Chen Youfu knew in his heart what happened, but he couldn't say it. This was Chen Youfu's eternal secret. He could only cater to what Aunt Guihua said: "What Aunt Guihua said is absolutely true, and I also expected it to be so."
Aunt Zhu and Aunt Chen also came out. They had been busy for a long time. Fortunately, mother and son were safe. The three said goodbye to Chen Youfu and prepared to go home. Chen Youfu thanked the three and invited them to go back to the house for a drink.
Tea, the three of them all declined. Chen Youfu hurriedly entered the room and took out some brocades woven and embroidered by Tian himself. Seeing Chen Youfu's kindness, the three accepted the brocades and went out each other.
Chen Youfu returned to the house and picked up his son with a tiger head and a tiger head. The more he looked at his son, the more he liked him. Except that Tian was weak after giving birth, there was nothing serious. Tian looked at the happy Chen Youfu and said, "My son just fell asleep, don't be surprised."
I owe him. Today is thanks to Aunt Zhu and the others. I will be blessed tomorrow. You have to thank them for me."
"I know this, you have a good rest, I'm going to prepare the money and eggs for the wedding." After saying that, Lehehe placed his son next to Mr. Tian and turned around to go to the outhouse.
Chen Youfu first went to the courtyard and bowed three times to the green bamboo: "Today it is all thanks to the divine power of the sacred bamboo that the mother and son are safe." Just as Chen Youfu was thanking the green bamboo, a voice suddenly came from mid-air:
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, Chen Shanren, poor Taoist, please bow your head." Chen Youfu raised his head and looked to the sky, and couldn't help shouting: "Ah, monster."
I saw a man in a purple Taoist robe floating in the air. He was nine feet and two inches tall, with thick eyebrows, broad eyebrows, green eyes on the top of his head, a square forehead, and two horns in his eyes. "Haha, don't be afraid, Mr. Chen, I am a poor Taoist.
Zhang Ling."
"Are you Zhang Tianshi?" Chen Youfu's mouth opened in surprise. Zhang Tianshi's reputation among the people is not ordinary. Zhang Ling's name is Zhang Daoling in Taoism. He founded the Five Pecks of Rice Road in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and was later regarded as the Taoist.
The founder of the religion. He is also known as the "Heavenly Lord who subdues demons and protects the Tao", "Gaoming Emperor", "Zhengyi Zhenren", and "Ancestral Master". Zhengyi Zhenren is the title awarded to him by Taishang Laojun. His Taoism is profound, and he can form demons.
He subdued demons and had great supernatural powers. He knew the Four Books and Five Classics, knew about astronomy and geography, and the books of Heluo Tuwei. He once entered the Imperial Academy and learned a lot about the classics. There is a Tianhe Temple outside Lin'an City where this Master Zhang is enshrined.
"Haha, Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, Pindao is none other than Master Zhang."
While speaking, the Heavenly Master Zhang was wearing a Vajra Universe Hoop on his head, holding a whisk in his hand, and a Yin-Yang Infinite Green Silk Ribbon tied around his waist. A three-foot-three-inch jujube-red peach wood sword was hung on the silk ribbon. He was dressed in a Taoist fairy style, with three strands of black beard floating on his chest.
, the clouds descended and fell into Chen Youfu's courtyard.
Chen Youfu hurriedly knelt down and begged, kowtowed as if ringing a bell, and said in his mouth: "Master Zhang, Zhenren Zhang, Shenxian Zhang, please save my son. Today, when the baby was born, there were thunderous thunders, and the sky closed. Just now,
There is also a monster inside this courtyard wall, and it is only thanks to the sacred bamboo given by Guanyin Bodhisattva that the mother and son are safe."
Zhang Tianshi laughed loudly: "Chen Shanren, please rise, Pindao is here for Linglang this time." A breath of fresh air lifted up Chen Youfu who was kneeling on the ground.
"Chen Shanren knows that he is a poor man, and Ling Lang was given to him in a dream by Master Guanyin. This person will do great things in the future, so you don't need to worry too much, Chen Shanren."
