Chapter 4: Spirit Fox Crossing (2)
The streets and alleys of Wusong Town are quite prosperous, with streets and markets and hawkers shouting.
People come and go, and there is a lot of traffic; The roar is like a noise, the figures are outstanding, and it is a lively and prosperous scene, but it also seems that Wusong Town is very prosperous under the local jurisdiction.
With the thriving scene of the market all the way, no one can look horizontally, vertically, sideways, or obliquely, and there is no special strange image there, let alone a ghost.
But at this juncture, a few big families in the town have recently made some unclean things, and every once in a while, their own family members have been ravaged and frightened.
Especially the Bai family in Wusong Town, this haunted thing can be regarded as the most ferocious.
Family members, maids, and subordinates often stand still for a while, talking crazy; After a while, he was dismantled again, and he muttered wildly, not knowing what to do; All of a sudden, he ripped off all his clothes, and ran around wildly, babbling nonsense; All of a sudden, he danced with a sword in his hand, slashed and stabbed everywhere, and said that he was the immortal who fell into the mortal dust, slashed demons, and drove away cows, ghosts, and basilisks.
The Bai family has this kind of weird and crazy phenomenon, and it has been grinding the Bai family for a while, and it has been making trouble intermittently. Finally, in the chaotic taboo of one spread ten, ten to hundred, and hundreds to thousands, all these haunted and haunted things were spread in Wusong Town, and naturally they were sold by those long-tongued women with many mouths and tongues in the market, with the help of the turmoil of demons and monsters.
As these rumors bloom everywhere, they become more and more exciting. In Wusong Town, the things of demons and monsters making troubles gradually became well-known, and they spread so much that they were not vulgar.
As a result, for a while, Wusong Town, which was under the jurisdiction of Daping Mansion, was full of officials and people, and the people were panicked and their families were in danger.
Some wealthy families in the town, for the safety of their own families, sent people from hundreds of miles and thousands of miles to search for some Taoist scholars with profound Taoist and strong mana, as well as some Buddhist monks who came to catch demons and eliminate demons, calm people's hearts, and bless the family in the wing period, up and down, peace and security.
The Qingfeng Dao Immortal on Cedar Mountain was entrusted by Zhong Lingtong, the master of the Zixia Crown on the mountain, to take his little junior brother Zuo Baifeng down the mountain to the town to do things for the Bai family.
Qingfeng Daoxian listened to Master Zhong Lingtong's words, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old third lady of the Bai family--- Bai Zihe, was still a good person a few days ago, she didn't burn or hurt, and her head was smart. I didn't know how to do it for a while, but the night before yesterday I suddenly lost my head, muttered to myself, made some scary cloaks and dances, and then unintentionally fell down the patio in the courtyard, and she was so silent and whimpering.
Bai Yuanwai loves this daughter the most in his life, and he is often proud of this woman before and after others, and praises when he sees people, and praises him when he meets people, and he is even more devoted to her body, doting, especially as a pearl in his palm. Who would have thought that when he was old, he suddenly lost his beloved daughter, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, and he was very sad and angry, and he was desperate. With a thought, he sent someone to Cedar Mountain to invite Zhong Lingtong, an old Taoist who had become an immortal, to come and subdue demons and eliminate demons.
First, he took the evil demons and monsters to avenge his daughter, and secondly, he also wanted to reincarnate as a human being for his daughter's transcendent soul, and thirdly, he also wanted to take the pulse of his own courtyard, change the faΓ§ade, and see what feng shui was doing. In short, if you can eradicate any evils, or do a ritual to eliminate disasters and difficulties, it doesn't matter what you can do, just want to have a peaceful heart and a clean family.
Zhong Lingtong, an old priest who once wanted to become an immortal on Cedar Mountain, received the invitation gift from the white staff sent by the expatriate, and he was counted on his fingers in the view, and the practice was ascended to the altar, knowing that the Bai family should have this, and the mandate of heaven cannot be changed. It can also be regarded as a cycle of cause and effect, and no one can do anything about it. It's all because the ancestors of the Bai family were vicious and sinister officials, and the unjust prisons have accumulated, and the anger of the public is difficult to eliminate. Now that the official situation has gone, the disaster star has appeared, the evil ghost has come to ask for debts, and the ghost has come to seduce the soul.
At that time, he secretly found out that there was another mystery in the sudden incident of the third lady of the Bai family, and it was inconvenient for him to come forward in person. I had to send a third apprentice, Qingfeng Daoxian, and a seventh apprentice, Sun Zuo Baifeng, to go down the mountain to end the matter, which could be regarded as giving Bai Yuan a little face, so as not to live up to his warm invitation. Second, it is good to have closed this public case that was lost 500 years ago.
On this day, Qingfeng Daoxian took Zuo Baifeng, who couldn't wake up, from the Taoist temple on Cedar Mountain to the front of the mansion outside the white staff in the town.
