Maoshan Taoist priest

Chapter 27 Banquet (3)
Chen Shaoxian asked someone to fetch a basin of clean water for Zhuo's father to wash his face.After Zhuo's father washed it off, the water stains on his skin disappeared, but after a while, another layer oozed out.

Chen Shaoxian asked Zhuo's father to sit down, and took out a small cosmetic box from his luggage, which contained red cinnabar like ink pad.Use the small brush inside to mark a red dot on Zhuo's father's seal.

After putting down the box, Chen Shaoxian stretched out his left hand, pressed against Zhuo's forehead like a brain collapse, and said softly: "The altar is clear and clean, the soul is peaceful, the three souls are eternal, and the seven souls are invincible." After finishing speaking, he ruthlessly He flicked his middle finger out, just hitting the cinnabar on the Yintang.

With a bang, a faint mist flew out from the back of Zhuo's father's head, and then he fell to the ground.Zheng Lei and Zhuo Junfan rushed up to help, but after they held Zhuo's father's hand, they felt that their hand slipped, and a layer of skin was pulled off Zhuo's father's hand.The two screamed in fright.

Chen Shaoxian was taken aback by the screams of the two, and said to them angrily: "What's your name, what's your name. See clearly that they are shouting, save some energy for the bridal chamber."

The two blushed when Chen Shaoxian said it, and then they carefully looked at the things in their hands. The things in their hands were slippery and sticky, a bit like solid glue, but the color was transparent.

Help Zhuo's father up, leaving a puddle of water on the ground where Zhuo's father fell down.

After Zhuo's father got up, he felt some churning in his stomach, and hurried to the bathroom to vomit, spitting out foul-smelling sewage.

After Zhuo's father came back, his face regained some color, his paleness was gone, and his eyes were much clearer.

Seeing Zhuo's father's appearance, the Zhuo family felt a layer of hope in their hearts, and they all felt much better.

Zheng Lei pulled Chen Shaoxian and asked, "Shaoxian, what is this membrane?"

"Membrane is what is produced after corpse water enters the body. It will become thicker and thicker. It is estimated that in a few days, the whole person will be completely wrapped and turned into a cocoon. This is the first time I have seen this thing." Chen Shaoxian looked serious said.

Then he used this method to visit the whole Zhuo family, old and young.

Therefore, the Zhuo family went to the bathroom together and had a family chorus. For a while, the Zhuo family smelled fishy.When it was the turn of the two Taoists, Chen Shaoxian found that they were much lighter than the Zhuo family, and probably had some ways to protect themselves, so he made some arrangements in his mind.

Seeing that Chen Shaoxian made a move, the two healed themselves. At that time, they wanted to kowtow to worship their teacher, but Chen Shaoxian refused.

After everything was over, Chen Shaoxian leaned back on the chair with a tired expression on his face.

When everyone came to the lobby, Chen Shaoxian unpacked his luggage and gave everyone a talisman.The Zhuo family saw that he was finally not a ghost or a ghost, and he was very happy, so everyone in the Zhuo family wanted to kowtow to Chen Shaoxian, after all, it was a life-saving grace.He was stopped by Chen Shaoxian and told Zhuo's family that this was just the beginning, and it was only a temporary solution but not a root cause.

Chen Shaoxian asked the names of two Taoist priests, one was Zhang Xinming and the other was Zhang Xinyi. They were brothers who had learned some skills in the Southern Zong Ziyang School.

Chen Shaoxian nodded, and wrote a list for Zhang Xinyi to take a few people there, telling Zhang Xinyi that all the above items must be bought.

He also asked Zheng Lei to take Zhuo Junfan and Zheng Ruirui to go shopping. He had to buy more food and drinking water, and he also had to go to the pharmacy to grab some medicinal materials for invigorating yang energy, which made Zheng Lei startled.

As soon as Chen Shaoxian saw this guy's expression, he knew he was thinking wrong, and said contemptuously, "It's for nourishing yang, not aphrodisiac."

