70. Fang Xiang's
Willow tops on the moon.
Zhang Quan looked at the room full of four treasures, books, calligraphy and paintings, and sighed.
All the goods have been moved back, the house can't be fitted, and there are pen holders, pen washers, paperweights and other porcelain in the courtyard outside that are not afraid of moisture and rain.
Business is definitely going to be disrupted.
Zhang brought a bowl of tea, he took a sip and said: "In the past two years, there have been more and more studies, and business has become more and more difficult, I don't have many customers, now let the heavenly prison make a fuss, and when the scholars know that my store is haunted, they will not come to buy things." ”
Confucius Ziyun, Zi is silent, and the strange force is confused.
He had done the work of officiating funerals for people before he came out, and later Qi Jinggong wanted to reuse him, but the prime minister Yan Ying blocked him, saying: "The husband and the Confucian are funny and unruly......;
Just because he has done things related to ghosts and gods, he almost can't be an official.
So he recorded a sentence in "The Analects of Yongye": "The righteousness of serving the people, respecting ghosts and gods and staying away, can be said to be known." ”
Confucius taught his disciples to stay away from ghosts and gods, and that a gentleman should take the right path in his heart and take righteous thoughts as the master.
Therefore, before the Confucian disciples entered the world, they were very afraid of being involved with ghosts and gods.
Zhang said softly: "When you were working with that group of Tufuzi, you should have thought that there would be today, and the advantages of the underground ancestors would be so easy to take advantage of?"
Zhang Quan sighed and said, "I can't help it, madam, I want to refuse them, but the price they give is too low." Jun'er needs money again, and you know, I can't help it. ”
Their house is facing the street, and there are footsteps in the back street, and the sound of merchants selling is faintly coming in, and it is already night, but there are still people who are busy running around for survival.
In this way, Zhang Quan pointed to the back street and smiled bitterly: "Listen, the people of this world are panicking, not for a few taels of broken silver, but for a few taels of broken silver, which has damaged the morale of the world." I was originally a scholar, but in the end I was reduced to ......"
When he said this, he suddenly felt his wife squeeze his hand, so he subconsciously raised his head.
What I saw was the lady's frowning and frightened face.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Zhang Shi held his hand and said blankly: "Just now, just now, a shadow floated past the door. ”
Zhang Quan hurriedly looked out the door.
The door of the solid wood house is pasted with the new hemp paper this year, which is thin and tough, which can not be broken by rain or wind, and can be very transparent and cold proof.
The clear moonlight sprinkled down like water, shining on the ground through the hemp paper, like a thin layer of frost.
Nothing.
But I did see it, the shadow was strange, tall and burly, but it walked without a sound, fluttering past, and it seemed to have horns on its head. ”
Zhang Quan chuckled in his heart.
Because he came into contact with some Tufuzi and Faqiu Zhonglang generals, he had a lot of research on the tombs of the Yin House.
According to the record in "Zhou Li", there are demons in the world called Fang Liang, so as to interfere with the purity of the dead, and there are demons and evil spirits in the world called dragons, which are good for eating the liver and brain of the dead.
But there is also a kind of mythical beast called Fang Xiangshi, which has four golden-colored horns, is covered with bear skin, and wears red clothes and black pants, which can drive away Fang Liang and devour elephants.
There are powerful people who trapped Fang Xiang's clan in the tomb and let it guard the undead, but the trapped Fang Xiang's clan is not a divine beast without aura, but a tomb beast!
He was thinking with a gloomy face, and the environment gradually quieted down.
Then, the sound of what appeared to be an outer door being pushed open came to his ears.
Then, the sound of ethereal footsteps sounded in the quiet courtyard.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he suddenly thought of something: his house is facing the street, and now it is just now, how can it be so quiet?
And he remembered that he had heard the sound of merchants selling outside, why was it gone now?
Cheerless.
There was a dead silence.
I can't even hear the wind.
He turned his head to look left and right, and the dark room looked like a tomb, and the four treasures of the study room were placed around it......
