Chapter 42 Asking what is the situation in the world?

The night is still dark and silent, in the dark night when you can't see your fingers, when you encounter something incomprehensible, people will inevitably be afraid, such as you, such as me, Li Zhai at such times. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the room, the needle drop could be heard, everyone held their breath, and the cold sweat cooled Bai Feiyun's back and wet Xie Lan's palm. After a long time, Liu Yingjie took a step forward with difficulty: "You, what is it?" ”

In the past, this is obviously a curse, but at this time, it is the voice of everyone.

There was a "woo" sound, the yin wind was heavier, and everyone was motionless, for fear that if there was a slight movement, they would end up dead, those monks and Taoists, usually boasting no matter what, but when it came to the end, they were silent, let alone touching the so-called magic weapon of catching ghosts and eliminating demons. Xie Lan came out of the crowd, and he obviously felt that something cold was slowly approaching: "Don't move, if you move again, I'm welcome." ”

The whining sound was even more urgent, and the thing locked in Xie Lan's spiritual sense really stopped, but seeing the unresponsive crowd, it stopped for a moment, and it "walked" over again and again, very abruptly, Xie Lan felt a very sad emotion, but he had to be responsible for the people behind him, and the spiritual sense had locked on a spirit talisman in Zhai Yun's bracelet, and drank again: "Don't come over again, I'm really welcome." ”

The cold thing trembled, and it looked like it was still going to move forward despite Xie Lan's warning.

When everyone was confused and didn't know why, when the cold thing was trembling and ready to move forward, when the spirit rune was quietly buckled in Xie Lan's palm, (when the mountain peak has no edges and corners, I'm sorry, when I write this at night, I have to imagine the scene at that time, and occasionally my scalp is cold, hehe, insert a sentence or two) A loud shout suddenly came: "Knife - down - stay - people!" ”

The door was kicked open with a bang, and an old man jumped in, and by the dim light, he noticed that there were no swords or other weapons, and felt that he seemed to have shouted something wrong just now, so he shouted to the motionless crowd again, "Stop!" Ignoring the fact that those people had already froze, not to mention the body, even their thoughts were blank for a while.

He said towards an empty place: "Don't worry, there is an old man in charge for you, don't worry." ”

Everyone was confused again, only Xie Lan looked at the old man on that side, and said in his heart, it was really a strange person, because the empty place was the place where the gloom and coldness were.

"Old fairy, are you awake?" Liu Yingjie hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Nonsense, don't you see? Also, hurry up and drive these bald donkeys away from the nose, dare to come out and deceive without any Taoism, this time you are lucky, next time you are careful how you die I don't know. ”

Liu Yingjie commanded, and dismissed them with the silver two that he had promised, and after a while, only the old man was left in the room, Liu Yingjie, Zhang Laosan, Mrs. Qing, and Bai Feiyun and Xie Lan, the old man stared at Xie Lan: "Why are you getting more and more useless, how is your spiritual power exhausted?" Also, didn't your master teach you some ways to get rid of ghosts? I won't be able to open the eyes of the sky, if I am one step late, won't this ghost be destroyed by you. Then your sins will be great. Remember to thank me afterwards. ”

The old man picked up the wine glass he had brought with him, took a sip, and sprayed it into the clearing, and a white figure gradually turned from virtual to real. Several exclamations came in unison: "Madam! ”

Bai Feiyun didn't believe in the way of ghosts and gods until this time, and he was stunned.

It was a beautiful woman in palace clothes, although her clean face was a little white, but perhaps because of the wine fog, it gave people a feeling of seeing flowers in the fog. She doesn't look very pretty, but she has a natural sense of relatability.

She blessed the old man, and a whisper came out, "Thank you, old fairy, for saving me." Then he blessed the people again, "I have worked hard all these days." ”

Bai Feiyun's face turned pale and asked, "This, what the hell is going on?" ”

"The frog at the bottom of the well has never seen a river, so it is ridiculous to say that there are no rivers." The old man snorted.

Mrs. Li paused, as if thinking about where to start, and after a while, she said:

"The slave family has been in poor health since he was a child, and after many famous doctors have been diagnosed and treated, he has not been well. Until one day I met a down-and-out old Taoist, I gave him some food, and I actually got a precious formula, and I heard the Taoist priest say that this method is beneficial to my illness and let me practice well, so I drifted away. ”

"At that time, I was eight years old, and since I practiced the Dharma every night, my health has also improved slightly, and in the end I am no different from ordinary people, and even my memory is better, and then according to the wishes of my family, I married my husband, who treated me very well, and I think I will be happy in the future." The woman's flat tone exuded endless contentment, and Xie Lan seemed to see a faint shyness on her white face.

