Chapter 44 Chapter 44
Manager Jiang was waiting all the time, and saw this and hurriedly met him.
She looked at the old man in obscurely and saw that the old man was rare in ancient times, wearing plain clothes, straight back, energetic, and not as good as ordinary people. In addition, County Magistrate Du was so respectful in front of him, he guessed in his heart that the old man should be of great origin.
"Please come from the county master," Manager Jiang's smile was not too flattering, but he was also eager. "The private room is ready upstairs, so I will take you up now."
Seeing that the gentleman did not show any objection, County Magistrate Du immediately said, "I'm working hard."
After going upstairs into the private room, Manager Jiang served all the wine and food, and immediately stepped out.
Without the idle people waiting, County Magistrate Du first exchanged a few greetings with his husband and soon got to the point: "Didn't the gentleman stay in Lu'an for a long time, why did he suddenly come to the water?"
Although he had a little guess in his heart, he still didn't quite understand what it was for.
"Yannian wrote to me that you have met ghosts, but this matter is absolutely true?" Mr. Lu'an was not a person who was confined to the form, not to mention that he had been thinking about this matter all the way, and now he had to ask clearly.
"How dare this matter be false?" Sun He said next to him, "I'm going to tell you that it's the first time I've encountered such a strange thing after studying for so many years. In the past, students had heard similar rumors in Yamamura Noshi, but before they saw it, the students always sneered. It was because of this time that they had experienced it personally that they wanted to tell you."
"Brother Sun is right." County Magistrate Du also proved, "After we cheated the man surnamed Huang that day, I casually asked everyone to drink and celebrate. As a result, that night, all the wine in the wine jars in my mansion turned into white water, and it didn't taste any taste. The next day, the chef complained that the rice wine in the kitchen was secretly replaced with white water."
Knowing that these two students were not cunning people, if they had not experienced it personally, they would not dare to make such a fool of themselves. Mr. Lu'an nodded and said, "I came here this time to find someone."
Looking for someone?
County Magistrate Du and Sun He couldn't help but look at each other, and County Magistrate Du said, "You are for... Xiaolang?"
As a teacher, students basically know who Xiaolang is.
My husband was over 70 years old and had a son under his knees. Later, he died prematurely because he was seriously ill, leaving behind a widow and a young son.
The youngest son called Xiaolang, who was lively and cute, but he was lost when he was five years old. After more than ten years, he has not heard from him.
Because of his son's loss, Mrs. Shen died of depression, and only a pair of elderly people remained in the family.
Last year, the teacher's wife passed away, and now there is only the teacher left.
Looking at the old body of the husband, County Magistrate Du's heart suddenly felt like something was blocked, and his nose couldn't help feeling a little sore.
"It has been thirteen years, and I can't find anyone. When I go downstairs, it's not easy to explain to them." Mr. Lu'an was not that heavy. Instead, he smiled and teased himself, "Do your people and do your best. If you don't work hard, then ask the ghosts and gods. This is not enough, and I can only leave with regret."
"Bao! What are you saying?" County Magistrate Du immediately said, "Since you are here, let us leave this matter. Don't say that we have a master who can see these things. I will go back and have someone invite him to ask you for help."
Speaking of this, County Magistrate Du complained to himself again: "Why didn't I think of these before? If I had thought of these earlier, maybe I wouldn't have needed you to come here."
Seeing him like this, Mr. Lu'an couldn't help but smile. Although he was a little stupid and not suitable for the officialdom, his character was still pure.
"Let's have dinner first, you should be hungry. I've been looking for it for so many years, and I'm not in a hurry." He said.
"Okay." County Magistrate Du hurriedly greeted him, and personally wrapped the sliced sweet sauce duck, put it on the plate in front of his husband, and said, "Sir, try the good dishes here, I guarantee you have never eaten them elsewhere."
Mr. Lu'an was disrespectful to the warm hospitality of the students. After savoring it, he nodded and praised: "The taste is indeed good. The duck meat is fat but not greasy, and the taste is refreshing. People who make this dish have real skills."
"It's good that you like it." In order to make my mentor happy, County Magistrate Du deliberately told him his embarrassment. "Although this dish is sold in this restaurant, the chef who makes this dish is not the chef in the restaurant, but the chef in a Taoist temple twenty miles away. I wanted to take Sun He to taste this dish, but the owner scolded me."
After saying that, he realized that it was not a good thing that someone called him a "little meal" and his face suddenly became embarrassed again.
Mr. Lu'an didn't know the inside story, but when he saw his expression, he knew that it was probably not a good thing, so he changed the topic and said: "I came all the way and went to Lishui County. I saw that the people were living a peaceful life, but they were too poor. Since you are the commander of a county, you should be the leader in everything. Even if you can't be a capable official, you can try to be a good parent and protect the safety of the people in the country."
This last sentence made County Magistrate Du suddenly enlightened.
Over the past few months, he has indeed been worried about his lack of ability, and he even wanted to resign from office several times. Today, he felt enlightened when he heard what his husband said.
Although he is not a capable person, he can slowly learn to be a good official.
"The student understands." County Magistrate Du said gratefully.
