And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 105 Rakshasa Ghost Bone
"Pimpedao's surname is Chen Mingyuan, and his mother's surname is Zhang. They are from Pingliang County."

Chen Yuan explained to this servant.

The servant was taken aback when he heard the words, although he had only been in Zhang's mansion for a few years, but he vaguely heard from other servants that in Pingliang County next door, his master had a younger sister who had married.

And judging from the age of the young Taoist priest in front of him, if the mother of the other party is really his master's sister.

That is to say...

"You are the young nephew?"

The servant came to his senses and said with surprise on his face.

Chen Yuan nodded slowly.

"Please wait a moment, I will report to the master, the master is at home."

The servant hurriedly said.

After finishing speaking, the servant left straight away, turned around and went back to the mansion to report.

Chen Yuan was not in a hurry, he just stood at the door with a gift and waited patiently.

The visit to his uncle this time went very smoothly, and there was no scene of evil slaves bullying others.

"It seems that my uncle has a very strict family tradition."

Chen Yuan said in words.

Before making Chen Yuan wait for a long time, Chen Yuan's uncle Zhang Yintao brought more than a dozen servants, the housekeeper of Zhang's house, and his second son, and opened the door of the house to welcome Chen Yuan's arrival.

Zhang Yintao is less than fifty years old. He wears a blue round-necked gown and a Confucian scarf on his head. He is tall and burly, with deep features and thick eyebrows. He was a warrior, and when he saw Chen Yuan waiting outside the door, he strode towards Chen Yuan.

"Chen Yuan, I thought you forgot your uncle."

Seeing Chen Yuan standing outside the door, Zhang Yintao happily walked up to Chen Yuan, took Chen Yuan's arm and said.

"Meet uncle."

After Chen Yuan saluted Zhang Yintao, he handed over the gift he had prepared earlier.

"Long time no see, I brought you a present."

Next to Zhang Yintao, the short and witty housekeeper was about to accept the gift for his master, but Zhang Yintao stopped him with his hand.

Zhang Yintao took the gift personally, and opened it in front of Chen Yuan. Seeing an inkstone inside, he said happily:

"Sure enough, he is my uncle's nephew, and he still remembers my uncle's preferences."

He then ordered the steward next to him:
"Housekeeper, put this Duan inkstone in my study. This year, master, I will use this inkstone for reading and writing."

Although this inkstone is ordinary, it is just a side inkstone, but it depends on who gave it to you.

I don't know how many good inkstones are better than this Duan inkstone in his family, but this Duan inkstone was given to him by his nephew who hadn't seen him for many years.

Although the Duan inkstone is common, it depends on who it is for. Among ordinary scholars, this Duan inkstone can be regarded as a high-end product with a high price.

Moreover, compared with other famous inkstones, Duan inkstone also has some advantages that are not inferior to famous inkstones. Its texture is dense and firm, tender and delicate, and warm and moist like jade. It can be said to be a great gift from ordinary people.

"Yes, sir."

The butler knew his master's reaction was really happy, and quickly took the inkstone.

"Looking at your attire, is this a monk or a Taoist priest?"

"There was some chance before, and I had to meet a famous teacher and worshiped Taoism."

"Hey, a young man who studied hard, why did he become a monk and become a Taoist priest?"

"Three years ago, I received a letter from your elder brother, Wen Qing, saying that you were going to visit Linjiang County to study. Originally, your room was prepared for you by servants, but you disappeared halfway. Your brother also went to Linjiang to look for him. But you, we all thought that you encountered an accident on the road, and I only received a letter from your brother not long ago, and learned that you returned safely."

"It was a disaster three years ago, but I didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise."

"Okay, whether it's continuing to study, or becoming a Taoist monk, it's a good thing to be able to live well."

Seeing Chen Yuan wearing Taoist robes and dressing up like a Taoist priest, Zhang Yintao had a look of pity, but he soon figured it out.

"By the way, these are your two elder brothers, Junyan and Yunying."

Zhang Yintao pointed, followed by his side, one was about the same age as Chen Yuan, the other was about the same age as Chen Yuan's elder brother Chen Wenqing, his facial features were half or six points similar to his uncle Zhang Yintao, his two sons said.

"Meet the two brothers."

Chen Yuan bowed to the two of them.

"It's all my family."

"The whole family is welcome."

Zhang Junyan and Zhang Yunying laughed.

