Chapter 177: Mingxuan Ghost House Tea Garden
Di Xin and I followed Zhong Kui and grew up to Zhong Kui's mansion. Di Xin and I followed Zhong Kui into the house, and as soon as we entered the hall, we saw a woman sitting on a chair in the main hall. The woman looked the size of a woman in her thirties. The bun on his head was wrapped in a gray-blue homespun cloth, and it seemed that he had lived a rather poor life. Although he is not young, this face is very delicate. The face is fair and transparent. Cherry-sized red lips with a well-proportioned and graceful figure. A pair of eyes are watery, dark brown eyes, and the eyes blink with a strong charm. Wearing a white Luo skirt, with a thin waist and a wide belt. When this Fengxi's face was not destroyed, it was the best-looking woman I had ever seen. And the appearance of the woman in front of her is not inferior to Feng Xi at all. If you were younger, I'm afraid this would be even better!
The woman saw that Zhong Kui was back, and took a bite of a pear in her hand.
"Do you know how to come back? I guess if you're okay, you won't be able to go back. Tell me, what is the matter with your return? ”
I saw Zhong Kui rubbing his hands together, and walked to the woman with a smile.
"Hehe......," the woman turned her face to the side.
I saw that Zhong Kui was hunched again, rubbing his hands and walking to the other side of the couple.
"Hey......
The woman finally fell on Zhong Kui's face, and the indifference in her gaze made people feel a little chilled.
"Came back and asked me for money, didn't you?"
Zhong Kui looked at the woman,
"Hey, hey!"
"Beat me to marry you, and you will take me from place to place. You didn't give me anything after you died, but it's a pity that I'm such a person to marry such a useless thing as you. How did I go blind in the first place, and follow you useless guy. ”
"Madame, I'm about to get married. I've handed over all the monthly money to you, and I haven't left any of Zhong Kui! ”
"Think of me back then, eating meat and forest. Drinking into a pool. How could it be that I fell in love with you at the beginning, and conspired with you to kill King Xia. I regret it, I've had enough of this kind of life now. ”
I listened to it for a long time and finally understood, the woman in front of me must not be an ordinary person before her death, but I don't dare to speculate casually. So what about this Zhong Kui, what kind of person was he when he was alive?
Zhong Kui, who is circulated among the people, is a person who learned to be rich and five cars in Nanshan at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and after winning the champion, it was actually only passed on by word of mouth in the later period. As everyone knows, the person in front of me is the original prototype of Zhong Kui himself, and there was already Zhong Kui in the Great Shang Dynasty.
"Madam, I know that my life is a little poorer now, but my Zhong Kui will one day be promoted and appreciated by Lord Yama." Zhong Kui looked at the woman and replied.
"Fart, I've heard you say this for hundreds of years. Every time you say that, I believe it, but what is the result? Every time I am disappointed, I am still spending the finances I saved in Xia Guo during my lifetime. You're good, and you're still licking your face and coming back and asking me for money? Then the woman got up and walked into the back hall, and in a few moments she took out a sickle. Looking at Zhong Kui,
"I'm going to kill you and ask me for money!"
"Madam, are there any outsiders? Can you save me some face? ”
To tell the truth, the husband and wife quarreled, how should Di Xin and I persuade it?
"Madam, just spare Zhong Kui, right?" Dixin asked, looking at the woman.
The woman looked at Di Xin with her scythe, and seemed to ease up a little.
"Y-You're alive?"
"I've seen Madame in Lower Dixin."
"What? The descendant of Shang Tang, the thirty-first king of the Great Shang? The woman put down the sickle she was holding to slash Zhong Kui,
"Hehehehehehe! Okay, the descendants of SenseTime. Yi Yin and I are loyal to you, and you only gave him an empty title and the name of Prime Minister, and then ignored us. We have made great contributions to Yin Shang! The twenty-ninth generation of Shang Tang's kings have all become immortals and ascended to heaven. As for me and Yi Yin, he is now just a small Saint Monarch Heavenly Master in the underworld. As for me, I'm still a ghost of the underworld. ”
What Zhong Kui in front of him turned out to be, it turned out to be Yi Yin, so isn't this woman the sister of the Xia Dynasty?
Zhong Kui hurriedly looked at Meixi,
"Madame, don't talk about it. Don't make a noise! ”
"What if I make a statement, let your Lord Hades come and kill me? You useless thing, see I don't hack you! ”
"Hey! Ay! Madame's mercy! ”
Zhong Kui left me and Di Xin and ran out, and then the woman turned back to look at us with the sickle in her hand, and I took Di Xin's hand and ran out to the door.
But I heard the woman crying out from behind,
"Zhong Kui, if you don't get it back, I'll go to the Hades Palace to make trouble, and let you serve there without face."
I'll go, this woman is so spicy. We all ran out of the house, and she was still standing in the doorway, BBB endlessly.
