Chapter 129: Lord Buddha, Please Stay (07)
Tang Guo looked at the cub in front of him and felt that this matter was a bit too much of a coincidence.
She also noticed that the child probably didn't realize that he was dead, and that he had only died in the last few days.
Generally speaking, a person will wander around the place of death for seven days after death, or they will follow their own corpse until the ghost sends them back to the underworld.
Xu Maomao is just a child, she doesn't have any resentment, she is just a cub who doesn't understand anything, and she doesn't know much about it.
……
Mao Mao tugged at Tang Guo's sleeve and asked, "Sister, can you let my father and mother see me?" I'm not going to hide anymore and let them find ......"
"Okay, I'll take you to your father."
Tang Guo also happened to want to find someone to ask what was going on in this village, since there was a little ghost asking her, she could go and see it by the way.
Chang Qing chased after him in three steps and two steps, his head just reached Tang Guo's shoulder, his eyes slanted to the little ghost held by Tang Guo's left hand, and asked, "Sister Tang, do you really want to take him home?" What if it scares his parents? ”
Tang Guo tilted his head and smiled: "Maomao is their child, how can it scare them?" ”
What's more, it is impossible for anyone who loses children one after another to remain indifferent.
With Maomao here, starting from the Xu family to understand this village, it will be easier for them to act next.
Maybe there's something more interesting about it.
……
Xuanchen followed unhurriedly, and the little ghost in Tang Guo's left hand looked at the beautiful monk curiously, and said with a small face: "This brother is so good-looking." ”
Tang Guo raised his head and looked at Xuanchen seriously for a while, and nodded thoughtfully: "It's very good-looking, and I like his face a lot." ”
Xuan Chen's eyes were slightly darker, and he wrung his eyebrows to look at her arbitrary and casual appearance, his throat suddenly itched, he subconsciously flattened the corners of his lips, and looked away without a trace.
The two of them stopped in front of the closed door of the Xu family, and Tang Guo pushed Chang Qing's shoulder: "You go knock on the door." ”
"Why doesn't Sister Tang go by herself?"
Chang Qing touched the back of his head and walked to the door, and asked a little strangely.
But he was very obedient, and he knocked three times on the wooden door that had been eroded by the wind and rain.
"I'm the ghost king, and it's unlucky to knock on someone's door."
Tang Guo sighed quietly, there are many inconveniences to become a powerful ghost king, isn't it said the old saying, "Don't do bad things in your life, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night", if she knocks on the door, it is bound to be that family has done something wrong, otherwise it will bring bad luck to people, and her conscience as a ghost is also uneasy.
Listening to Tang Guo's nonsense, Chang Qing still believed it.
Xuanchen couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth when he heard this, his eyes pinched the Buddha beads, but there were faint laugh lines at the end of his eyes.
Tang Guo glanced at him and snorted lightly: "What are you laughing at, Lord Buddha?" ”
"It's better for Master Tang to talk less."
When Xuanchen raised his eyelashes, there seemed to be a strange color in his amber eyes, fleeting.
Tang Guo pursed the corners of his mouth, touched the little ghost's small locks, and heard some slow footsteps in the yard.
The smile on the corner of her mouth slowly disappeared, she looked at the door panel thoughtfully, turned her head to look at the low courtyard wall, and let out a low "huh", wondering why there was a faint extremely pure yin qi in this courtyard.
Xuan Chen also seemed to have noticed the abnormality, his brows slowly raised, and he said in a low voice: "I didn't notice it just now, as soon as the door in the courtyard opened, the yin qi became extremely strong. ”
Tang Guo nodded and said in a low voice, "Go in and have a look." ”
She also wanted to find out what was going on with this family, how it was so gloomy, if she wasn't sure that this was an inhabited village, she would have to start to suspect that there was another small Lin Chi city here.
……
The sound of rustling behind the door sounded, and after the bolt was removed, a woman wearing a cotton and linen short gown and long skirt poked her head out from behind the door, looked at the little monk at the door and was stunned for two seconds, and slowly opened the door, only to see Tang Guo and Xuanchen standing behind Chang Qing.
"You are ......"
Chang Qing had a well-behaved and lovely face, folded his hands and bowed seriously: "Amitabha, the little monk is a monk of Putuo Temple, and he has been on the road with the little uncle for a long time, passing by Guibao and wanting to turn a bowl of rice. ”
The woman's guarded expression relaxed a lot when she listened to the little monk's words, and she secretly looked at Tang Guo twice, and said suspiciously: "Then this girl is ......?"
