The household god asked Liu Yangsheng to move a large piece of wood out of the wood pile and place it on one side of the roof. According to the wishes of the family god, the door god took out a big ax from his waist, raised it high, and then struck it down with heavy force. With a crisp "crack" sound, a large piece of wood was broken into two halves.
The door god then ordered Liu Yangsheng to move half of the pieces to the wood pile for storage. As soon as he put them away, he heard the door god say, "Family God, is everything okay?" I go downstairs.
Don't go, don't go. As Liu Yangsheng spoke, he quickened his pace and rushed to the door god, a burly man. He reached out and took out a handful of money from his wet suit pocket and gave it to the door god. The door god put his hands together to catch it, but said, I want to pay for splitting a piece of wood with my family?
It should. Good job, doorkeeper! Liu Yangsheng said polite words politely.
When the door god stuffed a handful of money into his pocket, he glanced at the house god standing aside sheepishly, but the house god said with a smile, "Just accept it, it's okay."
After the door god went downstairs, the house god took out flint and steel to start a fire, and then lit the half piece of wood. Liu Yangsheng squatted down and started to bake on the fire. Slowly the wet clothes on his body were evaporating the slightly hot water. After baking like this for half an hour, the wet clothes on his body were almost dry.
Liu Yangsheng puzzled and asked the house god who was accompanying him, "Based on my impression, there is no wood piled on the roof of my small foreign-style building. Why do I see wood now?"
Yangsheng, you don’t know something. The roof of this building is full of yin wood, not yang wood, piled up by the Kitchen God. Of course you couldn’t see it when you were alive. Now that you are dead and you have become a ghost, of course you can see it.
Liu Yangsheng believed the explanation given by the household god, and asked another question instead. "Family god, you said that the Kitchen God has gone to the Heavenly Palace. What is he doing?"
The family god smiled and said, this is a secret that cannot be revealed. But now you're a ghost, so to speak.
Liu Yangsheng said with great interest, then you can tell me and I will listen.
The family god sighed, I really don't want to talk about this, for fear of making you sad.
What's sad or not? Like you said, now that I'm dead and have become a ghost, what can't I say?
The family god was about to continue talking. Suddenly I heard a loud shout above my head, "Hey, why are you using the dark wood I piled on the roof to make a fire?" Looking again, an old man in his fifties with a black face but fierce eyes landed from the sky.
The God of the Household gently tapped Liu Yangsheng on the shoulder who was warming himself by the fire, pointed at the old man and introduced him as the God of Kitchen. Why don't you pay homage to the Kitchen God? He has helped your Liu family a lot!
When Liu Yangsheng heard these words, Monk Zhang Er was really confused, but he still listened to the family god. He immediately stood up, knelt down again, kowtowed three times to the strange old man in front of him, who was called the Kitchen God, and said He raised his head and said, Kitchen God, the undead Liu Yangsheng is polite.
The Kitchen God saw him taking a piece of the dark wood on the roof to make a fire to keep warm. He was originally angry, but when he saw him saluting like this, he lost his anger.
Just as he was about to question the reason, the family god explained, "You know the matter about the undead Liu Yangsheng." He was retaliated by the Tang Dynasty military officers, who made him run into a car and fell into the moat. He drowned and the undead climbed up from the river all wet and couldn't dry it. The firewood in the world couldn't dry it. It was because I saw you were not at home. , led him to the roof of the building to get a piece of dark wood to make a fire, in order to dry his wet clothes.
Family God, you don’t know it. Once the undead is caught by the underworld, there will naturally be a way to turn the wet clothes of the undead into dry clothes. Now take a piece of Yin wood that I stacked on the top of the building to dry his clothes. This is not Is it unnecessary? The Kitchen God said this, and suddenly he saw Liu Yangsheng standing next to him. He reached into his pocket and took out a handful of ghost money and stuffed it into the Kitchen God's pocket. He also said, Kitchen God, the undead Liu Yangsheng is very grateful to you.
