"The surname of the sheep: for the rich and unkind, cunning and treacherous. The golden light shrouded the underworld, making the hall of Yama filled with gloomy ink mist, and the stench of copper coins stained the sky, making the ghost city drowsy, and it was difficult to distinguish between day and night. A few stinky money can also drive away ghosts, and the vast supernatural powers actually affect the gods. The family property surnamed Yang must be confiscated to reward Xi Fangping's filial piety. Immediately take the prisoner to Emperor Taishan Dongyue and execute it according to law. ”

Erlang God said to Xi Lian again: "Remember that your son has filial piety and righteousness, and you yourself are kind and loyal, so I will give you another thirty-six years of yang life." ”

After Erlang God finished speaking, he called two messengers to send their father and son home. Xi Fangping copied the verdict and read it together on the way. When he got home, Xi Fangping woke up first, asked the family to pry open the lid of his father's coffin, and saw that the body was still stiff and cold, and waited for a day before gradually waking up.

After Xi Fangping took care of his father, he was looking for the transcribed verdict, but there was no more. Since then, the family has become richer day by day. In the past three years, the fertile fields have been all over the field. However, the descendants of the surname Yang declined, and the pavilions and fields all fell to Xi Fangping's family.

Someone in the same village bought the farmer's land, and at night he dreamed that the gods rebuked him, saying, "This is the property of the Xi family, how dare you take possession of it?" At first, he didn't believe it; after sowing seeds, he could not harvest one liter and a half bucket for the whole year, so he had to resell it to the Xi family. Xi Fangping's father lived until he was in his nineties before dying.

"Are you finished?" I looked at Ying Ning a little confused, and Ying Ning nodded, still smiling on her face. "I want to know, how can you tell me these things, and how will it help me?"

"Aren't you going to find the Absurd Bird?" I frowned, something was wrong, I didn't seem to have spoken to Ying Ning about the Absurd Bird. However, could it be that she has the ability to be a prophet of the unknown? It's just half human and half fox, can you really have such an ability?" But what do you have to do with the Bird of the Absurd?"

"Of course it matters! Now this Xi Fangping has defected to the absurd bird, and this underworld is also controlled by the absurd bird, as well as the Erlang God Yang Jian, it turns out that he is full of resentment towards the heavenly court, and he also went to the absurd bird with Xi Fangping. ”

"Is what you said true?" I frowned, looking at Ying Ning, always feeling that something was wrong. "yes, I'll tell you one more thing! if you don't know her, it's going to be tricky!" I nodded, looking at Ying Ning with an indescribable uneasiness in my heart.

Feng Sheng of Guangping Mansion was a person from the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. He was a frivolous and debauched young man and an overindulgent drinker. One morning, he went out by chance, and met a young girl with a red cloak and a beautiful face. Behind him was a small servant, who was hurrying through the morning dew, and his shoes and socks were wet. Feng Sheng secretly loved her in his heart.

In the evening, Feng Sheng came back drunk, and when he walked to a long-abandoned temple by the roadside, he saw a woman coming out of it, and at first glance, it was the girl he had met in the morning. When the girl saw him, she turned and walked in again. Feng Sheng secretly thought, how could a beautiful woman be in the temple? Tie the donkey in front of the door, and want to go in to see what is going on.

When Feng Sheng entered the temple gate, he saw the ruins of the broken wall and the fine grass like a green carpet on the stone steps. Feng Sheng was hesitating, and a white-haired old man with neat clothes and hats walked out and asked, "Where are the guests from?" Feng Sheng said: "I happened to pass by this ancient temple and wanted to pay my respects. How did my husband get here?"

The old man said: "The old man has been displaced here and has no residence, so he temporarily borrowed this place to settle down with his family. Since I am here, there is camellia that can be used as wine. After speaking, please invite Feng Sheng into the temple. Feng Sheng saw that there was a courtyard behind the hall, and the stone road was very clean, and there were no miscellaneous trees and grass. Entering the house, the curtains and bed tents are all fragrant.

