Chapter 338 Wolf Pats Shoulder

An old man with whom I have only a superficial relationship, a couple I have never met before...

I racked my brains to think, but I really couldn't see how this matter would affect my fate.

In my opinion, the only things that can have a huge impact on my fate are the extremely important people or things in my life, but how important is this matter? To put it bluntly, now things seem to be under my control. Once I find that the cause and effect relationship is too great and we brothers can't bear it, I'm afraid I will immediately pat my butt and leave, and let Old Man Qi find someone else. As for the people involved in this matter, I only know Old Man Qi, and our relationship is still the kind of relationship that we can say a few heartfelt words to each other, and if I must say something, I must admit that I like the cabbages grown by this old man. They are so tender that you can squeeze out water. Zhang Xinya uses vinegar to simmer them, and they are fragrant and refreshing without adding other seasonings.

It's impossible that my fate will be implicated just because I like the cabbages grown by the old man, right?

Along the way, I was thinking about this matter in my head, but I couldn't see any clues. But since my master said so, I kept an eye on it. I don't take fate as seriously as before. Both Qingzhu and my master said that there are many variables in a person's fate, three-point people and seven-point days. If one changes, everything changes. My master only saw a certain picture on one of the forks. It's just a possibility. It can be used as a basis for reference. The role of warning is greater than prediction. What the future will really be like, you have to go through it yourself to know the taste. It's too crazy to say that my fate is determined by me, not by heaven, and it's easy to be struck by lightning. But it's still right to say that you only look at the present and don't ask about the future.

I didn't figure it out, but I gradually felt relieved in my heart.

When we returned to Old Man Qi's place, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening. Brother Yaozi and Wushuang were so hungry that they squatted at the door on the left and right, like two generals, just like two mountain cannons.

Without saying anything more, they carried Yindi and her husband to the car and went to the city to have a meal. After discussing it, they decided that it was too late to find a house. If they went back to Zhenwu Temple, Yindi and her husband's condition would not allow them to go back. The quiet place of Taoism could not accommodate two evil spirits. Their condition was no better than that of a big zongzi. Living there might cause problems. So they simply found a hotel to stay overnight.

Interestingly, the attitude of the front desk of the hotel was very strange. When Zhang Xinya came forward to talk, the waiter looked at his nose and his heart, and was wandering. After asking several times, the waiter woke up as if from a dream, showed a professional smile, and responded that tonight was full.

One family was full, two families were full, and every family was full.

It was not a festival, and the economic environment was not good. Where did so many guests come from?

After going to several hotels, we finally understood. We took a look at Yindi and her husband in the car. Here is the reason...

Old man Qi felt like a punching bag, feeling very aggrieved. He angrily said that people nowadays have bad consciences. They can't even take in two patients. Aren't they afraid of being struck by lightning?

I shook my head and thought that if I were a hotel owner, I wouldn't take them in. Look at your own daughter and son-in-law. Do they look any different from two dead people? The hotel is not a morgue, let alone a corpse-driving inn. If you let us stay today, will you still do business tomorrow?

We are used to the warmth and coldness of human nature. We really don't have any dissatisfaction with this extremely normal consideration.

Zhang Xinya was sitting in the car, searching for daily rental houses with her phone. After looking at the prices, her face wrinkled like she had eaten bitter melon. She asked Brother Yaozi how long it would take to cure the disease. Brother Yaozi replied that it would take at least three or four days, and it would be hard to say if it would take longer. It depends on the luck of the couple. Generally speaking, it would take eight or nine days to get better.

After hearing this, Zhang Xinya shuddered and slumped on the co-pilot.

I leaned forward and looked at the price, and then looked at Zhang Xinya silently. Both of us had a flash of meaning in our eyes - so expensive? If we stay here for a month, we will be penniless again. By then, I will inevitably put on my Taoist robe and go out to cheat. If I do this too many times, I can't guarantee what my master will do to me...

Zhang Xinya suddenly sat up, looked at me eagerly, and asked if my shop had not been rented out yet?

If she hadn't said that, I would have forgotten that I also own a house. The shop is still there. I have put up a sign to rent it out these days, but unfortunately I go out every now and then to do things, and my phone is always changing. Even if someone likes the shop, they can't contact me. It hasn't been rented out yet, and the house has been empty.

