138. The weird Zhu Mansion
I saw that in the empty courtyard, there was a large vat placed in the center, the black pitch of the vat was huge, and the vat was wrapped in red silk, not bright red, but an old red, like oxygenated blood, red and black.
Directly behind the cylinder, there is a desk neatly placed, on which a bright yellow cloth is laid flat, a dark gray incense burner is displayed on it, and three incense sticks are inserted in it, and the incense burner is surrounded by various offerings.
A middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest, holding a peachwood sword in his hand, has words in his mouth.
Under the eaves behind the Taoist priest stood a middle-aged man wearing a dark red tunic with a wide body and a fat body, wearing a fine mutton fat jade wrench on his hand, which was probably the owner of Zhu Dada. Behind the big landlord of Zhu, there are several young men who are dressed similarly to Shunzi, and it is estimated that they are the same as Shunzi, and they are the subordinates of Zhu's mansion.
"It's strange, isn't this Zhu Mansion doing a happy event for her daughter in front, why is it doing it here later?" I grabbed Qi Tianyang's sleeve and whispered in his ear.
"I'm also wondering, this is a 'bloodsucking jar' to attract evil spirits, how can the big landlord of Zhu kill this thing on a happy day." Qi Tianyang raised his eyebrows and whispered to me, "I don't know what they want, let's not act rashly first." ”
I nodded, recruiting evil spirits on a happy day, is this big landlord brain-dead?
At this time, Junzi had already brought us to the big landlord of Zhu, "Master, I have already brought the guests." ”
When the landlord Zhu heard this, he greeted us enthusiastically, "We have not had guests in this village for many years, since a few people have come, they will stay here for a few more days, and they happened to meet the wedding of the little girl, and they will participate in the wedding banquet together!" ”
Although this big landlord Zhu can be said to be fat-headed and big-eared, but his enthusiasm for us is indeed true, Qi Tianyang pretended to be puzzled and pointed to the courtyard and asked, "Master Zhu, what is this?" ”
"Hey! Brother! Don't! The big landlord of Zhu hurriedly stopped Qi Tianyang from pointing at the Taoist priest's finger, "This mage can't be offended!" ”
"Master Zhu, what is this doing?"
"Exactly, since a year ago, my eldest lady's body has begun to be a little weak, and she has taken a lot of medicine from the doctor, but it has not improved. I asked someone to take my wife to the city to see a doctor, but it was not possible. Later, I went to see the mage, and the mage said that my wife was evil, alas! ”
Master Liu sighed, but I was taken aback by his words, eldest lady? Is there still a second lady and a third lady?
I only heard that the big landlord Zhu changed his tone, "Look at me, say this on this happy day!" No, my daughter is getting married, so I'll invite a mage to do it! After that, the landlord of Zhu looked at the scene in the courtyard with a smile.
The words of the big landlord of Zhu immediately made the four of us feel strange, listening to the meaning of the big landlord of Zhu, he asked the mage to do it in order to exorcise evil spirits. And Qi Tianyang said that the tank was evil?
I stabbed Qi Tianyang's waist and whispered in his ear, "Didn't you say that it was to attract evil spirits?" ”
"Indeed, I don't believe you," Qi Tianyang raised his chin and motioned for me to look under the desk, I looked over and saw a black cat lying under the desk?
"In metaphysics, dog blood can ward off evil spirits, among which black dog blood is the most, on the contrary, cat blood can attract evil spirits, among which black cat blood is the most." As soon as Qi Tianyang's voice fell, he saw the Taoist priest grab the black cat under the desk, holding a dagger.
"Wow!! ~~" It was the terrible cry of the black cat, and the blood spurting out of its neck splashed on the desk and the ground, which was indescribably bloody and weird.
"Hiss~~" The black cat that fell to the ground let out a strange moaning sound from its ruthlessly severed throat. Its eyes, which had been wide open, were now like opening the corners of their eyes, revealing almost their entire eyeballs.
I couldn't help but cover my mouth, gasped for air, seemed to feel a trace of coolness in my throat, and subconsciously protected my neck with my other hand.
The Taoist priest recited the incantation, and when he came to the water tank, he hung the tragic black cat above the water tank, which was strange to say, it was just a wound sprayed with a little blood, and as soon as it reached the water tank, it flowed into the water tank in strands, and I could see my hair stand on end.
