After hearing this, Lao Xu immediately turned around and ran to prepare the materials.
Cinnabar is rare nowadays, but Lao Xu knew that there was a treasure gourd on the beam of his house that contained some cinnabar. His mother went to a Taoist temple to beg for him when he was a child.
He didn't care so much, so he poured out the cinnabar, went to the next door yard to get the yellow dog's blood, and sent it to Zhang Hao along with the freshly made garlic paste in the kitchen.
After Zhang Hao took the materials, he opened Tie Zhu's clothes to expose his chest, and poured all the minced garlic into Tie Zhu's mouth.
Then he closed his mouth and said: "Don't swallow it, just hold it in your mouth."
I don't know if Tie Zhu can hear it, but Zhang Hao's words made the surrounding villagers look puzzled.
Then Zhang Hao drew a general symbol on Tiezhu's heart, and wrote the word "pardon" on his lungs.
After doing this, Zhang Hao muttered something:
"Xuanzong of heaven and earth is the root of all qi."
"Cultivation for hundreds of millions of kalpas will prove my magical power."
"All gods pay homage and serve the thunder."
"Ghosts and monsters are frightened, and spirits are dead!"
"The laws of the sky are pure, the laws of the earth are spiritual, and the golden light of the divine curse dares to forgive all evil spirits!"
After saying that, Zhang Hao raised his palms, a sharp light suddenly shot out from his eyes, stared at Tie Zhu's chest and shouted: "Get out of here!"
Then he slapped Tie Zhu on the chest with a sudden slap.
"Crack!"
Tie Zhu suddenly coughed, and two round lumps bulged out from his chest and began to move towards his neck.
After moving to his neck, Tie Zhu's neck turned livid, and at the same time, he grabbed the sheets on the bed with both hands, so hard that he tore the sheets into pieces.
After the two big bags disappeared, Tie Zhu's face turned darker. Although his eyes were closed, it could be seen from his ferocious expression and twisted body that he was suffering from tremendous pain at the moment.
Seeing Tie Zhu's appearance, Tie Zhu's mother asked anxiously: "Master, how is my son? Why does he look more painful? Will he be okay?"
Lao Xu on the side quickly grabbed her and scolded her: "What do you know, bitch? Just say a few words and don't affect the master's practice!"
Zhang Hao ignored the two of them, stretched out his fingers and pointed on Tie Zhu's chest, then massaged upwards until he reached Tie Zhu's chin.
Then he saw Tie Zhu frowning with his eyes closed, his body suddenly straightened, and he spurted out a mouthful of black blood.
The black blood was mixed with minced garlic, giving off a fishy smell.
However, after spitting out the mouthful of black blood, Tie Zhu's complexion gradually returned to normal, and he gradually began to breathe.
It's just a pity that he still has his eyes closed and shows no sign of waking up.
Seeing Tie Zhu's face gradually recover, Lao Xu and Tie Zhu's mother were overjoyed and their eyes widened. Then they turned to look at Zhang Hao and asked eagerly:
"Master Zhang, is my Tiezhu getting better?"
Zhang Hao breathed out softly, arranged Tiezhu's clothes, patted his chest, and said slowly:
"Not fully recovered yet."
"It just temporarily gave him a glimmer of hope."
"The demonic energy has been lingering in his body for too long. If it were a moment later, Tiezhu's three souls and seven souls would probably dissipate."
"Once the three souls and seven souls dissipate, he will become Huang Pizi's puppet like the corpse outside. Huang Pizi will take the opportunity to occupy his body and continue to do evil."
"Judging from the technique, this should be the work of the yellow guy you offended before."
"Although Tiezhu has temporarily saved his life, strictly speaking, he cannot be considered alive, but in a state of death."
Hearing the word "dead man", Lao Xu was shocked, thinking that Tiezhu was really hopeless.
But in Yin Yang Inn, the definition of "dead person" is different. Zhang Hao had explained to Zhang Qilin and the others before that after a person dies, he will go to the Yin City and receive the ghost card from the underworld before he can enter the underworld. Before receiving the ghost card, everyone is regarded as a dead person; after receiving it, the soul is called a ghost and the body becomes a corpse.
Lao Xu knew nothing about this and thought that Tiezhu was hopeless. His face suddenly changed and he asked anxiously:
"Master, what does this mean? I don't quite understand."
“Isn’t my Tiezhu getting better?”
Upon seeing this, Hao Xie explained to Lao Xu the difference between a dead person and a dead body. Zhang Hao then added:
"According to time calculation, Tiezhu has not reached Yin City yet."
