When Qi Jingzhi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Brother Tai is really open-minded, and when he encounters such a strange thing, he is still in the mood to laugh. Brother Wei learned that I see that your body is very vigorous, and you are naturally still a living person, as for becoming a god...... I don't think there's such a cheap thing in the world!"

"Well, what if you're not open-minded? There are many strange and unpredictable things in this world, and the foolish brother has heard a lot of them in Beijing, and he knows that he can't hide from them, and it's useless to hesitate and worry."

Wei Yingdian sighed, and immediately laughed at himself: "Actually, I just figured out this section, but thanks to the foolish brother who has also been a langzhong in the Ministry of Rites, he has always boasted that he knows his fate, but he didn't think that once it was about himself, he didn't even understand it before my brother. Shinto has always been precious, even if the lord of the country has a heavenly constitution in his mouth, but he will not easily be enthroned, even if it is an evil god who does not enter the countryside, it is also supported by many foolish men and women over the years, how can an old woman do it?"

Speaking of this, Wei Yingdian hesitated slightly, and then said softly: "Don't hide it from my brother, the foolish brother was sacrificed in a dream last night, and saw the old woman standing alone, hanging from each other, and her expression was sad and sincere, I had compassion in my heart, and I woke up only to say that it was a dream, and I didn't want to have such a house and such an old woman here, if I didn't go to see it with my own eyes, this heart was uneasy!"

Immediately, this former Great Qi Rite Lang Zhong actually bowed his hand to Qi Jingyi, and said angrily: "The world is sinister, life is difficult, my brother is good at cherishing himself, and the foolish brother will take the first step!"

With that, he turned around and strode towards the outside of the inn, and the Wei family's servant, who had been standing quietly on the side, immediately followed.

Qi Jingzhi looked at Wei Yingdian's back in surprise, and felt that this person was really a little different, obviously he was frightened and uncertain a moment ago, and his eyes were as if he was about to eat people, but in a blink of an eye, his mood calmed down, and he even had the courage to go and find out.

He immediately followed, caught up with Wei Yingdian in a few steps, and advised, "Brother Wei's trip is unpredictable, and it is too risky. If you really want to go, as your identity, you can go to Yunxiang County first, find the county's demon capital to help, or pray at the City God Temple, if you were hooked out of your soul by some evil last night, Yin Si will hear it and will respond."

Wei Yingdian didn't stop, shook his head and said, "Since that jujube girl is well-known far and wide, it is expected that she is not evil, and her sacrifice intention is very sincere, and it will not harm my heart, so there is really no need to make a big fuss."

Qi Jingzhi nodded, and said leisurely, "Then I'll accompany my brother to the stage!" Speaking of which, Brother Wei wasn't the only one who ate dates last night!"

Wei Yingdian was overjoyed when he heard this, then he was stunned, and finally remembered Qi Jingzhi's bag of jujubes: "Don't you mention that I forgot, where did my brother's dates come from?"

Qi Jingzhi shook his head: "I'm also confused, let's go to the jujube girl's house first."

As they spoke, the three of them left the inn, hired an ox cart in the town, and headed in the direction of Qu'ahou Lake.

Qi Jingzhi sat on the swaying ox cart, quietly looking at the scenery of the water towns that are very different from Songling County along the way, which was quite comfortable.

Wei Yingdian obviously had something on his mind, but he still cheered up, pointed out Yanlan all the way, and didn't forget to ask the coachman about the long and short questions, but unfortunately he didn't hear much about the jujube concubine, but listened to the ears full of scandalous news about the otter girl.

Qi Jingzhi smiled secretly, but also couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of the world. Yesterday, Wei Yingdian only talked about the fate of crossing the same boat together, and he didn't want to go in the same car with this old man today.

After a few miles, a sparkling lake appeared in front of several people.

On the shore of the lake is a long causeway that does not end to the end, and not far from the causeway is a neat house with white walls and black tiles.

