Mortals have never seen the Yaotai Immortal, but the person in front of him is dressed in Taoist robes, floating in the roaring wind, with his sleeves stretched out, as if the gods from the nine heavens are coming.
He stood in front of the crowd, made a gesture with one hand, and said: "Immeasurable Life Buddha." He immediately felt that his temperament was extraordinary, pine-shaped and crane-like, and otherworldly.
After a moment of silence, the guests whispered among themselves, wondering how someone could come out of a good full moon banquet.
Lin Wen was surprised, but when he saw the old man behind the Taoist priest being supported by two servants, he immediately ran over and said nervously: "Father, you are seriously ill, why are you up?"
Someone exclaimed: "Master Hu!"
Lu Anran was curious and looked over with everyone, only to see that the old man was mentally depressed and his skin was blue and black, which was a sign that he would die soon.
The servant of the Hu family moved a chair for Mr. Hu to sit down. He raised his eyelids with difficulty, stretched out his hand to push Lin Wen's hand away, and said feebly: "Is there any place in my mansion that I can't come to?"
Lin Wen was not angry at Mr. Hu's humiliation and said in a good voice: "The weather is bad and the doctor said you can't blow the wind. Since my father is here to celebrate us in person, why not go inside and I'll have someone spread out a soft cushion and sit on it." Be more comfortable."
Mr. Hu took a deep look at him, with an incomprehensible gloom in his turbid eyes, but without saying a word, he turned to the Taoist priest and waved his hand, "Master, please."
The Taoist priest took out a mahogany sword and waved his other hand into the air. A talisman suddenly appeared between his fingers, causing all the guests to take a breath.
This wasn't the end yet. He ordered people to set up a long table. He didn't know how, and a three-legged incense burner and a handful of sandalwood appeared in his hand. The talisman shook into the air, and the flame instantly ignited and lit it. Three fragrances.
The guests were dazzled by what they saw, and they hated that their eyes were not enough.
"This battle... looks like exorcism?" Someone raised doubts.
Lin Wen and his wife also watched until the Taomu sword was fixed on their side.
Mrs. Lin grabbed Lin Wen's clothes and was dumbfounded by everyone's gaze. She asked nervously: "What does this mean?"
"I am a poor Taoist who observes the sky every day. The yin energy condenses and lingers in the sky here. I am afraid that there are evil ghosts causing trouble." The Taoist priest rubbed his fingers together on the peach wood sword, bringing up a coquettish blue flame, and coldly snorted: "Sure enough, Yes, it’s right here.”
The peach blossom sword approached, pointing at the baby in the nanny's arms.
Mrs. Lin saw the Taoist priest approaching step by step, and finally looked at her son who had just turned one month old. She swallowed and stood in front of her. Her love for her son made her bolder, "Where are you from, a Taoist priest? Why are you talking so empty words?" It goes without saying that my son is evil, there are many talented people in the world, but not all of them may be genuine."
Mr. Hu wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak for a long time.
Lin Wenhe was so angry that he cupped his hands and sighed: "Taoist priest, you are indeed mistaken. The child is only one month old."
"Taoist Priest, I also suspect that something is wrong." Zheng Fumei ignored her husband's pull and insisted on jumping out to get involved. "The weather was fine originally, but when we got to this mountain, lightning started to strike. It must be some instruction from God."
The baby seemed to sense that the atmosphere was unusual and cried loudly again. He cried so loudly that he couldn't stop.
Mrs. Lin felt sorry for her child and said with red eyes: "I know you have a grudge, but today is my son's full moon, can't we change the day? If on normal days..." She choked, took a breath and said: "When will I not follow you? Whatever your heart desires, do whatever you want.”
The meaning revealed in these words was not that simple. Everyone looked at each other in confusion, thinking that the son-in-law's remarried life was going to be difficult.
Zheng Fumei was angered by these words, "I've wronged you two by letting you enter the Hu's house. Why don't you move out as soon as possible? Could it be that it's not you who are hosting the thirty-plus tables of banquet guests, but me, Uncle Hu or Jiuquan?" The three of them, Mei Ling, sister, mother and son, are closing their eyes."
From the time she first came here until now, she had been holding her breath in her chest for a long time, and now she let it all out, "A man and a woman with a black heart and a black liver, what kind of good thing can they give birth to, bah!"
Zheng Fumei's husband quickly covered her mouth and whispered in her ear: "Calm down, calm down, in public, even if you don't give Lin Wen face, you can't make it too ugly, otherwise the entire Hu family will be criticized. "
There are few people in the world who can make people scold their children in front of them without saying anything. Lin Wen's expression changed, he suppressed it, and said with a slightly stiff tone: "Mrs. Huang, I know that you have a deep love for sister Mei Ling, but Mei Ling's nature She is kind, if she were alive, she would never say such rude words."
The person was so angry that she could not speak, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. She pointed at Lin Wen for a long time, her face was filled with anger, but tears fell down first.
After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "You just deceived her into being kind and gentle and easy to deceive. You are a deceiver. You have the appearance of a dog and the heart of a wolf."
Lin Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The misunderstanding between us is too deep. No matter how much I explain, it will be in vain."
