Modern Little Town God

Next to the big bed, an open space was cleared and a simple altar was set up.

A burly man in Taoist robes seemed to have just walked through a fight. At this time, he looked at the woman by the bed, opened her eyelids to observe, and felt her pulse again, and said that sentence.

Ruan Jiao walked in, glanced at Liang Li who was standing by the wall, and took a closer look at the strong man.

Looking at his breath, watching his attire...it seems to belong to the Maoshan school.

There are two main sects of Xuanmen, one is the Zhengyi sect, which is mainly focused on spells, and the other is the Quanzhen sect, which is based on the Quanzhen sect and majored in alchemy cultivation. The Maoshan sect has many High attainments are also included in the Orthodox One Sect, which is considered to be a very famous part of it.

Before he was able to manifest his divine body, Ruan Jiao had a great gap with the priesthood of City God, and it was difficult to distinguish different sects by his aura, but now he can match the aura of a strong man with the Maoshan Taoist priest in his memory—— And I'm afraid this is not a wild Taoist priest or a small sect who only learned some superficial spells by accident, but a descendant of Maoshan who has received the scriptures.It's just that Taoism has declined, and most of the inheritance has been cut off. I don't know how much this successor can have.

Ruan Jiao recalled Daoist Yu and Taoist Zhao before. They both belonged to the Zhengyi Sect, but which faction they belonged to... The genealogy is too complicated, and it is difficult to distinguish.Those two are also recipients, but the one who is the nephew doesn't even have a talisman mirror, and his ability to cast spells is limited, while the one who is the uncle is stronger, but it consumes too much after casting several spells. If the level of Taoism is not low in the current Taoism, then the situation of Taoism may be worse than he thought.

Just as he was thinking about it, the burly and strong man stepped forward again, muttering something in his mouth: "Opening the Heavenly Court...Three souls are on the left, seven spirits are on the right...It is also ominous...Urgent as a law."

After reading it several times in a row, the burly man went to look at the woman again, and seeing that her yin energy was not diminished, and her mind was still not clear, he sighed and said, "Just now I saw that Liang Shanren's soul was not weakened by illness, so I judged that she is not She was robbed of her home, so she recited my Maoshan sect's awakening mantra many times. It is reasonable to say that she should wake up at least for a while, but she didn't... It can be seen that the disturbance was very deep. I am afraid that her soul will be taken away later. Or the condition keeps getting worse, and the vitality is simply cut off."

Hearing his words, an old lady next to her became anxious.

"Master Han, is there no way to save this?" She was very panicked, "My daughter is still young, and she still has a long life! What is going on with her situation, why is there a ghost trying to kill her? Is it, is it..."

Daoist Han raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is it?"

The old man of the Liang family supported the old lady. He was a little calmer than the old lady. His eyes were slightly red and he said: "Liwan and her husband have a deep relationship, and I will be sad every day for him. Could it be that he is reluctant to part with Liwan? Want to take Li Wan away?"

Daoist Han thought for a while: "It's not impossible. How about this, you take a relic of Liang Shanren's husband, and I will calculate it for them."

The old lady hurried to look for it, but Liang Li, who was guarding the side, moved first. He quickly ran to get a necklace, handed it to Daoist Han, and said in a hurried tone: "My little aunt is very sad these days, and she has to wear it every night. Take out the things of her and my little uncle to recall, do you think this thing is okay?"

Daoshi Han took it over: "Of course it's better to play with it often."

There is a small photo frame hanging under the necklace. Inside is a photo of a woman and a gentle man. The two look very intimate.This necklace looks like it has been maintained frequently, it is very smooth and bright.

Daoist Han took out a yellow talisman and drew a Zhang talisman, and wrote Liang Liwan's birth date, and then wrapped the necklace with the talisman.He stretched out his hand to grab Liang Liwan, and grasped the talisman paper necklace with his hand. With the other hand, he raised his sword fingers and recited the incantation, and then put a little on the talisman paper——

The next moment, the talisman paper started to burn, and it was burnt out in a blink of an eye.

