Liaozhai Great Sage

Teng Yunzi said: "Meeting is fate, and he caught up with the fate. How can a cultivator obey God's will? Otherwise, why did he only chase us on horseback all the way, and no one else came to shout ?So no matter what happens, you need to watch it quietly, and whether to help or not depends entirely on your will."

"Brother's words are justified." Li Xiuyuan was thoughtful when he heard the words.

Chapter 523 Golden 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 be more convincing, this is not intended to show off Taoism, 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, He thought we were scammers who swindled money, but now that I cast a spell and show up, this person must believe that we are people of good morals."

"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 developed recently... Encountering a demon has made him prosperous again. Encountering a demon is a bad thing. But it turned into a good thing for him, so there is something wrong with it." Li Xiuyuan frowned and said.

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 this scholar wants to ask Taoists for help everywhere, it can be seen that he has already realized the identity of the monster, fearing that he will be killed, he is afraid in his heart, so he needs an expert to drive the monster away Exorcism."

"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 this level of state of mind of the poor is far from enough, so it's okay to go out for a few days, if it takes a long time, and the heart is dusty, I dare not say that I can escape from the world of mortals. "

"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 Kungfu has covered several miles, a Taoist priest with such ability 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, and there is no need to worry about it in the future, if it is not here, then you will come to find the poor way, and the poor way will do other things."

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.
