"Taoist Priest, is there something wrong?" Lin Yu looked at Taoist Priest's hesitant expression and felt that something was wrong.
From the time he came in until now, he seems to have been very interested in Lin Qian's affairs.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm used to it. I've been traveling around the world a lot. When I see people with such weird faces, I can't help but feel curious."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Eat food, eat food. After eating, you can do some work."
Daochang Liu casually found an excuse to excuse himself. Obviously he didn't want to tell the truth about what he saw.
Hearing Daochang Liu's words, Lin Yu's expression moved slightly, but he didn't say anything else.
It's not a word of speculation, their relationship is just employment.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.
A rather sumptuous lunch ended.
After they finished their meal, a steward hurried in and said something in Lin Yu's ear with a solemn expression.
Although he didn't know what the butler said, he knew from Lin Yu's changing expression that something was definitely not going well.
Lin Qian, who was petting the cat, didn't care. He knew exactly what he was talking about.
That's what happened in the yard this morning.
After the housekeeper explained the matter clearly and told Lin Yu everything.
Lin Yu's eyes looked different when he looked at Lin Qian.
"I understand. You can go down first. We have paid for all the soup and medicine for the two injured maids and servants."
"Give them a few days off, let them recover well, and keep their wages."
After hearing what Lin Yu said, the housekeeper quickly agreed.
"You don't have to worry about the rest. Let's gather people first. We'll go to the east later. Remember to bring the tools." Lin Yu continued to make arrangements.
"I know, I'll make arrangements right away." The housekeeper nodded repeatedly and left quickly.
Looking at the housekeeper leaving, Lin Yu looked at Daochang Liu with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Taoist Priest, there are some weird things going on in the mansion, and you may need your help to check it out."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Daochang Liu looked slightly confused, a little confused.
"It won't be clear for a while, so let's talk as we walk." Lin Yu said;
"What are you doing standing around and not leading the way? It's just a cat, what's the fun?"
Seeing Lin Qian holding the cat and playing with it after eating, Lin Yu felt a little angry.
"Lin Yu, please don't get angry. It's not good for your health. Peace is the most important thing, and quietness and inaction..." Daochang Liu was shocked when he heard Lin Yu's attitude towards Lin Qian, and quickly spoke to persuade him.
Seeing Daochang Liu say this, Lin Yu took a deep breath and said nothing more.
Lin Qian put the cat on his shoulder, and the cat squatted on Lin Qian's shoulder obediently.
Lin Qian didn't care about Lin Yu's words. He glanced at Daochang Liu, his eyes twinkling slightly.
"Be quiet and do nothing, haha, it's interesting."
Lin Qian walked towards the yard without talking nonsense. Seeing this, Lin Yu quickly greeted Daochang Liu and the other two.
"Taoist Master, please come this way."
After saying that, they followed Lin Qian towards the courtyard, where the crazy Liuzi was tied up.
Daochang Liu touched his forehead, stretched out his hand and saw that he was covered in cold sweat. He looked at Lin Qian, who was sitting on the black cat on his shoulder.
The fear in his eyes became even stronger.
This person is dead, which is extremely strange and ominous, a sign of great misfortune.
"Follow me. After this is done, let's leave the Lin Mansion quickly. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time." Daochang Liu said to his apprentice, and then quickly followed him.
When the little Taoist priest heard what his master said, he didn't know what happened, but since the master said this, he must have a reason.
He didn't ask anything and quickly followed the team.
When they came to the courtyard, Daochang Liu shrank his eyes slightly when he saw Liuzi tied to the pillar.
He looked at the unconscious Liuzi, then at the black cat on Lin Qian's shoulder, and already had a guess in his mind.
"This is it. This is one of them. The other one is the well inside. It's still calm now that it's pressed down by rocks."
Lin Qian called a servant over: "Tell Daozhang Liu what happened here."
Hearing Lin Qian's words, the servant nodded quickly:
"I got it, Brother Lin."
"I'll go to the east to help watch, and we'll start when Director Liu comes over." Lin Qian looked at Lin Yu again and said.
