Chapter 173 The Incense Candle That Cannot Be Lighted
Everyone:?
Jiang Yue was suspicious: "? Brother, what did you call me sister?"
Jiang Yi winked at Jiang Xu and said proudly, "Isn't my sister the head of the Xuanqing Sect? Is there anything wrong with me calling her head?"
Jiang Yi: "Sister, do you want to go and take a look?"
Jiang Xu nodded slightly.
She hasn't visited Xuanqing Sect much since its renovation began.
Amidst the shade of trees, a plaque of Xuanqing Sect hangs above.
Following the stone steps, the spacious courtyard is filled with a fresh fragrance.
Jiang Xu nodded in satisfaction.
"Master Jiang! Master Jiang!"
In the distance, Jiang Yue's group of friends headed by Yu Zhe, Jiang Yi's group of teammates headed by Song Ming and Peng Ziqi, and the rich second generation group headed by Li Qingqing all arrived here early.
Seeing Jiang Xu, he smiled happily.
Jiang Yue and his brothers, who caught up a step later, were so shocked that their eyes popped out of their heads.
The famous little ancestors in Beijing, who usually wouldn't even pick up the broom when it fell over at home, and even threw away their dirty clothes out of disgust, are now picking up brooms and rags and are busy having fun.
They don't mind the dirt at all, and they no longer have any obsession with cleanliness. They are even afraid that they are not clean enough and they compete to show off.
"Master Jiang, I cleaned this incense burner by myself. Look, is it shiny?"
"Master Jiang, I swept the floor tiles. Look, are they clean?"
Facing everyone's expectant, pleading faces, Jiang Xu: "..."
What? Do you want me to give you a little red flower as a reward?
But Jiang Xu only dared to say this in her heart, because she was afraid that they really wanted it.
After Jiang Xu finished praising everyone one by one, Li Qingqing stepped forward embarrassedly and whispered sorry.
When she thinks about what happened before, she feels that she was extremely stupid.
How could I be fooled by Ruan Ruoning so easily!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xu didn't react much.
Li Qingqing pursed her lips, feeling a little discouraged.
"Tell me, Master Jiang hasn't forgiven me yet!"
Is it because the way I apologized was incorrect?
She's been very sincere, okay?
Jiang Chen, who was walking Da Huang nearby, heard it and paused.
"No, if my sister doesn't like someone, she will say it directly."
"say what?"
"roll."
Li Qingqing: Wow, so simple, so rough, I love it!
Master Jiang didn't tell them to get out. Does that mean she doesn't hate them that much anymore?
Li Qingqing was happy again.
I took a lot of selfies with my phone.
Ruan Ruoning opened her phone and found that she had received a WeChat message from Li Qingqing. After being slightly surprised, she couldn't help but feel happy.
Could it be that Li Qingqing saw through Jiang Xu's mask?
Or maybe, is there something he needs to ask of me?
But she is not someone who can be summoned and dismissed at will.
If Li Qingqing wants to reconcile with herself, she has to pay some price.
Ruan Ruoning snorted lightly, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.
But the next second, when she clicked on the message, the expression on her face froze instantly.
[Li Qingqing: Video sharing: I went to clean Xuanqing Sect with my friends and got praised by Master Jiang. I was so happy~~]
? ?
Ruan Ruoning's eyes widened in disbelief.
Didn’t these people agree that they would always stand by her side?
Now he is sweeping the floor for Jiang Xu!
Are you crazy?
And Li Qingqing, she knew clearly that she and Jiang Xu were not on good terms, so what did she mean by posting these things!
Ruan Ruoning angrily tapped the phone screen: [Li Qingqing, what do you mean! ]
The next second, a big red exclamation mark came into view.
She was blocked!
Damn it!
What does it mean? What does it mean?
Did Li Qingqing add her just to humiliate her?
Ruan Ruoning was so angry that her chest hurt and her eyes turned red. She looked at Yi Qing who was calmly drinking tea and screamed:
"How long will the plan you mentioned last?"
It hasn't been long since Jiang Xu has completely replaced her position in everyone's heart.
And she can only hide in this house!
"Am I just going to watch her take away everything from me?"
When she spoke the last part, her voice almost came out from between her teeth.
Yi Qing glanced at her with a smile, curled his lips, and said meaningfully: "Ms. Ruan, don't worry, the plan... has already begun."
…
Xuanqing Sect still has the final cleaning work left, and an auspicious day must be chosen for the opening.
After resting at home for a few days, Jiang Xu and the guests went to the live broadcast location of the new episode of "The Truth".
The car stopped at the entrance of a village.
As soon as I got off the car, bursts of firecrackers were heard.
The sound was still some distance away from them, and it was certain that it was not a welcome sound.
The guests looked at the director with puzzled eyes.
Director: "Yes, someone died in the village."
Everyone:……
Director: "As for the specific situation, let our client, Ms. Li, introduce it to you."
Hearing this, Aunt Li was stunned for a moment, and an unnatural look flashed across her face.
"Ah, this, this is really unexpected that all the teachers can actually come to our remote village."
"It's not that complicated actually. Five days ago, Old Man Li from our village passed away."
Old man Li was in poor health to begin with and had cancer. The fact that he was able to survive for two years was considered a blessing from God.
When someone passes away, it is natural for their descendants to hold a funeral.
But when this happened, strange things started happening.
Aunt Li suddenly lowered her voice: "During the funeral, the incense and candles on Old Man Li's head... went out for no reason!"
Her voice trembled slightly, and she looked frightened, but the comments were somewhat confused.
【??? Is this considered strange?】
[If it's windy, isn't it normal for the incense and candles to go out? ]
【Is there something special about this? 】
Tang Yue asked doubtfully, "Aunt Li, could it be the wind?"
Aunt Li said solemnly, "It's not the wind. It wasn't raining that day, and the doors and windows of the mourning hall were tightly closed. Where did the wind come from?"
"Also, every time I light the incense and candles, they go out after a while!"
Lu Jiawen felt a chill running down his spine. "What's wrong with destroying it?"
Aunt Li swallowed and said, "Of course, according to our custom, after a person dies, the body must be kept for three days.
During the wake, three incense sticks should be lit on the head of the deceased."
"These three incense sticks must not be extinguished before the deceased's funeral."
Tang Yue: "What if it breaks?"
Aunt Li's face turned pale. "This is called breaking the incense. It's a great disrespect to the deceased. In short, it's a very unlucky thing."
"And there are even weirder ones."
"During the nights we kept vigil, we heard bursts of crying, but in the mourning hall, there were only the filial son and a few villagers. No one was crying at all!"
"Last night, I heard the coffin lid suddenly creak a few times, but there was no one standing around!"
