Huai'an Temple

On the first day of the new year, Shen Tuanmao got up to meditate.It took Xue Zhu a while to half-open his eyes and sat up in a daze.Seeing Shen Tuan closing his eyes, he straightened up, leaned forward, and pressed his lips against his slender eyebrows.Hippie smiled and said: "Master, you are really a symbol!"

Shen Tuan opened his eyes and smiled, and said: "There is no sign of you! Get up quickly, Lady Mu will come back in a while, and bump into her face to face, she is abrupt."

Xue Zhu straightened his clothes and jumped off the kang with bare feet.With a cough, kneel on the ground, put your left hand up and down your right hand, make an auspicious seal, put your head on the back of your hand, kowtow, stand up and worship again.Repeat this three times.He smiled and said, "Master, Happy New Year!"

Shen Tuan stood up, made an auspicious seal to Xue Zhu, bowed and said: "Happy New Year!"

Xue Zhu refused to get up, stretched out his hand and said, "Don't you give me some money?"

Shen Tuan was helpless: "You didn't return the money bag!"

Xue Zhu straightened up and tugged at his sleeve: "You don't want it yourself, and you don't blame me. Am I doing such a big gift for nothing?"

Shen Tuan stretched out his hand to bend his leg, put it on the kang, pinched his chin, held his lips domineeringly, and ravaged for a while.He said viciously: "I'll give you money! Get dressed quickly!"

The two got up and took the cinnabar that Mu Tong had prepared.Leave his mother and son behind and plan to turn around.

He didn't get out of Wanqing City, but was caught up by Mu Tong from behind.

"Daoist, don't go yet! Can you save Granny Xu?" Mu Tong asked tentatively, out of breath.

Shen Tuan was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter? Who is Granny Xu?"

Mu Tong said to Xue Zhu: "Brother Yuli, do you still remember that weird man in a quilt we saw last night? He turned out to be nocturnal, and he is Granny Xu's son."

Xue Zhu nodded: "Remember, my master said that traveling at night means losing his mind. You want us to help him heal his illness?"

Mu Tong bowed in embarrassment: "I don't know how to cure this disease, but Granny Xu has always been kind to me, I... I saw her anxious just now, so I just thought..."

Shen Tuan raised his chin: "Lead the way."

Granny Xu's house is not far from Mu Tong's house.Young and widowed, he has only one son named Xu Shuan, who works in a medicine store.Has sleepwalking since childhood.At first I didn't care about it, but when I was tired and excited during the day, I got up at night, put on my clothes and shoes, and walked around the room.

It was a minor illness, and I thought it would be better if he was older.Unexpectedly, it got worse!At first it was only indoors, but gradually, it changed to the courtyard.Granny Xu had no choice but to look for medicine and keep watch every night.Keep an eye on him in the courtyard to prevent him from falling and bruising.Afraid that he would wield knives and guns, he locked the kitchen and warehouse every night.After he finished swimming, Granny Xu led him back.

This guard is 30 years.Xu Shuan's strange disease did not get better, and he was over thirty years old and hadn't married yet.People said that they were afraid that they would kill their daughter when they fell asleep in the middle of the night if they gave him the daughter.

Xu Shuan lived in the same room with his mother for 30 years. He had no wife, no children, and no family.Taciturn, in pain.The old mother watched him every day like a thief, and followed him with a light at night, carrying a bamboo whistle. Seeing that Xu Shuan was about to be in danger, she blew the bamboo whistle to wake him up.

Grandma Xu has no peace at night, her spleen and lungs are already weak, and her heart and liver are damaged!Blindfolded and stuffy nose, headache and fainting, heart palpitations and chest death, drowning with blood, all of these have been added in the past few years!

When he walked to Xu's house, he saw a group of people surrounded him from a distance.Mu Tong passed through the crowd, supported Granny Xu who was crying helplessly at the door, and said, "Grandma, don't cry, go back to the house first, don't freeze."

