“Hey, uncle.” Miao Sanding seemed hurried. The last time he came to Longhu Mountain, he did not see the head priest. “Uncle, there is another brother on the mountain.”
“I know,” the old Taoist priest said. “I am afraid that he is already in danger. Let my younger brother accompany you to visit the ancient tomb.”
It was out of his expectations that there should be such a grave in the vicinity with such a terrible thing. Everyone was curious as to what was inside it.
“Thanks,” Miao Sanding said. “What about the injured brother?”
“He has been treated,” the old Taoist priest said. “We hope that he can survive.”
“Uncle, we have also been to the grave and have been hurt.” Miao Sanding suddenly thought of Wang Yao. If he could cure him and his brother, he could probably cure the priest. “Although it was not so severe, the source should be the same. And, someone can treat this disease!”
“Really? You know, this is not an ordinary disease,” the old man said.
The disease was actually beyond the scope of ordinary pathology.
“It is true,” Miao Sanding said. “I will set off immediately for Qi province and ask him to come to treat brother.”
“Can’t you make a call?” the old priest asked.
“No, I have to go and ask him personally,” Miao Sanding said. “Let my younger brother stay and accompany the uncle to the ancient tomb.”
“Ah?” Liu Sifang was shocked.
“Well, I will buy a ticket immediately,” the old priest said.
Soon, everything was arranged. Online shopping was a simple and fast way to do things. Now, even Taoist priests were advancing with the time.
The group divided into two groups. One was to go to Qi province to invite Wang Yao to Longhu Mountain to treat the disease. The other one went to the mountain village to deal with the ancient tomb.
…
In the Mountain village, two people looked around very carefully.
“Oh, I heard that this ancient tomb is very evil,” a man said. “There are already a few people dead.”
“Evil? Why are you afraid of that? See? I have got it from Longhu Mountain.” A man with a thin face like a monkey was holding a triangular folded paper that could be used to get rid of any evil. “It is useful in driving any ghost away.”
“Oh, is grave robbery illegal?” the other man asked.
“No need to think so much,” the man with the thin face said. “Do you want to buy a house in the city, marry a wife, and pay the hospital bills for your parents?”
“OK, enough of that,” the other man said. “Let’s go!”
The two men cautiously walked toward the work shed under the mountain.
“Hey, why is it so quiet?” the other man asked. They didn’t even hear any insects or birds. “Hey, do you feel really cold?”
“Can you shut up?” the man with the think face asked.
He suddenly patted his chest. The pocket on his shirt was burning. The folded paper had burnt to ashes.
The colorful strips covering the outside the work shed suddenly shook.
The men’s faces went pale from shock, and their minds went blank. After recognizing what happened, the two men ran toward the mountain. Nothing was more important than life, not even the ancient tomb, fortune, house or a wife.
Two men climbed to the top of the mountain and went down the other side to a different village. They sat beneath the big tree at the entrance of the village and gasped.
“We are alive, still alive!”
They didn’t dare to take a look at the mountain. As for what was in the ancient tomb on the mountain, the meant didn’t even want to think about it.
“I’ll go to the village mayor and talk to him,” the man with the thin face said. “They can’t let people get close to the mountain.”
The sky was gradually darkening. A car drove into the mountain village and stopped. There were four people in the car. Three of them were in Taoist robes.
“Uncle, it is here,” Liu Sifang said.
“Let’s go and see,” the head Taoist priest said.
“Ah, go now?” Liu Sifang was shocked.
“Yes, now,” the head priest said. “Why do you ask?”
“It’s night, and there are ghosts on the mountain,” Liu Sifang said.
“We are here to eliminate the demon and evil,” the head priest said.
“But, these things are even more terrible at night, aren’t they?” Liu Sifang asked.
“That is why we have to take a look,” the head priest said before heading straight into the mountain.
“Hey, uncle, wait for me,” Liu Sifang said.
It was a very quiet night. The mountains seemed even quieter. When they came to the foot of the mountain, the bell hanging over the waist of the head priest rang.
“It is really hard to cope with it,” he said.
Under the mountain, there were stones and trees. The old priest stopped at a stone and attached a piece of paper to it. The bell at his waist seemed calmer. He continued to walk around the mountain. He stopped at another stone and stuck another piece of paper to it. The noisy bell became weaker. In all, they turned around the mountain for half a circle attaching four sheets of paper before going up the mountain.
Liu Sifang swallowed his saliva. He could faintly see the work shed. He thought, Don’t come out, don’t come out, don’t come in front, don’t.
Fortunately, the head priest did not continue to move forward. Instead, he circled around the shed and placed eight pieces of paper on several sides of it, including on trees and rocks. Along with the four sheets of paper under the mountain, he had formed a battle array.
“Let’s go,” the head priest said.
“Oh, good!” Hearing that, Liu Sifang signed with a relief.
The group went down the mountain and found a peasant household in the village to stay overnight.
Meanwhile, Miao San decided to fly to Dao by plane overnight and take a taxi directly from Dao to Lianshan County. The taxi felt was traveling fast.
“Are you in a hurry since you are traveling so late at night?” the taxi driver asked.
The drive was about two hours long. Since it was so late, small talk could help alleviate his sleepiness.
“Yes, very urgent.” Miao Sanding said. He was indeed very anxious because it was a life-and-death situation.
“Where do you come from?” the taxi driver asked.
“Hongzhou,” Miao Sanding replied.
“I have been there,” the taxi driver said. “Isn’t that where Sanqing and Longhu Mountain are? Taoist Holy Land, right? Do the Taoist priests there really know how to make a spell?”
“Yes,” Miao Sanding said. He did not want to chat with the driver.
When he arrived in Lianshan County, it was already after 3 a.m.. It was not easy to find a hotel that late, but he finally found one. After sleeping for less than three hours, he got up before 6 a.m. and took a taxi to the mountain village. By dawn, he was waiting outside the clinic.
Zhong Liuchuan, who came out to run, saw him and watched him carefully, before going back to the mountains to exercise.
Miao Sanding lit a cigarette. He looked at his watch every few minutes. Oh, isn’t it almost time to get up? He hesitated, but he eventually picked up the phone to call Wang Yao.
Wang Yao did not get angry even though the call was too early. He knew Miao Sanding’s intentions. After learning that his visitor was waiting, he went down the mountain.
By the time he saw Wang Yao, Miao Sanding had already smoked five cigarettes. “Sorry to trouble you.”
“Did you come in the middle of the night?” Wang Yao asked.
“Yes, it is relevant to life,” Miao Sanding said.
“Come on.” Wang Yao opened the door of the clinic and poured a glass of water for Miao Sanding.
He could guess that he had not eaten anything in the morning, so drinking tea was naturally inappropriate.
“I came to invite you to pay a home visit.” Miao Sanding drank the water.
“Home visit?” Wang Yao asked.
Mia Sanding told him the story.
“Three people have died?” Wang Yao did not expect the situation to be so serious.
“I am afraid my brother has been in danger, and there is another on Longhu who is still in danger,” Miao Sanding said. “Could you please save their lives? I will meet all your needs.”
Wang Yao calmly looked at the man in front of him, who was obviously anxious. To be honest, he was still very curious about the matter—not only about the unique weird disease but also about the so-called “ghost.” He really wanted to have a look.
