Chapter 167: Meticulous Attention from Head to Toe
Qi Yuan Zhenren's brothers tried their best to inquire about the old lady's background and finally found out some information for them.
It’s just that the time was too long ago, and the old woman had lived an ordinary life all her life.
When the man is around, she is a good wife and mother.
When the man is gone, she becomes the grandmother of the family, and all household affairs are handled by the eldest son and his wife.
The old woman was a lifelong Buddhist, and apart from staying in temples in her later years, she had no other inappropriate hobbies.
Normally, the brothers Qi Yuan Zhenren would not take such an old lady seriously, but now because of Xia Yu's matter, they noticed this old lady.
There are many people in the daytime, and even if Qi Yuan Zhenren and his brothers can be invisible, they cannot take the chance of exposing themselves.
At night, after everyone fell asleep, the Qiyuan brothers stood by the old woman's window and heard her dream.
"Dad, are you here to pick me up?"
The Qiyuan brothers exchanged glances secretly. Children in ordinary families like to call their fathers "Dad."
"Father, don't count their lives."
Qi Yuan Zhenren's brothers pushed the window open and saw the shadow on the ground. They were immediately furious and swung their swords directly at it.
The shadow made a mocking sound: "Oh, a disciple from a big sect.
You came at the right time, the delicious food is delivered to your door. ”
The brothers' swords stabbed into the air, and the phantom laughed loudly: "Stupid, the disciples of the big sects are always as stupid as ever after a hundred years."
Master Qicheng threw a talisman at the moving phantom, and before the phantom could react, he threw several more talismans in succession.
"Ah." Flames appeared one after another in the shadow, and Master Qicheng said to Master Qiyuan: "Talisman."
The two brothers took turns throwing talismans. As Shi Zelan said, as long as there were enough materials for refining talismans, her master was willing to teach her how to make talismans.
"Ah, ah." The shadow shrank and quickly ran out through the open window.
Qi Yuan Zhenren and his brothers chased out. The old woman on the bed woke up in the middle of the night and saw the open window.
She got out of bed and closed the window, sighing, “I forgot to close the window.
I actually dreamed about my father who had been missing for many years. I really don’t have much time left. ”
Qi Yuan Zhenren's brothers chased after him, but the shadow had disappeared. They were so angry that they threw a purification talisman everywhere.
They returned to the window and heard the old woman's whisper. The brothers looked at each other and decided to give up tonight.
After they left, the shadow covered his chest and crawled to the old woman's window, just in time to hear the old woman sigh: "Father, after so many years, you finally came into my dream.
Father, I don’t want to take away the life of my children and grandchildren. The best outcome would be if I can live until next spring without pain. ”
The shadow flashed, and after the old woman lay down, he whispered, "You are as cowardly and incompetent as your mother. Survival is our instinct, but you are unwilling to prolong your life."
The phantom did not enter the room in the end. He shrank smaller and smaller, and then disappeared where he was.
On the second day, Qi Yuan Zhenren's brothers went to a teahouse near the old woman's house to listen to storytelling. They heard someone mention that there were flashes of fire all over the old woman's yard yesterday.
In the morning, the servant checked carefully everywhere and found nothing wrong except a strange smell.
The Qiyuan Zhenren brothers exchanged glances. After they came back at 3 p.m., they first asked about Xia Yu's situation, and then told him the news they had heard.
After hearing this, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng frowned at the same time: "That thing must have a connection with that old woman. It will definitely come again, but we don't know when."
"Do you think that could be the old woman's father?"
Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng nodded at the same time. The old woman's husband had been dead for many years. If the old woman had deep feelings for him and often saw him in her dreams, her health would have been bad long ago.
Qi Yuan Zhenren's brothers went to Shan Zheng Zhenren to ask for some better talismans. Qi Yuan Zhenren handed Shan Zheng Zhenren a space pocket and said, "Shan Zheng, can you take a look at the things inside to see if they can be used?"
After opening the space pocket, Master Shanzheng nodded happily: "It can be used. It can all be used."
Shanzheng Zhenren took out another stack of talismans and handed them to Qiyuan Zhenren: "This is the talisman made by my senior brother."
Qi Yuan Zhenren collected it with great care, and then whispered to Shan Zheng Zhenren: "Let Lan Jieer learn how to refine high-quality talismans."
Shan Zheng Zhenren smiled and nodded: "Okay."
He thought to himself that Shi Zelan was a person who was blessed with talent. Ever since he started drawing talismans, the talismans he refined were rarely of inferior quality.
After Xia Yu stopped having strange dreams for several days, she encouraged Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "Let's walk along the alley and get to know the neighbors."
Shi Zelan looked at him with a smile: "You are too idle.
Come on, you will soon feel the enthusiasm of our neighbors.
By the way, if they ask you about getting married, you have to think of a good answer, and don’t ask them to come to you every day to arrange a good marriage for you. ”
Xia Yu listened to Shi Zelan's words and looked at her in amazement: "I am about the same age as you, and they didn't come to arrange your marriage, so why do they want to arrange mine?"
Shi Zelan looked at him with a smile: "My face looks younger. Xiaoliu and the aunts said that I just grew taller in a hurry. In fact, I am just ten years old."
Xia Yu turned around and asked Shi Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, do you think I look small?"
Shi Xiaoliu looked at him and sighed, "You don't look young anymore when you stand next to Lan Jie'er. You can find another excuse to repay your aunt's kindness."
"Other excuses. I don't want to get married. I believe in Buddhism."
“Can you recite Buddhist scriptures?”
After hearing Shi Xiaoliu's question, Xia Yu thought carefully and said, "It's not easy for me to get married early, and I can't get engaged early either, otherwise it won't be good for the girl."
The three of them walked out of the yard gate and headed left. The first yard gate was closed, so they passed through smoothly.
However, when he reached the gate of the second courtyard, someone came out of the courtyard, a young scholar.
The scholar bowed to them, Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu quickly returned the greeting, Shi Zelan followed them shyly, and then walked to the third house.
"Sister Lan, from the day I met you, I never thought you were a shy person."
When Shi Zelan heard Xia Yu's message, she said unhappily, "Do you want me to follow you in saluting?
The aunties on this street have a good impression of me. They think I have a very gentle temperament and am very shy around strangers. ”
When Xia Yu looked back at Shi Zelan, he saw her quickly rolled her eyes at him. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, she is just pretending in front of strangers."
Starting from the third house, Xia Yu witnessed the enthusiasm of the aunts on this street.
Their concern for Xia Yu was so meticulous that she paid attention to him from head to toe. Even in the middle of winter, Xia Yu felt like wiping the sweat off her face.
