Taoyuan

He kept kicking his feet and trying to kick people, and even the noise became clearer and more powerful.

"What are they arguing about?" Yu Tao was confused and asked Chu Qiuming next to him.

Withdrawing his attention from Yu Tao's hands, Chu Qiuming pulled him a little further away, and explained in a low voice: "It should be that the old man on the west side wants to take advantage of the one on the east side...for example, to get some extra goods for himself. What's the size, I was blocked by the east side and scolded my face, and if I can't get off the stage, I will make a big fuss."

"That's why the person on the west side is wrong." After a pause, Yu Tao glanced at many faces, and asked again, "In this case, why do people around seem to favor the person who did the wrong thing?"

As far as the situation of the two of them is concerned, the people on the east side were beaten badly, not only the corners of their eyes were bleeding, but their ribs also had a lot of problems.

"Ha, this." Chu Qiuming chuckled a few times, "I guess those young people who separated from the two sides belonged to the same village as these two fighting old men."

"Look at the face of the one in the east, ah, the face can't be seen now. In short, he has a much better life than other people in the village, but he seems to be stubborn and unwilling to help others. Other people in the village looked at him. This person is jealous, so naturally he doesn't like him."

"The priest said it well."

A familiar voice broke into the conversation between the two from behind, Yu Tao turned around to look, and saw a slightly sick scholar looking at him with a smile, followed by two young men in green clothes.

Turning around and saluting, Yu Tao said hesitantly, "Jia..."

"You can just call me uncle, nephew, are you also here to catch this caravan?" Jia Zhen asked with concern as he waved his hand to help Yu Tao up with a smile.

After thinking about it, Yu Tao nodded: "Hou Bai is at the stall over there."

"Your buddy is not bad." Jia Zhen looked at the messy crowd and said, "Last time I left in a hurry and didn't remember to say that if you have any problems in your tavern, you can come to me and send a message to the county government office .”

"Is this priest your guest or your friend?"

"Guest, I've been staying in the hotel recently." Unaccustomed to Jia Zhen's loving attitude towards him, Yu Tao took a few steps back and spoke concisely.

Seeing this, Chu Qiuming sized up Jia Zhen secretly, and bowed his hands: "Chu Qiuming, the poor man, is now staying at Yudian's tavern."

Chu, Qiu, Ming?

After saying the familiar name several times, Jia Zhen had no time to care about the sense of loss in his heart because of the alienation of Yu Qing's adopted son. He clapped his hands and suddenly felt happy: "I have admired the name of the Taoist priest for a long time, but I don't want the Taoist priest To actually come to my Pingyuan County from Fushan County and settle down with my nephew Yu Xian, I really don’t know Mount Tai. When I go back and report to the county magistrate, he will definitely come to welcome the Taoist priest.”

"...Your Excellency is serious." Startled by the admiration of this scholar surnamed Jia, Chu Qiuming subconsciously put on a clean and dignified expression dedicated to soliciting business, and tried hard to recall what he was doing. What did Fushan County do to become famous all over the world?

The author has something to say: Ah... is it because I have been wearing makeup for the past few days, so many small pimples appear on my face TAT

Is it bad to fight and scold people?

☆, door-to-door business

When Hou Bai was satisfied with the big bags and small bags and came back to look for someone, he saw Yu Tao and Chu Qiuming standing in a secluded place with Jiao Jiao, both looking as if they were wandering away.

"Uncle Hou." The little snake demon showed that he was bored. When he saw Hou Bai's figure, he jumped up from the ground with a cheer, and ran to his side to help him get things.

After complimenting her a few words, Hou Bai cleared his throat to wake up the two who hadn't noticed the movement on their side: "The shopkeeper? Daoist Chu? Why are you so engrossed in your thoughts?"

"I've bought this thing too, why don't I go back?"

"It's nothing, just met Jia Zhen just now... It's that sick and fat man who came to the tavern once more than two months ago, a member of Jia's county magistrate." Seeing that Hou Bai hadn't remembered at all, Yu Tao described it to him After a while, "He invited us to his house as guests, as if he wanted to find Chu Qiuming for something."

