Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 533 It always feels like too much of a coincidence

With the steward’s exclamation,

Many people immediately gathered around and crowded together, scrambling to see what was underneath.

When Jia Zhen and Jia Rong saw this situation, they were even more anxious. Why didn't they know what kind of treasure it was? However, if there was any treasure, it was also from Ningguo Mansion. They shouted harshly,

"What are you doing? Get back and get out of here."

Jia Rong couldn't squeeze in from behind, so he reprimanded loudly and cursed,

"Get out of the way, if you want to rebel, get out!"

The boys and waiters around them came to their senses, took a few steps back, and got out of the way. Jia Zhen, his son, and the immortal master walked over one after another.

Take a closer look at it.

I saw the original place. After the stone lion was lifted up, the base was exposed. There was a square platform underneath, protruding from the bluestone floor, while the stone lion was empty underneath, recessed inside and covering it. Naturally, they cannot be pulled together no matter how hard they try.

The only solution was to move it down as the immortal master said. Jia Zhen's face was full of doubts. She had never heard her father Jia Jing mention that there was this thing at the door. Take a closer look. The platform on the bluestone slab was There is a bronze ring on it that seems to be able to be pulled open.

A trace of greed flashed in Jia Rong's eyes. If there is a treasure, it will also belong to Ningguo Mansion. If he inherits the title in the future, it will not be his own. When no one is around, he will take it out and play with it carefully.

It seems that I feel something in my heart!

The father and son looked at each other, knowing that the wealth should not be exposed, and did not want to open it just yet, but the Immortal Master still wanted to see what it was, and if it was a good thing, he would find a way to snatch it away and keep it as his own.

The method is also very simple, just say that this thing is very dangerous and needs to be suppressed by a poor man.

Then, urging him, he said,

"Master Zhen, you still need to open it to see what it is. If it is something serious, you need to expose it to the sun so that its evil deeds have nowhere to escape."

After listening to the immortal master’s words,

The father and son were extremely reluctant, and Jia Zhen thought about it. If there was really an evil spirit inside, this would be an opportunity to eliminate it.

Then he motioned to Jia Rong to open it in person to see what it was. Jia Rong was extremely reluctant. Although he seemed to be fine, if there was really something evil inside, he would be in trouble. He turned around and stood beside him. The boy said angrily,

"What are you still doing? Go over and take a look."

When the boy heard this, he seemed to know that the thing was in trouble. He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Master, please have mercy on me. Master, please have mercy on me."

"waste."

Jia Rong cursed and then looked around. The boys and guys around him were so frightened that they all stepped back and lowered their heads without saying a word. Master Feng Xian saw him. How could he wait like this? If he waited any longer, there would be more people.

"In this case, it's easy to handle. Take a hemp rope and tie it to the copper ring. Keep a distance and pull it apart together. Even if there is something, you won't be afraid."

This is a good idea. Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were overjoyed and shouted hurriedly,

"I didn't hear what the Immortal Master said, so hurry up and go. Hurry up."

This voice woke everyone up, and a boy hurriedly came over with a hemp rope. Under the command of the steward, he took the rope and carefully put it on the copper ring, and then left quickly.

After seeing that the rope was tied, Jia Zhen also urged and shouted,

"Quick, quick, pull harder in front."

"Pull hard."

The boys all pulled hard, and the stone slab rose up. As soon as it was opened, everyone hurriedly looked around and saw a thick blood coat spread on it, with something covered inside. The smell of blood and a dull dusty smell seemed to be placed there. For a long time.

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were gathered around. They looked familiar at the bloody clothes, but they didn't think about it. They wanted to look at what was underneath. By chance, Lai Sheng brought a pick stick from somewhere. After Jia Zhen took it, he Pulling the blood-stained clothes aside, there was a long knife stained with blood underneath, which was very evil.

Even though it was noon, the cold air still made everyone around him shiver.

It flashed through everyone's mind that this must be a very dangerous thing, and then there was an uproar and everyone backed away, for fear of being infected with some evil spirit and causing disaster.

"Master Immortal, what is this and why is it here?"

Jia Zhen was also surprised. The knife was a vicious thing. How could it be placed here? She asked anxiously, not to mention Jia Rong. She was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth and murmured unknown words.

The Immortal Master calmed down, and when he saw this thing, he didn't understand why the Duke's Mansion would place a murderous thing outside the house. After all, it was a blood evil, and it was a very dangerous thing, but there were stone lions sitting there to suppress it. What does it mean?

After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly thought that in the past, those nobles and nobles, whose ancestors started their careers because of their military exploits, killed many people, and there were many causes and consequences. And because after the establishment of the dynasty, the world was peaceful, they sealed their swords and buried their armor to suppress these evil things and neutralize them. The use of evil spirits can keep one's own luck in the house, and I guess there is guidance from an expert.

