Before the fire, Jiang's Mansion was a large family sitting and eating together, and at this time, most of the house was burned down, not to mention the place to eat, even the place to live was very tense, and many people lived in the inn outside, and there was no place for them to eat together.

In order to leave my grandfather and Xiao Laodao to eat, the eldest master of the Jiang family specially asked people to move a large round table into the house, found a few chairs, and his own family accompanied my grandfather and Xiao Laodao to eat together.

However, in addition to my grandfather, Xiao Laodao, and the eldest master of the Jiang family at the dinner table, there were two young people, and the grandfather looked at them, one could be in his early twenties, and the other was eighteen or nineteen years old. After looking at it, the master and Xiao Laodao, who was sitting next to him, glanced at each other, because these two young people, one was blind and the other was stupid, and there were two maids standing beside them. The blind master has never seen it, this fool is not a stranger, it is the one who was at the door of the inn before, whipping people and running crazy.

Xiao Laodao naturally saw it, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and the master immediately remembered what he said before: The well is blind in front of the grave, and the well is out of fools behind the grave, but I didn't expect that this blind man and fool are both the sons of this old man Jiang.

When the grandfather and Xiao Laodao saw the two sons of the Jiang family, they both had ghosts in their hearts, and when they were eating, neither of them took the initiative to say a word, and the Jiang family asked a question, and they had a match or not, so they answered casually.

After chatting for a few words, the eldest master of the Jiang family asked my grandfather, "Brother Liu, I heard from my second brother that you once swept Xiangma Village in Shandong, killed the Dragon King in the Yellow River, and called yourself the Dragon Slayer, is it true?" ”

The master was burying his head in the vegetables at this time, and when he heard this, he raised his head and glanced at the eldest master of the Jiang family, and replied: "It's not me who calls myself a dragon slayer, it's someone else who calls me that." ”

The eldest lord of the Jiang family let out an "oh", and then asked: "I see that your age is the same as my second son, and you are only eighteen or nineteen years old, with your age, can you really kill the Dragon Lord in the Yellow River?" ”

When the master heard this, he picked up the dish and put it in his mouth, and didn't say anything more. Because since the name "Dragon Slayer" came out, there have been many people who have questioned him, but whenever anyone knows that he is the Dragon Slayer Liu Niandao, they will ask him like this, and he has been asked more times, so he is too lazy to explain to others.

The eldest master of the Jiang family saw that my grandfather was silent, and there was a trace of relief on his face, and the grandfather glanced at him, and immediately understood, his two sons, one fool and one blind, of course he didn't want other people's sons to be so good.

The master summed up in his heart, and said again, "That's not a dragon lord at all, it's just a fish, and the rumors in the rivers and lakes are not to be believed." ”

When the elder of the Jiang family heard this, he immediately smiled faintly, this seemed to be the answer he wanted to hear.

After a while, the eldest master of the Jiang family asked again: "Sweeping the Xiangma Cottage in Shandong, what is going on?" ”

The master frowned slightly, he was the most reluctant to be mentioned by others, because what he did at that time was a little invincible, and the master suddenly replied tepidly: "The ancients have clouds, and they don't say anything about food, Master Jiang, let's eat." ”

Seeing this, Xiao Laodao, who was sitting next to my grandfather, hurriedly played a round, raised his wine glass and saluted to the eldest master of the Jiang family, Xiao Laodao said: "Master Jiang, let's eat first, and after cutting the peach blossom essence on Ling Qianjin's body, it is not too late to sit down and talk slowly." ”

The eldest master of the Jiang family nodded, and finally he could get off the stage, so he didn't ask anything, but at this moment, the stupid son who was sitting opposite my grandfather looked at my grandfather and smirked, and muttered: Food is silent, food is silent......

The eldest master of the Jiang family suddenly showed an embarrassed face, looked at the two maids next to him, and said, "I see that the two of them are also full, send them back to the room." When the two maids heard this, they hurriedly agreed and pulled the two young masters away.

Then, the eldest man of the Jiang family said to the woman next to him: "You can also go down, see how Yao'er is doing, and feed her some food." When the woman heard this, she got up and departed.

After the woman left, the eldest master of the Jiang family sighed lightly, and after a while, the eldest master of the Jiang family asked Xiao Laodao, "Dao Chief, I don't know how many of your masters and apprentices there are, why did you come to our town?" ”

Xiao Laodao smiled, put down his chopsticks and replied: "Those of us who run the rivers and lakes, the four seas are our homes, of course, there are people going where, in recent days, I and a few apprentices happened to pass by Guizhen." ”

The eldest master of the Jiang family nodded, and asked again: "Is the Taoist chief a fortune-teller and feng shui for a living?" ”

Xiao Laodao replied: "Feng Shui fortune telling, poor Dao only knows a little bit about ......"

