In the courtyard, I meditated for more than an hour facing the morning sun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The fatigue of the day is gone, and the person has become energetic, worthy of a good night's sleep.

Although Renshan Dao is negligent in cultivation, it is also a good thing to meditate and sleep on weekdays, at least it can save a lot of time, and there is no need to waste ordinary time on the couch for twelve hours a day.

"Young master, when did you come back last night, why didn't you go into the house to sleep, and meditate in the gazebo again. ”

A crisp, pleasant voice with a hint of resentment rings out, only to see Fluttershy walking over with a basin of water and toiletries.

Li Xiuyuan opened his eyes and said, "I came back late yesterday, so I won't go to the house to disturb you to sleep, and there may be something to do today, I need to meditate and refresh my spirit." ”

"But the young master hasn't been in the room to sleep for several days, is it because the slave maid and Sister Chunhua have done something wrong that makes the young master unhappy?" asked Fluttershy faintly.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "What are you thinking in your head, how can you make me angry, one by one you serve me very well, I have a lot of peace of mind with you by my side, but I do have something to do these days, don't think about it, stay at home, if you feel bored, go out with Chunhua, and the exam is about to start again, I have to deal with these trivial matters as soon as possible to prepare for the exam." ”

"Yes, the slave knows. Fluttershy says.

Li Xiuyuan saw her resentful look, and couldn't help but smile again: "What, I'm in a hurry?" Is it to blame that I haven't touched you during this time, you maid is just a little thoughtful, and you have already entered the door of my Li family, why rush for a while." ”

Fluttershy's delicate little face suddenly turned red: "Since the young master understands the slave's thoughts, why should the slave wait, isn't it natural for the slave and the maid to serve the young master?"

"Wait, your body is too weak to give birth now, otherwise it will be terrible if you get pregnant and have a difficult birth. Li Xiuyuan looked at Fluttershy's petite figure and shook his head.

Fluttershy just asks a side-by-side question, but she doesn't expect the eldest young master to mention the pregnancy and childbirth herself, which makes her suddenly shy, and she lowers her head and doesn't dare to look at her young master anymore.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and didn't say much, just washed up under Fluttershy's service.

"By the way, where did Chunhua go, why didn't you see her?"

"Sister Chunhua went to make porridge for the young master. Fluttershy says.

Li Xiuyuan nodded: "When it's okay, you can also teach Chunhua to read and read, although it's a little late to learn now, but there will always be one in the future." ”

"Yes, young master. Fluttershy answers.

After some small talk, Li Xiuyuan ate breakfast and went into the study to get busy.

Grinding ink, twisting the pen.

Li Xiuyuan dripped a few drops of blood in the ink before he began to dye the ink and write.

"Young master, don't you practice calligraphy and write articles on weekdays, how did you write a sacrifice to the gods today. Fluttershy, who was waiting, asked curiously.

"Because some places are haunted, I have to ask God to catch them. Li Xiuyuan said.

"Young master, why is it haunted?" said Du Chunhua, who was sewing clothes for her young master.

Li Xiuyuan said: "There is a mound not far from the city, which is haunted, and passers-by are often confused, and it is not very peaceful, so I will invite the gods to calm the ghosts in that place, so that they will not continue to plague the people." ”

"Is there a mandrill here?" Du Chunhua said with some trepidation.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile, "It's much more powerful than the mandrill, the mandrill only kidnaps you, a pretty widow, but the ghosts there want to eat people." ”

"What a pretty widow, the young master loves to talk nonsense. Du Chunhua's white face flushed, and she couldn't help but think of the past.

There are happy and unhappy, but when you are with the young master, you are always happy.

"It's done. Soon, the pen and ink in Li Xiuyuan's hand and a piece of the sacrifice to the gods have been written.

Or please Lei Gong's sacrificial text.

This Lei Gong invited him once, and the relationship is familiar, and I believe that it is easy to talk if he is invited again.

"But then again, last time I invited the god of thunder, I left the money in Dahu Village, let the villagers help build the temple, and burn incense every year in the future, and worship incense as a reward, what will I get in return for inviting Lei Gong this time?" Li Xiuyuan frowned again.

After all, you can't ask someone to help you at all.

"Forget it, don't think about it, let's settle the matter first. He shook his head, blew the ink dry, and then put the piece away as a sacrifice.

Don't write too much, one article is enough.

If you can successfully invite Lei Gong, you don't need the second article.

"Is the eldest young master in the house?" At this time, Lu Bo's voice sounded outside the study.

"Uncle Lu, what's the matter?" Li Xiuyuan walked out of the study.

Lu Bo saw Li Xiuyuan hand over an invitation in his hand: "Young Master, there is a person who claims to be the prince of Chu Tian of the Chu family who has sent an invitation. ”

"I'll see. Li Xiuyuan opened it and looked at it, and immediately stared.

