Chapter 739 Old Bodhisattva
Chapter 739 Old Bodhisattva
The old scholar is already the most knowledgeable person in the village, and he is also an old scholar. Although he has an old-fashioned temperament, he has a high reputation.
Sun Wenyuan didn't find out any useful information, so he had to find another way and start from the family close to the sorcerer.
Weddings and funerals are about setting an auspicious time and date, but Sun Wenyuan was excluded from this.
Curing diseases and exorcising evil spirits is when one's true abilities are demonstrated.
Sun Wenyuan went to the river early in the morning and hid in the hollow belly of a big willow tree, waiting for dawn. Then women, old and young, who were washing clothes, came to the river one after another to wash clothes.
From afar, you can hear greetings between acquaintances, and then they start chatting about family matters, which soon turns to topics such as whose young wife ran away, whose child is sick, whose husband is a coward, and whose elderly person is difficult to take care of. Inevitably, there are some strange stories in the mix.
The sound of hammering clothes and the sound of women flirting with each other came one after another, but soon disappeared as the sun rose higher.
Sun Wenyuan stayed in the hollow belly of the big willow tree for five or six days. When he found that there was nothing new, he crawled out and went to look for the owner of the strange story.
Some of them are still alive, and some are no longer alive.
The first person Sun Wenyuan visited was a little kid playing in the mud. He was about seven or eight years old. He was poking the mud under the persimmon tree in front of the door with a stick. His snot was running down his mouth, and he didn't even bother to wipe it.
Sun Wenyuan watched quietly for a while. The child seemed to sense something and looked at him, grinning at him, and snot went into his mouth.
Sun Wenyuan's eyelids twitched and he turned and left.
This child has a high intelligence, but his mind has been damaged. As for the reason for the damage to his mind, Sun Wenyuan has no way to judge, as he is not yet that advanced.
According to word of mouth among outsiders, he was possessed by an evil spirit and was saved by a sorcerer who performed an exorcism.
Sun Wenyuan investigated several more companies, but in the end he gained very little.
There is no way around it. If one wants to trace back to the events that happened in the past, one must either have enough vision to see the traces left by the magic, or have enough Taoist power to deduce the reasons for how things developed.
Sun Wenyuan did not have these two things, and it was too difficult to judge based on the person's own condition. The only thing he knew was that they respected the Shenhan family.
For example, the family of the mentally impaired child believed that if the shaman had not exorcised the evil spirit, the child would not have been saved. Obviously, staying alive is more important than not being very smart.
From this point of view, it seems that they are a group of witches and sorcerers with real magical powers, and not "murderers for money" as the old scholar believes.
But Sun Wenyuan knew that the old scholar was right. Although he had never dealt with this sorcerer, he had seen them dumping corpses into the ravine.
Although the situation has changed now, Sun Wenyuan has learned some things from the Fox Courtyard, but the fear and dread in his heart when he saw him that year is still fresh in his mind.
After calming himself down, Sun Wenyuan decided to give it a try.
I still went to the boy's home because his mind was damaged, he lacked resistance and was most susceptible to magic.
When it was dark, the boy was about to close the door, but Sun Wenyuan waved at him and said, "Come."
The boy grinned and followed Sun Wenyuan out.
Suddenly the child was missing, and the family went out to look for him everywhere after discovering the situation.
"Dog!"
"I saw the dog go that way, and I wanted to bark at it, but when I turned around, it disappeared."
A villager who came home late pointed the way, and Gou Zi's parents went there immediately. The villagers who were alarmed also helped to look for the dog.
Finally, we found the dog by the river, sitting on the shore, motionless.
"Dog!"
Gouzi's mother shouted, and then she heard Gouzi turn his head stiffly, then gave a weird smile, and then fell backwards to the ground.
The stiff and weird smile scared Gouzi's parents, and the villagers who came to help were also shocked.
"Is he possessed?"
"Go ask the old Bodhisattva to take a look."
What the shaman's family worships is the Bodhisattva, but no one knows the name or surname of the Bodhisattva. When people mention it, they only know it as "Bodhisattva" with the word "old" added to show respect.
Gouzi's father carried the dog back home, and Gouzi's mother went to ask the old father of the shaman's family for help with tears.
The old man is the oldest sorcerer in the sorcerer family. Most of his teeth have fallen out and he has a leak in his mouth when he speaks, but he is in good health.
Normally, it was his eldest brother who went out to do things, so he rarely came out. He would only come out personally when the eldest brother couldn't solve the problem.
The dog's mother cried, "Daddy, you can't just ignore it. You saved my dog, and now it has been possessed by evil spirits again. You can't just ignore it!"
The old man had already lain down. He was helped out by his youngest son. He coughed and said, "I'll go and take a look."
The eldest and second sons packed up their belongings, and the youngest son put the indigo Taoist robe on the old man, barely adjusted the lotus crown on his sparse head, and supported the old man to Gou Zi's house.
There were quite a few people inside and outside Gou Zi's house, most of them were there to watch the fun, and there were also a few relatives helping out.
As soon as the old man came over, the crowd made way and shouted, "Here he comes, here he comes, the old Bodhisattva is here."
When the old man entered the room, he saw that the dog had woken up and was sitting on the bed, not crying or making a fuss, not laughing or talking. His dark eyes were staring at him, which made people feel creepy.
The old man frowned, knowing that he had encountered the real thing.
Genuine goods and fake goods are not the same thing. If you encounter genuine goods, you will get into trouble if you are not careful. He was like facing a great enemy, and he winked at his three sons, who immediately started to clear the place.
Everyone in the room was pushed out, and Gouzi's parents wanted to stay, but were stopped.
"This evil spirit is hard to deal with. The old Bodhisattva cannot be disturbed. You just wait outside."
After keeping everyone outside, when I turned around, I saw that the old man had already spread out the cloth bag, and his three sons brought a table and made a simple altar.
The old man offered incense and said, "Great Immortal, Bodhisattva, the child is ignorant and if he offended you, please be magnanimous and I will ask their family to apologize."
The incense was lit, but there was no response.
The old man added: "If you have any requests, just tell me and I will make sure they are met."
Still no response.
The old man glanced at his eldest son and said, "Please ask the old Bodhisattva to mediate."
The eldest son respectfully took out a statue of Bodhisattva from his backpack and placed it on the altar.
The old man bowed and said, "Old Bodhisattva, please help us make peace."
The statue of the old Bodhisattva seemed to be smiling. The three sons did not see it, but the old father saw it. A black shadow jumped out from the Bodhisattva statue and fell on the dog.
The next moment, a puff of white smoke came out from the dog's body, and someone in the wind cursed: "What old Bodhisattva, it turns out to be an old ghost!"
The sound was so loud that even though the old man was hard of hearing, he could hear it clearly and his face changed immediately.
"Old Bodhisattva, don't let him run away!"
I have been on a business trip for several days. Sorry QAQ
