Chapter 11
Xie Xuanyuan thought that Yiyang Temple had such a loud name, and Qingyuan and Qingzheng learned Taoism from Zhenren Xiao, and he should have some real knowledge. If a female ghost flew out of the tent, he would definitely not believe it.
Then he went against the rules and told them to see the "female ghost" lying on his body to absorb the yang energy.
Unexpectedly, these two candids were so useless. When they saw a female ghost, they were so scared that they looked like this. The dozen or so paper people prepared behind them had not come in handy yet.
The lights on the long street were on all the way, and there were also night patrol soldiers in the city who rushed to catch the thief. Xie Xuan and his little little heads were placed on the window ridge, watching the two gangs run away with their heads in their arms.
When the lights gradually stopped, Xie Xuan carried the bamboo basket on his back, jumped quietly, and then turned around to catch Xiaoxiao.
The two of them took advantage of the night to sneak into the west of Chizhou City.
There are wealthy families in the east of the city and civilians in the west of the city. During the day, they looked at a few families, and they all had a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere in the house. They gave them money first.
The little Tudi Gong who took out the paper cut, Xie Xuan put his pen into a talisman, and blew his breath to the paper man. The paper man flew lightly across the earth wall, stopped in front of the window, and placed the silver in front of the door.
The crutch knocked on the door one or two with a crutch. When someone came out to open the door, the paper man stepped back to the wall.
The lights were dim at night, and I could only see a contour clearly. I could tell that it was an old man with a cane. Xie Xuanla hid behind the wall in small ways and called out at the right time: "Master Land!"
A few pieces of silver fell on the windowsill and beside the water tank, which solved the urgent needs of these companies.
Early the next morning, the people in Chizhou City no longer told the story of the Jiang family's female ghost asking for life. Instead, they talked about the fact that the Landlord showed his power and gave gold and silver to save his illness and emergency treatment.
Xiaoxiao sat on the tofu stall, scooped the tofu with a spoon, and blew it cooled down bit by bit.
Xie Xuan asked for two trays of steamed dumplings, and listened to them with his ears.
"That Widow Song, who was forced to commit debts, bullied the mother and the orphans and widows of the sugar water stall, took the girl to the door of her house, saying that she would take the girl away today. The land appeared last night, so there was no need to sell her daughter this time."
"I heard that Bai Xuexiang was not good at doing good things and wanted to buy girls to train. Widow Song stopped opening a stall today, and she took her daughter to the Land Temple to pay for the gods early in the morning."
The brother and sister looked at each other and laughed. Xie Xuan was proud and even talked to someone: "Is it really the Land Lord who appeared?"
The man heard his accent as a foreigner, and when he saw that he didn't believe it, he became more and more serious: "Of course, the land is revealed. Several families saw it really, just like the landlord. Today, when the city gate was opened, several families went to burn incense."
It is said that Widow Song is usually devout, so the Landlord will appear to protect her daughter.
There is also Old Man Liu's family who is so sick that they can't afford to catch medicine. The Landlord gave him a silver ingot.
Xie Xuan exclaimed: "The land in Chizhou is so effective. Then we have to go and worship. It is best to bless peace when we go out. It is best to invite a portrait to go back."
Even the foreigner was going to worship him. The people at the tofu stall discussed going to worship the land. They would have to collect some money for indulgence and oil when going to Yiyangguan Huihui. There were no rules for worshiping the land Lord.
What's more, if Zhen Xiao does something that is not effective, worshiping the true god is not more useful than worshiping people.
The Land Lord lay on the sacred platform and yawned in a daze. He heard something outside the temple gate. He narrowed his eyes and saw a wave of people coming to the temple gate one after another.
The Tudigong sat upright. In recent years, except for Xiaoxiao and Xie Xuan, only the female ghost has come to his small temple. Without offerings, even mice don’t come to steal food. Why are there so many people today?
The woman wearing mourning clothes at the beginning was a haggard face, with a bamboo basket in her hand, and a little girl of seven or eight years old was followed by her.
As soon as the two entered the temple gate, they bowed down. The girl took out the fragrance from the bamboo basket and kowtowed to her mother: "The Lord of Land saved my daughter from the fire pit, which is to save our mother and daughter's lives. I have invited you to worship the paintings and films. Although the family is poor, your incense will never be kept."
The husband owes debts, and as soon as the person dies, the debts fall on the mother and daughter. The profits are getting better. How can you pay it back by selling sugar water?
The debt collector took out a contract, pressed her husband's handprint, saying that the day was coming and he would pay his daughter to them. Widow Song had already prepared a sweet sugar water mixing with rat medicine last night, and the mother and daughter were seeking death together.
If it weren't for the Tudigong's crutch knocking on the door, he would be in the underworld today.
After praying, I sweep the land and grass and sweep the land and temple cleanly.
The Land Lord sat upright on the sacred platform. Every time he came to worship, a golden light fell on his body. From morning to dusk, he never stopped.
