If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 156 Fighting with the Half-Immortal

In a blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival is here.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival. On this day, the county town is busy with cars and people.

In the morning, Ding Xiu and Bai Suzhen strolled down the street together.

As for Xiaoqing...she originally liked to join in the fun, but unfortunately she didn't dare to join in the fun like the Dragon Boat Festival. She could only hide at home and didn't dare to step out.

This is because on the Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to drinking realgar wine, every household also has the custom of sprinkling some realgar in the yard and at the base of the wall to drive away poison.

If she goes out on the street, there's no guarantee that her true colors will be revealed at any time, and then the fun will be great.

"Tanghulu, fragrant and sweet candied haws..."

A vendor selling candied haws came over.

"Ms. sir, I want to eat candied haws on a stick..."

Bai Suzhen tugged on Ding Xiu's sleeve, looking coquettish.

In fact, she didn't want to eat candied haws on a stick, she just wanted to enjoy the smell of fireworks in this world and the warm daily life between husband and wife.

"Haha, if you want to eat, buy it!" Ding Xiu walked up and bought a bunch and handed it to Bai Suzhen.

Bai Suzhen took a bite and said with a satisfied look on her face: "Yes, it's delicious. Please try it, sir."

She deliberately handed the bitten spot to Ding Xiu.

Ding Xiu smiled and took the whole candied haws in his mouth.

Then he looked at Bai Suzhen and said with a meaningful expression: "It's delicious..."

"Disgusting!" Bai Suzhen raised her hand and slapped Ding Xiu with a shy look on her face.

The two continued to move forward, and when they reached a bridge, there was a sudden quarrel in front of them.

When I stepped forward, I saw that it was two scholars arguing with an old man who was setting up a divination stall.

The old man who sets up a divination stall is very talkative. There is a sign in front of the stall, and he calls himself "Luo Banxian". The sign also reads "Tiekou Shenjuan, calculate the past life, calculate the present life, calculate the next life..."

After just one glance, Bai Suzhen whispered to Ding Xiu: "This old man has an evil spirit about him. I'm afraid he is not a good person."

"Ok!"

Ding Xiu nodded, deeply convinced.

As the saying goes, appearance comes from the heart. You can basically tell what kind of person a person is from his face.

Of course, not everyone can see this, including those fortune tellers who set up street stalls. Ninety-nine percent of them are half-assed or even magicians.

After listening for a while, the two finally heard the reason for each other's dispute.

The two scholars, one named Zhang Sheng and the other Zheng Sheng, have always been on good terms with each other, and today they made an appointment to go shopping together.

When he walked to the bridge, Zheng Sheng stepped forward and asked Luo Banxian to do a divination on a whim to see if he had a chance to go to high school.

Luo Banxian talked in the fog for a long time, saying that Zheng had the appearance of being rich and powerful in his life, but he was also a small person. What if he couldn't reach the small person level?

This is actually the trick of the fortune teller.

For example, if someone is calculating whether to give birth to a son or a daughter, he will definitely say that he is lucky, but he is guilty of something... To put it bluntly, he just wants to make more money.

But Luo Banxian's mind was a bit too dark. After all, he actually wanted to charge five thousand dollars.

Perhaps, he saw Zheng Sheng's luxurious clothes and wanted to make a fortune.

What is the concept of Wuguan Qian?According to the current current price, a pound of pork costs about 30 cents. A thousand cents can buy more than 300 catties of pork, and five cents can buy a thousand or several hundred catties of pork.

Ordinary people save a little, and their annual expenses are only one or two guan. Luo Banxian asked for five guan when he opened his mouth. Isn't this clear extortion?
Zheng Sheng naturally refused, so he and Zhang Sheng argued with Naluo Banxian.

Zhang Sheng had a strong temper and angrily scolded Na Luo Banxian for being a liar: "Everyone comes to you for divination just to have fun. It's understandable that you charge dozens of pennies. You're going to have to ask for five strings to open your mouth. Why are you still here?" Do you really think of yourself as a semi-immortal? I think you are a complete liar!"

"Yes, yes, liar..."

"Looking at his sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, is he still half-immortal?"

"that is……"

The melon-eating audience also followed suit.

Unexpectedly, Na Luo Banxian didn't seem angry at all, but said cheerfully: "Young people are more angry, I can understand.

Since you two think I am a liar, okay, I won’t accept the money for today’s hexagram.

However, I still want to give this young master a hexagram for free. Seeing that the young master’s hall is dark, I calculated with my fingers that there will be a bloody disaster within three days. Be careful, be careful! "

After saying that, he closed the stall and left.