Mr. Hu regained his breath and now asked someone to carry the chair forward and stop next to the Taoist priest. Without looking at anyone, he said in a cold voice: "Taoist priest, please continue."
He is worthy of being a master of Taoism. No matter what Zheng Fumei and Lin Wen were arguing about just now, he still holds a mahogany sword in his hand, completely out of this world.
Until Mr. Hu spoke, the Taoist priest nodded slightly and looked in the direction pointed by the peach wood sword with a burning gaze. The tip of the sword turned over. Lin Wen's wife jumped in fear, passed the child, and pointed further back, "What the poor Taoist said is to blame ghosts, not evil spirits." Suddenly his expression changed, "No, my resentment is so high that I can't suppress it anymore."
Before anyone could realize what he was saying, the Taoist priest walked quickly towards the back mountain, and the servant carrying Mr. Hu followed him without saying a word.
Lin Wen comforted his wife, "Take the children to rest and I'll go take a look."
"Let the nurse keep an eye on the child. I'll go with you." She shook her head, and the couple followed closely behind.
Zheng Fumei raised her chin, grabbed her husband's hand, and said, "Let's go."
The remaining group of guests looked at each other, and finally they all walked towards the back mountain in unison. They couldn't finish the meal anyway, so they wanted to watch the excitement.
Lu Anran and Yun Qi stayed at the end, and she recalled speechlessly that the Taoist priest winked at her before turning around when no one was paying attention.
"Why is Ma Dan here?"
Yun Qi chuckled, "I guess I'm back to my old job."
As the two of them walked, Lu Anran said: "The Hu family is also an old friend of your grandfather, so you don't have to worry about Ma Dan doing bad things."
"Any pain can gain hope in the new life, but Mr. Hu has no chance." Yun Qi shook his head and sighed, "You see, no matter how depressed Lin Wen is, he will find sustenance in his new-born child again in the future, but Where is Mr. Hu?"
Lu Anran tilted his head, "So he found Ma Dan to seek peace of mind?"
"Maybe." Yun Qi said vaguely: "In our opinion, Ma Dan is just a liar, but for a hopeless person like Mr. Hu, knowing that everything is fine with his relatives underground may be a comfort."
Lu Anran doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, "Isn't this self-deception?"
"If you've deceived yourself, how do you know it's not true?" Yun Qi asked.
Lu Anran was speechless. People's cognition comes from themselves. In this way, it seems to make sense.
Yun Qi blinked at her: "Do you want to praise me?"
"Unreasonable." Lu Anran dropped the word and walked a little faster.
When the two arrived, they were surprised to find that everyone was standing motionless, without even a sound, as if they were being tapped.
The three layers inside and outside the crowd were blocking the view from inside. Yun Qi and Lu Anran looked at each other suspiciously, then walked around to the gap, and then they realized what was causing this scene.
The loess was turned up and scattered around, the grass and trees were uprooted, and moxa was lying on the ground. The strong wind was blowing, and under the heavy clouds, a dark hole in the middle was exposed in front of everyone.
There is also a row of four coffins.
Only the elder in apricot-yellow robes shook his fly whisk and recited in a low voice: "Buddha Immeasurable Life."
Like a spell switch, everyone suddenly woke up, their faces worse than eating flies.
"Scam, swindle, swindle?"
"If I remember correctly...this belongs to Miss Hu and her three children, right?"
"The winds and clouds are changing, the heaven and the earth are changing, but this and this are so ridiculous."
…
Ma Dan moved his eyes invisibly from left to right, and said seriously: "The poor Taoist came a step too late, the Yin Qi condensed, and the resentful ghost broke into the grave, so we had to resolve the resentment."
Mr. Hu covered his face and cried silently when he saw the four coffins. His only family members who were connected by blood were all lying in them. Only he, the old man Yu Yu, who had one foot in the grave, was left alone in the world.
"Sister Mei Ling... Xiao Qi, Xu'er, Yao'er..." Zheng Fumei turned around and cried on her husband.
The four coffins, one large and three small, were neatly arranged there. Under the visual impact, everyone present, whether they were friends with the Hu family or not, had a look of intolerance and pity.
The saddest thing in the world is that people with white hair give gifts to people with black hair, and four of them are given away at once.
"My little one is only nine months old..." Zheng Fumei cried uncontrollably, her eyes filled with tears, she staggered two steps and fell to her knees, "You have always been cautious, and the candle burning charcoal basin never came close to the bed. How could you be so careless as to put an open flame in a dangerous place? You love your three children the most, how could you be willing to take them with you? How could you bear to leave only Uncle Hu alone?"
After crying for a while, he suddenly raised his head, gritted his teeth and forced out his voice and said: "I don't care about resentful ghosts or evil spirits. Sister Mei Ling, if you are really wronged, you must show up and tell us. Even if I risk my life, I will do it for you." Please ask for the truth."
Everyone sighed and sighed, but suddenly a strong wind blew up, and the wind and dust made everyone unable to open their eyes.
There was only a "bang~" sound, as if there was some impact, and a dark wind blew by their ears, which made everyone's hair stand on end.
Feng Xiaochen moved away, took the hand that was blocking his eyes and looked forward.
"Ghost, ghost, ghost... there is a ghost!" one person exclaimed, causing an uproar in the whole place.
