Chapter 108: Calling for help (Part 2)
Perhaps it was because the night in the countryside was very quiet, and winter had just passed, everything had just recovered, and no beasts, insects and ants made noises. The sounds of educated youth gathering together to chat were particularly loud. Even though the old farmer and ninth aunt were far away, they could still hear the sounds of talking in the house clearly.
"It seems that this matter cannot be hidden. You should think more about how to explain it!" After hearing the content of the educated youth, the ninth aunt said to the old farmer.
The old farmer looked a little ugly. He didn't expect that even the educated youth went to the countryside would be affected. If the incident was written into a letter and reported by these educated youth, then no matter how much he explained it, he would inevitably be labeled as a certain propaganda of superstitious thoughts. Although he was extremely nervous about it, on the surface he seemed to be confident and said, "They were just talking casually and did not take this matter seriously."
Aunt Ninth looked at the old farmer and didn't say anything more. She had already reminded her that it was nothing to do with whether the old farmer would accept her advice.
"This is where that person lives." After bypassing two adobe houses that had not yet been built on the roof, the two came to the house where Xu Changqing was. The old farmer stopped at the door and whispered to Aunt Ninth.
Aunt Ninth did not respond, but directly lifted the curtain in front of her, revealing her terrifying face and snake-shaped eyes. She followed her back and forth at the door, her eyes always looked at the room, and her brows gradually frowned, as if she had seen something that made her confused.
"Call the door!" Aunt Ninth did not say what she was thinking, but signaled to the old farmer.
Upon hearing this, the old farmer stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door that was still wet. The sound was slightly loud and he said politely: "Did Comrade Xu sleep? I am the village chief Chen Guixin! I have something to ask you for so late. Please open the door, okay?"
After screaming twice, he heard footsteps coming from the house. As the door was slowly pulled open by the people inside, Xu Changqing appeared inside.
There was no light in the room, and the old farmer could only see Xu Changqing's blurry face with the slightly faint moonlight outside. Although he had seen Xu Changqing's appearance during the day and there was a ninth aunt next to him with an ugly face, at night, especially in this cold and quiet environment, when he saw Xu Changqing's completely burnt face, the old farmer still shivered involuntarily.
Compared to the old farmer's attention on Xu Changqing's face, the ninth aunt's eyes were more about looking at Xu Changqing's entire person. Although the spells she practiced at that time destroyed her face and her eyes, they also brought her some magical power, such as she could see the anger emitted by a person. With this ability, even if she did not use spells such as swearing, exorcism, etc., she could still be prosperous in front of nobles.
With decades of accumulation of experience in people's eyes, the ninth aunt can easily see the other party's recent situation and the misfortunes and blessings they will encounter based on the anger seen in her eyes. And she can also see the strength of some of the fellows with these eyes. However, Xu Changqing, who appears in her eyes, is different from anyone she has seen for decades. Because there is no angriness that a living person should have in Xu Changqing.
"Zombie!" Thinking of what happened on the mountain, a monster that had almost disappeared after the founding of the People's Republic of China immediately appeared in the mind of Aunt Ninth's mind, but then she shook her head and denied her guess. Because even a zombie should have corpse energy on her body, this is a breath of complete thoughts and anger. Aunt Ninth's snake eyes can also see this breath. And now the person in front of her was not angry at all, just like a rock, and she had no sense of existence even when she stood in front of her.
"Magudao Gu Honggu, a disciple of Queqiao Ridge, has seen fellow Taoist fellow Taoist." Although the ninth aunt could not see through the details of the person in front of her, she could already be sure that the person in front of her must be an extraordinary fellow Taoist, so she pinched the seals and saluted Xu Changqing in the way she walked in the world back then.
In order to avoid being influenced by humanitarian power, Xu Changqing's spiritual thoughts were always restrained and rarely released. Before opening the door, he could judge that there were two people outside the door through the breathing sound he heard, but he never thought that the old farmer, as the village chief, would actually bring him a fruitful and remaining fellow practitioner.
After a little stunned, Xu Changqing quickly returned to normal, and then his eyes fell on Aunt Ninth's face and eyes. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Who is Gu Jing'an?"
The ninth aunt was slightly stunned, with a thoughtful look on her face, and replied, "That is the aunt who is here and the master."
"Is she still alive?" Xu Changqing asked in a deep voice.
Although Aunt Ninth still looked confused and suspicious, her tone became respectful and she replied: "I passed away more than thirty years ago."
"Have you left?" Xu Changqing sighed slightly.