While the three teachers and students were chatting, Fu Yao stood on the subjective top of the Qingsong Temple and looked towards Lishui County.
Zhongli appeared beside her at some point. He was also looking at the clouds in the sky with his hands behind his back.
"It seems that you have also noticed that with such a strong literary fortune, it seems that a great figure has come to Lishui County." Fu Yao said.
Because this sudden literary movement stayed here, the air transport of the entire water flowed along with it.
If this article stays for a long time, if there are some lucky children born during this period, they may still appear on the Apricot List.
"You can keep him." Zhongli said.
"What do I keep him for?" Fu Yao was not very interested. He lay lazily on the roof to bask in the sun. "I don't have children, and I don't want my children to be the top scorer."
"Wenyun is also luck." Zhongli glanced at her and sat down beside her, "Don't you want to be truly alive? You are just walking in this world under the guise of someone else's body. Even if you can taste the taste and smell the fragrance of flowers, this still cannot change the fact that you are just a wandering soul."
Fu Yao faced the scorching sun above his head. After a while, he felt it was too hot, so he simply covered Zhongli's sleeves on his face, "Don't you think you have become a little talkative these days? Are you worried that I can't think of it, so I encourage my wandering soul to survive?"
Zhongli pulled his sleeve back little by little and bounced the saliva on it, "If your broken Taoist temple can be worth 165,800 yuan, it's only one or two taels of silver, you can die no matter how you want."
"Tsk, it's so cold." Fu Yao pulled it out from somewhere and held it in his mouth with the dogtail grass, "Zhongli, how old are you now?"
Zhongli didn't answer.
"I have been alone for so many years. Wouldn't I feel lonely and bored?" Fu Yao asked again.
"No." Zhongli was willing to answer this time, "The world is very interesting. I am not afraid of the sun. If I get bored, I will try something I have never done before and do it to the extreme. The wine you drink is brewed by me; the bottle you crushed is burned by me. The ancient books in the tomb are also copied bit by bit. The world where thousands of people exist and thousands of lives. I have to experience it one by one before I can bear to leave."
Fu Yao understood, "No wonder you said you wanted to stay in this world. Actually, I also think it's fake to do something for others. In fact, more people are for themselves. People are selfish, but too few people are so open-minded."
The two of them sat on the roof and chatted, and the sun in the sky gradually moved westward.
On the other hand, after sending his husband to the county government to rest, he immediately asked someone to go to the Heavenly Dao Temple and invited Tiandaozi.
Tiandaozi also asked about the reasons on the road. By the time he arrived at the county government office, he had a clear idea.
"You may be divining and asking about ghosts and gods?" County Magistrate Du asked directly.
Tiandaozi did not immediately refuse: "You have to try this. I have never done this for anyone before, not to mention that this time is too long, I can't guarantee whether it can be achieved. I can only say that I can do my best."
"Then try it first."
So County Magistrate Du took Tian Daozi to the house to meet the husband. Mr. Lu'an had no airs. After knowing Tian Daozi's identity, he asked the servant to take out a box.
There is half a piece of jade inside the box.
"This is the jade pendant my grandson wore back then. Although I can't guarantee that the jade is still there, I can only try this at this time." Mr. Lu'an said.
Tiandaozi nodded naturally, asked about the birth date and eight characters, and opened the way to start the practice, asking for ghosts and gods.
Seeing his attitude, Mr. Lu'an naturally saw that he had some practice. He was originally calm and could not help but feel a little expectant.
However, two quarters of an hour later, Tian Daozi opened his eyes with a pale face, but in the end he shook his head at him, "I can't ask."
His Taoist practice is still too shallow. If people can still search around, they are obviously not in Lishui.
After getting this answer, Mr. Lu'an forced a smile, "This is also expected. After all, it's too long. I came this time just with a mindset of inadvertent. If I can't find it, it's true that I don't have the fate of being a grandchild."
County Magistrate Du and Sun He hurriedly comforted him, saying that the Immortal Master could try again in the future. If this time doesn’t work, maybe it’s OK next time. Moreover, the Immortal Master can’t be found, but he still has senior brothers and masters, and can always ask for help to find it together.
It was probably the master and senior brother who ordered Tiandaozi. Tiandaozi said at this time: "Old sir, the county lord is right. I can't find anyone, but someone may be able to find it for you."
Mr. Lu'an looked at him again, and County Magistrate Du said hurriedly: "Who?"
Tiandaozi was calm and unhurried, "It was the ones who lived in the Huang Mansion before. All the ghosts appeared in the Huang Mansion, so there must be someone behind it. I will ask now to see if I can find the person behind it."
Originally, he didn't want to provoke that person, but now if he could get into the eyes of the county magistrate because of this matter, he would choose to fight.
"Then hurry up!" said the magistrate of County Du.
Tiandaozi took a moment of rest and opened the altar again. This time he was not as fancy as before. He sat in the altar, closed his eyes and wandered away.
This time I waited for a while. Almost half an hour passed before Tiandaozi opened his eyes, and there was no trace of blood on his lips.
"Sir, I asked!" His eyes were filled with excitement, "Qingsong Temple, that senior is in a temple called Qingsong Temple on Yangui Mountain."
Chapter completed!
