Chapter 40
Later, his father recalled that he didn't know why he suddenly felt cold all over, and it was like entering another world as soon as he entered the gate.There is an inexplicable traction in his heart that leads him forward.Especially when I noticed the portrait for the first time, there was a voice next to my ear saying to move forward with magic.The legs began to walk straight to the table unconsciously, even wiping the dust on the portrait with their hands.When all this happened, my father tried to resist but found it futile.It felt as if the hands and feet had been controlled by other people, except that the consciousness was still clear, and the whole person had become a puppet manipulated by the people behind the scenes.He wanted to call Huzi but found that he could not make a sound, and then lost consciousness, his mind was dizzy, and he had actually lost consciousness when he went out of the house.

I don’t know more about seeing Aunt Huang on the road and finally returning home with a fever. I only know that I felt like I was in a fire at that time, and I felt like I walked into another place in a blur. But I can't see anyone, and I feel like I'm floating in the air when I'm walking, and the surrounding is misty, but the scenery is clearly visible.

The body is like a feather, and you can walk like flying without any effort, and your heart is filled with a touch of joy, and the world suddenly becomes beautiful.Just when his father was about to enjoy himself, a powerful force pulled towards him, as if a giant hand suddenly descended from the sky and dragged his consciousness into the vortex.Immediately afterwards, the senses and hearing of the whole body returned to normal, and the body became heavy. After opening the eyes, I realized that the previous experience was too unimaginable, and it felt like a world away.

My father told grandma about these experiences and feelings in detail, praying to find some key information, which of course can be regarded as summing up the experience.Grandma said that she should be calling the soul at that time, and found the lost soul of my father.

I don't know when the method of using paper figurines to call out the soul was handed down, and the reason for it is also unclear, but countless folk experiences have proved that it is indeed useful.Just like being frightened by a deceased person and burning paper in front of his grave, these are folk remedies handed down from generation to generation in rural areas, which have special curative effects on being attacked by ghosts, but modern medicine cannot cure them.The next day, my father has almost recovered his former vigor and spirit. Everything yesterday was like a dream, which turned into nothing.Now I was resting at home, Erhuzi ran in excitedly and shouted happily: "Brother Ping, brother Ping, are you all right? I heard from my aunt that you lost your soul yesterday and scared me Dead, I thought you would never come back again! I wanted to come yesterday, but my mother stopped me and refused to let me go, saying that there are probably... "outsiders" in your house, and they are here to hit the evil. Now it's okay Are you ready?" Before finishing speaking, Hu Zi sat beside his father and looked him up and down, as if looking at an alien, his eyes almost saw through his father.

"Go, go, it's really embarrassing. I heard that you ran away yesterday and didn't care about me. You were afraid of running into evil. You really don't show loyalty!" His father pretended to scold him, but there was a smile in his eyes. Grandma has already told him about everything, and the reason why she said that is just to tease Huzi.

"The sky is a lesson, I never left you alone. Although I was a little bit scared, so I walked a little far away from you, but I didn't ask Xiao Si to come over and ask Auntie to pick you up. Brother Ping, Don't talk like that!" Huzi really almost ran away at the time, but he still didn't do that in the end, and he felt ashamed as if he had done something wrong when his father said it.

"Oh, I'm just kidding you, where is Xiaosi? Why didn't you see him coming? This little bastard is too heartless, he doesn't even come to see me." Father looked towards the door, and said that Xiaosi should I also know that he is well, why didn't he come.

"Oh, he has something to do at home. I heard that it seems that a relative from a long distance is here. That person is young and only in his 20s. Xiaosi should be called cousin. I don't know too well. Just listen to me in the morning. Mom and the others are talking. By the way, that person is still a Taoist priest!" Hu Zi bit the word Taoist very hard.

"What? Taoist priest? What are you doing here?" Father was very curious. Shouldn't Taoist priests generally live on the top of a mountain away from the world?Fluttering white beard, fairy style, a whisk? "The Taoist priests in my imagination seem to be old men. Such a young Taoist priest might be a parallel importer!"

"I don't know either. I'm not Xiao Si'er. How can I know about his family? How about I find Xiao Si and ask? I'm also very curious about Taoist priests. There should be no Taoist temples here, right?" , that Taoist priest must have come from far away." What Er Huzi said made sense, the township where Wusi Village is located is hundreds of miles away and I have never heard of any Taoist temples, but there are a few monk temples.These days, I don't know where the Taoist priests live, it's like a mystery, which makes people think.

"Okay, I really want to learn magic from that Taoist priest. If I have magic power, I won't be so distraught by the ghost yesterday that I almost become demented." My father has always had a strong feeling for these unknown mysterious things. Curiosity and desire to explore are also the main reasons why he loves adventure since he was a child.

"Brother Ping, should we go together?" Er Huzi was also very curious about this Taoist priest, after all, he was different from ordinary people.I don't know what they usually eat and drink, maybe they don't eat at all!

"Let's go!" Father patted Er Huzi on the shoulder and called out to grandma along the way, "Mom, I'm going out to play with Xiaosi."

"Okay, don't go where you shouldn't go, you are just right, and your body is still weak!" Grandma came out of the kitchen, glanced at her father, and greeted Huzi with a smile, "Huzi, you are here!" , Auntie was busy cooking and didn’t see you just now. Be careful when you go out to play, Heping, and don’t get into trouble!”

