You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 169 What to do at home

When Master Decheng and his party were sitting down in the teahouse, the great monk from the temple also happened to arrive at the old woman's house.

He got off the carriage and saw people standing outside the courtyard door. He smelled the scent of flowers again, and his heart suddenly sank.

The people arranged by the great monk actually found out some things about the old woman's natal family.

It's just that they all thought that the old woman's father would never come back, and most likely died outside.

But when the old woman was in the monastery, she had obviously reached the point where her health was exhausted. After she came back, she quickly recovered from her illness.

The great monk was a little curious, so when the old woman's son went up the mountain to invite him, he only thought for a moment and then agreed to follow him down the mountain.

The great monk entered the courtyard gate and saw the old woman greeting him in the courtyard. His brows jumped involuntarily.

The old woman's condition was obviously much better now. When the great monk heard the old woman say that he wanted to be grateful to the Buddha for his blessing, he could only pretend to be arrogant and said: "Donor, this is your own blessing."

The great monk entered the old woman's yard, saw the blooming flowers, and examined them carefully: "Except for the strong fragrance of the flowers, I can't see anything inappropriate."

He curiously asked: "Are the flowers in this yard meant to bloom?"

The servant girl beside the old woman shook her head and said, "A few days ago, the gardener came to take care of the flower branches in the yard. I took a look at it and saw no flower buds on the branches."

The great monk walked around, and with the old woman's permission, he entered the old woman's courtyard.

The great monk didn't see anything wrong. He asked about his daily life with concern.

While listening to the old woman's story about her missing father falling into a dream at night, he asked carefully what happened, and then saw the faces of the juniors surrounding the old woman, and some of them turned pale as the old woman told her story.

He sighed in his heart. The old woman's father was indeed an unusual person. His daughter said that she wanted to see flowers blooming in spring. All the flowers were in full bloom in winter.

Parents' love for their children is always profound and long-lasting.

The great monk quickly said goodbye and left. Among the people waiting outside the courtyard gate, when the great monk got on the carriage, someone asked anxiously: "Do they have any flowers at home that can be cultivated into elves?"

The great monk didn't pause for a moment. He got on the carriage directly. It wasn't until the carriage left the city gate that he opened the window and looked in the direction of the city.

Today, the storyteller in the teahouse didn't tell stories anymore. He just sat on the storyteller table for a while, and then he found an opportunity to say to the owner: "I won't be here these days."

The owner smiled at the storyteller and said, "Sir, you'd better come over. I'll set up a quiet place for you to come up with new stories."

The storyteller obviously understood what the host meant, but he just thought about it and whispered: "Master, the teahouse is too close to that place."

The owner's smile was particularly bright: "We won't tell other people's stories by name. You just tell the legends about gods and monsters repaying kindness."

The storyteller nodded silently, took the silver reward from his boss, and then found a place outside the teahouse to listen to everyone talk about the old woman's family.

When Master Decheng and his party were leaving, the host specially greeted them: "In a few days, we will have a new story in our teahouse, and it is a story worth listening to."

Decheng Zhenren directly decided on the location for three consecutive days and said to the owner: "My boss, choose a good location for us."

The owner nodded happily and whispered: "Our teahouse has a prosperous business, and the Kitchen God will protect the safety of our guests."

After Master Decheng and his party returned home, Master Qiyuan said to Xia Yu, "I will watch you sleep tonight and see who dares to come."

Master Qicheng then said: "Brother, let's go together."

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng looked at Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "You should be more alert at night and speak out if anything happens. Do you understand?" Shi Zelan directly handed Shi Xiaoliu a stack of talismans: " The silent explosion spell means that anything that wants to harm you will never come back."

In the evening, when Shi Xiaoliu closed the courtyard door, he looked outside and found the lanterns hanging at the entrances of each courtyard swaying in the wind.

He was a little surprised. The lantern that he originally wanted to carry into the yard hung it back up again.

He closed the courtyard door and whispered to Master Decheng: "No one has taken the lantern home, so I haven't taken it back."

Master Decheng sighed: "There are smart people on this street, let's just follow them."

When Shi Xiaoliu returned to the backyard, he saw Shi Zelan sitting under the eaves. He walked over and whispered, "Why don't you go in and sleep?"

Shi Zelan pointed to Xia Yu's room: "I feel a little uneasy and want to sit under the eaves."

After hearing Shi Zelan's words, Shi Xiaoliu thought for a moment and said, "Sister Lan, it's been a long time since we had a heart-to-heart talk under the moonlight.

The moonlight is just right tonight, let's go sit on the roof? "

“We don’t go to the roof.

When I came back today, I felt that the atmosphere on the street was very depressing. Let's sit under the eaves and talk. "

"Yes, Aunt Liu lowered her voice when she spoke, and no one even lifted the lantern outside the courtyard door into the courtyard.

After hearing this, Shi Zelan looked at Shi Xiaoliu curiously: "I'll open the courtyard door and take a look."

Nowadays, Shi Zelan is accustomed to looking far away without her consciousness. She went to the front yard, opened the yard door, and saw the lanterns swaying outside the yard doors of the neighbors on the left and right.

She said to Shi Xiaoliu at the courtyard gate: "Let's go for a walk on the street."

Shi Xiaoliu closed the courtyard door with his backhand, and the two of them walked lightly on the street. From the street to the end of the street, they saw the lanterns hanging on every house, and they looked at each other.

Shi Zelan took out a stack of talismans and handed them to Shi Xiaoliu: "We put the peace talisman and the purification talisman on the lanterns, which can just keep the peace of each family's courtyard."

They walked from the end of the street to the street, and then they returned home with peace of mind. They also put peace and purification charms on their lanterns.

Shi Zelan felt much more at ease now. She said good night to Shi Xiaoliu, and then they went back to their rooms to sleep.

That night, the wind was blowing violently, and there was a faint crackling sound in the wind, but the people on this street spent the night peacefully.

When those who got up early took back their lanterns, they felt that their lanterns were much brighter than usual after being blown out all night.

At noon, either early or late, Shi Xiaoliu went to get the lantern hanging outside the courtyard door.

After Aunt Liu saw him, she smiled and said to him: "Xiao Liu, please stay safe, please don't bring lanterns into the yard these days.

I didn't even see you or Xiaolan yesterday, and I didn't have time to tell you. "

Shi Xiaoliu laughed: "Auntie, I almost came back with the lantern last night, but I saw that none of you took the lantern back to the yard, so I followed your example."

"Xiao Liu, smart."

Aunt Liu couldn't help but praise Shi Xiaoliu and asked: "What has Xiaolan been busy at home these days?"
