Chapter 1,527 An evil ghost appears in the Wang family
After delivering the funeral ceremony, Luo Guan thanked the servants and sat on the table. It was a coincidence that since they arrived one after another, the people he sat at the table with were the same people who just spoke to each other. Listening to their conversation, they were from outside the city.
The same village.
When they saw strangers, they chatted for a while, and their voices were a little lower, but in Luo Guan's ears, they were still clearly audible.
"Did you hear about it? A water god named Jinlin Empress recently appeared in the Xiaoliu River. She has quite magical powers. When the Zhang family encountered water ghosts while sailing, it was Jinlin Empress who took action and saved the lives of the people on the boat.
The Zhang family's property has been lost. This family is planning to pay for the construction of a temple for the Golden Scale Empress."
"That's what happened. The Zhang family sent people from our village and the village next door. As long as they work, they will be paid, thirty copper coins a day, and they will have two full meals. My mother asked me to sign up too. Isn't it easy to make money?
That's right, give the Golden Scale Empress some incense and bless her in the future."
At this moment, a sneer sounded. It was the man who saluted with thorns and had nothing to lose. He was tall and had a bit of fierceness on his face. "What kind of golden-scaled empress is she just a mixed-scaled water fish? I thought to myself.
For the sake of our acquaintance, I would like to remind you not to get involved in this matter, as it won’t be long before this Golden Scale Empress is finished!”
After that, regardless of the ugly faces of several people, he wiped his mouth, pushed the dishes and chopsticks, stood up and walked away in a stride.
Looking at his back, a few people dared not say anything, "I heard that this boy Wang Dali also worshiped a water god with others in the past two months. He was called the Black Dragon King in the upper reaches of the Xiaoliu River. He seemed to have received some benefits. Recently,
He speaks and acts quite arrogantly, and I wonder what he is doing in the city this time?"
"He is so brave to say disrespectful things to the Water Goddess!"
"Forget it, forget it, we're all from the same village, just pretend you didn't hear it." Several people lowered their heads to eat and said nothing more.
Luo Guan heard all this, his eyes flickered but he said nothing.
At this moment, a group of carriages and horses came. It seemed that he was a distinguished guest. The servants of the Wang family trotted to report. Soon, the middle door opened wide, and Mr. Wang led people to greet him. He saluted from afar.
, "The county magistrate has come in person. The Wang family has missed the welcome. Please forgive me!"
The county magistrate looked to be in his forties, with a beard, and quite a bit of grace. After hearing this, he cupped his hands and said: "Mrs. Wang was kind to me back then. Now that she has passed away, it is natural for her to come to worship. Mr. Wang doesn't need to be more polite."
There was a hint of sadness on his face, "In addition to the funeral, I also personally wrote an elegiac couplet for the old lady to express my condolences."
Mr. Wang looked touched, "The county magistrate is thoughtful, and my mother must be very happy to know about it." He quickly took the elegiac couplet with both hands, "Quickly, write it in the county magistrate's handwriting and place it carefully in the middle."
There was a burst of admiration in the crowd. Mrs. Wang helped a down-and-out scholar back then. Now he has succeeded in the scientific examination and has become the county magistrate of a city. He also wrote an elegiac couplet with his own hands and sent the old lady off to the west on a crane. It is a true blessing.
A great story.
At this moment, the county magistrate suddenly let out a cry of surprise, took two steps quickly, and his eyes fell on a piece of calligraphy, "What a calligraphy! What a calligraphy! This...I don't know who wrote it in someone's handwriting...Stop it, stop it!"
The county magistrate stopped the servants of the Wang family, his face turned red, "Master, how dare you replace it with my character? Just put it there, put my official's elegiac couplet next to the master... No, put it in the corner... my character, my character,
Compared with the master, I am really ashamed..." Reluctantly, after looking at him for several times, the magistrate stepped into the mansion.
Mr. Wang frowned, glanced at the word "An" hanging in the center of the quilt, and then glanced at the county magistrate's elegiac couplet in the corner. His brows suddenly tightened, and he waved, "This is
Who put the word here? It’s just one word, what kind of elegiac couplet is it? It’s just playing the piano randomly!”
