Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 730 Dissipate
Within the Zhu Mansion.

After Zhu Qian sent Li Xiuyuan to the ancestral hall, he did not leave immediately, but waited quietly in the pavilion beside him.

After reading sage books all his life, he dreamed of his grandfather appearing in a dream last night. As a descendant, he attaches great importance to it, and dare not slack off in the slightest. This Mr. Li Xiuyuan, Mr. Li, is worthy of such importance from his ancestors, but caring must have something extraordinary place.

That day by the Longyin Lake, Li Xiuyuan made the Sleeping Dragon Picture. He saw it with his own eyes. It is indeed a skill of ghosts and gods, which can be mastered by extraordinary people.

This person possesses miraculous powers, coupled with his high position and weight, he will definitely have a profound influence on the Song Dynasty in the future.

"Master, listen, there seems to be some noise coming from the ancestral hall." Suddenly, the scholar at the side heard some noise and hurriedly reminded.

Zhu Qian suddenly came back to his senses, and heard the sound of fighting from the ancestral hall separated by a wall.

"How can there be fights in the place of the ancestor's spiritual seat, that is extremely disrespectful to the ancestors, I will go and have a look." He stood up immediately, and then strode towards the ancestral hall.

But when Zhu Qian just walked to the gate of the courtyard, his eyes shrank, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he seems to have seen an old man wearing a Confucian shirt and a square hat in the ancestral hall picking up a ruler and chasing and beating Li Xiuyuan, but Li Xiuyuan didn't resist. Dodge, but the old man was very angry, and did not dodge because of his dodge

If you avoid, give up chasing.

"Master, grandpa?" Zhu Qian trembled all over, his lips moved slightly, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Suddenly, a memory of his childhood emerged. He was still an elementary school boy at that time, and his grandfather used a ruler to chase and beat himself who was lazy and didn't do his homework.

In the past, when I was young and ignorant, I only had fear and fear of grandpa, but after he reached his age, he understood everything.

I couldn't help but walked to the ancestral hall, wanting to confirm whether my grandfather had appeared.

But he had only taken two steps forward, when suddenly a gust of wind blew up in front of him, rolled up the sand and gravel on the ground, and narrowed his eyes.

Zhu Qian rubbed the fine sand in his eyes, but when he opened his eyes again, there was no trace of the old man in the ancestral hall, only Li Xiuyuan was kneeling upright in front of a portrait, slightly He bowed his head, as if he was listening.

hallucination?
He let out a long sigh in his heart, and after confirming several times, he turned and left with some disappointment.

"Master, what's happened to the morale of the ancestral hall." Several scholars and literati from the Zhu family rushed over and asked.

"Get out, everyone get out." Zhu Qian suddenly became stern. He still remembered what the ancestor said when he dreamed that no one was allowed to enter the ancestral hall to disturb him.

At this moment, inside the ancestral hall.

Li Xiuyuan obediently took the ruler from Zhu Laosan, and barely calmed down the old man's anger. He was also a little embarrassed. After all, he asked such a question that shouldn't be asked. Sometimes someone asks me like this, I guess I have the intention to kill someone
.

Fortunately, this Mr. Zhu is a literati, and the severe beatings and scoldings are just a ruler and reprimands, and there is no swearing in the market, which shows that this self-cultivation is still first-rate.

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan didn't evade anymore, Mr. Zhu slapped three times before humming lightly: "Fortunately, I'm dead now. If I'm still alive, I might have to fight you desperately."

"However... your question is not completely speculative. After all, there is no clue, and those literati will not slander the old man's innocence like this."

Li Xiuyuan was surprised and said: "Then, is there really such a thing?"

With a dark face, Mr. Zhu held back his anger and said, "But it's not what the world thinks. It's a fact that my husband and daughter-in-law conceived themselves, but that woman is not a human being. Only after my death did I know that the woman was transformed from a thousand-year-old fox spirit. Fox spirits with a human body, this kind of goblins of Taoism, once they lose their fox bodies, even gods will see them.

Without a clue, it is not difficult to cast a spell to turn yourself into a pregnant woman. "

"So, Mr. Zhu has already been tricked?" Li Xiuyuan froze for a moment.

It certainly did not happen overnight that the fox spirit sneaked into the saint's mansion, it must have been prepared and arranged long ago.

In other words, the fox spirit was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to slander Zhu Shengren and make him unable to turn over.

But to complete such a plan, Fox Spirit must not be the only one. She is only the executor, and there must be a group of huge calculators behind her.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan shuddered in his heart.

