Chapter 043: Heavenly Secrets Must Not Be Leaked
After Su Meiniang's reminder, Li Wenxuan realized that he did have some impulses before. He is a responsible man, so even if he really sleeps with Zhao Tian'er. When he "gets on the bus", he will also admit the account and "make up the ticket". In his opinion, the essence of "buying a ticket to get on the bus" and "getting on the bus to make up the ticket" are the same. However, this is only his one-sided idea as a modern person.
Although it is not excluded that there are a small number of men who "get on the bus first and make up the ticket later" during the Ming Dynasty, they are all very few. In this case, even if the woman who passed through the door has a name, she will have a lower status outside the home than the women who go through the normal procedure and go to bed. After all, this kind of behavior that is not in line with Confucianism and etiquette will be recognized as shameful by the people at that time.
Li Wenxuan, who sent Su Meiniang out of the door, closed the door, plugged in the latch, and then turned back to the back room, blew out the candles, took off his clothes and went to bed. Whether it's the outdoor rainstorm or the thunder and lightning, it has nothing to do with me. He just wanted to lie down beautifully and sleep until dawn.
As he wished, it was dawn and the rain stopped abruptly before dawn. Li Wenxuan, who stayed in the garden, carefully observed some of the strange things that he imitated modern meteorological instruments. Although they are not very accurate, they still have a practical effect.
Zhao Tian'er, who ran from outside, saw him and said directly: "You go out and have a look." They are clamoring to see you. ”
Li Wenxuan thought that it was some people who did not follow his regulations and came to seek medical advice in the future, so he didn't want to go out, and said lightly: "Let them come on the first or fifteenth day of the new year." But if they do not listen, let them go. You don't have to pay much attention to them. I don't believe they dared to set our house on sale. ”
"It's not that, it's hell." Zhao Tian'er couldn't help but shiver and said, "Last night, there was a dead man." The big guys don't know what to do, and they're worried that the disaster will affect them, so they all come to beg you to find a way. After hearing this, Li Wenxuan thought to himself, the person who was electrocuted was really unlucky, after all, the probability of this situation is the same as winning the jackpot.
He didn't say the inside story, but he initially thought so, so he went out with Zhao Tian'er to take a look. Li Wenxuan was really startled when he walked out of the door, after all, there were too many people. I estimated that there were more than 1,000 people. He didn't have any doubts, and I believe that the vast majority of people here came to see the excitement.
Li Wenxuan, who looked down, noticed that there was a dead man covered with a white cloth under the steps. As he slowly walked down the steps, he lifted the white cloth and saw that the dead man lying on the morgue was the watchman in the city. The other party's face was black, his body was red, and there were still a few burnt marks on his clothes. His widow and three children knelt beside him in linen and filial piety, crying incessantly.
Although the big guy knew the rules set by Li Wenxuan, he had to come with a thick skin. Hell, the people in the city have already been troubled by various rumors. This happened another incident of heavenly punishment, so they were terrified all day long, and naturally wanted to get an answer that they thought was reasonable.
Although some of them first thought of going to Longhu Mountain to invite Taoist priests, it caused a debate among everyone. They all clearly knew that it would cost a lot of silver to invite the Taoist priests on Longhu Mountain. This mention of money is not a thing that makes people affectionate with each other, but there are more variables.
Some of them are willing to scrape together money for the sake of safety, while some are lucky but unwilling to take out their personal purse. Another point of contention is whether the Taoist priest who invited him down the mountain can solve the trouble for them, it is really hard to say, after all, there are many Taoist temples on Longhu Mountain, and there are more Taoist priests, and they can't tell the Taoist priest who has cultivated and who has not cultivated with the naked eye.
Just when the argument was over, Zhu Biao came up with a sentence "Looking for Taoist Li Wenxuan in the city", which instantly calmed down everyone's different opinions and reached an agreement. The reason is very simple, first, he does not collect cashier, or it is cheaper to find him; The second is that he has indeed helped many people.
As a result, Zhu Biao, who was elected by everyone, became their leader. Standing to the right of the deceased, he naturally became the spokesman for the deceased's family. Zhu Biao, who took a step forward, faced Li Wenxuan with both hands and clasped his fists, and said respectfully: "Please ask Daoist Li to eliminate disasters and evil for everyone." ”
Li Wenxuan, who had been silent for a while, knew that he couldn't shirk the matter in front of him, but he didn't want to shirk either. I know very well that there are great benefits here. Although he may not have made any material gains, he can do it by making his fame bigger and more famous. In addition, Li Wenxuan also wanted to borrow this "east wind" to clean up Zhang Fugui and Huang Lianhua together.
