The copper coin sword went straight to Jiang Li!
Everyone exclaimed, before he had time to react, Mrs. Jiang almost fainted.
However, Jiang Li stood steadily, the tip of the sword stopped at the tip of her nose. Although the copper coin sword was not as sharp as the saber, she was not moved by the sudden change of the story. Still smiling, without a trace of panic on his face.
Daoist Chongxu's eyes were startled. Before coming, he already knew a lot about Miss Jiang Er. In the verification field, the horse was shocked, but still compared riding and shooting. It can be seen that this woman has a tough heart and is not as easy to deal with as an ordinary Miss Jiaojiao. But today's things are different from riding and shooting. Even if Jiang Li is not scared to make Huarong pale, she should be surprised.
But she didn't.
The girl's back was straight, like a tree that hadn't grown, slender and weak, but with a fierce and stormy determination that could not be shaken.
She even followed Daochang Chongxu's gaze and nodded to Daochang Chongxu.
In an instant, Daochang Chongxu’s back was suddenly full of coolness. Although today is to arrange an evil reputation for Miss Jiang Er, but at this moment, Daochang Chongxu couldn’t help but feel confused. He even really thought that maybe Jiang The second lady is really evil. She is calm and unlike ordinary people.
Jiang Yuanbai finally reacted, frowning, and said: "Dao Master, what does this mean?"
The copper coin sword was still floating, and the tip of the sword pointed to Jiang Li and did not move. Jiang Youyao covered her mouth and whispered: "This sword is pointed at the second sister, could it be... Could it be that the second sister is an evil evildoer?!"
"Shut up!" Mrs. Jiang scowled: "You Yao, how can you slander your sister's reputation!"
Aggrieved Jiang Youyao hid behind Ji Shuran, and Ji Shuran patted her hand comfortingly. Lu looked at Ji Shuran's mother and daughter like this, wondering in his heart, Ji Shuran's mother and daughter looked at Jiang Li not pleasing to their eyes, and they were bound to deal with Jiang Li. But today, the Taoist Chongxu was found by the emperor's order, and the movement in the yard was really weird. There was no wind bell, and there was no wind bell, and the sword stood up and pointed at Jiang Li. Lu's eyes were a bit taboo.
seeing is believing. If one only listens to the name of the Taoist Chongxu, naturally others will not fully believe that the Taoist Chongxu can really drive away evil spirits. But after he did a list of things, everyone couldn't help but feel that this Chongxu Master's ability was not all boasting.
Chongxu Daochang stretched out his hand, and the copper coin sword flew back into his hand with a "swish" as if it had eyes. It's like having life, not a dead thing. The people around were silent, and Taoist Chongxu said to Jiang Yuanbo: "Master Jiang... this..."
Jiang Yuanbai said: "The Daoist has something to say, but it doesn't matter."
"It didn't have to be that simple to get rid of evil spirits. But because the evil things lurking in your house have not yet been generated, it is very easy to distinguish. That is..." He looked at Jiang Li, with a little hesitation and hesitation in his eyes. This gaze fell in the eyes of other people in the yard, and immediately understood what was going on.
"Dao Master, what do you mean by this?" Mrs. Jiang asked.
"This lady in the house is the host of the evil." Dao Chang Chongxu looked at Jiang Li.
Now, all the servants in the yard looked at Jiang Li. Jiang Li could tell that there were fear and disgust in those eyes, and some who avoided it like the plague.
Although I had already greeted Tong'er in advance, she slandered Jiang Li as soon as she heard this old way of speaking. Tong'er couldn't help but defend: "Nonsense! How could our girl be related to evil? You are obviously spitting!"
"Tong'er." Jiang Li shook her head, and apologized to Mrs. Jiang again: "My maid is eager to protect the Lord, and I hope the old lady will not blame it."
"It's okay." Mrs. Jiang said.
Looking at it, Ji Shuran frowned invisible. When is this, Jiang Li was pointed at her nose to say evil, she actually still has a maid who is thinking about herself. I really thought she could get away safely. Isn't it a small matter
Jiang Jingrui ignored Lu's warning eyes and said, "Jiang Li is evil? Dao Chief, are you right? Jiang Li from our house lived in the nunnery of Qingcheng Mountain for eight years before. It was in the nunnery. A pure place, how can a pure place give birth to evil things?"
Lu Shi quickly slapped Jiang Jingrui.
Jiang Yuanping thought for a while, and said, "Yes, Dao Chief, my niece is also very gentle and quiet on weekdays, not like any evil things."
Jiang Li was surprised that the second uncle of the smiling tiger would speak for her, but after another thought, there was some monster in her house, and the Jiang family's reputation was not good.