Magu Dao is also considered the authentic Xuanmen. Its source comes from the Kundao line of Shangqing School, and it is widely circulated among the people. It is precisely because of this that after the Song Dynasty, Magu Dao mixed all kinds of methods of left and left, forming hundreds of branches, and gradually transformed from the authentic Xuanmen to one of the left and left paths of left and right paths of left and right paths of left and right paths of left and right paths of left and right paths of left and right paths of left and right paths of left and right paths of left and right. Queqiao Ridge is only more than 300 miles away from Chen Jiachong. This line of Magu Dao is slightly more authentic than other branches, and it is also practiced as Taoist Xuanmen Dharma. When Xu Changqing was still the owner of Yizhuang Manor, he had some friendship with Gu Jing'an, the descendant of Queqiao Ridge at that time. When the Chen family held a waterway ceremony, he would also invite him, which was considered an old friend with a good relationship.
The reason why Xu Changqing was able to easily reveal the inheritance of the Ninth Aunt Ninth was not only because her surname was Gu, but the more important thing was that the appearance of Ninth Aunt Ninth after she became possessed was related to a Magu Dao heretic magic that Xu Changqing knew. As far as he knew, after practicing this magic, no matter how outstanding his appearance was before, he would eventually grow a pair of snake-like eyes and a look of crane hair and chicken skin.
"Two, come in!" Xu Changqing felt a little bit, then turned around and walked back into the house.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Ninth and the old farmer also followed in. After entering the house, the old farmer took out a match and lit the oil lamp on the table. Aunt Ninth turned around and gently brought the door, then asked Xu Changqing with a slightly excited and nervous look: "Is you Mr. Xu from the Yizhuang?"
Xu Changqing did not answer, but stared at the cloth bag around Aunt Ninth's waist. All the things contained in it were the things that Aunt Ninth wanted to use when casting the spell tonight, and the peach wood talisman and the red-line talisman were also included.
"Can you show me?" Even though Xu Changqing did not release his spiritual thoughts, his sensitive six senses could still easily feel the things in the Ninth Aunt's package at close range, so he raised his hand and pointed to the package and asked.
Aunt Ninth was stunned for a moment, then took off the cloth bag on her body and handed it to Xu Changqing.
After taking the package, Xu Changqing only took out the peach wood talisman seal and the red-line talisman from it, put it in his hand and played with it for a while, feeling the special talisman from the Nine-Rank Line. Just now, Xu Changqing felt the magic power of the talisman on Aunt Ninth. In addition, there was also the spiritual energy of the peach wood talisman seal from the big peach tree. Although it was weak, it was well preserved.
It is not difficult to judge from the magic power and breath of the talisman and the peach wood talisman seal respectively. The talisman is fine, it is just an ordinary amulet, while the peach wood talisman seal is a bit special. This peach wood talisman seal is printed with the branches of other peach trees around the big peach tree. Although the material is far from comparable to that of the big peach tree, it is also a rare spiritual material in the world. This kind of spiritual material is most suitable for refining peach wood magic swords. Now making it into a peach wood talisman seal cannot exert the effect of this spiritual material. It can be seen that this should be a sudden practice work that Huangshan had a sudden idea when practicing. Although there are many flaws, it is also a good magic weapon. Although this magic weapon is a Huangshan practice, it is not valuable if it is a good friend. What's more, it is probably impossible to obtain it if it is not a friend with a good relationship.
"Did you buy this thing from Huangshan?" Xu Changqing asked with the peach wood talisman seal.
"No," Aunt Ninth replied immediately: "The two treasures were given by Mr. Huangshan and Mr. Zheng Xuan."
Xu Changqing had already expected this, nodded, put the talisman seal and talisman back into the cloth bag, handed it back to Aunt Ninth, and said, "The thing is good, keep it well. Every morning, burn incense to worship in the morning sun, which can keep the effect of these two things for a long time."
"Thank you, sir." Although Xu Changqing had never admitted her identity from beginning to end, Aunt Ninth had completely believed that even if the person who had been burned all over his body was not the real owner of the Yi Manor, Xu Changqing, was probably a senior master with extremely high cultivation, so his tone when talking to her became much lower.
Xu Changqing turned his sentence back to the point and asked, "It should be a problem for you to come to me so late?"
"It's true." Seeing that Aunt Ninth was so respectful, the old farmer who had not yet figured out the situation also lowered his posture, lowered his head slightly, and said, "I would like to ask Mr. to take action to save the people of Taohua Township."
"How do you say this?" Xu Changqing frowned and asked.
Then, Aunt Jiu and the old farmer complemented each other and said what happened on Taohua Mountain. Aunt Jiu even showed her arm to Xu Changqing, which was not only evidence of what they said, but also mixed with a hint of expectation, hoping that Xu Changqing could have a way to restore this almost ruined arm.
