Riding the Pheonix Chapter 4: Xuanshi
Duofu was also frightened.
This is the first time she has "seen" a ghost.
When she was a child, she was often bullied because she was ugly. There is a haunted house in the village, and it is said that white shadows often float by. She was tricked by a group of children and kept there for a whole day.
One day later, an adult discovered her and released her.
But apart from being hungry and cold, she had nothing to do.
Those people said that she must be ugly and the ghosts were frightened.
Later, she entered the Ming Mansion.
The fortune teller the madam found gave her a fortune telling that she had a pure Yang character, which could suppress evil and ward off evil spirits.
A while ago, Yu Fangyuan was haunted. The maids and servants all said they had seen shadows, but she had seen nothing.
If the young lady hadn’t been frightened, she wouldn’t have believed there were ghosts in the world.
But now she has seen it with her own eyes.
A cloud of filthy black air, wrapped in gray shadows, rushed towards Madam Liu.
"Ding..." The copper coins that fell to the ground vibrated in unison. Although they were knocked down by the evil spirit, they still tried their best to fly.
Duofu was so frightened that she froze, but she quickly thought of the lady's words.
She is blessed to be able to ward off evil!
This is the thing that scared the lady so much that she almost died. We can’t let it hurt anyone again!
Duofu didn't know where he got the courage. When he saw this thing pounce on Madam Liu, she also pounced on it.
The fist was swung out, and the red rope on his wrist suddenly became hot, burning like the sun.
"Hey..."
She didn't know if the sound was an auditory hallucination, but in short, the shadow stopped.
With a low howl, the shadow turned its head suddenly.
A pair of bright red eyes stared at her fiercely.
Duofu was so frightened that he stepped back, his feet stumbled, and he fell to the ground.
"No..." She instinctively raised her hand, trying to push the ghost away.
The midday sun shone on the red rope on her wrist, and strands of golden light escaped from the ugly knot and circled around it.
"Ding..." The copper coins stained with black air seemed to have been washed away by the light, and they jumped up suddenly.
Seven copper coins were arranged in an array and returned to the sky.
Ms. Liu was so determined that she knocked her pipe and blew out a puff of smoke.
"hit!"
The array is activated, and the pure spirit energy escapes again.
"Ding ding ding ding..." sounded several times in succession.
The miserable howl sounded, and the gray shadow turned into a black air and suddenly got into the willow tree.
"Ding——" there was a long sound, and seven copper coins rolled to the ground, losing their spirituality.
Ms. Liu ignored her distress and sat down on the ground as if she was exhausted, sweating profusely.
Duofu sat on the ground blankly, still maintaining the pushing posture.
There was silence all around.
After a while, I heard the voice of Mother Child: "Hurry, help Fairy Girl up quickly. How blessed! How blessed!"
The maids and servants rushed over as if they were waking up from a dream.
I was helped back to the pavilion and drank a big sip of tea. I was lucky enough to wake up. His whole body was covered with sweat, and the coldness of confronting the shadow was chilling to his heart.
A hand reached out and took hers.
Duofu raised his head and saw the young lady smiling, which was very beautiful.
"Duofu is so brave." She said softly.
"Miss..." Duofu wanted to say, thanks to this bracelet. She couldn't see the golden light, but she could feel the extraordinary heat. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he suspected that he had made a mistake.
This hand rope was just randomly knitted by the lady, and the knot was crooked. How could it have such an effect?
On the other side, Mrs. Liu also calmed down.
Mother Tong asked eagerly: "Xiangu, have you collected this thing?"
Ms. Liu wiped the sweat off her head and said, "Mommy, this thing is too fierce. I don't have the ability to take it."
Mother Tong was stunned for a moment: "What does Fairy Gu mean, is it still there?"
Ms. Liu looked at the willow tree by the lake, with lingering fear in her eyes: "It's still there."
Mother Tong panicked: "What should I do? Madam and young lady live here..."
"Mommy, don't be anxious." Madam Liu felt that after receiving such a large reward, she still had to explain the matter clearly. She touched the copper coin that had lost its spirituality and said, "That thing was injured by my magic weapon and can't come out for the time being. After a while, I will form a formation to temporarily seal the Qi machine, making it difficult for it to absorb Yin Qi. This way. , nothing will happen in the short term."
"What about the long term?"
Ms. Liu said: "Of course I have to find someone to collect it. I can't collect it, and no one in these ten miles and eight villages can collect it. Madam, let's go find an expert. You must be a serious scholar to be able to collect this thing."
"Xuanshi?" Nanny Tong was confused. In the countryside, there are only witches, gods and men, but Xuanshi have never been heard of.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Liu knew that she didn't understand, so she explained in detail: "In our industry, we don't just have great dancers. People like me are the least popular and only know some superficial skills. The more powerful, They are those sorcerers who travel around the world - don't get me wrong, they are not the kind of deceivers. They know everything about physiognomy and feng shui, exorcism and suppression of ghosts. If they are more powerful, they are serious magicians, which are recognized by the imperial court - You know the Xuandu Temple, right? It’s the Xuandu Temple practiced by the Imperial Master. Those with inheritance like them are the serious Xuanshi."
Mother Tong seemed to be listening to a book from heaven. She saw what happened just now with her own eyes. Madam Liu's copper coin can actually fly in mid-air. Is this just scratching the surface?
However, Xuandu Temple is really powerful. I heard that they all chose the imperial tomb ~IndoMTL.com~ They pray for the imperial court every year for the good fortune of the country, and the saints are full of praise.
"Could it be that we are going to find the immortal leader of Xuandu Temple? Then we have to go to Beijing! Madam, what do you think?"
Mrs. Ming San shook her head: "It takes at least half a month to go to the capital, and it takes forty days to come and go. Besides, how can the immortal chief of Xuandu Temple be so easy to invite?"
Mother Tong said: "Isn't the eldest man in Beijing? Please exercise, eldest man..."
Mrs. Mingsan sighed: "Have you forgotten the Ming family rules?"
Mother Tong swallowed the words that came to her lips.
The Dongning Ming family came from Minghan, the founding prime minister of this dynasty.
This Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty met Taizu when he was young, and for more than ten years he fought in the north and south, making great contributions. Later, he became the first prime minister of the dynasty and was granted the title of Marquis of Nanxiang.
It is a pity that the famous founding prime minister died late in life, and later became obsessed with alchemy, and even offered the so-called elixir to Emperor Taizu. It was later confirmed that this elixir would accumulate poison in the body if taken for a long time.
Emperor Taizu did not convict him in the end because Ming Xiangye not only offered the elixir, but also took the elixir himself. By then, the poison had entered his body and he did not have much time left.
Looking at his early achievements, Emperor Taizu brushed off the matter. But from then on, Ming was not reused.
Currently, there are only two masters of the Ming family in Beijing, and they hold insignificant positions. The Ming family, which was once prominent, has not been able to regain its glory until now.
After this incident, the Ming family banned all talk about Xuan Dao witchcraft, not only because the son was silent about the strange power, but also because the Ming Prime Minister had lost his integrity in this matter.
Mrs. Ming was about to ask again when there was a noise from the garden gate and the door was banged.
A servant girl came forward to stop him, but she came prepared and knocked open the garden door in a few seconds.
A man in green shirt with white face and short beard came angrily with a group of healthy servants.
