Chapter 248 Paying the Stall
Rustling sound.
Birds and beasts are chirping, and leaves are falling.
After a while, a group of people on horseback got off their horses and strode into the dilapidated temple.
"Brothers in the religion, there is no news after we chase him here, and we don't know whether he is dead or alive."
"Master Yu's Blue Bird, the final summons was also sent here."
Listening to the words of the congregants beside him, the leader leaned down and touched the ground, picked up the ashes on the ground, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.
"Ashes?"
Make a seal with your hands, step on the Gang Dou Steps, and mutter something.
"The soul is back!"
The sealing finger pointed in front of the temple, and the spiritual light turned into a dot, like the light of fireflies blending into the space in front of him.
Only a faint ripple appeared in front of him.
However, there was no sound except the evening breeze.
The rest of the people did not dare to breathe, for fear of affecting the magic of the immortal master in the sect.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
They didn't dare to speak out. Maybe the spell might work or not. If they spoke at this time, wouldn't they hit the edge of the knife, for fear that they would live too long?
The broad-mouthed spellcaster looked at the congregation beside him.
"Is there anything for the helmsman?"
The person next to me quickly handed over a cage.
"Since ordinary spiritualism is of no use, we can only use spiritualism." The caster pulled out the blue bird and strangled it to death. He rubbed his fingers and blood flowed out of the bird's beak and fell into the hands of the caster. .
Dip two fingers together in blood, take out the blank yellow talisman, and draw the talisman with the blue bird's blood in the air.
"It's disgusting to summon souls and curse living beings."
"The soul is back!"
A flash of spiritual light hit the talisman, and the fire ignited, turning into threads as if trying to outline something.
But all I saw was black mist filling the air, and the coldness coming.
"soul……"
Before he could finish his words, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The monk who cast the spell immediately fell to the ground unconscious.
"Immortal Master, Immortal Master..."
"Master Immortal, what's wrong with you?"
The congregants around him were so frightened that they hurriedly came over and helped the monk up, but they didn't know what to do.
"What should the helmsman do now?"
"Let's go, let's take the Immortal Master back first. It's okay if we can't find Captain Yu's soul. The superiors have said that there is no need to capture Qin Zongshi's family members."
…
A night of silence.
Huaifeng has not yet woken up in the early morning.
The rising sun shines and lifts the light mist away, revealing the true face of Mount Lu in Huaifeng City.
After working for half the night, Tu Shanjun has used magic to seal Zhu Po Long's body watertightly, and also sealed all his breath into the soul flag to prevent the powerful Yin God from affecting Zhu Po Long's body.
Since he has made up his mind to live there for a while, Tushanjun naturally hopes that this body can be used for a longer time.
As soon as Tu Shanjun came downstairs, he happened to see Li San leading another salesman-looking man to Uncle Zhou's inn.
Li San, who had steamed buns stuffed in his mouth, saw Tu Shanjun walking down the stairs at a glance.
He quickly took out the steamed buns in his mouth, stuffed them into the cloth pocket in his arms, wiped the residue from the corners of his mouth, wiped his hands with his clothes, and came up to greet him: "Master Tao, are you going out?"
"I want to find a courtyard where I can live for a long time. Is there anyone with a courtyard in this city?"
"Yes, I will take you there."
After hearing this, Tu Shanjun was about to take the money bag when he saw Li San hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "No need to give more, you gave too much last time."
‘Not greedy for money? ’ Tushanjun didn’t insist on giving it.
…
"Taoist Priest, this courtyard with two entrances was originally the property of Huang Yuan's wife's family."
"Huang Yuanwai's family moved to the capital and became idle."
"If you want to rent, the original price should be four taels per month. Li Laizi will give you a guarantee, and I will subtract one point for you. Seeing that you look good, I will subtract two points and charge you four taels." Long face, wearing a square scarf The tooth man, wrapped in a hat, twirled his mustache.
"Zhang Yazi, are you trying to fool me? This courtyard has nothing but a bigger space. How can we get four taels? In my opinion, three taels is enough."
"I think you are sincere and introduced the Taoist Priest to you. If you are so bluffing, you might as well let the Taoist Priest stay at Uncle Zhou's inn."
"It just so happens that the other side is Uncle Zhou's inn."
Li San pointed to the opposite side of the stream, which was the inn that the Zhou family and his wife were looking after.
After some negotiation, the price was finally settled on three taels, and Tu Shanjun happily paid the rent.
Of course, it was Li San who was slashing in front.
If Tushanjun takes action, he will probably pay the original price without any trouble.
Although this place agrees with Tu Shanjun's wishes, it does not mean that Tu Shanjun is willing to be taken advantage of. Li San happens to be the one to take the blame, and he is happy to be clean.
Huaifeng has a dense water network and a well-developed water system, so even within the city, there are streams crisscrossing the city, dividing different streets, and finally converging into the main river that runs through it.
If you don't want to walk in the city, you can take a car or boat.
Tu Shanjun was not interested in wandering around the city. He stood on the arch bridge and looked around, thinking about where to set up a stall.
"Master Tao, you want to find someone to accompany you. If you feel that the hidden door is not satisfactory, whose daughter has excellent oral skills, whose widow has plump taste, or who is a beautiful woman, or a young lady who has not yet left the court, I know it all .”
"By the way, the nunnery on the mountain is also unique."
