Chapter 33: The Little Devil is Difficult
Lu Zu seemed to be impatient, and immediately answered: "Ask!" β
Daoist Qiu stroked his beard and did not speak immediately.
I began to feel a little anxious, if the three questions were asked, would something happen to Daoist Qiu. I called out to Daoist Qiu and told him to think twice. Daoist Qiu said to me, "Zhang Yan, if I die, you will leave here with your daughter-in-law." β
I said to Daoist Qiu, you will never have an accident.
Daoist Qiu smiled and didn't say anything more. Continue to face the statue of Lu Zu. Daoist Qiu then asked the third question, Daoist Qiu said, "Before the ancestor preached, did he ever have anyone who was concerned?" β
When the statue of Lu Zu answered this question, it was faster than the first question, and quickly said no. After speaking, he said to Daoist Qiu, "You can now apologize with death." β
Daoist Qiu was not in a hurry, and then said lightly: "Taoist monks don't tell lies, this is a canon, has the ancestor violated it just now?" β
After these words fell, Lu Zu was speechless for a while, and after a while, the statue of Lu Zu suddenly trembled, and then collapsed in front of us. I was stunned, and I was shocked.
Daoist Qiu watched intently.
I couldn't help but ask, "Dao Chief, what's going on?" β
Daoist Qiu said, "Wait a little longer. β
After the idol completely disintegrated, a slight cough suddenly sounded. Daoist Qiu took my hand and said to me, "Kneel! β
At this time, there were two futons in front of the statue, and when Xiao Wanwan saw me kneeling, he also knelt down with me.
Daoist Qiu quickly spoke, "The disciples of the Quanzhen Sect have seen the Ancestor. As he spoke, Daoist Qiu also kowtowed to the shrine. I wondered in my heart, hasn't the statue of Lu Zu collapsed? Who is this worshipping by Daoist Qiu? Daoist Qiu had just finished kowtowing.
A heavy sigh came, as if it had been a thousand years, extremely sad, and only a voice sounded: "Get up, this wisp of divine consciousness of Poor Dao has been sleeping for so long, and it is still awakened by you, but I can't exist for too long, if you have any questions, just ask quickly." β
Daoist Qiu said: "Thank you Ancestor!" After Daoist Qiu finished speaking, he stood up. I also stood up with Daoist Qiu.
I looked up and didn't see anything, but I could hear someone talking.
Daoist Qiu said, "Ancestor, what the disciple wants to ask is, what kind of opportunities will he have in the future? Daoist Qiu said and pointed at me. After a pause for a few seconds, a heavy voice sounded again: "The girl next to him is a little interesting, and her achievements may not be small in the future. Little girl, you have to remember. β
Xiao Wanwan stared ahead, and didn't know if she saw Lu Zu, so she nodded indifferently.
Daoist Qiu seemed to be more anxious than me, and couldn't help but ask Lu Zu about me.
I also had some expectations in my heart for Lu Zu to answer, and after waiting for a while, Lu Zu still didn't speak, but I couldn't see if Lu Zu was still there? So Daoist Qiu opened his mouth and asked, "Is the ancestor still there?" β
"Hmm."
"Please show the Ancestor."
Lu Zu then said: "The protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and the blessings of the world are only one point, and this road will not go far." β
Daoist Qiu looked at him in a daze, and was silent for a long time without speaking. I called out to Daoist Qiu, and Daoist Qiu reacted, and Daoist Qiu said to me, "Let's go out and talk about something." β
I hummed and called Xiao Wanwan. Xiao Wanwan seems to have been completely unaffected by Lu Zu. The whole person has not changed much.
We went out of the Taoist temple.
I walked towards the door, and I pulled it away, and when I pulled it away, the outside scene returned to normal. I breathed a sigh of relief and said was it okay?
Daoist Qiu said: "It's okay for the time being, it's just that the original existence in this Taoist temple has long escaped, and Lu Zu's divine consciousness has awakened, if they dare to stay, they will be bold." β
At this time, a gust of wind blew in my face, and I felt much refreshed. The whole person also seems to be a lot more relaxed.
After walking a few steps, I couldn't help but ask Daoist Qiu, "Is Master Cao Tianshi in league with them?" β
Daoist Qiu hummed and said almost. But the best is yet to come.
We rushed towards the Li Mansion, and when we arrived at the Li Mansion, we suddenly saw a white cloth strip hanging on the lintel of the Li Mansion, and two white lanterns were hung at the door. I wondered if it was a funeral for Li Shuo.
Knocking on the door and entering, because Daoist Qiu had helped his subordinates before, he was very enthusiastic about Daoist Qiu at this time.
Daoist Qiu asked, and the subordinate told the truth, it was the husband who died and hanged himself.
Daoist Qiu pinched his fingers and calculated, saying that it shouldn't be! Daoist Qiu called me, and I followed Daoist Qiu and walked inside. The mourning hall is located in the lobby, and many people are crying and crying at this time.
Daoist Qiu walked in, and I took Xiao Wanwan's hand, because I heard that it is unlucky to meet a dead person at night. When Xiao Wanwan was stopped by my hand, his face was slightly red, but he didn't break free. I took Xiao Wanwan's hand and entered the mourning hall. Xiao Wanwan also tightened a little when he grabbed my hand.
