Not a fairy guest

After Yu Nian finished taking the sword from his residence, a group of three people swaggered to the gate of the Song family again.

When approaching Song Mansion, I couldn't see its true appearance last night, and now I realized that the name of this richest man was true.I saw that this house was located in a prosperous area. It was extremely spacious, with blue bricks and black tiles, and cornices and brackets. The servants at the door were busy coming in and out. Just one glance from a distance and I knew that it was either rich or noble.

The old Taoist priest suddenly stopped and took out the talisman from his arms and handed it to the two of them. They still needed to make complete preparations for today's events.

"Remember not to leave!" he warned.

Yang Qing put it into her inner clothes without hesitation. She knew that this was a life-saving charm drawn by an old Taoist priest, and it could still be used in critical moments.Yu Nian also placed the talismans according to the gourd and painting method. The old Taoist priest took out the compass from his arms and carefully distinguished the airflow around the Song Mansion. He observed the pointer on the compass and frowned. It turned out to be a house with excellent Feng Shui. , but there was some bad luck at that time.

I looked around for more than a year, but couldn't come to visit by myself. In the end, my eyes fell on the old Taoist priest. Although his clothes were a bit shabby, fortunately, the old Taoist priest's face was pure and mediocre, and he and the girl stood aside and pretended to be... The boy who accompanied him really had the appearance of a master of Taoism, which made people feel a bit respectful at first sight, so he started to praise him: "Old sir, you have an air of immortality and Taoism. You can tell at a glance that you are a Taoist." Gao Shen, this girl and I stand next to each other like two boys, or else you can knock on the door and convince Song Yuanwai."

The old Taoist priest was elated when he heard what Yu Nian said about "immortal Taoism" and "profound Taoism". He said in his heart that since he had already reached the gate of the Song Dynasty, there was no reason to go back, and the reward was worth her and the little girl's reward. The girl spent a year.Under the admiring gazes of the young man and Yang Qing, the old Taoist priest smoothed his beard and straightened his robe before taking a step forward.

The old Taoist priest clicked the big copper ring, which made a clanging sound on the door. After a while, a servant stuck his head out and asked what was going on.

The old Taoist priest has been traveling around the world for many years and has already been able to cope with it. He simply bowed and explained his intention straight to the point.

The servants of the Song Mansion must have received orders from the officials. As soon as they heard that the old Taoist priest was here to slay demons in his house, they directly welcomed the three people into the house without waiting for an announcement.

In the high-walled entrance courtyard, there are carved beams and painted windows, fragrant wood and green brick buildings screen the walls, and cornices and angular eyebrow beams.After bypassing the majestic main hall and turning the corner along a courtyard paved with bluestone, Yu Nian and the three of them were taken by servants to the east wing, which seemed to be specially used for receiving guests.

When the owner of the house, Song Yuanwai, heard from his servant that a mage was coming to his door, he didn't even bother to tidy up his clothes, so he hurried to the east wing to meet Yu Nian and others.

Before he could cross the threshold of the east chamber, Song Yuanwai stood outside the corridor, raised his hands and shouted loudly: "The Immortal has arrived. If you are not welcome from afar, please take a seat."

The old Taoist priest was not polite and sat on it.

Although many Taoist monks had come to the Song Mansion before, they all returned without success, which made Song officials doubt whether these so-called magicians who subdued monsters and captured monsters were not worthy of their name. However, after a few words with the leading old Taoist priest, , but it made Song Yuanwai feel that these people were not charlatans who came to fish in troubled waters. In fact, it was no wonder that Song Yuanwai had such an opinion. Although the old Taoist priests usually did fortune-telling, after all, they had been traveling abroad all year round. Apart from their appearance, they were quite suitable. In addition to those legendary figures who are said to be immortals, their conversation and knowledge are also quite extraordinary, and they also show a sense of aloofness and self-purity in their bones. When meeting a wealthy businessman like Song Yuanwai, he is naturally gentle and well-spoken.

Therefore, Song Yuanwai, who was originally just planning to treat a few people as ordinary demon-catching mages, opened up the chatterbox and started chatting warmly with the old Taoist priest, holding hands like confidants.