"This cat's blood is extremely yin, put it in a bloodsucking tank, it is to kill the hostess! Especially if there is a happy event today, this will have a very bad impact on the newcomers, and they will be widowed and widowed. Qi Tianyang whispered in my ear.
It's so vicious, I'm shocked, a bloody house fighting drama is slowly forming in my mind, could it be that those concubines of the big landlord of Zhu covet the status of the hostess of the house, and want to kill the hostess herself?
It's just that this kind of large-scale spending should not just be as simple as killing the victims!
I was suddenly a little indignant, these little three, second grandmothers and the like, in today's days, are simply rats crossing the street, not to mention plotting against the righteous owner.
Qi Tianyang took my hand, "Don't act rashly, who knows if this Master Zhu spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and did it on purpose?" ”
When I heard this, I was even more resentful in my heart, and I suddenly felt that if there was really a place with an ancient inheritance, future generations would not be so tasteless!
"Don't worry, you can always find some clues." Qi Tianyang comforted me.
Also, this village looks very closed and weird, as if it was all during the liberation period, but this big landlord of Zhu also knows that there are doctors outside, and he treats us very warmly, and he doesn't reject outsiders like the Dulong clan, so why are they still so out of touch with modern society?
After a while, I saw that the Taoist priest had finished chanting the mantra, dancing around the water tank for a while, and then there was a few convulsions like a sheep's madness, and he shouted: "Collect!" ”
After everything was finished, he turned around and came to the big landlord Zhu, with a dignified look: "Master Zhu, the law has been done, and the eldest lady can worship in the church." With that, he squinted at us a few times.
"Good, good! Trouble Liu Daochang! The big landlord Zhu smiled like a flower on his face, and said to us with a smile: "Come on, a few guests, come with us to the front hall to attend the wedding of the little girl." ”
I saw the big landlord Zhu glance at the young man behind him, and the young man took out a golden thing from his pocket and put it in the Taoist priest's hand, I didn't see what it was, until Daoist Liu put the thing in his mouth and took a bite, I saw that it was gold!
They don't even use RMB, they don't use Grandpa Mao, but gold? Or does this Taoist Liu only accept gold?
I pressed the puzzle in my heart, and followed the big landlord Zhu to the front hall, the happy hall has been arranged, there is a big red double happiness on the wall, the desk is high and low, and the big red candle as thick as a baby's arm is symmetrically. There are four plates on the table in front of the desk, red dates, peanuts, longan, lotus seeds, and next to the table are two carved wood chairs, a Chinese wedding.
But the strange thing is that even if it is a Chinese wedding, there is not even a little bit of modern daily necessities along the way, it is like coming to ancient times.
"The newcomer has arrived!" Xi Po's voice sounded outside the door, and the villagers laughed and looked at the newcomer who was about to come in.
Following the sound, a couple of newlyweds walked slowly at the door, with fiery red wedding dresses, fiery hijabs, and red satin that the newlyweds were pulling each other, bright red.
"Oh, the uncle of the Zhu family is really handsome!" A woman complimented.
"That's it, I heard that he is still very capable, and he can find such an excellent one in the door, this Master Zhu is really a blessed person!" Another woman responded, patting Master Zhu's ass incessantly.
Inverted doors? I was stunned, no wonder the wedding was held at the house of the landlord of Zhu, it turned out to be a big deal.
In this place where the folk customs are so traditional, it sounds like an ordinary wretched son-in-law can recruit a son-in-law, and this Master Zhu is not simple.
"The bride straddles the brazier!"
With a sharp shout from Xi Po, I saw one, a three-inch golden lotus?
Oh my God, at this time, there are still people wrapped in little feet, in addition to surprise, I am more of a cold, looking at this little foot wearing red embroidered shoes, I actually feel cold from the bottom of my heart.
I can't even describe the feeling when I see this foot, the fiery red embroidered shoes, like the shoes that appeared in a horror movie, can take the soul.
In a moment when I was stunned, the bride had already walked up to me. A gust of wind blew through the fiery red hijab, and I vaguely saw a smiling face peeking out from under the red hijab.
I couldn't help but take a step back, and for some reason, I felt that the smiling face was so weird, the bright red face hooked up at an angle that was extremely uncomfortable for me.
