Chapter 7: The Big Worm
"The magic pen is the most spiritual, and the two Qi are combined. The gods and me, the great immortal guard. Cure all diseases, and make me immortal. With a sweep of the pen, the people are at peace. Haste as a law. ”
With the blessing of the pen mantra chanted, the Taoist priest opened his eyes, covered his sleeves, and put down the pen, starting from the demon charm, the fire crow charm, the opening talisman, the Liuding Liujia seal talisman, and the golden light talisman, one by one, and a stack of cut paper was piled up next to it, the paper was a good rice paper, the ink was pine smoke ink, and the pen walked between the dragon and snake, at least eight of the ten talismans were formed, and the light flashed, and it was dim again.
Talismans must be made of yellow table paper or cinnabar paper, because only these two pieces of paper can reach the heavens, and the rice paper can only be made into a talisman, can not be left in shape, so even if it is a talisman, it is also a piece of waste paper, no 'god of no talisman', but this thing is the best choice for practicing the pen, because the consumption of yin and yang is less, so yesterday Li Daoshi bought a large stack, which is specially used for exercise.
As a result, nearly two hundred runes were drawn, and there were one hundred and fifty ways, compared to the level of rookies when they first crossed, there is no doubt that the progress is rapid, and the kung fu of the pen is secondary, as long as this thing is practiced carefully, it can always be practiced, and more importantly, the Tao line and the seal, the former is the strength, the latter is the background, the Qingcheng faction is also registered in the heavenly court, and the law seal is not something that any school can have, as he improves his skills, the greater the role he plays, so the Taoist priest can officially announce that he can finally upgrade from the 'fledgling' to ' It's a little bit done.
"In just one year, even if it is the counterparts of the three major factions today, it is not necessarily as fast as the Taoist master, this is the level," Li Daoshi was arrogant, then rubbed his waist, grinned his teeth, and when he was doing the evening class yesterday, he also practiced the "Volcano Stove Ding" handed down by the old Taoist of the fire dragon, this exercise is different from any method he has ever come into contact with, and it is actually the ability to practice the body.
"Heaven and earth are furnaces, creation is work, yin and yang are copper, and flesh is furnaces", this is the opening outline of this method, according to the above description, this method from shallow to deep, can warm muscles, fill the skin, pass through the blood, strengthen the muscles and bones, In this way, in order to achieve the conditions for the final cultivation of the three flavors of true fire, this sounds good, even if you can't practice, you can also use it as adding points to your physique, but the problem is that the Taoist priest practiced for half a night yesterday, and he only felt a sore back and neck, a fever all over his body, and a hot brain, as if he had a kidney loss, and the old man was not there, and he didn't know whether he practiced or not, so the Taoist priest was very entangled.
"Forget it, it's useless to think too much, let's practice first, it doesn't make sense that you can practice without a donkey, isn't your own family still as good as a beast?"
Li Daoshi thought secretly, as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw a black shadow turning out from the edge of the window, leaving several cobwebs in the place where he was just now.
Flies and tigers, spiders and aliens, are liked by demonic spirits, and live in groups - "Divine Ghost Hide"
This thing should belong to the half-demon and half-creature at best, not much lethality, according to legend in the Tang Dynasty court, every Qiqiao Festival, the palace maids sacrifice to the stars and beggars, they will use small boxes to catch this spider, close it overnight, and finally speculate on the marriage of the coming year through the shape and complexity of the woven spider web, which is a custom at that time, Yang Guifei once played.
But this creature doesn't usually like to live in dark, damp corners, and not emerge in broad daylight as it does now, and it must be the oddity of the house.
The Taoist priest is not blind, he naturally sees this, but first, there are thousands of demons in the world, not every one of them is meat-eating, and he does not engage in racial discrimination, as long as the demons and monsters don't come to cause trouble, he can turn a blind eye;
After having breakfast with the ugly girl, I sent this little lady to read a book, and went out to continue to explore the market, but as Miao Sansi said, this year, the fortune teller has been rotten on the street, if you don't play something new, you can't make anything at all, and it's not so simple to be famous, I thought of a few, but it's not reliable, for example, this summer is too early, it's just March, it's already the sun, The red sun is scorching, and the government has already recruited people to open the altar to pray for rain, if it can attract heavy rain, then this reputation can explode in an instant, but the Taoist priest does not have this way, and the second does not have this charm, according to the old man, if you want to pray for rain and summon the wind, at least it must be the level of most of the three souls and seven spirits, and the gap with him is still quite large.
