Exorcism

As a Taoist, one should welcome the beginning of each day with full spirit. Zhang Lingsheng is an ordinary Taoist who has always followed this rule. He got up when the sky was dim, took 18 deep breaths, Knock your teeth nine times, then walk out of the room, take advantage of the fresh air, and do a bone-forging fist, and immediately feel that your body feels a little lighter.

Zhang Lingsheng moved out a table and a stool from the room. On the table were placed pens, inks, papers and inkstones, as well as a half-old book. He opened the pages page by page and did not stop until there was a blank page. He picked up the pen and wrote neatly: " With the words "The Thirty-seventh Patriarch of the Taoist tradition, six hundred and twenty-eight years", he put down his pen, coughed, and shouted to the room on the other side of the yard: "Come here."

A few pairs of eyes stared at him from the crack of the window for a long time. When they heard the shouts, the teenagers from Yelin Town immediately ran out of the room and gathered around. This was a group of homeless people who had not yet recovered from the grief and shock. They were eager to I hope to be recognized by my new destination.

"Get in line." Zhang Lingsheng said, his voice not very harsh.

The teenagers behaved very well, obviously eager to make a good impression on the adults, and Zhang Lingsheng was satisfied with this.

"Ahem." Zhang Lingsheng held a pen in his right hand and sat upright, "First of all, I would like to congratulate you. It has been ten days since you came to Jinghu Village. The masters and leaders on the mountain have finally-" Zhang Lingsheng drawled his voice, "and agreed to accept you as Pangshan disciples. "

There was a trace of relief on the faces of the lonely-looking teenagers.

"Originally, November is the time when the mountain gate opens every year. You guys came too early. It's only the fourth day of July, and there are still four months to go. You still have to live in Jinghu Village. It's up to me -" Zhang Lingsheng added He extended his time at a time, raised his head slightly, and bulged his chest high, "I will teach you some basic Taoism and the rules of the mountain sect."

The teenagers also puffed up their chests.

"The first step is to register your names, place of birth, and birthdays." Zhang Lingsheng pointed to the book on the table. "Every word written on it will be preserved in Pangshan forever. It will last forever." Prove that you are Pangshan disciples.”

Zhang Lingsheng dipped his pen in his hands and said to the boy in the first place: "Start with you, your name."

"Xiaoqiu."

Zhang Lingsheng frowned slightly, "What's your last name?"

"Mu." Xiaoqiu thought for a while before saying. It wasn't that she forgot her last name, but it was a bit awkward that she never mentioned it.

"A three-pointed wood? A solemn wood? Or some other wood?"

"It's Mu..." Xiaoqiu struggled to draw in the air. He had only stayed in the school for less than a month. He didn't recognize a few words at that time, and now he has almost forgotten it.

Zhang Lingsheng held the pen for too long, and a drop of ink fell on the book. The perfect blank page was suddenly destroyed. Zhang Lingsheng hurriedly dipped a rag in it, but the ink mark still remained.

Xiao Qiu and the other teenagers looked at him eagerly, and Zhang Lingsheng blushed all of a sudden. He knew what these little guys were expecting, but he couldn't do it. "As long as you enter Jinghu Village, you are considered to be in Pangshan Realm, and you are not allowed to cast any spells." "

A soft voice came from the back of the team and replied for Xiaoqiu: "I'm so envious."

Erliang was afraid that others would not know, so he loudly said in the middle of the team: "Fangfang is Xiaoqiu's wife."

The teenagers laughed, but Zhang Lingsheng was not very happy, thinking that the children were joking, "Quiet." He said sternly, "Mu Xiaoqiu?"

"Um."

"Hometown."

"Place of origin?"

"Where were you born?

"

"In the woods."

Zhang Lingsheng shook his head and directly wrote "Xiaoerbao Yelin Town, Xijie Country", and then asked: "Birthday refers to the year and day you were born."

"I know this. It was the seventh day of April in the year 102 of Emperor Sheng Fu Gong."

"Then you are twelve years old this year." Zhang Lingsheng said, but what he wrote on the book was "The seventh day of April in the 616th year of the 37th Taoist Patriarch."

