Fifty-six Xu Warlock

During the Taiyuan period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a magician named Xu Minglun in Youtang Village on the side of Wushan Mountain in Suzhou. He was handsome, elegant in speech, generous in behavior, and courteous to others. He was frail and sick when he was young, and his parents were afraid that he would die young, so they fostered him in Maoshan Taoist Temple.

He became a disciple of the great master Yang Yi. Since then, he has learned a lot. He knows astronomy and geography. He can speak the language of animals, and is omnipotent in magic, medicine, and Yin-Yang Bagua.

Tang Village is located next to a stone lake. Some villagers make a living by fishing. When fishing, they accidentally catch toads. The small ones are released, and the big ones are given to Xu Lan. He raises the toads until they shed their clothes and then releases them. The toad clothes are used as medicine.

, can cure many difficult and miscellaneous diseases. It is difficult for toads to shed their clothes, but Xu Lan can easily do it because he can speak toad language and use toad clothes to treat diseases and save people, and the toads will naturally shed their clothes happily. People from other villages are suspicious at first, but people from Rantang Village firmly believe that it is a toad.

Yes, why?

In the autumn of the seventh year of Taiyuan, many locusts suddenly appeared in Tang Village. They gathered more and more, covering the sky and the earth, forming a locust plague! Seeing that the crops were about to be wiped out, the villagers were extremely anxious and helpless. When Xu Wei saw this, he rushed to the lake shore, holding hands with his hands.

It was in the shape of a trumpet and sounded toward the toads in the lake. After several toad calls, thousands of toads jumped out of the lake, lined up ashore, and set off toward the fields. The villagers were amazed. They had never seen such a grand event in their lives.

.

The roar of the toad army was like thunder. Wherever it went, locusts ate all the locusts, and the locust plague disappeared immediately. The villagers turned from worry to joy, and came to Xu Lan to express their thanks. Xu Lanqian said: "It is not my contribution to eliminate the locust plague, but the toad's contribution."

, I just call my ears, if you want to thank me, you should thank the toad for his strength."

To repay the favor of exterminating the locusts, people in Tangcun Village took extra care to protect the toads and never harmed them. Since then, the locust plague in the Tangcun area has been eradicated, which is amazing! People in Tangcun Village said: Xu Lan can not only sing toad language, but also perform illusions. What's the point?

Because?

One night, bandits from Wushan went down the mountain to commit robbery and broke into Tang Village, intending to rob cattle and horses. Under the dim moonlight and the shadow of swords and swords, how could the villagers dare to resist? The bandits were rampant and the bandits took dozens of cattle and horses and rushed back to the mountain.

Two brave villagers refused to abandon their cattle and followed them quietly. Two miles outside the village, they suddenly saw two bright lights coming from the village. The bandits were horrified to see that a giant python was approaching! Wagging its head and tail, it blocked the way. The bandit leader

Being brave, he stepped forward with his sword in an attempt to scare the big python away. The big python raised its head and spat out a message and swallowed the bandit's head into its mouth. The remaining bandits saw that something was not going well, abandoned their cattle and horses, and fled in the wind.

At dawn the next day, the herds of cattle and horses returned, and the villagers were overjoyed to have found them. Looking at the bandit leader again, he was trapped in a big net, struggling to call for help. Where did the big snake come from? It turned out that Xu Yue's illusion was done. Everyone said this.

It was Xu Yue's contribution. The python blocked the road and drove away the bandits. They all thanked Xu Yue for his magic. However, Xu Yue laughed and refused, saying: "The gangsters committed evil and provoked the Python Immortal. They acted bravely when they saw justice. This is the Python Immortal's transformation technique."

Also, what is my merit?"

People in Tang Village said: Xu Yue not only healed the common people, but also healed the wounds of animals. Why? A villager witnessed it and said that an injured fox came to Xu Yue's door seeking medical treatment. He saw that the injured fox had a large iron nail stuck in its left leg.

The pain was unbearable, and he begged Xu Yue to heal his wounds. Xu Yue pulled out the iron nails with pliers, applied medicine and bandaged the fox. The injured fox lay in his yard and stayed there, like a guard dog, which could not be let go until it recovered. The latter repaid the favor and often held it in its mouth.

The bird eggs are sent to Xu Yue's kitchen.

Xu Yue's deeds spread like wildfire, and his reputation spread far and wide, and he was praised by people all over the world. Xu Yue's parents died early, and he was alone and had no relatives. He had not yet married a wife when he was over 10 years old. Many suitors came to him, but Xu Yue declined them politely.

, saying that he has not perfected his skills and has no intention of starting a family.

At the west entrance of Tangcun, near Wushan, there is a Liu family. The family has a daughter named Min. Min'er is nearly 20 years old.

Min'er has a neighbor, Wang Rui, whose wife is Yang. She has a baby boy under her knees, named Zhao'er. Min'er often goes to Wang's house to hold Zhao'er and play with him.

Deep.

