Chapter 6: The Fox Master
The sun is shining, and the autumn colors are getting brighter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The gilded signboard of the Yama Hall shines with the morning sun.
As soon as the gate was opened, a man was brought in. The man had been unconscious, his right cheek was purple, and his body was covered with mottled bloodstains, most of which were dark red between his legs.
Widow Lin used a knife to cut through the crotch of her pants soaked in viscous blood, tore off the fabric stuck between her legs, and suddenly let out a piercing scream, almost vomiting out her breakfast!
A white-haired old man followed closely behind the bamboo and wood stretcher and crawled into the hall of Hades. He looked at Widow Lin with tears in his eyes, his mouth was so stumbling that he couldn't say a word.
Although Widow Lin didn't know what happened last night, she could guess everything.
This old man Hao is one of the best old people in the city, and he has never done anything lacking in virtue, but his son is addicted to gambling. His son's fate today must be related to the word "gambling". can be so ruthless and vicious, Man Chaoge can no longer find a second one, only Wang Laoqian!
The last time Widow Lin saw Wang Laoqian was two years ago, probably shortly after Lin Zi's disappearance. Widow Lin still remembered that her daughter's last patient was a foreigner in green clothes, and she never came back.
Later, when Wang Laoqian led a group of followers to the Hall of Hades to rob people, they didn't grab it, but only snatched a piece of green jade that Lin Zi had brought with him.
Widow Lin didn't know why Wang Laoqian did this, she only knew that the magatama was the thing she hated the most, because it was given to her daughter by Su Ji.
Every time Lin Zi looked at the piece of magata, he would talk about Su Ji's personality, saying that the reason why he was called "the second splash skin of the song" was because he had taught him a lesson except for Wang Laoqian.
Looking back now, Widow Lin felt that the truth might really be as Lin Zi said.
Since Su Ji died in the fire two years ago, the business of Hades Chou Tang has become more and more popular, and injured people like Hao's son will be brought in a few every day.
Widow Lin's medical skills are far worse than Lin Zi's, and it would be good if Uncle Hao's son could save a life in her hands.
Hao Laozhang has been passed down for seven generations, and there is only such a son. Thinking that the incense of the Hao family would be cut off for generations, he was even blind from crying.
He also pleaded with Lord Su to uphold justice, but Lord Su said that it was his son who whipped Lao Qian in front of Wang Laoqian and beat him out with a stick. Later, he heard that even the decades-old expansion of Su Mansion was the money of Wang Laoqian.
Just when Uncle Hao shouted that the heavens should not be and the earth was not spiritual, Widow Lin's words made matters worse extinguished his last flame of hope:
"Old man, your little copper shell is not even enough for medicine. If you want your son to live, let's go and ask the fox master. ”
For the name "fox master", Hao Laozhang is no stranger.
The fox master is a deity enshrined in the temple outside the city, which was originally a haunted temple of Tongtian, but has now been renamed "Qingling Temple", which is a dojo for five immortals to cultivate the truth.
As early as two years ago, no one in Chaoge believed in the fox master, until a foreigner came to the city. This foreigner claims to be a "good wealth boy", the reincarnation of a good wealth boy under Princess Miaoshan of the South China Sea, who can suppress the ghosts and keep the song of the dynasty from destroying wealth for a month.
At first, no one believed it, but after a month, the big families in the city were really not harassed by the ghosts.
So people began to ask for help from the rich man one after another, and those who asked him for help all got their wishes. It didn't take long for the good fortune boy to become a living immortal of Chaoge.
However, the son of good fortune said that it was not himself who helped people, but the "fox master" who was reincarnated by the fox spirit of Qingqiu. So the people tore down the stone statue of the Tongtian Sect Master and replaced it with a fox master.
Nowadays, the people of Chaoge know that the fox master will help someone solve their troubles every month.
Although this chance is very slim, no matter how big your trouble is, as long as you are willing to give one percent of your entire property to the fox master, even if your property is only ten stones, as long as the fox master is willing to accept one of your sacrifices, you will definitely not be disappointed.
