Chang Wei's molar teeth were almost broken, and he quickly followed: "Ling'er, Taoist Xu is the master of Fuhu Temple in Shihu Mountain. This time I specially asked him to come out to exorcise evil spirits for you. I am very sad that you are being tortured by evil spirits like this. It’s heartbreaking.”
Du Lan naturally understood the importance and said quickly: "What Taoist Master Xu said is that he also asked the Taoist Master to set up an altar for the little girl and do this to get rid of evil spirits."
Du Chuling looked up at Cao Ren and said softly: "Master Cao, weren't you the one who exorcised evil spirits for Ling'er?"
"Taoist Master Xu is better at this, so it will be safer for him to do it." Cao Ren said with a smile, he really doesn't know how to set up an altar and do this.
"Okay." Du Chuling reluctantly let go of Cao Ren. This was really a strong and warm arm, which made her heart tremble.
Xu Yanzhi opened the altar and arranged the magic circle.
Chang Wei went to please Du Lan with a shy smile, but he didn't get any good looks and could only sigh.
"Master Chang, how often do you practice martial arts?" Cao Ren asked casually.
Chang Wei opened the jade fan in his hand and said seriously: "I am a scholar and I don't know martial arts."
Cao Ren smiled and said nothing. He and Xiao Yunzhan went to sit on a stone bench under a tree and watched. The maid in green served tea.
"What's the girl's name?" Cao Ren took the teacup, inadvertently scratched the back of the maid's hand with his fingers, and asked with a smile.
The maid's face turned red and she whispered, "I call you Luluo."
"Luluo, this name is as lively as the person you are." The smile on Cao Ren's face grew stronger, and he said softly: "Are you Miss Du's personal maid? Have you been living with her these days and nights?"
"Well, since she was ten years old, Lu Luo has been serving the young lady day and night. There have been evil spirits causing trouble in the past few days, and she has never left her at night." Lu Luo nodded, with a slight spring in her heart. If the young lady marries Mr. Cao, according to the rules, she will be married to him. A maid, the kind who can do anything.
"So Laifu is an old servant in the house? Serving in Miss Du's yard?" Cao Ren asked again.
"No, Laifu only came to the house at the beginning of the year. He is responsible for raising horses on weekdays. He is the one who feeds the young lady's pony." Luluo shook her head and said angrily: "Other servants are afraid of evil spirits and stay away. , I relied on Laifu to stay in the yard every night and drive away the evil spirits, so that the young lady could be protected."
"Then do you have any contact with him on weekdays?" Cao Ren asked leisurely after taking a sip of tea.
Luluo shook her head slightly: "Sometimes when the lady wants to ride a horse, she will send me to ask Laifu to lead the horse out. Other times, there is no contact. It is only in the past few days that we have more contact."
"Okay." Cao Ren smiled and nodded: "The exorcism ceremony will begin soon. Go and stand next to your lady to get rid of bad luck."
"Well, thank you for the reminder, sir." Lu Luo turned around and walked towards her young lady. Mr. Cao was really a gentle and attentive person, unlike those other young gentlemen.
"Miss Du, you didn't want me, but you picked up the little maid instead. Brother Cao, there's something wrong with you." Xiao Yunzhan looked at Cao Ren with a smile.
"I am devoted to the Tao, how can I be easily tainted by the world." Cao Ren shook his head and glanced at him again: "If Miss Du is interested in you, do you want it?"
"I have had a strict upbringing since I was a child. This kind of lady from aristocratic families is absolutely untouchable. If I am not careful, I will get married young." Xiao Yunzhan shook his head repeatedly, "I am a born adventurer, and I want to climb higher. Peak, explore more unknown caves, so that you can live up to the wealth accumulated by your ancestors."
The second generation of immortals' view of love is so simple and unpretentious.
On the other side, Taoist Master Xu had already arranged the altar. Dozens of flags were planted around the altar. He held a handful of talismans and threw them into the sky. They immediately flew in all directions and landed in the Bagua direction.
Then he pulled out a mahogany sword, and while dancing with the sword, he muttered something: "The way of heaven is completed, thirty to five percent, the sun and the moon are together, come out of the graceful body, enter the underworld, the air preaches, the air connects the gods, the air moves evil spirits and thieves All will perish..."
Cao Ren watched seriously. As Taoist Xu recited the incantation, the dozens of flags arranged suddenly emitted faint golden light. The dots were connected into lines, forming a golden Bagua formation, which almost covered the entire garden. shrouded.
The gloomy air in the courtyard quickly dissipated in the golden light, the depressing feeling dissipated, and the temperature seemed to rise a little.
And the dark aura shrouding the brows of Du Chuling, Lu Luo and others also dissipated.