"Oh?" Hou Bai raised his eyebrows, thinking of the two skills that Taoist priest had shown, he didn't think it was too much of a surprise, "Chu Taoist priest, what do you mean?"

After carefully thinking about Jia Wenshi's words and deeds and his past experience in Fushan County, Chu Qiuming still didn't understand how he knew about himself.Hearing Hou Bai's question at this time, he simply stopped looking for trouble: "Mr. Jia's kindness is hard to turn down, and it's a good thing to have a treat. It just so happens that I don't have to rush back to the tavern hungry."

The West District of Nanyuan County is the area where the rich and powerful in the county live together. Although there are also many places showing signs of decline during the disaster year, they are still much better than other places, and Jia's house is located in one of the most popular areas. The place.

The paint on the slightly closed door peeled off, and Chu Qiuming knocked several times before he heard someone coming inside.

"Who are you? What are you here for?" The servant woman, half of her body leaning out from the door, was dressed as a servant, with a broom in her hand, looking impatiently and vigilantly at the few people.

Chu Qiuming smiled at her: "We met Mr. Jia Zhenjia from the mansion. We met by chance on the road, and he was the one who invited us to your mansion."

Hearing this, the servant woman who was indeed ordered by her second master moved slightly, she was a little respectful, and her eyes wandered in front of the two young people: "You are the Taoist priest invited by the second master? Then this one should be Yu Master?"

Um?Master Yu?

Yu Tao, who heard this address for the first time, froze for a moment, and didn't know whether to nod or shake his head: "My name is Yu Tao, and I am here with Daoist Chu this time."

"That's right, please wait a little longer, I will report to the second master." With a smile on her face, the servant woman bent towards them and quickly disappeared behind the door.

After only waiting for a moment, Jia Zhen's familiar voice and coughing sound came from far to near, and a few greetings in every aspect led several people to pass through the front yard and enter the hall.

If Daoist Chu Xiaodao, Yu Tao and his party can follow his invitation and come to the door after finishing their business, then it will be a bit more certain that what he asks for will be granted.While talking with Chu Qiuming with a smile on his face, Jia Zhen took the time to get someone to urge the cook to make more lunch meals for the distinguished guests.

Hearing a few words of Jia Zhen's instructions to the boy intermittently, and seeing that he really didn't seem to be looking for trouble for him, Chu Qiuming secretly heaved a sigh of relief, shook his sleeves and asked seriously: "Thanks to Mr. Jia's kindness, Wait, Xiaodao thinks that he is ignorant and ignorant, so he is really afraid. May I ask where did you know the name of Xiaodao?"

"Why, doesn't the priest know?" Surprised in his heart, Jia Zhen asked subconsciously, and saw the handsome Taoist staring back at him blankly.

"...It was my negligence. Since the Taoist priest is an outsider who devotes himself to cultivating the Tao and helping the world, he naturally doesn't care about some false fame." Stretching out his hand, he clasped his forehead, and explained, "The Chi family of Fushan County, Taoist priest Remember?"

of course I remember.Thanks to this family, he had to go through a period of hiding everywhere, and finally fled to Pingyuan County alone.

Seeing him nodding, Jia Zhen coughed a few times and continued: "That's it, Daoist, the deeds of you cured the hysterical brother and sister in the Chi family have already been spread to the surrounding counties by the Chi family."

"It's unfortunate that the Chi family has grown up in a group of juniors. These two people are also frequently hysterical and insane like ghosts; but they are lucky enough to meet Daoist Chu. The Taoism is magical and the willows are dark. Save the blood."

So that's how they passed it on?It's a fleeting misfortune for a wandering Taoist priest to insert his foot into the private mud of Chi's beach for no reason.

Hearing Jia Zhen's words of gratitude from the Chi family members to him, Chu Qiuming was not only not moved, but also wanted to sneer in his heart.

Could it be that Mr. Jia wants to ask him to treat someone else's hysteria?