"There is still hope for treatment."
“It’s just that the process will be a little troublesome.”
When Lao Xu heard that there was still hope, he nodded quickly and said eagerly:
"No trouble, no trouble, as long as it can save my son, I will do anything you want!"
"Master, please show mercy and save him, even if it costs me my life!"
Zhang Hao waved his hand and continued:
"Tiezhu now has one soul missing from his three souls and seven souls."
"If nothing else, they should have gone in the direction of Yin City."
"I will notify the little ghost in Yin City and refuse to issue ghost cards when he arrives."
"But he needs to stay in the Yin market for a year."
"The roads in the Yin world are different from those in the Yang world. He may not be able to find his way back."
"So, someone needs to bring his soul back."
"The method is very simple. You only need to prepare an old hen with the birth date and birth date hanging on an iron pole around its neck, and wait at the crossroads before noon tomorrow."
"After the rooster crows three times, you carry the rooster home. No matter what you encounter along the way, you can't look back or stop."
"When you get home, put the chicken next to the iron pillar."
After saying that, Zhang Hao looked at Tiezhu again:
"One day for us is equivalent to one year in the Yin market."
"I'll let the kid tell Tiezhu that a chicken will come to pick him up this time next year."
"As long as he rushes to the chicken after it crows three times, his soul can follow the old hen back." "Similarly, he can't look back or stop."
"Because not only do we know that his soul will come back, but that yellow guy also knows that it will definitely try to interfere with you."
"Now we don't know Huangpizi's location, so it's difficult to deal with it. Once it successfully interferes with you, Tiezhu will not be able to come back."
"Old Xu, you have passed your forties, I believe you can resist temptation."
"As for Tiezhu, it depends on his own will."
Lao Xu kept Zhang Hao's words in mind, but when he thought of Huang Pizi's interference, he became worried about Tie Zhu and asked quickly:
"Master, what if Tie Zhu is really tempted by Huang Pizi?"
Zhang Hao shook his head: "Then it can only be said that this is his fate and cannot be undone."
"Okay, don't think too much, hurry up and get ready."
"It's best to find Huangpizi's location. It should not be far from here."
"At least it will definitely be nearby when something happens to the iron pillar."
After hearing this, Lao Xu quickly turned to Tiezhu's mother: "Tiezhu's mother, where did you find Tiezhu?"
Tiezhu Niang replied anxiously and thoughtfully: "By the small yellow stream outside the village."
"I only knew where the iron pillar was after listening to Lao Wang who came back from cutting firewood."
Zhang Hao nodded and said to Lao Xu: "If nothing else happens, Huang Pizi should be active in that area."
"But this beast is cunning and may have deliberately gone elsewhere to harm your child."
"Whether it's nearby or not, it's best to look for it."
"Take a yellow dog with you when you look for it. Huang Pizi is most afraid of this thing."
In order to prevent Tie Zhu from being disturbed when he returned, Lao Xu decided to get rid of Huang Pizi first. He knelt in front of Zhang Hao, kowtowed heavily several times, and shouted loudly:
"Master! You are really my great benefactor!"
Late at night, the village was different from usual. Many people walked out of their homes with flashlights, seemingly looking for something. The procession was quite spectacular. After hearing about what happened to the old Xu family, although some people discussed it privately, families with children in the village were worried that something similar would happen to them. Therefore, this search for Huang Pizi was organized with almost no effort.
However, no trace of Huang Pizi was found during the search, not even a shadow. Firstly, Huangpizi was extremely cunning, and secondly, the team was too noisy, as if he was afraid that Huangpizi would not know the purpose of their visit. Therefore, this group of villagers still have nothing to gain.
"Hey, do you think the great immortal that Lao Xu is looking for is really that powerful? Why do I feel a bit... how should I put it, too mysterious!"
"All immortals are like this. When I was a child, Lao Zhang, who lived next door to me, also had a serious illness. At that time, I had no money to go to the hospital, so I had to seek help from a local doctor, but he couldn't be cured. In the end, I asked an immortal to cure him."
"Can a great immortal cure diseases?"
"The Great Immortal does not cure diseases, but exorcises evil spirits. Some people may appear to be neurotic, but in fact they may be possessed by evil spirits."
"Is this really possible?"
"Of course, Lao Zhang was just dirty at that time, and it would be fine if the immortal performed a ritual. Look at him now, he can still drink two taels of wine a day!"
"Is this great immortal so powerful?"