Er Shuan immediately squeezed forward, "My surname is Shen, and my name is Er Shuan. I was born in the big house in the east wing of my house. That is..."

"Wait, your name is Shen Ershuan?"

"yes."

"What kind of name is this?" Zhang Lingsheng had a bad feeling. Without writing anything in the book, he asked the young man behind him, "What's your name?"

"Xiaoqiu and I have the same last name, Lengzi.

"My name is Shen Daliang."

"Shen Erliang."

The teenagers reported their names one by one. Zhang Lingsheng's brows furrowed more and more tightly. When he heard "Zhao Xiaoxiao", he couldn't bear it any longer. He moved his pen across the table, and ended up writing another few words on the notebook. Leave an ink stain behind.

"Your parents gave you this kind of name?" Zhang Lingsheng was very angry. "We, Pangshan, are one of the nine great sects. All the disciples we accept are among the best. From now on, we will travel all over the world. Do you just call yourself Pangshan?" "Shan Zhao puppy', 'Pang Shan Mu Lengzi'?"

The teenagers have never felt that there is anything wrong with their names. Now when Zhang Lingsheng said that it was indeed a bit inappropriate, Zhang Lingsheng sighed, "You always have a famous name, a scientific name or something, right?"

"I have a name. My name is... Shen, Shen Hao, Ri Tianhao." Er Shuan rushed to say.

Zhang Lingsheng picked up the pen again and said while writing: "This is what I mean by Pangshan disciples."

"I also have a name. Mr. Qin gave it to me. My name is Mu Feihuang." The idiot was the second to report his name.

More than half of the children in Yelin Town were named by Mr. Qin. Under the pressure of Zhang Lingsheng, the teenagers all remembered their other names. Daliang was named Shen Xiuming, Erliang was named Shen Xiuwei, and Xiaoshun was named Shen Tongyou. , the puppy's name is Zhao Dayi, and the pillar's name is Guan Jinwu.

Zhang Lingsheng nodded frequently, wrote quickly, and finally asked Fangfang, "What's your name?"

Fangfang's face turned slightly red. Everyone mentioned Mr. Qin in front of her, which made her feel more and more depressed. Seeing that she didn't want to speak, Ershuan said, "I know, I saw it in the marriage certificate. Fangfang called Qin Lingshuang.”

"Fangfang? Qin Lingshuang? As the old saying goes, 'You can't see the frost without the fragrance.' Your name is a bit interesting. Was it also given by Mr. Qin?"

"Mr. Qin is my father." Fangfang whispered, lowering her head, her voice was choked, but she did not shed tears.

Zhang Lingsheng nodded solemnly. He knew what happened to Yelin Town and immediately forgave the ignorance of these teenagers. After recording, he read the first item again and asked: "Your name is Mu Xiaoqiu. Mr. Qin didn't give Have you ever given a scientific name?”

Xiaoqiu has been thinking about it for a long time, "I...can't remember it."

Er Shuan did not forget to explain, "Because Xiaoqiu and Fangfang were playing a marriage game, Mr. Qin did not allow him to enter the school."

"Nonsense." Zhang Lingsheng shook his head and prepared to put away his pen, "Then let's call him Mu Xiaoqiu."

"He has a scientific name." Fangfang said hurriedly, her cheeks getting even brighter red, "His name is Mu Xingqiu, who means Xingyunliushui."

The teenagers giggled together, and Xiaoqiu's face turned red. He thought Fangfang had completely forgotten all the past events.

"There is another person." Xiaoqiu said.

"Where?" Zhang Lingsheng was confused.

"He came out with us, but he was killed by the snake demon. Can... can you also write his name on it?"

The teenagers thought of Bald Man and all looked at Zhang Lingsheng expectantly.

"How can a dead person be a disciple of Pangshan? Pangshan has no such precedent." Zhang Lingsheng shook his head and refused, but seeing the disappointment of the young people was palpable, he relented again, "This, this... Okay, but just write the name, no Remember your place of birth and birth date.”

