Chapter 257: Evil and unorthodox magic
. It was strange when these words came out.
Although it sounded mysterious and unfounded, it was hard to convince people, but...
When Yu Tingwan looked at Mr. Zhu who was smiling like spring breeze at the door of the goddess temple, she felt a chill on her back.
Wei Zhao's hand fell on her shoulder with a soothing look, and his eyes fell on the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest was not afraid that Wei Zhao would twist his neck.
The noble man in front of him had killed countless people with his hands, but he had great merits.
"I am not a charlatan, and I never tell lies."
"He has no yang energy, but he is still alive. There must be something strange about it."
The Taoist priest: "Incredible, interesting."
He was not talking nonsense.
Mr. Zhu's face did not indicate marriage.
He could see the obvious... The Taoist
priest disdained: "He has a face of losing money."
Losing money is losing money, but his life will not last long. If he does evil things, he will definitely suffer the consequences.
He wanted to say something else, but his voice was drowned out by the gongs and drums in front.
Soon, a loud voice came.
It was the housekeeper behind Mr. Zhu.
He stood on the high platform and said kindly: "You all know that our young master has a deep connection with the Goddess Temple. Therefore, over the years, the Zhu family has been grateful for the kindness of the Goddess of Childbirth."
"The money for the annual temple fair and the expenses for repairing the Goddess Temple are all paid by the Zhu family. I just hope that the young master will be in good health."
"The auspicious time has come. According to the old practice of previous years, two boys will be selected. Boys over ten years old and under twelve years old."
He looked around and saw that there were quite a few boys coming this year, and he couldn't help but be satisfied.
"If you are interested, please come over here."
No one thought it was wrong to specify that boys were needed. In their eyes, boys are more valuable than girls!
As soon as the voice fell, the crowd made a noisy sound. Pulling the children, they rushed forward like crazy, fearing that others would get ahead of them.
"Master Zhu, Master Zhu, look at my eldest son. He is just the right age. Here are his birth dates. Take a look."
"Oh, don't push. To be chosen by the Zhu family is one in a million. How dare you send your child here with pockmarks on his face and being so ugly? Aren't you afraid of scaring the gods in the temple?"
"Master Zhu, my third son is handsome. I have just seen him. Few people are better than him. This child is smart. Everyone who sees him says that he will achieve great things in the future." It was the first
time that Yu Tingwan had seen such a scene.
There was no time for fortune-telling. They looked around curiously.
Some people even knelt down, and tears fell before they could say anything.
"Master Zhu, my fifth son is weak and really can't do it. All the doctors who can see him have seen him. He has taken countless medicines in the past few years. The family has gone broke, but the child is not getting better."
The thin woman hugged the boy in her arms tightly.
She really had no choice.
"Please, Master Zhu, choose my Wu Lang."
"This child has been in bad shape since he fell into the water and was hit on the head by a stone."
Facing these pleas, Master Zhu looked embarrassed.
"I know you all want to be selected, but there are only two places available, so don't worry."
Yu Tingwan was puzzled.
"What is this?"
She looked at Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao: "I don't know."
The stall next door sells food. They come here every few years. The money they make from setting up a stall in the Niangniang Temple for one day is more than half a month in the past.
He is particularly grateful to the Zhu family and made time to say, "Don't you know? When Mr. Zhu was young, the Zhu family took him to see doctors everywhere."
"In fact, praying for safety in this Niangniang Temple is far more effective than praying for children."
"At that time, the Zhu family not only invited doctors every few days, but also bought coffins... for fear that something bad would happen."
Many people say that God is blind. The Zhu family spent all their wealth and accumulated virtues but couldn't even keep a child.
Until...
"After the temple fair, the Zhu family was enlightened by the monks."
He raised his finger and pointed.
"See, eight out of ten people who came here today want to burn incense. With so many people, the ashes from the burning incense and paper money will be useful to the Zhu family."
"After the sun goes down, the young master of the Zhu family will sweep the incense ashes to one place, put them into the new incense burner with both hands, wrap them with red paper, and finally take them to the temple for worship."
Yu Tingwan became more and more confused as he listened.
"No one else has any objection?"
People in the world believe in this the most. The burning incense and paper money are their respect and gratitude to the gods, but how can they be happy if the young master of the Zhu family takes advantage of them?
"How can that be possible?"
The stall owner said, "You can go to our city and look around. The prices in those incense and candle shops are 50% cheaper than those outside. They are all subsidized by the Zhu family privately."
"Besides, the Zhu family is kind and generous. In recent years, if anyone has difficulties, the Zhu family will always help. We all see it and we are indebted to him. So much incense ash can fill several baskets if swept together. How much can Mr. Zhu use? It's impossible to grab it from someone who is burning it."
Yu Tingwan was stunned.
Wei Zhao had a blank expression on his face. It was unclear whether he listened or was in a daze.
Oh.
Thinking about something.
The Zhu family really has a lot of money.
He took a fancy to it.
It was his.
The stall owner next door couldn't stop talking: "Mr. Zhu stayed in the temple at night, and the monks chanted for him. The incense burner was filled with incense ash before, so he could put incense on it. He was asked to keep an eye on it all the time, and when one incense was about to go out, he had to put another one on, without interruption, to show his sincerity."
"Since then, his health has really improved gradually. Who wouldn't find it strange?"
But not every family can spend money like the Zhu family.
"Later, Mr. Zhu thought of the pity of parents in the world. Who doesn't want their children to have a safe life? So, he decided to choose two children to go in together, and get the blessing of Guanyin."
As he said this, he was particularly regretful.
"What a pity, my son is just the right age, but he clashes with Mr. Zhu's horoscope."
"I don't know which family is so lucky to be chosen."
He thought for a while.
"In the past, seriously ill children were also selected. Mr. Zhu is a good man. Three years ago, a boy was diagnosed with no more than three months' survival by a doctor. After he was selected, he lived for four more months. No wonder the woman who just knelt on the ground begged like that. I guess her son will be chosen."
He was dry-mouthed, but he still suggested.
"If you have any family members or relatives who meet the Zhu family's requirements, you can bring them here. Maybe you will be blessed."
Yu Tingwan: ...
No.
I won't bring any even if there are any.
It sounds mysterious.
The Taoist continued to be disdainful.
Just those black air...
He sneered: "Who knows what kind of crooked and evil magic is used in it."
The stall owner:? ?
He was unhappy all of a sudden.
"Hey!"
"What are you talking about, you stinky Taoist!"
"If you slander the Zhu family again, I..."
"What do you mean by me?"
The Taoist looked at him with contempt: "You don't look like you have a son."
The stall owner:? ? ?
He was happy.
"My son is already eleven. If you want to cheat, you should think twice. You are not afraid of saying this..."
Taoist priest: "Is it possible..."
He smiled: "Your wife has a child with someone else?"
