Record of Yin and Yang

The gate of Hao’s house was brightly lit, and many villagers stood outside holding torches. When they saw Gu Jiu and the others coming out, they all backed away.

Lanyue arranged a cover-up before to hide the Hao family mansion. After she was bitten half to death by Gu Jiu, she was naturally unable to support the cover-up. The groans and screams of the Hao family who woke up quickly alarmed other residents in the village. , They came together holding torches, and just about to break in, they saw the door open, and a man and two children limped out.

"Who are you?" asked the leader, an old man with fierce eyes.

Fang Beiming asked, "Who are you?"

The old man said: "I am the head of this village."

Gu Jiu and Shao Yi looked up at this person at the same time, with delicate eyes.

Fang Beiming also paused, and then said: "I am a Taoist priest, and I came to Hao's house to collect ghosts today."

Hearing that there was a ghost, the surrounding villagers suddenly became restless.

The old man snorted coldly: "Nonsense, I have seen many liars like you in my life!"

Such a person is still a bit difficult to deal with. He is a person who is born with evil, and ordinary little ghosts are afraid of him.Fang Beiming's hands and feet were weak now, and there were two children beside him, and he was afraid of something, so he took out a piece of talisman paper, rubbed it with his fingertips, and the talisman paper ignited.

The people around were really shocked, and even the village chief took a step back, "You said you were catching ghosts, but what kind of ghosts did you catch and where?"

Fang Beiming threw away the talisman paper, "What was arrested was Xiuniang, who was slandered and filled the river 20 years ago. She has been taken away by the underworld. The Hao family is inside. They saw it with their own eyes tonight. If you don't believe me, go in and ask." yes."

The villagers who were dubious at first were shocked when they heard Xiu Niang's name.When Xiuniang died that year, although most of them didn't do it themselves, they usually laughed at Xiuniang. Many people didn't forget Xiuniang 20 years ago. The willow tree just stopped.Could it be that she really came back?

The village chief's face changed, and he pointed to a few middle-aged men: "Go in and see what's going on."

These people hesitated for a while and went in, and then came out quickly, with more obvious expressions of shock on their faces, and they also supported several Hao family members who were still able to walk.

The Hao family was approached by Lan Yue for revenge, and was also besieged and bitten by the resentful ghosts. At this time, they were crying without adulteration, clamoring that it was Xiu Niang who came back for revenge, Hao Zhenwen had been killed by her, and she wanted everyone in the village Buried together, weeping until the villagers panicked.But after knowing that Lan Yue was taken in by the Taoist priest, they all relaxed again.

The village chief's face twitched, and he wanted to speak again, but suddenly a person rushed out from the gate, held his face and bit him fiercely.The people around were frightened by the accident and backed away again, only the village head Yu howled and stood there struggling, and when he finally tore away the people on his body, a piece of flesh was bitten off his face, and blood dripped fall down.

The village chief covered his face, his face turned grim from the pain, and kicked the person who was lying on the ground and biting him: "Qiu Rong, you're crazy!"

The flesh on Qiu Rong's face was agitated, she was so painful that she was unconscious, she just wanted to vent, bit the village chief, she stretched out her hand and crawled towards the person next to her, trying to stand up and bite him.

Everyone avoided it in a hurry.

Gu Jiu saw the father and son who worshiped Lanyue in the crowd, and asked the father and son to help them lift Wang Xiaodie out of the crowd, she needed medical treatment.

The father and son also knew now that the three of them were Taoist priests, not relatives sent off by the Wang family at all, and probably followed after they had noticed Xiu Niang's existence.The two went in and carried out Wang Xiaodie, who was still wearing her wedding dress. When everyone saw the blood hole in her stomach, they were all terrified and terrified.

Gu Jiu's donkey cart was parked by the river, and the middle-aged man helped them drive the cart over and carried Wang Xiaodie onto it, Gu Jiu and the others were ready to leave.

"Don't go, Taoist chief!" The village chief wanted someone to stop them.

Fang Beiming swung the people away with a whip, "You have done your own crimes, you can't live. The poor will catch ghosts, but they won't save the wicked."

Those who had been whipped did not dare to step forward, and could only watch helplessly as the donkey cart drove away in the night.

Gu Jiu and the others drove the donkey cart back to Wang's house.

