Chapter 31: The Haunted House
"Although this Linjiang Immortal is excellent, it is not the word of the Qinglou for the occasion. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Jia Shi is both an appreciation and an exhortation," the word has the meaning of loneliness and coldness, and it is understandable if it is old; It's just that if you are in the year of promise, how can you go with the flow and go with the flow? ”
"Xianggong Jinyu good words, humble duty remember." Meng Jiucheng paused, and then said: "This word is filled in by a master outside the world, who has seen through the world and has his own indifferent and free atmosphere; But I feel that life is short, the country is eternal, and it is more important to hone and forge ahead, and live up to the time. ”
Jia Shi nodded in appreciation, "If you have this understanding, you will become a great tool." As long as you work diligently, the county will be optimistic about you. ”
Hehe, I'm bullish on myself, too. Meng Jiucheng bowed, retreated, and went home from work.
After walking out of the yamen for a short distance, he saw the fox servant Hu Fu walking out of the teahouse, bowing down to say hello, and inviting Meng Jiucheng to enter the story.
Meng Jiucheng was puzzled in his heart, wondering if he was going to repay the kindness of returning the book, and he didn't know what good things he would give.
Entering the teahouse and walking to the elegant room, Meng Jiucheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. It turned out that Hu Erlang, who was waiting for him in the elegant room, was not surprised, and Mingdang was also here, but he was unexpected.
"Official, please be seated." Ming Zhong smiled earnestly, got up and stood up, and quipped: "It's really life if it's only as first seen." Only two days later, when the officials saw the slave family again, they didn't know it? ”
Hu Fu, the fox servant, stood by the door, apparently standing guard, in case the conversation was overheard by outsiders.
"Officials don't have to wonder, Mingdang is my niece." Hu Erlang introduced with a smile.
"She's also a fox fairy?" Meng Jiucheng was stunned at this time, but his tone was still questioning, and he couldn't believe that this little girl with bright eyes and bright teeth was actually a fox spirit.
"The slave family is only five hundred years old, and it is far from being an immortal." Ming Zhong poured tea for Meng Jiucheng, but he no longer sat down, but waited by the side like a servant.
"That, does Tang Niangzi know?" Meng Jiucheng asked curiously.
Mingdang nodded and said: "When Tang Niangzi first came, my father saw that there was a swordsman in his car, so he ordered the slave family to go to see him, and he was willing to serve him. ”
"My brother thought that Tang Niangzi might have a way to avoid the lightning tribulation, but Tang Niangzi admitted that no, Mingdang and Tang Niangzi, as well as Na Rong'er, felt like-minded, so they continued to follow." Hu Dalang then explained: "Well, Meng Guanren must not know something, that Rong'er is not an ordinary person, and she has also learned some ghost and immortal techniques from her father. ”
"Rong'er is not human?" Meng Jiucheng asked curiously, and after receiving a negative answer, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Her father is a ghost immortal?" Amazing, isn't it? ”
"I don't know what Meng Guanren means by being powerful?" Ming Zhong frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said: "Among the five immortals, the ghost immortal is the most inferior. But the slave family heard Rong'er say that his father can heal without medicine, and he can break without prediction, and he is also successful in cultivation. ”
"Although ghosts and immortals are called immortals, they are actually ghosts, also known as ghosts." Hu Erlang paused and said, "I won't talk about the ghost fairy for the time being, but only repay the official for returning the book." ”
"It's the thing that belongs to its original owner, so why bother?" Meng Jiucheng looked forward to it in his heart, but pretended to be humble.
Hu Erlang smiled and said, "Repaying the favor is also a gesture, not enough to worry about." Can Meng Guanren know the deserted house of Jiang Bulang in the county? Now you can buy it at a cheap price, and a certain brother and his brother have a way to make the house clean. For Meng Guanren, it was just a gesture. ”
Oh, and what about me? Meng Jiucheng thought about it, but this mansion couldn't be bought by himself, although it might really be a gesture. Guo Chen originally wanted to buy it, but you persuaded him to be clean, and when he turned his head, you bought it again, what happened?
