The way Long Chen hesitated to speak made Zhu Yong feel like a cat's paw, wanting to know what Long Chen wanted to say.
Long Chen stopped, looked at Zhu Yong, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly spoke.
"Pindao and the owner of the village have only known each other for three days. We have some things to say, and it would be a very shallow conversation."
Long Chen still didn't want to say anything, Zhu Yong immediately said: "What the Taoist said is wrong. How can friendship be measured by time?"
"Although the Taoist priest has not been in the village for a long time, he is a great benefactor to my Zhujiazhuang. This friendship is comparable to that of an acquaintance of eight worshipers."
"If you have anything to say, Taoist Master, please say it directly. There is no need to be shy."
Long Chen sighed slightly and said: "The owner of the village said this, and if I don't say it anymore, I will feel really sorry."
Long Chen touched the donkey's head, as if he had made a big decision.
"As the saying goes, you can't be close without being distant. You shouldn't have said these words, but... I still said them."
Zhu Yong listened very carefully.
Long Chen asked: "Does the owner of the village have an outside residence?"
The so-called otaku refers to a mistress who is raised outside and is not brought home.
Just like Jin Cuilian in "Water Margin", Jin Lao'er and Jin Cuilian's father and daughter were bullied by Butcher Zheng in Weizhou City. After Lu Tiha beat Zhen Guanxi to death, Jin Cuilian and his daughter left Weizhou City and arrived in Daizhou. He made a foreign residence for Zhao Yuanwai.
Zhu Yong felt strange why Long Chen suddenly asked this, but he didn't shy away from it. It was normal to have a foreigner outside.
"Yes, and quite a few. I have more than twenty outhouses."
Long Chen secretly complained in his heart: Horses have more fun than I do!
Long Chen asked with a solemn expression: "How many people have given birth to sons and a half daughters to the village owner?"
Zhu Yong thought for a while and said, "Three of them are all girls."
Long Chen nodded slightly and asked again: "How many people have you raised for the village owner's concubine?"
Zhu Yong was even more confused and said: "They have all given birth to children, almost all of them are boys."
Long Chen shook his head solemnly and said: "Last night...when Pindao lowered the Zifu sky thunder, the two female ghosts said something to Pindao..."
At this point, Long Chen stopped talking.
Hearing this, Zhu Yong smiled with relief and said, "I'll tell you the truth, Taoist Master, I also thought that those two female ghosts are my wife and the maid in Narcissus' room."
"They committed a crime and were beaten to death and sank into a well. They must have said they were unjust, but they broke family rules and deserved to die."
To Zhu Yong, killing two slaves was like killing two pigs, no big deal.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "No, that's not what they are talking about."
Zhu Yong asked in confusion: "That's not it? Then what did they say?"
Long Chen's words were like a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, which made no sense.
Just now I asked the foreigner, and then how many children were born, why did he get around to the death of the maid?
Long Chen still hesitated to say anything. Zhu Yong was very anxious and asked: "Taoist Master, tell me, you don't regard me as one of your own."
Long Chen then asked: "Are all the children of the village owner brought back from Zhaoti Temple?"
Zhu Yong nodded and said matter-of-factly: "Yes, all my children are from Zhaoti Temple and take refuge in the Buddha for blessing."
"Because of this, I didn't have much trust in the Taoist priest at first, because I have always believed in taking refuge in the Buddha."
"This is not only the case for me, but also for many people in Xixia. In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there were also people who went to Zhaoti Temple to ask for children, and even from Nanliang."
"The Qiuzi Hall in Zhaoti Temple is very effective, and the Taoist priest should also know something about it."
Long Chen nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I have long heard that the Child-Qiuing Hall in Zhaoti Temple is extremely effective. Many women who cannot conceive can become pregnant with children after going to the Child-Qiuing Hall."
Zhu Yong clasped his hands and said devoutly to the west: "That's it. Our Zhu family is particularly grateful to the Refuge Buddha. All my children are from the Refuge Buddha."
