Chapter 255 Hu Xian
Li Manyang was born in an ordinary family in the village. Although he was not rich, he had good luck since he was a child.
I got into university online and was transferred to a good major.
After graduation, I learned about investing with my friends, caught the trend, and made a lot of money.
After marrying his wife, he and his wife returned to the countryside, planning to take advantage of the tourism boom to renovate their old house and open a farm stay and homestay.
But since he opened this farm stay, his luck seems to have run out.
First, all the stocks I bought were lost overnight.
The farm stay business was good at the beginning, and they wanted to save some money and then contract some nearby businesses, but after a few months, strange things kept happening in the farm stay.
I don't know what's wrong with the refrigerator, it always goes out of power and trips for no reason.
Logically speaking, the weather here is such that the temperature outside is lower than that of the refrigerator, so there is no problem with the power tripping.
But when they found out, all the food in the refrigerator was rotten.
They tried replacing the refrigerator or simply leaving the food in the snow, but nothing worked.
This happens almost every time. In just this month, he has lost a lot of money.
Not to mention the customers who were lost because they heard about these things.
Li Manyang smiled bitterly. "My husband and I invested almost all our savings in this farm stay, and now something like this has happened. I really don't know what to do..."
"Master, could you please help me see if I have violated any taboos or been possessed by some evil spirit?"
Jiang Xu looked at him for a while.
There was no negative energy or evil spirit on Li Manyang, but he did have a special smell.
"I heard from them that you enshrine Hu Xian in your home?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over with curiosity.
They were curious from the beginning, is Hu Xian really there?
Li Manyang thought for a moment and said, "That happened when I was very young. One time, I followed my grandfather up the mountain and met a little fox. It had fallen into a pit, and I rescued it."
"The little fox said he would help me realize my wish. I was still young at that time, so I just said it casually and didn't take it seriously."
"Later, I told my grandfather about this. He insisted that I was blessed by the Hu fairy and happily set up a tablet at home."
"I believed it before, but now..." He suddenly felt unsure.
"Bah, there is no such thing as Hu Xian!" As soon as he finished speaking, his wife Zhou Shu, who had been silent beside him, snorted with disdain on her face.
She is from the south and doesn't believe in the Five Immortals or the Four Immortals at all.
In her opinion, it is because the environment in places like Northeast China is good that there are many of these beasts, and they often sneak into people's homes, so the people deify them as gods and immortals.
"If there really was some Hu Xian protecting us, would our family have ended up in this situation?"
As soon as she said this, the villagers nearby immediately became unhappy.
"Zhou Shu, you can't say that."
"My mother-in-law's family enshrined a Huxian. It was the immortal who told them in a dream that bandits were coming, so my mother-in-law and her family hid in the mountains and escaped."
Everyone was talking at the same time, and Zhou Shu had no chance to get a word in. Plus, she was watching the live broadcast, so she pursed her lips and said nothing more.
But his expression was one of dissatisfaction.
If there really was a Hu Xian, her husband saved her life. Is this how she would repay the favor?
Their family is in such a miserable state, and you don’t even come to do anything about it?
She can't even solve such a small problem. She is incompetent. Why should we worship her?
Jiang Xu's gaze fell upon her, as if he could see through her thoughts at a glance. He coldly asked, "He has ordinary qualifications, but he was able to get into a good university, make money from any stock he buys, and double his returns from any investment he makes. Isn't this the protection of a family immortal?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
The live broadcast room suddenly became excited.
[So... Master Jiang's point is that Hu Xian really exists!]
【The Five Immortals are real! 】
【Ahhh! Hu Xian from the Five Great Gates!】
[Is it a vixen? Mom, I'm seeing a vixen!]
The villagers' eyes lit up: "I told you so."
"Why was he so lucky before? It must be because he had the blessing of the family spirit."
Zhou Shu's eyes widened in disbelief: "But if that's the case, then why did the family become like this?"
The villagers said: "The family spirit is repaying your kindness by protecting you, but it won't protect you forever."
"Did you do something to make Hu Xian angry?"
Now that I think about it, what Li Manyang encountered was not a big deal, and it was related to food. Could it be that the offerings were not made properly, and Lord Hu Xian was hungry because he had no incense or sacrifices?
Li Manyang also thought of this, and his expression suddenly changed.
This is……
Everyone exchanged a meaningful look.
Li Manyang said with a guilty conscience, "During the time I was back home, my family was busy with renovations and opening a business. Then so many things happened, I really didn't pay enough attention to the offerings..."
"Master, could you please ask for our forgiveness, Master Hu Xian? From now on, we will sincerely offer our worship..."
"Then let's go and have a look."
Jiang Xu glanced at him, neither saying yes nor no, then stood up and walked out.
Seeing that she didn't even ask for the address and walked straight towards his farmhouse, even though they had heard of Jiang Xu's abilities before, Li Manyang and Zhou Shu couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Arriving at Li Manyang's farmyard, Jiang Xu walked directly into a small wooden house at the very edge.
The inside was covered with dust. On an old altar stood a tablet, and the offerings in front were also covered with a layer of dust.
【This is too irrelevant. 】
[I think Li Manyang, having benefited from so many benefits, must have known about, or perhaps guessed at, the existence of the family spirit. Is this how he worships it? ?]
[Because I lost my luck later on, I no longer need to make offerings?]
Even though everyone was mentally prepared to see it, they still couldn't help but be shocked by this scene.
Being treated like this, even the most good-tempered immortal would be unable to help but get angry, right?
Li Manyang was also embarrassed.
"I, I'll clean it up right away..."
Jiang Xu glanced at him and said, "No need. Go and light three incense sticks."
Li Manyang smiled awkwardly and quickly found some incense from home and lit it.
Knowing that he was wrong, he was extremely pious during the process. He bowed and was just about to insert the incense into the incense burner when he heard a snap.
The incense in his hand broke into several pieces.
Li Manyang's face changed and he took out three more incense sticks. This time, these incense sticks simply wouldn't light up no matter how hard he tried.
There was a sudden sound of gasps from all around.
The villagers began to talk in low voices.
This is not a good sign.
Li Manyang's expression turned pale, and his voice was filled with tears: "Master Jiang, what's going on..."
Jiang Xu's eyes fell on a corner: "Since you're here, just talk to him yourself."
As soon as the words fell, everyone saw a woman walking out of the darkness.
She was wearing a white long dress with a pink scarf draped over her shoulders. She was young and pretty, with a little baby fat on her cheeks and a pair of bright and sparkling almond-shaped eyes.
Ahhh, this is so good! !
【Oh my god, she is indeed a vixen. 】
[I want to clear the name of the vixen. Anyone who sees this will be confused!]
[Miss, stop following this stinky man. Come to my house. I'll give you whatever you want!]
Li Manyang was stunned for a few seconds before reacting and pleading humbly, "Sir, I'm truly sorry. We were negligent in offering sacrifices before..."
"If you like eating meat, we will cook it for you every day. Please be magnanimous and forgive us this time..."
Before he could finish his words, the woman in front of him suddenly raised her almond-shaped eyes and said, "Bah, who wants to eat your old, spoiled, and smelly meat?"
