Chapter 204: Safflower Wine (8)
In a flash, it was three years, and because the mother and daughter of Honghua could not enter the ancestral grave, they were buried in the wilderness and no one sacrificed, and they became wild ghosts and lonely ghosts.
In the past three years, Honghua has hoped countless times that Li Nan will be able to see her, but all she has waited for is the hurried footsteps of passers-by. Occasionally, there were familiar faces, and when they arrived at the grave, they also lamented softly, saying, "Isn't this the grave of the daughter-in-law and the little granddaughter of the Li family?" I heard that it was buried here. Hey, before her death, the daughter-in-law was respectful and filial to the mother and son, but she died and died, but she didn't even have a tombstone, how could people's hearts be so cold? ”
The sighs of others all fell into Honghua's eyes. Those people didn't know that when they passed by the grave, Honghua held her daughter in her arms and stood by the grave watching and listening.
My daughter has grown up year by year, and gradually, she can also understand the discussions of others, and even when facing other ghosts and bullies, she can reply two sentences powerfully. The daughter was pestered by Honghua, wanting to see her unconscionable father, Honghua also missed Li Nan, and wanted to know if Li Nan had a good time in the years she had left, so she took her daughter back. But when the person came to her, there was no door to enter, because she was a lonely ghost, and she was stopped by her own door god.
The door god saw her pitiful, and also knew her life experience, and wanted to secretly let her in through the back door, but he didn't expect that Li Nan's mother and son also hung a bronze mirror to ward off evil spirits on the back door. Honghua had no choice but to take her daughter and stay outside the door of Li's house every day, looking at her husband and mother-in-law from a distance.
"But last night, when Siniang went to her brother's house, your daughter also entered the Li family, what happened?"
"Speaking of which, thanks to the carriage!" Honghua shook her hand slightly: "That night, Lulu and I were still wandering outside the door, and we saw a carriage galloping from a distance. The carriage was different from ordinary carriages, and it was surrounded by a faint blue light, which made people look very kind.
Lulu, who was already naughty, saw the light and chased after the carriage. After a while, she came back and told me that the driver was not a mortal, but a youkai. Like Lulu, I'm a ghost, but I'm a little different, she can often perceive things that I can't perceive, and see things that I can't see. Before I could react, Lulu dragged her hand and dragged me to the carriage. Only then did I see that Siniang was sitting in the carriage.
Lulu originally wanted to tease Siniang, but she didn't expect to be discovered by the person who drove the car. So she smiled at the people flatteringly, saying that we were just passing by and wanted to take a ride by the way. That monster is also a kind-hearted person, and there is no trouble for us. When the carriage stopped, Lulu and I found out that they had arrived outside my father-in-law's house, oh no, it was Li Nan's house.
Later, I learned that Siniang went next door. Maybe it's because of the guy driving the car, or maybe it's because of the carriage. Lulu noticed that the door god on the door of Li Nan's house turned silently and turned her face towards the door. In this way, Lulu entered Li Nan's house and even talked to Li Nan. ”
"Will the door god turn around?" Xing Ruyi frowned curiously, and regretted that he didn't go to see Qiqi with Li Mao last night.
"Of course they have to turn around!"
Just when Xing Ruyi was full of doubts, the fox opened his mouth.
"Your carriage is made by me from the spirit wood of Qingqiu, and it often follows you and me in and out of the Yin Division, and it is contaminated with a lot of ghosts. This is an aura and a ghost, which is incomprehensible in the first place. Besides, last night, it was Li Mao who drove the carriage, so the two door gods were even more confused.
The officials of this divine realm are also somewhat similar to those in your world, that is, pretend to be confused when you should pretend to be confused, especially when you can't figure out where the other party is coming from, try not to provoke those who can not provoke. But such a carriage suddenly stopped outside a mortal's house, and if the people of Heavenly Court knew about it, they would definitely ask. When the time comes, how do you let these two door gods answer?
Say you don't know? Wouldn't that mean the two of them are incompetent! Saying that he knows, if the above asks carefully, how should this lie be rounded? So, he turned around, and if he asked, he said that he didn't see it, and he didn't know. ”
"Is that okay?" The sentence Ruyi asked unconvincedly.
"Absolutely!" The fox nodded.
