Taoist Qimei stood up again and snatched the mirror back from Lu Ning's hand without bothering to wipe the dirt on his clothes.
"What a monster!" He raised his finger and Lu Ning shouted loudly, "How dare you turn into a human and walk around in the streets in broad daylight! Do you really think there is no royal law in this world?"
Lu Ning looked confused.
"Appear quickly!" Qi Mei took out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket, flicked it twice in the air, and then put it on Lu Ning's head. Lu Ning would not wait for him to put the talisman on herself, and just hid aside. He dodged past and feigned anger: "Why are you so crazy!"
"Taoist Priest! What are you doing!" Second Uncle Chen was also startled. Teng Xuan, who was next to Lu Ning, had already clenched her fists and planned to come up and beat someone.
"Hey! Monster!"
Qi Mei ignored her completely and continued to wave the paper talisman towards her. Teng Xuan did not hesitate anymore and rushed forward and punched Qi Mei in the abdomen. The talisman scratched her face, but Qi Mei was still strong. After receiving a punch, he immediately let out a cry of pain. However, while he was in pain, he didn't forget to look at Teng Xuan again in the mirror. While complaining about the pain, he still yelled and asked: "Ouch... Hey, why are you okay? Ouch..."
"Please explain clearly what is going on."
"The yin energy in your body is so heavy. If you were a human, you would have fallen ill a long time ago. How can you still be healthy and talk here... Huh? There is still a little yang energy..." Qi Mei stared at the mirror and looked carefully. His eyebrows knitted together, "You..."
"Didn't I tell you? I have already encountered a monster, otherwise what would I do to you?" Lu Ning explained again.
"Oh, it's... it's true." Qi Mei's arrogant attitude suddenly became a lot weaker, "This yin energy is a big ghost, what have you provoked? What shouldn't be broken if you break it? Or did you read something you shouldn’t have read?”
"No, I just participated in a somewhat weird story Solitaire. Do you want to hear more about it?"
"No, no." Qi Mei waved her hands hurriedly, "This situation...hehe...that..."
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Now you want to say that you can't deal with it?"
"I didn't expect to deal with such a big monster. I didn't even bring any magical weapons or treasures. I'm afraid I am too weak to do what I want..."
This man is indeed not a charlatan, but the kind of person who knows how to detect ghosts, but is a humble person. Lu Ning narrowed her eyes, then pulled Teng Xuan back, and said again: "Then you dare to ask where the master is from? Do you know if there are other experts nearby who can help? Money is not an issue. "
"Taoist Priest, you expelled the Nine-faced Baby from my body back then, so you must be quite capable." Second Uncle Chen also advised from the side, "It's not easy for these two little girls to deal with this kind of thing. Please help if you can." Just a handful."
Qi Mei's face was almost wrinkled.
His own family knew about his family affairs. Although he learned some Taoist magic when he was a child, he did not have the aura. He only knew three kinds of magic: illuminating demons, exorcising evil spirits, and enlightening spirits. . What he did for Uncle Chen back then was just to get rid of the Yin Qi mark left by the Nine-faced Infant on their bodies. This was considered his ability, but he didn't dare to meet the evil ghost at all.
"This...I'm not going to lie to you, I can't deal with this sneakiness, but I can ask my senior brother to come over and try, but he is not as easy to talk to as me..." Qi Mei said with a grimace.
"Taoist priest and senior brother?" Second Uncle Chen said in surprise.
"It's true, it's true..." Qi Mei nodded twice, feeling a little wilted. He took out his cell phone and said, "Senior brother is also nearby. Just wait for me to call him."
Then he walked to the side. Although he couldn't hear the conversation, Lu Ning could see Qi Mei's nodding and bowing posture. Her impression of Qi Mei has changed a bit. After all, it is not a sin to eat what he can eat. Since he has some skills, he should make a living by doing so. At this time, he is actually quite self-aware and not too pretentious. Only people can live longer.
About ten minutes later, Qi Mei came over.
"Senior brother, take the next bus and come here. You'll be here in about twenty minutes." He said in a bitter tone.
"Does the Taoist master's senior fellow also not have the art of deflation?" Chen Er was a little surprised.
Qi's eyebrows twitched and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he hummed twice and stopped answering.
"Taoist master, you don't have to be like this. I have another question. I wonder if I can ask for advice?" Lu Ning showed a little more respect.
"Say it." Qi Mei sighed.
"You said that my senior brother is also here. This is too coincidental. Could it be that all the talented people and strangers have gathered here? Is something big going to happen?"