"It seems that you have already seen it. Yes, the old man was indeed tricked." Zhu Shengren stood with his hands behind his back, his expression not very good: "Ghosts, ghosts and ghosts are all-pervasive. That one time ruined the old man's reputation and gave the old man the spread of Neo-Confucianism." A fatal blow, how can I not be innocent, clean
How to make people believe?In the final analysis, the old man was still too bookish back then, and wanted to carry forward his ideas only with his passion, and he still seemed too fragile without the support of force. "

After being silent for a while, he said again: "So what you have done is very good. You have ghosts and gods from all directions under your command, you hold tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in your hands, and your house is run by a fox girl with a thousand years of practice. Later, from the text, a solid foundation was laid, and such a background is to face any

Threats, plots are not afraid. "

"Old Zhu was joking. I practice martial arts, practice dharma, and control ghosts and gods, just to make some people who don't want to reason with me listen to my reasoning. The world is big, and my fist is the biggest. After all, what if I don't have enough force and just rely on words? Can persuade people? Convincing people with reason is important, but there is no force
Deterrence seemed too hollow. "Li Xiuyuan said.

"Although the words are vulgar, they are very reasonable." Zhu Shengren said: "Although there are some ideas that I really want to continue discussing with you, but the time for this old man to stay in this world is running out, and I will be reincarnated after I finish talking If you go, everything before and after death has nothing to do with the old man,
Come here with your ears. "

He sighed, and then told Li Xiuyuan some advice.

Li Xiuyuan's face showed surprise when he heard it, then he became serious again, and finally hesitantly appeared on his face, and then immediately fell into silence again.

"That's all I want to say. You can do it yourself. I'll leave this world to you. This is all I can do for you." Zhu Shengren said slowly, and then his body gradually disappeared, turning into a body again. There was a puff of green smoke, and the incense was blown away in the ancestral hall.

"Remember, remember, don't go against God's will. Everything in the world has its own reasons. Even a saint can only follow the sky. What we can do is to change the way of the world instead of disobeying the way of the world. Everything must go with the flow. There are some truths you must understand in advance, otherwise wait until the day you wake up
It's too late, this is what the old man is most worried about."

Zhu Shengren's body completely turned into incense and disappeared, but in the end when he looked at Li Xiuyuan's eyes, he revealed a touch of worry, as if he was not very relieved that this young saint was wandering in the world.

But he was already dead, and he couldn't give any real help except for a few words of advice, so he could only take this worry away from the world.

"Are you gone?" Li Xiuyuan watched Zhu Shengren disappear.

He knew that Zhu Shengren would never appear again from now on, and the reason why he stayed in the human world in the body of ghosts and gods was also because he was waiting for himself to appear.

Now that the wish has been fulfilled, the last trace of obsession to stay in the world has disappeared.

The portrait hanging on the wall swaying with the wind regained its tranquility, no longer showing magic, and becoming ordinary.

Li Xiuyuan sat quietly in front of this portrait for half an hour, reminiscing about Zhu Shengren's exhortations before, and wrote down every word he said, not daring to forget it in his heart, and stood up only after making sure there was nothing wrong.

Facing the portrait of Zhu Shengren, he bowed his hands, gave a solemn salute, and then turned and left without saying a word.

All that needs to be said has been said, no more to say
After leaving the ancestral hall, he had achieved the purpose of his trip, and there was no need to disturb Zhu's residence any longer. After saying goodbye to Old Master Zhu Qian, he said goodbye to Zhu Yu and left Zhu's residence.

As for Qingfeng and Yuechi who were traveling together before, they have already gone back.

After all, it was already dark, and they couldn't wait any longer because of their reputation, so they had to go back home first.

Li Xiuyuan was walking on the dark street, thunder was rolling in the sky, and he followed him all the way.

He knew that it was the Thunder God in the sky protecting him, patrolling the ghosts and spirits that might appear at any time around him, and if any evil spirits approached him, they would be hit by thunder from the sky.

Knowing that Shi Hu and the national teacher were hooking up together, Li Xiuyuan paid the utmost attention to his own safety.

It's not that he is afraid of death, but that the victory and defeat with the enemy is within this month, so he has to be cautious. He is a person who has suffered a loss before, and he will not suffer a second time, even if his martial arts and Taoism are inferior. It has reached the extreme that the world can achieve, but it is still heavily guarded.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the danger lurking around has never been revealed.

"Young Master, are you back?" In front of the yamen, the bodyguard who was on duty at night saw Li Xiuyuan approaching, and hurriedly saluted him.

Li Xiuyuan patted them on the shoulder: "Thanks for your hard work, the safety of the yamen at night is up to you."

The two bodyguards were flattered and hurriedly said: "It's only natural to serve the young master."

Li Xiuyuan nodded, smiled and entered the Yamen.

But when he went to the government office to take a rest, he saw a candle lamp burning in a study room in the government office, and a figure was reflected on the window.

When I went in, I saw that it was Qiu Rong who was writing at the desk, handling official business for him?

"Miss Qiurong, why are you still in the yamen?" Li Xiuyuan asked in surprise.

"Ah, Mr. Li." Qiu Rong was startled, and hurriedly threw a pen to startle, a little at a loss.
