Zhu Yong walked into the room and saw his concubine Narcissus leaning on the bed, looking much better.
"master."
Several maids in the room immediately came over and kowtowed to pay homage.
Zhu Yong ignored it, sat down by the bed, took Narcissus' delicate jade hand, and asked: "Are you feeling better?"
The room was filled with oil lamps and candles, leaving no dark corners and no mosquito nets hanging.
Narcissus still looked a little scared and asked: "Master, I heard thunder in the yard just now. Is it... that the evil spirit has been eliminated?"
The noise just now was so loud that Narcissus heard it even with the door closed.
Zhu Yong said happily: "Yes, Taoist Master Chongxu invited the Zifu Sky Thunder to blow up the female ghost to death. Her soul was gone."
"Don't be afraid, there will never be any female ghosts again."
Zhu Yong likes Narcissus very much because she is watery and very watery.
Zhu Yong has a special hobby. When he is thirsty at night, he does not like to drink tea. He likes to drink water.
There were many beauties and he could save him from having tea at midnight. He had been looking for a concubine for decades, but there was only Narcissus.
Of course, the water I drink is boiled water, from the kettle.
"That's good, it scared me to death."
Narcissus held Zhu Yong's hand tightly and said, "Master, please stay with me tonight, I'm still afraid."
Zhu Yong smiled and said: "Okay, I'm here to accompany you."
The maid immediately happily came over to help him take off his clothes and wash his feet, and waited for Zhu Yong to rest in the room.
In the courtyard of this big family, it's like fighting for favor in the palace. If the master of the house spends a lot of time with his concubine, the maids in that room will become more arrogant.
That night, Zhujiazhuang was very quiet, and there were no more ghost cries.
The next day, when the sun rose, Zhu Yong slowly got up, and Narcissus slept peacefully that night and felt better.
The maid served them both up and had breakfast.
Narcissus suddenly said: "Master, it seems that a Taoist priest came yesterday. Was he the one who exorcised evil spirits for me?"
Zhu Yong felt a little unhappy when he remembered that Long Chen had pricked several of Narcissus' heads with the magic-breaking needle yesterday.
His own woman, in front of him...Long Chen did that.
However, there is nothing we can do about it, the Narcissus is like that.
"Yes, that's Taoist Master Chongxu. Fortunately, he gave you acupuncture to drive away evil spirits and gave you pills."
Narcissus said curiously: "I want to see, what does this Taoist priest look like if he is so powerful?"
Zhu Yong had a knot in his heart and didn't want Narcissus to see Long Chen, but he couldn't bear Narcissus's entanglement and had to take her there.
After coming out of the room, the concubines in other rooms saluted Zhu Yong at the door.
Everyone was wearing bright clothes, hoping to take this opportunity to win Zhu Yong's favor.
Narcissus raised her chin high, puffed out her chest, held Zhu Yong's arm and walked all the way, like a victorious rooster.
"What's the air about you little bitch? Ghosts scream when you see ghosts."
The concubine in the fourteenth room sneered and mocked.
The concubine in the fifteenth room next to him echoed: "Yes, if it weren't for that Taoist priest, he would be lying on the bed right now."
The concubine in the sixteenth room came over, looked at Narcissus's back and said, "I heard that the Taoist priest pricked her here with a needle."
The concubine in the sixteenth room pointed to her chest, and the others took a breath and felt their teeth were sore.
"No, you're pricking your head?"
The concubine in the sixteenth room pursed her lips and said "hmm", indicating that this was the case.
Others clicked their tongues and said: "Then it won't be punctured here too, right?"
The concubine in the sixteenth room said vividly: "Who knows, maybe it was pierced. I heard that I was only wearing a bellyband at that time, and everything was looked at."
These concubines talked a lot behind their backs, and they were just talking about Narcissus being put on the spot by Long Chen.
Narcissus ignored the gossip behind him. He had heard this kind of talk too much, and Zhu Yong didn't care. He was used to competing for favor among concubines.
When they arrived at the guest room, Long Chen had already packed his things and was about to leave, but the housekeeper Zhu Xi was trying to persuade him to stay.
"Master of the village, the Taoist priest is leaving."
The housekeeper Zhu Xi couldn't keep him, so when he saw Zhu Yong coming, he immediately reported it.
