Yuanchang understood the old man's roundabout inquiries. Yu Decai from Qianshan Town was the first customer he met that year. He was quite impressed and said with a smile: "I have to see the patient first before I can decide whether to treat him or not, but I don't dare to Just make sure you take care of yourself. The snowy road is slippery, so be careful where you step."

The old man Yu San took the courage to ask: "Master Xu, could you please cast a spell to treat ghost back gangrene? I don't know the price? I am from a small family, and I really don't have much wealth."

He had inquired in Qingshi Town, and it was said that the reward for asking Taoist Master Xu to take action was easily a hundred taels of silver.

There was a huge difference from the price range of 80 taels to 15 taels that Yu Decai told him. He couldn't even afford it by selling iron and land. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have almost been frightened and turned around.

Xu Yuanchang smiled and said: "It was introduced by Rich Master Yu, so I will calculate it based on the original price, what do you think?"

The old man Yu San suddenly felt much lighter on his feet. He was still able to get it together by moving here and there. He bent down and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Taoist Priest is compassionate. Please worry about it in the cold weather. The carriage I invited is parked in the town. Please bear with me."

The two of them and one cat went down the mountain and met two delinquent people at the entrance of the town.

"Director Xu, you are out."

"Well, let's go out for a walk."

After responding to the two enthusiastic delinquents, Xu Yuanchang got into a semi-old carriage with the respect of the old man.

The black cat lay down in the corner of the carriage. Xu Yuanchang called the old man who was blowing air at the front of the carriage into the carriage. As the carriage ran on the snow, he began to ask the patient about the circumstances of his illness.

I learned that the patient named Yu Deli was a butcher. Before the snowfall, he had killed three new year pigs for the villagers. He was usually in good health, as strong as a calf, and had no minor illnesses or disasters all year round. This time, for some reason, he suddenly got the disease. Strange illness, bedridden.

The old man Yu San wiped his eyes as he spoke, suppressing his sadness and grief.

Xu Yuanchang thought for a moment and asked: "Before killing the New Year pig, did you ask about the sacred incense?"

He has read a lot of books, is knowledgeable, and knows some old rules quite well. The old man Yu San's cloudy old eyes suddenly showed fear. He was reminded by the Taoist Priest that he had found the root of the disease in his heart.

His child was not touched by something dirty, but by a pig, and he sighed.

"That stubborn guy...I regretted that I should have brought him into the pig butcher's business. I have been killing pigs all my life, and I will ask for the incense beforehand. The ashes will fall off smoothly before using the knife. I have never encountered any strange things. He does not believe in evil..." I didn't follow the rules and killed the pig that I shouldn't have killed. How could I... have given birth to such a careless child?"

By the time I got to the end, I was already bursting into tears, covering my face with my hands, and sobbing silently with my shoulders shaking.

He is an old pig-killing craftsman, and he understands that behind the old rules are lessons learned, and how serious the consequences of killing the wrong pig can be.

The white-haired person wants to send the black-haired person away, which is heartbreaking.

Xu Yuanchang expressed a few general words of relief. This was the first time he encountered such a strange thing. He had to see the patient before he could make a decision. He couldn't believe that he could cure it just by talking about it.

It was difficult to walk on the snowy road, so we arrived at the mountain villa when it was almost dusk.

The third old man Yu hurriedly paid for the carriage, invited Daoist Xu to sit down in the main room, and ordered the old woman and two daughters-in-law to hurry up and get the food. He then turned around and scolded his ignorant grandchildren, "You can't chase that cat away. You can go and play. Don't cause trouble to me."

Xu Yuanchang looked around the large brick-walled yard and observed the situation everywhere.

The black cat followed slowly, also checking to see if there was anything unusual?
This trip is not for fun, there are serious things to do.

Liu Xianfeng had already become invisible and flew away, walking around the front and back of the house first.

This was the first time she knew how particular pig butchers were about using white knives and red knives. What method should be used to kill five-fingered pigs? White-headed pigs must die a good death. Asking the incense god if the incense burns out midway, you should pack it up quickly or leave, etc. .

Xu Yuanchang walked into the main room, did not take a seat, and said to the old man Yu San and two other men who were accompanying him: "Go and see the patient first, and we will drink tea later."

Even if the parents are together, the family is not separated. This is one big family.

Now, due to the strange illness of the butcher's son, the atmosphere in the big family is very depressed. Except for the ignorant children, they are having fun in the snow carelessly.

"Please come this way."

The old man Yu San bowed down and smiled, inviting Taoist Master Xu to the west side room. He opened the thick curtain, and the hot air hit his face.

Xu Yuanchang walked in first. There was a strong smell of herbs inside, and the wall was very warm.

Xu Yuanchang nodded slightly to the woman with a haggard face and hurriedly saluted, and approached the bed. The two men hurriedly stepped forward and gently took off the quilt on the bed, revealing the back of the sleeping strong man.

A malignant sore was swollen to the size of a baby's fist, black and shiny, with a dark spot in the middle that sunk downwards, resembling a ghost's eye.

As if sensing the gaze and observation of Xu Yuanchang and Black Cat, Ghost Back Gang suddenly made some movement.

The sore is throbbing as if something is about to come out and burst at any time.
The lights in the room flickered without wind and almost went out several times.

Yu San, an old man, was so frightened that his face changed. He was busy guarding the lights and begging for mercy: "Master Pig, please do a good job. Don't pester my son. I will burn incense, offer sacrifices, and kowtow to make amends. You can go back to heaven to enjoy your blessings."

He believed that his son had killed the ancient pig, which was said to have come down to earth to undergo tribulations and suffered tribulations, so that he could make such a strange move.

The strong man lying on the bed woke up from the pain and cried out in pain. He tried to struggle to get up, but the sores became more and more swollen and ready to burst.

His two brothers were so frightened that they were at a loss and did not dare to step forward and hold him down.

The woman would only cover her mouth nervously and cry.

Xu Yuanchang observed, stretched out his finger and touched the back of the strong man's neck, making him fall into sleep again, and shouted:
"If you dare to break it, I will cast a spell to save you. When your body and soul are not enough, how can you use your great supernatural powers? You will never have a chance to escape. The matter is not negotiable, why bother to make it a dead end? "

He shouted out the strangeness, the lights stopped flickering, and the sores quickly returned to calm.

It wasn't that he was possessed by an evil spirit or that he was haunted by ghosts. It was indeed a strong man who mistakenly killed a pig that was the reincarnation of a god.

The god was punished by being transformed into a pig's body. The fate was not over yet, and he was stabbed again. Therefore, he was resentful and sought revenge from the butcher. He demanded his life and used the butcher's soul and blood to nourish the damaged soul.

It is also a case of unending karma and retribution, which is difficult to explain.

When he saw the invited Taoist Master Xu, he just shouted and stopped the Zhusha who was about to move. The old man Yu San was overjoyed.

Sure enough, he is really an expert with great ability and reputation, much more powerful than the mage he hired two days ago.

He seemed to see the hope of the child's survival.