Zhuo Junfan sneakily pinched Zheng Lei several times.Zheng Lei grinned and led the two away.

Chen Shaoxian told Zhuo's family to replace all the cooking utensils and tableware with new ones. Chen Shaoxian was selfish about this, after all, Zhuo's cooking utensils had stewed human flesh, and Chen Shaoxian would not dare to eat the rice made from these things.

The second is to open all the windows for ventilation, the third is to dispose of the sewage in the swimming pool, and the fourth is to use the soap brought by Chen Shaoxian and burn all the changed clothes after all the work is done.

In this way, the Zhuo family started to get busy, and their movements were very quick, without the half-dead look at first. After all, everyone saw the hope of living.

Chen Shaoxian also took advantage of this effort to take a good rest for a while.

After the Zhuo family finished their work, Chen Shaoxian opened his eyes and felt that his strength had recovered a bit, so he asked the Zhuo family to prepare two copper basins, put burning charcoal in them, close the windows of all the rooms, and open all the doors.

After getting ready, Chen Shaoxian ordered the Zhuo family to put one copper basin in the hall and the other in the empty swimming pool, and then asked the Zhuo family to retreat to the courtyard.He took out two tea boxes by himself, opened one of them, and poured all the powder inside into the copper basin in the hall. The copper basin was full of red-burning charcoal, and when the powder entered, a thick white smoke came out. Coming out, the whole hall was quickly filled with the smell of mugwort, and then Chen Shaoxian also withdrew.

Chen Shaoxian, who retreated to the courtyard, took out another one and poured it into the copper basin in the swimming pool, and the entire Zhuo family quickly filled with smoke.

As the smoke in the courtyard cleared, the Zhuo family found that the smell in the courtyard was gone.There were discussions, but no one dared to disturb Chen Shaoxian.

Chen Shaoxian counted the time, half an hour later, Chen Shaoxian ordered Zhuo's family to open all the windows in the house again.When the smoke and dust in the room cleared, the entire Zhuo family no longer had a trace of fishy smell, and there was even a faint fragrance, which made people feel refreshed.

Chen Shaoxian asked Zhuo's father: "Uncle, how much of the things you used last time are left?"

Zhuo's father hurriedly asked his family to carry the leftovers to Chen Shaoxian.

Chen Shaoxian was delighted to see things, and he thought it was not enough, so he probably could build a house for the Zhuo family.So they arranged for the Zhuo family to spread a layer of incense ash on the ground like last time.Chen Shaoxian distributed a lot of small mirrors for Zhuo's family to hang on the door.

At this time, the three of Zheng Lei came back, and there was a truck behind them. Look at this, the supermarket has moved to the house. It is estimated that this guy wants to fight a protracted war.After Zheng Lei got off the car, he asked the unloading workers to move into the house one by one.Then I asked for the bought medicinal materials.

Chen Shaoxian took the medicinal materials, poured all the charcoal fire from one copper basin into another copper basin, poured the medicinal materials directly into it without brushing, poured water according to the proportion, and placed it directly on the copper basin in the swimming pool.

Zheng Lei came over and asked: "Shaoxian, how do you boil medicine in a copper basin? Isn't metal the most afraid of when boiling medicine?"

Chen Shaoxian smiled and explained: "In the prescription I made, there is wood, earth, fire and water, so there is less gold, so I use a copper basin." bowl.

After everyone finished drinking, Chen Shaoxian went to the gate to smoke, and laughed badly while smoking. The others didn't know what Chen Shaoxian was going to do, so they didn't dare to go there.

In just one cigarette, the Zhuo family's stomach started to growl. I don't know who it was, and they farted. Afterwards, the Zhuo family held a concert after the chorus. The embarrassed Zhuo family's face was straight red.

At this time, Chen Shaoxian was at the door, and shouted with a smile: "No one is allowed to enter the house, all are left outside." After he remembered something, he added: "None of you come here."

