Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 387 The Lu family’s guest 2
"Run slowly, there are flowers, plants and trees everywhere in this garden, it will be bad if you accidentally bump into a tree." Ye Qiongdan bent down and looked at the child who was looking at her, and said kindly.

"Understood." Several children nodded in unison.

"Go and play." Ye Qiongdan waved to them.

Several children looked at each other, then trotted away again.

Soon they forgot the previous episode and played wildly in the garden. One of the children who was particularly naughty even pulled petals all over the ground.

Ye Qiongdan went to the gazebo in the middle of the lake, and bowed to the three old men.

"You're welcome," Mr. Lu said with a smile, "today is sunny and clear, which is suitable for boating on the lake and admiring the lotus flowers in the lake. You can also fish in the middle of the lake and catch one or two plump fish, so that the kitchen can enjoy the night with lotus root. Wouldn't it be delicious if they were stewed together?"

"What Mr. Lu said is very true." Ye Qiongdan nodded spontaneously.

"I'm speaking for Lao Zhang," Mr. Lu said with a smile, "Old Zhang has two major hobbies in his life. One is to appreciate jade, and the other is to taste delicious food. He often comes to my Lu residence as a guest on weekdays. See you My lake is empty, and there are not many fish, so people brought many kinds of fish fry over and put them in my lake, and now a year has passed, and many fish have grown up."

"Eating and drinking are two words in life, how can you make me so vulgar? Don't saints eat or drink?" Mr. Zhang scolded, "Life is only a few decades, instead of embarrassing yourself with simple food, how about Serving yourself with delicious food and drink every day, this life is not in vain."

"Mr. Zhang is really a man of great wisdom." Ye Qiongdan praised.

"He's just a greedy old man." Old Man Lu curled his lips, and Old Man Luo nodded approvingly.

The servant on the side put a small boat down, and Ye Qiongdan let the three old people get on the boat first, and then went up by himself, and sat cross-legged with them at the tea table on the deck.

At this time, melon and fruit snacks, fragrant tea, and even a chessboard have been set up on the tea table.

A servant in charge of the ferry stood at the front, propped up the fishing boat with a long bamboo pole, pushed aside layers of lotus leaves, disturbed the lotus blossoms, and rowed towards the other end of the lake.

The layers of lotus leaves grow taller than a person. The boat in the lotus lake is like walking through a low forest. Elegant patterns.

There are butterflies dancing among the lotus. The fragrance of the lotus is very pleasant, making people intoxicated and nowhere to go.

But at this moment, the child on the other side escaped the sight of the adults, ran to a remote corner, and hid in a thick vine.

"What are we doing here?" Ronaldinho asked.

"Let's come here to discuss important matters." Xiao Zhang put a finger on his lips, motioning everyone to lower their voices.

"What's the big deal to discuss? Do you need to be so mysterious? You have to stay out of the sight of all the adults. What if you are in danger?" Xiao Luo frowned and said with some displeasure.

"How many times have you been to Grandpa Lu's house? Is there any danger here? You have to be watched by adults all the time? I don't even think about how old you are, you are ashamed!" Xiao Zhang stretched out his hand Shaved.

"You're just ashamed, I'm just afraid of being scolded by my grandfather," Xiao Luo became a little angry, "tell me why you called us here? If you don't say anything else, I'm going to leave. "

"What do you mean I called you here? He told me about this first," Xiao Zhang pointed to Xiao Lu, "Xiao Lu told me that there are some talisman symbols in Grandpa Lu's study. Paper is amazing."

"Amulet paper?" Xiao Luo shook his head, "My father and mother told me that there are no gods and ghosts in this world, and told me not to believe in those things. I always follow Grandpa Lu to believe in those ghosts and gods. If there are ghosts in this world, how many people have died in the world for thousands of years? Then we are living under the same roof with ghosts day and night? Besides, there are unavoidable wrongful convictions in this world, and there are a lot of beheaded souls in Caishikou, why haven't they asked the official to ask for their lives?"

"Xiao Lu said that his great-grandfather really saw ghosts before. The reason why we haven't seen ghosts is because we haven't opened the yin and yang eyes. As long as we burn those talisman papers and drink them in water, we can I saw a ghost." Xiao Zhang said confidently.

"Nonsense." Ronaldinho pouted.

"Is it nonsense, let's go and see? If you don't go, you are a coward!" Xiao Zhang spoke louder.

Xiao Luo quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Speak softly, if you lure the adults over and find that we have escaped their sight without permission, they will tell our great-grandpa that we must go back be trained."

"Then are you going or not? If you don't, you're a coward!" Xiao Zhang took his hand away.

"What do you think?" Xiao Luo looked at Xiao Lu.

"Of course I want to try it," Xiao Lu said enthusiastically, "Let me tell you a story."

When the two children heard that Xiao Lu wanted to tell a story, they nodded immediately.

"In the past, my great-grandfather never believed in ghosts and gods. He was only obsessed with appreciating jade. Gradually, he has made great achievements in this field over the years. He is not only a master in appreciating jade, but also a master in selecting rough stones. Live like this day after day, until one day..." Xiao Lu paused for a moment.

