Fairy Sword Inquiry 1

Chapter 19 Purifying the Dharma in the Clean House, Surprised by the Midian Demon
Maybe it was God's blessing, Xingyan did find a good job.Since he worked as a flute master in Huayuelou, the boy's life has become much easier than before.What makes the young man particularly comfortable is that he no longer has to drive back and forth for more than ten miles every day!And the old Dao Qinghe who hadn't seen him for a long time now obviously warmed up to Xingyan a lot. Although Xingyan no longer pestered him to learn from his teacher, the old Dao often hired him to do some odd jobs to make money.

Speaking of which, this so-called work in a place of good fortune is the most leisurely and boring work, so how can he bear it with the quick temper of Qinghe Laodao.Therefore, the old Taoist inevitably has to go out on some errands from time to time, to check Fengshui for others, cure some talismans and so on, while promoting Taoism, he also earns a couple of wine money by the way.Thanks to his title as a Taoist priest in the Shangqing Palace, the part-time business of the old Taoist is quite prosperous.But the so-called "one hand can't do it alone", these things can't be dealt with by one person alone, and there must be a helper.It's just that the two ready-made candidates at Shanyuan, the little Taoist priests Mingjing and Mingchen, will not "join the same stream" with him.The two little Taoist priests, Mingchen and Mingjing, are full of complaints about being sent to Raozhou City by the sect to do these handymen, so they cherish their feathers even more. Do those shameful things similar to wandering Taoists.The two of them were full of resentment towards Qinghe Laodao's actions that harmed the prestige of the Shangqing Palace. Although they were embarrassed by their seniority, they often complained together in secret, complaining that the leaders of their good relationship did not care at all. The reputation of being the head of Taoism in the Qing Dynasty.

The old Taoist Qinghe is well aware of this situation, and he never dared to expect these two little Taoist priests to "be in harmony with him".

In this way, Zhang Xingyan, the young boy who was so familiar with him, was just right for him.When he woke up and said that Le Ban was fine during the day, the old Taoist Qinghe went to recruit him to act as his follower, to help him, and to carry a basket and pass a talisman or something during the practice.They are old and young, seasoned, young and clever, and they are very handy to cooperate with each other.Every time he goes on such an errand with Lao Dao, Xing Yan can follow him for a little money, so he never tires of it, and every time he listens to Qinghe's call, he happily follows him.

Let's say that this morning, another business came to Qinghe Laodao.It turned out that Zhu Yuan, the owner of the Zhujia rice shop in the city, sent someone from outside to invite him, a well-known senior Taoist priest of the Qing Dynasty in Raozhou City, to do a small ritual cleansing for their Zhuzhai.

Speaking of Zhu Ji, the boss of the rice shop, he can be regarded as a well-known figure in Raozhou City. His family's rice shop business is booming, and his family is very rich.

"The salary for this errand should be quite a lot, right?" Hearing that it was the boss of Zhuji Mixing, the old Taoist immediately became happy, and he didn't dare to neglect him, so he hurried to Huayuelou to call for Xingyan, Prepare all kinds of supplies, make a load for him to carry behind, and soon the old and young people followed Zhu's family all the way to Zhu's house.

After arriving at the Zhuzhai, the old Taoist had to put on his cassock, ordered Xingyan to arrange things as usual, and was ready to start asking for Fushui to clean the house.While they were cheering and drinking, the Zhu member asked the old man not to be too busy.Just listen to the fat-headed and big-eared Mihang boss say:

"Ahem, um, Immortal Qinghe has been exhausted all the way, so let's eat some food first. There is no rush to clean the house."

Hearing that there is something to eat, Qinghe will naturally not refuse.So Zhu Yuanwai ordered to go down and ask someone to arrange a banquet, and invite the old Taoist and Xingyan to have a meal, and he is also on the sidelines. "Sure enough, it's a wealthy family, but you're just too polite!"

Seeing the hospitality of the host, good wine and good food, the old Taoist is even more overjoyed.That Xingyan was also secretly happy in his heart, thinking that today is really lucky, not only earning some extra money, but also allowing himself to get a good meal.

It's just that while eating happily, Xing Yan couldn't help but feel a little strange, because the member Zhu who accompanied him at the banquet never mentioned the matter of cleaning the house, but just enthusiastically persuaded him to drink and persuade food, which was the same as the one who came in the morning. Inviting their Zhu Jiajia Ding to be anxious and roaring, it really doesn't match.But at the moment, the wine is hot and the mouth is full of oil, so I can't control so much, let's have a full drink and a meal first.

After drinking four or five glasses of wine, the old Dao Qinghe's face turned red, and he felt a little flustered.Under the effect of the wine, the old Taoist mouth seemed to have lost the gate, and he began to brag about his powerful Taoism.I only heard the drunk old Taoist say:

"I wish the benefactor, I want to know the Taoism in Luofu Mountain for many years before Pindao came to Raozhou City. It's not Pindao Haikou. It's just a piece of cake to ask for a talisman to purify a house or something."

