Jinxiu was originally a little confused because of Zhu Youzhen's words in the lobby, how could she be in the mood to guess with Zhu Youzhen at this time, she turned her head angrily, and didn't look at Zhu Youzhen and said: "If the son wants to say it, just say it, if you don't want to say it, I don't want to guess." ”

Zhu Youzhen dug a pit for himself, but Jinxiu didn't take the stubble directly, and didn't even give him a step, so he had to ask himself and answer: "When I was in Daci Pavilion in the morning, wasn't Xiu'er curious about the eight views of the upper valley?" Ben Gongzi didn't come to explain it to Xiu'er. ”

Jinxiu said: "I was curious at the time, but now I am not in the mood to listen." ”

Zhu Youzhen was about to say more, but he heard a knock on the door with a "tuk tuk", and then he heard Luo Yang's voice outside the door, "Fifth brother, are you busy inside?" Lu Shusheng has something to ask you for. ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen heard it, he knew that this Lao Luo was deliberate, and his quiet touch was probably in his eyes, he glanced at Jinxiu, and did not say any more words later, so he had to walk towards the door.

opened the door, Zhu Youzhen saw Luo Yanghe and Lu Xiangsheng standing outside the door, only to see Lu Xiangsheng said with embarrassment: "Lu Moufang just wanted to discuss some things with Zhu Gongzi in Zhu Gongzi's room, Luo Gongzi said that Zhu Gongzi was in the splendid girl's room, and Lu wanted to come back later......"

Luo Yangxing saw Lu Xiangsheng's spitting appearance, he didn't care about this, and said bluntly: "I'll just say that the fifth brother has nothing important to do now, if there is anything that needs to come later, you look at the fifth brother's neatly dressed appearance, and he is not busy with something, if you have anything important, just say it quickly, I can only help you get here." After speaking, Luo Yangxing turned around and ran.

Zhu Youzhen also ignored Luo Yangxing, and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "I don't know what Brother Lu wants to discuss with me?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "If it is convenient for Zhu Gongzi, why don't you move to my room?" ”

Zhu Youzhen thought about it, this is indeed not a good place to discuss things, he nodded and then turned back to the Jinxiu in the room and said, "Xiu'er, Childe has something to do now, I'll talk to you later." ”

The splendid scenery in the room let out an inaudible "um", Zhu Youzhen stepped out of the door and closed it from the outside, and then walked away with Lu Xiangsheng.

The two returned to Lu Xiangsheng's room, and Lu Xiangsheng poured a cup of tea for Zhu Youzhen, and then said: "Zhu Gongzi is going south to Suzhou this time, but he is preparing to go south economically?" ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't know why Lu Xiangsheng asked this question, so he said, "What does Brother Lu mean by this?" From here to the south of Suzhou Mansion, isn't Jinan a must-pass place? ”

"Because of this, I want to discuss with Zhu Gongzi to see if I can bypass Jinan, go south through Yanzhou, go south through Yanzhou, Lu passed through Jinan when he went north, and now Jinan is a place of right and wrong, if Lu goes back to Changzhou in Jinan, it doesn't matter, but there are Zhu Gongzi and Jinxiu girl in this trip, if you want to pass through Jinan smoothly, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Zhu Youzhen was puzzled and said: "As far as I know, the drought in Shandong has not had such a big impact on Jinan, why did Brother Lu say that he wanted to bypass Jinan and go to Dongchang Mansion and then pass through Yanzhou?" Whether it is Dongchang Mansion or Yanzhou Mansion, the natural disasters are much more serious than those in Jinan. And why is it not easy for me and Xiu'er to get through Jinan? ”

Lu Xiangsheng sighed and said regretfully: "Jinan should be Shandong's last reliance, but now it is...... Alas, it was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. ”

Zhu Youzhen frowned and asked, "What's going on?" Brother Lu told me in detail. ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said, "Zhu Gongzi has heard of Mr. Cangming Li Panlong?" ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, he didn't know what Lu Xiangsheng meant when he mentioned Li Panlong, this person has been dead for decades.

Lu Xiangsheng continued: "The governor of Shandong is Li Linpu, the grandson of Li Panlong, this Li Linpu is also a good official, and he is well-known for his filial piety, but the matter is precisely in this filial piety. Now the old lady of the Li family is the wife of Mr. Cangming, and now she is nearly 100 years old, I heard that the old lady of the Li family was also a great person before, and he was still a first-class edict of Long Qingye. Now that he is getting older, he is more and more kind and kind, this old lady saw that Shandong has been suffering from natural disasters for many years, thousands of miles of red land, and starvation is all over the ground, and her heart can't bear it, while taking out her own savings to help the victims, while praying to God to worship the Buddha and pray to God to bless the people of Shandong, in this case, there are three people who claim to be Laoshan Taoist priests to find the old lady, saying that the three of them can ask the three Qingdao Daozun to descend the decree to carry out the clouds and rain. ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "If there is a drought, if it can really rain down, whether they are really capable or pretending to be ghosts, it is a merit." ”

"That's true, I don't know what means the three Laoshan Taoist priests used, they really asked for a light rain from the sky, whether it was the old lady in the governor's mansion or the people of Jinan shouted miracles, but the rain didn't even stop before the time of a stick of incense, the old lady and those who watched the three Taoist priests begging for rain couldn't help but be disappointed, and the three Laoshan Taoist priests said that the rain of Sanqing Daozun was originally going to rain for a day and a night, but there was evil in this Jinan Mansion, and Sanqing Daozun stopped the rain in a fit of anger. Until when Jinan will be eliminated, when will it rain again. ”

"And then?"

