Zhu Xi quickly raised his feet, but the cloth shoes were still covered with horse dung.
"unlucky!"
Zhu Xi cursed and walked in step by step.
There are two strong men guarding the gate of Zhuangzi. The gate is very high and you can rush through on horseback without worrying about hitting your head.
The two door panels are very thick, with a layer of copper skin and copper nails on the surface.
Walking into the gate, rows of houses are neatly arranged in the village. There are schools, independent houses, ponds, gardens, and even markets. It is a world of its own.
In the middle of Zhuangzi is a Buddhist hall, where people go in from time to time to offer incense.
"Let you run, let you run!"
There were screams not far from the door, but Zhu Xi didn't care.
It was a man who had been captured and was being hung up and beaten. His clothes were stripped off and the whip left bloody marks on his body.
Zhu Yong led a group of idle men into the school grounds, danced with guns and clubs, and left their prey to the kitchen to be cleaned up.
Zhu Xi stepped on horse manure and went back to her room to change her shoes.
After entering the room, a maid immediately came to serve him.
Zhu Xi sat down on the chair and raised her feet. The maid immediately knelt down to help Zhu Xi take off her shoes and socks, and found another pair to put on.
After changing her shoes and socks, Zhu Xi stood up and walked out of the room. A nice-looking maid came over and said, "Butler, Madam asked you to come over."
This maid is Hongmei, the personal maid of the wife Mu.
"Oh, what happened?"
Zhu Xi had already vaguely guessed that it was probably the same thing.
Hongmei seemed reluctant to mention it and said, "It's still the same thing."
Zhu Xi's face darkened, and he immediately followed the maid Hongmei to the backyard.
The mansion where Zhu Yong lives is to the south of Zhuangzi. It is a large mansion with nine entrances.
After passing through many doors, Zhu Xi arrived at the main room where Mu was staying.
"Madam, the housekeeper is here."
The maid Hongmei entered the room first, where sat a rich woman wearing navy blue silk clothes. She looked kind-hearted and had a mole on the corner of her mouth that was very conspicuous.
This person is Zhu Yong's first wife, Mu.
"lady."
Zhu Xi came in and bowed to the Mu family.
Sitting on the Grand Master's chair, Mrs. Mu asked the butler Zhu Xi to stand and said, "Butler, the sound was still there last night. Didn't the Master come here? Why is it useless?"
Zhu Xi said helplessly: "I don't know either. The master was invited from Zhaoti Temple. Logically speaking, it should be useful."
Mu said solemnly: "I think that thing is powerful, so why not ask Master Jingyan to practice it again? Master Jingyan came last time and the thing stopped for a while. I think Master Jingyan's Dharma is good."
"
Butler Zhu Xi agreed: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
Mu nodded and said, "Go quickly, people in Zhuangzi are in panic."
The housekeeper left the room and walked forward, thinking about what Mu ordered.
Zhujiazhuang has always been nice, but two months ago, for some reason, it suddenly became haunted.
At night, there would always be crying sounds. At first I thought it was a female slave crying secretly, but later it happened that someone saw a female ghost.
Zhu Yong's ninth concubine Runyu was even scared to death.
That night, Runyun was sleeping in her room. In her dream, she felt her nose was itchy, so she scratched her nose. When she opened her eyes, there was a female ghost in the tent, almost face to face with her, and her hair fell on her face.
superior.
Runyu was so frightened that she lost all her soul and soul, as if she had lost her mind.
Zhu Yong had done a lot of harm to his heart and thought that those who had been tortured to death came back to demand their lives, so he immediately sent people to Zhaoti Temple to ask people to exorcise ghosts and perform rituals.
Master Jingyan from Zhaoti Temple volunteered to go to Zhujiazhuang and performed a grand ritual and held a ghost-catching ceremony.
Runyun, the concubine in the ninth room, was frightened to the point of going crazy. Master Jingyan set up a formation in Runyun's room and held a dojo all night. Runyu also slowly recovered.
Zhu Yong has always believed in the Buddha who took refuge in Zhaoti Temple, and even his concubines could not give birth to children with him.
But after I went to Zhaoti Temple to beg for a child, I was still pregnant when I came back.
Therefore, Zhu Yong was very convinced of Zhaoti Temple.
After this haunting incident, Zhu Yong became even more devoted to Zhaoti Temple.
However, I thought the matter would stop there, but who knew it would start again some time ago.
This time, Zhaoti Temple only sent an ordinary monk over and performed the ritual as usual, but it had no effect.
There are ghost cries in Zhuangzi at night, and sometimes female ghosts can be seen, which makes people panic. People in Zhuangzi dare not come out to urinate at night.
Therefore, Mu asked the housekeeper to find a way and wanted to invite Master Jingyan to come over and do it.
Zhu Xi had no choice but to agree.
This was a major matter and he had to discuss it with Zhu Yong.
When I left the room and walked into the school grounds, I saw Zhu Yong riding a horse, holding a bow in his hand, shooting arrows at the target.
Zhu Yong's cavalry shooting was very good. He could hit the target every time. The men who helped him gave bursts of cheers, and the scene was really lively.
Zhu Xi stood at the edge of the school field, waiting for Zhu Yong to finish making trouble and get off his horse, then walked over.
"Master, Madam said she would like to invite Master Jingyan to come over again to practice. Look at this..."
When talking about this matter, Zhu Yong's face became ugly.
"Go ahead and ask Master Jingyan. His method worked last time."
"Who on earth dares to come back and cause trouble even though he's not completely dead?"
Zhu Yong was very angry. He was not afraid of anyone alive. Even Shi Le, he dared to stand up to him.
But there was nothing he could do about things like being haunted.
"Then I will send someone to Zhaoti Temple tomorrow to invite you?"
"Go ahead, go early."
The housekeeper Zhu Xi agreed.
Lao Zhang from the kitchen came over and said, "Master, the game is ready."
When Zhu Yong heard that the game was ready in the wild, he became greedy and shouted: "Let's go eat game!"
A group of people went to the dining hall noisily. Bowls of meat were placed on the table, and several large jars of wine were opened.
Zhu Yong took the lead and drank from a large bowl, ate large pieces of meat, and made a loud noise with his fists, making him look like a forest hero.
Zhu Xi shot the venison himself and ate it. He didn't like to make trouble with these people.
Outside Zhuangzi.
Jingle bell bell...
The clear ringing of bells came from the roadside in the distance. A young Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe, riding a donkey, walked slowly towards Zhujiazhuang.
"The great road is invisible, giving birth to the heaven and the earth; the great road is ruthless, moving the sun and the moon; the great road is nameless, nourishing all things..."
The Taoist priest on the donkey's back was shaking the Sanqing Bell, singing chants in his mouth, and holding a whisk in his hand, showing an otherworldly appearance.
The farmers working on both sides straightened up and looked at the Taoist priest.
"Why are the Taoists here?"
"We're here just in time, our Zhuangzi is being haunted."
"Shh... don't say that, I'll beat you to death!"
The Taoist priest wandered to the gate of Zhuangzi. The donkey stopped. The Taoist priest looked up at the sky above Zhuangzi and kept looking at it.
The two strong men guarding the door were wondering what the monks were doing.
But the Taoist priest said nothing, just looking at the sky above Zhuangzi.
After a long time, the Taoist priest was still like that.
The strong man guarding the gate finally couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "Taoist, what are you looking at?"
The Taoist priest lowered his head and said in surprise: "Why is your Zhuangzi so evil? This is a sign of evil spirits entering the house!"
Hearing what the Taoist said, the strong man quickly asked: "Can the Taoist catch ghosts?"