The family god said, you should be grateful to him. Also give a handful of money to the Kitchen God! Liu Yangsheng complied, and when he was taking out the third handful of ghost money, the Kitchen God leaned away, pushed his hand and said, "Two handfuls of ghost money are enough, I'm not that greedy." But I did help your Liu family.
As for what kind of help he had, Liu Yangsheng was kept in the dark and had no idea at all. He looked at Kitchen God and wondered whether he wanted to ask. Kitchen God said knowingly, then I will tell you. If the Tang Dynasty military officers did not kill you, there would still be big problems in your family.
What's the big problem? Liu Yangsheng asked.
If the Kitchen God doesn't answer directly, he points to the House God, so you can kowtow to the House God for an explanation! Liu Yangsheng wanted to kowtow, but the family god said no. I can tell you now. do you know? Your ancestors' accumulated virtues are too little, so it's not your destiny to make a fortune.
To be more specific, you worked as the general manager of Qianshan County Printing and Dyeing Company and made a fortune with a woman. You built this small foreign-style building in Liuzhuang, Yangjiaoshan Village, your hometown. Even the Liu family can't accommodate it.
The Yin Zhao God in the sky has given a secret order. On the Jiawu day of the Jiawu month of the Jiawu year, four layers of Yin fire will be used to ignite the Yang fire in your home's circuits and burn the electrical appliances, wood products, clothes and other miscellaneous items in this small western-style building. Not to mention everything is gone, the wooden fence on your balcony will not only burn down, it will also burn down and injure a neighbor who is participating in the firefighting.
This neighbor will be seriously injured, unable to die or live, and will be hospitalized for treatment. All medical expenses, living expenses, and lost wages will have to be paid by your Liu family. In this way, no matter how rich your Liu family is, it will be ruined. In the end, this burned-out little western-style building will be sold at a low price to save money to pay various expenses for the injured in the hospital. In short, it will make your Liu family miserable.
At this point, the family god glanced at the Kitchen God. Thanks to the Yin Zhao God in the sky, Shang Shu, I don’t know what the situation is in Shang Shu. Ask the Kitchen God to tell you.
The Kitchen God said, "I went to the Heavenly Palace to ask the Yin Stallion God for help. I knelt three times and bowed nine times on behalf of the Liu family before I accepted him." The God of Yin Zhi read the memorial and said that the ancestors of the Liu family had little merit and that their descendants were not worthy of living in a luxurious foreign-style building. The God in the Heavenly Palace had decided to send down four levels of heavenly fire to burn the building and cause it to collapse and hurt people.
Today, I received a memorial from the Kitchen God of the Liu family and learned that Liu Yangsheng, Liu Shiyan’s son, died tragically after his car fell into a river. This is a severe blow to the family. Therefore, he respected the opinion of the Liu family's Kitchen God Shang Shu and avoided the Liu family's fire.
Hearing this, Liu Yangsheng kept kowtowing to the Kitchen God again and kept chanting, thanking the Kitchen God.
The Kitchen God paused for a moment, looked down at Liu Yangsheng who was kneeling in front of him, and said, However, Yin Zhi God also said that even if your small foreign-style building was saved from the fire, the small foreign-style building where your parents lived could not be saved?
why? After your death, the bathhouse project that you invested in and built during your lifetime will become unfinished because the capital chain is cut off. If the foreman cannot receive the money and distribute it to the migrant workers, they will cause trouble and make your wife Zhai Haoyue uneasy. If you ask her to pay on your behalf, she will not accept the payment because this is your project. In the end, the foreman will lead a group of migrant workers to find Your father wanted money, but since he had no money to pay, your father had no choice but to auction the three-story villa at a low price to pay the wages, and the matter was settled.
Liu Yangsheng was shocked when he heard this, and his face turned red and white for a while. The family god looked at him and said, "Yangsheng, in short, this result is better than your building being set on fire from heaven."