Long Chen nodded helplessly, and Zhu Yong asked: "Taoist Priest, do you have any questions?"
Long Chen began to hesitate again and refused to speak. Zhu Yong was so anxious that he said, "Taoist Priest, you have such a profound Taoist practice, why do you speak so grindingly?"
Long Chen looked up at Zhu Yong and suddenly said it all in one breath: "The two of them said that Madam and Narcissus killed them because they discovered a huge secret."
"Master, all your wives and concubines...all your wives and concubines, their children are not given by the Buddha at all. They just live with the monks in the Zhaoti Temple, and then they have children."
"Last time, owner of the village, you invited a monk over, and your ninth concubine, Runyu, was just living with someone called Jingyan again."
"They also said that the ninth concubine Runyun might be pregnant."
"I don't even believe this, but the words of the two female ghosts flying away cannot be false."
"If what they say is true, then there is something wrong with you, owner...all of your heirs."
"It's normal for your foreigners not to have children. Master, I'm afraid there's something wrong with your health."
"As for the three who have given birth, Pindao estimates that they may have given birth to a pretty boy."
"Anyway...Pindao didn't want to say it, but I have already said it."
"With that said, it's time for Pindao to leave."
"The lewd monk from Zhaoti Temple behaves like this, which is really against the laws of heaven and human relations. He deserves to be struck by lightning, the Infinite God."
"I say goodbye, we will never see you again."
After saying that, Long Chen patted the donkey and started trotting, disappearing at the end of the road.
Zhu Yong felt that his mind went blank, and he watched Long Chen leave in a daze, feeling very unreal.
"What did this demon say just now?"
The Jin Ruyi in Zhu Yong's hand fell to the ground, and he came back to his senses.
Bending down to pick up Jin Ruyi, Zhu Yong carefully thought about what he had just said.
"All my women are having sex with the monks from Zhaoti Temple? Are those not... not my descendants?"
"Fart! How is that possible! There are so many people asking for children, is it possible that they all are like this?"
"It is indeed a demon. I shouldn't believe in any Taoist priests. I should ask the mage from Zhaoti Temple to exorcise the evil."
"The devil's way, the devil's way!"
Zhu Yong cursed in the direction Long Chen left. After scolding him for a long time, he rode back to Zhuangzi.
After entering Zhuangzi, Zhu Xi came up to him and said, "Sir, my wife said that the evil spirit has been eliminated, and she wants to celebrate and be happy."
With a dark face, Zhu Yong got off the horse, holding the golden Ruyi in his hand, and walked to his room without saying a word.
Zhu Xi didn't know what happened. He had just sent Long Chen off happily, why did he come back like this?
Zhu Yong lowered his head and returned to the room. Narcissus was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a 5-year-old boy and talking.
This is the son of Narcissus.
"master."
"father."
Zhu Yong looked up at Narcissus and then at his son, feeling suddenly sick in his heart.
If Long Chen didn't lie, what if what he said was true? That..
"father..."
The boy ran over and hugged Zhu Yong's hand. He looked very cute and cute.
Narcissus saw Zhu Yong looking strange and asked, "What's wrong, sir?"
Zhu Yong looked at the mother and son and suddenly laughed: "How can you take what that demon said nonsense seriously?"
Narcissus didn't understand and asked: "Which demon?"
Zhu Yong picked up his son and said with a smile: "It's nothing. We have got rid of the evil spirits. We, Zhuangzi, should celebrate."
Zhu Yong turned around and shouted outside: "Zhu Xi!"
The housekeeper immediately ran over, and Zhu Yong said: "Just do what the madam said and have a good celebration."
Zhu Xi agreed and went to do it immediately.
Long Chen rode a little donkey and trotted away from Zhujiazhuang.
When they arrived at the edge of the woods, Feng He and other spies from the West Factory were already waiting.