"Let's go, don't stand at the door chatting, go into the room with uncle and talk."

Uncle Zhang Yintao said.

Chen Yuan had nothing to do, the family then entered Zhang's mansion. After entering the Zhang's mansion, Chen Yuan first saw a huge screen wall, on which was engraved with a lifelike pattern of the unicorn, a divine beast that wards off evil spirits in the town house.

Bypassing the screen wall, there is a huge front yard with a length and width of [-] feet. On the left and right sides and in front are houses made of blue tiles and green bricks.

But as soon as Chen Yuan came in, he found that there was an evil cloud like a dark cloud over the entire Zhang Mansion.

This evil energy is not Yin energy, nor is it evil energy. I can't see the source, even Chen Yuan saw it for the first time.

"Could it be that there are ghosts occupying uncle's house?"

Chen Yuan speculated in his heart.

"Chen Yuan, have you come to my house to play with me?"

As soon as Chen Yuan entered the courtyard, he saw a fat, chubby, fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy in a Chinese dress with a round neck, walking towards him, and greeted Chen Yuan with a smile.

Chen Yuan knew that there were three brothers in his uncle's family. The eldest, Zhang Junyan, was born to a concubine, and the second, Zhang Yunying, and the third, Zhang Nuer, were born to his original spouse, Chen Yuan's aunt.

The reason why the third child was named Zhang Nu'er is because the third child was weak and sickly, and had congenital mental defects. He didn't learn to speak until he was ten years old. The uncle deliberately learned the way of the country and gave him a humble name, hoping to be able to Bless him to grow up safely.

The last time Chen Yuan came to Zhang's mansion, he also met Zhang Nuer, but Zhang Nuer was just born at that time, and when his parents passed away, his uncle Zhang Yintao took Zhang Nuer to Pingliang County to participate in the His parents' funeral.

"That's right, I'm here to play with you."

Chen Yuan laughed.

While speaking, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Nuer in his hand.

But his actions startled the uncle's family next to him, because in their line of sight, there was no one beside Chen Yuan just now.

"Son, what are you doing here? Are you waiting for me?"

Chen Yuan asked the slave who was caught by him.

"I just remember playing here, I don't know what I'm here for..."

Zhang Nuer said with a confused face.

"Ah...my head hurts."

While talking, Zhang Nuer suddenly hugged his head with his other empty hand, and said with an extremely painful expression.

"Chen Yuan, did you make a mistake? At this time, Nu'er is not in the mansion at all. He and his mother are recuperating in the manor in the countryside outside the city?"

Seeing that Chen Yuan seemed to be talking to the air in front of him, his uncle Zhang Yintao said with a chill on his back while being confused.

"Is my slave recuperating in the manor outside the city?"

Chen Yuan was thoughtful.

He had already seen that the Zhang Nuer caught by him was naturally not the real Zhang Nuer.

But his soul.

It should be one of his three souls and seven souls.

Chen Yuan took out a soul-absorbing talisman, waved it towards Zhang Nuer in front of him, and collected Zhang Nuer's remnant soul into the soul-absorbing talisman.

"Uncle, I entered the Taoist sect and learned some skills. Maybe I can cure Nuer's illness. You can bring Zhang Nuer back and let me have a look."

After Chen Yuan put away the soul-receiving talisman, he spoke humanely to his uncle's family.

Uncle Zhang Yintao's family heard the words, and thought that Chen Yuan seemed to be talking to Zhang Nuer just now, and felt that it was not fake.

Zhang Yintao immediately said to his two sons: "Yunying, Junyan, you two go outside the city and bring your slave back for Chen Yuan to have a look at."

"Yes."

After Zhang Yunying and Zhang Junyan agreed, they turned and left the house to go to do the things their father had told them to do.

"Chen Yuan, it seems that you have been missing for these years. After becoming a Taoist priest, you have also learned some Taoist skills."

After his two sons left, his uncle Zhang Yintao said to Chen Yuan.

While speaking, he invited Chen Yuan to sit down in the main hall, and ordered his servants to serve him tea.

"It's okay, I have learned some Weibo skills."

"This time I come to Linjiang County, I have to stay in Linjiang County for a while longer."

"The main purpose of this trip is to visit my uncle. I don't need to live in my uncle's house. I am a Taoist priest now. It may be inconvenient to live in my uncle's house. In addition, I have already found a place to stay before I came to my uncle's house. It’s in a Taoist temple outside the city.”