The Jia family of Ningguo Mansion started with first-class military exploits, so it is natural to have such weapons and armor. Since there are weapons here, the other one should be suppressed by a pair of armor.

"Principal Jia, there is no need to panic. If Pindao's guess is correct, these items should be the sabers of his ancestors, which were suppressed here. Today, Pindao will definitely help the layman resolve the evil spirit of this object and make Ningguo Mansion safe and sound."

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were overjoyed when they heard this. Since it could be resolved, it was a happy event. Otherwise, how could they sleep with these things in their hearts? It would be very difficult if the old lady of Rongguo Mansion knew about it. They went back to Taoism for the immortal master. The layman's ritual said,

"Excuse me, Master Immortal, for casting the spell."

In the carriage across from Ningguo Mansion, Zhang Jinyu stretched out her head and didn't see what Jia Zhen's group was doing. She was anxious. Seeing that the crowd was so dense, she couldn't see what was going on inside, so she shouted to the outside of the carriage. road,

"Ningbian, go over and see what's inside. It's mysterious. Could it be a treasure?"

"Yes, Lord Marquis, General Mo will go right away,"

After answering, Ning Bian ducked into the crowd, and then squeezed in. Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong and Queen Jiang stared intently. Queen Jiang asked in confusion,

"Marquis Luo Yun, is Ning Guo Mansion really evil? What do you think is hidden under the stone lion? Is there such a theory? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Well, back to you, my nephew, I don't understand this. What is hidden underneath is not a treasure. If it is really a treasure, Yichen's understanding of Jia Zhen and his son, if it is really a treasure, he would have gone there long ago. He grabbed it and carried it into the house.

I can still wait for so long and stand there indifferently, so it should be an ordinary thing. As for what it means to be suppressed, there are many people saying this, but I don’t know the specifics. "Zhang Jinyu thought for a while, and what he said should be right. It was probably the ancestors of the Jia family who did it. With Jia Zhen's temperament, as long as there are women, he will not bother to do anything else. As for Jia Zhen, The old prince of the family is by no means a simple person. He must have had a purpose to get this thing when he was building the mansion.

"You kid, what you said makes sense. I think it was the old Duke of the Duke's Mansion who did it. These unfilial descendants made changes without authorization, even touching the door of the mansion. It's so outrageous."

Emperor Wu's tone was also a little angry. The Jia family was really unlucky. Their descendants were doing nothing, and they even collaborated with cheaters to demolish the mansion at will. It was really unfilial. Zhou Shihong felt disgusted with Jia Zhen and his son. Thinking about it, Our ancestors, the two princes of the Jia family, were so brave and loyal to the court, but they could not help but disturb their old mansions by these unfilial descendants.

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true, but I just don't agree with it. The mansion I live in is handed down from my ancestors. Not to mention protecting it, even if there is a corner missing, I feel sad. Of course, I am a person from outside the customs, and I am too poor. I'm used to it and can't bear to waste it. The Jia family in Ningguo Mansion is a wealthy family in the capital, so I don't think they care about this."

As Zhang Jinyu spoke, he buried a hole for Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion. Zhou Shihong squinted at the stone lion that fell to the ground not far away, and the red brick walls, which did not have the same color as in the early years.

"You, what do you mean by poor days? Although it is a bitter and cold place outside the pass, there are many good things. I know the same. That wild ginseng is hard to find in the capital. You are still crying about poverty here. Although Ningguo Mansion has a good family, But with only the capital’s industrial income, how can I compare to you?”

When the queen saw that Marquis Luo Yun was crying about poverty again, she babbled a few words angrily. Zhang Jinyu grinned. She was indeed a woman and it was not easy to mess around with money.

"No matter what, I just feel that Jia Zhen has gone too far. How can the old house be easily changed, and the ancestor's spiritual position cannot be changed randomly. If you can change this point today, you can change that point tomorrow. Will the ancestral hall be changed in the future? "

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Emperor Wu asked Dai Quan again,

"The Jia family's clan ancestral hall is in Ningguo Mansion."

"Your Majesty, it is indeed true. The ancestral hall of the Jia family is in Ningguo Mansion. Historically, the people who succeeded to the title of Ningguo Mansion were the patriarchs of the Jia family, so the ancestral halls are naturally in Ningguo Mansion."

Dai Quan secretly wiped away Jia Zhen's sweat. The Marquis's mouth was too sharp, even this could be involved, and he didn't know what His Majesty would think.

"The old Duke of the Jia family was also blind in the past. I feel that the Rongguo Mansion is much more upright. The old lady manages the family well. Although the son is a bit pedantic and incompetent, he does not do such ridiculous things. Let's take a look. What does Jia Zhen want,"

After saying that, he continued to look over expressionlessly.

