Chapter 24: Bu Yulang
24, Bu Yulang
It was already dark, and Wang Yuanwai was still soaking in the well, shivering from the cold.
The Liu family came and went between the courtyards, so that he had no chance to climb out of the coffin, and he clutched the well rope with both hands, trying not to sink. He looked up at the mouth of the well and saw the moon climbing overhead, and gradually, the Liu family's voice was gone, and the surroundings were silent, and it was estimated that it was already late at night.
"Ah...... Ah Piao......"
Wang Yuanwai trembled and squeaked, and he didn't dare to wake up the Liu family too loudly, he tentatively called a few times, pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside, and it was still quiet.
He was hungry and cold, and his teeth trembled: "Ah Piao...... Stupid man, hurry, come...... Save your lord......"
Knock Knock Knock –
Suddenly, there was a sound of walking footsteps on the ground, and Wang Yuanwai thought that Ah Piao was coming, and was overjoyed and was about to call him, when he heard the woman's voice.
"Immortal Master, this is the well."
Anyone else? Wang Yuanwai was suspicious in his heart and quickly silenced.
The woman who listened to the voice should have been the fairy child of that night, but it was not the Guanyin woman who came with her, but a strange man. I only heard the man mutter: "Well, the top of this well is facing the Taibai Star, and the bottom is connected to the spiritual veins, it is really a fairy well, but it's a pity that ......"
Fairy Child asked, "What is a pity?" ”
"It's a pity that this is not the main vein of the spiritual vein, so there is always a fixed number every time a stone is turned into gold, and it must be in line with the right time, place and people. If this well is further east by a zhang, located on the main vein, the aura is flourishing, and the magic is more and more effective with half the effort, regardless of the time spell, it will become gold immediately. ”
It turns out that you can also do without spells! Wang Yuanwai was excited to eavesdrop on the secret.
"To the East...... Oh, it's the Wang family next door. The fairy child was very grateful for the guidance of the immortal master, "I originally bought this mansion because the fairy aunt asserted that there was an aura here. I don't want Linggen to be next door, it's okay, when the fairy Gu comes back, I will discuss with her to buy the land in the east and open another fairy well. ”
When the king heard in the well that they were going to buy their spiritual land, he was surprised, delighted, and angry. I was surprised that I didn't know that the abandoned well in my house was where the spiritual veins were located, and I was glad that it was not too late to know now, but I was angry that these "fairy aunts and fairy children" actually dared to beat his idea! I don't want to think about what his status is in Xuzhou Mansion, even Zhizhou has to let him three colors!
Abominable and abominable! Such good things must not be allowed to fall into the hands of outsiders!
The immortal master's beautiful voice was very ethereal, and he agreed with this method: "Very good. However, when the spiritual veins are newly opened, the aura suddenly gushes, which is very likely to cause the vision to provoke criticism. You told the fairy aunt to let her practice in the well for seven days and seven nights, and recite the Diamond Sutra 10,000 times silently, without interruption during the period, let alone disturbed by anyone. Otherwise, the aura will be exhausted, and the immortal well will only become an ordinary well. ”
Wang Yuanwai silently wrote down every word he said.
"The hour has come, and this seat will ascend."
Listening to what the immortal master outside said, Wang Yuanwai looked up again, and a white shadow quickly crossed the wellhead, flying higher and higher, and disappeared in the line of sight he could see, like a cloud driving a fog and slowly moving away. This situation stunned him.
Ah Piao, who jumped to the treetops, turned around and came back, quietly walked around Xiaohe, took off the white clothes just now and stuffed them into her hands. He winked at him, then pointed to the well.
Fairy Child Immortal Master is just a play played by the two of them. In addition to the kung fu of flying eaves and walking on the wall, Ah Piao's ventriloquist is also a unique skill, but the old or the young, the man or the woman, pretending to be a ghost and fooling a few pieces of cake.
"Sir? Master? ”
Wang Yuan was still stunned outside, and there was a cautious call from outside. "Sir, are you still there?"
Wang Yuanwai hurriedly responded: "What is here!" Pull me up! ”
After a lot of effort, Ah Piao finally pulled Wang Yuanwai up, and then helped him climb over the wall and return to the small garden of the Wang family. Wang Yuanwai collapsed on the ground and gasped for breath, and was a little swollen after being blistered all day, and his face was pale and pale.
Ah Piao is still a hard-working and loyal servant: "Master, wash and go back to the room to sleep?" ”
Wang Yuanwai touched his mustache, and looked at Ah Piao with big bean-sized eyes, and finally felt that outsiders were unreliable, so don't tell him about such a confidential matter, not only can't tell him, but also drive him away. So Wang Yuanwai said: "Help me go back, and tomorrow you will go to the street to buy a Diamond Sutra." ”
The next day, Qianqian and Miao Fan returned to Xuzhou Mansion from Wanzhong Mountain, and the two of them went to the place where the cattle were sold, and saw that the donkey seller was still waiting there. Qianqian jumped off the donkey and asked Miao Fan to lead the donkey.