After Feng Sheng sat down, the old man introduced himself and said, "The old man's surname is Xin. Feng Sheng asked abruptly, "I heard that you have a son-in-law, but you haven't found a good son-in-law yet; Xin Laoweng smiled and said, "Let me discuss with my wife." Feng Sheng wanted to write a poem and write a poem: "A thousand gold is looking for a jade pestle, and he is diligent and self-serving." If Yun Ying is interested, she will personally pound the Xuanshuang. ”

After reading it, the master smiled and handed the poem to the servant. After a while, a maid came out and whispered a few words to the old man, and the old man got up and asked the guests to sit patiently for a while. I lifted the curtain and went into the back room. I could vaguely hear two or three sentences spoken inside, and the old man came out again.

Feng Sheng thought there must be good news, but after the old man sat down, he just talked and laughed, and never mentioned the marriage. Feng Sheng couldn't help but asked, "I don't know what you mean, please explain to clear up your doubts." The old man said, "You are an extraordinary person, and I have admired you for a long time." But I'm a little secretive, so I can't say it directly. ”

Feng Sheng asked again and again. The old man said, "I have nineteen daughters, and I have married twelve. The daughter's marriage is decided by the old wife, and the old husband does not participate. Feng Sheng said, "I only want the one who took the little servant this morning and hurried through the dew." Xin Laoweng didn't speak, and the two were relatively speechless.

At this time, a woman's soft voice came from the inner room, Feng Sheng took advantage of his drunkenness, lifted the door curtain and said, "Since you can't be a husband and wife, just look at your appearance to eliminate my regrets!" When the people in the house heard the door curtain, they all stood up and looked at him in shock. Feng Sheng saw that there was indeed a girl in red, dressed gorgeously, with a belt twisted in her hand, slim and elegant. Seeing Feng Sheng break in, the people in the house were panicked. Xin Laoweng was furious and ordered a few people to pull Feng Sheng out, Feng Shengjiu poured up, fell in the grass, and the tiles and stones rained down, but fortunately they didn't fall on his body.

"This sounds, how is it a little familiar? This Feng Sheng, has anyone mentioned it to me?" I said to myself, Ying Ning heard my words, smiled even more happily, and said, "Really? Have you really heard of it?" I nodded, but who did it have to do with it, why did I forget it for a while?

Feng Sheng lay down for a while, and when he heard the donkey grazing on the side of the road, Feng Sheng got up and rode on it, and staggered onto the road. The night was confused, Feng Sheng strayed into the valley, and the wolf ran and howled, which frightened him to stand on end. He looked around hesitantly, not knowing what this place was.

Seeing a faint light in a black forest from a distance, Feng Sheng thought it must be a village, and drove the donkey over. When he looked up, he saw a high door, and he knocked it with his whip. Someone inside the door asked, "Where did the young man come from and came here in the middle of the night?" Feng Sheng replied, "I got lost." ”

The man said, "Wait until I tell my master." Feng Sheng craned his neck and waited. Suddenly, he heard the bolt of the door open, and a sturdy servant came out and led the donkey for him. When Feng Sheng entered, he saw that the houses were all gorgeous, and the lobby was brightly lit. After a while, a woman came out and asked for the name of the guest.

Feng Sheng told her. After a while, several maids helped an old lady out and said, "The county lord is here!" Feng Sheng stood up and wanted to salute respectfully, but the old lady stopped him and asked him to sit down. said, "Are you Feng Yunzi's grandson?"

Feng Sheng was a little puzzled, he didn't know why, this old lady actually knew his name, but he didn't think much about it. After all, it is not easy to deceive others by stooping to other people's roofs now! So Feng Sheng did not hesitate much, and replied, "Yes." ”

When the old lady heard this, she was overjoyed and said with a smile, "You are my nephew." I am old, in my old age, and I haven't had contact with my relatives for a long time. ”

When Feng Sheng heard the old lady's words, he looked puzzled and a little angry. After all, this is the first time we have met, so why did they recognize relatives indiscriminately? And I have never heard of any aunts or anything like that. Feng Sheng didn't show it, but he was still a little angry, and said: "My father died when I was a child, and I don't know one out of ten people who associate with my grandfather. I've never seen you, please tell me what to call you?"