"What happened one day?" Xiao Zhang asked quickly.

Ronaldinho also looked at him expectantly.

"Until one day, my great-grandpa was stopped by someone on a remote path on his way to visit a reclusive friend in a carriage. Grandpa was a little unhappy when he saw that he was about to miss the inn twenty miles away."

"Then you met a beautiful white vixen?" Xiao Zhang asked.

"Then you met a very scary female ghost hanging from a crooked neck tree?" Xiao Luo asked.

"Neither of them," Xiao Lu shook his head, "The one who stopped my great-grandfather's carriage was a Taoist expert. That expert was wearing a Taoist robe, with a fairy-like character and a childlike face. He entrusted a dream, asking him to wait in this remote place this evening to rescue a predestined person."

"Rescue? Was your great-grandfather in danger at that time?" Xiao Zhang simply reached out and swept the grass behind the vines, sat down directly, and looked at him with piercing eyes.

"No, my great-grandfather had a very good time." Xiao Lu said.

Disappointment immediately appeared in the eyes of the two children, and they felt that hearing this story was extremely boring.

"However, the expert told my great-grandfather that there are dirty things in the Lu family compound, which should have been brought in from the outside. The dirty things have come to a strange place and are still dormant in the dark, waiting for him to see them. After understanding the situation in the Lu Family Courtyard, we will take action against the people in the Lu Family Courtyard, and then the entire Lu Family Courtyard will be in disaster."

The two children gasped when they heard this.

"Really?" they asked in unison.

"Of course my grandpa doesn't believe it, so let this expert leave quickly, don't block the mountain road here, so that he can't advance or retreat," Xiao Lu continued, "At this time, the expert handed him a stack of talisman papers, The expert told him that if he wanted to see if there was any dirt in the Huo family's compound, he would take out a piece of talisman and burn it, then mix it with water and drink it. After that, you can open your ghost eyes and see ghosts."

"Ah!" The two children turned pale with shock, immersed in the story, "Then what happened later? Tell me!"

"Later, my great-grandfather certainly didn't take his words to heart!"

There was a look of disappointment in the eyes of the two children.

"But don't worry, this story is not over yet," Xiao Lu said hastily, "My great-grandfather finished visiting that hermit friend, and when he returned to the Lu family's compound, he casually took out the thick stack of talismans. The paper was thrown into the drawer of the study, and I didn’t care about it anymore. Later, after about half a month, one day, when my great-grandpa was looking for something in the drawer of the study, he saw this stack of talisman papers, so I just remembered this. My great-grandfather was dubious, so he took out a talisman paper, lit the talisman paper again, burned it to ashes, mixed it with water, and drank it."

"And then?" the two children asked impatiently.

"And after a whole hour, my great-grandfather didn't see any vision."

"Cut!" The two children curled their lips in disappointment.

"But an hour later, my great-grandfather saw a ghost! A very scary ghost! My great-grandfather turned pale with fright, fell off his chair, and started yelling! But when the servants came in, they couldn't see anything. not see!"

"My God!" The two children covered their mouths with their hands.

"After my great-grandfather saw the ghost, he realized that what the expert said was true, so he asked his servants to prepare the carriage immediately, and took the carriage to the remote path where he visited his friend last time. There I saw a tall man sitting under a tree and meditating."

"As soon as the expert saw my great-grandfather coming, he immediately opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and pinched his fingers, and said with a slight smile: 'The old man knew you were coming back today, because the gods gave me another dream last night. How about it? Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world now?" My great-grandfather climbed down from the carriage with all hands and feet, quickly apologized to the expert, and said to the expert: "I offended the expert because I didn't know Taishan. Also ask an expert to save me.'”

"And then?" The two children asked hastily.

"Then the expert helped my great-grandfather up, and he readily agreed, and went to the Lu Family Courtyard with my great-grandfather, and performed a grand ceremony in the Lu Family Courtyard, where the ghost I was expelled. After that, my great-grandfather began to believe that there are ghosts in this world, and he had more and more frequent contacts with the expert. This expert would come to my house every year to do a grand French ceremony. Sell ​​some very valuable protective items to the people in the Lu family compound."

"Wow, this story is so bizarre," Xiao Zhang exclaimed, "They all say that children can see ghosts, but I've never seen one. Maybe it's because I'm a boy, so I have a strong yang energy. By the way , I'm really curious about ghosts, Lu Lu, didn't you say that there are still a lot of talisman papers left? Let's go to the study now to have a look."

"Just go to the study room to have a look?" Ronaldinho asked in surprise.

"Of course, burn the talisman paper and mix it with water to drink after reading it," Xiao Zhang asked naturally, "Aren't you curious? Oh, I get it, you are a coward."

"Who said I was a coward?" Ronaldinho blushed.

"If you are not a coward, you can go with us!" Xiao Zhang said provocatively.

Ronaldinho was angry, but he couldn't refute, so he nodded.
