Chapter 39: Are There Really Ghosts?
After Mr. Deng finished telling this story, the night was already very deep, almost two watches, but no one proposed to go back to the guest room to rest, everyone felt that today was a rare opportunity, since they had said it, they wanted to understand.
Wan Jingcheng looked at everyone and said, "I'm sorry, it's almost dawn, so I'm delaying everyone's rest." ”
Huang Si ordered someone to present everyone a plate of chongyang cake and a plate of fruit. The pastry is very delicate, like a pagoda, with nine layers, five colors, a small red paper flag is inserted on the cake, and candles are lit. The fruit bowl contains Suzhou Xishan oranges, Maoshan apples and Changzhou Jiaoxi pineapples.
After seeing such a delicate pastry, everyone was a little reluctant to eat it, but they were really hungry, and everyone praised it while eating it beautifully.
While eating, Gao Chengqi said: "Eldest prince, you have summoned us all today, in the morning to visit the river to see Qianguo Lane, and in the afternoon until now you have been discussing the story of Qianguo Lane, it seems that you have made up your mind to deal with the Tang family."
Wan Jingcheng: "You can't say it so simply. It should be said that we have encountered thorny problems, all of which are related to the Tang family, and we need to find a way to solve them. ”
Gao Chengqi: "What problem to solve?"
Wan Jingcheng: "Just for one sentence!"
Gao Chengqi wanted to ask something, but the second son, Wan Jingxuan, snatched it and said, "I bought it for 30,000 taels of silver." ”
Gao Chengqi: "Okay. If you don't say it, I won't ask. However, I still have to say it again, the Tang family in Qianguo Lane is a mystery, and it will always be a mystery. Whatever we do, we need to act with our minds, and we must not act rashly. ”
Wan Jingcheng: "Thank you, thank you, old man, for reminding me! I will definitely tell you about the matter today, otherwise I wouldn't have been on guard for ten miles around this island." It's a pity that something happened to my Uncle Li, and I feel very sad. ”
Wan Jingcheng said very sincerely and sincerely.
Wang Yunbo looked at the elders present and said, "Eldest Prince, we have all understood your ideas today, and we will definitely support you." However, the mystery of Qianguo Lane cannot be underestimated, they also have the celebrities around Emperor Jiajing, and the eldest lady of their family has just been engaged to Chu Linghao, the eldest son of Chu Lanqing, the prefect of Changzhou. ”
Wan Jingcheng: "Okay, elders, I will listen to everyone's opinions and think about it in the long run. When my uncle came, we discussed business. Now let's talk about ghosts and gods, are there really ghosts and gods in Qianguo Lane? Elder Wang, do you believe in ghosts and gods?"
The night is already very deep, because of the incident of Li Protector just now, all the doors and windows have been closed, the torches are about to burn out, the air is filled with a smell of smoke, looking out through the crack in the door, there is no moon in the night sky, there is no starlight embellishment, the window is pitch black, in the lobby, it is even quieter, at this time talking about ghosts, as if it is a voice from the valley, which makes people chill.
At such a time, when asked such a topic, Wang Yunbo was speechless, and he said with a wry smile: "Whether there are ghosts or not, I have no right to speak, telling some legends of the countrymen, although it is scary, but there is no basis, I can't say it on this occasion." This question, it is best to ask Elder Su, the soul-chasing sword technique helps people become demons, and also helps people become immortals, they believe in ghosts and gods, and Laojun Mountain also has a famous demon in the world. ”
The old man Yunzhong Yan Su Yunqing, a master of the Soul Chasing Sword, stood up and said, "Haha, Elder Wang, we are also old brothers for decades, don't be sarcastic about me, the scandal in this sect is really unspeakable." Eldest Prince, I wanted to interject when I spoke just now, but I never had a chance. Speaking of ghosts and gods, eldest prince, I think it's best not to jump to conclusions. I want to say that it's one thing to have ghosts or gods, and it's another thing to see ghosts and gods. ”
Wan Jingcheng did not answer.