The accountant was sweating on his forehead, "This... this was written casually by a gentleman passing by. I'm afraid he may have left after eating on the flowing water mat..."
Mr. Wang waved his hand and said, "Pick it for me. Don't let the county magistrate see it again. Do you hear me? In addition, put the county magistrate's elegiac couplet in the most conspicuous place." He didn't care whether the words were good or not. The county magistrate is the Wang family.
As the most distinguished guest, he must let the county magistrate get the respect he deserves. Of course, more importantly, he must let people know that he has a close relationship with the county magistrate.
When Mr. Wang left, the cashier secretly cursed him for being short-sighted, then his eyes lit up, and he drove away his servants and carefully took out the word "An". The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
At this moment, footsteps sounded, and the cashier looked up and was suddenly surprised, "Sir, if you... you have eaten well, you'd better leave quickly..." He had just excused himself and said that he had left for the sake of this gentleman.
, to avoid unnecessary branches.
After all, Mr. Wang is not a kind person!
Luo Guan nodded, "I was about to leave. Since I have this calligraphy in your hand, I will give it to you." He raised his head and glanced at the Wang family again. At this moment, a layer of black mist invisible to the naked eye began to gather in the sky again.
But because it was broken once before, the scale and concentration will be greatly reduced, and it won't cause big trouble, so just let him go.
Luo Guan shook his head and walked away.
"Thank you sir!" The cashier was overjoyed and quickly saluted. His heart was beating "bang bang" and he felt at ease.
It seems that this painting truly belongs to him after he opens his mouth.
The Wang family, the county magistrate who had just sat down, suddenly received a report that there seemed to be thieves outside the city, and an entire foreign caravan disappeared. He was immediately startled, and after hurriedly worshiping, he took the people away without paying attention to the door.
My own elegiac couplet is placed in the middle.
call--
The autumn wind blew, making the elegiac couplets rustle. Suddenly, with a "crack" sound, the county magistrate's elegiac couplet was torn to pieces, and the word "Fuze" was suddenly mutilated and distorted.
The servant of the Wang family who was standing by the side shivered and looked up at the sky. It was still the same sun just now. Why did he suddenly feel cold?
There was only the accountant sitting behind the table, reaching out to touch his chest. He couldn't suppress the joy at the corner of his mouth, and his whole body was warm. He was completely unaware of the changes in his surroundings.
The county magistrate came and went in a hurry, which disappointed Mr. Wang who had prepared a lot. He was not young, and he had a lot of troubles with his mother and young son. At this moment, he felt tired, so he turned back to the inner courtyard to take a rest first.
.
After the distinguished guest left and the host was away, the mages who performed the duties began to be a little perfunctory.
The old mage sitting in the altar, wearing a seven-star Taoist robe, a mahogany sword in one hand, and a ghost-painted talisman in one hand, looked majestic and muttered something in his mouth, but in fact he was chatting with the disciples around him, "The Wang family has a rich fortune, and this time it cost a lot of money."
As for the price, you all have to be careful, and everything that needs to be burned will be burned. At the worst, we, master and apprentice, can go back and work harder to draw more."
After a pause, he said, "We have to be conscientious when we take other people's money to eliminate disasters!"
The little Taoist boy on the left was a little scared, "Master, I heard that the old lady of the Wang family and the young master were killed by evil spirits, but what's the matter? Why do I feel that even though they are staying in the Wang family in the clear sky, they feel a little cold all over?"
Woolen cloth."
The old mage sneered without moving the corner of his mouth, "Learn from your senior brother, how can you inherit my mantle in the future with just this little courage? It's just nonsense to say that you died because of an evil encounter."
He thought for a while and then lowered his voice, "Have you seen the bell on my master's wrist? This is a treasure left by your master. It can only be rung when there is real trouble. It will never make any noise on weekdays."
"Now, do you hear the bell ringing? Keep it in your heart, we will stay at the Wang family this time and perform rituals for seven days. This is a big deal..."
Ding ding ding——
A bell suddenly rang. At this moment, the old mage happened to be facing the mourning hall. The red rope tied around his wrist tightened and became hot, making him take a breath. Vaguely, he seemed to see two floating shadows in the dark mourning hall.