The donkey seller was puzzled: "You are going to ......"
"Don't worry, it's not a return." Qianqian leaned on Miao Fan and said to the donkey seller, "I've had enough fun, I'll give you back the donkey." ”
The donkey seller looked at the reins in his hand and hesitated: "The money ......?"
Qianqian blinked: "What money is not money?" The donkey was originally yours, is there anything wrong with me returning it to you? She didn't mention the money to buy a donkey, and pulled Miao Fan away, "Oh, I'm so hungry, accompany me to have morning tea." ”
The donkey seller understood now, and bowed gratefully behind them: "Thank you two for your help." ”
"Qianqian, you have such a good heart." Halfway through, Miao Fan said this coldly.
Qianqian looked sideways, seeing his sincere handsome face, there was no sarcasm. She covered her mouth and smiled: "Why do you say that?" ”
"The scholar just now, you deliberately helped him, but I was afraid that he would not be able to save face, so I thought of this method." Miao Fan explained seriously.
Qianqian's eyes widened, and she was a little surprised: "You can also see that he is a scholar?" ”
"Hmm." Miao Fan said: "His clothes are shabby but very clean, and he wears a long shirt, not a short shirt that the farmer likes to wear, and the cloth shoes on his feet are not stained with mud, so it can be seen that he is not a farmer in the field." He led the donkey and stood in the corner waiting for someone to buy it, and it was not like the others shouting loudly, indicating that he usually did not speak loudly, perhaps it was the first time he had done such a show of his face, and when he handed me the reins, I saw his right hand, and there was a thick callus on the joint of the pen, and all signs showed that he was a scholar from an embarrassed family. Scholars are generally arrogant and unwilling to receive charity, so they directly give him silver and two taels but are refused, and you want to help him, so you use this method. ”
"Little monk, I can't see that your eyesight is not bad, and you have the potential to do our business." Qianqian was surprised, but she didn't reveal too much, but hugged his arm and looked up coquettishly, "Then guess again, why do I want to help him?" ”
Miao Fan scratched his head: "This ...... Because you are kind, ......."
Qianqian interrupted him with a giggle: "It's not! She stood on tiptoe to his ear, "Don't you think that person just looked a little like you?" Stupid, I'm willing to help him because I like you. ”
Miao Fan hurriedly lowered his eyes, and his ears were red.
"The restaurant has arrived!"
Just when he was flustered by her teasing again, she suddenly let go of him, took his hand and walked into the restaurant. She walked in front, and he didn't see her smile disappear in a blink of an eye, and there was a sad look in her eyes.
It is because of her kindness that she will be harmed......
This is the source of pain, and she will definitely not be kind.
After two days of calm, something big happened in Xuzhou Mansion on this day.
The king of the rich side is missing!
The reason was that Mrs. Wang wanted to make a set of faces, and asked the housekeeper to ask Wang Yuanwai for the key to the account room, but the housekeeper searched all over the house and didn't see the master, and went to various shops on the street, and no one saw Wang Yuanwai. At this time, the housekeeper wanted to ask the master's personal servant, but he knew that the little servant was driven away the day before yesterday, on the grounds that he bought books and bought them expensively, which made the master unhappy, so he simply sent away.
This is indeed what the Iron Rooster can do!
Except for the king, the servants said that they had never seen the master leave the house, and it was impossible for the big living person to disappear out of thin air! Mrs. Wang went to report to the official, hoping that the official could help find it, but last time, Wang Yuanwai and Zhizhou Lin Geng formed such a big relationship, of course, others ignored it, and even wondered if Wang Yuanwai wanted to evade taxes and deliberately hid.
Later, the yamen of Xuzhou Mansion let go, and if they wanted to find someone, they had to prove that Wang Yuanwai did not abscond with money, and first paid all the taxes owed, and they sent officials to investigate the case.
Although Mrs. Wang knew that her husband was a master who valued silver more than life, if her life was gone, what was the use of using it? She asked the bookkeeper to quickly settle the amount of taxes to be paid, and then smashed the door of her small treasury, took out the silver and sent it to the government.
Lin Geng kept his promise, the yamen received the tax, and the officials went out, but the last time the officials were beaten by the Wang family, this time the errands were just for show, sloppily searched the house, took away some "key evidence" such as antiques and treasures, and then went home.
The yamen doesn't care, the family is useless, and the shopkeepers at the bottom have different intentions, and now the Wang family is a plate of loose sand. Mrs. Wang simply told that every day should not be called the earth, and she cried at home every day and grabbed the ground, howling so much that the thousands of people next door were angry, and she wanted to smash the wall to cover her mouth several times.
Fortunately, on the third day after Wang Yuanwai's disappearance, someone took the initiative to come to the door, and it was the Xuanxu Daoist of the Three Qingguan of Wanzhong Mountain.
