Chapter 225: Watching the Exorcism on the Spot
We walked along the tree-lined path by the lake all the way to the entrance of the Lakeside Building, where we happened to meet Taoist Master Zhenyou and a few others.
"My dear friend, Taoist Master Lei Xu has already explained the situation in the center of the lake to us, and has asked someone to prepare a guest room for you. It's still early, so please take a rest first."
The Taoist priest looked at her with a kind look, then turned around and instructed the young disciple beside him,
"Linglong, take your friend to settle down."
"Yes, Master."
Dai Qing looked at her watch. It was just noon and there was still some time before dark. She really needed a room to rest.
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome."
There are actually evil things in the Xuanmen territory. How can we tolerate this?
The talent pool in the Taoist sect is dwindling, and there are only a few people with real abilities. Even for simple exorcism, one must be cautious.
Dai Qing had no idea what they were thinking, so she followed Linglong up to the seventh floor. The first room on the right hand side of the elevator was the guest room prepared for her.
"Master Dai, this is a room specially prepared for you. If you need anything, just tell me and I will prepare it for you."
"No, it's fine."
Although the room was simply furnished, she was just taking a nap there, so it didn't matter whether it was good or bad.
"You go ahead and do your work. I'll lie down for a while."
"Okay, I'll bring you lunch later." Linglong smiled shyly, "We make lunch ourselves. Does the master have any dietary restrictions?"
"No, just do whatever you want." Dai Qing looked at her. Her big eyes with distinct black and white, innocent expression, and regular features showed that she was a hardworking and down-to-earth girl.
After Linglong went downstairs, Dai Qing sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the furnishings in the room, thinking about how to get rid of the evil spirit at night.
I don't know how these Taoists exorcise evil spirits.
She would ask Taoist Lei Xu what the specifications were for the altar he had prepared, and see if he could help her get rid of the souls in the jade tablet.
Until she heard a knock on the door, Dai Qing got up to open it. When she saw Jingting standing at the door with red eyes, Dai Qing was stunned. She thought Linglong had brought her lunch.
"What are you doing at my door?"
"Why haven't you left yet? It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been scolded by the master."
"It's ridiculous. You provoked me. Why don't you look for the reason in yourself and stop staring at others? No wonder you are so stupid that you let others lead you by the nose."
Dai Qing looked at her, thinking of what she had seen in the park that morning, and felt a little sympathetic towards her.
A good couple was snatched away by someone.
I guess he is still kept in the dark at this moment.
"Instead of looking for trouble with me, you might as well care about the people around you, so as not to lose face and status. No one will pity you even if you cry."
"What do you mean, I need your pity?"
Jingting was stunned, her eyes flushed with inexplicable anger, but the look on her face was still proud.
"Master has always loved me. If you hadn't put the blame on Taoist Master Zhenyou, Master wouldn't have blamed me. In the final analysis, it was you who didn't take responsibility and didn't dare to accept the challenge."
"Don't think that being able to read faces is amazing. You are still far from being a master of the Xuanmen sect. We in the Xuanmen sect are destined to be different from ordinary people. Your curiosity is useless. You have seen my junior sister, she is diligent and studious, works hard, and never complains. But in the end, because of her low talent, she still cannot be favored by the master."
Dai Qing: “…”
Why tell her all this? What does it have to do with her whether she has the shortage or not?
No wonder he was cuckolded, he must be extremely stupid.
Maybe he was really spoiled and hungry, and everything around him was on fire, but he didn't even realize it and had the nerve to come to her to find trouble.
"If I were you, I would go back and wash my head right now to clear my mind."
"you……"
"Fairy Jingting, why are you here?" Linglong came over with a lunch box and looked at her curiously, "The food has been delivered to you."
Jingting glanced at Linglong and glared at her before leaving. Dai Qing rolled her eyes at her without any hesitation.
This inexplicable hostility.
Lunch is a simple meal of one pork and two vegetable dishes, plus a bowl of egg drop soup.
Dai Qing simply propped up her stomach and stayed in the room to rest. When she opened her eyes, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
Looking at her watch, Dai Qing was surprised. She didn't expect that she had slept for so long.
After washing her face, Dai Qing took the elevator downstairs. When the people gathered at the door saw her, they all greeted her with a smile.
"The altar has been set up. When the time comes, we can open the altar and perform rituals to exorcise the evil spirits."
Taoist Lei Xu held the Buddhist dust in one hand and stroked his beard with the other, looking towards the lake in front of him.
"It starts at 8pm."
Dai Qing had never seen the ritual of opening the altar, so she waited patiently along with the others.
When the time came, everyone moved to the lakeside.
At this time, the dark air on the lake was thicker than during the day, and the night was cooler.
Taoist priest Lei Xu, wearing a Taoist robe and holding a magical instrument in his hand, stood in the middle of the altar and began to perform a ritual.
Mingjing helped him at the side and watched him skillfully prepare various utensils. This was not the first time he had done this.
Dai Qing stood nearby and discovered that there really was a Taoist priest, also dressed in a Taoist robe, standing ready to fight.
Taoist Lei Xu held a Buddhist dust in his hand, stood in front of the altar and began to cast a spell. His movements were smooth and the incense candles on the altar ignited spontaneously without fire. In just a moment, a whirlwind blew up over the entire lake and rushed towards the altar.
Taoist Lei Xu opened his eyes, swung the Buddha dust in his hand violently, and shouted, "Evil beast, why don't you surrender?"
As the roar ended, Taoist Lei Xu took out a talisman with his left hand.
Dai Qing discovered that the talisman paper was hanging in the air above the altar, and suddenly it floated to the willow tree in front of her, and it spontaneously ignited. As the flames rose, a sharp scream sounded in the air.
Taoist Lei Xu waved the Buddha's dust, muttered something, and offered another talisman. This time the talisman paper was accompanied by a thunder sound, and a small lightning flashed in the night sky with crackling sounds.
Another scream followed.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up by the lake, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.
"How dare you! Submit yourself to the law soon." Taoist Lei Xu danced the Buddhist dust in his hand vigorously and chanted a spell. People around him were on guard.
Dai Qing looked at the freshness, took a step back, and subconsciously moved her wrist.
There really was a Taoist who frowned, silently took a step forward, and made hand gestures with his left hand, as if he was ready to fight at any time.
At this moment, the evil spirit that had been beaten twice suddenly exploded with anger, and a ball of black energy condensed into a human form. Judging from his appearance, it was a young man.
"Oh no, the evil spirit is increasing, be careful~"
Following Taoist Master Zhenyou's reminder, everyone subconsciously took a step back and assumed a fighting stance.
Who would have thought that the black gas that had just condensed into a human form would rush directly towards Taoist Lei Xu's front.
Taoist Lei Xu bit his index finger and smeared the blood on his forehead. At the same time, he threw out the Buddha dust. With a bang, the black shadow was knocked away.
The human figure was also broken up, but it was full of sinister and murderous energy and condensed into shape again in the blink of an eye. When it pounced down again, somehow, it pounced towards Dai Qing's position.