Sure enough, after admiring Chu Qiuming indiscriminately, Jia Zhen changed the subject and mentioned that he had a close friend who also suffered from hysteria. friend.

"I met Taoist Priest Chu in the county today. It was really an unexpected joy. I am worried about my friends, cough cough...cough, although I met Taoist Priest by chance, I had no choice but to be cheeky and beg the Taoist Priest to take care of him." two."

Speaking of excitement, Jia Zhen's face turned red, and he couldn't stop coughing again.

Lifting the pot to add some tea to his half-empty teacup, Chu Qiuming pulled the little abacus in his heart and asked: "Mr. Hysteria?"

"Yes, it was hysteria about half a year ago, and it came about once every ten days. When it happened, it was like a ghost."

"Well……"

It sounds like a situation where he can get started, and the profit is not small, not bad.

Pretending to ponder for a while, Chu Qiuming looked up at Jia Zhen: "Does Pindao know who has this disease? Pindao is not suitable for long-distance travel these days, if..."

"The Taoist priest doesn't need to worry about this!" Hearing the meaning of Chu Qiuming's words, Jia Zhen was overjoyed, and immediately blurted out, "The one who needs to be diagnosed and treated by the Taoist priest is Mr. Jiang Yujian, the eldest son of the county magistrate Jiang. The Shoufu is not far from our Nanyuan County, and it only takes two days to get there by borrowing the carriage at home!"

Chu Qiuming was taken aback, and smiled consolingly: "Since that's the case, Mr. Jia, don't worry. I bought a lot of things in the county this time, and it's very annoying. Treat me with Brother Yu and Uncle Hou. After returning to the tavern and settling down, how about going to the county mansion with you to treat Mr. Jiang?"

The author has something to say: what happened today...why the number of clicks more than doubled...

However, the collection still dies happily... Has Jinjiang smoked...?

Hahaha I'm so useless

No matter, be happy~

☆, came to the county

There were five people and a pile of goods squeezed into a small carriage, and they would bump into each other if they moved a little, and the air was so stuffy that it made people dizzy.

When he drove all the way to his tavern and stopped, the first thing Yu Tao did when he jumped out of the car was to move his hands and feet and relax.

The sky is getting dark and the fields are empty, and the lanterns under the eaves of the tavern are dimmed because the owner has not returned, making the whole house look much older.

"Go and help others move their things inside." With the help of the coachman, he stepped off the carriage and fell to the ground. Jia Zhen motioned to him the bartender who was picking up groceries from the carriage on the other side, and walked towards him. The two who were lighting lanterns in the distance walked away.

"This lantern is bright, is it newly made? It looks similar to the previous one."

"Well, they were all made by Hou Bai in the same mold." Yu Tao responded, while hanging a big bright orange ball under the eaves, "It's getting late, you are sleeping in a tavern Travel overnight or overnight?"

"This... I'm anxious. Naturally, I hope we can reach the county mansion as soon as possible." Jia Zhen sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, "But it's not my original intention to make Daoist Chu work so hard."

"Mr. Jia is serious?" He snorted secretly, and Chu Qiuming smiled very leniently and understandingly, "Since there are people who are in distress waiting for us, it would be good if they could arrive a moment earlier. It's nothing."

"On behalf of Mr. Jiang, I would like to thank the Taoist priest for his understanding!"

After paying a deep salute to Taoist Master Chu, Jia Zhen looked at Yu Tao again with a sincere expression, "Nephew Yu Xian, you might as well go to the county mansion with us."

"I still have a bit of a face in the county mansion. If you come with me this time, you can get to know more people... Don't rush to refuse, although I don't know how you support the tavern in the current corrupt world. But it must not be an easy task. If you take this opportunity to make friends with the nobles in the county, no matter what happens in the future, it will be beneficial and harmless."

Is there another way?

Yu Tao had never learned this from passing on memory and the old man's teachings, but Jia Zhen's earnest caring feelings did not seem to be adulterated.He hesitated for a while, then looked up at Chu Qiuming inquiringly, and saw him silently nodding in affirmation.

