Maoshan Taoist priests practice falsehood and become reality

Chapter 40 Black Car
  The heavy rain kept splashing on the front window of the car, which once made Su Heng suspect that he was driving a submarine in the deep sea.

Visibility was very low, so Su Heng had to release the accelerator and let the little Beetle crawl slowly on the national highway to avoid oncoming cars.

"I forgot to read the almanac when I went out."

After approaching Dingyun Town, the signal got worse and worse, and the navigation automatically switched to offline mode.

Thinking of the experience in Baihua Village, Su Heng immediately recited the Mind Purifying Mantra.

Fortunately, everything was not an illusion, it was really just a signal failure.

"There are still two kilometers to the destination, and the journey is expected to take six minutes."

For almost ten minutes, Su Heng didn't meet the second car. Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, he couldn't help but let down his guard.

Suddenly, a dark car jumped out of the rain in front. It didn't turn on its double flashes or whistle. Like a silent knight, it charged towards Su Heng head on.

Seeing that the two cars were about to collide, Su Heng suddenly turned the steering wheel and pressed on the brakes at the critical moment.

The two cars passed each other, and the rain was so heavy that Su Heng could only vaguely see the blurry outline of the driver of the other party across the passenger seat.

Both cars stopped. Through the rearview mirror, Su Heng saw two red lights on the rear of the black car, like a pair of eyes, watching him quietly.

The world seemed to be quiet at this moment, and even the sound of rain hitting the car windows disappeared.

A layer of mist appeared on the rearview mirror, and the temperature inside the car dropped so suddenly that Su Heng got goosebumps.

Everything strange lasted for less than three seconds. The taillights of the black car went out, and the knight set off again, silently disappearing into the vast rain curtain, as if he had never appeared before.

Heavy raindrops beat on the front window of the car, and the crackling sound brought Su Heng back to reality.

Su Heng clenched the steering wheel with lingering fear.

What did you feel like just now?

Delusion?
  At 3:15, the blue Beetle slowly drove into the streets of Dingyun Town. The heavy rain continues, and the town's drainage system cannot withstand the pressure brought by the precipitation, and the water level on the streets has a tendency to overflow the steps.

Su Heng finally found a parking space to park. When she held an umbrella and was about to ask for directions, she couldn't find a pedestrian.

Many shops along the street closed early. In desperation, he walked several dozen meters and finally found a small shop at the corner.

The boss was an uncle in a gray vest. He was eating melon seeds and admiring the town after the rain. "Love in the Rain" was also playing on the radio. From his expression, he seemed to be caught up in some kind of love memory.

"Boss, how do I get to Lao Xu's Chinese Medicine Store?"

The boss, whose train of thought was interrupted, glanced at Su Heng and asked unhurriedly: "Want to buy cigarettes?"

Good guy, usually all you need to do is ask for directions and buy a bottle of water, but now you have to buy a pack of cigarettes?
  There was no other way. The town's terrain was complicated, so Su Heng could only accept it: "Buy."

"There are 15 and 40, which one should I buy?"

Su Heng thought for a while: "40."

The boss took a pack of cigarettes from the cupboard, and when he handed it out, his eyes on Su Heng became much friendlier, as if he was praising this guy for being so smart.

"The nearby base station was struck by lightning. There is no signal and it cannot be scanned out. Please pay in cash."

Su Heng handed over a 100-yuan cash note. The boss flicked it in his hand and confirmed it was a genuine note. He made change and said:

"The Chinese medicine shop is just five minutes walk straight along this street. But if you want to find Lao Xu, I suggest you go diagonally opposite. Did you see the house with potted plants on the balcony on the second floor? Yes, there is a tailor shop next to it. I I just saw Lao Xu go in."

Taking the change, Su Heng said: "Thank you."

Sure enough, it is expensive for a reason. If you buy it for 15 yuan, you will not see anyone at the Chinese medicine shop, which is equivalent to walking a long way in vain.

Following the instructions of the canteen owner, Su Heng came to the store next to the tailor shop. Most of the storefronts in the town still use traditional red wooden doors. Most of the doors are long removable wooden panels. On the left side, there is a sliding door with a polished door above the door lock. Shiny brass handle.

Su Heng knocked on the door and shouted downstairs:
  "Is anyone there? Is Dr. Xu here?"

His voice was drowned by the sound of rain and no one responded.

The door was not closed. After waiting for a while and there was no movement, Su Heng simply pushed the door open and entered.

The light was not turned on in the front hall when entering, so the light was slightly dim. The front hall was empty, not many things were stored, and there was a battery car being charged.

Su Heng noticed that there were shoe prints that had not yet dried up on the hexagonal red floor tiles. They were about 40 yards away and went through the front hall and led to the stairs in front.

"It should be Mr. Xu's footprints."

Following the footprints, Su Heng had just climbed up to the second floor when he heard a man shouting: "I don't want to drink! I don't want to drink!"

Following the voice, Su Heng came to a bedroom

There are three people in the room.

One was a man lying on the bed struggling violently, one was a woman standing by the bed wiping her tears, and the other was a thin old man holding a potion in his hand.

The little old man must be Lao Xu. He is persuading the man lying in bed to take medicine.

Seeing Su Heng appear, Lao Xu said, "I happened to come over to help and hold him down."

Su Heng put Agarwood aside and saw the man on the bed's lips turned white and his body trembling uncontrollably. He frowned and asked deliberately:
  "what happened to him?"

"Heatstroke." Lao Xu explained casually, "Come on, lock your hands and be careful not to let him knock over the medicine."

This man definitely didn't suffer from heat stroke.

Su Heng, who had reached the second level of Gu Yi's mental training, had already seen changes in his left eye. He could clearly see that there was a faint black air lingering on the man's shoulders.

There was no doubt that the man was cursed.

Su Heng held the man down with both hands. The man seemed to be greatly stimulated and tried desperately to escape, but he could not move at all before being suppressed by absolute power.

"Young man is very strong." Lao Xu praised.

Su Heng smiled slightly and said, "Uncle is just sick and stimulated. I will recite a mind-purifying mantra to him."

"Read it, if you are really possessed. Maybe it will be more effective than drinking my medicine." Lao Xu used a spoon to pry open the man's locked teeth and poured the medicine in.

At the same time, Su Heng muttered something:
  "The Taishang Taixing is always adaptable, exorcises evil spirits, protects life and protects the body, brings wisdom, clarity and peace of mind, and the three souls will never lose their souls."

After reciting the incantation and just finishing the medicine, unexpectedly, the man who was twitching all over actually calmed down, and a blush appeared on his pale face.

The man opened his eyes and asked drowsily, "Where am I?"

"The medicine can cure the disease, a miracle doctor, a miracle doctor! Thank you, old man!" Seeing her husband recover, the woman cried with joy and praised him repeatedly.

Lao Xu was puzzled. The potion had just been poured down, so how could it take effect before it was digested?
  Could it be that the man was really possessed by an evil spirit and was cured by this young man's divine spell?

"What are you thinking about? If the spell is effective, my hair will become an immortal. I am getting more and more confused as I get older."

Old Xu shook his head and asked the woman: "It's just my job, no need to say thank you. Who is this little brother from your family?"

The woman was a little confused: "Isn't he invited by the old gentleman to help?"

Su Heng quickly stood up and explained: "Mr. Xu, I was entrusted by my master Wang Zhiyuan to buy bone-strengthening patches."