The old man stepped forward and saluted the two of them, "The two immortal elders, have worked hard all the way. My master Bai has been waiting in the lobby for a long time, so I asked the two Taoist elders to come with the old man, and I will see my master Bai. β
"Okay, old man, I have you to lead the way, and the trail is grateful."
Qingfeng Daoxian and Zuo Baifeng both bowed down and thanked them, and then followed the old man into the Bai family compound and went straight to the welcome hall.
Before entering the hall, I saw a somewhat fat and swollen old man, sitting on the master's chair on the left side of the Eight Immortals Table in the center of the hall, with a dull expression and slow eyes, like a puppet.
For a while, he saw that the old man had brought in two young monks who were old and young, and he first shouted in surprise, then hurriedly stood up and greeted him with both hands: "The two immortals have worked hard, come, come, sit here." Turning his head, he shouted casually. Wuya, hurry up and serve tea, let the two immortals moisten their throats first, cool, cool. β
Then, he glanced back at the old man, paused and then instructed the old man: "Uncle Li, you go to the Third Lady's Spiritual Hall to prepare first, and later, I will personally take the two immortal elders forward." β
"Okay, master, the old slave is over, you can slowly entertain the two immortal elders."
The old man who had just entered together, and was now called Li Bo by Bai Yuan, immediately replied, made a salute, and turned away.
On the mourning hall, the third lady of the Bai family has been dressed up vividly by the maids and put in a big black coffin.
Whether you look at it from a distance or up close, it looks like a sleeping baby, lying in a coffin and sleeping groggily, like a master who has lost his breath.
If it weren't for all the decorations on the mourning hall here, the quiet and clear environment of the Bai family compound would look like a scene where someone had just died.
If it is replaced with red candles and festive red silk, it will be almost the same as the cave house in the world of marrying relatives and worshipping in the church.
Don't end up with a cold and lonely person at this time.
Li Bo also took a heart of decay and waves, and stepped into the mourning hall located in a corner of the backyard, with three separate back wings.
I saw that the mourning hall was somewhat deserted, because it was a young man who died early, in addition to the necessary worship to take a look at a few related relatives, the remaining filial piety was the few maids who used to be treated in personal clothes, and a few small people who stayed to be brave.
The third lady of the Bai family ended up so cold and affectionate after her sudden death, I am afraid that it was also forced by the local customs and habits at that time.
The maids and a few little maids saw Li Bo come in with a sad face, and immediately became a little more active, standing respectfully on both sides, looking like a wolf howling, as if they had died of their relatives, and it was like that when people looked at them.
Li Bo naturally didn't want to say much, after all, people can't be resurrected after death. He just respectfully added three more incense sticks burning with curling green smoke in front of the spiritual seat of the third lady of the Bai family, and bowed three more times, and suddenly couldn't help crying loudly.
"Third Miss, why did you die? Old man Li Bo hasn't repaid your kindness yet, why are you in such a hurry? God, you're eyeless! If you take away a good person like Miss San, what good people are there in the world? What's the point of the old man being alive? You might as well take the old man with you. β
Li Bai cried all the time, and suddenly those girls and little girls came to tears. They also cried along with Li Bai's terrible cry, and they were also quite sad and affectionate, but they didn't seem to be pretentious.
Li Bai suddenly held back his tears, paused, looked left and right, and suddenly howled again.
"Third Miss, if you have a spirit, take the old man away, right? The old slave is fortunate to serve you wholeheartedly in the other world, and it will not hurt your kindness to the old man. β
"The old slave hated himself for not being able to take care of you, so he ended up in today's team. Third Miss, you should answer the old slave! β
Li Bo cried loudly for a while, which made the few maids and little servants waiting on the side panic, and they couldn't help but open their eyes wide to peep at everything in front of them, as if they were wondering if this Li Bai's sadness and grief was real or fake? It's still a matter of heart for the Bai family to see.
However, they would never have expected that the butler Li Bo would make such a drama was really so decisive and sad, it seemed to be a pure master-servant relationship, and there was never a trace of hypocrisy in the middle.
Just when everyone was sighing suspiciously, they only heard a "hey", and a slight sigh of resentment suddenly floated out of the coffin and spread directly over the mourning hall.
Everyone in the mourning hall listened to it clearly, and couldn't help but turn their heads back to each other, looked at each other left and right, and for some reason, then quieted down again, still doing their own thing.
So, after a while, I heard a sigh of heavy breathing and extremely resentful breathing, and floated out of the dark coffin.
Compared with the previous shout, it sounded even more strange and terrifying, and the few maids and servants guarding the mourning hall finally became more and more frightened and uneasy, shivering in false alarm, and trembling closer to Li Bo's side. And Li Bai, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, seemed to have heard a strange sound that came from the coffin where the third lady of the Bai family was lying, and he was also at a loss for a while, and the six gods had no master.
The mourning hall was full of terrifying colors and frightening dreams, which came into being spontaneous and chilling people's hearts.