Being caressed and transformed into form, inheriting the cause and effect of people's wishes.To carry forward this tavern handed down by old man Yu's ancestors and open it for thousands of years is not only the karma inherited by Yu Tao from the old man, but also the last wish he wants to fulfill for him.What Jia Zhen said was beneficial to the tavern, and with the approval of Chu Qiuming, who was well-informed, trustworthy and reliable in his mind, Yu Tao immediately changed his mind about "going to the county mansion in a carriage" Attitude, readily respond.

"Uncle Hou, are there just the two of us left in the tavern?"

"Yes, but the store owner and the Taoist priest will be back in about ten days and a half months." Hou Bai, who was standing in front of the tavern and watching the carriage go away, heard the dazed softness of the little girl next to him. Asking, lovingly wanting to reach out and touch her little hair, but saw her cheering and bouncing a few times the next moment after getting the answer——

"It's great, I finally don't have to stay under their noses!"

The official road made of rammed yellow mud has not been properly repaired for a long time. Although it can still be used for pedestrians, vehicles and horses to travel on it, there are potholes and even places where most of them have collapsed.

If you walk with your feet, maybe you won’t feel anything, but when you’re sitting in the carriage and driving on the road... Anyway, after a few days of violent bumps, Yu Tao can’t help but recall his experience in the long years when he hadn’t transformed into a human body past earthquakes.

Jia Zhen's popularity and affection in the county mansion are probably really good.From outside the city to the county mansion, every time he was stopped at the pass, as long as he showed his face in the car window and said a few words, he would be let by the guards.

All the way to the gate of the county mansion where there are guards guarding the gate with stone lions, but the Zhu gate is closed tightly.

Through the half-opened car window, Yu Tao could see rich and powerful families on both sides of the street that were completely different from those in the villages and counties, and he could see the driver who drove them jumped out of the carriage and chatted with the soldiers in a low voice.

In just a cup of tea, a handyman came out from the side door of the county mansion, came to the carriage and softly called "Mr. Jia".

"Everyone get out of the car." Bracing himself up and nodding to the person coming, Jia Zhen said softly.

The coachman of Jia's family had to drive the carriage around to the backyard for a rest, Chu Qiuming took out a dust whisk from the corner of the carriage and ignored it, Yu Tao had no choice but to help Jia Zhen step off the carriage, and helped Jia Zhen walk into the side door of the county mansion, Walk through a long corridor and enter a yard.

"I'm finally looking forward to Mr.... Why does Mr. look so bad? Is the old disease recurring or tired from running around again and again? Come, prepare all the washing things..."

The young man in brocade clothes and jade belt in the main room seemed to be waiting for him specially, and he looked very respectful to Jia Zhen. When he saw him, he smiled and stepped forward to help him, showing great concern.

Delighted to hand him over, Yu Tao nodded towards the young man, entrusted Jia Zhen, who was exhausted after the trip, into his hands, and sat aside to listen to their conversation quietly.

Before Yu Tao could take a sip of tea, Chu Qiuming, who had been silent all the way with his eyes slightly closed, suddenly called him: "Master Yu."

"Huh?" Hearing his solemn voice, Yu Tao subconsciously tilted his head to look at him, meeting his surprised and suspicious expression.

After a moment's pause, Chu Qiuming looked at Yu Tao and frowned, shook his whisk to signal him to look to the east outside the courtyard, and deliberately lowered his voice a little: "Shop, do you still remember when Xiaodao first came to the tavern, the gourd contained Brat?"

"...Of course I remember." I was deeply impressed.

Thinking of something for a while, Yu Tao carefully probed that place a few times before he felt relieved: "Why are you bringing up that disgusting thing? I didn't notice anything similar in this mansion."

He originally wanted to explain Chu Qiuming's inexplicable hint, but he never thought that Chu Qiuming seemed to be more surprised than him. Wouldn't it be discovered by the monster in the form of mahogany... Could it be that human anger blocks the ghost's yin energy?"

