Yang Ruoqing shook her head again, "I came to you alone because I didn't want to expand the influence. Now my sister and brother-in-law are hiding this matter." Luo Fengtang also asked: "Is there a charm or something like that that can be used to intimidate someone?

"

Taoist priest Yuan smiled bitterly, "The power of these talismans is directly linked to the cultivation level of the person who carved the talismans. I am not very talented, so I am lacking in this aspect."

Yang Ruoqing knew that Taoist Yuan knew more about theory than they did, and he had a Taoist way of dealing with common matters.

But when he really encounters those strange and weird things, Taoist Yuan can only analyze them from a theoretical perspective, and it can't be like in Lin Zhengying's movie where he fights with a mahogany sword and makes it burst into flames. That's the movie effect.

"Taoist Priest, look at my Tang Yazi. He said he would go patrolling at night with a sword. Do you think it can be a deterrent?" Yang Ruoqing suddenly pointed at Luo Fengtang and asked Taoist Yuan.

Daochang Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Fengtang carefully.

Luo Fengtang sat there with a golden sword, his shoulders sank, his eyebrows were cold, and his whole body was full of aura, allowing Taoist priest Yuan to look at him.

"General Luo is the reincarnation of Wuquxing. Even the Dragon Subduing Arhat in front of Buddha is nothing more than this. General Luo is so majestic and righteous that all evil spirits and heretics will naturally not dare to approach him." Taoist priest Yuan said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "That's what I thought too, but since he can only be a thief for a thousand days and not guard against thieves for a thousand days, we can't let him patrol every night. That would be very tiring, so I came up with a way."

"I would like to hear the details." Yuan Daochang said.

Yang Ruoqing continued: "Let him guard for a few nights first, so that the 'things' there will recognize him, and then draw two portraits of him and paste them there, like the door gods? Do you think it's okay, Master Yuan?"

During the Chinese New Year in this area, it is popular to put up Spring Festival couplets and window grilles. The door gods also put up stickers, but the ones they posted were all the statues of Zhong Kui.

It is not Qin Shubao and Yuchi Gong.

This was a doubt in Yang Ruoqing's mind. Later, she checked the relevant classics and found that this time and space was a different time and space. The Tang Dynasty did not appear at all, so naturally there were no two generals, Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao.

"Mrs. Luo, thousands of households are familiar with the idea of ​​Zhong Kui's portrait being used as a door god. This is the first time I've heard of using General Luo's portrait. There is no precedent before..." Taoist priest Yuan was a little unsure about this.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Then I will tell a story to the Taoist Priest first, and you can think about it after you finish listening."

"Listen attentively." Taoist priest Yuan sat upright.

Luo Fengtang handed the tea to Yang Ruoqing: "Moisten your throat before telling the story."

Yang Ruoqing smiled at him, thinking that he understood her, and her throat was indeed a little dry after talking for so long.

After taking a sip of tea, Yang Ruoqing told the story:

"When I was in the capital, I heard someone tell me such a strange thing. There was once a country where several brothers fought for the throne. The younger brother killed the older brother. After the younger brother became the emperor, he couldn't sleep at night. It turned out that it was the older brother.

The ghost was unwilling to give in and came up from the underworld to look for him every night."

"The whole palace was in panic, until one day, the emperor told the two generals around him about this matter. Those two generals were the generals who helped the emperor conquer the world, and they were figures who came through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The general then stood guard in front of the emperor's palace, and strangely enough, the brother's ghost no longer dared to harass him."

"But the generals can't rest at night, so the painter in the palace came up with the idea to draw the portraits of the two generals and paste them on the palace door to serve as door gods. They can continue to intimidate, from there.

From that time on, the common people would put up portraits of the two generals on their houses during New Years and holidays."

"Taoist priest, my idea was inspired by this story. Do you think we can try it?" After the story was told, Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Daochang Yuan was obviously immersed in the bizarre energy of this story, stroking his beard, squinting his eyes and nodding in surprise: "The things in the world are really bizarre. From a purely theoretical point of view, it should be feasible. But when it comes to painting, I'm afraid

This ink pigment must be very particular and requires the use of cinnabar..."

"Mix my blood into cinnabar, the effect may be better." Luo Fengtang interrupted Yuan Daochang's words.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing the blue-black veins at the mouth of his bowl: "My blood will definitely do."

Yang Ruoqing looked at the faintly visible veins on his arm, which contained Taizu's blood.

Every time Taizu's bloodline awakens, he looks like Superman. His blood is magical blood.

However, the thought of him losing blood made her heartache.

"It's okay, I won't lose much blood. At worst, I can make up for it by eating a few more pieces of pork liver." Luo Fengtang said to her relaxedly.

"As long as the predicament in front of my mother-in-law can be solved, that will be fine." He added.

Yang Ruoqing could only nod cruelly.

After some detailed discussions with Taoist Yuan, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang left the Taoist temple.

It was evening when we came, and it was completely dark when we came back.

Anyone else would definitely be scared, but these two are not ordinary people. They are both talented and brave people.

"Look at this tree. This place used to be a dirty place like Jiangjiapo. Ever since the Taoist temple was built here, it has shocked everyone." Yang Ruoqing raised her finger and circled around, following Luo Fengtang.

road.

Luo Fengtang said: "The gods are enshrined in Taoist temples. On the one hand, they suppress them, and on the other hand, they can also convert the souls who have no owners."

Yang Ruoqing said 'hmm', that's what she had in mind when she built this Taoist temple. There are many old and lonely graves in this area without descendants to offer incense, so they built a Taoist temple so that they can have a place to enjoy their offerings.

, coupled with the washing of scriptures, it can also eliminate their karmic debt and go to reincarnation as soon as possible.

"Let's go to the pasture and stay for a while." Yang Ruoqing suggested.

Luo Fengtang reached out and took her hand: "Okay, that's what I meant."

The two of them walked along the river dam at the foot of the mountain toward the pasture. The moonlit sky illuminated everything around them as bright as day.

After the beginning of spring, in order to facilitate irrigation, we originally planned to open the reservoir in Zhengjia Village. However, due to the bridge construction in Changping Village, the opening of the reservoir was postponed.

Therefore, the water level in the river was not high and the water flow was silent.

The two were walking hand in hand and chatting. Suddenly, Yang Ruoqing stopped and listened carefully.

"There is movement in the water ahead," she said.

Luo Fengtang said: "I heard it too, it was gurgling, like something was drinking water."

Yang Ruoqing raised her head and glanced at the dark mountain ridge, and suddenly became excited: "I heard before that there is a big snake in this mountain. When the wheat is ripe in April and May, the big snake presses its head on the wheat to drink water from the river, and its body is still there.