Qi Mei touched a wisp of beard on his chin and nodded: "You girl is quite keen. Indeed, something big is going to happen nearby. There are many people from all major sects who come here to wander around to see what's going on."
"I don't know..."
Qi Mei glared at Lu Ning twice behind Chen Er's back, and then mouthed "I don't know".
Lu Ning laughed. If Qi Mei was indeed such a lowly person, he would not know what was going on. And Qi Mei gave up acting in front of her, which saved a lot of time.
Twenty minutes later, the next bus arrived.

"The poor Taoist Lu Ping is a Taoist who travels in Chengyun Temple."
Qi Mei’s senior brother is completely different from Qi Mei. This Taoist priest named Lu Ping hardly looks like a Taoist priest except for a Bagua pendant around his waist. He is dressed in coarse cloth clothes and trousers that are wear-resistant and dirt-resistant and is easy to go out. He is carrying a large backpack. On his head was a straw hat that he got from somewhere. However, compared with Qimei, Lu Ping looks bigger and rounder, with a red face, only two short beards above his lips, and a pair of bright eyes.
He made a bow to Lu Ning and Teng Xuan, and then glanced sharply at Qi Mei.
"Hey, senior brother, don't look at me like that. You know junior brother, I don't have much ability, but I never do those things that fool people. If I can't do it, I just can't do it..." Qi Mei said quickly.
"Shut up!"
"Hey, hey..." Qi Mei was also obedient.
Then Lu Ping turned to Lu Ning, glanced at him, and nodded.
"My junior brother has an impetuous temperament and has no spiritual intelligence. He likes to talk. It's just because he has a weak personality that he doesn't dare to provoke the ghosts and ghosts, so as not to cause serious trouble. I also know a thing or two about the situation of the two girls, so I might as well find another place. A secluded place where we talk in detail.”
"I heard that Master Lu still has something to do..."
"Conquering demons and catching monsters is the foundation of spiritual practice. If you ignore your duties due to a chance, it is the same as abandoning the basics and chasing the weak." Lu Ping said seriously.
It's not easy to find a secluded place here in Qingshuvine. After all, the area is not large. After much deliberation, Lu Ning decided to open another room in the guest house for discussion, and of course Qi Mei followed her there.
The four people sat down in the room, and Lu Ping said: "Just now, I noticed that the Yang Qi on the two of you is thin and the Yin Qi is strong. This must be a sign of evil spirits. Especially this girl's condition is serious. If nothing goes wrong, There should be signs showing up in both of you. However, at this moment, I can only see that the slightly taller girl may have some discomfort, but she is fine for the time being due to her good health."
The more serious thing he meant was of course Lu Ning, and Teng Xuan subconsciously touched her forehead after hearing this.
"We met a ghost named White-faced Buddha on the road." Lu Ning said.
"Oh? You actually know the name of the ghost?" Lu Ping was a little surprised.
"I have an APP... Taoist priest, do you know what an APP is?"
"You know a little bit...can you let me have a look?"
It didn't matter. The only inconvenient crow app on Lu Ning's phone was that she could only use it. She opened the Geng Wu Zhiguai and handed it to Lu Ping.
Lu Ping seemed to rarely use these, but fortunately the operations were very simple. He knew how to use them after swiping twice, but as he watched the information on the screen, his brows became more and more frowned.
"What's wrong?" Teng Xuan asked hurriedly.
"The monsters and monsters in the human world are born out of resentment, anger and fear, and they eat food and grow up in awe. The human world is dominated by humans. Regardless of ghosts, monsters, spirits, or monsters who want to walk in the world, they must be given a name. If a monster gets a special name, the situation has been established. , and here... there's more than one demon, it's just... it's just nonsense! If you have the intention to do it, you can kill it! You can kill it!"
"Brother, isn't it the time for us to talk about this now? Can we investigate who developed this app later and solve the immediate difficulties first?" Qi Mei said.
Lu Ping coughed lightly, then nodded and said: "Then this...Teng Xuan? The situation of Miss Teng Xuan is very clear. The yin and yang imbalance caused by the yang energy being extracted by the yin object. Fortunately, she is still young. Soon, the yang energy will reach its peak, and it is not difficult to borrow a ray to balance it. But what is difficult is the illness of this... girl Li Wenyue."
"I know." Lu Ning nodded.
"With all due respect, the girl's Yin Qi is as strong as ninety-one. Most people would have been unconscious if they were in this situation. But the girl behaves and talks like normal people. This is abnormal." Lu Ping held up the bag around his waist. Bagua Tray, "It is no longer possible to determine what has happened to the girl just by observing with Dharma eyes. A poor person needs to open a small altar."