"Okay, you can go and watch. Those people still need you to take the lead. After all, what we are doing is not very good." After hearing Lin Qian's words, Lin Yu thought about it carefully and did not refuse.
"Okay, I'll leave first." Lin Qian looked at Master Liu Daochang and his disciples, turned around and left the yard calmly.
Seeing Lin Qian leaving, Daochang Liu breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
The danger seems to be far away.
"Tell me, what happened here." Liu Daochang looked at Liu Zi who was still unconscious and asked the servant who was called by Lin Qian.
Upon hearing Daochang Liu's inquiry, the servant did not dare to hesitate and quickly told everything that happened in the yard.
After the servant finished speaking, Liu Daochang's expression became extremely solemn. He glanced at Liuzi, and then looked at the well in the yard.
He lowered his head and began to think. After being silent for a while, he spoke:
"It's not a big problem. I have a talisman here. If you turn it into water and give it to him to drink, he will be fine. As for the contents of the well, there is no need to worry about that."
"Since it has no signs of coming out, don't provoke it first. We can deal with it after we finish moving the grave."
After the servant explained in detail what happened in the yard, Lin Yu's face became unhappy.
When he heard Daochang Liu's arrangement, he thought about it and did not reject the proposal:
"Then just listen to the Taoist priest."
"Well, this is a talisman. You take it and melt it for him to drink. If you want to get better quickly, you can add some pot ashes. That's okay." Daochang Liu took out a talisman from his sleeve and handed it to the servant.
.
"I understand, Taoist Master, I'll do it right away." The servant quickly took the talisman and left quickly.
It was obvious that he really wanted to cure Liu Zi as soon as possible.
Seeing that the matter had been decided, Lin Yu felt relieved:
"In that case, let's go to the east as soon as possible. The sooner we can do this, the better I'll feel."
Lin Yu said to Daochang Liu that he was really anxious about this matter.
The Gu Mansion has already done it, now it's up to their family. If it continues, God knows what weird things will happen.
Today is already a reminder to them.
Daochang Liu did not refuse, he also wanted to resolve this matter quickly.
There was an unknown person like Lin Qian in the Lin Mansion, and he was extremely panicked.
Without much hesitation, Liu Daochang and Lin Yu simply packed up and hurried towards the east, that is, the cliff.
Today is the day when Mr. Lin's son was unearthed.
The sun is shining and the gold is legendary...
"Go to the cliff? What is Lin Wudi doing?"
Ye Zhen looked at the email sent by Lin Qian and was a little confused. It also specifically reminded him to hide it and not let anyone in the Lin family see it.
"Are we going to dig up the grave again? Last time it was my sister, this time it's that red-haired one?"
Ye Zhen touched his chin and turned his eyes slightly.
"If this is the case, this dungeon will officially begin. New couples will be unearthed on both sides. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be ready to get married within two days."
"Things are getting interesting."
Ye Zhen's expression became excited. After spending more than two days here, he was finally going to meet the real owner.
"Walk."
Thinking of this, Ye Zhen walked directly outside Gu's mansion. He was still very interested in the red-haired unearthed animal.
"Hey... Where are you going, Agu?" The girl looked at Ye Zhen who was walking quickly towards the outside of the house and quickly followed her, hugging Ye Zhen's arm.
The soft pressure on her head made Ye Zhen couldn't help but shiver.
"Girl, can you be more reserved?" Ye Zhen said.
"I don't, husband, where are you going?" The girl looked at Ye Zhen affectionately.
Well……
"You don't care where I go." Ye Zhen said and walked towards the outside of Gu's house without looking back. The girl was hanging on Ye Zhen's body and was dragged forward by Ye Zhen.
Gu Qian, who just came out to relax, saw this scene as soon as he came out, and suddenly became a little silent: "How decent is this tugging!"
Thinking that I was still sleeping in the living room, I couldn't help but feel a little bored.
"It's really immoral!" Gu Qian waved his sleeves and turned around to leave the yard. Now he was no longer in the mood for a walk.
They all blame Ye Zhen and the young couple.
The warm sunshine shone in the woods, and Ye Zhen and the girl quietly hid behind a branch.
