Li Xiuyuan nodded after listening: "Very good, what you have done is enough to withstand the kindness of a meal. Since you have eaten your last meal today, I will ask the shopkeeper to send you on your way so that you can be reincarnated as soon as possible.
, so as not to stay in the human world any longer.”
"Thank you, Master." All the starving ghosts raised their hands in gratitude.
Li Xiuyuan nodded, finally reaching an agreement with these starving ghosts.
He did not use forceful means to drive away these starving ghosts. After all, these hungry ghosts were all good people. They just encountered disasters and became starving ghosts, so they hid here to beg for food as a last resort.
Moreover, he did not use ghosts and magic to obtain food, he just stole it as a last resort. This kind of crime is much less serious.
When Li Xiuyuan walked out, the shopkeeper outside hurriedly asked, "Young master, how is the situation?"
He had seen Li Xiuyuan talking to the air and the wall in the store before, as if talking to someone, but he could not hear any sound. He only heard Li Xiuyuan talking to himself, which surprised him.
It seems that there is really a ghost in my store.
However, seeing Li Xiuyuan looking calm and unafraid, the shopkeeper was no longer so panicked.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Shopkeeper, there are several starving ghosts hiding in your store. They were starved to death because they had no food during their lifetime, and there was no one to sacrifice after their death. That's why they were so hungry that they hid in your store to eat.
I hope you don't blame them for a few days. You can have a banquet, put six paper figures, offer sacrifices, and send the paper figures to the temple to be burned at night, then this strange thing will be put to rest.
.”
"Young man, I remember it, but I don't know which temple I want to send the paper figurine to for burning?" the shopkeeper added after writing them down one by one.
Li Xiuyuan said: "The small temple built by my Li family will be fine."
The newly built small temple is dedicated to Iron Mountain. Li Zhong and his loyal guards who died to protect themselves have now become Yin soldiers, taking care of all the ghosts and ghosts in this place.
The shopkeeper nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Although business has been affected these days, don't worry about it. Although you have lost six days of business, you will get more in the future. It is guaranteed to exceed the business money of these six days. What would you do in exchange for such a thing?
It’s hard to even think about others,” Li Xiuyuan said.
Although the shopkeeper didn't quite understand, he still responded.
"Okay, I won't disturb the shopkeeper, you are doing business. I will come to your place to eat next time." Li Xiuyuan said.
"It's good to go, young master." The shopkeeper hurriedly gave another salute.
However, the matter with the shopkeeper of this bun shop reminded Li Xiuyuan.
On the way, he thought to himself: "There used to be a Chenghuang Temple in Guobei City to take care of everything around it, but there is no decent temple in Guobei City, whether it is Tieshan or Li Zhong's temple, those two green-faced temples
, the black-faced Yin soldiers, they are just ancestral halls, not really serious temples. It seems necessary to build a temple here to manage ghosts and gods, otherwise things like this will happen again."
"But building a temple is too troublesome. By the way, Lanruo Temple is now deserted and deserted. The monks in the temple are dying and running away. Rather than abandoning it there, it is better for me to invest in buying Lanruo Temple and then repair it.
Convert Lanruo Temple into a temple."
Without a temple, it is like a place without a government, how can it not cause trouble?
Nowadays, there are more and more ghosts in the mountains and fields, so a place like this is indispensable.
There are ghost soldiers patrolling here, and starving ghosts are haunted. You can imagine other places.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan felt that this matter needed to be implemented immediately.
As soon as I returned to the house, I was immediately summoned by my father.
Li Dafu looked at Li Xiuyuan with a strange expression and said, "My son, you haven't been home these past two days. Where have you been?"
Li Xiuyuan didn't talk about going to Lanruo Temple before, so Li Dafu didn't know that Li Xiuyuan went to Lanruo Temple to eliminate demons, otherwise he would not let Li Xiuyuan go out no matter what.
"My child visited a colleague and friend last night. He is a talented scholar named Ning Caichen. He talked with him about poems and songs for two nights, so he came back late and asked his father to punish him." He opened his eyes.
Telling lies.
At this time, it was time for Ning Caichen to take the blame again.
"Well, that's right. There are scholars who talk and laugh, but there are no idle people in our interactions. This is a good thing. My son should walk around with them more. If he walks around, he will be an official in the temple in the future. These classmates and friends are extremely important." Li Dafu shook his head and read.
This poem has a bit of a rotten Confucian temperament.
I don’t know when he learned these two sentences.
"Yes. My child has taken note of it." Li Xiuyuan also responded respectfully.
Li Dafu changed his words again, "But having said that, my son, did you know that a coffin came to the house last night? My father was also shocked when the coffin arrived. He thought someone had died in the house.
Well, it turned out that it was not someone from the Li family who died."
"..." Li Xiuyuan wanted to find a reason.
But he found that the matter of the coffin was indeed difficult to explain, so he just had to bite the bullet and say: "That's Qingmei's coffin. The child moved it here specially."
Li Dafu also knew something about Qingmei. She was a woman who loved her son. She passed away due to an accident. Otherwise, she would have passed away and become a concubine of the Li family.
Because of this incident, the Li family even lost a pair of gold locks.
Sure enough, this still cannot be determined by the nature of the son. Can gold locks be given randomly? They are for ordinary wives.
"So that's it, it's that woman's coffin. Why did my son move her coffin? After all, she hasn't passed through the family yet and is not considered a member of the Li family." Li Dafu said, his attitude was obvious, and he did not acknowledge Qingmei's identity.
.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Since you have made a lifelong commitment, you should keep your promise. This is just the way to behave in the world. And doesn't the father often educate his children to be honest? Qingmei is already the wife and concubine of the boy, and the boy thinks that she is already a member of the Li family.
It should be moved to the Li family cemetery."
"My son's words are reasonable." Li Dafu thought for a moment: "Well, you can make the decision on this matter, but some things cannot be delayed any longer. The two maids around you should also be restrained.
dragged."
"Yes, I understand, kid," Li Xiuyuan said.
He smiled inwardly and shook his head. It seemed that his father was still resolute in carrying on the family line.
You can give in to anything, but you cannot give in to this matter.
But this is understandable. After all, the Li family has been passed down to me for at least four generations. If something happened to me, the Li family would really have no descendants.
Anyway, it's better to catch the sun today, so I'll take the two people around me and go tonight.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan's heart couldn't help but beat.