Hearing the old Taoist brag, the member Zhu couldn't stop praising and echoing him.After two more glasses of wine, the old Taoist of Qinghe blushed even more, and his mouth was even more incomprehensible. After chatting nonsense, he unknowingly brought it to the Qing Palace of his teacher, only listening to the old Taoist boasting : "The way of going to the Qing palace at the humble gate is really unpredictable! Although old and dull, but I have studied the art for many years, but I have a little bit of knowledge. Not to mention the trivial things like astrology, talismans, and talismans to clean the house. It's not a problem to take a monster to surrender a monster or something!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as this remark came out, the member Zhu who had been making jokes at the side stood up abruptly, moved his fat body and quickly left the table, and bowed respectfully to Qinghe, Sincerely pleaded:

"To tell you the truth, I have invited the elder to come here today because I want to ask for something--the noble sect's Shangqing palace has profound Taoism and the ability to subdue dragons and tigers. This is a monster, and today I want to beg the fairy elder to show mercy, and use the magic method of the Qing Palace to subdue that monster!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanwai's words, the hand of the proud old Qinghe, who was holding a wine glass and preparing to pour wine into his mouth, suddenly stopped stiffly in mid-air——Zhu Yuanwai's words were just like The ladle of snow water poured from the top of the sun bone in June, the old Dao Qinghe, who was half or six drunk, sobered up immediately!
At this time, the old Taoist shouted in his heart that it was not good, and he said in his heart that the 60-year-old mother had spoiled her child, and now she let herself have a grand banquet!It's ridiculous that I thought it was a good job, but I didn't expect to pick up a hot potato!While annoyed, he glanced at Zhu Yuanwai, and saw that his fat face was full of piety.Seeing this situation, the old Taoist thought that the owner of Mihang, who was used to doing business, was really cunning. First, he ate good wine and good food, held them in good words, flattered himself in a fog, and boasted about the vast sea Well, when things don't end well, it's really hard to refuse to make such a plea again.

It's just that Zhu Yuanwai is old and spicy, but this old-fashioned Qinghe is not a young stubble.Although the old Taoist complained in his heart that the old man Zhu invited him to this Hongmen banquet, his face was blushing and his heart was not beating. He straightened his expression and said solemnly to Zhu Yuanwai:

"Yuanwai's words are wrong! From my point of view, the prosperity in Raozhou City is peaceful, how can there be any monsters! I think all kinds of monsters come from the heart. My elders from the Shangqing School once taught, saying: 'There is This demon? It’s a trick of the mind; it’s not this demon? It’s an illusion of the mind.’——Zhu Yuanwai, the so-called ghosts are all illusions; but empty your heart, everything will perish! "

Old Taoist Qinghe and Zhu Yuanwai put on a show to make a fool of himself, but when Xingyan saw it, he knew that the old boy was discouraged and just wanted to get away with it.Xingyan laughed secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that when this old Taoist usually asked for Fu Kan's house, he would speak in a precise and orderly manner, with a dignified and dignified appearance; Ask for forgiveness.But although he secretly laughed in his heart, but at the moment he and he are just grasshoppers on the same rope, after thinking about it, he was about to cover up a few words for the old Taoist, but he heard Zhu Yuanwai and Qinghe answer:
"The Taoist leader doesn't know something, although it is said that the monster is from the heart, but the monster in the poor house really exists!" Hearing this, the hearts of the old Taoist and Xingyan, old and young, jumped.Just listen to the member who wished to continue: "About half a month ago, there was no peace in the humble house. During the day, there were often tiles and stones thrown in the sky, and at night, there were ghosts and ghosts, making noise. Occasionally, no one was there. , but it will suddenly catch fire...Anyway, all kinds of weird things make the family restless! I also ask the fairy elder to show mercy and save me, I wish the whole family!"

Zhu Yuanwai's words made the two people, young and old, who were only here to make some extra money, feel chills in their hearts. "Yes! That monster is so scary..." It was Zhu Wencai, the stunned son of Zhu Yuanwai, who interjected, but just after he said this, his father stared back.Hearing the word "terrible", the old Taoist's face turned pale.After a short pause, Xingyan saw that the atmosphere was a bit cold, so he interjected and asked: "This... this monster has been here for more than half a month, so why haven't you invited any Taoist priests or mages?" Every time he goes out on stage, he will be put on an old Taoist robe.It's just that although Xingyan is also dressed in Taoist clothes, he never regards himself as a Taoist priest.Hearing what he said, Zhu Yuanwai didn't notice anything wrong for a while, and just answered the words:
"Of course I invite you! I've even invited Daoist Wang Panwang of Sanqing Mountain in Poyang County—" "What's the result?"

Although they knew the answer was not good, the young and old still hoped for a miracle to happen, so they asked urgently at the same time. "Ah! Failed." "There are all sorts of weird things in this house, but it's still chaotic. For some reason, Daoist Wang has been sick since he came to the house to subdue demons that day, and he is still in bed. His A few days ago, disciples of the sect came to me to fight in front of Mi Xing all day long, and lost a lot of medical money, so they ended up clean in front of the sect!"