Jiang Yuanping at least spoke for her, but Jiang Yuanxing and Yang from Sanfang didn't say a word from beginning to end. Jiang Yuyan was even more unlikely to take the initiative to speak on this occasion. I always feel that Jiang Yuanxing has become more reticent since Jiang Yu'e's incident happened. And Yang looked over here, even a little gloating.
The three rooms and the big room and the second room are completely eccentric.
I was thinking of this, but I heard the voice of Taoist Chongxu: "This young master only knows one thing and does not know the other. It is not that filth cannot be born in the pure land of Buddhism. On the contrary, many people fall into the empty door, and the six roots are not clean. , On the contrary, it is easy to trigger a heart demon. At this moment, evil spirits enter the void and let the stranger be their host. However, there are evil spirits in Buddhism, and they do not dare to come out and do evil. It is nothing more than hiding in the host's body and waiting for an opportunity. After Buddhism and coming to the market, evil spirits can grow indefinitely. Since this young lady has stayed in the temple before, she is now returning to her home. This is probably the reason."
Jiang Jingrui still didn't believe it: "You've said the good and the bad, and you have the final say. What does it matter whether we believe it or not?"
"Poverty is not a mouthful. It is caused by evil. The most likely manifestation is a big change in temperament, which is different. As the saying goes, a person's temperament does not change drastically overnight. It is a change in temperament and past habits. The essence and essence will remain the same as before. Does this young lady have a radical change in her temperament, which is very different from before?"
As soon as he said this, the people in the yard were silent again.
Didn't Jiang Li change his temperament after returning home from Qingcheng Mountain? Think about the former Jiang Li. Before he was sent to Qingcheng Mountain, he was fierce and arrogant, but he was a temperament who would write all emotions on his face and love to cry. Time passed quickly, and Jiang Li came back, but everyone in the house who knew her couldn't see through.
She is calm, gentle, and always smiles softly, but no one knows what she is thinking. She doesn't cry anymore, she doesn't even have the emotions of "fear" or "grief". No matter what happened, she just smiled.
As if he didn't care at all.
"Yes..." In the silence, Ji Shuran's voice rang, and she said: "After Li'er returned to the mansion, she is indeed very different from before. Her temperament has become more stable than before, but she is not like a fifteen-year-old. Young girl. Youyao is about the same age as her, like a small child... She used to like meat and mutton soup made in the kitchen, but now she feels sick when she smells mutton, and loves vegetables more than mutton. … Everything is different… ”
Are you eager to convict her? Jiang Li looked at Ji Shuran coldly, deciding how different she was from Miss Jiang Er. Without saying a word, the doubts on the faces of the people in the yard increased by one point. Yes, she is not the real Miss Jiang Er, and she has no similarities with Miss Jiang Er in terms of growth process or temperament preferences. Therefore, Ji Shuran can easily find their differences. In this way, they don't seem to overlap at all. They are simply two people.
Mrs. Jiang and Yuanbo Jiang must have these suspicions, but they don't remember as clearly as Ji Shuran, and when Ji Shuran said it at this time, it was nothing more than to make everyone believe in Chongxu's long words.
In a way, Ji Shuran also knew some truth.
Jiang Li didn't reply or argue. When Ji Shuran finished talking, she looked at Jiang Yuanbai worriedly: "In this way, Li'er is indeed very different from before...Master, I'm not suspecting that Li'er is really evil. But everything is wrong. It's for Li'er, for the Jiang family's sake. If Li'er... Li'er really becomes the host of Lao Shizi's evil, Daoist Master must be able to drive the evil out. By then, won't Li'er be all right?"
Jiang Li said, "Mother."
Ji Shuran looked at her, there were even some tears in her eyes, and she seemed to be a kind mother who really cared for her. But he was also cautious, as if he was afraid of being touched by evil things. Regarding the act of acting, Jiang Li also admired Ji Shuran in his own heart. He always felt that Ji Shuran's appearance should be one of the best actors in Yanjing City in Ji Heng's eyes.
"Mother is kind, no matter whether Jiang Li is really evil or not, she still has the skill to speak to Jiang Li."
Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Yuanbo. Jiang Yuanbo stared at the strange daughter and said, "Say it."
"The Taoist chief is right. People's temperament and preferences cannot change drastically overnight. However, I left home to go to the temple, not overnight, not a day or two days, not a month and two months, but eight years. "
"Eight years, I can't call it short." She smiled and looked at Dao Chang Chongxu.
Meeting the girl's soft eyes, Chong Xudao was very surprised, but he nodded and said, "It's been a long time."