The necklace is in perfect condition.

Taoist Han shook his head, with a little disappointment on his face: "No."

If it was, he also knew what was causing it, but it wasn't, and the clue was broken again.

Hearing what he said, everyone in the Liang family didn't know what he was thinking.

Taoist Han hesitated, and said, "I have a question, I don't know whether I should ask it or not."

Mr. Liang said, "Master, just ask."

Daoist Han said: "This situation is actually very similar to a ghost marriage. I don't know if Mr. Liang and Mrs. Liang have exchanged Liang Shanren's birth date with other people, and promised each other to marry Qin and Jin. if?"

Old Man Liang said angrily: "No, how could I marry my daughter to a ghost? She hasn't come out of the grief of losing her husband yet. If I want to do this, won't I just add salt to her wound?"

Daoist Han hurriedly comforted him: "Mr. Liang calm down, that's not what I mean." He cleared up his words, "What I mean is, when you two are chatting with others, do you have any similar jokes, for example, the other party mentioned it to you two? He asked Liang Shanren about his son's birth date, and joked about how good the two families would be, even if they were separated for a long time, and they chatted at different times. "

Mr. Liang thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head and said, "No."

Mrs. Liang also said, "No."

Daoist Han was puzzled.

And Ruan Jiao had already opened his eyes to look at Liang Liwan when Taoist Han was practicing the method. He had known for a long time that this was not a ghost marriage, because a ghost marriage is also a marriage, and there must be a marriage line on Liang Liwan, bringing her to a cat. But now she only has a broken red thread on her body, which means that her husband is dead, and they will no longer have fate... This probably means that her husband has entered the underworld, and may even have been reincarnated, Become a new person.

It's not a ghost marriage, it's not a seizing house, and the soul is disturbed to the point of unconsciousness, with serious symptoms, it's really hard to tell.

Ruan Jiao was also very puzzled. He couldn't understand such a situation for a while.

But forget it, if you don't understand it, don't understand it. They don't have as many tricks as Taoist priests in making gods, so just come here - he reached out and grabbed a handful of yin energy from Liang Liwan's body, twisted it into a silk thread, and then threw it outside.

Next, he followed the silk thread to find the big ghost.

Ruan Jiao followed the Yin Qi and strode along, and arrived in a mountainous area in the suburbs before he knew it.

He didn't pay attention to it before, but looking at it now, there is a lot of yin here, and there should be big ghosts—not surprising, most of the ghosts are in places that are inaccessible, and there are not many in the downtown area.

It's just that there was a white mist everywhere, and I couldn't find the way.

Ruan Jiao paused, feeling very strange.

Could it be the ecstasy ghost technique created by the big ghost?But for Chenghuang, it is difficult to confuse him with ghost tricks.

Ruan Jiao opened his eyes again and looked around.

Seeing this, he was stunned.

The scene in front of him suddenly changed.

The white mist all over the sky suddenly changed from thick to light, revealing a large area of ​​mountain forest. There are miscellaneous paths in the mountain forest. There are some dilapidated small graves under some trees beside the path, which looks very desolate.

The two tall figures seem to be unable to see each other clearly, while probing and searching...it is the bull's head and the horse's face.

Ruan Jiao frowned, walked over quickly, and threw the city god's seal at the white mist——

In an instant, the white mist was completely dispersed, and the bull's head and horse face seemed to have recovered, and immediately looked at Ruan Jiao.

"Master Chenghuang!" The two ghosts and gods quickly approached, their faces full of embarrassment.

Qin Su said, "We were too careless tonight."

When she looked at the sky, she didn't know that it was the two of them who failed to go back on time, which attracted the city god's search?As subordinates, it is their dereliction of duty that they have to work hard for the superior to rescue them.

Li Sanniang followed Tan Su, with shame on Ma's face.

"City God, it's our fault."