The two jujube trees in the courtyard are towering to the sky, the red jujube hangs all over the branches, the red clouds are like fire from afar, and the wind faintly carries the fragrance of jujube and wine.

Qi Jingzhi could see clearly, the dates on this tree were indeed the same as those in the jujube bag.

Wei Yingdian was already impatient, so he immediately jumped out of the ox cart and hurried to the front of the mansion, and only then did he knock on the courtyard door with great luck.

Unexpectedly, the courtyard door was just hidden, Wei Yingdian opened it as soon as he knocked, and only glanced inward before the whole person was stunned.

Qi Jingzhi stood beside Wei Yingdian, raised his eyes and looked into the courtyard, and saw an incense case still placed under the two jujube trees.

There is an incense burner placed on the incense table, the incense in the furnace has long been cold, there is a porcelain plate in front of the stove, and the plate is a neatly stacked red date.

Needless to say, this is where the jujube concubine set up a sacrifice last night and Lang Zhong was feasted.

Wei Yingdian finally came back to his senses, and instead of walking towards the courtyard, he took a deep breath and asked in a loud voice, "Is the jujube concubine at home?"

Before he finished speaking, someone in the hall that also covered the door answered, sounding old and hoarse: "My dates are not sold, if the guests are hungry and thirsty on the road, they can pick a few to satisfy their hunger."

Hearing this, Wei Yingdian's expression moved again, and he asked again, "I'm not here to buy dates, dare to ask who the old man sacrificed last night?"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence inside and outside the hall for a long time, and then only a squeak was heard, and an old woman with goosebumps and a hunched back opened the door, raised her head and squinted her eyes, and looked at several uninvited guests at the courtyard gate suspiciously.

Seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Wei Yingdian first nodded heavily at Qi Jingzhi, and then gave a deep salute to the jujube concubine, and said loudly: "The two jujube trees in your house are like clouds and fragrant for ten miles.

He paused, and said sincerely: "I'm ashamed to say that I once served in the Ministry of Rites in Beijing, and I knew a little bit about the sacrificial rites, but I was lonely and unheard of, and I had never heard of jujube as a sacrifice, so I took the liberty to ask for advice, please forgive me for the abruptness!"

After listening quietly, Zao Yu said slowly: "The old woman is just a country woman, where do you know what sacrificial rituals are. Yesterday was the day of my deceased husband's sacrifice, because his family was poor and had no money to buy wine and meat, so he had to put some home-grown dates on his offerings!"

Speaking of this, the old woman looked up at the jujube trees in the courtyard, and there was a faint sadness in her expression: "Speaking of which, these two jujube trees were planted by the deceased husband before his death, but unfortunately he left before they could bear fruit, and thirty-one years have passed in the blink of an eye."

From the moment he saw this mansion from a distance, Qi Jingzhi secretly opened his spiritual aperture, concentrating on the flow and changes of the surrounding spiritual energy, but except for the gathering of wood qi around the two jujube trees and the breath was quite fresh, he did not find anything abnormal.

As soon as the jujube girl opened the door, he moved his gaze from the two jujube trees to the other party, and the other party was indeed just an old woman in her last years.

However, Qi Jingzhi was keenly aware that when the jujube girl looked at the jujube tree and mentioned her deceased husband, the breath of the two jujube trees fluctuated suddenly, like a raindrop falling into the lake, stirring up a circle of insignificant ripples.

It's just that without waiting for Qi Jingzhi to sense it carefully, the aura on Wei Yingdian's body on the side suddenly fluctuated violently, interrupting his pursuit of the source of the jujube tree's abnormality.

It's not that Wei Yingdian, the former head of the Ministry of Rites, has hidden cultivation in his body, but that when he heard the words "thirty-one years", his mood suddenly became turbulent, and even the qi and blood in his body also rose and fell.

"Yesterday 31 Years Ago......

