Take your sister to catch a ghost

Chapter 247
Meng Ze cooked very slowly, and took more than an hour to bring them out.

I looked at his hands and face, the palms were full of calluses, as long as I made some expressions, the calluses on his face would show up.

He is old too...

Meng Ze knew that I was looking at him, and smiled: "Everyone will grow old. The group leader gathered us together more than ten years ago. At that time, we were young and frivolous, full of ambitions, thinking that we could change the decline of Taoism with our own power, but Now...hehe, we will die, we will be injured, we are no longer young."

After Meng Ze finished speaking, he stared at the rice bowl for a while, and then said: "I can't hold on any longer, the burden of the old priest is on my shoulders, and I can hardly breathe."

As he spoke, his voice became hoarse, and he touched the corners of his eyes with a dry hand: "You joined the group only a month later than us, I remember that you asked questions in the group every day, and now you also say In just a few words... we can't treat you as such a brat anymore."

I chuckled: "Actually, we are still young."

"Really?" Meng Ze put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, stretched out his hand to pull on my head, and then asked me with a white hair, "What is this?"

I pursed my mouth and bowed my head to eat.

In fact, Meng Ze's cooking is not very delicious. I also know, how can he be so good as a big man?Just enough to fill your stomach.

During the meal, he told us about the current basic situation of the old priests. There are still more than 60 people in the core of the old priests. The old generation has basically passed away. The younger generation, and Meng Ze is the most capable among the younger generation, so Meng Ze naturally became the head of the old priest.

Xiaoxi seldom spoke since just now. After Meng Ze finished talking to me, he turned to look at Xiaoxi and said, "At that time, you posted photos of Xiaoxi in the group every day, showing us how well-behaved and obedient she is... ...Now that she is so old, if she was ten or twenty years earlier, someone would have come to propose marriage at her young age."

"She's still young," I said.

"It's not too young, even a little girl now, at this age, it's time to fall in love." Meng Ze said that he seemed to think of a funny thing here, and said with a smile, "At that time, we said in the group every day that you love you so much. Sister, why don't you marry her when she grows up? Looking at the two of you now, the more you look, the better you match. I think you might as well get married in our night punishment village. We have all the wedding outfits here. There has been no happy event in the village for a long time. If you give me so much joy, our old masters may develop."

Meng Ze chattered, Xiaoxi buried her head, her face became pink, and she was embarrassed by Meng Ze's words.

I gave Meng Ze a blank look: "We are brother and sister, don't talk nonsense."

"I don't think so, but once I say it, I won't be able to stop. No, if you have that intention, you must hold a wedding in our village." Meng Ze became more and more energetic as he spoke, and then asked Xiaoxi: "Well, Xiaoxi, do you like that old Zhang?"

Meng Ze called me Lao Zhang, obviously denying my brother-sister relationship with her.

Xiaoxi raised her head, her face was blushing, she looked shy, but she was too embarrassed to answer.

Meng Ze laughed: "Although I seldom go down the mountain, I can tell what you young people think by just looking at your expressions. You like your brother, right? Come with me, and I'll show you something. "

After talking, Meng Ze got up and pulled Xiao Xi up, and took her out of the room regardless of Xiao Xi's willingness or not.

I also put down the bowl and chopsticks and followed.

They walked to the top of the village. All the villagers greeted Meng Ze along the way, and Meng Zen nodded.

"What is Master Meng going to do?" asked the villagers who had finished their farm work and went home for lunch.

Meng Ze looked happy, laughed and said, "There is going to be a happy event in our village."

"What kind of happy event? It makes you laugh so happily."

"My apprentice is getting married, haha!"

I was about to say something later, but Xiaoxi turned her head and looked at me with a blushing face. There were expectations and hopes in her eyes that I had never seen before, especially the one I had never seen in her. I have never seen the happiness in other people's eyes.

Looking at her eyes, I seemed to be melted, and now I don't want to disobey her by saying a bad word, even if I am broken and disabled, I can't bear to disturb the happiness in her eyes.

"This is your apprentice Xiaoxi that you often tell us, isn't it?" The villagers looked at Xiaoxi with a look of surprise when they heard this, and hurried forward to hold Xiaoxi's hand, and said with a grin , "Come on, show uncle, oh, she is really handsome, just like a fairy girl in the sky."

When he said that, Xiao Xi felt even more embarrassed, her face turned red, and she lowered her head.

"Haha." Meng Ze also laughed happily, and I have never seen such joy in his eyes.

"I've told you a long time ago that my two apprentices, one born wise and powerful, and the other looking like a fairy, are originally a couple whose names were carved on the Sansheng Stone, and they were created by heaven and earth."

I stood behind and shook my head, where there was a name on the Sansheng Stone, and I was talking nonsense there.

This time the uncle saw me again and walked towards me with a smile still on his face. He came over and patted me on the shoulder: "Very nice man, Meng Ze didn't miss him, he always shows off in front of us." I have a good apprentice, and I thought he was bragging when he said how powerful his apprentice was, but it turned out to be true. The young man is not bad, really not bad.”

He is my elder, and it was fine to call me a young man, but now it is very awkward because I am already in my 30s.

"Oh, let's not talk about it now. I'll take them to see something. You go home for dinner first, and then gather the people in the village. I'll ask them to say hello to the people in the village one by one."

"Okay, okay, there hasn't been any happy events in the village for a long time, I'll call them right away." Abo narrowed his eyes.

"Well, maybe I'm too... anxious!" Judging from what they said, this seems to have become a certainty.

Xiaoxi listened to me, and looked up at me, her eyes were very blurred, it was this kind of frailty that immediately made my bones go numb, and I was choked up again for a while.

After Abo left, Meng Ze took Xiaoxi to the front again.

Arriving under a very old building, Meng Ze said to Xiaoxi: "When we, the people of the Su Shi sect get married, they have to complete the wedding in this ancestral hall that has been passed down from generation to generation. The ancestors of the Su Shi will bless every couple. A good marriage for a hundred years."

After Meng Ze gave a brief introduction, he dragged Xiaoxi into the room.

I looked up, and there was a plaque on it that had turned brown, saying 'Su Shi Ancestral Hall', and I followed it in.

The ancestral hall is very large, and there is a plaque in front of it, which says it has a long history. There are portraits of two people hanging directly below the plaque, a man and a woman. people.

Sushi belongs to Zhengyi, Zhengyi does not taboo about these things, and can get married, but some Taoists still choose to die alone because of karma.

In front of the portrait is a large black case, on which various objects of worship are placed.

In addition to these in the room, there is a table above and chairs on both sides.

After Mengze and Xiaoxi entered the room, they walked to the left.

I glanced at the ancestral hall, and then stared at Meng Ze's movements.

Meng Ze ran to a large cabinet on the left side of the room, reached out his hand and took out a very old key from his pocket, unlocked the lock on the top of the cabinet, and then took out a box from inside.

Instead of opening it immediately, he beckoned to me: "Zhang Yuan, come here."

I froze for a moment, then walked over.

Only then did Meng Ze carefully insert the other key into the lock hole, moving very slowly, as if a little force would break the contents inside.

Meng Ze's eyes were full of love, and he said: "Our old scholars are weak, and our ancestors left nothing behind, only this set of wedding outfits. We have always regarded it as a treasure, and no one else can touch it. Now Since I am the master, I will give it to you two, and you should not go against my will."

As Meng Ze spoke, he opened the box, inside were two sets of red silk clothes neatly folded, and then there was Feng Guanxia quilt and a pair of faint green bracelets.
