Chapter 246: Haunted
γ Ask for a subscription, ask for the first order!
Chen Jianchen observed the other party, one was dressed as a Taoist priest, with a medium stature, a dignified appearance, a Taoist bun on the top, and a jasper hairpin inserted horizontally, which seemed to have a rich and noble atmosphere. He was dressed in a Taoist robe, carrying a wooden box with all sorts of creatures in it, and green cloth shoes under his feet, the uppers of which were not stained with mud.
From this point of view, there is indeed some doorway.
The little guy next to him, a young man in his early twenties, was soaking wet, and the rain on his head didn't have time to dry it. He also looked at Chen Jianchen and asked, "Who are the two?"
Chen Jianchen replied: "I came to Guizhuang to spend the night, and I have already troubled the housekeeper to report it." β
The little guy sighed, ignored it, and began to call the door.
The Taoist priest's eyes rolled slightly, and then his head was raised like a proud rooster.
Soon, the door opened, and the old housekeeper walked out, and when he saw the little maid with the Taoist priest, a smile immediately piled up on his face: "Ah Shui, you have invited Ling Feng Zhenren, come into the hall, the old man is waiting in a hurry." β
Ah Shui took Ling Feng Zhenren and went in proudly.
Then the old housekeeper said to Chen Jianchen: "Son, my master has promised to let my son stay overnight, please come with me." β
"Thank you. β
ββIn the Tiantong Dynasty, when you are away from home and can't live in an inn for a long time, staying overnight has become a common way to stay overnight.
The old butler led them into the house.
When I looked up, although it was getting late and I couldn't see it clearly, it was obviously a big Zhuangzi. Presumably, the owner of the village is either rich or expensive, so that he can sit on such a other party.
"Hehe, dare to ask the old housekeeper's surname?"
The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Just call me Lao Li, and follow my master's surname." β
Chen Jianchen nodded: "The structure of the Xiaoshengguan Mansion is unique. It can be seen that there is a furrow in the chest of the lord of your mansion. β
Lao Li smiled: "The son came from afar, and it is normal to not know the name of my master." My lord is a retired official, and during his tenure, he was an official to the Ministry of Rites, so everyone is called Li Bulang. β
- Ministry Lang, that is, among the six Lang, the staff outside the Lang, divided into chapters and divisions, and the status is second to Shangshu and Shilang. Count as a mid-level official.
"I see, it's disrespectful. β
Greeting and walking all the way, I learned something about the Li Mansion.
That Li Bulang. The name "Ding" has been retired from the imperial court for five years. After retirement, I will return to my hometown to retire, and I can find relatives and friends in my spare time.
When Chen Jianchen asked if the Li Mansion invited a Taoist priest to come to the door and whether he wanted to do any rituals, Lao Li's footsteps froze, and he was obviously unnatural, and said, "Don't ask more about this son." Stay one night and hit the road tomorrow. β
"It's a little bit of a mouthful. β
Walking all the way, I bent through a winding corridor and came to a side room.
Lao Li opened the door and made a gesture of "please": "Son, please come in, my lord heard that you are a scholar who is studying and studying." I wanted to invite my son to the hall to talk, but there was something happening temporarily, and I had no time to withdraw, so I didn't entertain well, and I hope that my son will bear with me. β
Chen Jianchen said: "Steward Li is too polite, he is out of the house. To have a room to live in is unwanted. β
Lao Li said again: "The son has traveled far away, presumably he has not eaten dinner yet, and I will instruct my subordinates to bring some food later." Please don't dislike the rude diet. β
This Steward Li is polite and decent, which shows that the old man must also be a hospitable person, and after he retreated, he did not have the arrogance of officialdom at all, although he had never met, he could also make a good impression.
It didn't take long for a maid to bring the food, three dishes and one soup, meat and vegetables, steaming, and fragrant.
This diet is superior to inns.
Chen Jianchen was a little hungry, and he was not polite, so he sat down with Ying Ning and feasted - after Ying Ning turned into a human form, he tried fireworks in the world, and ate rice, meat and vegetables for a long time, and he was no different from mortals. Not to mention, constant persistence has a non-negligible helping effect on her personal stability. ...,
After eating and drinking, the maid cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks again.
This partial room is quite wide, presumably usually used as a guest room, with two wooden beds in the room, just for Chen Jianchen and Ying Ning, one bed per person, arranged very intimately.
Chen Jianchen said: "This Li Bulang is so thoughtful, if you can, you really have to thank him in person." β
Ying Ning smiled: "Don't you think it's strange?"
Chen Jianchen understood what she meant: "It's a little strange, but people don't say it, and I'm embarrassed to ask endlessly." β
Ying Ning held his chin: "That Taoist priest certainly has some skills, but it's only half a bucket of water." β
Chen Jianchen replied: "But isn't it? A little fox spirit is alive in front of him, and he can't see it." β
Ying Ning said angrily: "The son is ridiculing others again." β
Chen Jianchen's eyes widened: "Why do you want to say another word?"
"Hee-hee, Ying Ning is willing. β
In fact, she condensed the golden pill and turned into a human form, and what she cultivated was the authentic and orthodox Kunlun spell, and her whole body did not contain the slightest bit of blood and disobedience, how could ordinary cultivators recognize her true body?
