Chapter 31: A ghost should be left as a sign
The Marquis's wife was not shy and accepted it happily.
She then remembered to ask Wen Ling: "Why did you suddenly think of opening such a Wanshiwu?
When you helped us before, we thought you didn't want too many people to know that you were capable of these things, so you didn't dare to say anything. ”
Wen Ling explained honestly: "Because I want to do more good deeds to accumulate merits. I really need merits."
Wen Ling did not explain why merit was needed or what merit was needed for.
Mrs. Hou is a person with a strong sense of boundaries, so of course she wouldn't ask.
She even made up several reasons for Wen Ling in her mind.
Maybe Wen Ling learned from some hermit master, and he accumulated merits in order to increase his lifespan or even prolong his life.
Madam Hou nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand. If that's the case, then I won't hide it anymore. I'll promote it to my old sisters when the time comes."
These days, every family has some strange things that are hard to explain.
She heard every now and then that someone's child was frightened to death, or someone else had dreamed about their grandmother who had passed away several years ago for three days in a row, and so on.
It’s just that everyone is more accustomed to going to Huguo Temple or Baiyun Temple to find a master when they have something to do.
However, Mrs. Hou often heard that many families spent a lot of money to invite people to perform rituals at home, but to no avail.
She had gone to Baiyun Temple to look for Taoist Wuji because of Gao Yueyuan's matter before. She spent several thousand taels of silver to make arrangements. When she met the Taoist priest, he was vague and nothing was resolved.
Madam Hou pulled Wen Ling aside and started to complain.
Finally, she concluded: "I have discovered that those Taoist priests and abbots are not as reliable as you. You are the one who has real ability!"
Wen Ling smiled but said nothing.
What she thought in her heart was that those people were certainly not as reliable as her.
The spiritual energy in this world is so thin that she couldn't clearly sense the existence of any righteous god.
It is hard to say whether the gods and Buddhas in the sky can sense what is happening in this world.
What's more, it is even less likely that these people who serve gods and Buddhas will be of any use.
Unlike her, she has been a word spirit for thousands of years and has always relied on her own abilities.
The reason why the Marquis's wife came this time, besides coming to help Wen Ling, was also for a very important matter.
She took out a card and handed it to Wen Ling: "In seven days, it will be Princess Anle's coming-of-age ceremony. The eldest princess wants to hold a grand ceremony. She handed me the card and invited most of the female relatives in the capital."
"Princess Anle? Is she the one who told Yuanyuan that she knew the riddles of Linglong Cloth Shop?" Wen Ling remembered her as soon as he heard it.
"Yes, it's her." The Marquis's wife nodded, the smile on her face disappeared, and her expression became solemn.
Wen Ling said: "I didn't receive the post."
Madam Hou quickly said, "It's okay. If you are willing to check it out, I can take you in. I think they have no reason to refuse."
Of course Wen Ling would not refuse.
Not to mention that Princess Anle might be related to the evil heart in Gu Chenran.
It was said that there were colorful exquisite bells needed to seal evil hearts in the Princess's Mansion, and she had originally wanted to find an opportunity to go there.
Wen Ling readily agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you then."
The Marquis's wife was very happy. The main reason she came here today was for this matter.
The deal was settled, and she also received calming flower tea and a calming talisman, and she left happily.
The next seven days went pretty much as Wen Ling had imagined.
Even if there is Xu Niang among the common people to help promote it, and there is Mrs. Hou among the ladies and young ladies to promote it.
No guests came during these seven days.
Not to mention people, there isn't even a single ghost.
I don’t know if it’s because Wen Ling’s aura is too positive, or what.
At night, there were a few wandering ghosts wandering curiously outside the Yorozuya House.
But as soon as Wen Ling raised his head and looked towards them, they were so scared that they scattered and not even a shadow of them could be seen.
It seems like Wen Ling is scarier than ghosts.
Wen Ling was also helpless. If she had known earlier, she would not have let Gao Zhi go so early.
Gao Zhi should be kept with her as a stand-in, oh no, as a signboard.
Let it tell the ghosts passing by how powerful she is, how kind and upright she is, and how she is a good person who can uphold justice for ghosts.
Of course, she could also take the initiative to catch a ghost, but that would cause a lot of unnecessary consequences.
Fortunately, the shop is his own, so Wen Ling is not in a hurry.
Her daily routine is just like going to work. In the morning, she eats a popular breakfast on the street that has a long line, and then strolls over.
I meditated and practiced on the second floor for the whole day, went out to eat at a popular restaurant at noon, and then returned to the second floor to continue meditating and practicing.
In the evening, I took a carriage home and had a sumptuous dinner prepared by Gu Chenran.
Anyway, she would always have dinner with Gu Chenran every day.
At first, the two of them had no common topics and just sat together and ate quietly.
Gu Chenran would silently note down what Wen Ling liked and disliked to eat. If Wen Ling ate a dish that she seldom picked up, it would never appear on the table again.
Later, Gu Chenran began to ask proactively: "Madam, my health is so poor, is there any way to make me stronger, or... do you think I am suitable for cultivation? Can I learn some spells like you?"
Wen Ling fully understood Gu Chenran’s desire to become stronger, and rejected him mercilessly.
"No, you have to start learning magic from the age of three, when your Tianling acupoints haven't completely closed yet. It's too late for you now. It's impossible for you to learn."
Seeing that Gu Chenran's eyes, which had been bright just now, dimmed in an instant, and with his head down and a sullen look, he seemed inexplicably aggrieved.
Wen Ling coughed again and said, "Although you can't practice magic, you can still learn some common skills of reading Feng Shui and face.
There are also some physical exercises that can strengthen your body and increase your yang energy, and I can teach you some of them. ”
Gu Chenran raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of surprise: "Really?! You are not saying this to comfort me, are you?"
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"
Wen Ling didn't realize she was being tricked. She straightened her chest and said, "Hurry up and eat. After dinner, I'll teach you the most basic Feng Shui!"
Then Wen Ling began to teach Gu Chenran the metaphysical tricks of Feng Shui and physiognomy in a confused manner.
The two of them also had more topics to talk about.
Gu Chenran has a high level of comprehension and learns very quickly. He can master what he learns once he has done it and can also apply it to other situations.
Every day at dinner, he could always find various real-life cases to discuss with Wen Ling.
Many of them include secrets of the families of ministers in the court.
For example, after a minister passed the imperial examination and was promoted, in order to abandon his wife, but still wanting to preserve his reputation, he changed the feng shui of the yard where his wife lived.
A few years later, the wife fell ill and died, and the minister pretended to cry very sadly.
etc.
Wen Ling felt that she was not only analyzing the actual case, she was more enjoying the melon...