"For a long time, many things have changed. My mother said that I was about the same age as my third sister, but my temperaments were very different. Not to mention that there are differences between people. As innocent as the third sister, it’s too harsh for me.” The smile on the corner of her lips was the same as before, “Ms. Liu came to Qingcheng Mountain to worship Buddha and met me by chance. I wonder if you have paid attention to her words. When I was, I was kneeling in the ancestral hall without dripping water all day and night."
"For me, this is the normal state of life. I don't have enough to eat or wear warmth. It is even more accustomed. Under such circumstances, please forgive Jiang Li for incompetence. It is really difficult to be naive."
When these words were said, both Mrs. Jiang and Yuanbo Jiang's faces were dull. What kind of life Jiang Li spent in the nunnery back then, although they have never sent anyone to inquire about it, they also know that the life in the nunnery must be very bitter. It's just that the fact that Ji Shuran had a miscarriage due to Jiang Li's miscarriage at that time was irritating, and she ignored her intentionally or unintentionally.
Now, in front of the entire Jiang Mansion, the old things are brought up again. Although Jiang Li didn't use the accusing tone, she slapped Lao Jiang and Jiang Yuanbo on the faces like a slap.
"Let’s talk about the habit. When I was young, I really liked to eat meat, like sleeping on soft beds, and even the clothes and fabrics like bright colors and delicate stitches. But I have been in the nunnery for many years, where did the lamb soup and the quilts come from? There is only one bed. Cotton is sewn on in winter, and cotton is taken out in summer. My mother may not know that the cotton is about to be tossed and only the scum is left. The human environment is like this, as usual. Habits, I'm afraid Jiang Li couldn't stay, and he would have been crazy. So to change the habit, just to survive. Not to mention the bright clothes, there are extra robes in the temple, they are all good and bad. "
"I just want to struggle to live, but the third younger sister is different. The third younger sister does not lack anything in the house, so she can naturally develop a temperament that does not lack anything. I am polished by life. If I don't want to compromise, I will grow up earlier... I really don't know if I have a life left, I'm back to see my father."
What she said calmly, but with blood and tears. There was a trace of unbearable on Lu's face, which had always been pungent, and he didn't know what Jiang Yuanbai was thinking. Even if Jiang Li was at fault, it was his own flesh and blood. If Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou made a mistake, she would severely punish them, but she would not be like Jiang Yuanbai.
Jiang Yuanbo's face was ashamed, angry, suffocated and confused, avoiding Jiang Li's eyes.
However, Ji Shuran spitted fiercely in her heart. She was really a clever little bitch. He was so dead that he had to churn twice. No wonder it was difficult to deal with. No wonder she had ordered people to grind ginger pears in Qingcheng Mountain, but she still allowed this little hoof to survive!
Taoist Chongxu felt faintly disturbed. For so many years, he has been bluffing and deceiving, even the emperor dared to lie, in addition to his deceptive tricks, but also because he sees people accurately. As long as you grasp the weakness of each person's character and strike at it, many things will become easy.
But this Miss Jiang Er, he learned of her deeds before entering the mansion, and in the short period of time after entering the mansion, he couldn't see Jiang Li's character weakness. Even at this time, she didn't panic at all, and she was justified, and she said bluntly what could convince others.
Regardless of whether she can persuade or not, but with this mindset, it's already tricky.
Jiang Youyao said, "Even though the second sister is talking about it, but... the second sister on Qingcheng Mountain is no worse than the young ladies who grew up in Yanjing City. In terms of verification, didn't the second sister still get the first prize of six arts?"
Six Arts? Ji Shuran moved in her heart and said hesitantly: "But that's the case. Li Er didn't like to read when she was a child. I didn't expect that after eight years in the nunnery, she would become a talented woman after she came back. Then I asked someone to find out that there were no horses in the nunnery. , There is no Changqin, but Li'er can learn by himself without a teacher, which is really amazing."
Jiang Yuanbai looked at Jiang Li, which was also his suspicion. Although Jiang Li had an explanation at the time, and Jiang Yuanbai believed it, but he didn't know if it was out of psychology. Later, he sent someone to inquire about Qingcheng Mountain. The result of the inquiry was exactly the same as Ji Shuran said at the moment.
