Dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty, I was working as a detective in Chang'an

After eating and drinking, we stood up and said goodbye. The man sent us outside the fence and pointed to a mountain road and said, "You two little brothers, if you follow this mountain road and go straight into the mountain, you will see Baiyun Temple."

After I thanked the fat man, I started riding my horse and walked along the mountain road. The West Peak of Huashan Mountain is the place where Agarwood cut the mountain to rescue the Three Holy Mothers. Looking up to the northwest of the peak, it stands upright like a knife cutting it. It is vast and empty. As far as the eye can see, the surrounding mountains are undulating and the clouds are flowing. It feels like being in it. In this lifetime, put aside all kinds of worldly thoughts one by one.

The vegetation at the foot of the mountain is lush and green, and there is a small Taoist temple built on the mountain. Although this Taoist temple is small, it feels very simple. It is hidden under several vigorous ginkgo trees, surrounded by some exotic flowers and plants, with vermilion walls and three red gold characters "Baiyun Temple" written on the gate tower, which is very eye-catching.

We knocked on the door, and a little Taoist boy came out. He was wearing a green robe, with a Taoist bun on his head, and a handsome face. I asked the Taoist boy: "Is this fairy mountain Fuyaozi's retreat place?"

When the Taoist boy saw that it was us, he saluted and asked: "Infinite Heavenly Lord, the master has traveled far away and cannot come back for the time being. You two, please come back."

I smiled and said, "Why is Fairy Boy driving people away? We are also guests from afar. We want to ask the master to approve the divination and seek marriage. We also went to report it." After saying this, I handed over a tael of silver. I gave it to the Taoist boy. Seeing that there was money to take, the Taoist boy took it with a smile, changed his words and said:

"It turns out I'm asking about marriage. Master is currently giving divination to an aunt. You two should come in first and wait for a moment."

Money is the best way to make love, but money can make you go to hell!

We followed the little Taoist boy into the door and felt that this Taoist temple was actually similar to the architecture of a Buddhist temple. It also used a central axis and a courtyard-style layout, but the name and the statue of the god it served were different. Arranged in sequence are the Dragon and Tiger Hall, the Sanqing Hall, the Siyu Hall, the Chunyang Hall, and the Chongyang Hall, but they are just a little smaller in proportion. The Taoist boy said that his master was currently in the Qingya Pavilion next to the Sanqing Hall, giving divination to an aunt, so we could wait outside the Qingya Pavilion.

I said to the Taoist boy: "Okay, we also want to put some incense sticks in the hall and look around. We'll be there later. You can go and do your work."

The little Taoist boy bowed deeply and left.

I said to the fat man, let's listen to how this Fuyao criticizes people's fortune-telling and see if it's accurate.

So we came out of the Dragon and Tiger Hall and went directly to the Qingya Pavilion next to the Sanqing Hall. This is a small house with a corridor outside, where you can usually sit and rest. We quietly poked a hole in the window paper of Qingya Pavilion and saw a man who looked like a Taoist priest sitting on the table, using a tortoise shell and a few copper coins to tell fortunes for an old woman in her 60s.

This old lady was dressed in gold, silver, and jewels. She was served by two girls. She looked like a very wealthy lady.

The old lady said: "I came here to ask for the elixir for my son. I got a son at an old age, and I love him. I am 19 years old this year, and I got married to him. My daughter-in-law here is as beautiful as a fairy." , and she was the daughter of a wealthy family. They all envied me for having arranged a good marriage for my son. How could I have known that less than two months after my daughter-in-law got married, my son suddenly fell ill, his face was sallow, his body was weak, and he looked useless. I hope the gods can give me some magic medicine to help my son get better. I will definitely rebuild the temple and build a golden body." After saying that, he stood up hurriedly and started to kneel down tremblingly.

The Taoist priest helped the old man up and said, "You don't have to be polite, old man. I already knew your request when you came. Seeing that your hall is dark, I'm afraid there are evildoers in your house causing trouble, so it makes you restless day and night. Your son has three souls." He has lost two souls, if we don’t drive this monster away quickly, even the gods may not be able to save him!”

