Chapter 770: Not seen for a day
It's not that the two haven't been separated before, Li Xun left Maple Village and returned to Beijing, and the two have been separated for a long time, but that was before the two got married, and many things happened later, and the relationship has long been different from before.
Mei Qingqian sat in front of the bronze mirror in a daze, the figure was blurry, naturally it could not be compared with a more modern mirror, but it added a bit of confusion to her image.
She wasn't angry yet, but she was already thinking about him.
Accustomed to being together every day, it is like three autumns if you don't see each other for a day. If she saw these words in her previous life, she would only think it was funny, and only now did she understand where the love came and went deeper.
Mei Qingqian pondered his question, I'm afraid they didn't just come to choose a place for the national teacher, but also to inspect the people's situation by the way.
Zheng Ru nodded, "Then the villagers should go back and get busy, don't delay the farming, just take us to see the village chief and the elders." ”
Zhang Ping'an motioned for everyone to disperse first, Mei Qingqian was really about to leave, and suddenly heard someone shouting: "This village is full of demonic energy, it's not a day or two, haven't you noticed it?" ”
The villagers who were about to leave immediately stopped leaving, and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a Taoist chief wearing a Taoist robe standing at the entrance of the village with a peachwood sword, and the wind blew his Taoist robe, which felt like a fairy wind and bones.
Zheng Ru frowned, he didn't like this kind of pretending to be a ghost the most.
Zhang Ping'an noticed his displeasure and hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, my lord, this Taoist priest is not from this village, and I don't know where he came to make trouble." ”
At this moment, the rune paper in Daochang Chen's hand spontaneously combusted without fire, and many people exclaimed when they saw it.
"Look at how big the demon qi is, as soon as the demon talisman is taken out, it spontaneously combusts, don't you still believe it?" Dao Chen said loudly.
Zheng Ru recognized this Chen Daochang, and his brows tightened.
He whispered to the waiter beside him, "I have seen this Taoist priest in the town, who behaved inappropriately and manipulated the woman. ”
Zheng Ru was conservative, and he was particularly unaccustomed to the appearance of Chen Daochang drinking wine and touching the "woman's" hand that day.
But before he could speak, a villager shouted, "The Taoist chief has subdued demons and eliminated demons, and he must save our village!" ”
Chen Daochang looked at the officials without humility or arrogance, and said: "My master has a kind of formation, which can find out where the demonic qi is, and I don't enter the village, so I will do it here, but a stick of incense, if there is a fake, let you dispose of it!" ”
"It's nonsense, how can there be a demon in a peaceful and prosperous world? This official looks at you like a demon. Zheng Ruban said with a lower face.
Chen Daochang was a little surprised in his heart, but his face did not change.
He has been abducted and deceived outside all these years, and most people are afraid of ghosts and gods, especially when he revealed the spontaneous combustion of the rune paper, even half-believing people will ask a few more questions.
But how did this official reject it so much, could it be that he could see the problem of his rune paper?
It's impossible, this is something he has been studying for a long time, and no one has told him, let alone so far away, what can the senior official see?
There is only one possibility, and this person does not believe in evil.
He sneered in his heart, it seemed that he could only make this and that hand.
"This adult can understand if he doesn't believe it, then I'll take out the sect's magic weapon and look at the demon mirror and show it to everyone."
Chen Daochang took out a palm-sized brass mirror from his arms, walked up to Zheng Ru, and took a picture of the outside of the village, and the brass mirror reflected a somewhat vague scene, nothing special.
"I don't see any demonic spirits." Zheng Ru said unhappily.
"That's because it's outside the village, please look inside the village." After Chen Daochang finished speaking, he pointed the mirror at the village, and even Zheng Ru, who did not believe in evil at all, was taken aback.
An accompanying official approached, saw it clearly, and exclaimed: "Why is the village red?" Is that demonic energy? ”
Some people in the village were closer, and when they saw the scene in the mirror turn red, they exclaimed one by one, forgetting that there were still officials, and they began to talk about it one by one.
Chen Daochang was very satisfied with the effect he made, but his face was not obvious, and he still looked upright.
"Don't worry, at this time, the demonic energy is still just ordinary red, and the poor road can be dealt with. But if you leave it alone, when the demonic energy turns bright red, I'm afraid that many people will die in this village. He sighed as he spoke.
Zhang Ping'an's face was extremely difficult to see, how could a Taoist priest come out so well?
He really wanted to slap this Taoist priest's face, what is the demonic spirit in the village, their village is obviously very good, outstanding people, good feng shui, this Taoist priest said that the imperial court still chose their village?
But the official was asking, and it was inconvenient for him to interject, so he could only wait by the side, hoping that the court officials would not believe this demonic word?
Zheng Ru saw Chen Daochang touching the woman's hand, and he was very displeased with him, and he was just about to scold him, when the congratulatory letter from the Ministry of Labor on his side opened.
"It's kind of like that, so let's see."
This is to ask Zheng Ru's opinion, but the two have different departments and have the same positions, but he is older, and the congratulatory letters along the way are based on him, which is very polite.
Moreover, for the construction of the ancestral hall, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the selection of feng shui treasures, as well as some steps required by the etiquette system. However, the Ministry of Engineering was responsible for the subsequent construction, and considering the problems that would arise in the future construction, it was also appropriate to have a congratulatory letter.
But Zheng Ru always felt that this Taoist priest was a liar.
Zhang Ping'an couldn't hold his breath anymore, and said stubbornly: "Please Mingjian, my lord, our village has always been safe and sound, no one has ever died accidentally, even the old people are long-lived, how can there be monsters?" ”
He Xin smiled at him, "Don't be nervous, let's take a look first, if there is really a hidden danger, it is better to investigate it earlier." ”
Speaking of which, Zhang Ping'an can't stop it anymore, otherwise he won't know how to lift.
He Xin nodded at Daochang Chen, "Please." ”
Chen Daochang was proud in his heart, touched a few array stones from his arms, and then recited the incantation with a peachwood sword.
Immediately, Chen Daochang took out a few talismans, and as soon as the talisman was thrown out, it spontaneously combusted without fire in the air, which was very weird.
He danced the peachwood sword, and the wind blew his Taoist robe, which was really like that, and the people in the village were stunned.
It didn't take too long to do it, and it was easy to have flaws after too long, and the people who watched it didn't feel mysterious.
"Your Excellency, the practice is over, and there will be a red demonic aura in the sky above the place where the monster is hiding." Chen Daochang made a gesture that was neither humble nor arrogant, "But don't worry, the court officials have righteousness, and the monsters don't dare to approach easily, not to mention that I have already suppressed her, and she can't turn over the storm." ”
"Then we'll have to see which one has the demonic spirit." The congratulatory letter seemed to believe him very much.
Mei Qingqian sneered in the crowd, her father's plan is not perfect, there are still a lot of loopholes.
What kind of formation will expose the monster's hiding place to red light, but if she is a monster, she is in the crowd, why is there no "demonic energy" above her head?
