Chapter 62: Miraculous Past (4)

The people who came out were stunned by the sight in front of them. They saw Old Li dragging the young master into the courtyard, while the young master was obviously resisting, yelling something about the demon path and demanding his daughter back.

It was a little dark, and everyone couldn’t see the expressions of the two clearly, but from their appearance, it seemed that Old Li was dragging a struggling living person, as if he were strolling in the garden, while the young master could only be dragged along passively, his footsteps unsteady, obviously his body had weakened to a certain extent over the past few days.

“Master, do you think you should go and persuade the old Taoist to release my son?” Mrs. Zhao couldn’t help but say this out of concern for her son.

Grandpa Zhao pondered for a while, then shouted, “Light the lanterns! Follow him!”

He did not stop Lao Li, and followed him.

Old Li led the young master of the Zhao family to the courtyard, where he stood exactly where he had drawn the complicated rune and thrown the jade the morning before. People followed and surrounded him, and after a while, three servants carrying large lanterns also arrived, illuminating the area.

The young master of the Zhao family was still making a fuss, yelling “Shu’er” and “Shu’er” and the like. If it weren’t for the fact that Old Li had pinched one of his wrists, he would have gone for his knife again.

The Zhao family had long been used to hearing him chanting about Shu’er, so when they saw him restrained like this by Lao Li, they did not stop him.

They thought to themselves, “I hired someone to catch a demon, but why is it my own son who’s been caught?” They were worried about their son, but he was suffering so much that they could only bear it with great difficulty. They hoped that Old Li could cure the family’s “root of the disease.”

Old Li didn’t care about the looks of others, and casually said to the Zhao family’s son, “In a moment, your Shu’er will appear here by herself. Let’s just wait and see.”

As he spoke, he pointed to a place, which was exactly where he had drawn the runes in the morning.

When people heard what Old Li said, they were half-believing and half-doubting. Could this Taoist really conjure a woman out of thin air? Everyone knew that Shu’er was the woman the young master was talking about.

Only my master and three others knew that Shu Er was a weasel, but no one said anything.

Li Li-hou was a steady man with a hint of arrogance, so he didn’t bother to explain, and the facts spoke for themselves!

My master was busy chatting with Chen Liren.

“Your master is really something!” My master sighed sincerely.

“That’s right. What’s this? We’ve seen many more horrible and strange things. We’ve never seen anything that my master hasn’t solved. I’ll tell you about it later. And what’s this about my master? Won’t you be my master in the future? Won’t you be my junior brother?” Chen Liren was quite proud.

My master pondered for a while and didn’t answer. Old Li wouldn’t let him take revenge, so he couldn’t let go of this. It was impossible for the fish to die and the net to break. This was my master’s stubbornness. He just asked, “What’s in that bottle? Why does it turn into a weasel when it touches it?”

“Hey, which demon or monster doesn’t know how to use a trick? My master’s way of saying it is that it affects people’s hearts and causes hallucinations. Each trick has a different way to break it, and there are many things that can break the trick. The most effective way is to guard the clarity of one’s heart, but that’s easier said than done. But there is another way that is most effective against the tricks of demons and monsters, and that is something filthy. The dirtier the better. What my master just splashed out was black dog blood. Hey, if you’re desperate, a bucket of shit will work too.” Chen Liren didn’t take the strange events of the night seriously at all.

“Where is the black dog blood dirty?” My master shook his head and didn’t think it was a big deal.

“Not dirty? What do dogs like to eat the most? They like to eat shit. Is that dirty? And black dog blood has a strong yang energy. All magic is the work of the soul. What about mental power and spiritual power? But the soul is yin, and when yang energy is strong, yin energy naturally weakens. Sometimes, when it comes down to it, magic is just that.

“Why is black dog blood yang?” My master asked with great interest. He couldn’t say why he was interested in this.