Although he knew that the chance of getting the favor of the fox master was slim, but Uncle Hao was already desperate, not to mention taking out a fortune, even if the family was bankrupt, as long as he could breathe this out for his son, even if it was for his life, he would take it out and try it out without reservation.
The color of the sunset is getting darker and darker, and a biting cold wind blows in the cemetery under the star-picking platform. A flock of crows flew noisily over Hao's head. He rushed to the Qingling Temple before dark, only to see that the dilapidated temple, which was originally haunted, was now resplendent and prosperous.
As soon as Mr. Hao entered the temple gate, he saw five tall statues of gods. The fox master with the head of the fox is the highest statue in the center of the temple, and two guardian gods are enshrined on both sides.
On the right are "Good Wealth Son" and "Fengzi Niangniang", and on the left are "Fearless God of War" and "Five Grain Immortals". Just listening to the names of these five gods, Hao Lao Zhang was convinced that they must have great magical powers and boundless power.
Seeing the sun set, there was still an endless stream of people asking for immortals. Walking behind Hao Laozhang were two scrawny wealthy businessmen, each holding a delicate wooden box in their hands.
Coincidentally, the two wooden boxes happen to be made of the most precious Qi Nan wood. Chaoge can afford this kind of wood, except for Wang Laoqian, there are only these two businessmen who are called "peeled shrimp".
Don't look at this "pair of shrimp" so thin that it looks like someone has been stripped of a layer of skin, in fact, they have always picked other people's skin. The people of Chaoge are the little shrimps that were skinned by the two.
The two pickpocketed shrimp at Mai Mang's needle tip glanced at each other with disdain, and when the two saw the ragged old man Hao in front of them, they invariably looked at each other and smiled, showing contempt.
Old man Hao lowered his head in shame, worshiped the five gods over and over again, and respectfully put a piece of copper shellfish on the offering table. He had just turned to leave, but was stopped by a young man in Tsing Yi who looked to be about twenty years old.
Uncle Hao must have thought that this strange foreigner was a good man, so he made a big gift respectfully.
The good fortune boy helped Hao Lao Gong up and asked:
"My husband hasn't said his troubles yet, why are you in a hurry to leave?"
"Back to the words of the immortal master, the villain's troubles have been told to the immortal master in his heart. ”
The good fortune boy shook his head and said:
"Master Fox, his old man is good at everything, but his ears are not very sharp, you always have to shout loudly so that he can hear. ”
Uncle Hao is an honest man, and when people asked him to shout, he cried and shouted, and shouted out what happened to his son.
When Hao Laozhang shouted the name Wang Laoqian, four figures suddenly appeared from behind the screen, all wearing bulky bronze fox masks on their faces.
When the two pickled shrimp saw these four coming out, they immediately arched their backs into a pair of shrimp and bowed. Uncle Hao also knelt down. Needless to say, these four are the other four gods.
One of the gods walked up to the offering table, put the bronze shell that Hao Lao had placed on the table into his sleeve, and then retreated behind the screen with the other three gods.
Old Master Hao was ecstatic and bowed in the direction of the departure of the four gods, and then left the Qingling Temple happily.
The two peeled shrimps were stunned, like two suffocated dead fish, and their jaws almost fell to the ground.
The rich man asked the two wealthy merchants, "Have you ever committed sins before?"
"What is the crime?" muttered to the two peeled shrimps, both with innocent and blank expressions.
"If you feel innocent, even the fox master can't do anything about the trouble of the two, please leave quickly. ”
The two hurriedly changed their words, and replied again and again: "Yes!
The good fortune boy smiled indifferently, took out two pure gold wine lords, and put them in front of the two.
The two reached out and picked up the cup and sniffed it, then frowned and put the cup back again.
The good fortune boy said: "If you feel that you are guilty, please drink this cup of atonement to dissolve your karma." ”
The two hesitated for a long time, then mustered up the courage to pick up the cup again, each swallowed his saliva, pinched his nose and swallowed it. The action was done in one go, as if it had been rehearsed in advance, and after drinking, he burped at the other party.
