Exorcism

Xiaoqiu has become obsessed with it recently. Although the library's study room is full of ordinary books introducing Taoism, which Mei Chuanan judged as useless, he still reads them with gusto and has gained a lot of knowledge. When he encounters unfamiliar words or If he doesn't understand something, he can ask the most patient teacher.

"Did you know? The Nine Great Paths surround the Holy Talisman Dynasty and have been fighting against demons. It is because of the protection of Taoist priests that humans can enjoy a peaceful life. I always thought it was the Mysterious Talisman Army of the various vassal states protecting the borders." Xiao Qiu was surprised by this record.

It was mid-afternoon, and the sun shone slantly into the study, which was not dazzling. Xiaoqiu sat cross-legged on the floor, and Fangfang sat behind the desk. When she heard Xiaoqiu talking, she put down the book in her hand and thought for a while, "It should be said. Everyone is performing their duties, and there are also Fu Lu masters who are also protecting the border and fighting against demons. Our Yelin Town is too small and we have only had contact with the Xuan Fu Army and don’t know much about other people.”

"Taoist priests should go out often, just like Li Yuechi, so that ordinary people can know the truth. In this way, everyone will be alert beforehand, and Yelin Town will not be unprepared to face the demon species."

"Taoist priests don't like to appear in public. This seems to be a rule set long ago."

"This rule is not good." Xiaoqiu immediately made a judgment.

The relationship between the Nine Great Traditions and the Shengfu Dynasty was very complicated. Every rule had its own reasons. Fangfang didn't know much about it, so she grinned and immediately put the book up in front of her mouth.

"Fangfang."

"Um?"

"There's something...do you find it strange?"

"About the spell?"

"Yes, that Lin Dujie said it was crazy talk and nonsense, but I always felt that those five words... seemed to have some influence on me."

"What impact?"

"I can't forget these five words. Sometimes I read them in my dreams. Then I can read them easier than before, and my boxing practice becomes smoother."

"After the Dao root is ignited, everyone will learn boxing and literacy very quickly, but it is useless if you don't work hard. You work harder than others. I have seen you practicing boxing alone in the yard at night, and you are the only one willing to stay. Come down and read more books.

Xiaoqiu smiled after being praised. He had to work harder than others. He wanted to become a Five Elements Mage like Li Yuechi. The most important thing was that he wanted to find his relatives in Yelin Town and challenge the demon species himself.

"But I understand how you feel." Fangfang tilted her head and looked to the front right, as if there was an invisible book there, "I often think of those five words, and occasionally read them out accidentally, twice. After reading it, I really felt that something strange had changed in front of me, but if I looked carefully, nothing had changed. "

In order to verify her statement, Fangfang stretched out her right arm, held her fingers diagonally in front of her, and whispered softly: "Don't be wrong or weak."

Ever since Lin Dujiao from Yangshen Peak claimed that these five words were meaningless, no one was afraid of them anymore, but no one was willing to hear them with their own ears. Even if there were no outsiders in the study, Fangfang still did not dare to raise her voice.

Xiaoqiu's eyes widened and he stared at Fangfang's palm without blinking. He held his breath and the hairs all over his body stood up. He had a premonition that a miracle was about to happen in front of him. He even felt the stagnant air in the room flow for no reason, causing a stir. A very slight wind, like a sign of an approaching rainstorm.

"Brother Xiaoqiu, come out quickly!" Erliang Shen Xiuwei rushed in. The door of the study room was not closed, and he jumped in front of Xiaoqiu.

Fangfang trembled and quickly retracted her arm. Xiaoqiu almost fell backwards.

He stood up and asked, "What happened?"

Shen Xiuwei had only run a few steps, but she was out of breath and her face was red from holding in her breath, "Yun San'er, Yun San'er is here, standing at the gate, Taoist Zhang is forcing everyone..."

Young people with Taoist roots must be sent directly to the guest house by Taoist priests. Their families are not allowed to enter Jinghu Village, even princes from vassal states are no exception. However, Xin Youtao, the prince of Xijie Kingdom, has his own way to show his noble status.

The piles of items delivered three days in advance were one of the ways. Now, he wanted to establish his position among the new disciples of Pangshan Taoism in one fell swoop.

Erliang Shen Xiuwei was delayed for a while, so when he took Xiaoqiu and Fangfang to the front yard, the yard was already full of people, and all the children were looking at the newcomers with curiosity and awe. Xiaoqiu was surprised that several children from Yelin Town actually stood at the foot of the steps, bowing their heads and lowering their hands, as if they had made a huge mistake and were admitting it to the person involved. Only Shen Hao stood far away on the other side of the courtyard, his face blue and red. .

Shen Xiuwei whispered: "I can't hold my brother back."

The reason why Daliang, Shen Xiuming and others surrendered in front of the prince soon became clear.

"Put everything here." Zhang Lingsheng stood next to Xin Youtao, trying to remain calm, but whenever his eyes turned to the prince of Xijie King, anyone could see the gratitude and flattery in his eyes.

"Are you all going to move out?" Zhang Lingsheng asked in a low voice. In order to cater to Xin Youtao's height, he unconsciously became half shorter.

Xin Youtao nodded slightly, "Well, everyone move out. This is the gift I want to give to everyone."

Speaking of the gifts, Zhang Lingsheng's gratitude was even more expressive, and he said loudly: "Listen up, everyone, His Royal Highness the Prince of Xijie King has come all the way to prepare some gifts for everyone. These are the boxes and packages. Each person is only allowed to take one. , don’t pick randomly. Now go and move everything out of the house.”

Children all over the yard rushed to the room where the bags were stored, and moved things out excitedly. Only a few stood still.

