Chapter 83
However, after Chen Guhong was startled, he calmed down. Because whether it is his feeling or the words of Gao Zhuang in his head, this old lady is not a demon or a ghost, but just weird.
Chen Guhong took a deep breath, tidied up his clothes a little, and took the lead in saluting: "Chengyang Chen Guhong has seen his aunt. ”
"Wang Song has seen his aunt. Wang Song's heart and liver were still trembling, but he still reacted when he saw Chen Guhong's movements, and saluted slightly.
Mrs. Zheng watched from the sidelines, and when she saw the surprised appearance of the two, she felt very normal. Because when she first met her mother-in-law, she was even more surprised than them.
And my mother-in-law is really not half old these years, as a woman, Mrs. Zheng has a little love for beauty, and she is also envious in her heart.
"He is worthy of being a scholar, and he is polite. Mrs. Zheng said with a smile, this smile is the spring blossom, and with the wave of red lips, the beauty has increased by twelve points.
Chen Guhong and the others lowered their heads, did not look at any more points, and were respectful and polite.
The old lady praised it. Chen Guhong said.
"This is not Miao Zan, but I can see it with a pair of old eyes. As the saying goes, seeing is believing, hearing is false. When the two of you came to the old family, it was very appropriate to take care of the widows and orphans, and you did not lose the rules and respect of scholars inside and out, and you can be called gentlemen. and my son is wise to be your friend. Old Madam Zheng said, paused, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen outsiders for many years, otherwise how could I meet you?"
This old lady Zheng's voice was very old at first, but now when I listen carefully, it clearly has a special magnetism, and the ears of those who listen to it are itchy.
Chen Guhong and the others lowered their heads as low as possible.
Old Madam Zheng saw that the two of them were becoming more and more childlike, and her face showed a look of satisfaction. said: "Listen to Ma, do you have any doubts about the cause of the death of the old son?"
Mrs. Zheng nodded beside her.
Chen Guhong saluted again and said, "Brother Zheng, his death showed horror, and his hands were tightly tugged to make us a little confused. I heard my sister-in-law say that she died of fright in the middle of the night, and said that she often locked herself in her room and talked to herself before. So confused. ”
Old Madam Zheng nodded, let out a sigh, and said with a sad expression: "It's all fate." This grief can break a man's heart, and I feel pity.
Chen Guhong still lowered his head slightly, and his face did not change. And Wang Song hung his head to his toes, obedient like a baby.
After lamenting Madam Zheng, she asked, "Do you believe that there are demons and ghosts in this world?"
Then he said to himself: "The old body believes in it, and he also believes that his son was killed by ghosts and demons." There is a mountain peak in the north of this orange town, called Lonely Mountain. There is a Taoist temple on the mountain peak, called the Seven Stars Temple, and there is a Taoist chief in the temple, called the Kaiyang Taoist Chief. This elder has known each other for many years, perhaps not for many years. He is a man of the gods and can find out why. It's just that I've been staying at home for many years and don't want to go out anymore. The daughter-in-law is a woman, and she is not at ease when she is sent. The two of you will take care of it, and go and ask the Taoist chief to see the reason on behalf of the elder. ”
Immediately, Mrs. Zheng reached out to her left sleeve, groped out a letter, handed it to Chen Guhong and said, "This is a letter written by the old man, nephew Chen, you can take it to the Taoist." ”
On the yellow envelope, it was written that the head of Kaiyang Dao had opened it personally. The font is beautiful, and there is a fragrance that seems to be absent.
It's getting more and more bizarre.
Chen Guhong was very surprised, but he still nodded, stretched out his hand to take the letter, and said: "The elder explains, don't dare to be lazy, I will set off tomorrow to see this Kaiyang Dao Chief." ”
"There's Lao Chen's nephew. Old Madam Zheng nodded and smiled.
Immediately, Mrs. Zheng talked with Chen Guhong for a while, and soon showed a tired look. Chen Guhong's seven tricks are exquisite, and he knows that this means "you can go back". He saluted Wang Song again, turned around and walked out.
When leaving, Chen Guhong looked back. The big rat next to Mrs. Zheng's show feet shouted at the two of them, jumping and jumping.
Under the red dazzling, Old Madam Zheng seemed to be smiling, and her smile was very weird.
Although this old lady is not a demon or a monster, Chen Guhong still has some thoughts. And Wang Song didn't say a few words during the whole process, silent as gold, and tense all over.
When Mrs. Zheng sent them back to the guest room, there were only two people left. Wang Songcai's whole body was weak, as if he was prostration, and even broke out in a cold sweat, and said to Chen Guhong: "It's not that I chew the root of my tongue, she said that there are demons, I think she looks like a demon." ”
After a pause, he said, "You have also seen my mother, the lady of the squire's family." He married my father at the age of thirteen and gave birth to me at the age of fourteen. Today I am more than thirty-four years old. This Zheng Chong is a few years older than me, and his mother can't be younger than his mother. But seeing that my mother is younger, her voice is still old. And the son died, this Mrs. Zheng is a daughter-in-law who wears filial piety every day, but as a mother, she wears red clothes and the big mouse. ”
Wang Song said all the words as if pouring beans. At the end, he said to Chen Guhong: "It's not my friend's affection, I think it's better not to stay in this place for a long time." ”
Wang Song believes that God is most afraid of ghosts, and Mrs. Zheng is indeed weird. Chen Guhong understood Wang Song's attitude, but he didn't want to leave in his heart, firstly, because the cause of Zheng Chong's death was strange, and secondly, the Kaiyang Daoist also aroused Chen Guhong's interest.
Chen Guhong grabbed the letter in his hand and looked forward to it. "If this Dao chief has the means to find out the reason as the old lady said, then he is a first-class person of the immortals. I'm doing everything possible to find the Immortal Dao, how can I miss it?"
So Chen Guhong smiled and said: "Okay, when we go to see the Kaiyang Daoist and come back, the Zheng family's decoration furniture and the like should also be ready to be moved." It's also when we go back. ”
"Good. Wang Song said happily.
But the next day, Chen Guhong left by himself, not leaving Wang Song to find the immortal road. But because Mrs. Zheng was very weird, she kept a little thought, afraid that this trip would be dangerous.
At the same time as he was on the road alone, Chen Guhong also picked up the Kunwu sword.
Chen Guhong set off before dawn, there was fog today, fog, and the visibility was only ten zhang range. Chen Guhong was arrogant in this white mist, and his actions were like the wind.
It was thirty-six miles until he came to the foot of a mountain.
At the foot of the mountain stands a stone tablet with two ancient characters written on it. "Lonely Mountain". The ancient characters are very special, and there is an atmosphere of the vicissitudes of time.
Looking up at the mountain peaks again, the rising sun shone on the earth and dispersed the fog. Chen Guhong's clothes, which were already wet with fog, gradually dried out.
But the mountain peak is still covered with white mist, like a fairy land. It can be vaguely seen that there is a Taoist temple on the mountain, and the artistic conception is far-reaching, such as landscape ink painting.
There is a way that the mountain is not high, and there is a fairy is famous!
Chen Guhong's heart yearns.