Chen Jianchen said: "I'm wondering, is there something wrong with Li Bulang's family?"
"Well, what did the boy say?"
Chen Jianchen said solemnly: "Haunted!"
Ying Ning's eyes were wide open, very cute: "Yes, I'll just say, all the way in, it feels weird, and I always feel that something is wrong." β
Chen Jianchen asked, "Do you feel it too?" and said the word "also", which showed that he felt the same way. In fact, righteousness is the natural nemesis of all evil spirits, and for unclean things, the sense of smell is much sharper than that of the two Daoist and Taoist methods, and if there is a slight movement, the "Zheng Chao Post" in the world of the Mud Pill Palace, as well as the Haoran Yangwu Sword, will be disturbed and will issue a warning.
Ying Ning's eyes sparkled: "It's a pity that it's not very exact." β
"It's too far away to grasp. β
"So what to do?"
Chen Jianchen spread his hands: "Didn't people invite Taoist masters, or we don't need to worry about it at all." β
"That's for the best. β
was gossiping under the lamp, when the maid knocked on the door again to bring hot water.
Chen Jianchen combed and washed roughly, took out the waste water and poured it, and the maid took the bucket to say goodbye. In the room, Ying Ning had already taken out the four treasures of the study room from the blood sandalwood book, as well as the books that Chen Jianchen wanted to read, and placed them on the table.
Tonight is stormy and opportune, and it is time for the meeting, so it is estimated that something will happen, so I can't go to bed too early. Besides, Chen Jianchen is not usually used to going to bed early, and every night he will do enough homework for a period of time, read books, or write or something. This habit has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, just as Taoist priests have to meditate every day, and Buddhist monks have to chant sutras and worship Buddha every day, which has become a signature behavior.
The room fell silent.
The lights jumped slightly, reflecting two upright and serious faces, Ying Ning did not read as usual, but sat cross-legged on the bed and did kung fu - although she followed her son and became a personal little scholar, she never slackened her homework in her cultivation. Because she knew that only by improving her own cultivation could she better help Childe realize his ambitions.
It's just that the two of them who are reading and writing like this, and the state of the two who practice on the side seems to be very rare. Since Childe and Sister Lu got married, something has inevitably changed. It's not that the relationship between them has a diaphragm.,It's that I'm not so embarrassed to be with Childe all day long.γ
Well, people, why do they get married?
I heard Po say that getting married is to have a baby...... It should be wrong, because if it is just for the sake of giving birth to a baby, why would people deliberately choose a certain object to marry?
It's a very esoteric question, so don't think too much about it. ...,
The eyes secretly opened a slit, and glanced at the son who was reading a book seriously, and saw that his sword eyebrows were sharp, and his thin lips were pursed into a line, which was very solemn...... I also heard Ah Bao say that after people get married, they will do a lot of interesting things, but how to be funny, she blushed and couldn't say clearly. I just know that when I talk about this, I can't help but laugh.
At that time, I will laugh with Po. Only Childe was kept in the dark, and Ah Bao said that he must not tell anyone else, even Childe.
At this time, Chen Jianchen finished reading a page of the book, and raised his head slightly when he turned the page.
Ying Ning hurriedly closed her eyes and began to truly immerse herself in the world of selflessness like cultivation.
The wind and rain outside the window are falling even harder.
......
Li Mansion, above the hall, Ling Feng Zhenren sat on the upper seat, and next to him sat an old man with a sixtieth beard, three strands of beard were snow-white, although he sat on the chair, his waist was straight, but the haggard color on his face could not be concealed no matter what.
He is the master of the Li Mansion, Li Ding, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites.
"Real people, please use tea!"
Ling Feng Zhenren graciously picked up a cup of good tea, took a sip, and said, "Old official Li, this tea is good, and it has a good hair." β
Li Ding praised: "The real person is really a master of the tea ceremony, in a word." β
Ling Feng Zhenren took another sip, his eyebrows stretched out with great enjoyment, put down the teacup, and got straight to the point: "Old official, I don't know what you sent your subordinates to Aolai Peak to hurriedly come to Aolai Peak to invite the poor road down the mountain?"
Li Ding frowned: "Then Ah Shui didn't explain it to the real person?"
Ling Feng Zhenren stroked his short beard, and felt a little irritable in his heart inexplicably - he has been growing this beard for several years, but he can't grow it anymore, every time he strokes, the length is not enough, and the old man will empty it, which is very unhappy, and he always feels that it will damage his family dignity: "Hehe, the next person said something, but the words were random and not very clear, so I have to ask the old official to say it in person." β
Li Ding sighed heavily and frowned.
Seeing this, Ling Feng Zhenren said angrily: "If the old official has any troubles, just say it, he has his own poor way to help you share your worries." β
Li Ding smiled bitterly, groaned slightly, and finally said slowly: "Real person, don't hide it, our village has been haunted recently." It's so troublesome that the chickens and dogs are restless, and the people are panicked, and the old man has a headache and distress!"
In other words, have any readers guessed that the character of which story is going to appear?