Granny Xu has white hair, sunken eye sockets and black eyelids.There are intertwined wrinkles on his face, and his eyes are covered with white.People in their early fifties look like they are 70 years old!After taking a closer look, he said, "Little Wood? Are you here?"

Mu Tong grabbed Granny Xu again, only to find that she was holding a hatchet in her sleeve!Mu Tong was in a hurry: "Mother-in-law! What are you doing?!"

Granny Xu held the hatchet and said with a sneer, "I won't live for a few more days, so why let him go out to harm people! It's better...it's better to take him with you! If you get to the underworld, you can guard him!" Really want to enter the house with a knife.

Mu Tong hurriedly hugged her, who would have thought that Granny Xu has a clear will to die and has great strength, Mu Tong is young and hard to grab for a while, so she shouted anxiously: "Brother Yuli, hurry up and save me!"

Xue Zhu didn't wait to be greeted, he had already passed through people, snatched the machete with his hands, and restrained Granny Xu.

Grandma Xu cried dumbly, and was dragged back to the room by the two of them.Shen Tuan followed behind.

As soon as he entered the outer room, he saw Xu Shuan lying on the ground with a big gash on his head, his blood had congealed prematurely, and he was unconscious.Granny Xu rushed forward again, wanting to pinch his neck, but Xue Zhu hurriedly stopped him, struggling and begging for help: "Master, Master, please help me, she has such a body, I dare not stick on the stagnation amulet."

Shen Tuan took out a requiem talisman and pasted it on Grandma Xu's seal, and she fell asleep in less than half a cup of tea.Xue Zhu put her on the chair and said with a smile, "Why didn't I think of that!"

Shen Tuan rolled his eyes: "Too young."

Mu Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Our neighbors on the street only heard that Uncle Xu Shuan went out at night, but he had never seen him. He was covered again, so I didn't recognize him last night. Granny Xu said that he was the first time yesterday I unlocked the door and walked out of the courtyard. If I hadn't chased him closely, I might have fallen into the well. I didn't expect to go again before dawn this morning. Grandma Xu couldn't wake up, so she didn't chase her. After seeing him, he finally lost his foot and fell unconscious on the stone railing of the medicine market. Granny Xu found out when someone carried him back! When she saw it, she cried and collapsed at the door."

Xue Zhu stepped forward to look at Xu Shuan's wound, but there was nothing serious about it, then he turned around and asked, "Master, it's okay, why isn't he awake?"

Shen Tuan sighed: "I'm afraid he was injured suddenly during a night outing, and he was shocked out of his wits. Look again."

Xue Zhu pinched the pulse gate with his right hand, and tried a soul-exploring talisman on Xu Shuan's body with his left hand, and said: "It's true, the soul is not complete."

"Not only does he lack a soul, he also lacks a soul, otherwise he won't die at night." Shen Tuan took the talisman and walked slowly down Xu Shuan's left shoulder: "Look, Fu Shi and the dead dog are not here."

Xue Zhu nodded in thought.

Seeing the dangerousness of what the two of them said, Mu Tong thought it was impossible, and muttered to himself: "Is it impossible to save? Grandma Xu has always been kind to the children in the alley, especially me...but I can't help her..." Said I feel like weeping.

Shen Tuan smiled: "Chensha, don't worry. When did I say there's no help?"

Mu Tong looked at Xue Zhu with a puzzled look on his face.

Shen Tuan kicked Xue Zhu: "Hey, what are you thinking? Seeing that you are scared by Chensha..."

Xue Zhu said in a daze: "Oh! It can be cured! I was thinking about how to tell which soul was lost. This is why I stopped."

Shen Tuan squatted down, pointed to Xu Shuan Baihui and said: "The fetal light is always in the body." He also pointed to the left and right shoulders: "Shuangling, the two souls of Youjing are traveling outside." He also pointed to the left shoulder under the collarbone: "He has lost it now. Shuang Ling, from the left shoulder, probe the Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, and look around."

Xue Zhu followed his words, and sure enough, he came out.By analogy: "I see, he must often lose his soul! He loses his soul when he is young, but he never returns. This is why he sleepwalks all the time!"

