Volume 2 Rivers, Lakes and Seas Chapter 6 Rumors of grievances during the banquet

"Old Sun, have you noticed that the strength of the man sitting across from you is extraordinary?" Grandpa Godfather leaned over to the master and whispered. Sitting across from the master was the man who looked like Zhang Tielin.

Master nodded and said, "I deliberately splashed some water stains just now, although he has somewhat restrained the Qi field, but the water droplets still only float on the surface of his skin and do not adduct inward, and when I wipe it with a tissue, I can't even see a trace of wetness." Such a person may not be as strong as the two of us. ”

I listened to Master's words, and I also tried to drip a little water on my hands, and then I wiped it, and when I looked closely, there were really traces of slightly moisturized skin.

Seeing this, Master thought it was funny and couldn't help but grin.

Then he continued: "And the other man has a murderous eye in his eyes, a man who has seen blood and has taken a knife. People like them must have other intentions when they appear here. ”

Listening to the whispered conversation between the master and the godfather, my heart fluttered, and the master also had no scruples, it is estimated that he noticed it as soon as he met, and deliberately approached, many temptations, the person opposite is not a fool, naturally he can detect the master's intentions, otherwise he will not leave immediately.

At this time, the waiter brought another dish, and then looked at us with some surprise, and said, "Everyone has the dishes, eh......"

He stared at the dish in front of us with a changeable expression, and finally looked at us with a strange gaze, and then turned away.

The four of us looked at Master one after another, and I couldn't help but ask, "Master, how many dishes have you ordered?" ”

"Two, what's wrong?" He replied with an absent-minded expression.

Two!? As soon as the emotional master came up, he had the idea of playing a few dishes on the other side, and he didn't know if it was his real purpose to test the other party, or if he was eyeing those dishes, if the latter he was too useless...... Moreover, he is too picky, right, and he has to save money on a few dishes?

I saw that the senior sister's face was covered with clouds, and the chopsticks were thrown on the table, and she turned her head to glare at the master and said, "Master, finally the senior brothers gathered and came out for a meal, do you plan to send us away with leftovers?" ”

"That's ......," the senior brother echoed.

As a result, the senior brother was glared at by the master, and suddenly looked like a wilting bean sprout.

The senior sister's momentum did not decrease, and said, "Do you want to order?" Don't click me! With that, the senior sister stood up and greeted the waiter.

"Don't, auntie, can't I order it! If you want to order it, you can't strip my clothes and pants off Master! With that, the waiter ran over, and the master ordered two more dishes with a painful face.

At the end, he also muttered: "Other people's dishes are hot, and they don't eat much, what a pity to waste it......"

Before she finished speaking, the senior sister's sharp eyes fluttered, and the master suddenly wilted.

Seeing such a scene, I finally understood what my senior brother said, as the saying goes, a woman can hold up half the sky, and our sister is the sky.

Speaking of the dishes around Taihu Lake, there are three uniques, steamed white fish, drunk shrimp and whitebait soup, which is the so-called Taihu Lake Sanbai, but anyone who comes to the waters of Taihu Lake to dine these three dishes must order, we will naturally not fall, although the master is stingy, but also good mouthful, three dishes do not fall. These three white are different from the freshwater fish and shrimp that are farmed ordinarily, but the fishermen come out of the water to look at the moon one by one, all of them are game, the meat is fresh and tender, fat but not greasy, very delicious, and our mouths have never stopped as soon as the dish is served.

During the meal, the people at the next table drank and talked about the things that made us more concerned.

"I've heard a lot of strange things happening in this area of Taihu Lake recently! It made the fishermen panic. ”

"Oh! What's weird? Let's hear it. ”

"You all know that fishermen go out to sea to fish, in order to be efficient, some like to go out at night and use searchlights to lure fish, but some time ago a very strange legend began to circulate among fishermen."

"Eun, don't stop."

"I'll take a sip first. It is like this, when some of the people who had gone out fishing at night came back, their faces turned pale, as if they had seen a ghost, and when others asked, they actually said that they had heard the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves on the lake. At first, some people didn't believe it, thinking that they were suspicious, but it was actually a rumor, but later, many people encountered similar things. There are always those who have the audacity to drive the boat in which direction it sounds, and guess what! ”

"What's wrong?"

"Some people clearly heard the cries of many people on the lake, men and women, and all kinds of local languages, some who said 'I am so wronged,' some who shouted as if they were tortured and in pain, and some who cried for their fathers and mothers at funerals. Ouch, this sound came from the black-lit lake, and even the most daring people had to pee their pants in fear, so that no one dared to go out fishing in the middle of the night anymore. Even the larger cargo ships avoided waters where similar situations had occurred as much as possible. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I've heard the news too, and I've heard that there have been wars in this area before, and a lot of people have died, and the souls of those people have gathered to cry out for injustice!"

"No, you're just guessing. Listen to me, then this incident alarmed the local department, thinking that someone was making trouble, and sent troops to patrol the water, and the troops in the army were all hard men, who were never afraid of ghosts and gods, what happened! As soon as the patrol boat returned, the people on board turned pale and said that they didn't want to go any more.