Although the voice was deliberately lowered, Chu Qiuming's voice was still very clear in the room, and Jia Zhen and the young man sitting at the top could also hear it clearly.

As if a gong was sounding, the two people were almost startled by his words, and the young man suddenly got up and walked up to Chu Qiuming with an even more excited expression: "This, uh, Taoist priest, what do you think?" Is it true!?"

Yu Tao moved his nose and looked at him with interest.

The author has something to say: Encountered some unhappy things, Huo Da

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ah, there was a quarrel and the communication was successful√

My good friend didn't turn his back on me, and I don't have eyes lame... Although I'm about to turn over, I still have bumps, but let's be happy

The teachers who arrange classes in the Academic Affairs Office are all big SBs! !

All the collections are good girls~! In the rest of December, I will try my best to update daily!

☆, practice medicine and ask medicine

The fine and elegant bamboo curtains block the darkness of the interior.

With the help of the weak light, Chu Qiuming could barely see the decadent and gloomy face of the man who was firmly tied up on the big carved bed, and his heart sank.

"How is father doing today? Is it over now?" Sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at his father, Jiang Cheng frowned and asked the servant woman who was waiting by the side with his hands tied.

"Back to the young master, the master started to get sick this time last night, and then fell asleep for two hours, and got sick again this morning, and then rested until now. In terms of food, since last night until now, he has only eaten half a bowl Rice porridge."

Nodding silently, Jiang Chengsong looked expectantly at the young Daoist priest who was specially invited by his father's subordinates: "Master Chu, my father has been suffering from hysteria for more than half a year. He is in poor shape, and the number of attacks has become even more frequent recently, I'm afraid... as a son of man in the lower body, this is really heartbreaking, and I have invited many doctors to come for treatment, but they all said that my father's illness can't be cured."

"I heard that the Taoist priest once cured a similar illness for the Chi family in Fushan County. If I can use a wonderful hand to relieve my father's illness this time, my family will be very grateful!"

Chu Qiuming, who sideways avoided the great gift from the young master of the Jiang family, sighed softly after he was ready to speak, and spoke for the first time after entering this bedroom: "Master Jiang's symptoms are indeed the same as those of the two young masters and young ladies of the Chi family. However, according to Xiaodao's view, the adult's disease is already deep, and he is already old, whether he can survive the next calamity depends on God's will. As for personnel matters, Xiaodao will do his best."

Jiang Chengsong, who had already despaired of his father's hysteria, was stunned for a moment before he realized what he said. He was overwhelmed with surprise, grinned, and bowed to Chu Qiuming again and again at a loss: "This is very good. I hope it will be good if we fight, and please don't hesitate to fight!"

Hearing Jiang Chengsong's voice was trembling, Chu Qiuming felt a little uncomfortable for a long time, and shook the dust: "Thank you, Mr. Xinzhong."

"Young master, please send someone to roll up the bamboo curtains around the room, and then wait outside the door. Except for my friend Yu Tao to help, Xiaodao does not want any idlers in the room when he is treating Mr. Jiang."

Although he was puzzled and nervous about this request, Jiang Chengsong obediently left his father's bedroom after the servant girl rolled up the curtain.Chu Qiuming heaved a sigh of relief, and when he closed the door, he nodded to Young Master Jiang who stood outside the door and bowed deeply to him.

... If he failed to cure the hysterical Mr. Jiang when he went out of this room, would he have caught himself and thrown him into a cell in despair and anger?

With a soft laugh, Chu Qiuming relaxed his clean and dignified Taoist appearance, rubbed his shoulders, turned around, and bowed his hands to Yu Tao, who was sitting on a small couch beside him, most of his body reflected in the sun: " Shopkeeper Yu, I'm afraid I have to ask you to help me this time."

"Huh? Me?" Yu Tao, who was sitting and waiting to see the Taoist priest display his skills, looked back at him in surprise, "I don't know anything about medicine, what can I do?"