Although he didn't say anything about the strangeness, Qinghe Xingyan and the two felt his hair stand on end when hearing these words——

You must know that Taoist Wang Pan of Sanqing Mountain is the most outstanding person in Zuo Jin's line of work.So the old man's complexion suddenly turned pale, and he just said nonsense:
"Ahem... this, this matter of subduing monsters and catching monsters... By the way, this matter of subduing monsters and catching monsters was not a problem at first, but when the family members of your family came to invite them today, they only said that they were asking for Fu Jingzhai, So Pindao walked in a hurry, and the magic weapon used to subdue demons forgot to bring it——

"It's better to wait for Pindao to go back first, get enough magic tools for subduing demons, and come back tomorrow!" Hearing this, Xingyan couldn't help but secretly praised:

"Wonderful! Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy!" After working closely together so many times, I know the family background of this Qinghe veteran. How can I see any magic weapon that is very useful?This is obviously a false shot, if you want to learn from the Han Lord Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet, you will walk away with oil on your feet!What "come back tomorrow" and so on, that's all nonsense!Xingyan dares to bet that the old Taoist has just left the front foot, so he must go out quietly for a wandering, or go to Poyang Lake to buy fresh goods, or go to Sanqing Mountain to visit a sick fellow Taoist, no matter what he does, Raozhou City will never find him again This number!

However, the so-called "dao is one foot high, and the devil is one foot high", outside the Zhu Yuan who planned this Hongmen Banquet, some mages finally fell into the trap, and how could they repeat the mistakes of the Chu Overlord? The door moved, and immediately he grabbed the old man's sleeve and shouted:
"The Immortal Elder must save lives! The villain's family is in dire straits right now, and they can't bear it for a day! I also hope that Dao Changfa will show mercy and save my family. As for the magic weapon that I forgot to bring, Dao Priest Don't worry, if there is any magic weapon to make a list, I will quickly ask the servant to go and get it according to the order, and I dare not let the immortal Chang Yuzhi bother me any more!"

Seeing Zhu Yuanwai's anxious appearance, it seems that the monster really disturbed Zhu's house.As far as he was concerned, since the incident with the Daoist Wang Pan of Sanqing Mountain, there had been very few people so far, and he had managed to catch a sorcerer to come to his door today, so naturally he would not let him go away so easily.

Seeing that he wished members of the staff to stay firmly, the old Daoist Qinghe felt a little confused.At this moment, his attendant wakes up and speaks out: "Excuse me for talking too much, Mr. Zhu, I really don't understand one thing. The weirdness you mentioned, it is obvious that the monster is very violent, and will throw it during the day. Bricks and tiles are thrown, but why until now, everything in the expensive house is normal, and there is still no movement?"

"Huh?... That's true!" After hearing the young man's words, Zhu Yuanwai remembered that the monster was still messing around in the house in the morning, but since the old and the young came to the door, the house has been bright and bright. Everyone just kept to themselves and didn't even make a sound.Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanwai wondered in his heart:
"Strange! Could it be that this Qinghe old Taoist really has some skills? This may be true. Considering that the Shangqing palace is famous all over the world, there must be hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the door. It's extraordinary!"

Zhu Yuanwai's thoughts showed that he invited Qinghe to go to the doctor in a hurry today, and he just treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor.I didn't expect that monster to be so abnormal today, and would no longer come out to make trouble—but this is not a good thing for Qinghe Xingyan. It has become a hopeful living straw.

Just as Zhu Yuanwai was overjoyed, he heard the Taoist Master Qinghe say: "Well! What my apprentice said just now made sense! You see that there is nothing weird about your house until now. Zhu Yuanwai, don't tease the poor! Just like the poor As Dao said before, how can there be monsters in this Raozhou City? Monsters are born from the heart, and monsters are born from the heart! The old Taoist is about to leave!"

The old man Qinghe was only thinking about slipping away now, and by waking up to say that he had finished speaking just now, he immediately stood up and wanted to leave.

"Ah! Immortal Elder, please stay!" Seeing that the life-saving straw was about to float, Zhu Yuanwai hurriedly stopped it.But at this moment, the old Taoist no longer cared about pretending to be moral. Seeing Zhu Yuanwai obstructing him, he was quite displeased: "I said Zhu Yuanwai! What are you going to do when you obstruct him like this? Could it be that the noble mansion must conjure up a monster today?" Let me catch it?"

Hearing the old Taoist's serious words, Zhu Yuanwai was just like an ant on a hot pot, and secretly complained, complaining that the monster in his house was so well-behaved, and could also look at the direction of the wind, and when he saw an expert here, he was as quiet as usual. Don't come out to have fun.Seeing that this expert rescuer is about to leave, Zhu Yuanwai couldn't help crying.When faced with this dilemma, I weighed it up, and Zhu Yuanwai felt that he couldn't care too much now, so Dang even became ruthless, and shouted loudly:
"At this point, there is no other way! I have to use that trick!"
