Chapter 57 Lower Door Teeth

  After my mouth was pried open, something immediately clamped onto my lower teeth. It was very hard and I felt it should be a pair of pliers.

  After that thing clamped down on my lower front teeth, I heard a crisp "crack". After the crack, I felt my lower front tooth fall out, to be exact, it was pulled out.

  It's said that pulling teeth should be very painful. But what's strange is, I didn't feel any pain at all. It just felt like the tooth wasn't a part of my body to begin with.

  After pulling out my teeth, the hands released my mouth and disappeared. Tragically, after those hands released my mouth, I was frozen in place and couldn't move, so I also couldn't close my mouth.

  At this moment, I suddenly remembered the "Qian Kun Jing". Now, no one can save me, only I can save myself. So, I silently recited the "Qian Kun Jing" in my heart.

  Unfortunately, I have silently recited the "Qian Kun Jing" many times in my heart, but my body is still completely immobile. The Qian Kun jade on my chest is still icy cold, without any signs of warming up.

  Because I couldn't think of any other way, I could only pin all my hopes on the Qian Kun Jade and the "Qian Kun Scripture". Therefore, that night, I kept reciting the "Qian Kun Scripture" there.

  After I unknowingly recited the "Qian Kun Jing" countless times, the sky finally began to brighten. I also don't know if it was because of the dawn that those dirty things retreated or because the "Qian Kun Jing" started taking effect, but the Qian Kun jade on my chest finally warmed up a bit.

  However, although the jade has warmed up, my body is still icy cold, just like that frozen pork, and I couldn't move at all.

  After the sky brightened up, probably because I hadn't gotten out of bed yet, my mom pushed open my door and walked into my room. I knew that by now my mom had already prepared breakfast, and she came into my room to wake me up to eat it.

  But as soon as my mom entered my room, she was shocked stiff. At that time, I was lying motionless on the bed, with my mouth wide open and a large patch of saliva had already soaked through the pillow.

  "Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei, what's wrong?" My mom rushed over and squatted beside my bed, shaking my body while anxiously shouting.

  At that time, I was like an ice sculpture, not only was my whole body chilled to the bone, but all my joints were also fixed in place and couldn't move at all. So when my mom shook me, it was like shaking a reclining statue.

  No matter how loudly my mom shouted, I didn't respond with a single word.

  My mom shouted for a while, and my dad came in too. After seeing my appearance, my dad first checked my pulse. After confirming that my heart was still beating, my dad told my mom that I might have been possessed by an evil spirit, and this matter could only be solved by going to find the old Taoist priest on Bamboo Mountain, as he was the only one who had a solution.

  However, calculating the time, my master, Zhangshan Old Dao, has only been out for twenty days. Before he left, he had already told my mother that this time, he would be back in at least a month. The most important thing is that Zhangshan Old Dao did not tell anyone where he was going this time. Therefore, even if we go out to find him, there's nowhere to look!

  Finding someone was always a hassle back in the day. If it were now, everyone would have a mobile phone and no matter where my master, Bamboo Mountain Taoist, had run off to, I could just give him a call and he'd be back. So, technological advancements really do bring great convenience to people's lives.

  My master, the old Daoist of Bamboo Mountain, was not around, so my mother had to come up with a second-best suggestion, which was to invite that Daoist priest Mao again. Although his skills were far inferior to those of my master, the old Daoist of Bamboo Mountain, he did manage to make me better for over ten days after performing the ritual on me last time.

  My mother thought that if this time, the Taoist priest would do another ritual for me and take care of me for a dozen or so days, my master, the old Daoist Zhangshan, should be back by then. That way, I could get through this ordeal.

  My dad agreed with my mom's suggestion. After all, distant water can't put out a fire nearby, so it's better to solve the urgent problem first and let me temporarily get away from danger, which is the most important thing at present.

  Just as my mother was about to go out, the voice of my master, Zhangshan Lao Dao, came.

