Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 523 Bestowing Gold Talisman

When Li Xiuyuan and Teng Yunzi stopped for a moment.

A young man riding a healthy horse chased after him in a hurry, panting, and after a while, he had already caught up with the two of them.

The young man's name is Mu Sheng, and he is a commoner nearby. Although he has no fame, he is still a scholar.

"Where did the two Taoist priests go? They were still here before. I clearly saw that the two Taoist priests had heard my call and stopped to wait for me. Why did they disappear after chasing after me?" Mu Sheng was panting. Turning off his horse, he looked around.

But there were sparse forests nearby, and there was no second living figure outside the empty path.

"Isn't it a hell of a life?"

Mu Sheng was startled, and seeing that it was dusk, he felt panicked, thinking that he had delusional and mistook the mountain ghosts for Taoists from the immortal family.

It's just that when he thought this way, Li Xiuyuan and Teng Yunzi were already watching them from three feet away from him.

However, Teng Yunzi cast a spell to hide the figures of the two people, so that the scholar Mu Sheng could not see them.

"Brother, why did you cast the spell so that this person could not see it?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Teng Yunzi said: "Ordinary people often have contempt and negligence. If they agree to his request easily, they will think that the two of us are passing wild roads with ordinary skills and are not enough to pay attention to. If we use a little trick, we will show off Some skills will make people more convincing, this is not intended to show off

Yao Dao technique, but to save a lot of unnecessary trouble. "

"Isn't it common for scholars to say that they don't talk about strange powers and gods? Many people don't believe in magic and ghosts. They just have a try attitude and ask me to wait for the cultivators to pass. If they encounter unreasonable villagers or people, Thought I was waiting for a liar who swindled money, now I'm waiting to cast a spell and show up
, this person must believe that we are people of Taoism. "

"In this way, if I cast spells to help him later, he won't doubt it."

Li Xiuyuan suddenly realized when he heard the words.

Seemingly small actions contain the wisdom of a cultivator.

It's not that cultivators show off spells and pretend to be mysterious, but that if they don't do so, they won't be able to win people's trust. Even if they use spells to help others, few people believe them, so that the spells don't work, and it's a waste of effort.

Mu Sheng lingered for a moment at this moment, seeing that there was really no one in the mountains, and worried that he would be bewitched by ghosts and might not be able to return to the county when it was too late, so he sighed, got on his horse, turned around and left.

"Junior brother, let's go and wait for this person at the gate of the county ahead, but I'm afraid it will be a day late today." Teng Yunzi said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It doesn't matter, if it's a bit late, use Taoism to make your way."

"Junior brother has been studying the Fa for many days, but can you tell at a glance what happened to this scholar?" Teng Yunzi asked.

Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan took a serious look at the scholar riding a horse, and then said: "Watching people, fortune-telling and guessing, geomantic omens are not what I am good at, but I have a lot of contact with evil spirits, and this person has evil spirits." , I'm afraid I've encountered a demon."

Teng Yunzi nodded and said: "That's right, this person has indeed met a demon, so what else can the younger brother see?"

"He is not very skilled at riding a horse, and the saddle is brand new. This healthy horse should have been bought not too long ago, and it is a luxury for ordinary people to buy a horse. It can be seen that this scholar has recently developed. Encountering a demon has made him prosperous again. Encountering a demon is a bad thing, but But it turned into a good thing for him, which shows that there is a problem

of. "Li Xiuyuan frowned.

Teng Yunzi said: "Junior brother is smart, and he can see so much without Taoism, but according to Pingdao, this person has been infected with evil spirits for at least one year, and within this year, the scholar has no danger of life. , and no disease entanglement, it can be seen that the monster is not an evil monster, neither is it, but the scholar wants to go around
Asking the Taoist for help, it can be seen that he has realized the identity of the monster, fearing that he will be killed, and is afraid in his heart, so he needs an expert to exorcise the demon. "

"However, it is neither an evil demon nor harming people. This demon can only be exorcised, not eliminated."

Li Xiuyuan immediately nodded deeply when he heard the words, and then said: "Senior Brother said that I have a flexible mind, but Senior Brother's mind is several times better than mine. The words did not overlap, and you can deduce whether the matter is serious or not just by looking at it. and how to deal with it.”