Well, whoever told you to have the experience of being an emperor, let's believe that what you said is true! Xing Ruyi said in his heart and shrugged his shoulders. But he suddenly raised his head and asked the fox stupidly: "In this mortal's house, there will be door gods, but there are only two door gods, isn't it exhausting to death if you are so busy?" Besides, we also have door gods in our rouge shop, and my carriage goes in and out every day, how can they not know the details? ”
"God is on the door, but there is not necessarily God on the door. Just like Ruyi you just said, if this god is guarded by everyone, wouldn't he be tired to death? ”
"So you mean, the two stickers on our shop are just paintings, and this god master has never been fortunate at all?" Xing Ruyi's face darkened, "Why? My huge rouge shop is not as good as the broken yard of Li Nan's house, so they would rather guard the mother and son than me. ”
"It's not that they don't go, it's that they don't dare at all, and they don't know that there is such a wishful rouge shop as you in this capital." The fox blinked, and it was obvious that he had done something with the two portraits of the door gods.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if they go or not. Not to mention that you and Yin Yuan are still at home, even Li Mao and Aunt Lu, there are few people in Luoyang City who are brave enough to provoke. I just wondered, why did they stay in Li Nan's house, could it be that there were gold, silver and jewelry hidden under the house? ”
"You, you can think of money for everything." The fox rubbed Ruyi's head, with a doting face, "The reason why this god is guarding Li Nan's house may be very complicated. First, the incident in Siniang's brother's family is the cause. Second, the resentment between Honghua and her daughter made the door god completely notice the two adjacent houses. ”
"I probably understand what you mean, that is, Ang Lee and the mother and daughter of Honghua died with hatred almost one after the other, so the magnetic field in that place is a little abnormal. The reason why the door god is the door god and stays in the mortal world to serve also has a certain scope of responsibility, so he went to this place to check. Unexpectedly, the mother and daughter of Honghua came to the door, and the resentment of the two was so deep, in order to prevent the mother and daughter from hurting the innocent, so the door god could only stay in that place day and night. ”
"There is a third reason, that is, this pair of door gods is actually quite boring, and Li Nan's mother and son's approach is really a bit excessive. However, due to various reasons, the time for these two people to get the retribution has not yet arrived, so the two door gods stayed in place to see the follow-up excitement. ”
"Immortals also love to watch lively?"
"Immortals are also human beings, just like people who have become ghosts and still retain their hobbies in life. Among the immortals, there is naturally no shortage of people who like to watch the excitement. Besides, being able to be promoted to the door god shows that they are all righteous, but because of their status as immortals, it is not easy to seek justice for the Honghua mother and daughter. ”
"I remember that the story of the door god was told in the Book of Mountains and Seas, saying that there is a mountain of Dushuo in the vast sea, there is a big peach tree on the mountain, the branches wind and stretch for three thousand miles, there is a ghost gate in the northeast of the peach branch, there are two gods on the door, one is called Shen Tu, the other is called Yu Lei, they guard the ghost gate, specifically monitor those harmful ghosts, once found, they will tie up the ghosts with ropes made of reeds, and throw them down the mountain to feed the tigers. So the Yellow Emperor saluted them, worshiped when he was old, painted the image of the gods, Yu Lei and the tiger on the door, and hung the reed rope, if there is a fierce ghost appearing two gods, they will catch it and feed the tiger.
When he arrived in Taizong, because of the change of Xuanwu Gate, Emperor Taizong could not sleep peacefully every night, and he often even heard the bedroom for no reason
Throwing bricks and tiles outside, ghosts and ghosts called, making the harem restless at night. It is said that for a period of time, Emperor Taizong had nightmares and dreamed that his brother and younger brother came to kill him with demons and monsters, and he was very scared, so he asked his two generals, Qin Shubao and Wei Chigong, to stand in front of the door with weapons in hand, so that they could sleep peacefully.
But because they were on duty every night, and the two generals were also old, they both fell ill in the end. In desperation, Emperor Taizong had to order their images to be drawn on paper and pasted on the door to deter demons and monsters. This saying spread to the people, and people originally worshiped the two generals, coupled with the practice of catering to the emperor, so they also painted the images of the two generals after slightly exaggerating and pasted them on the door. As a result, the two ancient door gods, Shen Tu and Yu Lei, can finally drink tea and chat at home with peace of mind. ”
"Most of the ancient immortals have already been in the fugue, and even if they are still there, they don't care about the idle affairs of this world, so this god has changed when it has changed." The fox said, gesturing to the red flowers that were still outside the barrier.
At this time, Yin Yuan and Li Lu have also returned, Li Lu's face is excited, Yin Yuan is rare to be cold, quite a bit of the charm of a fox pretending.
"Mother, just now Brother Yin Yuan took Lulu to scare the old witch, you don't know how little courage she is, she was directly scared to the ground, and shouted that she was going to invite a Taoist priest to catch ghosts."
"Taoist priest, please?" Honghua frowned: "Didn't my mother tell you not to provoke her easily?" ”
"Lulu isn't afraid? Brother Yin Yuan said that the old witch was going to invite his mother. Hum! How could Yin Yuan's brother's mother help them? ”
Xing Ruyi stood in the enchantment, touched his nose, and then asked the fox quietly: "Do you think I will help them?" ”
"Probably...... Maybe...... No way! ”
The fox lowered his eyebrows and smiled, looked at Xing Ruyi and curled the corners of his mouth, crossed his waist and said, "Of course I will, after all, I am a kind and principled part-time Taoist priest." It's just that my path is too shallow, so this busy, it may be busy! ”
"Looks like they're going to be out of luck!" The fox helped Xing Ruyi and draped Dayu on her again: "Can you tell your future husband how you plan to help?" After all, during the days when you get married, your future husband is also a little boring, and he guards you all day long, and it is inevitable that he will be black and dyed by you. ”
"Go! Can you speak, I call it the breath of justice! As for you, a cunning fox, it's obviously close to Zhu, right? ”
"Good! I'm close to Zhu Zhechi! You're close to the ink black, so we're the most suitable pair in heaven and on earth! The fox said this with his divine sense. Xing Ruyi quietly blushed, and could only lower his head and tug at the corner of the fox's clothes, asking him to pay a little attention to the occasion.