The old lady said, "You'll know it yourself!" Feng Sheng saw that the old lady was a little angry, and he didn't dare to ask any more, so he had to sit there and think about it.

The old lady said, "Why did my nephew get here late at night?" Feng Sheng heard the old lady's words, although he was still entangled in the affairs of his relatives, but he also told the old lady what happened to him. Moreover, Feng Shengping often boasted of his boldness, so when he told the old lady what happened to him, he didn't omit anything, and recounted his experiences one by one.

The old lady smiled and said, "This is a great thing." Besides, my nephew is a celebrity and doesn't defile her family, why is the wild fox spirit so arrogant? Don't worry, nephew, I can do it for you. When Feng Sheng heard the old lady's words, he was very happy and thanked him again and again. The old lady looked at the people waiting on both sides and said, "I didn't know that the daughter of the Xin family was so dignified and beautiful. ”

A maid said, "He has nineteen daughters, all of whom are beautiful. I don't know what rank the official wants to hire?" Feng Sheng said, "She is about fifteen years old. The maid said, "This is the fourteenth mother." In March, she came with her mother to celebrate Junjun's birthday, how could Junjun forget?"

The old lady smiled and said, "It's the one with lotus petals engraved on the high-soled shoes, filled with incense crumbs, and walked with a gauze scarf?"

The maid said, "Yes." ”

The old lady said, "This girl is very good at tricks and flattery." But it's really handsome, and the nephew has a good eye. Then he said to the maid, "Send a little girl to call her." When the maid heard this, she agreed. After a while, the maid came in and reported: "The fourteenth mother of the Xin family has called!"

Then Feng Sheng saw the woman in red and looked at the old lady to give a salute. The old lady pulled her up and said, "When I become my nephew and daughter-in-law, I don't want to be a girl." ”

The woman got up, slim and elegant, with her red sleeves hanging low. The old lady straightened her hair, twisted her earrings, and said, "What has Fourteen Niang been doing in the boudoir recently?"

The woman whispered, "It's okay to be idle, embroider some flowers." As he spoke, when he turned around and saw Feng Sheng, he immediately shrank and became uneasy.

When the old lady saw the woman's appearance, she smiled and said, "This is my nephew." He is bent on marrying you, why did you let him get lost and spend the night in the valley?"

The woman bowed her head and remained silent. The old lady said, "I called you here, nothing else, I want to be a matchmaker for my nephew." The woman remained silent. The old lady ordered the maid to clean the bed and quilt, so that the two of them could get married.

The woman blushed and said, "I have to go back and tell my parents." The old lady said, "I am a matchmaker for you, what is wrong?" The woman said, "My parents dare not disobey the order of the king." But if I do it so hastily, I will die, and I will not dare to obey my fate!"

The old lady smiled and said, "The little woman is ambitious and does not submit to power, she is really my nephew and daughter-in-law." So, he plucked a golden flower from the woman's head and handed it to Feng Sheng, asking him to go back and check the almanac and set a good day and an auspicious day, and asked the maid to send the fourteenth mother back. At this time, the rooster was singing, and the old lady sent someone to lead the donkey to send Feng Sheng out.

"Xin Shi Niang?!!" I said with a look of surprise. I've been listening to it for so long, and I've always felt a little confused, and I always feel like I've heard some of the content. When I heard the 4 words of Xin Shi Niang, I finally understood. "You know?" Ying Ning also looked at me with some surprise, but the surprise on her face was mostly covered by a smile. It seems that she seems to be very surprised that someone knows Xin Shi Niang!

"Yes, I know about Xin Shi Niang. Someone told me before, I heard so much just now, and I didn't seem to hear it, what you want to say, Miss Ying Ning, is different from what that person said!" By the way, the ending that the ancient books and I said was that Xin Shi Niang had taken refuge in the absurd bird, could it be that Ying Ning wanted to talk to me about the ending, is there anything different?

