Chapter 161: Filial Piety in the Middle of the Night
After Mu Yi came back, Li Laoshi didn't ask anything, and even Mu Yi said that he would stay for a day, he didn't have any opinion. Bayi Middle School?? Wenwang?? ? ≥=≠.≤8≥1≤Z≤≥.≤C≤O≠M
There was a commotion outside before, he was not blind in his eyes and deaf in his ears, since Mu Yi could return safely and soundly in such a big battle, even if he stayed for one more day, it was nothing, anyway, the silver Mu Yi gave him was enough to spend a whole year freely.
Although the people in charge of the Kang family are all dead, the strange thing is that the remaining servants did not take the opportunity to escape, and even prepared the sumptuous food for Mu Yi during the day.
Only Mu Yi simply ate a little, then meditated on the bed, and in the afternoon he began to study ink and draw talismans.
Since the battle with Qu Yang, this is the first time he has drawn talismans, a few days ago, he was in a hurry during the day, and the rest of the time was also used to refine the bamboo of the years and consolidate the realm, but today is just leisure, you can draw some talismans for backup.
I haven't painted for a while, but Mu Yi doesn't feel rusty at all, and even because his mental power has become more refined, he has become more handy and free to draw talismans.
All afternoon, Mu Yi hid in the room, and on the right side of the table, he accumulated a thick stack of talismans, but most of them were demon slaying talismans and exorcism talismans.
On the left, there are only two lonely talismans, but whether it is a look or something else, they are far from being comparable to the talismans on the right.
These two talismans are naturally the five thunder talismans, and they are also one of Mu Yi's biggest reliance at the moment, if he has enough five thunder talismans, even if there are more people who come, they are not afraid, but unfortunately, even now, Mu Yi can't come out of the five boundaries.
Lifting the pen, it gently fell on the yellow paper, only to see that the tip of the pen made of yellow skin tail suddenly emerged a layer of faint white light, but because it was very light, it was not real.
As Mu Yi walked with the imperial pen, the faint white light also disappeared into the talisman.
"Buzz!"
When Mu Yi finished drawing the last stroke, he saw that the talisman on the table suddenly flashed, and even the five thunder talismans actually floated gently, although after a few breaths, the light converged, and the talisman also fell back on the table, but Mu Yi's face was still uncontrollable to show joy.
Placing this Five Thunder Talisman with the other two, although he couldn't see any difference, Mu Yi still looked at it for a moment.
Then, with a move with his left hand, a piece of yellow paper that had already been cut fell in front of him, and then he drew with a pen in his right hand, and even this time he did not take any rest, and in an instant, another Five Thunder Talisman was born.
And the joy on Mu Yi's face was even stronger.
Just now, he inadvertently seemed to have another wonderful use of the qi in his body, just slightly attached to the talisman pen, it can increase the success rate of drawing talismans, at least Mu Yi has never succeeded twice in a row before.
But this time, not only did he succeed all at once, but there was even an unprecedented smoothness and naturalness, as if he could easily succeed as long as he wanted to.
However, Mu Yi did not continue to paint, but put the pen aside, closed his eyes and continued to reminisce about the feeling just now.
After a while, Mu Yi opened his eyes and smiled slightly, and sorted out the drawn talismans one by one.
···········
For this small town that is a little closed on weekdays, it has not been so lively for many years, but there is some fear in this excitement, the Kang family is dead, and it is also the old lady Kang who got the archway of the imperial chastity.
As for the scandals, they invariably chose to remain silent.
However, there is movement in the town's festival and filial piety temple, on weekdays in the town, the Kang family, the Zhao family, and the Zhang family can be described as a three-legged stand, and they are also the most powerful three, in the case of the fall of the Kang family and the union of the Zhang and Zhao families, even those old people are not willing to touch this brow.
What's more, the two families still asked Taoist priests to resolve the grievances in the festival and filial piety temple, so as to protect the banner of peace in the town.
Although the dead are the greatest, it is the living who can really call the shots.
At the request of Mu Yi, the two families set up a platform in front of the festival and filial piety temple, which was full of various offerings.
Originally, the people in the town also wanted to watch it, but they were driven back by the two families, and only a few prestigious old people remained.
It wasn't until the second watch that Mu Yi came under the leadership of Zhao Quan, if it weren't for Mu Yi, everyone would have fallen asleep at this hour.
After Mu Yi arrived, he was surprised that Xue Wu was actually there, it stands to reason that he should go back to the county seat, but Mu Yi didn't ask him why he was here, but slowly walked up to the stage under the gaze of everyone.
This altar is just built at the door of the festival of filial piety, but it is not high, Mu Yi stands on it, just enough to look at the plaque hanging on the festival of filial piety, which has four big characters written on it - festival filial piety and chuifang.