The three of Zheng Lei walked up to Chen Shaoxian with dark faces and said, "You knew this earlier, why didn't you ask us to come out."

Chen Shaoxian curled his lips and said: "You are stupid, why don't you come out even if I come out." Suddenly felt a pain in the waist, looked down, and saw Zheng Ruirui's small hand pinching her waist and turning it around.

Chen Shaoxian quickly opened it, rubbed his waist and said, "The yin energy in Zhuo's family is too heavy, give them some medicine to invigorate yang energy, so that they can expel the yin energy from their bodies."

Suddenly Chen Shaoxian's expression changed, he pointed to the door and said, "Where's that car?"

Zheng Lei said: "This car was still there when we left, and the other group of people must have not driven this car away, but they really didn't pay attention when they came back."

After hearing Zheng Lei's words, Chen Shaoxian nodded and said nothing.

Back in the yard, I saw the Zhuo family standing there with flushed faces looking at me.

Chen Shaoxian happily said to Zhuo's father, "Uncle, you feel much better."

Father Zhuo nodded in embarrassment, and didn't have the slightest intention to speak.

So Chen Shaoxian ordered Zhuo's family to leave some medicinal soup for Zhang Xinyi and his group, and then pour the rest of the medicinal soup into the toilets, every toilet should pour some.Then arrange for Zhuo's family to cook, just boil porridge and do nothing else.

After Zhang Xinyi's group came back, Chen Shaoxian asked them to drink up the medicine. After drinking the medicine, Chen Shaoxian told Zhang Xinyi to go outside the courtyard gate and not come back until they finished their work. They walked out of the door with doubts. After a while, several people left and came back with flushed faces.

After the porridge was ready, Chen Shaoxian asked Zhuo's family to take out a pot and put it at the gate.Ask Zhang Xinyi to bring the chicken he bought.Everyone else stood inside the door and looked at Chen Shaoxian.

Chen Shaoxian drew an imaginary circle around the porridge bowl with branches, then chopped off the chicken head, and poured all the chicken blood into the bowl.After finishing these tasks, Chen Shaoxian quickly withdrew.

At this time, the Zhuo family inside the door felt as if something ran past them, bringing up gusts of wind, the wind gradually gathered around the copper basin, and began to revolve around the copper basin. There were countless voids in the wind. Shadow, shadowy rustling sound, this sound makes people feel uneasy.

Chen Shaoxian tapped the copper basin three times with a branch, and said to the wind: "Zhuo's family opened an altar to give out porridge, I hope you all leave quickly after eating." After speaking, he knocked three more times.

At the same time as the knocking was over, all the surrounding wind plunged into the copper basin, and the blood in the copper basin, as if being sucked away by something, quickly exposed the porridge inside, and then the water in the porridge seemed to be sucked away. Like being sucked away, it dries up quickly and becomes burnt yellow in an instant.Even the copper basins are much worn out,
Chen Shaoxian kept looking at the situation inside the copper basin, saw that there were dry rice grains left in the copper basin, and immediately asked Zhang Xinyi to bring the paper money he bought, lighted it and threw it into the copper basin, and then said to the wind: "The Zhuo family opened an altar to distribute their wealth, I hope everyone will leave quickly after receiving the money."

The wind seemed to understand Chen Shaoxian's words, and formed a whirlwind in the basin. The strange thing was that the whirlwind only rolled the burnt black ash into the sky, but did not stir up a single spark.After a while, the paper money in the copper basin was burned out.

The wind stopped suddenly, but the rustling was still there.

Chen Shaoxian took a bottle of white wine and dropped it around the copper basin. The bottle shattered and the wine in it splashed everywhere, and the wine seemed to come alive. It quickly covered the ground around the copper basin and formed a circle. This range is exactly the size of the imaginary circle Chen Shaoxian drew with the branches.

