Chapter 289: Consumption
As the night deepened, there was only a lone moon above the dark blue sky, and occasionally one or two black clouds floated, obscuring most of the light, making it dark and dreary below.
In the darkness, at the entrance of the village, the girl in red was still standing there, holding a white lantern in her hand, staring into the distance with affection, as if waiting for her long-returning lover.
Occasionally, the wind rose, blowing the rustling of leaves, rolling the residual leaves and falling, lifting the woman's hair hanging down in front of her forehead, revealing a pair of watery eyes, and the corners of the eyes seemed to have a touch of crystal falling, and soon disappeared into the wind.
Ah Lu came back to his senses from meditation, turned his head to look out the window, the wind blew the screen window thumping, and gradually became bigger, as if a beast was suppressing its roar, reaching out to open the window, and the wind poured in, whimpering and whimpering like a woman crying.
Ah Sheng fell asleep in the bed, Leng Buding was blown by the wind, panicked, and said in a daze: "Haunted, haunted, come and bring my gun!"
Ah Sheng slapped her on the head, Ah Sheng groaned in pain, hugged his head in pain and muttered for a while, then raised his head, and was already a lot more sober.
Ah Sheng looked at the demon wind outside, and smacked his tongue: "What's the matter?"
Ah Lu looked into the distance, and the darkness was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly, pinched his chin and thought: "It should be that the female ghost at the entrance of the village noticed something and began to resent......"
Ah Sheng rubbed his eyes: "Does the senior uncle plan to solve the problem here by the way?"
Ah Lu nodded: "I just pinched my fingers and calculated, after this matter, I may be able to let Hong Tuo see some things clearly, so I still have to take care of it, but I don't interfere with their lives." ”
Ah Sheng stretched out his hand to rub his head again, stretched out his hand to pinch indiscriminately, and suddenly sat up straight, with a straight expression: "Is this mortal master to save or not?"
Ah Lu's expression was a little cold: "I really don't bother to save such a stupid mortal who can't figure out things, but I have to stretch out my hand, whether he can live or not depends on his own life!"
On the second day, on a sunny day, Hong Tuo got up early in the morning and talked with Di Gua in the lobby with the little second brother, and when Ah Lu and Ah Sheng walked out slowly, the two people who should inquire had already inquired.
Hong Tuo saw them go downstairs and asked the little second brother to bring out the prepared breakfast, the little second brother obviously got a lot of benefits from Hong Tea, so he went to the back kitchen happily, and after a while, he brought out delicious porridge and rice snacks.
Early in the morning, there was no one to eat in the inn, the whole lobby was empty, except for the four of them, only Xiao Er and the old man behind the counter, the four of them sat down casually, the little two also had a lot of eyesight, and ran to chat with the old man, so Hong Tuo confirmed that the old man was not the shopkeeper of the inn, it was estimated that he was just a bookkeeper.
When Ah Sheng saw the food on that table, his eyes lit up, and he lifted the chopsticks and stuffed a milky spring roll into his mouth, while Ah Lu drank the meat porridge first, and when he saw the two of them moving the chopsticks, Di Gua also ate the porridge, swallowed the porridge, and said softly: "The girl at the entrance of the village really has a problem!"
Ah Lu put down the spoon, stopped moving the chopsticks, and asked Di Gua, "But what did you hear?"
Hong teased her, didn't speak, lowered his head and tasted the meat porridge, there was nothing wrong with the taste, he didn't interject, he just ate with his head bored, and at the same time he heard Di Gu say: " The girl's surname is Zhu Mingdan, her parents are in a small business, although they are not much rich, but they are also solid, because she is a daughter in the family, her parents have loved her very much since she was a child, and this kind of rural village, for the daughter's family is not as restrained as the family, this Adan girl once met a passing teenager two years ago, the two fell in love, and then the latter left, Adan girl often waited for him to come back at the entrance of the village, and it was also a fool......
Ah Lu pushed away the porridge bowl in front of him and yawned: "So it seems that the crux of this problem is in that man, fortunately, it is only the soul that has left the body, if it is dealt with well, it can still be saved." ”
"Listen to what the Green Maiden means, are you going to take care of this matter?"
Ah Lu seemed to be smiling, and his eyes fell on Hong Tea, Hong Tuo couldn't help frowning, and asked her, "What are you looking at me?"
Ah Lu said: "This matter is naturally handed over to you, and this book is also part of the practice. ”
Hong teased: "But I don't have any experience in this area, if I don't handle it properly, will it cost people if something goes wrong?"
Ah Lu said: "Naturally, I won't completely ignore you, if you don't understand, you can still ask Di Gua, but he won't make a move, if something really goes wrong, just rest assured, I have my own way to remedy it." ”
Hong thought for a while, and then asked, "Is there a time limit?"
Ah Lu smiled: "Yes, how about three days? Count today! You can take this opportunity to let Di Gua teach you some divination." ”
Hong teased and looked at Di Gua, who stroked his beard and said that it was feasible.
Seeing that they agreed, Ah Lu didn't say more, got up and was about to go upstairs, Hong teased and opened his mouth, but did not make a sound, Di Gu had to speak for him.
"I don't know how to arrange the Green Girl and the Sheng Girl in the past three days?"
Ah Lu stretched his waist, seemed to be a little tired, and his voice was a little weak, and said lazily: "I have gained something from meditation recently, so I take this opportunity to participate in enlightenment." ”
After speaking, Ah Lu turned around and went upstairs, Hong Tuo looked at her back, a little worry appeared in his eyes, and Di Gua, who put it in his eyes, sighed in his heart, and his eyes fell on Ah Sheng, who was still eating and drinking.
"The Green Maiden seems to be a little tired, I'm afraid it's not just for meditation, right?"
Ah Sheng was biting on the mushroom tofu buns, with a look of enjoyment, listening to their questions coldly, he swallowed it hurriedly, and said after a long while: "It should be that it took some spiritual power to fuse the baby spirit with the stillborn baby in Taoyao's womb, if Shi Boken rests well, it will not be difficult to recover......
Her answer was very vague, Hong Teaser thought that when he subdued the infant spirit, Ah Lu was forced to recover by the other two clansmen due to excessive spiritual power consumption, and judging from the expressions of those two, excessive spiritual power consumption was obviously a very serious matter for them.
"What if you don't?"
Ah Sheng's expression suddenly became very serious: "Uncle Shi knows in his heart, this situation should not happen, and I will not let it happen!"
Hong Tu didn't ask any more questions, and Di Gu only knew that cultivators would be weak for a period of time if their spiritual power was consumed excessively, but Ah Lu and Ah Sheng were not ordinary cultivators, so only Ah Sheng understood that their body was just a bean, and they also generated spiritual qi, and if their spiritual power was exhausted, it would be like grass and trees withering.
After saying these words, Ah Sheng didn't have the heart to eat, wiped his mouth casually and said that he was full, then got up and ran upstairs.
The rest of Hong Gu and Di Gu looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, Di Gu coughed dryly twice and asked: "If there is anything that the apprentice doesn't understand, you can ask the next teacher, and the teacher must know everything and say everything." ”
