After Becoming a Taoist

   Chapter 174 Rui Bird Qing Geng

  Li Dandao opened a book of Shanhaijing: "Let me see."

   "The ancient beasts were mostly extinct in the pre-Qin period. Even if they were plague beasts, there should be signs." Chao Yuanfang felt that Li Dandao was not very reliable.

  Li Dandao shook his head: "Plagues generally start in spring and flourish in summer. Where can there be winter plague? Although mice are active regardless of winter or summer, they shouldn't be like this. Apart from plague beasts, I can't think of anything else."

   "There is also the plague ghost." Chao Yuanfang said: "You didn't say it last time, did you suspect that the blue-faced plague **** Yasha sea ghost didn't leave?"

  Last time I saw tuberculosis, and Chen Dongshi's wife's ghost disease, Li Dandao suspected that there were ghosts and people living in the city, and it was the blue-faced plague **** Yaksha ghost.

   She escaped from the ghosts and spirits released by Zhang Lie, but if she was really here, Zhang Lie should have taken her away when she came to Jingyang last time.

   "If the plague **** and ghost were here, she was seriously injured, and she just took advantage of this plague to recover and even grow. Naturally, she would not give up easily. Maybe she was secretly working a ghost."

  Li Dandao closed the Shanhaijing: "But how do I know where she is?"

  Li Dan asked, "Old man Chao, your cultivation is higher than mine, can you find this plague ghost?"

"cannot."

  Li Dandao ignored him and went to the temple, while Tian Wu and his disciples were dancing.

   His two disciples played the role of the **** of plague, the ghost of plague, wearing leather masks and dressed very brightly, while Tian Wu was dressed as a wizard, holding a ghost whip.

   There were quite a few people watching, and Fuling gave the people talisman water and herbal tea.

  Li Dandao knows a lot about Taoist culture, but when it comes to Wu Nuo, this is ancient, and it is inherited by very few people in later generations, belonging to intangible cultural heritage and folk customs.

  Li Dan asked Xiang Fuling, "Which Nuo play is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

   Fuling said: "Is your face pockmarked?"

"It's not good, I don't dare to come out, this is the soap I used, thorn roots, Poria cocos, Baiji, Atractylodes, plus the snake bone oil you gave me last time, the soothing cream brewed, plus I was in Under the guidance of Old Man Chao, I can use Zhen Qi to get rid of dark blood stasis, and it will be good in just a few days." Li Dan said proudly.

   Fuling gave Li Dandao a white look and explained to Li Dandao: "This play is to drive away the three ghosts. It is a long time ago, and it belongs to the ancient Zhuanxu era."

   "Fight the three ghosts? Which three ghosts are they?" Li Dan asked.

   "The three sons of Zhuanxu, the ancient emperor of heaven, all turned into ghosts after death, and they only did bad things."

   "Three ghosts refer to Zhuanxu's three sons."

   "The first one died and became a plague ghost, also known as a torture ghost, specializing in spreading malaria to humans."

   "The second one is called Ghost Ghost, who lives in Ruoshui. He looks like a three-year-old child, with red eyes and long ears. He likes to gossip, sow discord, and cause family discord."

   "The third one is called the child ghost, whoever has a child will scare the child."

"Because these three ghosts are related to Zhuanxu, just like the maidens who are related to the Yellow Emperor, the gods are not good at killing them, so they invite wizards to dance Nuo opera to drive them away. This custom is similar to that of the New Year's drive away the beast."

   "My father thought that with so many people dying in the city, it was inevitable that a few of them had contracted the plague and turned into plague ghosts, so he performed this Nuo show to expel them."

  Li Dandao saw that Tian Wu's every move was simple and clumsy, with a celestial rhythm, secret chapters of sacrificial sacrifices, and the development of etiquette, from which he could see the changes of humanity.

   Although Li Dandao didn't understand it well, he had goosebumps.

   Looking at it, there are indeed many plagues that turned into green and thin ghosts, who were driven into a fish-catching basket by the field witch and turned into leech leeches.

   I finished it before I knew it.

  Tian Wu took off his robe and was panting a little, which seemed to consume a lot of energy.

  Li Dandao stepped forward to explain his purpose.

  Tian Wu shook his head: "If there were traces, I would have discovered it long ago. It can be seen that she is hiding very deeply, either she is not in the city at all, or she has taken a stranger."

  Li Dan asked, "Then is there any way to identify it?"

   "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

  Li Dandao also made trouble.

   "Green Farming!"

   "Green Farming!"

   But a bird came flying, like a magpie with a blue body, white beak, eyes and tail.

  Tian Wu laughed when he heard the bird call: "The plague will be gone."

   "Blue ploughing bird!" Li Dandao recently studied the recipes of mountain delicacies and seafood, and recognized this bird.

   "There is a bird, its shape is like a magpie, with a blue body and a white beak, white eyes and white tail, the name is green farming, it can fight against epidemics, and its singing calls itself."

  …

  A Qing is a green ploughing bird, which belongs to a kind of auspicious beast.

Until one day, Ah Qing's parents said to him: "Staying with us, there is nothing to do, you eat and wait to die every day, you can't realize your ideals, you are like an iron waste, now you are an adult, it is time to find a spouse."

  A Qing had to leave home.

   Then I heard a certain carrion-eating owl saying that there was a plague here, so he came to realize himself.

   The closer he got, the more noble he felt.

   "Mom! It's a phoenix!" The breath from the blood is called Bainiao Chaofeng.

   "Father and Mother! I'm going to be successful!"

  The green ploughbird fluttered its wings, only to see a human below watching him.

   "Stupid human beings! You, Uncle Ah Qing, are here to save you! Hurry up and offer your tribute! Treat me with delicious food and drink! I'll reluctantly spread the plague for you!"

  Li Dandao and Tian Wu saw the blue plough bird falling on the big tree in the temple, and looked at himself and others curiously.

   thought: "This green ploughing bird is here, how did it solve the plague? Is it a call? Or does it have any function, can it be caught and studied?"

  Fortunately, the green ploughbird will circle the city soon.

  Li Dandao walked quickly and followed the green ploughbird, only to find that the green ploughbird landed in the house of his neighbor Chen Dongshi.

  Li Dandao thought of a possibility, and when he opened the door, he saw a green-faced ghost Yaksha with a splitting headache, with a human skin on the side, it was Chen Dongshi's daughter-in-law.

   That Yaksha was carrying a cupboard on his back, and mice kept running out of the cupboard, but these mice were all semi-illusory, and after three steps they became underground.

   "The mouse cabinet!" Li Dandao recognized this magic weapon, thanks to Li Dandao's childhood animation, Inuyasha, there was an episode of the giant mouse spirit carrying the cabinet, which was used by Naruo to release the rat plague.

  The demon of Yaksha saw Li Dandao and rushed over to kill Li Dandao.

   But the cry of the green ploughing bird gave him a splitting headache, and his legs were sore and numb.

  Li Dandao was angry and angry at this time: "Good, you demon! You actually played with me!"

   Immediately wave the token, summon the demon yin soldiers, and at the same time use the fighting technique, and go forward to fight.
