Records of Strange People and Strange Events in the Old Mansion

Chapter 28 Emperor

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's smile on his face, Zhu Badger got angry and cursed: "Well, you Zhu Chongba, aren't you just a cattle herder? If you dare to play tricks in front of me, be careful I will make you immortal forever."

"Fairy, calm down, fairy, calm down. How dare I play tricks in front of the fairy? I am indeed happy for the fairy. There are so many heavenly immortals and mortal masters protecting the fairy." Zhu Yuanzhang stopped smiling.

Zhu Badger was not relieved and continued to scold: "Are you really happy for me? Are you happy for yourself? It's only because of my good that you can be reincarnated, right?"

"Yes, yes, the fairy is really smart, virtuous and pure..." "Don't flatter me, I'm just Ma Yasha's daughter. Who blew the wind to send me and the dogs home?" Zhu Badger said. Cut off Zhu Yuanzhang. After Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the door and window for a while, he replied in a low voice: "Fairy, the secret must not be leaked. I dare not say it without permission."

"Bah, are you still the murderous Emperor Hongwu? Is there anything you dare not say or do you dare not do? Show your courage to stick to your word and follow the golden rule." Zhu Badger glared at Zhu Yuanzhang fiercely. One glance.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked aggrieved, glanced at Chou Yu and said: "The fairy doesn't know something. I am trapped in the underworld, even if it is overwhelming, I can't use my fists. I am not as good as Chou Yu, a palace maid."

"Stop talking nonsense, get out of here if you don't tell me!" Zhu Badger kicked Zhu Yuanzhang, but for some reason, Zhu Yuanzhang was clearly right in front of him and kicked out, but did not hit him.

Chouyu spoke: "Fairy, since he is here, he must have something to do. You first ask him why he is here?"

"You're right, Zhu Chongba, why do you, the emperor, suddenly show up?" Zhu Badger felt that what Chouyu said made sense.

Zhu Yuanzhang replied: "Fairy, I hope to show up to see you day and night, but there is always no chance. Today, I am fortunate to have the two of you shed tears, and the teardrops merged, and I was lucky enough to be able to show up."

"Fart again, didn't you reveal yourself through a dream last time?" Zhu Badger's face darkened.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly explained: "Fairy, you have been too busy and tired during this period. Do you still have time to sleep? Even if you sleep, you just squint for a while and have no dreams at all. How can I enter your dream? Also, you have dreams, dreams. I may not be included in it.”

"Nao Xi Tie Lao, what did I dream about you, old man? Tell me, what are you doing here now?" Zhu Badger wanted to laugh.

Seeing that Zhu Badger's tone had softened, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile on his face: "Fairy, every inch of time is worth an inch of gold, so you have to hurry up and get to heaven."

"What did you say? God? What kind of heaven should I go to?" Zhu Badger turned his head and said to Chou Yu: "Ignore him, tell me what kind of trick Zhu Hu did to me at that time? What happened to me and the dogs?" My son fainted? Also, which god blew the wind and saved me and the dogs?"

Just as Chou Yu was about to answer, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to speak first: "Fairy, please listen to what I have to say first. I finally showed up and I must make it clear to you."

"Hey, who doesn't want you to make it clear? The fairy has asked you so many times, you are either pointing east or west, or you are flattering me. I really don't know how you went from a cowherd to the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. What?" Chouyu pouted.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not take Chouyu seriously, and said with a straight face: "Don't think that because you betrayed the judge of the underworld and possessed Ma Yaksha to serve the fairy, you can not take me, my former master, seriously. I am warning you, Ma Yaksha is my wife and horse." In this life, Bigfoot, I can prevent you from possessing me at any time. Also, back then, you framed Chouzhu and suffered Ling Chi, which implicated me in being trapped in the underworld. As the culprit, I will not spare you."

"Yo yo yo, I'm so scared." Chou Yu pretended to be scared. After trembling for a while, she raised her hand and pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang and cursed: "Zhu Chongba, don't pretend to be a good person in front of the fairy. That's right, when At that time, I couldn't see Chou Zhu's ingenuity, and I stuck a needle in your collar out of my mind. But you indiscriminately issued the order to Ling Chi Chou Zhu, and it was your fault. As the Ming Emperor, you should not have ordered Dali Temple to find out the truth first. Do you want to make another decision? Even if the needle was really stuck by Chou Zhu, you only got some blood, and Chou Zhu will not die for her crime."

