Not a fairy guest

At this time, a burst of shouting came from the tea shop alley outside Taoyuan Tower. Hearing the familiar tone, Yu Nian couldn't help but feel happy, and hurried outside the building to look around. Sure enough, he saw that the old Taoist priest was still wearing the hat. It was a shabby pure Yang scarf, and this time I found a bamboo pole from nowhere, with a piece of canvas hanging on it, and the four words "attracting wealth and bringing treasure" were written on it.

But just like yesterday, no one cared about it at all. The old Taoist priest made a fuss in his heart, and the shouts in his mouth gradually changed later: "Dear guests passing by, Pindao has the true inheritance of the ancestor. As long as you put a sticker on the door. This talisman sold by Tao must have good luck shining in the sky in the front, and wealth everywhere in the back... Hey, this... there is a boy who attracts wealth on the left, and a healthy and longevity star on the right."

The girl walking aside sighed softly. It had already passed from morning to noon again. Even though the old Taoist priest's tongue was shining like a lotus flower, in fact, he did not sell even one talisman. It has the word "liar" written on it.

Just when the old Taoist priest was dejected and lamenting about the bad luck and the deterioration of the world, he suddenly heard someone not far away shouting Taoist Master.

The old Taoist priest couldn't help but feel happy. He quickly turned around and looked back. But when he saw the young man not far away, he felt depressed. He secretly cursed the young man for being so poor, but he couldn't show it in public. He just stared at the young man standing in front of him, and said with a symbolic greeting with a smile on his face, "Ah, it's you, little brother. How is it? Did you sleep well last night?"

I saw Yu Nian was stunned when he heard the words, and his admiration and respect for the old Taoist priest arose spontaneously in his heart. He secretly wondered: Could it be that the old gentleman knew that he was possessed by evil so quickly, and went to Taoyuan Tower to cure me? Disaster relief?
In fact, the old Taoist priest just gave a symbolic greeting, just a casual remark, but it happened to hit the heart of the young man who was troubled in every way. Who would have thought that it was a blind cat that caught a dead mouse. The young man felt that he had something to ask for. So he said respectfully: "To be honest, old gentleman, I didn't sleep peacefully yesterday. I don't know why, but I woke up in the middle of the night with a splitting headache. Could it be that I was possessed by something evil?"

"What? Evil?" The old Taoist priest's face was blank. Although the woman in red was also a ghost, she was not a resentful spirit after all. What's more, he had a divine sword to protect his body last night, so how could he be hurt at all.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the girl next to him staggered and almost fell down on the Yuxian Street, covering her head with a look of pain on her face.The old Taoist priest loved his daughter very much. He frowned and asked the girl what was wrong.

Yu Nian saw it in his eyes and suddenly understood. He thought to himself: This girl must have fallen for the mirror demon's trick last night. It's strange. She was clearly outside the Song Mansion last night. Could there be something weird in it?But it was also a good time to see how the old Taoist priest exorcised evil spirits.

What made the young man stunned was that the old Taoist priest only gently stroked the girl's head, and the girl's livid complexion returned to its original state.

Yu Nian, who had first seen the "supernatural power", swallowed his saliva and secretly said in surprise: It turns out that this old gentleman is really a master. Sister Yingxiu may have been overly worried. Although the immortal leader in front of him is a bit unkempt, But he was able to exorcise evil spirits and break curses with just a few movements of his hands. Yesterday, he fought with that evil spirit again. I think his Taoism is extremely advanced.

The old Taoist priest saw the young man who was wandering in his thoughts at the moment and glanced at the girl who had just recovered. He shook his head and sighed. It seemed that he had made a major decision in his heart. He changed the topic and said, "Brother, what happened yesterday?" But what do you think?"

"What happened yesterday?" The young man couldn't forget the fact that he was possessed by an evil spirit. For a moment, he didn't understand what the old Taoist priest was referring to. After he recovered his thoughts, he remembered that he had asked the old Taoist priest yesterday if he was sure to get rid of the mirror demon. The Taoist priest just said that he wanted to think clearly and left in a hurry. Thinking of this, Yu Nian scratched his head and asked the old Taoist priest uncertainly: "Mr., would you like to visit Song Mansion again?"

"Exactly!" the old Taoist priest nodded.

