Chapter 24: The Nun
The ugly lady has been very happy these days, in addition to the face is covered with fine fluff, every time she eats, the oil and water will be stained on it, and when she sleeps with her head covered, she will always itch and giggle, which has caused some small troubles to her life, in general, it is still very good, there is food and drink, and there are lively scenes that have never been seen in the mountains, because every day from Li Daoshi to exchange copper coins for candy people to eat, and I also know a lot of ghosts in the county.
"The ugly girl is here!"
"Ugly, please eat sugar. ”
"Eat sugar, eat sugar. ”
The ugly lady silently walked to the front of the paving, took out dozens of copper plates, exchanged all kinds of sugar people from the hands of the boss, and divided them, in the cheers, a few little ghosts ran together to Hejiafang to play, where it was originally a rich and noble family in the previous dynasty, and then the family road fell in the middle and was deserted, next to it is Wuhou Shop (the patrol point of the Ya Servant), and in the county, the adults are willing to let the children go there to play.
"Ugly girl, why do you always wear a veil," Yang Er said, in recent days, the relationship between the two is the best.
"The Taoist priest said, don't show it," the ugly lady said word by word.
"Let me see. ”
The other party didn't know the severity, and took off her veil, and the ghost-level face was completely exposed, with blue spots and yellow hair, and a stone head, Yang Er's eyes immediately widened, full of horror, and screamed, "Monster, ugly girl is a monster!"
This voice quickly attracted the other children, who gathered around, with fear, fear, excitement, and panic in their eyes, "Fight the monster, kill her!" I don't know who shouted first, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it over, and the other children followed suit, and fell on the ugly girl's face, head, and body.
"No, I'm not a monster," the ugly lady stammered, what she didn't understand was why the partners who were talking and laughing just now were now scolding and beating her, just because she was the so-called 'monster', which she couldn't imagine, her heart was full of panic, dodging and dodging, 'snap', a stone hit her forehead, and blood flowed down the corner of her eye.
"It's bleeding, it's dead!" The little ghosts also panicked when they saw this, and dispersed in a hurry, the ugly girl saw Yang Er who ran away, and just wanted to chase after her, she turned around, her eyes were full of disgust: "Don't follow me, you monster!"
The pain of the body is not on her heart, but the pain of loss in her heart is indescribable, the ugly girl lowered her head, curled her mouth, picked up the face towel that had been trampled into mud, and clenched her hands, she just wanted to return to the Taoist priest now, he would definitely not dislike himself, just turned around, and saw a female nun, moon-white monk's robe, holding Buddhist beads, with no nose and ears on her face, looking weird, but revealing a kindness.
"Poor doll, where are you going?"
"Find a Taoist priest and go home. ”
"It's not easy for you to go back now," the nun took the other party's hand, sat on the steps, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her body, amazingly, the wound just now recovered little by little after she wiped it.
"Your stone doll hasn't grown yet, and you've eaten too much demonic energy, so it's inevitable that people will misunderstand it, why don't you go with the poor nuns, the poor nuns can get rid of your evil roots. ”
"Evil roots?" asked the ugly lady dumbfoundedly.
"It's your appearance, your talent, the natural stone girl is the most beautiful elf in the world, I will restore your original appearance. ”
The ugly lady showed a heartfelt expression, but finally shook her head, "The Taoist priest said that he would go home at night." ”
"Is it a Taoist priest who adopted you?" the nun was surprised: "He didn't feel the demonic aura in your body, hasn't this gang of bull noses always been the most stubborn?"