Chang Qing turned sideways to reveal Tang Guo's face, and explained with a smile: "This is Master Tang, a believer who is good friends with our Putuo Temple, and I happened to meet him on the boat, so I went with him temporarily. We stayed at the entrance of the village for a while, and we didn't meet anyone, so it was like knocking on the door and asking. Master Tang is a great and kind person, she will pay for dinner. ”
Tang Guo: "......"
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and moved her gaze to the back of the little monk's head.
This little novice is really ...... She didn't relent.
The woman glanced at Tang Guo, and Tang Guo said with a smile: "What the little monk said is right, I have been in a hurry for the past few days, and I am really hungry today, and I haven't seen any other vendors, so I took the liberty to disturb you." ”
The woman hurriedly waved her hand and said sideways, "You guys come in first." ”
The three of them followed the woman into the courtyard, and after the courtyard door was closed, the woman quietly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the three of them: "The three of you sit in the room, it's almost noon, I'll go cook." ”
……
Tang Guo glanced back at Xuan Chen, the two of them just met their eyes, and Xuan Chen took the lead in removing his eyes and looked at the open main house.
They delayed some time along the way, and it was estimated that it was already late at this moment, but Yuanqi Village was still surrounded by thick fog, and the sky over the entire village was gray, and it looked like a hundred chimneys had been built around it, burning the furnace day and night, making the area smoky.
In fact, it is not, before she went out, she calculated that today was a good weather with high sunshine, if it was in Deyu Town, I was afraid that the scorching sun would be on the head, and it would be clear in all directions.
This is the boundary of the south of the Yangtze River, early summer and May, it should not be such abnormal weather.
There is only Yuanqi Village, and the diffuse fog is actually a thick yin qi that cannot be dissolved, and it is full of yin wind when walking in the village.
……
Xuan Chen stood at the door of the main house, looking at the burned ashes in the copper basin under the window of the West House, he squatted on the edge of the copper basin and stretched out his hand to twist the ashes
"It's the ashes that have been burned by the Dead Coin, and the ashes of incense."
Tang Guo stood behind him and nodded: "It should have been burned this morning, there was a lot of fog in the morning, if it was burned yesterday, the pot and incense ash would not be so dry." ”
"The customs in this part of Nanfu are similar, after a person dies, he has to stop for seven days, and then he will go out for funeral." Tang Guo glanced at the little ghost who had already run to the kitchen to play, and whispered, "But that child is too young, I'm afraid that the funeral will not follow the etiquette of the person who is crowned, and the funeral may stop for three days." ”
Xuanchen stood up and said, "That's true." ”
"What are you going to say to that little ghost, and how are you going to tell his mother?"
Xuanchen looked at her lightly, worried for her.
Tang Guo leaned against the wall, looking down at the ashes in the copper basin, his hands on his arms, and his right index finger tapping regularly.
"It's not difficult, just say it, I really can't accept it, let them cry, after crying, calm down, and always accept the reality."
Xuanchen: "......" when he didn't say.
This ghost king is not a decent ghost at first glance!
Tang Guo stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve, his eyes slanted to the door of the main house, and he didn't make a sound.
Xuanchen glanced at her, was held by her cheeks, and forcibly broke the direction of her gaze.
An undetectable cloud of black smoke slowly drifted out of the room and headed straight for the kitchen.
"There's still someone in the house." Xuanchen let go of his senses, opened his eyes and said.
Tang Guo didn't refute, she knew that there were two other people in the house early on, but her anger was weak, and she was like a gossamer, and she would probably stretch her legs and stare at her braids at any time.
If she wasn't a ghost king, she was extremely sensitive to people's anger, and she wouldn't have noticed.
Tang Guo looked at the kitchen, and the woman who made the fire sat in front of the stove and coughed lowly, as if she wanted to cough out her lungs.
"There's something to absorb the family's anger." Tang Guo turned his head to look at Xuan Chen's tense jaw and slightly tightened masseter muscles, and said with a smile, "What are you doing so nervous?" ”
Xuanchen looked down at her: "You have been looking at the poor monk. ”
"You're good-looking, I haven't seen someone as eye-catching as you for a long time, of course I have to take advantage of the opportunity to take a few more looks."
When she spoke, she still looked like a matter of course, but Xuanchen was a little annoyed by her unhesitant attitude, but there were some strange feelings in her heart, which she couldn't say clearly.
Tang Guo saw that the tips of his ears were red, and then slowly dyed his ears, neck, and face a thin red, like a girl with rouge in the flower building, with a kind of shy and eye-catching demeanor.