Kitchen God said, of course. If I hadn't been careful, everyone in the Liu family would have died and become angry. Now you are the only one who is dead and not angry, so you are lucky!
It was late at night, and downstairs, the scene of Liu Yangsheng's funeral was still so lively, with whips exploding every few minutes, and the splashing sparks in the night were particularly dazzling.
And the night-time funeral songs, which are constantly changing their names and versions, are also sung with precision, leaving the mourners sitting around the fire listening to the songs sleepless.
It's just that Zhai Haoyue, who was mourning her husband, was too tired and felt sleepy. Of course she couldn't sleep, but she still wanted to find something to lean on to make her body relax and feel more comfortable.
Sitting on the armchair, she suddenly turned around, turned 180 degrees, turned her buttocks that was facing the back rail of the armchair toward the outside, straddling the armchair like a horse, facing the armchair. He held the edge of the railing with his hands, then leaned Bai Xiaobu's head with fluffy black hair on it, and fell asleep in this sitting position for a while.
But it is always in a light sleep state, and it cannot sleep deeply. If it cannot sleep deeply, it cannot fall into a dream. If it cannot fall into a dream, its soul cannot leave the body. Tan Caixing, who has become a ghost, has been waiting for her, hoping that after she falls asleep, her soul will leave her body and meet her, mocking her for being a widow, and finding Liu Yangsheng, who is younger than him, to remarry, but so far, her efforts have been in vain.
Tan Caixing felt that she could not sleep in this funeral ground where whips were blown and funeral songs were sung, and there was no hope of meeting and talking to her soul, so he planned to return to Macau.
The thought came together, but the undead Liu Yangsheng grabbed his arm, and then stuffed a handful of ghost money that he had already grasped into Tan Caixing's jacket pocket. He said, Mr. Qin, please, take me to Macau!
Tan Caixing was moved. When he saw that his clothes, which were soaked at first, were now dry, he readily agreed, okay! You come with me.
Don't leave in a hurry. As Liu Yangsheng spoke, he took out another handful of Mingqian that was stuffed in his wallet and stuffed it into Tan Caixing's pocket. He also said that my mother kept burning incense and turning paper into paper with me. If I didn’t take a little more of the ghost money she turned into, it would be cheap for other lonely ghosts.
Stop trembling and go! After saying this, Tan Caixing grabbed Liu Yangsheng's hand and flew upwards. As soon as he flew over Yangjiaoshan Village, he was stopped by an old man who was also flying into the air, and shouted, "Undead Liu Yangsheng, where are you going?" At first glance, I saw that the old man was wearing a yellow robe and a yellow hat, with a white beard floating above his chest. He was full of energy and majestic.
Tan Caixing had been in the underworld for a long time and recognized the old man as the land. He immediately pushed Liu Yangsheng, who was carrying him, and it fell to the ground. It was the side of the field where Liu Yangsheng had used migrant workers to dig the bathhouse.
When Tan Caixing saw that Tu Tu had also landed here, he stood in front of him and bowed his hands in salute. Lord Tu Tu, I have offended you many times, please forgive me!
Qin Caixing, I know you too. I should have caught you and sent you to the underworld to be imprisoned in the City of Wasted Death, but I didn’t want to meddle in that matter. As Tutu said, he turned his attention to Liu Yangsheng again, stamped the long and thick cane that was a head taller than himself on the ground, and said slowly, Yangsheng, I didn't want to arrest you in the first place. Tan Caixing, who is a business owner, is also a fugitive who will not live long enough to live in court. When he comes to court in the future, there will be some evil deeds to catch him. But I'm going to catch you now.
Liu Yangsheng wanted to use money to bribe Land, hoping that he would let him go. Unexpectedly, when Liu Yangsheng took out a handful of money from his pocket and tried to stuff it into the purse on Di Di's yellow robe, Di Di unceremoniously pushed away his outstretched hand and said, "No, no, even if you give me a gold mountain." I don’t want it, and I can’t want it either.
