From the World of Uncle Nine, The Heavens Summon Gods to Refining Generals

Chapter 103

"Daozhang Shen, this is probably what happened. Look..."

After Li Baiwan finished speaking, he looked at Shen Lipu with a slightly expectant look.

Seeing Li Baiwan looking over, Shen Lipu put down his chopsticks and said to him: "Master Li, please be patient. This matter is not difficult. I will solve it for you tonight."

"Good good!"

Seeing Shen Lipu's willingness to agree, Li Wanwan accepted it without saying anything more. He just kept urging Shen Lipu and Wen Cai Qiu Sheng to have a drink and dinner.

After the meal was finished, the guests and hosts had a good time, and it was soon evening.

At night, the front yard of Li's house was brightly lit, and a Dharma altar was erected.

On weekdays, those who cook, chop wood, do laundry, men, women, young and old, and domestic helpers all gather together to look at the three of them.

In front of the altar, Wencai and Qiu Sheng both wore the same robes as Uncle Jiu, and they both stood in front of the altar.

I saw Wen Cai pointing his mahogany sword with a serious look on his face. He closed his eyes and meditated while muttering something in his mouth. Then he picked up the Sanqing Bell and shook it, and then suddenly hit the pottery dish that was upside down on the table.

There was a "pop" sound, and the pottery dish shattered. Then Wencai picked up a talisman underneath, lit it, and put it into a bowl of water soaked with grapefruit leaves.

Afterwards, Qiu Sheng stepped forward and took the water bowl, picked up the branches and leaves inside, dipped them in the water and sprinkled them in circles to the onlookers.

This is actually a ritual of making eye-opening water, and has nothing to do with catching ghosts itself.

However, there are many benefits to having such a ceremony.

First, it can enhance one's authority, increase one's professionalism, and make others seem to understand but not understand, creating a feeling of unclearness and authority.

Second, it increases the participation of these people.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying of applying talisman water to cure diseases. From the perspective of Buddhism and Taoism, Buddhism has Guanyin Bodhisattva holding a jade purification bottle with water in it.

In Taoism, there is Taiyi who saves the suffering god, and scatters willow branches in his hands all over the world in the ten directions.

Therefore, Fa Shui's image among the people is still very high.

The most important thing is that the water can also help open their eyes, allowing them to see Taoist priests catching ghosts.

This will naturally make them more convinced of themselves.

So when Qiu Sheng sprinkled water on them, not only did they not resist, some even asked him to sprinkle more out of curiosity.

After sprinkling the water, the two turned their eyes to Shen Lipu and asked him what to do next.

Shen Lipu nodded to them and indicated that they should proceed as planned. When the two saw this, they understood immediately.

They all picked up the Sanqing Bell and talismans from the altar, then one held the money sword and the other held the peach wood sword, and walked towards the backyard step by step with serious expressions.

When everyone behind him saw this, they were about to follow him out of curiosity, but were unexpectedly stopped by Butler Li.

Then, everyone and Li Wanwan looked in the direction of Shen Lipu, asking with their eyes if they could follow him in.

"Don't be impatient. Don't go into the backyard yet. Stand on the wall or at the door and watch from a distance."

Shen Lipu knew in advance that there were ghosts in the backyard, so this time, like the previous Maoshan Ming Fang ghosts, it was an exhibition match.

But this is a formal one, not a self-directed and self-acted one like Mao Shanming.

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately found a good seat. Seeing how fast they all ran, Butler Li quickly moved the chairs and placed them at the front entrance of the backyard. He respectfully invited Mr. Li and his wife to come forward and sit and watch.

Then everyone stood and sat, all coming to the door and wall of the backyard. Shen Lipu also sat next to Li Wanwan, keeping an eye on the inside in order to respond to possible crises at any time.

In the courtyard.The entire backyard is not big, only three or four acres of land. There is a pavilion, a small pool, a few trees, a small bridge, and a rockery.

Qiu Sheng took out the compass that he had prepared in advance. After thinking about it, he pointed at the compass and the pointer on it started to rotate.

Let me mention here that when a ghost deliberately hides itself, ordinary people or ordinary Taoist priests cannot actually see it.

Therefore, it is necessary to use a magic weapon like a compass to force it out.

At this time, the compass pointer in Qiu Sheng's hand suddenly turned twice, and then the pointer pointed to the right of the two of them.

The two looked at the direction of the compass, nodded to each other, and then cautiously walked forward with weapons in hand.

At first, the compass was still a little erratic. After the two of them walked about 20 steps, the compass needle stabilized and stopped shaking up and down, which showed that the ghost might not be far away from them.

Seeing this, Qiu Sheng handed the compass to Wen Cai next to him, raised the money sword in his hand, took a good posture, exerted force on his arm, and with a "swish" sound, the money sword flew out instantly.

"Ah~"

A voice sounded instantly, and then, not far from them, a white figure appeared.

"Wow!"

When the onlookers saw it, some of them were so frightened that they fell off the wall, while others were lying on the trees to watch, and quickly hugged the branches tightly.

Even Li Baiwan and his wife, who were still sitting firmly on their chairs just now, were so frightened that they stood up.

"Shen... Taoist Master Shen... this, this, this..."

Despite the lively chat Li Wanwan had with Shen Lipu just now, he seemed to know everything about astronomy and geography, but in fact he had never seen a ghost. When he saw the ghost at first sight, he was frightened and stuttered.

And his wife, a rather exquisitely dressed woman, was so frightened that she screamed instantly and grabbed Li Wanwan's arm and wouldn't let go.

"Executive member Li, Mrs. Li. Don't be impatient. Don't worry, it's okay!"

Shen Lipu had seen this too much and didn't take it seriously at all. He even had the leisure to pick up the tea brought by the butler and took a sip.

"Ah, is this...really okay?"

Seeing Shen Lipu's steady appearance, Li Wanwan felt relieved and asked cautiously.

"Hahahaha~"

Shen Lipu laughed and then said to Li Baiwan.

"Please sit back and watch what Uncle Ninth Master does, and there is a poor Taoist by his side. I will not let Mr. Li, you and Madam Li get any harm."

"okay!"

The two of them saw that Shen Lipu didn't look flustered at all, and after hearing a few words of comfort from him, they felt less flustered at the moment.

After agreeing, the two of them carefully sat back on the chairs.

Looking at the other side, the literary talent Qiusheng and the ghost were already fighting.

This ghost's strength was pretty good, unlike the previous ghosts which had no intelligence. This ghost knew that the two men were attacking sharply and frequently dodged the swords and talismans in their hands.

Seeing this situation, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little panicked. After all, they were players who had only played downwind games and had no experience in facing balanced games or headwind games. It was normal to panic.

"Well, not bad!"

Shen Lipu thought to himself.
