"Ever heard of the Dry Ghost?"

Luo Chanyi deliberately lowered his voice, and the originally noisy crowd invariably held their breath and listened, and it was as quiet as if no one was there for a while.

The middle-aged man's voice couldn't help but be lowered, and he guessed, "It's the ghost who made us drought?" ”

Luo Chanyi nodded: "Yes, the reason why it hasn't rained in Shahu County is because he has been entrenched here." ”

The uncle suddenly said smartly: "Is it Master Bai Wuchang who subdued him?" ”

Luo Chanyi glanced at him with appreciation, and said: "But it's not to accept it, it's just to drive him away, the drought ghost has lived for thousands of years, and it's not the cabbage you grow at home, you can harvest it." ”

A few people in the crowd laughed, but they didn't dare to make a mistake, and their voices were very controlled.

The aunt "hissed" worriedly: "It's just that I ran away, I'm afraid I'll come back in the future." ”

The worry spread among the people, and everyone's faces were worried, and they didn't know what to do.

"Then why did the drought ghost stay in Shahu County for so long? It's okay for him to stay in a different place for a while, but he can't be ruined in one place, how can people live. "Someone started complaining.

The person next to him should also add: "Yes, how can you go to that flooded place to stay longer." ”

Luo Chanyi nodded approvingly: "Well said, then you might as well guess, why do the drought ghosts like Shahu County?" ”

She asked like this, obviously knowing the details, and the expressions on people's faces changed, some were stunned, some were dignified, and some whispered in their ears.

The man pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that Shahu County has broken some rules, but we don't know it." ”

Luo Chanyi glanced at him, did not directly answer yes or no, only said: "The reason why I am resident in Shahu County is only because the yang is prosperous and the yin is declining here, which is conducive to the recuperation of the drought ghost." ”

"Yang flourishes and Yin declines?"

Everyone was confused, and some people said that it was because of feng shui, and the mountain in front of them should be moved.

Some people also say that willow trees belong to yin, and willow trees should be planted at the door of every house in the future.

Some people say that the sun is yang and the moon is yin, and they should worship the moon on the fifteenth day of every month......

"Shh Luo Chanyi put a slender finger to his lips and motioned to everyone.

Everyone was very cooperative, and immediately fell silent, so quiet that they heard the birds chirping in the trees.

In addition, I only heard the sound of quarrels coming from the east side room, which sounded like the second son of his family.

"When can your mouth be changed, you dare to go out and talk nonsense."

The other female voice said something weakly.

In exchange for the man's more violent tone: "I can't say half a sentence, why I beat you last time, you forgot it, I see that your skin is itchy again, don't eat today......"

Luo Chanyi listened to the harsh voice and looked at the faces of the men in front of her, but there was nothing abnormal about them, and they seemed to think that it was normal to teach their daughter-in-law a lesson like this.

The aunt who sold vegetables was the first to react and glared at her man: "If you dare to do this to me, I will fight with you." ”

The uncle looked aggrieved: "Don't treat me like this, I'll thank God." ”

This sentence caused everyone to laugh, and the laughter contained a full mockery, mocking him for not being like a man, mocking him for being afraid of his mother-in-law like a mouse and a cat.

Luo Chanyi sighed secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed, people's concepts will take root and sprout, and what they see is a grass, but it is actually a towering tree.

She also suddenly figured out why she felt happy when she saw the uncle and aunt selling vegetables at that time, because there was no absolute suppression between them.

You're going to scold me, I'm going to fight back, you're going to do it, I'm going to defend.

The two of them look at each other for a long time, and they must be looking at each other at eye level. Every time I back down, it's not because I don't dare, but because I'm spoiled.

Among the crowd, there was only one man who didn't smile, it was the middle-aged man standing in front of Luo Chanyi, his expression was dark, his head was half-hung, and he was slightly stunned.

After a long time, he looked up at Luo Chanyi, as if he had figured out something, and his eyes flashed: "Dao Changduo said that the yang is prosperous and the yin is declining, this is it." ”

It's rare that there is a person who is not deeply poisoned, Luo Chanyi nodded at him.

When the others saw this, they couldn't help but be surprised, and they started talking about it in groups.

The man's face sank, he suppressed a heavy breath, and turned to look at everyone: "I told you a long time ago......"

The sudden sound startled everyone, and they all looked up at the middle-aged man.

"Let your own wives be better, they cook for you, give birth to children for you, and be called and drunk by you every day, and let you beat and scold?"

After he said this, the men did not dare to question it, and lowered their eyes one by one.

Luo Chanyi guessed that this person should have an unusual status, and he was definitely a person who loved his wife, otherwise he would dare to say this, and he would not be sprayed to death by saliva immediately.

"Yang and yin are declining, you are all doing it yourself, if you don't treat your wife and daughter better in the future, the drought ghost will have to come back sooner or later, and then the men will collectively wipe their necks."

Everyone was silent for a while.

Until a short man looked at Luo Chanyi and asked carefully, "Dao Chief, is this true?" ”

Seeing that he was suspicious, Luo Chanyi's face turned cold: "What should be said and what should not be said, I have said it, this matter has nothing to do with me, and it is up to you to do it in the future." ”

With that, she turned around, ignored the crowd, and walked into the house.

"What nonsense to say, make the Taoist chief unhappy!" There was a rebuke behind him.

