Chapter 162 Causation will be late, but not absent
When Xu Ce said those words, Mao Shanming knew that his plan had failed.
However, who is Mao Shanming? If he fails, he will fail. It’s okay, but this does not prevent him from continuing to make money. Anyway, he has decided that as long as Xu Ce does not leave Tan House, he will not leave. I still don’t believe it.
, this Tan Wanwan dares to come and bombard him, but he won’t succeed!
Mao Shanming laughed without any embarrassment and said:
"Since fellow Daoist Xu has said so, Pindao can rest assured. Come and have a meal. You're welcome."
As he spoke, Mao Shanming waved shamelessly, then picked up a bowl of porridge on the table and drank it. The food was so nourishing that he did not regard himself as an outsider at all.
If there are different levels of shame, Mao Shanming's rank must belong to the city wall inverted level.
Tan Wanwan's mouth twitched. He thought he had known countless people in his life, but this was the first time he encountered a character like Mao Shanming. He was like a slippery loach, and he had no idea how to start.
Tan Baiwan glanced at Xu Ce, and seeing that Xu Ce didn't say anything, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
The ghosts of the Zhou family caused harm to their Tan family's house and they persisted for half a year. A shameless Taoist priest could just endure it and get over it!
After breakfast, the sky's original fish-belly white color had turned into a bright red morning glow.
"Exceptor Tan, do you have a map of Taishan Town?"
Xu Ce stretched soothingly and turned to ask.
"Yes, please follow me to the study, Taoist Priest."
Yuan Tan made an inviting gesture.
Mao Shanming followed up very unconsciously, which made Xu Ce feel a little speechless. This guy is a complete plaster, and you can't throw it away after applying it.
After taking a look at Tan Wanwan's study room, he found that he was quite particular. He pulled out a scroll from the bookshelf, handed it to Xu Ce, and said:
"Daozhang Xu, this is the map of our Taishan Town. This map is based on the official map. It may be different from the official map, but the difference is not big."
Xu Ce took it, laid the map flat on the desk, and started to read it.
The map that Tan Wanwan gave him was not the flat map of later generations. Instead, it was marked with mountains and simple contour lines. Mountains and mountains were clearly visible.
Xu Ce looked at it for a while and probably had a few good Feng Shui treasure sites in his mind that could be used as a reference. Then he pointed them out on the map and said:
"In addition to Mr. Tan, these places are all suitable. Based on the current conditions of the Tan family, you can choose a place where the ghosts of the Zhou family can be buried as quickly as possible without causing trouble."
Yuan Tan looked down, frowned and thought for a while, then selected a location and said:
"Daozhang Xu, this is the place. It's quite close to the town, and it will be convenient for us, the Tan family, to go there to offer incense in the future.
Moreover, this happens to be the land of my Tan family."
"So good."
Xu Ce nodded and started counting again. In fact, he was recalling whether it was appropriate to break ground today according to the almanac.
Finally got the result, groundbreaking, good luck!
"Executive member Tan, today is a good day. Let's get it ready. After a stick of incense, we'll set off."
"No problem, Director Xu, I will make arrangements right away."
Tan Baiwan was very excited. The worries that were weighing on his heart were finally settled and he could sleep peacefully in the future. It was not easy.
At this time, Mao Shanming touched Xu Ce's arm, and Xu Ce glared at him angrily,
"what!"
"Fellow Daoist Xu, although this place is good, it is better there. Why not let the Tan family bury the ghosts of the Zhou family there?"
Mao Shanming was very confused. Logically speaking, he was just a jobber and shouldn't ask these questions, but a half-hearted Taoist priest was also a Taoist priest and had occupational diseases.
Xu Ce didn't want to explain at first, but looking at Mao Shanming's curious look, and having nothing to do now, he casually said:
"I just want to deal with this matter as soon as possible. The way of spiritual practice of the Zhou family ghosts mainly relies on internal training of the soul body. The amount of Yin Qi does not make much difference to them. If they are close to the town, they can come to the town to inhale the incense gas, and they can save money.
Down some distance.”
"Oh, that's it."
Mao Shanming suddenly realized, and then said:
"Fellow Daoist Xu, actually I don't understand very much. With your Taoist practice, it shouldn't be too difficult to directly exterminate the ghosts of the Zhou family. Why do you have to go to such trouble to help them select a cemetery for reburial?
And although the ghosts of the Zhou family did not harm anyone's life, they did affect the daily life of the people in Taishan Town. For example, last night, before the first watch, there were almost no people in the town of Nuo Da."
Xu Ce smiled, decided to teach Mao Shanming, an old man in the world, a lesson, and said calmly:
"God has the virtue of good life. As practitioners, it is our duty to subjugate demons and defend the right path, but what is the right path?
The right path is the nature of the mind. As long as the heart is good, then everything is the right path.
The members of the Zhou family have been able to keep their true intentions and have spent hundreds of years cultivating their soul bodies, yet they have never absorbed Yuanyang from a living person. This Taoist priest admires them very much.
If nothing else, Taoist Mao, if you turned into a ghost a hundred years later, would you be able to do it?
Let alone you, even I, the Taoist Priest, would find it difficult to maintain his original intention."
"But, they did it!
Moreover, appearing in the Tan family home was completely a misunderstanding and a coincidence. The main fault was not theirs.
Since I have the ability to help, why not help?"
Mao Shanming thought about Xu Ce's words carefully and felt that they made some sense. Just like last night, if the ghosts of the Zhou family wanted to kill him, he, Mao Shanming, would definitely be forced to death.
But the other party just kicked him out. Although the beating made him very unhappy, it was just a beating.
"Been taught a lesson."
Mao Shanming rarely bowed towards Xu Ce in a serious manner and saluted.
Xu Ce waved his hand, shook his head and said:
"Fellow Taoist Mao, you don't have to be like this. As long as you believe that good people will be rewarded, and evil people will be rewarded by even worse people, the cycle of cause and effect may be late, but it will never be absent.
These words may be helpful to fellow Taoist Mao."
After Xu Ce finished speaking, he walked out of the study, leaving Mao Shanming in a daze, thinking carefully about his most of his life, a professional deceit and abduction, occasionally meeting some useless kid, catching him, and living in a muddle-headed way.
Until now, he doesn't even have a wife, and in terms of money, he only has the little money he got in his pocket yesterday, and he is still wandering around the world.
Inexplicably, Mao Shanming felt very sentimental, feeling that his life had been in vain.
Cause and effect, is this cause and effect?
Could it be that he really did too many bad things and received retribution?
"Fellow Daoist Mao, we're leaving. Do you want to come with us?"
After a while, Xu Ce's voice came from outside again.
Mao Shanming came back to his senses, put those things aside for the time being, and quickly responded:
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Xu, wait for me, let's go together."