"Out of the mountain gate, into the world of mortals, there are catastrophes everywhere, cause and effect everywhere. Naturally, one must uphold the original heart. As long as the heart is pure and not fascinated by the seven emotions and six desires, only then can we see through all kinds of things and not be afraid of the world's disasters." Teng Yunzi said Afterwards, he sighed again: "But the state of mind of the poor is still far from the level of cultivation.

That's enough, so it's okay to go out for a few days. If it takes a long time and your heart is dusty, you can't say that you can get out of the world. "

"Senior brother is right. Who in the world dares to say that he never forgets his original intention, and his original intention remains unchanged. There is also an eminent Buddhist monk who once said: The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror stand. Always wipe it diligently, so as not to stir up dust. "Li Xiuyuan said.

He felt that he had learned a lot from this senior brother Teng Yunzi that he had never learned before.

It is a kind of truth for people who practice Taoism to live in the world.

While talking, the two had already arrived at the gate of the county town one step ahead of Mu Sheng.

After a while, Mu Sheng came back on horseback, but the servants of the house were already waiting by the road.

"Did the master catch up with those two Taoists? Those two Taoists are real gods. I saw those two Taoists on the road before. One was riding a donkey and the other was riding a black tiger. They seemed to be walking slowly, but after a while Kung fu has traveled several miles. A Taoist priest with this level of skill must be a first-class god.

"The servant took the reins and asked respectfully.

Mu Sheng was a little annoyed and said, "Don't mention it, I had already seen those two Taoists when I was chasing after them, but when I got closer, there were no one there. I think those two Taoists are either first-rate gods or first-rate ghosts in the mountains. , don’t mention it, let’s go, go back to the mansion.”

"That's a pity." The servant followed behind, leading the horse.

After walking a few steps, suddenly the servant pointed to the city gate and exclaimed: "Master, look, aren't those two Taoists the two I saw on the road before?"

"Where is it?" Mu Sheng looked subconsciously, and immediately narrowed his eyes.

But there were really two Taoists standing beside the main road at the gate of the city, one was about thirty, he was full of energy, extraordinary, wearing a simple Taoist robe and sitting on an old donkey, he was not a fairy, but he was better than a fairy.

But the one next to him is young, looks like a weak crown, handsome, looking dignified, sits down and rides a huge black tiger, looks frightened and dare not approach.

But the strange thing is that the people passing by nearby didn't feel scared at all, as if they didn't see a tiger.

"It's really those two Taoists." Mu Sheng was shocked.

He had obviously lost track of him before, but now he is already waiting for him here.

Could it be that these two Taoists already knew what they wanted in their hearts?
As soon as he thought of this, Mu Sheng's heart trembled immediately, and he showed a respectful look, and hurriedly went up to meet the two Taoists.

"Xiaosheng Mu Sheng pays his respects to the two priests."

While speaking, he looked at the black tiger next to him with some fear, feeling terrified.

If the black tiger jumped up and bit him, he would die.

"Pindao Teng Yunzi, this is the junior brother of the poor. I don't know why you have been chasing the two of them just now? If there is nothing important, the poor is still in a hurry, and I hope this young master will not disturb you. "Teng Yunzi said.

When Mu Sheng heard this, he knelt down and begged in fear, "I also ask the elder to save me. Xiaosheng is on the verge of life and death. If the elder doesn't help, Xiaosheng will probably die at the hands of the goblin."

Teng Yunzi smiled and said: "You are strong and healthy, and you are free from illness and disaster, how can you say you are about to die?"

"Immortal Chief, Xiaosheng has absolutely no intention of deceiving. If you don't believe me, please go to Xiaosheng's mansion and find out that Xiaosheng has indeed met a goblin." Mu Sheng pleaded.

Teng Yunzi pondered for a while and said, "I won't disturb the poor Taoist in the house. The poor Taoist will send you a talisman. After you go back, stick it on the door. You can go to the door tomorrow morning to see if the talisman is there. , the goblin has retreated, there is no need to worry about it in the future, if you are not here, then you will come to find the poor way, the poor way

Do something else. "

Mu Sheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, thanked him and said: "I also ask the elder to give me a talisman."