"Originally, I didn't live more than twenty years of my illness, but now I have twenty more years of happiness, what am I not satisfied with, but I am afraid, afraid that after I leave, the Xiang Guild will be lonely and will do stupid things. So as early as eight years ago, I inspected a lot of women, and finally chose Qingqing as my personal maid, in fact, I chose a person to replace me for Xianggong. Qingqing, I'm sorry. ”

"Madame's words are serious, your kindness to me is difficult for Qing'er to repay, and besides, it is an honor for you to choose a slave and maid." Qingqing made a big gift. Mrs. Li smiled and continued:

"It's a pity that in the past eight years, no matter what I say to Yu Xianggong, Xianggong has not agreed, even if he moves out of the excuse that he can't have children, he can't change Xianggong's determination in the slightest, until I am seriously ill, I forced Xianggong to agree with the ridiculous excuse of Chongxi and married Qingqing." Mrs. Li sighed, and Xie Lan looked at her expression, which made people feel indescribable. Happiness, distress, regret, satisfaction, sadness, or both.

"It's a pity that it's not as I wanted, maybe it's because of the cultivation method given to me by the Taoist priest, so after I died, I was surprised to find that I was able to leave my body, watching Xianggong kneel in front of my spirit, not eating or drinking for days and nights, I think, in this life, there is no vain, and I can go with peace of mind, because I know the green girl very well."

"But in the next few days, Xianggong's actions surprised me, I saw him in the evening while drinking medicine, secretly chewing Shanyang ginseng, the Li family has a very wide business, and the medicinal materials are naturally involved, and Xianggong's medical theory is also quite solid, even I know what the consequences of those few flavors of medicine plus Shanyang participate in the meeting, how can he not know? Well, there is only one explanation for this, Xianggong doesn't want to live anymore. ”

Although the ghost had no tears, the listeners were moved, and Qingqing couldn't cry anymore.

"Ask you, what should I do with a soul thing, so that the heavens and the earth should not be spiritual, the heavens and the earth are not spiritual, and the heavens and men are separated, and I can only watch Xianggong die step by step?"

"I can't do it, I'm sorry Qing'er, no matter what I tried to do in those days, I just couldn't give you a little bit of news. It scared you a lot, don't you blame me? ”

"Madam, it's Qing'er who is too stupid, it's all Qing'er's fault."

"Fortunately, this has attracted a lot of monks and Taoists, I think, these people with mana should be able to help me a thing or two, as long as I can let everyone know my fair heart, even if my soul is scattered, what am I afraid of? It's a pity that most of these are charlatans, borrowing my Li Zhai's benevolence and righteousness, and defrauding money, my Li family is rich, but it is also me and Xianggong who earned back every penny, so I naturally want to scare them. ”

"Fortunately, Brother Liu worked tirelessly to ask for help, and finally let me discover a slightly different character." Speaking of this, Mrs. Li looked at Xie Lan, Xie Lan was surprised for a while, his face was slightly hot, and he thought that he almost didn't give you a talisman just now. Fortunately, Xie Lan glanced at the old man.

"There's an instinctive fear of him. I think he should be a master of Taoism. However, he gave me a really terrible feeling, and I didn't dare to look for him directly. It's been quiet for two days, but Xianggong's body is not as good as day by day, can you imagine this kind of torture, the farthest distance in the world is just like this, I can't stand this feeling, watching my beloved go to a dead end step by step, I am obviously around but there is no effect, it is really uncomfortable. In this case, it is better to die again, and if it is right, it will be my luck. I was going to be two days late, but I couldn't see the young girl suffering, she had already paid too much for me and my Li family, fortunately, my luck was good, thank you to the old fairy. ”

Mrs. Li saluted again, and the old man said calmly: "No need to be polite, I have drunk a lot of the good wine stored in your cellar, and speaking of which, I still take advantage of it." After a while, the old man asked again:

"What I don't understand is, even so, why didn't your infatuated husband not be martyred, but instead bent so much?"

"Xiaoyan Kingdom is the law of the dynasty, one husband and wife die, and the other party is martyred, and the death is different." Bai Feiyun said faintly, he saluted Qingqing: "Fang is my abruptness, Mrs. Wangqing forgives." ”

"Lady? Lady, lady, you wait for me, I'll be looking for you right away. Li Yuanwai came to the door at some point, looking at the familiar face, two lines of tears rained down.

"Xianggong, why are you bothering?" Li Yuanwai opened his hands and wanted to hug his wife into his arms, but he hugged him empty, looking at the scene of the two staring speechlessly, even the old man couldn't bear to look at it anymore and quietly left the room.

Later, follow the red-eyed crowd and leave some time for their husband and wife.

Out of the back house, Qingqing knelt down at the old man, "Old fairy, you can think of a way to help the old lady." ”

"How can this matter of the Heavenly Dao cycle be changed by manpower?"

"Aren't you an immortal?"

"What about immortals, they can't see through this world either. Asking what is the situation in the world, the straight man dies and dies. The old man sighed and walked into the distance, and Qingqing felt a gentle force lift him up, and he couldn't kneel anymore.

Xie Lan looked at this scene and said: "Mrs. Qing, the old fairy has agreed, don't worry, good people have good rewards, I believe that the old fairy will have a way." ”

"Really?" Qingqing's tears turned into joy.
