Night Lights

Chapter 130

In Yeyi, Nanyang, there is a Taoist man named Ye Fashan, who practiced Taoism for four generations, performed yin skills, and saved things to help people; his mother, Liu Shi, dreamed in the daytime, saw stars in her belly, was pregnant for fifteen months, and gave birth to a son; He, with a frank heart, does not eat meat, travels and casts spells to save the common people; later he becomes a feather, and the green smoke enters the clouds; this name is: Ye Daoyuan, the God of Imperial Physician. ——Excerpted from Tongyin Eight Volumes of "Wordless Book of Heaven".

into the night.

The weather turned cold, and with the autumn wind and rain all night, the country road sixty miles south of Jiaolong Mountain was already covered with withered leaves...

blah blah blah!
There was a sound of horseshoes coming, and when they looked head-on, the two who came were Bai Shibao and the 'Master of Maoshan' Lin Jiu.At this time, Bai Shibao changed into a thick coat with extra layers, and a black cloth bag was slung over his shoulder, which contained dry food, wine and meat, and the coils Wang Xiang gave him.Bai Shibao's scruffy beard was shaved, and his braids were re-braided. It was clean and tidy, and looked brand new!
As the saying goes: Bad horses are drawn by others, but good horses walk by themselves.

Yuan Longzhao gave them two bad horses, but Wang Xiang secretly replaced them with two good horses.It stands to reason that Bai Shibao's horse riding ability can be described as "riding a donkey upside down for fear of dazzling eyes, and riding a horse for fear of weak legs". Fortunately, these two good horses have been domesticated, and they don't need to be whipped. ...This makes Bai Shibao's riding skills 'advance by leaps and bounds' appear 'extraordinarily superb'!
At this moment, Bai Shibao turned his head and asked, "Daozhang Lin, what happened to your brother Chen Xiaohu?"

Lin Jiu replied: "I have already told brother Yan Zifei...he will ask Master Yuan to send someone to search for him, and he will also find it together with your brothers, and he will be recuperated in the cottage for several days!"

Bai Shibao nodded and said, "That old ghost king uncle voluntarily stayed on the mountain. He said that there is food and drink on the mountain, and everyone treats him like a god..."

Lin Jiu sighed, and said, "Human beings and ghosts have different paths, one yin and one yang, mixing together will cause disaster!"

Bai Shibao didn't say much, and thought to himself: Then Yuan Longzhao is willing to raise ghosts, and Uncle Wang is willing to stay on the mountain, and we can't mix things up if you like me... After thinking about it, Bai Shibao asked again: "Lin Dao Chang, why do you think Kui planted a black dog's heart in Jiang Kang?"

Lin Jiu said: "Dead corpses are most jealous of mad dogs and black cats. Anyone who is bitten by a mad dog or scratched by a black cat will turn into a fraudulent corpse! Do you think this fraudulent corpse will be refined by Bian Kui with a mad dog's heart?" into what?"

"Walking corpse..." Bai Shibao gasped after hearing this.

pat!

pat!

At this moment, there was a crackling sound from the front!

The sound is crisper than the sound of horseshoes, more like drumming...

It can be heard that this is the sound of the hooves of mules and donkeys!
In a blink of an eye!
A donkey with a black body and a white mouth ran towards him, and an old woman was sitting on it!Bai Shibao took a closer look. The old woman was wearing this black birthday jacket, black clothes and black trousers, and she was sitting on the donkey, looking flustered. Look to Bai Shibao and the two of them.

Bai Shibao whispered to Lin Jiu: "Why do I look at this old lady a little weirdly, she seems to be holding something in her hand!"

Lin Jiu replied: "Let's go our way and leave her alone!"

Bai Shibao nodded.

At this time!The old woman suddenly stopped the donkey, picked it off, and asked the two of them with a cat on her waist: "Dare to ask you two...... Is one of them the Lin Daochang of Maoshan?"

"Maoshan Forest Taoist?"

Bai Shibao was taken aback for a moment, turned his head to look at Lin Jiu, only to see Lin Jiu shook his head, and said, "You've got the wrong person!"

"Oh!"

The old woman responded, bent down to thank the two, and then turned to lead the donkey...

This time!

Lin Jiu wondered what was wrong, and asked again: "What's the name of the Taoist leader of Maoshan Forest you're looking for?"

The old woman thought for a while, then opened her mouth and said, "I heard from that Taoist priest, it seems to be Uncle Lin Jiu!"

Lin Jiu paused, and then asked, "What do you want him for?"

The old woman was a little anxious, shook her head and said: "You are not the person I am looking for, I am afraid that if you say it, it will be in vain, and you will not be able to help me!"

Bai Shibao interjected: "That's not necessarily the case! Old man, you might as well talk about it, maybe we can give you an idea!"

The old woman looked up at the two of them, as if she had been wronged, she shed tears unknowingly, and said in mourning, "I am from a village in Lin County, and I make a living by grinding tofu. Just an only son... I asked my son to sell the tofu I made every night in the next town. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, my son did not return all night, and when he came back the next morning, he was listless! I asked him what was going on, and he also Did not say……

Over the next few days, he became thinner and thinner, and almost lost his human appearance. I felt something was wrong, so I went to a Taoist priest, who said that my son was haunted by ghosts..."

"Haunted by ghosts?"

Bai Shibao asked anxiously, "What the hell is that?"