Now it's my turn to be embarrassed. The hotel doesn't want these two people to stay. Do I want to? To put it bluntly, there are still unclean things watching these two people. What if they make a fuss and the neighbors know about it? There is an old hag next door. Her tongue is as long as 40 meters. When others swing a 40-meter-long sword to chop people, the old hag will stretch out her 40-meter-long tongue to lick everyone she sees. Which neighbor hasn't been secretly plotted by her? The wife of the old Zhang family smiled at the eldest uncle, and it became that the two of them had an affair. The son of the old Li family went out to take a bath and caught a cold, so the young man was rumored to have syphilis. Someone wanted to introduce me to a partner before, and the next day I saw the old woman eating melon seeds and smiling at people at the door, saying that my child looked thin, and must have kidney deficiency and sexual weakness. She was experienced, and she was definitely right. The blind date that was originally scheduled fell through, and the uncle who introduced the girl said that the girl had something to go out, and we would talk about it later. I can even imagine that if these two people live in, no matter if there is any trouble, if the old woman sees it, the ghost story in my house will definitely spread, and this house will never be rented out.

Old man Qi looked at me eagerly, crying.

The dark-faced old farmer showed this look that was really eye-catching. I couldn't resist his gaze, so I glared at Zhang Xinya fiercely, and finally nodded, thinking to myself - forget it, my father left me such an industry, so I won't rent it if I don't want to rent it. It's good to leave the shop there and come back to see it every now and then, just as a memory.

Now it's good, I don't have to rent a house. Sure enough, for a money-grubber, he can always find ways to save money in the shortest time. As for who to kill, it's not within his consideration at all. This is a talent that others can't match!

I haven't been back to the shop for half a year. When I pushed the door again, I was left with only bitterness in my heart.

People are mean-tempered. When I looked at the shop before, I yearned for a thrilling life, but now I live a life of uncertainty. Whenever I struggle on the edge of life and death, I will inexplicably feel that it was not bad to be a salted fish before.

No one cleaned the house, and it was already covered with dust.

Old man Qi felt that he owed us, and spontaneously cleaned up the house.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Brother Yaozi called Wushuang and Laobai to carry Yindi and her husband upstairs.

Only Zhang Xinya and I wandered around the house like two homeless ghosts.

Zhang Xinya stroked the cosmetics in the bathroom, pursed her lips tightly, and asked me if she was very beautiful before?

I nodded seriously, not perfunctorily at all. Others are 5 points for appearance, 6 points for makeup, and 9 points for beauty filters. She is 9 points for light makeup casually. If she turns on the beauty filter... it's incredible!

This is normal. Just look at my master's evil appearance and you will know how strong her maternal genes are. In her words, she is actually the second ugliest in her family. The ugliest is her father. From childhood to adulthood, the two of them have been living a hard life under the sarcasm of her mother.

Zhang Xinya looked at herself in the mirror, and sighed as she thought about the miserable life of having to be stingy every day to order food and having to cook for a few stinky men in the Taoist temple. She patted her thighs, which were now extremely muscular, and touched her wheat-colored face, which was slightly rough from the wind and sun. She said dejectedly that she could never go back.

Lao Bai suddenly appeared from a corner and said that he didn't dislike it at all. If you don't believe it, you can find a place to try it. The passion is enough.

Zhang Xinya took out the Tianguan Blade from my waist and chased after me without saying a word. For a while, there was chaos and the deserted house finally had some popularity.

Yindi was a woman, and it was inconvenient for us to take care of her. Zhang Xinya took a bottle of alcohol to the house to help her wash her body. Brother Yaozi said that you should clean your body first before treating the disease, but after a while, Zhang Xinya rushed out with a bitter face and heavy breathing.

We didn't know why, but when we undressed her husband, I will never forget the way he looked. There was almost no good flesh on his body, all of which were wounds from cockroach bites. I didn't know cockroaches could bite people so fiercely. They tore off the skin and flesh alive, leaving pits and blood holes, biting the smooth skin into the surface of the moon, and the smelly pus under the skin flowed out. The autumn clothes inside grew on the flesh. After a long time, some places could not be torn apart. Brother Yaozi could only wet it with water first, and then peel it off little by little.

I have to sigh that this person has a strong vitality, just like wild grass, and can withstand such destruction.

It is not difficult to treat lung rot. The difficulty is to find the right person at the first time, recognize the symptoms, and grasp the right time. It's just a few sets of herbs. If the only mysterious method is a Shangqing Lingfu, this kind of talisman is for protection, which can drive away evil spirits and hold the true self. I have written a lot during this period, and we also have some herbs with us.