The clamp pillars on both sides of the gate are also engraved with a couplet, Fang Zhuoyao is heavy, and the shrine is Kun Dexiang.
Seeing this, Mu Yi smiled noncommittally, maybe this kind of festival and filial piety temple did appear at the beginning to commend those women, but with the exhibition, this kind of thing gradually changed its taste, and what Mu Yi said, I don't know how many resentful souls are buried in it, and it is not a joke.
Whether it is seeking fame or profit, the blood and tears in this are absolutely innumerable.
At least Mu Yi encountered this situation when he followed the old way to the rivers and lakes, a widowed little woman was forced to die by her mother-in-law, because she entered the festival of filial piety, not only could she sacrifice in spring and autumn, but also get thirty taels of silver from the government.
The deeds of the martyrs are particularly prominent, and the emperor also personally bestows the poems and plaques with satin. The names of the women and martyrs are included in the official history and local chronicles.
It is even more serious in some places, if there is no chaste martyr in any family, it will be regarded as a bad family style, although absurd, but it does exist.
In this case, how sad and pitiful it is for those women who have lost their husbands.
The reason why Mu Yi knew that there was a problem here before he arrived was mainly from Zhao Quan and another old man, there was a trace of resentment wrapped around their bodies, coupled with the strange feeling when he first arrived in the town, which made him decide that there must be something wrong with the festival and filial piety temple here.
But after all, he was just a suspicion before, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, Mu Yi only realized that he still thought too lightly before, and the resentment in it was so strong that it was far from his imagination, but the strange thing was that those resentments seemed to be suppressed by a force and could not be dissipated.
"In which year was this filial piety temple built, who built it, and have there been any strange things over the years?" Mu Yi suddenly looked at Zhao Quan and asked.
Hearing Mu Yi's question, Zhao Quan was slightly stunned, but he still answered Mu Yi's question immediately.
"This festival of filial piety was built in 184o, and it has been almost sixty years now, at that time it was a young man in the town who went to the yamen, and after getting the instructions, he paid for his own money to build this festival of filial piety, this plaque couplet, were written by the old man Xiucai, but the old man Xiucai died decades ago."
"As for strange things?" Zhao Quan frowned and groaned.
"Ten years ago, there was a sudden thunder here, and the roof of the Jiexiao Temple was leaked." Before Zhao Quan could remember, someone next to him said for him.
"Ten years ago?" Mu Yi pondered for a while before continuing to ask, "What heirs does that talented old man have left?" ”
"No, they're all dead." This time, Zhao Quan said without hesitation.
"Are you sure?" Mu Yi asked again.
"Yes, in fact, there was a younger son when the old man Xiucai died, but less than two years after he died, that little son also suddenly fell ill and died violently." Zhao Quan said.
"Are there many men in your town who have suddenly died violently or innocently over the years?" Mu Yi asked.
"This... It seems that there are a lot of them, and I have asked a doctor to see them before, and they did die violently by themselves, not by someone. Zhao Quan said very seriously, obviously they also had doubts about this situation.
"Then are all the dead women here enshrined here?" Mu Yi continued to ask.
"Only those women who keep filial piety and are chaste will be enshrined in it." Zhao Quan said.
"And the women who died unjustly?" Mu Yi sneered, and Zhao Quan froze there for a moment, not knowing how to answer this question.
"Alright, you can step back first." Mu Yi didn't embarrass Zhao Quan anymore, but waved his hand and asked him to stay away from the altar.
After Zhao Quan retreated, Mu Yi put the bamboo in his hand on the table.
Then take out a few exorcism charms and stir them up.
Suddenly, the old men around and even Xue Wu were wrapped in white light.
This sudden change immediately startled them, and they wanted to resist, but now these white lights didn't seem to be harmful, and even after entering their bodies, they only felt warm, not only the chill on their bodies was swept away, but even their spirits became vibrant.
"This, this is immortal art." One of the old men said tremblingly, he felt that he was about to lose his ability to stand before, but after absorbing the white light, the whole person was suddenly full of strength, and even made him feel as if he had returned to his youth.
And all of this was born by Mu Yi with a wave of his hand, and he couldn't think of any other reason besides immortal arts.
Those old people may think that this is immortal art, but Xue Wu has seen more after all, and when he felt the changes in his body, his face showed shock, but in his heart, it was more of a fluke.
Originally, after returning to Yamen today, he hesitated several times, thinking about whether to tell the county lord about the matter, and one day was enough time to find some good hands from around, and everyone went up together, and it may not be impossible to restrain Mu Yi.
But in the end, Xue Wu thought of everything that happened in the young lady's room, and finally put out his thoughts, and the ghost sent the gods to sneak back again, just to see what Mu Yi was going to do at night.
didn't expect that before the real show started, he encountered such a shocking scene first, and even thought of those thoughts during the day, and had more fears.
