When Qian Bufei returned home and recalled what had just happened, he just thought it was just a dream and ignored it. It was already noon, and Qian Bufei shouted that he wanted to eat. The servants began to prepare one after another. Qian Bufei saw a big tree in the courtyard. It was lush and lush. Under the dense green shade, there was a cool shade place under the tree. Qian Feifei said to his servants on a whim: "We will set up a table under the tree in a while. Today, Master, I want to eat under the tree!" Then he returned to his backyard and played with two beautiful concubines. After a while, a servant shouted: "Master, the food is ready."
Qian Fei was also a little hungry, so he said to the two concubines beside him: "Let's go! Let me go have a drink with you." He took the two concubines to the dining table under the shade of the tree, and drank. Raising fine wine and feeding the beauties, Qian Bufei enjoyed the meal so happily and lived a comfortable life that Qian Bufei had long forgotten what the messenger told him. After a few more glasses of wine, Qian Fufei said, "Master, I had a dream today!"
A concubine asked: "What dream? Official,"
"An old man with a white beard said, Master, I was a money tree in my previous life!" Qian Feifei said proudly.
"That's so right. In our Xinyang realm, who doesn't know that you, the official, are the richest person!" the concubine said flatteringly.
"But what else does the old man say? Master, I was reincarnated with a gold leaf in my previous life, so I was very rich. Now that the gold leaf is gone, I will be in trouble soon." Qian Feifei said.
A concubine said: "How is this possible? Official, our family's wealth can be exchanged for many gold leaves! How could it be gone!"
Another concubine said: "Yes, as the saying goes, you have something to think about every day and something to dream about at night. Sir, I guess you are too busy recently and think too much. I definitely can't believe what the old man said. of."
This person hates to hear other people say something bad about him, especially when it comes to fortune-telling. If someone says something good about you, you will immediately take it seriously. If someone says something bad about you, you will say that he is a deceitful person. The same is true for Qian Fei. Hearing what the two concubines around him said, he cheered up and said: "Damn that old man with a white beard. Is it true that he still has the final say in my luck! What kind of sake are you asking me to toast you?" . Bah!" Then he poured the wine in the glass on the ground casually and said, "Don't you want to drink? Go and lick it on the ground yourself! Haha!"
The two concubines were cheering beside Qian Bufei. Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and a few leaves fell from the big tree above their heads. Although it was not autumn, it was normal for leaves to fall occasionally. Qian Notfei and the two The concubine didn't care at first. A concubine brushed off the fallen leaves with a wink and continued to eat the delicacies on the table. But after a while, the fallen leaves on the trees fell more and more fiercely, like heavy rain, all falling down, and these leaves fell to the waists of the three of them. Seeing this, Qian Bufei quickly got up and walked aside with his two concubines. After a while, the dining table was buried under the fallen leaves. But the big trees that used to have lush branches and leaves are now only bare and dead trees, which is very pitiful.
Qian Bufei looked at the big tree without leaves, and the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously. He understood that this was not a good sign, and then thought of the old man with a white beard, and quickly knelt down in front of the big tree with only broken branches. , kowtowed and said, "It's just a villain who is ignorant! Don't be offended by the immortal!" When the two concubines saw this scene, they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. Then he hurriedly called a few servants, and quickly invited a few famous Taoist monks to come to his home to perform rituals, and continued to worship at the dead tree.
The servants acted quickly and immediately found two Taoists holding whisks and brought them to Qian Fufei. The two men looked at Qian Feifei, and one of them asked: "Hello, sir, we are wandering people, and we happened to pass by here. Just now, someone from your family grabbed me and said, Sir, do you want to perform a religious ceremony?"
Qian Fufei still felt a little frightened when he thought of the lush tree with all its leaves scattered, so he slowly told the two Taoist priests about his dream and what had just happened in the courtyard.
"Ah! How could you do such a thing!" A Taoist priest said in panic after hearing this.
"Yes, the trees have fallen leaves and become broken branches. This is a bad sign!" Another Taoist priest frowned and said.
"Isn't this nothing? If the poor Taoist's guess is correct, the white-haired old man you met in the dream should be the Taoist Taishang Laojun. He came down to earth to help you solve your doubts. It's fine if you are not sincerely grateful. You just talk lightly. Insult, I'm afraid that within a few days, all the green plants in your house will wither, and you will have bad luck again and again in the future, and even lose your life!" the Taoist priest said plausibly.
"What should I do? Please help me, please!" Qian Feifei begged the two of them.
"Sorry, due to the power of the Taoist ancestors, we are still relatively new in Taoism, so we really don't dare to get involved in this matter. Just pretend that we have never been here. Say goodbye." After saying that, the two of them were about to get up and leave.
Qian Bufei quickly pulled the sleeve of one of them, knelt on the ground and begged: "Two Taoist priests, you can't just die without saving me!"
With the money in front of him begging for money, a Taoist priest sighed: "Well, it's not that there are no ways, but whether it works or not depends on your own luck."