"You came to Jiang County, but you found a place to live in advance. Why, are you afraid that your uncle will treat you poorly?"

Chen Yuan heard the dissatisfaction in his uncle's words, and explained with a smile:
"Uncle misunderstood. I came out this time mainly for sightseeing. I passed through Linjiang County. I came here to visit relatives and friends. I don't plan to stay in Linjiang County for a long time, so I don't want to bother my uncle's family."

"Then you live in a Taoist temple outside Linjiang County now?"

"Chunhu Watch."

"Chun Hu Guan!"

"This is a famous temple in Linjiang County. The master of Fuhu Temple, Daoist Xuyun, is a master of Taoism. Not only the big gentry in Linjiang County want to make friends, but even the magistrate of Linjiang County wants to make friends with him. Courtesy is added."

"I and Master Xuyun, the master of Fuhu Temple, are both disciples of the Taoist sect. We are both disciples of the Taoist ancestor, so we decided to settle down in Fuhu Temple."

"Forget it, since you settled down in Fuhu Temple, then uncle won't persuade you anymore."

While talking with Chen Yuan, uncle Zhang Yintao let out a long sigh.

He knew that things of a kind flock together and people are divided into groups. Since his nephew can settle down in Fuhuguan, it means that he has some friendship with Daoist Xu Yun. I am afraid that his nephew is no longer an ordinary person.

I'm afraid that he may have become the same Taoist master as Master Xuyun, the master of Fuhu Temple.

"By the way, uncle, has something strange happened in your mansion recently?"

Chen Yuan asked his uncle Zhang Yintao.

What happened to Zhang Nuer was just an accident. Just now when he saw the evil spirit over Zhang's mansion like a cloud, Chen Yuan felt that there might be something else hidden about this matter.

"There is one thing to say about this strange thing."

Zhang Yintao pondered for a moment and said.

He and Chen Yuan are very close blood relatives, and they don't deny it.

"Your cousin, Junyan, is not interested in reading. Just like your brother Wenqing, he has some talent in arithmetic since he was a child. Later, when he grew up, he bought low and sold high, and started doing business. Let him take care of the business."

"Some time ago, on his way back from the prefecture of Chuzhou to deal with business, it is said that he met a mountain god on the way. The mountain god pointed out that his face was "three bright and bright, and wealth came from the sky". Look, as long as you do what he says, Junyan can make a fortune."

"Junyan was half-believing and skeptical, and found a cave in a deep mountain according to the location the other party said. Just as the mountain god said, he actually found a golden Buddha of the Western Regions in the cave."

"The Golden Buddha of the Western Regions is nearly one foot tall, with three faces and six arms, and red and sapphire embellishments all over his body, but his expression is half a smile, which looks a bit sinister and strange."

"This item is priceless, and Jun Yan felt that he had made a fortune, so he brought the golden Buddha back."

"Who knows that ever since the golden Buddha was brought home, the family has become uneasy. Not to mention my slave and your aunt have been sick one after another, and several servants in the family have died due to accidents."

"In the past few days, my uncle is preparing to go to Fuhu Temple to invite the master Xuyun to come and have a look at his house, but some ghosts have entered the house."

Zhang Yintao narrated what happened in Zhang's residence recently.

"Uncle, please take me to see the golden Buddha. I suspect that there may be something wrong with the golden Buddha."

Chen Yuan said to his uncle Zhang Yintao.

He even felt that the mountain gods that Zhang Junyan met on the way back were probably fake, pretending to be mountain goblins.

It is not uncommon for even the wife of the Lord of the Land to have a monster pretending to be a monster, and a monster pretending to be a mountain god to harm people.

"it is good."

Zhang Yintao didn't even hesitate for a moment, and agreed directly.

Although the golden Buddha was priceless, but Chen Yuan was his nephew, he was not worried that Chen Yuan would covet the golden Buddha.

What's more, he himself has some doubts about the golden Buddha, and feels that there is something wrong with the golden Buddha.

When the golden Buddha was not picked up, the family lived in peace and tranquility, but after the golden Buddha was brought back, the entire Zhang Mansion began to become troubled.

While talking, Zhang Yintao brought Chen Yuan to the back house of Zhang Mansion.

The golden Buddha was placed in the storeroom of Zhang's back house by him.