"I heard that he is still a Taoist disciple from Maoshan. He is just an outside disciple, not orthodox. But in our village, his prestige is very high!"
"Then what is the origin of the great immortal who came this time? He looks less than thirty years old, what kind of skills can he have?"
The villagers talked a lot. After hearing this, Lao Xu felt unhappy and frowned.
After all, Zhang Hao saved his son's life, although according to Zhang Hao, his son was not fully alive yet. But in Lao Xu's opinion, if Zhang Hao hadn't taken action in time, Tiezhu would have been suffocated to death by now. He glanced back at everyone and reminded:
"This gentleman is a man of great ability. I advise you to be careful when talking about people behind their backs."
"And the little girl also said that this master is not a great immortal, but Mr. Yin and Yang, who specializes in dealing with the dead."
"Even the little devils in the underworld will be respectful when they see him. Do you think he is very capable?"
As soon as Lao Xu finished speaking, the surrounding villagers burst into laughter. They looked at Lao Xu and continued:
"Lao Xu, are you exaggerating?"
"You have to be respectful to the underworld kid? You didn't see it, so why did you believe it?"
"Maybe it was just blown out of proportion, Lao Xu, you'd better see it as it is believed."
Lao Xu's face turned red, thinking that when he first heard Huo Xiu'er talk about Mr. Yin Yang, he didn't quite believe it.
The things Huo Xiuer told were not shocking news to the Yin Yang Inn or the heads of the six major sects. However, for the villagers who live in the village all day long, this is nothing short of a fantasy.
Although the villagers believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, they find it hard to believe that someone can make them feel awed.
Therefore, Lao Xu could not help but have some doubts in his heart. After all, he had never seen such strange people and strange things with his own eyes.
However, when others mentioned Zhang Hao, he couldn't help but stand up and say a few words for him.
"It doesn't matter to me whether you believe it or not, but I know that Mr. Yin Yang once saved my iron pillar." Lao Xu said firmly, "He saved my iron pillar. It is not an exaggeration for me to call him a god."
"Furthermore, if you really don't believe it, why would you be willing to go out with me to look for that yellow leather?" Lao Xu looked around and continued, "I am very grateful for everyone's help, but I also hope that everyone can respect Mr. Yin and Yang. Have some respect.”
Upon hearing this, the villagers exchanged glances with a little embarrassment on their faces. Then they looked at each other and smiled, and continued to discuss.
"We actually don't mean anything else, it's just that we have never seen such a master before, so it's a bit unbelievable."
"But having said that, Mr. Yin and Yang did rescue Tie Zhu. This is an indisputable fact. When Tie Zhu's mother hugged Tie Zhu, we all witnessed it. Tie Zhu's face had turned black from holding back. If it happens again, If it’s a few minutes late, I’m afraid it won’t be possible to save him.”
"Yes, this Mr. Yin Yang is indeed extraordinary!" The villagers agreed one after another.
Although most people were dubious, some people still questioned: "Speaking of which, was it true that no one saw Tie Zhu when he was drowning? Could it be that these people were responsible for rescuing Tie Zhu and making us mistakenly think that Are they awesome?”
"In this way, they can easily gain our trust and then defraud money." As soon as these words came out, the villagers immediately started talking.
When Lao Xu heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he was about to refute, but saw the village chief stand up and smooth things over: "Okay, everyone, stop arguing. There is a stranger in the village, so we should be more careful. But we can't. Looking at people through colored glasses, after all, the appearance of these people has really helped the old Xu family a lot.”
Lao Xu glanced at the village chief, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes: "If you want to gossip, don't stand in front of my house. I still hope that Mr. Yin and Yang can save my son! I finally asked him for help. ”
"If my son's treatment is delayed because of you, no one will be able to have an easy time at that time!" After Lao Xu said this, he felt unhappy because someone questioned Zhang Hao. He threw away his sleeves and walked alone on a small road. He snorted coldly and said: "If you want to look for it, keep looking. If you don't want to look for it, go back. I will look for this yellow guy myself!"
Seeing Lao Xu leaving, the people behind them opened their eyes wide and shouted: "Hey, what's your attitude? Isn't what I said possible? Besides, why are you, Lao Xu, the reason why everyone comes out to look for Huang Pizi? Otherwise, Who wants to offend that yellow guy?”
"Really, it seems that we are willing to go through all the trouble. I don't care, I want to go home!" As Lao Xu left, many people also went back home, but some people still insisted on staying and continuing to look for Huang Pizi. (End of chapter)