Qian Fufei seemed to see hope and said, "Taoist Priest, please speak."
The Taoist priest said: "Since Taoist ancestors said that the golden leaf is where your luck lies, then you need to find that golden leaf, then burn incense, pray, and fast for three days. If no green plants wither in the mansion, then it is his old man's fault." I forgive you. If not, then forgive me for not being able to do anything else."
When Qian Fufei heard this, he said: "Thank you, Taoist Master. Thank you, Taoist Master. Why don't you hurry up and prepare a hundred taels of silver to send the Taoist Master out of the house!" Qian Fufei said to his men.
The two Taoist priests sighed and refused, saying: "Money is an external thing, we don't need it. Besides, your luck is about to come, and the money you give me will become a burden for my practice. You Just take care of yourself." Then the two of them walked out of Qian's Mansion.
Qian Bufei collapsed on the ground and shouted to his servants: "Hurry! Buy me all the gold leaves nearby!"
After the servants of the Qian Mansion bought all the gold leaves nearby, it was already late at night, but two more trees in the Qian Mansion withered and died. Qian Fufei felt very upset at this time, regretting why he spilled that glass of wine! With a heavy heart, I returned to the room and worked hard all afternoon, but to no avail, and fell into a drowsy sleep. At this moment, a figure sneaked into the Qian Mansion, it was Li Yu.
In fact, Li Yu had arrived near Qian's Mansion a long time ago, but he didn't know what happened in Qian's Mansion. People were coming and going, so Li Yu had no chance to sneak in. In the dead of night, it seemed that Qian's Mansion also After a long pause, he sneaked in secretly. But where should I go to find Mrs. Jinye? Li Yu knew that there were still some people in the Qian Mansion, so he didn't dare to wander around. Suddenly, he saw a man who seemed to be holding something in his hand and looking around furtively. Li Yu followed him secretly, intending to find a place with few people and try to get something out of him. The man sneakily ran to the door of a quiet and desolate courtyard. Just as he was about to unlock the door and enter the courtyard, Li Yu suddenly stood behind him and put a dagger on his waist.
When someone held a dagger to his waist, the man immediately said in a panic: "I didn't steal it, I didn't steal it! Don't kill me!"
Li Yu said: "Shut up! If you don't want to die, answer my questions honestly."
When the man heard this, he seemed to be not here to arrest him, and said hesitantly: "Whatever you want to ask, as long as I know, I will tell you!"
Li Yu asked: "Is there a Mrs. Jin Ye in this Qian Mansion?"
When the man heard about Mrs. Jinye, his originally cowardly tone became tougher and said, "I don't know!"
Li Yu asked: "Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know?"
The man still said firmly: "If it's something else, if I know about it, I'll tell you. If it's Mrs. Jinye, I have no comment!"
Li Yu moved the dagger closer to the man and asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
The man smiled and said: "Even if you die, I don't know anything about Mrs. Jin Ye!"
Li Yu knew that this person must know Mrs. Jinye, but he just didn't want to betray her. Then he grabbed his hand, twisted it hard, and took away the things in his hand. Li Yu asked, "What are these?"
The man tried hard to get rid of Li Yu and said, "You have nothing to do with it!"
Li Yu looked carefully and saw a few gold leaves, and said with a smile: "I said you are not even afraid of death, why don't you call someone? It turns out that you are also a thief."
The man said angrily: "You are the thief, I am the servant of this house!"
"I'm not interested in these gold leaves. As long as you tell me where Mrs. Jinye is, I will let you go." Li Yu said.
The man said, "I told you, I don't know."
Li Yu threatened: "Then tell me, what will happen if I throw you and these gold leaves into the front hall of Qian Mansion now?"
When the man heard this, he became frightened and said, "No, no, no!"
Li Yu said impatiently: "Then tell me where Mrs. Jinye is!"
The man looked like he was about to cry and asked, "What are you doing with Mrs. Jinye?"
Li Yu said: "I want to save her."
The man said: "Who are you? Why do you want to save her?"
Li Yu said: "I was sent by her aunt, Mrs. Xiong, to rescue her." After what happened just now, Li Yu was sure that this person definitely knew Mrs. Jinye and was very familiar with her.
The man said: "Then you should have said it earlier! I am also here to save her!"
Li Yu asked: "Who are you?"
"Then let me go first. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, and I don't know martial arts. I can't beat you." The man said.
Li Yu let go of his hand suspiciously. The man rubbed his hands and said, "You said you were sent by Mrs. Xiong, but what evidence do you have?"
Li Yu showed the comb given by Mrs. Xiong to the man. After the man looked at the comb carefully, he said: "It is indeed this. This is indeed the comb Jin Ye gave to her aunt. At the beginning, she and I were together Chosen." The man's words were a little melancholy.
Li Yu said: "Now can you take me to see Mrs. Jin Ye?"
"Okay, okay! I'll take you there now." The man said, secretly opening the iron gate of the desolate yard.