Most Taoist priests will treat people, and Fang Beiming is no exception. He is an all-around talented person, and the medicine he made is very effective, so although Wang Xiaodie has a hole in her stomach, she has been running all the way after so long. He was still angry when he returned to Wang's house.

Although the meatball that Lanyue caught was small, it was already formed. Wang Xiaodie was at least three months pregnant, but it couldn't be seen because of her slender figure.Up to now, Gu Jiu and the others also know that Wang Xiaodie's love for Hao Yuanzhou, and even her own body, must be calculated by someone with a heart.From this point of view, the main reason for Wang Xiaodie's short lifespan is not being possessed by Lan Yue for too many days, but because of the injury she suffered this time.

The Wang family couple sent their daughter away only during the day, but they didn't expect that an accident would happen before their daughter arrived at night. After hearing Fang Beiming's ins and outs, they were both sad and happy.Fang Beiming left a few bottles of wound medicine for Wang Xiaodie, these were enough to keep her alive, and the follow-up training could only depend on the Wang family couple.

Wang Xiaodie has been possessed by Lan Yue for many days, and now her body is damaged, her yang energy is weak, and she is prone to seeing ghosts.Before leaving, Fang Beiming arranged Fengshui for the Wang family's house and left a few talismans to save Wang Xiaodie from the torment of ghosts.

There's only so much they can do.

After resting till dawn, Fang Beiming was full of energy again, Shao Yi's face looked better, and his big painted face became more ferocious when frowning, but Gu Jiu was no longer afraid of him, his senior brother was hard-spoken and soft-hearted.On the way back, Gu Jiu put on both of his cotton padded clothes, which were not enough, and he also wore two of Shao Yi's, and finally put Fang Beiming's clothes on the outside, and leaned against Shao Yi to Barely that cold.

It was too cold, besides making it difficult for Gu Jiu to move, he also started to develop chilblains on his body. The two brothers, every day when we got up and before going to bed, you wiped my wounds, and I wiped the chilblains for you. The wound medicine for half a year is almost used up.

After walking for four or five days, they finally returned to the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple is on the hillside of a small mountain, and there are some scattered families at the foot of the mountain. They know Fang Beiming, and when they see him and Shao Yi come back, they all come up to say hello, and they also say why Shao Yi has become a painted cat again. It can be seen that Shao Yi used to have a painted face. .

Shao Yi was stuffed with two eggs by a grandma, and asked him to eat to nourish his body. The grandma saw Gu Jiu who was wrapped up like a big cotton ball next to him. After learning that it was Fang Beiming's new apprentice , lovingly grabbed his little face, and stuffed him with two eggs.

There was also a man who said that his chicken was lost yesterday, so he asked Fang Beiming to do the math to find it. What a pity to lose the hen that lays eggs.

Gu Jiu: "?" Is there such an operation?

But Fang Beiming got used to it, and said: "Okay, I'll go up the mountain first, and you can bring two chicken feathers to find me later."

There are no more than ten households at the foot of the mountain, but as long as they hear the news of Fang Beiming's return, they all come, and none of them are empty-handed. They will either give a few eggs or a few handfuls of pickles. The rations are all available.

When Gu Jiu was still lamenting how enthusiastic the people here are, the donkey cart stopped in front of the Taoist temple.

The name of the Taoist temple is Taiyuan.

The Taoist temple is very dilapidated as a whole. There are two entrances. The gate enters a not-so-small square. There are several rectangular flat-mouthed large incense burners inside. In addition to the main hall, there are also east and west halls. The main hall is the Sanqing Hall, which is dedicated to the Sanqing gods , this is the highest god of Taoism; the east side hall is Doumu Hall, dedicated to Doumu Yuanjun, it is said that as long as you sincerely recite her name, it will keep your family and children healthy, safe and long life; the west side hall is dedicated to the old mother of Mount Tai , "To control the gods of Yuefu, to look after the good and evil in the world", according to folklore, the old mother of Taishan is approachable, kind and generous, and she will respond to all requests. She is a goddess that ordinary people feel kind and trust.

There are wild fruits on the altar table, although they are a little wilted, but they look fresh. It can be seen that although Fang Beiming and the others are not there, there are people taking care of the Taoist temple on weekdays. When Gu Jiu asked, he found out that the villagers at the foot of the mountain were helping to take care of them. of.

