Having just woken up from a nightmare, Qiu Shenglin only felt depressed in his heart. But thinking that Mingxu had instructed last night that from today onwards, for three days in a row, the whole family would go to the Buddhist hall to recite scriptures, so I had to stand up and be served by Yao and Chaoyu, dressed and washed.

Yao's careful, prepared early delicate and delicious. She wanted to take this opportunity to invite Mingxu to express her gratitude, but when Lingyu went to invite, she learned that Mingxu had left the house early in the morning and went to the mass grave. She quietly told Qiu Shenglin about this, and Qiu Shenglin nodded gratefully and said, "If this matter is done, I have to reward him well!" ”

Sai Hongchen and Fang Qiao'er respectively stood at the table with the dim sum they made, and when they saw Qiu Shenglin and Yao's arrival, Sai Hongchen stepped forward first, grabbed the tip and said obediently, "Hello to the old lady, this is the rose cake made by the concubine herself, please try it!" Qiu Shenglin sat down with a yawn, casually pointed to the plate in Fang Qiao'er's hand and asked, "What is that?" ”

"Back to the master, this, this is the golden silk cake I made." Fang Qiao'er's face was not good, and her voice was timid. Qiu Shenglin said, "Bring it to me, it looks like it still has some appetite!" Seeing that he still didn't like to take care of himself, Sai Hongchen was angry, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, after sitting down next to Fang Qiao'er, he mentioned that he was going to the Buddha Hall, and changed his tone last night, "Master, this matter of chanting scriptures can't be sloppy." You smell it, the concubine gets up early to bathe in incense, in order to ask the gods and Buddhas to bless the Qiu family and the master! ”

She said these two words to Qiu Shenglin's heart, and the expression on her face changed slightly, "Even if you still have this heart, Zhilan, are the Buddha Hall ready?" Yao said, "Don't worry, sir, everything is in order, and you can pass it after breakfast." ”

The Buddhist hall of the Qiu family was originally prepared for Qiu Shenglin's mother, but after the old lady died, it was idle. Before dawn, Qiu Yunqi brought people over to clean up and prepare, and he didn't dare to neglect it at all. He was watching the people set up the futon when he saw Mingxu passing in front of the Buddha hall dressed in white.

"Master stays!" Qiu Yunqi suddenly stopped him. Mingxu stopped and turned around, "Young Master Qiu, what's the matter?" Qiu Yunqi walked up to him and deliberately stared at his face for a while before he smiled, "Master had a good trick last night, and this is the first time I've seen a ghost!" However, I have heard by chance that those charlatans will specially prepare some medicinal powder, whether it is a vision or a hallucination, but it is all bluffing! ”

"Young Master Qiu said that this is this powder, right?" Mingxu opened his palm, and the golden powder from last night was still there, and even more. Qiu Yunqi clapped his hands and laughed, "Sure enough, the master carries it with him, because he is worried about the need for it, right?" Mingxu smiled, "Young Master Qiu said with a smile, this is just ordinary gold dust!" He clapped his hands, and the gold dust fell to the ground, mingling and glistening in the dust.

"Did you admit it?" Qiu Yunqi said, "Dad is confused, you can coax him and lie to him, but I can't rub the sand in my eyes, go, follow me to see Dad!" He firmly grasped Mingxu's wrist, but Mingxu said unhurriedly, "Young Master Qiu believes that I and those charlatans are all the way, but do you know that this demon starts from the heart, the ghost starts from the heart, and the thought also starts from the heart!" ”

Qiu Yunqi said, "What, are you still thinking about exculpating yourself now?" Mingxu shook his head, "The ghosts are real, and the life is also real, these gold dust are just for the heart of Master An Qiu, so that he thinks that the gold dust can really exorcise ghosts, so he will have peace of mind." Otherwise, if he makes a fuss, I'm afraid this house will be a mess! ”

Even if he said this, Qiu Yunqi still snorted coldly and said, "If you cheat, you cheat, there are not so many reasons!" Mingxu patiently explained to him, "Even if Hua Tuo is alive, he can only heal the sick but not the heart, and Master Qiu is sick in his heart." If Young Master Qiu insists repeatedly, it is better for us to explain the truth to him. When the time comes, I will naturally be punished, but Master Qiu is in a panic all day long, can Young Master Qiu have a good way to solve his troubles? ”

"You!" Qiu Yunqi was depressed for a while, and had to admit in his heart that what Mingxu said was reasonable, so he had to let go of him and let him go. Sixi came over and said, "Young master, you don't have to be like such a person, sooner or later the master will see through his villain's face!" Qiu Yunqi said, "What do you know, what he said is not unreasonable." I tell you, when you see this person in the future, walk around! ”

Sixi scratched his head and said, "He's not a lion or a tiger, a demon or a monster, why do you want to go around him?" Qiu Yunqi angrily slapped him on the back of the head and said, "Where is so much nonsense, I'm hungry, go to the kitchen and get me some snacks to cushion!" ”

When Qiu Shenglin took his wife and concubine to the Buddha hall, it had been cleaned up, and the Buddha statues enshrined were golden and magnificent, so that people did not dare to look at them directly. Qiu Shenglin knelt down at the front and prayed, "Buddha, please bless the Qiu family's safety and prosperity, and the demons will not invade!" The disciple is willing to eat fasting for one month! ”

Yao divided the scriptures he copied to Sai Hongchen and Fang Qiao'er, and recited them together. Although Sai Hongchen is quite familiar with poetry and books, he feels that this Buddhist scripture is awkward, and seven or eight of the ten sentences are ambiguous. Qiu Shenglin only thought about his own safety, and he didn't care about this. It's Fang Qiao'er, who is sincere.

The masters in the house were all kneeling in the Buddhist hall, but rumors were whispering outside. First of all, someone said that the two aunts and wives who died in front of them were all haunted by ghosts hiding in this mansion. These words came and went, and it only took one morning to become that the Qiu family would have retribution for offending the gods and Buddhas.

By the afternoon, this kind of rumor had already put everyone in the Qiu Mansion in danger, and a few timid people had already begun to plan to escape so as not to be implicated. Although Yuan Bao was serving outside the Buddha hall, he still knew what kind of wind was blowing in the house.

Sanyang couldn't bear it a few times, and came to chew his tongue with him, "You haven't heard how ugly those people say, the lord has treated them well over the years, don't say that he is worried about the lord at this time, since he is still gossiping, thinking about how to escape, a group of heartless things!" ”

"What about Kaitai?" Yuanbao is most worried about this kid, although he is excited, but also has a lot of ghosts, if someone really makes trouble, he must be the one who takes the lead. Sanyang took a sip and said, "He runs faster than anyone else, no, I haven't seen him since lunch." Yuan Bao instructed, "Find a way to get him back for me, watch closely!" ”

At this moment, Kaitai was in the teahouse on the side street behind Qiufu, drinking tea and eating snacks while waiting for someone. After a while, a sneaky man slipped in, sat down across from him, took out a bag of silver, and handed it to Kaitai from under the table.
