You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 139

Decheng Zhenren smiled at Shi Zelan and said, "I want to drink a cup of tea you made."

Shi Xiaoliu took out the small red stove and started a fire to make tea. Shi Zelan took out the tea set and invited Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng to sit down.

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng looked at each other, sat down with a smile, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The wind in autumn is a bit rustling, but when you drink a cup of fragrant tea, the autumn wind will feel a bit warm.

In the night. Master Decheng sighed: "I heard someone tell you something today, which is really unimaginable. A timid little daughter-in-law poisoned more than ten people in her husband's family in five or six years.

Not long ago, the government investigated the case and discovered this little daughter-in-law. Neighbors came forward to plead for the little daughter-in-law, saying that her husband's family had gone too far and bullied others, forcing a good woman to kill someone.

She killed everyone who deserved to be killed, and her mother-in-law made her kneel on the ice to wash clothes in the middle of the winter.

This was not the most desperate thing for this little daughter-in-law. After she had a miscarriage, her parents-in-law thought she could not give birth and wanted to divorce her.

Unfortunately, her husband's family now lives in her dowry yard. Her husband's family wants to seize the property, and the surrounding neighbors have come forward to speak out.

The husband's family did not divorce the young daughter-in-law, and the mother-in-law quickly brought a widow from her parents' family to stay at home. "

Master Shanzheng glanced at Master Decheng: "Is this little wife's clan dead as well?"

Master Decheng sighed: "If the tribe had a good man who could take charge, they would not force the daughter-in-law to poison her husband's family to protect herself."

The next day, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng went out early and told Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan not to go too far when they went out.

After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were busy in the yard for a while, they decided to take a walk nearby.

The two of them walked out of the courtyard, looked around, and then Shi Xiaoliu said, "Go left today, and go right next time."

Shi Zelan agreed: "Let's turn around and go to the well on the left to listen to someone talk."

Shi Xiaoliu immediately stopped: "I'm not going, it's just women sitting by the well gossiping."

"Let's go, now all the women have gone home to do their work, and only the men are chatting by the well.

If you don't go, I won't be able to stop nearby and listen to their spiel. "

"You want to hear what my master said when he came back yesterday, right?"

Shi Zelan smiled at him: "Xiao Liu, let's go."

"You are too curious. Let's go."

Shi Xiaoliu walked in front and met enthusiastic neighbors on the road. He answered all questions.

"You brothers and sisters, please go out."

"Yes, let's take a walk around the area."

"When does your family make pancakes and sell them?"

"In ten days, if we want to eat pancakes, we will make more."

While Shi Xiaoliu replied, he led Shi Zelan forward, and Shi Zelan followed him with a smile on his face.

They walked to the well and saw an old woman washing vegetables by the well. Shi Xiaoliu looked back at Shi Zelan and narrowed his eyes.

Shi Zelan waved his fist at him: "Brother Xiao Liu, go forward."

Shi Xiaoliu took the lead and looked back at Shi Zelan when he reached the entrance of the alley: "Are you still going?"

Shi Zelan turned around and walked back: "I'm going back, I'm going back."

Shi Xiaoliu followed and walked back. The two stood by the empty well for a while, and then walked back disappointed.

On their way back, they didn't meet any enthusiastic neighbors, so the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

They returned to the yard, and Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan, "I want to refine the elixir, what about you?" "I'll accompany you, and I'll draw the talisman."

Shi Xiaoliu closed the courtyard door tightly and began to refine the elixir, while Shi Zelan drew the talisman with peace of mind.

The wind blew and the leaves fell. Shi Xiaoliu used his spiritual consciousness to observe the rolling of the elixirs in the alchemy furnace. Shi Zelan placed a stack of drawn talismans at his hand.

At Shenshi, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng came back from outside, their expressions grave.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at each other. Shi Xiaoliu went into the kitchen to fetch hot water. Shi Zelan took out the tea set and placed the tea cups in front of Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng.

Shi Xiaoliu brought out the hot water, and Shi Zelan made tea. The aroma of tea floated out. After Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng drank a cup of tea, their expressions softened.

"Uncle, Master, did you encounter anything bad outside today?"

Master Decheng sighed softly: "The little daughter-in-law I talked about yesterday committed suicide last night."

Shi Zelan's expression changed and he took a deep breath: "She was locked up in the government, how could she commit suicide?"

"She is liberated this way." Master Shan Zheng said calmly.

"Uncle, Master, I know she won't survive in the end, but I always feel a little uncomfortable when I hear she died like this."

Master Decheng looked at her: "Alas, there are few miracles in this world."

Master Shan Zheng sighed softly: "There must be miracles in the world, but we just have to live long enough to see them."

it's dark.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan walked towards the backyard. On the way, Shi Xiaoliu suddenly said: "Sister Lan, we must walk on the right path and use conspiracy to do things."

Shi Zelan glanced at him: "Both you and I can only use conspiracy.

There are too many injustices in the world, but we still have to practice all the way and strive to one day do justice and save the truly weak without harming ourselves. "

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan went into the room to meditate until it got light.

In the morning, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng decided to go to the Taoist temple outside the city to practice Zen. They once again refused Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan to follow them.

After they left, Shi Xiaoliu asked Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, where are we going?"

Shi Zelan went to stand at the entrance of the yard, turned to Shi Xiaoliu and said, "Let's go to the well again today to take a look."

Shi Xiaoliu thought for a moment and said, "We won't go to the well for now. Let's open the courtyard door and listen to what's going on outside first."

Shi Zelan returned to the yard from the door and said to Shi Xiaoliu: "Should I read a book? Or do needlework?"

"Pfft, can you do needlework? You'd better show off with a book."

Shi Zelan sat at the table, took out an ancient book, and slowly read through it.

Shi Xiaoliu dug out a pile of herbs and took out her medicinal scissors to carefully cut the herbs.

When the neighbors passed by, they all stepped back in surprise: "Xiao Liu, Xiao Lan, you are not going out today?"

Shi Xiaoliu took the scissors and said to the neighbors: "I will cut the herbs, and Xiaolan will endorse them."

Shi Zelan secretly took a breath. If she hadn't memorized this book, she wouldn't be able to bear Shi Xiaoliu's words.

Neighbors came in curiously and took a look at the book Shi Zelan was going to memorize. After reading it, they took a breath and looked at Shi Zelan, and their eyes were wrong.

"Xiaolan, do you really want to memorize such a thick book?"

Shi Zelan sighed: "My brother asked me to memorize this book. He said it would be good for me to memorize it."

The neighbors looked at Shi Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, your sister doesn't have to take the imperial examination. Don't force her to endorse."

Shi Zelan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I don't take the imperial examination, so I don't need to endorse it."
