Ever since Xu Meng fell ill, the Xu family had not opened the main gate for a long time, except to welcome the county magistrate Xia Tie and the heavenly master Qiao Daoling.
A head popped out of the side door and took a look.
"Hmm? A monk?"
"Master, what do you seek here?"
Ever since Buddhism began to spread in China, it has become common to see monks begging for alms. The Xu family has certainly encountered many of them. Even if they refused to preach, they still treated them with courtesy and gave them gifts.
This is also the reason why Du Zhu dared to come here, at least his life is not in danger.
With a "creak", the side door opened completely and a man dressed as a scholar walked out.
Du Zhu's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that there was hope.
In wealthy families, servants usually wear the same clothes. This person is wearing different clothes, so he must have a special identity.
If a servant opened the door, he might have to work hard to see the person in charge, but if it was a person of status, it would be a different matter.
Sure enough, Buddha blesses me!
Duzhu put his hands together, chanted a Buddhist name, and spoke.
"I, a poor monk, do not seek worldly things, but peace for the world."
The scholar was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"You monks and Buddhists, don't you all like to make a splash when you meet?"
"My name is Nan Guodou, and I am honored to be a clerk in the Xu Mansion. Master, please come in and have a chat."
The so-called "startling by one stroke" is no longer just an idiom used by the former King of Chu.
Thanks to the promotion of "The Funny Sayings of the Emperor of Fengdu", the common trick used by charlatans is to tell a big lie to scare people when they meet them, which is now also called making a big move.
Du Zhu was a little embarrassed when his thoughts were revealed. He didn't expect that his colleagues also used the same trick in Xu Mansion.
But, in this vast sea of people, only he is different!
Are his colleagues as lucky as him?
The person who received him was a clerk!
Clerk does not just mean "writing" in the literal sense, but also serves as a staff member.
Moreover, even though the other party pointed it out, he still invited him into the house. This is the beginning of success! !
Du Zhu composed himself and followed Nan Guodou into Xu's residence through the side door.
Now, I am coming in through the side door, and when I leave, you must see me off ten miles away through the Xu family’s main gate!
Nan Guodou seemed to be not good at speaking, perhaps he was still just regarded as a monk "begging for alms", so he just led the way in front without saying a word.
If this continues, I'm afraid that what will happen next is that he will receive the money and food, and then be sent away.
This is inconsistent with Duzhu's goals.
He decided to attack again to attract the other party's attention.
"Donor, on my way here, I saw that Yaoshan City is nestled between mountains and water, and its feng shui seems to be subtly converging on the Xu family. I guess this must be a plan set up by the ancestors of the Xu family, right?"
Nan Guodou was surprised.
"Oh, Master, you also know Feng Shui? Doesn't Buddhism not talk about Feng Shui?"
Duzhu chanted the Buddha's name and bowed.
"Although these are external things, it's not bad to learn more."
"This is also the reason why I came here..."
"I wonder if Donor Nan Guo has noticed? That winding mountain range is already shaped like a dragon. This is a dragon vein in the making!"
Nan Guodou smiled and said nothing.
"It seems that Master didn't come here to beg for alms, but to ask for something else?"
Du Zhu lowered his head and said.
"That's right."
"Donor Nan Guo, have you heard about the recent changes?"
Having said this, Du Zhu deliberately lowered his voice.
"The Xiang family of Huainan has now become the King of Chu. Not only that, I have news that the Shang, Beidi, Langya, and Donghai counties will all be crowned kings."
"Jiangge County should also have a King of Shu!"
At this time, his voice became louder and louder.
"Donor Nan Guo, you are a clerk now. If you follow the emperor one day, you may become a minister."
"Aren't you moved?"
Nan Guodou's expression was strange.
"Master, are you here to choose a King of Shu?"
We’re in, we’re in!
Duzhu became excited.
If the Xu family really had no such intention, or if Nan Guodou felt that he was extremely rebellious, they should have reprimanded him and kicked him out.
But Nan Guodou didn’t!
This means that he has the opportunity to use his eloquence!
"No!"
Du Zhu refused righteously.
"It's not my choice, it's Buddha's choice!"
"I came here under the guidance of the Buddha."
"Donor Nan Guo, Mr. Xu, you have a connection with my Buddha!"
Nan Guodou's expression became increasingly strange.
"What do you mean by that?"
While talking, Nan Guodou kept walking. He turned halfway and led Du Zhu towards the backyard.
As we all know, the front yard is for entertaining guests, and the backyard is for entertaining family members.
Du Zhu became more and more excited, and there was a slight tremor in his voice.
"I look at that mountain, it seems to be in a state of decline, and its upward momentum seems to be shrouded by a demonic aura!"
"I think there must be something else behind the Patriarch's illness!"
As he spoke, he pretended to look around.
"I wonder if Mr. Nan Guo knows that there are people in this world who are born with the ability to see ghosts and ghosts, and can see things that ordinary people cannot see."
Nan Guodou's expression was no longer weird, it could even be called eerie.
"So, the master is this kind of person? The master has seen a ghost?"
Du Zhu laughed wildly in his heart, but smiled softly.
"Of course I have, and many more."
"I see this house is shrouded in a dark and spooky atmosphere. The owner's illness must be caused by an evil spirit!"
"Unfortunately, I love to exorcise demons and monsters most!"
"The princes of the world are about to become kings. At this time, I unexpectedly came here and saw the dragon vein and the evil demon..."