In the cliff at this moment, a Taoist priest was opening an altar to perform religious rituals with a solemn expression. Lin Qian was sitting on a stone not far away. Next to him, seven or eight servants holding shovels, hemp ropes, and coffin-carrying sticks were looking at this with great interest.
One scene.
What the Taoist priest did was similar to what the Gu family had asked the Taoist priest to do before, with the same arrangement, two dragon and phoenix candles, and two black talismans with birth dates written on them.
A note of red incense emitting red smoke.
Even the incantations they recited were exactly the same.
As the Taoist priest moved the talisman around the dragon and phoenix candle, the originally light yellow flame instantly turned blood red. What was different from before was that this time the smell emanating from the dragon and phoenix candle was very unpleasant.
It's extremely pungent, and the smell is like a corpse that has been rotting for several months. The smell is so sour and refreshing.
As the smell appeared, almost everyone covered their noses, except Lin Qian and Liu Daochang.
Looking at the talisman eroded by the flames, Daochang Liu frowned, but his expression was relieved. He looked at the misty red smoke, turned to shout to Lin Qian and others.
"When moving the tomb, everything must be done before the red incense burns out."
After hearing the old Taoist priest's instructions, Lin Qian nodded and said that the servants could work. The servants they brought this time were specially selected, and all the servants who were not suitable for Taoist Master Liu were called back.
Therefore, there was no situation where the servants turned their backs to the altar.
"Don't talk when breaking ground. Don't see blood. The speed should be fast but steady. You can go slowly but not in a hurry." Liu Daochang looked at the servant who picked up the shovel and was about to start work, and said a few words of reminder.
"I know." The servants responded in unison.
Lin Qian picked up the shovel from the ground and planned to dig two handfuls of soil, but as soon as he was about to walk over, a servant quickly ran over and took the shovel from his hand.
"Brother Lin, why do you need to come forward in this matter? Just a few of us brothers are enough. You have to rest for now. We will dig out the young master... and move him out in a while."
"That's right, Brother Lin, just rest. It's enough to have us here. You don't need to do it yourself."
Seven or eight servants echoed the words. After hearing this, Lin Qian hesitated for a while, but finally said nothing, just nodded and sat on the stone again.
Seeing Lin Qian sitting back on the stone, several servants breathed a sigh of relief, smiles appeared on their faces, and they quickly ran towards the tomb standing in front of the cliff.
When Lin Yu saw this scene, he didn't think it was inappropriate. Instead, he thought it was normal.
"Taoist Master, is there no problem now?" Lin Yu looked at the servants who were starting to break ground and asked with some worry.
"There is no problem now. When the coffin is carried back, it must not fall to the ground. As long as the coffin is lifted, it cannot touch the ground. Other than that, there is no problem." Daochang Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at it.
He looked at Lin Qian, who was sitting on the stone with a calm expression.
"With this guy here, even if you want to cause trouble, nothing will happen. The thing in the coffin is not as dangerous as him."
Daochang Liu did not say these words. There are some things that cannot be revealed face to face, such as this. The two masters and apprentices are living very well, and they have not yet gone to the point of meeting the ancestor.
"Is that so? Then I'll be relieved." Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could finish this matter safely, he would be worthy of his son.
"Oh... what a bad fate, no matter how hard we beat each other, we are not going to be together in the end. Gu Qian, Gu Qian, you owe me your life." Lin Yu looked at the name on the tombstone, his eyes a little sad.
They were originally a pair of mandarin ducks made in heaven, but they ended up having a bad fate. Haha, it is really good for your parents to say that they are doing your best.
If the branches cannot be connected in life, then they will share the same hole after death. This is really worthy of the phrase "desperate mandarin ducks".
Fresh grave soil was brought out one shovel after another. In just a few minutes, a blood-red coffin was revealed in front of everyone's eyes.
The moment he saw the coffin appear, Daochang Liu's expression changed slightly: "Red coffin! How could it be!"
He quickly came to the coffin, and a coldness hit his face. He looked at the blood-red coffin, feeling a little silent.