Everyone in the Du family breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of comfort all over their bodies. They all expressed their gratitude to Taoist Xu and praised his magical powers.
"These methods of exorcism look really good." Cao Ren was a little envious. He only knew how to hack and slash, but he didn't know these powerful methods of exorcism at all.
"It's just some small spells to exorcise evil spirits, and it has to be coordinated with the operation of magic weapons. Brother Cao's sword and a fierce ghost are the real thunder methods." Xiao Yunzhan curled his lips, not taking Xu Yanzhi's methods seriously at all.
"Speaking of magic, do you know how to cleanse?" Cao Ren suddenly asked.
"Cleaning is the simplest spell in the world of immortality. Brother Cao doesn't know it?" Xiao Yunzhan was a little surprised.
Cao Ren shook his head.
"What a coincidence, neither can I." Xiao Yunzhan grinned.
"you will not?"
“Do you think I’m someone who needs to learn the art of cleaning?”
Cao Ren was silent, he really didn't need it, after all, even the clothes he wore had their own cleaning function.
Daochang Xu cleared the Yin Qi in the yard and received a lot of thanks from Du Lan and others, which was very useful to him.
After eating the banquet carefully prepared by the Du family, Taoist Xu began to prepare for subduing the evil spirits at night. He arranged many formations in the yard and took out stacks of talismans, just to ensure that all three ghost babies could be killed tonight. Kill.
Cao Ren and Xiao Yunzhan, under the leadership of Du Chuling, wandered around the Du Mansion. They made tea by the stove in the garden, fed the fish in the small lake, and even went to the stables to lead the horses for a walk.
Chang Wei followed along like a follower, looking at Cao Ren who was chatting and laughing with Du Chuling. If eyes could cut people, Cao Ren would be like a plate of minced meat.
After finding a gap, Cao Ren and Xiao Yunzhan chatted for a few words alone.
"Brother Cao, what are we going to do tonight? Is it just watching the show?"
"The mission this time is to eliminate evil spirits and restore Miss Du's innocent reputation. Taoist priest Xu is the main force in eliminating evil spirits, and the two of us are responsible for revealing the truth. In addition, we must find the murderer behind the frame of Miss Du, prove that the ghost baby has nothing to do with her, and restore her innocent reputation. ." Cao Ren said.
"I have a clue."
"I have some clues, but I have to verify it at night..."
After dinner, it was getting dark, and everyone gathered in Du Chuling's villa.
Du Chuling and the two maids were staying in the back room, Cao Ren and Xiao Yunzhan were sitting by the bed, Chang Wei and Xu Daochang were sitting at the door. Du Lan was worried about leaving his daughter alone with everyone, so he also sat in the room.
"The two fellow Taoists have received a good mission. They can successfully complete it without exerting any effort." Xu Yanzhi looked at the two of them and said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
He spent a lot of money on setting up this ghost-catching formation today.
But the Chang family's relationship goes all the way to the palace. He has benefited a lot over the years, and it's time for him to contribute.
"Taoist priest has great power. We are lucky to meet you." Cao Ren said with a smile.
"Ah, yes, yes, what the Taoist Master said is correct." Xiao Yunzhan nodded perfunctorily.
When Xu Yanzhi heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise. He was full of yin and yang words but couldn't say them out. He could only pretend to be profound and touched his goatee, and said calmly: "Let's see how I catch ghosts in a while."
Cao Ren nodded, showing some expectancy at the right time.
"Little baby, ride a big horse to find your mother, find your grandma's house, kiss your mother, don't open the door, sharpen your scissors..."
At this time, the candlelight in the room suddenly dimmed a bit, and the crisp nursery rhyme suddenly sounded from the yard, slipped in through the crack in the door, and seemed to be singing in everyone's ears.
In this silent night, it seemed a little penetrating.
"Ghost... the ghost is coming!" Chang Wei trembled with fear and subconsciously leaned towards Xu Yanzhi.
"Brother Cao, this kid's singing is a bit scary." Xiao Yunzhan also moved to Cao Ren's side, holding a stack of talismans, diamond talismans, exorcism talismans, etc. in his hand.
At the partition screen in the room, three heads were crowded, secretly looking outside.
"Miss, can Director Xu and the others really catch those brats?" Lu Luo asked in a low voice.
"If Taoist Master Xu can't do it, Young Master Cao can definitely do it." Du Chuling stared at Cao Ren, full of confidence.
The permeating children's voices echoed in the courtyard, erratically moving left and right.
"It's alright." Xu Taoist Master stood up slowly, holding the mahogany sword in his hand, with a somewhat immortal air.
Snapped!
The window was suddenly blown open by a gust of cold wind, and cold wind poured into the room.
Three pale little heads poked up from under the window, Jie Jie smiled strangely: "I found you!"