After speaking, he held up his hands, hoping that the Taoist Talisman of the Immortal Family would work.

"Junior brother, draw a demon exorcising talisman for him." Teng Yunzi said via voice transmission.

Li Xiuyuan was surprised and said: "What? Drawing talismans, I have never learned this way, isn't it senior brother drawing talismans?"

"I don't know how to be poor. Didn't the younger brother learn all kinds of spells? Didn't he learn the skills of talismans?" Teng Yunzi was also surprised.

"." Li Xiuyuan gave him a strange look.

No, you said what talisman to give, and you said you were smart, why did you make such a careless thing in a blink of an eye?
"Brother, what I have learned is the method of immortals, the art of slaying dragons, and the art of paper talismans."

Teng Yunzi was startled and said: "The paper talisman of the blind Taoist uncle, the calculation technique is excellent, but you haven't learned a little bit? You don't even know the most demon-exorcism talisman?"

"I am naturally resistant to spells such as talisman paper and talisman water. I have never learned them. I just copied a spirit-enlightening talisman out of curiosity. Why don't you just fool around and give him a spirit-enlightening talisman?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Teng Yunzi almost bit his tongue.

What the hell is a spirit enlightenment talisman?

It is for the souls who have not yet opened their spiritual wisdom. If they are posted on the door, if a ghost sees it, they can't laugh their teeth out. It can be said that the face of this teacher is completely lost.

If I had known how, I might as well go there by myself.

Mistake, Mistake.

It's an embarrassing situation now.

Then Mu Sheng was still kneeling in front of his eyes and begging for a talisman.

"Junior brother, what should we do now?" Teng Yunzi said helplessly.

Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said: "It's okay, since senior brother doesn't know the art of talisman, then let me draw something to fool you. Anyway, we will get what we want. It doesn't matter whether it's an exorcism talisman or not, what's important It is to warn the goblin to let him retreat in the face of difficulties."

"Junior brother is right, but besides the demon exorcising talisman, is there a better paper talisman?" Teng Yunzi said.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "It's very important to be flexible at a time like this."

After speaking, he immediately took out the pen from the ghost king's bag.

Holding the pen and dyeing the ink, the pen is like a dragon and a snake, and soon a pair of talismans like a heavenly book is drawn.

"This is tadpole script, you can't draw symbols in this tadpole script." Teng Yunzi said.

"I didn't say it was a talisman, but who would recognize the tadpole script except immortals and spirits? Ordinary people don't recognize it, and no one can find it if it is a paper talisman." After finishing speaking, Li Xiuyuan stretched out his hand.

Immediately, the talisman paper turned into golden gold, shining with light.

"What is the meaning of this, Junior Brother?"

"Add some special effects to make it look more real. Now, it looks like senior brother thinks my talisman is magical, like a fairy treasure?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"." Teng Yunzi had nothing to say.

This junior brother is really good at fooling people.

Add the spell of turning stone into gold in the tadpole script, and a golden paper talisman is formed. If you don't understand the meaning, what is it if it's not a fairy treasure?
"This golden talisman is for you, take it back and stick it on the door," Li Xiuyuan said.

"Thank you, Immortal, thank you, Immortal." Mu Sheng was overjoyed, and found that thin golden paper.

But I saw that the paintings on it were all tadpole astronomy, which were indescribably mysterious and inexhaustible, and also flashed with golden light, so one could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary objects.

Immediately after thanking him repeatedly, Mu Sheng happily left with the golden amulet in his arms.

After he left, Teng Yunzi said again: "Junior Brother is also involved in tadpole writing? I don't know what is written on it."

"I didn't write anything, I just moved it with emotion, understood it with reason, tried my best to persuade the elf to stop pestering this person, let the elf know that there are people who practice Taoism appearing nearby, and let him retreat in the face of difficulties, etc. , In this way, hello, hello, everyone, nothing will happen." Li Xiuyuan
Road.

Teng Yunzi said, "Master, please don't deceive me that I don't know the tadpole script. There are four characters clearly on it. How can there be so many meanings? I wonder which four characters the younger brother wrote on it?"

"Give me some face." Li Xiuyuan said seriously.
