Chapter 230: The Strange Snake in the Tang Family's Courtyard
If you have money, you will be a young model, and if you don't have money, you will go to the sea to pick up work!
The mad monk took Wei Yuan to the long-lost county town of Haiyan, and came to the door of a mansion in the south of the city.
There are stone piers in front of the door, and there are horse tethering stakes. Looking at the face, this family should be quite rich.
Wei Yuan looked up and saw that the plaque on the door was engraved with two big characters "Tang House".
There is no need to knock on the door, naturally there is someone who will send someone in to report it.
Soon an old butler in his fifties walked out of the door to greet him, and muttered, "Neglect!"
The mad monk is well-known in several nearby counties and more than a dozen towns, so naturally he not only relies on eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling to be improper, but more importantly, he can solve a lot of demons and evils. It can also protect a large area of land around it, and there are no too bad demon incidents.
In Wei Yuan's spare time, he heard people say that in those places farther away, there were often a large family of twenty or thirty people, and they were eaten into skeletons overnight; a certain village was invaded by a big demon, and thirty or fifty people died overnight; there were strange birds that appeared every night and ate babies under the age of three; or such and such a place became a ghost overnight, and those who strayed never came out, and so on.
There are three or four county towns in the vicinity, within a radius of 100 miles, and there are no such bad incidents.
There is such a great god in town, these people don't know how lucky they are.
Not to mention that the mad monk just eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and pays back money, that is, he has to change a big girl every month, and these people have to grit their teeth and admit it.
......
The old butler was leading the way a few steps ahead of him, and muttered with his head sideways.
"I think my Tang family, in the previous dynasty was also a famous official eunuch family, and I haven't done anything evil for hundreds of years, why did such a strange thing happen in the house?"
The mad monk smiled and said nothing, flicking his iron-striking fried twist sleeves and swaggering around.
Wei Yuan couldn't help it, and asked, "Old butler, I don't know what kind of strange thing it is? ”
The old housekeeper glanced at the mad monk, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he said: "About half a month ago, a little maid in the family suddenly saw a big snake with a thin arm and red gold on the beam of the side flower hall......!
Who knows, after that, one after another, people saw this red-gold snake haunting. A few days ago, I saw even the old decay once, and I was so frightened that the flower pot in my hand fell. Last night, the young lady suddenly saw this snake outside the bedroom window, and she was so frightened that she had a miscarriage!"
The old housekeeper was sad and sad, saying that the Tang family had accumulated virtue and done good, but the heirs were not prosperous. Unexpectedly, because of this, it led to serious consequences.
No, hurry up and send someone to the temple to invite Elder Feng!
The big snake has thick arms, and it is also red gold! It is elusive! I know that it is not easy to deal with when I hear this!
It's just strange that this red gold snake didn't hurt anyone, and even the young lady had a miscarriage, she was scared. This shouldn't mean to be subjectively harmful, right?
The mad monk didn't change the slightest bit after hearing the cause and effect, and asked with a smile: "Wuji disciple, what do you think of this matter?"
Wei Yuan nodded solemnly and replied, "Master, there must be something strange in this!"
Old butler: Why the hell do you still need to say! I didn't ask you for anything?
The group met Master Tang, who had a miscarriage because his daughter-in-law was scared, and he was sad that he was bedridden.
As I said before, the heirs of the Tang family are not prosperous, and Master Tang has only one son, and he only cares about reading every day, and he doesn't know much about the world and doesn't like women very much. I have been married to my wife for three years, and I finally got pregnant, but I had a miscarriage. Master Tang almost didn't go with him.
When the loyal old butler saw this, his eyes were red and he comforted: "Master, you have to take care of your health! I invited Elder Feng to get rid of the demon snake." ”
Wei Yuan said on the side: "That's it, Master Tang still has to focus on his body." With my master here, there is no problem. ”
Wei Yuan pushed the mad monk: Master, you can say something, so you can raise the price!
The mad monk cleared his throat: "Ahem, Master Tang doesn't have to be sad, as the saying goes, if the old doesn't go and the new doesn't come, it's not necessarily a bad thing." ”
Old Master Tang was so angry that his eyes bulged out, and he almost followed his unborn grandson without taking a breath.
The old butler was so annoyed in his heart, although he heard that the mad monk was very improper, he didn't expect to be able to say such a thing!
