Take your sister to catch a ghost

Chapter 264

"First, have you ever heard the legend about the Sansheng Stone?"

After I finished asking, Yuan Tong was still in that posture, very proud, but he subconsciously shook his head and already betrayed him.

"Second question, where did that voodoo doll go?"

He still shook his head.

I also shook my head, and then chanted the soul-suppressing curse. He screamed a few times and disappeared from here.

Jia Mingxuan was completely stunned, and I didn't bother to see him, so I bent down and lifted him up from the ground, then threw him into the distance with all my strength, and his future fate didn't care about my business.

After the two tumors were resolved, I clapped my hands, looked at the edge of the basin, and said, "Go, take a stroll, and go to Taiyitang in the evening."

The two of them hummed, and then wandered around the place.

The new ghosts here have almost been sucked up. I thought there were a lot of ghosts here, but now it looks a little deserted.

Coming here is not without gain, at least I found food to fill my stomach here.

In the evening, I met a group of ghosts and ghosts. They were all newcomers, chatting nonsense together.

I looked at the sky, and although the sun has set here, it should not be outside the basin, so I simply sat on the outermost edge and listened to the old man telling stories to everyone.

Xiaoxi and Lin Qu also sat and listened to the old man.

The old man first introduced his background. He was from a small town not far from Jiuchong Mountain, and the things he told were also stories handed down from that town.

"Our place was called 'Yongji County' in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It used to be very prosperous, but now it has declined." The old man said, "There have been many capable people in the county, such as Liuji, Liuqiu, Jingbo, Yuan Zhihong, but these are not the most powerful, the most powerful is that person."

"Who is it?" asked the onlookers.

The old man paused for a moment before saying: "We have a 'Pujiu Temple' there, so we have to start with this Pujiu Temple."

"There used to be a book in the town called "Yongji Shitong", which was circulated all the time, but it was burned during the Cultural Revolution. According to the old man who read this book, it recorded a very important person. The name is 'Li Chenying'."

As soon as I mentioned this name, my pupils immediately dilated. Isn't Li Chenying a scholar?Could it be that the person they are talking about is a scholar?
Wanting to figure this out, I continued to listen.

"This book records that Li Chenying's father is Li Yuan, a local official. When Li's mother was pregnant with Li Chenying, it hadn't rained in Yongji for half a year, and she couldn't survive. At this time, Li Chenying was born. On the night of his birth, many people nearby said that they dreamed that a star with a long tail descended to their place. At that time, the villagers went out to look for it, but they found that the roof of Li Yuan’s house was shining. They all knew that When the stars descended to the Li family, they all went back. They woke up the next day and learned that Mr. Li was born. They all remembered the dream they had last night. At that time, it was rumored in the county that Mr. Li was a star official from the sky. That is, on the morning of the second day after he was born, there was a sudden heavy rain in Yongji County, which hadn't rained for half a year, and they even regarded Mr. Li as a god-man."

At this point, the old ghost paused, organized his words for a while, and then said: "The Li family named this young master Li Chenying. ...One year after Li Chenying was born, the Li family entertained guests from all over the world, and on this day, an unexpected guest came to the Li family."

"Who is it?" I asked along with the ghosts.

"No one knows his name. It is recorded in the book that the man came in the evening. He was wearing a red official robe and had a beard all over his face. The owner of the family is a humble person, he was welcome to come in for a drink, but he didn't mind, so he sat down when he came in."

"There was a custom in Yongji County at that time, that is, when a newborn baby is one year old, they have to be caught for a week. At that time, the Li family put ten things in front of Li Chenying. Can you guess which ten things are?" the old man asked. The surrounding ghosts interact.

The ghost said one sentence to another, based on some plots in the TV, I didn't guess much wrong.

"It's books, pens, seals, abacus, coins, chicken legs, onions, garlic, celery, straw, and swords." The old man affirmed the answers of the people around him and said, "After these things are ready, they are brought to Mr. Li Chenying. Just as he was about to grab them, the bearded man in a red official robe stood up and stopped them. He stepped forward and replaced the pen, seal and sword in the ten items, and replaced them with A black writing brush and a gold seal on his body and a sword he carried with him."

"What did he change for?" someone asked again.