Suddenly, the wine that covered the ground was divided into countless small pieces, and these small pieces began to condense, forming footprints of different sizes and shapes on the ground.

Chen Shaoxian took out a short stick of incense that was as long as a matchstick from his bosom, lit it and stood it on the ground like this, the stick of incense shook and stood on the ground.

Chen Shaoxian saw Xiangli standing on the ground, and said to those footprints: "The porridge is finished, the wealth is gone, everyone leave quickly." After speaking, he stared at the footprints formed by the wine on the ground.

As soon as Chen Shaoxian finished speaking, some footprints scattered into wine again. As the footprints disappeared one by one, the wine joined together again after a while, leaving only the last few relatively large footprints.

Chen Shaoxian looked at the incense sticks on the ground, thinking that there was still a quarter left, so he took out a piece of altar wood from his pocket, and slammed it hard on the ground, and the last few footprints disappeared.

Heaving a sigh of relief, he took out a match and lit the wine on the ground. After the fire was extinguished, he quickly withdrew to the courtyard regardless of the copper basin on the ground.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he ordered Zhuo's family to close the gate and sealed the entire gate with the yellow cloth he bought.

Zheng Lei walked up to Chen Shaoxian and asked, "Shaoxian, what happened just now?"

Chen Shaoxian lit a cigarette and said, "The Zhuo family's yin energy is very heavy, which attracts a lot of unclean things. After feeding these things, we can send them away."

Zheng Lei asked suspiciously: "Aren't they coming back?"

Chen Shaoxian smiled: "These things are very trustworthy, and they won't come back when they leave. They are much better than people."

At this time, Zhang Xinyi came over and asked: "Mr. Chen just asked about the Yin Zhu for the incense stick just now. I heard that asking about the Yin Zhu can tell the meaning of ghosts and gods."

Chen Shaoxian nodded and said: "It's not as mysterious as you said. It's just a matter of negotiation. If it falls down, then fight. If it stands, it's peace. If it burns out, then each will go his own way. In fact, it's perfectly fine just now. Don't worry about the last few things, but I'm afraid of accidents, so I used the altar wood to scare them away."

"By the way, Zhang Xinyi, I'll give you the Dao Talisman. You and Zhang Xinming should paint all the mirrors in the Zhuo family. Don't make any mistakes. Cover them with cloth after painting." Chen Shaoxian instructed Zhang Xinyi to say.

Zhang Xinyi took the talisman and hurriedly greeted his brother, and the two began to get busy.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zheng Lei pulled Chen Shaoxian and said in a low voice, "Shaoxian, explain the truth to your brother first, and how confident you are in resolving this matter."

Chen Shaoxian shook his head and said: "This incident is too weird. Do you still remember that thing in the daytime? I didn't dare to say it at the time, for fear of scaring Zheng Ruirui and the others. That thing is a corpse. You have heard the story of being a slave to a tiger. The tiger ate it." The human queen, the human soul will follow the tiger to do evil, and the thing is the same, so it is called the corpse, and the Zhuo family didn't ask us to help, what brought us here. We don't know these things."

After taking a deep puff on the cigarette, Chen Shaoxian continued: "Whether you can solve the mystery or not, just watch tonight. And you have to be optimistic about Zheng Ruirui and Zhuo Junfan. Don't trust Zhuo's family, at least not tonight." I got Zheng Lei a gossip mirror.Tell Zheng Lei how to use the gossip mirror.

As night fell, the Zhuo family began to get nervous.

Chen Shaoxian looked at the sky, and asked Zhuo's family to take off all the curtains and seal the whole window with a yellow cloth.After they were all busy, Chen Shaoxian asked everyone to gather in a relatively large bedroom and told them that they would all be in this room tonight.Zhuo's family was very happy, because they felt safe in the same room with Chen Shaoxian.