"Since everyone can trust the poor way, it is incumbent on them." While Li Wenxuan showed an impassioned and self-defeating posture, he changed his words and said: "I understand everyone's eagerness to resolve it. However, this is a very important matter, and I have to understand it clearly and do it step by step. ”
The widow of the watchman cried and wiped her tears: "The man in my family has always been good and good, and he should not be punished by God and die in vain." Surely an evil spirit came out and did evil, and killed him. I begged Daochang Li to subdue the evil ghosts and give justice to the little woman's family. Your great kindness, we will always remember in our hearts, toothless and unforgettable. ”
After speaking, she took her children and kowtowed to him. In full view of everyone, Li Wenxuan did not accept it as calmly as he usually did, but showed noble sentiments and a glowing side. He closed his eyes slightly, and pinched his fingers in a fake way.
There was no one among the thousands of people who coaxed or laughed about it, but all held their breath and waited for the result. Li Wenxuan, who reopened his eyes, deliberately smiled in front of everyone, didn't say anything, turned around and walked directly into his own door. His move really made the audience immediately dumbfounded.
Seeing that Li Wenxuan had already entered, Zhao Tian'er had to follow in. In order to prevent someone from rushing in, she closed the door with both hands and plugged in the latch. Zhao Tian'er, who was hurrying to catch up with Li Wenxuan, asked in the end with the broken sand pot, and asked curiously: "Do you already know what is going on in the Dao?" ”
Li Wenxuan smiled faintly, pretending to be mysterious: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked." ”
Zhao Tian'er, who wanted to know the reason for the Dao very much, grabbed him and said, "Just tell me!" Li Wenxuan, who didn't go inside again, had already noticed that three or five bastard boys had climbed up the tree outside the wall of his house and were looking inside. And these "live broadcasters" who climbed on the trees began to convey a sentence and a sentence to the crowd looking up at them below.
"Don't pull it anymore, your clothes are going to be torn by you. I'll tell you. Li Wenxuan, who didn't suddenly touch her little face, deliberately raised his voice so that outsiders could hear: "The killing of the watchman is indeed not a punishment from heaven, but an evil ghost who killed him in the name of heaven." ”
Zhao Tian'er, who was very satisfied with this explanation, did not have the slightest doubt, and asked urgently: "Since you already know the Dao, is there a way to eliminate the evil ghosts?" ”
"There is a way, but ......" Li Wenxuan, who did not have a mature plan, had to pretend to sell a pass and said: "If you want to know Lu Dao, then go and call Zhu Biao to me." Zhao Tian'er, who wanted to know the results of the Dao, turned around and called Zhu Biao outside the door, and she went directly to the flower hall to wait for them.
Zhu Biao, who was informed, did not rush in, but ordered everyone to disperse, and on the other hand, he called four men to carry the body of the beater home, after all, it was not a matter to put it at the door of Li's house. This grievance has a head, the debt has a master, and the person is harmed by evil spirits, and it is not Li Wenxuan who kills him. Many people saw that there was no excitement and watched again, and they dispersed one after another, and those who did not leave were very anxious to wait for Zhu Biao to come out.
Zhu Biao, who explained clearly, followed Zhao Tian'er and walked in. Li Wenxuan, who was sitting on the chair, saw him come in, and did not speak, but motioned with his hands to signal him to sit down. Zhu Biao, who was sitting on the side, said straightly: "I don't know why Daochang Li asked me to come?" ”
"If you are bold enough, do you dare to follow me to a mass grave two miles north of the city in three days?" Li Wenxuan didn't talk nonsense and said, "We will spend the night there." ”
Zhu Biao, who was not afraid, said one word categorically: "Dare." ”
Li Wenxuan, who praised him for his "good look", looked at Zhao Tian'er who was standing on the side, and said with a wicked smile: "What about you?" ”
Just listening to the words "mass grave", Zhao Tian'er broke out in cold sweat on her forehead. Not only that, but also to spend the night there. Her heart had already sped up, and she began to break out in a thin cold sweat all over her body. He is definitely not as bold as Zhu Biao. Therefore, Zhao Tian'er, who did not directly express any attitude at the first time, was very curious on the one hand, and definitely unwilling to go on the other side.
Li Wenxuan saw that her face turned a lot whiter and said, "If you want to know the results of the Dao, then you have to go there with me." If not......"
"Not only is that place eerie and terrifying, but there are also many lonely ghosts." Zhao Tian'er gasped and said, "If I am captured by a ghost, how can it be good?" ”
Li Wenxuan, who didn't plan to let her go, just wanted to use this to scare her, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I will protect you." ”
Zhao Tian'er, who shook her little head like a rattle, weighed it and said with a very strong position: "The family needs to keep people, so I still don't go." ”
Li Wenxuan, who was funny in his heart, stopped there and did not tease her further. I was interested, and I really wanted to know how many bold people there were in this city, so I looked at Zhu Biao and said in a different tone: "You can go and tell everyone that if you want to follow along, you can go together." ”