A strong smell wafted out of their mouths, causing the two of them to vomit violently.
The entire temple reverberated with the sound of the two of them vomiting. The two of them vomited for half an hour, vomiting everything in their stomachs, and almost vomiting out their intestines together.
"All the filth has been spit out, and the two of them need to go back and repent sincerely before they can eradicate their karma. ”
After that, the good fortune boy waved his hand like a fly, and the two of them withdrew from the Qingling Temple in a gloomy manner, their staggering backs as if they had just been stripped of a few layers of skin, and as soon as they stepped out of the threshold with their hind feet, they heard the door behind them being slammed shut.
The good fortune boy inserted the door bolt from the inside, and the four gods immediately took off the bulky fox mask, which was Su Ji, Hua Tu'er, the little Taoist, and the old beggar.
Su Ji suddenly burst into a series of long laughs. The flower tumor asked curiously:
"Brother Ji, what are you laughing at?"
"Isn't it ridiculous? The stupid shrimp thought they could atone for their sins with two stinky dollars. It's really so easy, aren't all the immortals in the heavens rich, and the poor all have to go to eighteen layers of hell?"
"What the hell are they drinking?"
Su Ji smiled, made a silent gesture, and said:
"Can't say now. Because your dad hasn't eaten yet......"
When everyone turned around, they saw the old beggar swallowing his saliva, rubbing his hands, picking up the fat chicken on the table, and devouring it.
Hua Mao'er's eyes lit up, and he kicked over the tribute box in the temple, and the jewels poured out like a waterfall. He greedily grabbed two agate bracelets and put them on his wrists, and laughed wildly:
"Who would have thought that the four ghosts in the Tongtian Temple would now become four immortals? I never dreamed, what about you, Brother Ji?"
Su Ji took out a small bottle of fine Moutai from his arms, raised his head and poured it, choking and coughing loudly, but replied with a comfortable face:
"Your brother Ji is dead! I'm a fox master now. Brothers must be commensurate with immortal titles in the future. The hungry ghost beggar is a grain immortal, the ghost Taoist priest is a fearless god of war, and the Tsing Yi brothers are the sons of good fortune. Su Ji pointed to the flower tumor and said with a smile: "You are Fengzi Niangniang." ”
Hua Tuo'er picked up a pure gold hairpin from the tribute pile and put it on her head, and said in a snort like a woman's charm:
"Although the master's immortal name is good, it is just a little ironic, which makes me a little embarrassed. ”
Su Ji instantly got goosebumps, kicked on the crocod's buttocks, and said:
"You don't like it, but the people of Chaoge like it very much!"
The little Taoist priest looked up at the five gods in the temple and sighed:
"People will worship a god, but they will never worship a ghost. These immortal seekers who burn incense and worship are flattering passers-by, and they can't tell what is a god and what is a ghost. As long as the ghosts have a resounding name, there will be people who worship them as gods. They have no faith at all. ”
"Maybe most people don't. Su Ji shrugged his shoulders, as if to say himself: "But no faith does not mean no creed." It is enough for a person to live on earth with only one creed. My creed is that kindness will be avenged, and revenge will be snowed!"
Su Ji patted the shoulder of the good fortune boy and said, "The four of us have today, in addition to thanking this Tsing Yi brother for helping us think of a good idea, but also thanks to one person." ”
"Who?" asked Hua Tu'er and the little Taoist priest in unison.
"Wang Laoqian!"
The flower tumor broke a mouthful of spit and said:
"If it weren't for this dead fat man forcing Lao Tzu to be a ghost, how could Lao Tzu be in the immortal class now?"
Su Ji smiled and said, "Today, Uncle Hao begged us, we might as well return to our old business and be a ghost again, how about it?"
As soon as Su Ji's voice fell, Hua Tu'er couldn't stop laughing, snapped, and high-fived and praised:
"Okay......! No, just do what the fox master says!"