Gu Jiu followed Fang Beiming and Shao Yi to offer incense to several gods, and then went to the courtyard behind the main hall. There was a row of main rooms in the courtyard, several side rooms on both sides, including kitchens and toilets, and a well in the corner of the courtyard. , everything is complete, this is the place where they usually live and live.

Gu Jiu's room is next to Shao Yi's, but he dares not sleep alone now, he might not be able to get up again, so now he has to share a room with Shao Yi.

After a while, the man who threw the hen came up with two chicken feathers he found in the coop. Gu Jiu twitched the corners of his mouth, watching his master burn the chicken feathers, then did some calculations, pointed in the direction, and called the man Find it in that direction.In the evening, the man came up again, holding a basket in his hand, and honestly said that the chicken was found, but it fell into the ditch and could not fly up and was frozen to death. Then he opened the basket, revealing a large bowl of chicken soup inside. of meat.

The man said: "The two priests looked weak, this is for them to eat."

Fang Beiming said: "Your wife is about to give birth, save this for her to eat."

The man smiled and looked at Fang Beiming.

Fang Beiming smiled knowingly, took out two talismans from his sleeve and handed them to him, "Take it, it's too cold today, take care of your wife."

The man took the talisman paper with both hands, thanked him again and again, said that his wife would only come in the past few days, so she would not come, and put the bowl first, and if someone from the same village came up, let them bring the bowl down.

Fang Beiming agreed and sent the man to the door.

Shao Yi went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and came out, and took the noodle pancakes that they hadn't finished eating, there was no need to heat them up, just tear them up and soak them in chicken soup for a while before eating.

Gu Jiu felt that this way of eating was really rough, but now that he couldn't move, he could only make do with it.

After dinner, Fang Beiming called the two apprentices to his side and explained something to them.

Fang Beiming said that Gu Jiu is still too young now, and the yin energy in his body had just reached a limit of balance and non-interference, but he suddenly ate half of the little ghost king, which is equivalent to eating at least ten of them in one go. Li Gui, the boundaries are completely out of balance, and the magic weapon in his hand can't be restrained at all. Before finding a suitable magic weapon, Gu Jiu can only use Shao Yi's blood to set up formations every month to reduce the invasion of Yin Qi, and then go out like this It was inconvenient to take Gu Jiu with her when she was young.

Gu Jiu panicked.

Fang Beiming patted his head, and said that the bloody Yinlong Formation has happened now. Judging from the previous two times, the people who set up the formation have only just started this matter. He must stop it, and let him Shao Yi took Gu Jiu to stay in the Taoist temple and calmed down to practice. Even if he didn't come back, he would send letters to them every month to inform them of the latest situation.

Shao Yi nodded: "Yes."

Gu Jiu lowered her head, full of self-blame.He was really impulsive at the time, even if he was left alone, it was right, but it made Shao Yi unable to go out. Most importantly, Fang Beiming went out alone, with no one around to take care of him. Danger and no one to rescue.

The more Gu Jiu thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became.

Fang Beiming rubbed Gu Jiu's hair with a smile: "What are you worried about? Back then, your senior brother was only two years old, and the road was still difficult to walk, and the master caught ghosts behind his back for a year. At that time, only the master One person, no, nothing happened. Besides, your senior brother couldn’t cover the evil spirit on his body even when he wore the magic weapon at that time. Master was often cut by his evil spirit. He cried when he was fighting with ghosts. Listen to the sound, many times the master suspected that he and the opposite Li Gui belonged to the same family."

Shao Yi blushed and said angrily: "It's obvious that I'm not skilled enough to carve the talisman on the magic weapon crookedly."

Fang Beiming said awkwardly: "Oh, you have to be considerate of Master, it was only then that Master was forced to be a teacher."

Shao Yi: "Hmph!"

Gu Jiu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. After Fang Beiming's gag, he really didn't feel so uncomfortable.

Fang Beiming stayed in the Taoist temple for half a month, looking for medicinal materials everywhere, and made enough wound medicine and chilblain medicine for the two apprentices, and then couldn't wait any longer, and chose to leave on a snowy day.

Gu Jiu wrapped herself into a ball, stood beside Shao Yi with red eyes, and watched Fang Beiming leave.