"Let's talk about it for a while. At that time, if the gold seal was kept privately, the head would be killed. As soon as it was taken out, everyone present was frightened. Li Yuan hurriedly took out the gold seal and returned it to the man in red, and then prepared Drive him away. The man didn't leave, and put the gold seal back. As soon as he put it back, Mr. Li's family started to pick these things. Before Li Yuan could stop him, Mr. Li's family picked two of them , guess which one is it?" The old man adjusted his appetite again.

After discussing with the people around him for a while, he said, "This young master of the Li family didn't choose anything else, but chose to take the writing brush and the gold seal."

"why is that?"

"I'll talk about this later..." The old man glanced at the interrogator and said, "After Li Chenying picked these two things, the man with the beard took them back, turned around and took out a brush to dip some ink into it for Li Chenying. Yuan wrote three pieces of paper, folded them up and handed them to him, and said that these three pieces of paper would be opened when Li Chenying was one year old, 21 years old, and 25 years old, and the man left these words and left."

"What's written on it?"

"After the man left, the guests congratulated Li Yuan's son as a Wenqu star descending to earth in order to save Li Yuan from the siege. His future must be limitless. That night, after the guests dispersed, Li Yuan opened one of the notes, which read Li Yuan was so angry with the thing written on it, the words Tianshaxing were written on it, which was originally Wenquxing, but was suddenly called a broom star. Li Yuan was naturally very angry, and was about to burn the note. At that time, Mr. Li Chenying burst into tears, and managed to stop, and when he returned to prepare to continue burning, Mr. Li's family cried again, and just like that, these three notes were preserved."

"What's next?"

"Next, the Li family gradually forgot about this matter. They taught Li Chenying to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The whole state is very famous. He was able to write poems in seven steps at the age of 12. In No. 20 years, Li Chenying married She married a talented girl at that time, Shangguan Wan'er. She was a famous daughter, but she didn't dislike Li Chenying. Li Chenying's grandfather died suddenly, then Li's mother died, and then Shangguan Wan'er's father died. Even Li Chenying's friends died one after another. At this time, Shangguan Wan'er was pregnant for several months. At this time, Li Yuan remembered I picked up the note left by the man in red 20 years ago, hurriedly dug it out, and opened the second one, on which were written the words 'Heavenly evil star wakes up, save the temple and help everyone'."

"At that time, Li Yuan took this note to Li Chenying, and then they went to Pujiu Temple to seek help from the eminent monk who was in charge at the time. After reading the note, the abbot immediately understood what it meant, and advised Li Chenying to convert to Buddhism, so as not to punish They are relatives and friends, but becoming a monk means cutting off all ties, so they are naturally unwilling, so they left Pujiu Temple after donating some incense money."

I heard it, and I was a little excited. If this is true, the following story may be an important basis for why the scholar became the current king of reincarnation.

"The father and son of the Li family returned to the Li Mansion. During the two months, people close to Li Chenying continued to die violently. In the third month, Li Yuan also died of bad luck. At this time, Li Chenying finally came to his senses. In order to prevent Shangguan Wan'er and his own children from being harmed, on the night of July [-]th, he lit a lamp to write a book on a pillow, and resolutely went to Pujiu Temple and knocked on the gate. became a monk."

When everyone heard this, they all felt sorry. At the age of 21, it was a good time to obtain fame, but he went out to become a monk, leaving his pregnant wife alone to guard the vacant house.

"Two months after Li Chenying became a monk, Li's mansion collapsed suddenly, and Shangguan Wan'er was nowhere to be seen. Li Chenying went out of the temple to look around, but there was no news. Outsiders spread rumors that the robbers sneaked into Li's house at night when they saw that there was no young man in Li's house. They captured the Li Mansion and kidnapped Shangguan Wan'er, but this is all speculation by later generations, and no one knows exactly what happened."

"What about Li Chenying? How is he?"

"In the next three years, Li Chenying ran all over the territory, looking for traces of Shangguan Wan'er everywhere, but found nothing, and returned to Puji Temple disheartened. One year, when the abbot was about to pass away, he called Li Chenying to the meditation room and told him a secret that had been hidden for four years."

"What secret?"

"The abbot told Li Chenying that four years ago, on the second day after the Li Mansion collapsed, a dying female benefactor knocked on the door of the temple, and there was a dead baby in the female benefactor's arms. That woman was Shangguan. Wan'er, she begged the abbot to bury her on the back mountain of the temple. The head of the grave should face Li Chenying's meditation room. No tombstone, no coffin, just quietly burn Li Chenying's paintings in front of the grave every July [-] That's it."