Xuanxu Dao Chang got straight to the point, shook off the dust, pointed to the royal mansion and shouted: "There is a demon!" ”
This drink shocked everyone, and I saw that the Xuanxu Daoist took off the wine gourd on his back, waved the wooden sword at the door, and then took a sip of the wine in the gourd, and sprayed it towards the gate of the Wang family.
The door, which originally had nothing, gradually emerged in the shape of a ghost, and it was still bloody!
Xuanxu Daoist is still somewhat famous in Xuzhou Mansion, different from the ordinary Youfang Daoist, the people here think that he is a demon hunter with high mana, and he trusts him very much. Seeing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly invited the Xuanxu Daoist into the house, served him good tea, and asked him to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
Xuanxu Dao Chief was a fairy wind bone, and said lightly with his beard: "Wang Yuanwai is not missing, but he has been caught by the magic of the demon, and he can't get out for the time being. But this demon is not an ordinary demon, but a Pixiu demon. ”
Pixiu? Legend has it that the ancient monster beast that only enters but does not leave?
Mrs. Wang is now sick and rushed to the doctor, no matter whether she is a charlatan or whatever, she begged Xuanxu Daoist for guidance. Xuanxu Daoist told her a way: "Pixiu loves money, your Wang family has a lot of money, if you want the king to be safe, you can only break the wealth and eliminate the disaster." Madam, scatter your wealth, the more you scatter, the sooner your husband will come back. ”
In the next few days, the Xuanxu Daoist practiced in the house, and often found the "traces" of demon beasts on the snow-white walls, which were always blood-red. At the same time, Mrs. Wang began to donate family property everywhere, giving all the fields in the countryside to tenants, and the shops in the city were also transferred at a low price, and the silver obtained was donated to the temple, and even gave soup and rice at the city gates.
In this way, on the seventh day, the wealth of the Wang family has been dispersed and ninety percent has been lost, Mrs. Wang has fallen into the reputation of a living Bodhisattva, and the Xuanxu Daoist has finally found the whereabouts of Wang Yuanwai.
He walked to the small garden of the royal mansion, pointed to an abandoned well covered with wooden boards, and swore an oath: "The king is hidden here by the demon beast." ”
The family members will be skeptical: "Impossible, we have all been here to look for it, if the master is inside, why don't you make a sound?" ”
"When you open the well, you will know the truth and falsehood." Xuanxu Dao Chang is confident.
Sure enough, the wooden board was lifted, and the family jumped down to see that it was the dying king outside, and he was muttering something in his mouth, as if it was a scripture.
“…… That's what I smelled...... All rejoiced, and believed and pursued...... 10,000 times, I'm done! Finally practiced the magic of turning stones into gold! Haha
The family members resisted the smiling Wang Yuan out of the well, only to see that he had lost a lot of weight and his cheeks were sunken. When Mrs. Wang heard the news, she cried and rushed over: "Master-"
But the king paid little attention to her, but picked up stones everywhere and threw them into the well, dancing and shouting: "Gold, gold! That's a lot of gold! ”
Everyone: "......"
Sure enough, it was the evil of the Pixiu demon!
It is rumored in Xuzhou Mansion that Wang Yuanwai is crazy, and he has been crazy twice. The first time was that he had been missing for seven days, and after he was found, he kept talking about turning stones into alchemy, and his words and deeds were crazy. The second time was because he knew that in order to find him, his family scattered thousands of family fortunes, which made him completely mad, and he actually went to the yamen to complain, saying that someone had lied to him.
In the willow house, Qianqian was cutting cloth to make clothes for the little monk.
"Who rarely lied to him?" Qianqian took the scissors and clicked, "The spell is what he wants to learn, none of us forced him, the well is also drilled by himself, we didn't tie him up, and he also volunteered to recite the Diamond Sutra ten thousand times!" Except for himself, no one has ever seen a little stone into alchemy, there is no human evidence, no physical evidence, not even a defendant, who is he suing, Guanyin Bodhisattva? Also, the Xuanxu Daoist only took the honorarium he should get, and the rest of the Wanguan family wealth was voluntarily dispersed by Mrs. Wang, who is to blame? ”
Xiaohe threaded the needle and thread, and clapped his hands and applauded: "The girl is so amazing!" But this time...... You don't think you're getting any benefits, are you? ”
Ah Piao rolled her eyes while holding the grass: "Will she want benefits?" It's hard to buy a shop! ”
Taking advantage of the Wang family's cheap shops, Qianqian bought more than a dozen, which can be said to have made a lot of money.
"I'm saving my dowry for myself."
Qianqian was not ashamed at all, and smiled and said to everyone: "My little monk is going to Jiangzhou Mansion Gongyuan to take the exam in August, let's go together." ”
Xiaohe had a bitter face when he heard it: "It's moving again......"
Miao Fan was coming out of the study, Qianqian saw him, pursed his lips and smiled: "Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog." ”