How can Jiang Li be so smart? There are geniuses in this world, but geniuses can't need guidance. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. If there is nothing, how can it be done
"Also," Ji Shuran said anxiously: "Li'er went back to Xiangyang, and came back with Cheng Xue Huaiyuan from Tongxiang County. Even though Li'er had justice in mind and acted bravely for righteousness, she was very concerned about Xue Huaiyuan. I used to be with Xue Huaiyuan. Huaiyuan is not half connected, so why do you care about outsiders so much? Could it be that you are really fascinated by evil so that you can do such incomprehensible things?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yuanbai's eyes suddenly became severe. This is also Jiang Yuanbai's heart disease, it is a stone in his heart. Jiang Li is more filial to Xue Huaiyuan than to his father, and Jiang Yuanbai has long been suffocated. If Xue Huaiyuan were now a lunatic with no sense, Jiang Yuanbo really wanted to figure out what was going on
But Jiang Li couldn't tell, she couldn't tell.
So in the eyes of everyone, it was her poor skills and acquiescence to the fact that she was surrounded by evil.
"In fact, who wants to toss the child like this," Ji Shuran said again: "It's just that if there is something wrong with Li'er, it will hurt the Jiang family in the future, hurt the family up and down, and the juniors... it's not a good thing."
Mrs. Jiang was also a little moved when she heard of harm to the Jiang family. She asked Dao Chief Chongxu: "From the perspective of Dao Chief, how can I get rid of evil spirits? If I drive away evil spirits for my granddaughter, will it hurt her?"
Although he cares about Jiang Li, Jiang Li shook his head in his heart, feeling sympathy for Miss Jiang Er. You know, once you acquiesce in what Jiang Li has to do with the evil spirits, that is, you acquiesce in the next road that Ji Shuran has designed for Jiang Li, the end of this road is naturally not a good place to go. But for the Jiang family, Mrs. Jiang did not fight for her reason, did not believe her to the end.
If it is really Miss Jiang Er, she must be sad.
"No." Chongxu said: "It's just that after the exorcism, the second lady has to stay in the Buddhist monastery for a period of time, and no outsiders. Although the evil is not visible right now, after the exorcism, the second lady will produce Some leftover diseases, such as weak body, need to be taken care of."
Jiang Li knows, go to Buddhism? Did she repeat the scene of going to Qingcheng Mountain many years ago? The body is weak, so that in Buddhism will become thinner day by day, and in the end will be severely ill and die silently? Have a great excuse? Jiang Li believes that Ji Shuran will reveal this matter as soon as she left. At that time, she didn't have to go back to Yanjing City, she would only die silently on Qingcheng Mountain.
In order to conceal the truth of the matter, the Jiang family would make up a reason at will. For example, she died of illness. Her life was like Ye Zhenzhen, or her own previous life, died unclearly.
Because Ji Shuran knew that he could not attack himself in Yanjing City, and ordinary charges would not cause Jiang Yuanbai to kill him. To drive oneself out of the house in the name of exorcising evil spirits, it is the easiest way to start.
I think it's very safe.
"Second girl," Mrs. Jiang asked, "Since there is nothing serious, you should let Dao Master Chongxu do you away from evil, right?"
Jiang Li nodded, turned to Jiang Yuanbo, and asked, "Does my father agree?"
Jiang Yuanbo stared at Jiang Li. He didn't trust Chongxu Daoist at all, but Jiang Li's strangeness was totally unreasonable. He did feel that Jiang Li had become a stranger, and even the meager blood connection seemed to be gone now.
He cruelly said, "It doesn't hurt you, just go."
"Okay." Jiang Li nodded, as if there was no dissatisfaction with Jiang Yuanbai's decision, but the moment he lowered his head, Jiang Yuanbai seemed to see the disappointment in her eyes. For a while, Jiang Yuanbo felt regret. Whether he regretted agreeing to Chongxu Daochang to exorcise Jiang Li from evil is a wrong thing.
Jiang Li said, "Chong Xu Daoist, please."
She rebelled against the guest, and did not face the fear of the unknown at all. Instead, she calmly seemed to go to a banquet, making Chongxu Daochang also stunned.
Chongxu said, "Second Miss, please."
Jiang Li was about to go to the other side. Tong'er couldn't help but stretched out his hand to grab the corner of her clothes. Jiang Li looked back, and Tong'er reluctantly let go of her hand again, with tears in her eyes.
She is always worried.
Taoist Chongxu led Jiang Li to between the square pillars with stretched threads, and let Jiang Li hold a bell in his hand. He walked in front of the Taoist platform, Tao Tong offered the prepared live chicken, Chongxu Tao's long sword cut open the chicken's neck, a ray of blood splashed out.
"Ah!" The little maids in the yard turned around and covered their eyes in fright. At this moment, the darker fog became thicker, and it was almost at night, and it was miserable.