"What you say is nice now, why didn't you stand up and admit that you, a bitch, did it then? The crime of deceiving the emperor will be punished immediately, and you should be killed!" Zhu Yuanzhang was still the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in front of Chou Yu.

Chouyu showed no sign of weakness. Huo Di stood up and asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "Did you give me a chance to surrender? Do you know how I died?"

"Why didn't I give you a chance to surrender? How could I, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, care about the life and death of a little palace maid like you? Humph!" Zhu Yuanzhang exhaled through his nose.

Chouyu was so angry that she was trembling all over, tears welling up in her eyes, and she sobbed: "I remember when you saw blood on your neck, you couldn't help but tell Lingchi Chouzhu, the director of the inner palace, to Lingchi Chouzhu, and you didn't even listen to Queen Ma's advice. How could I have the chance to surrender to you?" ? When I learned that Chou Zhu had been imprisoned by you, I was so devastated that I regretted it so much that I bumped my head into the corner of the case and died as an atonement to Chou Zhu. But as for you, you didn’t even let Chou Zhu’s body be cleaned up. A pile of withered bones is still trapped in Qinhuai. Under the mud of the river. Although Chouzhu was one of the nine immortals in heaven in his previous life, in this life he can only suffer injustice in this old house."

"You, you, you are talking nonsense, you are spouting blood, I have the virtue of a good life, and my kindness is known to the world. The cause of the disaster is you, don't make excuses in vain, even if you die in a corner, it will not be able to offset your serious crime. , I will punish you today!" Zhu Yuanzhang's face was extremely ferocious.

Chouyu stopped crying and sneered: "Are you kind? Do you have the virtue of a good life? You are worse than King Zhou. You are just as violent as him, and you are as cruel to the people as him. Not to mention other things. , do you still remember how many of the founding heroes died at your hands? They fought bloody battles for you, went through life and death, and conquered the Ming Dynasty. And you? After sitting on the dragon throne, you are worried that one day they will turn against you because of their high power. Just kill them one by one on unfounded charges, are you still a human being? Zhu Chongba, I warn you, even if the fairy ascends to heaven, you will never be able to survive."

"Stinky maid, it's useless for you to curse me. The fairy will definitely ascend to heaven, and I will definitely be able to be reincarnated. But you, if the King of Hell doesn't send you to the eighteenth level of hell, I will force you to the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, and you will never be able to be reincarnated for generations to come." Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. .

Zhu Badger heard it funny at first, and thought to himself, it's quite funny that the ugly old man and Chou Yu are scolding each other. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me whether the ugly pearl is ugly or not. You say that Chou Zhu is my previous life, but I have no impression of it, and it doesn’t matter to me at all. As for my predecessor being the Nine Immortals in Heaven, I don’t even care. I only care that others now call me the Eight Badger Immortals. I call myself the Nine Immortals, and the donkeys in charge of eight pig badgers and eight thin dogs can’t come to the village. Nine Immortals.

Chou Yu cried bitterly, and Zhu Yuanzhang's fierce look was revealed. Zhu Badger became angry, slapped the bed board and scolded: "Shut up!" Chou Yu was so frightened that her legs softened, and she knelt on the ground with a thump. Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head in a hurry, not even daring to express his anger.

"I didn't expect that you, an ugly old man, are so vicious. You are not even an emperor. I think you are worse than Zhu Hu and Tian Lezi. I don't want to see you again." Zhu Badger still doesn't believe that the old man in front of him can really do this. Is it Zhu Yuanzhang?
"Farewell, farewell, fairy, calm down. Fairy, calm down. It's all because I was angered by this evil woman. I lost my composure and spoke uncontrollably. Please forgive me. If the fairy never sees me again, I will never be reincarnated. Fairy Gentle and kind-hearted, the fairy will definitely help people transcend their lives." Zhu Yuanzhang burst into tears.

"Evil girl? Chouyu serves me sincerely, and corrects her mistakes when she realizes them. You only care about being reincarnated, and you are not even willing to kneel down and admit your mistakes. Should I help you to be reincarnated? Don't even think about it!" Zhu Badger became even more angry.

"Fairy, it's not that I don't want to kneel down, it's that I can't, because I am the emperor. Fairy, if you are not afraid of the earth shaking, I will kneel down right now." Zhu Yuanzhang lifted up his dragon robe and was about to kneel down when a bolt of lightning struck the room.

A flash of lightning was followed by a muffled thunder, followed by strong winds and heavy rain.

