Volume I, Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-One. The withering trees scared the young master of Qian Shang to visit the Qianmen Mansion again
Qian didn't have to go home, recalled what had just happened, and said that it was just a dream he had, so he didn't pay attention to it. It's noon now, and Qian has to shout that he wants to eat. The people began to prepare, and Qian Bu saw that there was a big tree in the courtyard, lush and lush, and under the dense green shade, under the tree was a cool and shady place. Qian Bufei said to the people on a whim: "I'll set up a table under the tree in a while, and I'm going to eat under the tree today!" Then he went back to his backyard and found two gorgeous concubines to play. After a while, a family member shouted, "Master, the meal has been prepared." ”
Qian Feifei was also a little hungry, so he said to the two concubines beside him: "Go!" Accompany my grandfather to have two drinks. With the two concubines, he walked to the dining table under the shade of the tree, and raised wine, and the beautiful woman fed. After a few more glasses of wine, Qian Bufei said: "Today, master, I had a dream!" ”
A concubine asked, "What kind of dream?" Official,"
"A white-bearded old man said, sir, I was a cash cow in my previous life!" Qian Bufei said proudly.
"That's too right, our Xinyang realm, who doesn't know that you are the richest person!" The concubine said flatteringly.
"However, what else does the old man say, master, I was reincarnated with a gold leaf in my previous life, so I was rich and noble, and now that this gold leaf is gone, I will be unlucky soon." Qian Bufei said.
A concubine said, "How is that possible? Official, our family's family business, I don't know how many gold leaves can be exchanged! How could it be gone! ”
Another concubine said: "Yes, as the saying goes, there are thoughts in the day, and dreams in the night." Official, I guess you've been too busy lately and thinking too much. What the old man said must not be believed. ”
This person can't listen to others say that he is not good, especially when divination and fortune telling, when others say hello, you will immediately take it seriously; When others say that you are not good, they say that they are a person who deceives the world and steals fame. Qian Feifei is the same, listening to the two concubines around him, he shook his spirits and said: "Fuck the white-bearded old man, is Lao Tzu's luck still what he said!" Also let Lao Tzu give you what sake to toast. Bah! Then, he casually poured the wine in the glass on the ground and said, "Don't you want to drink?" Go and lick it yourself! Ha ha! ”
The two concubines applauded beside Qian Bufei, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and a few leaves fell from the big tree overhead, although it was not autumn, but it was normal to have occasional leaves, Qian Bufei and the two concubines didn't care at first. A concubine dusted off the fallen leaves with a very good eye and continued to eat the delicacies on the dinner table. But after a while, the fallen leaves on the trees fell more and more violently, like heavy rain, and all of them fell, and they fell to the waists of the three of them. Seeing this, Qian Bufei hurriedly got up and walked to the side with the two concubines, and after a while, the falling leaves buried the dining table. And the big tree that used to be full of branches and foliage is now only a bare dead tree, which is very pitiful.
Qian Bufei looked at this big tree without leaves, the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously, and he understood that this was not a good sign, and then he remembered the white-bearded old man, and quickly knelt down in front of the big tree with only stump branches, kowtowed and said, "It's the villain who is ignorant!" Don't be surprised! When the two concubines saw this scene, they also quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. Then he hurriedly beckoned a few subordinates, and hurriedly invited a few famous cultivators to come to his home to do a ritual, and continued to worship the dead tree.
The subordinates were also quick in their movements, and immediately found two Taoists holding dusters and brought them to Qian Bufei. One of them asked, "Hello this official, the two of us are wanderers, and we happen to be passing by here." Just now, the people under your door grabbed the two of us and said, Master, you want to do a ritual? ”
Qian Bufei thought of the scene of the lush tree and all the leaves scattering, and he still had some palpitations, so he slowly informed the two Taoist priests of his dream and what happened in the courtyard just now.
"Yikes! How can you do such a thing! After hearing this, a Taoist priest said in a panic.
"Yes, the trees have fallen into stump branches, this is a great omen!" Another Taoist priest said with a frown.
"Isn't that nothing? If the poor Dao guess is right, the white-haired old man you meet in your dream should be the Taoist Ancestor Taishang Laojun. He went down to help you solve your doubts, and if you are not sincerely grateful, he will insult lightly, but I am afraid that in a few days, all the green plants in your entire house will wither, and you will be unlucky in the future, and even lose your life! The Taoist priest said eloquently.
"What then? Please help me! Qian Bu begged the two of them.
"I'm sorry, since we are the power of the Dao Ancestor, we are still shallow, so I really don't dare to participate in this matter. You and I have never visited. Leave. With that, the two of them got up and left.