"Daddy?" The girl turned her head and looked at the old Taoist priest with some doubts. In fact, ever since she arrived in Yu County, the little girl felt that this old guy who had always been unreliable was different from before. Some of the more arrogant and strong men did not dare to ask for some fortune-telling money. Now, in the past two days, they had changed their fearful attitude and actually had the courage to get rid of the demon. She was really confused.

The young man was wary. Hearing that the old Taoist priest decided to go to the Song Mansion to slay the demons again, Yu Nian actually intended to lead the main entrance of the Song Mansion. After all, taking the Taoist Priest of Sifangshan to slay the demons was not a good thing for Taoyuan Tower. Or it may be beneficial to him. After all, he can help Taoyuan Tower connect with the Song Dynasty. Shopkeeper Zhou also had this idea yesterday and he will agree to it, and he may also be able to get some profit from it, but he has already been possessed by the evil spirit. Yesterday, The pain that shot straight to the top of his head was so unbearable that the young man was worried that he might lose his life if he tried again.

As for whether the young man was possessed by the mirror demon yesterday, the old Taoist priest immediately made a plan in his mind. Seeing the lingering fear in Yu Nian's expression, he couldn't help laughing and said loudly: "Please come with me for another visit." Going to the Song Dynasty, if I can get rid of this monster, it will be a meritorious deed. When I first arrived at the restaurant yesterday, I noticed that my brother has excellent bones. I did some calculations and found that my brother has a close relationship with Sifang Mountain. You may not be able to take this step to enter the path of spiritual practice. If so, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. When the time comes, you can use your sword to eliminate violence and bring peace to the world. You can explore the way of heaven and save people, water and fire. Wouldn't it be more meaningful?"

At this point, the young man thought that the old Taoist priest was going to introduce him to Sifang Mountain. He was intoxicated by the wonderful picture of the sword-fighting rivers and lakes that he had described, and he said casually: "That's right, that's right! What the old gentleman said is exactly what he said. This is something that the boy longs for, but to be honest with the Immortal, the boy is now under the curse of the mirror demon. Like this girl, he also had an unbearable headache last night, so he asked the Immortal to use his magical power to exorcise the evil for the boy."

Hearing this, the old Taoist priest stroked his beard, rolled his eyes, and understood clearly in his heart. Then he smiled and said: "I see, I don't have to worry about this. I will do this to exorcise evil spirits for you." .”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a confident old Taoist priest take out a piece of talisman paper from his arms and start to read it. The girl blinked her eyes and couldn't help but feel embarrassed, because she was very familiar with this scene. The trick of the old Taoist priest is to cheat.The young man on the side did not dare to say a word, and stared at the old Taoist priest's "practice" with bated breath. He was afraid that he would be in bad luck, so he asked cautiously: "Old sir, can this evil curse be broken?"

The old Taoist priest did not answer directly, but still held the paper talisman between his two fingers. After all, this act required a complete set.After a long while, the old Taoist priest gently pressed the talisman paper on Yu Nian's Tianling cover, and then he wiped the sweat beads that came from nowhere on his forehead in a serious manner, nodded and said: "Don't worry, little brother, poor man." Although Dao is not good at wielding a sword to slay evil spirits, he is still very good at exorcising evil spirits and removing filth."

When he heard the old Taoist priest say such confident words, Yu Nian put down his worries and bowed to thank the old Taoist priest: "Ah! Thanks to the old gentleman for his generous action this time, since the old gentleman has solved the problem for the boy. Don’t worry about the future, I will lead the way to the Song Mansion, uh..." After Yu Nian said this, he remembered the thrilling situation yesterday, hesitated for a moment, and asked the old Taoist priest: "I just don't know what I need to do for you this time? Don't do it again. Fighting, otherwise the boy’s eight lives won’t be enough to fight that evil spirit!”

"Nonsense!" The old Taoist priest heard Yu Nian's teasing tone, and his face turned red and white. He couldn't help but argue: "How could a poor Taoist let a mortal die in vain? What happened yesterday is all because of this poor Taoist." How can one's life be in danger if it's under control! There's no rush to go to the Song Mansion right now, let's go to your residence first and bring your sword with you yesterday."

"What happened to that sword?" Yu Nian was confused. He didn't know why the old Taoist priest insisted on carrying the family heirloom sword. Maybe he still relied on it, but the young man realized that although the sword was a family heirloom, , but after all, it will not be of much use against these strange ghosts and gods, and it is far less practical than the peach wood swords in the hands of Taoist priests for catching monsters.