"So you really didn't notice it?" Seeing that his confused expression was not fake, Chu Qiuming raised his eyebrows as if he had realized something, and without saying anything else, he put Fuchen on the low cabinet beside him, walked over to Beside the bed, "Come here first and help me untie all the cloth strips that bind him, and then move him to your couch to meet the sun."

"Whether it is possessed by evil spirits or not, you will know as soon as you expose it."

It took a long time to understand what Chu Qiuming meant by "possessed by evil spirits". Yu Tao was shaking his untied hands, staring in surprise at the decadent man on the bed who vents a lot of breath... Uh, Still didn't see anything.

It wasn't until spiritual power poured into his eyes inadvertently that Yu Tao found a faint black and gray mark on his body.

Except for the clean area of ​​Tianling Gai, this person was covered with "black ash" from head to toe.

"Things such as ghosts and ghosts can still attach to people. It's a good thing that the stench is gone after being attached." Knowing what kind of ghosts are made of, Yu Tao is determined in his heart, and he sighs with emotion. The man who looked like a living corpse pushed up from the bed, not paying attention to Chu Qiuming's rolling eyes secretly opposite him.

He didn't think there was anything good about the evil thing attaching to the human body at all, Chu Qiuming rolled his eyes and touched his chin, feeling a little envious of the monster race.

After thinking for a while, he asked: "Shopkeeper, since you have seen the traces of the little ghost attached to his body, may you drive it out directly?"

Chu Qiuming's idea sounded plausible, Yu Tao eagerly gathered a cloud of spiritual energy in his hands, and gestured at the person... Well, he couldn't do it.

"... According to the rules set by the Dao of Heaven, our clan is not allowed to directly harm mortals; I cannot infiltrate spiritual energy into his body."

With a click of his tongue, Chu Qiuming shook his head: "If you don't tell me, I almost forgot about this, it's really troublesome. Then do it according to the original method. I will force it out, and you, the store, will kill it."

"Ah."

It was almost noon, and the place where the sun shone indoors was the small couch by the window.

Together with Yu Tao, they carried the man to the couch. While supporting the man's shoulders, Chu Qiuming said to Yu Tao: "Shopkeeper, watch when I put the man in the sun later." , Destroy that brat as soon as possible."

"You have reminded me four times, I remember." Yu Tao didn't understand why Chu Qiuming suddenly became so wordy, and frowned at him dissatisfied.

Disliked, Chu Qiuming opened his mouth and swallowed what he wanted to say. He took a deep breath and focused his mind. Like a hedgehog on guard against temptation, he grabbed Mr. Jiang by the shoulder and pushed him toward the sun. push.

There was a sound of "呲——", like a drop of cold water being put into boiling oil. Just as a beam of sunlight touched the skin of Jiang's living corpse, a black mist visible to the naked eye gushed out from the human body violently, engulfing the body. The man with a ferocious expression like a ghost jumped up from the couch and rushed towards Chu Qiuming!

Chu Qiuming, who was tense, let go of his hand very quickly when he heard the memorable sound of "呵呵", and took a few big steps back to avoid the pounce.He didn't even have the time to call out Yu Tao, his eyes were fixed on the figure in the black mist, his teeth and claws, his face was blue and black, and he had no sense of aristocratic family, and he was clutching the last few talismans of the master's family with one hand——

A gust of breeze with the fragrance of peach blossoms came out of nowhere, drawing a rift between himself and the evil spirit a few inches away.

Amidst the hoarse, sharp and painful howling of the figure, Chu Qiuming's legs softened and he sat on the ground directly, and let out a breath of breath that he had held for a long time.

"This is, this is my father calling! Mr. Jia, what is the Taoist priest you invited doing!?" Jiang Chengsong, who had circled countless circles outside the door, suddenly heard his father's painful hissing, his expression frightened, Under the burst of momentum, it seemed that the whole person was taller, and he swung Jia Zhen away and kicked open the door with a few kicks!

The author has something to say: Last night, I finished a class task that has been tormenting me for a long time, and then went to catch up on sleep, so there is no update? (????ω????)?

It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a long sleep, cool~!

Happy Christmas Eve, I wish you all good health~
