"Blah blah~~~~~" The honor guard passed by the thatched cottage of the old couple He. The old couple He grabbed Uncle Zhang, who was watching the fun from the same village, and said, "Old Zhang, whose family is going to exorcise the evil spirits?"
"The Liu family in the next village..." Uncle Zhang said, his expression became sneaky. When it comes to ghosts and gods, people are sneaky as if instinctively, and they have to cover their mouths when speaking. "Just yesterday, Liu Qiang also went up the mountain. He said that he was harmed by a monster and his intestines were eaten! So the Liu family went to the town early in the morning to invite Li Xiangu to exorcise the evil spirit."
"Ouch!" When the old couple heard that their intestines had been eaten, the hair on their bodies stood up.
Lian glanced at Uncle Zhang leisurely, and the previous expression on her face disappeared completely. Suddenly, she realized something, turned her head away and whispered, "Oh no! We're in trouble!" After that, she immediately caught up with the fairy's ox cart.
When He Shiqi saw Lian Youyou chasing the ox cart, he hurried to follow.
Uncle Zhang said while shaking his head, "Then his second brother Liu Dong went up the mountain to look for him, but he was also frightened by the monster and lost his soul. He will have to call his soul back later. Let's go and watch the fun together." Uncle Zhang invited Mr. He to watch the fun together.
When the common people talked about these things, they were obviously cautious and afraid in their hearts, but they still rushed to watch the fun and even called their friends to go and watch.
After hearing this, the old couple felt a little uneasy and looked in the direction of Lian Youyou involuntarily? Huh?! Where is she?! They saw that there was no one in the place where Lian Youyou was standing before, and even their son was gone.
The two were panicking. Could it be that Lian Youyou was really a monster, and was scared away by the fairy lady? And she took their precious son away to serve as a snack on the way
"Aqi! Aqi!" the old couple screamed in fright.
"Aqi is in front!" Uncle Zhang pointed in the distance. Sure enough, their Aqi was following the ox cart happily, picking up flower petals on the ground and throwing them at the girl in front of him. It was Lian Youyou.
The old couple breathed a sigh of relief, but became nervous again and hurried to follow. They couldn't let that evil spirit Shagu take their precious son away.
The villagers of Pingshan North Village had already lined the road at the entrance of the village to welcome Li Xiangu.
Everyone was afraid that the monster that harmed Liu Qiang would harm themselves, so they came together to welcome the fairy like a pilgrim, as if they could get some of her fairy spirit and they would not be targeted by the monster.
This Fairy Li is quite famous in the Qinzhou capital. It is said that she has the ability to see ghosts and gods.
Of course, people of all kinds have different prices. The price determines the level of the exorcist. The rich hire a group of monks and Taoist priests. Ordinary people hire this Fairy Li.
Li Xiangu has been learning Taoism and exorcism from the previous Xiangu since she was a child. She is now over 40 years old. Once you become a Xiangu, you serve the gods and cannot marry.
The villagers of Beicun heard the sounds of gongs, drums and suonas from afar, and then saw a green ox cart slowly approaching.
The villagers bowed to welcome her respectfully, and Fairy Li sat on the green ox cart and passed among these respectful villagers like a real god descending to the earth.
Lian Youyou looked at the villagers who were bowing respectfully on both sides and laughed secretly. If you don't worship the real gods, you should worship the fake gods. Well, today you will worship me. Thinking of this, she also held her head high, took a step without recognizing any relatives, and swaggered forward.
A handful of flower petals fell from above her head. He Shiqi really cherished her.
She waved to He Shiqi, who immediately came to her side with a bright smile on his face: "Master, what's the matter?"
"Who is Liu Qiang?" Lian Youyou gently brushed off the peach petals on her head.
When He Shiqi heard Liu Qiang's name, he pouted unhappily. The expression on his face was like a little kid being bullied by a big kid. He only said three words: "Liu Qiang, bad!"
Lian Youyou nodded slightly and murmured to herself: "I have to go take a look at her body and see what happened?"
He Shiqi stared at Lian Youyou for a while, then quickly picked up some petals and happily sprinkled them on Lian Youyou's head, his eyes full of smiles. How could his master be so handsome
At this time, Liu Qiang's family had already set up an altar and candlesticks according to the fairy's instructions, as well as three kinds of livestock and six kinds of animals. A rooster was tied to the corner of the table, and a black dog was tied to the side of a tree.
All animals have spirits. The chicken and the dog seemed to have foreseen their own fate and both lay on the ground and cried silently.
In front of the altar is Liu Qiang's body, covered with a white cloth. It is said that corpses harmed by monsters must be exorcised by monks, Taoist priests and nuns before they can be placed in the mourning hall, because corpses harmed by monsters have residual evil spirits that can hurt people and will also attract monsters to harm the whole family again.
There is some truth in what he said, but whether this evil can really be driven away, only evil itself knows.
Liu Dong huddled in the corner of his house, shivering and covered in cold sweat. He didn't respond when anyone called him, as if he had been frightened out of his wits.
"Bilibala~~~~" The suona sounded at the door of Liu Qiang's house, the flower girl scatters the last petals, and the gong and drum team finally stops.
The two flower girls lay down beside the ox cart, and Li Xiangu, who was sitting on the cart, stood up. Immediately, all the villagers who were watching the excitement bowed respectfully and made way.
Li Xiangu slowly opened her eyes, which turned out to be a pair of pale eyes, more like a pair of yin and yang eyes. The villagers were in awe and dared not look up, and the children hid behind the adults in fear.
Li Xiangu stepped on the back of the flower girl lying beside the cart and got off the ox cart. Then, two flower girls stood up and helped Li Xiangu inside.
"Li Xiangu! Save my son, save my son—" Liu Qiang's mother cried and fell in front of Li Xiangu, kneeling and bowing.
Li Xiangu raised her double chin and said solemnly, "Well, the evil spirit is really strong. Have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?"
"Okay, okay." Liu Qiang's father hurried forward, "The rooster is tied to the corner of the table, and the black dog is tied to the tree."
"Okay~~~ Everyone please disperse. I, the fairy, am going to open the altar - perform a ritual -" Fairy Li raised her hands high, and two followers in the guard of honor behind her immediately brought in a large mahogany box.
Lian Youyou poked her head out of Liu Qiang's door, looked at the scene in the yard, and saw Liu Qiang's body at a glance. She frowned and showed a bit of regret on her face: "I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble." She rolled her eyes and quietly entered the yard from behind the flower girl.
Everyone in the yard is busy now, and many people come into the yard to watch religious ceremonies. Not to mention the people crowding into the yard, even the wall of Liu Qiang's house is full of people, just like they are scrambling to occupy the front row to watch a big show. No one will care about Lian Youyou who sneaks in.
When He Shiqi saw Lian slowly slipping in, he hurriedly followed. Halfway through, he heard a humming sound.
"Woo~Woo~~~" He Shiqi looked to the side and saw that it was the big black dog Wangcai!
Although He Shiqi has limited popularity among people because he is stupid, he has great popularity among dogs. (To be continued)