It is very simple, that is, invite yourself to go out of the city tomorrow to hunt and play, and hope that you must go to the appointment and so on.

"It's finally here. Li Xiuyuan closed the invitation, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said: "Trouble Uncle Lu, you go and call my two guards over, I have something to tell them." ”

"Yes, young master. Lu Bo answered and left.

Fluttershy walked over again at this time, "Young master, can I take my slave with me when I go out of the city tomorrow?" ”

Li Xiuyuan put away his coldness and said with a smile, "This is not to play, but to hunt, what are you doing with a little maid who is dancing with a knife and a gun, and obediently stay in the house." ”

Where do you go hunting, but you go to kill.

Fluttershy pouts slightly, looking at her young master.

"Alright, don't look like a resentful woman, it's still early today, and after I have ordered the guards to do something, you will go out with me and walk around the city with me. Li Xiuyuan said.

"Thank you, young master. Fluttershy is elated again.

Li Xiuyuan looked at it and shook his head, this Fluttershy is still a girl after all, and there is no restraint when she comes to the house, and after discipline, this girl's nature is exuded.

But that's good.

The word rules has changed how many people.

Soon, the two guards arrived, and after Li Xiuyuan instructed them a few things, he took Fluttershy and Du Chunhua out the door.

took the two of them to walk around the city, usually had some ancient good things, and then went to the City God Temple at dusk in the afternoon.

Li Xiuyuan told Fluttershy and Du Chunhua to wait outside, not to run around, and went to the temple alone.

When he just walked to the temple, a middle-aged man dressed in an official palace was already waiting here.

"I don't know what happened to Gongzi Li to come to my small temple?" Chenghuang smiled and saluted, and went out to greet him.

"After a tour of the city, there is something I want to ask about the city god when I pass by here. ”

Li Xiuyuan also returned the salute, but his expression was not so polite, but a little indifferent.

"I don't dare to take the word advice, if Li Gongzi has any doubts, I can still try my best to solve Li Gongzi's doubts. Chenghuang said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Can the city god know about the Chu Clan's cemetery and the ghost market outside the city?"

"Naturally clear. Chenghuang muttered.

"Why are there so many ghosts and monsters gathering within the jurisdiction of the City God, causing trouble?" Li Xiuyuan asked in a deep voice.

Chenghuang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Gongzi Li doesn't know, this Chu family is a local hero, if I do something to the Chu family's cemetery, I'm afraid that the Chenghuang Temple will be demolished the next day, and I will be helpless." ”

Li Xiuyuan said, "There used to be a thousand-year-old spirit who became an immortal and said to me, if God wants you to die, you will naturally die, if God does not let you die, even if you may die, you will survive in the end, I don't know what Chenghuang thinks?"

"This, this ....." Chenghuang understood what Li Xiuyuan was going to say, and suddenly looked embarrassed.

"If the city god was demolished and the incense was cut off just because he performed his duty to arrest the evil ghosts and monsters in the Chu family's cemetery, it means that the city god's good fortune is nothing more than that, on the contrary, even if the city god does this, if the good fortune is profound, I think the city god will be fine with your temple. ”

"What Li Gongzi said is very true, I have been taught. Chenghuang gave a salute.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "You don't understand what I said, you see, your incense is prosperous, and there are countless worships, Chenghuang, do you think that these people came to ask God to worship Buddha for no reason, and gave you incense for nothing? No, the people don't worship you for no reason, the people worship you because they want to seek your refuge and avoid the harm of ghosts. Seeking peace and health, now that the ghosts and monsters are raging outside the city, do you think you can close your eyes like this as if you didn't see it?"

"If you have a heart, I hope that you will send a ghost messenger tonight, and the Yin soldiers will go to the Chu Cemetery to catch those unjust ghosts and send them to the underworld, so that they will not continue to make trouble. ”

That's all he said, and he took his leave. ”

After saying that, he didn't stop, turned around and strode away.

Chenghuang saw Li Xiuyuan striding away, and did not go out to see him off, but just watched him leave with uncertain eyes.

"Is this human saint forcing me to stand in line when he says this?" he thought to himself: "But why should I get involved in the grievances between them, it is not easy to offend either party, so I just don't do anything, and I will continue to sit on my position as a city god as usual." ”

"Fluttershy, Springflower, let's go, it's time for us to go back. Li Xiuyuan greeted and left the City God Temple with two personal maids.

At the end, he glanced back at the City God Temple, with a bit of thought in his eyes: "There is a lot of embarrassment and perfunctory on the face of the City God, presumably he will not send ghosts to the Yin soldiers to go to the Chu Clan Cemetery." ”

But to be honest, he didn't quite expect this Chenghuang to help.

Is this his intention to determine this city god.
