[043] Unlucky Item Yuan

The scholar Xiang Yuan was overjoyed and bowed deeply, begging with tears: "If the Taoist priest can save Zhujing and heal, this kindness Xiang will remember forever, and he will be rewarded!"

时人多含蓄内敛,如项原夫妇俩这般伉俪情深倒是少见.冯煜方才被一行人不分青红皂白地揍了顿,见此倒是散去不虞,点头道:“且取一碗净水来吧.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a young and strong young man immediately responded in the crowd, "I'll go, my home is close!"

Without waiting for others to speak, he turned around and ran to the village with a stick in his hand. Another loyal servant from Xiang Yuan also reacted and said hurriedly: "Master, I'll go too!" He immediately stepped out and chased the young man. After a while, the two of them came back together, and brought a full bowl of clean water in their hands with a clay bowl.

Feng Yu took it and was quite moved.

The bowl was filled with half a bowl of water, and it was not easy to spill so quickly that it could not be spilled much. From this, we can see that Xiang Yuan is quite popular, and even ordinary villagers are willing to do things for him.

But Feng Yu didn't use so much water, so he poured the bowl and said, "It's enough to have so much water-" Then he turned his palm, and a piece of talisman paper suddenly appeared in his hand, which was still empty just now. Feng Yu put the talisman paper into the bowl, shaking the clay bowl, while chanting: "Dayan's imperial order, Xuanhuang gathers qi, the three yangs protect the soul treasure to strengthen their lives, hurry up and as fast as the law order! The soul life is forever solid, fast!"

As Feng Yu recited the mantra, the talisman immersed in the water burned without fire.

Has everyone ever seen such a strange scene? In a low voice, they quickly held their breath and stared at the burning talisman in surprise.

In an instant, the talisman burned out.

But Feng Yu shook the clay bowl, and the water in the bowl was still as clear as before, and there was not even a little ashes!

The villagers also saw Taoists using talismans. Such a magical technique was really amazing. The scholar Xiang Yuan was also surprised and thought that Feng Yu had used a trick, and there was no talisman burning at all. But when he took the bowl of talisman water, he felt the heat of the Tao touching it, which made him know that it was not an illusion!

Since she chose to believe it, Xiang Yuan no longer hesitated and asked the old servant who was taking care of his wife Xiang Cheng to help her over. She didn't mind watching everyone, and personally served Xiang Cheng to drink the talisman water. It was not easy for Mrs. Xiang under "soul abscess" to feed her water, but Xiang Yuan was very patient and fed her little by little.

After the talisman water was drunk, Xiang Cheng's indifference surged, and he was so limp that he was so silenced that he was supported by Xiang Yuan and the old servant. Xiang Yuan thought something was wrong and said anxiously: "Master, what's going on?"

"Don't be afraid," Feng Yu said, "Let your wife sleep for an hour, and you can recover your consciousness after waking up!"

Xiang Yuan was nervous and relaxed slightly. At this moment, the servant who had been fetching water had arranged an old but clean sedan chair from the village. Xiang Yuan then asked the old servant to support Xiang Cheng into the sedan chair. The two young and strong men then carried the sedan chair and went to the village under the service of the old servant.

Xiang Yuan had time and sincerely invited Feng Yu to take a break in the village.

Feng Yu knew that Fu Shui had not been effective, so he left behind and agreed with a smile. Seeing this, the villagers around him temporarily explained the matter and discussed it. The man in front of him stood up again and said in a very indignant manner: "Master Xiang, Madam is fine now, but Lai San is still there! He dares to do such a bad thing today and cannot forgive him. We will catch him together!"

Xiang Yuan was grateful, but sighed: "Lai San has been away for a long time and has long disappeared. How can everyone find his trace?"

The man said, "We will take a few dogs when we go back and give it a try, otherwise we will really not be able to find anyone when he runs away!"