"What cooperation does the Taoist need from me?"
"Please tell me your horoscope, girl."
There was nothing particularly special about Lu Ping's opening of the altar. He only used the Bagua plate around his waist and an incense burner from his backpack. He also used the cups provided by the guest house to place them in four directions, with tea leaves, egg whites, and other ingredients placed inside. After adding rice and wine, he lit a stick of incense in the house, sat in front of the stove with his eyes closed, and chanted silently until the incense burned out before he got up. Lu Ning also looked over.
"It's not good..." Lu Ping's words shocked people.
"What's wrong again?" Teng Xuan asked hurriedly.
Lu Ning felt a little more confident. Since gods, ghosts, and monsters exist in this world, they will also follow some similar laws of the world - the edges of the offerings in the cup, the tea leaves will wither and turn yellow, the egg whites will show black spots, the rice will turn yellow, and the wine will become turbid.
Before she came, her group of good friends made her learn some basic knowledge about the supernatural world. Now she knows that these four kinds of offerings are used to calculate the origin of ghosts. However, each sect has different methods and I don't know how to break them down. That’s all. The reason why Lu Ping said it was not good was because all four of them reacted.
"Taoist Master, please explain in detail."
Lu Ning's calm tone made Lu Ping also nodded slightly. Unless most people are still in the stage of complete disbelief when encountering this matter, otherwise they would be really outstanding in their character.
"I will use your horoscopes to calculate the sources of disasters in the next thirty days, so as to deal with them, and also to spy on the true identity of the ghosts. However... all four sources will respond."
Lu Ping pointed at the table with his hand, shook his head and said: "If the tea leaves are brown and yellow, the disaster comes from natural and spiritual things that fall into evil ways; if the egg whites are ashes, the disaster comes from things that have returned from the dead, and the evil intentions are obvious; if the rice If it becomes moldy, it will bring disaster to its own utensils. If it uses old things, it will covet the world; if it is pure wine, it will bring disaster to its own living people. If it becomes possessed by demons, it will harm others and benefit itself."
Natural spirits, dead spirits, tool spirits and human demons. Lu Ning quickly classified them in her mind.
"The girl will have a difficult life in the future, and she may die unexpectedly within thirty days..."
"Senior brother! Don't talk nonsense before this happens." Qi Mei said hurriedly.
"Qi Mei, these results can only mean that Miss Li may be chased and intercepted by several ghosts in the future. Even if I am by her side, it is difficult to say that she will be saved. Now she is covered in Yin Qi but moves as usual. It is not that her physique is different from ordinary people, but She has been privately determined by ghosts and monsters, and even her soul is destined to become a fierce soul. This ray of cause and effect prevents her from being affected by the 'similar' aura before her yang energy is exhausted."
"That's not bad." Lu Ning nodded.
"What a ghost!" Teng Xuan slapped her on the shoulder, her voice trembling: "You are going to die, do you know! Those are all ghosts... ghosts..."
No matter how courageous Teng Xuan usually is, she still trembles when this topic is brought up, and in the end she can no longer continue talking.
Lu Ning is not worried about this.
"Then at least I don't have to worry about the Yin Qi making me sick. Now let's solve it step by step. Which step can we achieve?"
"You can still be so calm, which saves me some words. Today I will first see if the nine-faced baby is related to you. In any case, I will collect this ghost first. Your situation cannot be solved in the short term."
At this moment, Qi Mei suddenly clapped his hands: "By the way, senior brother, haven't many people from Taoist sects been gathering around here recently? Why don't we call in a few more helpers? This exorcism of ghosts is always a matter of accumulating evil deeds, and He's not an ordinary kid, someone should be willing to come over, right?"
Lu Ping glanced at Qi Mei, but this time he was not particularly harsh, he just sighed.
"Since the development of the Taoist sect, subduing monsters and catching monsters has become a means rather than a vocation. Nothing can be done without heavy gold, nothing without golden merit, nothing without chance and precious treasures. The etiquette must be respectful, the carriage must be fragrant, and the food must be Phoenix marrow, the ritual must be well prepared."
"Is this what those people are talking about? Isn't it too extravagant? I'm really envious... No, it's really too corrupt. How come the atmosphere of our Taoist sect has become like this?" Qi Mei shouted.
"I can try to invite one or two friends, but Miss Li, you'd better not have extravagant expectations for people from this Taoist sect. Although you have some money, it's hard to satisfy your desires."
"I understand, but can you tell me, Taoist Master Lu, why Taoist people gathered around Gengwu City?" Lu Ning took the opportunity to ask.
