Chapter 16: Falling Short
Two Taoist priests who spent a lot of money from the mountains said that the two oil lamps placed on Lao Lu's head and feet were related to the fate of his wife and children living in the world.
They must be made bright and nothing can happen.
Hearing this, Lao Lu's wife was very nervous.
She stared at the two oil lamps, the candles were quiet and peaceful.
The two Taoist priests still gathered around Lao Lu's corpse, jumping and jumping.
It looked funny and weird.
Suddenly, Lao Lu's wife's eyes froze, because she saw the dead Lao Lu's exposed hand, which seemed to move slightly just now.
She gasped.
Old Lu's wife stood up, and she walked up to one of the Taoist priests.
The peachwood sword in the Taoist priest's hand was dancing vigorously.
I saw him with his eyes closed, holding a wooden sword in one hand and a yellow talisman in the other, and muttering indistinctly in his mouth: "Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law!" ……”
And at this moment, Lao Lu, who was lying on the ground, had turned his hand upward.
It was like it was so hard that it clenched into a fist.
Although the five fingers suddenly stretched out again, like blooming flower bones, it looked very terrifying.
Seeing this scene, Lao Lu's wife's body was as if she had been electrocuted.
He gently tugged at the Taoist priest's robe.
Seeing that the Taoist priest hadn't reacted yet, Lao Lu's wife continued to pull again, and this time, she was much harder than before.
The Taoist priest who was dancing reflected it.
He stopped and asked what was wrong with Lao Lu's wife.
Lao Lu's wife pointed to Lao Lu's corpse lying on the ground, and said timidly: "He moved, you see he moved, he moved just now, you see his hand ......"
When she said this, Lao Lu's wife was stunned.
I saw that Lao Lu's hand, like just now, was quietly placed on the straw mat, without any movement at all.
The Taoist priest glanced at it.
Asked Lao Lu's wife what happened just now.
Lao Lu's wife said that Lao Lu's hand was like a flower, and she opened her five fingers very hard.
Another Taoist priest who was shaking the copper bell also stopped when he heard this.
He walked quickly to Lao Lu's side.
After squatting down, the Taoist priest looked at Lao Lu's hand, and gently lifted the white cloth to take a look.
He didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
He asked Lao Lu's wife again what happened just now, and Lao Lu's wife said: "His hand, moved, really moved, the movement was very big, very hard, all the way up, what did he want to grab!" ”
After hearing this, the Taoist priest with the copper bell looked up at the ceiling.
Above was a lamp, a few not too bright bulbs, burning quietly.
The Taoist priest frowned, and then immediately asked Lao Lu's wife: "Why didn't you replace the bulb immediately when the lamp was broken?" ”
Seeing that the Taoist priest's expression was very serious.
Lao Lu's wife said in a low voice: "It's Lao Lu, he said that the house doesn't need to be too bright, and he replaced all the light bulbs, which is useless, so he won't let these light bulbs be replaced!" ”
Hearing this, the Taoist priest sighed vigorously:
"Confused, confused!"
Old Lu's wife didn't quite understand.
I only heard the Taoist priest say again: "The light bulb is a symbol of light in the house, and it is also the most beneficial thing to drive away evil and avoid harm. ”
"The reason for the light bulb?"
Old Lu's wife still didn't understand.
The Taoist priest explained: "Think about it, if the house is bright and the people live in it, the mood and spirit will become very good, and those who are sick and strange will naturally not come to the door!" ”
Speaking of this, the Taoist priest who was holding a peachwood sword just now also began to echo:
"That's right, ghosts, weird things, they are afraid of bright environments, like they only dare to haunt at night, when have you ever seen them appear in the daytime? So, hurry up and change the light bulb, so that you and your son can be safe! ”
Just speaking of this, Lao Lu's son came in from outside.
After hearing this, he sneered:
"These days, whose light bulbs are all on? Could it be that every family wants to make evil things? Besides, my dad suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and fell, and he wasn't evil at all! ”
Lao Lu's son's words were very direct.
This made the faces of the two Taoist priests not very good-looking, just now on the road, this person didn't give them a good look along the way, thinking of making money, they still held back.
After hearing this, the two Taoist priests were thinking about how to reply, and they didn't want the old Lu wife on the side to blow up first.
I heard her very unceremoniously yelling at her son:
"You don't understand anything, stay with me, you don't have to pay for this money, my own money, I can use it however I want!" It has nothing to do with you! ”
Hearing this, Lao Lu's son sighed, turned around and left.
The two Taoist priests glanced at each other, and they were satisfied with Deng Guihua's performance.
So, the Taoist priest holding the peachwood sword hurriedly said: "The one you saw just now is that your husband wants to talk to you, he must still have some unfulfilled wishes, let's ask him what he wants to do, help him fulfill his wish, so that he can get on the road soon." ”
Lao Lu's wife nodded vigorously after hearing it:
"That's right, let him get on the road quickly, it's good for everyone!"
The bronze bell Taoist priest thought about it, but said:
"Well, it's ...... money."
"How?"
"We said before, the three thousand yuan will definitely not work......"
Seeing that Lao Lu's wife was a little nervous, the Tongling Taoist priest hurriedly said: "Actually, we really don't want to care about this matter, it's too draining, we have all cultivated for many years to get to where we are today, and we don't want to fall short......
The Taoist priest holding the peachwood sword also glanced at Lao Lu's wife.
He immediately came up: "However, people like us, since we have done this business, we have long put life and death out of the way, the so-called I don't go to hell, who goes to hell, if you can really eliminate disasters for you, even if it is difficult...... We can do it, too. ”
The two people on the left and the right quickly fooled Lao Lu's wife into it again.
In the end, the negotiated price was discounted and added by 3,000.
Lao Lu's wife thinks that as long as the sins are eliminated, it is not expensive.
Then, she sat on the side again and watched the two Taoist priests perform even harder.
Only this time, her eyes were staring directly at Lao Lu's two hands, and for the next two full hours, Lao Lu didn't move again.
He was lying on the ground, very quiet.
When everything was over, the two Taoist priests were leaving.
Lao Lu's wife seemed a little uneasy when she saw that it was over so quickly.
The bronze bell Taoist put away the bell in his hand, and he patted his chest and said that everything was normal.
Lao Lu's wife breathed a sigh of relief and asked her two sons to send them back. Just when she thought everything was normal, that night, terrible things happened......