Zhu Yong took two steps forward, stopped Long Chen, and said: "Taoist Master, are you leaving? You are our great benefactor in Zhujiazhuang, can you stay for two more days? I can also fulfill my friendship as a landlord."
Zhu Yong was grateful to Long Chen from the bottom of his heart and wanted to keep Long Chen at home for two more days.
Long Chen glanced at Narcissus. Today she was wearing a light pink dress, a snake bun, a golden walking stick, and gorgeous makeup.
The dress is so light and thin that you can almost see the tender skin underneath.
Long Chen thought to himself: Yesterday, I was gentle with the acupuncture...
"Thank you very much for the kindness of the owner of the village. I am a poor man who travels all over the world and is used to being idle outside. I feel uncomfortable living here."
"It is Pindao's duty to conquer demons and demons. The owner of the village does not need to be polite."
"Well..."
Long Chen carefully looked at Narcissus, but hesitated to speak.
Zhu Yong didn't know what Long Chen meant, so he quickly said: "Narcissus, why don't you thank Taoist Chongxu for saving your life."
Narcissus kept secretly looking at Long Chen, and she was amazed by Long Chen's appearance and temperament.
Zhu Yong is older and average-looking. Long Chen has a tall and straight figure, handsome appearance, and a Taoist robe. He has the temperament of a worldly master. Narcissus thought to himself: I heard that he looked at my body, and he originally felt that he was at a loss.
It's not a bad idea now.
Yesterday, after Narcissus woke up, the maid told him how to exorcise the devil.
Narcissus heard that Long Chen had stabbed her with a magic needle while wearing pajamas, and she felt extremely ashamed at that time.
Now that I saw Long Chen so handsome, I felt a little excited.
Narcissus took a step forward and bowed with a smile: "Narcissus thanks Taoist Priest for saving his life."
Long Chen looked at Narcissus with a strange expression on his face, but he still made a salute: "A good man is being polite, it's just a matter of duty."
After saying that, Long Chen still insisted on leaving, but Zhu Yong couldn't hold him back and immediately asked Zhu Xi to go to the warehouse to get the money.
"The Taoist priest has been of great help, and I will definitely reward you with a lot of money."
Zhu Yong is a generous person who is willing to spend money.
Zhu Xi immediately went to the warehouse, but Long Chen stopped Zhu Xi and said, "Master of the village, I am a monk, so what is the use of gold and silver?"
"Pindao said, it's your duty to subjugate and eliminate demons. There is no need to be more polite."
Zhu Yong insisted on giving it, saying, "I know Taoist priests don't like money, but I must give it."
"Zhu Xi, go quickly. I only want gold, not silver."
Zhu Xi immediately went to the warehouse.
Long Chen had no choice but to wait.
After a while, Zhu Xi came over with a box. Zhu Yong opened it and looked at it. It was full of gold coins, so he closed it and gave it to Long Chen.
"Taoist Priest, don't dislike me. I have nothing but money."
Zhu Yong said it very sincerely, Long Chen smiled helplessly and said: "Okay, if you refuse again, it will be difficult for the owner of the village."
Long Chen reluctantly collected the box, and Zhu Yong was now happy.
"Pindao said goodbye."
Zhu Xi brought the donkey over, Long Chen got on the donkey, and Zhu Yong personally held the bit and walked out.
Narcissus followed behind, and other people in Zhuangzi were watching on both sides. Many people put their hands together and saluted Long Chen, which looked very funny.
Performing Buddhist rituals in front of a Taoist priest is neither fish nor fowl.
After leaving the main gate of Zhuangzi, Long Chen said: "Master, please come back."
Zhu Yong was unwilling and said, "I'll see off the Taoist priest again."
He turned back to Narcissus and said, "You go back first."
Narcissus glanced at Long Chen reluctantly and stopped helplessly at the door.
Zhu Xi brought a horse over, and Zhu Yong got on the horse and walked forward with Long Chen.
After walking for a few miles, Long Chen stopped, his face hesitant, still looking like he was hesitant to speak.
Zhu Yong was not stupid, he had already noticed that Long Chen had something on his mind.
"Taoist Master, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly. You are my great benefactor."
