As soon as the chen hour arrived, Taoist Master Ju An took four young Taoist priests to Jijiazhuang.
Ji Cangyu led Xu Jun, Ling'er, Zhong Gong and Zhong Long out to greet them in person.
Ling'er met Taoist Priest Ju An when he went to Changsheng Temple with Ji Cangyu.
At this time, Taoist Priest Ju An no longer wore a blue coat, but put on a gorgeous purple fairy cave robe. The Taoist robe was loose and elegant, which meant that it contained the universe and separated the world. He wore a Hunyuan scarf on his head, a whisk in his hand, and Shifang shoes on his feet. He carried a pair of male and female swords behind his back, and he looked like an immortal.
The four little Taoist priests behind him were about seventeen or eighteen years old. They were of varying heights, but they were all wearing blue robes. The robes were baggy and looked extremely elegant.
Taoist Ju'an walked into Liu Suiyuan and slowed down his steps, as if he was feeling the surrounding environment.
"Taoist Master, how are you?" Ji Cangyu asked hurriedly.
"It's a little evil, but it doesn't matter. It'll be fine after the rituals are done." Taoist Master Ju An said.
Ji Cangyu frowned slightly.
Entering the hall, Taoist Master Ju An selected a location with his fingers and asked the four little Taoist priests to take out a pile of fire candle runes and play with them on the ground.
Ji Cangyu hesitated for a moment and then asked: "What kind of evil do you mean by the evil spirit that the Taoist Master just mentioned?"
Taoist Priest Ju An explained: "Master Ji Mansion does not need to worry too much. Every mansion has some of this evil spirit, but some are serious and affect the owner, while others are not serious."
Seeing that Ji Cangyu was still frowning, Taoist Ju An continued: "The evil spirit in the house is not serious. I just heard from the owner that it has affected your body, so it must be eliminated!"
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with Ji's health. He has been getting much better these days." Ji Cangyu said hurriedly.
"Is it much better?" Taoist Ju An asked.
"Yes! Especially in the past few days, I haven't felt any discomfort at all as usual." Ji Cangyu said, "It's just last night... I'm afraid it was because I didn't get much rest in the previous two nights, so I had some chest tightness."
Ling'er looked at Ji Cangyu worriedly. Why didn't Uncle Ji mention to him that he was unwell last night?
"But the little brother who came to visit yesterday said that your physical discomfort is extremely serious!" Taoist priest Ju An said and looked at Zhong Gong.
"Ji's illness comes and goes. The most severe one was on a full-moon night. Even Jim couldn't bear the heart-breaking pain," Ji Cangyu said.
Ling'er lowered her eyes worriedly, and happened to see a little Taoist priest squatting on the ground placing candles and looking up at Ji Cangyu. The look in his eyes made Ling'er feel like he had seen it before.
Perhaps noticing Ling'er's gaze, the little Taoist glanced at Ling'er, then quickly lowered his head and continued working.
Ling'er felt strange. Although he had been to the Changsheng Temple, he didn't pay attention to any of the little Taoist priests in the temple. How could he have such a feeling of déjà vu?
Taoist Master Ju An said: "On a full moon night, the evil spirit is extremely strong, and the situation will become more serious."
"But..." Ji Cangyu was still hesitating.
At this moment, the four little Taoist priests had placed candles all over the place.
Taoist Ju An glanced at Huo Zhu and said, "It's almost time, let's get started!"
"Wait a minute!" Ji Cangyu hurriedly stopped him.
Taoist Priest Ju An looked at Ji Cangyu in confusion.
Ji Cangyu said apologetically: "Since the Taoist Master also said that the evil spirit is not very serious, let's not do any rituals yet."
"Why is this?" Taoist Ju An asked.
Ji Cangyu didn't answer. How could he say it? He was worried that if all the evil spirits in the village were removed, would the soul of his deceased wife also be expelled?