He ordered people to bring in the copper basin for burning charcoal. The charcoal fire had already been extinguished, leaving only thick charcoal ash. He put the things he needed at hand and told everyone that they could take a nap now and that they had to get up before midnight.After finishing speaking, he didn't care about others, fell to the ground and fell asleep.

There was only the sound of panting in the whole room, except for Chen Shaoxian who was already asleep, everyone else was staring at the wall clock.

Chen Shaoxian stretched himself, which surprised everyone else.

Glancing at the people around him, he scratched his head and asked, "You all haven't rested yet?"

"Who is as heartless as you." Zheng Ruirui replied sullenly.

The others had the same expressions, and they seemed to agree with Zheng Ruirui's words.

Chen Shaoxian checked the time, at 45:[-], he lit a cigarette.Take out the small box containing cinnabar, and give everyone a little bit on the eyebrows, earlobe and throat.

It was twelve o'clock at this time, and suddenly the entire Zhuo family, there was a faint singing sound.Even though Chen Shaoxian was full from sleep, his eyelids still fought when he heard the sound.

Chen Shaoxian quickly took out a gong that he had prepared in his bag, and knocked it loudly.

With the sound of the gong, the drowsiness disappeared. Chen Shaoxian looked at the others. Fortunately, no one fell asleep, but the sound of the gong made him very energetic, and his eyes were wide open. Chen Shaoxian.

Chen Shaoxian handed the gong to Zhang Xinyi and told him to start knocking if he heard the sound.

At this time, there was a hissing sound in the corridor, a bit like the sound of a fuze being ignited.Chen Shaoxian knew that the Lord was coming, the sound got closer and closer, but disappeared at the door.

When the sound disappeared, gusts of white gas came in from the crack of the door. When the gas came into contact with the incense ash on the ground, it made a hissing sound. The incense ash on the ground sparked like ignited cotton.

As the white gas approached, a fishy smell rushed over.

Chen Shaoxian put the copper basin in front of him, and asked others to come behind him.He took out the box containing mugwort powder, poured all the mugwort inside into a copper basin, poured some wine to make it, and lit it with a match.

The white gas on the ground slowly slipped into the copper basin as if attracted by the flame in the copper basin.

At the moment of contact with this gas, the flame in the copper basin suddenly increased, making a sizzling sound, and the fishy smell in the room became much weaker.Chen Shaoxian slowly pushed the copper basin towards the door, stopping at a distance where the white gas could flow into the copper basin as soon as it entered the room.

Greeting Zhang Xinming, Chen Shaoxian took out a box of mugwort powder and threw it to him, and told him to sprinkle some into the basin if the flame was small, and never let the fire in the basin go out.

He took out a Chinese ink pen and drew a talisman on the door, took the altar wood, and slammed it on the door.The talisman on the door rattled, and the red cinnabar instantly turned scorched black.

Chen Shaoxian turned around and told the people in the room: "No one of you is allowed to go out unless I call you." After speaking, he nodded to Zheng Lei.

He picked up the kitchen knife that killed chickens during the day, stepped on a backpack, opened the door and walked out.

The strange thing is that there is nothing at the door, only a strong fishy smell, and the ground of the entire corridor has become scorched black.

Chen Shaoxian sealed the door behind him with ink fountain thread, and walked downstairs with a knife in his hand.

The incense ash on the ground was burned to the point of skin, and there was a rustling sound when stepped on it, and turned and went downstairs, only to find that the whole hall was filled with mist, and there was a faint fragrance.

The mist kept pouring out from the kitchen, Chen Shaoxian went to the kitchen, and saw something was cooking on the stove, steam was bubbling out non-stop.

He walked over, picked up the lid of the pot with a knife, and looked inside.Even though Chen Shaoxian was very courageous, he was also taken aback by the contents inside, and almost threw the knife in his hand. What was stewed inside was a man's head, and the head kept rolling in the pot.

When the head was turned over, Chen Shaoxian saw the hollow eye sockets of the head, and suddenly remembered the corpse in the daytime, and this head belonged to that corpse.