Seeing that Meng Jiucheng was a little hesitant, Ming Zhong said beside him: "Isn't the official going to do the fragrance business, the mansion is very large, whether it is to live or use as a workshop, it is a very good place." Even if you wait for the house to be cleaned and then sell it, you can make a lot of profits. ”
Meng Jiucheng smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know anything. A few days ago, I had a friend who wanted to buy this house, and I advised him not to get into trouble by being cheap. Now that I am going to buy it, will it not ruin my reputation? ”
"I see!" Hu Erlang pondered for a moment and said, "If it's Meng Guanren's friend, it's okay to help him." Well, and tell Meng Guanren about this method of suppressing evil spirits and exorcising ghosts, if Meng Guanren wants to help him, he must also let him remember the good of the officials. ”
"There's a ghost in that house?" Meng Jiucheng asked curiously: "Why didn't you go to Yin Si and stay in the world?" ”
"Or a lonely ghost, or a wronged ghost, or a wish that has not been fulfilled-" Hu Erlang paused and said: "All kinds of reasons are inexhaustible for a while. ”
Meng Jiucheng nodded, and then asked Hu Er for advice on how to exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits, and kept them in his heart one by one. After drinking a pot of tea and chatting for a while, Meng Jiucheng said goodbye to Hu Er and Ming Deng and went home.
"Uncle, if you still can't understand the book that day, my niece thinks that I can teach Meng Guanren to refer to it together." After Meng Jiucheng left, Ming Zhong sat down and thoughtfully suggested: "Although he doesn't understand the way of cultivating immortals, and he has no interest in cultivating immortals, he has a wide range of knowledge, and I am afraid that he still knows a lot of hermits, maybe——"
Hu Erlang shook his head lightly and said, "Wait, after all, we are foxes, and he is human." The way of cultivating immortals, there is not only what you want, there must be cause and effect, how to deal with the aftermath, but also take some thought. ”
"If you help, you will be rewarded, and my niece doesn't think it's difficult to deal with such an aftermath." Ming Zhong smiled and said: "There are a lot of ownerless things in the world, and mortals are rare, but it is very easy for us to take them." ”
Hu Erlang thought about it, nodded with a smile, and said, "You can give it a try." Let's see what Meng Guanren wants and what they need, so they can do what they like. ”
"It's not early, my niece will go back to Yingchun Fang first. It's just that with Meng Guanren Zhuyu in front, it will be unbearable for guests to come again. Mingdang got up, complained helplessly, and said goodbye to his uncle.
Besides, Meng Jiucheng returned home and found that Guo Chen, Chen Hongji, and Jiang Dongshan were waiting for him, and the wine, meat, vegetables and vegetables had been bought and brought, and they were going to drink again.
That day, they went to Yingchun Fang together, Meng Jiucheng and Tang Xixi were alone for a while, and when they went downstairs, Guo Chen and Chen Hongjian had already looked for a girl and were happy. Meng Jiucheng didn't call them either, and left on his own. I thought they would come in the near future, but I didn't expect it to be today.
"Why are you late?" As soon as he saw Meng Jiucheng, Guo Chen couldn't help but joke, "We also said that you went to Yingchun Fang alone to meet the Tang lady?" ”
"In the land of fireworks, it is better to go less." Meng Jiucheng pretended to be serious, and said in a dignified manner: "I am a responsible person, and I don't have much money, and that kind of gold cave can only be obtained by Brother Guo's light." ”
"It's just right that Brother Meng doesn't go, if he goes, how can there be a chance for others." Chen Hong gradually said this, his face couldn't help showing a smug look, shaking the folding fan, as if in the aftertaste, and said slowly: "That Tang Lady is really extraordinary, fascinating!" ”