Master Li sat in the mourning hall, his face depressed, and his mouth seemed to be muttering something.
Daoist Qiu walked close and said hello to Master Li, after Master Li saw Daoist Qiu coming, he immediately got up, and immediately couldn't help wailing and said: "Daoist, why do you say that my life is so bitter, although I have not done much good things in my life, but I have never done anything bad, my son has not woken up, but my wife hanged herself." β
Daoist Qiu hurriedly spoke out to comfort Master Li, telling Master Li not to be too sad.
Daoist Qiu said: "Poor Dao just counted, your wife's life is not over, and she shouldn't die today." β
Old Man Li looked at Daoist Qiu in surprise and said, "Then why is she still dead?" β
At this time, there was a lot of noise in the lobby, and it was really a bit noisy, so Daoist Qiu said to Master Li, let them go out first, and I will help your wife take a look.
Master Li was still convinced of Daoist Qiu's words, and then let all the people in the mourning hall go out. All of a sudden, it was quiet. Daoist Qiu asked Master Li, "Don't you mind if I open the coffin to see the corpse?" β
Master Li said, and asked Daoist Qiu to bother more.
Daoist Qiu called out to me, and I stepped forward to help him lift the lid of the coffin, and as soon as I lifted it, I smelled a bad smell.
I couldn't help but cover my mouth with my hand and ask, "What kind of weird smell is this?" β
Daoist Qiu said to me angrily, what else can it smell like, this is the smell of corpses. But it shouldn't be, Mrs. Li should have just died, how could it be stinky.
When a person is alive, the five senses and body can move, so it looks very vivid, once there is no life, the body will begin to become stiff, unable to move, and will also lose a color, becoming very ugly. At this time, the wrinkles on Mrs. Li's face were piled up, and she looked a little crazy.
Daoist Qiu tried Mrs. Li's heartbeat and snort. Then he asked Master Li about the time of Mrs. Li's death.
After getting the answer, Daoist Qiu said that Mrs. Li was unjustly killed, and someone attacked Mrs. Li.
Master Li hurriedly asked, "Who could it be?" Is my wife still saved? "Master Li has really been a lot haggard these days. Daoist Qiu listened to what Master Li said, and turned his gaze to me. Daoist Qiu approached me, put his hand on my shoulder, and whispered to me: "You are now the lord of the land, and someone has let the residents under your jurisdiction die in vain, should you take care of this case?" β
I wanted to, but I didn't know where to start.
Daoist Qiu smiled and said, "You will do what I say later." β
I mumbled and said yes.
Daoist Qiu let go of my hand and turned to Master Li and said, "I discussed with him just now, let him go to the underworld to go to the Yin and bring back your wife's soul." β
After listening to Daoist Qiu's words, Master Li first looked at me, and then quickly knelt down in front of me, and kept kowtowing. I asked Master Li to get up, and it wasn't too late to wait for things to be done. Daoist Qiu asked Master Li to prepare some ingots and candles or something. Put it in a basin and burn it all.
Daoist Qiu asked me to sit on a chair and told me Mrs. Li's birth date and name.
I asked, "Will her soul really be in the underworld?" β
Daoist Qiu said lightly I didn't dare to say it before, but after what happened just now, at least now I don't dare to blatantly hook the soul away, and you, the Turing Land Master, have no real power, so the soul will generally drift in the direction of the underworld.
Daoist Qiu's voice is not very loud, and basically only we can hear it clearly.
Xiao Wanwan heard that I was going to go to the yin, so she said to me: "Zhang Yan, you must be careful. I'll wait for you to come back. β
I mumbled and said yes.
Daoist Qiu said: "It's not life and death, look at you little two." β
Xiao Wanwan couldn't help but say something to Daoist Qiu, Daoist Qiu just laughed, and after the paper money was burned, Daoist Qiu suddenly pushed me gently, I just wanted to say what to push me for, turned my head to look, and found that I was still sitting on the chair.
Is this the soul coming out? When I was still a little confused, I heard the voice of Daoist Qiu in my ears: "Go early and return early, your daughter-in-law is still waiting for you." β
I listened to Daoist Qiu's words and walked towards the underworld. When I enter the underworld, I will experience a ghost coffin, and ordinary people enter from here after death, and when I go forward, the little ghost will stop us and ask me who I am? When did you die?
I didn't talk nonsense, I directly took out the appointment document of the land lord, and when the little ghost saw it, he immediately nodded and said, "It turned out to be Zhang Land, Lord Zhang." Sorry, little eye-catching, you go inside. β
I didn't rush inside, but asked, "Did a woman come to report just now?" "As I spoke, I told the little ghost Mrs. Li's message. The little ghost thought about it for a while, and quickly said that there was, but it had been taken away.
I hurriedly asked, "Who took you away?" β
The imp smiled at me, but he didn't speak, and after a while, I knew what it meant, and pulled out the dead man's money from his pocket. As the saying goes, imps are hard. It seems to make sense.
After the imp received the money, I asked it to hurry up.
The imp answered, but what I didn't expect was that the imp said a name that surprised me very much.