"I won't tease you." Tang Guo poked him with his elbow and said with a smile, "You go in and see what that thing is." ”
Xuanchen looked at her hesitantly: "Why didn't you go in?" ”
"You are a monk, and you have more trust than me."
Xuan Chen lowered his eyes and said softly: "Sophistry." ”
"I'm really a ghost...... Tang Guo said with a grin.
After saying that, she straightened up and was slowly dangled to the kitchen door, and went into the kitchen to talk to the hostess.
Xuanchen shook his head, asked Chang Qing to help in the kitchen, and turned around and entered the house.
……
Tang Guo squatted next to the basin to help choose vegetables, gossiping with Mao Maoniang.
"I don't know what to call you?" Tang Guo asked with a smile on his face.
The woman sat on the small bench and smiled implicitly: "My maiden name is Zhou, and the people in the village call me Mrs. Zhou." ”
Tang Guo tilted his head, was silent for two seconds, and said, "Sister Zhou." ”
Mrs. Zhou nodded, her hands and feet were still very sharp, and she chose vegetables quickly and accurately.
"Is Miss Tang visiting relatives?"
Tang Guo shook his head: "No, at the invitation of a friend, go and see Feng Shui." ”
Mrs. Zhou's movements paused, and she looked at her in surprise: "Miss Tang is young and still understands feng shui?" ”
Tang Guo continued to make up nonsense: "I am a cultivator, you have also seen me wearing a sword, I am a disciple of the Immortal Sword Sect, I still know a little about feng shui, help people see that feng shui can earn some money." ”
Although Mrs. Zhou felt that she was young, she was very friendly to people, so she was defenseless and praised: "The girl is really good." ”
Tang Guo shook his head: "I just earn something to eat, and I also occasionally do some work to eliminate trouble, after all, I am training outside, and the master doesn't care, let us disciples accept the beating of society and fend for ourselves." ”
Mrs. Zhou was amused, and her eyebrows softened a lot, and she persuaded softly: "Miss Tang, after you finish lunch, you should leave the village quickly." ”
Tang Guo didn't respond, but smiled faintly: "Thank you Sister Zhou for your concern." ”
"You're here for the sneakiness of the village, aren't you?"
When Mrs. Zhou heard her say that she was a cultivator, she probably figured out that they were not passers-by, but came here specifically for the affairs of Yuanqi Village.
Tang Guo nodded: "Do the people in the village know about this?" ”
Mrs. Zhou nodded: "Speaking of which, they all deserve it, if it weren't for the Li family's iniquity, how could Yuanqi Village be today." ”
It seems that many people in the village know about it, so Tang Guo is relieved to investigate.
"When did the sneakiness of Yuanqi Village come about?" Tang Guo asked.
"I don't know very well, it seems that since last year, the sky in the village has suddenly changed, at first it was an accident with someone who had dealings with the Li family, no one knows what happened, anyway, people lie down at home at night, and the next morning they lie in front of the Li house covered in blood, and the door and wall of the Li family's house are smeared with blood, which is scary to see......"
After a few incidents in a row, the Li family invited them to the town and county to find a Taoist priest with a high level of Taoism, and then cast spells and drew talismans to rearrange the house, which was considered to be peaceful. But it didn't last long, and after half a year, the previous thing started again......"
"But although the people in the village were injured, but no one died, the government came a few times, but also squatted at night and couldn't squat anything, can only pull the hysterical people back, come and go, the people of the government are not willing to care, they will not catch ghosts, so they reported to the government to withdraw the people, and invited the Taoist priest to come over again."
"However, the second time I invited the Taoist priest, it angered the sneaky, and the Taoist priest went to the half-life ...... on the spot."
Mrs. Zhou's face turned pale, her body shrunk into a ball, and she trembled and said: "That sneaky man has been unscrupulous since then, the cattle in the village have died one after another, and slowly the village has no sun, and it is gloomy every day, and I feel that there is a gust of wind everywhere, so I can stay at home and feel more at ease." Later, Taoist priests came one after another, but they couldn't get rid of the sneaky, it is said that the sneaky is too powerful, and now ordinary Taoist priests can't control it at all. ”
"Later, more than a month ago, the Taoist priest who originally replaced the Li family's town house came again, and every family asked him to do it, so they all slept peacefully at night......
Tang Guo's right eyebrow arched slightly, listening to Mrs. Zhou talking about the Taoist priest in the town, she was a little concerned.
"What's that Taoist priest's name? Do you know? Tang Guo asked.