Ji Shuran couldn't help but pulled Jiang Youyao to her side and stood back. Although she knew it was fake, the ghostly appearance in the yard at the moment really made her a little hairy.
Lu Shi had stood behind her two sons a long time ago. She looked pungent, but in fact, she was the most timid and believed in ghosts and gods. She believed in the words of Taoist Chongxu.
The Yangs and Jiang Yuanxing in Sanfang were suspicious. Jiang Yuyan had already turned their backs in fright and no longer looked at them.
In the crowd, Auntie Hu stood in an inconspicuous position, staring straight at Jiang Li.
From the beginning to the present, Jiang Li has always been passive. This made Aunt Hu also feel uncertain. She bet all the treasures on Jiang Li. Although Jiang Li told her about her plan, Aunt Hu still felt that it was a bit risky, and it was too difficult to deceive people in front of others.
But Jiang Li was very sure, and Aunt Hu couldn't help it. She can't get revenge on her own. In order to cooperate with Jiang Li to perform this play well, she also made up her mind. The greatest price has to be paid, if Jiang Li fails... If... At this moment, her eyes crossed Jiang Li in the air.
Under the black mist, the girl's eyes were bright and gentle, with unquestionable firmness.
In an instant, Auntie Hu calmed down.
Not yet impatient, not yet...
Chongxu is long in practice.
From the eyes of others, his behavior is unpredictable and superhuman. Over the years, he has also been very proficient in these things. In fact, there are no ghosts in the world? Some are just ghosts in people's hearts.
He just used the ghost in people's heart to bludgeon and deceive for so many years and has not been discovered. His master, the real Chongxu Taoist, is a real master, but what has he gained in his lifetime? Only he can truly bring out the meaning of the name "Chongxu Dao Chang".
Thinking of this, Taoist Chongxu couldn't help feeling a little proud. Whenever he was "practising", when he looked at those dignitaries whom everyone would look up to, he believed in himself, looked at himself with hope, and hoped that he would give them the last straw. Xu Daochang is very proud. He can play these people between applause, this is his ability.
But today's girl is the person he has ever met and has to be treated with care.
She seemed to have no demon, standing calmly, facing her own behavior, even with a hint of interest, which made Taoist Chongxu feel insulted. Maybe Jiang Li is a person who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, so he can be so calm.
Jiang Li saw a flash of annoyance from Chongxu Daochang.
This kind of person, being praised too high, forgets his original position. Speaking of it, she actually believes in ghosts and gods. She is a person who has truly died once. After she died, she became Miss Jiang Er. Isn't this just what ghosts and gods mean? But she was sure that Daoist Chongxu had never seen this layer.
Dao Chongxu wiped the chicken blood on the peach wood sword, the yellow talisman paper on all sides was in his scripture, and it stood upright with one stroke, surrounding Jiang Li!
This scene is already very weird.
And the Taoist man with the fairy wind and Dao bones, fingers peach wood sword, suddenly burst out, stabbed in front of Jiang Li!
The wooden sword didn't pierce the body, but stopped at the point where it was pointed in front of the body, but Chongxu Daochang's body shook, as if the void had pierced something, making a sound of gold and stone collision.
The chicken that had been bled, suddenly cried.
The people in the yard were so scared that they knelt into a ball. This time, even Jiang Yuanbai believed a little bit in his heart.
Dao Chongxu didn't know what he was holding in his hand, and he shouted again: "The evildoer comes out!" With his hand raised, a large group of glutinous rice mixed with unknown things was spilled.
Among the glutinous rice, there seemed to be something else, Jiang Li subconsciously closed her mouth and nose, and took a step back.
But immediately, her nose and mouth began to bleed.
She gave a cold heart, this is Chongxu's trick!
To behave like evil, naturally look like an evil, there is no knowing what kind of powder is mixed in this glutinous rice, which makes her describe it as horrible. It might still make her delirious, but because she closed her nose and mouth, she didn't inhale it, so she didn't know what to do.
In the miserable night, Jiang Li was dressed in plain clothes, with white face and black hair, bleeding from his ears, nose and mouth, describing a ghost. Immediately, people in the yard scrambled.
Jiang Youyao screamed "Ghost!" The Jiang family took a step back in fright.
Taoist Chongxu was proud of his heart, and wanted to see the girl's panicked eyes.
At first glance, he was stunned.
Under the dim candlelight, Jiang Li smiled brightly at him.
But the appearance is not cute, but terrible.
Jiang Li sneered. The evil spirit is naturally evil, but it is not the evil spirit they thought. This evil spirit could kill Ji Shuran!
In the yard, there was a burst of crying from a girl.
Huge, as if echoing in everyone's ears.