"Thank you, Chief."

"Thank you, Chief—"

The sound of thanks rang out, and Luo Chanyi didn't look back and went directly into the house.

Lu Jue stood tall in front of the table, his head bowed, and a pen in his hand.

She leaned over to see that he was painting.

Different from his previous brightly colored landscapes, flowers and birds, the whole picture is rendered a little gray, and countless rains fall in the sky, falling in a dry world.

The field was covered with a layer of black crushed locusts, and he drew them so realistically that the fluff on the thin legs and the faint raindrops hung on the fluff could be clearly seen in the nearby locusts.

Presumably, Lu Jue wanted to record the significance of this time, which used to mean unlucky rain, but this time it brought hope.

It's just that the painting is not yet finished, and he deliberately leaves a blank space in it, and does not depict any scenes.

"What are you going to draw here?" Intrigued, she pointed to the empty space.

After Lu Jue finished drawing the last stroke, he turned his eyes to look at the place of her finger, was silent for a moment, put away his pen and said, "What do you think?" ”

Luo Chanyi looked at the painting, touched his chin and pondered, crops, heavy rain, locusts...... What else could there be.

It seems that there is one less locust eater!

She looked at Lu Jue and said tentatively, "The blue turban? ”

"Blue turban?" Lu Jue met her gaze in astonishment.

Eventually, he nodded as if he were playing the piano: "Yes, you're right." ”

She knew that she was wrong, but he just put away the pen at this time and stopped drawing, so he had to chase after and ask, "What is that?" ”

Lu never spoke again, but put the painting in the back window to ventilate and dry the ink on it.

Luo Chanyi knew that he didn't have any artistic talent, maybe this was Lu Jue's unique blank space, and he didn't delve into it.

Thinking of the blue turban, he couldn't help but say, "You are not light on this move, he hasn't woken up yet." ”

He stood by the window, looking at the verdant vegetable garden outside the window, his expression was slightly stunned, and he said for no reason: "You say, there is a god three feet above your head......"

Luo Chanyi knew that he must have remembered the scene of the evil catching locusts in the blue turban, she thought for a while and said, "Well, do you believe in gods?" ”

His gaze became darker, so deep that there was no shadow in the eyes of everything in the world: "If so, what do they do every day?" Watching a good show? Just like the rain god, when did he see him have mercy on the world. ”

"......" Luo Chanyi sighed silently in his heart when he heard this, sometimes God is not omnipotent.

A person's suffering is predetermined, no one can redeem it, and even if he asks for something, he will lose something of equal value one after another.

"The gods must be busy too...... she said.

He turned his head to look at her, he knew that she actually believed in her, she would often say that she was a god with a head of three feet, he was a little curious, and couldn't help asking: "There are so many immortals, which one do you believe?" ”

Luo Chanyi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to ask this, thought about it seriously, and replied: "The ...... of the underworld Your Excellency. ”

Lu Jue was a little surprised and looked at her in a daze.

I thought she would say the Jade Emperor, Yuan Shi Tianzun and the like.

Luo Chanyi saw that he was puzzled, but what she said was the truth, she didn't know any other gods, and the most convincing thing was the judge.

She explained, "Don't underestimate the Judge, he's very powerful. ”

As if she had seen it with her own eyes, he asked, "How powerful?" ”

Luo Chanyi wanted to describe to him in great detail the skills of the judge and how afraid the people of the underworld were of him, but unfortunately she couldn't say anything.

He only turned around and stopped looking at him, and said vaguely: "It's very powerful anyway......"

Lu Jue looked at her with a strange look in his eyes.

"Wake up, Sanga wake up!" Suddenly there was a loud cry of excitement from next door.

When the two heard the sound, they immediately went out and went to the next door.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard a sound of vomiting.

The blue turban lay on the edge of the bed, her whole head buried in the spittoon, the old woman sat on the edge of the bed and knocked on his back, and everyone else was in the room.

"Dao Chief, you're here, it's okay to see like this." Daman's face showed a look of relief.

When the blue turban heard this, he suddenly looked up at Luo Chanyi and them, with a look of horror in his eyes, like a mouse that had only seen a cat, cowered to the corner of the bed, and shouted loudly in fright: "Mother-"

Luo Chanyi sneered: "Don't call it that, let's call it Dao Chief." ”

The old woman immediately took him in her arms in distress and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, don't mess with them, they won't touch you anymore." ”

"He deserves it!" Daman's father glanced at them, then looked at Lu Jue and them, and a smile appeared on his face: "Hungry, the meal is ready, let's eat." ”

"Yes, eat, eat!" Daman immediately opened up.

The air after the rain is very fresh, and tables and chairs are placed in the center of the courtyard, which are different from the previous low tables, and this high table and chairs are only used to entertain VIPs.

The table was soon full of food and wine, and Fat Ni saw so many delicious foods for the first time, so she didn't dare to take them with her own hands, but was so happy that she jumped around the yard.

"Don't jump!" The blue turban was just helped out by her daughter-in-law, and she glared at the staggering fat girl: "When I jumped, I remembered the locust...... Vomit! ”

He quickly covered his mouth, quickly turned around and went into the house to vomit.

Seeing this, Daman's face turned dark, and he looked at Lu Jue and them worriedly: "Don't let people eat, don't come out!" ”