Taoist Priest Ju'an saw that Ji Cangyu didn't explain, so he began to persuade: "The evil energy will not eliminate a hundred harms and will not benefit a single thing. Not to mention the owner's own body, even the son will be affected by it."
"What?" Ji Cangyu was shocked.
Taoist priest Ju An realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, but he did not explain it.
"Taoist Priest, what do you mean just now? What impact does this have on Jun'er?" Ji Cangyu asked anxiously.
Taoist priest Ju An sighed and had no choice but to say: "Pindao once made a prediction for the village owner in private. There is a bad relationship between the village owner and your son. It must be related to this evil spirit."
Ji Cangyu was shocked and asked: "Naughty fate? What is this?"
"The secret must not be leaked. Master, don't ask any more questions." Taoist priest Ju An shook his head.
Ji Cangyu couldn't believe that there was actually a bad relationship between him and Jun'er. Could it be that those fortune tellers outside the Changsheng Temple were not talking nonsense?
Ling'er looked at Uncle Ji worriedly, fearing that he might not be able to bear it.
Zhong Gong hurriedly stepped forward to help Ji Cangyu and said comfortingly: "Master, don't worry. Didn't Taoist Ju An say that you will be fine after doing the rituals?"
"Really?" Ji Cangyu asked Taoist Ju An helplessly.
"Pindao will do his best," Taoist Master Ju An promised.
With his deceased wife on one side and his children on the other, Ji Cangyu made a painful decision and whispered: "Then please ask the Taoist Priest to start the ritual!"
Taoist priest Ju An nodded and walked to the pile of candles.
A short little Taoist priest held a jar of ashes and handed it over.
Taoist Ju'an recited a mantra, grabbed a handful of ashes from the jar with his right hand and sprinkled it on the candle, and then flicked the fly whisk onto the candle with his left hand.
All the candles were lit immediately.
Taoist Master Ju An lit a large handful of incense, divided it into four portions and handed them to the four young Taoist priests. Then, he took a few runes in his right hand and walked between the candles on the ground, chanting incantations with inaudible words in his mouth, worshiping the stars and summoning the gods.
This ritual is endless once it begins.
Ling'er felt a little bored and wanted to sneak out of the hall, but was afraid of being discovered.
After a while, Taoist Priest Ju An ended the fighting. He lit the runes in his hands and threw them into the magic circle. He nodded to the little Taoist priests, who then filed out with incense and left the hall.
Ling'er was so frightened when she saw Taoist Ju An flicking his fly whisk that he was about to start a new round of chanting sutras and repenting, that he quickly sneaked out of the hall in the chaos.
As soon as he left the hall, Ling'er took a breath of comfort.
She looked at the four little Taoist priests curiously. What were they going to do with the incense?
With this thought in mind, Ling'er followed.
After walking out of Liu Suiyuan, the four young Taoist priests went their separate ways. It seemed that they were going to different courtyards.
Ling'er looked at the backs of the four little Taoist priests and followed the tallest little Taoist priest.
The tall little Taoist priest went to Yangguiyuan where Xu Jun lived.
Ling'er followed the yard from a distance and watched from the spot.
The tall little Taoist priest took the incense and walked into a side room.
From Ling'er, you could just see the little Taoist priest placing a pair of candles on the table in front of the window, lighting them with flint, and then putting three sticks of incense in the incense burner.
After doing this, the little Taoist priest walked out and went to the next room.
I see.
Ling'er understood what they were going to do and was no longer interested in reading any more.
She wanted to go back to her room and continue reading medical books, but she also thought that she should burn incense in her room, right? I'm afraid there will be some exorcism ritual later.
Forget it, Ling'er simply found a nearby stone bench and sat down, looking at the sky in a daze, wondering how Brother Qi Yang is doing lately?
Hearing the "bang" of the door closing, Ling'er subconsciously turned her head to look.
It turned out that the tall little Taoist priest had already walked to Xu Jun's room to burn incense.
But why did he burn incense and close the door? Ling'er was puzzled and walked over quietly to find out.