Lu Xiangsheng took a sip of tea and continued: "The people of Jinan Mansion were somewhat convinced of the miracles of the three Taoist priests Buyu, but when it came to the evil thing, the old lady of the Governor's Mansion didn't believe it very much, but after the three Taoist priests showed a few miracles again, even the old lady of the Governor's Mansion was convinced, and the three Taoist priests really found out the evil. ”

Zhu Youzhen asked curiously: "Really found out the evil?" How did they find out? ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "When I passed through Jinan Mansion, I saw those three Taoist priests use their methods, although I don't believe in those ghosts and evil theories, but I can't figure out how they did it. ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "You say and listen to me, I have also met the Taoist priests in the rivers and lakes, see if I can guess their methods." ”

"At that time, because it was far away, I didn't see it too really, but I saw the Taoist priest holding the rune paper and wooden sword and waving the mantra for a while, and then the rune paper spontaneously combusted without fire, and a green evil ghost appeared above the heads of those who had fallen into the evil spirit."

"I have a general understanding of what you said, but I haven't actually seen it, and I'm not sure if what I think is correct, but if that's the case, I think those three Taoist priests are just cheating some money, why do you say that Jinan can't go?"

Over the years, the three demon Dao have recruited a lot of believers, and the old lady of the Governor's Mansion is the most loyal believer, not only built a Taoist temple for them in Jinan Mansion, but also donated incense to them every day, gradually, these three demon Dao dared to claim to be the incarnation of the Sanqing Daozun. Because these demons often show a few miracles, not only are there more and more believers, but even the harm is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Lu Xiangsheng seemed to think of the scourge of Jinan, sighed and continued: "At first, those Taoist priests just went to the mountains to find some wild boars and hares, saying that these wild things have become strange things, and the old lady of the governor's mansion invited the hunters of Jinan to go to the mountains to make up for some wild boars, pheasants, and hares, and then asked the three Taoist priests to open the altar. Later, the people of Jinan Mansion spent a lot of money to invite the three Taoist priests to see feng shui, and then there were evil things in people. The people who were discovered by the three Taoist priests were even more likely to sell their houses and land to go to the evil cult, but that was fine, the three Taoist priests were just cheating some money. Later, the three demons actually lured female believers to the Taoist temple in the name of Sanqing, and if they did not obey, they would beat people to death in the name of paganism, or burn them to death, in short, it would not end well, and the three demons liked the most boys and girls, and some ignorant people knew the preferences of the three demons and gave their sons and daughters to the three demons for enjoyment, and they fled with the children with a little reason, and all the boys and girls from other places passed there, There is no one who can escape the clutches of those three demons. ”

Zhu Youzhen said with an ugly face: "Then the Jinan government doesn't care?" ”

"The government of Jinan Mansion is looking at the Governor's Mansion there, how do they take care of it? And behind the three demon paths, there is the old lady of the governor's mansion to support it, that is, Li Linpu, the governor of Shandong, wanted to find trouble with the three demon roads, but he was also beaten back by the old lady in the name of not colliding with Sanqing. ”

"Didn't you say that the old lady of the Governor's Mansion was very kind and kind? Why did this kind of thing happen and blindly shield those three demon paths? ”

"That old lady was also fascinated by the three demon ways, she always thought that the reason why the disasters in Shandong for many years was because she offended the Sanqing Daozun, at this time, how dare she anger the three incarnated Sanqing demon ways, just thinking about giving up some people in Jinan Mansion and enshrined the Sanqing, so that she could save the people of Shandong."

Zhu Youzhen said angrily when he heard this: "Ignorance, ignorance, in this case, the governor of Shandong still talks about filial piety, that is, foolish filial piety, there are three unfilial piety, one is to know that his parents are wrong and blindly obey, trapping his parents in injustice. You also said that the governor of Shandong was a good official, but in my opinion he was a great evil man. I still have to go to Jinan Mansion, I want to see how many eyes and hands and feet those three demons have, no matter what kind of demons and monsters they are, pretending to be ghosts, I want to let them all show their original form. ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard Zhu Youzhen's words, he felt that he was still young and didn't know the danger, so he persuaded: "Zhu Gongzi must not act impulsively, how can we fight against those three demons?" What we have to fight against is not only the three demon Dao, but also the old lady of the Governor's Mansion and the believers of the entire Jinan Mansion. ”

This is not the first time that someone has advised Zhu Youzhen not to be impulsive, at that temple fair, Luo Yangxing's words to persuade him are still in his ears, when he was under the ruins, he still regretted not listening to Luo Yangxing's persuasion before, but this time the situation is different, if it is just the safety of him and Jinxiu, he can avoid it, but the people of Jinan Mansion are living under the sins of the three demons, if he doesn't know, he can't turn a blind eye when he knows.

Zhu Youzhen shook his head at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "I have made up my mind, Brother Lu doesn't need to persuade again, if Brother Lu is worried about his own safety, then he will take a detour to Dongchang Mansion, I, Zhu...... Zhu Wu must go to Jinan Mansion, and this is my decision, if I don't clean up the three demon roads, then I won't go to Suzhou Mansion. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Lu is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but why should Zhu Gongzi hit a stone with an egg?" What kind of unnecessary sacrifice? ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said with a little disappointment: "I thought that Brother Lu was also a person who cherished his family and country, although Brother Lu's words were for my good, but I couldn't accept it at this time." ”
