Chapter 4 Flame Vent

It turns out that the so-called south of the city actually refers to the south of Chang'an County. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There are fertile fields here, and there are endless fruit trees, because it is autumn, the leaves are yellow and some are red and green, colorful, very beautiful.

The coachman ran one after the other on the loess road, raising two clouds of yellow dust.

"This is where Cui Hu's inscription poem is." Yu Wei pointed ahead.

Only then did Su San understand that this large area of fruit trees was a peach forest.

Thinking of what Cui Hu saw back then, it must have been very beautiful when the peach blossoms were in full bloom here.

It turned out that the Tang Dynasty poet Cui Hu once made a poem "Title Capital City Nanzhuang": Last year, in this gate today, the peach blossoms on the human face were red. The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze.

This poem reminds people of the splendid peach blossoms, the beautiful women who shine with the peach blossoms, the young scholars who knock on the door and ask for water, and the abrupt loss who has nowhere to find beauty, like a slender hand, which plucks the softest heartstrings in people's hearts.

Su San's gaze slid from the peach forest, and he sighed in his heart, he didn't know if he could find Luo Yin, if he left Xi'an, it would be more difficult to go west along the way, and I was afraid it would be even more difficult to find people.

"Ahead is the Shen family's mansion!"

The coachman pointed to a spot hidden in the peach grove.

The Shen family was built on a mountain bag, and walked up the stone steps, and met three or three people on the way, talking about what kind of exorcism and other topics were in their mouths.

When I arrived at the door and listened to everyone's discussions, I realized that there was a ghost exorcism ceremony, and it was actually the old lady of the Shen family who invited the monks to come over and set off the flames.

This flame mouth is a Buddhist ritual, and the flame mouth is also known as Mianran. It refers to the hungry ghost in hell, whose body is thin, the throat is as thin as a needle, and the mouth spits flames, Buddhism thinks that this is the reason why the deceased was too stingy in life, so that there is such a retribution. Holding a ceremony to release flames to transcend evil spirits is also to accumulate merit for the dead.

Su San asked: "It turned out to be a flame outlet, I don't know which deceased it was for." ”

An old man said in a low voice: "I heard that it is the grandmother of the Shen Mansion. ”

Yu Wei was stunned: "Isn't it Shen Liang's wife?" ”

The old man nodded again and again: "Exactly, it's strange to say, this Young Master Shen believes in foreign religions, and the Shen family actually set off flames for the eldest young grandmother, it seems that foreign religions are still not good." ”

Yu Wei looked at Su San: "I really didn't expect that Shen Liang's wife had passed away, this young grandmother Shen I had met once back then, it was really impermanent." ”

When Su San heard Yu Wei say this, his worry about Luo Yin increased a little, it is indeed the impermanence of life, and it is necessary to grasp the present.

The two men stood in the doorway, watching a black sedan stop with a clatter.

A man in black got out of the car and walked up the steps briskly.

When Yu Wei saw this person, he hurriedly shouted, "Joseph, are you okay?" He spoke in English, and he spoke quickly, and the man hurriedly looked over to the crowd and saw Yu Wei in the crowd at a glance.

"Yuwei, when did you come? Why don't you call in advance? ”

Yu Wei was a little embarrassed, if he hadn't heard the owner of the small restaurant talk about it today, he really wouldn't have remembered that there was an old classmate here.

Young Master Shen took Yu Wei and Su San into the Shen family, and the door was slammed shut. The old man next to him said: "This person is not authentic, it turns out that he is a friend of the eldest young master of the Shen family, and he pretended not to know anything just now." ”

"Joseph, I just learned from the crowd that the festival should be changed." Yu Wei was a little embarrassed, he came to the door recklessly, but he didn't expect to meet his old classmates, but he was someone else who encountered such a thing, and he didn't know what to say.

"It's nothing, it's been more than half a year since Uchiko died, and God called it."

Shen Liang made a gesture of please: "Please, this monk who set off the flame is in the backyard." ”

Su San and Yu Wei glanced at each other, very embarrassed.

It seems that this Young Master Shen has already seen that the two of them are coming to join in the fun. Yu Wei hurriedly diverted the topic: "You have seen Luo Yin recently?" ”

"Yes, in the morning."

Shen Liang nodded, and suddenly understood, "Oh, you're here with him?" ”

As soon as he heard that Luo Yin was indeed in Xi'an, Su San's eyes lit up and asked, "Where does he live?" ”

Shen Liang looked at Su San, and Yu Wei hurriedly introduced that this was Luo Yin's friend.

"He is now at the Peace Hotel, and he said that he would have to wait a few more days in Xi'an, why, aren't you together?"

Peace Hotel! Su Sanxin said, sure enough, it was still Luo Yin's style, he went all the way west to adventure, and he also paid attention to style, and he stayed in a big hotel when he entered the city.

As he spoke, he had already come to the moon gate in the backyard, and the sound of a monk's chanting came, and the wooden fish rang and rang.

Su San stared at the scene in the courtyard with wide eyes, she grew up in a church school, and she had never seen this traditional religious ritual, so she was very curious.

Yu Wei's family had already done something similar, and he didn't have much interest in the flame outlet. As he walked, he asked, "I heard some gossip and said it was ......"

Yu Wei paused, not knowing how to describe the incident.

Shen Liang smiled bitterly: "Let's say that my house is haunted." This matter is in an uproar, and now even a flame outlet has been rumored to be a practice to exorcise ghosts, and the three of them have become tigers, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me. ”

"What the hell is going on? Could it be that you have offended someone? ”

Seeing that Su San was looking at it with relish, Yu Wei whispered to Shen Liang: "This Miss Su is actually a famous private detective, if you are really in trouble, you might as well admit it, we may be able to help." ”

Shen Liang sighed and whispered in Yu Wei's ear: "Haunting, in fact, I don't believe it, although I also believe that there must be Satan in this world, but Jasmine, she will not be the devil's attendant, and it is impossible to provoke Satan." It's just that my mother is superstitious, and she has to do excessive things to feel at ease, which also makes the haunting thing very loud, and I am afraid that my teaching position will be affected. ”

Although Su San's eyes were staring at the mages with hats on the Yankou Hall who looked like Tang monks, his ears were still paying attention to this side, and he asked on the side: "Mr. Shen, what happened?" I think you can be a priest, which shows that the Shen family is still very open-minded, and Mrs. Shen has repeatedly done strange things about God, and I think she must have encountered difficulties. ”

Shen Liang listened to the mage's chanting, looked at the family members standing on the side with pious faces, shook his head and sighed, "Please come with me, it's too noisy here to speak." ”

Su San and Yu Wei followed Shen Liang to the study, Shen Liang asked the maid to pour tea, closed the door and said, "My mother has been saying that she has seen Jasmine's ghost for half a year, which disturbs her heart. ”

Jasmine is the name of Shen Liang's wife, the dead grandmother Shen.

"With all due respect, Mr. Shen, is there a festival between your wife and Ling Tang?"

Shen Liang hesitated and replied, "No." ”

"If not, why did Mr. Shen hesitate?" Su San seemed to be smiling.

"That'...... Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along, and some bumps are always inevitable. Shen Liang replied, "Besides, Jasmine is a child of God and should forgive everything." ”