"I can understand a woman wearing a red coffin. After all, she died young, but why should a man wear a red coffin? A man who died young should wear a black coffin, unless, unless this was prepared for a ghost marriage from the beginning..." Liu Daochang's expression
The changes were uncertain. He turned his head and looked at Lin Yu, who looked calm, and his eyes shrank slightly.
"Taoist Priest, do you have any questions?" Lin Yu walked over quickly, a little confused and worried.
"No, there's no problem. Since the coffin has appeared, let's move it out quickly. Time is running out." Daochang Liu looked deeply at Lin Yu and said nothing more.
There are some things that you cannot ask. If you ask them, the master and disciple may not be able to go back.
The mountain breeze blew, and the unpleasant smell of rotting corpses slowly spread. Lin Qian looked at Daozhang Liu's sudden move, touched the black cat in his arms, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"A Taoist priest who thinks about everything is quite cautious."
He watched Daochang Liu silently retreat to the altar, and then quietly made a gesture to his disciple, telling him to keep quiet.
The little Taoist priest looked at the blood-colored coffin, swallowed, lowered his head silently and continued to burn the paper money. The red coffin for a man would make the family uneasy. At worst, he would lose his descendants, and at worst, his family would be destroyed, and the whole family would die.
It can be said that if you want to be evil, you will be evil, if you want to be cunning, you will be cunning, and it is extremely unclear.
The atmosphere became weird. As the coffin was unearthed, the two Taoist priests, one big and one small, didn't say a word the whole time. It wasn't until several servants fixed the hemp rope on the coffin and put on sticks that he spoke.
One sentence.
"Don't let the coffin fall to the ground during the whole process, remember!" Daochang Liu looked at everyone with a serious expression. Looking at Daochang Liu's serious expression, they all realized the seriousness of the coffin falling to the ground.
"That's it, let's lift the coffin!" Daochang Liu looked at the half-cut red incense and relaxed slightly.
After hearing Daochang Liu's words, Lin Yu grabbed a handful of grave soil and spread it in front of him. Then he personally took out a handful of yellow paper and walked in front of him, spreading it as he walked.
The coffin was easily lifted up by several people. Eight people were just able to carry it. Lin Qian was holding the black cat and walking behind the team. He looked at the master and apprentice who were cleaning up the altar, smiled and didn't say anything, and just followed the coffin.
Went back together.
"It is very interesting to say that only when a woman dies young will she be given a red coffin."
Lin Qian glanced at Ye Zhen and the two who were hiding behind the trees the whole time, and didn't pay too much attention.
"Disciple, don't say anything when we go back later. We have finished our work. We will leave immediately after getting the money. No matter what layman Lin says, we cannot spend the night in the Lin Mansion. It will not be peaceful tonight."
Daochang Liu, who was cleaning up the altar, gave instructions to his apprentice.
"Master, isn't this a little bad? We know something is going to happen, why don't we help? Even if we don't help, it's okay. We cultivators shouldn't be doing justice for heaven, right?"
"When something like this happens, why do we run away if we don't help?" The little Taoist priest looked at his master in confusion.
"Justice for God is nothing. God is very fair. Why do we need us to do justice for him? Justice for God is just an excuse for some hypocrites to do evil deeds."
"We as Taoists pay attention to tranquility and inaction. Taoism is natural. Everything in the world has its own destiny. Let nature take its course and that is their destination."
"Whether we participate or not, nothing can be changed. Take today's events as an example. Dark marriage is taboo, but why do the two of them still do it?"
"This is already against ethical standards. According to you, do we also have to do justice for heaven?"
"Disciple, you are still young and have not yet understood the true meaning of the world being unkind and treating all things as stupid dogs. Tao follows nature and we can just go with it. It is not simply that I think this is wrong or that it is wrong.
"
"Everything must follow a sequence of cause and effect, and doing justice for heaven is not something we can talk about. Since all things exist, they must have their own reasons for existence. This is true for humans, livestock, and ghosts and demons."
"Study well and look good, your days will be long."
Listening to what the master said, the little Taoist priest scratched his head and felt a little confused. He seemed to understand but not understand.
Lin Qian, who was walking behind the team, paused slightly, and his expression changed slightly: "Cause and effect, sequence..."