Mrs. Zhou nodded: "Of course I remember, the Taoist priest's surname is Lu, the Taoist head of Xuanqingguan in Nanfu." ”
Tang Guo sighed lightly and broke the celery in his hand: "I know the Xuanqing Temple in Nanfu, but there are only a few Taoist priests in this Taoist Temple, but there is no one surnamed Lu......."
Mrs. Zhou was stunned, looked at Tang Guo and said, "Miss Tang, you ...... What do you mean? ”
"There's something strange about this priest." Tang Guo blinked his eyes and asked, "Why didn't he get rid of that sneak when he first came to Yuanqi Village?" Cultivators all understand that the longer the sneaky Yin gathers the Yin, the stronger the strength, that is, the best to deal with when it is discovered first, and it will inevitably be the same as today's situation if it is delayed......
Mrs. Zhou shook her head and said: "I don't know very well, but I heard that it seems that the Li family does not allow it, saying that it is the ghost of their Li family, and it is to appease the town house and protect their Li family's heirs." ”
Tang Guo: "......"
Heh, ghosts?!
She is only a ghost and god in this world, and she dares to call herself a ghost or god in vain?
She felt offended.
……
Tang Guo's face was not very good, and Mrs. Zhou also saw it, and asked cautiously, "Miss Tang, do you really know how to read feng shui?" ”
"Naturally."
"Can that summon spirits?" Mrs. Zhou's eyes were red, and she held her with both hands, only to find that her hands were cold and not like ordinary people.
Tang Guo lowered his eyes and looked at her hands, and whispered comfortingly: "Sister Zhou, you'd better not hold my hand, I'm a natural psychic, my body temperature is lower than that of ordinary people, and the yin qi in my body is slightly heavier, I'm afraid it will collide with you." ”
Mrs. Zhou immediately let go of her hand, a little afraid, but her eyes were even hotter, and she looked at her burningly: "I heard that psychic people can see ghosts, Miss Tang, can you let me see my Maomao?" And my family Maosheng? ”
"My two sons are miserable......"
"A young man who was finally admitted to Xiucai, and the boat sank on the way back from the academy, and when we found someone to salvage him, my family gave birth to him...... Woowoo woo ......"
Mrs. Zhou choked up, Tang Guo stretched out her hand, didn't pat her on the back, gave Chang Qing, who was silently reducing her sense of existence, a look, and motioned to the other party to hurry up and comfort her.
……
After listening to Tang Guo's flickering on the side, Chang Qing felt that the ghost king was really full of lies, but she could still keep her face unchanged, and she could hardly find any flaws from beginning to end, if he hadn't known that she was the ghost king of Lin Qi City, he would have to believe it.
What Fairy Sword Gate?
What to look at Feng Shui?
That ghost can read feng shui? Psychic?
The body temperature of the psychic person is relatively low, and this ghost king is not a human at all, of course there is no human body temperature.
His young and pure soul was hit by 100,000 points of critical attack in just one stick of incense, and the three views were shattered on the spot and forced to reorganize.
……
Chang Qing reluctantly put away his cracked expression, walked to Mrs. Zhou's side, and gently patted Mrs. Zhou's back.
He is a disciple of Buddhism, and he was born with a power that can calm people's hearts, and his soft voice soothed: "Auntie, don't be too sad, the purpose of Master Tang's visit this time is indeed to let you meet your son." ”
Mrs. Zhou suddenly raised her head, grabbed Tang Guo's hand again, and asked earnestly, "Really?" Really, Miss Tang? ”
Tang Guo glanced at the little ghost who was anxiously spinning in place, sighed lightly, and nodded to confirm Chang Qing's words.
"Thank you Miss Tang, thank you Miss Tang......"
Mrs. Zhou knelt directly on the ground and thanked her, Tang Guo quickly jumped and avoided her kneeling.
She is not the ancestor of Mrs. Zhou, and she can't withstand this worship, which will damage her yin morality.
Tang Guo hurriedly said: "You get up first, don't worship me, I can't stand it if you worship me." ”
Chang Qing probably knew something, and immediately reached out to pull Mrs. Zhou up, and said softly: "Auntie, you thank Lord Tang like this, her yin virtue is damaged, and it is not good for her......"
Mrs. Zhou stopped moving, stood up on her knees, looked at Tang Guo and said, "Miss Tang, when will I be able to see my Maomao?" ”
Tang Guo said seriously: "Before I see your child, I still need to explain a few points to you, you can listen carefully." ”
"Okay, as long as you can let me meet Maomao, I will listen to whatever you say."
Tang Guo: "That's not necessary. ”
She is not a crooked way, why should a human be obedient to herself, it is too troublesome.