Seeing that the two of them were so in love with each other, apart from Yu Nian's admiration, the girl on the side couldn't help but look at him with admiration. This old man is usually unreliable, and he is good at putting on airs. But like him, he really seems to be a bit of a master. , but in terms of skill...it seems to be just that.

At this time, Song Yuanwai was always looking at Yu Nian intentionally or unintentionally. The elder, who was relatively familiar with Taoyuan Tower, felt more and more familiar with the young man. He finally remembered it, pointed at him and said with some worry: "You are not..."

Yu Nian did not dare to forget Shopkeeper Zhou's instructions, so he stepped forward and said respectfully to Mr. Song: "Mr. Song, I am lucky enough to be favored by the Immortal of Sifang Mountain. Shopkeeper Zhou also gave me instructions, so I came with him." , I came here this time just to help the Immortal, please don't worry about it, Mr. Song!"

After listening to Yu Nian's brief introduction to himself, Song Yuanwai nodded, feeling that this was reasonable. He dismissed his doubts and turned to the old Taoist priest: "Don't blame me, the immortals. They all say that family scandals should not be made public. The little girl was teased by the evil spirit. It was just the former We have invited a lot of Taoist masters these days. They were fine during the day, but at night they were beaten to pieces by the monster, so I asked this question."

The old Taoist priest smiled slightly and said he didn't care, and said: "Those are all charlatans. How can they conquer demons and eliminate demons? Now that the poor Taoist is here, Song Yuan can rest easy."

Song Yuanwai heard that Sifang Mountain is nearly a hundred miles away from Yu County. Just a few hours after his men set out this morning, Taoist priests from Sifang Mountain came over. Could it be that they have the ability to escape through the sky and the earth?If this is the case, then my daughter can be saved.

Song Yuanwai did not dare to neglect the distinguished guests. While inviting a few people into the house to entertain them, he praised the old Taoist priest and his party: "Sifang Mountain is truly a place where experts gather. The Taoist Priest must have received the letter of distress sent by me before he came here. Yes. I have long heard that the masters of Sifang Mountain have the magical power to wield swords for thousands of miles. They can travel thousands of miles in a day and arrive in a blink of an eye. I didn’t expect that when I saw them today, they were indeed well-deserved. However, they were different from immortals, so I had no choice but to show shame to others. I went to send a letter for help, but I didn’t expect the immortal to arrive so quickly. Now it seems that my poor daughter is finally saved.”

When the old Taoist priest heard that this member of the Song Dynasty had also sent a letter to Sifang Mountain, he immediately wanted to retreat.The only thing I'm worried about now is meeting the person who sent the message, but today's encounter is really unavoidable, so I have to bite the bullet.

The old Taoist priest waved his hands stiffly and said, "Little Ji'er, it's not a big deal. The three of us masters and disciples are here just for this very purpose. We just need to set up an altar and do it. I hope Song Yuanwai can make some preparations." Song Yuanwai listened to the old Taoist priest. The Taoist priest looked very confident and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Immortal, the altar of incense and candles that I used to make some time ago is all available. I'll have people put them out right away. However, the Immortal must be a little tired after coming all the way with his sword. Please rest for a while, Song will treat you all well, and since the Immortal is here, there is no rush to conquer the demons."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yuanwai ordered the kitchen to prepare a banquet and refreshments in front of several people. He invited the three of them to sit down and have a meal, while he stayed by the side. Hearing that there was a banquet, this made the old Taoist priest extremely happy. Naturally, Will not refuse.

When Yang Qing saw a large table of chicken, duck, and fish, she immediately beamed. The old Taoist priest always lied to her and said it was a big meal, but she always served it with plain noodles.Now this table of food can be regarded as a real feast. If you can slay demons and slay demons with such good food, then why do you do fortune telling in the future?

After four or five glasses of wine, the old Taoist priest's face turned red. Under the influence of the alcohol, his mouth seemed to have no gate, and he began to brag about his powerful Taoism. After another two glasses of wine, He didn't even know what he was talking about. During a long chat, he unconsciously went up to Sifang Mountain and said that when he was young, he followed the master of Sifang Mountain to find the way to immortality.

After saying this, he and Song Yuan met with a large glass of wine.

Hearing the old Taoist priest bragging, Song Yuanwai could not help but praise him.

On the side, Yang Qing, who was full of oil, looked at her father who was starting to wander and talk nonsense, and blinked her eyes.