Wang Rui's wife, Yang, was unfortunately bitten by a wolf. Rui hated the wolf to the core and wanted to kill the wolf to avenge his wife. One day, Rui went up the mountain to chop firewood and heard a howling sound in a cave. He entered the cave with an ax and saw two people.

The wolf pups were making sucking sounds, and they were overjoyed and returned with the two pups. The mother wolf returned to her den and saw that the two pups were missing. She smelled them and went to the west entrance of Tangcun, howling with all her strength. When the pups heard their mother's cries, they howled in response.

Xu Yue heard the wolf howling and knew that he was looking for his son, so he went to Wang Rui's house and persuaded him: "Brother Wang, please help me to release the wolf cub back and don't look for trouble." Rui was stubborn and refused, saying: "Thank you for your advice, brother.

The wolf injured my wife, and I am planning to use the wolf cub to lure her to the bait and destroy her together! Please stop meddling." All the neighbors were worried about the wolf and strongly supported Rui's move to get rid of the harm.

Wang Rui did not follow Xu Yue's advice. The next day, the female wolf led the male wolf to the west of the village and hid in the grass, waiting for an opportunity to save the cub. Rui went to the fields to irrigate the fields, and Yang took care of the baby.

Outside the door of the house, Zhao'er was put to sleep. Yang went into the inner room to get something. The male wolf took the opportunity to rush into the courtyard, reached the cradle, grabbed Zhao'er in his mouth, and ran away. Yang suddenly heard the baby's cry and rushed out of the house, only to see the wolf already holding the baby in its mouth.

They were far away, and they screamed for help, but it was too late!

When Wang Rui returned, he heard that Zhao'er had been bitten by a wolf. He was furious and angry at his wife for not taking good care of her. He cursed and beat her with a stick. Neighbors heard the sound and rushed to persuade Rui to stop. They wanted to go into the mountain with Rui and kill the wolf together with weapons to take revenge. Min'er

He advised: "Wait a minute, don't do it rashly. The purpose of the wolf grabbing Zhao'er is to change its cub's ears. If you go into the mountains to look for wolves and attack them violently, the wolf will be enraged and afraid of eating the baby. Both sides will be hurt. How can you keep sending Zhao'er away?"

"What will happen with your plan?" The crowd asked, "What will happen with your plan?" Min'er said, "Today's good plan can only be solved by the sorcerer Xu. He understands wolf language and can negotiate, but must not use force." Rui Gui said.

Said: "I refuse his advice, I have no courage to ask for it." Min'er resolutely said: "I am willing to ask for it."

Min'er and Yang knelt down to beg Xu Yue. Min'er begged and said: "Zhao'er was bitten by a wolf and his life or death is uncertain. I'm afraid that he will die from the wolf's mouth. I beg you to save him." Xu Yue remained silent and divined for Zhao'er.

The hexagram also said happily: "Zhao'er is safe and sound for the time being. He can be saved. Tell Rui that he can go into the mountain and exchange his son with a wolf cub." Min'er kowtowed and asked again: "Sir, he understands the language of beasts. The only one who can save Zhao'er is Mr.

, If you save Zhao'er and return, from now on, my little girl is willing to be your slave and serve you for the rest of your life without any resentment!"

Xu Yue felt Min'er's sincerity and carried the two wolf cubs into the mountain, followed by Min'er and Yang. When they arrived at the cave, Xu Yue howled twice in wolf language into the cave, which meant: I have sent your son to the cave.

, please change it. After waiting for a moment, there was no response in the cave, and there was still no answer when he howled again. Xu Yue thought to himself: The wolf is extremely cunning, and there is a fear of an ambush, so it is impossible to respond. So he howled in the language of a fox,

When the injured fox arrived, he asked Xu Yue what was going on. Xu Yue explained the reason in detail. The fox nodded and entered the cave. The male wolf saw it and knew that there was no ambush outside the cave, so he went out with confidence and returned to the cave with the wolf cub in his mouth.

However, Xu Yue Min'er and Yang waited outside the cave for a long time, but no wolf came out with Zhao'er in its mouth. Yang was extremely anxious, thinking that Zhao'er was dead, and howled at him. Xu Yue let the fox into the cave again and asked why, but the wolf drove him away. Xu Yue

Surprised, he tried his best to howl. After a while, more than ten wolves arrived. Xu Yue explained the reason to the wolves in detail. All the wolves howled loudly into the cave. The meaning was: since the cubs have returned, why not let the babies go?

Going out? It would damage the trust of our wolf clan. Under the urging of the wolves, the male wolf came out, saying that he was afraid that the infant's father would not give up and would violently attack him. Xu Yue promised the male wolf that if the infant returned, he would give up and never attack.

The wolf nodded and returned to the cave. After a moment, the she-wolf carried Zhao'er out. Zhao'er lay on the wolf's back and cried non-stop. Yang rushed forward and hugged her with tears.

Mother and son were reunited, and everyone was very happy, and everyone praised them. Min'er and Zhao'er have no relationship, they are just neighbors. However, at the critical moment, they stepped forward and went to the wolf's den without fear. This is praiseworthy, and Xu Yue received it all the more.

He was so moved that he decided to marry her.