Ruan Jiao waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to admit your mistakes. As ghosts and gods, how could you be confused by ghosts?"

After thinking about it, Tan Su replied: "After we went to the villa, we found that Ms. Liang's yin energy had relapsed, and it was stronger than before, so I grabbed the yin energy on her body and searched for it... After we got here, we didn't know it was her. What's going on, I suddenly felt that I couldn't see the other party, and seemed to be lost, so I tried my best to find it." She looked at Li Sanniang and confirmed, "Sister Li, too?"

Li Sanniang said "hmm" and said, "It's really ignorant and that's it. I also used my supernatural power, but it didn't work."

Ruan Jiao pondered.

The operation of the bull-headed horse face is the same as his, except that he will be lost immediately when he arrives at this place, and the white mist also briefly confuses his vision, but once he opens his eyes, everything becomes clear.

Moreover, he smashed the white mist with the City God's Seal, although he didn't use much divine power, but it was too little to break up just one piece. According to this calculation, if he wanted to destroy all the white mist, he must consume a lot of divine power...

It's not right.

While Ruan Jiao was thinking, something came from afar.

He subconsciously used his divine power to hide the bull's head and horse face and himself.

In the distance, white mist drifted away, and in the midst of the white mist, several stiff figures jumped up and down, neatly, getting closer and closer.

Ruan Jiao looked over, his pupils suddenly constricted.

Is it... a paper man?

Four handsome paper piers with expressionless faces, wearing Tang suits and caps, with thick blush on their faces, are jumping forward carrying a small sedan chair.Every time he jumps, the sedan chair can advance several meters, and the speed is quite fast, and the sedan chair is blue, with white "囍" characters pasted on the four top corners.

Small windows were opened on both sides of the sedan chair, and the curtains fluttered, revealing a pale woman in white clothes.

It's Leung Lai Wan!

Ruan Jiao narrowed his eyes.

Liang Liwan is still a living soul, but if the paper piercer is allowed to take her away, she might not be able to survive.

She must be stopped.

Ruan Jiao was about to make the bull's head attack immediately, but before he could make a sound, a figure slid over quickly stepping on something, and at this moment threw a rope around the necks of the four paper-wrapped people in an instant.

The four paper-wrapped men grabbed the rope violently, and it would break as soon as it was pulled. They kept moving, and they were about to jump into the white mist ahead with the sedan chair on their shoulders.

The figure threw out a few more yellow talismans, bursting out with flames, blasting the paper-stuck man's arm, and the sedan chair fell to the ground with a "bang".

Next, the figure held a sword and fought against the paper piercer.

The figure was that Daoist Han, who might have realized something was wrong and chased after him, barely blocking the path of the Zhizharen.

However, is the paper stick man from the mourning hall?Ruan Jiao thought that he hadn't paid attention to the mourning hall before, maybe there are different paper-wrapped figures in it, and I don't know.

Ruan Jiao glanced at Liang Liwan in the sedan chair, but did not wake her up with divine power.

It's not a good experience to be forcibly carried away by a ghost, and if you wake her up rashly, you will easily lose your mind from fright. Let's see if Taoist Han can rescue Liang Liwan.

Daoist Han is holding a very good copper coin sword, blazing with fire, every attack can cause a lot of damage to the paper piercing people, but the paper piercing people are not real, they seem to be tireless It seemed to be constantly attacking, so that Daoist Han was able to fight at first, but gradually his mana was consumed too quickly, and he became a little stretched.

Ruan Jiao saw that the paper piercing man became more and more courageous as he fought, and gestured to the two female ghosts.

Qin Su and Li Sanniang appeared in a blink of an eye, each resisting a paper prick in an instant.

·

Han Zhuang didn't expect that the order he received this time would be so tricky. As the orthodox celestial master of Maoshan, he can be said to be one of the best among young people. He thought that he would come here to expel the yin energy and at most find the lost soul, but he didn't expect it All kinds of conjectures have been overturned, and when he was thinking hard, the suffering master suddenly left his body and floated out of the window?