I saw that the old Taoist priest did not hide anything, he stroked his beard and said slowly: "I'm afraid I don't know that your sword was shining brightly in the dusk last night. The sharpness of this sword is restrained, I guess it should be a treasure." , after all, when I am doing this to catch monsters, I must be very busy and unable to take care of you. Maybe you can wear this sword for self-defense."

When the young man heard that the old Taoist priest spoke so highly of his family's sword, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. He said happily: "What the old gentleman said is true. That sword was left by my father. I don't know its origin, but This sword was once a personal possession of my father, and I treasured it very much. When my father passed the sword to me, he specifically told me that it was not a mortal thing, and taught me to keep it well and never lose it. But, old gentleman, you said this sword The glowing situation seems to have only occurred in the past few days, but such a situation has never happened in the past." Yu Nian explained everything clearly, he was really a young man who was ignorant and outspoken.

The old Taoist priest covered Yu Nian's mouth to prevent him from telling all the eighteen generations of his ancestors. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. Then he felt relieved and muttered in a low voice: "This Treasures in the world all have spirituality. Although you will find the right person, there will always be people with evil intentions who want to take it for yourself. You must know that your wealth should not be exposed. Do you, my child, lack some sense?"

"Understood!" The young man responded with a smile, "But although you are not very reliable, old sir, I can see that you are a good person!"

The old Taoist priest chuckled, it was quite helpful to hear it, and he stroked his beard quite complacently.

The girl saw this and smiled, stretching out her index finger and scratching her red cheek twice.

When he was about to go back, Yu Nian suddenly stopped and saw shopkeeper Zhou from a distance with his head stretched out and looking around at the gate of Taoyuan Building. Yu Nian knew that if he went back and was caught red-handed, he would be scolded by Zhou Zhou. So he immediately walked up to the old Taoist priest and said something to him softly. After hearing this, the old Taoist priest nodded slightly with a smile on his lips.

At this time, outside the gate of Taoyuan Building, shopkeeper Zhou couldn't see Yu Nian in the entire lobby on the first floor, so he knew that the little bastard had sneaked away again. He had been waiting outside for a while, and saw Yu Nian running back in a hurry and standing at the door. He jumped towards the dusty figure angrily and cursed: "Little bastard! Are you a coward? Why did I tell you this morning!"

Yu Nian felt that he was in the wrong, and was really startled by Shopkeeper Zhou's loud voice. He could only shrink his neck and mutter softly: "Isn't this Sister Yingxiu gone already?"

After that, he pointed to the old Taoist priest and the girl who were following behind him, and said with a smile: "Look, this immortal is planning to practice today. I will take his old man to visit him! Of course, I only said It was you, the old man, who made the decision and specially introduced the masters from Sifang Mountain to Yuanwai Song.

Shopkeeper Zhou was suffocated, and was naturally a little dizzy from Yu Nian's talk. He looked at the playful young man with a doubtful expression and said, "Oh, the sun is coming out in the west! You guys really want to take people to the Song Mansion? What about that?" There has been a lot of trouble in the place recently. Could it be that you made it up to seduce me?" Then he tilted his head and turned to the old Taoist priest and asked respectfully: "Immortal, this kid lied three times, but is it really what he said? "

The old Taoist priest narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Nian twice, nodded and said with a slight smile: "What this little brother said is pretty much the same. It's not as simple as just guiding the way. I saw that this little brother of yours yesterday is quite a talented person." , coupled with strong yang energy and pure bones, he was the first to go to the Song Dynasty to slay demons and eliminate demons, so he decided privately that this young man would go with Pindao.

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhou understood that the old Taoist priest really went there under the name of Taoyuan Tower, and he suddenly believed in him a lot more. His expression changed from the past, and he said with joy: "The immortal is right, although this boy is not very good." But this guy's cleverness can still help. Immortal Chief, any guy in Taoyuan Tower you think you like can be dragged to the Song Mansion to beat him. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, but never catch monsters. The momentum has weakened! It’s good to cheer from the sidelines!”

The old Taoist priest quickly waved his hand and said no.

Yu Nian was stunned. Today, he really responded to Shopkeeper Zhou's words, "The sun is coming out in the west!" This was the first time that he heard the always mean Taoyuanlou Shopkeeper praise him like this.