Chen Youfu thought to himself: When this child was born, the red light shot straight into the sky, he must be an immortal. But the child was coveted by demons and ghosts at such a young age. Now that the sacred bamboo has been broken, I really don’t know what to do in the future... Chen Youfu again
He wanted to kneel down and beg Zhang Tianshi, but there was something invisible on his knees that prevented Chen Youfu from kneeling down.
"Zhang Shenxian, my son is still in his infancy, but you see that the black and gray in this courtyard are all transformed by the seven-tailed fairy tail. I am only worried that the demons and monsters will attack again."
Zhang Tianshi stroked three strands of his long beard, nodded and said: "Chen Shanren, you don't know something. It's because of Ling Lang's immortal body that it attracted the demons to move. In the previous life, the seven-tailed demon fox was Zhang Lihua, the beloved concubine of Chen Shubao, the empress of Nanchen.
Zhang Lihua was born into a poor family, and her family relied on her father and brother to weave mats for a living. Later, Chen Shubao selected this girl for the crown prince and appointed her as a maid in the East Palace. Not long after Emperor Xuan died, Chen Shubao ascended the throne and named Zhang Lihua a noble concubine."
Chen Youfu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that this demon fox was actually a noble concubine in his previous life.
Zhang Tianshi continued: "Chen Shubao loved Zhang Lihua so much that he built the Jieqi Pavilion for her. The Jieqi Pavilion is dozens of feet high and stretches for dozens of rooms. It is a combination of the wonders of earth and wood and the ingenuity of man-made features. The windows are closed and the walls are railed.
The sills are all made of sandalwood and decorated with gold, jade, pearls and emeralds. There is a pearl curtain hanging at the door, and inside is a treasure tent. The clothes and ornaments are exquisite, and the utensils are magnificent. They are all unprecedented in modern times." Zhang Tianshi looked at the black ash all over the ground and sighed.
He took a breath. "The wealth and glory of the past are just passing clouds."
Chen Youfu asked strangely: "Then why did this noble concubine become a goblin again?"
Zhang Tianshi said: "Zhang Lihua was an unparalleled beauty during her lifetime. Her hair was seven feet long and black as bright as lacquer. Her face was like morning glow, her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were like autumn water, and her eyebrows were as dazzling as those looking at distant mountains. This woman is also
He was very smart, eloquent, and had a photographic memory. At that time, the eunuchs Cai Tuoer and Li Shandu compiled all the matters that were reported to the court by the eunuchs, and then handed them over to Chen Shubao for reading. Sometimes even Cai and Li forgot the contents.
She could answer every question without missing a single word. Later, Chen Shubao ignored the government affairs and indulged in extravagant behavior, and his subjects were content with enjoying themselves, making the entire prosperous Jiangnan a mess." Zhang Tianshi looked like he hated iron and steel.
"Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty sent more than 500,000 troops to attack Nanchen. King Yang Jun of Qin came down the river from Xiangyang, King Yang Guang of Jin set out from Liuhe, and the army of Yang Suji, the Duke of Qing Dynasty, approached Kangjian City, the capital of the Southern Dynasties. Then Chen Shubao was captured
The treacherous officials were deceived and played night after night. Until the Sui army defeated Kang Jiancheng, Han Qinhu led five hundred soldiers into the palace. However, there was no one in the palace. After searching the whole palace, they found it in a dry well in the back garden.
Chen Shubao, Zhang Lihua and Kong Guifei, the soldiers put down the rope, but they pulled up three people hugging each other tightly. Zhang Lihua's rouge was wiped on the dry well, which is now called Rouge Well. Jin Wang Yang Guang
Ordered to kill Zhang Lihua."
"Ah..." Chen Youfu didn't know why he felt a little pity for Zhang Lihua being beheaded.
Zhang Tianshi gently shook the whisk in his hand, and saw a whirlwind rolling up on the ground. It blew away the scattered bamboo branches and leaves in the courtyard, as well as the black ash of the demon fox.
"Zhang Shanren, you must know that all those who die unjustly, if they are not saved, can only turn into lonely ghosts. They will not enter the six realms of reincarnation and wander around the world of Yin and Yang all day long. Zhang Lihua turned into a resentful spirit after her death. It was a coincidence.