Come to think of it, what kind of lightning is going on in this winter? What kind of thunder? Is it raining so heavily? Zhu Badger subconsciously looked at the bluestone window lattice. The rain washed away the snow on the roof, and it fell crackling down. It was not ordinary scary.

Is it okay for Lu Huan to sleep alone upstairs? Zhu Badger looked away from the window. There was no Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him, not even Chouyu. Ma Yasha was lying on the bed snoring like thunder.

The brain is in prison, what happened? Zhu Badger covered Mayasha with a quilt, turned off the light and closed the door and went upstairs. Upstairs in the east room, Lu Huan was sleeping soundly. Nao Xi is in prison, such a big thunder can't wake you up? It seems that you are the fairy.

The red badger went downstairs and returned to his room. Eight pig badgers and eight thin dogs immediately surrounded him. They seemed to be very sensitive to the lightning, thunder and heavy rain outside. One by one, their bodies gathered at the feet of the red badger, their eyes alert. Staring at the window lattice.

"It's okay. Eat enough and go to bed." Zhu Badger filled Pig Badger and Xin Quan with their favorite sweet potato slices mixed with chicken nuggets and then walked to the window.

The night outside the window is deep and dark, and lightning occasionally tears through the endless darkness. The thunder was in my ears, the heavy rain and snow hit the eaves, and the snow foam flew to the window. Could it be that the old emperor wants to kneel down to me and offend the heavens, so that there will be lightning, thunder and heavy rain in the nine cold days? is it possible? Maybe or not.

If possible, God would have forgiven Zhu Chongba long ago and would not have to wait for me to ascend to heaven before he could be reborn. It is impossible for me to ascend to heaven. How can I ascend to heaven? Although I call myself the Nine Immortals, I called myself the Nine Immortals because I was tired of people calling me the Eight Badger Immortals.

No, this Chouyu and Zhu Yuanzhang both called me Nine Immortals. Last time, Lady Guanyin also called me Nine Immortals. Could it be that my predecessor was really Nine Immortals, and my previous life was Chouzhu, the palace maid of the Ming Dynasty? Then my pig badgers and thin dogs are all fairy badgers and fairy dogs?
"Hey, why don't you eat?" Zhu Badger turned around and saw eight pig badgers and eight small dogs looking up out of the window. The sweet potato slices mixed with chicken nuggets didn't eat a bite.

This potato chips mixed with chicken nuggets is carefully made by Chouyu based on the taste of pig badgers and thin dogs. Sweet potatoes are the best sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes of Donkey Bu Cun are famous for their high starch and sugar content. The chicken is a string of chickens hanging on bamboo poles, pure August osmanthus chicken in the mountains.

If it had been in the past, within a minute, the dogs and badgers in a large bowl of sweet potato chips mixed with chicken nuggets would have been wiped out.

It seems that the lightning is so evil, the thunder is weird, and the rain is so mysterious. I have to go out and have a look.

Zhu Badger opened the door, and a shadow flashed from under the eaves of her house to the screen wall. The red badger chased after him, his shadow flashing towards the persimmon tree of the cross-eyed husband's house. Zhu Badger chased him again, and his shadow flashed under the eaves of the squinting husband's house and then turned toward the middle courtyard. Zhu Badger chased after him, and his shadow flashed towards the backyard until he reached the entrance of the ancestral hall. Zhu Badger chased him to the entrance of the ancestral hall, and his shadow flashed into the ancestral hall.

I wonder why the door of this ancestral hall is not locked? Zhu Badger chased him into the ancestral hall.

A flash of lightning flashed, and a person was seen standing in the center of the stage, wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat. His face could not be seen clearly, and his face seemed to be covered with a black mask. Judging from the figure, Zhu Badger was definitely the shadow that was flashing all the way over.

When the shadow saw the red badger chasing him under the stage, he jumped up, ran up the fence on the left side of the stage, and went straight from the fence to the top of the chicken coop. After a "snap", the shadow fell down and slid off the stage without a trace.

When the red badger ran onto the stage, a strong lightning flashed, followed by a big thunder, which made the red badger's ears buzzing as he stood under the roof of the chicken coop.

The top of the chicken coop on the stage is the dome of the stage, which is called "caisson" in books. The stage caisson in the ancestral hall of the old house in Lvbuo Village is shaped like an octagonal sixteen bucket arches. The sixteen bucket arches spiral upward layer by layer and shrink inward to form a spiral caisson, commonly known as the "chicken coop top". In the top, a coiled dragon coils around a bronze mirror, as if holding the moon, lifelike.

