Chapter Seventy-Eight: Weinan? Xiao Xie??
Chapter Seventy-Eight: Weinan? Xiao Xie??
"After the death of ordinary people, if the soul does not enter the underworld, it will become a lonely soul and wild ghost wandering around, without enough yin qi to replenish, it will not be long before the soul will be wiped out!"
"Even in a place where the yin qi is strong, if the yin soul does not have a suitable technique, it is extremely difficult to enhance its strength, and the hardships and dangers are not enough for outsiders."
Lin Chuan continued to say slowly, "If the soul is inadvertently contaminated with a fierce spirit, it will become an evil ghost, and although the strength of the fierce spirit can skyrocket and improve in a short time, it will forever lose its spiritual intelligence.
But the ghosts in this other courtyard not only do not have any exercises to bless, but also can continuously enhance their strength without hard cultivation, which is simply contrary to common sense, it is really incredible! ”
“…… Well, this is the first time I've heard of this! Xiao Xie listened to Lin Chuan's explanation, stuck out his tongue cutely, and said, "By the way, Childe, I don't know your name yet?" ”
Lin Chuan chuckled and said, "My name is Liu Jinchuan, and I am from Chang'an!" ”
Liu ...... Advance...... River......! Xiao Xie whispered it a few times word by word, memorized it firmly, and said, "Then I will call you Brother Liu in the future~!" ”
Lin Chuan smiled and nodded, and continued, "This courtyard is not only built in a place where yin qi gathers, but also the feng shui pattern in the house is quite strange, not only can it not promote the luck of the master's family, but it will bring bad luck to the master!" ”
Xiao Xie nodded as if he didn't understand, and listened carefully to Lin Chuan's explanation, "In addition, underground, in this secret room full of empty coffins, there are many formation patterns of 'cultivating ghosts in the soul circle, eliminating evil spirits and warding off evil spirits', all of this is definitely deliberately done by someone!" ”
"But... But we are dead to such an arrangement. What's in it for that person? Xiao Xie's little head was suddenly full of doubts, "This person has worked hard to prepare, it can't be 'kind to help' us ghosts and wild ghosts grow up~!" ”
"Of course...... No! Lin Chuan deliberately lengthened his tone to whet Xiao Xie's appetite, "The formation here is designed to enhance the soul power of the lonely soul. At the same time, the evil in the yin qi is removed, and the ghosts that grow up, the combat power is not strong but the soul body is pure and flawless, and the people who are on the side of the door and the left way can devour them with secret methods, which can increase the strength of the soul without any side effects and promote cultivation! ”
"Of course, this method works very slowly, and it can be regarded as a rather cold and gentle method of raising ghosts!"
"Ah~~ Brother Liu. Can you help us? After hearing this, Xiao Xie suddenly burst into tears, and begged pitifully, "Xiao Xie don't be eaten by bad people!" ”
Lin Chuan originally refused, the world is so big, he is weak, where can he find this mastermind behind the scenes, but he can't stand Xiao Xie's soft grinding and hard bubbles. I had to grind the wheel and say, "Uh." …… I'll try my best, but there's little hope, so I'd suggest you get out of here! ”
Waiting for Xiao Xie to leave, Lin Chuan thought back in his heart and suddenly realized that "Jiang Family's Courtyard... Yin Mansion ...... Xiao Xie and Qiu Rong...... Wait, this seems to be Weinan!! Oh, my God! Isn't this going to be a 'chatter'. Xiao Xie's story~!! ”
Originally, Lin Chuan hadn't thought of this. Just summed up what he had encountered, Lin Chuan was surprised to find that this was one of the stories of Liaozhai recorded by Pu Songling, and it was also inextricably linked to the TV series version of Liaozhai!
"Really, shouldn't this be the TV series version of Xianjian Yi? How can there be a chat story messing in!! ......" Lin Chuan rubbed his temples. I just feel that my head hurts!
Early the next morning
Lin Chuan went to Weinan County, the Jiang family courtyard is in the suburbs, only a few miles away from the county seat, Lin Chuan inquired around after entering the city, and roughly understood the situation of this abandoned courtyard and the Jiang family. Speaking of which, this generation of the head of the Jiang family is also quite related to Lin Chuan!
Lin Chuan's father is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the current dynasty, and Jiang Ziyun, the head of the Jiang family, happens to be a subordinate of Lin Chuan's father, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites! As far as Lin Chuan knew, the ancestor of the Jiang family abandoned Qiu Rong from the beginning, causing Qiu Rong to be dissatisfied after his death and wander the world.
Since the death of Qiu Rong decades ago, the surviving old lady Jiang, for some reason, has made extensive repairs to the Jiang family's courtyard, but soon after, the feng shui of the courtyard was greatly changed, and there was news of haunting, and the Jiang family abandoned this courtyard to this day.
This Weinan County is not far from the capital of Chang'an, and it is natural that it has become a commercial hub near the capital, so business travel is frequent.
The street is full of traffic, lively and extraordinary, Lin Chuan watched and walked, enjoying the rich and lively secular style, and unconsciously it was noon.
Lin Chuan chose a restaurant with a large scale on the street, and when he entered the door, he saw that the restaurant was full of guests, the decoration was exquisite and elegant, and the diners were staggered! ……
"Guest officer, please!" The shopkeeper enthusiastically took Lin Chuan to a window seat, poured tea neatly, and said with a smile, "What do you want to eat?" We have a lot of delicious food in the store! ”
"Oh~" Lin Chuan's eyes lit up and asked with interest, "Let's hear it!" ”
"Okay, our store braised elbows, wine-stuffed meatballs, stir-fried mutton is a must, our store's four-color fresh vegetables, but also fresh and fresh, fresh and elegant! ......" Xiao Er crackled and reported, three or four of the most distinctive dishes.