Zhang Lingsheng had already received his gift. This was the reason why he was grateful to the prince and even forced several children to admit their mistakes without asking the truth. He did not feel it was excessive at all. He even thought that he owed Xin Youtao and could not help but cheat in public. He took out a small porcelain bottle and touched the vegetation pattern on it eagerly, "A bottle of five-section green wood balm, Your Highness, this gift is too heavy."

"Since you have entered the Taoist tradition, regardless of your origin, please do not call me 'Your Highness'. Like everyone here, I am just an ordinary person with Taoist roots. As for the balm, it is not a rare thing. Taoist Zhang likes it , I’ll have someone bring you some more later.”

Zhang Lingsheng almost burst into tears. If there were not other children present, he would really like to kowtow and thank him. After ten years of being the hostel of the Yingbin Hotel, he finally got his reward.

"What is that thing that can make Taoist Zhang so happy?" Shen Hao had already walked to Xiao Qiu and asked in a low voice.

Fangfang answered this question, "Five-section green wood ointment is a very precious medicinal fragrance. It is said that applying a little on the person's philtrum before practicing Cunxiang is very helpful for practice."

Zhang Lingsheng possesses Taoist roots, but he has been stagnant after passing through the most basic level of Qiqiao. As a disciple of Pangshan, this is his biggest shame and heartache. Of course, he is grateful to be able to get the five-section green wood ointment.

Zhang Lingsheng felt that he had given too little in return. He turned his eyes to the young man from Yelin Town at the foot of the steps and scolded: "I felt something was wrong the first time I saw you. It turns out that you are a group of little robbers and you have actually done something like robbing someone in danger." Things like other people’s property. Tell me, how were you so ungrateful after Daoyou Xin took the risk to defeat the snake demon and saved your lives?”

The forest and the place where humans gather are two completely different worlds. The identity of the prince is worthless in the former place, but it is priceless in the latter place.

The heads of the young men at the bottom of the steps were lowered, and no one dared to say a word. The disappearance of Yelin Town had a huge impact on them, and they had no intention of resisting in the face of the adults' rebuke.

Xiaoqiu on the other side of the yard was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. This Xin Youtao was timid and cowardly. As an officer, he abandoned his subordinates and fled. In the end, he also took away the only oil lamp that could fight against demons. Now he turned right and wrong through Zhang Lingsheng. At the moment One step would reveal the true face of this prince.

Shen Hao held Xiaoqiu's arm tightly. He had beaten Xin Youtao severely in the forest, but now he had no courage at all. "Forget it, we can't fight."

Shen Hao looked depressed and had no fighting spirit. His so-called "not being able to compete" had nothing to do with eloquence, but money. Just three days ago, he was the richest kid in the building and had many followers. Now he and Prince Xin Youtao In comparison, they were in the sky and on the earth. Seeing his best friend Mu Feihuang running to the bottom of the steps to plead guilty, Shen Hao completely gave in.

Xiaoqiu forced herself to hold back, and warned herself in her heart that this was not Yelin Village, and it would be better to cause less trouble.

The children had already moved their bags and bags into the yard. Xin Youtao deliberately said in a tired voice: "One piece for each person, and leave the rest there for those who come after you."

The children started grabbing like crazy, and many people couldn't wait to open their bags. They were full of clothes, gold and silver, and other things. Although there were no treasures like five-section green wood balm, it was enough to make poor children from remote areas extremely satisfied and grateful.

Xin Youtao lowered his eyelids and glanced at the five Yelin Town teenagers at the foot of the steps, "If you are willing to plead guilty, you are worthy of my forgiveness. Now go get the gift."

Daliang Shen Xiuming, fool Mu Feihuang and others were relieved. Instead of choosing gifts like other children, they took one nearby and held it in their arms, not daring to open it immediately.

Xin Youtao almost won the first battle when he first arrived at the library, except for the last step: there were still four children from Yelin Town standing in the distance, not bowing to him.

This is not okay.

Xin Youtao looked up, his childish face full of majesty looking down on all living beings.

The role of gifts is not just to win people's hearts. Starting from Zhang Lingsheng, everyone in the yard knew that it was time to give something in return. Even the simplest children, under the guidance of their friends, put down their bags in their hands and walked along. Looking at the benefactor's eyes.

Xiaoqiu, Fangfang, Shen Hao and Erliang Shen Xiuwei became the targets of public criticism. They were invisible and silent arrows, but their lethality was not reduced at all.

Daliang Shen Xiuming kept winking at his younger brother. Shen Xiuwei was slightly panicked. The pressure brought by dozens of looks was beyond what a teenage boy could bear. He took a step, but turned his head and glanced at the little boy. Autumn, back to the original place.

Shen Hao didn't have much choice. He knew that he was the person that Prince Xin Youtao hated the most. He had to pay several times the price of others before he could be forgiven. He was the second young master of the Shen family. He had never done anything like nodding and bowing since he was a child, so he stood up. He didn't move there and glanced at Xiaoqiu, feeling a little calmer.

Fangfang stood behind the boys, lowering her head slightly to avoid other people's eyes, but she did not hesitate. This was not the first time she had been tested in public. At the gate of Shen's house, she had been in the eyes of the whole town. While watching, he took off his hijab and jumped on Xiaoqiu's bay-red horse.

Xin Youtao quickly made adjustments. The person he wanted to take revenge on most was Shen Hao, but he now understood that he must defeat this opponent named Xiaoqiu in order to complete today's victory.

Zhang Lingsheng was very impatient and was about to issue an order as the only adult and manager in the building when Xiao Qiu spoke.

Fortunately, Shen Hao had caught him before, Xiaoqiu had overcome his initial impulse, and now he could use more clever methods to fight back against his opponent. His voice was cheerful and natural, as if he was talking to an old friend reunited after a long separation, "Hey , Hao San’er, I really didn’t expect to see you here again.”
