Chapter 5 Fang Fu
Beiling Cliff, located in a remote place in Youzhou, is the only market within a radius of 100 miles.
It was already evening, and the drizzle was falling, and the North Ridge Cliff was shrouded in mist and moisture. The road surface gradually became muddy, and the figures of an old man and a young man on the mountain road in the distance were in a hurry.
"Master, it looks like it's going to rain heavily!"
Wang Qiu hugged the white banner that was taller than him, looked up at the sky, touched the wet raindrops on his face, and couldn't help frowning.
The White Lotus Daoist walked in front, mumbled, and said, "It's not far away, Fang Yuanwai's home is three miles east of the Beiling Cliff Market." Hurry up, hopefully before the rain falls, we can get there and maybe make it to dinner......"
Although he despised the master a little, as soon as he heard the dinner, Wang Qiu's stomach growled.
Since following the White Lotus Dao people, I haven't eaten anything good in Zilei Gorge. Not to mention, sometimes he really misses the braised pig's trotters in the North and South Wine Shops, and his daughter's red drunken shrimp......
After about half an hour, finally a house in front of me loomed in the rain.
This is Fangjiazhuang, where the Fangyuanwai Mansion is located, the earliest was the place where the family with the surname fled to this corner of peace, and later as the years passed, married and multiplied, there were many more people with foreign surnames, and there was the scale of this Fangjiazhuang.
However, the surname Fang is still the largest family here.
Walking on the bluestone pavement, there are few pedestrians on the street, and the remaining few vendors are also cleaning up their stalls in the rain.
Next to the tavern in front of him was a majestic mansion, Fang Mansion, but the door was tightly closed.
However, the people in the tavern peeked into Fang Mansion from time to time and whispered.
"These days, this Fang Mansion has been inviting a lot of monks and Taoists outside, and I don't know what happened?"
"I heard that since the second young sister of the Fang family came back, there has been a strange trouble in the house!"
"Second Miss Fang Family?" is that Miss Fang Qin who was captured by Guiluo Village?"
"Yes, yes! I heard that the Fang family spent a lot of money in order to redeem the second miss of the Fang family. ”
"I heard that the ghost Luo Zhai owner is extremely cruel, and he specializes in grabbing young girls to collect yin and supplement yang. But this guy also has a bit of a cleanliness fetish, that is, he only catches women with good looks, and he can't look down on ordinary women......"
"Hey, old Liu, be careful, your daughter is very smart, don't be targeted by the ghost Luo Zhai master......"
"Nonsense!"
"Haha, fortunately I gave birth to a son...... Why don't you go back and have another one with your daughter-in-law?"
"Go, go, what...... Home!"
Wang Qiu's ears were sharp, so he naturally heard the conversation of these people.
"Master, why don't I knock on the door?" asked Wang Qiu.
The White Lotus Daoist squinted at Fang Fu and nodded in agreement.
Wang Qiu swept up the steps in two steps, and was about to knock on the door when the door suddenly opened.
A figure was pushed out hard.
"Fuck you, fuck off, don't let me see you again......"
I saw a pair of domestic servants carrying a horse-faced old man dressed as a Taoist priest, and was thrown out of the mansion with a hexagram bag on his back.
The horse-faced old man got up and dusted off the ashes and scolded Fang Fu, disdainfully: "Ye is too lazy to serve......"
With that, the man picked up his belongings and prepared to leave.
However, when he had just walked past the White Lotus Daoist and Wang Qiu, the horse-faced old man stopped, turned his head to look at them, and muttered, "You two are also here to hunt ghosts?"
The White Lotus Daoist looked him up and down and ignored him.
"Hey, I said you don't go in, there's a dirty thing in there...... We're all asking for money, for the sake of our peers, I would like to remind you, so as not to be hurt by that thing, it's not worth it!"
The White Lotus Daoist was silent and walked straight onto the steps.
......Shh Another ...... sent to death
The horse-faced old man sneered and left humming a little tune.
Wang Qiu glanced at the back of the horse-faced old man, his brows frowned slightly, could it be that there is really something dirty in this?
"Stop! what are you two doing......"
The White Lotus Daoist looked indifferent, and walked towards the mansion with his head held high, but was stopped by the house slave.
One of the house slaves looked at the White Lotus Daoist with disdain, and said in a low voice: "Damn, there is another swagger...... How many charlatans have you found in just a few days......
Wang Qiu was a little embarrassed, turned his head to look at the master, gray hair, messy, the hairpin on the top of his head I don't know how many years it has been used......
The White Lotus Daoist was unmoved, and said lightly: "Go and inform your master, just say that the White Lotus Daoist from Zilei Gorge has arrived......"
"White Lotus Daoist, are you a White Lotus Daoist?"
When the two house slaves heard the name, they were stunned and looked at him with some suspicion.
Indeed, the White Lotus Dao people are well-known in Beiling Cliff, and they have also heard of it.
I heard that this Purple Thunder Gorge White Lotus Daoist has helped several families in Beiling Cliff to deal with some yin affairs, and it seems that he really has some ability......
"Hurry up and report it, don't be lazy, if it's really the White Lotus Dao Chief, the master knows that we are so hospitable, but you can't spare our ......"
The two lowered their heads and whispered, and then they became respectful: "Dao Chief, wait a minute, the little one will go and report immediately......"
Wang Qiu waited with his master for less than a moment, and a middle-aged old man in gorgeous clothes hurriedly walked out.
"Steward Liu, this man said he was ......"
"Oh, it's really a White Lotus Daoist, my lord is looking forward to the stars and the moon, but he can be regarded as looking forward to you...... Hurry up, there's a ...... in it."
The White Lotus Daoist looked profound at this moment, hummed lightly, put his hands behind his back, and staggered into the Fang Mansion.
Wang Qiu hurriedly followed.
Along the courtyard of Fangfu and through the corridor, the White Lotus Daoist and Wang Qiu were led to the lobby by Steward Liu.
"Dao Chief, take a short rest, and the master will come out immediately. ”
The White Lotus Taoist sat on the Taishi's chair, and the maid served tea.
Wang Qiu carried the back basket, grabbed the white flag and stood beside the white lotus Daoist, a pair of dark eyes dripping and turning, this Fang Mansion is really a big family, this mahogany carved furniture is really delicate, tsk, this pair of porcelain is not ordinary, it is worth a lot of money at a glance......
"Daoist, let someone put these things away for you......" Steward Liu looked at Wang Qiu and said with a smile.
"Okay...... Wang Qiu nodded vigorously, his arm was already sore.
The White Lotus Daoist glanced at Wang Qiu.
Wang Qiu complained bitterly: "Master, your old man is carrying his little hands behind his back all the way, humming songs, so many things are held by disciples...... You're not tired, I'm tired......"
"Come, put these things away for us first, but don't spoil them......" Wang Qiu sat on the chair with his buttocks, picked up the hot tea and took a sip. Let Steward Liu instruct his subordinates to put away the guys' affairs.
Not long after resting, a white-haired old man walked into the lobby excitedly.
"Oh, White Lotus Dao Chief, you're finally here!"