After Zhang Yintao used the key to unlock the storeroom door of Zhang's back house, Chen Yuan saw the golden Buddha on the shelf together with other treasures and antiques at a glance.

Just as Zhang Yintao said, this golden Buddha is one foot tall, has three faces and six arms, and is decorated with red and sapphires everywhere. It only looks like a smile, but it looks a bit sinister and weird, not like the authentic Buddha statue of Dayong.

"This thing is not a golden Buddha, but an evil thing, something like a Raksha ghost bone."

After Chen Yuan glanced at it, he said solemnly to his uncle Zhang Yintao who was standing beside him.

"What is a Raksha ghost bone?"

Zhang Yintao wondered.

"The so-called Rakshasa ghost bones, I also saw it in a Taoist travel book. It is said that some ghosts will use Rakshasa ghost bones to transform them into gold and silver treasures that people want. If someone is not determined, once greedy Thinking, it won't be long before the Raksha ghost bones will turn into poison, penetrate into the victim's body from the palms of the hands and feet, eat the heart and liver, take his life, swallow the soul of the person, and the person will die. "

Chen Yuan explained.

He also saw such a story about Raksha ghost bones in "Wujiao Zhenren's Travel Notes".

But at this moment, the golden Buddha in front of him is slightly different from the Raksha ghost bone.

Because if it was the Raksha ghost bone, his cousin Zhang Junyan would have died long ago.

But so far, Zhang Junyan is still alive and well.

It's just that one of Zhang's servants died in an accident, and my aunt and Zhang Nuer got sick. The situation is not too serious.

"How about that?"

Zhang Yintao was startled when he heard this.

"Uncle, don't panic. This thing is not a Rakshasa ghost bone, but just similar to a Rakshasa ghost bone. Let me make it a prototype and see what it is."

Chen Yuan said.

After the words fell, Chen Yuan reached out and knocked on the sword box behind him, and the rusty sword in the sword box flew out automatically.

I didn't see any movement of the Rusty Sword the moment it came out of the box.

Just as the rusty sword was unsheathed, a dazzling sword light flashed by. The golden Buddha placed on the shelf was broken through by this sword light and suddenly revealed its true colors.

I saw that it was about half a foot long, with two huge eye holes, a hideous and terrifying white skull.

The skull seemed to be conscious. After the rusty sword flew out of the sword box and broke its illusion with the sword light, it made a frightening scream like a human on the shelf, which made people feel bored.

Fortunately, the sound was just ugly, but it didn't do any harm to people.

"Uncle, can you see what this golden Buddha is?"

Chen Yuan asked his uncle Zhang Yintao beside him.

"Chen Yuan, is it possible to destroy this evil thing?"

Zhang Yintao said in fear.

When he thought of these days, his family actually put this evil thing at home and lived with it for more than a month, and he felt a twinge of fear.

Before, he still had some reluctance and greed for this golden Buddha. After all, a one-foot-high golden Buddha is priceless, and even the Zhang family, who is a rich family in a county, can't take it lightly. But no more thoughts.

No matter how precious the Golden Buddha is, it is not as precious as the lives of myself and my family.

"You don't need to destroy this thing. I'm afraid someone did it on purpose. Someone is after my cousin, or even your family. I'll just take this thing away."

Chen Yuan shook his head.

While speaking, he waved the sleeve of the Taoist robe, and the sleeve of the Taoist robe immediately swelled up. Chen Yuan pointed the sleeve at the skull, and the skull on the shelf was put into the sleeve of the Taoist robe by Chen Yuan.

After such a big skull was taken away by Chen Yuan, the sleeves of the Taoist robe could not be seen at all.

This is his success in practicing the "Hutian Mantra".

Whether it's the utensils in your hands, your clothes, or even your mouth and nose...

As long as there is space, it can be used as a medium to cast the Pot Heaven Curse.

"Chen Yuan, I haven't seen you for a few years, I'm afraid you are already a fairy."

Seeing that after Chen Yuan took away the skull, the sharp sword hanging in the air flew out of the sword box and flew back into the box again, Zhang Yintao sighed.

As far as he just saw, those spells that are comparable to the abilities of immortals, Zhang Yintao felt that even outside the city, the master Xu Yun, the master of Fuhu Temple, might not be as good as his nephew.

No wonder the other party was able to settle down in Fuhuguan, and still has friendship with Daoist Xuyun.