With the help of lightning, Zhu Badger saw that the bronze mirror on the top of the chicken coop had been reinstalled, and he exhaled.

Is that shadow waiting for me under the eaves of my house on purpose? Wait for me to come over and watch him install the bronze mirror?

This bronze mirror was obviously stolen from the ancestral hall by Tian Leizi and his son. What was he doing so passionately?
Judging from what he was wearing, this shadow should be the legendary Dan'er's father, the one who never sees the beginning or the end of his life.

No one in Lvbuo Village has ever really seen the true face of Daner’s father, including Daner’s mother.

When Dan'er was young, she was so beautiful that she not only captivated the country, but also was the most beautiful girl in Lvbu village. Because she was born with epilepsy and asthma, men harassed her constantly, but no one wanted to marry her. As a wife, she was still alone until her parents died.

Suddenly one day, Dan'er's mother gave birth to Dan'er. A man with a beautiful tree in Linfeng came to Lvbubu Village, stood on the hillside of the Western Mountain and announced that he was Dan'er's father.

Yushu Linfeng is a description of Dan'er's father's figure, and this description is not an exaggeration at all. A strong back and a strong waist are too much for Dan'er's father. It's so weak that it's impossible. Dan'er's father stood halfway up the Western Mountain, and even Zhu Badger's heart was pounding. In his dreams, he followed him several times in the clouds and mist, fluttering across the sky and the earth.

Although he still couldn't see the true face of Dan'er's father tonight, Zhu Badger felt extremely warm in his heart. This warmth was not only from him waiting for her under the eaves of his own home, but also from the fact that he returned the bronze mirror to its place.

Zhu Badger still couldn't figure out how Tian Leizi and his son stole the bronze mirror? There were no such high ladders in the village, and there were no ladders at the scene. However, Tian Da Lei and Tian Er Lei were clearly carrying the bronze mirror and were about to run out. If Zhu Badger hadn't arrived in time, they would have stolen it back home.

Naoxi is in jail, what are Tian Leizi and his son doing stealing this bronze mirror? Don't they have mirrors at home? There must be a mirror at home. I must have stolen it because I wanted to sell it. I was really crazy about money.

The thunder and lightning stopped, the heavy rain stopped, and the weather returned to normal. I wonder if it was because the bronze mirror was reinstalled? Zhu Badger stood in the center of the stage and thought wildly. He was a bit mentally retarded and lacked the wisdom of a fairy. A gust of cold wind blew by, and Zhu Badger couldn't help but shudder, but there was a feeling of heat in his lower abdomen.

I'm confused, why are there so many days ahead of schedule this month? No, I can't stand on the stage or in the ancestral hall at this time. Zhu Badger fled out of the ancestral hall like he was running for his life, fled to Mr. Zhu's house, and turned back to close the gate of the ancestral hall. Running back to the ancestral hall, the door was closed and hung with a big lock. Zhu Badger was completely confused.

When Zhui Daner's father entered the ancestral hall, the door of the ancestral hall was clearly unlocked. And because he had that thing on him, he hurriedly ran out of the ancestral hall without locking the door at all, or even closing it. Why was the door closed and locked now?

Zhu Badger was convinced that the shadow was Dan'er's father, because he was the only one with a body like a jade tree facing the wind. Since Shadow is Dan'er's father, why don't I go to Dan'er's house to have a look? Maybe he also went home and asked him face to face if he locked the gate of the ancestral hall?
Badger Zhu passed south of Mr. Zhu’s house and arrived at Dan’er’s house. Dan'er's house is next door to Mr. Zhu's house. The old house is the second to last one and the seventh one from the past.

Dan'er's house was dark and there was no sound at all. Only then did Zhu Badger realize how stupid his idea just now was. If that shadow is really Dan'er's father, he can't be at home. He never leaves home all year round. Who in the village wouldn't know if this donkey is not here? Even Dan'er himself said that he had never met his father.

Forget it, the bronze mirror on the stage has been reinstalled anyway, and the door of the ancestral hall has been locked. I'd better go back and have a good sleep, and ask Dan'er when he comes over. Zhu Badger thought of this and walked back.

"Clang!" The sound of the pots and pots colliding was very harsh. As soon as Zhu Badger walked under the persimmon tree of Squint Eye's in-law's house, he turned to look at the kitchen of Squint Eye's in-law's house. Two shadows disappeared from the window.

Huh, if I don’t seek revenge from you, why are you going even further? The red badger spat heavily under the persimmon tree.