The teenagers met in a circle and discussed quietly for a while. Finally, Xiaoqiu spoke, "The bald man's name is Mu Songxuan, the pine tree's pine, and the Xuanfu army's Xuan."

Zhang Lingsheng did not continue writing in order, but wrote the three words "Mu Songxuan" in the blank space next to the two groups of ink.

The registration work was finally completed. Zhang Lingsheng felt it was necessary to remind the new disciples, "From now on, you will be Pangshan disciples. No matter which step you take in the path of cultivation, the four words 'Pangshan Taoism' will always follow." You, so-" He made a more stern look, "You are not allowed to call each other by nicknames from now on, you can only call each other by your first name, not Ershuan, puppy, or idiot, you must forget them all. "

The teenagers nodded, feeling as if they were back in Mr. Qin's school again.

"Can't he also be called Xiaoqiu?" Er Shuan Chen Hao had to ask if he had doubts in his heart, "Just now you said he can be called Mu Xiaoqiu."

Zhang Lingsheng's head began to hurt. It seemed that he was destined to miss out on feeling refreshed today. "Well, okay, but you should try to call him Mu Xingqiu."

The teenagers laughed, and everyone called them "Brother Xiaoqiu" instead of "Mu Xingqiu".

"You are special." Zhang Lingsheng tried to free himself from the pile of names and continued hurriedly, "The time when I developed my Tao roots was very short, and I know almost nothing about Taoism, so during the four months I lived at the foot of the mountain, I You are allowed to ask questions at will - only about matters related to spiritual practice."

Er Shuan Shen Hao immediately raised a question that all teenagers were concerned about, "How did the demon get rid of all the people in the town? Where did it go? Are the people in the town dead or alive? Can they be found again in the future?" "

Zhang Lingsheng regretted it, "I have never been to Yelin Town... Besides, this matter has nothing to do with Taoism, so I can't answer it."

Xiaoqiu also has a question that she has been holding in her mind for several days, "Why doesn't the head of the Forbidden Secret Division like us? We don't know him and have never offended him."

Zhang Lingsheng became more and more embarrassed, "This has nothing to do with cultivating Taoism..."

"But isn't the leader a person with a very high status? If he doesn't like us, we won't be able to concentrate on cultivating Taoism. It's very relevant."

Zhang Lingsheng felt that Mu Xingqiu would be a difficult little guy in the future. He thought about it and said, "This is at the foot of the mountain anyway, so it doesn't hurt to give some inside information. You know, the biggest enemy of a monk is the devil, and there are external devils." , even the demons you have encountered before, there are also inner demons. Even if you become a disciple of Pangshan, you must be on guard at all times during cultivation. If you are not careful, you may enter the demonic path. "

Zhang Lingsheng put one hand on the table and pointed to the towering Ancestor Peak with the other, "Pangshan Taoism is divided into ten branches. Among them, the disciples of the Forbidden Secret Branch are the most susceptible to being possessed by demons. The ratio is almost half, and the disciples who are not possessed by demons are also It's become weird. The head of the Forbidden Secret Division has a nickname, "Zuo Ban crazy". He keeps an eye on things like becoming a demon more closely than anyone else. In fact, this is a good thing. After all, you have been exposed to demons, so you are a bit stressed. It is good."

The joy of becoming Pangshan's disciples has weakened a lot. When they think of themselves being stared at by a half-crazy leader, the teenagers all feel chills running down their backs.

On top of the thousand-foot peak, there are indeed two pairs of eyes staring at the teenagers in Yelin Town.

Grandmaster Ning Qiwei knocked down the bronze mirror on the table and said to Zuo Liuying, the head of the Forbidden Secret Department: "Everyone agrees to give them a chance. The matter of demon seeds giving birth to Tao roots is worth exploring. They will be strictly monitored. As long as there is The slightest sign of obsession and they'll be at your disposal."

Zuo Liuying nodded. He failed to get the support of other leaders and had to compromise with the master. However, he would keep an eye on these teenagers in his own way and would not stop until his initial judgment was proved to be correct.
