Chapter 179 Strange Things
The next day, Shi Xiaoliu opened his eyes and saw Shi Zelan still meditating. He got up and went to the kitchen.
When Shi Zelan heard Shi Xiaoliu's movement, she quickly opened her eyes.
When Master Decheng came out and saw this, he waved his hand and the smoke from the kitchen roof floated up with the wind.
After Shi Zelan bowed to Master Decheng, he asked, "Master, how was Xia Yu last night?"
"Okay." Master Decheng looked at her face.
Shi Zelan smiled and said, "If he wants to be a big shot in the future, he will have to go through this kind of bitter and sweet event."
Master Qiyuan's brothers came out from the backyard and just happened to hear Shi Zelan's words. They immediately laughed.
Master Qicheng conveyed the message to Master Qiyuan: "No wonder Master Fengyuan and Master Fenghuang love her so much, she is so good at talking. “
Qi Yuan Zhenren smiled and said to Shi Zelan: "Thanks to Sister Lan's good words, my Yu'er will definitely have a great future."
Shi Zelan bowed to the brothers of Qi Yuan Zhenren and said with a smile: "I have always been optimistic about Xia Yu. I think he has a good character and is willing to spend time and effort on cultivation.
If people like him cannot succeed, others will be even less likely to succeed. ”
Master Qi Yuan sincerely felt that Shi Zelan was born with a pair of discerning eyes and was able to judge people at such a young age.
Master Shanzheng came out of the room and felt that Master Qiyuan and his brothers seemed to be getting closer to Shi Zelan, which surprised him a little.
He sent a message to Master Decheng: "What good thing did Sister Lan do today to make Brother Qiyuan so close to her?"
"She is always good at talking. She said Xia Yu will become a big shot in the future."
"I am also optimistic about Xia Yu. He is a person who can calm down and practice, and he treats people sincerely."
The people of Zizai Peak have always been generous to their fellow Taoists from the same sect.
However, the attitude of some people in the sect towards Shi Zelan still hurt the self-esteem of the people of Zizai Peak.
In recent years, Zizai Peak has only paid the number of talismans stipulated by the sect to the Governor's Hall.
Xia Yu came over from the backyard. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at him for a while and realized that the trouble was finally solved this time.
Shi Xiaoliu said happily: "That's great, you can practice with peace of mind now."
At night, Master Decheng and his group quietly went to the old woman's yard. The old woman had moved to a nearby yard because of the flowers.
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng waited in the yard for most of the night, but the shadowy figure never showed up.
Shanzheng Zhenren said to Decheng Zhenren: "Let's go to the courtyard where the old woman lives and take a look at the situation."
When they arrived there, Master Qiyuan and his brothers were working together to deal with an illusory shadow. Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng watched for a while and found that they brothers could handle it.
They went to check on the old woman and discovered that she was having a sweet dream, so they immediately left.
Master Decheng said to the phantom, "Humans and ghosts have different paths. If you really want to come and pick her up, at least wait until her life is over."
The phantom swayed, and Shanzheng sighed, "You've seen it too, she's living a good life, and since you've left her for so many years, why do you have to pretend to be deeply in love with her?
Your appearance again and again will only hurt her and make her fall deeper into the mud. ”
The shadow shrank, and Master Qi Yuan was so anxious that he stabbed it with his sword. The shadow suddenly became smaller, and then wind and snow started to blow, and the shadow disappeared in the wind and snow.
Master Qicheng was so angry that he slapped the ground hard, leaving a big hole.
Master Decheng and his group returned to the courtyard and sat under the eaves. Master Qicheng said angrily, "It escaped again."
Qi Yuan Zhenren sighed and said, "We are not good enough in learning the art."
When Master Qicheng heard what Master Qiyuan said, he was very dissatisfied and said, "We should use the compass to capture it."
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng sat under the eaves in silence. The sky gradually brightened, and they didn't know whether the night had been wasted or not.
It was just a family in the capital city. When they saw the big pit in the yard in the morning, the faces of the family members changed. They couldn't help but be on guard against the old woman.
The old woman looked at the big pit in the yard with an indifferent expression on her face and said to her family, "I will go to the temple to live for a few days."
Everyone in the capital knew about it that day. Someone had dug a big hole in the old woman's yard at night, forcing the old woman to go to the temple to avoid the wind in the middle of winter.
At 3 p.m., Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan heard the news that the old woman had gone to the temple. They were surprised and said to Aunt Liu, "Aunt, just because of a hole in the yard, the old woman went to live in the temple?"
"The old lady believes in Buddhism, and Buddha will bless her."
Aunt Liu thought that the temple was the safest place for the old woman now.
When Qi Yuan Zhenren and his brothers heard that the old woman had gone to the temple again, they immediately gave up the idea of staying there for a while.
They turned to discuss with Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng whether they could stay at the Taoist temple for a few days.
Master Decheng looked at them and shook his head, saying, "The Taoist temple looks big from the outside, but in fact, there are only a few rooms inside, which are only enough for the people in the Taoist temple to live in."
Shanzheng Zhenren said to them, "You haven't found a suitable courtyard, so you can stay here for a few more days."
After Xia Yu knew that he didn't have to stay at the temple, he said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan, "I still want to live near you."
In fact, there were two vacant courtyards nearby, but the brothers Qiyuan looked at several of them and always felt that these courtyards were not as good in location as the one owned by Master Decheng.
Now that Master Qiyuan and his brothers had finished discussing it, they went to find Zhongya to ask about the matter of the empty courtyard.
Zhongya sighed and said, "The two previous yards have been rented out, and there is no vacant yard nearby now."
This time, Master Qiyuan's brothers were not picky as before, and explained their ideas in detail to Zhongya. Zhongya saw that they were very sincere and said that as long as he had time in the yard, he would come and talk to them first.
The brothers Qiyuan Zhenren wanted to go to the Taoist temple to visit the abbot, so Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng were willing to introduce them.
When the four of them went out, Xia Yu was completely relaxed: "Xiao Liu, Sister Lan, let's go to the teahouse to listen to storytelling. Let's go to the teahouse near the old woman."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan had originally planned to go to the teahouse, so they naturally followed his wishes.
After they got there, they searched several teahouses and finally found one that was vacant.
They sat down to drink tea and eat cakes, and listened to people around them talking about what strange things had happened to the old woman again and again.
"Their steward's daughter-in-law gave birth to three children yesterday."
"Ah, this is a great joyous event. How many of them survived?"
"All of them survived. I heard from the midwife on the street next to my neighbor's house that if they were well cared for, all three would survive."
"The young masters and young ladies of their family have recently arranged their marriages. I heard that it was the old lady who made the decision."
"Yesterday, a young lady from their family got married off."
"Hey, I didn't see any red decorations on their doorstep yesterday."