"Then you've heard it, do you need me to continue?" asked Ying Ning. I nodded, and shook my head again. "Hahahaha! What are you doing? What do you mean, you want people to say it, and let people stop saying it. People have been talking for so long, and they are a little thirsty, don't you listen!"

"Wow!" I said to myself. This baby Ning was already very beautiful, and now when she speaks so loudly, it is like a fairy descending to earth, and a goddess has descended! No, no, my heart is full. It's so beautiful!"I want to hear it, what happened to Xin Shi Niang in the end? Last time my friend, when he told me, he didn't tell the whole story completely!"

"Okay!" said Ying Ning happily. Soon, Fourteen Niang suddenly said to Feng Sheng: "If I didn't do it for love, where would I have these troubles? When you were imprisoned, I ran among my relatives, but no one was willing to think of a way for me." The sourness at that time was really indescribable. Now the more I find this earthly world boring and distressing. I've found a woman for you, let's separate from now on!" Feng Sheng heard this, crying and kneeling on the ground and not getting up, Fourteen Niang gave up. At night, Fourteen Niang asked Lu'er to sleep with Feng Sheng, but Feng Sheng refused. The next morning, when I looked at Fourteen Niang, my face suddenly decreased. After more than a month, Fourteen Niang gradually aged. Half a year later, she was black and ugly, like a village woman. But Feng Sheng still treated her respectfully and respectfully, and it never changed. Fourteen Niang suddenly said goodbye again, and said, "You have your own beautiful wife, what do you want me to do as an ugly old woman?" Feng Sheng cried and begged like last time. Another month passed, Fourteen Niang fell violently, did not eat or drink, and lay in bed exhausted. ”

I nodded, no problem. I was trying to set up baby ning's words just now, because I always felt that something was not quite right, but I just couldn't think of it. Luckily, it seems to be the same ending, as I've heard from ancient books. In this way, there shouldn't be much of a problem with this baby. It's me, do you think too much?

I looked at Ying Ning, who still looked at me very happily, and said, "Finally one day, this Feng Sheng showed his ugly face!"

But now the ending has changed, Ying Ning doesn't know, maybe it's nothing. In other words, the ending she knows may be the correct ending that she thinks. "You know, if the average person shows his ugly face, then he should do something unfavorable!"

I looked at Ying Ning, and I always felt that she and the Ying Ning mentioned in ancient books seemed to be different. Although it may be because of the influence of the absurd bird, there may be a little deviation in the personality, but in my opinion, it doesn't seem to have changed much! After all, Mr. Pu Songling may not have written about what Ying Ning was like when he was angry. The current Ying Ning, it seems, is the way she is angry. Mr. Pu Songling, I just wrote that Ying Ning loves to laugh!

"What's wrong with you? Didn't I scare you with the way I looked just now!" Ying Ning seemed to realize that she was a little rude, and quickly lowered her head and said with a blushing face.

I shook my head and said, "No, no." It's just a little unaccustomed, after all, you were smiling just now, and suddenly angry, I just didn't react. It's okay, it's okay, you go on!" I felt a little embarrassed, I felt that Ying Ning seemed to be staring at me all the time, but she didn't have a smile on her face, staring at me, a little strange.

"Are you Ying Ning?" I asked warily. When Ying Ning heard my words, she was stunned for a while, and then immediately said, "Hahahaha! What are you talking about? I am Ying Ning!"

"No, you're not. If I'm not mistaken, you're Xin Shi Niang, right?" I looked at Ying Ning, the red dress, and there was nothing wrong. And I don't seem to have told her anything about the absurd bird at all. And she was wearing a red dress today, this dress, plus her expression just now. The red clothes are almost certain. I looked at Ying Ning, and Ying Ning seemed to realize something and laughed. Even if she has just said it, she is Ying Ning. However, her smile now seemed to be a little different from the smile she had just now. This smile has already revealed her identity very well, she is not Ying Ning.

Last night's was the real baby. This must not be Ying Ning.