When a wealthy family heard about this, they came to repair houses for the Tudi Temple. They plucked the weeds in front of the temple and added yellow tents to the divine platform. They also burned incense and worshiped them, and set a good day to reshape the statue of the Tudi Temple.
The colorful clothes on the Tudigong's body over the years have also become mottled, and the crutches have also become decayed. Even though the clay sculpture is still shabby, his divine power has increased greatly. After counting on his fingers, it was the two little kids who helped him, and he smiled and twisted his beard: "Shengji, Shanji."
Xiaoxiao Xie Xuan was full of her stomach and slowly returned to the inn. Before she could even walk to the door, she saw Qing Yuanqing sitting in the teahouse opposite the inn.
He was secretly staring at the second floor of the inn under the pretext of drinking tea.
They finally got rid of it last night and hid all night.
As soon as the sky was pale, Qingyuan said, "The two little thieves are hard at this moment, so we just go and find the bargain."
What are you afraid of during the Qing Dynasty and during the day? That thing must come out at night. It is very safe during the day. If these two people die, the inn will inevitably get into trouble with Guan Fei.
They were just under the banner of Yiyang Temple and said that these two were from Yiyang Temple, and even their bodies and things were moved to the temple.
No matter what treasures the master likes on these two little thieves, he is very good at it.
The two of them sat in the teahouse for a long time with this wishful thinking, but there was no movement inside. Qingzheng asked, "Has no one discovered it yet?"
Qingyuan held the tea and said, "No hurry, just go back before dark anyway."
Xie Xuan thought for a while and understood. He held his small hand and walked past the teahouse with a swagger, walked to Qingyuan Qingzheng's table, blocking their gaze with his back.
Qingyuan and Qingzheng were staring at the inn, but they didn't realize that what was standing in front of him was Xie Xuan, who was "sucked all his yang energy" by the female ghost yesterday.
Boss Qingyuan was impatient: "Hurry up, get out of here for grandpa."
Xie Xuan turned around and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Brother Dao, what are Brother Dao looking at?"
Qingzheng widened his eyes and pointed at Xie Xuan: "...you you you."
Xie Xuan smiled deeper and learned to be honest, and he also tapped himself with his fingers: "I, me, me, what's wrong?"
Xiao Xiao burst out laughing.
Only then did Qingyuan realize that she was being played with by Xie Xuan. She had never been fooled by anyone in the middle of the night, and her face turned red.
Qingzheng had not yet reacted, and he said blankly: "You are not..." Qingyuan stepped on his toes and screamed in pain, then he stopped talking.
Qingyuan gritted his teeth: "Okay, okay, you little thief, don't fall into my hands!"
I stood up and left with my sleeves, and my whereabouts were discovered. What else can I follow?
Xie Xuanyang smiled and watched them leave. When the two of them left, he whispered: "What do Zhenren Xiao want from us?"
I know that he has made some plans, but I don’t know what he is planning.
Xie Xuan didn't know that they had nothing before they came to Chizhou, but they had some silver on them. Zhenren Xiao eliminated evil spirits and caught ghosts, and he could only ask for a hundred taels of silver when he spoke. He would not take this little money seriously.
"Is it...is it related to the master?"
The two returned to the inn. Last night, they watched the show again and gave gold and silver, and they had not had time to pack up.
Xiaoxiao picked up the paper man on the ground and saw that a piece of money hit the female ghost with paper cutters, and cut the talisman on the paper, which made the paper man's magic.
"Senior Brother! Look!"
Xie Xuan took the money and held it in his palm. His face changed suddenly. He pulled out a red rope from his neckline, and there was an exact same piece of money tied to the red rope.
The same is true for the little neck, made of thin gold, with small words "Taishang Xuanmen" engraved on both sides.
These two coins were tied to their necks since childhood. The master said that this coins can drive away evil spirits and he did not spend these two coins when he was poor.
They always thought that the master was just a dispersed Taoist, and the master never mentioned the master's teachings. When they asked him occasionally, he would fool him.
The Taoist technique taught was also a blow, but I didn’t expect that I would see the money given by the master on the Taoist priest in Yiyangguan.
"Master is a person from Yiyang Temple?" Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at the money carefully at Riguang.
The two had different views on Yiyang Temple, but since they had the same money, the master was related to Yiyang Temple, so Xiao Zhen wanted to trick them up the mountain.
Xie Xuan had another guess in his heart that he had never mentioned Xiaoxiao. He guessed that his master was captured.
He was a few years older than he was, and he remembered earlier. Before they settled, they had been wandering around. The master only took them to the village and the town less.
Could it be that the master stole something and was chased by his disciples?
But my master is as poor as he is, and the most valuable thing on him is these two pieces of money. If he really wants to steal something, how can he be so poor that he will take them to sleep in the open?
The two looked at each other, Xie Xuan put away his smile and said seriously: "Let's go to Yiyang Temple."
The author has something to say:
