Chapter 38: Get up and take a look
“This painting of yours has no spirituality or magic power. It’s just to fool the people for money. If you really let these people use this kind of pig head painting to deal with ghosts, isn’t it just trying to make money? It’s killing people again!”
In front of the stall where Rong Tianding was selling his stall, the Taoist’s words made Rong Tianding feel confused.
Behind the Taoist, some vendors who were about to buy the pig-head fairy paintings for self-defense grabbed their money, obviously wanting to see the situation before making a decision.
"Mu Taoist, you saw me stealing the Taoist temple's business, so you came to my stall to cause trouble, right?"
After hesitating for a few seconds, Rong Tianding came to his senses and chose to respond by throwing dirty water.
The pork stall is his base. If Rong Li supports him, he will not be confident. Rong Tianding feels that he does not have to hang out in Dongshi.
"Those yellow cloth charms you sell are worthless things. Not only do they have no magic power, they also lack the soul of painting," Rong Tianding counterattacked.
"A mere mortal dares to speak the word "mana"" Mu Taoist asked: "Have you ever seen magic?"
Mu Taoist is not old, just in his forties. age.
Perhaps due to the fatigue of running around, Mu Taoist has a few white hairs on his temples.
But this did not make Mu Taoren lose his spirit, but instead made him look more like a Taoist master.
When Rong Tianding and Mu Taoist were talking about each other, Zhang Xuezhou also observed the Taoist who was bound to come to ask for advice.
Rongcheng is so big inside and outside, there are not many opportunities to make money by doing business in a year, and no one is happy to steal business from others.
Just as Rong Li monopolizes the pig-killing stall in Dongshi, Mu Taoist's Taoist temple has almost monopolized the business of the superstitious people who believe in ghosts and gods.
Whenever someone's business is affected, there will inevitably be a visit.
"Can you cast magic spells?" Rong Tianding asked.
"Little fool, my Tao will open your eyes today!"
Mu Taoist is holding an iron sword in his right hand and a piece of white silk wrapped around his left hand, he is muttering something in his mouth.
With the finger of his iron sword, the white silk in his left hand immediately rose into the air and turned into a rope of more than ten meters long climbing upward.
"The name of my technique is the Sky Drilling Rope. As long as you stretch your hand and pull it, you can drill into the sky. Have you ever seen this technique? What kind of technique have you demonstrated to prove that you have magic power and the ability to exorcise evil spirits and suppress ghosts? "
Taoist Mu held Bai Ling proudly, pointed his iron sword at Rong Tianding and asked.
He wore an old gray robe, left three long strands of beard, and performed magic. When the breeze blew, he looked like a fairy, which caused everyone in front of the painting stall to talk.
"Anything with pig blood, chicken blood, dog blood..."
Rong Tianding naturally does not know any magic. He was just about to use the rhetoric spread among the people, but in He stopped talking again during the short words.
If the ghost can be suppressed by splashing some pig's blood, chicken's blood, or dog's blood, why should everyone come to buy his fairy paintings? Just buy some pig's blood and go home.
Although he is somewhat smart, he cannot deal with Mu Taoist for a while.
Rong Tianding tried to find a solution but to no avail, so he inevitably turned to Rong Li for help.
Rong Li over there just sneered and heard Mu Taoist speak solemnly.
"Master Rong, I'm here to pay you a courtesy visit. I've already given you three points of thin noodles." Mu Taoren said: "If those other Xiaoxiao were to use this kind of thing to defraud money, the old Taoist would have cast a spell to let them Taste the bitter experience.”
"What method do you want to cast?" Rong Li asked coldly.
"Since he is selling fairy paintings to exorcise ghosts, the old Taoist will naturally arrest a ghost to try his ability in fairy paintings." Taoist Mu said, "If his fairy paintings are effective, that's all. , If it doesn’t work and you get seriously ill or even die from being frightened by ghosts, it’s none of the old man’s business!”
“Can you restrain ghosts?” Rong Li asked suspiciously.
"Old Taoists are good at exorcising evil spirits and driving away ghosts. It is not difficult to catch a ghost." Mu Taoist said: "It's just that ghosts have a lot of yin energy, and ordinary people may get sick if they are contaminated, so it is inconvenient to show it in public. Come on!"
"If Taoist Master has such ability, he can send ghosts to my house!"
Rong Li had a look of anger on her face. She reached out and touched the butcher's knife, which immediately made the Mu Taoist's face tremble.
Her son was smashed into a stall, and he couldn't deal with Mu Taoist. Even if Rong Li didn't like Rong Tianding's painting future, Rong Li could only support him.
She had heard about Mu Taoist's reputation for some real skills, but Rong Li didn't believe in ghosts.
Having lived for decades and heard about ghosts and ghosts for decades, Rong Li has never seen a ghost, let alone heard of anyone who has actually seen a ghost. Many things were spread by rumors and eventually led to absurd stories about ghosts and gods.
"You must not believe in ghosts and gods," Taoist Mu said firmly, "You must know that it is easy to release ghosts but difficult to collect them. Once the ghosts enter the Rong family, you will definitely suffer disaster!"
"Since Taoist Master has real skills, then I When you are helpless when encountering ghosts, you will naturally seek help from the Taoist priest. Then the Taoist priest will collect money and do something to drive away the ghosts," Rong Li said in a deep voice.
"It doesn't matter, since you took the initiative to invite me to release ghosts and experience it, it's not over the line for an old Taoist to do something. Just wait for it in the evening!"
Mu Taoist will not bother you repeatedly. , casually put Bai Ling away, inserted the iron sword into the scabbard at his waist, and then strode away.
"Everyone, if the fairy paintings don't have the ability to drive away ghosts, we can't let the Taoist priest release ghosts and cause trouble. Please feel free to buy!"
After Mu Taoren left, Rong Tianding's mind suddenly became active.
A timid person thinks there are ghosts in the world, and a brave person doesn’t believe there are ghosts in the world. They all end up selling paintings of gods. If you don’t respect gods, how can you respect ghosts.
Ever since he was a child, Rong Tianding has never seen a house that actually encountered a ghost. At most, he used ghosts to scare the children into obedience.
"Cousin, do you think there are ghosts in the world?"
The sales on the first day were booming, and on the second day there were more and more people watching. It was not until the pork stall closed that Rong Tianding reluctantly Sold more than half of the fairy paintings.
If you want to successfully sell paintings, you must obviously pass the hurdle of Mu Taoist.
The time entered the evening, Taoist Limu mentioned that the evening time was closer, Rong Tianding could not help but ask Zhang Xuezhou in a low voice.
"If there are ghosts in the heart, there will be ghosts. If there are no ghosts in the heart, there will be ghosts. Many people just scare themselves," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand.
"Zhou'er is right. As long as the body is upright, the shadow will not be crooked. Where can ghosts and evil invade?" Rong Li also said sternly: "The thing our Rong family is not afraid of the most is monsters. That Mu Taoist really wants to If you come here to play tricks at night, I will kill him with one knife!" Rong Li picked up the butcher knife on the chopping board, and the shiny color of the blade made Rong Tianding feel at ease.
No one would be too panicked if he saw an old woman who could fight and kill. Rong Li said that the murderer was really a murderer.
If she finds out that Mu Taoist is pretending to be a ghost and trying to scare people, Rong Li will draw her sword and chase him down without saying a word. This time, she will even send Mu Taoist to the county government directly.
The group returned to the Rong family mansion.
It was getting dark. After Zhang Xuezhou had dinner, he went back to his room according to his usual schedule.
He had just finished washing and was about to lie down on the bed when he saw a woman in white beside the bed.
The other party has a good appearance, but his face is pale, and his face is mixed with a mixture of resentment and seduction.
Zhang Xuezhou wiped his eyes vigorously and saw the woman still sitting on the edge of the bed looking straight at him.
"Which family are you from? This is my room. Did you go to the wrong door?"
Zhang Xuezhou asked, but then he felt that he had withdrawn from the dream world. The time is coming.
This left him with no intention of asking.
He called out to Rong Li and then lay straight on the bed.
In just a few seconds, he no longer knew where he was.
"What's the matter with people these days, aren't any of them afraid of ghosts?"
Mu Taoist's surprised voice came from the mouth of the woman in white.
“Hey, get up and take a look, this is a ghost, a very fierce female ghost!”
Mu Taoren's voice was full of anger, but also a bit helpless.
The Rong family has been killing pigs for several generations, killing countless pigs. The whole house is filled with evil spirits, and ordinary ghosts cannot enter this kind of house.
Finally bumping into a lone stranger, Mu Taoren didn't expect that the other person didn't bother him at all, and just lay down and fell asleep.
