At this time, the door of the tomb opened, revealing a spacious cave inside.
The stone walls of the cave were lit with several dim oil lamps.
"Master Immortal, please sit down."
Lu Shangguan saw an Eight Immortals table against the wall with a Taishi chair on each side, so he walked over and sat down.
At this time, the beautiful maid came over and offered fragrant tea.
Lu Buwei sat on the other side and said with a smile: "Excuse me, Master Lu, why do you recite scriptures?"
Lu Shanguan said: "I have learned some scriptures, but I don't know what the effect is, so I came to Beimang Mountain to try it. My real purpose is to find the "Ghost Book". Mr. Lu, you are a senior, do you have any Ever heard of "The Babadook"?"
Lu Buwei twisted his goatee with his hand and said: "I know "The Book of Ghosts" was burned when Ying Zheng burned the book to deceive Confucian scholars!"
"Then have you ever heard of the "Book of Ren", "Book of Xia", "Book of Internal Affairs" and "Book of Foreign Affairs"?
"I have seen the fragments of "Book of Ren" and "Book of Xia", but not "Inner Book" and "Outer Book".
Lu Shanguan cupped his hands and said: "Please sir, please pass me the contents of "Book of Ghosts", "Book of Humans" and "Book of Summer". For the sake of fairness, I am willing to compensate you. What do you need? Why have you lingered for thousands of years?" And refuse to leave?"
Lu Buwei smiled and said: "I am not an ordinary ghost, I am already a ghost fairy. In my opinion, there is no difference between humans and ghosts."
"Excuse me, senior, what is a ghost fairy?"
"The ghost immortal is one of the five immortals. He is transcendent in the underworld and does not enter reincarnation. He can live forever. I was a monk during my lifetime, but my qualifications were limited and I did not understand the Tao. I wanted to achieve it quickly, and my shape was like a gaunt tree. My heart was as purple as gray. The spiritual consciousness is guarded within, and the will is not dispersed. The Yin spirit emerges from the concentration, which is a ghost of pure spirit, not a fairy of pure Yang. Therefore, after receiving Ying Zheng's letter, I chose to fight, and the Yin spirit persisted and became a ghost immortal.
Although the ghost fairy does not have high magic power, he can live comfortably. Although the Immortal Chief has a physical body, he cannot escape the catastrophe of the world. As a ghost fairy, I don't have such concerns. "
"Senior, apart from you, are there any other ghosts and immortals in the world?"
"Yes, I have seven or eight friends who are all ghost immortals. One of them is named 'Guo Pu', and there is also Tieguai Li. They are all ghost immortals just like me."
"Tieguai Li, one of the eight immortals, is also a ghost immortal?"
"He was originally Lu Dongbin's disciple, and he was good at traveling out of his body and traveling around the world. Once, he made an appointment with his disciple, and if he didn't wake up for seven days, his body would be cremated. Unexpectedly, the disciple thought that he had already materialized in his wandering mind, and was extremely He wanted to return home to visit his critically ill mother, but he endured it until the sixth day before his body was cremated. After his return, he only saw his own ashes and his soul had nowhere to go. He had a filthy face, a frank belly and a lame leg, and was supported by an iron staff, so he was called "Tieguai Li". After a hundred years, the beggar's body was no longer useful, and Tieguai Li abandoned his body and became a ghost. .”
Lu Shanguan was silent for a moment and asked: "Mr. Lu, what conditions do you need to pass on the "Ghost Book", "Human Book" and "Xia Shu" to me?"
Lu Buwei looked around and said to him: "When I was alive, I made a marquis and worshiped the prime minister, and I accepted many disciples. I had three thousand disciples, including Li Si and Gan Luo. They were all my disciples. After my death, I was buried in Beimang Mountain. It lasted more than four thousand years. Eight maids were carefully selected.”
"Then what?"
"I want to give you a maidservant. If you are willing to accept the maidservant and do a small thing for me, I will pass on the "Ghost Book" and the two remaining volumes of scripture to you."
Lu Shanguan stared at him and thought, "Have you made it a habit to give women away? I'm not Ying Zheng's father. If I want a woman, I won't find it myself."
Lu Buwei smiled and said: "There are rumors in the world that I am Ying Zheng's father. This is obviously false. Is the prince Yiren of Qin so stupid? Is he a pervert? He is so impatient that he even accepts a pregnant woman. Accept it? Since I want to make acquaintance with a stranger, I will naturally give him the best woman.
Now, I want to give you a maid, the reason is the same. Over the years, I have lived in Beimang Mountain and witnessed with my own eyes how many women were buried. Every one of the women I carefully selected was extremely talented.
I taught them the spiritual method of ghost cultivation and renamed them. Everyone has a nice name. "
Lu Shanguan frowned and said, "Mr. Lu, why did you give me a female ghost?"
Lu Buwei replied: "I saw that the immortal has a strange skeleton and a soaring Qi on the top of his head. He will definitely become a great immortal in the future. I intend to make friends with the immortal, but I have nothing to offer, so I want to give you the female disciple I have carefully cultivated." Doesn't the Immortal want to study the "Book of Ghosts"? With the help of a maid who has studied the "Book of Ghosts", wouldn't it be more effective with less effort?"
Lu Shanguan thought for a while and said: "Okay, sir, please call the maid over. Can I choose one by myself?"
"Okay, being chosen by the Immortal Chief is their blessing."
Following Lu Buwei's three high-fives, eight girls walked in. Each one of them was very beautiful, charming, charming, full of water, bright and enchanting.
These girls came forward one by one, bowed to the guests, and announced their names.
"My name is Li Xiangjun."
"My name is Gu Hengbo."
"My name is Liu Rushi."
"My name is Chen Yuanyuan..."
Lu Shanguan frowned when he heard this, thinking: "What is this! Lu Buwei, you old ghost, why did you give your maid such a name?"
Lu Buwei smiled and said: "The name I chose casually is equivalent to a stage name. If the immortal doesn't like it, just change the name later." Then he began to introduce the specialties of each girl: "They are all good at singing and dancing, understanding, and piano." Chess, calligraphy and painting each have their own strengths..."
After Lu Shan finished watching, he pointed his finger and said, "Just choose this girl!"
Lu Buwei waved his hand, and the other seven girls retreated, leaving only one petite and exquisite girl.
This girl's name is "Dong Xiaowan". She is good at cooking and calligraphy. She is smart, knowledgeable and has a strong memory. She has read many books during her lifetime and has knowledge of hundreds of schools of thought.
Lu Shanguan knew that she was not the real Dong Xiaowan. Dong Xiaowan's grave was in Meiying'an in the south of Rugao City.
Later, Lu Buwei added: "Accepting the maid is a prerequisite, and I also ask the Immortal to promise me something."
"Mr. Lu, please speak."
Lu Buwei turned around and took out a jade sculpture from the niche and said, "Please allow me to bury this jade sculpture in the soil at the source of the Luo River."
Lu Shanguan felt strange, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Why is this?"
Lu Buwei said: "Immortal, there is no need to ask more. As long as you do this for me, I will hand over the "Ghost Book" to you."
"Okay, Mr. Lu, please wait a moment. I'll be right back!" Lu Shangguan left the cave, rode the wind and traveled to the source of the Luo River, where he buried the jade carving beside the Longtan.
Then he quickly returned and returned to the cave to see Lu Buwei.
