Chapter 075: Revisiting the Old Place
Liu Shiyan's pretty face suddenly turned red with shame, and she struggled and whispered, "Brother Xuan, what are you doing?" ”
Chen Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Seeing your pitiful appearance, I couldn't help but hug you...... Nothing happened to me and Lin Xiaoyue, she came to give me a bath just now. ”
"Rub ...... Scrubbing? ”
Liu Shiyan was taken aback, frowned and asked, "Why did Lin Xiaoyue come to your room in the middle of the night to give you a bath?" Does their Lin family still have this kind of service? ”
Chen Xuan said with a smile: "Of course, the purpose of her original visit was not to take a bath, but to show off her beauty, but unfortunately they underestimated my concentration too much, thinking that with Lin Xiaoyue's appearance, she could deceive me into taking the bait with a few words...... Hehe, am I such a superficial person? ”
Liu Shiyan suddenly realized that she was smart and understood.
"Old Man Lin gave you all the property of the Lin family, Lin Xiong and Lin Xiaoyue must be unwilling, and once Lin Xiaoyue marries you, their Lin family will be able to take all the family property back...... In addition, if Lin Xiaoyue marries you, the Lin family is equivalent to having one more big backer...... This beauty trick is really a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone! ”
Chen Xuan smiled lightly: "It's a pity that I can't be interested in Lin Xiaoyue at all, and I want to show off my beauty tricks, unless I let you come." ”
As he spoke, Chen Xuan gently lifted Liu Shiyan's chin.
Liu Shiyan's cheeks were already red, and being teased by Chen Xuan like this was like a ripe apple.
"Nasty, just kidding!"
She gently slapped Chen Xuan's chest and struggled to escape.
Chen Xuan had a gentle smile on his face, and then suddenly pointed out the window and said, "Shiyan, do you remember there?" ”
Liu Shiyan looked out of the window, and a trace of melancholy flashed in her eyes.
"Of course I do, I'll never forget it......"
At the foot of Longquan Mountain, beyond the villa, is a slum.
After Chen Xuan was rescued by Liu Lingfeng's family, he lived here at the beginning.
Later, the killers of the Qi family and the Bai family came to the door, and the place where Liu Lingfeng was besieged by everyone was also here, and Chen Xuan and Liu Shiyan were separated here, this is the last place they met ten years ago.
Chen Xuan nodded, and asked again, "Then do you want to go back and have a look?" ”
"This ......," Liu Shiyan hesitated.
Although in her memory, this land had left her with many precious memories, but after all, this was also the place where his father Liu Lingfeng sacrificed, and going back would inevitably touch the saddest emotions in her heart.
But before she could make a choice, Chen Xuan had already grabbed her hand.
"Let's go, since we're here, let's go back and have a look."
After speaking, Chen Xuan took Liu Shiyan by the hand, and left the villa and walked towards the slum not far away.
In the dead of night, there was silence.
Walking on the once familiar streets, Chen Xuan and Liu Shiyan were very emotional.
Further on, it is the small courtyard where the Liu family settled back then, and the moonlight pours on the road, which looks very warm.
But at this moment, there was a sudden noise in the street ahead.
It's early in the morning, and normally every household is already asleep, but listening to the movement in front of me, it seems as if the residents are gathering for a meeting.
Liu Shiyan frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "What's the situation?" ”
Chen Xuan didn't know why, so he pointed forward and said, "Let's go over and take a look." ”
The two of them got closer, and saw a circle of people on the street in front of them, these people should be residents of the neighborhood, about twenty households.
And among these people, there are three monks, these three monks are holding some ritual utensils in their hands, and beside them are incense burners and oil lamps, as if they are doing things.
"What is this doing? Is it exorcism? Liu Shiyan muttered in a low voice.
Chen Xuan nodded lightly: "That's right, it should be exorcism......
As she was talking, Liu Shiyan saw a familiar figure in the crowd, she gently tugged Chen Xuan, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xuan, look, is it Aunt Wu?" ”
Chen Xuan followed Liu Shiyan's guidance and took a look, only to see a woman in a colorful gown standing in the crowd, she was a little chubby, in her sixties, with gray hair and a kind face, it was their neighbor Aunt Wu when she was a child!
Although Chen Xuan and Shiyan have changed a lot in the past ten years, Aunt Wu is still the same as she was back then, so at a glance, Chen Xuan immediately recognized her.