"The Taoist is too humble." Before Xiao Lao Dao finished speaking, the eldest master of the Jiang family interrupted him and said: "If it weren't for the Taoist chief's clever calculation and guidance the day before yesterday, our Jiang family would not know what kind of disaster would befall us...... Saying that, the eldest master of the Jiang family actually stood up from the chair, arched his hand at Xiao Lao Dao inexplicably, and said, "Dao chief, you see...... Can you tell me a fate, don't worry, I can take out as many silver taels as I want. ”

Xiao Laodao glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter, is there something wrong with the eldest master?" ”

The eldest man of the Jiang family suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Daochang Xiao, aren't you joking, don't talk about the fire in front of you, just say that my two sons and daughter, the eldest son can't see since he was a child, and the second son, alas...... Born a fool, two sons and a daughter, only the daughter is normal, and well-behaved and sensible, but I don't think about it, and now I am getting into trouble with what kind of peach blossom spirit, Dao Chief, you say, should I give myself a life? ”

Xiao Laodao looked at the eldest master of the Jiang family, and slowly raised his hand, the master could see from his gesture of raising his hand at this time, he wanted to brush the goatee under his chin, but the beard had been cut off by him, and his hand was raised to halfway, Xiao Laodao seemed to think about it, and quickly took it back.

Clearing his throat, Xiao Laodao said: "Actually, you don't need to count these things in your family at all!" ”

When the elder of the Jiang family heard this, he suddenly showed a confused expression, "Dao Chief, how can you say this?" ”

Xiao Laodao said: "Poor Dao has an upright temperament, and he speaks straightforwardly, if I say it, I'm afraid that I will offend the eldest master." ”

The eldest master of the Jiang family said: "If the Taoist chief has anything to say, how can he be offended if he listens to it." ”

"Okay then." Xiao Laodao said: "There is a way, there will be afterglow in the family of goodness, and there will be aftermath in the house of unkindness...... Let's not talk about the distance, just say that in your town, what good things have your family done to the villagers? ”

When Master Jiang heard this, his face showed a trace of shame, and he lowered his head slowly, Xiao Laodao continued: "When Poor Dao first came to Guibaodi, I heard that the subordinates in Jiang's mansion were walking sideways on the street, and that day I also saw the second young master of your family, whipping people all over the street, no one dared to care, what is this, this is the house of accumulation...... "Saying, Xiao Laodao knocked his fingers on the table a few times, "If you don't accumulate virtue and don't do good, what's the use of fortune telling?" ”

The face of the eldest master of the Jiang family suddenly turned red, but he seemed to be a little unconvinced, and said in a low voice: "If you want to say that you don't accumulate virtue and don't do good, then my second brother ...... than I have done any less, why is his son, his son ......"

"Why is his son fine, but your son is blind and stupid, right?"

"yes, why is that?"

Xiao Laodao immediately asked: "Then let me ask you, who is the head of the family in your Jiang family now?" ”

The eldest master of the Jiang family was stunned, "Of course it's my ......"

Xiao Laodao said: "There are thousands of people in the family, if you people in the Jiang Mansion cause trouble outside, will they all find you in the end?" ”

"This ......"

"Just like the fire in your house, it was your second brother who colluded with the flower thief to attract heavenly punishment, but did he also burn down your house?"

"This, this ......" The eldest master of the Jiang family groaned, and after a long while, he showed an expression of sudden realization, "Dao Chief, I understand, but what should I do?" ”

"Good!" Xiao Laodao nodded and said: "Knowing mistakes can improve the great way, it's not too late to make amends, the poor road will show you a clear way, only fourteen words, you remember, just do it in the future." ”

The eldest master of the Jiang family hurriedly gave Xiao Lao Dao his hand again, "Dao Chief, please speak." ”

Xiao Laodao straightened his face, "Don't take evil as small, don't take good as small!" ”

After lunch, the eldest master of the Jiang family personally sent my grandfather and Xiao Laodao to the door of the mansion, and expressed his gratitude to Xiao Laodao.

On the way back to the inn, the grandfather asked Xiao Laodao, what did you do in Jiang's mansion that day, and why did this arrogant old man obey you.

Xiao Laodao smiled and said to my grandfather, at that time, the ghost monkey jumped into the Jiang Mansion and set it on fire, he had already explained to the ghost monkey in advance, and after the Jiang Mansion was burning, you must let the people in the Jiang Mansion see you, and after they saw you clearly, you would run again.

The people in Jiang's mansion, after seeing the ghost monkey, thought it was a monster, at this time, Xiao Laodao led my grandfather again, and wrote sixteen big characters at the door of Jiang's mansion: For the tiger, the sky is angry and people are resentful, the ghost and the demon set fire, and burn the mansion.

After the people of Jiang Mansion found these sixteen words, combined with the monsters they saw at night, they really thought that they were monsters arson. In the past, people were superstitious, and if the monster set fire, it must have offended the gods.

At this time, Xiao Laodao appeared, and as a passerby, he went to Jiang's house to give the fake master guidance. At the beginning, this old man Jiang didn't believe it, and Xiao Laodao described to the old man of the Jiang family what the monster that set the fire yesterday looked like, tall, short, fat and thin, what kind of hair, what kind of eyes, exactly what they saw.