Shen Tuan said: "That's right! You call him back at night. First settle down the two souls, and then strengthen the spirit."

Xue Zhu nodded: "Understood!"

Just after Haishi, Xue Zhu made an octagonal white lantern.Some of Xu Shuan's blood was dotted in the wick.Standing at the intersection of the cross alley, he burned Xu Shuan's birthday horoscope, and whispered: "Respect all sides, and communicate in all directions! The fairy gods, foxes and ghosts return to their hometown, and the passing gentleman will help a group. Xu Shuan, go home!"

Repeat this three times, and the flames in the white lantern flourish.Xue Zhu spread out his left hand, waiting to arrest the soul.Suddenly his face changed, his throat became tight, and his eye circles were red.He turned his head and looked behind him.

Two people came walking in the dark, the one in front was fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a flowing scarf and wearing a shirt, with a radiant look.The 23 in the back has a straight skirt and proud eyes.Holding a small bamboo tube with his fingers, he was looking at Xue Zhu with a smile.

Xue Zhu smiled wryly and bowed his head: "Tang Zhenjun, Mr. Yuxuan. What are you doing...?"

Tang Bing threw the bamboo tube in his hand at him: "Didn't you call the passing gang? The two of us passed by. You caught the soul easily." Looking around, he asked, "Where is Shen Tunan?"

Shen Tuan heard something strange, so he turned out from the courtyard.Seeing the two of them, he was startled.Lightly cupping his hands, he said: "I haven't thanked Zhenjun yet, he saved us last time."

Tang Bing raised his eyebrows and said, "You're welcome, thank you Yu Li."

Xue Zhu suppressed his emotions and asked, "You two, where are you going? Why did you pass by Wanqing?"

Tang Bing put his arms around Yuxuan's shoulder and said: "Isn't this the Enke of this year? Let's go to the province to join in the fun! Let me tell you that the examination room is very interesting! People praying to God, cheating on the spot, and all kinds of things Enmity and Enmity Two Ghosts."

Xue Zhu slapped his forehead, thinking that you two are really idle! !It's the first time I heard of going there to play!

Yuxuan tugged on Tang Bing's lapel, Tang Bing immediately bowed to them both, and said, "Let's go, you two should rest in peace! If there is a thank you, we will share half of it, haha!" Then he turned and left. step into the night.

Xue Zhu returned the salute, Shen Tuan tossed his cloak and went back to the house.

Mu Tong has already told Granny Xu little by little about the past, and the old and the young are waiting inside the house.Seeing that Shen Tuan's expressionless face turned back, they all became nervous.Not long after, Xue Zhu came back and said that everything went well, so he was relieved.

Xue Zhu opened the bamboo tube, held the soul inside, came to Xu Shuan's side, thought for a while and said, "Master, can I borrow a talisman?"

Shen Tuan didn't move, and said harshly: "You can't draw? Why do you want my broken paper?"

Xue Zhu felt strange, so he sealed the soul back into the bamboo tube, drew out a talisman with cinnabar, and held it in his hand.Release the soul for the second time and push it into the guardian talisman, then separate the two souls and push them in from Xu Shuan's left shoulder.Seeing that the two souls were running, he put Shuangling in again.Pinch the pulse door to check, there is no accident.Only then did he pull out another requiem talisman and put it on Xu Shuan's chest.

Mu Tong and Granny Xu didn't dare to breathe, so they asked, "Are you ready?"

Xue Zhu smiled: "Okay! He will wake up in half a day, and after a few more days of recuperation, he will never sleepwalk again!"

I don't need to elaborate on how grateful Granny Xu is to tears.

The three of them turned out of the house, and Mu Tong asked, "Still staying at my house?"

Shen Tuan didn't stop on his feet, and said: "I won't go, let's go now."

Xue Zhu looked at his back, and said to Mu Tong: "Go back quickly, and I will come to see you when you are free. If you have something urgent, go to Puheng Hall to find Yuanwai Du."

Mu Tong responded one by one, Xue Zhu hurried a few steps, and caught up with Shen Tuan.