“Why? I studied medicine. Let me give you a simple example. In the winter, when it’s cold, you can use a dog’s skull to make soup and soak your feet in it. Not only will your feet not be cold all winter, but it will also cure frostbite. Do you think it’s heavy?” Chen Liren was very patient.

“Didn’t you study Taoism? How did you become a doctor?” My master was very puzzled.

Chen Liren was about to answer, but suddenly heard a burst of exclamations from the crowd, followed by a commotion.

“Here it comes!” Chen Liren was very excited and pulled my master to the front.

My master looked at it and sure enough, a large weasel with a crooked leg stumbled drunkenly towards the place where Lao Li was drawing runes.

People were scared and made way for him, but the weasel didn’t seem to see the people around him, didn’t react, and didn’t avoid people, just walking his own way.

“Did you see it? Your Shu’er is here!” Old Li calmly said to the Zhao family’s son.

The old lady Zhao looked scared, and the young lady Zhao almost fainted. As soon as she saw the weasel, she thought of the furry face in her dream. She was almost certain that it was the weasel she had seen in her dream. When she thought of the furry thing she felt touching her, and when she thought of the body of the person in her dream, the young lady Zhao almost fainted. If it wasn’t for someone holding her up in time, the young lady Zhao would have fainted.

The servants were naturally afraid, but now that there was a master here, and there were so many people, people still stayed to watch the fun, but they couldn’t help but talk about it. Under the light of the lanterns, people looked at the weasel carefully. It was two times larger than an average weasel, and from the top of its head to the end of its tail, the fur was extremely pale yellow, almost white.

“This weasel is huge!”

“Look at its white fur. I heard the old man in the village say that only an old weasel would have that color…”

People were talking, but only one voice stood out, that of the Zhao family’s son, who shouted, “Are you all blind? This is not a weasel, it’s a demon! I saw with my own eyes how he turned Shu’er into this.”

But the truth was right in front of them. Who would believe the Zhao family’s son?

The young master of the Zhao family was in a panic, and he pointed at Lao Li and shouted, “You demon, you have the guts to let me go! I’m going to fight you! I’m going to fight you!”

“Brother, the face I saw in my dream is this one. Master Li is not a demon.” Miss Zhao couldn’t help but speak up to persuade him.

Old Master Zhao looked gloomy and walked over, slapping the young master in the face. “You have really disgraced the family name. You are so obsessed with beauty that you can’t tell right from wrong. You must be willing to be killed yourself and see our whole family killed before you will stop! I will beat you to death, you ungrateful son!”

While he was talking, Mr. Zhao raised his fist and was about to hit the Zhao family’s son, but was stopped by Lao Li: “Mr. Zhao, don’t worry too much. The demon must have bewitched him, and he can’t fight it. He will naturally wake up later. Nothing happens for no reason. Let’s see what happens next.”

Grandpa Zhao sighed, stamped his feet, and finally endured it. However, the Zhao family’s young master was still stubbornly ignorant, staring at Old Li with hatred, but Old Li didn’t care at all.

At this time, there was a cry of surprise in the crowd, because something magical had happened. The weasel finally ran into the rune, but after entering, it began to circle around, unable to get out.

There was nothing blocking it, and the weasel was extremely agile, so how could it not get out? People were amazed and began to praise Lao Li for his skill.

Old Li didn’t care at all, just treating it as normal, not even blinking an eye.

Compared to Old Li’s calmness, the Zhao family’s son was excited. He ignored everyone’s feelings and shouted, “Shu’er, I’m here. Come out, come out!”

“Shu’er, I’m here to save you!” After shouting this, the Zhao family’s son didn’t know where he got the strength, and he actually broke free from Lao Li’s clutches and rushed in the direction of the rune.

Old Li looked at his hands in surprise and said, “The word ‘love’ is only an obstacle to cultivation, but how can the word ‘love’ be so powerful?”

Li-hou and Li-ren were stunned. They couldn’t believe that the weak Zhao’s son could escape from Lao Li’s clutches, even though Lao Li was just randomly holding him.