This greatly facilitated Brother Yaozi's rescue. He first soaked the thatch and moxa in wine. These two are the most famous evil-repelling medicines. Ordinary people have great benefits in keeping them at home. After the two herbs are softened, they are put into the water. Several large basins are boiled at the same time. The steam is rolling. The whole bathroom is like a steam room. Yindi and her husband are put in it and fumigated for more than an hour.

The couple are covered with water droplets, and they don't need to be wiped. They are directly put into the bathtub. The water temperature in the bathtub is very high, and then Brother Yaozi puts the prepared medicine into it.

I have seen the ingredients, which are also very simple. Eight cents of mugwort and lemongrass, six cents of calamus, and a little artemisia annua, pounded into powder, and finally one or two chicken throats ground into powder, and then poured into the bathtub, and finally two Shangqing Lingfu I made were pasted on the foreheads of the couple, just like suppressing zombies.

"That's it."

Brother Yaozi looked at the two people who had been settled and said softly: "In fact, it is very simple to drive away the evil spirit of this evil house, just like driving away wild beasts. The most difficult thing is to find a reliable Taoist priest and ask for a spiritual talisman. It works only when it has spiritual energy. This talisman is like a vicious dog chasing after wild beasts, chasing the evil spirit in their bodies and constantly running into the preset encirclement. When it comes out of their bodies, it will be neutralized by these herbs and can never go back. You have seen these herbs, they are all herbs for exorcising evil spirits. The recipe was exchanged from an old Taoist priest in the past. It uses a piece of fine white jade from the Ming Dynasty!"

Sure enough, soon after Yindi and her husband entered the water, they saw the effect. Threads of green pus overflowed from the wounds bitten by cockroaches, spread in the water, and soon disappeared, never drilling back into their bodies. I activated the Earth Spirit Pearl to open my eyes and see that black air was lingering on the water surface, and the Shangqing Spirit Talisman was emitting a faint light. These black airs soon dissipated, but the house was stinking.

Old man Qi came to see it secretly with a sly look. When he saw the effect, he was shocked and knelt down to kowtow to us, which scared us so much that we quickly helped him up.

The old man was in tears, and we couldn't bear to see such a scene, and we knew we couldn't comfort him. In addition, we couldn't stand the smell in the bathroom, so we all avoided it and left Old Man Qi to take care of the two.

Before leaving, I looked inside. Old man Qi was sitting in front of the bathtub, carefully combing Yindi's hair. A woman in her forties, in the eyes of her old father, will probably always be the little girl who chased after her for candy. Even if the years have passed and time has eroded her face, in the eyes of her old father, she is the most beautiful treasure in the world.

This scene is warm and touching. Compared with the ugliness I have seen recently, I think this time it is worth it. Being a good person may not be rewarded, but I feel comfortable in my heart. I suddenly understand why my master has always told me to be a good person. He really does it for my own good. It is easy to get a rich life, but it is hard to get a peaceful heart.

Brother Yaozi also set the bathing time to one hour. Normally, more than ten minutes is enough. If it is too long, it will easily damage the foundation of the body. Unfortunately, we can't wait that long. There is an unknown thing outside that is watching and may come to claim our lives at any time. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days in the world. No one dares to guarantee that they can protect the couple. We can only try to speed up the process, but soaking for one hour every day is already the limit. Even so, it may take several days to wake up. They have been eroded by the evil house for too long and the stasis is too heavy!

There were no accidents during the treatment process. Soon, we helped Old Man Qi to place the couple in the house where Zhang Xinya used to live, and several of us took turns to keep watch.

After a lot of trouble, although it was not long after dinner, several people felt a little hungry again.

Brother Yaozi said that this was because we were afraid of being hungry when we went to the tomb, and we felt hungry as soon as our stomachs pulled.

However, this is in the city, there are so many stores open 24 hours a day, there is no need to wrong yourself.

After some discussion, I left Wushuang, Laobai, Zhang Xinya to guard the place. I was not afraid of anything happening, and Brother Yaozi and I went out to buy food.

I was familiar with the place, and there was a fast food restaurant not far away. It was midnight, and Brother Yaozi and I were together, chatting and wandering on the road.

When we passed a bend, a crisp girl's voice suddenly came from the dark alley next to it: "Big brother, do you know what a wolf pats your shoulder is?"
