Chapter 18

In the audience, Hui Dao, who had just received 15 taels of incense money, was not happy. He glanced at the door, took out the small bronze mirror, and lightly brushed the mirror with his palm, and saw a grayish-yellow light. It flashed by.

Xiao Daotong was a serious person who was taken under the door, and he was shocked when he saw it: "Is this a monster?"

"Yes." Putting the mirror away, Huidao sighed.

"Master, you said that you are traveling in the clouds recently, is it to avoid monsters?" Xiao Daotong was not afraid of losing face, and asked directly. Huidao did not answer, but walked slowly to the gate of the hall, with his hands behind him, looking Looked at the drizzle of the sky.

"I'm afraid there will be troubles in this city again."

After saying this, Hui Dao turned to the big pillar not far behind and said, "Nephew Shen, since you're here, why don't you come out and see him?"

"Isn't this for the sake of your face, Master?" With a laugh, a middle-aged man in Taoist robes turned out from behind the pillar, followed by a Taoist boy, who was a few years older than Huidao's apprentice, approaching grown up.

But if you have to distinguish carefully, you can feel that the teenage Taoist is silent and walks without breath.

This is the difference between the two branches of Tongshan Temple.

In the branch of Hui Dao, you are not allowed to marry a wife and have children, and you must abide by many precepts. The name is also chosen by the master from generation to generation, and layman names are discarded.

But another one is different. Although they wear Taoist robes, they generally don't marry wives and have children, but they don't abide by the precepts, and they don't abandon their lay names. Now the middle-aged Taoist priest standing in front of Huidao still uses his lay name, Shen Cheng.

Huidao had no objection to Shen Cheng, but on the first day they met, he could feel a faint entanglement of resentment. This is not a trivial matter. Most Taoist priests naturally have a way to solve these, but if they can't solve it, the problem is very serious.

Therefore, Huidao restrained his Taoist boy to stay away from Shen Cheng.

Seeing Shen Cheng coming over at this moment, just looking at it in the mirror, the Dao boy immediately showed a face made of paper with a spell on it, so he smiled faintly: "Just now you really were using paper techniques to spy."

Paper techniques to transform people and cranes are not living creatures and have no breath. Naturally, they are very suitable for hiding and peeping at other people's conversations and actions, so they are not easy to be noticed.

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have known that you, uncle, would have almost fallen into the reputation of Tongshan Temple." Shen Cheng had an ordinary appearance, a pair of eyes, very bright, when he looked over, he was full of sarcasm.

These words were very impolite, Xiao Daotong's face showed sullenness, Hui Dao shook his hand, and calmly said to Shen Cheng: "Nephew Shen, then do you know why I missed?"

"If I knew, why should I ask you, Uncle?" Shen Cheng thought for a while, and then said: "However, you can guess it. Could it be that there is a monster in the local area?"

Hui Dao glanced at him, and understood what Shen Cheng was thinking, and persuaded: "The evil spirit of the evil spirit who has slightly punished, you need to invite the magic power left by the master to dispel it, this is definitely not something you can deal with alone."

"It really is a monster!" Shen Cheng was overwhelmed with surprise, and said with a sneer: "You don't have to worry about this, uncle, I won't miss again and again like you."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, Dao Tong turned and followed silently.

"Master, you are the master of the temple!" Xiao Daotong said angrily, "You just let him disrespect you?"

"Don't look at your uncle slaying demons and demons, he is actually just a poor man, let him go." Huidao smiled and touched Xiaodaotong's head: "But having said that, we can't stay here for the time being, so we can do whatever we want." Let's go, teacher."

"But if something happens..."

Huidao thought for a while: "You reminded me as a teacher."

Then he went back to the hall, took out a pen and paper, waved a brush on it, folded the letter, and said to Xiaodaotong: "Let's go, after leaving the monastery, please send a letter to Cao Yiyan. Leaving Tongshan Temple, there is also friendship, presumably, Master Shen and Nephew will save each other when they are in trouble."

Thinking of Shen Cheng's changes in the past few years, he knew in his heart that there must be Cao Yiyan's handwriting behind it, and he also guessed something about what he was seeking.

But this kind of situation can easily lead to catastrophe, Huidao doesn't want to be involved in it, so the best policy is to walk.

It is now the largest town in Linhua County. When a group of people came to the town with an ox cart, when Su Ziji looked at it, it was really getting dark at this time, and there was smoke everywhere. Zheng Fang’s family was not far away, and Zheng Yingci separated on the street. , Fang Xi returned home like an arrow, when the ox cart stopped in front of Fang's mansion, he got out of the cart in a hurry, and almost fell to the ground.

"Master, please be careful." The servant hurriedly supported him and said.

"Mother, I'm back!" Pulling the man away, Fang Xi trotted in with the hem of her clothes, shouting happily.

After arriving in the inner courtyard, someone reported a letter to Mrs. Fang Zheng. When Zheng heard that her son's face had healed, she immediately recited it and greeted her. Just in time, she saw her son running in.

"Really, how old you are, and still so frizzy, your father will scold you again when he finds out!" Fang Zheng said this, pulling Fang Xi to look up and down, and said repeatedly: "As expected of the Taoist priest of Tongshan Temple, he is really cured Your face, do you have money for incense?"

"Mother, here it is, ten taels!" Fang Xi hurriedly explained, pointing to the outside and said: "Cousin, Zhang Sheng, and a brother Su also accompanied me to Tongshan to visit. It's getting late, so please stay at home One night."

"Please come in soon." Yu Lu is his cousin, Fang Zheng was a little surprised, and hurriedly greeted him into the small hall. After a while, he saw three people coming over, Yu Lu and Zhang Sheng were just there, and the new person he met was not very young. , wearing a green fir, although the starch has faded, but it is very clean, and the eyebrows are elegant and handsome, with a bookish look on his face, he can't help but feel happy immediately.

Fang Zheng asked immediately, and when she learned that the new girl had won a child, she nodded repeatedly and called for someone to change clothes immediately.

The three of them went to change into half-wet clothes, Fang Xi already gestured and told Fang Zheng about what happened in Tongshan Temple.

"My son, you have suffered." Hearing that her son had suffered, Fang Zheng sighed repeatedly.

"Mother, my cousin has helped me a lot, and his classmates are also good. When they heard that they were going to exorcise evil spirits, they all leaned over..." Fang Xi said that it didn't hurt when people surrounded him.

When Fang Zheng heard this, his heart moved. Could it be that he is a blessed person, and said: "Listen to you, the situation was chaotic at that time. Your cousin made a quick decision and didn't let you hurt yourself. I really should thank you."

"There is also Su Ziji, who is only 15 years old, and he is a child student. He can also make friends. It is a good thing to want to study. You just have to be self-motivated."

"While there is still some time, you go to meet the guests. I'll make a few side dishes for a feast. And, Xiaofu, let's see if the master has come back from the feast?" happy to go.

Coincidentally, Fang Wenshao just came back at this time, still smelling of alcohol, Fang Zheng went up to meet her and complained: "Why did you drink too much again? Last time the doctor told you to drink less, you are no longer 30 years old."