After Na Luo Banxian left, Zhang Sheng and the others, as well as the onlookers, slowly dispersed.

Bai Suzhen frowned and said, "I'm afraid Zhang Sheng won't survive more than three days."

Ding Xiu knew why she said that.

Because he could see clearly just now that Luo Banxian had done something to Zhang Sheng, but no one else could see it, and Zhang Sheng was also kept in the dark.

However, he smiled and said: "Since you and I have seen it, how can we stand by and watch? You don't have to worry about this matter, just let my husband do it."

Let’s talk about Zhang Sheng’s side.

In the evening, he bid farewell to Zheng Sheng and went home alone.

As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, a figure walked over...

"Brother, stay!"

Zhang Sheng looked at the other party with a surprised look on his face, subconsciously bowed his hands and asked, "I wonder what's going on, brother?"

"Ding Xiu, I saw my brother arguing with Naluo Banxian by the bridge today..."

Zhang Sheng suddenly said: "Oh, so that's it. I wonder why Brother came here all the way...?"

"Brother, I'm afraid I don't know that Luo Banxian is not an ordinary Mr. Xiangming, but a charlatan, and he has already made a dirty trick against you..."

Having said this, Ding Xiu took out a small brocade bag and handed it to Zhang Sheng.

"Brother, what is this?" Zhang Sheng looked surprised.

"Remember to keep this tip bag close to your body, even when sleeping. It can help you resolve this disaster..."

Ding Xiu gave a few words of warning, then turned around and drifted away.

"Brother..."

When Zhang Sheng finally came to his senses, he subconsciously called out, only to find that Ding Xiu's figure had disappeared without a trace.

"This……"

Zhang Sheng still looked surprised and confused.

After being stunned for a while, I finally took the kit into my arms with the mentality of giving it a try.

That night.

At midnight, Zhang Sheng always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

In fact, he has always been a person who does not believe in evil spirits... Of course, this does not mean that he does not believe in ghosts, gods, and the like.

After all, there are too many monsters and monsters in this world. Even if you have not seen them with your own eyes, you have heard about them a lot.

He does not believe in evil because he feels that he is a righteous person and is not afraid of a distorted shadow. He has a righteous heart and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

But this time, what he provoked was not a ghost, but a person. Ding Xiu had told him before that Luo Banxian was a charlatan.

Regarding the charlatan, he had heard many rumors in books, among the people, or from his classmates.

Although there are some charlatans who follow the right path, most of them follow crooked ways.

Thinking carefully about Luo Banxian's hateful look before leaving, Zhang Sheng still felt a little nervous.At midnight, Zhang Sheng suddenly heard a slight sound in his ear.

In the past, he usually slept with the windows half open, but tonight due to special circumstances, he locked both the doors and windows.

Zhang Sheng was shocked. He looked over with the faint light and found that the door latch was slowly lifting.

Because of the dim light, he could only see the door latch being lifted, but he couldn't see clearly whether something was reaching in and moving it.

An ordinary person would probably be frightened by this.

After all, there is no one else in the house. If this happens, either there is a thief outside trying to open the door latch, or... something unclean wants to get in.

Fortunately, Zhang Sheng was quite brave, and Ding Xiu had warned him not to panic, and no matter what happened or what he saw, just pretend to be asleep.

Therefore, Zhang Sheng suppressed the fear in his heart and quietly opened a slit in his eye to observe.

After a while, the door latch was opened, and a figure floated in.

As soon as the door opened, the moon outside came in, and the light in the room became a little brighter.

At this time, Zhang Sheng finally saw clearly that the person who walked into the room turned out to be a paper man. In the hand of the paper man was a knife that was also made of paper.

Although it was just a paper man, the paper man's actions were no different from those of ordinary people. As soon as he entered the room, he strode towards the bed and slowly raised the knife in his hand.

At this time, Zhang Sheng finally felt the power of the charlatan.

You don't need to guess, it must be Na Luo Banxian's fault.

Once Zhang Sheng is killed, not only will he be relieved of his hatred, but once the matter is spread, it will truly fulfill his reputation as a semi-immortal.

After all, he said that Zhang Sheng would suffer a bloody disaster within three days.

Zhang Sheng's heart was beating loudly, and he could hardly help but want to jump up and rush outside.

However, he finally held back and subconsciously took out the bag of tips that Ding Xiu had given him.

At this time, the paper man had already walked to the bed, and the thin paper knife in his hand was slashing towards Zhang Sheng's neck.

"what……"

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, and his body subconsciously rolled towards the bed.