"Auntie, I know, hehe. How dare we now, we just look for Xiao Sier." Huzi said foolishly, stroking the back of his head.

Grandma combed father's forehead up three times with her hand and gave him some instructions before letting him go. Er Huzi also waved his hand to signal to leave.The two of them went to Xiao Si'er's house full of curiosity. In fact, they wanted to find out whether Xiao Si's Taoist cousin really had magic powers.

Xiaosi lives in Xiacun, next door to the old man Wang whose son died, and the door is facing the Yantang.When the father and the others arrived, they saw a young, strange face standing on the bank, chatting with old man Wang, who couldn't hear clearly from a distance away, and there was vaguely something like a big red fish.Xiao Si'er tilted his head and looked up at the young man with an adoring expression on his face. There were Xiao Si's mother and a few neighbors beside him, and everyone was engrossed.This handsome boy with the appearance of a white-faced scholar should be the Taoist cousin of Xiaosi. Could it be that he was talking about the red fish and water ghost?

"Little four, uncle, aunts." The father greeted each other cordially after a distance of several meters, and he was always sweet-mouthed wherever he went.

"Brother Ping..." Seeing that his father had returned to normal, Xiao Si smiled instantly, his big eyes seemed to be able to talk, shining brightly, if it was a girl, all the boys in the village would want to marry go home.

When Xiaosi was talking, his cousin also shifted his eyes to his father, looking at his father who really wanted to hide, his eyes were as calm as water but seemed to hide an undercurrent, which could draw people away. My mind is involved.The father inadvertently moved behind Huzi, making him uncomfortable at a glance. Could this be the legendary mana?Is it true that if you practice well, you can kill with your eyes?I am so yearning!Hey, this child has fallen into the wrong theory that Taoist priests have boundless mana and can become gods.

"Xiao Ping'er, are you okay? I heard that you were scared to death yesterday. Come and let this elder brother check it out for you. He is a Taoist priest! Call your elder brother." Xiao Si'er's mother has always said He treats his father like his own son. On weekdays, his father goes to her house as frequently as his own. From the time he first moved here until now, his father was also raised by Xiao Si's mother, and he even ate her food when he was young. What about milk?

"Xiao Ping'er, you are very courageous. How dare you go to that inauspicious place. You are promising! We old men don't dare to go. You are better than blue when you grow up. You will be a soldier when you grow up. Wow, haha..." Because old man Wang lost his son, he loves the younger generation very much. Although there is still a bit of teasing in his words, he is really worried about his father, and the praise is of course true.

"Uncle, I was wrong. I don't dare to run around anymore, so don't make fun of me." Father's heart is as transparent as that lotus root, and there is another layer of meaning in these words.As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present laughed, but the Taoist priest had a serious expression on his face, which seemed out of harmony with the whole occasion, perhaps because of the cultivator.

"Brother, are you a Taoist priest with profound mana?" Father looked up to an idol with the joy of adoration, and even asked in a tone of intentional flattery.

"Yeah." The Taoist priest was dressed very normally, without a Taoist robe or dust whisk, which was quite different from what he had imagined.At first glance, one can feel his unique aura, with a dusty temperament on his body, as if he does not eat fireworks.With such a short word, his face was calm, and he didn't even blink his eyes except for the corners of his mouth when he spoke.

"Let me take the liberty to ask, brother, do you have a school? Do you have a Taoist name?" Although there are countless questions in my heart that want to come out of my mouth, for the sake of politeness, no matter how excited I am, I have to pretend to be reserved, so as to scare the expert Not good.

"Maoshan Shangqing sect, the Taoist name is Qingfeng." It is still short but powerful, and the words seem to have a thousand-weight force. It turns out that they are the legendary disciples of Maoshan!

"Wow, that's great, Maoshan School..." My father suddenly felt the admiration of a master, wishing to kneel down and offer three sticks of incense.The mouth is pulled to the root of the ear, and he is smiling.

Er Huzi patted him hard, "Brother Ping? Do you know Maoshan School?"

"I don't know. Why?"

"I don't know? Looking at you like that, I thought you were very familiar!" Er Huzi asked gently in his father's ear, with a look of doubt on his face. Although this Maoshan faction sounds awesome, he really doesn't know it. I know.

"I don't know if it's okay..." His father rolled his eyes at him, and continued to look at the young Taoist priest with a smirk of admiration.

"Then can I call you cousin too? I'm Xiaosi'er's friend, haha..." The father felt that he had to hug Gao Ren's thigh tightly so that he could learn some useful things like Taoist secret arts.After speaking, he quickly stretched out his hand, ready to shake it, when he saw that his hand was a little dark, he wiped it on his clothes embarrassingly.

"You're the only one who pleases someone! Nephew, this is Xiao Si'er's friend. He was possessed by a ghost yesterday and lost his soul. Show me." Xiao Si'er's mother couldn't help being happy when she saw her father like this. Little slick, since he was a child, he has relied on one mouth to cheat food and drink, and there is nothing he can do about it.He became more eloquent when he grew up, much better than Xiao Si who blushed when meeting strangers.