Or I heard that there is a white dragon in Luoshui near Luodu, if it can be beheaded, its fame will inevitably rise, if Wei Zheng Lao'er had not beheaded the Dragon King of Jinghe, his fame would not be so wide in later generations, and the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion will not be known to future generations He and the two who watched the gate are not known to future generations;
There are also a few ideas that are like this, either the difficulty is too great, or the opponent's background is too thick, and no copy of the prestige is better, and it is really difficult to make money in the first pot of gold, the Taoist priest sighed a little, or else, really go out with Miao Sansi to work? This idea was abandoned only in the turn of his mind, and he was really unwilling to lower his own value until he had to do so, and he had no future at all; just thinking like this, he slipped to the Vermilion Bird Avenue unconsciously, and suddenly there was movement in front of him, I don't know who shouted, "The big worm is coming-"
Restaurants, restaurants, preserved fruits, tailor shops, fish shops, and butcher shops on both sides of the street closed their doors one after another, and passers-by were all scurrying, "Hide, the big worm has been released!"
"In ancient times, there were also chengguan?" the Taoist priest wondered, hesitated, ran to a corner, after a while, out of a blue-faced man, dressed in prison clothes, a face of horizontal meat, face like a ghost, like a bear, step by step, crab-like walking, passing by a butcher shop, raised the vinegar bowl big fist, smashed the window with a fist, and said to the trembling boss: "Your leopard master is newly released from prison, borrow you two catties of meat to play," and then ripped off a large piece of pork leg, resisted on the shoulder, licked the oil with the palm of his hand, and his face was full of hideousness.
"I'm rubbing, the ancient gangsters are so arrogant?" Daoist Li wondered, didn't they all say that there were as many powerful people as dogs in Luodu, and the officials were all over the place, looking at this posture, no one could clean him up?
Scattered footsteps sounded, and a dozen or so catchers rushed out from the side of the street, and the leader was still an acquaintance, making it difficult for his own city gate official.
"Green leopard, just got out of prison, don't make trouble!"
The big man touched the black stick, which seemed to be messy, did not retreat but advanced, not afraid of counter-attack, and scooped up the city gate official, and shouted: "But you are telling Lao Tzu, which point is causing trouble? I can't tell why, be careful that your grandfather will break a few bones of you." ”
This guy is really powerful, a man of more than two hundred pounds, he raised it with one hand effortlessly, and the city gate official was even more red, and there was a tendency to turn blue; fortunately, he was not fighting alone, and a dozen or so peers next to him finally saved him.
"Brother Leopard is angry, we were also ordered by the commander and had to come. ”
"Yes, yes, with the prestige of the green leopard, how could he make a move to bully and dominate the market. ”
"Brother Leopard deserves to be the first man in our Luodu, no, no, the first class man in Jiangnan!"
The Taoist priest is even more strange, only the people have always been afraid of the officials, when did the officials become afraid of the people, even if they are real people in the rivers and lakes, when they meet the fast officials who are ordered to arrest, they only have the share of holding their heads and running around, and they have been beaten, but they will have an accident as soon as they are beaten, and the crime of attacking the officials is not small.
The city gate official bent down and coughed for a long time, the moment he was pinched by the neck, his mind was completely blank, how could he take on such an unlucky task again, alas, it is really a problem that costs people's lives! ”
"Zongren's Mansion is a birdball, if your grandfather is willing, do you really think those few pieces of broken copper and iron can stop it?" The ugly man snorted, and this thick phlegm hit the other party's trouser legs.
The city gate official took a deep breath, held back his anger and said: "The government test is imminent, my lord specially asked me to remind you, don't make a scene at this pass, otherwise it will be a catastrophe, even if you are resistant to fighting, the guillotine falls, can you still grow an iron neck?"