We finally caught up with Zhong Kui, who waved his hand and signaled us not to mention it. Then he shook his head helplessly,
"The two of you are smiling!"
"No, no! It seems that my big businessman can't stand you husband and wife! Di Xin hurriedly replied.
"Forget it, don't mention that. Shall I take you to the ghost market? There is a market in this yang world, and we also have it in the underworld, but all the things we buy there are things for our ghosts, but this young lady is not an ordinary person, maybe she will have something that can be used. ”
"Ghost market? Okay, then ask Brother Zhong Kui to lead the way, right? Even if I don't have anything I can use, I can go shopping and have some fun! ”
Zhong Kui nodded at us,
"Okay, come with me!"
Di Xin and I held hands and followed Zhong Kui, and Zhong Kui led us through the streets and alleys of the underworld, through these houses in the underworld. Then we came to a market full of people.
The difference between this and the human market is that most of the people here are floating. It can't be regarded as a human being, it should be a ghost, and there are a few ghosts with mana who are walking on this market. The streets of this street are lined with ghosts or ghosts who sell things. In the center of the road is a river with an arch bridge. There are a lot of vendors on both sides of the bridge who sell their wares. On the other side of the river is a small two-story building. The exterior of this small building is made of wood, which seems to be painted with a layer of red vermilion paint.
Zhong Kui led us to the door and shook his head to look at us,
"Why don't I Zhong Kui be a penny, otherwise I'll take you to listen to a little song and drink a little wine or something?"
Di Xin took out two shell coins from his waist,
"You see you can use this shellfish here?"
It is said that Di Xin has been out of the palace for a long time, and the shell coins on his body are not endless. I'm afraid it's almost bottoming out.
In the last years of the Shang Dynasty, there is no paper yet, so naturally there will be no paper for the Yin people. At this time, most of the ghosts in the underworld are funeral offerings in front of peanuts, or they serve in the underworld to get some money, as well as incense, clothes, and food offered by their descendants. So, this ghost with descendants usually has a small expense. But it is said that although this Yi Yin assisted the three generations of kings of the Great Shang Dynasty, Yi Yin had the ambition to seek power and usurp the throne. Banished the Shang King Taijia, and then Taijia sneaked back and killed Yi Yin.
Then it can be imagined, how big the crime of seeking power and usurping the throne is, but Taijia still remembered that Yi Yin had a meritorious service to Dashang, so he released Yi Yin's two sons, Yi Zhi and Yi Fen. Then Yi Yin will not have no successor! Come to think of it, it has been nearly 600 years from the time of Shang Tang to the last years of the Great Shang. It is estimated that Yi Yin's subordinates are gone, who can still remember him?
Therefore, his life in the underworld is also very difficult!
Zhong Kui's eyes lit up, and he took the shell coin in Di Xin's hand,
"This yang object is a rare object in the underworld, and this one is very valuable. I guess we'll have enough to eat and play here. ”
In this way, Di Xin and I followed Zhong Kui and strode into this garden where you can watch plays and listen to small songs.
This time I entered the door, and there were some wooden chairs and benches inside. The beams above and the handrails of the stairs are also all made of wood. But I could see that the material of this wood was extremely ordinary, and a shopkeeper dressed in homespun gray clothes walked towards us with a smiling face, and then looked at Zhong Kui,
"Oh, it's Master Zhong Tianshi, you haven't been to our garden for a long time to listen to a little song?"
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and find us a few elegant seats, soak a pot of good Longjing, and have a few plates of peanuts."
"Huh? Howler! Uncle Zhong Kui, please go upstairs, there are just a few seats upstairs, just enough for a few people to sit. ”
Zhong Kui walked up the stairs in front, and Di Xin and I also followed closely behind.
"It just so happens that there are four private seats in one window seat, shall we go and sit there?" Zhong Kui turned his head to look at me and Di Xin and said.
So we sat down in the four private seats by the window. This little two's action is also very fast, we just sat down, on the pot of good Longjing, I lay in front of the spout of this teapot and sniffed, I didn't expect it to be the real taste of Longjing, fresh and tangy, the smell of this tea is exceptionally good?
I saw Di Xin reach for the teapot and want to pour himself a cup. I immediately patted the back of his hand,
"Hey!"
"What's the matter, how can I still remember this tea?"
The shopkeeper poured a cup for each of the three of us.
"Three guest officers, please use it slowly!"
I looked downstairs, and when we came up from the downstairs just now, the downstairs was still empty. In such a short period of time, a stage was set up downstairs, and there was a man and a woman on the stage, and their faces were painted with oil paint. I just listened to the gongs and drums of my life, and then I started singing. I didn't understand the reason yet, but I saw Zhong Kui slapping his face and shouting,
"Okay! That's exciting! ”
I looked at the top of the stage and saw a plaque hanging on it, which read "Drunken Spring Garden".