When he reacted and chased after him, he saw four strange paper-wrapped figures emerging from the mourning hall. They came over carrying a small sedan chair and stuffed Liang Liwan's living soul inside, and they had already hopped away.

It can be said that Han Zhuang used all his strength to catch up, but after catching up, he gradually fell behind with one enemy and four. If this continues, he will lose face. How can he live with it if he is taken away and cannot return Yang?Future practice will be affected.

It's a pity that Han Zhuang stepped up his offensive, but it was almost exhausted. Just when he was trying his best to find a way, suddenly, two tall strange figures appeared, one strange and one strange, and first they beat the two paper pricked people into pieces , his pressure suddenly decreased a lot, and he took the opportunity to kill the one in front of him, and the ghost quickly solved the last one.

Relieved, Han Zhuang was about to thank the two ghosts, but before he could speak, the two ghosts disappeared again.

Han Zhuang: "..."

Let's send the living soul back first.

The next moment, Han Zhuang took out a few talisman papers from his pocket, rolled on the spot, and five little ghosts appeared.

The little ghosts quickly lifted up the sedan chair, and under Han Zhuang's order, they walked towards the villa...

Han Zhuang first bowed to the place where the strange shadow disappeared: "Thank you for the rescue."

Then, he took the kid and the sedan chair back together.

Ruan Jiao said, "Follow me and have a look."

The bull's head and horse's face followed him, and followed him together.

While Han Zhuang was escorting him, he murmured in his heart: Those two strange figures looked familiar, but unfortunately they didn't even see the back... They must be ghosts too, they were driven by some fellow Taoist to help, or they couldn't see it and came to help ?You have to investigate carefully when you look back.

·

Liang Liwan's living soul returned to her body smoothly, but unfortunately she still didn't wake up, so the matter is still not resolved.

Previously, everyone in the Liang family only saw the strange wind blowing, and this Master Han jumped out of the window in a hurry, and Liang Liwan's complexion was much uglier, and they were very panicked. Now seeing Han Zhuang come back and do something, Liang Liwan's complexion improved a lot , only to ask him what happened in surprise and fear.

Han Zhuang was also very troubled, and said directly: "Just now Liang Shanren's living soul was carried away in a sedan chair by a few paper-wrapped people. The sedan chair was pasted with the word '囍', obviously it was going to be sent to a certain big ghost. But the ghosts who can stay in the world now, unless the top few celestial masters in the ghost king are unwilling to provoke, most of them are under surveillance, and they are very cautious in doing things, and it is impossible to catch human souls at will." He sighed , "Happy words on the green leather sedan chair, and paper figurines to send girls to Lang's house. Liang Shanren was given to that big ghost to be his concubine. Mr. Liang, Mrs. Liang, do you really know nothing?"

Ruan Jiao also came back, and when he heard Han Zhuang say this, he was suddenly shocked.

Ghost concubine?

That's right, from ancient times to the present as a couple, only husband and wife can have a marriage line recognized by heaven and earth, and there is no concubine.It's not a ghost marriage, but being given to a big ghost as a concubine, of course, you won't see anything.When it is really sent to the big ghost, the big ghost will hold a concubine ceremony, and the causal line will probably show something, but that has nothing to do with marriage.

However, if a living person becomes a concubine to a ghost, if the living person does not agree to it himself, then someone must agree to it for her, and the person who can agree to it for her is logically said that only the parents, even if the parents are gone, can be the parents of the parents. Will not work.

However, the old couple of the Liang family had indeed never done anything, no matter how they asked, their expressions were magnanimous.

Seeing that his grandparents were excited by the interrogation, Liang Li himself became impulsive. He rushed over to grab Han Zhuang by the collar, and said angrily, "What's the matter with you Taoist priest? Ask! What are you asking! Auntie! Old girl, my grandma loves her the most, how could she be sold to a ghost as a concubine! She is a living person, our family has everything, why sell her? Is it because you are incompetent, so you shirk responsibility like this ah?!"

