Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

Once upon a time, there lived a rich man named Wang Gongnan at Henghe Bridge in Hangzhou.

Although this man has great wealth, he is a miser. Stingy by nature, he is known far and wide as a stingy man.

This morning, Wang Gongnan went out and wanted to take a walk by the West Lake.

As soon as I walked out of the gate and walked not far, I met a Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest looked at Wang Gongnan's dress and knew that he was a rich man.

So he came forward, bowed and made a big salute.

Then he asked: "Sir, can you give me a fish?"

Wang Gongnan frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "You are a monk, shouldn't you be a vegetarian? Why do you want me to give you fish and meat? Aren't you breaking the precepts?"

The Taoist priest hurriedly said: "Sir, you misunderstood! This fish is not that fish! The fish I ask for is not for eating, but a wooden fish for knocking!"

The stingy King Gongnan was unwilling to give it.

He said angrily: "Go away, go away! It's really unlucky to meet you for alms so early in the morning!"

The Taoist priest said: "Infinite Heavenly Lord! What you said is wrong! It is fate that you and I met! How can we say it is bad luck?!"

Wang Gongnan also knew that he was a little rude, so he explained: "I don't chant sutras, so how can I give you any wooden fish?"

The Taoist priest said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have wooden fish. It's not worth much. Please give me a few pieces of silver!"

Wang Gongnan was an iron rooster, how could he give away his silver to others for nothing? He flatly refused and said, "I went out for a walk in the morning and I didn't bring any silver with me!"

The Taoist priest said somewhat unhappily: "Sir, if you are stingy now, you will definitely regret it in the future!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

Wang Gongnan didn't take it to heart and continued walking by the West Lake.

That night, Wang Gongnan heard the sound of tiles falling from the roof. He thought it was knocked off by a wild cat, so he didn't get up to check.

When I got up the next morning, I saw fallen tiles everywhere in the yard.

Although he felt strange, he didn't take it seriously.

That night, he felt some strange noises again, but he couldn't tell what they were.

After checking at dawn, I found that the clothes at home were in a mess. Some were thrown into the toilet, and some were thrown into the pig pen.

Only then did Wang Gongnan realize that something was wrong. Thinking back to the strange Taoist priest I met on the road a few days ago, he wanted to beg for a wooden fish, but he didn't give it to him.

Could it be that Taoist priest who is up to something?

Looking at it like this, there must be some evil spirit at home!

He thought of a friend, a scholar named Zhang Youqian.

This Zhang is a devout scholar and proficient in magic. The talismans he draws can drive away ghosts and catch monsters.

Wang Gongnan came to ask for help.

Zhang Xiucai asked about the situation and felt that it was the Taoist priest who caused ghosts to come to the house to cause trouble.

Wang Gongnan asked: "Is there any solution?"

Zhang Xiucai said carelessly: "It's a trivial matter! Buy me a piece of talisman paper and it will be solved immediately!"

Wang Gongnan was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "How much silver does a piece of talisman paper cost?"

Zhang Xiucai explained slowly: "I have two kinds of talisman paper: one is cheap and the other is expensive. It depends on which one you want."

Wang Gongnan asked again: "What's the difference in usage?"

Zhang Xiucai said: "If you stick the cheap kind at home, you can stop ghosts and ghosts from causing trouble sooner or later, but it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. As for the expensive kind, if you stick it at home, you can invite the gods to catch the ghosts and eliminate future troubles once and for all." ! You decide which one you want."

This Wang Gongnan is a miser. He will save whatever he can and will never spend more money.

He thought that even if there was a ghost at home, he could just buy a cheap talisman paper and use it as a defense to block it. Why spend a lot of money on expensive ones to catch ghosts.

If the ghost is blocked by the talisman and cannot enter my house to act as a demon, it may go to someone else's house. Wouldn't my house be peaceful? !

With this in mind, Wang Gongnan naturally bought a cheap piece of talisman paper, took it home, and posted it on the central hall of his home.

Sure enough, the night passed peacefully without any strange occurrences.

Wang Gongnan's family thought that their days would go by peacefully and there would be no more trouble.

Who knew three days later, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

The Wang family opened the door and saw an old Taoist priest. He looks a little strange and speaks in a garrulous manner.

Wang Gongnan happened to be not at home at that time, and his second son Wang Houwen came out to receive the Taoist priest.

After some pleasantries, the old Taoist priest said: "My Taoist name is 'Iron Crown'. I came here uninvited today just to make a bad relationship!"

Queen Wen didn't know what he meant and quickly asked the reason.

Taoist Master Tieguan said: "Did anything strange happen in your house a few days ago?"

Wang Houwen said: "How did the Taoist master know? The humble house was really not peaceful a few days ago, and there were ghosts and monsters!"

Taoist Master Tieguan said: "Your Majesty went out that day and met a Taoist priest, who was my disciple. My disciple failed to seek alms from your Majesty, so he felt resentful and cast a spell to let ghosts come to your house to become demons! I'm here today. , just to help your government solve its worries!"

The Second Young Master Wang quickly thanked him and declined politely: "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your kindness! My family has bought some talisman stickers and put them on them. The ghosts have no more evil spirits. We are now in peace!"

Taoist Master Tieguan didn't care: "Second Young Master, don't be too busy refusing. It's better to ask your father for instructions before making a decision!"

Wang Houwen said: "My father is away from home, so I can't report it for a while!"

Taoist priest Tieguan said: "Then please tell the second young master what I say to your father!"

"Master Taoist, please speak! I will definitely tell you!"

"Pindao's apprentice also has some skills! He casts spells to create monsters. Pasting a piece of talisman paper can't solve the problem!"

"Then what should we do? Please tell me, Taoist Priest!"

"My disciple's spell can be broken by my master! Please tell your father, Second Young Master: If you want my help, please come to me at the Cold Spring Pavilion in the West Lake tomorrow morning!"

This matter is extremely urgent and cannot be delayed! If it is not solved as soon as possible, my disciple will cast a spell again and let the ghosts steal your talismans! The consequences will be disastrous! "

Wang Houwen felt that the matter was of great importance and couldn't help but become nervous: "What if my father goes to Lengquan Pavilion and the Taoist priest is not there?"

Taoist Master Tieguan said: "It doesn't matter! If Pindao is not there, all you have to do is look at the sky and shout Pindao's Dharma name "Tieguan" three times, and Pindao will appear automatically!"

The Second Young Master Wang expressed his gratitude again and again.

Taoist Master Tieguan said nothing more, Shi Shiran said goodbye and left.

In the evening, after Wang Gongnan returned home, Wang Houwen told him about Taoist Master Tieguan.

Wang Gongnan felt strange, how could Taoist Master Tieguan know so clearly?

Thinking that what Taoist Master Tieguan said had indeed happened, he couldn't help but not believe it.

So, no matter what, Wang Gongnan went to meet Taoist Master Tieguan first.

The next morning, just before dawn, Wang Gongnan came to Lengquan Pavilion by the West Lake.

Seeing that there was no one in the pavilion, he followed what Taoist Master Tieguan said and shouted three times to the sky: "Tieguan!"

No one shows up!

He shouted three more times in a louder voice!

Still no one showed up!

He refused to give up and shouted "Iron Crown" hundreds of times to the sky!

Still no movement...