"It's really Aunt Wu!"
Chen Xuan smiled, and then went over with Shiyan to greet him: "Aunt Wu! Aunt Wu! ”
Aunt Wu was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw Chen Xuan and Shiyan, her first reaction was not surprise, but vigilantly came over with a string of Buddhist beads, and said loudly: "The demon retreats!" The demons are gone! ”
This Buddha bead hit Chen Xuan's body, and immediately made a crisp "crackling" sound, Aunt Wu was stunned, frowned and asked, "You're not a ghost?" ”
Chen Xuan saw that he and Shiyan were recognized as ghosts by Aunt Wu, and he couldn't cry or laugh.
"Aunt Wu, I'm Xiao Xuan, she's a poet, have you forgotten? We used to live in the West Courtyard, how could we be ghosts! ”
Liu Shiyan also hurriedly said: "Yes, Aunt Wu, I am Shiyan, have you forgotten?" ”
When Aunt Wu heard this, she stared at Chen Xuan and Liu Shiyan carefully, and then put away the frightened expression just now, and said with a smile: "It's really you two little guys!" It's all grown so big! Come and let Aunt Wu take a look, it's really unrecognizable! ”
At the beginning, Aunt Wu was very good to Chen Xuan and Shiyan, and often gave the two of them melons and fruits to eat, so when they met again, Chen Xuan and Shiyan were also very happy.
Shiyan took Aunt Wu's hand and asked affectionately, "Aunt Wu, what's wrong with us here?" Why don't people sleep at night, but run out into the streets? ”
Aunt Wu sighed, frowned and said, "Alas! It's really a surprise to say! It's been a weird July and a half of this year, and strange things have been happening here since the beginning of July...... At first, we all thought it was just an accident, and it would be fine in two days, but who would have thought that there would be more and more strange things, and some people said that they had bumpered with ghosts......"
Speaking of this, Chen Xuan and Liu Shiyan both suddenly realized.
This year's ghost gate coincides with the opening of the door once in five hundred years, and the evil ghosts travel to the world, in fact, not only here, but also the entire Dragon City has frequently appeared powerful ghosts, just because the relevant departments blocked the news, everyone was kept in the dark.
At this time, after Aunt Wu finished speaking, she looked up at Chen Xuan and Shiyan and asked, "But I guess you young people don't believe it, you definitely don't believe that there are ghosts in the world, right?" ”
Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said, "This kind of thing, I'd rather believe it than believe that it doesn't exist." ”
Shiyan also smiled and said, "I actually believe it too." ”
Aunt Wu smiled, shook her head and said, "I actually didn't believe it before, saying that there are ghosts in this world?" But the hauntings are so bad these days that I really started to believe ......"
Chen Xuan nodded, and then pointed to the three great monks in the crowd not far away and said, "Who are these three?" ”
Aunt Wu said: "Oh, these three are the monks invited by the neighborhood committee from Lingyin Temple, and they specially gave us the practice of exorcism, and the neighborhood committee said that as long as the three monks finish the rituals, our area will be peaceful!" ”
"Lingyin Temple ......"
Hearing this name, Chen Xuan's brows furrowed.
Before the library of Longcheng University was haunted, Director Jin invited a so-called "master" from Lingyin Temple, but this master's level of ghost hunting was limited, and he actually wanted to bully the counselor Ji Jie, for this reason, Chen Xuan naturally had no good impression of the temple of "Lingyin Temple".
However, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and a monk who has a problem can't completely deny the entire Lingyin Temple, so Chen Xuan didn't make any evaluation of these three monks, but just nodded his head to show his understanding.
And at this moment, among the three monks in the distance, a middle-aged monk standing in the middle coughed and said, "Donors! Everyone, please pay attention, the poor monks below are about to start the exorcism ceremony, but before that, you need the donors to provide incense money for the ceremony. The incense money is 5,000 yuan per household, which can be transferred or cashed, and the incense money will start as soon as the incense money is paid...... I hope that all donors will line up and settle the incense money as soon as possible......"
The residents present obviously knew about this in advance, and many of them had already prepared the incense money, and Aunt Wu also took out a thick envelope from her body, which contained a stack of pink banknotes.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xuan shook his head slightly.
5,000 yuan for a household, and the total of 20 or so households present is 100,000 yuan! These three old monks, it is too easy to make money......