Then he resurrected the body of a three-tailed demon fox that was struck by lightning, swallowing wind and drinking dew every day to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. Now this seven-tailed demon fox has been practicing for more than 700 years, just because he is greedy for Linglang's immortal body.
Spiritual energy, so he transformed into a human form and harmed him. Who knows that the sky net is vast, sparse and not leaking. There is an arrangement in the dark. The devil is one foot high, the Tao is one foot high, and the infinite heaven..."
Zhang Tianshi took out a handful of dark objects from the sleeves of his Taoist robe and handed it to Chen Youfu. Chen Youfu took the object and looked at it carefully. The object was more than a foot long and quite heavy to hold. It was neither gold nor iron.
Zhang Tianshi said: "This thing is called the Magic Ruler. You can hang it in your room to avoid evil spirits."
Chen Youfu nodded in thanks and said hesitantly: "Chen Youfu, a layman, kindly asks Goddess Zhang to give my son a name."
Zhang Tianshi laughed and said: "Ling Lang's previous life was far more brilliant than me, Zhang Ling, but he only realized Taoism in the lower world. I will have a relationship with him in the future. These are secrets that he will know in the future. Since Chen Shanren wants me to do it,
I, Zhang Ling, will be shameless in choosing my son’s name. If this son has a dream for Guanyin, let’s call him Mengsheng. When he was born, there was a green bamboo splitting to protect him. Let’s call him Qingzhu.”
"Chen Mengsheng, Chen Mengsheng, whose courtesy name is Qingzhu. What a good name. Thank you Zhang Shenxian for giving me the name." Chen Youfu bowed deeply to Zhang Tianshi.
"Chen Shanren, you don't need to be polite. One more thing, I don't want to complain. The magic ruler can only drive away the demons and monsters, but it is useless to mortals. I hope Chen Shanren will stay away from villains. Zhang Ling said goodbye, Chen Shanren
Take care of yourself. Don't talk about today's events to a third person..."
When Chen Youfu was about to ask Zhang Tianshi what he meant, there was no sign of Zhang Tianshi in the courtyard. Only Chen Youfu was left in a daze holding the Demon-Conquering Ruler in his hand...
Tian Cui'e gave birth to a child and the house was filled with red lights. Within half a day, everyone knew about it through Aunt Guihua's mouth. There was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate her. The rich ones were given silver bracelets and silver locks.
Ah, if you don’t have much money, give some copper coins or iron coins. In fact, if your family is poor, two eggs can be regarded as a gift. There are also those who come with empty hands to express their congratulations...
(The coins of the Southern Song Dynasty may be the most chaotic in Chinese history. From the Northern Song Dynasty, Jiaozi was issued in Sichuan, to the Huizi of the Southern Song Dynasty. Later, because the Song Dynasty could not make ends meet, Song Taizong unified the Central Plains and the South in order to seize Youzi.
Yun Liuzhou, attacked Liao. In 979 AD, there was a fierce battle on the Gaoliang River, and the Song army was defeated. One hundred thousand Song troops fought fiercely with the Liao army. The famous Liao general, Nanyuan King Yelu Xiuge, led 9,000 cavalry and defeated the 100,000 Song army. The whole army was annihilated.
, Emperor Taizong was hit by two arrows and fled back to the south in a donkey cart. Therefore, during the years of war, the Song Dynasty not only lost money to buy peace, but the generals at that time were still very good at fighting. The most typical one was Yue Fei. The emperor could fight no matter how hard he wanted to resist.
The generals were also older girls who had no power to give birth to children. In addition, there were a large number of Jiaozi Guan at that time, and the owners of the Huizi Guan ran away with their money. The rich people were left with only waste paper that could not be cashed, so Huizi Jiaozi eventually
was stopped from circulation. Among the people circulating among the people are gold leaves, gold ingots, silver, copper coins, and iron coins, but the main ones are still copper coins and silver.)
Chen Youfu treated everyone who came to congratulate him equally. No matter if you were polite or empty-handed, you would always be greeted with a smile. He would let you come into the room to eat wedding cakes and share wedding eggs. After waiting for those who came to congratulate you, Chen Youfu would go out.
The children's three-chao banquet was held to entertain the relatives and friends who came to express their congratulations.