Zhang Jinyu didn't speak any more. She just stopped and went too far. As long as she watched the show here, she could find out what was wrong with Jia Zhen and put on eye drops.

however,

In front of Ning Mansion,

The Immortal Master touched his beard, took out his folding fan, reflected the long knife with golden light, and said after shining it,

"Jia Jia, bring a basin of water, put salt in it, and then clean the long knife. As for the bloody clothes, bring a torch and burn it."

"Yes, Immortal Master, bring the things here. Butler Lai, hurry up and prepare the things."

"Yes, sir."

There was a rush.

A boy brought the prepared things over, first lit the torch, and then poured some tung oil on the blood-stained clothes. The fire burned the long knife. It was strange to say that the long knife was wrapped in cloth, but there was no trace of blood left. Put it in salt water, and the blood and stains will escape in all directions, which makes everyone wonder.

Jia Zhen felt relieved after seeing this, and knew that this was a break from the blood evil.

"The Immortal Master has great magic power and the blood evil has been broken. What should we do next?"

"Jia Jia, don't worry. Wash the knife and place it in the middle of the door of Ning Mansion. Here, put Pindao's precious fan to remove bad luck. However, you still have to pay for the treasure."

Master Fengxian deliberately betrayed him. Jia Rong still didn't know what invitation meant and wanted to ask. At this time, Jia Zhen came over and took out a wad of silver notes and handed it over.

"Master Immortal, please put it away. I'll invite you now."

"Okay, Jia Jia is really devoted to the Tao, so the poor monk will put it in it."

Jia Rong, who was watching on the side, was stunned. He asked for money and asked for money at every turn. Who could bear this? But his father was willing and there were many weird things at the gate, so Jia Rong didn't dare to say anything.

The Immortal Master skillfully collected the banknotes and put them into his arms. Then he opened the folding fan and put it down towards the direction of the sun. The dazzling sunlight illuminated the folding fan with shining golden light, which made everyone around him envious. He couldn't help but say in his heart, what a great method. device.

"Okay, Jia Jiashi, this part has been taken care of. If Pindao guesses correctly, the other part should be a pair of armor, which also belongs to your ancestors. After opening it, clean it with salt water as usual and hang it here. place."

Jia Zhen was extremely convinced by Master Feng Xian's impressive and confident appearance.

"Come here, what are you still doing? Come on, just like here, knock down the stone lion over there and see what's inside."

"Yes, sir."

The boys and men around took the hemp rope to the stone lion on the east side and put it around the neck of the stone lion. Then everyone pulled it, put on the wooden stick and pried it, there was a muffled "bang" sound, and again It fell down,

Sure enough, there was an identical bluestone platform underneath, and there was also an iron ring. The brave man did not use a rope to pull it, but stretched out his hand and pulled it open. Sure enough, as the immortal master said, it was a pair of bloody armor, which had long been A boy brought salt water, washed it and put it on the steps.

When Jia Zhen and Jia Rong met, they were really a pair of bloody armors. This was how they were convinced. The immortal master was really powerful, and there was no doubt in his calculations.

This scene was seen by Ning Bian outside. After confirming that it was a pair of armor and nothing else, he returned to the carriage to report.

"Reporting to the Marquis, I finally went to see it. Under the stone lion seat in the west was a long sword with blood, and in the east was a piece of armor with blood. The Taoist priest was very accurate, and he also used a method to dissolve the evil spirit. Then There was a layer of blood, the general saw it, and the brocade cloth could not wipe it away over time.

But the Taoist priest ordered him to bring a basin of water and put the blood knife in it. The blood stains dispersed on their own. I don’t know why. Now on both sides of the stage, Jia Zhen invited magic weapons to be put in. On the west side was the folding fan just now, and on the east side was the magic weapon. I think it was the incense altar. "

"Oh, I see."

Zhang Jinyu responded in the carriage, very puzzled as to what the old Taoist priest was doing, then turned to face Emperor Wu and said,

"Your Majesty, it seems that the old Taoist priest has finished his arrangements soon. Let's see what he is going to do. Such a big movement shouldn't be just to knock down the two stone lions."

"You already know this and still ask, I ask you, you took this path today, but you expected this, how could it be such a coincidence?"

Emperor Wu asked about this suspiciously. Although he left the palace temporarily, everything was too coincidental. After hearing this, Zhang Jinyu looked aggrieved.

"Your Majesty, you have wronged me. Today, I made an appointment with my wife to go to Dongshifang to buy some snacks, and then go to Rongguo Mansion together. How could I possibly know about Jia Zhen's Taoism when I came here temporarily? Of course, I I’ve heard a little bit about it, but I didn’t know he was doing this.”

Seeing the aggrieved look on Marquis Luo Yun's face, Emperor Wu thought about it carefully. It was indeed the case. The queen came to see me today. He also decided to leave the palace incognito. coincide?