"Hey, threaten Lao Tzu," the ugly man shook his head, showing a disapproving expression, and suddenly said, "Why don't we make a bet, if your grandfather loses, at the juncture of this nerd exam, let's make sure that the door is not out of the door, like an unmarried girl." ”
"What if we lose?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"Just bet on your monthly salary this month, three taels or two taels. ”
"What's the gambling method?"
"If you play dice and play pai gow, that's grandpa bullying you, just play the simplest, compare hands, grandpa out of a shoulder, you can go up a few people, as long as you can beat me, then even if you win, how? You fifteen people, you will not be afraid of grandpa one. ”
Li Daoist suddenly I was stunned, I have seen arrogant, I have never seen such arrogance, he has been with the top Jianghu people, even if it is a hemp camel, a half-immortal old man, and a horse old man, these top martial arts masters, in terms of strength alone, it is only about seven or eight hundred catties, and it can only be a thousand catties, and this is the result of the development of human potential to the limit, but even these characters dare not say that they will be able to fight under the combined force of more than a dozen, which is not about skills at all, just playing brute force.
However, the scene in front of him opened the eyes of the Taoist priest, the other party's horse-like arm squeezed out nine flesh bumps, Schwarzenegger couldn't compare, and the dozen or so fast catchers in front of him pushed, pulled, pulled, pulled, and used their strength to eat, but the other party didn't move at all, probably because he had been teased for a long time, and smiled hideously: "Lie down!"
The fishy wind suddenly rose, and these catchers suddenly fell to the ground like a gourd rolling on the ground, and fifteen strong men couldn't hold this fierce man, is this guy the reincarnation of a heavenly court? The Taoist priest swallowed and spit, and suddenly saw the back of this guy, which seemed to have a large tattoo.
"It's fifteen today, grandpa has something, I'm impatient to talk nonsense with you guys, get out!"
Looking at the back of this guy in the distance, the Taoist priest's eyes blinked, and he suddenly came up with an idea.
"What, do you want to ask that Zhu Leopard to do a show at the entrance of the vegetable market tomorrow?" Miao Sansi was dumbfounded after hearing this idea.
"Well, not only that, I want you to spread the news to all the restaurants, inns, brothels, and storefronts in the city, the bigger the noise, the better, don't let you work in vain, how about the start-up capital of three taels of silver?"
"No, senior brother, you don't know how powerful this guy is, the red-headed stick of the yamen has broken four of them, and the vermilion leopard has nothing to do. ”
"The skin is rough and the meat is thick, and the strength is infinite, don't worry, Dao Ye, I am the best at dealing with this kind of meat shield opponent," Li Daoshi was full of confidence.
"But not only that, I heard the blind man Wu in the store next door say that the vermilion leopard has magical powers, he has seen this guy buy some incense and chyle every New Year's Day, and once when he delivered to the door, he even saw his wife actually burning incense and bowing down to him. ”
Daoist Li touched his chin and sighed: "I just guessed what the other party was, so I deliberately looked for trouble, this is the best candidate for prestige, but I still don't understand something, this guy is just a green skin on the street after all, if the government really wants to do it, how can it not clean him up." ”
"Don't forget, the other party's surname is Zhu. ”
Li Daoshi suddenly, "Oh, the surname of the country," it just so happens that the emperor Lao'er is also surnamed Zhu, but this dynasty has also been inherited for nearly two hundred years, there are not hundreds of thousands of people surnamed Zhu, there are hundreds of thousands, even the royal family can't afford to raise so many idlers, and the rest of the Zhu surnames are left to their own devices, but with this layer of skin, the government does not dare to do the black, Chang'an has a Zongren Mansion, and there is also a Zongren Mansion here.
"Don't worry, we never fight uncertain battles, but just in case, you tell me first, where does that guy usually eat, and what are his personal hobbies......"
At the same time, Zhu Leopard sat on a small stool with his upper body exposed, and his wife, Bai, was wiping her back with chyle, and surprisingly, this chyle seemed to slowly penetrate into the flesh, as if swallowed by the idol on his back.
"Shangxiang," Zhu Leopard said with a calm face, his wife Bai glanced at him in fear, lit three sticks of incense, and kowtowed three heads respectfully, and the statue of the god with blue mouth and white teeth and high hair and huge hands in front of him was even more lifelike, not at all like a tattoo.
"Lao Tzu is a god!"