Wang Yunbo: "Good brother, I didn't mean to squeeze you, let alone make fun of you, don't be surprised, I just want you to talk about it, because I know a lot about this aspect, and it's all true, I want the three sons to believe it." If you don't want to say it, don't say it. ”
Su Yunqing: "Elder Wang, it's okay. Have you ever heard of Juxianso?"
Wan Jingcheng: "Juxianzhuang?' Juxianzhuang, who knows the world's affairs and has no needs." ”
Su Yunqing: "Yes, Juxianzhuang, who is 'well versed in the world's affairs, and has no needs and should not be'." ”
Wan Jingcheng: "Of course I know! Why Xi Li and Hu Tu in Wanliu Lane can know about the world is not because he can find Juxianzhuang." ”
Su Yunqing: "As far as I know, it is a place where ghosts and immortals cultivate, otherwise, who would dare to have a big breath." ”
Everyone looked at him with wide eyes.
Su Yunqing: "Don't be surprised. I'm not afraid of losing face, so I'll talk about an ugly thing about my own family today. After the rivers and lakes appeared in Juxianzhuang, my master and brother felt curious and kept secretly tracking down. On the first day of October in the first year of Jiajing, on a dark and windy night, they finally found that a group of people from Juxianzhuang were gathering in Wangxian Thatched Cottage in Langya Mountain, Anhui Province. I'm sorry, I can't call him my uncle, he was expelled from my sect by my ancestor and my master in his early years, and he is no longer a person in this sect. He called the Devil of Impermanence. ”
Gao Chengqi: "It's the impermanence of the life-seeking ghost who 'wants you to die in the second watch and don't get the dawn'." ”
Su Yunqing: "Yes." ”
Gao Chengqi: "I heard that he was expelled from the sect by your grandfather and hid in the Hidden Dragon Valley and became a famous killer who terrified the rivers and lakes. ”
Su Yunqing: "Yes." ”
Gao Chengqi: "I heard that he deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors and was destroyed by his peers in the world. ”
Su Yunqing: "Yes." He created eleven appalling murder tragedies on the rivers and lakes, which shocked the rivers and lakes, and even humiliated my master, my master led his disciples to unite Wudang, Longhu Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, Maoshan and other Taoist eighteen Taoist real people besieged him under Laojun Mountain, and fought for three days and three nights, and my master personally pierced his heart with a sword. My ancestor remembered the friendship of the past, because he was once my master's most beloved apprentice, and brought his body back to the mountain. Just halfway up Laojun Mountain, everyone in my sect stood there watching my ancestor bury him with his own hands. At that time, all of us stood there and listened to the admonition of my master, and I will never forget it. My master admonished his disciples to abandon evil and follow good, and if they can't, their master will never spare them. Not long after I joined the school, I saw it all with my own eyes. ”
Su Yunqing turned his head to look at everyone: "It's not strange for you to say, thirty years later, in the fifth year of Zhengde, that dark and windy night, at a party in Wangxian Thatched Cottage in Langya Mountain, Anhui, my master saw him." ”
My master and brother stayed on the top of the drunken Weng Pavilion in Langya Mountain for most of the night and waited for them to disperse, so they followed, followed Ren Wuchang for a month, day and night, followed from Anhui to Guiyang, in the vast mountains, Ren Wuchang did not eat or drink, did not hurry or slow, and took my master to go around in circles in the mountains, until my two uncles ****, my master also ran out of energy and fell. When I and the other disciples of my sect arrived, my master was already as dry as a zombie, and before he died, he only said one sentence to me: Juxian Village is a place for ghosts and immortals to cultivate. ”
The night was already very deep, there was no moon in the night sky, and there was no starlight embellishment, and it was pitch black outside the window, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the darkness outside the window was even more terrifying.