  "Little Fly, is Little Fly at home?"

  My mother followed the sound and looked over, on a small road still several fields away from our home, and found my master, Bamboo Mountain Taoist.

  "Dao Zhang, Xiao Fei is in trouble! He's now like being frozen, can't move at all, and can't speak either." My mom yelled out my situation to my master.

  My master, Bamboo Mountain Old Dao, immediately took off running after hearing my mom yell those words. And let me tell you, although my master is an old man, when he runs, his speed is no slower than that of a young person.

  To know, my master Zhu Shan Lao Dao, although not like those martial arts masters who can travel lightly and cover thousands of miles a day. But his speed is absolutely much faster than ordinary people's.

  After all, my master Zhu Shan Lao Dao needs to chase ghosts when necessary. Ghosts can run much faster than humans, so if my master Zhu Shan Lao Dao's leg strength is not good enough, he won't be able to catch them.

  From the time my master, Zhu Shan Lao Dao, started running from the fields to my home's entrance, a distance of about 500-600 meters, he used less than half a minute to arrive. You should know that my master, Zhu Shan Lao Dao, was running on uneven terrain, not flat roads. Therefore, his speed was incredibly fast, and it's unnecessary for me to elaborate further.

  My master, Bamboo Mountain Taoist, as soon as he arrived at my home, went straight into my room.

  After seeing my appearance, my master Zhu Shan Lao Dao asked my parents in a very angry tone.

  "Are you looking for a Taoist priest to perform rituals for Xiaofei?"

  "Uh-huh." My mom responded with a murmur, then somewhat embarrassedly explained: "Xiao Fei was being pressed down by a ghost, and you weren't around, so I went to invite Master Mao."

  "Ah! Lu Dajie, you almost got Xiaofei killed!" My master, Zhangshan Lao Dao, sighed and said: "Originally, with the Qiankun Jade I gave to Xiaofei and the Qiankun Scripture on his back, even the most powerful ghost wouldn't be able to harm him. Even if a ghost had found Xiaofei, it could only create some illusions for him at most. But you invited that useless Taoist priest, Mao, who not only didn't help but also spat out filthy things and polluted the Qiankun Jade on Xiaofei's neck, causing it to lose its effect. It was because the Qiankun Jade lost its effect that Xiaofei was haunted by those fierce ghosts."

  My master, Bamboo Mountain Taoist, said as he stroked my face with his hand. After my master, Bamboo Mountain Taoist, touched my face, a miraculous scene occurred, and my mouth actually closed.

  As soon as I saw my mouth shut, the expression on my master Zhu Shan Lao Dao's face immediately relaxed a bit.

  "I've been feeling uneasy in my heart for the past few days, and I kept thinking that something might happen to Xiaofei, so I rushed back ahead of time. Luckily I did, because if I had come back two hours later, not even a god could have saved Xiaofei." said my master, Zhangshan Laodao.

  As soon as I finished listening to my master Zhu Shan Lao Dao's words, my mother almost fainted from fright.

  "Xiao Fei is okay, right? Can you bring him back, Dao Zhang?" My mom asked anxiously.

  Actually, my mother was also scared by Master Zhushan's words, otherwise she should have seen it earlier. At this time, Master Zhushan's expression is very relaxed. In other words, when it comes to saving me, Master Zhushan must be confident and I will not come to harm.

  "Don't worry, Aunt Lu. With me around, Little Fei will be fine." My master said to my mom.

  After saying this, my master Zhu Shan Lao Dao started reciting scriptures. As for what scripture my master was reciting, neither I nor my parents could hear it clearly. However, the effect of the scripture that my master recited was indeed immediate and effective.

  After my master had chanted for about five minutes, my fingers could move. Ten minutes later, my limbs were free again. After my master finished chanting all the scriptures, actually, my master only chanted for about an hour, I was able to get out of bed and walk smoothly.