"The Taoist priest said that this ghost is very fierce. It has already sucked out my son's yang energy. Within a day, there will be an evil messenger coming to seduce the soul. Then my son will die... After hearing this, I begged the Taoist priest to show mercy. Xin, don’t let me give away a white-haired person to a black-haired person! Finally, the priest finally gave me a way... He asked me to put nine bowls of rice wine, two plates of melons and fruits at the intersection of my house, and another offering Pillar of fragrance!"

After hearing this, Lin Jiu nodded and said, "This is a way of 'begging the ghost for life'!"

Immediately afterwards, I heard the old woman say: "After I placed it at the door of the house, not long after, I really saw two people striding forward, one of them was wearing white clothes, the other was wearing green clothes... I followed the Taoist priest's instructions, Forced them to come over for a drink, but the two couldn't shirk, so they ate a few mouthfuls of fruit and drank three bowls of wine each!... When they were about to turn around and leave, I stopped them and told the truth, wanting to get some longevity for my son ..."

Bai Shibao was stunned and said, "Could it be that these two are the impermanent second masters who urged their lives?"

The old woman nodded and continued: "After hearing this, they promised me that each bowl of wine can be forgiven for one year, there are six bowls in total, but your son will be forgiven for six years!"

Lin Jiu sneered and said: "These two ghost masters have short mouths! ... But the ghost's words are not credible! He said six years, but only six days in the world!"

"Exactly!" The old woman said excitedly: "Later, I went to find that Taoist priest, and that Taoist priest drew a talisman on my palm, saying it was called 'Palm Thunder'...and told me that I would be here tonight." If you block the way, you will definitely meet a Taoist priest from Maoshan, his name is: Lin Jiu, and he said that he will definitely help me save my son's life!"

Speaking of this, the old woman cried sadly, and shouted anxiously: "But, I have been waiting here for three hours, and I have not seen a single person passing by, only the two of you, but neither of them is the person I am looking for..."

Lin Jiu thought for a while and asked: "Don't worry, old man, just tell me, what is the name of the Taoist priest who conspired for you?"

The old woman said: "I only know that the priest's surname is Dong, and he always holds half a plum blossom branch in his hand!"

Lin Jiu laughed and said, "It turned out to be him!"

Bai Shibao asked from the side, "Does Master Lin know?"

"This Taoist brother is known as: a Taoist who started hexagrams, understood the 'plum blossoms and broken hexagrams', and can measure the good or bad of life and death. Once the hexagrams are completed, good or bad will be self-evident! People call: 'Plum blossoms are easy to count' Dong Ziqing!... No wonder he can calculate impermanence The second master begs for his life, and deduces that I will definitely meet this place on the way!"

Bai Shibao was stunned, "Why? He's more accurate than Ma Kuiyuan?"

Lin Jiu said: "Ma Kuiyuan understood the word 'Ying' in divination, but this Dong Ziqing understood the word 'Duan' in hexagram calculation! In terms of good and bad things, Taoist Dong is even better!"

Bai Shibao nodded, thinking that Daoist Dong is a strange person.

At this time, the old woman pointed at Lin Jiu and exclaimed, "You...you are the Taoist leader of Maoshan Forest?"

Lin Jiu got off the horse, clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Since it was recommended by Daoist Dong, I can't shirk it! Now, Lin Jiu, I'm willing to help you with this, exorcising demons and saving lives!"

The old woman hastily knelt down and thanked her!

Lin Jiu hurriedly went forward, helped her up, and asked, "By the way, what exactly did your son encounter?"

The old woman frowned and said, "That Daoist Dong said that what my son met was a coffin ghost!"

"Coffin Ghost?"

Bai Shibao asked: "What is a coffin ghost?"

Lin Jiu said: "The coffin ghost means that the coffin has become a spirit! As the saying goes: there are many thousand-year-old trees in the mountains, and it is rare to meet a hundred-year-old person in the world. Trees are self-aware! Cutting down a tree and bleeding it is a sign of becoming a spirit...Of course! The tree monster does not harm many people, but over time, it will cause a little trouble!"

Bai Shibao asked: "You mean, the coffin ghost was originally a tree spirit?"

"That's right!"

Lin Jiu said: "After it was chopped down, it must have been beaten into a coffin with its body, and then it was stained with human blood, and it became a ghost spirit in the coffin! ... This ghost spirit in the coffin lost its 'root' and wanted to absorb human beings. Yang Qi to live!"

"How do we bring it down?"

Lin Jiu said with a smile: "Didn't Dong Ziqing help us finish half of it? Let the old man use the 'palm thunder' to fix the coffin ghost first, and then we will activate the yin fire to burn it!" After finishing speaking, Lin Jiu told the old man The wife asked, "Do you know where your son is now?"

The old woman shook her head and said, "I don't see anyone else every night, so I don't know where to run into ghosts!"

"Tell me your son's birthday!"

Lin Jiu took out a piece of yellow paper, asked her birthday, drew a "soul chasing talisman" on the paper, pinched it with her fingertips, burned the talisman paper, and turned it into a ball of hell fire. People's faces fluttered... only to hear Lin Jiu chanting again: "A talisman sacrifices to the Nine Heavens, invites the Nine Heavens' ghost generals, Lei Huo rushes to find mortals, and travels around the world to see three souls...Shenhuo rushes like a law!" After finishing speaking, Lin Jiu pointed at Minghuo with his hand and shouted, "Zha!"

The ghost fire flashed in front of the three of them, and then slowly drifted away towards the northwest!

Lin Jiu shouted urgently: "Put down the horse, let's follow!"

Bai Shibao shook the package on his body, and thought to himself: I want to see what this coffin spirit looks like...