Wei Yingdian's tone had a hint of trill: "Dare to ask if the years and months of Zunfu's death are ...... Isn't it ......?"

He muttered for a long time before he spit out a year, month, day, and hour.

When Zao Fei heard this, her face was a little hesitant, and she finally couldn't help but ask, "How did the guest know?"

Hearing this, Wei Yingdian's face turned a little pale, and he shook his head and did not answer.

He stared at Zao Fei in a daze for a long time, and then suddenly realized, and looked away at the young swordsman on the side.

Qi Jingzhi's mind was clear, seeing Wei Yingdian's appearance, he couldn't guess that what he just said should be his birthday, and the day of the death of the old woman's husband was the time when Wei Yingdian was born!

Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly, and praised in a low voice: "If it is really as Brother Wei thought, the person who planted this jujube tree back then must be a living sage who has no bad karma and no dust in his heart!"

Wei Yingdian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, "What does my brother mean by this?"

"Brother Wei, as far as I know......

Qi Jingzhi opened one

Head, he suddenly paused, shook his head with a smile and said, "It's just that there is an unformed idea, I don't know if it's right or not, Brother Wei doesn't need to care. Today's incident is too shocking, how to deal with it, it's up to Brother Tai to decide!"

In fact, the young man originally wanted to say that the necromancer needs to wash away the red dust karma in the yellow spring before he can break free from the shackles and fly into reincarnation.

But when he thought about it, his matter of reincarnation was just hearsay, and he didn't know the details. Besides, you can't think that if you can't be a flawless sage yourself, you can't think that others can't do it either, right?

In short, it's better not to speak rashly about things you don't understand.

Wei Yingdian's mood was already in turmoil, seeing that the young man refused to speak, and he didn't have the heart to investigate further, he reached out and touched his whole body for a long time, and took out a lot of scattered silver.

He glared back at his little servant and scolded, "What are you doing standing stupidly? Don't give me all the money you have!"

Just looking at the age of this little guy, I know that he is not the kind of confidant who grew up with his master, and I am afraid that he does not know Wei Yingdian's birthday.

This little guy was originally confused, and he was even more confused at this time, but he didn't dare to disobey his master's will, and honestly hollowed out the last copper plate on his body.

Wei Yingdian put the silver coins together, held them in both hands and handed them to Zaoyu, and said apologetically: "I came out in a hurry today, and I only have these ...... on my body."

The jujube girl looked at Wei Yingdian with surprise and suspicion in her eyes, and even brought a hint of vigilance: "This guest, the old woman said before, if you are hungry and thirsty on the road, pick a few dates from the tree and eat them, but these two tree dates have already been set and are not sold to the outside."

She paused, and her tone became more and more firm: "Not only are the dates not sold, but these two date trees were planted by my deceased husband himself, so they can't be sold!"

Wei Yingdian hurriedly shook his head: "I don't buy dates, let alone trees, but I see that the old man is lonely, but he can pity me and other passers-by, and I can't help but admire it, so I am a little polite, talk about the heart, and ask the old man not to refuse!" Chinese Net

When Zao Yu heard this, she became more and more puzzled.

She took a few steps forward and approached the courtyard gate, looked at Wei Yingdian carefully for a moment, and was sure that she didn't know this person, so she slowly shook her head and said, "You guest is so strange, a few dates are not worth anything, but you want to send me so much money for no reason, the old woman can't accept it!"

The two of them wanted to give life or death, and the other insisted on not reluctant, and after a stalemate for a long time, Wei Yingdian suddenly walked into the hospital, put all the money in his hand on the incense case, and then bent down and bowed down in front of the incense burner and bowed three times.

Seeing this, Zaoyu's face suddenly changed, and she hesitated and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you?"

At this moment, a sweet and soft voice suddenly said outside the courtyard wall against the lake embankment, "Granny Zao, I'm here to beat dates again!"