It's like a funerary object!
This thought frightened him, and he quickly held the little bean on his chest.
He went to listen again, and the footsteps outside were gone.
Slowly, a shadow appeared on the hemp paper in the doorway.
Zhang hurriedly snuggled into her husband's arms, and her husband's body was shaking like chaff.
At this moment, Zhang Quan regretted it very much, he shouldn't have tried to take the goods from the Tufuzi cheaply!
The husband couldn't count on it, so Zhang plucked up the courage to ask, "Who's outside?"
The shadows swayed and there was no sound.
Zhang looked at her husband in fear, but found that her husband had already looked at her in fear.
She gritted her teeth and stood up, pulled the hairpin from her bun and quietly walked to the door.
A piece of hemp paper gradually wetted, and suddenly a small hole was broken, and a cool night breeze swished in.
Then, a black and white eyeball appeared behind the small hole.
Zhang's whole body was numb, and he gritted his teeth and waved his hand to stab the hairpin out of the small hole.
The hemp paper was torn open, and an exclamation came into his ears: "Oh yes!"
Zhang Quan heard this voice and said hesitantly: "Lin Dong?"
Zhang opened the door, and a young man dressed in short clothes squatted on the ground in panic, it was Lin Dong, a guy from his shop.
Seeing her open the door, Lin Dong shouted, "Sister-in-law, are you trying to poke me blind?"
Zhang Shi said angrily: "You still blame me first? Then what are you doing sneakily outside? Why don't you make a noise when you come in?"
Lin Dong shouted: "Why don't I make a sound? I shouted outside the door for a long time without moving, pushed open the door and came in and called several times, I don't believe you asked Aunt Tian next door, Aunt Tian heard my voice and came out to see this." ”
Zhang Quan hurriedly walked over and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Lin Dong looked left and right and hurriedly came in and pushed them into the house, and then said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, I listened to the adults of the Heavenly Prison to ask about the case during the day, in fact, there is one thing I didn't tell them, I will come to discuss with you." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Alas, you know, shopkeeper, my wife had a big seizure a few days ago, and I need money to buy medicine. Then someone came to buy the paperweight, and I sold him the high-end paperweight carved with the beast on it. But the next day someone came to buy the paperweight, and I found that the paperweight that I had sold yesterday had reappeared. ”
But I thought I was mistaken, and I sold it to this man. ”
"On the third day, alas, on the third day, I took a special look, and this paperweight actually appeared in our store again!"
Hearing this, Zhang Quan's face changed: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Lin Dong said embarrassedly: "The shopkeeper's forgiveness, I am really short of money, seeing that this paperweight will come back automatically, I secretly stayed, and someone came to buy the paperweight, so I sold it, wanting to make a few dollars to treat the old lady." ”
Zhang Quan said with a shudder: "Then do you know that in recent days, there have been frequent deaths of scholars in the county?"
Lin Dong was stunned: "I don't know." ”
Zhang Quan said angrily: "Where is that paperweight now?
Lin Dong said: "I don't dare to steal things from the store, I usually keep them in the store, and I moved to your house in the afternoon, which will be in the yard." ”
Zhang Quan almost burst into tears: "My ancestor, you want my life!
He stood up to walk out, and when he looked at it, a tall black shadow appeared on the hemp paper at the door!
Humanoid with antlers on its head......
Seeing this trace, Zhang Quan's scalp exploded all of a sudden, and he subconsciously shouted: "Ouch, mother, alas!"
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang, and the door was kicked open.
Xu Da shook his head: "The dog is thorough, and he doesn't close the door at night?"
Wang Qilin kicked him away and killed him, looked through the courtyard, and saw a humanoid beast at the door of the house about to push the inner door.
This strange beast has four big horns on its head, black clothes on its body, red pants on its legs, and the moonlight shines, and the big horns have a faint golden light, but its face and body are nothing.
Xie Toad, who followed up, said in a deep voice: "I really didn't guess wrong, the tomb robber stole the tomb beast!"