"I'm going back. ”
Looking at the disappearing back of the ugly girl, the nun pinched her fingers and frowned, "This doll is not over, no matter what, when she grows up, she will know that this world can't accommodate people like her at all, so I'll come back then," Looking at the barren He Jiafang, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Before you know it, three hundred years have passed. ”
And in the quiet room, Taoist Li sat cross-legged, the light on his body flickered brightly and darkly, pinched his fingers, spit out, stored fire gas into the heart, gold gas into the lungs, wood gas into the liver, water gas into the lungs, earth gas into the spleen, with the five organs into five thunder, the body 'boom' sound, the five viscera into five elements, the five elements into five gases, through the operation of the inner five qi condensed into five thunder, drive into the palm, can suppress, extinguish, drive, curse, this is the effect of the "five thunder palms"; Calling for wind and rain, all of them are long-range means, they are really going to be close to the enemy, in addition to the escape technique and the stand-in method, there are very few means to deal with the enemy, these five thunder palms are one of them, and I don't know if it is Li Daoshi's sycophants that have a miraculous effect, and the thunder god has actually passed down this set of rare magic palms.
"It's still not high enough, according to the current progress, I can use Amitabha Buddha once in actual combat," Li Daoist sighed, in the end, spells are not better than charms, the former is more a test of the caster's state of mind and internal practice, which cannot be cheated, and this is precisely his weakness.
There was a knock on the door, and Daoist Li thought it was an ugly girl at first, but it didn't look like it, so he said, 'Come in', but it turned out to be an unexpected guest-Zhou Zhutou.
"Daochang Li, we meet again. ”
The Taoist priest snorted a few times, and he was still haunted by the matter at the city gate, although he was not blackmailed for money, but what did Li Daoye value the most? Of course, it was face! This face was lost a few days ago, and he almost couldn't pick it up.
"Dao Chief, Zhou came here today to serve the meaning of Shangfeng, and ask Your Excellency to do a good deed to serve the country and benefit the people. ”
"Don't do it," Daoist Li said crisply.
"What-" Zhou Zhutou was stunned for a moment, generally speaking, isn't he looking for some excuses, this Taoist priest is refreshing, or really shameless, so he just pushed it away?!
"Dao Chief, this operation is assigned by the government to go to Qingping Township to collect grain, and there is a reward. ”
"Then don't go, Master Dao, I'm not short of money now, and since you came to the door, I guess what demons and monsters you have to deal with, this will definitely not be done, my master said, this year, safety first, safety first." "Daoist Li said lazily, the rich is the uncle, he is rich, so he is the Taoist master.
This guy seems to be a little bit of a bit of oil and salt, Zhou Zhu's head hurts, but he thought of the county order's advice, so he had to use a killer move, "I don't know what the chief plans to do next." ”
"Travel the world, do chivalrous deeds, and save the people. ”
"Ahem," Zhou Zhutou really wanted to spit on Daoist Li's face, he had never seen such a shameless one, "That Dao chief can know that all those who are in cities and large counties must have a public inspection road guide issued by the government to enter and exit, and if they don't, they can't pass."
Daoist Li's eyelids widened, isn't this just a pass, this guy tempts me with this, he thinks that I will be fooled by Daoye, hum! Daoist I won't eat this set yet, the poor can't move, and the rich can't bend.
"No, I don't. ”
"And forty taels of silver. ”
"Forty taels!" Daoist Li swallowed and spit, and his tone suddenly changed: "Killing demons and eliminating demons is something that people in my Dao Sect do, how can they avoid it with safety and misfortune, I will take this job!"
After Zhou Zhutou's explanation, it turned out that Pingchuan County has a government and three townships, this Qingping Township has the best terrain, continuous fertile fields, smooth wind and rain, and has always been the head of the grain tax, but the county government has recently sent three batches of tax collectors, all of which have gone and have not returned, and the grain cannot be collected at all, and I heard the villagers who entered the city say that they have not seen these officials at all, so they have to wonder if there are ghosts on the way, so there is this invitation.
“...... Maybe it may also be the act of robbing the road, so the county also invited the Ge family Sanhao from the famous town of Guanxi, and Wu Laohan, who knows spells, to prepare to take advantage of the large number of people, not only to collect the grain back, but also to figure things out, clean the road, and completely return the peace of the party!"
Daoist Li didn't care about this, but muttered: "After doing it for a long time, it turns out that this silver is not for me alone." ”