"In that case, let's serve all four dishes again~!" Lin Chuan snapped the folding fan and ordered, "And do you have any special drinks in your store!" ”
"Of course, of course, there is a good peach blossom fruit wine in our store, which is the same in the entire Weinan County!" As he spoke, Xiao Er gave a proud thumbs up.
"Then, two more pots of fruit wine!"
"Great! Wait a minute, the food and drinks will arrive soon!! After saying this, Xiao Er ran to greet other customers again, this restaurant is famous far and wide, it is the time of meal, and several shops are very busy!
……
"Have you heard about the haunting of the Jiang family?"
"Of course, I heard that the haunted courtyard of the Jiang family is not only haunted again, but also dead! …… It is said that ah~, the person who died is still Zhang Yuanwai's son! ”
Lin Chuan, who was deaf and clear-sighted, had long been aware of the conversation of the people at this table, drinking fruit wine, sandwiching dishes, and watching with relish.
"That's right, I saw with my own eyes that today, someone carried the body out of the courtyard, it's really terrifying~! Is there really a ghost~~"
Suddenly, a young Taoist priest walked in from outside the door, only to see a peachwood sword in his hand playing a sword flower, and affirmed, "Of course there are ghosts!" ”
"Tian Dao Chang is here!" The person at the table immediately got up and greeted with a smile. The person who came was a famous Tian Taoist priest in Weinan County, of course, the reason why he was famous was not because of his profound Taoism, but because his deceased father and grandfather were all well-known real people!
Thanks to the prestige and blessing of his ancestors, although Daoist Tian is still young and not proficient in learning, because of the "three generations of Heavenly Master Taoist", the big guy still regards him as a master of 'profound Taoism', and he is a little famous in the county!
Daoist Tian said matter-of-factly, the Jiang family's courtyard was full of yin, and he wanted to find an opportunity to exorcise ghosts and kill demons, but he didn't expect it to be a step too late.
In front of the public, the "hand dance" of the Taoist priest is very funny.
At this moment, a scholar in the restaurant, when he heard the god-like "performance" of Daoist Tian, laughed out loud without scruples, and made a bitter and spicy mockery, which made Daoist Tian feel embarrassed, and he was so angry that he smashed the peachwood sword at this scholar!
This flamboyant scholar, seeing that the Taoist priest moved the real fire, barely dodged a few powerful peachwood swords, took a kick from the Taoist priest Tian head-on, pulled up the white scholar at the same table, and fled!
Lin Chuan secretly thought in his heart that these two scholars should be the protagonist Tao Wangsan and the eldest lady of the Jiang family, Jiang Qianqian, and at the same time, he was even more convinced that the plot of this world was the plot in the reality TV series 'Liao Zhai'!
Lin Chuan, who had finished eating the wine and food, summoned Xiao Er, asked where Jiang's mansion was, then checked out and went out and paced to Jiang's house. Now that this plot has begun, it is better to visit the Jiang family, which is quite related.
The solemn and atmospheric mansion was hung with the three big characters of "Shilang's Mansion", Lin Chuan tidied up his appearance and knocked on the door. Large families have gatehouses to stay behind, and after a while, the door of Jiang's family slowly opens a small crack.
The little servant of Jiang Mansion saw that Lin Chuan was dressed up, but the fabric was exquisite and noble, so he politely asked, "What is the matter with the son!" ”
"Xiaosheng Liu Jinchuan, my father is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and your master is an official in the same dynasty, today Xiaosheng passed by Weinan and came to meet Shibo!" Lin Chuan said politely.
The little guy was 'frightened' when he heard it, and he felt that this master's father turned out to be his master's top boss. The Ministry of Rites is still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, which is one of the six departments of the imperial court, and Jiang Ziyun, as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is only the nominal "second-in-command" of the Ministry of Rites.
However, in the mechanism of the three provinces and six ministries of the current dynasty, the two positions of 'Shangshu' and 'Shilang' seem to be not much different, but in fact they are different from mud clouds!
The six Shangshu hold heavy power, and the six squires are at best just the secretaries of Shangshu's 'errands', if they make Shangshu unhappy, the squire will even be completely hollowed out and reduced to a false position.
Thinking of this, the little guy became more and more humble and said, "It turned out to be Liu Gongzi, my lord is at home, please come in first and sit down, and the villain will immediately go to report to the lord!" ”
Saying that, he led Lin Chuan in, because he hadn't yet shown the master, so the little guy could only move out a chair, ask him to sit in place for a while, and ran in to report by himself.
Jiang Ziyun, who was offering incense in the ancestral hall, was shocked when he heard the report of his subordinates, and shouted, "What? Son of Liu Shangshu...... Liu Jinchuan! Isn't it not long ago that Liu Jinchuan, who caused a sensation in Beijing and is known as the 'Three Uniques of Chang'an'!! Invite him to the main hall, and I'll be there!" ”
"Yes, sir!" The subordinates respectfully retreated, seeing that the master was so solemn, the subordinates had long regarded Lin Chuan as a "distinguished guest of the Jiang Mansion" in their hearts!
"Chang'an's three uniques? What does this mean, sir?? Master Jiang's housekeeper was a little puzzled, and asked curiously, "Lord Liu's second son, is there anything different?" ”
