Chapter 202: Eating Incense Candles
After Sun Xu's movement of begging for rain, although the officials knew that he was just a scholar who had just passed the township test, they didn't dare to underestimate Sun Xu at all, and listened to Sun Xu's reprimand, so they all bowed their heads silently.
Geng Jiantong's face was full of shame, and he arched his hand at Sun Xu and said: "Childe's teachings, we will remember them in our hearts. It's just that it's muddy, not a place to talk. Please also ask the son to go to the official residence with me, and I will pay the son for his great work!"
Sun Xu naturally knew that they wanted to befriend themselves, and if they could ask for help when there was a drought in the future, he couldn't help waving his hand and said: "I have a great achievement, it's just a gesture, and I can't thank you." If you wait for you to do things with public intentions, the wind and rain will be smooth in the future, where can you flatter me?" After speaking, he ignored the officials and turned around and left.
Seeing this, the officials hurriedly slammed to the ground and sent Sun Xu away.
At this time, Lin Ping, who handed over a few children to the soldiers, also turned back, and when he heard that Sun Xu was gone, he quickly grabbed a horse and chased after him.
Although he is a civilian, his ancestors have been generals for generations, and his kung fu is no worse than that of a military general who gallops across the field.
After a while, Lin Ping saw Sun Xu's figure. It's just that Sun Xu is walking lightly, and the speed doesn't seem to be fast, but no matter how he accelerates, he can't catch up.
In desperation, he had no choice but to shout loudly on the horse: "Sun Gongzi, Sun Gongzi, stay!"
Sun Xu originally wanted to get out of the city quickly, and then use the technique of Tengyun to turn Jinhua, not wanting someone behind him to call him, but when he looked back, it turned out to be Lin Ping.
As soon as Sun Xu stopped, Lin Ping quickly caught up.
Seeing Lin Ping turn over and dismount, Sun Xu arched his hand and said, "I don't know what Lin Xuezheng called me?"
"Engong sent me back the heirlooms, and I haven't thanked him yet, why do I have to leave?" Lin Ping said.
"It's a trivial matter, why say thank you?" Sun Xu said lightly. However, he looked at Lin Ping's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and knew that he had something else to ask for, so he asked, "I see that you are restless, do you have anything else to ask me to help with?"
Lin Ping hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "What Engong said is good, something unthinkable to ordinary people has happened in my family in the past two days. I'm thinking about whether to find someone to do a ritual to exorcise evil spirits, and I don't want to meet Engong today, so I want to ask Engong to help me. ”
Sun Xu smiled slightly and said, "In that case, then you can take me there." ”
Lin Ping hurriedly gave the horse to Sun Xu, and he led the horse towards his mansion.
Seeing that the old man who had never returned home at this time actually led the horse back, there was a young man sitting immediately, and they all hurriedly came over to take the bridle, led the horse to the vicinity of the Shangma Stone, and asked Sun Xu to dismount.
Lin Ping waited for Sun Xu to land, and hurriedly bowed down to invite Sun Xu into the mansion.
When the two family members who had followed Lin Ping for a long time saw each other, they couldn't help but be even more puzzled, and whispered:
"Eh, who is this young man, how can he be so courteous to the master?"
"I haven't seen it either, could it be that the master invited the mage? In the past two days, there has been a lot of upheaval in the house, didn't the master say that he would do a Dharma ceremony?"
"Ouch, don't say it's funny, how old is this young man, what kind of ability does he have? I think it should be the son of an official eunuch, and the lord respects his identity. ”
The words of the two families naturally fell into Sun Xu's ears, and combined with what Lin Ping said, he felt the breath in the mansion again, but found that there was no trace of demonic aura here.
Sun Xu thought about it while being led into the mansion by Lin Ping.
At that moment, a woman ran out of the room, climbed up to the roof with her hands and feet, and then sat on the corrugated and laughed. There was not the slightest hint of a woman's voice in that voice, it was a man.
After the woman came out, a group of maids and old mothers also followed noisily, and when they saw their master greeting a young man very respectfully, they thought that the heir of a high-ranking official had come to play here, and they didn't bother to say goodbye, so they all ran to the eaves in a hurry and looked at the woman.
Seeing this, Lin Ping was also a little flustered for a while, left Sun Xu, and hurriedly walked up with many maids and raised his neck to comfort him, but the woman just didn't come down.
Sun Xu also stepped forward at this time and asked Lin Ping, "This is your wife?"
Lin Ping nodded, looked at the woman on the roof anxiously, and asked, "Engong, do you know what's going on?"
"She's got up. Sun Xu just swept his eyes and already knew the reason.
Lin Ping had never encountered this kind of thing, and he immediately panicked: "How is this good?
Sun Xu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't panic, look at me!" After speaking, he secretly used his mana and shouted at the woman: "Come down!"
When those subordinates saw that Sun Xu actually let the woman come down by herself, they couldn't help but laugh. If it is so simple to get his wife down, what is the use of these people?
However, after listening to Sun Xu's words, the woman really came down obediently.
"Who the hell are you, why are you disturbing the peace of my mansion? Why don't you come out quickly!" Lin Ping stepped forward and glared at the woman angrily.
The woman didn't have any panic, first looked at Sun Xu hesitantly, and then said faintly: "Who do you ask me? I only knew that I had lived in Zuo Yongyan's house for a period of time when I was young. Later, Zuo Yongyan died, and I was exiled in the rivers and lakes. I don't know how many years have passed, and I have moved from the north to the south, and it has been more than 70 years since then. To put it mildly, it is the old man of your house, I still watched him be born and watched him grow up!"
When the Lin family heard this, they were terrified. They all know that the previous owner of this house was surnamed Shen, and he had been a big official in the court, known as Shen Xianggong.
Lin Ping knew more than the people below, and he was even more shocked when he heard Zuo Yongyan in this person's mouth. That Zuo Yongyan was a person before the Wu Dynasty, who was martyred in the line of duty, and he was famous.
Sun Xu saw that Lin Ping was stunned for a moment, so he asked, "Since you have been practicing for so many years, you should know the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, how can you take the human body?"
The woman laughed and said, "Sir, I'm not making trouble for no reason. He demolished my house for no reason, leaving me without a place to live. I have been in this eaves for seven days and seven nights, and I am so cold and hungry that I cannot bear it. I have to come through the mouth of this woman. If you are willing, please give me some incense and candles so that I can have a full meal!"
Lin Ping listened and looked at Sun Xu, who motioned him to do the same. The subordinate received the order and hurried to get a bundle of sacrificial incense and candles.
When the woman saw this, she was overjoyed, and kept urging: "Hurry up, hurry up." ”
Although the subordinate was afraid, he still trembled and lit all the incense and candles.
Seeing the incense candles burning, the smoke dissipated, the woman's eyes lit up, and she inhaled the smoke violently, and the originally depressed spirit suddenly recovered.