Before the words fell, and before the jujube girl could agree, a long wet bamboo pole rose above the courtyard wall and gently hit the branch of the jujube tree that stretched out to the outside of the courtyard wall.

As soon as the pole fell, the largest and reddest dozen dates fell off the branch of the jujube tree, and then some fell into the water, and some fell on the wooden plank.

When everyone looked up at the swaying branches of the jujube tree, Qi Jingzhi turned his head with Huo Ran, his eyes were bright, as if he had penetrated the courtyard wall.

He quietly exited the courtyard gate, and walked along the outside of the courtyard wall to the lake embankment, only to turn the corner, and saw a small boat without a canopy floating under the jujube branches by the lake.

On the boat, there was a young woman with a beautiful face, holding a pole to beat dates.

This woman's clothes are very thin, and they can't even be called clothes, just a few big green leaves around the body, and it is inevitable that spring will be shining when raising the rod to beat dates, and the white flowers are dazzling.

When she saw Qi Jingzhi, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she didn't control the strength in her hands, and when she went down with a rod, the dates fell like rain when she landed on the top of her head, and she kept jumping to dodge, and the big green leaves on her body were either deformed and displaced, or they simply fell down.

"Oh, the new clothes I made today!" The woman's already sweet and soft voice is a little more delicate and soft.

Her side

With a pity on his clothes, he twisted his waist generously and swayed across, showing his figure to Qi Jingzhi.

Qi Jingzhi's eyes and ears were covered with a shallow layer of smoke, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and he teased, "Your new clothes are really not strong."

The young woman, who was already almost naked, smiled: "This little brother, doesn't he smell the lotus clothes and ribbons, and he comes and dies suddenly? If only the clothes were beautiful enough, but they were too sturdy to take off, wouldn't they?"

Qi Jingzhi's face was even more smiling, he heard and saw that the woman in front of him was just a phantom, and the one standing below was clearly a black-haired beast that was only half a human tall and wet all over his body, squeaking and scratching his head towards him.

He looked away and saw that in addition to the dozens of red dates that had just fallen, there were also many small emerald green fruits piled up on the boat, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are these on your boat?"

The woman took back the jujube rod and said with a smile: "This is Huling, the skin is thin and the meat is tender, sweet and juicy, do you want to come up and taste it?"

She twisted her delicate body, stretched out her white and tender slender arms, pointed to the large blue leaves on the lake in the distance, and spoke softly and softly: "Let's row there two of us, I will peel it with my own hands and feed it to my little brother!"

Qi Jingzhi shook his head, and asked curiously again: "I see that you don't have any blood on your body, it can be seen that you have never hurt anyone's life, obviously you are an otter beast, why do you like to lure Terran men to make peace with you so much?"

The woman's face changed greatly when she heard this, and her fear was overflowing.

She looked at Qi Jingzhi fixedly, then screamed, jumped straight into the lake, and disappeared almost in the blink of an eye.

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, he had never seen such a timid and naïve spirit, obviously he hadn't lured himself before, and he really didn't have any eyesight and defense.

He shook his head, turned around and walked back to the courtyard gate, and saw that the gate had been closed again, and Wei Yingdian's master and servant were standing outside the door waiting for him.

This trip to Zaoyu's house was completely different from what he thought when he came, and he never encountered the slightest danger.

"Tell the old man your guess?" Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but ask.

"It's just a guess, after all! Even if there is a reincarnation in this world, once the body dies, the front edge is completely abandoned!"

Wei Yingdian shook his head, with a complicated expression on his face: "People and ghosts, how can there ever be a husband and wife who have been a hundred years old?"

Qi Jingzhi nodded, remembering the boy who gave the dates last night, and immediately asked again: "Brother Wei, have you ever thought about it, this may be a game, whether it's illusion or ***, to deceive an honest person with a pure heart like you!"

Hearing this, Wei Yingdian was silent for a long time, and only after a long time did he spit out a sentence: "It's really illusory, who can say clearly?"