I couldn't help it, so I invited someone who was engaged in scientific research to record these voices with professional recording equipment and take them back for careful study. Hey, that voice is unbearable for ordinary people, and there are many people who are scared and crying, and it is also a pain for those people who are engaged in science. But finally there was a result, and I heard that most of the voices were those who had died tragically before, crying out for injustice, saying how they were tortured and persecuted, how they were subjected to humiliation and punishment, how they suffered from suffering and disasters, and the voices of crying and mourning others. ”

"But there's always a way to say that, right? It is impossible for this to happen for no reason. ”

"That's right, I heard that this is also related to the King of the Earth Bodhisattva, you all know that the ancestral court of the King of the Earth - Xiao Jiuhua Mountain is in the county seat under the jurisdiction of Lake City, when the Earth Treasure Bodhisattva practiced here, he found that the souls in this area were raging, so he suppressed countless souls in the Taihu Lake, and the mana of the Bodhisattva was long-lasting, so that almost all the souls wandering in this area from ancient times to the present have been suppressed in the Taihu Lake. It's just that because Taihu Lake has been overdeveloped recently and polluted severely, the seal of the suppression has been broken, so a lot of unjust souls have been released, and such a thing has happened. ”

"And what about later? You have to find a way to solve it! Otherwise, it will make people panic. ”

"That is, later the place found dozens of monks, settled in the nearby temples, and chanted the scriptures day and night, so that this matter slowly calmed down, I heard that several provinces and cities along the Taihu Lake have done this, so ah, it is estimated that there must be hundreds of monks to practice, and the scale is scary to think about."

"So this is settled?"

"Who knows, I heard that there are still fishermen who are still spreading the news one after another, or if this happens! You see, those Taoist priests over there are probably people invited by the local government to help. ”

As we spoke, the people over there looked at us.

"Why don't you ask?"

"Don't, people like them, how can they tell us the truth, these are secret events, and only those who have experienced it know that they have a very strange temper, let's not touch that mold."

The master had a nonchalant expression, tasting side dishes and drinking tea.

I whispered to Master, "Master, are they telling the truth?" ”

Master shrugged his shoulders and said, "How do I know, it has nothing to do with us anyway, just listen to the story." ”

A few of us swept away all the dishes on the dinner table, including the three people on the other side, but Senior Sister seemed to mind eating other people's leftovers, so she only moved the four dishes that Master ordered herself.

After eating, one of us went downstairs to settle the bill, four dishes of forty-seven yuan, the waiter looked at the master with a look of disdain, and the master turned a blind eye, and looked at the godfather with expectant eyes.

Grandpa God's eyes were swept by the master's gaze, and he was shocked, and said, "I don't have any money." ”

The master sighed and muttered, "Poor Taoist, rub Lao Tzu's rice every day." With that, he pulled out a crumpled fifty yuan from his sleeve, and the waiter took it with a look of disgust, and then stretched out his hand.

The master was stunned and said, "Isn't it enough?" ”

"The rice also costs money, the five of you have eaten four pots of rice, one pot and two yuan, a total of eight yuan, and there is still a difference of five yuan!" The waiter shouted with a frown.

"Money for food? Are you poor and afraid? It's rare to come and eat once, get a discount, and take the change. Master said with a hippie smile.

"We are a small business, a discount is not to lose money, hurry up!" The waiter looked impatient, just like when he first greeted us.

The master looked in pain, took out a wet five-yuan paper and pen from his belt, stuffed it into the waiter's hand, and scolded: "If you don't come to eat at your house in the future, it's unlucky!" ”

With that, Master walked away.

We also trotted to keep up with the Master, only to hear a scolding from behind us: "A group of poor ghosts! ”

Senior Sister couldn't help but complain: "Master, with you, we have lost all our faces." ”

"That's ......," the senior brother echoed again.

The master gave the senior brother a brain meltdown and said to us: "Remember, don't let any foul language disturb your will, this is a kind of artistic conception and mind, there is a good saying, go your own way and let others say it." If you look at Master and I, it doesn't take it seriously at all, they insult and spit foul language, which messes up their own state of mind, and it also destroys their own virtues. As the saying goes, everything is floating dust, and it is not disturbed by the red dust, and it is a person who achieves such a state of mind, understand? ”

I couldn't help but laugh, and only Master could find such a good reason for his own slamming of the door, and educate us along the way.

At this time, the voice of the godfather came: "Hmph, return the master!" I don't know which scoundrel won't admit it if he loses the bet! Alas...... Wash your feet for seven days! ”

"Stinky Daoist! If you don't speak, you'll die! The master pointed at the godfather and immediately scolded.

It seems that the master really repaid the debt, no wonder the godfather washed it himself for the past two days.

Several of us laughed, and the senior sister held her stomach with one hand, pointed at the master with the other and said, "Hahaha, master, what about your discipline?" What about your master? No, I'll have to supervise your fulfillment of your bet for the next two days. ”

The master smiled bitterly and said to the senior sister: "Yue'er, the master is very pitiful, you can spare the master." ”