Seeing this, Feng Yu smiled and interrupted, saying, "Everyone wants to catch Lai San, I can guide you." He originally did not intend to let Lai San go, but now someone is doing it for him, Feng Yu is happy to be relaxed. He took another piece of blank talisman paper, pinched it and recited a few words silently. Once the magic power was used, the yellow paper folded itself spiritually and turned into a paper crane.

As Feng Yu blew out in one breath, the paper crane suddenly came alive, flapped its wings and determined the direction in the air, and then flew towards the place where Lai San had left.

"You will be able to find Lai San with the paper crane!"

The man was originally indignant and refused to let go of evil people like Lai San easily, so he wanted to chase after them. Now that Feng Yu led the way, he was immediately excited and confident. He lit up seven or eight fast-legged fellow villagers, and they all grabbed the sticks and chased the paper crane with great excitement.

The paper crane is a "imitation" Taoist method used by Hongming before. When practiced to the depths, it is the "scattering beans into soldiers" in the "Tiangang Dharma". Feng Yu was just a beginner, but it was impossible to use paper cranes to transmit, but it is enough to use paper cranes to follow the qi to track it.

Xiang Yuan bowed again, and the sadness and depression between his eyebrows dissipated for more than half, and he sincerely invited Feng Yu to visit the village.

Feng Yu did not refuse to calm his heart.

After greetings on the tea, Xiang Yuan talked about his misfortune in the past two days, and Feng Yu realized the whole story.

It turned out that the Xiang family's ancestral land was in Liujiazhuang. After Xiang Yuan achieved fame and became an official, he moved out of here, but he still returned here to pay homage to the public every year. He was grateful and nostalgic, and he often gave back to his hometown, so he was respected and loved by the villagers. The Xiang family was poor, and Xiang Yuan was also taking care of the ancestral land when he was an official outside.

The day before yesterday, Xiang Yuan returned to worship his ancestors again, and brought his wife Xiang Cheng and his young three-year-old son. Because he and Xiang Cheng were old, they should have had sons, so they were very fond of him. This time, the grand ceremony of returning home was to announce that his ancestors would succeed him.

Who would have thought that after the high ceremony, the youngest son disappeared without a trace!

Xiang Yuan and his wife, as well as the servants in the family, and the villagers in the village searched around, but they still failed. That night, Xiang Cheng blamed himself for being too sad and suffering from "soul absenteeism" due to severe palpitations. Xiang Yuan was sad, but he had to continue looking for his young son the next day, and there was insufficient staff, so he only left Xiang Cheng's old servant to take care of him.

The old servant served Xiang Cheng to sleep, and then went to the kitchen to cook porridge, wanting to wait for him to wake up and eat. Unexpectedly, for a moment, Xiang Cheng, who was in love with his beloved son, left his residence under the loss of soul. When he was walking around in a daze, he met Lai San who was ill-hearted.

Originally, people like Lai San dared not have the evil intentions of being very evil.

But who made Lai San owed a huge gambling debt today and had no way to repay it, so he took risks. It was really a matter of rain. Xiang Yuan learned that the matter was almost broken. When he chased him out, he learned about the news from the naughty boy in the village. Therefore, at the beginning, the crowd was excited and indiscriminate.

Feng Yu sighed.

"Master Taoist, you are an expert in the world and have great supernatural powers. I wonder if Xiang can ask you for help?" The fatigue and expectation in Xiang Yuan's eyes made Feng Yu sigh.

In fact, Xiang Yuan didn't need to say anything, he guessed what the other party wanted and said, "Do you want me to help you find Mr. Ling?"

Xiang Yuan asked for help, nervous and looking forward to it.

Feng Yu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Then take something that the young master is used to. The closer he is to the time when he disappeared, the better!"

Xiang Yuan was happy and hurriedly sued the crime and entered the house. Soon after, he received a silver medal and said, "This is the 'longevity card' worn by the dog son on a daily basis. Because the dog son was stubborn and had torn the necklace, he took it off in the past two days and did not wear it. Unexpectedly, this happened if he didn't wear it in one go. Oh, Taoist priest, can this thing be used?"

Feng Yu took over the silver medal and saw a strong aura on the card. He nodded and said, "Available!"