"Master Dao, where do you plan to go first?"
"Hold on." Tu Shanjun quickly told Li San to shut up. The more he spoke, the more nonsense he got.
While feeling a little helpless, I couldn't help but chuckle.
Not to mention his appearance, he just borrowed the body of Zhu Polong.
Even his original form probably wouldn't be able to do those things.
Moreover, mortal women could not bear the conquests of monks and would easily end up killing people, so it was better to look for monks.
There is such an industry in the big city of Xiushifang City, not to mention the Hehuan Sect, which is the leader among them.
Thinking of the Hehuan Sect, Tu Shanjun couldn't help but think: "The Hehuan Sect won't accept ghost cultivators, right?"
…
Push away the strange and confusing thoughts that pop up in your mind.
In the end, Tushanjun chose a site near the inn.
Set up a stall.
The vertical white banners are written in ink: "Find objects, catch ghosts, capture demons, deliver salvation, perform rituals."
Originally, Tu Shanjun planned to write about fortune-telling and fortune-telling, but after recalling what he had learned, he found that he had little experience in fortune-telling.
The talisman array has a multi-numerical technique. It is very simple to use the numerical technique to find objects. Tu Shanjun has not tried using it to tell fortunes.
As for the remaining ones, they are probably all special skills.
Tushanjun also figured out that if he was wandering around the city aimlessly, it would be better to find a corresponding job and wait for the opportunity.
Otherwise, his suspicious level might attract the attention of Huaifeng officials, and it would be troublesome if he was mistaken for a kidnapper.
Although ordinary warriors could not do anything to him, if the government mobilized troops to drive him away, he would have no choice but to leave.
Since I have such leisure time, I just need to prepare an improved prescription to dilute the Yingyue Dan Liquid.
…
On the street side of the restaurant on the other side of the river, two figures were revealed through the raised windows.
"Brother Han, if that person is really an expert, aren't we too obvious?" Zhou Qiang just picked up the tea bowl and put it down again.
This morning, I drank seven or eight cups of morning tea, which made my stomach bloated.
"Weird." Han An frowned.
He observed again today with the spirit officer's eyes, and this time he couldn't even see the aura. Not to mention the ghostly wind, ghosts, fog, and roaring ghosts we saw last night.
To say that he was wrong is absolutely impossible.
"Ah Qiang, please be more careful, don't provoke him, and don't let others offend him."
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Han An could only tell Zhou Qiang this way in the end.
You can't just drive someone away just because they are suspicious.
And judging from his cultivation, he is definitely no match, and he is afraid that he will only bring humiliation to himself.
Now, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and everything is peaceful, which makes Chief Huaifeng Han An breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother Han, don't worry."
Tushanjun had already noticed those two looks and didn't pay much attention to them.
…
"Three pennies for finding things, one or two for catching ghosts and demons, and performing religious rituals...the price is extra."
"If there is..."
"If you have any other needs, please consult for details." Tu Shanjun added the rest of his words, then took away the bamboo slip that blocked his face, and looked at the lean young man in short clothes and gray face who stood under the white cloth flag and read the above text.
"What does the donor want?"
As the saying goes, if you don't have hair on your lips, you can't do things well. Looking at Tushanjun's desolate appearance and wearing a black monk's robe, I really can't trust him.
But that person seemed a little sneaky.
He took out a jade pendant soaked with blood from his arms and said, "Taoist priest, where did this jade pendant come from?"
The desolate Taoist in black robe glanced at the jade pendant, pinched his fingers to count, and his face suddenly looked strange.
"Donor, I'm afraid this thing will set you on fire." The old god Tushanjun was here.
The young man was stunned and sighed: "I'm really confused. How can I figure this out?"
"Taoist Master, you may be able to deceive others with your words, but I am not afraid."
The lean young man said as he put the jade pendant into his arms, stood up and hurriedly got into the crowd.
Tushanjun didn't care about losing three pennies.
This jade pendant is stained with evil spirits, and it looks like something dug out of the ground. It may have provoked a counterattack from the ghost.
When they go to explore again, it will be the day they die.
The lean young man who got into the crowd first went to a mutton soup shop to have a hearty meal. After wiping his mouth, he wandered into the alley until he arrived in front of a house. He shook the jade pendant in his arms and grinned suddenly.
"Ma Yuan, what good thing can make you laugh out loud?"
"Hey, brother, I don't know. When I passed by Fenghua Street today, I had nothing to do and let someone look at the jade pendant."
"He couldn't even understand the jade pendant. Instead, he told me seriously that this thing would set him on fire." Ma Yuan stepped across the threshold and laughed with the young man who opened the door.
Although they are in this business with their heads in their belts, as long as they are fully prepared, no monsters can kill them.
What's more, the large tomb has been explored clearly, and there is no big problem.
"The world is declining, the court is in turmoil, and there are many more crooks and swindlers."
"Without further ado, we are leaving tonight..."
The second chapter will be updated tomorrow. I was not satisfied with what I wrote, so I deleted, deleted, and found that there was not enough. Then, I thought about it and completed it.
There must be foreshadowing in the writing, otherwise the plot will be written in a blank manner, which will be dry and abrupt.
As for the update problem, everyone can see that Lingshan is trying its best to restore the update.
How should I put it, it should be in the rehabilitation stage.