At the same time, the brocade bag suddenly released a glimmer of light, and a small flying sword flew out from the brocade bag, and chopped off the paper man's arm with one strike.

Then with a spin, he cut off the paper man's head again.

The sword light flew back again, but the paper man fell to the ground lightly.

Zhang Sheng broke out in a cold sweat and lay on the bed for a while. When there was no movement, he carefully sat up and glanced at the paper man on the ground with lingering fear.

At that moment, he truly felt the approach of death.

After being stunned for a while, Zhang Sheng quickly got out of bed and lit the candle, then dropped some wax oil on the paper figure, and then lit it on fire.

After the paper man turned into ashes, Zhang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking about it, he finally couldn't help his curiosity. He carefully opened the bag and took a look. He found that there was a talisman inside, as well as a small pocket sword folded out of yellow paper, with some paintings on it. The inscriptions he couldn't understand.

"It's amazing..."

Zhang Sheng was filled with emotion and put the kit away as if it were a treasure.

the other side.

Na Luo Banxian sat cross-legged in the room, making magic formulas with one hand, waving the sword with two fingers of the other hand, and muttering something in his mouth.

There was a small paper figure standing on the table, moving with his fingers and waving a small paper sword.

Suddenly, the paper man's arms fell off, and then his head fell off. The paper man lost control and fell to the table.

"Ok?"

Luo Banxian was shocked.

He didn't need to do any math to know that the plan had failed.

However, he firmly believed that Zhang Sheng would not be able to break his magic, and there must be an expert secretly helping him behind the scenes.

Not only did this old guy not know how to restrain himself, but his murderous intent became even stronger. He snorted heavily: "Humph, you can't escape tonight, but you can't escape tomorrow night!"

He was determined to get rid of Zhang Sheng, otherwise, wouldn't he be living up to his reputation as a "half-immortal"?
Early the next morning, Zhang Sheng went to search around the streets, hoping to find Ding Xiu with a sense of luck and tell him what happened last night.

It's a pity that the county town is neither big nor small. How easy is it to meet someone by chance?

Just when Zhang Sheng returned home, unexpectedly, Ding Xiu appeared in front of him again.

Zhang Sheng was overjoyed and bowed his head repeatedly: "I would like to thank my benefactor for saving my life."

Ding Xiu smiled and raised his hand: "No need to be so polite."

An invisible force lifted Zhang Sheng's hand, making Zhang Sheng look even more pious, knowing that he had met a real master.

"My benefactor, that old guy really did something last night..."

Zhang Sheng told in detail what happened last night.

After listening, Ding Xiu said: "Although you escaped last night, the evil spirit between your eyebrows is even stronger. It seems that the old guy is completely angry and will definitely kill you..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but cup his hands and said: "Please save me, I will definitely reward my benefactor generously."

Ding Xiu frowned: "What? Do you think I'm here for money?"

"No, no, no, my benefactor must not misunderstand..." Zhang Sheng waved his hands hurriedly, and then gave a long bow: "I will judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I hope that my benefactor will not blame you."

"Okay, let's go in first and then talk..."

Later, Ding Xiu arranged some decorations in the yard of Zhang Sheng's home, and then sat in the yard with Zhang Sheng to drink and chat.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Sheng was surprised to realize how knowledgeable Ding Xiu was and couldn't help but look surprised.

After subconsciously asking, I found out that Ding Xiu was a teacher at the academy.

So he said with admiration: "I didn't expect that Mr. Sir is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he is also proficient in Taoism. It's really impressive."

"The smallest motive is not worthy of the Tao..."

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

Zhang Sheng subconsciously looked at the night sky, and then asked Ding Xiu cautiously: "Sir, don't you need to set up an altar?"

"Setting up an altar?" Ding Xiu smiled and waved his hand: "When dealing with a mere charlatan, why waste time setting up an altar?"

Be humble when you should be humble, and be confident when you should be confident.

This time, before midnight, Na Luo Banxian couldn't wait to take action.

The first thing that appeared was still the same paper man as last night. It seemed that this old guy wanted to explore the truth first.

And this time, Zhang Sheng finally had his eyes opened.

Last night, he had been in panic, and the light in the room was dim, so he couldn't see clearly.

But tonight, he was sitting in the yard, with the moonlight in the sky, and he could see everything clearly.

As soon as the paper man appeared in the yard, he went straight to Zhang Sheng and waved the paper knife in his hand.

The seemingly thin paper knife actually made a slight whistling sound.

"puff!"

Ding Xiu flicked his hand, and then the paper figure flew several feet away, and then collapsed into a pile of paper scraps, scattering to the ground.