However, while the three of them were eating happily, the housekeeper of the Song Dynasty looked a little doubtful, because the Taoist priest who claimed to be from the famous Sifang Mountain never mentioned the trivial matters of demon subduing, but only talked enthusiastically with the Song officials. Persuading people to drink and order food was really not in line with the image of a master in the market, so he leaned close to Song Yuanwai and whispered in his ear.The meaning is naturally that the three people's behavior is not like that of the Sifangshan master.

Song Yuanwai frowned when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand. He deliberately looked at the three people who were devouring their food, and said softly: "No, I heard that the masters in Sifang Mountain are very powerful. Maybe they are too tired from traveling thousands of miles a day." "If you offend the master, then my poor daughter will be even more hopeless." In fact, Song Yuanwai also suspected that the three people came to cheat him out of food and drink, but now he had to seek medical treatment in a hurry, and the liar also treated him as a cheat. The expert envoy was just treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but because the old Taoist priest did say that he was from Sifang Mountain, he could only believe it for the time being.

By noon, the three of them had eaten and drank enough, especially the old Taoist priest, whose stomach was full and he didn't want to move.

"Chief Immortal, when do you think we will start exorcising demons?" Song Yuanwai walked over and asked cautiously.

Seeing the old Taoist priest blushing after drinking, he slapped the table and was about to stand up. He didn't expect to be dizzy, but he didn't stand upright and almost dropped his chair. Fortunately, Yu Nian helped him in time.

"Okay! Immortal, please come this way." Seeing this, Song Yuanwai couldn't help but feel anxious and led him directly to Miss Song's courtyard.

In broad daylight, the gate of this courtyard was tightly closed, and the yin energy inside could not stop seeping out, making everyone shudder when they came close.

At this time, Song Yuanwai said: "I don't know if you need anything else, I'll have someone prepare it."

"Cinnabar, yellow talisman, rooster's blood, black dog's blood, nothing less." These are the usual tools for killing demons. Those charlatans also brought a lot of them before, but now the housekeeper has brought them and put them on the ground. They are really all kinds of things. Everything is there.

Yu Nian held his ancient sword in his hand and turned a deaf ear to the evil-dispelling objects on the ground. After all, he didn't know how to use them.The old Taoist priest took the cinnabar and began to draw talismans. If he used a sword to kill demons and eliminate demons, it would be really difficult for him.

The old Taoist priest had already put on the purple Taoist robe prepared by Song Yuanwai, wore a Bagua hat on his head, and held a peach wood sword in his hand. He began to write on the desk. At this moment, Yu Nian stared intently at the altar where the utensils were placed one by one. The old Taoist priest, who was rarely dressed in formal attire, walked back and forth on the table with unknown steps in an orderly manner. As the old Taoist priest recited sutras and mantras in a flurry of yin and yang, the onlookers fell into silence and did not dare to express their anger. I was afraid that I might accidentally interfere with the profound and mysterious singing of the mage on stage.He held his breath and concentrated like this until the old Taoist priest took a deep breath and put down the peach wood sword in his hand.

Looking at the red-faced and out-of-breath old Taoist priest, Song Yuanwai asked Yu Nian in confusion: "I heard that Sifang Mountain is not famous for wielding swords to subdue demons. Why are you still drawing talismans and chanting curses like ordinary Taoist priests?"

Yu Nian was afraid that he might be exposed, so he was about to explain when the old Taoist priest beside him smiled and said: "Master Song, I don't know something. I am a poor Taoist who is proficient in the art of talismans. The disciples of Sifang Mountain are all familiar with the sword skills of using swords to subdue monsters, and talisman It requires a person with extraordinary talent to master it. If you can master the Tao of Talisman, you can scatter beans and become soldiers, and you can destroy the immortals, devils and gods."

After saying that, the old Taoist priest took out a stack of talismans from his arms, stood with his head held high, and whispered the incantation urgently in his mouth: "The sky is clear and the earth is spirit, the soldiers will follow the seal, and the generals will follow the orders!"

Song Yuanwai nodded with sudden realization. Listening to the old Taoist priest's confident words and this quite upright mantra, which seemed to be quite skillful, the old man, who was already very frustrated, started to speak. I cheered up again and wanted to see what this old Taoist priest had up his sleeves.