, looking over with a ferocious smile.
"Ahem..." The old mage choked on his saliva, but after all, it was Lao Jianghu who faced everyone's astonished eyes and regained his composure without changing his expression, "I'm old. Fortunately, I can live up to my fate and do my best.
Having saved the souls of the dead, eldest disciple and second disciple, please collect the magical weapons and we will leave now."
The two disciples, whose faces were pale and their bodies were trembling, lowered their heads and tidied up hastily, then turned around and left with the old mage.
snap——
The eldest apprentice slipped and fell, grinning. His face turned white again and again, but he did not dare to make any sound.
"Alas! Didn't the mage say that he would perform rituals for seven days in a row? Why did he leave now? He hasn't settled the bill yet, so the three mage stayed behind!" The steward hurriedly chased after him, with a look of surprise on his face.
The old mage strode forward without looking back, "My master and disciple have to save the souls of the dead and ensure peace in the world. This is their duty, so there is no need for money. The housekeeper will stay and we will leave!"
No money?!
The butler's eyes widened and he looked around. No one seemed to notice this. He stopped immediately, turned his eyes and smiled.
He turned back and informed the master that the three mages worked hard and completed the salvation in one day, so the asking price tripled. He managed to negotiate a deal at double the price.
Well, the master will definitely be satisfied with this result!
"Hurry! Hurry!" The old mage almost started trotting all the way. He glanced at the sky. It was obvious that the sun still had some time to go before setting, but the sunlight was so pale that people could not feel the slightest warmth. He was so frightened that he wished he could fly out.
, the further away from here the better.
Suddenly, the second disciple's mournful voice sounded in his ears, "Master, have we been to this place just now? Look at the trees in the garden, I saw them just now."
The old mage suddenly raised his head, and cold sweat spread all over his forehead in an instant.
Yeah yeah!
They were frightened and confused. Although the Wang family residence was large in size, the three masters and apprentices hurried away. Why were they still here when they should have gone out?
Ghost hitting the wall?
No!
This is a ghost trapping people. At this moment, the Wang family, with the mourning hall as the center, has become a tomb. The evil ghost has not moved yet because it is not dark yet. When the sun sets, everyone in the Wang family will not be able to escape.
call--
A gust of wind blew, and the three masters and apprentices fell into an ice cave, their upper and lower teeth chattering. The skylight above their heads quickly dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's getting dark!
Just when the three mages, one old, two young, looked desperate, footsteps suddenly sounded, and the accountant came in a hurry, "Huh? Three mages, why are you here?"
The old mage looked at the accountant, his eyes straightened, "Ahem... Well, I'm tired, and I was looking for a place to rest, but the Wang family's house is too big, and I lost my way with my two disciples."
"Oh, that's it..." Mr. Accountant nodded, and before he could say anything else, the old mage directly supported him, "Well, I'm dizzy. Please Mr. Accountant, please take me to drink a cup of hot tea, otherwise I will
Gonna pass out."
The accountant was startled and said quickly: "Okay, the three mages will come with me."
The old mage who was being supported opened his eyes a little and looked into the arms of the counting house. The clear light was like a wave, rippling around in circles, protecting the counting house. Now he was also exposed to the light, and he felt as if he was covered in ice.
The cold has faded away, and it seems to be under the warm sun.
He didn't know what kind of treasure the accountant was carrying. At this moment, he just had the thought that the lives of the three of my disciples should not be cut off today!
Bang——
Entered the house and closed the door tightly.
The old mage took a long breath, picked up the teapot and drank a few sips. The accountant was stunned and said, "Master, what are you doing?"
"Don't ask, we are masters and disciples today, and we owe you a big favor. We will stay here tonight, and we will talk about anything tomorrow." The old mage said, and looked out the window. The sun had just set, but the Wang family was already there.
It was pitch black.
It's like ink rendering, and you can't see your fingers when you reach out.
hiss--
This evil ghost is so fierce!
The accountant was not stupid. He glanced at the three mages and then looked at the dark and sticky night outside. "Gudong" swallowed and said, "Okay... okay... then tonight, I will have to work with three mages..." He
His voice was trembling, and his face was a little pale.
