Chapter 20: Blown into the sky
Zhao Zhengyi's family lives at the end of an alley in the south of the city, which is larger than the small courtyard where Zhou Qing lives, and in the front yard, there is also a large tree surrounded by an adult.
"Xiaodao Chief, please leave this matter to you, if you can solve the strange things in my family, after the matter is completed, Zhao will be grateful. Leading Zhou Qing to a guest room, Zhao Zhengyi spoke.
"It's okay, after a while after dark, Xiaodao will do his best. Zhou Qing replied briefly, and then took out the Yunyou Miscellaneous Book from the cloth bag on his side and looked at it.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhengyi brought a cup of tea and put it on the table next to Zhou Qing, and then turned around and left the room.
Not long after, the sky outside the house darkened, and when Zhou Qing put away his miscellaneous notes and walked out of the guest room, he happened to meet Zhao Zhengyi who came with an oil lamp.
After the two talked casually, Zhao Zhengyi went back to the house with the oil lamp, while Zhou Qing found a small wooden stool in the front yard and sat next to the big tree in the courtyard.
At the end of the month, the night outside the house is as dark as ink, and from time to time an insect chirps can be heard from the trees.
Zhou Qing sat quietly beside the big tree like this, and after a long time, a cool breeze came to his face, and at the same time, a figure with green glow appeared behind the courtyard gate.
The figure appeared to be a young man in his mid-twenties, dressed in a long robe, and was slowly walking towards the house.
"Stay. ”
After seeing the young man, Zhou Qing suddenly walked out from behind the big tree and opened his mouth to call softly.
When this shout came out, the young man's spirit body was shocked, and he suddenly floated back a few steps, and then retreated to the courtyard gate, with a little frightened on his face, obviously frightened by Zhou Qing who suddenly walked out from behind the tree.
"You, who are you, you? scared me to death. The young man who floated to the gate of the courtyard said this.
"Aren't you dead? Seeing the words and deeds of the young man, Zhou Qing secretly felt funny.
In the dark front yard, after a spirit looked at each other a few times, the young spirit moved and leaned against the courtyard door.
"The strange things that have happened in this family in recent days must have been done by you, if you have any grievances with this Zhao family, you might as well listen to me, if you can mediate, I will help you deal with it, if you are malicious, Xiaodao advises you to be kind. ”
After saying a straight word, Zhou Qing took a small wooden stool and approached the young man two steps, then sat down again, and said, "There is a cause and there must be an effect, I believe that your actions a few days ago were not malicious, please tell your story." ”
Seeing Zhou Qing sitting down and looking at him in a daze, the young man's expression, which was still a little frightened, calmed down, and he fluttered around Zhou Qing with his floating spirit body, and then explained his original reason.
This young man's name is Zhao Yincheng, and he is Zhao Zhengyi's uncle, who died more than 20 years ago.
As for him running to his nephew's house to do the scourge, it was all because when he died, Zhao's father made a wish to him.
The surname Zhao can be regarded as a big surname in Jinling City, a branch of the lineage, and it has been passed down to more than 60 generations now, so this surname Zhao is recorded in a genealogy.
Since Zhao Yincheng had no wife and no children when he died, the genealogy record for him should be that he died early as a young man.
There is a folk saying about the lonely and the dead, those who have no merit, no virtue and no heirs need to be reincarnated for a hundred years, so Zhao Zhengyi's father should have done something for him back then.
In the future, if he has two sons, he will pass on the genealogical record of one of them to his name, and if he has two sons and two grandchildren, he will pass one of the grandchildren to him.
Zhao Zhengyi's father had only one son, so the matter was shelved, but Zhao Zhengyi gave birth to two sons, but because of the long time, his father also forgot about it, and when he was dying, the grandson's record on the family tree was not divided into Zhao Yincheng's genealogy.
"I see. After listening to the whole story, Zhou Qing said, "You wait here for a while, I'll go and ask your nephew." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhou Qing walked into the house, and it didn't take long for the lights to turn on in the house, and after another moment, he walked out of the house with his hands behind his back.
"Brother Ling has not talked to your nephew about this, so he doesn't know, I have already explained your matter to him, and he should also undertake, after the dawn, I will go to your Zhao family's ancestral sacrifice incense to ask for genealogy, and one of his sons will be assigned to your genealogy. ”
After listening to Zhou Qing's words, Zhao Yincheng, who was floating at the courtyard gate, thanked him, and then disappeared out of the courtyard gate.
Zhou Qing left the Zhao family under the gratitude of Zhao Zhengyi and his wife, and that night, nothing strange happened to the Zhao family, and after two days in a row, there was still no strange thing happening, and the matter came to an end.
After the incident of the Zhao family, coupled with the stories of Zhao Zhengyi's wife and neighbors, Zhou Qing's reputation in the county town has become a little bigger, and it is rumored to be amazing.
It is said that he is a boy under the sign of immortals, and because he violated the rules of heaven, he was demoted to the mortal world to concentrate on cultivation.
It is also said that he is an immortal race, with an immortal inheritance on his body, and his cultivation is unfathomable.
What's even more bizarre is that it is said that he is the reincarnation of a god, hidden in the county town to meditate, and when the purple gas descends from the east one day, he will soar away and become an immortal.
All kinds of rumors are made up of gods, and they have been blown up to the sky in response to that common saying.
Zhou Qing himself did not know about such grotesque rumors, he rarely interacted with people, except for going to the street to buy some things, he stayed at home to retreat.
In the past, he would go to the teahouse every afternoon to listen to books, but after Li Lang's story was over, he didn't even go to the teahouse.
Gradually, something strange happened in this county, and no one went to look for Liu Banxian, but turned to the Bazi Alley to find Zhou Qing. Of course, a large part of the reason for this is because Zhou Qing never asks for remuneration, while Liu Banxian is unpaid.
......
In the east of the county seat, at Liu Banxian's house, he was sitting on a wooden chair and secretly sad.
At this moment, a young man in a rough shirt ran in panting, he walked up to Liu Banxian and said respectfully, "I have inquired clearly, master, the boy in Bazi Lane looks like he is eight or nine years old, I heard that he is ......."
"Okay, okay, you go out. "Regarding Zhou Qing's rumors, Liu Banxian has also inquired a lot in recent days, and the reason for this is because of the word 'money'.
Since Zhou Qing's reputation spread in the county, no one has come to ask Liu Banxian to take action, and no one has invited him to eliminate disasters.
He is different from Zhou Qing, he has four cooks and two servants in his family, and there are a lot of daily salaries, ingredients, and miscellaneous uses.
"How much ability can an eight- or nine-year-old boy have, he can't let him go on like this, he has to find a way to drive him out of Jinling County, otherwise, his future wealth will be ......."
Muttering to himself, Liu Banxian thought about how to drive away Zhou Qing, who had cut off his wealth, and only by driving him away could he continue to have a steady stream of money as before.