Qian Bufei hurriedly pulled the sleeve of one of them, knelt on the ground and begged: "Two Dao Chiefs, you can't see death without help!" ”
Begging for money in front of him, a Taoist priest sighed: "Alas, there is no way, but whether it works or not, it depends on your own creation." ”
Qian Bufei seemed to see hope and said, "Dao Chief, please speak." ”
The Taoist priest said: "Since the Taoist ancestor said that the golden leaf is where your luck lies, then you need to find the golden leaf, and then burn incense and pray, and fast for three days. If not, then I can't do anything. ”
Qian Bufei heard it and said, "Thank you, thank you." Why don't you hurry up and prepare a hundred taels of silver to send the Taoist chief out of the house! Qian Bufei said to his subordinates.
The two Taoist priests sighed lightly, excused themselves and refused, and said, "Money is something outside the body, and we don't need it." Besides, your luck is coming, and the money you give me is only afraid that it will become a burden to the cultivation of the two of us, so you can do it yourself. Then the two walked out of the Qian Mansion.
Qian Bufei sat on the ground and shouted to the people: "Hurry up! Buy me all the gold leaves in the neighborhood! ”
After the people of the Qian Mansion bought all the gold leaves nearby, it was already late at night, but two more trees in the Qian Mansion withered and died, and Qian Bufei was very annoyed at this time, regretting why he spilled that cup of wine! With a heavy heart, he returned to his room, and after a busy afternoon, but without results, he fell asleep groggyly. At this moment, a figure sneaked into the Qian Mansion, it was Li Yu.
In fact, Li Yu had already come to the vicinity of the Qian Mansion, but he didn't know what was going on in the Qian Mansion, people came and went, in and out, so that Li Yu had no chance to sneak in, and in the dead of night, the Qian Mansion seemed to have stopped a lot, so he sneaked in. But where to find Lady Goldleaf? Li Yu knew that there were still some people in the Qian Mansion, so he didn't dare to walk around. Suddenly, seeing a person who seemed to be holding something in his hand, looking around, sneaky, Li Yu secretly followed him, planning to find a place with few people to put some words out of his mouth. The man sneaked to the door of a silent and desolate courtyard, and just as he was about to unlock the door and enter the courtyard, Li Yu suddenly stood behind him and put a dagger against his waist.
When someone put a dagger against his waist, the man immediately said in a panic: "I didn't steal it, I didn't steal it!" Don't kill me! ”
Li Yu said: "Shut up! If you don't want to die, answer my questions honestly. ”
When the man heard this, he didn't seem to be here to arrest him, and said, "Whatever you want to ask, as long as I know, I'll tell you!" ”
Li Yu asked, "Is there a Golden Leaf Lady in this Qian Mansion?" ”
As soon as the man heard Mrs. Jin Ye, his originally cowardly tone became tougher, and he said, "I don't know! ”
Li Yu asked, "Do you really don't know or fake don't know?" ”
The man still said stiffly, "If it is something else that I know, I will say it." If it's Mrs. Golden Leaf, there's no comment! ”
Li Yu pressed the dagger closer to the man and asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”
The man laughed, "It's death." I don't know about Lady Gold Leaf either! ”
Li Yu knew that this person must know Madame Jin Ye, but he didn't want to betray her. Then he grabbed his hand and twisted it hard, snatching the things from his hand, Li Yu asked, "What are these things?" ”
The man tried hard to get rid of Li Yu, and said, "You can't control it!" ”
Li Yu looked at it carefully, it was a few golden leaves, and said with a smile: "I said that you are not even afraid of death, why don't you call people?" It turns out that you are also a thief. ”
The man said angrily: "You are the thief, I am the subordinate of this house!" ”
"I'm not interested in these gold leaves, you just need to tell me where Mrs. Jin Ye is, and I'll let you go." Li Yu said.
The man said, "I said, I don't know." ”
Li Yu threatened: "Then you say, what will happen if I throw you and these gold leaves into the front hall of the Qian Mansion now?" ”
When the man heard this, he was also frightened, and said, "Don't, don't! ”
Li Yu said impatiently: "Then tell me where Mrs. Jinye is!" ”
The man looked like he was about to cry and asked, "What are you looking for Lady Jinye for?" ”
Li Yu said: "I want to save her." ”
The man: "Who are you?" Why save her? ”
Li Yu said: "I was sent by her aunt, Mrs. Xiong, to save her. After what happened just now, Li Yu was already sure that this person definitely knew Mrs. Jin Ye, and he was very familiar with it.
The man said, "Then you said it earlier! I'm here to save her, too! ”
Li Yu asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Then you let me go first, don't worry, I'm not a bad person, and I don't know martial arts, I can't beat you." The man said.
Li Yu let go of his hand suspiciously, and the man rubbed his hands and said, "You said that you were sent by Mrs. Xiong, but what evidence is there?" ”
Li Yu showed the comb given by Mrs. Xiong to the man, and after the man carefully examined the comb, he said: "This is indeed this, this is indeed the comb that Jin Ye gave to her aunt, at the beginning, I chose it with her." The man's words were tinged with melancholy.
Li Yu said: "Now you can take me to see Mrs. Jin Ye." ”
"Good, good! I'll take you there now. So saying, the man secretly opened the iron gate of the desolate courtyard.