The old lady was shocked when she heard this. She changed her expression and said, "I wonder what kind of monster is so powerful?"

The Taoist priest pinched his fingers and calculated, "That is a fox fairy with a hundred years of practice. It is currently attached to your daughter-in-law. When it has sex with your son every night, it will suck your son's yang energy to make elixirs. After a few days, My son's yang energy is about to be exhausted, and even Taishang Laojun may not be able to save him."

The old lady cried loudly and said: "I hope the immortal can show me a clear way to save my son. I am just a single person. If he dies, I won't be able to survive!" After saying that, he ordered the girl to take the lead. A small box was opened, and inside was a box of gold.

The Taoist priest looked at the gold, nodded, and said, "I have a magic talisman here. Take it. Remember to burn the talisman at midnight, kill a rooster, and mix the talisman with the chicken's blood." Give your son the ashes to drink, and he will wake up. There is also a talisman, stick it on your daughter-in-law's forehead. I will do it here to force the fox away. Remember not to let them wake up. If they wake up, If the fox sees someone trying to treat it, it will go crazy, and there is nothing I can do about it. Another thing is that after your son gets better, he cannot have sex within three months. "

The old lady was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly, thanked her profusely, and went out with two talismans. At this time, the little Taoist boy came in from the back door of Qingya Pavilion with a bowl of tea, handed it to the Taoist priest, and said: "Master, please drink tea. This old lady is really rich. Two pieces of paper can be exchanged for a box of gold. But, what do you do? Even if it is certain that his son has been entangled by the fox fairy?"

The Taoist priest smiled and said: "I have not made any progress after being with you for so long. His son is only 19 years old this year, and he has a son at an old age. He must have been pampered and raised. His body is not very strong. In addition, he married a beautiful wife." , he must have indulged too much, those two talismans are just to find psychological comfort, and after three months of rest, he will basically recover."

The Taoist boy smiled and said, "You are so awesome! What if his son doesn't recover and comes to cause trouble for us again?"

The Taoist priest said: "Normally not. If it really doesn't work, I have other tricks." The Taoist boy nodded and retreated.

I bet this Taoist priest is in trouble. He just makes money by taking advantage of people's fear of ghosts and gods and observing their actions. This money is too easy to cheat! Poor old lady, she spent a box of gold and was fooled into going back. Didn't this delay the child's condition? This feudal superstition is really killing people!

The Taoist boy came out of the back door, walked around in a circle, came to the corridor, and said to us: "I have kept you two waiting, you can go in."

After the fat man and I sat down, I said to the Taoist priest: "Are you the legendary Taoist Fuyaozi?"

The Taoist priest glanced at me and the fat man and said, "Exactly. Are you here seeking a future or marriage?"

I said sternly: "We neither ask divination nor do divination, we are on official duty to handle the case!" After saying that, I took out the yellow paper charm on Lin Wan'er's body, slapped it on the table, and said:

"Is this talisman yours?"

Fuyaozi picked up the talisman, looked at it, and said, "Yes, it belongs to me. This is just an ordinary soul-catching talisman. What's the problem?"

"Who has come to ask for this talisman recently?"

Fuyaozi said, "There are so many people coming to ask for talismans. How can I remember them?"

"You must remember that this was found on a woman. She died more than ten days ago. Human life is more important than heaven. If you don't want to go back to the Yamen with us for questioning, you should think about it clearly!"

Fuyaozi's expression changed as soon as he heard that the person was dead, but he quickly regained his composure and said: "This soul-destroying talisman is generally used to exorcise demons and suppress ghosts. I have only used two of them in the past ten days. One. It was a man in his fifties. He said that his home was haunted. His dead wife gave him nightmares every night and asked him to go down to accompany her. He wanted to use this soul-destroying talisman to capture his wife's soul and lose her. Don’t trouble him anymore about the memories of your past life.”

"And one more?"