Han Zhuang pulled Liang Li's hand away with a wry smile, and said helplessly, "I also want to find the root cause as soon as possible, so as to relieve Liang Shanren from danger, right? The current situation is that I have brought her back temporarily, but if the other party still comes to look for her Man, I will stop him, but can I stop him for a while or for a lifetime? I'm not sure how strong that big ghost is, and if I don't find out, I'm not sure to talk to him..."

Liang Li let go of his hand, not knowing whether to trust Han Zhuang or not.

Then Han Zhuang asked a few more questions, but there was nothing he could do for a while.

Ruan Jiao was impatient to hear them tearing it apart, so she asked the bull to stare at it, while she walked into the other rooms to see if there were any other clues to find.

In the nearby study room, Ruan Jiao looked up and saw a huge photo on the wall—it was a wedding photo, the couple stood in the wedding hall, the man wore a red suit with big red flowers tied, and the woman wore a phoenix crown and Xiapei. The two faced each other and bowed down to each other.

Seeing this scene, something flashed through Ruan Jiao's mind, and he subconsciously exerted a divine power.

The next second - "Boom!"

The huge photo fell to the ground together with the frame.

The loud noise alarmed the people in the master bedroom, and Han Zhuang walked over quickly and saw the picture.

Pale moonlight spilled through the window lattice, illuminating the scene in the photo.

Han Zhuang saw it clearly, and suddenly said in amazement: "When Liang Shanren got married, did he use the ancient ceremony?"

Liang Li, who followed, said, "They are married, what's wrong?"

Han Zhuang took a deep breath, helped the photo up first, and then said: "I still have some questions to ask, let's explain together then."

Back in the master bedroom, Han Zhuang said solemnly: "From now on, don't ask me, I will answer whatever I ask, and I will talk about other things after I finish asking, is that okay?"

Everyone in the Liang family looked at each other and agreed, but suddenly they had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Han Zhuang asked: "Did you strictly follow the ancient etiquette when worshiping in the church? For example, worshiping heaven and earth, parents, and husband and wife, is it equally good?"

Mrs. Liang nodded: "Yes."

"When paying respects, should the male be superior to the female or the female be superior to the male?"

"...the male is taller than the female."

"Does Liang Shan take a sedan chair? Are other procedures the same? Are your feet on the ground?"

"It was in a bridal sedan chair. According to the custom, her brother carried it to the wedding hall, and his feet never touched the ground."

"Is there a hijab? When picking up the hijab, who picked it, how did it pick it, and did you use a scale?"

"There is a hijab. According to ancient rituals, a relative of the man first tapped the top of Liwan's head with a scale, and then picked it from the bottom up..."

Although Han Zhuang asked many and complicated questions, Mrs. Liang still made it very clear.

Han Zhuang's expression was very complicated, and he said: "In the ancient rituals of worship, women always bow their heads to men. This...how did Liang Shanren want to use the ancient rituals to get married?"

Mrs. Liang sighed: "At that time, Liwan's husband was from an ordinary family. In order to give Liwan the best, the wedding was held in our Liang family. Later, Liwan felt that this would hurt Xiao Luo's face, so she decided to hold it at Xiao Luo's house too. It was an ancient ceremony. At that time, Liwan checked it on purpose, and felt that the couple had a good relationship. Since Xiao Luo held the wedding here first in order to give her the best, regardless of outsiders' gossip, she can also do it here. Luo's hometown gave Xiao Luo a face, anyway, it's just a formality..."

Ruan Jiao stood by, and when he heard this, he was in the same mood as Han Zhuang, very complicated.

Han Zhuang was silent, and asked the last question: "Did you write a marriage letter when you visited the hall?"

Mrs. Liang and Mr. Liang looked at each other and said, "I wrote it."

Ruan Jiao thought to himself, it really is.
