Chapter 80: The Opening of the Altar
"I heard that today is an auspicious day for the zodiac, and the ancestor invited the Taoist master of the Ascension Cloud Temple. I'm doing things in the front office right now. "Yalian has never stopped with a mouth from early in the morning to now. Yun Bi stood quietly aside, pouring tea and water, since she came to Qiansuju, she rarely took the initiative to talk to Shi Manman, but Yalian was a master who couldn't keep her mouth idle.
"I also heard the second girl of Mo Yuanju say that a few days ago, the wives and daughters of several families disappeared mysteriously, and they suddenly disappeared at home. Girl, do you say it's strange? "Yalian babbled.
"Got started?" The stone vines murmured.
"What did you say, girl?" Arrene asked.
"It's okay, Yunbi, you go to Moyuanju to talk to Gongzi, I have something to find Lu Guang." Stone vine road.
Yun Bi agreed, turned and left.
Yalian was stunned for a moment, her face was embarrassed, and she seemed to have something to say.
"Huh? Something? Shi Manman saw Yalian's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and said suspiciously.
Yalian gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and walked to the door and looked out, as if looking for someone. Then he turned around and closed the door and walked to Shi Manman, and suddenly knelt down.
"Girl, the slave does not ask you to believe what the slave says. What the slave has done to you, the slave knows that you are clear. These days, the slave knows that you are a good master. The slave has a saying, and may have her own guesses, but the slave has to say it. ”
Shi Manman never thought of asking Yalian to be loyal to him, but just regarded her as the first step to integrate into the Xiao family. Now that Yalian said such things to her, how not to surprise her.
"You say." Shi Manman didn't help the other party up, but just put down the hand of the cheek gang.
"The girl has been taking the little girl next to her son with her these days, and she has already given birth to some gossip. The girl is about to marry into the Xiao Mansion, and such broken words will be passed into the ears of the master or the ancestors, and she is afraid of extraneous branches. What's more?? Someone with a heart may take advantage of this incident to the detriment of the girl. Yalian said what she had been thinking in her heart for the past few days.
"Do you know anything?" Shi Manman asked.
Yalian bit her lower lip, "It's all the slave's guess, I can't count them." After some struggle, she still spoke.
"Just say, I have my own judgment." Shi Manman seemed to have a general direction in his mind.
"Yunbi can't be trusted." Yalian organized in her heart for a long time, and organized these five words.
"Got it." After a moment of silence, Shi Manman slowly spat out such a sentence.
Yalian was inexplicable, the girl agreed, but she still didn't believe her words.
"Girl, the slave remembers what you said, 'The master humiliates the servant to death.'" The slave is your person, and the slave will not and cannot harm you??"
Yunbi is Xiao Lei's maid, and Yunbi has been taking care of Xiao Lei since she was a child. At this moment, if Shi Manman misunderstood her, thinking that she wanted to provoke a conflict between Yunbi and the future Young Lady Xiao, she would definitely be betrayed.
And she thinks that Yunbi will definitely be the aunt of the son in the future, and when she says this at this moment, isn't she guilty of sowing discord.
So after Yalian said everything, she panicked when she saw Shi Manman's plausible attitude.
A soft wattle held up Yalian's forehead, which was about to touch the ground.
"Get up, I'm in my own way." With a hint of helplessness in his words, Shi Manman asked Yalian, who was kneeling on the ground, to get up.
When Yunbi brought Lu Guang over, Yalian secretly glanced at Shi Manman uneasily. Her face was calm, unangry and unangry, as if she had never said what she had just said.
Yalian's words somewhat reminded Shi Manman, she was in the world, and she had to pay attention to the male and female defense.
But at this moment, it was not good to send people back by calling Lu Guang, so he thought about it and asked, "Are you literate?" ”
Lu Guang shook his head.
Shi Manman walked to the table, picked up the wolf pen and wrote a paragraph on the white rice paper, picked up the paper and blew it and folded it and handed it to Lu Guang.
"Give this piece of paper to your son-in-law, and he will understand. This should be done??" Stone vines looked into the antechamber. She reminded her so obviously, I don't know if the stupid roe deer in front of her will understand.
Lu Guang nodded innocently and took the rice paper in Shi Manman's hand, he was told by Xiao Lei not to run to the front hall early in the morning, and the reason was also explained. At this moment, Shi Manman reminded here, and he nodded knowingly.
??
In the front hall, a middle-aged man with an ancient fairy style has a long beard, his long hair is tied at the top of his hair, and he is coiled in a mixed bun. A gray-blue robe seemed to have been rinsed many times and turned a little white.
With a solemn countenance, he meticulously examined the ritual vessels placed on the altar. He looked up and pinched his fingers, looking unfathomable.
"Dao Chief, can you figure out where there is a demon in your home?" Grandmother Xiao asked anxiously.
Since she was in the Taoist temple, the Taoist chief pointed out that there were demons in her family, and her first reaction was as absurd as Xiao Jin when she first learned that she asked the Taoist to subdue demons.
If she didn't say whether there were demons in the family, how could there be monsters if she relied on her affirmation of Shi Manman's identity, if there were cultivators from Cangjie Mountain in the family.
But when the Taoist chief told the Xiao family one by one about the bloody disaster, and the prison disaster all coincided, she had to shake the thoughts in her heart.
Shi Manman's identity is her own guess, because she saved Xiao Lei again and again, she had a preconceived impression of her as a good person, and she never thought that Shi Manman would be a demon.
But all the troubles of the Xiao family seem to have started after Xiao Lei brought Shi Manman back to the Xiao family. happened one after another, which made Grandmother Xiao's identity of Shi Manman inevitably shake.
The Taoist chief was invited not only to confirm whether the identity of the stone vine was different, but more importantly, to exorcise evil spirits.
Even if Xiao Yuan didn't agree with Grandmother Xiao's fanfare, he couldn't resist Grandmother Xiao's tough attitude.
The long-bearded old man shook his head, "Don't worry, don't worry, the old man is calculating the most suitable time and direction for opening the altar." As he spoke, he asked a few little Taoist priests who followed him to change the direction of the altar in front of him, and the direction was facing the courtyard of Xiao Lei and Shi Manman.
Seeing this, Grandmother Xiao's heart seemed to be immersed in an ice pool.
"Rise to the altar!" A deep voice came from the mouth of the elder of Changhu.
Everyone present in the Xiao family was shocked by this voice that seemed to be able to penetrate the power of the soul.
Then everyone heard Elder Hu pick up the prepared peachwood sword from the table, and silently recite it in a very fast voice. Then he pointed his sword at a small yellow paper figure on the table, and the paper figure immediately stood up, slowly rose into the air, and flew towards the courtyard of Xiao Lei and Shi Manman.
"Keep up." As soon as Changhu Lao Dao drank to a few little Taoist priests beside him, he raised his sword and chased after him.
"Quick, quick, follow the Taoist." People who had never seen such a miraculous sight reacted only to see the long beard's clothes disappearing around the corner. Grandmother Xiao hurriedly called her subordinates to follow.