But I can't afford to provoke it, so I can't just drive it out.
Hurry up and take this pair of annoying masters and apprentices out, don't make your master angry to death.
Wei Yuan is really admiring his cheap master.
Wei Yuan: The master is really good! This little mouth is like eating the old eight set meal, it is fragrant! If it weren't for his strength, he would have been beaten to death 100 times.
After coming out of Master Tang's room, the mad monk said, "I already know what's going on. Butler, you do this, and you do this...... Got it?"
The old butler frowned when he heard this, what the mad monk said was not easy to do, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
The reason why the mad monk was invited to come was because he couldn't hold on anymore. If this continues, this Tang Mansion will not be able to treat people.
Other warlocks and monks have not been invited.
I invited four or five, two of them couldn't find any big snakes, two of them saw big snakes, but no matter what spells and spells were useless, and one of the fat monks was actually thrown down by the tail of the big snake and lost a mouthful of teeth.
Now we can only count on this unscrupulous mad monk!
Seeing noon, the mad monk asked the butler to prepare a large table of good wine and food. It's all hard dishes, big fish and meat! It's better than what you eat in that restaurant!
I don't know if it's with the idea of not eating for nothing, the mad monk actually asked to add vegetables, saying that there is no way to catch demons if he is not full!
The master and apprentice ate and drank nonsense, and they were stunned for an hour, which was called a mess of cups and plates.
At this time, the old butler came with a somewhat ugly face and said, "Elder Feng, it's almost over, do you want to take a look." lest the snake demon hurt anyone. ”
As the so-called cannibalistic mouth is short, the mad monk nodded, and walked towards the garden with Wei Yuan swaying.
When the Tang family was in the Ming Dynasty, there were many big officials, and they never broke for a hundred years. At that time, it was also a well-known family in the county. Now in the Great Zhou Dynasty, this luck has not been continued, and the family business is declining and sluggish, but this ancestral house is still very generous. There is also a large garden with a pond in the front and back five entrances, and the rockery flowers and trees are scattered, and the pavilions and verandahs are connected, which is very beautiful.
At this time, people in their twenties and thirties are digging for ponds there!
Fortunately, this pond is living water, connected to a river in the county, so the source is blocked, and the water is panning while releasing water, which is almost done in two hours.
At this time, the originally large pond was left with only a small area of about ten meters in the middle of the pond. Large areas of silt, fish, shrimp and lotus roots were exposed.
The old butler was a little nervous, the red gold snake was thicker than an arm, nearly a zhang long, if it was really at the bottom of this pond, it would be almost the same now.
He was worried that the big snake would hurt people!
"Master, you see ......" the old butler looked at the mad monk with a blank eye.
"Don't panic, the rich monk is here, nothing can happen. ”
Suddenly, I heard those naked people in dirty pants exclaiming, "Eh, what do you think is that?"
When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be a small piece of red gold on the surface of the water!
"Damn, big snake!"
I don't know who screamed like this, and everyone was so frightened that they ran out of the house. At this time, they are all knee-deep in the mud, and it is okay to walk slowly, but the more you want to run, the more you can't.
One by one, they fell into the dark mud, and they looked like mud brothers!
"Don't panic, that's not a snake. The mad monk said softly.
The voice sounded in everyone's ears, and the hearts of those family members suddenly stabilized. Got up with difficulty, stood in the mud, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.
After a long time, the old housekeeper shouted: "Continue to dig for water!"
The housekeepers went out bucket by barrel to fetch water, and soon the thing was revealed.
The crowd began to whisper:
"It's not a snake!"
"Nonsense, whose snake is upright?"
"What is this? Why are there so many rings?"
"It seems to be...... Zen staff!"
"Don't say it, like!"
That's right, in the mud of the pond, there is a red-gold Zen staff, and the top of the rod has three half-wheels, and each half-wheel has three copper rings hanging on it. Nine-ring red gold Zen staff!
The bold man couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and when he heard the sound of "eh", the guy flew four or five meters upside down and fell into the mud. Everyone hurriedly pulled him out and saw that he was not injured, but no one dared to touch the Zen staff anymore.
The mad monk smiled and said, "You can't touch this Zen staff...... Mowgli, go and get the staff. ”