Then he grabbed the air and captured a breath, and folded it into a paper crane according to the previous talisman, allowing the paper crane to sense the breath, and then cast a spell to activate it, so that it could "follow the qi and track it".

Unexpectedly, the paper crane just flew up and suddenly appeared!

When it was looking for the direction, it suddenly "punched" and fired into ashes in an instant!

"Huh?" Feng Yu was shocked. Xiang Yuan was nervous when he saw this and asked, "Master, this is—"

Feng Yu waved his hand to him, signaling "Don't be impatient", and then he caught another breath and used the same trick again, but the paper crane still took off just now, and then it burned out!

Feng Yu's face showed a congestion, quite surprised and suspicious.

He knew that when the breath was too light, the paper crane could not be traced; he also knew that when the Tao was not good, the paper crane would fail. But like the paper crane in front of him, it would be ignited suddenly, which reminded Feng Yu of an unknown possibility - the target of the paper crane tracking was covered by magic, so the paper crane could not resist backlash and burning and was destroyed!

But in this case, does it mean that the disappearance of Xiang Yuan’s young only son is related to the monk?!

Feng Yu's heart sank.

If Xiang Yuan's young only son fell into the hands of ordinary bandits, he would probably be cheated in exchange for money and would not be damaged easily; but if he fell into the hands of an evil cultivator, he might be in a bad situation!

In order not to make Xiang Yuan worry in vain, Feng Yu pressed his mind and did not tell him his guess. He only asked him: "I wonder if there is only Lingzi missing near Liujiazhuang recently, or are there any other family missing children?"

Xiang Yuan has been worried about his young only son these two days, but how could he know about this? He hurriedly invited the village elders to ask, and the village elder nodded repeatedly: "Some, some! The old man heard about the neighboring village Lao Huang, Yuan Carpenter, the Hu family in Shangyuan, and also the Qi family in the county..."

The fellow villager counted with his fingers, and as far as he knew, he counted five families that he had encountered!

Xiang Yuan was so angry that his face turned red, saying, "So many children disappeared one after another, it is obvious that there are evil people who are specifically responsible for the disaster. Didn't they report to the officials?"

The villagers sighed and said, "The Hu family and the Qi family reported to the county. Where can I report to the other three families? The villagers helped me find it for two days, but they couldn't find it. They just thought it was taken away by the tiger and wolf. What else can I do?"

Seeing Feng Yu pondering but not speaking, Xiang Yuan sighed slightly. He realized that this matter might be difficult to do, and he did not force himself to ask for it. He just said, "Master Taoist, if things cannot be done, Xiang is not ignorant and forced to do it. He just said, "Master, if things cannot be done, Xiang is not ignorant and forced. Just do it!"

Feng Yu didn't answer, just shook his head, frowned and thought.

After a long time, Feng Yu asked: "Do you know where are the famous palaces and temples nearby?"

Xiang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "There seems to be a palace in Changshan, Qingzhou. If it is prosperous, it will go to Jinan Prefecture."

Feng Yu nodded. If there were any evil cultivators recently, of course, the local forces knew the most. When they arrived in Jinan Prefecture, there was a famous cave in the Daomen, but they might not know the local news. At the right time, a servant from the inner hall came in surprise, and Mrs. Yan was already awake.

Xiang Yuan was excited to sue for the crime and left for a while. After a while, Xiang Cheng thanked him. Xiang Cheng had just woken up and was in need of souls and was sad, so he went to rest. Feng Yu asked to resign, saying that he would do his best to find the youngest son of the Xiang family. Xiang Yuan thanked him deeply and asked him to give him a hundred taels of silver.

Feng Yu only smiled at the silver but didn't accept it.

Xiang Yuan thought for a moment, then went to get another piece of jade and said, "The Taoist Master is beyond the world. Xiang should not insult him with silver and money. This jade is an ancient piece, not a common thing. Taoist Master please accept it!" Feng Yu refused, so he accepted it and walked to Changshan.
