Chapter 5, Jianghu deception?
Old Man Wang’s father is an old pilgrimage from Qinglongguan. Inviting Taoist Master Qinglongguan to do a ritual behind him must be the request of Old Man Wang’s father. If it were not for the sake of filial piety, who would have been willing to climb such a high mountain to invite him?
It also requires talismans to do rituals, but for a while, there was no ritual. Yang Chenyu had not painted talismans in this area before, so he brought whisk, yellow paper, cinnabar, and brush to follow Wang De down the mountain, preparing to appear and draw a few talismans to use when he arrived at the ground.
Of course, Yang Chenyu was not ready to use his magic power to describe the talismans. Before painting the clear water talisman, he felt a little weak. Although he had become a river god, he was just because he became a river god and his grade was quite low, and his magic power was really low.
Then there are no less than dozens of talismans needed before and after the practice. If they are all equipped with magic power, I am afraid that I will not be able to squeeze my life out.
Going down the mountain to Fengming Town made Yang Chenyu feel like he suddenly became a different life. After staying on the mountain for a long time, this situation will always occur.
When I arrived at the Wang family, tables, chairs and benches had been arranged in the Wang family's courtyard. According to the doctors in the town hospital, it was only two days since Lao Wang's father passed away. Yang Chenyu was also preparing to visit the old pilgrimage. After all, as one of the main pilgrims in Qinglong Temple, Lao Wang's father also donated a lot of money one after another.
Under the leadership of Wang Deli, Yang Chenyu walked into the inner room and looked up and saw an old man lying on the bed, which was surrounded by black air. The black air was the dead air that emerged from his body when he was about to die. The old man's face was yellow and bald, and the longevity fire on the top of his head and right shoulder was so weak that it was almost wiped out by the wind. He knew that the old man would be alive soon.
Yang Chenyu knew that the old man was Wang Deli's father Wang Xiaochang. He remembered that last year, the old man came to Qinglongguan to burn incense and pray for blessings. Unexpectedly, he had not seen him for more than a year. Last year, he was quite ill and was terminally ill.
Wang Xiaochang had no reaction at all to Yang Chenyu's entry. Yang Chenyu sighed softly, turned to Wang Deli and asked: "Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, Wang Donor, what is the disease of Wang Old Donor?"
After hearing the Taoist priest's question, Wang Deli sighed deeply: "Oh, it's stomach cancer. It was discovered at the beginning of this year, but it was already in the late stage. I had half of my stomach cut and had chemotherapy. I didn't expect my body to be unable to hold on." As he said that, Wang Deli's tears followed.
Hearing this, Yang Chenyu couldn't help but feel aroused. Why not try it with a talisman? To be honest, Yang Chenyu doesn't have much confidence in the talisman he drew, so it's better to do an experiment on this prince's father.
However, Yang Chenyu knew that if he spoke rashly, Wang Deli would have to fight with him immediately. Who would have to let his father use it as a test subject?
Yang Chenyu thought for a moment. Just as Wang Deli was about to ask him to go down and rest, Yang Chenyu sighed, which made Wang Deli a little surprised and hurriedly asked what was going on.
Yang Chenyu shook his head and sighed again: "If I had known that the old donor of the king would have been like this, there would be a way to save him. Alas, I might not have been able to treat him now." Yang Chenyu's words were completely a way to capture and take on his will. He had said before. If he rashly said that he could treat him, he would probably not believe him. But such a statement would have made the words a little credible. I am afraid that Wang Deli would become a drowning person who grabbed the straw and did not let go.
The next thing was indeed not as expected by Yang Chenyu. When Wang Deli heard this, he was immediately excited, his face turned red, and he wiped away his tears, and asked anxiously: "I would like to ask the Taoist priest to treat him. Even if it is useless, my Wang family will not forget your great kindness! I will definitely pay a lot of money!"
Yang Chenyu refused several times but failed, and had to nodded and agreed, which made Wang Deli happy. He went out and called his son and daughter-in-law to help him, and worked hard. Under Yang Chenyu's command, he freed up the venue to set up the incense table.
Seeing this little Taoist priest who was not as old as himself standing there to open an oath, Wang Deli's son, daughter-in-law and neighbors who came to help were all suspicious. If Wang Deli hadn't insisted on this, I'm afraid even Yang Chenyu would have to be driven out as a liar.
The practice of opening the cauldron can cure an elderly person with terminal illness in the late stage of gastric cancer? Please! It is now the 21st century and it is no longer an era of ignorance and superstition. Except for some elderly people, most residents in the town do not believe this anymore. Although they may burn incense and worship God, it is just a psychological comfort.
Of course, Yang Chenyu's approach to opening the altar at this time was just a cover-up. If he was not solemn and just took out the clear water talisman and burned it to the other party, I'm afraid even Wang Deli would not believe it.
A long table was placed in the center of the yard, with newly bought yellow cloth, and several red candles inserted into the incense burner, which looked quite simple, but Yang Chenyu still had a serious expression and recited a large section of the silence scripture before the incense table, which caused a lot of doubts among the onlookers. They knew little about Taoism, and most of their images of Taoism came from TV movies. In their impression, Taoism should be holding a peach wood sword in hand. After a while, the Taishang Laojun was eager to sprinkle a talisman, and then pierced the talisman with the peach wood sword and ignited it, etc.
It was obvious that the little Taoist priest's behavior was very different from that in the TV movies. He just recited a passage that they could not understand, bowed to the sky three times, then took out a piece of yellow paper with cloud patterns from his arms, and swayed in the air with two fingers in his right hand, and the yellow paper burned.
Yang Chenyu then inserted the burning yellow paper into the prepared water cup. The burning ashes of the yellow paper suddenly turned a cup of clear water into pitch black. Yang Chenyu nodded at the water cup, looking very satisfied, and then handed the cup to Wang Deli who was waiting aside: "Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, Wang Donor, I have invited the river god's magic power to integrate into this water, so take it to let the donor Wang drink it."
This river god is the Xiangshui River God worshipped by Qinglong Temple. Wang Deli knew it, so he nodded quickly and carefully carried the water cup into the house.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers began to discuss, some said, "This little Taoist priest really has magic power! He can actually ignite talismans out of thin air! It's amazing!"
Yang Chenyu was pretending to be exhausting a lot of magic power and sweating heavily. When he heard this, he felt secretly happy. It seemed that the masses still understood the truth. Although the method of opening the altar was fake, the Qingshui Talisman really had magic power. As long as the fame was promoted this time, the Qinglong Temple might be able to return to its heyday.
Master, Master, Qinglong Temple is finally going to be carried forward in his hands! Yang Chenyu was expressing his contribution to the old temple master who passed away. Unexpectedly, he heard someone whispering: "What magic power? Isn't this just adding some white phosphorus to the yellow paper? White phosphorus will burn when it encounters air, and a scam from the world!"
