Speechlessly looking at this old man who was the same age as my grandfather, I couldn't say that Xiao Zhang.
Old man Zhang could see it clearly, and said directly: "Master, what can I tell Xiao Zhang."
I couldn't complain, so I could only describe the toad on Zheng Chen's shoulder, and then asked, "Have you ever seen this kind of toad?"
Old man Zhang seemed to have some knowledge, nodded and asked, "May I ask Master, does that toad only have three legs?"
I thought about it, and it seemed that I didn't notice how many feet this toad had.
"Does how many feet matter?"
Old man Zhang nodded: "Yes, if it has four legs, then it is just an ordinary evil spirit. If it has three legs, it will be troublesome."
I looked curiously at this old man who had been my teacher, and said, "You still know a lot. If it has three legs, what's the trouble?"
Old man Zhang said awkwardly: "I don't know, the book I picked up last time only wrote this, and the back was torn off."
As he said that, the old man Zhang took out a tattered book from his arms, it was not so much a book as it was a few pages, maybe even the pages were lifted, not a single page was complete.
I took a look, and it was just a brief introduction, which seemed to be some expert's essay.
"only these?"
"Well, I only picked up these, and I haven't found the rest after searching for a long time."
I nodded, and didn't bother with this question any more, and told old man Zhang that I would go and see the toad's feet, and then I left.
I bought some fruits at the canteen of the hospital, and I went directly to the inpatient department. Zhou Yan and Zheng Chen were both there, but the two of them seemed to be still angry, and they both tilted their heads and ignored each other.
"Sister Zhou, who are you?" I asked innocently.
Zhou Yan saw that my eyes lit up, and I was about to speak, but I stopped him with my eyes. Zheng Chen stood up shyly to greet me when he saw a guest.
I passed the fruit, pretending to be concerned, but looked at Zheng Chen's shoulder, but that damned toad was lying on its stomach all the time, and I couldn't see its feet at all.
Zheng Chen felt uncomfortable when I saw him, so he patted his shoulder and said, "Is there anything dirty on me?"
I really wanted to tell him yes, but I held back, and when Zheng Chen patted his shoulder, I could see clearly that the toad moved a bit, it was with three legs, the troublesome one that old man Zhang said.
After chatting for a few words, I left directly. Just as I was about to leave the inpatient department, I saw old man Zhang walking back and forth there, as if the excitement hadn't faded away.
I hurriedly turned around and left from another exit. Anyway, old man Zhang didn't know much about evil gods now. Besides, I was really under pressure to accept such an old apprentice.
Back at the hotel, I compiled the situation I encountered into a text message and sent it to Huang Xiaolong and my mother. There was no way, Goddess Yan didn't have a mobile phone.
And the reply came quickly.
The message my mother sent was very long. Among the many concerns, I only summed up one sentence, you have to exercise yourself.
But Huang Xiaolong's message is very short, just two words: work hard.
I hate it so much, but I can't do anything about it. Now it seems that I can only rely on myself.
I made a few talisman papers to strengthen the soul, and after thinking about it for a while, I drew an exorcism talisman, evil god, there is an evil character, maybe the exorcism talisman will be useful.
Go to the hospital again and give the talisman to Zhou Yan. No matter what, save the child's life first. As for the solution, there will always be a solution.
After going to the hospital, I gave the talisman paper to Zhou Yan while Zheng Chen was away. After explaining how to use it, I went back to the hotel and began to study the evil god. After all, my mother loves me. Although she didn't show her help, she sent me a book about evil spirits by courier.
It is said that it is still the treasure of Goddess Yan.
In the book, I quickly found information about the toad.
The three-legged golden toad is the creature in the Moon Palace in ancient legends, and later generations called the Moon Palace the Toad Palace.
However, golden toad likes clean water, that is to say, if a three-legged golden toad stays in the evil spirit place for too long, and the evil spirit land still has a strong desire for money.
The golden toad will become an evil god, bringing evil wealth to those who are willing to sacrifice, and the sacrifices are people who are blood related to the sacrificer.
Well, I understand, but it seems that there is no way to deal with Jin Chan. Besides, comparing the things in the book with what I know, it seems that it has no effect.
And my question still hasn't been answered. The words "willing to sacrifice" have already fully explained that Zheng Chen should have sacrificed voluntarily, which is also in line with most of my understanding of evil gods.
But judging by Zheng Chen's appearance, he doesn't look like someone who offered to sacrifice his own child, so what's the problem
Should I chat with Zheng Chen and have a showdown with him, so as to learn about the situation of sacrificing evil gods? It is also written in the book that evil gods are easily expelled if they are not sacrificed willingly.
Just as I was thinking, there was a polite knock on the door of the room, and I froze for a moment. I really couldn't imagine who would come to this hotel to find me.
Walking over and opening the door, there was a white-haired old man standing outside the door, looking at me respectfully: "Master."
I supported my forehead and walked back to the room without a word, while old man Lin followed step by step into the room.
Before I could speak, old man Lin took out a rag from somewhere and began to clean up, which made the corners of my eyes twitch.
"Well, old...cough, there is no need to clean it, the waiter will come to clean it every day."
"If there is something to do, the disciple will do his best."
Well, I simply lay on the bed and watched TV. I have nothing to say to this stubborn old man.
After thinking about it for a while, I pointed to the book on the table: "Read it carefully when you're done, let's discuss it."
Old man Zhang blushed with excitement, making me worry that he might die suddenly.
The cleaning action suddenly accelerated: "Yes, master, the apprentice must take a good look and pass the master's assessment."
I suddenly felt a headache. Where did the assessment come from? How can people feel that they are living in their own world when they are old.
Old man Zhang finished cleaning, picked up the book with both hands and carefully flipped through it, his face full of excitement.
I was bored watching TV, I don't know when old man Zhang finished watching, and he was standing respectfully beside my bed.
"Hey, it's over."
Old man Zhang nodded.
I turned off the TV and asked, "Tell me what you think."
"Hmm, um. Tuer thinks we should find out why the three-legged golden toad appeared first." Old man Zhang glanced at me secretly, as if he was afraid that he might be wrong: "Although Zheng Chen's people are stubborn, they seem to be Not superstitious, this disciple thinks that the three-legged golden toad may not be enshrined by him, if not, it will be easy to drive away."
"Well, what if he enshrined it?" To be honest, a capable old man respected me so much, and I was still a little secretly happy.
Old man Zhang frowned and thought for a while, "Then we can separate Zheng Chen from his family first. The Three-legged Golden Toad won't be able to absorb the enshrined anger, so it is very likely that he will leave by himself. We can even negotiate with the Three-legged Golden Toad. According to the book, this kind of evil has its own intelligence."
Old man Zhang may not be very familiar with Taoism and the like, and the proposals he put forward are all from the perspective of ordinary people, but in principle, there is nothing wrong with it, and it is exactly what I intend.
I was about to speak when my phone rang, it was a text message from Zhou Yan.
"The talisman was discovered by Zheng Chen."
